Sixty hot wives have space

Aunt Guo put fried bacon with potatoes into two porcelain bowls, put half of the bowl of vegetables on the table, first handed Du Ruo a sorghum bun, and then smiled and said, "Eat it."

The children couldn't wait, grabbed a sorghum bun with their left hand, and stuffed vegetables into their mouths with chopsticks in their right hand.

The small mouths are bulging, like little hamsters;
Even at a young age, Liuya is very slick with chopsticks, chewing non-stop with her small mouth.

Li Pandi and Cui Chunxi took a mouthful of vegetables and buns, chewed them twice before swallowing them.

Only Du Ruo ate slowly, not in a hurry.

But Aunt Guo was in a hurry. She was afraid that the children would eat up all the food, so she went to get a large coarse porcelain bowl, gave Du Ruo half a bowl of food, and put it in front of Du Ruo.

"Hurry up and eat, you kid," Aunt Guo looked at Du Ruo and said distressedly, "It will be gone in a while."

Then, he glared at the children and the two daughters-in-law again, "You guys are reincarnated like starving ghosts, eating so fast, you have to choose and finish the meat."

The children lowered their heads in embarrassment, and the hands holding the vegetables stopped, a little timidly, not daring to eat.

Li Pandi blushed when he was told, lowered his head, and put down his chopsticks.

Cui Chunxi laughed a few times, with a flattering smile on his face, "Mom, don't be angry, we are too hungry."

Du Ruo hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "Auntie, I don't have a big appetite and I don't eat much, let everyone eat, there are so many dishes."

Du Ruo actually has a lot of appetite, but she still has a lot of food in her space, so she won't argue with the Wang family.

The two big pots of vegetables were eaten by the Wang family, and they were not even willing to waste the leftover vegetable soup. Instead, they broke off a piece of steamed bun and dipped the steamed bun into the soup to eat.

After eating, the dish bowl was clean, as if it had been washed.

After taking the last sip of wild vegetable porridge, Du Ruo stood up and picked up the bowl to wash.

Cui Chunxi snatched the bowls and chopsticks from Du Ruo's hands, and smiled brightly, "Oh, sister Du Ruo, go to rest quickly, I'll wash it."

Du Ruo hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, this is not good, I should do it myself."

Cui Chunxi pushed Du Ruo out of the main room, "There is nothing wrong, you go and rest."

Du Ruo had no choice but to go back to the cave first.

Cui Chunxi waited for Du Ruo to leave, and immediately put the bowls and chopsticks in Li Pandi's hands, "Sister-in-law, I feel sick to my stomach, I'm going to rest, you can just wash these bowls and chopsticks."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Pandi to agree, he went straight back to his room.

Li Pandi pursed his lips and did not speak, only sighed resignedly, this was not the first time.

When Du Ruo returned to the cave, Mai Ya was lying on the bed with a satisfied face.

Seeing Du Ruo came back, Mai Ya looked up at Du Ruo with sparkling eyes, "It's thanks to you, Sister Du Ruo, that I can eat meat."

"The last time I ate meat was during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, I got two catties of meat and gave half a catty to my grandma's family and half a catty to my grandma's family. Our family kept one catty."

Mai Ya sighed, "We have a large family, and we only have a catty of meat, so my mother chopped it up to make dumplings. There are many vegetables and little meat, so I can only eat meat."

"It's not like today, I ate several slices of meat!"

Du Ruo sat on the edge of the kang and said with a smile, "In the future, there will definitely be a day when you can eat meat every day!"

Wang Maiya exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

"I heard from my mother that the former landlords couldn't eat meat every day!"

"From now on, as long as I can eat meat once a month, I will be satisfied!"

Du Ruo looked at the longing-looking Mai Ya, just smiled, and didn't tell her that many people in later generations are tired of eating meat, and for health and weight loss, they all started eating wild vegetables!
The next day, the cave dwelling was dug, but it was a little damp inside, and it took a few days to dry before people could live in it.

When Du Ruo went to work, she met Zhang Nana and Li Qiuju;

Du Ruo looked at the two of them a few times, "You look much more energetic today."

"That's it," Zhang Nana said happily, "it's all thanks to your bacon!"

"It smells so good!" Zhang Nana smacked her lips, "I still have that smell of bacon in my mouth!"

Du Ruo pretended to be disgusted, "Did you not brush your teeth?"

Zhang Nana was stunned for a moment, and Li Qiuju who was beside her burst out laughing.

Du Ruo took Li Qiuju's arm, "Qiu Ju, let's stay away from this unhygienic person, so as not to smoke us."

Zhang Nana yelled angrily, "I brushed my teeth!"

The three of them were chasing and fighting on the small road up the mountain, making a mess.

The villagers also laughed and watched them fight.

When we got to the field on the mountain, Captain Wang first called everyone together;
"The weeds in the field have been hoeed," Captain Wang wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, "It's too hot and the ground is too dry. Seeing that many seedlings are dying of thirst, let's carry water up the mountain from today. Water the ground!"

Captain Wang pointed to the wooden barrels, shoulder poles, and wooden sticks with thick wrists that were placed aside;
"Men use poles to carry two buckets of water at a time."

"Women use wooden sticks, and two people carry two buckets of water!"

When the members heard that they had to carry water, they immediately sighed, and stepped forward to take things as if resigned to their fate.

There are two wells in Niujiawan, one in the village and one at the foot of the mountain.

This time, they are going to carry water up the mountain from the foot of the mountain!

Cui Chunxi dragged Du Ruo to get a stick and a barrel.

When going down the mountain, Cui Chunxi complained to Du Ruo in a low voice, "I'm tired of carrying water. After going down and up the mountain, my wrists are swollen after a day!"

Wooden barrels are larger than later generations of plastic barrels for bottled water, and wooden barrels are also heavier than plastic barrels. A barrel of water is about [-] catties.

Two people carry two buckets, that's one hundred catties!

The two carried a hundred catties of water up and down the mountain dozens of times a day. Could their wrists not be swollen?
Seeing that Du Ruo was silent, Cui Chunxi leaned close to Du Ruo and reminded in a low voice, "The land belongs to everyone, not our own. Don't be stupid. When we are carrying water for a while, let's walk slowly so that we can save a few buckets of water." .”

Speaking of this, Cui Chunxi acted like someone who has experienced it, "You have to trust my sister-in-law, she will not cheat you."

Du Ruo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing Cui Chunxi staring at him, she still nodded, "Got it!"

Cui Chunxi smiled reassuringly. She was afraid that Du Ruo would be an idiot and would not listen to her. Otherwise, if she wanted to be lazy, there was nothing she could do if Du Ruo didn't cooperate.

When they arrived at the place, the villagers fetched water one by one. The women carried two buckets of water and began to go up the mountain slowly with a look of great difficulty.

The man's speed is not fast, everyone is talking and laughing on the way, not in a hurry.

Cui Chunxi and Du Ruo followed with two buckets of water.

Cui Chunxi likes to be lively, and when he hears interesting topics, he will add a few sentences from time to time.

Du Ruo was strong, so he didn't think it was heavy, but when he got to the top of the mountain, Cui Chunxi was so tired that he couldn't straighten up, and he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Almost the same is true of the other villagers.

Cui Chunxi saw that Du Ruo was carrying such a heavy bucket and walked such a long distance without blushing or panting, so she envied her, "Sister Du Ruo, aren't you tired?"

"I think you are better than me, a rural person who has been doing farm work since childhood?"

In order not to stand out too much, Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm tired too," and sat next to Cui Chunxi on the field.

Cui Chunxi stretched out his hand to show Du Ruo the palm of his hand, and Du Ruo saw a deep dent, which was red and green, which looked a little scary.

Du Ruo also stretched out her palm, and saw that the palm was a little red, which she liked much more than Cui Chun.

Although Du Ruo wasn't very tired, she couldn't bear the thought of running dozens of times a day.

So Du Ruo stood up and went to look for Captain Wang.

"Captain," Du Ruo called to stop Wang Dazhu.

During the working period, Du Ruo felt that it was better to call: Captain, so as not to make a fool of himself.

Wang Dazhu had just picked up two buckets of water, and was sweating profusely. He was squatting on the ground to rest when he heard Du Ruo calling him, so he quickly stood up, "What's wrong, what's the matter?"

Du Ruo nodded, "Captain, the efficiency of carrying water like this is too slow."

Captain Wang sighed, "I know that too, but our Niujiawan has such a condition, unlike some villages, there are waterwheels and ditches in the village, so irrigation is much easier."

When it comes to waterwheels and ditches, Captain Wang's words are also full of envy.

Du Ruo licked his dry lips, "Then let's build a waterwheel too?"

"It's easy to say," Captain Wang looked at Du Ruo speechlessly, "If it could be made, the village would have made it long ago."

"The key is that no one can do it!"

Du Ruo took a deep breath, "I will!"

"What?" Captain Wang looked at Du Ruo in surprise, and asked again in disbelief, "You will?"

Then, his face became serious, "This is not a joke."

Du Ruo nodded, "Don't worry, I don't dare to make fun of this matter. Give me some time, and I will draw the blueprint of the waterwheel for you at noon, and we will build it in the afternoon."

"The whole village works together, and within three days, the waterwheel will definitely be built!"

Seeing Du Ruo's swearing, Captain Wang was both surprised and happy, staring at Du Ruo seriously, "You really know it?"

Du Ruo nodded solemnly, "Really!"

"That's good," Captain Wang gritted his teeth, "Go back and draw the blueprints, and give them to me when you have lunch, and I'll take a look first."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "Your work points will not be deducted, so you can paint with peace of mind."

Du Ruo smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely hand over the blueprint to you at noon!"
