Chapter 217 Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors
Making the kang required small labor, and Li Zhengguo hadn't had time to call the Wang family.
Li Jianguo came over to help.
Ma Changying pulled her eldest son Yang Mu, 15, and nephew Yang Hai, 14, over.
"It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Brothers Rong Guo need help here. Just call them. These kids are old enough to help with work and they can also take the opportunity to learn some skills."
"I shamelessly sent them here. You uncles should teach them well."
Li Zhengguo understood Ma Changying's thoughts, no, I should say the thoughts of the new neighbors at the end of the village, and they were driven by interests.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Ma, we won't hide anything. As long as they want to learn, just ask."
"Uncle Zhengguo, uncle Rongguo, we will learn it seriously."
Yang Mu and his cousin greeted Li Zhengguo and Li Rongguo, then picked up the shovel and mud.
Li Zhengguo nodded, he was a discerning man, "Sister-in-law Ma, don't worry."
Ma Changying was also satisfied with her eldest son's activity, so he turned around and went to weed the fields behind the house.
It's about to be harvested next month, and the weeds will take away the fertility of the field. Not to mention, adding egg shell powder to the fertilizer will really make a difference in the crops.
Li Zhengguo looked at Li Jianguo, who was helping to carry bricks, and he seemed to be more haggard and older than before.
"Cousin Jianguo."
"Huh?" Li Jianguo raised his head blankly.
"Your daughter's finger can be cut off by going to the hospital. It is a genetic mutation and has nothing to do with anyone or anything. Don't listen to other people's nonsense. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of slanted shadows."
"Really?" Li Jianguo's eyes flashed with tears.
"Really, don't think too much. The sooner you cut it, the better. If you don't have enough money, take it from me."
"Okay, I get it, I get it."
Li Jianguo raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, then continued to move bricks.
Vitality suddenly burst out from his body.
Li Zhengguo sighed, his uncle's family was originally one of the best in the village, how did it end up like this?
"First cousin, getting a wife is the most critical turning point for a family, right?"
"Yes." Li Rongguo was full of energy, "I must make my father-in-law regret it."
"That is, my eldest cousin, how can he be underestimated? Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi."
The young cousin's bold words made Li Rongguo flinch a little. His goal was not big, "Haha, yes, I just want to give Meimei some air, so she won't regret it."
Li Zhengguo, who understood his cousin's temperament, changed the subject, "My cousin's wasteland has been opened up. Ask Ouyang Lei to get you some plastic sheets and build a vegetable shed properly. Two acres of land is enough."
"Let's plant soybeans in the wasteland in the south. Soybeans nourish the land. It doesn't matter if you harvest more or less in the first season. Just nurture the land well. If you want to raise seedlings and plant them again, you can ask Tiantian to help."
"Okay, okay." Li Rongguo responded repeatedly, "Meimei said she doesn't know how to farm, but she can ask her brother-in-law for any needs. I won't be polite. I just want to ask him for soybean seeds."
Li Zhengguo continued to give his cousin some advice to increase his popularity. "By the way, I asked Ouyang Lei to help me buy a few donkeys. Seeing that the wheat harvest was about to begin, I needed them for the finals. I asked the team to write an IOU and pay them back with food. Ouyang Lei was sure
Happy."
"Okay, I'll ask the captain first if I want it, and then I'll ask Ouyang Lei."
Li Zhengguo felt relieved that his cousin could have his own ideas.
Mother Li dragged her daughter to chop bamboo for her, and she wanted to make mats, baskets, baskets and dustpans.
Ouyang Meihua followed and looked at it, wanting to take action, but sawing bamboo was like chopping a person, and splitting bamboo strips was like cutting a person.
Mother Li was so frightened that she asked her to stop, "Just stay with Tiantian."
Ouyang Meihua looked at her hands, they were very rough. Why couldn't she do these tasks?
Tian Jing laughed, "Don't force yourself. Whatever you were like before, you will be like in the future. My cousin and Damai are both very capable. They can do all these jobs."
"Then what can I do?"
Ouyang Meihua suddenly realized that she was absolutely useless.
"You are so strong. Aren't you the ones who picked up the soil on the wasteland to the south from the mountain? Weren't you the ones who picked those stones back to the courtyard to pave the crossroads?"
"Why don't you comfort me? I finally know why I can't get married."
"Hahahaha." Tian Jing laughed heartily, "You are obviously married."
"Hmph! If my younger brother hadn't plotted against me, or if I hadn't been drunk, I, alas~ forget it, I didn't understand it before, but these days of living at home, I understand it. Li Rongguo married me, it's really a disaster
…”
"That's really eight lifetimes worth of virtue."
Mother Li snatched Ouyang Meihua's words, "Meihua, Rongguo cherishes you very much. What you brought to him is a completely different feeling from before."
"He is a bit cowardly, but your strength makes him have no worries. He has been holding his head high when talking and doing things recently."
"Don't underestimate yourself. It's best for two people to be together and complement each other."
"But……"
"Stop it." Tian Jing answered: "The changes in my cousin are indeed due to you, and he is confident. Ouyang Lei's plan is to let you take charge of the outside world, and my cousin takes charge of the inside."
"Although it's not really like this, it's almost the same. You just need to accompany your cousin well and do what you can and know how to do. Damai and the others can do the rest."
"You..." Ouyang Meihua looked at Mother Li and then at Tian Jing, "You really don't think I'm a failure as a woman?"
"It depends on whose home you are placed."
Tian Jing patted her shoulder, "If you put it in other people's homes or your parents' home, it would be a real failure. It is not suitable for being a housewife or daughter. But if you place it in your cousin's home, it will be just right."
"Aren't you going to comfort me?"
"It's not a consolation. You met the right person in the right place at the right time."
Ouyang Meihua felt relieved, but she had been holding back for several days.
…
Three days later, Ouyang Lei gave his eldest brother-in-law two rolls of plastic sheeting and some vegetable seeds, as well as some bricks and cement to build the wall of the vegetable shed.
He bought three donkeys for the production team and asked his eldest brother-in-law to take them to negotiate.
He took advantage of the situation and collected the vegetables from Li Zhengguo's vegetable shed. Among all the vegetables, those grown by Daxia Tian were the most delicious, followed by Brother Wang's and Brother Niu's.
Now that there are donkeys in the team, the members are full of energy as they look at the crops in the field.
I go to the fields every day to pull weeds and count the days for harvest.
…
Since there is no need to use plastic sheets for the vegetable shed in summer, Li Rongguo first built up the walls according to the size of his cousin's vegetable shed.
Many people came to help, and all the members knew that it was Li Rongguo who took the initiative to help the team buy the donkey.
After a busy few days, the second son of Captain Ou’s family moved and started a warm house wine business.
It's the same mother Li who goes there and gets the same two yuan share.
…
The wheat is almost ready for harvest.
Li Zhengguo and Tian Jing planned to go into the mountains.
Taking advantage of the lack of people in the morning, Tian Jing, who was forcibly kissed awake, took Li Zhengguo, who was carrying a load of knitting items, into the mountain.
Tian Jing chatted leisurely with Xiao Song.
Li Zhengguo was busy folding bags around the banquet and hooping up all the grain.
After finishing their work on Qingsong Rock and getting off the hot springs, the Wolf King came over with Xiao Hei in his mouth.
Xiao Hei whined and threw himself at Tian Jing's feet.
"Hmph! You two, father and son, still have a conscience."
Tian Jing bent down and touched Xiao Hei. He hadn't seen him for more than ten days and Xiao Hei had become much stronger.
Thinking of the pitiful appearance held by its father just now, Tian Jing couldn't help but scold the Wolf King, "How old is Xiao Hei? You are still holding it in your mouth, how can you teach it to run and jump?"
The Wolf King turned away from her.
Li Zhengguo raised the corner of his mouth, "The wolf king is afraid that the cub will not follow him."
Tian Jing nodded at Xiao Hei, "It's been very busy at the bottom of the mountain recently. We won't be able to come up for a long time. You should practice your skills with your father."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xiao Hei rubbed his head on Tian Jing's hand, and Tian Jing scratched it, "Okay, okay, you are always a wolf, don't act like a dog."
