Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sweet Girl Who Tended the Sheep

Zhao Dajia explained to He Tiantian alone that it was also because of the bowl of rabbit meat last night. In the eyes of other educated youths, the animal husbandry team www.biquge.info is unwilling to do the work that is related to feces and urine.

Only the true farmer knows that this work is lighter than other jobs. This time, Secretary Qi and Zhao Dajia arranged to herd the sheep, which was even more brisk.

He Tiantian was the same as Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru in his previous life, he worked hard, pulling weeds and catching insects, his face and neck were scratched by corn leaves, and his hands were all red wounds, which were so hot and painful that they were even more painful when they were wet.

Compared with those jobs, the work of herding sheep is very leisurely. As long as the sheep are driven to the grassy place halfway up the mountain, you can be lazy and rest, and before you come back in the afternoon, you can cut another bundle of grass, enough for the sheep to eat at night.

"Thank you, Director Zhao, I know you're doing it for my good. He Tiantian happily agreed, and said, "I will work hard, and I will never embarrass you and Secretary Qi." ”

This life is in He Tiantian's mind, and he can often take the snake king to the cave in the future. The snake king is in a good mood, and her benefits are also great!

Zhao Dajia was also very happy to see He Tiantian so shrewd, she liked to talk to smart people. Zhao Dajia said the other members of the animal husbandry team, so that He Tiantian knew it, sent He Tiantian here, and said: "Uncle Qi, Sister Liu, this is the new educated youth He Tiantian, who is responsible for raising sheep." She's new here, so if there's anything wrong with her, you can mention it. ”

"Needless to say, I must take her to work. Aunt Liu smiled heartily and looked He Tiantian up and down. Hearing Zhao Dajia's introduction to He Tiantian, knowing that He Tiantian was only fifteen years old this year, he sighed for a while. She didn't understand why, she was only fifteen years old and left her home and parents in the city and came to the country, which was also a pitiful thing.

"That's okay, Tiantian, you can work with Aunt Liu, if you don't understand, just tell Aunt Liu. Zhao Dajiao said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Director Zhao walked slowly. He Tiantian smiled and was very polite. They sent her in person, and explained so much to her on the way, also out of kindness, and she appreciated it in her heart.

In the animal husbandry team, the seventy-year-old man Qi is in charge of the four cows, not responsible for cleaning the cowshed, but has to stay here at night and watch the livestock; and Aunt Liu, who is in her forties, is in charge of a few pigs, threshing pigweed, cleaning the pigsty and the cowshed and sheepfold, and doing more during the day, so that she can go home at night without her looking at the livestock. Originally, these little goats were also raised by Aunt Liu, but now that someone is assigned to help, she will save a lot of trouble, so she is naturally very happy.

"Sweet girl, those sheep are still young, and they will run around when they are released, so they can't go out to herd sheep. Aunt Liu said, "You and I clean up this place, you watch here, I'll go hunt pigweed, okay?"

He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, auntie, you can arrange it." ”

Old man Qi had already driven four cows and went out in a leisurely manner, regardless of hygiene.

He Tiantian and Aunt Liu cleaned up together. Originally, Aunt Liu would think that He Tiantian was from the city, and she would dislike the dirtiness here and be unwilling to work. Unexpectedly, after He Tiantian took out a towel to cover his face and tied it to the back of his head, he picked up a shovel and began to shovel cow dung on the ground, which was very quick.

A diligent child who is pleasing everywhere. With He Tiantian, Aunt Liu will have a lot less work in the future.

After a while, the cowshed, pigsty, and sheepfold were cleaned, cleaned with clean water, and the manure was carried to the manure pit not far from outside. This dung pit is a treasure. In the absence of chemical fertilizers, without this, the fertility of the land will not come up, and the grain yield will be very low.

The eldest aunt looked up at the sun, she used to have to take two hours to complete this, but now with He Tiantian's help, it will be completed in an hour. I'll go out and mow the grass later, and the task will be completed today, and there will be a lot of time to rest.

Aunt Liu "purred" a few times, drank the water of the enamel jar, and then smiled: "Sweet girl, I'll mow the grass, you can't be stolen by someone while watching here." ”

"Okay, auntie, you go to mow the grass in the morning, and I'll go in the afternoon. My aunt loves me, but I can't be tired of my aunt. He Tiantian said crisply, this Aunt Liu is not bad, except for liking to talk about people's rights and wrongs, she has no bad intentions. It's also interesting for her to talk about right and wrong, and she says that she doesn't like it. Now that He Tiantian is so diligent and in her eyes, this Aunt Liu will definitely praise He Tiantian outside.

When Aunt Liu heard this, she was even more happy, her big dark face smiled like a flower, and she said again and again: "Okay, you are really sensible, just do what you say!"

Aunt Liu carried a super large basket on her back, hummed a little tune, and went to the back mountain to cut pigweed.

He Tiantian was idle and bored alone, so he cleaned up the area around the livestock team. A little thirsty, I went to Old Man Qi's makeshift kitchen to pour some water.

Oh my god, it's on and off the stove, it's dark, dirty, and it smells weird.

He Tiantian couldn't stand such a place, so she brushed the pots and pans cleanly. Forget it in the morning, let's go home and drink water later. When she came out today, she forgot the military kettle that her mother prepared for her, and she filled it with water in the afternoon, so she must bring it.

When He Tiantian finished doing this, Aunt Liu came back with a big basket full of grass. Old man Qi also drove back with four cows slowly.

After coming back, Aunt Liu saw that this place was much cooler than before, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qi, the sweet girl is really diligent, the front and back of this house are cleaned, and the inside of your pot house is finally clean." ”

Old man Qi is almost seventy years old, and his body is very tough, but he is missing a hand. Although you can live on your own, you are not as flexible as your two hands. He Tiantian was very cold to him in the morning, but when he saw He Tiantian helping him clean the pot house, he rarely squeezed a smile and said, "Thank you." ”

He Tiantian shook his head and said, "You're welcome, Grandpa Qi, I'm sitting here and sitting, so I'll brush it casually." ”

Aunt Liu looked at the time and was going home to cook for lunch. It's hot now, and I can sleep at noon, but I don't want to stay here.

"Uncle Qi, let's go back first, and come back in the afternoon. Aunt Liu put the grass in the house and took He Tiantian back to the village.

On the way, Aunt Liu said as she walked, "Sweet girl, Uncle Qi has a cold temperament, but he is a very good person." You help him with the housework, and he won't treat you badly. ”

"Aunt Liu, in fact, I just did it casually, and I didn't think about returning. He Tiantian said, in fact, He Tiantian was secretly happy in his heart, this old man Qi is not an ordinary person, he is an old Red Army, he used to be a regiment commander, and he also participated in the War to Resist Mi and Aid Korea. It's just that he lost an arm on the battlefield, and he didn't want to cause trouble to the country, so he insisted on returning to his hometown.

Don't look at him as a sloppy old man now, but the relationship behind the family is not sloppy, and every month he will give Qi Lao Fa money, rice, noodles, and releases from the commune's exclusive account, without using tickets.
