Chapter 549
He Damao had a legitimate reason not to stare at people, and he was very happy to earn money by himself.I only occasionally glanced at the courtyard where Sun Renju lived when I passed by, but I didn't see anyone.

In order not to be caught fishing by He Xiaoxi, he kept hiding from He Xiaoxi.To prevent He Xiaoxi from discovering his behavior of eating official meals and saving private money.

Sometimes when I see He Xiaoxi from a distance, I quickly run away.The section of the Pengjiaba River that He Xiaoxi often goes to, he always arranges for Xiaoguang to go there.

He Xiaoxi soon discovered his abnormality.I also found that he had been wandering on the river, but there was no sign of Sun Renju on the river.

"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on the person surnamed Sun? You are here every day, who is watching on his side?" He Xiaoxi managed to catch him and asked him.

"The one surnamed Sun was so beaten that he couldn't move. He didn't go anywhere recently, he just stayed in their yard and didn't come out, so there's no need to stare at him." He Damao said forcefully.

He Xiaoxi: "He hurts his face, he has no face to come out to meet people, and it's not his injured leg, he can't come out, what if he comes out? Also, if he doesn't come out, can you guarantee that others won't go in?"

What He Xiaoxi said was right, and He Damao had nothing to refute.All I can say is: "If I hang around there all the time, people will suspect me."

"If you say you have an elm head, you are an elm head, so you won't change your image? Or did you do it on purpose, just want to take this opportunity to not stare at him so that you can sell your things?"

He Xiaoxi looked at him suspiciously.The more I look at He Damao, the more guilty I feel: "How could I be that kind of person?" As he said that, he wanted to slip away: "Can I just go and stare at it?"

He Xiaoxi grabbed him.This guy is not a person who can work honestly, he always thinks of ways to steal and play tricks.He Xiaoxi decided to send him there in person.

By the way, let's take a look at the terrain of the place where Sun Renju lives.It would be even better if He Da Mao could find a fixed place for him to follow without attracting the attention of others.

He Xiaoxi pulled onto the cart.This is the cart they use to pull water.There are two large gasoline barrels on the cart.

He Xiaoxi remembered that there was a well not far from where Sun Renju lived.Just bring some water over.Not only can it cover up its identity so that people don't suspect it, but it also doesn't take a trip in vain.

"Let's go." He Da Mao, who was full of reluctance, was pulled up.

Originally, He Xiaoxi and the others used water tanks on their carts.But the water tank is bulky and I always worry about breaking it.Don't dare to fill it with water, just pull it and spill a small half.

The county equipped the river with gasoline-powered water pumps. After He Xiaoxi found out, he went to Director Yu and asked for the oil drums that had run out of gasoline.After cleaning, it is used to hold water.

The gasoline barrels of this era were divided among various units and used as water storage containers.The canteens of the municipal government use gasoline barrels to hold water.

It is said that the logistics support of the US military also used gasoline barrels to store water at the earliest.It was also because the buckets filled with water were mixed with the oil buckets that were not cleaned, resulting in non-combat attrition.Discontinue use only if it causes adverse effects.

In order to prevent the hidden dangers of the US military, but also to prevent loss.He Xiaoxi deliberately found paint and marked their oil barrels with eye-catching marks.

With this kind of bucket, it is much more convenient for He Xiaoxi and the others to fetch water.Pulling water for one trip is worth the amount of two trips in the past.greatly reduced their workload.

Although reluctant, He Damao dared not disobey He Xiaoxi's decision.He obediently followed behind and helped He Xiaoxi push the cart.

He Xiaoxi made a detour to go around the road to facilitate the scouting of the terrain. "The big sheep is big, the little sheep is small, the big sheep runs with the little sheep, the big sheep graze by the river, and the little sheep also graze by the river."

In the nearby school, there was the sound of students reading loudly.He Damao followed suit.This guy is like a child who hasn't grown up.Every word and deed is always childish.

He Xiaoxi pulled the cart and walked past the alley in front of the school gate.Seeing a hawker selling Jiangmi candy, he walked over beating a small gong.Put the pick in the alley in front of the school.This is waiting to do business with kids after school.

He Xiaoxi looked at the alley, and at the yard of the house where Sun Renju lived.The straight-line distance is about 30 meters.Far is not far, but there is a large stone mill shared by the village in the middle.

The big stone mill is very big, and there is a jujube tree next to it that no one can hug.The two things completely blocked the line of sight.

If it wasn't for these shelters, it would be a very good place to monitor if we put a booth at the entrance of the school alley.It can't be used here, so we can only find another suitable place.

He Xiaoxi pulled the cart to the edge of the well in the village.This will not be the time for villagers to carry water.So there are not many people along the well.There are only three or two daughters-in-law who wash clothes and an old lady who kills chickens and loses their feathers.

Seeing He Xiaoxi and the others approaching, the women moved aside to give He Xiaoxi a place in front of the well.He Xiaoxi quickly expressed his gratitude to the family.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you, aunt, for delaying you."

There are many simple people in this era, and there are very few selfish people.

He Xiaoxi and the others fetched water, but the buckets could not be moved down, so they had to be filled on the cart.If the distance is too far away, it will take too much time to carry water over and over again.It also takes a lot of effort.

He Xiaoxi put the funnel on the mouth of the gasoline barrel, took the water that He Damao brought up, and poured it into the barrel.It takes more than 20 barrels to fill one barrel.Such a long time will inevitably delay others from fetching water.

Therefore, one of the sister-in-law's washing was dirty and was thrown away.He Xiaoxi hurriedly signaled He Damao to take a bucket and pour it into the sister-in-law's basin.

The women liked it very much when they saw how well behaved they were.The attitude towards them is obviously much warmer.They no longer only talked to themselves, but also to He Xiaoxi and the others.

"Are you guys here to dig the river?" It was obvious that they were deliberately looking for a topic to talk about, "Why did you come here with goods and sell things?" The latter sentence is the key point.I guess I wanted to ask a long time ago, but I have been holding back because I am not familiar with it.

"Yeah, I'm here to dig the river, both of us, this is my brother, I'm in charge of boiling water, my brother is in charge of selling goods, the money from the sales goes to the village, and subsidizes the food for those who come to work this time .” He Xiaoxi replied.

"Hey, do you still take care of the food when you work in the village?" The sister-in-law was quite surprised and envious, "My man also went to dig the river. Regardless of the food, I brought him pickled vegetables."

"Everyone brings their own food and vegetables, and the village organizes them to prepare them." He Xiaoxi dare not say that the village provides meals.If it is said, people in other villages have to have opinions on the cadres of their own villages.

Everyone can't eat meat, when you can eat meat.It's better to bury it under the rice and eat it secretly.

"There are no good dishes, just cook some radish and cabbage, ask my brother to sell something, and buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, otherwise boiled water will not be edible." He Xiaoxi said.

"Are you selling everything? Can you exchange it?" the aunt asked.

"Eggs can be exchanged." He Xiaoxi replied.Eggs belong to hard currency in this era, and they are used in common with money.Eggs can be exchanged for most things.

The weather has warmed up a bit, and the chickens are starting to resume laying eggs.Chickens lay more eggs in spring.There is a local saying: eggs in spring are as cheap as rice.Because chickens lay more eggs, eggs are also cheap.

So after hearing He Xiaoxi's words, the women were very happy.

 I almost forgot to wish everyone a happy holiday.Fortunately, today has not passed, and there are still a few minutes left.I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion, all the best and all wishes come true! (* ̄з ̄)
