"Get up, I'll come."

Luo Tiezhu squatted beside Luo Xuan.

With his towering and strong body, he pushed Luo Xuan aside without any explanation and said, "Go and fetch water. There is a coarse grinding wheel hidden under the stone mill on the eaves. Bring it here."

Luo Tiezhu is a stonemason.

There are two types of masonry work: one is rough masonry work such as grooving and wielding a sledgehammer.

Another method is to use a small hammer and chisel to carve various patterns or detailed patterns on the stone slab.

Luo Tiezhu is an all-round mason.

Although he can't carve birds and animals, he can still do some simple lines on stone slabs.

Therefore, when Luo Tiezhu polishes his chisels, he needs to use a grinding wheel.

There are sharp tools like a coarse grinding wheel, and strong men like Luo Tiezhu, who help Luo Xuan grind hard on the grinding wheel.

The top of the thin steel wire was polished and shaped by Luo Tiezhu in a short while.

Then he took two steel wires and went back into the kitchen. He started to light a fire.

When the hard wood in the stove was burning brightly, Luo Tiezhu stretched the steel wire into the stove and heated it up.

It's just breaking the steel wire into a hook shape.

If this kind of trivial matter is left to the future, a pair of needle-nose pliers can handle it in a few seconds.

But in this era.

Just such a small thing can stump people!

Just because the entire production team does not have a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Even the entire Zhengxing brigade would be hard-pressed to find a vise.

Fortunately, the working people have their own set of survival wisdom: Luo Tiezhu took out a piece of steel wire, inserted its tip into the gap on the handle of the fire shovel, and gently broke it.

A fishing hook appeared perfectly in front of Luo Xuan's eyes!

"呲——"

After quenching the fire, Luo Tiezhu handed the hook to Luo Xuan: "Don't force yourself to catch eels. If you feel that your body can't handle it, come back and rest."

When Luo Tiezhu was working previously, Luo Tiezhu did not say a word to Luo Xuan during the entire process.

Moreover, his face never showed any emotion, just like the cold bluestone on the mountain.

It was only at this last moment, when Luo Xuan was on Luo Tiezhu's body, that he experienced something slightly different.

After taking the fishing hook, Luo Xuan found a hoe and ran to the field next to the house to dig up earthworms.

Only this kind of red earthworm, which is half mud and half sand, is the favorite of fish.

The fat and big black earthworms under the garbage pit are fine for feeding chickens and ducks, but if they are used for fishing, the effect is not so good.

Find a section of bamboo tube.

All the earthworms and earthworms are packed in.

When it comes to holding earthworms, it is best to use an ink bottle or a can bottle.

It's a pity that in this era, rural people who are poor can only be called "can't even jingle a jingle".

In many people's homes, it is impossible to find an inkwell.

The cans and bottles that city people throw into the trash can are rare treasures in the eyes of rural people.

Everyone is eager to pick up a few quickly, wash them after coming back, and use them to store salt, sugar, etc.

Taking the fish basket, fishing hook, and earthworms, Luo Xuan walked towards the well in the ravine under the scorching sun.

Originally, when I went down the well to catch eels, I should have found someone to look out for me.

However, if he calls Xiaocao out, Luo Xuan feels sorry for Xiaocao who is taking a nap, and it will be very uncomfortable to stand under the scorching sun.

At noon, when it’s the hottest time, standing in the sun can make you sweat profusely in just a few minutes without moving.

According to Luo Xuan's estimation, no one would come out to fetch water at this time, so he plucked up the courage to go down into the well.

The well is not big.

Spread your legs, step on the walls of the well on both sides, and go down alternately.

After a while, Luo Xuan slipped to about two or three meters below the well and stopped one foot above the water.

Take out the fishing hook and stick it into the crack of the stone.

Then I shook my wrist slightly to let the smell of earthworms spread through the cracks in the rocks.

If the eel smells the smell and sees the shaking earthworm, it will think it is a small insect that poses no threat to it.

Bending down, Luo Xuan tried in several stone crevices, but to no avail.

It seems that the soil behind the stone cracks has been drilled by eels in all directions and is riddled with holes.

Maybe the eels are hiding in the crevices of the rocks above, which is not necessarily known. This kind of thing can only be tested one by one slowly.

Luo Xuan slowly raised his head and was about to move his body.

But suddenly he found that there was a black shadow at the mouth of the well, slowly enlarging, enlarging, and enlarging again in his eyes...

"I suck!"

Luo Xuan couldn't help but exclaimed, trying to turn his head to avoid the incoming thing!

But the well is narrow, how can it be opened?!

Just as Luo Xuan's exclamation came out, the word 'I' was still echoing in the well, and the word 'trough' was still drifting between Luo Xuan's lips.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

All I heard was a loud "bang"!

The heavy bucket fell from the wellhead and slapped Luo Xuan hard on the head!

With a "pop" sound, the bucket whirled Luo straight into the cold well water!!

"Ah?"

The person at the wellhead obviously heard the noise. She just heard her exclaim and quickly stretched her head to look into the well.

Buckets sink and float.

Luo Xuan's head also rose and fell next to the bucket. For a moment, it was hard to tell which was the head and which was the bucket.

"Are you okay?"

The person shouting is Dai Hongmei, the "former" village beauty in the 6th production team.

She used to marry into the mountains, just when the flowers were beginning to bloom, but they had not yet had time to bloom.

Unexpectedly, the worker bees collecting honey disappeared...

Due to Dai Hongmei's misfortune, she had no choice but to return to her parents' home to live.

The people in the village are simple.

In their simple concept, as long as a product is returned, no matter what the reason is, everyone agrees that there must be something wrong with the product!

If the product is really good, how can the customer return it before they are happy?

So the gossip in the village is like rice stubble soaked in paddy fields, constantly fermenting and changing...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Until it finally turned into a stink.

There are too many people gossiping behind my back, and Dai Hongmei’s thin shoulders cannot bear such a heavy burden.

As a result, Dai Hongmei, who used to laugh at everyone she met, now stays at home and rarely goes out, and she doesn't like to have too much contact with people in the production team.

At this time, others are either taking a nap or working in the storage room of the production team.

And Dai Hongmei wanted to take advantage of the time when no one was around to go out and carry a few loads of water back.

During this period, there were no iron buckets to carry water.

Everyone used two carrying poles and two large wooden buckets to carry water.

This time, it was Dai Hongmei’s third trip to pick out the water.

So the big wooden barrel she dropped had been fully soaked by the well water.

As a result, the bucket becomes extremely heavy.

How could Luo Xuan's thin body withstand the destruction of this wooden barrel falling from the sky!

"You, you grab the hook and I'll pull you up."

Dai Hongmei stretched the pole in her hand into the well, but the length was still a little short.

There was no other way, so Dai Hongmei had no choice but to lie on the edge of the well and try her best to stretch the pole as much as possible.
