Not a single one of them was a married woman; not even a single man came to help with the work.
In fact, the main force here is basically composed of older girls and married women.
Lao Min was a little confused when he saw Zhang Xiaoli.
Then he explained, "Classmate Zhang Xiaoli, don't be surprised. Originally, those married women might have been more efficient in doing the work.
But the men in their family will let their mother-in-law go to other people’s houses to help. But I’m afraid they won’t let their mother-in-law come to help Luo Xuan build your house.”
Zhang Xiaoli was even more puzzled, "Why is this? Could it be that Luo Xuan and I can eat people?"
Old Min smiled and said, "The problem is not your fault."
"Here, Yu Luo Xuan's appearance."
Old Min laughed loudly, "The men in the village are worried that Luo Xuan will seduce their wives. How can you let others help sow seeds in your own land?"
Zhang Xiaoli pouted, "Luo Xuan is not that kind of person!
Moreover, they do not want their mother-in-law to have anything unclear with other men.
Then why aren't they worried that their own girl will have any problems with Luo Xuan?"
Old Min smiled brightly, "They won't worry about this! The girl belongs to someone else's family, and the mother-in-law belongs to me... Hahaha! Isn't it interesting?"
Zhang Xiaoli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I said, Old Minna, why don't you just stand here and watch the joke?
Why don't you hurry up and help Luo Xuan level the foundation?"
Lao Min chuckled, "Don't worry. It's just a 3,40 square meter bamboo house... it's very fast!"
"So people here often accidentally burn down their houses when using fire pits."
Old Min smiled and said, "They are just big enough, so they can just carry out the food and quilts at home.
As for the house...just burn it, it doesn't matter. Just spend a day tomorrow and build another one. Bamboo is free anyway, it's everywhere.
Lao Min explained, "They built the house at such a speed... Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's guaranteed to shock your jaw."
Zhang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "It's a good thing to be fast! If we build the house earlier, we can also rest earlier."
Lao Min shook his head, "Quickly? I'll knock you out quickly, that's about right... Hahaha."
Namu brought these 10 girls here.
All of them are young, the youngest is probably only 16 years old, and the eldest is around 19 or 20.
This group of girls,
Without exception, everyone's skin is dark.
When they work, they are not afraid of hardship and tiredness.
But there was no formality: they were working, playing and making noise, talking and laughing all the time.
And these girls can't do it for a while before they start laughing and making a lot of noise!
You can put it like this:
If someone who has been in the mainland for a long time comes here for the first time, he will see these girls working.
Most of them can't help but feel angry, especially want to get angry!
Unorganized and undisciplined to the extreme.
They are all free-spirited and have no rules.
Moreover, while working, Luo Xuan discovered that they had no plan when doing things.
Not even,
Even a little bit, a little bit of overall planning concept.
For example, if you go to cut bamboo in a mountain col: a group of people will go to chop bamboo.
Then the bamboo forest is small and there are too many people.
So here are the girls, there are only 2 or 3 of them, working hard to cut down the bamboo.
And the rest, the girls, were just there playing around.
Or be at the edge of the bamboo forest, busy catching stick insects, picking maggots, digging bamboo shoots...
If we follow the mainlanders’ thinking habits and style of speaking.
At this time, 2 or 3 people will be sent to chop bamboo.
And the rest of the people,
Either go collect thatch and come back to weave the roof, or help level the foundation.
Everyone works together and performs their own duties.
In this way, work efficiency will be greatly improved.
"A place with water and soil can support a person."
Luo Xuan and Lao Min smashed the foundation with stones. Luo Xuan said with a bitter smile, "They are used to living freely. If I tell them any work discipline, I guess all of them will run away."
"yes."
Lao Min nodded, "In the past, the counties and cities in the mainland that provided counterpart assistance here also allocated some recruitment quotas.
From front to back in the entire village, I’m afraid there will be no less than a dozen people sent out.”
"But no one could work in the factory for more than a month. In the end, they all ran away... They couldn't stand that kind of restraint."
Lao Min smiled bitterly, "No matter how hard their lives are and how short of money they have, they are not willing to suffer that anger.
He said that going to work is like going to jail...it’s not cost-effective to earn a salary. Do you think it’s funny or not?”
Luo Xuan asked Lao Min, "Logically speaking, the educated youth center should be located inside the village. Do you think you can't accommodate them, so you just moved outside?"
"Suna! Here comes Atari..."
Lao Min cursed angrily, "I was driven out of the village by them!"
Luo Xuan asked, "Why is this?"
Lao Min sighed, "I think back then, Ala was very high-spirited! Looking back on the past, I was also very ambitious!
However, being high-minded and reticent is like banishing an immortal to the earth. How can those mediocre people understand Allah’s ambitions and ideals?”
Luo Xuan frowned and said, "Speak humanly."
Lao Min sighed: "Oh, I jumped in the queue back then just to show off..."
Luo Xuan asked, "What then?"
"Then...I failed to show off my coquettishness, and instead I became a coquettish person."
Lao Min's expression darkened, "My family used to run a photo studio in the old days.
Later, after the public-private partnership, the photo studio eliminated an old camera made in Germany."
Lao Min said, "Later, I came here to go to the countryside to join the queue.
So... I want to show off that I am a cultural person and a modern person.
He traveled thousands of miles and worked tirelessly to bring that camera here."
Lao Min said, "As soon as I arrived at the village, I shouted to take pictures of everyone."
"The result was a flash of light and a kacha sound..."
Old Min sighed, "Two old men and three older girls were so frightened that they fainted on the spot. Their skirts flew off from their bodies... They were just naked.
I ran home in a hurry, got under the bed and shivered... and never dared to come out again."
Old Min turned his head to the sky,
I was filled with emotion, "You don't know the scene at that time!"
"Pigs are raised here, and they are all free-range. They run wild all over the village."
"When the spotlight flashed, the pigs squawked, the chickens flew around, and the dogs were frightened... biting their owners' buttocks and chasing after them."
Lao Min couldn't laugh or cry, "The women cried, the babies howled, and the men were so frightened that they bumped into stones.
The old man fainted twice, and the old woman was frightened and fainted...Poor Emily is still paralyzed in bed."
Luo Xuan frowned, "Who is Emily? How could she be so scared that she became paralyzed?"
Lao Min has never been in shape.
But when Luo Xuan talked about Emily, it was only then that Lao Min finally showed a look of pain.
"Emily...is a miserable child. She has been blind since she was a child."
In Lao Min's eyes,
The water began to ripple, "But at that time, she could still walk with a limp.
If she had walked a little further, Emily could have crawled out the door to get some air by crawling from the ground."
"I have done a great sin!"
Lao Min slapped himself hard and loudly.
"Emily couldn't see anything. But when she was taking pictures, she was knocked to the ground by the frightened pig."
Lao Min slapped himself hard again.
this time,
The sound is louder and crisper...
"They harmed others and themselves, causing Emily to become paralyzed in bed, causing Emily's whole life to be ruined by farmers...
It’s called Nong Chongsao! It’s called Nong Show off!
It’s called Nong Xiu’s sense of superiority!
!”
As Lao Min muttered, he slapped himself hard. And the slap was harder than the previous slap!
Luo Xuan sighed, "Old Min, now that the matter is over, you don't have to blame yourself so much.
It's serious to try to see if there is any way to make up for Emily.
Now even if you slap your face into a pig's head, it won't help."
Old Min knelt on the ground with a bang and muttered, "How to make up for it? My monthly rations, plus the money sent from my family.
Most of it was given to Emily’s family. Apart from that, what else can I do?”
Luo Xuan patted Lao Min on the shoulder,
Comforting him softly, "Let's do the work first. Only after I have a house can I settle down here. After I understand the situation, I will try to see how I can help Emily."
Lao Min slowly raised his head,
He tilted his head and looked at Luo Xuan, "Everyone is responsible for what he does. This is the cause of my actions, so... I should bear the consequences."
"What did you say?"
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "We are all educated youths who are jumping in line. In the eyes of others, you and I are just a small group."
"If you get beaten, I will definitely not be able to eat meat."
Luo Xuan said, "If we offend someone in a certain village and they come to deal with us, I'm afraid they won't be able to tell who is who.
They will deal with you and me together, right?"
"We...Old Min, do you know the meaning of this word?"
Luo Xuan pulled Lao Min up and said, "You have the strength to slap yourself, so you might as well work hard and smash the foundation for me harder and smoother."
Lao Min looked at Luo Xuan quietly, his lips twitching...
Luo Xuan patted him, "Don't say anything. Not to mention nonsense like you like me. I'm... very stubborn about gender."
Lao Min's face suddenly turned cloudy and clear.
He chuckled and said, "It's a big mistake for you to bring your own dry food!"
Luo Xuan glared at him, "Why do you bring your own dry food? Didn't you see that Zhang Xiaoli is still a big girl? You are an old man, you can't tell that."
"After all, with her here, you won't be free."
Lao Min approached Luo Xuan with a lewd look on his face and lowered his voice, "When Namu and the others were playing on the ground just now, didn't you look at the scenery inside the skirt? It's so beautiful!"
"Just watch, when they finish their work in the evening, they will all jump into the creek next to it... Hehe!"
Old Min laughed so disgustingly, "I'm afraid you will hate yourself by then... How can you see with only two eyes?"
Luo Xuan kicked him and said, "Go to work! With the little rations you have, you can't even eat enough for your belly. You still think about all kinds of things all day long..."
Lao Min's chest puffed up, "It's hard to live in this place.
Aren’t you going to let me have some fun? Or else I’ll have to live as a beggar?”
Luo Xuan sighed, "Old Min, I remember that farmers were very high-spirited back then. Looking back on the past, you were also very ambitious... People can't live just for seeking.
You have to have some spiritual pursuits, you have to have lofty ideals, you have to have lofty goals..."
"Definitely!"
Lao Min quickly pulled up the rope tied to the stone, "Stop nagging me. Go to work, go to work! I really can't stand you."
Luo Xuan and Lao Min were working hard to lay the foundation with stones.
But I heard Namu's excited voice, "Look, Luo Xuan! What good thing did I catch?"
