Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, urea is a good thing. It helps crops grow strong. Who wouldn't want some? Where are you going with this basket?" Second Sister-in-law Liu proudly shook the basket in her hand and lifted a corner of the cloth covering it, revealing a bag of urea inside. The urea bag was white with the word "urea" printed in black on it, and the bag was tied tightly with a rope. "I'm going to fertilize my vegetable garden. I just got some urea from the brigade. Look, it's a full three pounds, more than the reward the team gave you." As she spoke, she deliberately raised her voice a few notches, as if to show off. Lin Xiaoju saw this and couldn't help but murmur. Second Sister-in-law Liu was usually notorious for being lazy. She always procrastinated at work and would slack off whenever possible. Last time the team organized a watering, she used the excuse of having something to do at home to sleep in. In the end, it was only after the team leader urged her several times that she reluctantly went. Why was she so proactive this time, even taking the initiative to fertilize the vegetable garden? There must be something fishy here. Just as she was thinking, Liu Ersao had already walked to the side of her own vegetable patch. Her vegetable patch was right next to Lin Xiaoju's responsibility field, and right next to Uncle Wang's vegetable patch next door. Liu Ersao squatted down, put the bamboo basket on the ground, carefully untied the rope of the urea bag, then grabbed the bag and sprinkled urea on the vegetable patch. Her movements of spreading urea were fast and urgent, as if she was pouring grain. White urea particles fell on the vegetable patch, many of which were scattered on the ridges next to them, and some crossed the ridges and were scattered in Uncle Wang's vegetable patch. At this time, Uncle Wang was picking spinach in his own vegetable patch. Uncle Wang is over sixty years old this year. His hair is already gray and his back is a little hunched, but he still can't sit still and comes to the vegetable patch to work every day. His spinach is green and tender, and it is obvious that it is the result of careful care. Uncle Wang was bending over, carefully pulling up spinach by the roots and placing it in a nearby bamboo basket, preparing to go home and make spinach soup for his wife. Suddenly, he felt something land on his head. He reached out and touched it, finding white particles. He put it to his nose and smelled a pungent odor. He immediately knew it was urea. Grandpa Wang looked up and saw that Liu Ersao was spreading urea in his vegetable garden. He immediately became unhappy, straightened up, and shouted to Liu Ersao: "Ersao, what's wrong with you? Why did you spread urea in my vegetable garden? Don't you have eyes?" When Liu Ersao heard Grandpa Wang's shout, she stopped what she was doing, turned around, and her face was full of indifference: "Uncle Wang, isn't it just a little urea? What's the big deal? Is there such a fuss? I was spreading it too hastily just now and didn't pay attention. I accidentally spread it in your vegetable garden. It's not a big deal." Grandpa Wang was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at his own vegetable garden, his voice trembling: "You call this not paying attention? Look at how much you spread in your vegetable garden. In my vegetable garden! You sprinkled urea on this whole field of spinach! You think urea is a good thing, the more you sprinkle it, the better? Urea is a good thing, but if you sprinkle too much, it will burn the vegetables, you know? My spinach is growing so well, it looks like it can be eaten soon, but you sprinkled it like this, and it’s all ruined! "Liu Ersao realized the seriousness of the problem, and the indifference on her face gradually disappeared, but she was still stubborn and unwilling to admit her mistake: "How can it be so exaggerated? I think you just want to blackmail me, isn’t it just a few spinach? At most, I will compensate you with a few. Is it necessary to be so angry? " "You...you woman, why are you so unreasonable!" Uncle Wang was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the spinach in his hand fell to the ground. Lin Xiaoju saw it clearly from the side and knew that if this continued, the two would definitely quarrel. She quickly stood up, walked over, and advised, "Second Sister-in-law, Uncle Wang is right. Too much urea will indeed burn the vegetables. Look how well Uncle Wang's spinach is growing. It would be such a shame if the urea burned them. Hurry and dig out the urea that was spilled on Uncle Wang's vegetable patch. Maybe you can save it, or Uncle Wang's spinach will be completely ruined." Seeing Lin Xiaoju's response, Second Sister-in-law Liu knew it was pointless to argue further, so she reluctantly squatted down and began digging the urea out of Uncle Wang's vegetable patch. Her movements were rough, her hands scrabbling through the patch, scattering white urea particles everywhere and even trampling over many spinach plants. Uncle Wang, looking at the trampled spinach, grew even more angry, but he couldn't say anything. He could only watch from the side, occasionally reminding her, "Be gentle! Don't trample all my spinach." Second Sister-in-law Liu was already upset, and Uncle Wang's reminder only intensified her impatience. She quickened her movements and accidentally pulled out several of Uncle Wang's spinach plants by the roots. The spinach leaves, still covered in dirt, looked fresh and tender, but she carelessly threw them to the ground. Uncle Wang was immediately furious. He pointed at Liu Ersao's nose and shouted, "Look at you! Look at you! Not only did you spread urea in my vegetable garden, but you also pulled out my spinach! You must compensate me today! You can't leave if you don't!" Liu Ersao panicked as she looked at the spinach she had pulled out. She knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't want to pay too much. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her voice was sobbing, "Uncle Wang, I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't mean to! Can't I compensate you? I have a few tomatoes at home, they're growing well. I'll go home and bring them to you, okay?" Uncle Wang looked at Liu Ersao's pitiful appearance, and his anger subsided a lot. He knew that Liu Ersao's family was not well off, and a few tomatoes were already a good compensation. He sighed and said, "That's better. Be more careful when you work next time and don't be so clumsy. If you do this again, I won't be polite to you." Liu Ersao nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice: "I know, I know, Uncle Wang, I will pay attention next time and won't do it again." Lin Xiaoju couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene. She walked forward and helped Liu Ersao to dig out the urea that was spread on the vegetable field bit by bit and put it into the small bag next to it. She also helped Uncle Wang to replant the spinach that had been pulled out and carefully watered it. Liu Ersao looked at Lin Xiaoju's busy figure, her heart full of gratitude. She said embarrassedly: "Xiaoju, thank you so much for today. If you hadn't mediated, Uncle Wang and I would have quarreled for who knows when, and we might have even quarreled to the point of chaos." Lin Xiaoju stood up, wiped the dirt off her hands, smiled and said: "It's okay, we are all from the same village, and it's only natural for us to help each other.
