Chapter 90 Ma San hits Ma Youcai with his cane
The wheat bales loaded on the truck are transported back to the yard, and the wheat grains are dried and can be threshed.
Zhou Yong was wearing a straw hat and had a towel on his shoulder to wipe his sweat. He stood up with a sickle in his hand and looked around.
"Captain, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."
When Han Ergou saw Zhou Yong standing up from cutting wheat, he hurriedly showed his courtesy.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes: "I'm not thirsty."
Han Ergou smiled and said, "Captain, you take a rest. I will do the rest of the work for you."
Zhou Yong looked at Han Ergou who was bending over to cut wheat. He pursed his lips, rubbed the sweat from his palms, picked up the sickle and continued to work.
He grasped a handful of wheat straw, extended the sickle to the bottom of the straw, held the sickle handle with his hand, exerted a little force with his arm, and the wheat was cut.
He left the harvested wheat behind him and repeated the process over and over again.
After about two hours of harvesting wheat, the sound of gongs was heard.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, some took a rest, some went to drink water, and some went to the bathroom.
There are only five minutes of rest. When the gong sounds, everyone consciously returns to their respective posts and starts working.
More than 1,500 people harvested 2,000 acres of wheat. If calculated by headcount, one person could not even do the work of one acre.
So before dark, the wheat harvesting work was nearing completion.
Today, strong laborers participating in the labor are given five work points, women are given three work points, and the elderly are given two work points.
Even so, everyone is eager to do any group work.
Who can blame the limited arable land area in Huaixi Village? Every work point earned is a work point earned, which is also the main reason why every household is poor.
After finishing work, Zhou Yong went to the yard to inspect the work and gave instructions to Li Ming, and then he went to the public security brigade.
When Zhou Yong came over, Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi, and Liu Dazhuang were all at Ma San's place. No one knew what the four of them were talking about, but he could hear everyone laughing even though they were at a distance away.
"Are you done with work?"
Zhou Yong nodded, and sat on the stool while holding his waist. Xing Laoqi teased him: "Your waist can't stand it after cutting wheat for half a day? It seems that you can't do it either? How about I give you some tiger penis and deer blood to replenish your body later?"
Cao Biao chuckled: "I think it's okay!!"
What kind of bad friends are these?
Zhou Yong glared at them and said, "What are you talking about? I sprained my waist."
Ma San was concerned about him: "Brother Zhou, are you okay?"
Zhou Yong shook his head, meaning he was fine.
Liu Dazhuang curled his lips and said, "You deserve to have your back sprained. Can't you just stay still? Why do you have to compete with everyone for those work points?"
Zhou Yong didn't want to participate in the labor either. The problem was that all three members of the Li family had gone to the fields, and he was the team leader of the production team. Even if he didn't have to harvest wheat, he had to go to the fields. Instead of staying in the fields, he might as well do some work.
Cao Biao agreed: "That's true. By the way, don't go back tonight, Ma San wants to treat us to dinner."
Have a meal?
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows: "What to eat?"
Ma San smiled and said, "Stew the chicken."
Stewed chicken?
This kid isn’t going up the mountain, is he?
Facts proved that Zhou Yong's guess was right. Yesterday, Ma San sneaked into the mountain with a crutch, set up several traps, and harvested two pheasants today.
When Zhou Yong learned what had happened, he gave Ma San a thumbs up.
The five of them chatted for a while, Cao Biao cooked, Liu Dazhuang lit the fire, Xing Laoqi fetched water, and Zhou Yong strolled back home.
When he came back, Zhang Guifang and Li Caiyun were cooking, Li Baotian had gone to Accountant Sun's house, and Zhou Yong told the mother and daughter that he would not be having dinner at home. Then he went to the garden to pick some pickled vegetables, beans, eggplants, and peppers and went to Ma San's place.
Five people cooked four dishes: chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled vegetables, cold bracken, and eggplant stewed with beans. The staple food was two kinds of rice.
Everyone sat around the table on the kang, and Ma San picked up the wine bowl.
"I respect my brothers."
Thousands of words are contained in the wine. Ma Sanyi tilted his head back and drank half a bowl of white wine.
Cao Biao's hearty laughter rang out: "You are great, brother. We will accompany you."
Everyone drank half a bowl of white wine. Liu Dazhuang put down the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food.
The five people were chatting and laughing happily, when at this moment, an unexpected guest came uninvited.
In an instant, the smiles on the five people's faces froze, and Zhou Yong couldn't help but frowned as he looked at Ma Youcai and his wife.
Cao Biao narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. Liu Dazhuang said sarcastically: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out to be you two?"
Xing Laoqi raised his eyebrows and slammed his chopsticks on the table to express his dissatisfaction with the arrival of Ma Youcai and his wife.
Ma San looked at his parents expressionlessly. Ma Youcai looked at everyone and opened his mouth, but never said the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Luo Yuying's eyes turned red, and she shouted with a trembling voice: "Three."
Ma San raised his lips, and a hint of sarcasm gradually appeared on his face: "What are you doing here? You are not welcome in my home."
After hearing Ma San's heart-wrenching words, Luo Yuying burst into tears immediately, and Ma Youcai sighed beside her.
Cao Biao looked impatient: "Are you here to mourn?"
The atmosphere was originally good, but because of the arrival of the couple, no one was in the mood to eat.
Luo Yuying calmed down a bit. Ma San clenched his hands under the table into fists. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go away. I have nothing to do with you anymore."
"Three, listen to mom."
When Luo Yuying said this, Ma San raised his hand to signal her to stop.
What else is there to say?
Being abandoned was a fact, and they wanted his fiancée to marry his younger brother was also a fact. Ma San could not find any reason to forgive his parents for what they had done.
Seeing this, Ma Youcai sighed and said, "San, Dad knows you hate us, but there is nothing I can do about it, right?"
no way?
Ma San listened to his father's words. He sniffed and suppressed the anger rising in his heart: "I understand the decision you made, so you can leave."
Ma Youcai slowly lowered his head: "San, no matter what, we are a family. Dad and Mom are sorry for you in this life. We will make it up to you in the next life..."
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows after listening to Ma Youcai's words, and thought: Are you here to ask for forgiveness?
When things developed to this point, anyone would have thought that the couple came to ask Ma San for forgiveness, but that was not the case.
After a set of family-friendly combination punches, Ma Youcai shamelessly got back to business.
Now the brigade has no surplus grain to help the Ma family, so the family has no food to live on. The daughter-in-law and son are making trouble, and Ma Youcai can only bite the bullet and ask for help from family to family. However, they are not popular and everyone turns them away.
Under the instigation of their daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, the couple could only ask for a loan from Ma Santou.
In name it was a loan, but in reality they were just asking Ma San for food.
Upon learning their real purpose, Ma San was so angry that he laughed.
Now that he is unable to work, he relies on the surplus food to survive. If Ma Youcai and his wife wanted to care about his life or death, they would not appear here.
Ma San looked at his parents with a smile and said, "Seventh Brother, I want to go to the fields."
No one knew what he was going to do. Xing Laoqi helped him up and Ma San came to the edge of the kang.
He put on one shoe slowly, picked up the crutch standing beside him, and walked towards Ma Youcai and Luo Yuying with a smile.
As everyone watched, Ma San quickly raised his crutch and smashed it on Ma Youcai's head.
Cao Biao's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Ma San?"
Xing Laoqi was shocked by this scene. Liu Dazhuang, who reacted quickly, wanted to get down, but Zhou Yong, with his eyes narrowed, held his legs down without leaving any trace.
The next second——
Screams rang out in the house!
