It turns out that the pigsty looks like this.

A large bungalow made of bricks with black walls and dirty water on the ground. Small windows are left on all sides to let in the air.

From Aunt Wu's house to the pig farm, there were several acres of fields apart.

It's May, the sun is hot, Tian Guo has already been prepared, and halfway through, he put a square scarf brought from home on his head.

The further you go to the pigsty, the stronger the smell in the air. The sour smell of pig feed and pig feces came to my face, and I could barely open my eyes.

"It stinks!" Everyone covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

But he couldn't cover his eyes, and he choked on tears.

"Aunt Wu, do you have any masks at home? It's too choking here, cough cough, can't breathe" Since I was a child, where can Zhang Yang withstand this, originally today's boys were going to go to the cornfield and wheat field to fertilize, Uncle Wu saw that Zhang Yang was too thin, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to take a shovel, and he was afraid that his small waist would be flashed, so he was temporarily lined up in the women's labor team.

Now Zhang Yang regrets it, he knew that the pigsty environment was so bad, so he might as well go to the cornfield to carry a hoe.

"Wearing a mask is not good to breathe, and the ears are strangled, we rural people don't like to wear that when we work," Aunt Wu was obviously a little helpless, she couldn't imagine that Zhang Yang's half-sized son had more things to do than a group of big girls, looking at his delicate appearance, it is estimated that he has not even brushed the bowl once at home, right?

"It stinks now, but I'll get used to it later." Aunt Wu cheered up everyone who was hesitant.

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes and complained to Tian Guo, who was covering his mouth and nose with the corner of his scarf: "It's more stinky than stinky tofu, and it's disgusting." By the way, did you bring a paper with you? ”

"What are you doing?"

"Give me one, preferably a longer one."

Tian Guohao didn't understand what Zhang Yang meant, but he still tore a big piece and handed it to him.

"Thank you." After Zhang Yang took it, he spread out the curly tissue paper, put it on his nose, and took out the small hairpins about the same as toothpicks used by the two girls from his pocket, and pinned the hair through both sides of the tissue, and a simple mask made of paper was completed.

Aunt Wu snorted, pointed at him and smiled, "You little boy is quite clever." ”

Seeing that Aunt Wu was not disgusted, everyone began to follow Zhang Yang's example and start paper masks.

Tian Guo also made one, the toilet paper is more ventilated than cotton, but not strong, a few mouthfuls of hot air sprayed out, and the mask will be wet, but fortunately, it is stronger than nothing. Xu is a psychological effect, after wearing it, I really feel that the smell has been reduced.

"Publicity."

"Huh?"

"Can I ask you a question?" The mask covered his nose, and Tian Guo spoke with an urn.

"Say it." It's not smooth to be flamboyant.

"Why do you have a girl's hairpin in your pocket?" Tian Guo died of curiosity.

Zhang Yang's fair little face suddenly turned red, and his little lips pursed tightly, posing as if he didn't want to answer. Tian Guo shrugged, just talking to himself just now.

The pig farm is very dirty, and the sewage is flowing all over the ground, and Aunt Wu has prepared rain boots for everyone in advance, which are like camouflage uniforms worn during military training in various schools.

The inside and outside of the shoes are smelly, and Tian Guo can't help but worry about what to do if the previous one has beriberi after putting on the shoes?

After everyone put on their work clothes, Aunt Wu took everyone into the pig farm.

This morning's job was to clean the pigsty, and Aunt Wu divided the eleven people into three groups, each group cleaned four to five pigsty.

Because there was one less person in Tianguo's group, Aunt Wu treated them fairly, and only gave them three pig houses plus a small house for piglets in captivity at the back of the pig farm.

Before starting work, Aunt Wu carefully demonstrated the cleaning process, "In fact, it is not difficult, first clean up the feces, and then rinse and brush with water." Remember to clean carefully, and brush the ditches and eyes several times."

After the demonstration, Aunt Wu did not forget to tell everyone to save water, "If anyone wastes water is seen by me, don't blame me for not cooking for you at night." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and then took the tools and went to work.

When Huan Ran walked into the workshop office with the souvenirs brought back from the Northeast, the master Dong Yushan was sitting at the table answering the phone.

I don't know what the other party said, Dong Yushan frowned, and looked embarrassed: "Do you have to go, oh, I know the above regulations, but the regulations are that the dead are alive, seeing the sprint production in June, one less person in our workshop is one less labor, you see, Wang Gang went to Shanghai on a business trip this month, and Huanran just came back from Anshan Oh, Lao Wu, I'm not pretending to be difficult, it's really difficult, our workshop can only send three people, and one more person can't do it." ”

Dong Yushan was talking with his back to the door, and there were white flowers floating outside the window, and a white enamel jar was placed on his table, and inside was a small half cup of tea that had been cooled. Huan Ran glanced at it, touched the outer edge with his hand to test the temperature, and then took the thermos over, the water was just halfway through, Dong Yushan hung up the phone here, and his face was still depressed.

"What's the matter, master?"

"Hey-" Dong Yushan sighed before saying, "This month, our workshop has a rural labor task, just now the personnel department Lao Zhang called, let me have lunch before dinner, be sure to hand over the list of people, if you don't pay, you will be fined, you said they do this!" The next task is faster than fart, and when you come, you say, it's still urgent, so you can give a day to discuss. ”

"Don't be angry, the personnel department has always been like this, only thinking about yourself and not others." Huan Ran put the souvenirs brought from the Northeast on the table, "Master, this is for you or Shi's wife, there are hazelnut pine nuts and several kinds of mushrooms, don't forget to take it with you when you go home." ”

"Oooh!" Dong Yushan nodded blankly, in fact, he didn't listen to what Huan Ran said, and his mind was full of the dead rule that the personnel department must hand over the list of people at noon.

Huan Ran saw it and asked him: "Master, let's send a few people to the workshop this time." ”

"Now that the workload is heavy, I want to send two people, but the personnel department says that there are at least three people in each workshop, and that this is the minimum standard. If you can't do it, you will be punished, hey-" Dong Yushan knocked his knees with his hand, his brows furrowed.

"And how many people have you found now?" Huan Ran asked.

There are forty workers in a workshop, except for a small number of people who are sent on a business trip, and the rest have more than thirty people who arrive in shifts. In fact, it is not difficult to select three people who go to the countryside to work from more than 30 people, but the difficult thing is that everyone is reluctant to go, especially the old employees.

It's hard to go to the countryside, the food and housing are not as good as the city, and you can get it after an experience, who has nothing to do with getting old?

"Find two now, one is Xiao Zhang, who just came to the factory last year, and the other is Xiao Wang, who just came at the beginning of the year. Anyway, they are also apprentices now, and putting them in the workshop is to lay hands. ”

"Didn't the old employees volunteer?" Huan Ran asked with a smile.

Dong Yushan glared at him, meaning "You don't know it yourself?" "Looking up at my watch, I was only half an hour away from the delivery time of the list. Hey, this month's bonus won't be deducted because of this, right?

"Master, where are we going to work this time?"

"Daxing is not right, it's Mentougou."

Huan Ran was stunned: "Where is Mentougou?" ”

"Zaozhuang."

Huan Ran thought about it, and suddenly he was happy, "Master, send me this time, when will you leave?" ”

Dare to love an old sow is so big!

When Tian Guo dragged the broom to clean up the old sow's feces, the old sow saw that her eyes were raw, and she had slept well, so she suddenly stood up.

"Ahh Zhang Yang and the other girl screamed in fright.

Wild boars are aggressive, and old sows should have too.

Tian Guo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, holding a broom in his hand as a weapon.

The old sow didn't feel anything when she lay on the ground, but now she looks like a behemoth when she stands up. At least more than 500 pounds on one head.

There were still a few suckling piglets in the pigsty, and the sow stood up, dragged her big □□ to the ground, Zhang Yang was embarrassed, and her little face quickly twisted to one side, and her face was crimson. At this time, Aunt Wu came over and yelled at the standing old sow, the old sow's mouth moved, and she lay down again, and the little piglets hugged up, and her mouth seemed to be begging for milk from her mother.

"I'm scared." Aunt Wu smiled and patted Tian Guo on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't bite, it just looks at a few of you." ”

"Aunt Wu, pigs also know people?" Zhang Yang thinks it's amazing, and he always feels that this kind of thing is stupid and auraless. I knew that I would eat, and when two catties were enough, I would take it to the slaughterhouse. There must be a difference with dogs, cats, and birds.

"Of course they know people, I tell you, don't look at the stupid pigs, in fact, they are very smart, who are outsiders, who are acquaintances, it can be seen from afar." Aunt Wu picked up the broom to help wipe it together, "And oh, if it knows that the slaughterhouse will come tomorrow, it won't eat or drink for a day, hey, they're also afraid of death." ”

"You can't bear it, right?" Tian Guo asked.

Aunt Wu shook her head with a smile and did not speak. A pig is raised for at least more than a year before it is sold, how can it be without feelings?

The pig house is not difficult to clean up, but it is stinky, and it is impossible to breathe smoothly with an oxygen mask. When they walked out of the pig barn and returned to the village at noon, everyone only felt that they had half a life left.

But when she was about to arrive at the door, Aunt Wu suddenly said: "Everyone has worked hard this morning, I asked my daughter to boil a big pot of hot water, and everyone will wash their hair and body after a while before going to eat." ”

"Wow!" Everyone let out a cheer.

Zhang Yang tugged at Tian Guo's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Hey, how many pieces of soap did you bring?" ”

"Two pieces."

"Can you lend me a piece?" The voice is small.

Tian Guo nodded: "Yes, you wait here, I'll get it for you." He went back to the house and found an extra piece of soap from his school bag, ran out and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

"Publicity!" Tian Guo suddenly stopped him again, "Where's your soap?" Lost? ”

Zhang Yang looked at the sky and sighed, and said bitterly: "You just lose it for me." ”

"What do you mean when you lose it? Did they take your soap away? Tian Guo only learned yesterday that Zhang Yang lived with those steel mill workers. Presumably he bullied him a lot on weekdays.

Is it more than taking away? Hearing Tian Guo ask, Zhang Yang's strength to cry came again, and the little Yama took advantage of his absence to cut his soap into pieces, and when Zhang Yang came back from the field, he was dumbfounded. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and the helper was sitting on the kang and talking cool while playing cards.

There was still a week to go home, and Zhang Yang didn't know what to do.

"Zhang Yang, they just bullied you like this, you just put up with it?" In fact, what Tian Guo wants to say is that they bullied you, and you didn't even dare to let out a fart? But I'm afraid of hurting Zhang Yang, after all, Xiao Shou's soul is quite fragile.

Zhang Yang didn't speak, lowered his head and scratched the dust in the yard with his toes.

Seeing that he looked wronged, Tian Guo couldn't bear to say anything more, and waved his hand: "Okay, hurry up and go back to wash your face, don't go to the second team canteen for lunch, Aunt Wu will let you eat with us." ”
