My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

The boys working in the brick kiln were all stunned on the spot.

Finally, some expressions appeared on their numb faces, and they froze in place and looked at Liu Laozhu in disbelief.

When they whispered to each other to confirm that it was true, they finally moved their feet wearing straw sandals.

Three, five, ten, twenty, more and more boys from Erdaohe Village came to Liu Laozhu.

When Uncle Li Zheng asked them again: "Where is the luggage?" A small flame seemed to burst out in my heart, and it gradually became a prairie fire.

Liu Laozhu got into the cave and packed the luggage rolls for these boys himself, and his mind was full of the appearance of each of them with black noses and eyes.

Even the nose can be completely blocked by soot, and it doesn't matter if they are dressed in rags, and the thin clothes hang on their bodies like tattered jackets.

Liu Laozhu carried one tattered luggage roll after another, and he had never been extremely firm in his heart. He kept repeating Mrs. Xu's words in his mind:
To stand up, to become rich, to become strong, to stand up, and they must fulfill them one by one.

Don't let the boys in the village come out to do this kind of illegal work.

The boys in our village can suffer or be tired, but they can no longer do this kind of work that does not treat us as human beings. As long as he is there, he must stand in the front and lead these young boys with bright eyes and enthusiasm to earn money. money.

And the whole process was live broadcasted by Xu Tianxin. She also helped pack the luggage in the dark cave, tied the mats on the floor into piles with hemp rope, and carried them out with Grandpa Liu.

She is currently Grandpa Liu's secretary, mainly working as an accountant to help settle accounts.

So Grandpa Liu went to Bai's house all the way to various Li Zheng's houses to write IOUs and ask for help. As a secretary, Xu Tianxin felt it more deeply than anyone else.

For example, Grandpa Liu probably opened and closed his mouth for the first time after many years when he told someone that he should owe first.

For example, right now, she knows better than anyone else that there will be a financial hole after Grandpa Liu settles the bricks, and they haven't gone to the county to buy goods.

But so what, the more you drill into this kind of broken cave that is difficult to bend down, the more determined you are, as long as everyone goes home, there are more ways than difficulties.

At this time, Grandpa Liu's ox cart was full of luggage rolls from the village uncles.

Xu Tianxin walked backwards.

She had the envious expressions of other people in the black brick kiln on the live broadcast that Erdaohe Village Youli was coming to pick him up, and she also captured the smiles on the faces of the uncles in the village, and they walked home faster and faster.

Xu Tianxin waved to his uncles.

Uncle Ming Zi, the youngest son of Liu Yongtian whose leg was broken by Wangjiagou, smiled only with white teeth, and he also waved to Xu Tianxin.

Along the way, Xu Tianxin explained to his uncles what happened in the village recently.

Liu Laozhu listened beside him with a calm expression on his face, but whenever Xu Tianxin said he was excited and walked backwards, he would show Xu Tianxin the way and remind him that there were rocks, puddles and so on, so don't fall.

After hearing this, the uncles once again expressed disbelief: Is this our village?

"Uncle Li Zheng, is what Tian Xin said true?"

Only then did Liu Laozhu turn his head and smile at the boys, and said in a low-key manner, "Yes."

When Xu Tianxin talked about fighting, everyone secretly hated why they were not in the village.

Xu Tianxin even recorded this one. Grandpa Liu went to the villages to take the lead in shouting, and the uncles in the village shouted together: "Collect sweet sorghum seeds, harvest sweet potato seedlings and broken rice..."

The uncles heard that they were all bought for the village. One by one, they picked up the burden, carried the sacks, and carried the bamboo baskets on their backs. Grandpa Liu said that they would not be able to carry any more, but they disagreed, and they scrambled to fill them with bags from various places passing by. Autumn cabbage and radish harvested from the village.

So Xu Tianxin was tired all the way down, gossiping with her uncles and breaking up with the elders of the villages, she had never talked so much: "Grandma, that's not how the bills are calculated, you see, your mustard lumps can't be the same as sweet sorghum One hundred catties of fish, sweet sorghum is an algorithm, mustard greens is another seven catties..."

Before Xu Tianxin finished speaking, someone pulled his shoulders: "Girl, give me a ticket for this pumpkin first."

"Okay, okay", Xu Tianxin hurriedly drew a small ticket to the aunt standing behind him, and with the ticket, he went to their Erdaohe village to pick up fish in seven days.

Liu Laozhu also spoke dryly, feeling surrounded by a group of old women who sold everything, and he frowned and said: "I don't accept gourd ladles, we have plenty in our village, I want yours What are you doing?"

The aunt said unhappily: "Didn't you say that you can accept everything? It would be nice to leave this gourd with a scoop of salt and a scoop of water."

"But what can I exchange for the gourd scoop?"

Give you fish scales, what are you doing?Give fish, we still don't do it, not even a catty.

Liu Laozhu had to yell again what he wanted, and he was still standing on the big rock, pointing his feet at Kuandianzi Village standing in the distance, and shouted to the villagers:
"I am Lizheng of Erdaohe Village, and I am very familiar with you Lizheng.

I'm not familiar, he can't let me yell in your village, right?

So I can do what I say, and I said that those who go to collect the fish with a ticket in seven days will definitely get it, and you don't need to ask repeatedly.I borrowed your shoulder pole sack first and also returned it.Yes, use them for fish then.

In short, in a word, we are in Erdaohe Village, so don't worry! "

It made the village of Kuandianzi think that Liu Laozhu must be crazy, since he was kicked out in the county last time, he is not normal.

You said that Liu Laozhu's style will also affect his weight in the hearts of the villagers, and they feel that everyone in the village is like this.

The daughter-in-law in Kuandianzi Village also stared at Liu Laozhu, disgusted and ashamed.

So in Kuandianzi Village, when he wanted to ask Liu Laozhu what was going on, he was grabbed by his wife.

"I'll go and ask if he, Liu Laozhu, really has the guts to go against Wang Lizheng." Seeing this situation, he wants to fight to the end.

"Don't go there, why are you so trustworthy. Let me tell you, he will come to sit at home in a while, and I don't welcome him. Look at the group of people who have been buried by him. I'm afraid that he will be full if he touches the threshold of our house The house crawls with lice."

Liu Laozhu glanced at the back of Kuandianzi Village who was hurriedly turning away while he was busy, and sneered in his heart, thinking: It doesn't matter.

He asked the villagers who sold him a lot of sweet sorghum just now: "Sister, our village is still some distance away from yours. It's a bit far away. Could you please give us a sip of water?"

The boys have to carry a lot of things, at least they have to drink saliva.

The woman who was asked enthusiastically said: "Yes, come and enter the courtyard."

The boys from Erdaohe Village did not enter the villager's yard, but stood at the door of the villager's house with a well, taking turns drinking water from two gourd ladles.

After drinking, Xu Tianxin was about to brush the gourd ladle for others, but Liu Laozhu snatched it, and said while brushing, "Thank you, big sister, thank you fellow villagers of Kuandianzi Village."

Before leaving, he waved to the villagers: "In Erdaohe Village, you are welcome to exchange your goods for fish at any time. The fish there are big and fat."

Liu Laozhu made a note in his heart that when these people from other villages go to collect fish, our village will set up two large pots with firewood at the entrance of the village, and give hot water to those who go to collect fish.

……

It was almost midnight when Xu Tianxin got home that day, but the whole Erdaohe Village was very lively.

Almost all families came out, holding torches to welcome those who returned in the middle of the night.

Some people cried and others laughed: "Don't go out anymore, your Aunt Xu said that the work in the village will be enough in the future."

"Mingzi, your father's revenge has been avenged, mother will wait for you to come back and burn the paper."

Mingzi's two elder brothers also hid in the dark and wiped their tears when they saw their younger brother so thin.I heard that it was Lizheng who asked for the wages, and the resentment I felt towards Lizheng in my heart disappeared at this moment when I saw Liu Laozhu's exhausted face.

There is only regret, regret that their father did not see this day.

More villagers greeted happily: "Boys, let's go to the dam to have a look?"

"Let's go." If you are hungry in the middle of the night, you must first look at their river and their boat.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xu and her uncle reported to Liu Laozhu the amount of rice, flour, grain and oil that each family wanted to buy.The fourth uncle also told that the wasteland had been set on fire and grass, and the foundation could be dug tomorrow.

Liu Laozhu also reported to Mrs. Xu and Sibo what he owed for this trip. The vats and jars will be delivered tomorrow, and after two days, many adobes that have been ordered in the six villages will also be delivered one after another. in place.

In addition, how many catties of fish are still owed, which has already entered the second wave.

At present, the fish belonging to the village committee is arranged in this way. Every three days, that is, the fish caught on the fourth day, no matter how much fish is caught, it will belong to the village committee. This is agreed by the whole village according to the fingerprints.The fish caught within three days will be distributed to the villagers according to the work points.

Because there are only a few fishing boats, they have been fishing again after many years, and even the boats are like starting from scratch, so the fishing boats belong to everyone and cannot be attributed to anyone.

As for the fish belonging to the village committee, Liu Laozhu has already owed the second wave based on the current average daily salvage of fish.

The fourth uncle understands that this is really tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Before even catching the fish, he has set all the nets out one after another.

He glanced at Liu Laozhu, a man in his fifties with a hoarse voice.

The fourth uncle could feel that what Liu Laozhu and the eldest niece of the Xu family were going to do was for the good of the whole village, so he was relieved and said firmly: "You just let it go, be bold, and two days later you can make a boat. It happened that it was my turn to fish for the village that day."

But the plan did not change quickly, and it became cloudy the next day.

Everyone first scolded the gods, the rain has not stopped this year, flooding our fertile fields and causing poor harvests is enough, and it will fall in this big autumn, let your grandma have a leg, you said we want pickled vegetables and pickled fish, There is also the Ula grass that the village requires to hustle, where to dry it.

In Xu's house, half-dried vegetables were placed on the kang, and it was impossible to describe the smell in the whole room.

Salted fish, cured fish, fish maw, dried radish, cucumber money, pumpkin, cabbage, scallions, dried coriander, and various hay flavors that are kept to dry to feed mules and horses, and Mrs. Xu can’t go out when it’s cloudy and rainy. Pickling sauerkraut in the kitchen.

Xu Tianxin had to plug up both noses and eyes with a damp cloth. It wasn't because she was hypocritical, she was so fuzzy from the smoke that she woke up in the morning, and she would have to spit it out if she smelled it for a while. That would be a waste of food.Are you hungry after throwing up?

As for the Xu family in the village, they are considered to be a large family with many houses, and each house is also full of ropes to hang fish.When Xu Tianxin went to the kang to get something, he had to walk on tiptoe carefully, for fear of stepping on the drying vegetables.It is conceivable that a farmhouse with a large population and few rooms does not even have a place to set foot.

But as another day came, the white lightning flashed like it was about to explode in the sky, the rain was getting heavier and there was an evil wind blowing, at noon, the house was as dark as midnight, and during the day it was necessary to light an oil brazier to work Live, the whole village stopped cursing, but began to beg God.

Hurry up, we just dug the foundation, so the heavy rain has to be soaked.

Don't get off now, our boat can no longer get off the river or fish.

Liu Laozhu and Mrs. Xu were wearing coir raincoats, and led a group of strong laborers to inspect the dam.When the sediment flow was found to show signs of loosening, a truckload of stones was quickly transported to the dam and then blocked.

Liu Laozhu wiped the rain from his face, praying for one more thing in his heart than other villagers, that is: villagers from other villages must not come, he has no fish.

Since the evil wind blew up, their village has been affected by the rain for many consecutive days, and they dare not get off the boat to fish.Although it was under the heavy rain, I saw the fish in the river jumping out, but it must be fatal, a strong wind came and the boat capsized in the river.

Liu Laozhu made sure that the adobes that the villages were helping to save would not be delivered at this time.

He was just worried that those who collected the radishes and cabbages from various villages first would come to ask for them.

Sure enough, even the knives of the old world could not stop the desire for food, and many representatives were sent from village to village.

Liu Laozhu called for some women to come to his house to help boil and pour water, and even expropriated the house next door and the Sun house on the other side, so as to make room for people from other villages to sit.

Things are also scratched and scratched, don't dry them out, don't reveal your wealth.

While winking at Pepper, he asked Go Dam to call Xu Meizi to help him think about how to explain to people that the delivery was not on schedule.

Let's just say, is it okay for him to rewrite the IOU and set a date? Does he have to give money?
There is only 13 taels of silver left in his family's pockets, and he still needs to keep it for shipping.

Once this is given, after two days the rain will stop, what will he have to bring the team into the city to approve the goods.

In fact, this is not enough, only 13 taels for the cost, how much can you earn when you turn back to make money in wholesale?He planned to pass by his elder brother and ask for the 20 taels of silver that he had given to his elder brother for nothing because of his unconscionable conscience.Just imagining that scene is like seeing the elder brother's expression of wanting to curse, maybe he will be kicked at a young age.

Liu Laozhu and the people from other villages were chatting politely: "It's raining, and I'm free, so I came to fetch fish, huh?"

"No, we came here because there was no thunder today and we couldn't hit anyone. So what, Liu Lizheng, where are the fish?"

Just when Liu Laozhu wanted to say, don’t worry, if there are no fish, I will convert it into copper coins for you at the worst, and I must let you know that when the people of Erdaohe Village are very reliable in their work, Pepperhead came back soaked in a bamboo hat. .

"Have you seen the girl?"

"Emma, ​​his father, it's not good. The river on the other side of Wangjiagou collapsed, and the river rushed into their village. My sister asked you to wait. She will take the strong boys from our village to help."

"What?" Liu Laozhu stood up abruptly.

Why help them? Believe it or not, our village will be flooded, and the other side will laugh out loud!

Besides, this is too much love, my forehead is still full, and I can't do the dam work, so go help Wangba Village?This really forgot how to beat us up.

"Then you go call Tian Xin and let that girl come over and settle the accounts for me."

"Tian Xin has gone too."

The old lady Xu and Xu Tianxin, who had great love, poured rainwater down their faces, and were standing at the gate of Wang Lizheng's house in Wangjiagou Village, directing the Erdaohe strong men who rushed in to scoop fish with basin water.

"The fish have entered the village, help them!"
