Chapter 42: Nosy

"Sister Zhenzhen, I will, I will! I will catch yellow eels and loaches, and I will also catch frogs, but the snails are no longer there, and when we plant rice and shoot the fields, everyone will pick them up when we see them, and there are no big ones at this time. There are small river snails, and I can go and fish some back when I'm free. ”

Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Really? Then you'll have to grab some when you're free, and I'll make it for you." ”

When Brother Yang heard this, he was so busy that he smiled.

"Okay, then I'll arrest it tomorrow, Sister Zhenzhen, what you say counts."

Ye Zhenzhen bowed her head and responded with a smile.

"You're all full, aren't you? There are still a lot of chili peppers left, Guifeng, you can take it home, although it is not unusual, but it is better than having enough oil and water in it, you can bring it back tomorrow morning to give your parents a bud grain porridge to eat, and you can be more powerful when you work. ”

Gui Feng was touching his stomach and staring at the chili peppers on the plate, but he didn't know how to speak.

Ye Zhenzhen took the initiative to speak, but she couldn't wipe her face a little.

"That's not good, why don't you keep it for yourself tomorrow?"

"No, my stomach is not good, I can't eat anything too spicy in the morning. Tonight's portion is not very much, so I didn't bring it to your parents, and when my brother gets a lot one day, I'll get some for your parents too. ”

Others only thought that the educated youth from their city would have a better life than them.

But I didn't know that the people in the city were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and she couldn't reach any of them, and now she was just a countryman.

Ye Zhenzhen said so, Gui Feng was not polite to her, and after helping her clean up the stove, she led Yang Xiaodi to the house with a plate of fragrant chili peppers.

"Sister, is Sister Zhenzhen's family rich? If you can afford to eat big white rice, then stir-fry a dish and put so much oil in it, which is enough for our family to eat for several days. ”

Touching his round belly, Little Brother Yang was obviously still a little unsatisfied.

"It's your business! Let me tell you, I'm not friends with her for food, you can eat her things in the future, but you have to help her work or something, don't just take advantage of others, you know? ”

She finally made a close friend, and it would be bad if she accidentally made Zhen Zhen think that she was a villain who just wanted to take advantage of her and alienated her.

Although her family is also very poor, she is not poor, and there is no reason to take advantage of others all the time.

Besides, Zhenzhen's family may not be very rich.

Zhen Zhen's complexion is much whiter and more tender than that of them, but it is a little different from that Fu Shasha.

Junior Brother Yang didn't care in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk to Gui Feng on his face, so he only nodded silently.

*

The next morning, before Ye Zhenzhen got up, she heard a noise from the house.

She got out of bed, rubbed her worried eyes and walked out, and saw Teng Jianxiu and Yang Huaming packing up their belongings and preparing to go to work in the field.

"Village chief, auntie, when did you come back? I don't even know ......."

"I just came back, it's still early, you can squint for a while."

Teng Jianxiu is an anxious person, he missed a day's work yesterday, and he can't wait to make up for it today.

At this time, in addition to getting a fixed job for full hours, you can also earn points by doing other jobs.

For example, mowing grass for the cattle of the production team, two points of grass in one basket.

"No, I'm awake, I'll wash my face and go with you." After speaking, he hurriedly went back to the house to change into old clothes, washed his cold water and followed the pace of Teng Jianxiu.

"You kid, you'll be working in the threshing floor later, what are you going to do with us? I can't be idle, so I go to the side of the barn, there is a river over there, and there is grass on the river, you go there and cut the grass and put it away, and when I am free, I will come to you to carry it. ”

Yang Huaming really liked Ye Zhenzhen's diligent appearance, and couldn't bear her running back and forth, so he simply gave Ye Zhenzhen an idea.

After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen paused and looked at the drying field and the field that had not been harvested, and the distance between them was indeed quite far.

"Then I'm not going to the field, I'm going straight to the river. Auntie, I'll go back to cook at noon, you come back slowly, don't hurry. ”

After saying that, he turned his steps, went home again, carried a basket, took a sickle, and walked to the river next to the threshing floor.

The weather in August was really hot, early in the morning, walking with an empty basket on my back, it was so hot that my forehead, neck and back were full of sweat, and my clothes were wet and stuck to my body, and I just felt like I couldn't breathe anywhere.

Ye Zhenzhen pulled open her collar, blew two breaths inside, and stood on the river ridge for a while before finding a place to climb down, standing on the bank of the river and starting to cut the grass.

Because of the abundant moisture on both sides of the riverbank, and the dew has not dried up in the morning, it looks even more fresh and green, and after a while, Ye Zhenzhen cut half of the basket.

But the place where the foot can be cut is finished, Ye Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at the terrain, the cage of grass in front of her grows better, but because there is no place to cut the foot, she can't cut it.

She could only climb ashore again, and walked a few steps forward with the basket on her back, and when she saw a place where there was a place to settle and thick grass, she hurried over, put down the basket and was about to go down to mow the grass.

But when he heard a plop, the slightest coolness spread to his body through his trouser legs.

When I looked down, I was splashed with water.

"Who?"

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head, only to think that someone had smashed a stone into the water and splashed herself.

But behind her, there was no half figure.

She frowned suspiciously, didn't take it seriously, continued to climb down, raised her sickle and was about to cut the thatch near the water first, when she saw a black float out of the water.

"Roaring ......"

Ye Zhenzhen was startled, and fell to the ground, and the sickle rolled to the side, almost cutting her hand.

When I looked closely, the black was actually a piece of cloth, and it was moving slowly downward......

Ye Zhenzhen was curious, and reached out to hold the black cloth, but she didn't expect that she couldn't pull it, and Ye Zhenzhen was shocked.

Hurriedly stood up and tugged hard.

A human head suddenly rose out of the water, and before Ye Zhenzhen was frightened, she heard a voice sound.

"What's the nosy? I finally jumped off, what are you pulling me for? ”

The voice, rough and old, was the voice of an old man.

"......" Ye Zhenzhen's hand holding the black cloth was not loose for a while, nor was it loose.

After a long time, the old man saw that Ye Zhenzhen still refused to let go, and hurriedly pulled the hem of his clothes with his hand, "What are you doing in a daze?" Either let me die, or pull me up. ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the whole person collapsed in the middle of the water from exhaustion.

Suddenly, a wave of rapids came, and the old man's body fell down along the current, and the fabric that Ye Zhenzhen was dragging in his hand also took off because of his lack of strength.
