After four days away from home, we returned home safely in the evening of the fourth day. Jiang's mother and Qu's mother prepared a table of sumptuous meals for us to catch the wind and wash the dust.

At the dinner table, Jiang Zhi gave Qu Dad and Jiang Dad a task, to hand over the basket of mosquito repellent grass we had prepared to them, and let them plant it under the wall in front of and behind the house tomorrow.

He explained to his family that it was a kind of Chinese herbal medicine that we saw in the mountains this time, which can repel mosquitoes, and the effect is very good, but it is not very easy to plant, he has only seen it in medical books before, but he has never seen the real thing, that is, no one can artificially plant this kind of Chinese herbal medicine, so we took out the black soil mixed with space black soil for planting vegetables in the city, and let them plant it, first spread a layer under it, as for whether it can live in the future, it can only be left to fate.

After that, I asked again: "We haven't been here for a few days, nothing has happened at home, has it?" ”

Li Shanqing said calmly: "There is nothing wrong at home, but something happened in the village." ”

"What's the matter?" I asked curiously after hearing this, and Jiang Zhi also looked up at Li Shanqing, waiting for him to say.

"Do you know Zhang Xiukun from our village, he and Li Feng and his family had a fight this morning."

"Zhang Xiukun? I've heard of it, but I haven't been in contact with it, and I've heard that he's a very special person. What's going on, why are there still fights. Jiang Zhi said after hearing this.

I've seen Zhang Xiukun, a farmer in his forties, who seems a little taciturn.

"It's all because of the diesel thing, people from our village went to the county to buy diesel, and several families didn't crowd others, and the queue was too low. I didn't buy it, and some people who were popular borrowed it from the owner. The West House bought some and put together the rest of the diesel fuel that everyone had used, and the Baba would finish plowing the land.

Zhang Xiukun's family is the same, I heard that Lao Li's family still has some leftovers, so I went to his house to buy some, and in the morning Lao Li's family promised to sell the rest of the two of them to him. As a result, when Zhang Xiukun went to his house with grain on his back in the afternoon, he heard that at noon, Lao Li Tou sold the remaining diesel fuel to a person from another village at a high price. made Zhang Xiukun angry. Pointing at Lao Li's nose and scolding, 'You're talking like a dog fart?' You sold the diesel to the people from the village because of the difference. We have lived in the same village for so many years, and it is not worth those catties of food? If you have a bad price, you can say that it's all on this one, even if it is at a high price, I have to buy it. And they all say good things. You changed your fart before the smell of it dissipated, isn't this a trick? ’”

"What did Old Li Tou say?" I'm curious about how the old Li family will deal with this situation.

As far as Lao Li Tou can say what is right, their family ignored it first, but their family did not have a single explanation, no apology, and they all stiffened their necks and said that the diesel fuel belonged to their family, and it didn't matter who he sold it to, anyway, how ugly it sounded and how ugly it was. So in the end, the two families fought, and it was the village chief who came forward to pull it apart. Dad Jiang took Li Shanqing's words. After finishing speaking, he also touched the glass with Qu's father and took a sip of liquor.

"Apologizing is a piece of." I sat next to me and muttered quietly.

"How did the village chief deal with it?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"What can he do? It's useless to say anything now, the diesel has been sold, and the buyers don't care what you do, they buy it back with white rice, and it's impossible to return it, if we don't give it back, so the village chief went to let the two families pull away, scolded the old man Li and his two sons, and said that he wouldn't give the old man Li and his two sons a letter of introduction next year, and then let Zhang Xiukun hurry back to find a way, don't waste time here with these three Wang Ba calves, the seedlings are still waiting to go to the ground. "This time it's Qu's dad who said it.

"Sister, brother-in-law, didn't you see it, I went to see the excitement that day, Zhang Xiukun and her two are amazing, just he beat the three old men of the old Li family enough, his daughter-in-law is even more ruthless, that face made her scratch, bloody, almost caught Lao Li's eyes, tsk, tsk, what a fierce general." When Li Cheng said this, he was so excited that he spoke highly of Zhang Xiukun and his daughter-in-law's lethality.

"yes, then I'll have to find a chance to pass by his house a few times tomorrow and have a good look." Then I turned my head to look at Jiang Zhi and said, "We were too tolerant of their family last time, so we should be like Zhang Xiukun and their family, just beat them up in a real way, so that they can have a better memory and dare not get embarrassed in front of our family." ”

Jiang Zhi saw that I was a little excited, patted me comfortingly, and said, "Don't worry, with the humanity of their family, your wish will come true sooner or later." ”

"Although the village chief said something useful, he was right about one thing, it is true that the seedlings at home are waiting to go to the field, and there is no time to mess with their family at this time, so they have to find a way to plow the ground out of the ground as soon as possible." Dad Jiang also thinks that ploughing is the first important thing now, and when he has time in the future, he is looking for the theory of the old Li family, which is too much of a waste of time now.

"Now that no one in the village has diesel, so Zhang Xiukun's family still hates Lao Li Tou so much, what else can he do? Someone asked this afternoon, saying that Zhang Xiukun's family would find someone to help dig the land tomorrow, about 7 or 8 acres of land, and asked if anyone in our family could help? Li Cheng's words showed a good impression of this Zhang Xiukun, maybe this is "the enemy of the enemy is a friend".

"Did you promise?" Jiang Zhi asked Li Shanqing while eating vegetables, the three of them were the ones who could help at home.

"I asked them to agree, we have to help with this, and we can't watch the seedlings rot to the ground, then their family will drink the northwest wind this year and next year." Dad Jiang said.

Jiang Zhi listened and nodded.

Jiang's mother interjected at this time and said: "Why are you so troublesome, don't we still have a little diesel left, just give it to them, it's so troublesome, let a few of you go to the coolies." ”

It hasn't been two days since our own family was cleared, and they had to do hard work for others again, and Jiang's mother was a little distressed.

"No, Mom, we can't give diesel, although we sympathize with their family, but we can't give diesel at this time. Besides, didn't everyone decide to dig the ground manually, and it's the same for our family to go to someone to help, the three of us are so young. There is strength, and there is Xiaoyi, she definitely can't make us tired. You can rest assured. ”

Jiang Zhi did not agree to give diesel fuel at this time, the first is to push our family to the cusp, some people will think crookedly, why did I not say that I have diesel at home, we have to wait until the two families are fighting, we will take it out, it should be said that our family has no intentions.

The second is that in the future, there will be an era of lack of resources such as diesel. Next year's diesel will be even more difficult to get, people see that we can take out the diesel so easily, and we can't tell how much stock our family has. When the time comes, they will come to our house to borrow or buy, and if we say no, people may not be able to believe it, so it is time to deduct pots for our family. It wasn't unheard of when I was in the city last year. We have to eat a trench and grow wise. The same mistake cannot be made a second time.

Moreover, if our family goes to help three people tomorrow, it can also solve their family's problems, and his Zhang Xiukun family will definitely have to thank our family a lot, and we will also be a charcoal in the snow. The end result is the same, then we should choose the method that is beneficial to us.

"You're going tomorrow too, you just came back, don't you have to rest for a few days?" Qu's mother felt sorry for her son-in-law.

"No, I don't. I'm not tired. Tomorrow, the three of us will go together to see what happened to him Zhang Xiukun to the ground. If we are a person who understands, we will try our best to help, and we can't watch other people's seedlings rot into the ground, if people can't do it, we will go through the motions, so that no one can find fault with our family. After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, the people sitting all nodded, and the proposal was passed.

Early the next morning, our family was still eating breakfast around the dining table, Chen Ming came to report on the fart, and when he saw the two of us at the breakfast table, he shouted with some surprise: "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, you are back, I thought you would have to get home this afternoon." ”

When I saw him, I politely asked him to have some breakfast together, he was really not polite, picked up the bowl that Weiwei brought him, and filled a bowl of fragrant millet porridge from the pot himself, squeezed out a place in front of the table, and sat down to have breakfast together.

He also slipped his beard Jiang Ma and Qu Ma while eating, "It's still Aunt Jiang, Aunt Qu, the food you cook is delicious, it's much better than what my mother makes." ”

Qu's mother smiled and joked and said, "Yes, the next time I see your mother, I'll talk to her, let her improve, improve, improve, her son's dislike of her cooking." ”

"Oh, Aunt Qu, you can spare me, if my mother listens, she will go home and pick my skin." Chen Ming joked with the two aunts on the table with a hippie smile.

After a while, Chen Ming and Li Cheng sang and harmonized at the dinner table, and the hearts of the two aunts were excited, and they shared all the Fugen in the pot with the two of them.

Chen Ming had time to ask Jiang Zhi, "Brother Jiang, will you go to Zhang Xiukun's house to help?" "He knew that we all knew that Zhang Xiukun's family was going to dig the ground today.

"Go, how can you not go, how can we say that we are also the villagers of Tashan Village, the people in the same village are in difficulty, we have caught up, and there is this strength, how can we not help?" Jiang Zhi said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring.

"Well, then a few of us can work together again today, and a few of them will go to Sun Jun today."

"It seems that this Xiukun's popularity is not bad, you all go to help."

"Hehe, it's not like we've planted seedlings at home, and we're idle, Zhang Xiukun is Zhang Fanyu's uncle, and he's not bad, we've discussed it, if we can help, we'll help, or people will be sad next year." Chen Ming scratched his head embarrassedly after speaking.

This news is the first time we have heard of it, it turns out that Zhang Xiukun is Zhang Fanyu's uncle, Zhang Fanyu is a young man with a good character, and his uncle should not be much worse, of course, this is our conjecture.

"Zhang Fanyu, how is his uncle?" I asked curiously.

"People are very good, but they are a little special in ordinary times, but it is not bad at all to deal with people or something, yesterday Uncle Zhang and the old Li family fought, Zhang Fanyu knew too late, and when he knew, it was over, or we all wanted to help, this old Li family is not a thing." Chen Ming gritted his teeth when he said about Lao Li's family.

"Okay, okay, you can be careful of my bowl, don't get excited and bite it, it doesn't matter if your teeth are broken, you have to pay for my broken bowl."

"Aunt Qu, look, my sister-in-law bullied me." Chen Ming heard that I was conditioning him like this, so he found a big backer.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, hurry up and eat, let's go and help out early after eating." Jiang Zhi didn't wait for Qu's mother to speak, and then spoke. (To be continued.) )
