Why did he have to wait a few more days to pull the wood, Zou Jie was puzzled.

"The production team two carriages go together, more than ten pieces of wood will run two back and forth, get up early in the morning, and come back in less than the afternoon, of course, according to the rules of the production team, with a half-day carriage, one will deduct you four days' work, two will deduct your eight days' work, shouldn't you be reluctant to work?"

He said, "It's not that I'm reluctant to work. ”

"I know why," interjected the fourth girl, "he was worried about the meal." ”

"What that meal?" Zou Jie asked.

The fourth girl said: "Find someone to carry the wood, plus the owner of the car, and even pull and unload, for them to eat." ”

"Hahaha, I understand, if you don't eat, you have to have a stomach, and you even pull and leak." Zou Jie's choice of words embarrassed the four girls, making them laugh uncontrollably.

"Yakzi, I suggest that you go to pull wood tomorrow, you just have to find a good helper, and I will greet Captain Wang in the afternoon and arrange the carriage."

He didn't answer, and he didn't understand what kind of medicine Zou Jie was selling in his gourd.

Zou Jie continued, "If there is no opinion, it will be decided. ”

As she spoke, she was about to get home, and the four girls had already parted ways and returned to their homes.

Yakzi and Zou Jie went the same way, and walked to the door of Xiaomei's house, Yakzi wanted to say goodbye to Zou Jie, Zou Jie called Yakzi again: "The battle is very hard, what do you eat at noon these days?" ”

He hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Wild vegetables are confused porridge." ”

Zou Jie listened, thoughtfully, and asked, "That's it, only one person can drink one bowl, right?" ”

Yakzi nodded, Zou Jie's expression became solemn, he grabbed Yakzi and said, "Let's go, you can eat with me at noon today." ”

He stubbornly shook off Zou Jie and said, "No, no, no, I won't go." ”

"I don't want you to eat in vain, I want you to help pick up a few loads of water, and Xiaomei and I will take a bath at night."

"Carry water, I won't eat." He put the tools outside the courtyard of Xiaomei's house and leaned against the fence, and followed Zou Jie into the yard.

Zou Jie said as he walked: "When the time comes, I can't help you." ”

Xiaomei and her mother had already prepared lunch, and Xiaomei went to the hospital early to wait for Zou Jie to come back.

She saw Zou Jie and Yakzi walking together from a distance, with Zou Jie there, she was worried that she would be embarrassed to meet Yakzi, so she went back to the house.

Zou Jie and Yakzi entered the yard, Xiaomei opened the door to welcome them into the house, Zou Jie intentionally observed their every move when they met, but he didn't expect them to just smile knowingly, no one spoke, even Xiaomei's mother just laughed, and let Yakzi take the bucket and the flat pole by himself.

"I'm surprised, you can tacitly understand to this extent, you don't have to say hello when you meet, you don't have to speak, today the fourth girl said a word to me, she said that she and Captain Wang have a soul, I think you have a soul." Zou Jie said.

Xiaomei lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed.

Xiaomei's mother explained: "The two houses live in the east and west courtyards, and they are not outsiders, so I treat them as if they were my own children." ”

Zou Jie was still teasing Xiaomei, and the yak had already walked out of the yard with a bucket.

At noon, few people fetched water, and the yak soon returned with a load of water.

Xiaomei had already set up the dining table, and Xiaomei's mother beckoned to Yakzi and said, "Yakzi, let's eat first, and it's not too late to fetch water after eating." ”

He refused, and went out again with the bucket until the big tank was full.

Yakzi still wanted to leave, but Xiaomei blocked the door and didn't speak.

Zou Jie deliberately teased and said, "Did you see it? If you don't need me to keep you, I don't believe it, you still dare to cross over from our little Mei girl? ”

"Sister, shut up." Xiaomei blushed with shame.

Zou Jie said: "I didn't say that I crawled over you, I have saved face for you." ”

The yak simply made this woman who was serious in public and couldn't talk in private so much that she had no choice but to obediently obey and stay for dinner, and Zou Jie inevitably ridiculed her at the dinner table.

After lunch, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Zou Jie said: "You come back after work tonight, I have something to do with you." ”

It's inexplicable, the water has been picked, what are you looking for me? Is there anything you can't say now? He asked suspiciously, "What else are you looking for me?" ”

"You just come." Zou Jie glanced at Xiaomei and joked again: "What are you worried about? I won't let you come and give me and Xiaomei a bath. ”

How could he withstand such a naked teasing, and when he pushed the door and slipped away, he heard a burst of laughter from the three women in the room.

After Yakzi left, Xiaomei and Xiaomei's mother didn't understand why Zou Jie asked Yakzi to come back at night.

It was inconvenient to ask, and Zou Jie didn't explain, but just asked Xiaomei to accompany her back to the commune guest house in the afternoon, on the grounds that she was picking up some things.

After grooming and dressing up, Zou Jie rode a bicycle and carried Xiaomei, and the two of them talked and laughed on the road.

There has been no rain these days, the blue sky does not hang a single cloud, and the sun is abundant, except for the intermittent poplar and willow trees on both sides of the gravel dirt road.

The two beauties were not in a hurry, they put their bicycles aside when they were tired, sat under the trees to rest, listened to the cuckoo calls from the mountains, and picked up stones to provoke birds and magpies, which was rare to be so relaxed and comfortable.

Zou Jie fell on Xiaomei's lap and said, "I brought you out, aren't you worried that I will sell you?" ”

"If you can sell it at a good price, you can sell it, and the money from the sale will buy you a dowry, and it can be regarded as if we are not white sisters."

"Although it's duplicitous, it's generous enough, and I can't bear to sell it if I want to rely on this sentence." Zou Jie said, "Guess what I asked your brother to do at night?" ”

"Give you a bath."

"Hahaha, you remember this sentence, he really can't stand the teasing, as soon as I say it, he can run faster than a mouse." Zou Jie said, "Did you find it?" Your brother is cute. ”

Xiaomei said: "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Zou Jie grabbed the handle and said, "Let me?" What does this mean? Explain that you have acknowledged that the Yak is yours. However, I don't dare to take my sister's love, but I decided to help him, and when the time comes, maybe your yak brother will fall under my pomegranate skirt. ”

"Look at that magpie, it shyly flew away when it heard you say something not shy."

"Yanque knows Zou Jie's intentions, but if I help your brother Yakzi, I will become a poor egg this month."

Xiaomei looked at Zou Jie, waiting for her next step, but she didn't say, "I want to know, right?" Let's go, I'll let you witness it in a moment. ”

Zou Jie stood up, pulled Xiaomei up, and rode on the bicycle again.

The commune guest house is located in Lushan commune.

Xingfutun is a ten-kilometer journey from Lushan Commune, although there are uphill and downhill on the road, the sisters either ride or walk, and soon arrive.

The Lushan People's Commune is a street that was transformed on the basis of the town office before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The street is centered on the office compound of the Lushan People's Commune, and there are a few brick houses along the street except for the commune headquarters, and the rest are earthen tile houses and earthen fences with white gray on the exterior walls.

In the surrounding green trees, the most striking and colorful are the propaganda posters of workers, peasants and soldiers on the streets, large-character slogans, and red flags that can be seen everywhere.

There is a secondary school and a central primary school on the street, and the commune hospital, supply and marketing cooperatives, grain depots, grain stores and guest houses are all on this street.

The commune guest house is one of the few brick houses on this street.

There are two rows of rooms in front and back of the guest house, and in the middle is a courtyard, which is a closed quadrangle.

It used to be a big car shop, the front shop was inhabited, and the back shop was a horse number and stove house, but now it has been changed into a commune guest house, which mainly receives the superior leaders in the countryside, and arranges accommodation for cadres and young teachers who are not in the local area.

Zou Jie usually lives in this guest house, and she has a separate room by herself.

Xiaomei and Zou Jie both ignored one thing in advance, the person in charge of the guest house was none other than Gao Fei, the third son of the commune's senior director, nicknamed Gao Laosan. Of course, even if they thought about it, they still couldn't hide from it.

When the two of them appeared in front of the guest house, they happened to meet Gao Laosan, who had a shiny head and was wearing a white shirt, standing very swaggeringly under the willow tree in front of the door drinking soda.

When Gao Laosan saw Zou Jie and Xiaomei coming over, he was immediately full of energy, and his eyes lit up, like a dog watching the family see his master return.

Gao Laosan immediately ran forward and said with a smile: "This is the two fairy sisters attracted by the fragrant wind, Gao Laosan is very honored, welcome Director Zou to return to his hometown, and welcome Miss Xiaomei to come." ”

I don't want to meet anyone, but I meet anyone.

Xiaomei saw that it was Gao Laosan, and she felt a little resistant and jealous.

Unexpectedly, this guy who often appeared at the gate of the campus to bully girls when he was in middle school has become the director of the guest house here after a few years.

Gao Laosan looked dignified, looking at his squinting eyes, the hooligan aura in his bones had not changed at all.

Xiaomei hid behind Zou Jie angrily, turned her face away, and Zou Jie said: "Tall director, stay where it's cool, it's none of your business here." ”

"No, you brought Xiaomei here, don't I understand, it's really hard Director Zou, I will definitely repay your great kindness in the future." Gao Laosan said excitedly, "I, I, I didn't expect that it would be joy from the sky, you go to the guest house, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a few bottles of soda." ”

"Rest, we can't afford your soda." Zou Jie said solemnly, "Director Gao, let me tell you, I brought Xiaomei here to let her accompany me to pick up things, and it has nothing to do with you, please don't be sentimental, in addition, today I also solemnly tell you, please give up your illusions about Xiaomei, it is impossible for the two of you." ”

Gao Laosan smiled and said, "Why is it impossible, everything is possible, right, Xiaomei?" The third brother is now a serious person doing serious things, as long as you nod your head, the third brother will not hesitate to be a cow and a horse for you in this life. ”

"I don't need you to be a pug," Zou Jie said, "okay, what should you do, get out of the way!" ”

"Okay, okay, you wait, I'll be back in a moment."

Gao Laosan put down his words and ran to the People's Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and he also sent someone to send a message to his mother, who worked in the commune hospital.
