"Mom, the brigade has started calling for work again. This time, Xiaohai and I will go together."
"Okay, Xiaohai, your leg isn't fully healed yet, so take it easy when you work."
After a simple breakfast, the brother and sister, one carrying a shovel and the other carrying a pickaxe, went out.
On the street, groups of three or five people gathered together, talking and laughing, and began to walk up the hillside.
Today the brigade organized villagers to plant poplar trees.
Prevent sand from falling and strengthen forests, conserve water resources.
When we arrived at the work site, a three-wheeled vehicle had already pulled over a small poplar tree as thick as a thumb, and several strong men were unloading the vehicle.
The remaining villagers were divided into groups and assigned to various locations.
To plant a tree, you have to dig a hole first. The standard hole is a round hole 50 cm wide and 50 cm deep.
"Sister, I'll use the pickaxe to carve out the shape first, and then you can use the shovel to dig deeper."
"good."
The brother and sister discussed the division of labor and started working in perfect harmony.
Ruan Xiaohai picked up the pickaxe and began to scrape away the crusted soil.
Then Ruan Xiaotang held the handle tightly with both hands and began to dig hard along the planed circle.
"I'll do the digging, and you go and plant the sapling in the hole."
Zhou Xingze ran over, and after trying his best, he finally caught up with him.
I don't want to see her, a girl, suffer this.
Although most women of this era are like this, his girl is an exception, and he feels sorry for her.
"Why are you up? You drank so much yesterday. Don't you have a headache?"
Ruan Xiaotang looked up at him unexpectedly and asked with concern.
Zhou Xingze waved his hand, "It doesn't hurt. Go to the shade over there. I'll call you when I'm done."
"Hmm~"
The domineering tone is hard to refuse.
Ruan Xiaotang stopped being shy and obediently went to the shade to rest and watched them work.
He was like a wealthy landlord who was doing nothing, watching his farmhand to prevent him from doing anything unfaithful.
Wang Qiang's family, who lived not far away, were so angry that their teeth were itching.
Especially Wang Qiang, who was engaged to Ruan Xiaotang.
His eyes were so stimulated that they were filled with murderous intent.
Ever since the Wang family and the Ruan family broke off the engagement, nothing has gone well for him.
First he went on blind dates, but every one he met turned out to be a failure. Then his mother broke her ankle while picking up an empty egg from their chicken coop.
After his mother fell ill, there was no one at home to cook and wash clothes. The four grown men in his family were exhausted after a day's work, and they still had to light the fire, cook and wash clothes when they got home.
Not only was what he did awkward, but it was also embarrassing.
This kind of work is not something a master should do.
The more I do it, the angrier I get.
The more I do it, the more frustrated I feel.
In the end, he shamelessly blamed all the misfortunes on Ruan Xiaotang.
This woman with a beastly heart was dissatisfied with being broken off from engagement and was full of resentment. She cursed her entire family with a vicious mind.
If he wasn't living well, she couldn't expect to marry into the city and enjoy a good life.
Bah, she deserves it!
He would never let her have her way.
She also wanted to be as unlucky as him, so that he would feel balanced.
Wang Qiang put down the pickaxe in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He raised a provocative look at the corner of his mouth and leaned over.
With his arms folded, he spoke to Zhou Xingze in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, you are the current girlfriend of my Wang Qiang's ex!"
Zhou Xingze raised the corner of his eyebrow and glanced with disdain at the arrogant clown passing by.
He had heard a little about Xiaotang's previous boyfriend.
Very bad impression.
Surprisingly bad.
He had wanted to meet him for a long time.
He didn't go looking for him.
He even delivered it to the door first.
So today, let’s settle all the new and old grudges thoroughly.
Zhou Xingze put down the pickaxe and rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.
The other man was tall and strong, and he suddenly waved his hand, which scared Wang Qiang so much that his heart shuddered.
The difference in size equals a disparity in strength.
Wang Qiang couldn't help but sweat profusely on his forehead.
"It's me, you have an opinion?"
Zhou Xingze raised the corner of his lips sarcastically and questioned slowly.
"Brother-in-law, he even beat me."
Ruan Xiaohai recalled the humiliation of that day and glared at Wang Qiang opposite him with hatred and gritted his teeth.
Wang Qiang deliberately made a joke, "Your sister and I have broken off the engagement, why are you still calling me brother-in-law? This is not nice."
Ruan Xiaohai, "Bah, you are not worthy of me calling you brother-in-law!"
He was about to rush forward past Zhou Xingze.
Ruan Xiaotang grabbed him and took him aside.
It’s not a child’s place to interfere in adult matters.
As another party involved, Ruan Xiaotang has the most say.
He spoke slowly, "Why? You come back to me again. Are you going to kneel or kowtow this time?"
Seeing that she was not afraid of his provocation at all, Wang Qiang couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Little bitch, it's different when you have a man backing you up.
The reason why she spoke so confidently was probably that the two of them had been hooking up together before they broke off the engagement.
He was still puzzled when he broke off the engagement.
How come Ruan Xiaotang agreed to cancel the engagement so easily without crying or making a fuss?
It turned out that she had already found a new employer behind his back.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Alright Ruan Xiaotang, stop giving your mouth a New Year's gift. You were the one who knelt at my feet and begged me not to do it. I kicked you."
Wang Qiang deliberately confused right and wrong and shouted at the villagers around him at the top of his voice.
There was something else in his words, as if he was the biggest victim.
Xiao Hai was the first to lose his temper and rushed over again, shouting, "You are talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong."
