"Xiaolong?"

"Yes, it's a rat snake!"

Shen Fuyou explained while supporting his elder brother.

Shen Fugui walked in limping with one arm on his second uncle's shoulder. Beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, and his face was pale.

Today Shen Fugui also participated in digging the reservoir.

He didn't put in much effort yesterday, just doing some work like cleaning up sand, branches, and grass roots, which made Li Laitou from the village extremely dissatisfied.

Li Laitou is used to being lazy on weekdays and only hoes his own wheat field when he feels like it.

Therefore, he is not very good at doing this kind of hard and tiring physical work.

Yesterday, Li Lai Tou worked with other men to dig a reservoir under the scorching sun. The soil on the ground was as hard as stone, as if it was deliberately against him. He could only dig up a small piece with his hoe.

Looking at the men next to him, they were working much harder than him.

Li Lai Tou adhered to the principle of not tiring himself out while tiring others out, and pretended to work.

However, comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!

After an entire afternoon of hard work, Li Laitou's waist was almost broken from hoeing, and his throat was smoking with thirst. However, the men beside him seemed to be fine and were still full of energy.

It’s not that the other men didn’t notice that Li Lai Tou was slacking off.

Secondly, everyone knows that Li Laitou is a gangster and a bachelor. He is the kind of person who can feed his family if he feeds himself.

They are the pillars of their families and have to take care of the harvest from the fields. This reservoir is their hope, and everyone just hopes that it can be dug as soon as possible.

After all, the wheat in the field cannot be delayed.

The wheat filling period is ten to twenty days, and filling has already begun.

However, due to the lack of water, the wheat stalks and leaves in the village have begun to turn slightly yellow. The wheat cannot produce enough water, and the pollen is significantly less than in previous years.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, no one dares to be reluctant.

Except for Li Lai Tou and others who didn't care at all.

Li Lai Tou was working while looking around, and saw that Zhao Lizheng was also busy at the side, so he didn't dare to be lazy blatantly.

He waited until Zhao Lizheng left to investigate the shaft before he dared to sit aside and rest.

It doesn’t matter that he takes a break. What matters is that he doesn’t want to continue working. It’s so comfortable to lie down and look at the sky, the mountains, and the people!

Bored Li Lai Tou began to look around with his squinty eyes.

He either stares at the buttocks of the young wives in the village, or stares at someone's older daughter.

While watching, he grinned and laughed.

Everyone was busy working and didn't notice his little movement.

Only Shen Fugui happened to be clearing branches and weeds. When he looked up, he saw Li Laitou staring at Chunyan, the daughter of Lu Dahua.

Chunyan was just cleaning up the dug-up soil, carrying two small baskets on a shoulder pole to a wasteland on the side.

The girl is at the age of blooming and full of vitality.

Although Chunyan's mother Lu Dahua said that she and Li Dahu are currently discussing marriage, she can stay at home and wait for her marriage without having to go out to work.

But her father Zhang Youtian said: The whole village is working together to accomplish great things, and more people mean more effort.

Zhang Chunyan also wanted to secretly take a few glances at her sweetheart Li Dahu, so she took a piece of floral cloth to wrap her head and face to prevent sunburn, and went out happily.

The girl was carrying a load on her back, and the two lumps on her shirt rose and fell with her movements, which made Li Laitou feel itchy.

Shen Fugui rolled his eyes.

Li Lai Tou withdrew his presumptuous look in dissatisfaction.

However, when he noticed that Shen Fugui didn't have to dig a pond or a well, Li Laitou became so angry that his mouth pouted.

Why are all the strong laborers in the village doing this tiring and hard work, while Shen Quezi can only work under the shade of the tree?

He is so beautiful!

Li Lai Tou whispered to Wu Langzi who was not far away and started to talk.

"Li Laitou, haven't you rested enough? Everyone is busy!"

Not long after Wu Langzi sat down, a burst of loud shouting was heard.

Old man Li was furious when he saw that his disappointing nephew had been lazy for a while and then sat down to rest, and even called Wu Lengzi away.

This is outrageous! Is this how work should be done?

The old man is Li Laitou's cousin.

Because Li Laitou's mother had a difficult labor when giving birth to him and his father died of illness not long after, Li Laitou was raised by his cousin when he was a child.

Although this fool is not very smart, he is a good worker and has extraordinary strength.

Old man Li stared at Li Laitou with anger on his face.

But then he heard Li Laitou say calmly, "Uncle Li, I'm just taking a break. Why can others rest but I can't? I'm still digging, while others are picking up branches while resting."

After Li Lai Tou finished speaking, he nodded in the direction of Shen Fugui.

"I think you were kicked in the head by a donkey, and your eyesight isn't working well. Brother Fugui is injured in his leg, so how could he have the strength?"

Old man Li cursed so hard that spit flew everywhere.

Li Laitou glanced at Shen Fugui's legs and said dissatisfiedly, "Maybe his legs have been healed for a long time. Why is he still being treated specially? I just don't accept it!"

Old Man Li's eyes grew colder as he looked at his disappointing nephew and said coldly, "How about you let the wolf bite you too, until you're unable to stand up? The village head will surely understand you!"

Three years ago, Shen Fugui's leg was bitten by a wolf, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible. Although it has improved a little after years of care, I heard that his bones still hurt in winter.

But the man endured it silently and even studied the craft of bamboo weaving on his own.

Based on these, Old Man Li felt that Shen Fugui was a big shot!
