With Meng Zhen's permission, the villagers began to fetch spring water one after another. Most people are very conscious, and a family will have two or three buckets, enough to water their own vegetable fields and fruit trees. Although many people want to water the wheat fields together, there are more than 100 households in the village, and the lotus pond is only eight points large, which is not realistic at all.

But this is just the idea of ordinary people, and for people who are usually more calculating, it is another performance.

Meng Zhen had lunch and bathed it in the courtyard according to Xiong Xiong. This guy is usually very obedient in everything he does, but he doesn't cooperate when he takes a shower.

Don't look at it is only two months old, the daily nutrition is sufficient, and the momentum is not small, after Meng Zhen washed it, he sweated all over.

"Hey, I've never seen such a thick-skinned person."

Aunt Meng saw that the door of Meng Zhen's house was open, and she greeted and entered the door, and after entering the door, she saw Meng Zhen holding a towel and wiping the water on the dog's body, so she said: "Zhennier, many villagers went to your lotus pond to fetch water today, why don't you go and watch, and there is still time to tease the dog at home?" ”

"Second aunt, what's going on?"

Meng Zhen hurriedly beckoned Aunt Meng to sit on the stone bench and looked at her with indignation.

"You're so generous,"

It turned out that Aunt Meng went to work in the field after lunch, and saw that Meng Zhen's lotus pond was surrounded by many people holding buckets to get water, and she didn't care about it, until there was a discussion of 'too much' and 'why is she like this' came from the crowd, she leaned over to take a look, and found that it was Meng Fanli's family who actually put a pumping machine to get water there, and the long leather pipe was connected to their own wheat field, the water was whirring, and the water surface was falling rapidly, and the water in the pond was about to be pumped out by a third.

No one in the village can see her style, but this woman is a famous shrew here, and she usually doesn't want to provoke her. Aunt Meng got along very well because she lived in the front and back yards with Meng Zhen, and she liked her easy-going and easy-going things, and she really couldn't see Meng Fanli's wife's snarky appearance, so she went over and said a few words to her, but she was sentenced, "No one really said anything, what are you doing?" "Pushed back.

was so angry that she didn't go to the wheat field, and came directly to Meng Zhen's house.

Meng Zhen listened to the second aunt after saying what happened, and she didn't know how to evaluate this sturdy woman.

"This Liu Yumei is really a mean daughter-in-law that we haven't met in our village for decades, she made her mother-in-law sick within two days of passing the door, and she refused to take good care of the patient, and her mother-in-law disappeared in a few years. And Brother Qingwu couldn't stand her bitterness, and would rather live alone in a shack in the wheat field than live under her. ”

For this reason, Meng Qingyu is very unkind to Meng Fanli and his family, according to the relationship, Meng Fanli is his cousin, but Meng Qingyu has never given him a good face, nor has he given him any benefits. Especially this time, Brother Qingwu died in the wheat field in the middle of the night, and no one knew. The next day, the villagers went down to work in the field to see him, and his body was stiff. Alas, it is said that raising children to prevent old age, but this son is a nest and his daughter-in-law is not filial, so Brother Qingwu left so miserably. ”

"Therefore, this house still has land, if you didn't take it over, according to Meng Qingyu's thoughts at that time, I would rather leave it empty than give them two. There are no people in the village who are willing to deal with them, 'filial piety comes first', and even the elderly of their own people can't be filial piety, can they still be expected to treat others well? ”

"Jennier, although the spring is alive, and when the pond is emptied, it will still spew out, but this opening cannot be opened, and she will be addicted to taking advantage of it. If you don't say anything, she will only think that you are a bully, and you will have to make inches in the future! "Well, I know, second aunt, thank you for reminding me."

After hearing this, Meng Zhen thought for a while and said: "I asked Wang Sanye to help make a fence, it will be completed in a few days, I will go to the lotus pond later, and stop her if she is still there, after all, there are still fish in the pond that I have stocked." I asked everyone to carry the water, but I didn't want to have the spring water to myself, and now she's doing it, it's a bit too much! ”

"Yes, that's what I meant. You are generous, and everyone in the village knows it. But for such a person, you take care of everyone, and others appreciate it, and she will take advantage of you and call you a fool in her heart—"

As he was talking, a voice came from the loudspeaker on the telephone pole outside the hospital:

"Everyone's attention, everyone's attention, now I have good news to tell you, everyone in charge of the house should hurry up and come to the yard!"

"Everyone's attention, everyone's attention, everyone is in charge of the courtyard quickly, I have good news to tell you!"

"What's shouting inside?"

Aunt Meng was just talking and didn't listen carefully.

"It seems that it is Village Chief Meng, who said that he asked all the heads of the families to gather in the courtyard, and there is good news to announce!"

The voice in the speaker was repeated several times, vaguely, and Meng Zhen also listened to it.

"Oh, let's go then, maybe there's something good!"

"I'm going too?"

"Yes, aren't you the one in charge of your family? Our head of the house went to pull the goods, so I went for him. Let's go and see! ”

As he spoke, he pulled Meng Zhen towards the courtyard at the east end of Zhuangtou, and the villagers on the road also rushed to discuss with each other what good news there was.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw that Village Chief Meng had set up a desk in the center, and people were sitting behind the desk, chatting with the villagers who had come early.

Seeing that people were almost here, Village Chief Meng cleared his throat: "Everyone is here, I have good news to announce." ”

"Village chief, what's the good news, do you want to send money?"

"yes, how much?"

The people in the village were discussing with each other, and Village Chief Meng's voice was almost drowned out in the huge courtyard.

"Quietly—"

He shouted at the top of his voice for a long time, and everyone finally calmed down.

"It's not about sending money, it's like this, this year our city is going to hold a temple fair on March 3rd-"

"Village chief, what does the temple fair have to do with us, this is the good news you want to say?!"

"That's right, we usually just have a big set, what kind of temple fair?!"

"That's it, that's good news!"

"Be quiet - everyone listen to me, the city will hold a temple fair, give us a stall in the west of the city, you can sell any rare things, the stall is free, isn't this good news?"

Meng Fanhao was afraid of being interrupted again, so he finished his words in one breath.

"Rare stuff? What's so rare in our village? ”

"That's it, that's it, aren't we just planting persimmons, apricots and vegetables or something, these are sold everywhere now!"

"That's right, you can't sell vegetables at the temple fair, right?"

Meng Fanhao saw that some people had already begun to leave in disappointment, so he said loudly: "Why not, let's just talk about Wang Sanye, the bamboo baskets, straw mats and slippers you weaved, these are all folk arts, and they can be sold at the temple fair." And that Grandma Meng Liu, the tiger head shoes you made, and the embroidered coarse cloth bag, are very rare. Also, and Meng Zhen, your persimmons are ripe, you can take them when the time comes, other people's persimmons are ripe in September, and your family's is the only one. And ......"

Village Chief Meng commented on the people in the village one by one, not to mention that he didn't know, he counted, there are really a lot of things that can be placed in the village for temple fairs.

When the villagers heard the village chief say this, it made sense to think about it, so they began to discuss what they could do to participate in the temple fair.

Seeing that the atmosphere was lively, Village Chief Meng continued: "In order to make it easy for everyone to participate in the temple fair, the village committee decided to charter a big truck to pull goods for everyone. Now those who want to participate can go to the village committee accountant Meng to sign up, even if there are no rare things to sell, you can also go to the city with everyone to go shopping. The cost of travel is all saved......"
