Due to drought, many vegetation in the mountains have turned yellow, and the leaves of some plants that are not drought-tolerant have begun to turn yellow and become brittle. There were a lot of dead branches and leaves on the ground, and Meng Xiaoman picked up a lot of them for firewood.

It is difficult for farmers to be idle. There is no work in the fields now, so many people go to the mountains to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.

The weather is dry and fires are easy to break out in the mountains and forests. The brigade is also happy for everyone to collect these dry firewood to avoid piling them all in the mountains and causing fires.

Since Meng Xiaoman discovered the spring, people in the village have been very friendly to her. When they saw her collecting firewood, many people came to say hello to her, and Meng Xiaoman responded one by one.

It's just that there are always people who like to spoil the fun. In a harmonious atmosphere, Xiao Daqing's mother's cold snort was particularly harsh. "It's just a blind cat that kills a mouse. There's nothing worth showing off."

However, there were also sensible people who challenged her, "Then you should give it a try. If you have the guts, don't drink the water from this spring."

Daqing Niang rolled her eyes at her, pinched her waist and said, "That's the village's water too, why can't I drink it?"

"That was discovered by Meng Xiaoman. You said bad things about others and drank the water they found. You are so shameless."

"Who said anything bad about her? Ah, I'm just telling the truth. Others encountered so many rocks and didn't find the spring. She stumbled and found the spring. Isn't this a blind cat that kills a mouse? What is it? "

"Besides, what's wrong with being thick-skinned? As the saying goes, if you are thick-skinned, you will eat a piece of meat, but if you are thin-skinned, you won't be able to eat it. I think you are too thin-skinned, which is why you are so thin."

The aunt who was talking to Daqing Niang was relatively skinny. When she heard what she said, she immediately stepped forward and said, "No matter how skinny I am, I have never eaten anything I shouldn't have eaten. You are so fat and you have eaten so many things you shouldn't have eaten. That’s why it became like this.”

Many people know that Daqing Niang's hands and feet are not very clean, but because of her aggressive personality and her tendency to mess around, many people are afraid of getting into trouble, so they usually don't tell her in front of her. Moreover, she usually just picks up potatoes and sweet potatoes from the fields, passes by other people's vegetable gardens, and pinches other people's vegetables. Everyone turns a blind eye to such trivial matters.

It's one thing to know, it's another thing to say it.

The thin woman's words stung the hornet's nest of Daqing's mother.

She walked forward, swiped her big hand, and pulled the thin woman on the head, "Ma Guifen, please tell me what I shouldn't have eaten, you big skinny female monkey! I let you You're doing nothing here."

Although Ma Guifen was thin, she was a head taller than Daqing Niang. She tilted her head back, avoided her hand, and turned to grab her hair.

Daqing's mother screamed in pain, her fingers turned into claws and she said hello to Ma Guifen's face. Ma Guifen freed up her other hand to block her, but was scratched several times by Daqing's mother, who pulled her hair harder and harder.

The two of them were scratching each other, pinching each other and twisting each other, and they became a mess within a few moments.

When the women in the village saw this, they quickly went to break up the fight, and Meng Xiaoman also went to break up the fight. After all, Ma Guifen had the conflict with Daqing's mother because she spoke for her.

Meng Xiaoman had learned some moves from Xiao Xiangdong and was very strong. In addition, she deliberately tried to deflect, so when the two of them separated, Daqing's mother was particularly miserable.

Ma Guifen was a little surprised that she could defeat Daqing Niang, but she didn't think about it too much, she just felt comfortable all over.

Daqing Niang looked at Meng Xiaoman and Ma Guifen angrily with her hair piled up into a chicken nest.

Others couldn't see clearly, but she, a client who often fought, knew very well that Meng Xiaoman was trying to start a fight on the surface, but in fact he was only restricting her movements so that another person could hit her.

Ma Guifen was in high spirits after winning the battle, while Daqing's mother needed to vent her anger. The two stared at each other like two fighting cocks at halftime. Although they were temporarily separated, they were ready for the next battle.

"Mom, why are you here?" A familiar voice came. Meng Xiaoman turned around and saw the first enemy in her life - Xiao Daqing.

It was he who framed herself and Xiao Xiangdong, and not long after, she also sent him to prison. I just didn't expect him to come out so soon.

Xiao Daqing is much thinner than before, and his shoulders are a bit hunched, which shows that he is not having a good time in prison. He didn't recognize Meng Xiaoman at first, but when he looked at her, he showed a hint of pure surprise and amazement.

After listening to her mother say a few words, when she looked at her again, her eyes became dark and unclear. Meng Xiaoman couldn't tell what it was, but it felt like being stared at by some kind of reptile.

Xiao Daqing just glanced at her quickly and even raised his head slightly, but Meng Xiaoman felt that he was more dangerous than before, and for some reason, Meng Xiaoman always felt that he hated her. It's just that he hid this hatred very well.

Xiao Daqing did not help his mother deal with Ma Guifen, but politely apologized to her and took his mother away.

Not only Meng Xiaoman, but also other onlookers did not expect that the second-rate boy in their village would become so polite.

"It seems that Xiao Daqing has really changed for the better."

"Yeah, when he said sorry, he even bowed. I was shocked."

"It seems that he has reformed well inside. No wonder he was released from prison early."

"No, he looks much calmer now."

······

Everyone was discussing Xiao Daqing's changes and saying that he had gotten better, but Meng Xiaoman didn't think so. He felt strange to himself, as if he was holding something back.

Since we don't have the ability to predict the future, we can only use troops to cover up the water and the earth. Meng Xiaoman quickly forgot about him because it suddenly started raining.

After more than a month of high temperatures and severe drought, a heavy rain finally eased the drought on the land. It rained heavily all day and all night, and the ditches and rivers were filled with water again.

The weather cleared up after the rain, and the busy planting phase came again. Although it was delayed for more than half a month, it was better than not planting at all. The party secretary and the team leader arranged for people to work day and night to sow the seeds as soon as possible.

The seeds last time all died in the ground due to drought before they sprouted. The seeds now are the only collective grain reserves left in the village, and there must be no mistakes.

Not only the team leaders and team leaders in charge of production were busy, but even women like Meng Xiaoman, who earned eight work points, were treated as strong laborers.

Being busy has its benefits. At least Meng Xiaoman came home these days, ate, washed, and fell asleep.

Therefore, when the thud of the ground came from the yard, she did not notice it.
