Chapter 162: Recruiting a son-in-law
"Why don't the people in front of you smash the ice? Let's move forward little by little? Someone in the village said.
Walking in the forefront, Zhao Xiang picked up the hammer and smashed the ice, sliding back and forth on the broken ice with the sole of his shoe.
"But how much does it take to smash all the way like this?"
Zhao Xiang put a lot of effort into smashing the ice with a hammer, and it was okay to smash it for a day or two. If you keep smashing it, your bones will shake and hurt.
Ye Sang was bandaging the wounds of the injured man and glanced at the ice on the ground.
Modern people remove snow in the city in winter, they all sprinkle salt, and the snow shovel walks through, and there is no snow on the road.
In the countryside, every household sweeps the snow in front of the door, and the snow on the road depends on the consciousness of the villagers, otherwise it will not melt for ten days and half a month.
Escape from the ancient famine? You can't walk on the snow with salt yet......
Ye Sang looked at the surrounding woods and suddenly remembered something.
She was about to speak, but she saw that Murong Yanxi asked Uncle Feng and Uncle Zhu to bring a bag of soil to the front and sprinkle all the soil on the road.
With the dirt, the road is barely walkable.
Seeing this, the people of the village also ran to the nearby woods, and the family dug up a bag of soil and threw it on their small cart.
When the first bag of soil was sprinkled, the first family stepped aside and stood at the end of the line. The second family went to the front and continued to sprinkle the soil. This was repeated until the Rizheng family walked at the front of the village again.
It was already dark, and the people of Zhaojia Village chose a sheltered location on the mountain to station.
After dinner, he was discussing his itinerary for tomorrow morning with the people of the village.
"Tomorrow's road is not expected to be easy, and some tree roots and stones that have been distorted by the earthquake are still on the road. So one person from the family took turns to move the stones in front of him. ”
As if that weren't enough, the villagers prepared sacks of soil that night and kept them for the next day to scatter on the road.
After explaining this, every family is ready to sleep.
"Powerful, tomorrow's work, I'll give it to you, right?"
What she has to do tomorrow is hard work, and Wang Cuihua wants to push a small cart to help the village open the road, and it is logical for Zhao Lili to do it.
"Me?"
Zhao Lili pointed to the heels of his arms and ears, and said sharply.
"Mother, I look like this, don't you think it's shameful enough? Are you going to let me go and show off in front of the whole village? ”
"But you are the only man in the family, your daughter-in-law and sister-in-law are comfortable, and Zhao Ying doesn't have much strength. Besides, every family is a man who contributes. ”
Wang Cuihua said, and Zhao Ying looked up at Zhao Lili.
Since breaking up with Zhao Fu, Zhao Lili has relied on Wang Cuihua's love and Honghong's instigation, and has been domineering at home and has done nothing.
Right now, when there is tiring and dirty work at home, Zhao Lili won't say that he wants her to work, right?
Sure enough, Zhao Lili pouted: "Just let Zhao Ying go." ”
After speaking, Zhao Lili glanced at Zhao Ying thoughtfully.
"If you don't want to do it, recruit a son-in-law! Anyway, you should get married, find someone who has a lot of strength, dead parents, let him work for you, and be filial to your mother by the way. ”
"Second brother, what did you say?"
Zhao Ying's eyes were red, she looked at Zhao Lili, and then looked at Wang Cuihua's reaction.
"Mother, you don't want me to find someone to marry, do you?"
Zhao Ying and Zhao Xiaowei were in love before, but now Zhao Xiaowei wants to marry his sister-in-law, and the person is dead.
The remaining school-age men in the village, she didn't like it at all.
"How could my mother do this. But Zhao Ying, you still have to go to the village tomorrow. ”
Wang Cuihua comforted Zhao Ying, but felt that Zhao Lili's words were a little interesting.
If she recruits a son-in-law for Zhao Ying, won't anyone do all these big and small jobs in the family?
Wang Cuihua thought about it, thinking about the men of the right age in the village, and worked hard to choose.
After all, if you want to agree to join the family, you have to have a few sons in the family, who are poor, honest and easy to bully, and it is better if the parents die......
Finally, Wang Cuihua remembered such a family, and hurried out of the tent while it was dark.
Behind her, a sneaky figure quietly followed.
After Zhao Erye returned to his house, he kept walking around the small cart, and dangled around the wheel with a piece of wood.
Ye Sang came out of the tent and happened to see this scene.
"Dad, is there something wrong with the wheels of the cart?"
Seeing that it was Ye Sang, Zhao Erye smiled, hid his hand behind him again, and stopped talking again.
Ye Sang also squatted down and saw that on both sides of the load-bearing axle position of the wheels of the small cart, there were two more small pieces of wood, and a thin rope was tied to both ends of the small pieces of wood.
Ye Sang took the fire fold again and looked closer, and Second Master Zhao smiled embarrassedly.
"I saw that after the soil was sprinkled during the day, people still slipped and fell. I wondered if the wheels could be slowed down, would no one skate. ”
Zhao Erye pointed to the small pieces of wood on the wheels, but he hadn't figured it out yet, was it right to do this.
"Dad, these two pieces of wood can actually be connected to the handlebars."
Zhao Erye's idea made Ye Sang think of the braking method of bicycles and electric vehicles, and they were the same.
"Is that okay?"
Zhao Erye looked at the position that Ye Sang pointed to him, as well as the fixed position of the wood chips, nodded while watching, and found the wood chips again that night and tried again.
Ye Sang accompanied Zhao Erye, and after the brakes of the trolley were done, the two of them also found a position with a slope and tried it.
"If you go downhill this way, you won't drop everything out of the cart."
Second Master Zhao said happily.
When people push things on a trolley downhill, they generally rely on their own arm strength to pull back, and they must also use force under their feet, and they must not slip.
If it slips, the car will roll over.
However, if the wheels of the trolley can be braked, this problem can be largely avoided.
This matter, if you inform the village.
Thinking of this, Second Master Zhao stopped talking, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Ye Sang guessed Second Master Zhao's thoughts and persuaded: "Dad, you can tell Li Zheng." Don't worry, it's a good thing for the people in the village. ”
"But I'm afraid I'm not doing it right."
Second Master Zhao sighed: "I'm not afraid that the people in the village will target me, I'm mainly afraid that they will bully my family." ”
There are many people in Zhaojia Village, and there are many rights and wrongs in places with many people.
Be good to the people in the village, they must be happy. But if something is wrong, those people's mouths will not spare anyone.
"Dad, if you don't worry, you can wait until tomorrow after a day of trying, and then decide whether to tell the people in the village."
Ye Sang did not forcibly advise Second Master Zhao, and let Second Master Zhao push the cart back to the tent.
She was going to the woods to feed the monkeys, but as soon as she reached the woods, she heard the screams of people behind her.
"Ahh Something hit me! ”
