23. Commencement

There are still some doorways at the grassroots, and they knocked on Su Qi's door after two days.

As soon as he entered the door, with a smile on his face, he reported the news he had inquired about with Su Qi: "Sister, I have inquired clearly, there is a family in Xiyan Village in the east that wants to build a house, and it is Yan Jinchuan and their engineering team that are invited." There is a household in Dongping Village to be renovated, which is also Yan Jinchuan's work, which is behind the house in Xiyan Village, not far from us, and it takes two hours to go back and forth. ”

"The project he did?" Su Ji touched his chin playfully: "You said that I give them a small job for free, do they need me?" ”

Now in this year, doing engineering is to earn some food, and Su Ji is a girl's family, and the little grain in the autumn harvest is enough for her to eat. Raising a family is what men do, and she still wants to do a small job, the grassroots feel that she has a problem with her brain, but she doesn't dare to say it: "Sister, what you do is not good, you have to work in the pile of men." ”

Su Ji swept over with a look, and the grassroots were silent.

Seeing that Su Qi's face eased a little, the grassroots smiled, and said the unspoken words: "I just think it's too tiring for you to do it." Moreover, we generally don't let women interfere in these tasks here. ”

Su Qi raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you do it for me?" ”

The grassroots smile froze on his face: "If I had that diligent heart, I wouldn't have come to your house to steal food." ”

Su Qi was at the patriarch's house that day, and he also felt Yan Jinchuan's dislike. In addition, I am a girl, and I am really uncertain whether I can enter the engineering team.

Looking at the grassroots, Su Ji had an idea: "Aren't you short of food for the winter?" I'm going to repair the walls of the monastery, and you can learn how to make adobe and how to lay the foundation, and when you're done, I'll give you food, and you'll work for me. ”

The grassroots thought that Su Qi wanted to learn the craft of building a house, but when he heard that Su Qi was just learning to lay foundations and make adobe, his mind became lively: "Where I still need to learn this kind of work, I will do it." ”

Then he smiled: "I'll work for you, how much food can you give me?" ”

"You haven't done it yet, but you're worried about the benefits?" Su Qi was a little unconvinced: "If it collapses, it will look good." ”

The grassroots didn't get angry: "Sister, in fact, when I was young, my father wanted me to follow Yan Jinchuan and them to learn the craft." ”

"But this work of building a house is really not done by people, newcomers like me are generally miscellaneous workers, responsible for moving bricks and soil, and they are tired like dogs after a day."

"I'm lazy, so I wanted to quit for a long time, but my father looked at it and couldn't help it, so he followed the work for two years. Then my dad was gone, and no one cared about me, so I didn't stay there. ”

"When I used to work with people, making adobe and laying foundations were all small workers' work, and basically I was doing it, and I was a journeyman for a long time. You just have to hand over this job to me, if the quality is not good, don't say that I don't have the face to ask for the food you gave me, I will pay you back. ”

Su Ji looked up and down: "You don't have any food to eat, what will you pay me for?" ”

The grassroots scratched their heads and did not reply.

The courtyard wall was not circled for a day, and Su Qi couldn't sleep for a day.

couldn't wait for Yan Jinchuan, Su Ji could only do it himself.

patting the grassroots on the shoulder, Su Ji made a promise: "Come and work for me tomorrow, do a good job, I will guarantee that you will not go hungry this winter." ”

The grassroots instantly smiled and rolled up his sleeves: "Okay." ”

***

The grassroots have a bad reputation in the village, and Su Qi is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Unexpectedly, this time the grassroots really didn't tell a lie.

The next morning, the grassroots came to the door with a car borrowed from someone else's house.

The bucket of the car was filled with specially dug loess, and he fell to the ground, shouting happily into the courtyard: "Sister, I'm here." ”

After pouring the loess in the bucket, the grassroots did not rush to do it, and lit two firecrackers brought by themselves.

After two sounds, the grassroots began to get busy.

The foundation of the courtyard wall is also for stones, and the grassroots are busy making blanks, so Su Ji can't intervene, so he goes to the back mountain alone and finds a suitable stone.

There is a stone mountain in the back mountain, and in the early days there was a lime factory where stones were obtained.

Now the lime factory is closed, but there are still a lot of fragments of stones that have been blown down from the back mountain.

The shape of the stone for laying the foundation should be more regular. Su Ji glanced at it, and the stones were all strangely shaped.

Su Qi walked into the stone pile, intending to rummage through it piece by piece.

Holding on to a calf-high stone, Su Ji moved it hard, and the stone rolled down.

Su Qi was stunned in place, looked at his hands, and then looked at the stones under his feet, and repeatedly confirmed that it was not paper paste, Su Qi was stupid.

When she was first reborn, Su Qi had a hard time cutting a corn stalk, and she worked hard to cut one, and others cut three of them.

Later, as the days went by, Su Qi's work speed came up, faster than those who had worked in the village for more than ten years, and he thought that he had done more and practice made perfect.

At this time, moving stones, Su Qi realized that his strength was so great.

Su Ji, who didn't believe in evil, turned his head and found a bigger stone, put his hand in the right place, and lifted it hard.

I thought it was a waste of effort, but I didn't expect the stone to be lifted easily.

The conjecture was verified, and Su Qi was a little puzzled, his strength was not great if he was reborn, which meant that this was not his golden finger.

Whether it is the growth experience of the original body for more than ten years, or my own feelings, I know in my heart that this is not the result of being talented and exercising.

After thinking about it, Su Ji set his goal on the mountain spring water that he drank every day.

It is a good thing to have good strength in the countryside, Su Ji figured it out, and he was no longer entangled, and quickly picked up the stones in the stone pile.

The road up the mountain was not easy to walk, Su Qi came with a back basket, three big stones filled the back basket, and Su Ji returned to Xiahe Village.

The grassroots are also working very hard today, and when they go out, there are already more than a dozen adobes on the ground.

Seeing Su Ji carrying the stone on his back, the grassroots put down the work in their hands and helped unload the basket.

When all the back baskets were pressed on him, the grassroots were pressed and trembled.

The legs instinctively moved apart, so that the back basket fell straight to the ground: "My good sister, your strength is also a little bigger, I can't even move such a big basket, how can you carry it back." ”

"You really can't move?"

Su Qi's rhetorical question made the grassroots feel ridiculed. He shook his head helplessly: "If Yan Jinchuan knew that you had so much strength, he would definitely take you back." You can do at least three people's work alone. ”

The grassroots took out the stones one by one and threw them in the corner of the wall for later use, and their faces were red from the force.

Su Qi saw that he was tired and panicked, and took a glass of spring water out.

The two stood in the sun, two paces apart.

fell into the eyes of the people watching the play in the corner.
