Shui Shangqing waved his hands and said loudly: "This is what I should do. You are welcome aspiring young people who are willing to come here to help us with construction.
Your Educated Youth Institute is at the foot of the mountain. The accountant and warehouse manager are waiting for you there, and will pay you the settlement allowance after deducting the dormitory building and food rations.
If there are no problems, follow the comrades of the Water Construction Party to report to the Educated Youth Institute. You will have a day off today and officially start work tomorrow. "
Shui Bingyue looked at the three men and five women in front of her, and was very worried about her father. They all have thin arms and legs. Can they do the work in the fields?
Her thoughtful look attracted the attention of a girl with a student head. She was wearing a modified military uniform. She must have someone in her family who was in the army.
The girl stepped forward and greeted her enthusiastically: "Mr. Shui, this is the little sister that the founding comrades call her. She is really cute. Can I hug her? I also have a younger brother at home who is about the same size. I am good at hugging her." Child."
Shui Shangqing looked at his daughter and saw her nodding before handing her to the female educated youth.
Shui Bingyue's floral skirt was much more delicate than the other villagers watching the fun. At first glance, you can tell he is truly loved. It can be used as a link to get close to the village chief's family.
"Hello, my name is Cao Yuxi, what is your name?"
"My name is Shui Bingyue. My mother said that I am a smart, beautiful girl. I think my sister is the prettiest one."
"Really? Then we are equally beautiful."
The first long-haired girl to greet Shui Shangqing was named Bai Lu. When she passed by two beautiful women, one big and one small, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. This Cao Yuxi is better at flattering than she is.
The others went to the Educated Youth Center to rest under the arrangement of the Shuijing Party. Cao Yuxi and Shui Bingyue agreed to go home for dinner before following the large army.
Shui Shangqing returned home with his daughter in his arms and asked her, "Do you like that Cao Yuxi very much?"
"She feels very comfortable and must be a good person. I want to play with her."
"Did you let her be held because she was pretty?"
Shui Bingyue shook her head: "No, it's because she is clean. In the past, the eldest sister in the village always smelled like sweat and wanted to hug me. I was not happy."
Liu Xuemei saw the father and daughter standing in the yard chatting on a hot day, and joked: "Aren't you afraid of the heat? Is there something you can't let me hear?"
"No, mom is going to make some delicious food for us. A beautiful sister is coming to visit us today."
"How about a bowl of fried fish, a bowl of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a bowl of pickled cucumbers, and a whole fried chicken?"
"Of course it's good. My brothers are all at home today. They have worked hard, so they should eat delicious food."
Shui Shangqing handed his daughter to his wife and went to work in the fields again.
Shui Bingyue stood on the bench and fanned her mother while she was making lunch.
After work, the seven brothers all consciously went to the simple bathroom in the backyard to wash off the sweat on their bodies, otherwise the little girl who loves cleanliness would not let them hold her at all.
The first one to come to the kitchen was the eldest brother Shui Jianguo. After resting in the factory, he went home to work and was not idle at all.
She hugged Shui Bingyue from behind and praised, "Bingyue is so sensible and knows how to help mom. Do you want me to buy you a nice little skirt?"
"No, brother's clothes should have been changed a long time ago. Stop buying me clothes all the time. I will grow taller soon, and too many clothes will be a waste."
Shui Jianguo scratched his sister's nose: "We are in the city, the simpler the better. My brother won't grow any taller, just have enough clothes."
"Little sister, third brother, give me a hug."
"Let me hug you first. You were the one who hugged me first yesterday." Xiao Wu and Lao San came together.
"You all, stop arguing. I have been working in the city. Today, my little sister belongs to me and has nothing to do with you."
Liu Xuemei looked at the door: "Why haven't your father and second son come back yet? Is there something wrong?"
Xiaoqi came over and told her mother: "There are two female educated youths who don't want to live with others, but only one of them can get this opportunity. So I asked someone to call my father over to solve the problem."
In fact, each of the five houses in the Educated Youth Yard can accommodate five people, but now there are eight people, three boys and five girls. The two must live together, and the extra one lives in a single room.
The noisy female educated youth is Bai Lu, and there is also a tall and strong Wang Caixia.
"I want to live in a room by myself. I am a light sleeper and will wake up if someone moves me." Bai Lu told Shui Shangqing.
Wang Caixia said: "I snore when I sleep. If you are in the same room with me, you won't be able to sleep."
The male educated youth refused to give in when they saw the female educated youth. A gentle boy wearing glasses asked aloud: "Chief Shui, can I apply to live in a villager's house? In this way, the problem will be solved."
"What's your name? Where do you want to stay?"
"My name is Li Yucheng, from Shandong. I think the village chief's house has quite a lot of houses. Can I live in your house?"
"That's fine, but our home is far from where we work. Can you accept that?"
"no problem."
"Okay, then take your luggage and rations and come with us. Are the others okay?"
"No more." The remaining seven people had no objection.
Cao Yuxi had packed up her things a long time ago, so she took a box of canned meat and a pack of biscuits to visit the village chief's house.
When Shui Bingyue heard the knock on the door, she asked Brother Seven to open the door, and four people came in at once.
Because there were so many people, a large round table was placed in the yard, and the vegetables placed on it depended on the basin. This was the first time for Cao Yuxi to see such a battle.
However, it is normal for the village chief's family to have a large population.
She wanted to give the gift to Liu Xuemei, but was rejected: "This is a rare thing and we can't accept it. It's just a common meal at our house, so there is no need to give it to her."
"Those biscuits are just ordinary biscuits. You have to accept this, otherwise I will be embarrassed to eat here."
Seeing Shui Shangqing nod, Liu Xuemei accepted the cookies. Everyone sits at the table and eats together.
"Eat freely, don't be polite, we have enough vegetables here. We have potatoes and cucumbers in our own yard."
Li Yucheng saw Shui Bingyue sitting in the arms of the village chief, using chopsticks to eat the vegetables that the adults put in a small bowl for her, her little mouth bulging like a greedy squirrel.
"Sister Bingyue knows how to use chopsticks at such a young age. She is really smart."
"That's right, my sister will be able to bark at six months, walk at eight months, and run around the yard when she is less than one year old." Xiaoqi explained the little girl's growth history clearly.
"There are so many brothers, it's really lively during dinner. You must be Xiao Qi."
"Yes. What do you call big brother?"
"My name is Li Yucheng. I am eighteen years old this year."
"Then you are only younger than the eldest brother, and none of our other brothers are older than you."
