There was a fire burning in Shen Laosi's chest, and his face was so ugly that the people who wanted to find him to partner up immediately stayed away from him one by one.

At the same time, the eight teams of people who were going to work on the project had gathered together and walked together carrying baskets of soil, pushing carts, and carrying shovels to the bank of the Yellow River ten or twenty miles away to the north.

On the way to school, Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin looked at these people going to work on the project in groups and felt very fresh.

"Is the dam protection project they want to carry out the same long slope we passed when we came back?" Shen Yuxiu curiously asked Shen Yulin beside him.

Shen Yulin heard her words unexpectedly and was so frightened that he covered her mouth with his palm. He carefully looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "Don't ever say that we have been there.

, you can’t tell anyone.”

When they got lost, he only dared to say that he didn't know where they had gone. He asked for directions the next day, and he didn't even dare to mention that he had been to the Yellow River.

You know, if he hadn't stopped due to exhaustion that night, he would have walked directly into the Yellow River not long after walking forward.

If an adult knew this, it wouldn't be as simple as spanking him with the sole of his shoe. It would probably beat him to death.

Shen Yuxiu didn't understand why he couldn't speak, so she took off his hand covering her mouth and asked, "Why can't you speak?"

"I'm going to get beaten because I said so." Shen Yulin threatened her without any guilt.

When Shen Yuxiu heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly shut up. But after a while, she still couldn't hold it back. She looked at no one around and leaned into Shen Yulin's ear like a thief, and asked in a low voice: "Then, are they going?

Over there?”

"It should be so." Shen Yulin couldn't explain clearly. After all, he had never actually seen the place where the adults worked on the project.

Fang Youshun loaded some cotton locust slivers onto the pedal tricycle, then took a shovel and prepared to dig a hole by the inlet to soak in water. The cotton locust slivers were soaked for ten days and a half and processed before they could be used to weave various baskets or baskets.

Basket. But as soon as he went out, he saw two children standing on the street chattering, and he started shouting.

"What are you two doing there? Why don't you go to school?"

The brother and sister who were talking quietly were shocked by this shout. They turned around and saw their grandfather riding a three-wheeler looking at them. They quickly ran away.

Fang Youshun saw the two children running away like ghosts after being yelled at by him. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

These two naughty kids were probably discussing how to cause trouble again, otherwise they wouldn't be so frightened.

Thinking about the troubles these two children had caused since he arrived, Fang Youshun couldn't help but laugh. He kicked up the tricycle and headed towards the water bay.

He likes mischievous children. Generally, mischievous children will not be bullied and will make people feel at ease no matter where they go in the future. Unlike an honest child like Shen Yuwen, who can't make a fool of himself with three sticks, he will make people worry no matter where he goes.

Will I be bullied and suffer a loss?

Now that there is no life left in the fields, the villagers can finally take a break. Some families who are good at crafts will prepare something to supplement their families like him. However, not everyone has this craft, but it is not like going to work now.

Time is so short, you can still see some people chatting on the village road.

Occasionally meeting these people on the road, Fang Youshun would smile and say hello to them, completely unaware that after he left, these people would whisper about the tricycle he was riding, and they were all envious.

In fact, when I first joined the commune, some members in the team wanted to confiscate this tricycle. After all, having more tricycles in the team would save a lot of trouble, but everyone knew that this was given to me by the army when the old man retired.

It is private property, not a farm tool necessary for production or farming. They have no reason to confiscate this tricycle, but this does not prevent some people from making harsh remarks.

As soon as Fang Youshun arrived at the water bay, he saw the Shen brothers who were busy. Those people greeted him warmly and saw that he was about to pull out the cotton locust slivers that had been soaked in the water a few days ago. Shen

The third child came over immediately to help.

"Uncle, are you going to get these cotton locust slivers up and then soak the ones on the car into the water?" Shen Laosan pointed to the cotton locust slivers in the water and then pointed to the ones on the car.

"Yes, it's almost soaked in the water and it's ready for use." Fang Youshun said with a smile and went to pull the cotton locust slivers in the water.

"Uncle, wait, I'll drag it up for you. The water is very cold now, don't freeze you." After Shen Laosan said that, he went directly into the water and started to drag up the cotton locust slivers that had eaten enough water, and then put the car on the car.

Remove the cotton locust slivers and soak them in water.

"Thank you so much, nephew. Look, this is delaying your work." Fang Youshun didn't expect that he would just do what he said, so he could only express his thanks quickly.

"What's the matter? They're all from our own family." Shen Laosan smiled cheerfully and loaded the cotton locust slivers dragged ashore onto the tricycle with Fang Youshun, and then went back to work: "Uncle, I'll go and get started first.

."

"Hey." Fang Youshun looked at him with a smile as he walked toward the Shen brothers who were busy, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "When your clay bricks are dry, if you want to use a tricycle, go to my uncle's house to ride it."

Shen Laosan was stunned when he heard what he said. When he realized what he meant, he almost jumped up with joy and quickly agreed: "Hey, thank you, uncle, you have helped us a lot."

"Hey, we're all family members." Fang Youshun smiled and waved to him, then pedaled his tricycle home again.

Since he arrived here, he has basically never interacted with the Shen brothers because they are not a small team, but he still knows a little about the relationship between these brothers and his son-in-law. These brothers now seem to be of good character, and their daughter-in-law seems to be

He gets along well with his daughter, and if she can help, he will naturally be willing to help.

When Fang Youshun walked away, Shen Laosan couldn't help but smile on his face. The Shen brothers and sisters-in-law were equally happy, and each of them worked more energetically.

They really didn't expect that the third child would get such an unexpected surprise just by helping out.

You know, even if the adobe bricks are dried, they are not light. It is tiring for them to carry them on their shoulders and hands, and they cannot get back much at one time. This is different with a tricycle. It not only saves effort, but also saves them.

The moving time couldn't be better.

When Fang Youshun returned home, he started busy weaving baskets. He had not made anything for many years. He had to weave something first to make cocoons out of his hands before he could weave sorghum straws into mats. Otherwise, he had to peel off the tough layer of sorghum stalks.

When using leather, it can easily cut your hands.

While Fang Youshun was tinkering with knitting, Fang Yan brought the children over to do needlework because Shen Jinggui was not at home.

Firstly, she can keep company with her parents by doing needlework here. Secondly, it’s because the firewood allocated to the team is not enough for anything. The weather is not too cold now, so we can stay here together during the day.

By only burning one kang, she could save some firewood and burn it for a few more days.

This year, the team didn't have much cotton, so Grandma Fang wanted to make a new flower jacket for Shen Yuxiu first, and then use the remaining cotton to refill Fang Youshun's old cotton jacket. Fang Yan also had the same plan, The allocated cotton will be used to make coats for Shen Jinggui and Shen Yulin first, and the remaining cotton will be used for other children.

After all, their women basically do needlework at home in winter, and their children who have nothing to do do not need to go out. But their men have to do work, and Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin also have to go to school. Which of these people does not wear warm clothes? That won’t work either.

The little Shen Yujun was still hugged on the kang. Now the two oldest children go to school every day, and Shen Yuwen is no longer able to stay at home. When the two adults are doing needlework, the responsibility of taking care of the children basically falls on Shen Yuzhen.

While Shen Yuzhen watched her younger brother playing, her eyes occasionally glanced at the new flower coat that Grandma Fang was sewing.
