Candide in Chronology is on strike

"What are you talking about? You are my sister-in-law. How can I be dissatisfied with you?" Liu Mei said with a smile on her face.

"Don't be angry about these things. It doesn't matter if your second brother and I have dinner later. You boil the water first. You can't delay your business."

It seems that he is trying to compromise, but in fact he is retreating to advance, forcing Qin Xi to be on the opposite side of the two. He secretly applies Qin Xi's eye drops in front of Qin He, saying that Qin Xi is not considerate of his brother, but unfortunately, Qin He Silly, I didn't understand what she meant at all.

Qin Xi looked into Liu Mei's eyes. There was no sign of guilt or embarrassment in them, and she didn't even dodge. The thought of living with such a scheming woman in the next few years made her feel sick all over her body. Diaphragm response.

"Forget it, it's okay. If you want to use this stove, you can use it!"

Qin Xi turned his head, turned around and left.

She needs to think carefully about how to separate herself from those two people. The kitchen is shared, but it is inconvenient. She doesn't want to have frequent contact with Liu Mei in the next few years. Maybe she should give herself To build a simple thatched house, which is also a kitchen, there is still a lot of open space in this place.

Although it is a bit unsafe, it is the same to store important supplies in the room. It would be nice if there is a stove in the kitchen and some firewood can be piled up.

In addition, the small door from the kitchen to her room should be completely sealed.

These days, she should take her brother to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo. When the rain comes and the land becomes soft, she can use bamboo to build a bamboo fence between the kitchen and her room to separate the two sides.

This is considered a retreat!

In another sense, Liu Mei's method really worked. She successfully turned the shared kitchen into the couple's own.

The next day, Qin Xi took her brother to the mountain to chop bamboo. At this time, there should have been a lot of bamboo shoots sprouting in the bamboo forest on the mountain, but the rain didn't fall, although some young bamboo sprouted. The first thing is that it is not a climate at all. It’s okay to try something new. If you want to dry bamboo shoots like last year, I’m afraid it won’t work.

After Tang Ying found out the reason why Qin Xi did this, she was very angry. That day, she pulled Qin Xi and said a lot of bad things about Liu Mei. These were all the information she got from the village. Although they were not true, they were A reference basis.

In short, it is to let Qin Xi have an initial impression of Liu Mei, so that he must not suffer any disadvantage when facing Liu Mei in the future.

After two days of cutting bamboo, there were several bundles of bamboo piled outside the house. A bamboo fence was enough to surround it.

They brought the bamboo leaves back and trimmed them so that they could be used as firewood. It would be too wasteful to just abandon them on the mountain. Of course, at the same time, it would be more difficult to bring the bamboo back.

Qin Jiang and Qin Xi have become very distant from Qin He in the past few days, and they can't even speak two words a day. It's just that he was immersed in the gentle countryside and didn't notice it.

They had just gotten married, and it was a time when they were inseparable. Not only Qin Jiang and Qin Xi were ignored by him, but others, such as He Yuan Fangzheng and the others, also had much less interaction with Qin He.

The atmosphere in the village is no longer as relaxed and cheerful as it was at the beginning of the year. It is almost the end of February. The rain has not fallen and spring plowing has not started. What will we eat this year?Most of the villagers in the village don't have much food storage at home. After all, they are just ordinary people. The food distributed every year is not enough for their own families, let alone such a thing as food storage.

If this spring plowing is not started, the important event will be delayed.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to wait for the rain, several leaders in the village gathered together and finally decided to plant the seeds first. The most important thing was rice seeds. This was related to the villagers' rations for the year and the village's tasks. Food is a big deal.

So, the village announced a meeting, with one person from each household and one person from the educated youth point. Everyone went to the home of the brigade leader Chen Aiguo for a meeting. Several cadres told the villagers their decisions, and then asked the villagers to vote. Whether they agree or disagree is their own choice.

Although this matter was their idea, the risk cannot be borne by the cadres who took the lead. Once this vote is cast, even if it is reversed later and they know that their decision-making at this time is wrong, they cannot be blamed. , because the choice was given to them and they chose to take this path.

As soon as this matter was passed, the village directly dispatched young people to go to the mountains to fetch spring water to irrigate the rice fields. First, irrigate dozens of acres and plant the rice seeds. Maybe, in a few months, the rice seedlings can be planted. Now, it’s going to rain, so there won’t be any delays then!

The water they drink now is spring water picked out from the mountain. The big pit where groundwater came up has dried up. Although it is troublesome to bring back the cold spring water in the cave, it is clear and delicious, and the taste is still very good. Yes, it was considered troublesome in the past, but now it has become a good thing in the mouth of the villagers.

They have no shortage of water for the time being. Not to mention anything else, the large and small caves in the mountains and the groundwater flowing in them are enough for the villagers to eat and drink, but if it is used for farming, it is not realistic and exhausting. It's tiring work, but you can't plant much.

As for cultivating rice seeds first before collecting water now, that is a stopgap measure when there is no other way.

There was a meeting the night before, and early the next morning, the villagers went out one after another carrying their buckets of water.

Qin Jiang and Qin He were no exception, but there were only two buckets and one pole at home, so naturally the two brothers took turns picking them.

The conversion of work points in the village this time is based on the number of times the water is carried. The scorekeeper is waiting at the edge of the field. Those who spill too much water will be unqualified. In the end, two buckets will be combined into one to see if you can do it. Can afford the loss.

A load of water counts as one work point, and there is no upper limit. You can eat as much food as you can afford.

As soon as Qin He left, Liu Mei felt bored, but Qin Xi rarely talked to her now and ignored her every time he met her.

She was also a spirited girl. When she learned from Qin Hekou that Qin Xi had never been to school at all, she felt happy in a flash. She finally had something to suppress Qin Xi.

Unexpectedly, the quiet and elegant Qin Xi was secretly illiterate. She felt that she was doing well again. Now she could hold back and not yell in front of Qin Xi, but Qin He stopped her.

Qin He made a mistake in this matter. He originally thought that talking about his sister Qin Xi's tragic experience would gain Liu Mei's sympathy and improve the relationship between the two. But who knew that Liu Mei would She doesn't play by the rules.
