Chapter 205: Chopping Wood and Knowing People
Xia Zhi finally took a lot of effort to finally carry the things back to the dormitory.
When the summer solstice arrives, people in the dormitory have already come back from work, and they are busy washing vegetables, washing clothes, cooking or something, and they can hear noisy sounds.
Xia Zhi is not here today, Li Zhaodi is already familiar with the people here, and Li Zhaodi is also very smart, he managed to exchange food from the village and buy furniture.
Seeing Xia Solstice coming back, he hurriedly helped her move her things into the house.
"Xiao Xia, you've bought a lot of things, you're tired, just call me if you need help next time."
Li Zhaodi was anxious to show her enthusiasm, and it was Xia Zhi who helped her on the way anyway.
I owe a great favor to the summer solstice.
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely ask you for help if there is anything in the future."
Xia Zhi was embarrassed to let the family help, so he directly took two of the eggs he bought and stuffed them into Li Zhaodi's hand, and Li Zhaodi hurriedly pushed them.
"What's so embarrassing? I'll help you move your things, and you give me two eggs, what's going on? ”
"Why can't this be?
Take it back and give it to Xiaohong to eat, and Dabao you take a look, the thin and small ones have to make up for it, and the child has to start increasing complementary food.
And tomorrow we will go to work, you have to do this child's affairs today, you should send it to the nursery, and the proceeds from the childcare will be contacted. ”
Xia Solstice still couldn't hold back his soft-heartedness in the end.
Whoever made her not a ruthless person in her last life.
"The nursery here is too expensive, and only the children of regular workers can be sent there, but I have already contacted my sister-in-law next door.
Her man works on a chicken farm, and she doesn't have any work.
So when I'm idle at home, I can help me take care of the children, but I have to give her 6 yuan a month. ”
Xia Zhi is a little impressed by Li Zhaodi, it seems that Li Zhaodi's survivability is still quite strong.
The day's work has not been in vain.
Not only did he settle his two children and someone to take care of them before he went to work, but he also seemed to get food and everything back.
On the other hand, because the trip to the county seat took a lot of time.
I didn't even have firewood.
Although it was not yet dark at this time, it was obvious that there was no time to collect firewood.
Xia Zhi was a little depressed while packing up his things, and he couldn't get firewood today.
I can't burn the kang tonight, I can't cook, so what will I do tomorrow?
You can't just keep putting it off.
After thinking about it, Xia Zhi put things away, turned around and went out, but before he could think about it, he saw a sister-in-law carrying an axe in her hand.
It looks like it's going out.
Xia Zhi didn't say a word, and hurriedly followed.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to chop wood?"
When Liu Cuifang heard this, she glanced back at Xia Zhi and asked with a smile,
"Oh, comrade, are you looking at one of the two new comrades?"
"Sister-in-law, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Zhi.
What's your last name? I think you might be chopping wood, I've been busy all day today, and I haven't chopped wood yet, why don't you take me with you? ”
"Why are you so literate? You intellectual young people are sour in your speech, my surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Guifang.
Let's go, and chop some firewood before it gets dark. ”
Xia Zhi said to go, but when he saw the axe in Liu Guifang's hand, he suddenly stopped, and he didn't have any guys.
"Sister-in-law, I, I don't have an axe."
This is embarrassing enough, just thinking of buying other things, I really didn't think of preparing an axe.
"What's this? Little five, little five borrow your axe and use it. ”
Liu Guifang is a cool person, and immediately shouted twice to the room next to him, knocked on the window with his hand, and sure enough, a big boy inside hurriedly handed the axe out,
"Sister-in-law, I'm still sitting on the fire."
Summer Solstice hurriedly took it,
"Comrade Xiaowu, thank you, I'll send it back to you when I'm done with it."
The young man smiled,
"Okay, you can use it, just send it back to me when you're done."
Xia Zhi followed Liu Cuifang and the two of them out one after the other, and after about 15 minutes of going out, they saw a hill in the distance.
"Comrade Xiao Xia, you are new here, so I will tell you that we usually chop firewood on this mountain.
This mountain is a treasure mountain.
Not only can you chop firewood, but there are also a lot of reeds, and orange stalks left over in the summer. ”
"These are good things to burn as firewood."
"Our chicken farm has two days off a month.
Normally, in these two days, we have to cut enough firewood for half a month. ”
"Look at your little arms and legs, can you chop them?"
Liu Cuifen made fun of Xia Zhi.
Mainly the educated youth who came here, she has seen a lot.
The name of the young intellectuals is good, but they are really not flattering when they do their work.
For example, when the young intellectual women in the city came to chop wood, they basically couldn't do any heavy work.
Not only can't you cut much firewood, but it's also easy to hurt yourself at every turn.
"Sister-in-law, I have also done heavy work, don't worry, you don't have to worry about work, maybe I'm a little better than you."
People in this year are modest and introverted, but they still have to show their strength in work, otherwise they will inevitably be excluded, and they like hard-working people in this year.
Sure enough, Liu Cuifang had a surprised expression on her face when she heard this.
"Oh, I didn't expect to say this, I want to see if your little girl is better than me?"
The two of them entered the small forest at the bottom of the mountain, and sure enough, as soon as they entered the woods, they found that this was indeed a good place to cut firewood, and it seemed that the surrounding villagers also came here to cut wood.
It is a fast-growing and most flammable tree species.
The most surprising thing is that there are many pine trees next to it, and there are thick pine needles under those pine trees, which are also good materials for firewood.
At this time, Xia Solstice is a little regretful, I didn't bring a sack when I came, if there was a sack, this thing would be a good thing to put back on fire.
Sure enough, after the summer solstice started to work, Liu Cuifang immediately stretched her brows and had to give a thumbs up.
"You're a good girl, I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
Xia Solstice said while chopping firewood,
"Sister-in-law, don't say it, you hurry up, I'm done chopping, I'll help you cut that side here."
As soon as Liu Cuifang heard the promise, she also started to do it, and the two partners actually became very fast, one chopping and the other cleaning up the firewood underneath.
The two men took turns carrying the firewood back.
Not to mention, this speed has become faster, Liu Cuifang has to admire, it seems that this female intellectual youth comrade who came this time is still quite capable of work.
