The road conditions were not good, and the road was long, Zhao Ke and the others got up early in the morning, rushed for a day, almost never stopped, and finally returned to Zhao Village before dark.

The deafening throttle of the pickup van broke the silence of the village. The road in the village is too narrow, and it is inconvenient for trucks to enter, so they stop under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Zhao Feng was in the car body, and he was not in a hurry to get down, and greeted the women below. The little piglets were snorting, and the women tiptoed into the car to look—

"Hey, see, they're all pigs." "It's the first time I've seen so many piglets." "How many are there?" And a calf!"

On the way, there were also many members who were attracted by the sound of the accelerator.

Zhao Ke, as the only weak chicken on this trip, was treated as a cab. The driver opened the door and jumped out of the car, opened the passenger door for Zhao Ke, and asked her, "Comrade Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Ke waved his hand, politely refused his support, and slowly climbed out of the car, his feet were still a little soft when he landed, and he had to hold on to the car to stand firmly.

The road is too bad.

It's better to ride a bicycle than to ride a bicycle, and it's tiring to ride a bicycle, so you can control your body in your own hands, and at most you will go up and down your buttocks. She sat in the truck, shaking up and down, left and right, and her brain was about to shake evenly.

There is also the smell of diesel, which completely pickled Zhao Ke, and Zhao Ke suspected that if there was a fire trigger, she could ignite it immediately.

Zhao Ke carried her swollen feet, supported the front of the car and circled, and sat under the old locust tree. Stay away, the taste is much fresher.

"Don't be sassy." Zhao Ke beckoned to the four people on the body, "Catch the pig first." Zhao Ke turned around, the ground behind the old locust tree was flattened, and now it is still flat, and there is not even a shed.

Where do you put the pig?

Zhao Xinshan hurried over and answered her doubts, "Send it to the brigade first, raise it in the warehouse for a while, and wait for the pigsty to be covered, and then move it over." "

Zhao Village is closed, few outsiders come, and the whole village is out of the village for a little bit of excitement. The members of the club rushed to hold the piglets, and more than 30 were not enough points.

Zhao Xinshan arranged for the driver to stay at his house tonight, and greeted Zhao Ke before leaving: "Your aunt has prepared a meal, and you will all go to my house to eat tonight." "

Zhao Ke nodded, "I'll sit for a while and go over for a while." ”

The adults followed them to work in the warehouse, and the children all circled around the truck. They had never seen a wagon, and they stretched out their little hands to touch them in a particularly novel way, exclaiming as they touched them—

"It's so big!"

> "Is the truck covered in iron bumps?"

Niu Xiaoqiang also turned around and asked Zhao Ke: "Teacher Zhao, how fast does it run?"

Zhao Ke explained to them with facts: "It takes about four hours to drive the ox cart into the commune, but the truck only takes more than an hour, and because there are piglets, it does not drive faster." "

The children exclaimed, "Wow-"

The northern part of the country is vast and sparsely populated, and it is common for villages to be separated by more than ten or twenty miles.

Among the 20 production brigades in Shuangshan Commune, Zhao Village is not the farthest production brigade from Shuangshan Commune, there are nearly 50 miles of land, and there are several production teams that are much farther than Zhao Village.

The whole road is dirt and potholes.

In the village, too, if it rains, you have to wade through muddy water when you go out, which is dirty and difficult to walk. The rubber soles on Zhao Ke's feet rubbed twice on the ground, and a mark appeared on the ash. The road is so bad...

She was thinking about things here, and suddenly the kids stopped moving.

Once the child is particularly stopped, he will inevitably be a demon.

Zhao Ke raised his eyes and saw that the group of bastards were all hanging on the car body like monkeys, climbing up. Niu Xiaoqiang was even more excessive, he let the roots of the tree support him and climbed up from the front of the car.

Zhao Ke: ".. … You can't shout, if you scare them, you will fall and hurt yourself.

So Zhao Ke endured it until the center of gravity of the children on the car body tilted into the car body, and then he said: "Don't be Tao, hurry down!"

The children were already sneaky, teaching Zhao Ke to shout, startled, and two of them were planted directly and pressed on the pig dung. The two children were stunned for a while, realized the current situation, and shook them off in disgust, still smelling of feces. The children around him pointed at them and laughed.

The two children wept in shame.

Zhao Ke walked to the front of the car, pulled down Niu Xiaoqiang who was sitting on it, and then taught the children on the car body: "It's getting dark, don't you go home yet, wait to be beaten?"

The two children twitched and played, and the other children laughed and all climbed down.

Zhao Ke drove them and walked to the village together.

They are going to separate at the intersection, Niu Xiaoqiang's house has arrived, the roots of the tree are to the west, Zhao Ke has to go south, and the other children can go anywhere. Zhao Ke grabbed Niu Xiaoqiang's ears, "You are not allowed to be naughty with tree roots, you know?"

Niu Xiaoqiang "eh" screamed in pain, and defended: "What naughty, we have a good time, I don't believe you ask the roots!" Zhao Ke looked at the roots of the tree.

The roots of the tree smirked.

Zhao Ke shook his head helplessly

pinched Niu Xiaoqiang's ears, "You are the boss, you have to lead the younger brothers to progress, just playing is not a qualified boss." "

"How do you make progress? Study?" Niu Xiaoqiang's face was full of resistance, "I've finished my homework." "

The current primary school curriculum is really small in content, and children study in school for five years, which is more like someone watching this group of naughty bags, which is actually quite a waste of time.

Zhao Ke asked them, "Nothing curious?" Come and ask me, and I'll tell you. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was really curious, and asked excitedly: "Can you also talk about martial arts secrets?" Martial Arts Cheats......

Zhao Ke was speechless for a moment, did not veto their whimsy, and nodded affirmatively, "Martial arts cheats can also be told." "It's a big deal to talk about physical fitness, health preservation, maybe it's nonsense, and you can recruit a few elementary school apprentices for her father. Niu Xiaoqiang listened to her promise, and went home with the tree roots to get it.

Zhao Ke stopped him, "Tomorrow, I've just come back, let me take a breath." ”br />

All right~

Niu Xiaoqiang hadn't had enough fun outside, so he waved his hand reluctantly and went home.

Zhao Ke turned to the root of the tree, raised his hand and wanted to pat his head, and suddenly found that he seemed to have grown up, and he gestured between the two, he really grew up, and if he grew taller, I had to tiptoe to touch your head.

And the roots of the tree stooped down, and brought their heads to her hands, and let her touch them.

Zhao Ke smiled and rubbed his head, "The roots of the tree have been very clean recently, it's really good, let's go home quickly." The tree roots stood up straight, waved at her like Niu Xiaoqiang just now, and then trotted away.

Zhao Ke was in a good mood and walked to Zhao Xinshan's house.

At dinner, Zhao Xinshan warmly entertained the drivers of the pig farm and asked them a lot about what they had seen and heard. Zhao Ke didn't talk much, it was all Zhao Rui and the four of them talking, and they couldn't stop it at all. However, they spoke very vividly, and many members came to listen. After Zhao Ke finished eating, he couldn't bear it, so he went home first.

Yu Xiulan thought she had a strong smell, so she boiled a pot of water for her and rubbed it up and down before letting her go back to the house to sleep. Zhao Ke fell asleep on the kang, and even Zhao Feng was scalded by his mother when he came back, but he didn't hear it.

Early the next morning, Niu Xiaoqiang brought tree roots and a group of children to find Zhao Ke.

Yu Xiulan put her fingers in front of her mouth, "shhhhh Niu Xiaoqiang, they had to leave.

Golden nest and silver nest, don't live in his own home's soil nest, Zhao Ke slept very soundly this night, and when he woke up, he looked at his watch, and it was over

After noon.

Zhao Ke stretched his waist and walked out of the house, and at a glance he saw the skeleton of the house on the east side, and was surprised: "It's only been a few days, and the beams have been erected?"

Zhao Feng got out of his house and said, "If you don't go to work and work every day, it is estimated that the walls will be built." ”

Under the scorching sun, someone was working, and Zhao Ke didn't feel hungry now, so he scooped a bucket of cold water and walked over.

Chang Shan was also building the wall, saw Zhao Ke, and talked to her with a smile: "Director Zhao, are you resting?"

Zhao Ke picked up the gourd and scooped a scoop of water and handed it to him, joking: "I'm lazy, I'm not secretive at all." ”

Chang Shan said with a smile: It's not Teacher Yu yet, I can't wait for the passing house sparrows to be quiet.

The other two members, Kong Laoliu and Yang Daniu, also laughed, "No, let us work a little quietly, saying that you are tired of working for the production team."

She slept heavier than a pig, and she couldn't hear a sound at all, Comrade Yu Xiulan's behavior was really a bit overbearing. However, having a mother's child is a treasure, the corners of Zhao Ke's mouth rose, and he asked them to come over and drink water.

Kong Laoliu and Yang Daniu put down the things in their hands and walked over. Zhao Ke looked left and right, why didn't he see Brother Xu? Chang Shan said: "It's hot, he doesn't come over at noon, and he only comes in the evening." ”

Yang Daniu said: "Fu Zhiqing, the owner of the house, didn't come over, it is better to have a female intellectuals surnamed Fang come to Qin." After he finished speaking, he and Kong Lao Liu smiled a little meaningfully, Zhao Ke saw it, and didn't ask, and when they finished drinking the water, they went back.

She ate a little food, and was going to go to the team committee again tomorrow, but when she was sitting behind her desk and tidying up the table, she suddenly saw the registration form for midwife training, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to get this thing.

Zhao Ke took the brochure and the registration newspaper and went to Mrs. Qian's house.

Mrs. Qian's house is next to Zhao Jianfa's house, and there is a wooden rocking chair under the eaves, on which sits an old man with gray hair, smoking and drinking water leisurely.

Zhao Ke knocked on the door of the courtyard and shouted, "Is it Grandpa Qian?" Is Grandma Qian at home?"

The old man opened one eye and saw that it was Zhao Ke, and asked in an unpleasant tone: "You women's director, what are you doing with my old woman?"

Zhao Ke raised the booklet in his hand and said with a good attitude: "I am here for the midwife." ”

When the old man heard this, he said impatiently: "She is so old, what else is she delivering, if she is not unlucky enough, don't look for her." ”

According to Zhao Ke's understanding, Mrs. Qian did not help people deliver babies to supplement the family in her early years, but now she is unlucky.

Zhao Ke remained silent

Se said: "After all, Grandma Qian is a senior, I have to rearrange someone to be a midwife, so I have to talk to grandma."

The old man said, "I just need to know." ”

Zhao Ke smiled and did not move.

The old man pulled his face, knocked the edge of the table a few times with the cigarette stick, and turned back and shouted: "Looking for you, I haven't come out yet." ”

After a while, a thin old lady appeared in the door, holding two children in front of her back, before stepping out of the threshold, she bent down to support the child behind her, stood up slightly and lifted the child in front of her chest.

From beginning to end, the old man didn't even look at it, let alone take a hand.

Mrs. Qian's face was extremely deep, she walked up to Zhao Ke, lowered her head and said lifelessly: "I have a lot of life at home, I don't give birth, whatever you want."

Zhao Ke's eyes swept over her dry and rough hand, and he stretched out his hand, "Why don't I help hold the child, I still have something to ask you about the midwife."

Mrs. Qian refused, "No, you can't hold it." ”

Zhao Ke couldn't stand and talk endlessly with an old man with a load, so he could only ask a few simple questions and say goodbye. Next door, Zhao Xiaocao hissed twice, beckoned Zhao Ke over, and asked Zhao Ke: Sister, what are you doing at Qian's house? Zhao Ke didn't hide it and told her.

Zhao Xiaocao tugged on her sleeve and approached and said: "The Qian family has a lot of work, her two sons and daughters-in-law go to work, and the family has nothing to do, all of which are done by Grandma Qian."

Zhao Ke turned his head sideways and glanced at the courtyard of the Qian family, "So old, won't my son and daughter-in-law help?"

"I heard the dead old man scold, saying that Grandma Qian is not dead, it is useless, so she has to do the work of the family, otherwise it is better to die." Zhao Xiaocao pursed her lips disdainfully, "Her son and daughter-in-law didn't even see it, they didn't say anything, and they also shouted at her." ”

She is the mother of the whole family!
