When we were almost at the point under the bridge, we saw a group of them gathered together from a distance, not knowing what they were doing.

Tie Zhu pedaled his bicycle a few times and gained a lot of speed. Only when he got close to them did he hear clearly that they were quarreling. It looked like a fight was about to break out.

I jumped off the bicycle first. Tie Zhu just put the bicycle on the ground casually. We also surrounded it.

Tie Zhu shouted at the top of his lungs: "What are you going to do!"

The crowd suddenly became quiet.

A strong man wearing torn gloves said: "Old man, you are here just in time. Please comment."

Another worker, who was slightly thinner, turned his head to one side and ignored Tie Zhu and me.

Tie Zhu: "Fat man, what's going on?"

Tie Zhu called this man wearing torn gloves "fat man". I felt funny in my heart. The others were not fat either. They were just a little stronger.

Fatty: "That's right. You see, we have a lower dam here. Your upper dam is a little easier to repair. The field dam is almost as high as the river embankment. It only needs to be built with stones against the river embankment. But

Our section is different. You see, there is a river on one side and fields on the other. The fields must be protected from being washed away by the floods in the river, but they must also be protected from being washed away by the water coming down from the mountains. I said it is built on both sides at the same time.

Build them, fill them with stones and soil in the middle, and then erect some wooden stakes to strengthen them. This crazy Chiang Kai-shek scolded me for giving blind instructions. But he couldn't listen. He insisted on building a base full of bricks and mortar."

The person who turned his head to the side was probably Madman Jiang in Fatty's mouth. When he heard Fatty scolding him, he rushed up and said, "Fat Wang, please keep your mouth clean for me. Do you still have a conscience, you bastard?"

Is the stone used from your home, or is the cement from your home? Or is the sand your home’s rice?”

Fatty Wang: "You are not from my family. If you were from my family, I would have kicked you out long ago."

Madman Jiang: "Bah. I said it too, but it's a pity that it's not from your family. If it were from your family, I would be invited in eight sedans, but I wouldn't even come."

Tie Zhu: "You two are still old cousins, are you done with it? Is it interesting to argue?"

Both of them buried their heads and said nothing. Others hurriedly said: "Everyone came to work happily today. They were talking and laughing when they started working in the morning. The one who knew his two cousins ​​was just joking.

(I went too far and fell out), and then you didn’t like me, and I didn’t like you either. We almost got into a fight, but luckily everyone stopped us.

Tie Zhu: "We are all fellow villagers. How about the Xigui people who are not related to each other but are related to each other? Do you mean to quarrel and quarrel over trivial matters? Isn't it rare that you want to imitate the 'two brothers' from Xiatang?"

I have heard the allusion to the "two brothers" from Xiatang since I was a child. They were the two brothers from Xiatang. It was March one year. In rural areas, every household had to put out rice seedlings and clear the fields.

After plowing and tidying up, the big seedlings in the mother field are transplanted to the big field.

The fields of these two brothers are only separated by a ridge. Logically speaking, brothers, if your family releases it, mine will release it, sooner or later, what does it matter? But no. These two brothers are special.

"Bang", if you are not convinced by me, I will not be convinced by you.

So we rushed to release a field of water. My brother’s field was in front of the ditch, and my younger brother’s field was behind the ditch. The brother got up in the middle of the night to divert the water, and finally managed to divert the water. The younger brother was good, he could use just two hoes.

I carried mud to block the water diversion port of my brother's house and diverted the water to my own field. Of course this brother was not happy. Why on earth can you just use two hoes to get the water that I worked so hard to bring?

It was led to my own field. I raised my hand and used a two-nail rake to lift up the mud and directly cut off the ditch.

Not to be outdone, the younger brother jumped up and stood on the gap in his brother's field to block the water. He also provoked: "If you have the guts, kill me. If not, you will be the son of all people."

This older brother was already full of anger. In the past, the story of his younger brother acting like a monster and bullying his family came to mind like a movie. Smallpox broke out in the grain, and a large piece of his family was cut down overnight. Apples were about to mature.

All of them were shaken from the trees overnight. Chickens, ducks, dogs, etc., they were poisoned to death... One by one, one by one. Although they were not caught on the spot, they were not wronged by others.

Wuqiu, who has nothing to do after eating to do these harmful things? The more I think about it, the more angry I feel, and the more I think about it, the more useless I feel. I can't bear it anymore, and I can't give in. When I have an evil thought, I raise my hand to rake it. Four nails rake iron teeth.

Just like that, he dug into his younger brother's head. Suddenly, the younger brother screamed and fell in the field of his elder brother's house with a rake stuck in his head. The older brother was also stunned. He didn't expect that his younger brother didn't dodge, and he didn't expect that he just wanted to do it.

This little rice field water killed my younger brother with my own hands.

This younger brother probably never dreamed that he would die in such a way.

The result can be imagined. The elder brother also received the punishment he deserved. Two more widows and a group of orphans were added to the world.

Seeing that the two old cousins ​​were "calm", Tiezhu didn't judge their problems. Instead, he pushed me out.

"Let me introduce this brother to you. His name is Mu Yi. He is Boss Hu's nephew. He manages on behalf of the boss. If you have anything to say, tell him. If he can solve it, he will solve it for you. If he can't solve it, he will solve it for you.

I will also tell Boss Hu for everyone."

Me: "Hello, masters. I am Mu Yi. This is my first time doing this. I have no experience and I don't know much. Please help me. Please forgive me if I am wrong in anything."

"

I paused. Seeing that everyone was listening to me, I continued. "To be honest, I saw this as soon as I came today. I was surprised. Everyone goes out to work to make money. We can work together.

They are not relatives, they are all friends. To put it bluntly, they are all working together to seek wealth. Being friendly makes money. If there is anything we should discuss, we should do it. Whichever way is better, just listen to that one."

I originally wanted to say: Fatty and Madman Jiang, please tell us your thoughts. But I felt that I was not familiar with them, so I changed my words to: "You two old cousins, which one should talk first."

Fatty: "Little brother, since you are here on behalf of Boss Hu. As for the situation, I just said it. I am a person who tries my best to do everything well, whether it is working or helping. I also know that Madman Jiang is right.

, it would definitely be better to build it all with stone cement mortar. But we are not here to repair the cement piers."

At this point everyone couldn't help laughing.

The fat man continued: "Don't laugh, everyone. We are here to repair the river embankment. I see that except for the river dam, it has not been washed away in recent years? The river embankment there has not been washed away? But the river barrage

Does anyone know how the dam was built?"

People in the crowd shook their heads.

"The dam is just a reinforced concrete pier. That costs a lot of money? When I say this, I don't mean that I will please Boss Hu and save materials for him. To be honest, I am the same as everyone else. When the project is completed,

You get 500, but I can't get 501 points. I won't get a penny more than yours. However, these money and these materials are wasted. What a pity? Save it, get some of that one.

Wouldn't it be better to go back and mend the mouse holes in Ha's house, harden the path in front of Ha's door, and build a small flower stand?"

I heard that this fat man is also a smart person. He also has his own ideas.

I looked at Crazy Chiang. He shook his head.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, I asked Tiezhu who was in charge of this group. The fat man raised his hand, indicating that he was in charge.

I said, "Just do what you want."

Fatty: "Thank you."

I smiled at him, and Tie Zhu and I were ready to go back.
Chapter completed!
