Reborn Sanitary

On the evening of the [-]th, Xu Tao and Xu Yan ate a meal of dumplings stuffed with leeks and pork, which means that the New Year has passed. After months of exhaustion, the siblings did not even keep up with the New Year's Eve. After eating the dumplings, they washed up and went to sleep. Day after day , while waiting anxiously, in the early morning of the sixth day of the sixth day, Tang Chaofu, the captain of Xu Tao's second Zhenglan team, rushed to the two families and notified Zhang Daming and Xu Yan respectively. I went to the backyard to burn firewood in the shed. Since the vegetables were sold out, the shed has not been burning firewood endlessly like before. I just burned it once in the morning and evening. I am afraid that people will come and go into the cold greenhouse to be disappointed.

Before ten o'clock, the captain Wang Rongfa and the accountant Zhang Yuzhu followed Tang Chaofu around the two greenhouses, and asked carefully, and finally decided to come to build the greenhouses during the slack season, and the two extra greenhouses were built every year 300 yuan was rented to the team leader and the accountant, but it was agreed that the two companies would not be responsible for planting. The first was that there was no time, and the second was because they saw the actual situation of Xu Tao’s family. Wang Rongfa and Zhang Yuzhu left Zhenglan’s second team with smiles on their faces. As for how the following three people discussed, Xu Tao and the others could not know.

Finally solved the trouble, Xu Tao felt a lot more relaxed. Looking at Xu Yan and Yu Guihua who were all smiling, Xu Tao let out a breath slowly from the bottom of his heart, and slowly calculated, three years, three years is not much, as long as I save money for my sister A tractor can make my sister get married in a beautiful way. I remember that my sister brought four quilts when she got married, because this sister was often ridiculed by her sister-in-law. Xu Tao clenched his fist slightly, and no matter what, let Xu Yan stay at her husband's house Hold your chest up.

Xu Tao thought of Wang Rongfa who he saw from the side just now, and felt a touch of gratitude in his heart. Wang Rongfa was a person who was both upright and a little cunning, with his own bottom line but a little cunning. Xu Tao clearly remembered when he left, Wang Rongfa once secretly gave himself 50 yuan, which is not much money, but it is not a small amount for Xu Tao who only has 100 yuan all over his body. The reason why he encouraged Fat Aunt and the others to find the captain this time was that Because Xu Tao knows what kind of person Wang Rongfa is. Although he protects his shortcomings, he is comprehensive enough not to let people find faults. As long as he promises to protect you, he will definitely protect you to the end.

Thinking of this, Xu Tao glanced at Xu Yan secretly. If he guessed correctly, the shed that his family built in September will definitely be Wang Rong's fortune. Although he doesn't know who will work at that time, If Xu Yan can get acquainted with her husband's family first, it will be good for Xu Yan in the future.

Xu Tao never had the idea of ​​changing Xu Yan's husband. His brother-in-law Wang Guizhu treated Xu Yan better than Xu Tao. It is important for Yan to find someone who really loves her. Xu Tao has never been in a relationship, nor has he ever had a girlfriend, but Xu Tao has heard from Xu Yan more than once that marrying Wang Guizhu in this life is the best way she has chosen.

Flaws do not hide merits. Although Wang Guizhu has some disabilities, how can he be so good?A man who can beat Xu Yan to pieces with a hoe just because others say that Xu Yan is a hen that doesn't lay eggs, a man who can stand upright and block all accusations and even say that he has something wrong because Xu Yan has no children for three years, It was the only choice for his sister-in-law that Xu Tao recognized.

Time goes by, the cold winter passed in a blink of an eye, and spring came. The melting ice and snow along the eaves not only brought inconvenience to people's travel, but also meant that for farmers, the two hardest seasons of the year The hard work of spring planting is about to begin.

March 1991, 3, the vernal equinox.

After school, Xu Tao packed his schoolbag and walked to Zhang Liang, "Zhang Liang, help me carry the schoolbag first, I will ask the teacher for leave."

Zhang Liang looked up at Xu Tao, a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you? Why are you taking leave?"

Xu Tao smiled, handed the schoolbag to Zhang Liang, walked out of the classroom to the teacher's office, knocked on the door and pushed open the teacher's office. Seeing Zhang Yuhai standing at the table bragging with his colleagues, Xu Tao shouted, "Teacher Zhang .”

Zhang Yuhai turned his head to look at the door, and frowned slightly when he saw the black and thin Xu Tao standing by the door, "What's the matter?"

Xu Tao walked into the office, "Mr. Zhang, I want to ask for leave?"

Zhang Yuhai frowned deeply, and looked Xu Tao up and down, "Are you sick?" Xu Tao shook his head, "Mr. Zhang, my family is going to farm, and my sister alone can't do it by myself. I want to ask for leave to go home and help plant the seeds. Grab the seeds, otherwise it will delay the solar terms."

Zhang Yuhai's face darkened, "Your family only farms, and others don't? If everyone farms like you, what do you learn if you ask for leave?"

Xu Tao looked at Zhang Yuhai with a calm face, "Mr. Zhang, you know about my family's situation. My parents are not at home, so I have to plant the land. We are farmers, and we count on this land all year round."

Xu Tao's words made Zhang Yuhai choke, looking at the black and thin boy in front of him, talking about the situation at home without a trace of expression, in fact, everyone in the school knew that Xu Tao's parents ran away with someone, but he didn't expect the boy to say it out by himself.

"Okay, old Zhang, hurry up and give me leave. The work in the field cannot be done by one person." The teacher in the other class next to him helped persuade a few words, Zhang Yuhai looked at Xu Tao who was silent, frowned and waved his hands , "Go back, go back, give me leave, when will I come back after planting the land, I will tell you Xu Tao, if you delay your study, the pointer will not speak." The last threat Xu Tao didn't take it seriously, just nodded, "Thank you teacher." After speaking, he turned and left the office.

After leaving the office and closing the door gently, Xu Tao heard Zhang Yuhai's words, "This child without parents can't do it, and he can't even say a word of gratitude. The current students are really hard to discipline. Hey, Lao Hu, you say Xu Tao Who the fuck did you run away with, no..."

Xu Tao looked at the closed office door and smiled, then turned and left.

After returning home for dinner, Xu Tao told Xu Yan about asking for leave. Xu Yan stared at Xu Tao, who was in charge of her own affairs. She was so angry that she couldn't even speak. Smiled, "Sister, don't be angry, is it all right after listening?"

Xu Yan pointed at Xu Tao and yelled, "Please tell me clearly why you don't go to school. I have already said that there is me in the family. You just need to go to school. I am talking fart."

Xu Tao took Xu Yan's finger off, "Sister, I know we have you in our family, but I feel sorry for you. Although there are horses, the corn stalks in the field must be dug out to cultivate the land. There are more than [-] acres of land. By yourself, when will you dig? If you are delaying the solar terms, it will be too late. Even if you have finished digging, you still have to dig holes and scatter seeds. This is not something that one person can do. If you really delay farming, we This year's harvest at home is really outrageous. Originally, because we made money, everyone in the village stared at us. If the harvest in the field was delayed because we didn't do it, these people in the village don't know what to say. "

"Why don't you care what they say? Live your own life, live your own life, what's the point of listening to others?" Xu Yan continued to yell.

"Sister, I don't care what other people say, but I can't let others say that you have so much money that you can't even plant land. That won't work. Sister, don't be angry. I'll take care of you. Don't be angry either. Let's go to the field tomorrow morning, hurry up, so I can go to school quickly." Xu Tao's slow voice made Xu Yan's anger suffocate in her chest, looking at Xu Tao who had already made up her mind, Xu Yan let out a sigh of relief Stand up and walk around the room in circles.

Xu Tao sat quietly on the kang without saying anything. Xu Tao knew that the more he talked about this, the angrier Xu Yan would become. I should wait for Xu Yan to figure it out. After a little relief, Xu Tao showed a smile in his heart, Xu Yan is like this, his temper comes and goes quickly.

Xu Yan calmed down and stared at Xu Tao, "One week, at most one week, you hurry up and go to school, and you can't delay your study." Xu Tao thought for a while, calculated that it should be about the same, and nodded slowly, "Okay, one I go to school next week."

Xu Yan gave Xu Tao a hard look, turned around and walked out of the house, went to the next room and took out the tools for going to the ground tomorrow. When Xu Yan took the tools into the house, Xu Tao took them and checked them carefully. Wrong aside.

Before dawn the next day, Xu Yan got up to boil water for cooking. After breakfast, the siblings drove the carriage to their home field. In addition to lunch at noon, there was also a kettle of boiling water in the car. When they got to the ground, Xu Tao took the The carriage rushed to the side and tied it up, took a shovel and began to dig the corn stalks buried deep in the ground, one after another, I don’t know how long it took, when Xu Tao stood up, he felt pain like a needle prick in his waist. Both legs were trembling.

Xu Tao wiped the sweat all over his head and neck, took a while, walked to the side of the carriage, drank a large bowl of cold water, poured out another bowl and gave it to Xu Yan, seeing Xu Yan's sweaty face, Xu Tao Passed the towel on Xu Yan's shoulders, "Sister, take a break and take a breath."

Xu Yan took the water and drank it in a big gulp, raised her arm and wiped the corners of her mouth, then wiped the sweat off her neck and head with a towel, "No, do it quickly, let's sprinkle the seeds before Qingming, or else it will hurt." Delaying the growth of corn, Tao, take your time and don’t get tired, if you get tired all of a sudden after you haven’t been to the ground, you will be in trouble in the future.”

Xu Tao took the bowl in Xu Yan's hand and nodded with a smile, turned around and walked to the carriage, put away his things, Xu Tao continued to walk along the ditch to the place he had dug halfway without resting, and continued to squat down to dig the stalks.

Working from dawn to dusk, and with the help of Zhang Liang and Zhang Hai, he managed to dig out all the stalks in the field within a week. On the night after finishing the work, Xu Tao lay on the kang, feeling as if his whole body ached like it wasn't his own. Yes, Xu Tao didn't know, because of the pain, Xu Tao would hum unconsciously when he was sleeping at night, which was heard by Xu Yan who accidentally got up at night, and his heart ached enough, but Xu Tao's stubbornness also made Xu Yan have no choice, She could only work hard by herself. For fear of wasting time going to the toilet, Xu Yan didn't even dare to drink water. She was afraid that drinking water and going to the toilet would waste time. Xu Yan thought that if she worked more, Xu Tao could work less, but Xu Yan didn't know , Xu Tao thought the same as hers, a kettle of water, the siblings would leave a lot every night when they go home, for the same reason, but no one said anything, just silently used their own way to hurt With the dearest person.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally scatter all the corn seeds on the ground before Qingming, and Xu Tao also went back to school after digging the hole to continue studying. Although Zhang Yuhai didn't have a good face for Xu Tao, Xu Tao didn't let Zhang Yuhai The pointer is falling on him, the homework is completed on time, the exam is not good enough, and he neither raises his hand nor takes the initiative to answer the questions in class. In Xu Tao's heart, he hopes that the teacher will forget him as a talent. Slowly, maybe it is Xu Tao's silence The countermeasures worked. After one semester, Zhang Yuhai gradually forgot about Xu Tao who was sitting in the corner. Xu Tao heaved a sigh of relief and smiled to himself. As long as he keeps graduating like this, he will be fine.

As early as the beginning of spring, Xu Tao had already agreed with Xu Yan that he would do nothing this summer and avoid people, as long as he planted his own twenty-odd acres of land, so that the people in the village would not have to stare at them. Over time, as soon as something new came out, the matter between the two of them gradually subsided. Yu Guihua and Zhang Daming also meant the same thing. The outsiders asked how much money they earned.

Yu Guihua is filial to the elderly, but she won't spoil her eldest sister. It's just a simple sentence. All the money she earned was paid back to the famine when the old man went to see a doctor. The eldest sister left without saying a word, with a slightly embarrassed face. Thinking of what happened at that time, I can’t wait to slap her twice. I really don’t have money. You are a married girl and no one is chasing you, but you can’t say you don’t have money here, and buy a TV for yourself. It’s not obvious Do you look down on people?

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and this year I don’t know why, the school will be on holiday at the end of June, which makes Zhang Liang and Xu Tao very happy. The yellow mud is piled high, so that in winter when the greenhouse starts to be planted, people will always look in through the tree branches.

Xu Tao, who followed Zhang Liang and Xiao Ga back home, saw that there was no one in the house, put down his schoolbag and washed his face, and turned to the backyard, where he saw Xu Yan wearing a big straw hat cleaning up the vegetable field next to the greenhouse. Yan didn't go out to sell vegetables, but she still had some land for herself. When the front yard started in spring, Zhang Hai helped to transplant two big autumn fruit trees. Although the two big plum trees had no hope of fruiting this year, Xu Tao was very happy and originally opposed it. Seeing Xu Tao's rare happiness, Xu Yan didn't stop him.

"Sister." Xu Tao yelled as he walked towards Xu Yan. Xu Yan, who was bent over the beans, looked up and saw Xu Tao smiled, "Xiao Tao, you're back."

Xu Tao nodded, "Sister, we're on vacation, are you done? Go back to your room and I'll discuss something with you."

Xu Yan tied the rope in her hand and stood up, "It's over, let's go, go back, it's too hot outside." Xu Yan walked while talking.

Xu Tao waited for Xu Yan to return to the house after washing her hands, and handed Xu Yan the poured cold white tea. Xu Yan took a sip and put down the big tea mug in her hand, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Xu Tao smiled slightly, "Sister, I want to clean up the fence in our yard." Xu Yan frowned slightly at Xu Tao's words, "What do you want to do?"

"Put up wooden stakes, put mud in the middle, and build them at high points, so as to save us from planting greenhouses, someone will always look into the yard through the fence, and there are black lights and ignorant lights, trying to scare people."

Xu Yan had long wanted to replace the trees surrounding the yard, but there were only two people in the family, so they couldn't do it at all. Xu Yan thought for a while, "It's okay, but then I'll have to trouble Uncle Daming again."

Xu Tao waved his hand, "No, I'll just ask Brother Dahai and Er Gouzi to help me cut down the tree stumps. I'll make the mud myself. It's not a technical job. Sister, you should discuss it with Auntie Fat. Let’s take a look, when people come to plant greenhouses in winter, they want to live in our house, where do you let them live? Either you are building a western house and I will move there, or you will clean up the lower house to build a kang.”

Xu Tao's words made Xu Yan a little surprised, "What's wrong, you use our land to plant greenhouses, and you still live in our house?" Xu Tao looked at Xu Yan who was surprised and rubbed his forehead, "Sister, you don't think that people run back and forth Well, let’s prepare a place for them, it’s best not to live there, in case they want to live? Where do you let them live?”

Xu Yan really didn't think about it. She thought that even if she came to plant a greenhouse, she would find a place by herself. Now that Xu Tao reminded her, Xu Yan thought about it. If you don't prepare for it yourself, isn't it obvious that you don't welcome people?

Xu Yan thought for a while, looked at Xu Tao, hesitated, "Tao, what do you mean?"

"Sister, I want to add a Westinghouse. I am so old. We still live in the same room. Although there is a wall, it is not convenient. If you add a Westinghouse, three or four hundred yuan is enough. You When the time comes, tidy up this house, you live in the back room, and you have a place to stay when there are guests in the outer room, what do you think?"

Xu Yan was a little distressed, three or four hundred yuan, how long would it take to earn it back, but Xu Yan also knew that what Xu Tao said was true, Xiao Tao was getting older every year, and he was sixteen, what about taking a bath and changing clothes? It’s inconvenient, Xu Yan looked up at Xu Tao, gritted her teeth, “Okay, let’s add a cover, anyway, isn’t it just to make money for us to live more comfortably, let’s go, let’s discuss with fat aunt, her family last year Cleaning up the house, I heard from my fat aunt a few days ago that she wanted to approve the house, if it works, it will be next door to our house, let's go and ask how much her family spent on cleaning up the house last year."

After Xu Yan finished getting off the kang, she pulled Xu Tao down. Xu Tao also wanted to ask Zhang Hai and Zhang Liang for help, so the siblings packed up and left the house.

On July 7th, the auspicious day of the zodiac, which was discussed and looked for by Daxian, Xu Tao’s house began to build the West House. In fact, according to the normal house assumption, Xu Tao’s house should have two houses, the East and the West, but for some reason, only the East House was built. , just had the opportunity this time, Xu Yan sister and brother asked Aunt Fat after discussing, and finally started to build a house today.

After discussing with Zhang Hai last time, Xu Tao started to drive the carriage to the woods to cut wood the next day, one trip after another, day after day, and the three of them worked for ten days to prepare the wood for the yard and the house. It was complete, and Xu Tao did not rest. From the next day, he cleared all the trees, piled wood piles and mud, and made adobe. It took Xu Tao a month and a half to dry all the yard walls of more than one mu of land. The West House was finally built neatly two days before Xu Tao finished tidying up the yard. Even the earthen wall separating the East House siblings was demolished, and the kang was rebuilt and the wall was rebuilt, separating the two.

Xu Tao looked at the brand-new home, and his thin eyes were all smiling. Xu Tao was overjoyed, but Xu Yan looked at the 430 seven yuan spent, and babbled in distress.

One day, Xu Tao and Xu Yan were plastering the wall in the house, when there was a shout outside the gate, Xu Yan touched Xu Tao with his hands full of paste, "Xiao Tao, go and see who is coming, why are you still standing outside the gate and shouting. "

Xu Tao looked out through the open window, and the door blocked by Baomi could not see anyone at all. Xu Tao suddenly remembered that his house had changed the walls and the door, so he jumped off the kang and ran out, but thought that the door was open, who is this person? Why don't you come in, not from the village?

Before Xu Tao ran to the gate, he saw the man standing at the gate. Xu Tao stopped in his footsteps and looked at the man in a daze.
