Chapter 449: Look Down
Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan followed along.
The group was taken directly outside the city, and the black-faced young man pinched his waist to look at them, and admonished: "Although it is a work for relief, but the money of the yamen is not so easy to get, everyone must complete the specified tasks, and must not be lazy, otherwise the wooden sticks will be confiscated and expelled!" Now, everyone's got the tools! ”
Everyone lined up, the black-faced young man held a few pieces of paper in his hand, it was the paper that recorded their information, he called his name, while scanning the information on it, and then compared the face with the name and began to assign the task, "Take a hoe, go dig the ground." ”
"You carry mud in wooden frames."
When Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, the black-faced young man glanced at her, and then looked at the record on it, disgusted, and said with a dark face: "You go to pretend to be mud,"
He was a little irritable, "You really have a lot of strength?" If it doesn't work, go pick up stones. ”
Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I can pretend to be mud." ”
The black-faced young man snorted and called the next Fu Tinghan to step forward.
Seeing that Fu Tinghan knew how to read on the paper, his face looked better, and after calling people up, he looked up and down and said: "You also load mud, this team is under your management, and you will record it, how long the foundation has been dug and how many baskets of mud have been loaded, and the baskets transported out must be remembered, If the task is not completed, all the labor money will be halved!" ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts immediately tightened, and they immediately disliked the women in the team, and said: "Official, there are too many women in our team, what about seven, they have little strength, won't they hold us back?" ”
"What to shout, what to shout, they have little strength, they get low wages, and their share of work is small, you don't put things on their heads, if you can't finish it, no one can escape."
Several men couldn't help but mutter, and they didn't dare to say it openly even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts.
The girls, including Zhao Hanzhang, secretly gritted their teeth, thinking that they would be able to see their power for a while.
Everyone got their own tools and went to the field, and at this time the blood in the field was trampled black, and the water was melted, and the shoes were stepped on it, and the cold continued to drill from the soles of the feet to the body.
Zhao Hanzhang felt the cold, but when her eyes swept away, she also saw many people wearing only straw sandals or stepping on the snow barefoot.
She looked at it in a daze, Fu Tinghan was also stunned, and looked at their red feet, and felt sad, "That's it...... Frostbite, right? ”
A middle-aged man next to them was about to hoe the ground with a hoe, when he heard the words, he glanced over, pursed his lips, and said indifferently: "The soles of those feet are thicker than the horse's hooves, what can happen, okay, you can't eat enough, and you still worry about others, hurry up and work, don't drag us down and not get paid." ”
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Fu Tinghan back and asked them to dig the ground.
It was cold, and the ground was not easy to dig at all, but they still dug it, and after a few more hoes, their bodies became hot, and when the cold wind blew again, they did not feel so uncomfortable.
The excavated soil was thrown aside, and Zhao Hanzhang was responsible for loading the mud, but it would take a while to dig it out, and a few people were idle, thinking that it was a collective after all, and whether to complete the task or not also depended on the collective, so they simply found their own work to do.
Take the shovel in your hand and help dig the ground together.
Fu Tinghan only went down a little bit several times in a row, and the mud he dug out was not as big as a fist, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
He pondered for a moment, and finally changed the angle and stabbed diagonally, but this time it was inserted quite deeply, but he couldn't dig up.
When an old refugee on the side saw it, he couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly stepped forward to push him away and take over, "You can't dig like this, this shovel has to be disconnected, do you know how difficult it is to grab tools?" ”
He pulled out the shovel and showed Fu Tinghan a few shovels by himself, "In this way, in this way, it is both costumeful and fast." ”
Zhao Hanzhang studied on the side, and after three or two clicks, he learned to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
Fu Tinghan noted down the angle and speed of his shovel, and thought that he had learned it, so he nodded.
But......
There is always a gap between reality and ideals.
Fu Tinghan continued silently, and the old refugee shoveled for a while and turned his head to see it, and couldn't help but say: "Housheng, you are so big in vain, you can't even compare to the little girl next to you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang, who had been working hard, looked back at this, she couldn't help laughing, seeing that his face was thin red and the tips of his ears were about to burn, she smiled and said: "Your method is right, but the strength is small, this needs to be done step by step, don't worry, otherwise you won't be able to lift your hands at night." ”
Because Zhao Hanzhang wants to practice archery, he has been practicing his arm strength for more than a year, not to mention that the original body has been practicing martial arts, so his strength is not small.
She can now draw a one-and-a-half-stone bow, but she won't use such a heavy bow, unless she has to stand and shoot from a distance, otherwise she usually only uses a seven-bucket bow for mounted archery, which requires a lot of strength.
Fu Tinghan is also practicing archery, and his accuracy is good, but his strength is only a little stronger than ordinary people, this ordinary person refers to ordinary soldiers, and he is much inferior in front of Zhao Hanzhang.
So he has always used a short bow, and he also made himself a short crossbow, which only needs to be aimed at the head, does not need strength, and can shoot when raised and aimed, which is a sharp weapon for short-range shooting;
At the same time, he made a long crossbow for Zhao Hanzhang, but it was used in the army and could not be used in his personal armament.
In the scriptures, he has always thought that his arm strength is good, although he is not as good as a powerful person, but he is not worse than ordinary people, but he is not as good as others when digging now.
Fu Tinghan was a little depressed.
Zhao Hanzhang inserted the shovel into the soil, and dug it with his foot, and saw Fu Tinghan doing the same action as her, but the soil he dug up was less, and she couldn't help laughing.
Fu Tinghan heard her laughter, and finally couldn't help but glare back at her.
Zhao Hanzhang immediately closed his mouth, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden, "This is actually a good thing, no one is perfect, people always have something that they are not good at, and the way of heaven is balanced." ”
The old man on the side heard her say a lot, and couldn't help but interject: "Little lady, you don't have to comfort your family too much, he is literate, and the daily salary he earns far exceeds ours, and even more so than you, you still have to worry about yourself, be careful that he earns money and doesn't want you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang's mouth opened wide.
Fu Tinghan was unhappy, "Why did the old man guess me like this?" How could I not want her? ”
The old man glanced at him and said: "What's impossible, there are a lot of negative men in peacetime, and now in troubled times, there are even more negative men, you are handsome, elegant and beautiful, and you can read and write, can you live a hard life with your lady?" ”
Fu Tinghan: "...... Then can't I earn more money for her to live a good life together? ”
The old man snorted, turned his head and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Men are like this, they talk sweetly on weekdays, and they don't cost money anyway, don't believe it easily, and let him live a hard life with you for a few days, and then you will know that it is a good thing or a bad thing." ”
