They in the 70s

After leaving the small shack, Lu Zhansheng tidied his clothes, and then planned to go back to the field. As soon as he walked around the grain and haystack, he saw Wu Qingqing walking from the village with two bowls in his hand.

Lu Zhansheng looked at it, and found that the bowls were ordered by educated youths, and each bowl was filled with steamed buns. After thinking about it, he probably knew what was going on.

In other words, on the day the school building was built, Wu Changde asked Wu Qingqing to contribute all the food in the family for everyone to share. Since then, Wu Changde’s family has run out of food, and their family basically relied on going Dig wild vegetables in the ground to eat.

Zheng Yan and Song Jian were interested in the little girl, and they didn't want Wu Qingqing to go hungry, so in the past few days, the two of them often saved their wotou and sent it to Wu Qingqing.

However, as far as Lu Zhansheng knew, Wu Qingqing had never accepted it, and would send it back every time.

Walking towards each other on the threshing floor, Lu Zhansheng stopped in his tracks, intending to find out about this girl for his brothers.

"Send it back and forth every day, don't you think it's troublesome?"

Wu Qingqing also stopped, hesitated for a moment, then handed the bowl in her hand to Lu Zhansheng. "Your rations are almost gone, you should keep them for yourself."

"us?"

Lu Zhansheng smiled and said: "Don't make a mistake, this matter has nothing to do with us, and it has nothing to do with other people in the educated youth spot. This is given to you by Zheng Yan and Song Jian. They only represent themselves."

Wu Qingqing said: "But isn't this the ration of your educated youth?"

"Then you are mistaken again."

Lu Zhansheng said: "These things I gave you are saved by the two of them not eating by themselves and starving."

"I do not want."

Wu Qingqing said: "You educated youths have never been hungry before, and you will starve to death."

"If you are hungry, you will be hungry."

Lu Zhansheng said, "Anyway, they want to."

Wu Qingqing: ...

Lu Zhansheng thought for a while, and said directly: "If you want me to say, you don't look stupid, you should know what they mean, it's not that I'm praising my brother, Zheng Yan and Song see these two people, they are handsome, There is nothing to say about character, you can choose whichever you want to be reliable."

After hearing this, Wu Qingqing put the bowl back, bowed her head, and said nothing.

Seeing her like that, Lu Zhansheng felt that he should be shy, and he didn't intend to stay in ink for too long, so he asked directly: "Who do you think is better?"

Wu Qingqing directly lowered her head even lower.

Lu Zhansheng observed the girl's expression, and felt that there was a joke, because if the two of them were not good enough, the girl would not be ashamed like this, and he planned to cheat the girl.

"Oh, I see. I see that you went to deliver water to Zheng Yan during the day. Have you taken a fancy to him?"

After Wu Qingqing heard this, she immediately raised her head, and then hurriedly explained: "No! No! My father asked me to deliver water to all your educated youths, not to anyone in particular."

Oh, looking at this reaction, Lu Zhan thought that it must not be Zheng Yan, he thought for a while: "That is Song Jian, no wonder you ignored Zheng Yan that day, but as soon as Song Jian said it, you rubbed him with medicine."

Wu Qingqing opened her mouth again, but didn't say anything, but frowned helplessly.

Lu Zhansheng looked at the reaction again, and thought to himself, yes, sure, Song Jian didn't run away.

At this moment, Zheng Yan and Song Jian came out of the house talking and saw Lu Zhansheng and Wu Qingqing on the threshing ground, so they ran over immediately.

"What are you doing?"

After Zheng Yan came over, he gave Lu Zhansheng a warning look: what do you want to do, don't harm this girl!

Lu Zhansheng clicked his tongue directly, thinking that Zheng Yan is such a fool, the more he looks at it, the more pitiful he is.

Song Jian saw the bowl in Wu Qingqing's hand, smiled and said to her: "Why did you send it back again? Why is the little girl so stubborn?"

Wu Qingqing hesitated, put the two bowls in Song Jian's hands, and then said: "There is no need to send them away, I don't need them."

"Don't." Song Jian said: "It's specially reserved for you. We are all old men. It doesn't matter if you eat a few bites, but you can't be hungry."

"Just take care of yourself." Wu Qingqing said, "I don't want to owe others."

"Why is it someone else?" Song Jian said: "Didn't the branch secretary say that when we arrived in Shimen Village, we were also from Shimen Village. People in Shimen Village worked together and ate food together. Everyone is a family." Ah, what do you owe me?"

"... "

Wu Qingqing didn't know how to refute this, he didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear, no need.

Zheng Yan thought for a while and said, "Take it as our compensation for you."

After hearing this, Wu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Zheng Yan with some doubts.

Zheng Yan said: "Didn't we slaughter your family's chickens and ducks when we were fooling around before? I heard that when there was no food in the past, the branch secretary raised you with eggs and duck eggs."

After saying this, Zheng Yan smiled a little embarrassedly.

Wu Qingqing immediately lowered her head again, and after a while, she turned and ran away without saying anything.

Lu Zhansheng immediately clicked his tongue again. He was very emotional at that time. With Zheng Yan's mouth, it is strange that Wu Qingqing can take a fancy to him.

"Brother Song."

Lu Zhansheng motioned to Song Jian: "What are you doing stupidly, go see it off, it's dark at night, isn't the little girl afraid on the road alone?"

Song Jianwen was startled for a while, then immediately put all the bowls in Lu Zhansheng's hands into Lu Zhansheng's hands, laughed again and gave Lu Zhansheng a thumbs up, then turned and followed.

Seeing this, Zheng Yan was not happy. Seeing Song Jian catching up, he turned his head and pushed Lu Zhansheng directly: "What do you mean, kid? Are you brothers? We grew up together, you help him Don't help me!"

"You can count a little bit."

Lu Zhansheng said: "Didn't you see that the girls don't talk to you? They don't even talk to you. It's obvious that they are more interesting to Song Jian. This buddy is helping you stop the loss in time and let you quit early and get rid of it earlier. After all, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.”

"It hurts!"

Zheng Yan pushed Lu Zhansheng again angrily: "You don't feel pain in your back just standing up and talking. Dude has grown up so much, it's hard to find someone you like, so it doesn't hurt. Do you understand the feeling of liking someone!"

"Why don't I understand." Lu Zhansheng said, "Not only do I understand, I also have a deep understanding."

"Experience a fart!"

Zheng Yan said: "You boy have talked with so many girlfriends, have you really been attracted to one of them, you are a typical heartless thing, you can understand the fart!"

"Hold?"

Lu Zhansheng said helplessly, "You're almost done, buddy, it's really for your own good."

"Pull it, you!" Zheng Yan said, "You are a fool!"

have to.

When Lu Zhansheng saw this state, he probably was really stimulated, and he didn't compete with Zheng Yan. "Okay, it's still getting angry, won't it be over if I help you next time?"

"I need your help?" Zheng Yan said: "Just what you said, don't be ashamed, you just need to shut up."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was helpless, he was still in a hurry to dig his well, so he planned to end this scene as soon as possible, he thought for a while, and said: "I see that you are very energetic now, if you have no land to use, come dig a well with me ah?"

"Dig your uncle!"

Zheng Yan went straight to him and pushed him again, then turned around angrily, cursing as he walked, "Big fool! Go dig it yourself!"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng shrugged, he was speechless for a long time, and then continued to walk outside the village.

The weather has been good recently, the moonlight is clear, and the sound of insects around is one after another, which is very lively.

Lu Zhansheng came to the edge of the big pit he dug, picked up the tool, went down the rope and started digging.

While digging, use a wooden mallet to tamp the surrounding well walls to prevent collapse accidents if the well walls are not strong.

It went on like this for a whole night.

At dawn, what was dug up was finally no longer just dry loess.

At this time, the depth of the well was about [-] meters below the surface.

The soil began to become more humid, and Lu Zhansheng knew that the water was not far away, so he stopped temporarily.

When Lu Zhansheng climbed up from the bottom of the well, it happened to be sunrise, and many of the industrious villagers had already gone to work. They passed by carrying water, and when they saw Lu Zhansheng crawling out of the pit covered in loess, To his surprise, many people shouted at him one after another:

"Hey! Why are you still digging!"

"Didn't you dig all night?"

"Hey! Why is this kid so stubborn!"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng ignored them, and felt a little tired after climbing up, so he lay down on the ground to rest for a while.

At this time, Wu Changde also came, holding a cigarette pipe and pot, and when he came, he stood by the edge of the pit and looked down, and then hummed: "Don't waste your energy, even if you really dig the ground, you won't be able to dig out water." !"

Lu Zhansheng was not willing to talk to Wu Changde, so he pretended not to hear, and continued to lie down with his eyes closed.

But who knew that Wu Changde wasn't finished yet, he patted his buttocks and sat down next to him, lit his cigarette pipe and pot, as if planning to have a long talk with him.

Lu Zhansheng endured it, but he couldn't hold it back. He opened his eyes, sat up, raised an extremely serious face, and said to Wu Changde: "Secretary, let me tell you something."

Wu Changde made him feel a little baffled by his sudden seriousness. "What's the matter?"

Lu Zhansheng said: "There is an uncle in the front yard of my house. He died of a disease a few years ago. The death was very miserable. Do you know what disease he had?"

Wu Changde was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Lu Zhansheng also said: "Lung cancer, when it was discovered, it was already at an advanced stage. The lungs were rotten. The hospital couldn't cure them. In the end, the coughing continued, the breathing was difficult, and I was suffocated to death!"

Wu Changde was stunned again, and said in a daze, "Why... why did I get this disease."

"How long is it?"

Lu Zhansheng smiled, then looked at the pipe and pot in Wu Changde's hand, and said, "Smokers are just like you!"

After speaking, Lu Zhansheng stood up, patted his buttocks and left.

Wu Changde sat there in a daze for a long time, suddenly realized something, immediately turned his head and stared, pointed at Lu Zhansheng and cursed: "Turtle son!..."

Wu Changde became exasperated, Lu Zhansheng felt better, put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked swayingly, and even whistled.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Zheng Yan and Song saw that they were carrying water out.

Zheng Yan shouted at Lu Zhansheng all the way: "Lu Zhansheng, have you dug out the water?"

Lu Zhansheng said, "Soon."

"Isn't it coming soon?"

Zheng Yan put the bucket on the ground directly: "It's just right, the task of watering the ground today is yours alone."

After Lu Zhansheng heard this, Min Min Zheng Yan walked over and kicked the bucket to the left and right.

"Fuck me!"

Zheng Yan immediately stared: "What about you, this is the water I just fetched."

"It's still a fart." Lu Zhansheng rolled his eyes directly: "Do you have any brains?"

At this time, He Zhi also came over, frowning all the way and asked him: "Do you want to continue digging?"

Lu Zhansheng went over to take over the burden from He Zhi's shoulders, and said to him with a smile, "No more digging."

He Zhi nodded.

The others also thought that Lu Zhansheng was going to give up because he couldn't dig out the water, so Zheng Yan made a "tch" and was about to cut a few words.

Lu Zhansheng added: "to build the well wall today."

everyone:  …

Lu Zhansheng smiled: "This is a glorious and arduous task, it is our mission, and everyone must participate."

Everyone: ? ? ?

10 minute later.

A few young men followed Lu Zhansheng cursingly, carrying the bricks left over from building the house before, and went to the field.

The work of building the well wall must be completed before the water is dug out of the well, and because the well is very deep, the water pressure will be very strong after the water is stored, and the quality of the well wall is very high, so Lu Zhansheng only asked everyone to put bricks A stone or something was picked, and he still did the work of building the wall by himself.

Due to the large amount of work, it took a whole day to complete the building.

During this period, villagers kept coming to watch. They persuaded and discussed, but Lu Zhansheng completely ignored them.

Lu Zhansheng originally planned to finish the wall of the well, and then dig out the water in one go to complete the work, but He Zhi disagreed and asked him to stop working and dig the next day. After all, he hadn't had much rest for two days and one night.

Lu Zhansheng didn't want to argue with He Zhi because of this matter, so he stopped working, went back to have a meal, and then went to sleep obediently.

It's just that he slept until midnight, and then he got up again.

There is no way, with such a personality, if he can't finish the work, he won't be able to settle down.

When the villagers went back to work in the morning, they originally planned to come over habitually to have a look, and then discuss the child's stubbornness and stubbornness, but after they came back, they were all dumbfounded.

When Wu Changde received the news and came in a hurry, Lu Zhansheng had already filled up the big hole he had dug before leaving only the mouth of the well, and moved some stones to build the mouth of the well to a certain safe height. It was stored six or seven meters away from the wellhead.

Wu Changde was very surprised. Almost every generation in Shimen Village had tried it, but none of them had dug a well with water in the field. He really didn't expect that Lu Zhansheng really did it. The well was full of water, and I was so excited that I didn't speak for a long time.

The other villagers couldn't say anything to praise, but people kept giving Lu Zhansheng thumbs up with surprised eyes.

Lu Zhansheng has always been a person who doesn't care much about other people's eyes. He doesn't care much when others annoy him and scold him. Similarly, he doesn't take it seriously when others praise him.

Therefore, when others praised him, he still expressed his attitude and thoughts very straightforwardly, especially to Wu Changde:

"As long as you dare to think and do it, there is no difficulty that humans can't solve. If you can't get water, it's because you are too lazy, too lazy to think, too lazy to persevere!"

Wu Changde: What a wonderful baby, why did he grow a mouth.

Zheng Yan: Agreed! !
