Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside

Chapter 40

Han Li shook his head when he heard Hao Hongmei's words.

"I'm reclaiming the yard, and I'm going to plant winter vegetables in a while. Now I won't be in a hurry when I reclaim it every day."

Yang Xiuying: "I said why did you go to the warehouse after work just now? You must have borrowed tools, right?"

"Show us what you borrowed, and tomorrow we will also borrow it to reclaim the yard."

"I use a shovel, which is more laborious and you may not be used to it."

"I'll try."

Yang Xiuying grabbed the hoe and waved it in disbelief, and almost missed her foot.

Yang Xiuying's face turned pale with fright, if the chop was real, she might lose a toe.

Hao Hongmin quickly grabbed her arm: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we don't need this pickaxe then, we can just borrow a shovel and do it slowly."

"Sister Hongmin, my legs are weak."

Han Li: "Let's learn slowly, don't really hurt yourself."

"Anyway, it's still a while before planting vegetables. I'll help you when I'm done here."

After seeing them off, Han Li continued to wave his hammer to open the ground.

I kept working until it got dark, and the land in the yard was basically reclaimed.

Han Li was also sweating profusely, feeling extremely hot from inside to outside.

When I came to the side of the water tank, I slapped the ladle from head to toe twice, and the hot energy disappeared immediately.

After washing, I went back to the house and lit the lantern, and stewed two air-dried rabbits on the stove, reducing the heat to a low fire.

Han Li sat down on the kang and took out the letters he had received today. First, he opened the letter from Han Ma.

It briefly described the situation at home, and the most important thing was to ask him to work less and pay attention to his body.

Sister Han contained tinned tickets in the envelope, and Second Sister Han contained tea tickets.

Han Xiaomei didn't find anything in the envelope, so she explained in detail how Han's father and Han's mother reacted after Han Li left.

As for the other two letters, they were classmates I met on the train, and they were full of complaints and incompatibility.

Looking forward to returning to Sijiu City one day, one of them even cryptically proposed to borrow money from Han Li.

After Han Li read the letter, he started to eat. He just cleaned the dishes and chopsticks.

He heard someone in the village shouting something, and he had always avoided such things.

But just after dinner, I was idle, and I couldn't sleep at this point, or I went out to have a look.

As a result, as soon as he walked into the yard, a bell rang in the distance, and the door of his own house was also knocked frame by frame.

"Han Zhiqing, Hao Zhiqing, Yang Zhiqing, the village chief asked everyone to bring flashlights or lanterns and gather at the grain drying field."

"Got it, I'll be right there."

Something must have happened, Han Li hurried back to the house, put on yellow rubber shoes, and went out with a flashlight.

As soon as the street door was closed, Hao Hongmin and the others came out, and the three of them went to the grain drying field together.

When passing by the gate of the Educated Youth Court, all the people inside also came out.

The expression on the face of the old educated youth was relatively calm, while the expression on the face of the new educated youth was a bit flustered.

Yang Xiuying asked softly, "Han Li, do you know what happened in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know about this, but you all stay closer to me no matter what happens during this dark moment."

There were quite a few people in the grain drying field at the moment, and a bonfire was lit in front of the warehouse.

Most of the other light is emitted by horse lanterns. Those with flashlights will be turned off after this point, because the batteries are not cheap when they are bought.

The team leader was counting the number of people in their team, and then told Village Chief Zhao.

"Stop arguing, since everyone is almost here, then listen to me."

"Just now I received a report from the superior's assisted investigation that two criminals are suspected of fleeing to our side."

"The superior asked us to guard the boundary of Shanghe Village, and we must not let them slip past our noses."

"The other party has already hurt several people with such viciousness, but don't worry about the fact that they don't have guns in their hands."

"When we're in groups, we need to be in groups of at least three people, and we'll get some handy guys from the warehouse for self-defense later."

"Next, the squad leaders will tell everyone the position they want to defend, and call someone immediately if they find the situation."

Han Li took a shovel from the warehouse, pressed it in his hand, and tried to use it as a Liuhe gun.

Hao Hongmin and the others chose a sickle, others chose a hoe, and some chose a rake, in short, they have everything.

However, Han Li reckoned that they would be blind in whatever they chose, and they might even become the other party's courier.

Then the three of them and Aunt Zhang were assigned together, and the four were in charge of a section of the river bank.

Everyone also carried a pile of firewood from their homes and lit it in front of the area they were responsible for.

Seeing this, Han Li praised the three giants of Shanghe Village in his heart. Is there a reason?I understand everything naturally.

If you look down from the sky above Shanghe Village at this time, you will find that the entire village has been surrounded by piles of bonfires.

In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't talk loudly, only the sound of firewood burning in the distance.

Han Li: "Aunt Zhang, Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, take a nap, I will guard here and you will never fall."

"Isn't that bad for Educated Youth Han?"

"It's nothing bad. I'm young and strong and I'm fine if I stay up all night. How can you go to work tomorrow if you don't take a nap?"

"Educated youth Han has a good heart, so I'll be confused for a while."

"Thank you, Han Li."

Han Li waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, but among the three of them, only Aunt Zhang could calmly close her eyes and rest.

Hao Hongmin and the others had never experienced this at all. Sitting there twisting and turning, one could tell that they hadn't rested.

Yang Xiuying asked softly, "Han Li, do you think we can go back to the city?"

She has suffered more in the past few days than in the past ten years, and her body and mind have already reached their limit.

If it wasn't for meeting Hao Hongmin on the road, the two of them encouraged each other and she wouldn't be able to hold on at all.

When Hao Hongmin heard Yang Xiuying's words, she also raised her head to look at Han Li.

After all, she is just a teenage girl, no matter how clear her mind is, she is more clear in her heart.

There is no shortage of psychological and physical dependence on men, not to mention that they get along well with Han Li.

Han Li: "Are you homesick? Or do you feel like you can't take it anymore?"

"All of them, especially when I received a letter from my family today, I felt very uncomfortable."

Han Li: "Actually, everyone already had their own answer to this question the moment they boarded the train."

"Although I don't know what your family's situation is, I found that it's not bad through this period of contact."

"So you have to change your mentality, have confidence in the country, and have confidence in your family."

"Actually, I don't know what you guys think, anyway, I feel that staying in Shanghe Village is pretty good."
