Chapter 590: The Beauty of Strength
Tao Mai and others finally decided to abandon the bamboo and go to the river, which was safer and safer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that when they were halfway there, they suddenly felt that something flew in front of them, and then landed steadily, no one expected that it was twelve-year-old Tao Youkang.
Tao Youkang's face was a little pale, probably frightened, but the moment his feet hit the ground, it was Aijun's cheers, "I did it, I did it!" ”
He quickly turned and ran away.
Several other people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little bad in their hearts, they are all older than Tao Youkang, but the courage is not a little bit or two, everyone fell silent, silently wading the river.
Later, the last wave of people rushed over, and they all painted gourds in the same way, took off their shoes and waded into the river.
Originally, Zeng Aijun's team was at the front, but unfortunately Zhang Yuqiang actually fell at the last moment and twisted his foot.
Zhang Heihu wanted to run with him on his back, but he didn't do it, he desperately hugged a tree and didn't leave, saying that he didn't delay everyone's trip, anyway, it would be good if Zhang Heihu won in the Zhang family.
Zhang Heihu glanced at his younger brother, "When I'm done and I'll carry you, you just sit here and don't move." ”
Zeng Anxin and others were the first to arrive, and the number of mushrooms in the basket was large and good, so it was immediately announced that they had successfully passed the test.
The subsequent Tao Mai and Li Lamei also passed, as for Dong Xiaoyan, Hu Feifei and Tao Xiaoying, they were eliminated, and the four female Chuntong in the preliminary round were Zeng Anxin, Yu Xiaoli, Li Lamei, and Tao Mai; The four boys are Zeng Aijun, Zhang Heihu, Tao Youde, and Tao Youkang.
The Zeng family passed the three, and the Tao family also passed the three, so they were happy.
He didn't expect his daughter to be able to pass the test, and his eyes were red with excitement. Yu Xiaoli looked at Zeng Anxin and Zhang Heihu gratefully, if it weren't for their help, she would definitely be eliminated.
Those who passed the preliminary competition could go to the village chief's house to receive a hundred yuan and a piece of cloth, Tao Hai directly put out the cloth and silver, and sent it to everyone in front of the big guys.
His own family also went back to the field and personally sent it to Tao Mai, Tao Youkang, and Tao Youde, and as for the three people of the Zeng family, they were sent to Zeng Youqu together.
When Yu Dayong was holding the cloth and holding a hundred yuan, he loved it like something, as if this was the best thing in the world.
Grandma Li only has such a granddaughter, two people, one old and one young, and the family is also very poor, this time she can not only get the money from the village, but also get cloth, she is simply crazy to love the army, and she wipes her tears vigorously, and wants to kowtow to the village chief and the big guys.
She is so old, who dares to let her kowtow, and they all helped her to persuade her.
Hu Feifei pulled Hu Butcher's sleeve, kept stomping and twisting, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by his father.
"Good daughter, our family is not bad for money, isn't it just a cotton cloth, go back and buy you beautiful clothes made of brocade, and then buy beautiful jewelry, it's much better than this."
"Dad, I'm not reconciled, why, if there is no Tao Mai, then Chuntong is mine, she is sixteen, she is embarrassed to report that she is fourteen years old, why don't you let me say it, I will demolish her, see if she still has a face?"
"You stupid child, who is her father, her father is the village chief, do those clans always sell your face, or sell the village chief's face, besides, who in this village doesn't know that Tao Mai has long been an adult, and he has already passed the age of sixteen, and people don't talk about it? I can't say that Taoyuan Village won't be able to live anymore. ”
Hu Butcher coaxed a lot and promised many benefits, before he finally coaxed Hu Feifei back, and at the same time, he also despised the Tao family's actions in his heart.
In this primary election, the most shameless thing is Tao Mai, who passed the test by pretending to be his real age and taking up other people's places; The luckiest is Yu Xiaoli, although she doesn't know how to read, but she also plays a role in dying; The saddest thing is probably Dong Xiaoyan, and later Zeng Anxin learned that she was eliminated when she was in Shengli Village, and she pointed to Taoyuan Village with all her heart, but she was also eliminated.
As for the most relaxed, of course, the Zeng brothers and sisters, this is simply a piece of cake, okay?
The results of the primary election competition have been shining overhead, and everyone is thirsty and hungry, so hurry home to eat, and there will be a lively scene to see in the afternoon.
Zeng Anxin learned that Zeng Gaoda was going to participate in the challenge in the afternoon, so he hurriedly poured a bowl of jade pool water in his space for his eldest brother to drink, and pinched his shoulders to beat his shoulders to exercise his muscles.
After Zeng Gaoda had eaten by himself, he ran a few laps in the grassland to warm up, and then took his younger siblings to the courtyard of the village chief's house again.
In the afternoon, there were no fewer people than in the morning, but most of them were women and men, and there were fewer children.
In the courtyard of the village chief's house, there is a small stone mill, which is already being held by a man at this moment, only to see that his forehead is sweating like rain, his face is gradually turning red, his legs are also beginning to tremble, and there is a pillar of incense burning leisurely next to him.
Time seemed to be divided into countless equal parts, tormented and supported, and finally the man let out a loud roar, threw the stone grinder forward, made a loud noise, took a few steps backwards, sat on the ground with his buttocks, wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, and said heavily, "No, no, it's too heavy, half an hour, it's impossible." ”
Butcher Hu walked out of the crowd shirtless, "Let me come, I want to see how much it can weigh, on weekdays, I killed the pig, it was one or two hundred catties of meat, and carried it from the village to the town, without breathing, I said don't try it, this opportunity is mine." ”
"Hu Dahai, don't brag and smash your foot, you have to be able to survive the time."
"That's it, who wouldn't just brag, I also said that I ran a day with a thousand pounds, just like playing, you are a donkey or a horse, pull it out and slip."
There were bursts of laughter from the crowd, and the butcher Hu, who was suddenly excited, his already purple face turned even bluer, let out a roar, put on a posture, stood in front of the stone mill, rubbed his hands together, and lifted the stone mill above his head at once.
"Wow, it's so powerful, when Niu Er lifted it just now, he still slowly lifted it above his head, but I didn't expect Hu Dahai to really have a few brushes."
Butcher Hu grinned proudly at everyone, "This weight is like chicken feathers, village chief, if there is any more, you don't want to add another mill." ”
Tao Hai smoked a dry cigarette leisurely, sat under the eaves, and when he heard Hu Dahai's voice, he smiled and said, "No need, the weight of this mill is several times that of the spring cow, if you can lift it for half an hour, and others can't lift it, this job is yours." ”
Hu Dahai immediately showed his mouth full of yellow teeth and laughed, "Then you can just look at it, don't say half an hour, it's no problem for an hour." ”
Time slipped by bit by bit, and the sweat on Hu Dahai's face also flowed down like rain, saying that it was easy, but it was impossible to really lift more than a hundred catties of things on top of his head, not tired.
A pillar of incense is a quarter of an hour, and half an hour is the time of four pillars of incense, seeing that the incense is about to burn to the third one, the quiet crowd burst out again, this time not sneering, but cheering for Hu Dahai.
It's just that Butcher Hu's face became a little pale, and his legs began to shiver invisibly.
"Order the fourth incense, Hu Dahai, if you can really hold on, my brothers will call you to drink tonight, don't embarrass the man's face, work harder."
Hu Feifei didn't know when he came over, and shouted, "Come on, Dad, you must be able to, come on." ”
She figured it out, as long as her father was chosen, she could also go to the county to play at that time, and it didn't matter if she couldn't be a spring child, she could go to the Xingchun Ceremony anyway.
Hu Dahai's face was even whiter, his sweat was more urgent, he was soaked all over his body, his legs seemed to kneel down at any time, and the crowd suddenly quieted down, looking at the fourth incense, which was about to burn to the end.
Finally, the four incense sticks were burned, but Hu Dahai did not lose the stone, Tao Hai knocked the cigarette pouch, "Okay, take the mill down." ”
Hu Butcher suddenly cried and said, "I can't move, village chief, please ask someone to help take the mill down, I feel that as soon as I move, the mill will hit my body." ”
Uh, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they burst out laughing, but some people said with a change of color on their faces, "It must have been too long, the legs are stiff, Hu Dahai is not easy, I have lifted it for half an hour, you are still laughing, and I can't hold on to a pillar of incense for you." ”
Tao Hai immediately commanded a few young people, stepped forward at the same time, and took down the stone grinder, and Butcher Hu's whole person was like a paralyzed mud, lying on the ground, leaving only his chest panting.
Zeng Gao frowned, his eyes were grim, it seemed that the opponent was very strong, half an hour, it was an hour, he didn't know if he could survive it, and Hu Butcher also survived, if it was the same, then who would the other party choose?
Zeng Gao's eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth tightened, as if he had made a decision, and when Tao Hai asked if there was anyone else, he strode over, "I'll try." ”
When everyone saw that Zeng was tall, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then compared his body with the horizontal flesh of Hu Butcher's body, and they all felt that Zeng was tall and useless.
Zeng Gaoda didn't look at everyone's faces, just took a deep breath, suddenly paused, and the ground he stepped on rumbled, and then slowly grabbed the stone grinder with both hands, and moved it above his head little by little.
Everyone was apprehensive when they saw it, and they whispered, "Okay, don't be reckless, it's not a joke for such a big thing to fall down." ”
Zeng Gaoda's face did not change color, and his movements were not hurried, seeing that he was about to move to the top of his head, suddenly he changed his gesture, and his body turned around under the stone mill, and changed his grasp to a hand support, and his hand also changed its position.
That moment frightened everyone, and the crowd withdrew several feet away, for fear that the stone grinder would roll down and hit themselves.
Butcher Hu only came to life at this time, and said with a smile while drinking water, "Zeng is tall, you can't do it, with your small body, you can hold up a pillar of incense at most." ”
Zeng Gao slowly shifted his center of gravity, his eyes were firm, his facial features were resolute, what he wanted was not a pillar of incense, but a one-handed support for half an hour!
Zeng An'an stared at Zeng Gaoda for a moment, his hands clenched into fists, and he shouted excitedly, "Big brother, you can do it!" ”
Yu Xiaoli was a little worried, and persuaded in a low voice, "Brother Gao, if you really can't do it, don't bother, this stone grinder looks very scary." ”
Zhang Heihu also stared at Zeng Gaoda tightly, with anxiety and worry in his heart, and a trace of excitement, he shook his wrist, he also wanted to try.
He is at home, a hundred pounds of things, and often carries up and down the mountain, running without panting, this stone grinder, lifting should be able to lift, but lifting for half an hour, he also has a little drum in his heart.
Fortunately, Zeng Youqu didn't let Zhang come, otherwise she would definitely have to be excited and worried about affecting the fetus.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly erupted in surprise and cheers, it turned out to be Zeng Gao, who slowly freed up his right hand and waved it in front of everyone.
"Oh my God, he actually held it up with one hand, it's amazing!"
"One hand, he really held it up with one hand. I didn't expect this gambler to be tall and have this ability? ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, people have reformed themselves, I heard that they also served as the captain of the guard for the mayor of the town, if they weren't thinking about their families, they wouldn't have gone back to the village to farm."
Hu Feifei bit his lip tightly, his eyes were very complicated for a while, he was a little upturned and a little worried, he couldn't help pinching Hu Butcher's arm tightly, his sharp nails were pinched into his father's flesh, and Hu Butcher gasped in pain.
Hu Butcher said with a fluke mentality, "Young man, young and vigorous, don't be too blind, too impulsive, if you can use two hands to support the five pillars of incense, then I will give you this opportunity, but you still want to support the four pillars of incense with one hand, it is absolutely impossible, don't hurt yourself, it will be your father and mother who will be sad at that time." ”
As soon as he said this, the big guys reacted, yes, what about more than a hundred pounds of things, although the arms are thick, I'm afraid they can't support them for so long, right?
Zeng was tall and firm, with a steady posture, his eyes looked firmly ahead, and in his eyes, there was a thumbs up from Xiaomei and a trusting smile, and he knew that Xiaomei would definitely believe that he could do it.
When the younger sister and the second brother can make money for the family, he can too!
"A pillar of incense is burned! Oh my God, he didn't even move, this kid has so much strength. ”
"Yes, yes, whoever gets such a son-in-law in the future will be blessed."
"Aunt Zhang, didn't you tell me before, there is a girl in your uncle's family of the seventh aunt's family, and she is of marriage age this year, you see how tall our village is, although he has made some mistakes before, but now he has repented, he has great strength, and he works hard, but it is very good."
Zeng Anxin poured these words into his ears, he was really speechless, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother would be able to attract peach blossom luck after a competition.
Listening to everyone's gossip, Hu Feifei's eyes became hotter and hotter, and a red cloud floated on his originally pale face for some reason.
