Chapter 8 Melon-Eating Team
Song Wei slapped his thigh with a sad and aggrieved expression: "Aunt Xiu, you said this was a big deal, and I accidentally slipped my foot into the water. I don’t know who it was. Rumor has it.
Although I liked Luo Yecheng before, how could I commit suicide because of him? Even if I committed suicide, it wouldn’t have any impact on him, so he still married Jiang Xiaowan, and he carried such an unpleasant scandal. What do I want from my reputation?
Thank you, right? You said the folks here are so warm and kind, and the food is so delicious, why can’t I think of committing suicide?”
Hear that. She said that the folks in the safety brigade were warm and nice, and everyone around them listened with their ears open and had smiles on their faces.
"That's not true. Everyone in our safety brigade is very enthusiastic."
Song smiled and said, "Yes, although I have only been here not long ago, everyone has helped me a lot."
"Aunt Xiu, do you have any skills in threshing the corn kernels?"
"Then I know, I tell you, don't just use your hands, it will hurt your hands. Take off the corn kernels. The corn core at the end is rough, so if you hold it in the other hand, you can get a lot of it with just a huff..."
She gave a demonstration, holding the unthreshed corn in one hand and the other hand. Hold the corn core in your hand and use it as a threshing tool.
Although it is easy to remove the corn kernels, it is a bit laborious and your hands will hurt after a long time.
But holding the corn core solves this problem.
“If you have Jiefang shoes at home, bring a larger bench, put your shoes on the legs of the stool, and they will be down in a few seconds.”
< br>The bottom of Jiefang shoes has that kind of uneven texture, and a lot of corn grains can be brought down by pulling up.
Unfortunately, everyone in this family who has Jiefang shoes treasures them and wears them, and they are reluctant to give them to Baomi.
Song Wei didn't have any shoes, but she had strong hands.
My hands and feet were numb when holding the corn core stick. I was a little unskilled at first, but after a few times, I could clean a corn in almost ten seconds.
“Song Zhiqing’s hands and feet are quite nimble.”
Seeing her movements, the ladies around her all cast admiring glances.
Song Wei: I just want to finish it early and go up the mountain.
She quite likes this job. She is not tired and can listen to the gossips of the ladies.
Probably because she was present, apart from asking a few questions at the beginning, they didn't have the nerve to continue eating her melons. Instead, they started talking about the melons of other people in the brigade.
The Ping An Brigade is composed of four neighboring villages. The village where Song Wei is located was originally called Lao Zaogou, but now they are talking about melons from the next village.
Song Wei participated without any sense of disobedience.
“Widow Zhao originally looked down upon her man. Now that her man is dead, I heard from people in the next village that they saw several men running towards her. I don’t know who has such a bad man. If my mother-in-law finds out, I will definitely have a fight.”
"Don't talk about the one next door. Let me tell you, there are men in our village who run to the next door."
"Who is it?"
Song Wei and the others' eyes were shining brightly. He walked over, his eyes full of gossip.
The old lady who knew the news was very proud: "My son saw Guifen and her husband last night. My son went to the next village for business yesterday and saw Guifen and her husband come out of Widow Zhao's house with his own eyes. "
"Oh..."
Song Wei also yelled, with a little excitement in his eyes, he was still an acquaintance.
She quickly asked: "Is she Mrs. Niu's wife?"
"No."
Aunt Xiu gave her a look that you know: "Guifen, her man He's just a bastard. He's been doing nothing for a whole day and still thinks of him as a treasure. If Guifen finds out about this, there might be a big fuss." After a while, she asked, "What do you think if I tell Guifen about this?" She didn't have a good relationship with Mrs. Niu, and she wished that there would be trouble in that family.
"That won't work."
Song Wei advised her: "Aunt Wang, think about it, only your son will see this, right? When their family gets into trouble, Mrs. Niu will If I find out that it was you who spread the rumor, you will definitely be wronged and say that you can't stand their family spreading rumors. If her son refuses to admit it, there is no evidence, so I won't cause trouble for you. "
Aunt Wang also reacted after hearing Song Wei's words.
Aunt Xiu advised from the side: "Song Zhiqing is right. Even if your son sees it and stands up to testify, others will not believe it."
Aunt Wang took Song Wei's hand: "Thanks to Song Zhiqing for reminding me, otherwise our family would have been troubled by Mrs. Niu."
"What are we doing together and are we going to work together?"
< br>The team leader came over with a tigerish face when he saw a few old ladies chatting together.
The melon-eating team separated immediately.
"What are you doing? We are not doing this."
Aunt Wang gave the squad leader a roll of her eyes: "My hands and feet are not very good. It's not that I haven't done it yet."
Aunt Xiu rolled her eyes and suddenly asked the squad leader: "Dalin, you went yesterday What kind of drink did you get from Old Orion? Your mother-in-law said that you tormented her until she went to bed last night, and she was not in good spirits today."
Song Wei almost choked on her own saliva. Dare you say it.
The team leader Jiang Dalin’s face was also green and red, and he was speechless for a long time.
Aunt Wang smiled slightly obscenely: "Hehehehe...it's strange that Cuilan looks so bad today, with those dark circles under her eyes."
The squad leader loudly scolded them and told them to work hard, and then ran away in a bit of embarrassment.
That silhouette looks like there is some savage beast chasing behind.
As he walked away, he cursed: "That tiger bitch, tell me everything!"
He was so embarrassed!
“A bunch of old ladies are doing all kinds of things, and there is a little girl here.”
Song Wei: ...Has someone finally discovered my existence?
But, she is not shy at all!
"What, Song Zhiqing forgot about you hahaha..."
Song Wei's expression straightened: "It doesn't matter."
Looking at the squad leader leaving in embarrassment, he still Quite enjoyable.
"Ouch, Song Zhiqing, you are so fast, you have done so much!"
Even when chatting with gossip, Song Wei's movements did not stop, basically maintaining a speed of more than ten seconds. The corn threshing speed is medium.
Only half of that big pile of corns is left.
She can finish it in one morning.
The old ladies looked at Song Wei in the wrong way, Song Zhiqing was hiding something secretly.
Song Wei grinned: "I just wanted to finish it early and go to the mountains to collect some dry firewood. I heard that the winter here is very cold."
"That's not good."
Aunt Wang said: "Then you have to collect more firewood and come back. It's so cold here in winter that no one wants to go out. They all leave the cats at home for the winter. There is no kang in the house to keep you warm. You little educated youths from the city can't stand it." Go.”
Aunt Xiu: “Speaking of it, this season happens to be a time when there are a lot of things in the mountains. It would be nice to bring more. Your new educated youths won’t get any food at all with their little work points.”
There is no food distribution. If you want to survive the whole winter, you have to buy food with the brigade.
