Having said that, Cui Dashan stopped talking abruptly.
He raised his head and glanced at An Hongdou with an evasive look, feeling vaguely uneasy.
He is such a bad mouth.
How could I forget that this girl is already dark, are you afraid that she will get darker?
Isn't it true that he is exposing other people's shortcomings by saying this?
If this girl got angry and punched him on the head, I don’t know if he would still be alive.
You know, that fist has killed a wild boar.
At this time, An Hongdou also thought that Cui Dashan had bad intentions.
An Hongdou had been lazy for 18 years. When her second uncle heard that she agreed to go to the fields, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
But Cui Dashan kept telling her how hard it was to work in the summer, clearly trying to discourage her from working.
What does he want to do?
What An Hongdou couldn't understand was that if she didn't go to the fields to work and continued to be lazy, what good would it do to Cui Dashan?
"Uncle Cui, if you have anything to say, just say it." An Hongdou wanted to see what the purpose of this cripple was.
Unexpectedly, Cui Dashan sighed in annoyance and said directly: "Girl, just say it directly. Uncle Cui is attracted by your strength. He thought that if you go to the fields to do farm work, you might as well come to the cowshed. Although the smell here is a bit bad, there is a lot of free time. Let's be a companion. As long as you finish what you should do every day, you can arrange the rest of the time as you like. How about it?"
Originally, Cui Dashan was the only one looking after the cowshed. Since the children in the village were responsible for collecting grass for the pigs, he would feed the pigs and cows every day and clean up their manure.
But this year, the village added two more cows and six or seven more pigs, and he could no longer handle it alone.
The team leader agreed to find him a companion, but those with healthy hands and feet disliked the smell here and were unwilling to come. As he was old, he disliked the fact that those people could not do much work and were unwilling to hire them, so the matter was delayed.
Until he saw An Hongdou just now, he had been thinking that this girl had such great strength that working would be no problem for her. Besides, this girl was used to being lazy, and she would definitely not be able to stand being watched working in the fields all day long.
An Hongdou twitched her lips. She never expected that Cui Dashan had such a purpose in mind after speaking so long.
But it's not a big deal.
What made An Hongdou most satisfied was that he said he could arrange his time as he pleased.
She also knew the time when her family members started and finished work every day. Except for some free time in winter, she spent most of the rest of the time working in the fields, leaving home early and returning late. She was exhausted and it was not conducive for her to do other things.
Thinking about it this way, raising cattle and pigs in the village is quite suitable for her. The most important thing is freedom!
An Hongdou's eyes lit up, but she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she said in embarrassment: "Uncle Cui, I have to go home and discuss this with my family. How about this, if you are not in a hurry, I will give you an answer tomorrow?"
"That's fine." Cui Dashan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if you really decide to come here, come early tomorrow morning. The work here is simple. Just shovel pig manure and cow manure in the morning. It's busy farming season recently, and the cows have all moved to the fields to work, so we don't need to feed them. You just need to take care of the pigsty, and then turn over and dry the pig grass to record the work points for the children. I'll watch over you here at night so that you can go home when it's time."
There is a house next to the cowshed. Cui Dashan's wife died early, so he lives here alone. He has children and grandchildren, but they all live in the village.
He spoke so carefully just to lure An Hongdou over.
But what he said was not wrong. Apart from the tiring job of cleaning up feces, everything else was very easy, just too trivial.
This kind of work is the kind that two people can do easily, but one person is too busy to handle it.
Having said that, An Hongdou left.
Walking to a nearby place, An Hongdou took out the backpack she had placed in the grass, and looking at the chirping little pheasants inside, she smiled.
When I got home, no one in the family was back yet, but the children were still there.
She really doesn't have any good feelings towards her sisters-in-law now, but An Hongdou still likes her nephews and nieces very much.
Using the basket as a cover, An Hongdou took out a roasted chicken and handed it to An Changzheng. "Take this to the kitchen and chop it up, then share it with your brothers and sisters."
An Changzheng took the roasted chicken wrapped in oil paper, took a look at it, and said, "Aunt, grandma and the others haven't come back yet. Let's wait for them to come back and eat together."
An Hongdou glanced at him calmly and said, "It's for you guys to eat, so it's for you to eat. As for your grandma's portion, I will naturally save it for her."
"Oh." An Hongdou's look made An Changzheng feel flustered. He picked up the roast chicken and ran into the kitchen.
An Hongdou was helpless. He was a boy, but he was so timid. What would happen to him when he grew up?
And she discovered a very sad fact.
An Hongdou and several of the An family's brothers were all illiterate and had never attended school for a single day.
Including the younger generations in the family, none of them have ever entered the school.
Even in the entire Qingshan Village, there are only a handful of literate people, but her second uncle is obviously literate, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the team leader.
The ultimate reason is that there is no school in the village.
It is really inconvenient for children to go to school. They have to travel a long way over mountains and hills to go to school. In addition, parents of this era do not pay attention to education, which leads to most children not being able to go to school.
An Hongdou traveled through time and was forced to become illiterate, feeling extremely melancholy.
The chirping sounds of the chicks attracted the children, so she simply let them take it aside and play with it by themselves.
Seeing An Changzheng chop the roast chicken into pieces and bring it out, the children in the family quickly stopped paying attention to the chicken and rushed over to eat.
The pheasant was not very big, and each person could not get two pieces, so the plate was empty.
An Hongdou took out a roasted chicken and a bowl of chicken soup from the space, put them in a bamboo basket, carried them in her hands and walked out of the house.
The people in the educated youth center had not returned yet, so she walked straight in.
The strange thing is that Shen Xiangzhi was not there either, and no one knew where he could go with his limping leg.
The room was originally for four people, and there was no place for anyone to sit in the room, so An Hongdou sat directly on Shen Xiangzhi's bed.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Xiangzhi came back from outside with a cane.
At a glance, he saw An Hongdou sitting on his bed.
"You're here?" Shen Xiangzhi thought that judging from the attitude of the An family, An Hongdou would come to see him often.
In the past two days, he had also asked a lot about An Hongdou's past in the village, and knew that she had caused a lot of jokes while chasing after Zhao Youliang.
He always knew that he was good-looking and popular with girls.
An Hongdou must be very happy to have the opportunity to be with him.
