Chapter 41
The wasteland outside Tianjia is about one acre, and because it is connected to the river, the weeds grow very vigorously, knee-high, and there is not even a gap in the dense bushes.
This scene made Jiang Wanbai suddenly remember that she was in elementary school.
At that time, the playground of their school did not have a rubber track, nor a concrete floor, but a yellow mud floor, and every time the summer vacation passed, the playground was overgrown with grass, and the first thing they did when school began was to pull weeds.
The grass was really not easy to pull, the hands were red, the tired legs were numb, and almost no student was willing to do it.
However, this thing has to be done, so only the responsibility can be put on the person, one for each class, and the class is divided into small groups, which group is pulled out first, you can go back to rest, if you don't pull it out, then you can only pull it out there slowly.
It's like that every year, and that experience is unbearable.
Unexpectedly, there was still a day to pull weeds, Jiang Wanbai looked around the wasteland, and began to tell uneasily, "Let's start pulling from here, but everyone must be careful, there may be rats and scorpions in this weed." ”
Jiang Wanbai said solemnly, but these people in the Tian family didn't care at all, the peasant people, who had never seen those, just pulled out a weed.
It's Ouyang Jun, standing there a little bit who doesn't know where to start, to be honest, he really hasn't done this.
Jiang Wanbai also found out that he was out of place here, and he was dressed like Alice who broke into here by mistake, but Alice entered the fairyland, and he fell to the ground from the sky.
After thinking for a while, she said to Zhang: "How does he work when he dresses like this, you go and get him the clothes to carry, the two of them are about the same size, they should be able to wear them." ”
Zhang's was a little embarrassed, "Mother, the clothes carried are all coarse cloth, I'm afraid of ......"
"It's okay, I'm just going to work in coarse clothes."
Zhang had no choice but to go back and get his clothes.
Ouyang Jun was a little unhappy when he heard that he was going to wear other people's clothes, "I don't wear them, why can't I work like this?" Usually, I practice very well. ”
"Then after you finish practicing, do you want to take a shower and change your clothes? Now, you are just such a dress, if you get dirty......" Jiang Wanbai's words were not finished, but the meaning was self-evident.
Ouyang Jun frowned, why is it so troublesome, he doesn't even have a dress.
Jiang Wanbai smiled, "You have everything at home, how about it, do you want to go home?" ”
Ouyang Jun glared at Jiang Wanbai, he went back now, didn't he hit the muzzle of the gun!
Jiang Wanbai was stared at, but she didn't care at all, "Don't worry, although it is the clothes that are carried, they are all very clean." ”
Ouyang Jun went to change clothes with Zhang's with a small face, he actually regretted it a little now, how could he come to the countryside yesterday, he didn't want to eat, he didn't wear it, he knew it earlier, he should have ......
What should I do, should I go home? But as soon as he thought of his father's whip, he was tense, what should it be, Ouyang Jun thought about it for a while and didn't think of it, so he could only change his clothes stupidly.
By the time Ouyang Jun came back, he had completely changed, with green cloth clothes and pants, black cloth shoes, and a typical peasant boy's dress, but this was the dress, but he had a unique temperament when he wore it.
If someone doesn't look like a prince when he wears a dragon robe, then he belongs to the kind of person who has taken off his gorgeous clothes and still stands out from the crowd.
Jiang Wanbai looked at Ouyang Jun like this, and praised it a little, saying that it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, so naturally there is a reason, you see, that kind of heritage and bearing are not something that ordinary people can raise.
"What are you still doing standing, come over and pull the weeds, otherwise it will be a waste of your clothes for so long." Praise is admiration, when it is time to let Ouyang Jun work, Jiang Wanbai is not soft at all.
Ouyang Jun is now like a donkey dung egg with a bright appearance, in the circle of politics, if there is no one to protect him, sooner or later he will get into trouble, Jiang Wanbai does not ask to be able to immediately turn this donkey dung egg into stuffed rice balls, but only to be able to determine his temperament a little, and it can be regarded as a favor for him.
Ouyang Jun glanced at the Tian family and found that they were all squatting there and slowly pulling the weeds, he was a little disdainful, like them doing this, when will this grass be pulled out, it is time for them to see how powerful he is.
Just like a proud little rooster, Ouyang Jun came to the edge of the grass with a pout, bent down a little, and began to pull the grass left and right.
According to his imagination, he should be like the autumn wind, and everywhere he passes, all the weeds are swept away like fallen leaves, so that he can show his ability.
But as soon as he got started, he was dumbfounded.
Is the thing in his hand really grass, why did he pull a handful, but he didn't pull it at all, you know, he is a person who can shoot a stone bow!
Jiang Wanbai looked at Ouyang Jun, but couldn't help but want to laugh, the grass in this wasteland has grown for a summer, and each grass is as thick as a thumb, about the same as a small tree, he grabbed a handful with one hand, and he also grabbed the tip of the grass, and he could drag it down to have a ghost!
Just as he was about to remind Ouyang Jun, Jiang Wanbai saw that he seemed to be competing with those grasses, so he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and dragged those grasses up.
Oops, Jiang Wanbai's heart tightened, and before he could say anything, he heard a "bang", and all the grass was broken, while Ouyang Jun took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The people of the Tian family were immediately alarmed by the noise over there and looked over there. Seeing what was happening over there, Zhang hurriedly ran over, and while reaching out to help Ouyang Jun, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?" How could you fall. ”
Before she finished her words, Zhao squeezed over, "Otherwise, you go over there to rest, you thin skin and tender meat, at first glance, you are not a worker." The Zhao family was particularly concerned about Ouyang Jun.
Ouyang Jun fell, his face was already flushed with shame, and when he was asked by the two of them again at this time, he really wished that there was a crack in the ground for him to get into.
Pushing away Zhao and Zhang, he said angrily: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, get out, get out of the way." With that, he ran to the edge of the meadow and began to pull the grass frantically.
This time, I don't know if it was because he was too stimulated, or if he found the trick of pulling weeds, but the weeds he pulled out flew around, and for a while it was really a bit of a group of demons dancing around.
Because Zhao was close to Ouyang Jun, he was pushed to the ground at once. At this time, her face was not good-looking, but after a while, she seemed to think of something again, put away her displeasure, got up and patted the soil on her body, and leaned over to Jiang Wanbai.
As for the Zhang family, because the Zhao family squeezed her and avoided the fate of being pushed, at this time, she was looking at Ouyang Jun with a worried face. Why is this kid's temper so big, and besides, pulling weeds like this, he should have a sore hand in a while.
wanted to get up, but since Ouyang Jun was really not something she could persuade, she also expected Ai Ai to come to Jiang Wanbai's side.
"Mother, what does this kid do at home, why can't he even pull weeds?" Zhao pretended to pull the grass while pretending to ask unintentionally.
The more she was like this, the more strange Jiang Wanbai became, before, I had never seen her so kind, not only did she help Ouyang Jun, but she was pushed down by Ouyang Jun, and she didn't say anything, and when she asked again, almost immediately, Jiang Wanbai guessed whether the Zhao family had any plans for Ouyang Jun.
The voice was immediately cold, and Jiang Wanbai warned the Zhao family, "He is not from the same world as us, don't beat his idea, otherwise your own accident will be small, and even the Tian family will suffer with you." ”
After speaking, she was afraid that Zhao would not listen to persuasion, so she continued: "Don't take my words as a deaf ear, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." As she spoke, she slammed a piece of grass in her hand and made a "pop" sound.
Jiang Wanbai's expression was a little too terrifying, Zhao was frightened all of a sudden, she had never seen Jiang Wanbai speak so violently, "Mother, what you said is too scary, aren't you also ......"
"You just have to mind yourself, and besides, remember my words, I won't harm you." Jiang Wanbai's tone was extremely solemn, and after speaking, she still stared at Zhao's eyes tightly, for fear that she would have something to think about.
Zhao is not a person who does not understand things at all, especially after these things, she also knows that Jiang Wanbai will not be like this for no reason, so she pursed her lips and stopped continuing the topic, but squatted aside and continued to pull weeds.
Jiang Wanbai and Zhao's words, Zhang naturally heard them word for word, which made her hesitate, how should she do it!
"Leave him alone, when he's tired in a while, he'll stop by himself." Ouyang Jun's temper, to stop him now, is simply impatient.
Zhang glanced at Ouyang Jun again, then sighed lightly, and continued to pull weeds with a worried face.
At this time, the children of the Tian family were also looking at Jiang Wanbai, and they didn't understand what Ouyang Jun was crazy about.
"You pull the weeds obediently, if we can pull half of them before noon, I will make you sweet and sour tenderloin to eat at noon, okay?" Jiang Wanbai is still very kind to these children.
As soon as the children heard that there was meat to eat, they immediately became happy, and Ouyang Jun, who didn't care about it, began to pull weeds.
Ouyang Jun was venting alone on the side. If this was in the Hou Mansion, someone would have come to persuade him at this time, and even his mother and his grandmother would prepare his favorite food and favorite things for him to coax him.
And he, although he usually doesn't listen to the advice of those people, can take the opportunity to vent, and then his mood will be much better. But now, no one has come to persuade him at all, and the people of the Tian family treat him as if he is a transparent person, which makes him vent at the same time, but also has some inexplicable grievances.
After pulling the grass a few times, he only felt a hot pain in his palms, and when he looked at his palms, he saw that his palms were red, which made him sad and angry.
Throwing the grass in his hand on the ground, he turned around and went back to the house angrily, he is the little marquis, why do you want to do this.
Jiang Wanbai discovered Ouyang Jun's abnormality as soon as possible, and knowing that he was almost calm, she got up and followed.
In the courtyard, Ouyang Jun sat on a small bench, looking at the three pots of orchids on the shelf next to him, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Here you go, rub it on your hands, it can relieve the pain." Jiang Wanbai handed Ouyang Jun a bottle of ointment.
Ouyang Jun glanced at the ointment, but did not answer.
Jiang Wanbai was not annoyed, stuffed the ointment into his hand, also took a small bench, and sat next to him, "Didn't you say that your grandfather slept in a mass grave and ate raw meat, so did he say that he pulled weeds?" ”
Ouyang Jun is so smart, as soon as he heard Jiang Wanbai's words, he understood what she meant, and his face couldn't help but change, a person like his grandfather can do everything well and do his best, so what about him who has always targeted his grandfather?
As soon as Jiang Wanbai saw his face, she knew that he understood, and she didn't intend to expose him, she said, "If you're tired, take a break." I asked the fourth child to buy some meat by the way, and I will make you something to eat at noon. ”
Is there anything delicious about meat, and is it intended to lure him with meat? It's really uninsightful.
Ouyang Jun glanced at Jiang Wanbai's back with disgust, and at this moment, his stomach barked out of place. From last night to now, he has only drunk one bowl of porridge in two meals combined, and he is already hungry by this time.
Do you eat meat at noon, is it crispy or braised pork? Ouyang Jun rubbed his stomach with his hand and decided to go back to the wasteland outside.
This time, he calmed down, and after seeing what others were doing, he squatted there and pulled the grass one by one, although the speed was not as fast as just now, but it was steady, and after a while, he cleared out a wasteland.
The work of pulling weeds is actually quite tiring, and the hands have to be strained all the time, and after a while, the finger joints and wrist joints begin to ache faintly.
Also, because she has to squat all the time, the legs of the squatting people are numb, especially Jiang Wanbai, who has old arms and legs, and after pulling it out for about an hour, she can't bear it.
Standing up and moving her limbs, she found that their speed was quite fast, and about a quarter of the wasteland had been cleared, and it seemed that there was really hope that it would be cleared today.
Continuing to squat, Jiang Wanbai was just about to reach out to pull the grass when he saw something in the grass.
If you look closely, the thing with its pointed nose and round eyes is looking at her with a cautious face.
