After lunch, Liang Xueping returned to his residence and began to pack his luggage impatiently, planning to move to Liang Xuetao's old house in the afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is said that it is luggage, but in fact it is a small box, and when they came out of City A, their family brought four large boxes full of items, but unfortunately some of these things were used as travel expenses, and the other part was forcibly plundered by their peers, and now there are only a few clothes left.

Liang Xuemei had the heart to persuade her to delay for a few days, the old house had not been inhabited for a long time, and the rainstorm had been falling for three consecutive days, and the dampness in the house must be heavy, in case someone got sick again, it would not be good.

Liang Xueping refused and insisted on moving.

Although Liang Xuetao's house is an old house, it is well maintained. When Liang Xuetao moved, he only took some electrical appliances with him, and the rest, such as beds, cabinets, tables, pots and pans, and other things are still there, although they are old, they can be used improvised.

Liang Xueping's mother and daughter walked around, and they were quite satisfied.

When she returned to the hall, Liang Xuemei was sweeping the floor with a broom, and Jia Furen was led by Hong Haishan to go outside to fetch well water.

"What's going on? The house is still liveable, right? Liang Xuemei asked with a smile.

Liang Xueping nodded reservedly, "It's okay." ”

"Eldest sister, you live here in peace, our brothers and sisters are close, and we can help each other with anything. Our family's situation is calculated in the village, and other families are counting the food, as long as they don't die of hunger. There are a few people like us in the village, whose in-laws really can't get by, and I heard that they haven't even let the door in. Liang Xuemei swept the ground and nagged, "This is our good fortune, my mother loves my daughter, and my brother also takes care of his brotherhood." ”

"Can't get enough to eat? Wasn't the summer harvest just over? Although Liang Xueping does not go to the ground, there is still such common sense.

"I was disturbed by a plague of locusts, and you don't know how powerful the locusts were, all of them were so big, and they picked and gnawed on the ears of wheat, and it made me feel sorry for me at that time....... Haishan and I hurried and hurried to harvest only half of the wheat! ”

Liang Xueping calculated carefully, two points can produce up to 1670 catties of flour, that is, black noodles, she secretly looked at it before, Liang Xuemei's flour is more than this, many of them are white noodles, and then I thought that the other party's situation is the same as her, and her mother-in-law's family can't get through it before she comes back, so she asked: "According to what you say, your family's food should not be enough to eat!" ”

Liang Xuemei nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for the help of my second brother, I wouldn't know how my life would have passed." ”

Liang Xueping smiled, "Is Taozi's family stockpiling grain?" "Otherwise, why are the hands and feet so big, and they lend it to her and Liang Xuemei, the amount is not small.

"I don't know about this, it's good to be able to borrow food, and I didn't ask much." Liang Xuemei guessed in her heart that the second brother's family had a lot of rice and noodles, but she couldn't say this to others, even the eldest sister.

Liang Xueping saw that the other party didn't want to say more, so he took the opportunity to divert the topic.

After a while, Jia Furen walked in with a large pot of hot water.

Liang Xueping glared at her with disgust, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face for him, "Where have you been?" Face dirty like this? ”

"Dad, you've become a big cat." Jia Ting pointed at her father, covered her mouth and laughed.

Jia Furen was also full of smiles, "I followed Haishan to learn how to burn firewood in the stove room. ”

After chatting for a few words, he left in a hurry, saying that he was going to clean the bathroom and check the situation of the manure pit, and before leaving, he specially reminded Liang Xueping, saying that she had a bad stomach and drank more hot water.

Liang Xuemei laughed "poof", and when Liang Xueping looked over, she teased: "Eldest sister, brother-in-law is very good to you, it will hurt people." She noticed it at the dinner table before, and her brother-in-law handed the chopsticks and bowls, and made soup for the eldest sister, and after eating, she took out a tissue paper to wipe the eldest sister's mouth.

"It's good, I don't know how to do farm work and I don't have much strength." Liang Xueping said this, but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. Although her husband is not strong enough to do heavy work, he is really considerate to her and always thinks about her in his heart.

Liang Xuemei shook her head disapprerovingly, "What's that, no one is born to plant seedlings in the ground, just have this kind of mental learning, it's not a difficult thing." ”

Liang Xueping thought about it for a while, and said that her husband would rather leave her parents for her sake and not go to the temporary base to live a stable life, but had to accompany her to travel thousands of miles and endure hardships to come to Datian Village, this intention alone is enough.

At this time, Jia Ting, who was beside her, suddenly shouted, "Second uncle, it's the second uncle who is here." She said as she waved her hand out the door.

Liang Xuetao carried two large bags of things and strode in from the outside.

After entering the door, he didn't even take off the poncho, the rain fell to the ground, and a few water stains came out, Liang Xueping couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

"Second uncle!"

"Second brother, come and pull!"

Liang Xuetao nodded, put the thing in his hand in the corner of the wall expressionlessly, pointed and then said to Liang Xueping: "This is 200 catties of white noodles, and there are some seasonings." The words fell, and he turned around and walked away.

This time, Liang Xueping was angry enough, but in front of Liang Xuemei, no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't say anything, so she could only stand in front of the door and look at Liang Xuetao's back and smile bitterly, "Taozi's temper is ......."

Jia Ting pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "The second uncle ignores me." ”

Liang Xuemei smiled, "Probably because I'm busy with something, right?" ”

Liang Xueping said in his heart, who are you fooling? No matter how busy you are, you don't even have time to say a few words?

"It's me who did something wrong, I'm sorry Mom and I'm sorry for you, it's understandable that Taozi did this!" As she spoke, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, with a faint cry in her tone.

Liang Xuemei hurriedly put down the broom in her hand and walked over, stretched out her hand to help her wipe her tears, but was brushed away by Liang Xueping's displeasure, her hands were so dirty, and she touched her face.

"Eldest sister, you haven't been at home for so many years, you don't know some situations, the second brother has moved back from the city to live like this, in addition to his mother and second sister-in-law, he doesn't like to talk to people, in fact, think about it carefully, it's nothing if you don't like to talk, just be a good person, if we don't have him, life may not be as good as it is now." Liang Xuemei spoke softly and tried her best to justify, on the one hand, she wanted her eldest sister to be relieved, and on the other hand, Liang Xuetao treated her well and reciprocated her with peach, and she also loved to say good things for each other.

"Listening to you say that, Taozi is good to his daughter-in-law?" Liang Xueping asked.

"Not really!" Liang Xuemei snapped her fingers and said: "Chopping wood, chopping wood, carrying water, and digging dung, but the second brother doesn't let the second sister-in-law do all the dirty work, and she doesn't let her interfere in the farm work in the field, but I feel sorry for the second sister-in-law!" ”

Jia Ting exclaimed, "Second uncle must love second aunt very much." Mom, I'm going to look for my second uncle like this in the future. ”

Liang Xueping patted her with a gesture, "Don't be ashamed!" I can't help but think of the second sister-in-law who looks like she is in her early twenties, with a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, especially the tender white skin, which is really enviable, no wonder Taozi is so precious to her.

She chuckled lightly and said in a mocking tone: "I didn't expect our family to have a model husband." ”

Liang Xuemei laughed dryly, as if she didn't want to say more, picked up the broom and began to work.

Liang Xueping felt that something was wrong, and had the heart to say a few more words, just at this time, Hong Haishan and Jia Furen walked in with buckets and mops.

The room was finally cleaned before dark, and the four of them sat in the hall and each took a cup of hot water and chatted while drinking, while Jia Ting went back to the room to take a rest.

As she spoke, she talked about the rainstorm, and Liang Xuemei was worried when she mentioned it, "With such a heavy rain, it will take another week, and I don't know if the crops in the field can be saved!" ”

Liang Xueping raised her eyebrows, "How can it be so long!" ”

"It's true, the second brother said, this rain will rain for ten days!" Liang Xuemei said with a glance.

"Meizi, you opened your mouth and closed your second brother, did Taozi pour you some ecstasy soup, and you even believe this kind of nonsense?" Liang Xuemei sneered, rural women just don't have knowledge, and they can believe it without a little scientific basis.

Hong Haishan listened harshly and retorted: "Last month, the second brother said in the field that there would be ten days of heavy rain in early September, and everyone in our village knows about it. ”

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you for?" Hong Haishan replied angrily, after an afternoon of work, he didn't fall well, and he still had to suffer from this wretchedness, no wonder the eldest brother didn't wait to see the eldest sister, who could stand it if they spoke yin and yang.

"It's true!" Liang Xuemei nodded again and again, "A few days ago, there were greenhouses in our fields, and tiles were added to the roof, and the second brother took us to do it." ”

"If you don't believe it, go to the brigade and ask!" Hong Haishan was impatient, and pulled Liang Xuemei up, "Big brother-in-law, it's getting dark, and Meizi and I have to rush home to cook." The words fell, and without waiting for Liang Xueping and the others to react, the two of them walked out of the house.

Liang Xueping wanted to chase out, but she couldn't let go of her figure, hesitated for a moment, and then looked outside, there was no one left.

Jia Furen looked at his wife and sighed helplessly.

"It's okay, Meizi better talk, I'll coax her when I turn around!" Liang Xueping looked very determined, thought about it, and asked her husband again, "Do you think what they said is true?" ”

Jia Furen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, I think there is eighty percent credibility, and they don't need to lie to us." ”

"It's really surprising that Taozi has such a great ability!" Liang Xueping's tone was faintly unwilling.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when the time comes."

Liang Xueping naturally didn't want Liang Xuetao to be like a god, after all, the more capable the latter was, the more incompetent she became. She is a college graduate, the benchmark of the Liang family, and the "Golden Phoenix" that flew out of Ota Village, if she is compared to Liang Xuetao, who can't even write well, it will be too embarrassing!

Unfortunately, the rain continued intermittently until September 10th, and it never completely stopped.

The villagers were full of lamentations, and the entire village seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze, and even breathing could feel the heavy oppression.

The road in the village has begun to accumulate water, and the entrance to the village is the lowest, and the water level is about thirty or forty centimeters high.

Everyone was busy in the fields every day, and the summer harvest was plagued by locusts, and if the autumn harvest went wrong again, they would not be able to survive the whole winter for the next year.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Cheng convened an emergency meeting of the villagers.

There are two main points in the content of the conference.

First, the drainage of the ditches in the fields is insufficient, and each villager must arrange for one person to be on duty 24 hours a day, expand the ditches during the day, build a reservoir, and carry out manual drainage at night.

Villagers who were interested in seconding the staff registered with Zhang Chungang after the meeting.

Zhang Chungang was originally the treasurer of the village committee, but now he is mainly responsible for the management of goods under the name of the escort team, the registration of personnel, and the payment of salaries to team members.

Second, young and middle-aged people over the age of 16 and under the age of 60 in the village work in shifts every three days and do half-day work, mainly to strengthen the river embankment and clean up the dirt in the stagnant water. This is voluntary labor and is not paid.

After saying this, Zhou Cheng asked the villagers what difficulties they had.

Everyone talked a lot, most of the difficulties can actually be overcome, only one point, the artificial drainage in the field at night is really difficult, the vision at night is too poor, and it rains so heavily, not to mention the work, it is good not to fall.

At this time, someone suddenly sighed: "If only the flashlight could still be used!" ”

"yes, I regret dying, why didn't I buy a few batteries in the first place!"

Before the end of the world, water and power outages in Ota Village were commonplace, and every household was equipped with flashlights, which were generally dual-purpose types that could be loaded with batteries and directly charged, so very few people would buy batteries.

Zhou Cheng bowed his head and was silent for a long time, and then said: "At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone will bring all the flashlights that can be charged, and go to the front of the guard building, and I will use the diesel generator to charge it when the time comes." He still has some diesel fuel in his hand, and he has not been willing to use it, and he was originally ready to drive to the capital, but unfortunately the situation is pressing, and now he can only take it out.

As soon as he said this, he was praised by everyone present.

Xu Rongguang was so angry that his back molars were about to grind out, and a bunch of foolish people licked hard when they got a big fart, and there was no shame in losing it!

Before the end of the meeting, I don't know who asked, "Team Zhou, can we get through this time?" ”

Zhou Cheng looked around, and a hoarse voice sounded in the venue, "Everyone works together, we will definitely be able to get through this difficulty!" ”

An old man in the village followed and said loudly: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, God hasn't beaten us down yet, don't be scared to death first, look at you one by one, it's not as good as me, a bad old man, raise my head and cheer me up." ”

"yes, cheer up!"

"God wants to accept us, so he has to let him get his wish!"

Zhou Cheng is the best at inciting people's hearts, and shouted loudly when he saw the opportunity: "Do you have the confidence to overcome difficulties? ”

"Yes!"

The sound was deafening, as if it was about to break through the sky! (To be continued.) )
