Chapter 231: Were we targeted right away?
Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu only thought that the wild vegetables tasted bad, but they were not hard to swallow.
Before the family split up, the second aunt and her family took care of the vegetable garden, and there were fresh vegetables to eat every month.
After the family split up, grandma didn't go to the fields, and mother was tired of taking Zhaodi to plant seeds, so the vegetables in the vegetable garden were not enough to eat, and the family ate wild vegetables more often.
We have eaten a lot of bitter, rough, and unpalatable vegetables, but we have never eaten such bad ones!
"Brother, if the vegetable garden is not taken care of, we will not eat such bad wild vegetables in the future, right?" Fan Erzhu said worriedly.
Zhaodi has not been home for more than a month.
Fan Dazhu stared at the wild vegetables in the bowl, his face wrinkled, "It's useless for Zhaodi to come back, she injured her leg and can't go to the fields."
"You can let mother take care of it, but grandma can do it too. Look at the people in the village who are about the same age as grandma, who doesn't go to the fields to work? Only grandma treats herself as an old lady and enjoys herself at home." Fan Erzhu complained.
Fan Dazhu grimaced and drank a mouthful of wild vegetable porridge, and made up his mind: "Okay, let my mother and grandma take care of the vegetable garden when I go home!"
He never wants to eat wild vegetables again!
Women should serve men, take care of the vegetable garden, cook in the kitchen, wash clothes and clean the house, feed livestock... These are what mother and grandma should do.
After all, they can't do it for men!
After going out, he realized that his family was too lenient to women, and his mother and grandma were too lazy, so they had to set rules for them.
Hong Daniu, Hong Mancang and other people from Zhulin Village thought that they were lucky to meet Mr. Bai and followed him to Shanshui Village. Otherwise, not to mention eating noodles made of white flour, they would not even have black flour porridge to eat!
They looked at the people of Baijiazhuang who were talking and laughing, and the whole family was happy together. Suddenly, they felt their noses sour and their eyes were hot.
No matter how bad the food is, no matter how hard the work is, the people of Baijiazhuang are at least a family together, and no one died in the flood. If possible, if possible, they would rather eat the worst and do the hardest work in exchange for their families.
The eighteen men lowered their heads, almost buried in the bowl, and their shoulders kept shaking.
With the cover of the night, they mourned silently.
After the group finished dinner, it was already dark, and everyone found a place to sleep in their clothes.
When it was dawn, everyone got up.
There is no breakfast in Baijiazhuang now, and the people in Shanshui Village also got up. Xu Qing has organized the men to escort the Sun family to the city and buy salt and other necessities.
The men in Shanshui Village are unloading the car.
Move sacks of potatoes to the place arranged by Xu Qing, and the people who listen to how to plant potatoes are also arranged by Xu Qing last night.
They are all old men in the village with rich farming experience.
The people in Shanshui Village took the potatoes and taught them seriously, and they listened very seriously.
Although they will come several times, everyone is afraid of not being able to come later and losing contact. Moreover, if they don't understand something after listening this time, they can write it down and ask next time, so both sides take it very seriously.
It was not until the morning sun rose that the on-site teaching of potato planting was initially completed. The people of Shanshui Village packed up the hemp ropes, oilcloths, and sacks and loaded them onto the truck, and pulled the cart back.
They must seize the time and transport more potatoes while it is not too chaotic now.
When passing Zhulin Village, Bai Manshan took out the things he bought in Nanning Prefecture yesterday and handed them to Hong Daniu and other 18 men, saying, "Go, burn some paper money for your family."
Last time, they were in a hurry and only buried it hastily, and then went to the prefecture city to handle the indenture. After that, they didn't return and went directly to Shanshui Village.
Now that they finally come back once, they have to pay tribute and burn some paper money for the deceased.
Hong Daniu and others' dry hands shook when they took the incense, candles and paper money, and the 18 men cried loudly.
The men in Shanshui Village turned their backs and pulled up their sleeves to wipe their eyes.
When they set off again, the whole team was silent, and a low and depressing atmosphere enveloped the sky.
Pulling an empty car, the speed of the return trip was obviously accelerated. After turning out of the small road and entering another mountain forest road, Bai Manshan was stunned when he saw a group of people rushing out with hatchets and kitchen knives in front of him.
Was he targeted as soon as he arrived?
.....
Shanshui Village is now in full swing.
In just three days, the trees in their respective plots were cut, the weeds were cut, the stones were moved, the ground was dug, and hundreds of adobes were made. The efficiency was extremely high.
Zhang Tuzi and Fan Qian's families were originally slow, but when they saw the progress of each household in the village, they were embarrassed and anxious, and could only grit their teeth to keep up.
Shuiqing's family did not need to participate in the construction of the wall in Shanshui Village. Her family only needed to take care of their own side.
The terrain on her side was high, forming a natural protection, so there was no need to build a wall. However, to be on the safe side, she and Fan Jin discussed and decided to build some fences to block the gaps in the low terrain.
Fences are easier than building walls, and there are not many places to build. The whole family finished it in two days.
The Ding family was ready to spend money to hire people. Originally, they were going to wait for the men from Shuiqing's family to come back to hire them. During the chat, Li Dani and the other five asked them if they could do it?
They were strong, they could cut trees, dig pits, and lay foundations. They could do all the work that men could do.
Qin Yilin was happy when she heard it. Isn't this just right!
There was no need to wait for the men to come back, and she directly hired five people to help, with a wage of thirty cents a day.
Her family was small, with only three people. The section of road assigned by the old village chief was the shortest in the village. Moreover, considering that their family was not farmers and were not very good at digging pits and making adobes, they took care of the flat road.
Qin Yilin roughly calculated that there were five more skilled workers, and with Li and her help, it should be completed within half a month.
He then happily led the five strong women to the section of the road assigned to the Ding family.
"What's the use of our good work? The Ding family hasn't started yet. If refugees really come here to take advantage of the chaos, won't it be enough to come in from the Ding family?" Zhang Chunhua shouted to the others.
Her mother immediately agreed: "Chunhua is right. We have built it. Even if the front and back doors are pressed, it's useless. This section of the road in the Ding family is empty. Isn't it wider and easier to enter than the main gate?"
She was almost exhausted these three or four days! The head of the family was lying at home, and she and her daughter and son worked day and night. They had to find an excuse to work slower!
"Didn't Mrs. Hu say that day that she would wait for her son to come back to help? You heard it too. What's there to quarrel about now?" Aunt Li just felt that Zhang Baldy's family had too many things to do and they quarreled endlessly.
Instead of quarreling outside, it is better to go back and take care of your own family and bring them over to work together!
Aunt Zhang stiffened her neck and said, "Maybe it was just Mrs. Hu's polite words, only the Ding family was so shameless that they took it seriously.
Besides, Hu Wenhua and the others still have to send several batches of potatoes. Can they come to make adobe bricks in a short time? They are slow, so it will be useless no matter how fast we work!"
