Compared to laying bricks, applying cement is much simpler. Ling Xiao mixed the cement, and Meng Qidi jumped down with a bucket of water to work.
Cement is expensive, so she didn't dare make it too thick, just enough to prevent it from leaking.
Pasting cement is a delicate job and it took me two days to get it done.
She actually made a separate place for washing clothes...
It would take several days for the cement to dry, so Meng Qidi did not drain the water from the canal.
After a few days of idleness, the team has something to do again, and this time the task is to dig a river.
The reservoir is almost built, and the river channel needs to be dug. There has been a lot of rain this summer, and floods may occur at any time.
Meng Qidi gave all the kudzu powder that had been dried for a few days to Ling Jinyue. She sold 50 kilograms for about 100 yuan, and the family got more than 50 yuan.
Ling Jinyue refused to share it equally, and Meng Qidi said that it was okay for her not to take it, but she just had to stop playing tricks on her in the future. Ling Jinyue had no choice but to take it obediently.
Of course, Ling Jinyue's mother was delighted and wished her daughter would follow her every day. Anyone who doesn't make money is a fool.
"Comrade Meng, are you digging sand or carrying sand?"
Zhao Youwei walked over to Meng Qidi with the notebook.
Meng Qidi glanced at Ling Jinyue who was clinging to the side and said, "Lift it, Jinyue will dig it."
If possible, she would rather come alone...
Ling Jinyue nodded quickly, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
Meng Qidi...
Zhao Youwei was slightly stunned, "When did Comrade Meng become your sister-in-law?"
"She is my brother Xiao's wife. Brother Xiao and I live in the same room, so isn't she my sister-in-law?"
"Don't you like your brother Xiao?"
Zhao Youwei admitted that he did it somewhat on purpose, and even had a hint of luck in his heart. It would be great if Meng Qidi could have a bad impression of Ling Xiao.
Ling Jinyue shrugged and pretended to embrace Meng Qidi, "No, I like my sister-in-law more. Brother Xiao is not as interesting as my sister-in-law."
Meng Qidi avoided her, feeling somewhat disgusted. No, no, no, she was not worthy...
The two of them did not pause because of his conversation, so Zhao Youwei stopped talking. He registered the two people's jobs and started to record others'.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with what he said just now?" Ling Jinyue lowered her voice.
"Why think so much? I'm working now. I'll try to finish early and go to the back mountain in a few days. I haven't eaten meat for several days."
Meng Qidi didn't take Zhao Youwei's words to heart and bent down to dig the sand.
They were assigned a small sand dune and they would try to finish it today.
Ling Jinyue's eyes lit up, "I want to go too!"
At the school gate on this side of the brigade.
After class, Ge Mei walked out quickly. She wanted to go to Lingjia Village while it was still light.
Brother Youwei has been very busy these days and has lost a lot of weight, so she wants to send him some meat.
"Sister Ge Mei."
A deep voice sounded at the school gate. Ge Mei paused, looked over, and then froze. Then he strode over, "Yuzhen? Why are you here?"
"Come out here, I have something to ask you!"
As soon as Ge Mei arrived at the school gate, Meng Yuzhen pulled her out and she was almost pulled down.
Ge Mei frowned, and was pulled by Meng Yuzhen, with some displeasure in her eyes, "What do you want to do?"
"You ask me what I want to do? I want to ask you something! Why did you find someone to throw water on my dowry? Am I not good to you?"
Meng Yuzhen's eyes were red, and her eyes were full of questioning anger.
Ge Mei's face changed slightly and she reached out to pull the hand on her arm.
"Yuzhen, I didn't. Did you misunderstand? How could I possibly pour water on your dowry?"
"Misunderstanding? Let me ask you, Meng Erliu saw it with his own eyes!"
Meng Yuzhen pinched her arm tightly, "It has been spread all over the village that you hired someone to splash it! Why? I was so good to you..."
"It really wasn't me, Meng Yuzhen! Are you crazy? Let me go!" Ge Mei was hurt by the grab and tried hard to pull her hand away.
It seemed that Meng Yuzhen had some mental breakdown at the Nie family. She became morbidly crazy and could not listen to Ge Mei's words at all, and yelled at her.
"Ge Mei, how could you do this to me? I want to share everything I have with you. I even believed what you said about Xiao Qi. You said it would be better for me to change my marriage, but in the end I married a fool. Ge Mei, why are you so mean!"
The two were wrestling at the door, and no one knew who tripped. Ge Mei exerted force, and Meng Yuzhen was pushed back and hit the iron gate behind her.
"Bang!" The sound was particularly loud.
Looking at Meng Yuzhen's pale face, Ge Mei was stunned for a moment, took a few steps back, and quickly ran into the school.
Meng Yuzhen was a little dazed by the collision, and it took her a long time to recover. After struggling to stand up, she yelled at the passers-by, "What are you looking at!"
She touched the back of her head, glared resentfully at Ge Mei who ran into the school, and left unwillingly. It was all her fault that she was in such a miserable state now!
Meng Qidi didn't know that Meng Yuzhen had run away from home to find Ge Mei.
It took nearly ten days for the crowd to clean the river at the entrance of the village. The entire river became wider and deeper.
After a day of rest at home, Meng Qidi took the time to connect the water pipe of the water truck to the dried-up canal.
The water in the canal suddenly increased, and the cool and clear water rushed down. After a few minutes, the water level in the canal gradually rose and stopped at the place where the laundry was...
"Wow, ma'am, it's so easy to wash clothes here!"
Ling Jinyue excitedly squatted down by the water and took a sip of the cold stream water.
Who would have thought that Meng Qidi was so courageous that she actually did one when she said she would do laundry...
Although Wang Jinhua couldn't see it, she was very happy. "Slow down, don't fall in. Watch Xiao Chengzi. This girl always likes to play in the water."
Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Cheng who was eager to try, "If she doesn't obey and plays in the water, send her to school."
"You bad uncle! I don't like you! I like my aunt!" The little girl hugged Meng Qidi angrily.
Meng Qidi raised her hand and touched her head. "Yes, my uncle is the worst. However, you can play in the water, but you can't go to the water alone. You have to be accompanied by an adult."
"Why?"
The little girl looked up in confusion.
Ling Xiao said, "Think about it, if you accidentally fall down and we are not here, only grandma is at home, and her eyesight is not good, how can she save you?"
"The water is not deep, I can get up by myself!" the little girl said innocently.
"What if your head is down there? There's water down there. Remember the time you choked on water?"
Ling Xiao ruthlessly exposed it.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, as if she remembered that terrible memory. Suddenly, she cried and hugged Meng Qidi's legs.
"Bad uncle!"
This time, no one from Meng Qidi or the others tried to comfort her, and just let her cry.
To be honest, let alone the water, she really can't go anywhere outside the canal without an adult accompanying her.
After a long time, the little girl was tired of crying, sobbing and dozing off.
Meng Qidi bent down and picked him up, then looked at Ling Xiao, "There are bamboo stakes here, let's cut some bamboo to make a fence this afternoon?"
You can't just stare at her every day, can you?
Ling Xiao nodded. This was the only way...
