Bai Lingyan saw that Wu Baiqiang disagreed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Baiqiang, you also know the situation of the Xiaojun family, my parents are old, and it is not easy to plant some land, so you can help out, that is, two or three hours." Besides, it's time for lunch, and you and your aunt are tired and take a break in the morning, so we'll finish watering while we're free, so we don't delay you pouring anything else in the afternoon. ”

Wu Baiqiang hesitantly glanced at his daughter-in-law Sun Huirong, Sun Huirong looked at Bai Lingyan very smart, her attitude was very sincere, and she said with a smile, "Baiqiang, look at what I do, is it easy for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to stay in the field day and night for the service army for many years." Xiaojun's daughter-in-law is worthy of being a college student, and her speech is very popular, so she rushes these, even if our family's land is not watered an inch and all the crops die of drought, we must let Xiaojun and Sister Bai finish watering the land. ”

Bai Lingyan and Wu Xiaojun said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle and aunt!" Thank you, uncle and aunt! ”

When Wu Pingshun came to the middle of the ground, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan had already pulled the water belt to the far end of the ground. He stood aside and silently watched Bai Lingyan sweating profusely, her hair sticking to her forehead, her skirt splashed with water and mud, and her bare feet and hands holding the belt, naturally releasing water along the ridge of the ground, without the slightest appearance of a college student. It is rare for a female student from other places to be able to do this, and I can't help but feel a burst of secret joy and distress in my heart. Gently stepped forward and said, "Lingyan, it's very tiring to hold the mouth of the hose to release water, let's rest, I'll come." ”

Bai Lingyan said with a smile, "Uncle, don't be tired." Our family is all mountainous, and the water is the most scarce, and we all rely on the weather for food, and we can't water it at all in case of drought, so we can only leave it alone. I've heard of watering the ground like this before, but I've never seen it, it's really more convenient, and now it seems that farming here is much easier. ”

Wu Xiaojun walked over with an iron shovel in his hand, pointed to the seedlings who were cheering up and said happily, "Lingyan, you see how obvious the effect is, the seedlings have straightened up where the water has passed, if it can rain again, the crops all over the land will be saved." ”

Bai Lingyan looked at the seedlings that began to rejuvenate again, and said with a sense of accomplishment, "Of course, don't be lazy and slippery, hurry up and prepare the ditch." ”

At this moment, Zhu Chunyan and Wu Xiaosen came over with their son Long Long. Long Long was in his teens, very naughty, running and shouting, "Grandpa, uncle!" Grandpa, uncle! He threw himself on Wu Pingshun and hugged his neck, almost pushing Wu Pingshun to the ground.

Wu Xiaosen stopped Long Long and said, "Long Long, don't be naughty, grandpa is working." Only then did Long Long let go of his hand and grimaced at a few people.

Zhu Chunyan saw that Bai Lingyan's whole body did not look like a human figure, and complained about Wu Xiaojundao, "Serve the army, how can you be unrighteous and bully Lingyan, look at Lingyan tired." Lingyan, put it down, put it down! ”

Bai Lingyan said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I used to do farm work at home, it's okay, I'm not tired, I'm not tired." ”

Zhu Chunyan insisted, "If you are not tired, you can't do it, let it go, let others see it and think we are bullying you!" ”

Bai Lingyan put down the hose in her hand, washed her face at the water outlet, smiled at Zhu Chunyan, and followed her to the road.

Zhu Chunyan said appreciatively, "Lingyan, sister-in-law really admires you, I watched you watering the ground just now, and the first thing I felt was that you were an authentic country girl, not a talented and beautiful female college student at all, both distressed and ashamed." I'm not afraid of your jokes, the first time Xiaosen and I cut wheat here, it was less than ten minutes, and my whole body was so hot that I ran away without caring about anything. ”

Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you're right, I'm a village girl myself, and doing this kind of work is nothing compared to our family." You grew up in the city, you haven't been in contact with it, and it's reasonable that you can't do it, and no one says about you. ”

Zhu Chunyan said, "Yes, everyone understands very well. You've been here for seven or eight days, and I don't know what you're thinking, so it's not a problem to continue like this! The mother of the child is worried, I don't know the pain of raising a child if I don't raise a child, the dragon has grown so big, if I don't see it for three days, I will be very uncomfortable. You're here, I don't know what kind of uncle and aunt will be in a hurry over there. My sister-in-law advises you to always take into account their feelings. ”

Bai Lingyan said lazily, "Uncle, aunt and everyone are very good to me, they care about me very much, I am very quiet and down-to-earth, I don't think about these and don't want to think about them, let's talk about it after a while!" ”

Zhu Chunyan said distressedly, "Sister-in-law understands your thoughts, why don't you want you to take root here, I also have a companion." The day before yesterday, I saw a few students who graduated this year, they have already reported to the county personnel bureau, and Xiaojun can't keep the dispatch card in his pocket all the time, if it is too late, the arrangement unit will be affected, and Xiaosen and I will come back to sue you about this. Of course, you don't have to have any psychological burden when you report to the army, and when you think about it one day, I will see the dean again, and I will say that your employment agreement was lost by the school, and if you make another copy, there will be a chance to reassign you. ”

Bai Lingyan said faintly, "Thank you, sister-in-law, let me think about it again." ”

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan returned home after watering, just in time for the weather forecast to be broadcast on the small radio, Bai Lingyan listened quietly with her ears up, and said happily, "Uncle, aunt, Xiaojun, it's finally going to rain, and there is no need to water the ground anymore." ”

Wu Xiaojun said disappreciatively, "It's just nonsense, the sky is clear, where does the rain come from." ”

Bai Lingyan said firmly, "The provincial station has just finished the forecast, saying that we will have heavy rain here tonight, which is very accurate, and it will definitely fall." I felt uncomfortably stuffy for the past two days, which was a precursor to the onset of heavy rain. ”

Wu Pingshun smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "Lingyan is right, I also heard it, it's going to rain." The thatch on the east house has not been repaired for several years, and when it rains, there are several leaks into the house, and we will cover the roof with plastic sheeting later. ”

Wu Xiaojun said, "Okay. ”

The three of them rested for a while, Wu Ping obediently took out a large piece of plastic sheeting from the hall, and Wu Xiaojun brought a long palladium to erect under the eaves, and then tried to climb up.

Bai Lingyan was holding on to the palladium bed below, looking up with a worried face as Wu Xiaojun climbed to the roof, before she and Wu Pingshun pulled apart the plastic sheet, and handed it to Wu Xiaojun with a long wooden stick.

Wu Xiaojun stretched out his hand to grab it, but the movement was a little bigger, and suddenly he felt that the darkness in front of him rolled down from above, but fortunately it was transferred to the wheat straw pile below. Although he didn't fall, he scared several people into a cold sweat. Bai Lingyan helped Wu Xiaojun up in fright, and asked with concern, "Did you fall, did it hurt?" ”

Wu Xiaojun stood up, flicked the withered grass on his body, and said with an embarrassed wry smile, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Bai Lingyan said with relief, "It's good that you didn't fall, you are steady, I'll come!" ”

Wu Xiaojun jumped up in fright, "No, no, don't look for trouble, I can't afford to fall down." ”

Wu Pingshun and Xiaojun Niang also resolutely refused to let her go.

Bai Lingyan insisted, "Uncle can't let him go up at such an age, and he can't let the rain rain drown down the house and leave the livestock without a place to stay." Don't say anything, just don't worry, I'll cover it up up. Before the words fell, he took a rope and tied the corner of the plastic sheet very neatly, tied it to his waist, and climbed up very lightly along the horizontal wood of the palladium.

This time, Xiao Junniang pinched a handful of sweat, and kept instructing, "Girl, be careful!" Be careful, girl! If you don't do it, come down! ”

Bai Lingyan sat on the roof very calmly, without any fear, and smiled faintly downward, "Xiaojun, hand me the bamboo pole." ”

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly picked up the bamboo pole, stood on the horizontal wood above the palladium, carefully handed one end of the bamboo pole to her, she took it easily, and then gently picked up the plastic sheet, covered the entire roof, looked almost over, and said, "Xiaojun, give me two long ropes, and move a few bricks to fix the plastic sheet, so as not to be blown by the wind and lifted again." ”

Wu Pingshun and Xiao Junniang watched with fear as Bai Lingyan sat on the roof, covering the house with plastic sheeting, and made a qiē board and eye, handy. The old couple whispered, "Is Lingyan a girl, she is stronger than ordinary boys, and none of our daughters-in-law is like her."

, even Xiaoyun is not as big as her. ”

Xiao Junniang said uneasily, "The first two times I saw her quietly, it wasn't like now. You said that her mother is mentally abnormal, is it genetic, and her spirit is stimulated and controlled, and she can't help but go crazy. ”

Wu Pingshun said worriedly, "Oh, it's hard to say, tell her to come down quickly, don't go crazy for a while, and it will be a big trouble to fall down." ”

Xiao Junniang hurriedly shouted, "Girl, don't be so careful, just cover it, come down quickly!" ”

Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it'll be fine right away." He carefully fixed the rope with a bamboo pole, and then stood up. This frightened the three people below, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and their six eyes stared at Bai Lingyan tightly.

Bai Lingyan gently tried to turn around, moved a few steps forward, grabbed the branch of the big elm tree at the top of the house, jumped onto the branch, and quickly descended down the trunk to the ground.

Xiao Junniang walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and said in shock, "Girl, you are too bold, how can you stand up and turn around on such a narrow roof, you will scare me to death." ”

Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Auntie, I know in my heart, and it will be fine." In the past, my house had a house that often leaked rain, so I went up to cover a piece of linoleum and build a woven bag or something. Besides, I'm a long-distance runner in school, and this little job can't bother me, Xiaojun, do you say? Said to Wu Xiaojun Nunu's mouth.

Wu Xiaojun was both worried about Bai Lingyan and extremely distressed, and said very strictly, "You think it's nothing, but I'm scared enough, and I'm not allowed to be like a country girl in the future." Don't say anything, wash your face and take a breath and drink a glass of water. ”

Bai Lingyan whispered proudly in Wu Xiaojun's ear, "How about it, it's better than you!" ”

Wu Xiaojun said softly, "You are doing nonsense!" ”
