Chapter 59: Lu Miao is asked to herd cattle, what's wrong
Before Lu Miao could say anything, the second aunt of the Ma family's family in the same village stood up to stop her and said:
"Tianzao, what are you doing? It's time for lunch soon, don't worry about all this, hurry up After rubbing this straw, go home and have dinner!”
Ma Tianzao stamped her feet angrily and pointed at Lu Miao to retort:
“Just say she doesn’t dare to compete, but why should she look down on her? Human? How could I lose to her?”
The aunt and daughter-in-law never thought it was a big deal, and they all gathered around, whispering and watching the fun.
Aunt Ma was a little embarrassed. It could be seen that Ma Tianzao was still as stubborn as a cow. She said helplessly:
"We are farmers, and we have been used to doing these jobs since we were young. You win?" It’s disgraceful to win, and it’s disgraceful to lose. If word gets out, you’ll be laughed at by others!”
Winning is not a victory, and letting outsiders see it is bullying.
If you lose, you will not only lose your own face, but also the farmers in general. Why bother?
Ma Tianzao puffed out her mouth and became more and more stubborn. Aunt Ma, who had a headache, advised:
"Lu Zhiqing is not going to compete with you. This is for you to step down. You listen to Auntie, stop fooling around and hurry up." Let’s finish this and go home.”
Ma. Tianzao also came back to her senses a little bit, but when she thought about her father being the scorekeeper on the team, even if the people on the team didn't blatantly fawn over her family, they never dared to offend her, and they were also quite kind and caring towards her. Which one Dare to steal her spotlight like Lu Miao?
You are still mocking her openly or secretly?
Ma Tianzao was afraid of making a fool of herself, but this was the first time she felt so aggrieved. She felt that it was hard to live with both her face and her inner self. It was really hard for her to swallow this sigh of relief.
She bit her lip and said forcefully:
"This matter... I think Auntie should not get involved!"
"Sweet Zaoer!"
Aunt Ma Er hates iron. He sighed helplessly and turned to look at Lu Miao with a sad look on his face:
"Lu Zhiqing, look at this..."
"It's okay." Lu Miao shook her head nonchalantly, "Don't worry, aunt, I won't take this matter to heart. It's almost time to finish work, so I'll go back first, aunts, take your time."
Lu Miao mentioned Xiao Mazha and wanted to leave, left His shoulders suddenly sank, "Lu Miao, don't leave! You have to tell me..."
Lu Miao and Ma Tianzao are not familiar with each other, and they are too lazy to care about the petty quarrel. But other than this, Lu Miao personally hates other people's touch without a sense of boundaries.
The moment her shoulders were pressed, Lu Miao's whole body suddenly became cold, and her good temper disappeared. She turned her head, her eyes and expression were sharp and cold:
"It's almost done, Comrade Ma Tianzao, if the trouble continues, no one will look good on their faces."
Ma Tianzao was stunned. She didn't know why, but she suddenly shivered.
She had always felt that Lu Miao was delicate and petite, and looked like he was easy to bully. But at this moment, Lu Miao seemed to have changed. He had an off-putting aura, and his eyes were as dark as a snake spitting out letters.
Ma Tianzao was so frightened that before she could react, a child's voice suddenly came from the other side of the threshing floor:
"Lu Zhiqing, Aunt Guifen wants you to go to her place!" ”
Schools are closed at this time, and the older children in the countryside usually have to work together.
The younger ones are like wild horses that have escaped the reins, running around and playing in the production team. Sometimes they are dragged by the adults to become strong men, and they go to certain households to spread the word or call someone. something.
As soon as Lu Miao heard Chen Guifen's name, she waved and responded:
"I know, I'll go right now, and you guys can go home too!"
"Oh "Oh, oh, oh, oh -"
A group of little bald people spread out with their bare feet and laughing in the bright sun.
Lu Miao never looked at Ma Tianzao again, put on his hat to avoid the sun, and quickly headed towards the captain's house. On the threshing floor, Ma Tianzao reacted belatedly and stomped her feet in anger.
She was actually scared by Lu Miao just now! Absolutely abominable!
If there is a next time, she must make Lu Miao look good!
After leaving the threshing floor, he walked all the way to the vicinity of He's house. Before he got close, Lu Miao had already seen several groups of people entering and leaving He's house. It seemed to be quite busy today.
Lu Miao crossed the threshold of He's house, just as two uncles came out of the house. She nodded politely, saw Chen Guifen coming out behind, and shouted:
"Auntie, call me."
"Oh, yes!" Chen Guifen waved to the two crop handles, motioning for them to go first, and then pulled Lu Miao into the shade under the eaves, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't been here for a while. It's rubbing grass..."
Before Chen Guifen finished speaking, a dark-faced uncle suddenly stood at the door of the yard. Across the threshold, he raised his voice and asked:
"His third aunt? , several sickles in the warehouse are rotten, and the saw edges are gone. Can you think of how to arrange it? The harvest will start in two days, so don’t delay the harvest.”
"Oh, oh, I understand. I'll go and see it later."
Dismissing the dark-faced man outside the door, Chen Guifen looked back and patted Lu Miao's hand, then continued what she had just said:
" The team has almost all the straw ropes, and has been busy modifying farm tools in the past two days. In a few days, the production teams of each brigade will officially enter the farming season. "
Lu Miao nodded, still feeling a little confused. .
The atmosphere in the team has been heightened for so long. Even if she has not done much farm work, she almost knows the time and importance of farm work.
But with her personality, she did the light work half-heartedly, and she couldn't do the more important or rigorous work well. What was Chen Guifen's intention in calling her here?
Lu Miao was just wondering when a hoarse voice came from outside the courtyard door again:
“Hongjin’s wife, the plow in the warehouse has been eaten by termites. It will be used in two days. Hurry up! Where is Hongjin? Ask him to dig a new stake and fix the plow without delay."
There is nothing wrong with the farm tools that are commonly used in daily life, but those that have not been used for a season or a long time are. Hard to say.
They were afraid of problems, so in the past two days, before the busy farming season, He Hongjin and Chen Guifen discussed asking people to move everything out for inspection. As expected, problems emerged one after another.
"Hey!"
The person who spoke should be older than Chen Guifen. Chen Guifen walked a few steps outside to answer, and finally calmed down. She pulled Lu Miao and said briefly:
"Look at this, it's really It makes people dizzy. ”
"Auntie, I won't say much else, just one thing. The whole team has been preparing for it these days. Don't you like heavy farming work? It just so happens that the cows in the bullpen haven't been arranged to go out yet. This is a good job It’s easy to do it. Just go herd the cows these days!”
Huh? no.
Lu Miao was stunned, herding cattle?
When she thought of the big black cow with two curved horns, she felt panicked.
Lu Miao wanted to discuss with Chen Guifen about changing to a different job, but that didn't work. She could just follow the production team members to the field.
But before she could say anything, another person came outside the door. Chen Guifen could no longer take care of Lu Miao, so she dismissed:
"This matter is settled, Lu Zhiqing." , you go back first!”
