Chapter 66 come to the door
Zhao Tingting looked at Qiao Mu and sneaked a glance at Su Xi. When she went to fetch water from the stove last night, she met Qiao Mu, and she said by the way that their house was leaking. Who knew that Qiao Mu went to cut thatch early in the morning. up.

She probably also knew why Qiao Mu did this.

Seeing that Qiao Mu was soaked all over, Zhao Tingting felt very sorry, "Qiao Mu, you are wet, go and change quickly, don't catch a cold."

Qiao Mu shook his head, "No need, I have to go up the mountain to cut thatch later."

He filled a bowl of porridge and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Xu Zhiqiang stood at the door and looked around, "Are there many places where the rain leaks? I don't know if such a large bundle of thatch is enough."

Qiao Mu was very serious, "It's definitely not enough. I'll go to the mountain to cut some more later."

Xu Zhiqiang thought about it, and finished eating in three or two bites, "I'll go to the team to get the sickle, and we'll go up the mountain to mow the grass later."

Yuan Gang called him, "Brother Xu, take more, I'll go too."

Zhu Zhicheng also said, "Give me one too."

Xu Zhiqiang really wanted to say that he didn't need so much thatch, but on second thought, he simply patched up the entire roof so that it would be safe for the winter.

He nodded and walked away quickly.

Xu Zhiqiang came quickly with a sickle, and he also brought two bamboo hats.

He handed one of them to Qiao Mu, "You wear it."

Zhu Zhicheng went into the room and came out wearing a bamboo hat. Xu Zhiqiang had a bamboo hat left in his hand. After pushing for a long time with Yuan Gang, he finally put it on for Yuan Gang.

Everyone tied up their trouser legs and went up the mountain.

Su Qian watched them go, went back to the kitchen, got some big pieces of ginger, and cooked a pot of thick ginger soup.

Fearing that the taste would not be good, she also put brown sugar in it, and let a few male educated youths enjoy the treatment of women.

After about an hour, several people went down the mountain with thatch on their backs. Fortunately, the rain stopped at this time.

Susie greeted everyone, "Drink some ginger soup first, don't catch a cold."

After drinking the hot ginger soup, the whole body became hot. After drinking the ginger soup, everyone started to work.

The staircase that Xu Zhiqiang borrowed was long enough to be placed next to the wall and directly extended to the roof.

Several people got together to discuss, and Xu Zhiqiang went up the ladder first, because he helped some people in the team to lay the roof and had experience.

The rest of the people are responsible for handing the thatch up.

Xu Zhiqiang got on the ladder, and the thatch was handed up.

The whole house of collective household faces south, and Susie and the others live in the easternmost room.

Xu Zhiqiang stood on the ladder, picked up some rotten thatch and threw it down.

The thatch on the entire roof was removed a lot, and then began to be laid up again.

When Xu Zhiqiang gets tired, he will be replaced.

In the middle of the work, there was not enough thatch, and several people went up the mountain again, and one of them came down with a large bundle of thatch.

At noon, Su Qian asked Zhao Tingting to take out the preserved bacon, steamed a large pot of egg custard, and made some side dishes.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Zhiqiang hurried into the kitchen to wash rice and borrowed Susie's kerosene stove to cook.

When eating, Su Qian asked Xu Zhiqiang to eat with them, Xu Zhiqiang waved his hand, "No, I will eat with Xiaoxue."

Susie had no choice but to take some bacon for him in a small bowl.

Xu Zhiqiang put the bacon in front of Yu Xue as if offering a treasure, and he was not willing to eat it at all.

Susie could do nothing but roll her eyes.

After eating for a while, she found that Zhu Zhicheng always only picked up a pot of braised winter melon in front of her. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she put a chopstick of bacon into Zhu Zhicheng's bowl.

Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked up at Su Qian, then lowered his head to eat silently.

Qiao Mu on the opposite side of Susie suddenly tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, then lowered his eyes and ate silently.

After eating, everyone continued to work.

Susie came out after washing the dishes in the stove, and was looking up at the roof, when suddenly there was an angry voice from the door, "Which bastards beat my son? Get out, old lady!"

Qiao Shu, who was standing on the stairs covered with thatch, suddenly turned his head.

Chen Changqing and the others in the room ran out when they heard the sound and stood at the door to watch.

Susie saw an old woman with a fleshy face rushing towards the door in a menacing manner, followed by two middle-aged men behind her.

Xu Zhiqiang ignored the old woman, stepped forward and said to the two men, "Boss Yang, Second Brother Yang, what are you doing?"

Boss Yang roared ferociously, "What are you doing? Find someone to settle the score! The educated youth beat my third son. It's been two days and he's still lying in bed unable to get up."

At first, the family knew that Yang Laosan had been beaten, but no one cared about it, because Yang Laosan was often beaten.

But this time, after lying at home for two days, they realized that the problem was serious. After questioning, they found out that they had been beaten by an educated youth, so they came here.

Xu Zhiqiang took a look at the male educated youths, and saw that everyone did not refute, but just stared at Boss Yang and the others, so he knew it must be true.

Xu Zhiqiang lived in collective households for the past few days, and found that these educated youths were not bad, and he cared to protect them, "You know what kind of virtue your third child is, and he must have done something bad to be caught, and a beating is fine. It's cheap for him."

Yang Laosan's mother, Huang Zhaodi, rushed to Xu Zhiqiang, spit on his face, "He took a few glances at him when he was taking a bath, it's nothing, it's a lot of meat! What's the big deal!"

"Anyway, the third child in my family can't get up now, so they have to pay for the medical expenses."

Xu Zhiqiang wiped his face, took a few steps back, and said angrily, "Is it reasonable for Mr. Yang to peek at someone taking a bath? He should be beaten."

Huang Zhaodi didn't dare to provoke Xu Zhiqiang. She was treated badly by Mrs. Jiang in the past, but now she saw Mrs. Jiang detour. She didn't answer Xu Zhiqiang's words and looked around, "Who is that educated youth surnamed Su?" which one?"

Susie looked at Huang Zhaodi with extremely cold eyes.

Huang Zhaodi met Su Qian's gaze at once, and she ran towards Su Xi, "You still dare to stare at me? Little bitch, is that you? See what's wrong with you, how dare you find someone to beat my son?"

At this time, Qiao Mu had just come down the stairs. He saw Huang Zhaodi running towards Susie, and it was too late to stop her.

Xu Zhiqiang was the closest, but he was slow to react, and he still stood there and looked at it stupidly.

Huang Zhaodi reached out to grab Susie's collar. Susie moved aside nimbly, then raised her arms to pat Huang Zhaodi's face.

This time, she exhausted all her strength, and her palms were numb in an instant.

Huang Zhaodi's head was turned to one side by her slap.

Before she turned her head, Susie's second slap came.

"You dare to hit my mother!" Boss Yang and Second Yang roared and rushed over.

Xu Zhiqiang also reacted at this time, and pulled Su Qian behind him to block the front, "What do you want to do?"

The eldest brother Yang and the second child did not dare to do anything to Xu Zhiqiang. They knew in their hearts that if they really beat Xu Zhiqiang, they were afraid that they would be sent to reform through labor.

The two rushed forward, and their fists stopped in the air again.
