The feeling of people from other villages is: the people of Erdaohe Village are really kind and kind.
That is required.
It's one thing to compensate for the two old sows.
When the Erdaohe boys were injured so many times, didn't they need to take medicine and spend money? Do you know that these two pigs may not be enough?
Not to mention that the two villages were fighting each other. They never took the initiative to go to Wangjiagou to cause trouble. It was the Wangjiagou people who burned firewood before they fought back.
I have never had a chance to ask for compensation for my injuries. Today I have the opportunity to get this compensation back. That’s what everyone says when asked.
But if you want to pick up pigs, lambs, chickens and ducks, that's another matter.
Mrs. Xu feels that she is still deeply restricted by the rule of law. The other one is the elder for the children, and the granddaughter is watching. That time when her Tian Xin was dragged by Pepper and rode on the pig, she was stunned. Others couldn't tell, but she could still tell that her granddaughter was uncomfortable.
And she always feels that as an old person, she still needs to look good and have a straight body.
But to be honest, if her granddaughter was not present, Mrs. Xu would really want to follow the good example.
On the one hand, Wangjiagou didn't have good cakes, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
Over the years, Erdaohe and her family have been taken advantage of by Master Wangjiagou?
On the other hand, it is indeed a bit different from modern times.
It just depends on who wins the fight between the two parties here. As long as no one is killed, there is even a clan that directly decides the life and death of the village. The government office simply turns a blind eye. How can it be so formal?
You see, they dared to hold down Wang Laoba and force him to write a confession. After that kid ran away, why did he not dare to say anything after being robbed of two pigs? Wang Laoba knew that everyone in their village was busy rescuing, and today it was determined that Erdaohe would not be able to be conquered. It can be seen that collective force determines some essential things here, rather than reasoning.
If there was a place where the truth could be explained clearly, Liu Yongtian's leg in their village would not have been broken, and the attacker would still be living in the village.
What can I say, so taking some livestock while taking advantage of the situation is really not a big deal.
What's more, if we don't help with the salvage, we will indeed drown.
But again, the children were watching, not just juniors like her Tian Xin.
There are also the family members in the live broadcast room, they are a group of children who have received formal education... Well, after all is said and done, her grandma Xianggua still has a bit of idol baggage, she is a village leader.
Mrs. Xu had to persuade the old sisters: You can't say that the chickens, ducks, pigs and lambs will die anyway, why don't we pick them up. Then you can just rush into each house. It's easier that way. Their food and stored vegetables will be soaked in water anyway. It would be a pity to lose them. Why not let us take them away.
If you think about it this way, it's a bit unreasonable, right?
Moreover, Wangjiagou is not a thing, and is currently suffering from floods. We have one yard at a time. Unlike fish, fish are public. You can fish them from their village, but they are their private property.
It would be better to talk to them openly, we will help you save a lot of property losses, and you will have to pay some benefits, and you will never be someone who takes advantage of the chaos.
After hearing this, the old ladies reluctantly gritted their teeth and agreed: OK, in order to be respected by the younger generation, we can bear with it. I also hope that with our kindness, if our village encounters any difficulties in the future, others will not come to rob us.
So there was this scene seen by people from other villages.
The strong men from other villages who poured in admired them in their hearts. In these years when they were short of food and drink, most people could not bear it.
Wangjiagou is really a public enemy, bullying nearby villages.
In fact, among them, those who admired him until now, but some people think that Erdaohe's behavior is stupid. Just grab the chickens and ducks and stuff them into the baskets. Why are you asking?
But I have to say that they dared to cooperate with Erdao Heduo in the future. At least it won't be like today. When the day comes when you owe fish, you will come to collect the fish immediately despite the wind and rain.
To be honest, I'm not in a hurry to get it, and I can't pick it up in this kind of weather. I was just worried that I would not be given fish, but my things would be taken away in advance, and I felt empty.
Life is not easy for ordinary people. They can only guard the palm-sized sky and this little thing in front of them. If they don't take it home in time, they won't be able to sleep.
It won't happen in the future. All those who come are strong men from each village. They think: It will be exactly the same in the future. Even if it is postponed for two days, I can still believe it.
And with the intrusion of a group of strong men into Wangjiagou Village, not to mention the poor people in this village, especially Wang Lao Ba Mao, even Mrs. Xu felt a little unsure.
Think about it, on this rainy day, wearing hats and raincoats, a group of people suddenly poured in. Who can see who is who?
Wang Laoba and Mrs. Xu both misunderstood and thought that the other party was looking for another helper.
Just when Mrs. Xu was about to beat the gong to gather people, thinking: It looks like there will be a fierce battle between those two pigs and Wang Laoba, someone shouted: "Second Aunt, do you still know me?"
Old Mrs. Xu waited until the other party came closer and wiped the rain off her face before she recognized him. Isn't this the boy from her village? I just forgot what it was called.
There was another boy who took off his bamboo hat and insisted on putting it on Mrs. Xu: "Fourth Aunt."
Emma, from Haojia Village, is a young man from her natal village: "I stopped wearing it after getting wet. It's useless. Why are you here?"
"We're here to get the fish."
Only then did Mrs. Xu realize that she had never seen the group of people who owed fish at the dam.
A man asked: "Sister, what's happening in your village? We need to tell him clearly that it was the fourth uncle in your village who asked us to come. He said that if we come to fish by ourselves, no matter how many kilograms we catch today, it will not count." our."
So they came in person.
But it must be made clear that it was agreed, otherwise they will not have the status of fishermen and will not pay taxes. In weather like this, Erdao River and Wangjiagou have the obligation to build dams, and the responsibilities and benefits are both combined.
They don't have any identities. On weekdays, if they secretly catch three or five fish in the wild, it's fine. But if they want to catch more fish without paying a penny of fishing tax, then if Erdaohe and Wangjiagou want to sue, they can sue them one by one. Unless approved by any village.
Da Hongzi came over to get the basket and happened to hear this sentence. She answered: "Why are you looking for Li Zheng? This one is the one who always calls the shots." Even if they are making trouble, they have to listen to this Li Zheng.
After hearing that this was the case, Mrs. Xu immediately agreed: "Fourth Uncle is right, you can catch it yourself, and you can take away all the extra pounds today. You can join our Erdao River fishing team. I I can also promise you that if the number of pounds I catch is not enough, our village will still make up for what it owed before. I only have one request, you can't fish in such a chaotic manner, you must obey the command."
It's only afternoon now, and the sky is overcast and dark.
If any of these people from other villages fall into the river and drown, can the fish come up to eat the fish and the people go down to eat the mat? Then their village couldn't tell.
At present, the fish accumulated in various channels in Wangjiagou have been basically cleaned up by these women. This is mainly because the men in their village are fishing directly at the embankment breach, and the fish cannot get through at all.
Mrs. Xu called to Wang Yusheng who delivered the fish: "Yusheng, there are several embankment breaches in their village."
"Several, scattered." Wang Yusheng really wanted to complain to Aunt Xu, but after all, Wangjiagou was really different from what he imagined. It turned out to be a mess. They had overestimated it before. Surprisingly, the two breaches have not been blocked yet. They are all busy hiding their own food first, as if they have a fire in their brains. How can they do it without blocking the source?
But when I opened my mouth, it was filled with rainwater. Forget it, I would go home and bury Tai in Wangjiagou.
"Well, you take twenty experienced people and divide them into two groups, find two smaller breaches, and personally take these big brothers to fish, making sure to ensure safety. Come on, ropes, baskets, these empty baskets It’s all theirs, let them tear strips of their own clothes and tie them to the basket to identify how many kilograms they have caught.”
When Mrs. Xu said this, she narrowed her eyes and waved to the men from other villages and shouted: "Our village really has no time to care how many pounds of fish you fish. Don't have any quarrels over ten or eight pounds of fish. There is no need." .”
Guys from other villages: I understand, understand, they are not like that.
Mrs. Xu took advantage of this and told Wang Yusheng: "Please go ahead and exchange the fish transport team and the fishermen."
Mrs. Xu keeps giving her time and must change frequently. Otherwise, take out cold water and soak your knees in it for a long time.
Previously, Liu Laozhu's legs were cramped due to cold when he was replaced. Many people relied on greedy fishing to survive.
Then the men from other villages were lucky enough to realize that Mrs. Xu was really good at what she said.
At the same time, the efficiency of Erdaohe Village was once again an eye-opener for them.
In the torrential rain, at the bank of Wangjiagou River where the embankment burst, the man named Wang Yusheng began to call the names of the men who would take them fishing. Every time he called one, no one hesitated to ask questions and appeared immediately.
One last sentence: "Aunt Xu has an order, change it!"
People from other villages discovered that even the nearby Wangjiagou people were shocked and looked over. That was really an order to change, and they immediately put down the fishing nets with heavy burdens. There were actually some people who were specifically responsible for helping the people who were replaced. Once ashore, I quickly wiped my cold hands and knees with a handkerchief.
If you look closely at those handkerchiefs, you will see that they are all the sleeves of the women in Erdaohe Village.
It was also at this time that a family in Wangjiagou Village suddenly shouted to Liu Laozhu, who was coming up in his rotation: "Liu Lizheng, bring all of you villagers to my house to keep warm."
Although there was water in his house, the kang should still be warm.
As soon as this family shouted, there were several other families in Wangjiagou who also shouted while transporting stones: "Yes, empty out a few empty rooms for them to warm up."
Regardless of whether they took advantage of the opportunity to catch fish or not, it was a fact that they used their bodies to help them block the holes.
The strong men of Erdao River were lined up in a row, which really saved the village from being flooded and gave them time to hang up the grain and vegetables.
Hearing this, it was someone from the village who shouted this, which made Wang Laoba who was hiding in the dark hate it.
Liu Laozhu was very confused. He had been soaking in the river, and even when he was not soaking, he was still directing at the point where the embankment broke. What happened.
Therefore, people from other villages know the situation better than Liu Laozhu.
People from other villages thought: There are no good-hearted people for no reason. It is because of the women behind you. They help many people in Wangjiagou to pick up chickens and pigs. And just as they were walking along, they saw a disobedient child running out and throwing him into a puddle. The women of Erdaohe fished the child out of the water.
And listening to the meaning of the shouting, Wangjiagou just thought of emptying out a few rooms to keep warm? To be honest, in comparison, they all look a bit inhuman.
But it has to be said that ever since Erdaohe had a temporary place to stay in Wangjiagou to warm up... I would like to add a word and let Liu Laozhu sigh one last time: It is incredible how he thinks about this matter.
In short, it is indeed a lot more convenient and extends the fishing time.
Do you know how much this fish was caught in the end?
It was so dark outside that I couldn't see clearly what I was catching, and there was no basket left. I had to use a rice spoon to knock the fish out and put them in a bamboo hat. The entire Erdaohe Village was starving from top to bottom. Then I had to go home.
Before leaving, Liu Laozhu looked at how badly Wang Laozhu was beaten and smiled meaningfully: "What's going on in your village?"
It seems that I can’t make it back in time in Fucheng or the county.
There are nine breach points in the dams, large and small. You can even breach the dams, but as a village leader, you are derelict in your duty if you don’t lead everyone in the village to fight the disaster together.
If the nine breaching points are not dealt with in time, four or five villages will be flooded, which will cost many lives.
If Zhen Ting could slip away once, Zhen Ting would be qualified to deal with Li Zheng's dereliction of duty first, and slap Wang Li Zheng on the butt as a warning to others.
It's a pity that Liu Laozhu knew that Zhenting was not good enough to have such great potential.
It doesn't matter, you can save it all.
Isn't it convenient for him to come to Wangjiagou as if he were passing through uninhabited territory?
So before Liu Laozhu turned around and left, the second thing he said to Wang Laoba was: "We'll come back tomorrow morning."
Hurry up and block them. Once our villagers evacuate, those holes will be more busy for you.
Liu Laozhu's leaving figure looked high-spirited.
Just leaving Wangjiagou, he was paralyzed. A big man had a stomachache, including Guan Ertu and the others. It was up to the young people to bear the hunger, walk barefoot, grind their teeth, or carry fish on their backs, which made him unable to hold on. sitting in the car.
The torch dimly illuminated the tired team returning home.
Who is willing to brave the heavy rain and take risks to catch fish? What is more important, fish or life?
Who doesn't know that being soaked in cold water all the time in this kind of weather is not a big deal but getting sick is a big deal.
Including those boys who worked in brick kilns with soot in their noses, don’t they know that this way of making money is harmful to their health?
But this is the life of the people at the bottom. If they want to make money and have enough to eat, their only capital is their own bodies.
Xu Tianxin could feel the silence of the family members in the live broadcast room. She rubbed her arms that were so sore that she couldn't lift them up. Her two little feet were soaked and she whispered to her family members:
"Everything is getting better. I heard from grandma that after this day, it won't be a problem for the adobe to bring in IOUs. Each family can still share at least a hundred catties of fish."
Xu Tianxin decided to play background music to encourage himself and cheer up his family.
“When faced with a storm, people’s hearts are bound to be shaken and shaken;
Life will always reach a certain point, be patient and patient;
Unity will break the waves and ride the wind, BomBomBomBomBom;
Come out bravely with a wave of your hand, go up, go down, go up, go up! "
What Xu Tianxin didn't know was that many family members in the live broadcast room started singing along with the background music.
…
At the entrance of Erdaohe Village, there was an old man sitting waiting at the entrance of the village holding a torn oil paper umbrella.
When he saw the team coming back, the fourth uncle used a walking stick and called to the left-behind elderly people: "Hurry up, they are all back."
Thirty large pots were filled with boiled corn stubble, along with these pickles from the old people’s homes.
Although they are so poor, they will have to scrape together these corn stubbles later, otherwise the families who provide the food will go hungry, but it is also good to let the children who have returned home have hot meals at this time.
The fourth uncle also asked people to vacate six houses in advance and keep them warm for people from other villages to live in.
We can't let people go back in the middle of the night, in case something happens along the way.
Strong men from other villages: "Why is this so embarrassing?"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Liu Laozhu and signaled that she had lost her energy.
Liu Laozhu quickly drank a few mouthfuls of hot water to warm his aching belly, and then he had the energy to say: "It's nothing. The fish you caught yourself is so frozen that we in the village are already very embarrassed."
Start the meal.
Bowls of sticky golden porridge were passed around, with red beans scattered here and there. At this midnight time, this simple bowl of porridge made everyone eat deliciously.
