Zhang Mingjie got up early in the morning and went to the ditch opposite the orchard with a bucket, carried the water to the orchard, and then watered the fruit seedlings that were severely drought, hoping to survive the past few days.

Although Zhang Mingjie was born in the countryside, he has never done such physical work since Cong was in middle school, and his shoulders with fine skin and tender flesh have not been borne by two rounds, and he is so red and swollen that he can no longer touch the flat shoulder.

Zhang Mingjie threw down the empty bucket and sat on the ground to sulk at himself, why is he so useless, he can't get the money to repair the canal, and he can't do it if he doesn't carry water, is this the day to kill me?

The two loads of water just picked up, only a few fruit seedlings were watered, and most of the fruit seedlings were still dying, Zhang Mingjie was not a person who would only complain about the sky, sat for a while, and then carried the empty bucket to the opposite ditch, since the shoulders can not be carried, then use their hands, in short, they can't sit still.

No matter how powerful the tiger is, it is also the end of the strong crossbow, and the arrogance will not be able to last for a few days, as long as it survives these few days, the problem of water shortage can be temporarily solved, so no matter what, even if you are tired and scattered, you can't let the fruit seedlings die in these last few sunny days.

Yu Hongyun, the village head, and Li Hanwen, the village party secretary, chatted while walking leisurely from everywhere, and happened to see Zhang Mingjie struggling to carry half a bucket of water, change hands after walking a few steps, and stop to rest after a few steps.

Yu Hongyun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mingjie, are you carrying water to water the fruit seedlings, look at you tired, hurry, help me lift it." ”

Zhang Mingjie saw that it was Yu Hongyun, the village head, and he was not polite, so he handed the bucket to Yu Hongyun and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Yu, I really can't lift it." ”

Li Hanwen pinched the orchid and pointed at the bucket and said, "Mingjie, why don't you pick, how slow is it to lift like this?" ”

Zhang Mingjie sighed and said: "Originally, I used to pick it, but my shoulder is not angry, and now I can't touch it." ”

Li Hanwen hurriedly stepped forward, tore open Zhang Mingjie's clothes with his orchid finger and saw that they were already red and swollen, and said in a sharp voice: "Ouch, I really admire you, I usually see your hippie smiling face, hanging your second hand, I didn't expect to be so desperate to get serious, just with your drive, it is difficult to get done." ”

Zhang Mingjie sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

Yu Hongyun said: "By the way, Mingjie, what did Chen Laosan say about the expansion of your orchard?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "He doesn't agree. ”

Yu Hongyun asked, "He didn't mention any excessive conditions?" ”

Zhang Mingjie shook his head and said, "No, just two words, no." ”

Li Hanwen said: "Hehe, how can this Chen Laosan be like this, and he is not using his land for nothing." ”

Yu Hongyun said: "Li Zhishu, you don't understand the situation, this is not a matter of using his land in vain, but Mingjie's father and Chen Laosan have old grievances, if you can't solve this old grievance, you have to contract his land, it's tricky." ”

Li Hanwen twisted his waist and waved his orchid finger and said, "Oh, so that's the case, since his land is not good, then don't use his land, just change a piece of land?" ”

Yu Hongyun said: "This is a way. ”

Zhang Mingjie pointed to the land in front of him and said: "I have also thought about this problem, but you see, Chen Laosan's land is the most suitable, if you don't use his family's land, then there will be a long distance between them, and it will not be easy to manage in the future." ”

Li Hanwen tapped Zhang Mingjie with an orchid finger and said, "Mingjie didn't say you, why are you just a tendon?" Although it is separated, what does it matter, what you need now is to get a loan, as for Chen Laosan's land, it will be solved slowly, besides, his family's land is not very wide, and the distance between them is not far. ”

Yu Hongyun said: "Mingjie, Li Zhishu is right, don't worry about Chen Laosan, first contract the land next to it, and then borrow the money." ”

Zhang Mingjie frowned again when he heard this, and Li Hanwen said in a sharp voice: "Mingjie, you won't sue me, you can't take that piece of land, right?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "It's true, most of that land belongs to the Wang family, I'm afraid Wang Jincai doesn't agree." ”

Li Hanwen shook his head and said, "Hehe, Mingjie, I really don't know how your family mixes." ”

Zhang Mingjie sighed and said, "This is all thanks to my father." ”

The three of them walked while talking, and soon arrived in the orchard, Zhang Mingjie took the bucket from Yu Hongyun's hand and began to water the fruit seedlings, because there was not much water, so each fruit seedling could only get a small amount of water.

Yu Hongyun said: "Mingjie, you just pour this little water, can it be useful?" You see, as soon as you pour it, it dries out immediately. ”

Zhang Mingjie said with a sad face: "Then there is no way, there are too many fruit seedlings that need to be watered, and there is too little water to get them, so I can only give them a little comfort." ”

Yu Hongyun said: "Alas, but fortunately, this autumn tiger is about to pass, and the problem will be solved when it rains." ”

Zhang Mingjie poured the water in the bucket, then threw the empty bucket aside, and said, "By the way, are you going to Wang's house to eat at the bar?" ”

Yu Hongyun said: "Yes, are you going?" ”

Zhang Mingjie frowned and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, it's not appropriate to go or not." ”

Li Hanwen said sharply: "Mingjie, didn't I say you, didn't you want to contract his family's land, today is an opportunity to ease relations, if you don't go, it will be even more difficult to talk in the future." ”

Zhang Mingjie shook his head and said: "It's useless, you don't know, two days ago, Wang Jincai hit my father on a self-car, and the two of them complained a lot about this matter, even if I go today, I'm afraid things won't be easy to do." ”

Li Hanwen said: "No, he hit your father, and it wasn't your father who hit him, why does he still have a grudge?" ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "Alas, this matter is a long story, anyway, it is very troublesome. ”

Yu Hongyun said: "It's okay if you think about it, it's not too early now, I and Li Zhishu will go first, if you also go, let's have a good chat together then." ”

Zhang Mingjie said: "Okay, you guys go first." ”

Zhang Mingjie saw that the two were gone, and walked quickly towards the ravine with an empty bucket.

There was a rumbling salute in the direction of Wang Jincai's house, usually at this time there are relatives arriving, and only the closest relatives will set off firecrackers and salutes.

Immediately afterwards, there was a lame singing voice in the inferior stereo, which was the band invited by his relatives to start singing, which was no surprise to Zhang Mingjie, as if he hadn't heard it, silently carrying water.

Zhang Mingjie came to the orchard with water, and saw Bai Xue in a white dress waiting for her there, with her snow-white skin, from a distance, it really looked like a snowman made of snow, and the whole person felt cool.

Before Zhang Mingjie walked to the place, Bai Xue greeted him and reached out to help Zhang Mingjie carry the bucket, Zhang Mingjie smiled: "Forget it, with your little arms and legs, I can't afford to be responsible for breaking it." ”

Bai Xue said angrily: "What, don't you look down on people?" Do you think I'm made of glass? ”

Zhang Mingjie said with a hippie smile: "No, no, how can I look down on you, I mean you weren't born to do this, this kind of work can only be done by a rough person like me." ”

Bai Xue couldn't help laughing and said, "You are still a rough person, why are your shoulders broken?" ”
