The completion of the reservoir, to say happy, except for the people in Niuluo Village, the people in the subordinate Xincun Village.
Finally, I don't have to do white jobs anymore, can you not be happy.
Finally, Mrs. Zhou no longer has to carry her little daughter to work every day, and she can earn work points in the village. She is so happy.
When I opened the rice tank at noon to prepare for cooking, looking at the bottomless brown rice in the rice tank, sadness jumped on my face.
After scooping half a bamboo tube of coarse broken rice, Mrs. Zhou shook and shook again, and finally washed the little rice left in the pot.
Then when the rice is almost cooked, pour the chopped wild vegetables into it.
? If you don¡¯t have to do anything, you can eat something thin, and it¡¯s not a busy season right now, so it¡¯s okay to eat less.
At this time, she suddenly wanted to work on the reservoir. There was no money, no food, no meat to build the reservoir, but occasionally, her Xiaofang could still get a few mouthfuls of rice, one and a half sweet potatoes to eat.
If she doesn't go to work, her family can't even give half of a sweet potato to her children.
After the reservoir was completed, Bai Xi immediately had nothing to do. Of course, she hadn't done anything all along, she was just talking.
Now every household in the village owes hundreds of catties of grain and more than one hundred catties of meat to outsiders. Of course, this is a debt owed by the village, and it will be apportioned according to the head of the village, and it is not really for the villagers to pay it themselves.
On this day, Bai Xi went to school to take the exam and came back.
Passing by, I heard a family in the village arguing. Although she is an aunt, she can't take care of other people's housework. There are so many people in the village, if she takes care of them all, she won't be exhausted.
But after walking a few steps, listening to the movement, he frowned and stopped. Still have something to do with me?
"What kind of daughter-in-law are you marrying? Are you marrying a daughter-in-law? Are you buying a daughter-in-law? Girls in the city are not that expensive. They need so much food and bicycles. Why don't you grab them?"
An old woman's voice sounded: "Now the family owes so much food, you don't know it, the girl understands, or knows that our village is not doing well now, and wants to force you to leave."
People who go to work in the city didn't even ask for a bicycle. A girl wanted to ask for a bicycle before she even got through the door. Did she plan to go out and spend another time when she came? !
"Then I'll be a bachelor?" It was a young voice.
"Then what can we do? Our village has to pay off its foreign debts before talking about anything else."
"The debt was not borrowed by our family, how could it be attributed to our family." The young man muttered.
"What are you talking about, you bastard, how can you say such a thing, you have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard." A voice with a bit of the majesty of a parent roared, accompanied by fists and feet and the young man cried out in pain the sound of.
After a while of cursing, the old woman's voice sounded: "Son, you can't be a white-eyed wolf, you forgot when you ate meat? You will be struck by lightning for saying this. "
Although I owe debts, the village still distributes the meat to each household every now and then. My aunt said that people can't live without meat, otherwise they will not be able to bear it.
There is no one in the village who disagrees with the construction of the reservoir, and everyone agrees to use grain to recruit people to work. Now that the debt is owed, of course it is distributed to each household.
Difficulties are difficult, but everyone works together, and it will pass. Besides, there is an aunt who asks Xiao Hei to cook meat for everyone from time to time. These days are much better than before. One cannot but be grateful, let alone be ungrateful .
"No, no." The young man said hastily while stroking the sore spot on his body, "Mother, I just don't understand, why does my aunt want to build a reservoir?"
He is not a person who just puts down the bowl and scolds his mother, but he just can't figure it out. People in other villages say that his aunt is messing around. Although he doesn't think so, he still mumbles in his heart.
"Grandma has her own reasons. What do you know, you have to know, you can still be a bachelor?!"
"Son, you are only twenty-two now, don't worry, it will be two years later, your parents and I are not in a hurry to hold grandchildren."
"That is, what are you in a hurry for? No one else in the village is in a hurry. In the future, parents will definitely find you a good one."
The young man couldn't help curling his lips when he saw his parents who had said they wanted to hug their grandchildren before, anyway, their parents had finished talking.
What followed was a series of curses.
Bai Xi didn't go in either. After hearing the general idea, she went back to the tree house.
Within two days, Bai Xi asked about the situation from Chen Daliu.
There are several households in the village, originally negotiated marriage and relativesBecause I heard that the villagers in Niuluo Village owed debts and couldn't afford food, they either directly regretted the divorce or increased the dowry requirements for marriage. Anyway, they just disliked the poor conditions of Niuluo Village.
Originally, Chen Daliu didn't intend to let Bai Xi know about this matter, but he didn't expect her to ask, so he told the truth.
Seeing that Bai Xi had listened and hadn't said anything for a long time, Chen Daliu was a little worried: "Grandma, don't take it to heart, I can't blame you for this matter, it's those"
"Of course you can't blame me." Bai Xi: "Even if the whole village can't find a wife, the reservoir has to be built."
Chen Daliu nodded again and again, isn't it? Only those inexperienced boys will be dizzy by a few words.
"If there are people who will get divorced because the village can't get rid of the pot now, don't worry, it won't be long before those people who dislike our village will ask to come to our door."
Bai Xi said, and snorted softly: "The people in my Niuluo Village, regardless of gender, are not picky by others. They have to be good people, or else I don't want them."
The people in Niuluo Village who dislike her?
Huh, she still despises those people who have no eyesight!
Chen Daliu nodded agreeingly: "Yes. Auntie, don't worry, no one in the village will think too much about it."
The clanging of poverty, people who owe foreign debts in the whole village actually say such things, even Bai Xi is an eight-year-old girl, and even Chen Daliu, the village head, takes it for granted that others see this scene There must be something wrong with these two.
"Okay, Xiao Hei is back, let everyone come and share the meat."
Bai Xi's sudden change of subject made Chen Daliu stunned for a moment, he couldn't keep up for a while, he hurriedly looked down, and saw Xiao Hei dragging a big wild boar back.
"Ah, big wild boar, Xiao Hei hasn't dragged the big wild boar back for a while."
As Chen Daliu said, he followed Bai Xi down the tree house with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Hei growled twice and rolled his eyes.
What do you mean, I just haven't hunted a big wild boar for half a month. After all, I hunted too hard before and scared the wild boar into the mountains. Today, this one happened to be alone, so it came back .
