Chapter 371: Chopping Wood and Cutting Wood
On the barn field, two rows of wood were neatly arranged, and Zhao Zhuangshi and Li Xiaoshan occupied one row.
There was also a group of young people coaxing around, and the children in the village were running back and forth. It was supposed to be a boring job, but they played with flowers.
Zhao Zhuangshi carried the axe, and the thief smiled and said to Li Xiaoshan: "Hey, let's gamble something?" If I win, what will happen to my little sister with your daughter-in-law's red scarf? ”
"Fuck off!" Li Xiaoshan glared at the beads in his eyes, "Don't touch my daughter-in-law's crooked eyes, that's what I saved for several years to buy for her!" ”
"Tsk, pick you out," Zhao Zhuangshi wiped his nose and rubbed his hands again, "Then if you lose, buy me a box of big front doors!" ”
A pack of Daqianmen cigarettes is definitely a luxury in the countryside.
Sure enough, Li Xiaoshan didn't agree: "You still want a big front door, why don't you go to heaven?" Bet on a big economy at most! ”
A box of economic cigarettes is eight points, which is the limit that Li Xiaoshan can accept.
"Kill you!" Zhao Zhuangshi scolded.
Li Xiaoshan ignored his agitated general: "Don't bet to pull down!" ”
"Bet! Who said not to gamble! A big economy is a big economy, don't admit it! ”
Zhao Zhuang was aggrieved on his face, but he was happy in his heart. It doesn't matter what kind of cigarette it is, it's better than nothing!
Li Xiaoshan reminded him uneasily: "If you lose, you have to pay me a box of big economy." ”
"I know, I know, what else can I do with you?" Zhao Zhuangshi didn't care, "Besides, can I still lose to you?" ”
Li Xiaoshan snorted and clenched his axe.
The gambling game of the two of them was established under the witness of a group of villagers, and the onlookers were smiling and talking, and they were happy to watch the excitement with the flying snowflakes.
"Come on, the one who finishes the chopping wins, get ready - start!"
With a wave of the hand of one of the spectators who was acting as a temporary referee, the two axes began to fly up and down.
The tooth-aching sound of chopping wood was incessant, and the wood wrapped in brown bark was delicately cut by a sharp axe, and it fell apart with a snap.
Zhao Zhuangshi and Li Xiaoshan swung axes in their hands, moving under their feet, and the two of them were like wood-chopping machines, all the way forward.
Li Xiaoshan is a good worker, but Zhao Zhuangshi really deserves to be from a small chopping wood to a big one, and he left Li Xiaoshan behind him halfway through the trip.
"Come on, come on!"
"Hurry up, Xiaoshan!"
"Keep it up!"
Onlookers shouted, their eyes moving with the axe.
"Click-"
Zhao Zhuangshi swung the axe for the last time, and when he turned around, Li Xiaoshan was five times slower than him.
"Hey, lost, right? Convincing or not? Zhao Zhuangshi gasped, and his head was hot.
Li Xiaoshan finished chopping the last five pieces of wood, then straightened up, panted for breath, and glared at him: "I admit to losing, but I don't accept you!" ”
"Hey, fuck, I didn't see that your kid's mouth was quite hard before!"
Li Xiaoshan ignored him, rolled his eyes and said, "Ming'er will go to buy you cigarettes after cutting down the tree, I don't owe you!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait!"
Zhao Zhuang really took it when he saw the benefits, and he didn't talk cheap anymore, for fear that the cigarette in his hand would fly if he made Li Xiaoshan anxious.
The threshing field was so lively that someone helped pick up the scattered halberds, and after a few words of laughter, they should continue to do something.
The next day, the snow stopped, and the wood-cutting brigade assembled up the mountain on time.
There was snow on the mountain road, but no one cared. Almost every year, when they cut firewood, they have to wade through snow for a few days, and they have long been used to it.
Teachers don't have to go up to the mountains to chop wood, and the village elementary school still has to attend classes, so they have serious things to do.
Other educated youths did not have such privileges, and carried axes and followed the large team to the mountain.
Yu Xiangqin was also in the team, and Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruansoft supported her left and right.
She could have not come, but she was reluctant to work, and refused to ask for leave.
"Sister Xiangqin, are you really okay? Otherwise, forget it, right? There's still a long way to go! Wen Ruansoft didn't quite understand Yu Xiangqin's approach, and wrinkled her nose and persuaded.
Yu Xiangqin gritted her teeth so much that she was sour, and she was gasping when she spoke: "It's just a moment, it's not broken, I can earn five points a day, I'm fine." ”
If she had a family member who sent money and food stamps every month, she wouldn't be happy to suffer this sin!
But she didn't, she had to value every job.
If it hurts a little today, you will be able to get an extra ration next year!
Wen Ruansoft wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wen Qingqing with a look.
They followed to the place where the tree was cut down and waited for the gay man to cut it down before working.
Wen Qingqing saw a big stone on the side, so she said, "Sister Xiangqin, you can sit over there for a while now, and then get up when you work later." ”
Yu Xiangqin was really in pain, so she didn't refuse, and limped to sit down.
The Wen sisters settled her down and went to the neighborhood to collect firewood. They didn't have much strength to chop wood, and they followed up the hill to pick up fallen branches. Yu Xiangqin can earn five points, but the two of them can only earn three points.
Yu Xiangqin sat on the big stone and rubbed her ankles through her cotton pants.
"Hey, why are you still running up the mountain with this virtue?"
Yu Xiangqin was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Zhao Zhuangshi leaning against the trunk of a tree with a branch in his mouth, and when he saw that he was looking at him, he raised his eyebrows in a daze.
Yu Xiangqin rolled her eyes: "What's the matter?" You can come, but I can't? ”
Zhao Zhuangshi stumbled twice, very lacking in virtue: "My legs and feet are fine, unlike you, the road is not good." ”
Yu Xiangqin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "You wait, I won't do it if you want me to test your vocabulary in the future!" ”
"Huh? How can you say two words and put it on your face? Zhao Zhuangshi heard that she didn't care about herself, and hurriedly took out two roasted chestnuts from her pocket and threw them to her, "Am I wrong?" Teacher Yu, don't be like me. ”
"Hmph." Yu Xiangqin snorted lightly, bit off the chestnut and said vaguely, "Count yourself as quick to admit your mistake...... I'll spare you this time. ”
Zhao Zhuangshi hid behind a tree and was lazy, he shook his feet, and suddenly remembered: "Hey, the sentence that Lin Nianhe owed me last time hasn't ...... yet."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted, and suddenly there was a frightened shout in the distance, mixed with screams and exclamations.
"Oops! Get out of the way over there! ”
"Run! Run! ”
Yu Xiangqin subconsciously raised her head and saw a thick tree falling towards her!
It's actually easy to hide when a tree falls, and experienced people know that as long as you run two steps to the side, you'll be fine.
There are two prerequisites for easy evasion, one is experience, and the other is the ability to run.
Yu Xiangqin has been in the countryside for many years, and every year she will follow the villagers to the mountains to cut wood, and she has experience. But her feet hurt her heart, and she had to walk slowly, let alone run?
She pinched the chestnut and watched as the tree got closer and closer to her......
"Fuck, you fucking stupid pestle is looking for death there!"
Yu Xiangqin only heard the irritable scolding sound in her ears, and then her body was knocked down by the figure that jumped over and fell into the snowdrift.
"Bang!"
The trees fell to the ground, and the snow mist that smashed up blinded Yu Xiangqin's eyes.
Under the trees, the snow was dyed red.
