Chapter 048: There is strength in numbers
Yakzi and the four girls came to the door of Xiaomei's house together.
She didn't want to enter the hospital, but the fourth girl shouted: "Xiaomei, Brother Yanzi has come to see you." ”
Xiaomei opened the door and came out to see that it was really Brother Yakzi and the fourth girl.
She thought to herself, why did they come together?
She handed the bag of noodles to the four girls and wanted to leave, but the four girls said, "Come in with me, and I'll get you something good." ”
He suddenly remembered the gloves that Xiaomei knitted for him, and hesitantly followed the four girls into the courtyard.
Xiaomei let them into the house.
Xiaomei's mother saw that the half pocket of bud rice noodles brought by the fourth girl was more than ten catties, and she refused to ask for anything, but the fourth girl insisted that she couldn't do it until Xiaomei's mother compromised.
Hearing that the yak was about to go up the mountain to dig the tree pit, Xiaomei hurriedly took out two pairs of knitted gloves and gave them to the yak.
Xiaomei said: "One is for you, the other is for Brother Han, Zhao Nan asked me to help weave, if you want to thank her, thank her." ”
He took the glove gratefully, anxious to leave.
Xiaomei's mother said: "It just rained, and the ground is still muddy, why are you in a hurry?" ”
Yakzi said: "In the evening, the spring sowing battle conference will be held, and the production team will work in the morning and evening from tomorrow, and there will be ten days of night fighting, and there will be no time to plan." ”
"How many tree pits are still missing?" Xiaomei's mother asked.
The fourth girl hurriedly said, "There are more than 300 more, and they will be planted after the planing." ”
"Then how can I have time," Xiaomei's mother thought for a while and said, "Yakzi, my aunt will give you an idea, you call our young and strong members for a while, and go with you to planing for an afternoon, I will cook for you at home, don't you have the bud rice noodles brought by the four girls, I will put the noodles on now, steam two pots of wotou for a while, and then cook a salted duck egg for one of you, wash some sprouted green onions, bring some sauce, the rice is ready, let the four girls and Xiaomei send it to you, so that it is better than you and Dahan, everyone heard that they can have a full meal, Would definitely like to help. ”
Xiaomei smiled and said, "Mom is smart." ”
He didn't want to do this, but he didn't dare to think about it, because he couldn't entertain these brothers who were willing to help.
Now that Aunt Ye has arranged it like this, her family's affairs will make her family spend money, how can he be happy.
Thinking of this, he said, "How can this be done?" How can my family's affairs break the bank. ”
"Okay, okay, don't divide your family and my family so clearly, it's so decided, I still want to see how you usually are, whether you can find someone depends on your ability."
"Auntie, no, no, no."
"What's not going to work, you can go quickly, don't waste time here, four girls, Xiaomei hurry up and help me work."
After Xiaomei's mother finished speaking, she no longer bothered with the yak, the fourth girl and Xiaomei looked at the awkward appearance of the yak and secretly laughed, but the yak was helpless, and no one paid attention to it after standing for a while, so she had to let it go.
The young people of the same age in the tunzi and the yakzi are all good buddies, and when they go up the mountain to dig the roots of the trees, they nominally save firewood for their own families, but in fact they are intentionally helping the yakzi to dig the tree pits, and the yaks know and are very grateful.
He had already secretly made up his mind in his heart that as long as he had the conditions, he would definitely invite these brothers to eat a full meal, but he couldn't do anything for the time being.
Now Xiaomei's mother's actions, he was moved from the bottom of his heart.
Xiaomei's mother is like a confidant mother, she has seen through his mind, this is by no means a whim, it must have been because of the two families before, and there was no reason and opportunity to take the initiative to help him.
You can't think about it, and men will cry when you think about it.
He went out of the gate and hurried to act, went home and got the tools, called his brother Dahan, quickly found a few good brothers, passed on the two of them, and gathered fifteen people in a while, and drove to the eastern slope of Beishan with great momentum.
More than 10 people have division of labor and cooperation, and an hour has passed, and more than 100 tree pits have been dug out.
At this time, I saw two graceful girls in the mountains walking with baskets from a distance, and everyone knew that it was Xiaomei and the fourth girl.
The guy next to the yak joked: "Brother Yakzi, you are not shallow, one is not enough for two, usually we don't even see Xiaomei's face, today we can borrow you from the bachelor's light, do you know what it means to be beautiful and delicious?" I've seen it all. ”
"At that moment, you just watch, don't eat, I'll see if you can stand it."
The yak beckoned everyone to rest, and a young man had already gone up to pick up Xiaomei and the four girls.
Xiaomei wore a white woolen silk turban, a yellow and green shirt and blue pants, a pair of blue and white sleeves, a vegetable basket in one arm, and a hot water kettle in the other.
The four girls wore pink headscarves, checkered clothes and blue trousers, carried a pig's waist basket in one arm, and carried a hot water bottle in the other.
Two young girls came in the afterglow of the setting sun, making this monotonous hillside immediately full of poetry.
Xiaomei and the four girls walked up to the young men, and a wisp of fragrant wind hit them, and the young men immediately looked agitated, where is this just a feast for the eyes, it is simply a sweet gift.
Everyone was still in full swing just now, and at this moment, they all became obedient little sheep in front of the two girls.
However, Xiaomei and the four girls were enthusiastic and generous, distributing steaming nest heads and salted duck eggs to everyone, and placing sprouted onions and large bowls of sauce on an apron.
Everyone sat around and ate happily.
After the rain, the mountain air is fresh, and the surroundings are verdant.
Mountain cherry, mountain apricot, mountain red or spitting red flower bones, or blooming bright pink flowers.
Xiaomei straightened up, it was rare to have a good mood today, at this time someone proposed to let her sing a song for everyone, Xiaomei was not stage frightened, breathing the fresh air after the rain, with a natural good voice, for everyone sang "Listen to Mom Tell the Past Things".
There is no electricity in Xingfutun, there is no radio, and the young men have occasionally learned to sing a few revolutionary songs in addition to listening to and singing the two-person turn, where have they heard such a beautiful song.
This is when Xiaomei was in high school, the music teacher taught her to sing.
Xiaomei sang so passionately that the boys were so fascinated that they even forgot to applaud, but it was the four girls who reminded them that everyone applauded warmly.
A guy quickly ran out and folded a few flowers to give to Xiaomei, Xiaomei was infected by enthusiasm, and simply sang another song "Ninety-Nine Sunny Days", so that everyone even forgot to eat.
After Xiaomei sang, someone asked the four girls to sing a song too, and the four girls said: "My broken gong voice, singing won't scare you to death, and I won't sing either." ”
"Can't you sing, don't you still know how to shout, shout two voices, let's listen."
In order to relieve the siege of the four girls, Xiaomei proposed that everyone sing "Unity is Strength" together.
She knew that everyone could sing this song, and it was taught by the literary and artistic propaganda team of the brigade branch.
Everyone was full at this time, everyone was gearing up, Xiaomei started to command, and everyone sang in unison, which completely ignited everyone's passion.
Men and women match, work without getting tired.
Xiaomei and the four girls were always on the hillside, and everyone was so energetic that they didn't go home until before dark, when they dug out more than 100 tree pits.
