"Child, come here."

The fourth uncle waved Xu Tianxin over. After carefully reading his first reaction, he was puzzled and wondered why he didn't follow the good looks of his parents.

Needless to say, Arita is a handsome man, tall and tall.

As for this child's mother, if I want my fourth uncle to tell the truth, she has no other merits except good looks.

Because Arita's daughter-in-law's family was poor, and she was obviously better off living in the town than in the village, but her father was a gambler and offered fifteen taels of silver to sell her daughter. That's how the girl committed suicide by jumping into the river and was saved by Arita.

Arita gave her another fifteen taels of silver and took her home as her daughter-in-law.

It was just two good years after giving birth to Tian Xin that she suffered a massive hemorrhage and died before the first month of confinement.

The fourth uncle thought to himself: The child's grandma and uncle's family should still be in the town. I heard that although the gambler's grandpa is dead, there is nothing in the family. The life is incomparable to that of the Xu family. They can't live with nothing.

I rarely see my granddaughter.

That's why the fourth uncle looked at Xu Tianxin carefully and wondered, let's just say, this girl's mother also has an appearance that can make young boys look at her. Otherwise Tian wouldn't have lost his wife for so many years, but why does this girl look so dark?

My hair is a mess, it's not ugly anyway, it just feels sloppy.

"Tell Grandpa, if you can lead your younger brothers and sisters to complete the method according to your suggestion."

Of course there will be adults at the back.

For example, they, the old guys, and some of the strong laborers would make boats at the entrance of the village, ensuring the safety of the children while working.

But when children fight, they always need someone to take them with them.

Xu Tianxin whispered slowly: "Yes, I just need to prepare in advance."

The fourth uncle looked at the seventh uncle beside him: "It doesn't sound like she's doing anything serious, but I don't know what's going on. I believe her when she says she can."

"Steady, I have that steady energy in me."

"Okay, then Grandpa will ask you to give me your milk to calculate your work points. No matter what, I will give you seven points."

Xu Tianxin's expression finally showed something strange: "No need."

She doesn't know how to do anything else. She has tried pushing rocks and moving earth, but she can't earn a cent. If anyone really gives her work points, she will feel that she is a relative of grandma.

The Seventh Master said: "If you want it, you will have to settle accounts with everyone in the future."

That Liu Jingdong, you know without asking that he is a sloppy scholar, so don't expect him to settle the score.

But the boy is also good. The children in our village are very simple, and they are better than his father anyway.

The Fourth Master has already announced, "Everyone, please be quiet. Tian Xin missed the seven-pointer."

"That's great." Emma, ​​I really didn't expect this girl to know how to do everything.

The little daughter-in-law also whispered: "No wonder the boss can be so good at catching up. I finally understand what's going on."

I heard that the son of the catcher's family is learning to be a shopkeeper. If the family marries a daughter-in-law who knows how to settle accounts, the young couple will be able to do any business in the future.

There is also a mother-in-law who is telling her daughter, "Did you see that a girl's brains are worth money? You can get seven cents for them."

The scores for the eldest girls and young wives in the village usually range from 2 to 5 points. Only Yingzi, the bald girl from Guan, has a score of 7 because she is the leader of the eldest girls and young wives team.

When Mai Miao heard everyone praising Tian Xin while working, she thought not to mention how beautiful she is. The whole village knew that she and Xu Tianxin were close. Her mother also took a look at her last night. Unlike usual, she was the second daughter in the family, with the eldest sister above and the bottom below.

She has two younger sisters who are inconspicuous.

But Mai Miao has also wondered when Tian Xin learned these skills, and why she feels less talkative recently. However, Tian Xin should be very happy now, because just now she saw Liu Jingdong staring at Tian Xin.

Look straight.

Not only Mai Miao was silly and happy, but there was also Yu Qiniang who had arrived belatedly.

"Why are you here? It was just announced that your niece has scored seven points. Your niece is also so capable."

"The ones designated are my mother-in-law and my eldest uncle."

Look at this guy who didn’t even ask for a reason. He just gave the conclusion. That’s great.

When Yu Qiniang replied, she did not forget to ask the women: "Madam, do you want to keep the fertile land for the firewood pile ashes in your house?"

"Without those things, my family already has a lot of savings, so what are you going to do?" Why are you bringing up such a sad thing?

Yu Qinniang remembered that her mother-in-law had mentioned it when her children were eating chicken, saying that they should save more plant ashes and don't throw them away to plant vegetables or something in the future.

She thought that she didn't have any work points anyway, so after finishing the work, she would use a bag to collect the ashes from the burned firewood pile, and then go home with a lot of bags of dust.

Mrs. Xu turned around and saw her silly daughter-in-law asking around: "Auntie, do you still want the ashes from the firewood pile that was burned at your house?"

Mrs. Xu grabbed Yu Qinniang and said, "Let's eat, you are gray and gray. Come on, you can also eat from my bowl."

"But, mother, I don't have any work points." Yu Qinniang felt that as a "dailizheng" family member, she should set an example so as not to cause trouble to her mother-in-law and lose authority in front of the villagers.

"You can eat as much as you want, and you will come to work on the dam soon. Behave well, and your work points will be calculated for you starting tomorrow."

Mrs. Xu thought that she would be able to work under the whole dam's nose, so that Yu Qinniang would be able to relax if she was not prepared.

Otherwise, you all don’t know that yesterday, her stupid daughter-in-law brought home four big baskets of mushrooms with a sling on her arms and her head on her head, and there were also bags of wild vegetables as big as those in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy hanging on the front. The family members in the live broadcast room again

I watched helplessly as he entered the hospital sideways.

The women who paid attention here sighed and said: "If you don't want to eat, let your daughter-in-law eat first. Otherwise, this person will have nowhere to look. He will become the boss after sleeping overnight."

She really can't say in her conscience that Tian Xin milk was good to her daughter-in-law in the past.

"It used to be the past. Look at the rest of us. Two days ago, we were still fighting for some rotten cabbage leaves. Now I'm carrying a big bag for everyone to eat. We just looked at the river and it was bright. You want to care about the fragrant flowers?

As for my son, her mind will only become more open-minded. Who is still focusing on things at home? Changes are normal."

The woman who was talking used a spoonful to scoop up more fish for San Mengzi.

Sanmengzi smiled and said, "Auntie is generous. She scoops more for me than for your Qingzi."

"Of course, my Qingzi won't be able to win a fight with you, so he should eat less."

The entire village of Erdaohe stood or squatted by the river, eating mouthfuls of dry food and fish soup.

Even though the people who were tying up the big tree were quite far away, they could still hear the sound of slurping soup, which made them hungry.

I also heard people from Erdaohe Village saying:

"Mom, this fish soup is so delicious. It's the first time I drink it."

"Is it fresh? We have fish this time, and my stepmother will cook more soup for you."

Even the Fourth Uncle slurped his tongue when he ate the braised fish head in soy sauce, and the Seventh Uncle and the other old men had their hands full of sauce, and even the fish pickles were chewed deliciously.

When will this river surface be completely occupied, he will sit on the Kang, eat fish jelly and drink wine.

Even Liu Jingdong felt that eating in Dam was better than at home.

Wang Yusheng squatted by the river and ate, and he was so happy that he almost got a fishbone stuck in his throat: "Look, those people on the other side have returned from putting out the fire."

His face was black, with white streaks and black streaks, and his hair was also bristle.

These words made everyone look over, and sure enough, there were many Wangjiagou villagers standing on the other side, and Wang Laobao seemed to be jumping around and cursing.

"Are you scolding us? Give them a few words in reply."

Then Mrs. Xu heard the boys in the village shouting to the other side:

"Have you eaten? Are you tired enough?"

"Should!!"

"What? If you want people, bring fish, eight ships!"

"What do you want fish for? I'll beat you up when I'm full!!"

The older people all started laughing too, and the food tasted even better.

——

Someone came from the other side that afternoon, a coder.

It is said that all the people from other villages who are related to Wangjiagou by marriage have come, especially the in-laws of the eight captured prisoners.

And Wang Laoba is working under Lai Zi in nearby Shiliba Village.

At this time, the boys from the Sun family in Erdaohe Village were in the dense forest, using professional pine nut cracking tools to carefully remove birch bark.

Only birch bark is extremely flexible, and with a large amount of oil, it is not easy to penetrate water and rot.

The boys of the Sun family took the Fourth Grandpa's words to heart, not to damage the root of the tree during the peeling process, so that the birch bark can still grow next year, and they must consider the future generations.

There was another group of men cutting down pine trees in the forest, shouting slogans and carrying them down.

They would use pine boards as a skeleton to support the hull.

This is in the woods.

The village is even more orderly.

Among the old men in their fifties and the first group of injured men, some were throwing putty, and some were sitting at the entrance of the village boiling fish maw glue, rolling hemp, cutting wooden wedges, assembling fish baskets and making fish nets.

Even Lao Zhai Tou brought out a few tiles and placed them on the firewood. He sat tremblingly at the entrance of the village and fried fish oil for everyone.

Select the oily fish from the fish, cut the fish into pieces, and a little bit of the roasted fish oil will flow into the earthen pot under the tiles. Mix the fish residue with some salt and dry food for the boys to eat.
