Chapter 24 She Loves It
There was a fire burning in Shen Laosi's chest, and his face was so ugly that those who wanted to come to find him a partner immediately moved away from him one by one.

At the same time, the people from the eight teams who were going to start the project had already assembled. Together they carried soil baskets, pushed carts, and carried shovels to the bank of the Yellow River ten or twenty miles to the north.

On the way to school, Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin felt very fresh when they saw these people going to work in groups.

"Is the dam protection project they are going to go on the long dirt slope we passed when we came back that time?" Shen Yuxiu asked Shen Yulin beside him curiously.

When Shen Yulin heard her words suddenly, he slapped her mouth in fright, looked around carefully, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "Don't say that we have been there. , can’t tell anyone.”

When the two of them got lost and came back, he only dared to say that he didn't know where he went, and he came back after asking the way the next day, and he didn't dare to mention that he had been to the Yellow River.

You know, if he hadn't stopped tired and paralyzed that night, he would have walked directly into the Yellow River not long after walking forward.

If adults knew about this, it would not be as simple as whipping his butt with the soles of his shoes, it would probably kill him directly.

Shen Yuxiu didn't understand why he couldn't speak, so he pushed away his hand covering his mouth and asked, "Why can't I speak?"

"Because I said it and I will be beaten." Shen Yulin threatened her without the slightest guilt.

When Shen Yuxiu heard this, she shut her mouth tightly in fright, but after a while, she still couldn't hold it back. She looked at no one beside her, and leaned into Shen Yulin's ear like a thief, and asked in a low voice: "Then, are they going?" there?"

"It should be." Shen Yulin couldn't tell clearly, after all, he hadn't really seen the place where the adults went to work.

Fang Youshun put some cotton locust slivers on the three-wheeled pedals, and took a shovel to dig a hole by the bay to soak in water. The cotton locust slivers were soaked for ten days and a half months before weaving various baskets or basket.But as soon as he went out, he saw the two children standing on the street chattering there, so he raised his voice and yelled.

"What are you two doing there, don't you go to school?"

The two brothers and sisters who were whispering were shocked by the yelling, turned their heads and saw their grandfather riding a tricycle looking at them, and hurriedly ran away.

Fang Youshun was slightly taken aback when he saw the two children run away like a ghost after being yelled at by him, and then chuckled.

These two brats are probably discussing how to make trouble again, otherwise they wouldn't be so frightened.

Thinking of what happened to the two children since he came here, Fang Youshun couldn't help laughing, kicked the tricycle hard on one of his feet, and headed towards the water bay.

He likes mischievous children, and generally mischievous children will not be bullied, and he can make people feel at ease no matter where he goes in the future, unlike Shen Yuwen, an honest child who can't get a fart out of three sticks, and makes people worry wherever he goes Will he be bullied and suffer?

Now that there is no life in the field, the villagers can finally take a rest. Some people who know how to make crafts will prepare to weave something to subsidize the family like him, but not everyone has this kind of craft. With such a rush of time, some people can be seen chatting on the street on the village road.

Occasionally meeting these people on the road, Fang Youshun greeted them with a smile, completely unaware that after he left, these people whispered about the tricycle he was riding, all envious.

In fact, when I first joined the commune, some members of the team wanted to confiscate this tricycle. After all, having more tricycles in the team would save a lot of trouble, but everyone knew that it was given by the army when the old man retired from the army. It is private property, not a necessary agricultural tool for production or farming. They have no reason to confiscate this tricycle, but this does not prevent some people from speaking bitterly.

As soon as Fang Youshun arrived at the water bay, he saw the brothers of the Shen family who were busy, and they greeted him warmly when they saw him. The third child immediately came to help.

"Uncle, are you going to get these cotton locust strips up, and then soak the ones on the car in the water?" Shen Laosan pointed to the cotton locust strips in the water, and then pointed to the ones on the car.

"Yeah, the water is almost soaked, and it can be used." Fang Youshun said with a smile, and was about to drag the cotton locust strips in the water.

"Uncle, wait, I'll drag you up, the water is very cold now, don't freeze you." Shen Laosan went straight into the water and began to drag up the cotton locust strips that had eaten enough water, and put them in the car The cotton locust slivers were removed and soaked in water.

"That's really, thank you, nephew. You see, this has delayed your work." Fang Youshun didn't expect him to do what he said, so he could only thank him quickly.

"What's the matter, it's all from my family." Shen Laosan smiled brightly and together with Fang Youshun loaded the cotton locust strips that had been dragged ashore on three wheels, before going back to work: "Then uncle, I will go to work first .”

"Hey." Fang Youshun watched with a smile as he walked toward the busy Shen family brothers, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "When your adobe bricks are finished drying, if you want to use a tricycle, you can ride it at your uncle's house."

Shen Laosan was taken aback when he heard what he said, and when he realized what he meant, he almost jumped up for joy, and quickly agreed: "Hey, thank you uncle, you have helped us a lot."

"Hey, it's all from my family." Fang Youshun waved to him with a smile, then pedaled the tricycle and walked home again.

Since he came here, because he is not a small team, he has basically never dealt with the Shen brothers, but he still knows the relationship between these brothers and his son-in-law. These brothers seem to be of good character now, and their daughter-in-law seems to be He gets along well with his daughter, and if he can help, he is naturally willing to help.

When Fang Youshun walked away, the smile on Shen Laosan's face was unbearable. The brothers of the Shen family and the sisters-in-law of the Shen family were equally happy, and they all worked harder.

They really didn't expect that the third child just helped out casually, and they could have such an unexpected joy.

You know, even if the earthen bricks are dried, they will not be brisk. It is tiring to carry them on their shoulders and hands, and they will not be able to get back much at a time. This is different with a tricycle, which not only saves labor, but also saves them. The timing of the transfer couldn't have been better.

Fang Youshun started weaving baskets when he got home. He hadn’t made anything for many years. He had to weave some things first to grind out the cocoons on his hands before he could make mats with sorghum stalks. When the skin is worn, it is easy to cut the hand.

While Fang Youshun was tinkering with knitting, Fang Yan brought the children here to do sewing because Shen Jinggui was not at home.

First, she can accompany her parents by doing needlework here, and second, because the little firewood distributed in the team is not enough to do anything, and the weather is not too cold today, so we can stay here together during the day. With only one kang, she can save some firewood and burn it for a longer period of time.

This year's team didn't have much cotton, so Grandma Fang wanted to make a new flowered jacket for Shen Yuxiu first, and refill Fang Youshun's old cotton jacket with the remaining cotton.And Fang Yan's plan is the same, the cotton that is distributed will be used to make jackets for Shen Jinggui and Shen Yulin first, and the rest will be continued for other children.

After all, their women basically do needlework at home in winter, and children who have nothing to do don’t need to go out, but their men have to do work, and Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin also go to school. Which of these people doesn’t wear warm clothes? It doesn't work either.

The little Shen Yujun was still hugged on the kang. Now the two elders go to school every day, and Shen Yuwen can't stay at home when he grows up. When the two adults are doing needlework, Shen Yuzhen basically takes care of the children.

While watching her younger brother playing, Shen Yuzhen looked at the new flowered jacket that Grandma Fang was threading from time to time.

The fabric was big, it seemed to be her size, the blush background, the pink flowers, she liked it very much.
