The house where Lu Li lived was originally a family surnamed Shang, a very warm and kind family, there were two boys in the family, one thirteen and the other nine, who did not go to school, and helped the family do some work within their ability all day long. Most of the houses provided by the educated youth point are of the same style, with two entrances inside and outside, a stove outside, a kang in the house, put the luggage you carry, and spread the bedding, which is considered to be the place.

"Why are we two brothers? Doesn't it mean that there are hundreds of educated youths here? Xu Yunjian and Lu Li saw the kang for the first time, took off their shoes and went to the kang, and looked out through the glass, "Why didn't anyone come to greet us?" ”

"You...... Thought you ...... Who is it? Still...... Greeting you? ”

"No, Xiaoxiao, I've heard people say that every time a new educated youth comes, others will come to welcome him." When Xu Yunjian first arrived in Guidi, he felt fresh when he saw everything, and he opened the lid of the pot on the vat to see, there was water inside, and there was a cut half gourd floating on the water surface, "Xiaoxiao, what is this?" ”

"Water...... Scoop, right? Luley didn't know either, but he could guess, and besides, such things were mentioned in Haoran's "Cotai Boulevard", so he guessed accurately, "How fun?" What is this made of? He took a scoop of water and scooped it up, "Hey, it's small, the water is cold, it's so pleasant to drink!" Where does this water come from? ”

Luli ignored him, put on his shoes, and went into the courtyard, and across the fence wall one man high, it was the house of the landlord, the lady of the merchants, and the woman was sitting on the ground, with two corn cobs in her hands, rubbing them against each other, and the corn kernels were twisted off one by one, and fell under her feet; The sky is full of flies flying - corn is rich in starch, a bit of sweetness, and it is the love of flies! It was the first time he had seen a person doing farm work, and his eyes widened with curiosity.

"It's a new educated youth, right?" Aunt Shang noticed the strange young man, "What's your surname?" ”

"Lu, Lu...... Loululi. ”

"Poor life, why are you still stammering?" Aunt Shang put down the corn, stood in front of the fence wall, and looked at him closely, "Well, it's a pretty beautiful offspring, come here, help the eldest lady work, and eat at the eldest lady's house at night." ”

"Oh." I don't know why, Lu Li was sincerely full of affection for this woman who spoke not politely at all, and went around the courtyard gate, entered the courtyard of the other party, and squatted in front of her, "...... like this"

Luli looked at it for a while, and soon learned it, and was about to operate it, when suddenly there was an animal next to him, he turned his head to look, ah, a soft scream, I don't know what this thing is, fat body, long neck, quack, see him get up, this animal stretched its neck, pecked on his calf, "Oops! ”

Luli screamed! It hurts! He suddenly knew that it was a goose! The countryside has this thing to see the home nursing home, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, the calf twisted by its giant beak hurts, squatting down and rubbing it vigorously, and then looking at Aunt Shang, she has already smiled, "Get out, get out!" She coaxed the goose away, and said to Luli with a smile: "It's okay, the first time you come, you have to cut it." ”

The big goose croaked a few times, shaking his clumsy steps and walking away, Lu Li squatted down next to Aunt Shang again, took two corns, pushed them with the roots of his palms, and rubbed each other, but everything is easier said than done, and after less than ten minutes, he felt a slight soreness in his arm, which made him feel annoyed: You waste! Everyone can do it with a woman, why can't you?

Lin Yanxiu's call came from outside the door, and Xu Yunjian jumped out and said a few words to him, "Xiaoxiao, go swimming?" ”

Luli is seventeen years old, and he can't swim! He still dares to try other things, only swimming, every time he goes into the water, he is like a duck made of lead, when he sinks to the end and finishes! He was also very distressed, but he couldn't think about it, so he had to forget it, "You guys...... Go...... Right? ”

Xu Yunjian knew that he couldn't swim, and he was not reluctant, so he waved with his companions and roared away.

Aunt Shang is busy with her own business, while watching his work, this child is quite obedient, and quite willing to work, the first day he came here to see a lot of young people, itself is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the village is next to the river, these young men and girls from the city, none of them are not in the fun enough, after enough trouble before starting to work, this does not have to consider what their work status is? This kid is good, solid enough! "Tired, aren't you? When you're tired, take a break. ”

"No...... Tired. Luli raised his arm, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and replied with force.

Aunt Shang didn't say more, as if she was deliberately honing him, lowered her head and got busy.

Lu Li regretted a little in his heart, people said that if you want to take a break, you can take a break, stupid thing! But this also aroused the stubbornness in his heart, isn't it just to do some work? Can you still be exhausted? I'll do it as long as you can!

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer corn cobs and more and more corn kernels put together, Lu Li is really a little unbearable, but fortunately, Aunt Shang may not be easy, and finally threw down a half-twisted one and stood up, "Okay, my old waist is tired!" That's all for now, right? ”

Lu Liru was pardoned, and he had been squatting on his legs for too long, and he had completely lost his feelings! One didn't stand firm, and fell into the corn pile with a bang, causing Aunt Shang to giggle!

"You...... You laugh...... What? Luli rolled over and looked at her with a wry smile.

"You're a good little offspring, well, you're good, you're good! Wash your hands after a while, and the eldest lady will give you a vegetarian zygote to eat. ”

Luli turned back to his small courtyard, took a ladle of water, drank it bitterly, and saw that there was not much water in the tank, and looked in the house, but there was no running water pipe, where did the water come from? I went out and asked Aunt Shang through the fence, and the latter laughed, "San'er? Little San'er? Take your young brother to fetch water! ”

A little boy from the merchant ran out with a grin, took out two buckets and a flat pole from behind the door, and led Lu Li out of the door, more than a hundred meters away, there was a well—there were as many as three or five such wells in the village, which was the closest to the Zhiqing point where they were.

Luli looked inside, it was so deep that the water could not be seen from the wellhead; There is a reel in the well, and a tin bucket is tied to the hemp rope, hanging by the well, Xiao San'er skillfully picks up the bucket and throws it inward, and the reel turns rapidly, only to hear a pop, and the bucket is in the end.

Xiao San'er skillfully pulled the rope, his arm vibrate, and he put it down again, and he could know from the weight that the water had been filled, and he began to turn the shaker, and waited until the bucket was lifted up, and before he could say it, Lu Li also knew, picked up the bucket, and poured it into his bucket, and if it was several times, the two iron buckets were filled.

"Come, I'll teach you Ni." Xiao San'er hung the iron bucket with the iron hooks at both ends of the flat burden, Lu Li obediently stood in the middle, his waist was up, he stood up, he didn't feel anything when he looked at it, and when he got on the body, he knew that there was no one to do in the countryside!

The bucket was not actually very heavy, but when he first arrived, he didn't know how to use his strength at all, and only thought about using his arms to reduce the strength on his shoulders, but he didn't know that the more difficult it was, the more strening it was, and in this case, the weight was not easy to even, and he staggered when he walked, and even he noticed the abnormality himself, and when he got home, the two buckets of water were almost spilled.

Xiao San'er giggled, turned his head to talk to his mother, and after a while, the laughter of the mother and son came clearly, Lu Li knew that they were laughing at themselves, and he was so ashamed that he was helpless, and secretly made up his mind that he must learn the farm work in these fields in the shortest possible time!

************************************************

Xu Yunjian came back wet all over, the water quality of the Luan River is excellent, and the flow is abundant, compared to the Haihe River in Tian (Tianjin), it is more than a notch higher, and more importantly, because it has never been polluted, the water is very, very clean, even if you drink it like this, you don't have to worry about stomach trouble. "Tiny? You didn't go with me, it's too comfortable. Little? What about Tiny? ”

Lu Li was holding a large coarse porcelain plate, with three vegetarian zygotes inside, the outside was stick noodles, and the inside was koji hemp cabbage, which was really a veritable 'vegetarian zygote', not even a little oily, but the hungry were easy to eat, or let him eat unstoppable, on the low table next to him, was a big bowl, inside was spinach and soybean stick noodle porridge. Hearing Xu Yunjian's call, Lu Li stood up and beckoned to his companions, "Woo...... This! ”

"Eat? Give me some, I'm starving. Xu Yunjian shouted hungry when he entered the hospital, shouting, "Oops, it hurts me to death!" What the hell is this? ”

Luli laughed and fell backwards! That goose is really powerful, as long as there is a living person, it will rush over without hesitation, and exert a unique mouth kung fu on the legs of the person who comes, but the goose does not look big, but the strength is not small, and Xu Yunjian screamed, until the child of Shang Da Niang's family came over and drove the goose away, it was okay.

"Wait, I'll give you ......"

"Stay!" Aunt Shang straightened up from the pot table, "Have you worked?" Didn't do it? Hungry! ”

The two little ones were dumbfounded, and Lu Li was also a little stupid, "Big big big ...... Mother......"

"Big? Want to eat without working? You Tian(Tianjin) Wei have such rules, but I don't have one! If you want to eat, make it yourself! Mrs. Shang pointed to the water tank with her hand, "Go, fill the water tank, and then eat." ”

How can Xu Yunjian carry water? He didn't even know where the well was. Pitifully looked at Luli, "Little ......? ”

Lu Li felt helpless, he knew that Aunt Shang's words were not wrong, and he felt sorry for his companion, so he gave him a look, "Come on?" "Pick up the bucket and the pole and go out into the twilight.

Took Xu Yunjian to the well platform to fetch water, and helped him pick it to the door, let him pick the rest of the way, as soon as he entered the door, he heard Aunt Shang's scolding, she seemed to have guessed this kind of cheating behavior, "Lack of virtue ghost!" Is he your dad or your son? Just spoil him so much? Sooner or later, there will be a day when you regret it! ”

Lu Li smiled innocently, poured water into the tank, and pulled Xu Yunjian, "Auntie...... This...... It's Xu Yunjian, I'm ...... I'm me, my buddy, will you give it to him? ”

"Learn from Xiao Lu, don't think about playing all day long, do you think this is in your house? Parents coax you in the days of the month? Dine! ”

"Oh." Xu Yunjian sat down in one step, picked up the Suzyzi that Lu Li hadn't finished eating, and took a big bite on it.

After dinner, Lu Li paced to Aunt Shang's side, and the woman had been busy with the zygote until the four little ones had finished eating, and she sat down to eat, "Auntie, big ...... What about uncle? ”

"It's not you intellectual youths who are in trouble? Fighting at sky-high prices, our mouth followed us to the town. ”

"That fight, it seems to be fierce?"

"Not like that." The boy named Xiao San'er interjected, "The whole village has been dispatched, and my grandfather will personally lead the ,......" Aunt Shang raised her hand to give her son a neck slip, "Don't say it." She said, "Anyway, it's quite powerful, and the educated youths have also moved, and more than 200 people have been injured." ”

"So, why?"

"Chickens. Someone stole chickens to eat, and it was done by educated youths. Mrs. Shang waved her hand concisely, "Okay, go to bed early, you will have to go to the ground tomorrow." ”
