In the first-for-tat, the behavior of two people poking each other's sore spots caused some harm to each other. As for which is more important...... They each thought they were a little more hit. The two of them were not in the mood to run, and walked back to the village in silence. At this time, the people in the village rose up one after another.

Walking all the way, everyone I met greeted Fu Hang, and the "Fu Zhiqing" in various tones revealed familiarity and closeness. Fu Hang responded sentence by sentence, and by the way, introduced Fang Xu with the relaxed attitude of a master. Fang Xu was calm on the surface, but his actual mood was slowly declining. At the gate of Zhao Ke's house, Yu Xiulan walked out with a hoe.

"Teacher Yu."

Fu Hang and Fang Xu spoke almost at the same time.

Yu Xiulan saw the two of them and was a little strange, "Why did you two get together? Got out for a walk?" After she finished asking, she subconsciously looked at Fu Hang, waiting for his answer.

Fu Hang replied naturally: "When I got up in the morning and saw Comrade Fang, I got to know each other and made an appointment to go around together." Yu Xiulan smiled all over her face, "Turn around, Comrade Fang doesn't know when he will come next time." This is the cliché of guests coming to their homes and greeting each other.

But at this moment, Fang Xu's chest felt like an arrow.

Fu Hang pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Teacher Yu, are you going to the field?" Yu Xiulan nodded.

It's time to turn over the self-reserved land.

There were guests, so she didn't ask Zhao Ke and Zhao Mian sisters to go to work together, she got up quietly alone, and prepared to come back after working for a while. I didn't expect to meet the two of them.

Fu Hang stretched out his hand and took her hoe, "I'm fine, help you turn the floor." Yu Xiulan habitually let go of her hand and asked casually: "Don't delay your reading, right?" Don't delay, I go to the countryside to exercise, I can't sit all the time, it's not good for my body and eyes. "

Yu Xiulan, as a teacher, developed a bit of an occupational disease, and when she heard his words, she nagged: "It's right for you to think so, you have to combine work and rest, you can't always have the same posture, otherwise you will suffer in the future......"

They didn't deliberately ignore Fang Xu, but Fang Xu couldn't interject until this gap, and immediately said, "Teacher Yu, I'll help too

bar.

"No, no, no."

Yu Xiulan's attitude towards him was much more polite at once, and she waved her hand to refuse: "You are a guest, as soon as you come back, how can you be allowed to work......"

Fang Xu was hit by another arrow in the chest. He's a guest, isn't Fu Zhiqing? Or is it ...... Fu Zhiqing is already the future son-in-law that the Zhao family likes and accepts?

Not exactly

In a relationship, Fang Xu suffers from gains and losses in his heart, and on the surface, he has to act as if nothing happened, "It's okay, one more person is faster, I'm idle and idle."

Yu Xiulan's eyes swept over his clothes, "Isn't it a waste to wear such good shoes to the field?" Fang Xu said softly: "It's okay, just go back and brush it."

Yu Xiulan still wanted to refuse.

At this time, Fu Hang said: "Teacher Yu, just let Comrade Fang go, the others haven't gotten up yet, so you can't teach Comrade Fang to stay alone, just right, let's talk to him." "

When Yu Xiulan heard this, it made sense, "That's okay."

Fu Hang looked at Fang Xu, "Comrade Fang does it casually, not reluctantly." Fang Xu was in a bad mood and said lightly, "No."

Fu Hang didn't have a trace of smugness in his expression, but they stood together and talked naturally, as if they were from one country, and he was a complete outsider.

If he's just like a hairy boy, biting indiscriminately without a head, there's not much of a threat.

It's just that Fu Hang doesn't fall behind when he fights for his tongue, and when he doesn't fight for his tongue, he can also let go of his spirit, stabilize his emotions, and reveal the difference between them from his daily life.

When working, Fu Hang is more proficient, after all, he is a young man in the countryside.

Fang Xu didn't use his own shortcomings to compare, he said very calmly that he "hadn't done it", and humbly asked Yu Xiulan how to turn the ground. Yu Xiulan taught him hand-in-hand, chatted casually, and asked him where he worked and what he did.

Fang Xu replied: "Researcher in the factory, some of the work content needs to be kept secret, so I won't tell you." Fu Hang was more sensitive to the word "confidential" and raised his eyes.

Yu Xiulan, a rural woman, was not interested in the content of the work he wanted to keep secret, so she inquired: "How many years have you been working Xiaofang? How much is a month's salary?"

Fang Xu replied honestly: "It's been almost five years, and now it's more than fifty a month." Yu Xiulan was shocked, "Eh, it's amazing to be young."

Fang Xu modestly revealed himself, "You have won the award, at my age, I spend most of my time in the factory, I haven't even had a place to be a partner, my life is boring, my social network is single, and my salary is really not an advantage."

Yu Xiulan praised people with certainty: "Twenty-five years old is not a big one, this salary doesn't prove that you are excellent? It's normal for men to be a few years older, and they know that it hurts when they're older. "

She has a look of regret, why isn't she her son-in-law?

Now, it's Fu Hang's turn to be shot.

Most of his savings were left by his grandmother, and some of them were from his father

Mother sent it to him.

He is in the Zhao Cun'er brigade, and the work he earns is definitely not as good as the salary of Gao Xu, and the shares are all used with savings, which is not considered his personal ability. And in the following time, Fu Hang buried himself in work, Yu Xiulan chatted with Fang Xu, who was not skilled in work, and understood Fang Xu in almost all aspects. Family members, father works, how many houses the family has, education, savings ......

Fang Xu is simply the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of his mother-in-law.

In particular, Master Yu has always taken good care of Zhao Mian and Zhao Ke, and supports Zhao Mian's learning.

If Fang Xu and Zhao Mian can succeed, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely not be bad.

The more Yu Xiulan looked at Fang Xu, the more satisfied she became, and the same was true for Fu Hang.

These two young men, both so good and polite, worked hard to help her turn the ground.

In the past, she was really prejudiced against educated youth.

Yu Xiulan really can't wait for the two of them to become her son-in-law immediately.

Unfortunately, this is not for her to decide.

Yu Xiulan was in a hurry, and there was no way, she couldn't say anything. Their daughter has the right idea, and she, who is a mother, dances noisily on the surface, but in fact can't be influenced at all.

Alas~

It was too uncomfortable, and Yu Xiulan had to change the topic by force. Fu Hang finally didn't have to listen to Fang Xu's merits.

The three of them turned over the ground for about an hour, and at seven o'clock, Yu Xiulan stopped, called it a day, and invited Fu Hang to go to the house for dinner together. Fu Hang declined, "There are many guests, you can't greet you, wait for the guests to leave, I will go over and eat you alone."

"That'll do fine."

The three of them went back, Chen San'er was chopping wood in the yard, and when he saw them, he said to Fu Hang: "Fu Zhiqing, the captain asked you to go and see the walk-behind tractor after eating."

Fu Hang asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen San'er said: "I said that there was a noise somewhere, and I was afraid that there was a problem."

"Okay."

After Fu Hang agreed, he turned his head and invited Fang Xu: "Comrade Fang go over and go around together?"

Instead of leaving him to behave in front of Zhao Ke and her family, it is better to stay in front of him, anyway, he will leave soon.

And Fang Xu thought about it, Zhao Mian would soon return to the commune, it was inconvenient for him to talk to Zhao Mian alone here, and if he stumbled Fu Hang, Fu Hang would not be able to get to Zhao Mian's side.

When he returned to the commune, he and Zhao Mian still had the opportunity to be alone.

So, both of them wanted to trip each other, and both achieved their goals. The sisters made breakfast at home.

Fang Xu

There was dust on his trouser legs, and Zhao Mian learned that he was working in the field, and when he was fetching water, he said in a low voice: "Brother Fang, you are not used to doing farm work, so you don't have to force it."

Her words and Fu Hang's words highly coincided. Fang Xu's mood fluctuated strongly, and he couldn't help but say sourly: "Fu Zhiqing doesn't look like a person who is used to farm work......

Zhao Mian didn't think too much, and replied casually: "Fu Zhiqing always helps my mother with her work, it's easy, Brother Fang, it's your first time here, we can't entertain you well." "

Fang Xu's heart fell into the deep valley at once, not touching the ground.

In the relationship, if you like it first and like it more, you can't help but feel inferior and think about it. He and Fu Zhiqing obviously have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the people around Zhao Mian are more intimate and comfortable with Fu Zhiqing.

And just like Fu Zhiqing said, he and Zhao Mian are too far away....

On the other end, Yu Xiulan instructed Zhao Ke to send a dish to Fu Hang.

When Fu Hang saw her, he pretended not to care and asked her, "What do you think of Comrade Fang?"

Men and women look at men differently, Zhao Ke asked him rhetorically: "I heard my mother say that you went out together in the morning, from the perspective of a gay man, what do you think of him?"

Knowing that he liked her, he actually came to ask him about another man...

Fu Hangxin seemed to be grasped, kneaded vigorously, and said sullenly: "Of course it's not bad, the family background, character, appearance, and upbringing are not bad, there is no prejudice against the countryside, and there is ...... respect for Teacher Yu."

Zhao Ke nodded thoughtfully, "In fact, the most important thing is character and upbringing, and you can see from Master Yu's personality that her son is roughly like."

Fu Hang: "......" really doesn't care about his mood at all.

After the meal, Fu Hang and Fang Xu, who met again, looked at each other and hated each other. The two of them were not even more interested in talking to each other, and the atmosphere lingered in silence. Chen San'er walked between the two, looking left and right, not knowing why.

There is nothing wrong with the walk-behind tractor, but it is stuck, but the people in the village dare not touch it, so they look for Fu Hang. Fu Hang taught them to clean up, oil them, and start the tractor again, so there was no strange sound.

"Fu Zhiqing!"

On the edge of the pigsty, a group of children were piling up sand and waving vigorously at Fu Hang. Fu Hang and Fang Xu walked over.

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at Fang Xu curiously, pointed to the sand road they were digging, and asked Fu Hang: "Fu Zhiqing, after you told us before, we pasted wood chips on the bend, and the sand road is not easy to be washed away by water, but the bottom is getting higher and higher, and we have to dig all the time, it's annoying, you can help us take a look."

Clay kiln

In the process of burning bricks, it is inevitable that there will be some burned bricks, cracked but intact bricks, which cannot be sold to sauerkraut factories, and some non-load-bearing walls can be used when they build schools.

Bricks split in half, intended to be used to build the ground floor fence of the new pigsty.

Those that are more broken, Zhao Cun'er's brigade is also distinguished, the larger ones are kept for filling, and the smaller ones are paved. This sand is prepared for the construction of a new pigsty.

After the weather warmed up, Niu Xiaoqiang's new entertainment method was to play with sand.

At the beginning, they inserted a small stick and picked up sand from each other, and whoever picked up the stick fell first and lost.

Later, it became a random pile, from you to pile a big sandbag, I to pile a small sandbag to develop into a shape, a pile of people, a pile of houses, a pile of animals...

Once, Niu Xiaoqiang brought a basin of water from home,

It becomes a simulated operation, and the reference map is the blueprint for the future planning of the Zhao Cuner Brigade, and the village farmland and rivers have everything.

This map has been hanging in the big library outside the village, and the whole village can see it, Niu Xiaoqiang and they copied it in order to play with the sand, and they also made a small hand-cranked waterwheel, which ran decently.

But the river channel they made of sand has nine twists and eighteen bends, which is more complicated than the canal of Zhao Cun'er's brigade, and there have always been problems.

Water seeps directly under the sand; The water flow has a large impulse, and the corners will collapse; The sand of the sand road accumulates higher and higher, and it spreads on both sides if you are not careful....

"I put a few wooden planks on the barricade, and it didn't take long for the sand to pile up in front of the planks."

Niu Xiaoqiang pointed to one of the planks he had erected with annoyance, the sand in front of him was almost as high as the plank, not only blocking the water outlet below, but the water would soon overflow from above.

How can you separate the sand from the water?

Fang Xu stood aside, staring at the small waterwheel and the sand road with the constant flow of water, slightly surprised. The children of this village, are they so playful?

Fu Hang squatted beside him, only telling them the general reasons for the formation and some of the experiences of others he knew, but could not provide them with solutions.

He's always done that, whether he knows the solution or not, he just tries to tell them why, and let them toss around. After listening to this, Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head and muttered to a group of friends to discuss solutions. Fang Xu looked at Fu Hang.

His guidance is completely easy and easy, obviously not a simple stunned young man. Zhao Mian used to be a teacher, and they may have had a lot of exchanges in this regard... Fang Xu's mood was heavier, and his sense of crisis was higher.

On the side, the children suddenly argued-

/> "My approach is better." "Do as I say! Press mine!

Why, do it my way first! Niu Xiaoqiang! Mo Hao!

Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Hao didn't let anyone, with the two of them as the leader, the children were divided into two groups and confronted each other. Fu Hang frowned, "Don't make any noise."

His voice was not loud, but the children instantly fell silent, and immediately called him to judge. Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Hao thought of the method of "diversion".

But Niu Xiaoqiang is to dig two river channels, make a movable baffle at the mouth of the river, when the sand accumulates to a certain extent, the baffle side moves back, like a door opening and closing, artificially changing the flow direction of the water, guiding the water flow to wash the accumulated sand, so that the fool flows out along a certain side of the waterway, and then pulls it back again after the sand is discharged.

Mo Hao had to dig tree-like canals along the river, stretching like branches, and then digging fruit-like cisterns on each branch. Niu Xiaoqiang said that his method is mechanized, and the sand can flow away.

Mo Hao said that his method can store water for irrigation, and the sand can be easily dug out to build a house.

Both of them used immature words to argue over and over again around one of their own opinions, and the other children also found reasons to help, fighting for their faces and thick necks, and asked Fu Hang to comment.

Fang Xu looked at Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Hao, their organization and vocabulary really didn't look like an ordinary country child, or even like a child of their age.

There are other people who are busy in the middle of the day......... Is this Zhao Mian's hometown?

Fu Hang didn't comment on which of the two people's method was right and whose method was wrong, but said: "You can try it separately, don't you know, you don't have to fight for a piece of sand."

The most important thing that Zhao Cun'er's brigade lacks now is sediment.

Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Hao couldn't compete with each other, and they couldn't grab it, so they finally agreed to pile it up again. Fu Zhiqing, do you want to come with me? Niu Xiaoqiang's brain turned quickly and invited strong foreign aid.

Mo Hao is in a hurry, Niu Xiaoqiang, you are cheating!

Niu Xiaoqiang crossed his waist and was righteous, who was cheating? Fu Zhiqing is the technical guide!

"Then I also want Fu Zhiqing's technical guidance."

Fu Hang maintained a half-squatting posture and looked sideways at Fang Xu, there was no special meaning in Fu Hang's eyes, and he seemed to be inviting battle, "Comrade Fang, do you want to try?

Of course, Fang Xu would not be afraid, "Okay."

Fu Hang told the children that Fang Xu was very

A literate researcher, and then let Fang Xu choose first, who will be the technical guide. Fang Xuqian, I can do it. "Then Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Haoxuan."

Niu Xiaoqiang and Mo Hao rock-paper-scissors, Mo Haoying, Mo Hao first chose Fu Hang, who was more familiar and trusted, and Fang Xu automatically became Niu Xiaoqiang's technical guide.

Because of the addition of Fu Hang and Fang Xu, the game of stacking sand has become more rigorous.

And because the sand pile is piled up according to Zhao Cun'er's planning blueprint, they are not treated as a game, but really as a simulation.

Of course, there is another reason that they all know.

Two well-dressed adults with a group of children piled up the sand very seriously. When the members of Zhao Cun'er passed by, they couldn't help but take a few more looks, and whispered-

is such an adult, why do you still play with the sand with the doll? Aren't the people in the city very particular?" Let's go, let's not see it, so they won't be embarrassed........."

The members left in a hurry.

Fu Hang and Fang Xu didn't notice their strange eyes at all, and they focused as if they were doing some major experiment.

Both of them rolled up their sleeves, and they piled up the sand meticulously like a competition, and they didn't care at all if the sand was on their watches. A group of children also seemed to be doing something big, with serious expressions.

Zhao Ke, Zhao Mian, and Xiaowen came over, and what they saw was such a scene.

Brother Fang?

Fu Zhiqing?

Zhao Ke and Zhao Mian spoke together.

Fu Hang and Fang Xu froze at the same time, and turned back at the same time. Zhao Ke and Zhao Mian looked at them strangely.

Xiaowen is hard to say, "Man...... It's naïve...... "It's not like that....

Fu Hang and Fang Xu still had sand on their hands, and they were unconvincing. Fang Xu: "Zhao Mian...... Fu Hang: "Zhao Ke......"

The two men slapped the sand off their hands and stood up, trying to save their image.

Wait a minute!

Who is he shouting?

Fang Xu and Fu Hang looked at each other sharply.

Fang Xu: "Zhao Mian."

Fu Hang: "Zhao Ke."

The two men whispered the name they had just called, and once again fell into a deeper silence.

A huge embarrassment enveloped the two of them like a dark cloud.

They were so wrong

Table......

So the question is, is it more embarrassing to admit that they are playing with sand, or is it more embarrassing to admit that they misunderstood each other as rivals in love?

Fu Hang couldn't help but mock: "Your experience and experience are indeed very meager."

Fang Xu threw him two words: naïve.

Fu Hang: Heh.

Fang Xu showed his mature and steady side, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it."

He doesn't need to be reminded, how can such a shameful thing be said? Definitely rotten in the stomach for a lifetime! But the crisis was lifted, the previous worries were gone, and Fu Hang couldn't help but be happy, Zhao Ke! Fang Xu also looked at Zhao Mian, and the low air pressure completely dissipated.

"You're building sand with the kids?"

Fang Xu brushed off the sand on his hands, not wanting her to think that he was unreliable, and explained with a little trepidation: "We're just idle...... it's okay" Zhao Mian looked at the sand table on the ground curiously, and asked: "It's so beautiful, can I be together?" Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then his gaze softened, "Of course." The children were also happy for them to join in, urging them to "hurry up".

Zhao Mian squatted down and asked softly how to pile it. Niu Xiaoqiang said with a small mouth, Zhao Mian listened intently, and according to his request, he gathered up the sand pile and compacted it.

Fang Xu's eyes fell on her, becoming softer and softer.

Zhao Ke is much more proficient, rolled up his sleeves and joined directly, and beckoned Xiaowen to come along, Don't miss the opportunity, you don't have to play when you go back to the commune. Xiaowen thought about it, what is naivety? Happiness is the most important thing, and he ran to her with joy, "I'm coming!" The team grew, and the members of Zhao Cun'er passed by again and glanced at it. It's Director Zhao.

It's okay to look at it twice, Director Zhao won't be embarrassed.

Niu Xiaoqiang, Mo Hao and a group of children have a strong sense of victory and defeat, and they care very much about whose method can divide sand and water. Zhao Ke and the three of them were concentrating on piling sand and having a good time.

And Fu Hang and Fang Xu, if they hadn't always avoided eye contact with each other, and no longer had any verbal communication with each other, this oolong would indeed have no effect on the two of them at all.

At noon, Yu Xiulan and Master Yu came to call them back for dinner, and saw that the Zhao Ke sisters were covered in sand with the guests, and endured and endured, without pulling their daughter's ears in front of the guests.

Master Yu was a little surprised, he didn't expect his always steady sons Fang Xu and Zhao Mian to be so childlike.

r />

In fact, Zhao Mian also had feelings about Fang Xu's "playing with sand".

The reliable and erudite image in the letter and the image in Zhao Cun'er merged into a more three-dimensional and real person.

Zhao Cun'er is really a litmus test, how he looks at Zhao Cun'er and how he treats Zhao Cun'er's people can prove whether he respects her from the bottom of his heart.

In the afternoon, Master Yu, Fang Xu, Xiaowen, and Zhao Mian were about to leave Zhao Village. Zhao Ke, Yu Xiulan, and Fu Hang saw them off.

Master Yu is going back to the provincial capital, this time goodbye, I don't know when it will be next time.

You don't have to go to the commune to see me off, this time apart, there will be a better reunion. Master Yu took the initiative to hug Zhao Ke, "I'm really happy to meet you, and I'm also very happy to come to Zhao Village to have a look."

Zhao Ke hugged her back, I should have been a little annoying before, thank you for not being prejudiced and tireless.

You don't annoy people, but at that time I thought you were wasting your talents, wasting time, and hated you more than steel.

The two of them separated, Zhao Ke didn't want the separation to be too heavy, and said with a smile: "I know, you are a cherisher."

It's a pity for people.

As an elder, I am happy to see her grow and progress, and I hope that she will go farther and brighter.

But I was a little afraid, afraid that she would be frustrated and slumped, afraid that she would go astray and fold halfway, afraid that her vigorous vitality would one day fall silent and turn from a pearl to a fish.

Master Yu looked at Zhao Ke, If you go to the provincial capital again, you must tell me, and we will meet. She wanted to witness Zhao Ke's growth.

After Fu Hang and Fang Xu looked at each other, they invariably opened their eyes. Don't say hello to people who don't know each other. There is no need to say goodbye, and it is best not to see each other again for a short time.
