Chapter 338 Country Girl
Seeing that Wu Baiqiang disagreed, Bai Lingyan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Baiqiang, you also know the situation of Xiaojun's family. My parents are old and it's not easy to farm a little bit of land. So you can help me. That's two people."
Three hours. Besides, it’s lunch time now, and you and your aunt are tired and need a rest all morning. We’ll finish watering during this time, so as not to delay your watering in the afternoon.”
Wu Baiqiang glanced at his daughter-in-law Sun Huirong hesitantly. Sun Huirong saw that Bai Lingyan was very smart and had a very sincere attitude. He smiled and said, "Bai Qiang, look what I am doing. For many years, my brother Pingshun and his sister-in-law have been working day and night to serve in the army."
Is it easy to stay in the field? Xiaojun’s wife is indeed a college student, and her words are very pleasing to the eye. Just say this. Even if our family’s land is not watered even if all the crops die, we must let Xiaojun and Sister Bai water the land.
."
Bai Lingyan and Wu Xiaojun said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle and aunt! Thank you, uncle and aunt!"
When Wu Pingshun came to the ground, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan had already pulled the hose to the far end. He stood aside and watched silently as Bai Lingyan was sweating profusely, her hair stuck to her forehead, and her skirt was
There were spots splashed by water and mud, and my bare feet and hands were holding my belt, which looked very natural.
He poured water along the ridges of the ground without looking like a college student. It was rare for a female student from out of town to do this, and she couldn't help but feel secretly happy and distressed. She walked forward gently and said, "Lingyan, hold on to the water."
It’s quite tiring to pump water through your mouth, take a break, I’ll do it.”
Bai Lingyan said with a smile, "Uncle, you're not tired. Our family is in a mountainous area, and water is the most important. We rely on the weather for food. If there is a drought, we can't water it at all, so we have to let it go. I've heard this before
I have never seen it before, it is indeed more convenient to water the ground. Now it seems that farming here is much easier."
Wu Xiaojun came over with a shovel in his hand, pointed at the seedlings that had cheered up, and said happily, "Lingyan, you see how obvious the effect is. The seedlings have straightened up wherever the water has passed. If there is another drenching rain, it will be great."
The crops on the land have been saved.”
Bai Lingyan looked at the seedlings that were beginning to glow with youth again, and said with a sense of accomplishment, "Of course, don't be lazy and slippery, hurry up and prepare the ditch."
At this moment, Zhu Chunyan and Wu Xiaosen came over with their son Longlong. Longlong was ten years old and very naughty. He ran around shouting, "Grandpa, uncle! Grandpa, uncle!" and threw himself on Wu Pingshun to hug him.
He grabbed his neck and almost pushed Wu Pingshun to the ground.
Wu Xiaosen stopped Long Long and said, "Long Long, don't be naughty, grandpa is working." Long Long then let go of his hand and made faces at several people.
Zhu Chunyan saw that Bai Lingyan didn't look like a human being, so she complained to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, how can you be so unjust and bully Lingyan? Lingyan is tired. Lingyan, put it down quickly, put it down quickly!"
Bai Lingyan said sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, I used to do farm work at home. It's fine. I'm not tired. I'm not tired."
Zhu Chunyan insisted, "It's okay if you're not tired. Let it go. If others see it, they'll think we're bullying you!"
Bai Lingyan put down the water hose in her hand, washed her face at the water outlet, smiled at Zhu Chunyan, and followed her to the road.
Zhu Chunyan said with appreciation, "Lingyan, my sister-in-law really admires you. When I saw you watering the ground just now, my first impression was that you are an out-and-out country girl, not a talented and beautiful female college student at all.
I'm heartbroken and ashamed. I'm not afraid of your jokes. When Xiaosen and I cut wheat here for the first time, it didn't last ten minutes. My whole body was so hot that I felt uncomfortable and I ran away without thinking about anything."
Bai Lingyan chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are right. I am a country girl. The work I do is nothing compared to our family. You grew up in the city and have never been exposed to such things.
It's reasonable if you don't come, no one will tell you anything."
Zhu Chunyan said, "Yes, everyone understands it very well. You have been here for seven or eight days. I don't know what you think. It's okay to continue like this! Mothers are worried about their children traveling thousands of miles. If they don't raise their children, they don't know the hardships of raising them. Long
The dragon is so big. If I don't see you for three days, I will feel very anxious. You are here, I don't know how anxious the uncles and aunts over there will be. My sister-in-law advises you, when you are angry, you must always consider their feelings. "
Bai Lingyan said lazily, "My uncle, aunt and everyone are very good to me and care about me very much. I feel very peaceful and at ease in my heart. I haven't thought about this and I don't want to think about it. Let's talk about it later!"
Zhu Chunyan said distressedly, "Sister-in-law understands what you are thinking. Why don't you want you to take root here so that I can have a companion? The day before yesterday, I saw several students graduating this year. They have all reported to the County Personnel Bureau to serve in the army.
You can't keep the dispatch certificate in your pocket all the time. If you are late in arranging the order,
You are going to be affected. Xiaosen and I came back to tell you this. Of course, you don’t have any psychological burden when Xiaojun reports. When you think about it someday, I will see the dean again and tell you about your employment agreement.
It was lost by the school. If I get another copy, I might have a chance to reassign you here."
Bai Lingyan said quietly, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for letting me think about it again."
When Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan returned home from watering the fields, they caught up with the weather forecast on the small radio. Bai Lingyan listened quietly with her ears open and said happily, "Uncle, aunt, Xiaojun, it's finally going to rain.
No more watering the ground.”
Wu Xiaojun said disapprovingly, "It's nonsense. The sky is clear, where can the rain come from?"
Bai Lingyan said firmly, "The provincial station has just finished the forecast, saying that there will be heavy rain here tonight. It is very accurate, it will definitely rain. I have been feeling uncomfortable these past two days, which is a precursor to the coming heavy rain."
Wu Pingshun smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "Lingyan is right, I heard it too, it's going to rain." Xiaojun, the thatch on the east house has not been repaired for several years, and when it rains, water leaks into the house in several places.
, we will cover the roof with plastic sheeting later."
Wu Xiaojun said, "Okay."
The three rested for a while. Wu Pingshun took out a large piece of plastic sheeting from the main room, and Wu Xiaojun brought a long palladium and erected it under the eaves, and then tried to climb up.
Bai Lingyan was holding the palladium bed firmly from below, looking up and watching Wu Xiaojun climb to the roof with fear. Then she and Wu Pingshun pulled away the plastic sheet, supported it with a long wooden stick and handed it to Wu Xiaojun.
Wu Xiaojun stretched out his hand to grab it. Unexpectedly, the movement was too big, and he suddenly felt black in front of his eyes. He rolled down from above. Fortunately, he was transferred to the wheat straw below. Although he didn't fall, several people were frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
Bai Lingyan helped Wu Xiaojun up in fear and asked with concern, "Did you fall? Does it hurt?"
Wu Xiaojun stood up, flicked the dead grass on his body, and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's okay, it's okay."
Bai Lingyan said with relief, "As long as you didn't fall, just stay calm and I'll do it!"
Wu Xiaojun jumped up in fright, "No, no, stop looking for trouble. I can't afford to suffer the consequences if it falls."
Wu Pingshun and Xiao Junniang were also determined not to let her go.
Bai Lingyan insisted, "Uncle is so old that we can't let him go up there, and we can't let the rain collapse the house and leave the livestock without space. Don't say anything, just don't worry, I will build it up when I go up." The voice was still there.
After falling, he took a rope and tied a corner of the plastic sheet neatly three or two times, tied it around his waist, and climbed up frivolously along the palladium's crossbar.
This made Xiaojun Niang sweat a lot, and she kept telling her, "Daughter, be careful! Daughter, be careful! If you can't do it, come down!"
Bai Lingyan sat calmly on the ridge of the roof, without any fear at all. She smiled faintly and said, "Xiaojun, pass me the bamboo pole."
Wu Xiaojun hurriedly picked up the bamboo pole, stood on the crossbar above the palladium, and carefully handed one end of the bamboo pole to her. She took it easily, then gently opened the plastic sheet and covered the entire roof. It was almost done.
Chao Xia said, "Xiaojun, bring me two long ropes and a few bricks to fix the plastic sheet to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind."
Wu Pingshun and Xiao Junniang watched with trepidation as Bai Lingyan sat on the roof and covered the house with plastic sheets. Everything was done in a orderly and skillful manner. The old couple whispered, "Is Lingyan a girl? The difference between climbing up and down is better."
The average boy is still strong, but none of our wives are like her
Yes, even Xiaoyun is not as careless as her."
Xiaojun's mother said uneasily, "The last two times I saw her, she was gentle and quiet, but she is not like this now. You said her mother is mentally ill. Is it hereditary? She goes crazy when her mind is stimulated."
Wu Pingshun said worriedly, "Oh, it's hard to tell. Tell her to come down quickly. Don't get mad and fall off in a moment, which will cause big trouble."
Xiao Junniang hurriedly shouted, "Daughter, you don't need to be so careful, just cover it up, come down quickly!"
Bai Lingyan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it will be fine soon." She carefully fixed the rope with bamboo poles, and then stood up. This frightened the three people below, and they did not dare to express their anger.
After one sip, six eyes stared closely at Bai Lingyan.
Bai Lingyan gently tried to turn around, moved forward a few steps, grabbed the big elm branch at the top of the house, jumped onto the branch, and quickly slid down the trunk to the ground.
Xiao Junniang walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and said with fear, "My dear daughter, you are too bold. How can you stand up and turn around when the roof is so narrow? It almost scares me to death."
Bai Lingyan chuckled and said, "Auntie, I know in my heart that nothing will happen. There used to be a house in my house that often leaked, so I covered it with a piece of linoleum, a woven bag or something. Besides, I'm from school.
Long-distance runner, this small job is not a problem for me, Xiaojun, don’t you think so?" He said and nuzzled at Wu Xiaojun.
Wu Xiaojun was worried and extremely distressed for Bai Lingyan. He said very seriously, "You think it's nothing, but the three of us were so frightened that we won't be able to behave like careless country girls in the future. Don't say anything, and wash your hands quickly."
Take a breather and drink a glass of water."
Bai Lingyan whispered proudly into Wu Xiaojun's ear, "How about it, I'll be better than you!"
