Chapter 14: Xu Tonglin falls into the water

   is on duty in the polder, most of the time is idle, there is nothing to do.

   So, some people gathered together to smoke and chat; some gathered together to wear shoe soles or knitted sweaters, and chat by the way; others secretly hid in the corner, playing cards to pass the time.

   It may be because of Xu Tongdao's showcasing in the village today, and it spread to Weishang. Soon after Xu Tongdao and Xu Tonglin were sitting there, several women and elderly people gathered and asked curiously.

   is nothing more than asking if he really hit Xu Hengbing?

   or something else.

   are all related to what Xu Tongdao did this morning.

   Xu Tongdao was not very interested, and he answered without a word, but these people who were originally bored didn't care, so they gathered here to chat with Xu Tonglin.

  The most popular thing among the country folks these days is small talk.

   Time just passed by, until someone in the room shouted "It’s time to eat..."

   As soon as they heard the meal, everyone outside the house got up and walked into the house, some of them were jogging.

   Before leaving home in the afternoon, Xu Tongdao had eaten a bowl of rice dumplings in duck soup, so he was not hungry.

   But when Xu Tonglin got up, he called to him, "Go on the trail! Your mother paid the rice, hurry up! The meal will be finished when you are late! Hurry up!"

   People here say glutinous rice, and they usually say glutinous rice.

  Xu Tongdao hesitated slightly, then got up and followed.

   He is afraid that if he doesn't eat now, he will be hungry in the middle of the night.

   He remembers that when he was a teenager, although he was a little thin, he had a lot of appetite and was hungry quickly. After all, it was when he was growing up.

   He knows the lunch box his mother brought.

   entered the kitchen in a pile of lunch boxes and recognized it at a glance.

   But when he opened the lunch box and saw the vegetables in the lunch box, he felt a little uncomfortable.

   The dishes in the lunch box were prepared by my mother in advance.

   was on duty in the polder, and everyone handed in the rice uniformly, and then assigned a woman to borrow the master’s big pot to cook the big pot of rice.

   Everyone needs to bring ready-made dishes from home.

  Xu Tongdao glanced at the vegetables in other people's lunchboxes, and at a glance, they were basically much better than the vegetables in his mother's lunchbox.

   And his mother's lunch box only has a little pickles and a small pile of fried greens.

   These are the dishes that the mother prepared for herself, and now he is cooking the dishes for her son.

   Such dishes, he will not be overwhelmed.

   But thinking about the fact that his mother was on duty every day in the past few days, that’s what he ate every day, and the fever still didn’t go away. He didn’t feel happy.

  'S hatred for that unsuspecting father grew stronger in his heart.

Following everyone, adding half a lunch box of rice, Xu Tonglin was surprised when Xu Tongdao put down the spatula, "Xiaodao, you have to eat this tonight? Is it because your mother’s food you have no appetite? It's okay! Add some rice, let's eat my food together! Really! My mother cooked two carp and steamed bacon for me today! Let's eat together, enough!"

  Xu Tongdao glanced at him, smiled slightly, turned and left the stove, and said casually: "No, no! When I came in the afternoon, I had eaten it, and now I am not very hungry, eat yours!"

Although he said so, when he came to the house and squatted under the eaves to eat, Xu Tonglin, who came with him, enthusiastically took a braised carp and a few slices of bacon from his lunch box and put them in Xu Tongdao’s rice. On the head.

   Xu Tongdao couldn't let go, and he was a little touched.

   He is a young man, he is really nice, at least he is very nice to Xu Tongdao. It would be a pity if he allowed this guy to drown in the river like the original time and space.

   The two squatted under the eaves and ate a few bites, and the sky began to rain heavily.

   During the rainy season this year, it seems to rain heavily every night.

   When it rains, Xu Tongdao and they can only enter the house to eat.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard a man say: "Oh! This ghostly sky, this is to destroy people! The water level in the river is so high, and it is raining so heavily... Captain! We won't be asked to go to the polder to pick up heads again tonight. Right?"

  Another man answered, "I guess I'm going to pick soil again tonight!"

   Other people also rushed to say similar things.

  Xu Tongdao recognized the captain of their production team.

   Although the rural areas have long implemented family contracting of the fields, the production teams in those days have no sense of existence on weekdays, but things like flood control in Shangwei are still organized in the form of production teams.

   At this time, Xu Tongdao heard the captain of their production team shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, I'm afraid I am going to pick and add the ridge. The water level in the river is too high!"

   Adding the head ring is a means of flood prevention during flood control.

   When the water level of the river is too high and it is about to overflow the wading, manpower is needed to carry the soil, and a half-meter wide soil ridge is added to the wading to stop the river that is about to overflow the wading.

   This kind of work is very tiring, because when there is a need to pick up the head, it is often the time of crisis, usually in wind and rain, urging everyone to speed up and carry over from a distance.

  Xu Tongdao prayed in his heart that he would not have to do this work tonight.

  Because he has a 17-year-old body and he hasn't carried much weight on his shoulders. If he is really asked to pick up the head and shoulders tonight, his shoulders may not be able to bear it.

   This has nothing to do with his current strength. People who don't often carry burdens on weekdays can't stand this force on their shoulders.

pity…

His prayer obviously didn't work. A few minutes after they had eaten here, a man in a raincoat came outside. He didn't enter the door. He stood outside the house in the heavy rain and shouted to the house: "The third team Shangxu, Shangxu! All take the burden, hurry up and go to pick up the first ridge!"

   In the room, Xu Tongdao, the captain of their third production team, agreed, and the man outside the room strode away.

   It seems that I went elsewhere to notify other production teams.

   "Have you heard it? What are you still squeezing with? Hurry up and take the burden and follow me to the 圩圂圂圂! It will be bad luck to go late!"

   The captain urged everyone loudly. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

  Xu Tongdao saw everyone taking their raincoats and poles, and heard everyone's whispering complaints.

   Including Xu Tonglin's complaint next to him, "Take a fuck! I'm here to hang out for a while, and I've caught up with the pick and the first ridge, mother attacked!"

   Xu Tonglin’s complaint is actually Xu Tongdao’s voice at this time.

   But what can be done?

   The instructions above were passed down, but he didn't dare not go. It was really typical of being caught by the above, but it was unfortunate.

   I had no choice but to ask the captain, where are his raincoat and burden? With guidance, Xu Tongdao put on a raincoat, took on a pole and a pocket, and followed everyone up to the dyke.

   As soon as he entered the 圩圩圩圩, he was taken aback.

  The river surface is hundreds of meters wide, and the water level is no more than one meter from the top of the wading.

   The turbid river water is still tumbling downstream in the river. With such a high water level, he has grown up and lived for two lives. I really haven't seen him before.

   He has heard of heavy rains like tonight. If the water level in the river rises by more than one meter next night, it is possible.

   Is this going to be broken?

   Although he knew the original time and space, their township was not broken, but at this time, seeing the water level in the river so high, Xu Tongdao couldn't help but worry.

   At this moment, Xu Tonglin, who was not far away from him, seemed to be suddenly frightened. With a terrified exclaim, Xu Tongdao was taken aback and turned around and looked around.

But seeing Xu Tonglin rushing forward like crazy, amidst everyone's exclamation and stopping, Xu Tongdao hadn't reacted yet, Xu Tonglin had already rushed out of the 圂圂園, with a puff, and got into the tumbling river headlessly. At that time, Xu Tongdao was shocked to the point that his whole body stood upright, and his whole body was stunned.
