Chapter 7 Amaranth
"Uncle!" Jiang Xiaochi laughed stupidly, and then seemingly inadvertently wiped his face with his muddy hand, which was originally muddy because of sweat, and he couldn't look at it when Jiang Xiaochi wiped it like this.
Jiang Dawu saw Jiang Xiaochi's stupid appearance, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he coaxed: "The children's family, when you are tired, you will play first." Digging a well is a big deal, and you have filial piety in you, so you can't lean to the side. ”
If it weren't for the mud that made a mess of Jiang Xiaochi's face, Jiang Dawu would definitely not be able to accept Jiang Xiaochi's expression.
The original owner's father has been dead for four years, so she still has to bring Jiang Dalin a lifetime of filial piety?
Jiang Xiaochi didn't understand, nodded hehe, and said, "Hey! Got it, uncle. However, the location of this well is really well chosen, if you go a little further to the east, catch up with that section of the mosquito, and no one dares to come forward to fetch water in the summer. ”
Hearing Jiang Xiaochi say this, Jiang Dawu paid attention. It's not that I didn't think about that location when I decided on it before, and judging by the number of mosquitoes, there is indeed such a thing as a well. If mosquitoes congregate in one place, there is a good chance that there will be a source of water in that place.
Originally, Jiang Dawu and the old villagers had been thinking about where to dig wells in the two places for a long time, and after hearing Jiang Xiaochi say this, Jiang Dawu hurriedly took people over there to take a look: the ground was wet, and when a shovel went down, the soil layer that had been exposed to the sun for so long was not dry at all.
Jiang Dawu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned people to come and dig in this place.
Jiang Xiaochi saw that Jiang Dawu was enlightened, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, if the well is drilled there, I won't dare to come over to fetch water in the summer." "Hurriedly huddled in a crowd of women.
There is a characteristic of women's piles: they talk and break their mouths, listen to Jiang Xiaochi's chin and slap Jiang Xiaochi as a pastime, and put all the credit on Jiang Dawu.
When the sun was poisonous at noon, after a while, everyone's face was like a fire, and even if the cold water was vigorously pushed on the face, it could not reduce half a point at all. What I just talked about is in full swing, and being exposed to the sun like this, no one is in the mood to talk about the mountains anymore.
Jiang Xiaochi didn't have much strength originally, and his swaying speed of carrying water slowed down with the team.
The big guy was working listlessly against the sun, and a familiar scream suddenly came, followed by a howl and cry, and with the scream, everyone's eyes looked at Tian Hua.
Somehow, I saw Tian Hua's face as if it had been painted with black paint, her fingers were shriveled, and she hugged her in fear, and her face was black and purple with blood blisters.
Tian Hua was crying and howling, and at a glance she saw Jiang Xiaochi staring at her from afar. Crazy ran to Jiang Xiaochi and scolded: "I just said that you gluttonous girl didn't have any kind eyes, and dangled a handful of amaranth in front of me early in the morning, is it poisoned in it, and you want to harm me?" I'll beat you to death, a bastard, our Jiang family raised you once, you don't know the picture, I still owe you! ”
The villagers immediately discussed, could it really be the poison given by Jiang Xiaochi?
Jiang Xiaochi was innocent, and glanced at Tian Hua's black face: "Auntie, you snatched the amaranth from me, and everyone in the village can witness it in the morning." Besides, what kind of poison are you talking about? The family is poor and white, I haven't even been out of the village entrance to the village, how can I buy it to poison you. Besides, didn't the uncle eat in the morning, why didn't the uncle's face turn black? Could it be that the uncle felt sorry for the aunt and was not willing to eat the amaranth he took back? ”
Tian Hua mentioned the matter of amaranth, Jiang Xiaochi had already made it clear about the sudden blackening of her face.
Amaranth is a wild vegetable with strong light sensitivity, and allergies who have eaten amaranth exposed to the sun can definitely cause plant-based solar dermatitis.
As for Boss Jiang, it is easy to explain that he has not turned black: Boss Jiang himself has a good physique, and his face is covered with a thick layer of soil because of digging wells, unlike Tianhua's oily noodles, and he washes it by the water when he has some ash on his face.
Especially this amaranth is still brought out of the Lingquan space, and the photosensitivity must be doubled, otherwise Tianhua can't be as black as a carbon.
The villagers don't treat Jiang Xiaochi very well, but Jiang Xiaochi has nothing to do with the poisoning, the half-grown children don't talk about it, and no one in the village is willing to deal with this wild girl who has no father and no mother, and it is even more impossible to have accomplices.
The villagers don't want to listen to Tian Hua's blindness, who doesn't know that Tian Hua robbed other people's greedy vegetables by bullying the small in the morning. The fields are black and scary, and the villagers don't dare to come forward to take a closer look.
Originally, Jiang Xiaochi was soft-hearted, and he was thinking of secretly digging up some detoxifying herbs in the space to detoxify Tian Hua's body. But Tian Hua made such a fuss, no matter whether he had the heart or not, Jiang Xiaochi was willing to let Tian Hua's face black for a few more days.
Horizontal and vertical can't kill people, Jiang Xiaochi doesn't have any burden in his heart, and by the way, he can have one uglier than himself, and see who will scold himself for being like a ghost when they meet in the future.
There are no barefoot doctors in the village, and the educated youth are the most knowledgeable in the team, but they look left and right around one by one, and they can't see anything at all.
Jiang Xiaochi thought it was funny, if she hadn't been in the system for a long time, she would not have known astronomy and geography, she wouldn't have known that amaranth would be easy to turn black if she didn't eat well.
Boss Jiang felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and when he saw that his daughter-in-law's face was ruined like this, he hurriedly took leave with Jiang Dawu, went home and called his eldest son Jiang Dazhuang over, and pushed Tian Hua to the township commune.
The howling sound gradually faded away, Jiang Xiaochi snickered in his heart, no wonder all the old Hu other dishes were transferred, but the amaranth was left, it turned out that this old immortal fox ghost idea was used here.
Boss Jiang took his daughter-in-law away, and the villagers returned to order and worked, and there was a burst of speculation on their lips.
Jiang Xiaochi snorted, no matter how anyone asked, he didn't hear it.
In rural areas, there are generally two meals, as long as the members who go to work can eat in the village brigade, and this meal is still full.
finally got to the meal, Jiang Xiaochi's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
But it was also said at the brigade dinner. Although it is a big pot of rice, it is not as much as you want, and you can eat whatever you want.
Adult laborers, that is, they can only earn ten ten, bud rice flour cakes are two per person, and no one cares if they can't eat them, but sweet potato porridge is enough. Women and the elderly don't have bud rice flour cakes, so they can only drink sweet potato porridge, and of course this sweet potato porridge is enough. No one has any objection to this unfair treatment, and who makes men a piece of the family.
Due to the shortage of food, not to mention the small size of this cake stall today, even the sweet potato porridge is much thinner than usual. But in difficult times, the big guys don't have an opinion at all.
Jiang Xiaochi drank sweet potato porridge, thinking that Mrs. Zhang at home was a little relieved. My stomach is full, but Mrs. Zhang's stomach is still hungry. There is no food at home, not to mention, even if there is food, Mrs. Zhang's almost blind eyes, Jiang Xiaochi is not worried that she will cook alone.
While he was wandering, his arm was stabbed, and Jiang Dawu stuffed a bud rice noodle cake in Jiang Xiaochi's hand for the first time.
