Rebirth 80: Start by earning money to build a brick house

The temperature during the wheat harvest season also reached over 30 degrees, and the intense sunlight made everyone sweat profusely.

However, the thorns in the wheat force people to wear long sleeves. Without long sleeves, both arms will be scratched and scratched when cutting the wheat.

Coupled with the salty sweat, the feeling is really sour and not painful, but it is hot and sweaty, so it will keep itching.

Zhang Ziming was also extremely hot. It would be nice to have an old popsicle at this time. It would be cold to the stomach and cool to every pore.

But now in 1980, there are still no people in rural areas carrying wooden boxes and selling ice cream on the streets.

It seems that when the wheat was harvested in the 90s, some people wandered around the wheat fields to earn money selling ice cream.

The more I think about it, the hotter I feel, and the more I think about it, the thirstier I feel.

He stood up and shouted to Zhang Xiaoyong:

"Xiaoyong, let's go back with me and get some water for everyone to quench their thirst."

Xiaoyong is a hardworking person who is reluctant to put down the sickle in his hand.

As soon as the sickle is put down, I feel slack and can no longer work hard.

"Ziming, just call a girl to deliver water. There is no need to waste our two strong labors. I guess someone will come to deliver water later."

Zhang Xiaoyong didn't want to go back to get water. For a grown man, the job of delivering water was definitely a sneaky act in the eyes of others.

Zhang Ziming doesn't want to cut the wheat, and no one will tell him anything.

If Zhang Xiaoyong delivers water, he won't be able to wipe his face off.

Isn't this an obvious way to accuse someone of cheating and cheating?

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyong shaking his head, Zhang Ziming felt helpless.

When working, some people find every opportunity to be lazy;

And some people, like Zhang Xiaoyong, would not dare to take an easier job if he was given one.

As the brigade secretary, Zhang Zhonghe doesn't work in the fields very much.

It wasn't until the implementation of "big contract work" that no work points were calculated and each family worked independently that he went to work on his few acres of land.

At this time, he was also standing on the ground, looking like he was supervising the battle.

No one would say anything if the brigade secretary did not go out to cut wheat. Everyone was used to it.

At this time, Zhang Zhonghe was puzzled when he saw that Zhang Ziming wanted to go back and get water for everyone to drink.

"Ziming, I'll go back to find some girls and bring some water. There's no need for you to go back." Zhang Zhonghe also said.

Zhang Zhonghe was not worried about losing Zhang Ziming's labor force, but he just felt it was unnecessary.

It has always been the job of women to deliver water to the fields. It is estimated that someone will come to deliver water after a while.

Zhang Yeping, who always likes to be lazy, also curled his lips and said:

"The wheat harvest has just begun. If I have time to go back to fetch water, the wheat will be harvested."

Zhang Ziming understood what others said, but it was just that he felt it was unnecessary.

But this Zhang Yeping always said sarcastic words as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone could hear it.

Zhang Ziming was not polite and said directly:

"Ye Ping, if it were someone else, it would take one long stretch of wheat to cut the end of the harvest in the time it takes to go back to carry water, but if it were you, you probably wouldn't be able to get to the end in two trips, right?"

As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Yeping has never been a work material, not even a woman.

What he said just now is really not nonsense. Even if he carries water back and forth for two times, Zhang Yeping may not be able to cut all the wheat.

Zhang Yeping felt uncomfortable, lowered his head angrily, and took out the sickle to vent his anger.

Although he is a rural person, he is not suitable for farm work and is definitely a backward element among his peers.

Ignoring this useless guy, Zhang Ziming shouted to the big guy:

"Dear laborers, the temperature is estimated to be around [-] degrees now. Give me half an hour. How about I go back and make you some refreshing drinks to relieve the heat?"

Hearing this, everyone responded one after another. Just hearing the word drink made them salivate.

There is nowhere to drink these days, I just heard this word.

"Ziming, go back and get it quickly. I'm really thirsty now."

"Yes, yes, hurry up. I'm so old and I've had drinks. What is a drink?"

Everyone is urging Zhang Ziming to go back and make drinks. There are so many people here, and there are still two villages with strong labor force, and you are the only one missing.

Wouldn't it be great if we could make drinks so that everyone can enjoy them and be energetic at work?

When Zhang Zhonghe heard everyone's response, he agreed and asked Zhang Xiaoyong to go back with him.

This time Zhang Xiaoyong had nothing to say. He put down the sickle and went back to get water.

"Ziming, what kind of drink do you want to make? I heard there is a soda that is sour and sweet. Can you make it?"

On the way back, Zhang Xiaoyong was inevitably a little curious. Soda is not that easy to make. At least it has to be gassy, ​​right?

"I don't know how to make soda. I just make some cold water for everyone to relieve the heat, but there will be something mixed in it. When I go to your house later, your well water will be the sweetest in the whole village."

Zhang Ziming answered while thinking about his own thoughts.

The well in Zhang Xiaoyong's home is considered the best in the village, which is why Zhang Xiaoyong was asked to come back with him.

Some wells in other people's homes have lazy water, and some are slightly turbid.

Only the water well in Zhang Xiaoyong's home is cool and sweet, which is the most suitable for him.

"Xiaoyong, you go home first, prepare a few more buckets, and find a few aunts to carry water with you. I'll go home and get something, and then go to your house." Zhang Ziming arranged that he would go back first Get important materials from home.

There are too many people in the field. Just two people, Zhang Ziming and Zhang Xiaoyong, can only get 4 buckets of water per load at most, which is really not enough to drink.

There are so many people, and if one person drinks from a large teapot, it will take five or six people to carry the water.

"Okay, no problem. I'll go back and get a few buckets of water first. You can make drinks right away when you come." Although Zhang Xiaoyong didn't understand how to make drinks, he believed in Zhang Ziming.

"No, don't rush to fetch water. It won't be cold if you fetch it earlier. Just wait until I get there before fetching water." Zhang Ziming said quickly.

The weather is so hot, it won't be cool when you wake up early, and if you don't feel cool, you won't be able to relieve the heat.

The two separated at the entrance of the village. Zhang Ziming returned home and started rummaging around.

When I went back to the supply and marketing cooperative last time, I bought two kilograms from outside. I guess my father and mother were not willing to use it, so they should still be there.

The bowl frame at home is not big, so I found it as soon as I looked for it.

Then he also brought an iron bucket from his home. If the bucket was not enough, he would not be able to drink happily.

To be honest, Zhang Ziming has never tried the preparation of this drink. Today is the first time he makes it, and he is really a little worried.

After arriving at Zhang Xiaoyong's house, I found that several aunties were also waiting.

I heard that I was going to make a drink, so I followed him over. He had to drink to his heart's content first, and then go to carry water.

On a hot day, men are afraid of heat, and so are women.

I have to wear one more piece of clothing than a man, how can I not get hot?
