The sturdy life of crossing

It has been less than half a month since the water source incident between the two villages, but when people in Yong'an Village mentioned Jian Leyang, they all gave a thumbs up and praised. It is a good thing to have a few who are not injured. The weather is hot, and people are injured, not to mention the cost of medical expenses, and whether they can be cured without sequelae is also a problem.

But this time they just moved a few stones and helped Yang Geer a little, and solved the incident so easily. The young and old in Yongchang Village were shocked by Yang Geer's move, making them afraid to do it again. The idea of ​​cutting off the water.

Jian Leyang went to the river to fetch water again, and the people in front of the line immediately gave up their seats, letting him pick first, instead of queuing at the back, Jian Leyang humbly gave way a bit, but couldn't push him, so he jumped into the line cheekily, waved to these guys and left When I was there, I shook my head with a smile in my heart. Although there were discordant voices in the village, generally speaking, most people were still very simple. Compared with the complicated environment in the last days, this place can be regarded as simple.

Before, there were people talking behind their backs about the remarriage, but now whoever brings it up again, they will be sprayed back immediately. Widow Qian walked back with a resentful face. My brother, who was pointed at her nose and scolded her severely, she turned around and left in anger. She kept poking bad luck along the way, but when she looked up, she was so frightened that her soul flew away. It was Jian Leyang, the evil star, who came over, Widow Qian She hurriedly chose a way to escape. She also went to watch the fun that day. Seeing Jian Leyang throwing five or sixty catties of stones was like throwing a piece of tofu. Thinking about it, she felt ashamed, and she never dared to force Jian Leyang to marry her natal brother idea.

When Jian Leyang saw the widow Qian who fled in front of him, he sneered, and walked for a while, when he was stopped by someone, he covered his eyes with his hand to block the glare of the sun, and looked at the big tall man blocking the way, Jian Leyang said angrily : "Good dogs don't get in the way, Zhao Erhu, what are you doing in front of me?"

This idiot, after the day's work, he actually entrusted someone to check on his family. The person entrusted by Yong'an Village was Tian Xiaoniu's mother, Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao scolded him back on the spot. What Brother Yang said that day was fart. She knew that Brother Yang had something to say, and she would never regret it if she let it out. After scolding back, she still got to the bottom of it in front of Jian Niang, but Jian Niang was furious. As for the behavior of that idiot that day, no matter how good he was, she couldn't agree to it. In Jian Niang's eyes, that idiot Huo is a reckless man, how can he be worthy of his brother?

Her brother is not only strong, but his ability to read and write is much stronger than his younger brother when he was a child. The husband often sighs in front of her. If Brother Yang is not a brother, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in the imperial examination. .

Aunt Zhao told Jian Niang behind Jian Leyang's back, but Jian Niang never thought of hiding it from her brother, who was already in charge of the family, so she told Jian Leyang the truth and scolded that idiot severely .

So when this person appeared at this moment, did he not give up on the rejection of the marriage proposal and came here in person?

Zhao Erhu didn't have the guts of the Xiongxin leopard that day, not only because he fell in love with Jian Leyang and wanted to marry him, but also his father analyzed after returning home that day, Jian Leyang's elder brother's skill and force were completely above them, Jian Leyang If he had to do it, the three of them, father and son, might not be able to take him down together, so how could Zhao Erhu dare to rely on his strength to be fearless.

Zhao Erhu shrank his neck and rubbed his hands, and smiled at Jian Leyang: "Brother Yang, I'm not trying to get in your way, I just want to talk to you for a while, don't be angry, by the way, I'll help you choose water."

As he said that, he was about to come over to grab the water load on Jian Leyang's shoulders. How could a brother do this kind of rough work? I didn't see that brother Yang was born with thin skin and tender flesh.

If he had to step back, the water in the bucket would definitely spill out. Water is precious right now, so without thinking about it, Jian Leyang kicked Zhao Erhu's knee with a lump of soil, making his knee numb and almost kneel down.

Jian Leyang scolded: "Stop! Who wants you to choose for me? If you have something to say, get out of here!" It was a hot day, and even he was a little irritable, and his words were not in a good mood.

Zhao Erhu's face collapsed, because he offended Jian Leyang that day. Before he came here, he asked his father, brother and sister-in-law how he could chase him down and let him get what he wanted. As the saying goes, three cobblers make one Zhuge Liang , so these three people really gave him a lot of ideas, but in summary, there is only one point, that is, we must work hard on Jian Leyang himself. I have not heard from Aunt Zhao. In Jian's family, Jian Leyang, a brother, is completely in charge. .

Therefore, it is still necessary to work hard on Jian Leyang, relying on sincerity to impress Jian Leyang, let him nod and agree, then everything will be fine.

Unexpectedly, he encountered setbacks as soon as he made a move, and the method told to him by his elder brother and sister-in-law was completely useless. If he wanted to help Jian Leyang, he couldn't just do it if he wanted to.

Zhao Erhu hurriedly moved out of the way, and when Jian Leyang walked in front, he still licked his face and asked, "Brother Yang, carrying water now is for watering the ground, so I'll water the ground for you later? I only have all my strength, what?" Can do anything, really!"

Jian Leyang cast a glance lightly, and said, "I can't do what you can do? Do you go up the mountain to fight tigers or go into the water to catch fish?"

"Don't, Brother Yang, it's different if two people do it together than if one person does it alone..."

Jian Leyang walked faster and faster, and Zhao Erhu had to speed up to catch up. Such a big man was erected in Yong'an Village, someone had discovered it a long time ago, and immediately reported it, so before Jian Leyang reached the ground, he saw his brother with his sleeves rolled up. He ran towards this side with a ladle in his hand, and when he got close, he pointed at Zhao Erhu and shouted, "Who told you to come? You go, you hurry up, we don't welcome people from Yongchang Village in Yong'an Village."

This bastard, Xiao misses his brother, not to mention there is no door, there is not even a window!

Although Jian Wenyuan was very short compared to Zhao Erhu, but with his sleeves rolled up and his hips akimbo, his momentum was not weak at all. As for the scoop in his hand, Jian Leyang who passed by him snatched it away.

Zhao Erhu watched Jian Leyang walk away helplessly, but there was nothing he could do with the little guy in front of him. If he wasn't Jian Leyang's younger brother, Zhao Erhu could have lifted him aside with two fingers, but now he can't move a finger Not to mention, Jian Wenyuan took the lead, and several people ran out of the field to surround Zhao Erhu, but he was not allowed to approach Jian Leyang.

"You..." Zhao Erhu stared blankly, "I'm helping your brother with the work, so are you going to let your brother do all the work by himself?"

"I'll go back and help my brother after you leave, so hurry up and don't delay my time, I'm busy!" Jian Wenyuan said with his chest up.

"That's right, you people in Yongchang Village are too thick-skinned, you are so shameless to come here after being defeated by Brother Yang, are you ashamed!" Other friends who are not much different from Jian Wenyuan's age coaxed Zhao Erhu.

Zhao Erhu stretched out his hand, and someone shouted immediately: "You dare to hit someone? You dare to hit someone, even if you hit us, Brother Yang will definitely avenge us!" One by one, they put their small bodies on Zhao Erhu, come and hit them! , Who is afraid of whom?

Rao even Zhao Erhu couldn't bear all these little ones, put them in Yongchang Village, he frightened, and those children ran as far as they could in fright, but they were helpless when they arrived in Yong'an Village, Zhao Erhu beat his chest and stamped his feet, and finally had to watch Looking at Jian Leyang's distant figure, he said to Jian Wenyuan: "I will come again, I won't just admit defeat like this!"

Jian Wenyuan was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he went back to the field and told his brother what Zhao Erhu had said before he left. Jian Leyang knocked him on the head with a ladle, and said amusedly, "Why fight with him? It's useful if he says he doesn't admit defeat? Okay. Alright, after watering the ground, hurry back, I didn’t even notice that I’ve been tanned in the past few days.”

After hearing what his brother said, Jian Wenyuan's mood improved, and he followed behind his brother: "Brother, of course I can't compare with you, as long as I don't get tanned." Hey, his mother said his brother It's a natural beauty, but his brother doesn't like to hear such words, so he silently said a sentence in his heart.

Walking back after pouring the water, I met many people sighing on the ground. It has been half a month, but God still hasn't rained even a drop of rain. Even if Yongchang Village didn't intercept the water, the water level in the river is still dropping , if there is no more rain, the water in this river will not know how long it will last.

Jian Leyang frowned when he heard that, although he had made a lot of preparations, and with his and his grandfather's ability, the family could survive the difficult time, but he also hoped that the drought would ease, as he told his father when harvesting summer grain Similarly, not only did the food tax not decrease a little, but it was increased by half of the usual amount, which was enough to make the lives of ordinary people even more miserable.

Back home, Jane's father and mother had just finished their work, and they were sweating profusely from the heat, and the school was closed on such a hot day.

Jian Niang greeted the two children who came back: "Go into the house and rest. It's so hot in the morning. Don't go out for a walk at noon. We'll talk about it later in the evening. The rich people in this city store ice cubes in winter." , life can be a little easier in hot weather, but we farmers can’t do it.”

Jian Niang said that she wiped the sweat for Father Jian distressedly. Father Jian suffered the most. He still insisted on reading and practicing calligraphy in this kind of day, and it was so hot at night that he couldn't sleep well. It would be great if there were ice cubes in this house. , at least get a good night's sleep.

ice cubes?

Hearing Jian Niang's words, Jian Leyang's heart skipped a beat. He remembered an ancient way of making ice on earth, using saltpeter to make water freeze. Looking at his father and Wen Yuan at home, they had lost weight obviously, and he could see it too. Distressed.

Just do what you say, Jian Leyang finished drinking the mung bean soup his mother brought, wiped his mouth and said: "Mother, I'll go to the town and talk to Grandpa and Doctor Hua if I have something to say. Wen Yuan stays at home, so don't run away with me."
