Chapter 4 Shake the water

"Xiaoyang, go downstairs and bring some water, there is no water in the tank!"

Seeing Zhao Yang come out, Zhao's mother stuck her head out of the kitchen and said.

"Hey!" Zhao Yang replied, and went downstairs with two buckets.

While going downstairs, I looked at the inner city in the distance, and my eyes were full of envy, it would be good if I lived in the inner city, where every household has running water and electricity, where is it so hard to climb the stairs to carry water......

"Squeak!"

As soon as I went down to the second floor, I saw a door open next to me, and a middle-aged man wearing a jacket and trousers, shiny hair, and a briefcase in his hand walked out.

"Director Wu is going out!" Zhao Yang greeted with a smile.

"Hmm!" Hearing Zhao Yang's voice, Director Wu nodded proudly, lifted his somewhat obvious double chin, and slowly walked downstairs step by step, his leather shoes on the stairs, making a loud "Huohuo" sound.

Zhao Yang followed behind Director Wu, pulling the corners of his mouth helplessly, this staircase is not wide, Director Wu walked slowly in the middle step by step, without the slightest intention of giving way, he could only follow behind and slowly go downstairs.

When I finally walked downstairs, there was a cry from the yard: "Dad, remember to bring me a cake!"

"You know how to eat all day long!"

Director Wu turned his head to look at a young man who looked quite similar to him who was shaking water next to the old-fashioned well in the courtyard, and scolded lightly before snorting: "Help your mother work at home, your father and I will rush to the inner city to see Councilor Cui, and bring you a cream when the time comes!"

"Inner City, creamy, it must be creamy!" the boy replied excitedly.

Director Wu said, stretched out his hand to put the briefcase under his armpit, shyly walked outside, and met neighbors to greet him along the way, all nodded irrationally, arrogantly tight.

Looking at Director Wu's long back, several neighbors looked at the young man with envy and said, "Wu Ming, if Councilor Cui signs it, I'm afraid your family will be able to move to the inner city!"

"Hmph..... Isn't it?" Wu Ming snorted proudly and said, "When my family moves into the inner city, there will be electricity and water at home, so I won't have to go downstairs to fetch water every day!"

After speaking, Wu Ming shook the water vigorously again.

It's just that he stopped for a while and shook again, and the iron lid on the shaker and the shaker made a pleasant "bell" sound, but the water at the spout was getting less and less, and after a while, he heard the "hissing" sound of air coming from the shaker, and no more water flowed out.

"Wipe!" Seeing that it was just half a bucket of water that had just been shaken out, Wu Ming scolded unwillingly, and just when he saw Zhao Yang coming, he sneered proudly: "There is no water!"

"Ah, there is no water?" Zhao Yang was startled, and strode over, if there was no water, then he would have to go to the cliff on the edge of the city to fetch water, but he would have to go far.

"I guess there's no water!"

Aunt Zhang, who was washing vegetables on the first floor next to her, looked up, and while washing vegetables, she also shook her head and sighed: "Now there are more and more people in our neighborhood, all of whom rely on drilling wells to get water, and in the morning it is the peak season for water pumping, so the natural groundwater is getting less and less, and it is estimated that it will take a few more hours to get it." ”

Looking at Zhao Yang's rapidly gloomy face, Wu Ming gloated and smiled: "You better go to the cliff to fetch water honestly!"

While talking, Wu Ming transferred most of the barely beaten half of the bucket of water to another bucket, and then left with two buckets, and laughed mockingly: "A poor man is still so squeamish, he gets up so late, where can he still get water......?

"It's your business!"

Zhao Yang snorted lightly, this guy couldn't get along with himself when he was a child, since he failed the entrance exam of Shandong University, this guy has become more and more unpleasant to his eyes, and he has nothing to do to find trouble for himself.

In the past two years, he has relied on his son to get a position in the government, and he is even more embarrassed, and everyone is disgusted.

Watching this disgusting guy leave, Zhao Yang looked at the rocking well, thinking that he was going to the cliff to fetch water, which was a headache, and finally he was unwilling to carry the bucket and put it at the water outlet.

In addition, he carried a little water that had been prepared in the bucket, poured it into the shaker of the rocking well, and then grabbed the handle vigorously and shook it.

Hearing the "hissing" negative pressure suction sound coming from inside, Zhao Yang muttered: "Go to the water, hurry up and get into the water!"

It's just that after shaking it three or four times, the diversion water has almost flowed, but there is still no water coming out of it; Zhao Yang couldn't help but be a little disappointed, sure enough, there was no water.

It's just that he is still unwilling to continue to shake hard, hoping to bring water, and he is about to go to the edge of the cliff to fetch water, which will be exhausting.

Wu Ming, who had just walked up to the second floor next to him, could hear the voice below, stretched out his head and smiled: "Zhao Yang, don't dream, there's no water!"

With that, he continued to walk upstairs.

"Shut up, Wu Ming!"

Zhao Yang raised his head and raised his hand to gesture with a middle finger, but his right hand was still unwilling to continue to shake it violently, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Go to the water, go to the water, I don't want to go to the cliff to pick up water!"

With his shout, suddenly Zhao Yang felt his brain twitch, as if he had touched something, and then he felt his hand sink.

"Huh?" Just wondering, feeling this familiar feel, Zhao Yang was surprised, and he was happy: "It's on the water!"

I didn't think much about it at the moment, and quickly shook it vigorously.

With the vigorous shaking of the crank, only a "hula" sound was heard, and water poured into the shaker instantly, and then along the water outlet, the clear water wave flowed into Zhao Yang's bucket.

Seeing the water flowing out, Aunt Zhang, who had already finished washing the dishes next to her, was slightly stunned, why is this water again?

Wu Ming, who had just climbed to the third floor, was stunned when he heard the sound of running water below, stretched out his head and looked down, and sure enough, he saw that Zhao Yang was shaking happily, and the water in the shaker was flowing into Zhao Yang's bucket continuously.

"Is there water?" Wu Ming was stunned, looked down at the majority of the bucket of water in his hand, and looked up at his home, which was still two floors up, and only hesitated slightly, and then hurriedly walked downstairs with the bucket.

This half bucket of water is only enough for the morning, if you fill two buckets, then if you save a little bit today, you don't need to carry water again.

Zhao Yang, who had just filled a bucket and replaced it with another bucket, glanced at Wu Ming, who was carrying two buckets and rushed down from the upper floor, snorted lightly, and then continued to shake the water.

Soon the two buckets of water were full, and Wu Ming, who was next to him, was afraid that the water would fall, so he lifted Zhao Yang's bucket away, put his bucket on, and urged: "Hurry up and get out of the way, wait for me to come!"

Zhao Yang snorted coldly and let go of the crank, but the person was slightly stunned, and he felt that as he let go, it seemed that something in his head twitched again.

"What's going on?" was just wondering, Wu Ming next to him pushed him, reached out and grabbed the crank: "Get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way!"

Zhao Yang stared at Wu Ming in annoyance, didn't think much about it, and then picked up his two buckets of water and walked upstairs slowly.

But as soon as he went up to the second floor, he could hear the empty "hiss" sound of the shaking well below, and he didn't hear the sound of flowing water, and the corners of Zhao Yang's mouth curled, wouldn't it......

He stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that Wu Ming was shaking the handle vigorously, but there was no water coming out of it.

"Haha......" Zhao Yang's heart was full of joy and shouted: "Wu Ming, there is no water, you go to the cliff to fetch water!"

Wu Ming, who was so angry that he shook the crank handle in his hand, reached out to lift the small half bucket of water in his bucket, poured it into the shaker, and hummed while pouring: "I don't believe it, you can shake it, I can't shake it!"

It's just that his small half bucket of water went down and shook it for a long time, but there was still no water coming up, but the water was drained cleanly, so that Wu Ming looked at the shaker where the drop of water was missing, and there was a burst of smoke.

Looking at Zhao Yang, who had already climbed to the third floor and was still sticking out his head to laugh at him, Wu Ming, who was angry, lifted the last small half bucket of water he had left into the shaker and shook it again, hoping to bring the water up.

Aunt Zhang next to her looked at it and shook her head, picked up the vegetable basin and turned around and went into her house, leaving only Wu Ming to shake here for a long time, and there was still no water.

"Let's go to the edge of the cliff honestly, hehe!"

Hearing Zhao Yang's jokes and abuses from upstairs, Wu Ming glanced at his two empty buckets, and kicked the buckets to the ground in anger.

"Nyima ......"

Zhao Yang walked into the kitchen with water, and the kitchen was already filled with a faint aroma of corn porridge.

While pouring the water into the water tank, Zhao Yang said in surprise: "Have you cooked corn porridge?"

"Hmm!" Zhao's mother nodded and smiled: "Yesterday two eggs were exchanged for some corn ballast! You go and tell Xiaoguang to get up and eat, and there will be porridge to drink later!"

"Good!"

When the family was on the table, Zhao's mother brought two bowls of corn porridge and went to the kitchen by herself.

Seeing Xiaoguang holding corn porridge and drinking sweetly, Zhao Yang also quietly got off the table and went to the kitchen with his porridge.

Seeing that my mother was really standing in the kitchen with a bowl full of mixed vegetable porridge, she was about to eat.

"Mom, you eat this!" snatched the bowl of mixed vegetable porridge in his mother's hand, and Zhao Yang handed over his bowl.

Mother Zhao sighed softly, looked at her son lovingly, and said, "Xiaoyang, now is the time for you to grow your body, you have to eat more, and your mother will eat mixed vegetable porridge!"

"Mom, don't worry about me, I eat in the school cafeteria every day, it's steamed rice porridge;

Looking at her son's determined look, Zhao's mother smiled helplessly, picked up the bowl and poured it back into the pot, then took the mixed vegetable porridge bowl in Zhao Yang's hand, poured it in, mixed it well, and scooped a bowl again, saying, "Okay, so everyone eats!"

Zhao Yangqiang held back the sourness in his heart, pursed his lips, reached out to take it, and nodded vigorously.
