Chapter 61: You won't die after all
After a while, the flower came back with a large leaf in his hand and water.
Hua Yu had already picked up two trips to the water, walked step by step from the ridge to the field, looked at the staggering, walked several meters away, and returned to the ground steadily.
While he was watering, he heard the sound of the flowers,
"Come and drink some water, I don't know if you have eaten, if there is a harvest in the mountains later, I will roast you some meat to eat......"
When the flower handed out the leaves in his hand, he raised his eyes and saw that the lips of the flowers were peeling and cracking on the dry ground, and they were moistened a lot, obviously having just drunk water.
She had just said something like that, and then she paused.
Hua Yu just looked up, her eyes fell lightly on the blade in her hand, glanced at it, and took it back, without any intention of taking it.
Hua Shi walked up to the ridge, looked at the turbid yellow muddy water in the barrel, and then looked at the young man who was expressionless and bowed his head to work.
The water of the lake is the water that the villagers have watered and irrigated for many years, mixed with a lot of mud fields, the water is muddy, yellow and clear, and cannot be drunk at all......
"You drank the water from the lake?" Flower time asked.
Hua Yu replied without raising his head, "Hmm." ”
From his tone, the meaning of the rhetorical question was heard.
If you don't drink it, do you go all the way to the stream to drink?
The boy has long been accustomed to it, and the things he is used to seeing in time and space are a little unacceptable in the eyes of Hua Shi.
"The water is dirty, and drinking it upsets your stomach, and it's not good for your health." Hua Shi endured it, but still persuaded it.
The air was silent for a moment, and Hua Yu scoffed at her preachy words, and her eyes were cold.
Hypocrisy, he has been drinking for so many years, what can he do if his stomach hurts? You won't die after all.
On the contrary, she likes to be nosy more and more, and always says something in a sly manner, which makes people laugh when she hears it......
"Don't drink it in the future, clean water is enough, or bring water at home to drink, isn't there a bamboo tube at home? Fill four or five tubes, enough to drink for a day. ”
Hua Shi watched him bury his head in watering and said.
She babbled a lot of things, all of which were subconsciously spoken in her heart.
Hua Yu has worked hard for many months, and has not stopped, her legs and feet are not good, and the exposed skin on her hands and feet has been sunburned.
The delicate skin belonging to him at this age is as rough as tree bark, with a layer of dry skin, palms of hands, soles of feet, and if you look closely, you can see a thick layer of cocoons, which have been worn out a lot.
Looking embarrassed, it is not difficult to imagine how tired and hard he is......
Hua Shi looked at him like he was accustomed to, and he couldn't bear it, and he muttered a few words.
After Hua Yu finished watering, she carried the wooden bucket in the direction of the lake, and didn't pay a word to her at all.
Hua Shi sighed, after the sun rose, her back and exposed skin and flesh were a little sore from the sun, and she followed behind Hua Yu.
The boy limped ahead, and Hua Shi tended to follow behind.
Xu Shi noticed that Hua Shi followed, and Hua Yu's steps were a little messy and impatient, and he also had some irritability in his heart.
When he walked to the lakeside, Hua Yu squatted down, bent down to hold the turbid water, and swallowed several mouthfuls in front of Hua Shi.
Flower time to see this scene.
Come on, I didn't listen to the words I just persuaded.
On the contrary, it was like going against her, otherwise he would have drunk, and he would have drunk it several times.
Hua Yu filled two wooden buckets of water, and staggered back, Hua Shi followed all the way, and did not see anything that could help.
The terrain in the soybean field is high, and the water of the lake is below, so it is difficult to dig a ditch to divert water to the ground.
Such laborious and torturous land is generally a wasteland that others don't want, and it can't dig ditches to divert water, so it can only be picked up one by one, which is time-consuming and thankless, and the villagers are not uncommon to find such land.
The Li family is greedy for this small bargain, and he rarely cares about this land, and gives it all to a fifteen-year-old boy to take care of.
In order to grow crops from the ground, Huayu almost all lived in this dry land, and there was no place to shade the sun.
Carrying water back and forth, drying for many months, the person was as thin as a monkey, tortured around, and his hands and feet were rotten......
If it were her, or an ordinary person next to her, she would be full of resentment and hatred for this culprit, 'Li'......
This is simply the exploitation of child labor, and the lack of food is lost.
Hua Shi stood on the shore of the lake, thinking for a while, and Hua Yu came back with two wooden barrels to fetch water.
When he saw the flowers, he stood there fixedly, and he didn't care, and continued to carry water on his own.
Hua Shi looked at his strangled tendons and bulging veins, and said, "Why don't I help you make a bucket, and the two of you may be faster." ”
She didn't see that there were many buckets in the ridge, and she saw that he was tired and sweaty, panting, and a large piece of calluses on the palms of his hands were worn out.
In the end, I can't bear it, I want to help, and finish pouring the water in the field quickly, it's a good thing......
Hua Yu didn't stop her from reaching for the barrel and stood in place, looking at her for a long time.
As soon as Hua Shi picked up the barrel, he was shocked.
The barrel was empty, and there was no water in it, but the weight was not light at all, and it was so heavy that it almost didn't hold it steady.
When she tried so hard to fill it with water, with all her strength, and with both hands, she couldn't scoop up a bucket full of water.
The weight of the water, coupled with the buoyancy of the water surface and the barrel, she dragged it for a long time, but she couldn't pick it up......
"Babble!"
Hua Shi poured half of the water in it and pulled it down hard before he could barely scoop up the barrel.
The center of gravity of the whole person shifted forward, and the person almost fell into the river.
Hua Shi subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, looking at her Hua Yu like watching a play.
The young man had his hands on his chest, his face expressionless, and his eyes seemed to contain mockery.
After she had only picked up half a bucket of water, he bent down to get another bucket, and with the strength of his hands, the action of drawing water was done in one go, and he filled a bucket of water in two clicks.
Flower time: "......"
It's embarrassing......
It seemed that there was little point for her to help, but Hua Yu didn't stop it, and after he filled a bucket of water, he walked back along the ridge.
Only the flowers and a half-barrel of water remained, leaving them in place.
Hua Shi estimated his strength, and the weight of the wooden bucket full of water, chose to only carry half a bucket of water, and followed behind Hua Yu.
Although Hua Yu has a weak leg and feet, and walks with a limp, he walks very steadily, carrying a bucket of water, and he does not see the unstable center of gravity.
On the contrary, when the flowers followed behind, I changed my hands back and forth several times, and the palms of my hands were hot and painful, and I felt that my palms were red.
It's only half a bucket of water, and it's deadly.
Obviously, there is not much water in it, and the inside of this wooden barrel seems to be seeping water, and it is so heavy that it is dying......
"Huhu...... Whew, "
When I finally returned to the field, I was already tired and sweating profusely.
Hua Yu turned her head and glanced at the eldest lady who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, looking at her embarrassed appearance of wiping sweat, it seemed that her gloomy mood had also changed a little better.
Since she herself offered to help, how could he refuse......
Hua Yu poured a bucket of water without saying a word, and went to the lake with the bucket.
Hua Shi glanced at the ground that had been watered for most of it, turned his head to see that Hua Yu had gone away, and then secretly drew out the spring water in the space, filled the wooden bucket little by little, and sprinkled it into the ground......
There was only a small leaf left unwatered, and when the flowers came back with another bucket, it would be almost enough.
After a while, Hua Yu came back with a bucket of water, and when he saw Hua, he sat on the ridge to wipe his sweat, pulled his lower lip, and didn't say anything.
It's just that the meaning of mockery under the eyes is so full that it almost overflows.
After only one trip, I was half tired to death when I carried half a bucket of water, and it was really ...... The same people don't have the same fate.
Hua Shi watched Hua Yu finish watering the last small patch, and looked at the soybeans that were almost ready to be harvested in the field, thinking that the Li family would come to harvest them in the next two days.
Two days earlier, she thought that the Li family would come to collect it, but the flower father was selected for the show, and the Li family was busy and happy, but she forgot about the stubble.
The bitter is still the flowers, and you have to go to the ground every day to water it......
She could have watered the ground with the spring water in the palm of her hand, and the spring water was inexhaustible and had no effect on the plants, but her spring could not be known to the second person, and it was obviously inappropriate to use it to water the ground.
She only turned her mind around, and she didn't really want to do it.
After the flower was watered, the flower stood up and asked, "Do you want to go into the mountain now?" Do you still need to water it again today? ”
She estimated that it should have been noon, and although the sun above her head was not as hot as the previous two months, it was also sore from the sun......
"Let's go." Hua Yu tugged at her wet trouser legs, walked out of the field, and answered a sentence, without replying to her next sentence.
Hua Shi saw that he was silent, and his cold and indifferent attitude probably knew that he still wanted it.
At least there is one more trip to water, otherwise the ground will be dry tomorrow, if Li suddenly comes to the field to see that the ground is dry, he will definitely think that he is lazy, he did not water, and he will inevitably be scolded......
"Meow ......"
The black cat that burrowed under the soybean leaves heard the sound of picking up the basket when it was flowering, and staggered out of it.
The freshly watered leaves rubbed their fur wet......
When Hua Yu heard the cat's cry, his eyes were immediately attracted, and his eyes were a little stunned to look at the little guy who was sticking to the flower......
