Chapter 153 Childishness
Chapter 153 Childish
Ding Xiaomai apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't been involved in building roads, we wouldn't have to go to work digging rivers in the middle of winter."
"Ai, that's your fault. You want to build roads for the sake of the entire village, and you want to lead the villagers to live a good life. This is a good thing. You shouldn't deny yourself just because of this little thing."
An old man raised his hand to interrupt Ding Xiaomai and blamed himself.
"That is, don't take unnecessary responsibilities on yourself. Besides, if you can participate in building a road, the villagers will live a good life on this road in the future. No matter how hard and tiring it is, we think it's worth it."
Another person also continued.
"Yes, that's the truth. Besides, you have done a good job in building roads and providing a lunch without starving us!"
"Looking at the best of everything, just putting in a little effort can make a big difference! We have fought with our lives on the battlefield and climbed the snow-capped mountains. We are afraid of birds in this mere winter."
"Building roads benefits one party, and we feel honored to be able to participate. Don't put a blame on yourself."
Everyone said that they did not think that being sent to open the river in the middle of winter should be blamed on Dingmai Maimai, who advocated road construction and delayed the opening of the river. Although they are now decentralized and have become guilty people who need to be reformed, they still have something to contribute.
I feel that I can make some contribution to the good life of the villagers in the future, even if I am punished by having to open the river in the winter, I am willing to do so.
People of this era seem to have a fearless spirit of selfless dedication, which is something they rarely have in later generations who live impetuous social lives.
He cannot blatantly work for his grandfather, and he still dares not let outsiders know about his relationship with his grandfather, otherwise his wish to take care of his grandfather in this village may not last.
Although the winter here is not as cold as in the north, the cold water in the cold winter will still make your shoes wet, so Dingmai can only think of ways to make the elderly people suffer less.
However, Yan Qihan was unable to do anything about the work assigned to his grandfather and the others.
My uncle and Chen Shenzhong also planned to prepare more shoes and kneepads for them, Tingyu and Fang, and Uncle Meng did not miss out on his.
Of course, the person scolding was not Tengyu, but her two sons.
"Ding Dani secretly raises rabbits at home, and there must be a lot of rabbit skins. Let's go to her and buy more rabbit skins to make a few more pairs of shoes and kneepads for the teacher and other teachers! This will at least give them some relief.
, some shoes to wear.”
Dingmai came to ask for a rabbit skin. After hearing the reason, Dingyu agreed to go to the mountains to carry it for them the next day. After carrying it back, he sent it directly to Dingmai's house.
Things that can be done in the spring have to be done after the road is built, but I feel that these days in the village, because of the road construction, all the villagers are following the instructions of Xiaomai and forgetting their existence, and they are showing power to the villagers.
That’s all.
Of course, this is all a thing for another day. On the first day when Uncle Tonghedao and Chen Shenzhong came back, they were completely wet from the top of their thighs down, and the water in their shoes seeped out with every step. Ding Yu saw it and quickly let him go.
The two went back to the house to change clothes, and then warmed their bodies on the kang.
But it is very helpless. Those people are village cadres. Even if the matter is reported to the commune, they cannot take care of such a trivial matter in the village. After all, the purpose of opening the river is to store water for planting rice next year. Even if the water in the river is cooler in winter,
The commune superiors will also support it for next year's harvest.
At this moment, the two people arrived outside and stood facing each other in silence.
But Tengyu was still angry, so when it started to snow, he sneaked to Liu Guangwei's house and several cadres' house in the middle of the night and poked holes in their roofs to let them taste the cold.
Erni and Sanni were both on vacation at that time. After hearing what Xiaocao said, they went to the front door of the brigade leader's house to listen to the scene and came back to learn from Ding Yu!
It wasn't the day to burn the kang yet, but when my uncle and Chen Shenzhong went to the river to catch tench fish, they knew they couldn't do it, so they opened the hole in the kang at noon, and then cooked the kang at noon and then burned the kang.
"I'm sorry, I really thought I overestimated myself, which caused the elderly to have to work in the winter."
Although this method was naive, it was still effective. Liu Guangwei managed to catch a fever because of the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night. His wife's son went up to the roof the next day to check for extra loopholes, and cursed him for several days.
The male protagonist Yan Qihan also came here after hearing the news. He was worried about his grandfather's health. He had just finished the autumn harvest and had to build the road before he could take a break. After the road was built, he had to open the river in the winter. The old man was not in good health to begin with.
How can my body endure the heavy work without being able to rest?
When the river was opened in the middle of winter, Tengyu was so angry that he almost threw cow dung at the homes of several cadres. Fortunately, they figured it out. It didn't have to be opened in front of the river. It wasn't too late to open it again when spring warmed up. It had to be opened at this time.
Put on their official airs.
Yan Qihan shook his head, "How can I blame you? Just like what grandpa and the others said, building roads is a good thing that benefits the entire village and future generations. This is not your fault. It's because some people are petty and use such tricks to show off.
It’s just my official authority!”
Dingmai once again apologized.
The roof of the house that was inspected after autumn has exposed such a big hole in just a few months. The roof of the house where the two sons live is fine, but the roof of the house where they live has a hole. This is because they are dissatisfied with their elders.
Why are the two of you planning to freeze to death?
Ding Yu didn't want his uncle to go, but there was a quarrel during the road construction, and his uncle didn't want to have trouble with the village cadres again because of the work. Originally, he didn't go back to his village and stayed in the village all these years.
It's appropriate. If you continue to challenge others in the brigade over work, you should be kicked out.
Yan Qihan would certainly not blame Dingmai Maimai for something that was easy to understand.
Although Chen Shenzhong always went home to sleep at night, he still had some clothes here. When the curtain was drawn, the two of them changed clothes behind. Ding Yu went out to pick up a cabbage and carried it into the house. He planned to cut it and put some big meat slices on it later.
Add a lot of chili to the vermicelli, it will be hot and oily and you will have a meal.
The pigs in the valley haven't been killed yet, and the meat is rabbit meat. She smoked the bacon herself, and the tench tastes good. However, she has no intention of cooking it herself. As long as it passes through her hands, she can make even meat and vegetables stew.
It smells like boiled cabbage, and the meaty taste seems to have been absorbed by her.
The tench was cut into cabbage, meat, and peppers. The vermicelli had been soaked in it a long time ago, and the pot had been washed, so I sent someone to fry it.
My uncle warmed up on the kang, and when he felt that his hands and feet were no longer stiff, he came over to take over the cooking. Knowing that his eldest niece’s hands were handicapped, he could not let her get her hands on things like cooking. Otherwise, it would be a waste of good things.
I can't eat anything good.
