life struggle

The four of them had just had dinner, when the silent sky suddenly thundered and lightning flashed, the wind blew up, and heavy rain fell from the sky, which lasted for more than an hour.

Bai Lingyan said happily, "Uncle, Auntie, this rain is so good and timely, it will definitely rain the ground thoroughly, and it won't affect the dealer if it doesn't rain for ten or eight days. Early in the morning, go to the field to have a look, and you can also pull out some of the excess seedlings in the field, and plant them in places that lack seedlings."

Mrs. Xiao Jun said with a smile, "Children who come out of the countryside are different. They know everything and can do everything. If you are here in the future, we will not have to worry about it anymore. Girl, you have been tired all day, so take a rest early. Xiaojun, bring a basin of footwashing water to Lingyan."

Wu Xiaojun said flatteringly, "Swallow, let's go!"

Bai Lingyan asked while washing her feet, "Xiaojun, my sister-in-law came back today and urged you to report to the Personnel Bureau, when are you going to go?"

Wu Xiaojun said lightly, "I haven't thought about it yet, just wait!"

Bai Lingyan said in a low voice, "Don't wait, go early, otherwise it will affect the arrangement of the unit."

Wu Xiaojun looked at Bai Lingyan and said, "If your problem is not resolved, I will not be in the mood to report for duty."

Bai Lingyan said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry about mine first, we'll make arrangements for you."

Wu Xiaojun said depressingly, "How can it be possible? If your matter is not resolved for a day, I will not report for a day."

Bai Lingyan said seriously, "Don't you want us both to have no career? Work, do you get ahead? If you continue like this, it’s not a problem to stay at home and farm all the time. My uncle and aunt are worried and worried, and I feel uneasy. As long as you have a job, there will be a solution for the two of us, and everything will be fine. It’s easy to say. Be obedient and go through the formalities as soon as possible. If you insist on not going, I won’t force you, so I have no choice but to leave here.”

Wu Xiaojun laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll listen to you, why don't you go! Don't think so much, go to bed early." He kissed her on the forehead, turned and left.

It rained a lot last night. The normally dry pits and trenches were filled with water. The drought in the ground disappeared, and everything revived. The crops that drank the rain all night grew a lot, and the withered and yellow land was dressed in green and revived. Birth machine.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan walked out of the house and walked to the ground on the muddy village road.

The soil in the plain is weak, not as stiff as in the mountains, and the rain is more permeable. Bai Lingyan stepped into the ground with great interest, and her whole foot sank in, and her shoes couldn't be pulled out as if they were welded to the soil.

Wu Xiaojun smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, isn't it very fun."

Bai Lingyan said angrily on purpose, "Come here and help me, and just have fun on the sidelines."

Wu Xiaojun said proudly, "Take care of your own affairs and don't make trouble for others."

Bai Lingyan looked at a few barefoot corn planting women in the field next to her and smiled at her, and said a little embarrassedly, "Xiaojun, don't be silly, others are looking at me."

Wu Xiaojun grabbed Bai Lingyan's hand and pulled her up, "This land is muddy, it was watered just yesterday, and it rained heavily immediately after, so we must not go in. Let's go to another land to have a look." Well, it will be better without watering."

Bai Lingyan gently picked the mud on her feet with a branch, looked up at the corn seedlings in the field, thought for a while and said, "The corn in this field got water before other fields, and the seedlings grew bigger. Some would be better off planted elsewhere."

Wu Xiaojun said, "You still want to fall into it again!"

Bai Lingyan said, "The ground here is relatively hygienic. There are no bricks, tiles, stones, broken glass, etc., and it doesn't pierce your feet. I have no experience just now. It is not easy to jump in with shoes. Bare feet are definitely fine."

Wu Xiaojun said, "Since you're not afraid, I don't even have to say, let's pull the seedlings."

The two carefully went down to the ground and spent more than an hour pulling out more than 300 corn seedlings. Regardless of the mud on the roots sticking to their short-sleeved shirts, they carried them directly to another field, squatted down and ridged a corn seedling along the ground. Trees were neatly replanted in the empty space.

Qiao Na, who was replanting corn nearby, saw all this clearly, and felt very uncomfortable.She lowered her head and watched silently for a long time, thinking that Xiaojun's daughter-in-law didn't look like a college student at all, and she was really good at doing crop work.Some time ago, there was an uproar, saying that it was completely yellow. I don’t know what kind of medicine they sold in the gourd, but it suddenly popped up again. There is no sense of unfamiliarity, and it looks like they don’t want to settle down here.She is very different from Zhu Chunyan. She is a college student and a farmer. She is no stranger to the land, and she seems to have some feelings, so she is not easy to fool.If she were here, the duck that was about to get her would have to wait another three to five years even if she didn't fly.No, I have to find out about her first.

Qiao Na has been making her own calculations for a long time, and has formed a deep relationship with Wu Xiaojun, and has suffered from him more than once. She always feels a little apprehensive when she sees him, and she dare not look him in the face.Waiting for the opportunity for him to pull seedlings from the middle of the field, he walked up to Bai Lingyan and said hypocritically, "Xiaojun's daughter-in-law is really capable. See how neatly the corn you planted, the distance is exactly the same as if you measured it with a ruler."

Bai Lingyan didn't know who Qiao Na was. Seeing her dark face with contempt, and her eccentric words, people could hear goosebumps all over her body. She felt a little disgusted and annoyed in her heart, so she glanced at her lightly. speech.

Qiao Na continued to speak in a subdued tone, "I am Xiaojun's sister-in-law, and we are sisters-in-law. Although you have just arrived, you are a famous person in our village, and everyone knows it. You are not like me, who can't read a word. , born to serve the land, a learned person, and your third brother found you a good job, earning a lot of money, if you also serve the land like me, it would be too inferior."

The more Bai Lingyan listened to it, the more unhappy she became. She thought to herself, who is this? He is such a rough person, and he doesn't look at the target when he speaks, so he said angrily, "I'm bored, I don't have time to listen to your inexplicable words, don't delay me Work." After speaking, she stood up with the corn seedlings and walked to the other end of the ground, making Qiao Na a big chicken nest neck, and left in a boring way.

Wu Xiaojun saw Qiao Na and Bai Lingyan talking from a distance, and he muttered in his heart, this shrew can't spit out ivory, so he wondered what nonsense she was talking about.He walked up to him and asked, "The person who was talking to you just now is sister-in-law Qiaona. You two are very hot, how do you feel about that person?"

Bai Lingyan said angrily, "She's just a yellow-faced woman with no brains, she's not worth talking about at all."

Wu Xiaojun said, "She is the kind of person who is not annoying, don't mind."

Taking advantage of the moisture, the two filled up the lack of seedlings in the ground. They worked hard for two days, and then there were two showers, so they rested at home for three or four days.

Seeing that the end of July was coming, under Bai Lingyan's urging, Wu Xiaojun went to the Oita Office of Pingdong City Personnel Bureau to complete the registration procedures.At ten o'clock, Wu Xiaojun had just come out of the city's Oita Office with a letter of introduction to the Yuanzhen County Personnel Bureau, and met Shao Yingying head-on. Seeing that her face was yellow and her spirits were a little listless, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, she couldn't help but feel sad. Startled for a moment, he hurried forward and asked, "Yingzi, are you sick, why are you so haggard?"

Shao Yingying nodded depressedly and said, "Yes, I had a case of acute pancreatitis some time ago and stayed in the hospital for ten days, which delayed the registration. You are also here to go through the formalities, why is it so late? Are you done? ,went well?"

Wu Xiaojun said worriedly, "It's very simple, just register here, write a letter of introduction to the county and you're done. What's the matter with you, why did you get sick after everything is fine, you must be more careful in the future."

Shao Yingying said with a wry smile, "It's okay, everything is fine. You came back a long time ago, why did you come to go through the formalities?"

Wu Xiaojun said in embarrassment, "I'm very troubled, and I have been in no mood to come, and I have been procrastinating until today. Don't talk about this, let me do business first."

When the two came out of the Municipal Personnel Bureau, Wu Xiaojun asked with concern, "Are you used to this place? How are Auntie and Uncle Luo?"

Shao Yingying said lightly, "It's been less than a week since I've been here, and I feel okay. The climate is not too dry, and it's more convenient to travel and everything. There is nothing uncomfortable. With me by my side, they are no longer lonely, and they are very happy. That's fine too."

Wu Xiaojun said happily, "Very well. When I heard that you were coming here, I was always worried that you would not get used to it. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. This is your first time in Pingdong, and you will definitely come here in the future." It’s still early to do business, I’ll accompany you around the city to familiarize yourself with the environment.”

Shao Yingying nodded.

The two took the bus along Kaixuan Avenue to the commercial street near Songyuan Square, and then walked into the Kaixuan Commercial Building. Shao Yingying was particularly fond of a style of dress, and Wu Xiaojun said without hesitation, "Yingzi, This style suits you very well, it's absolutely beautiful to wear, take it off if you like it, and get me the light red one with plum blossoms."

Shao Yingying asked puzzled, "Why do you want a skirt?"

Wu Xiaojun smiled wryly, "I can't go back empty-handed once I come here, why don't you bring something to Bai Lingyan!"

Shao Yingying frowned, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't say anything just now, so I didn't feel embarrassed to ask, what's going on with you two?"

Wu Xiaojun urged, "It's hard to say, I'll talk to you slowly when I get down."

The two walked around for a while, the weather was a bit hot, and Shao Yingying was struggling to walk, so she sat down at a snack shop and chatted while eating.With a heavy heart, Shao Yingying listened to Wu Xiaojun's account of what happened some time ago, and interjected resentfully, "So Lingyan's mother is not slandering you!"

Wu Xiaojun nodded embarrassingly.

Shaoying said quietly, "You and Lingyan are really good enough. Everyone in the school knows about the ups and downs. No wonder it is so. I really didn't see that you are such a person."

Wu Xiaojun was silent for a while and said, "I didn't expect things to turn out so badly, I'm so sad!"

Shao Yingying then asked, "Since then, have you two met again?"

Wu Xiaojun sighed and said, "See you! She was in a bad mood and had a falling out with her family. I had no choice but to bring her back. What troubled me was that she never wanted to leave here. Her The personnel relationship can't be changed for a while. I'm really worried that I'll leave her on the other side and leave this side empty. I'm in a dilemma now. I don't know where this emotional entanglement will develop and how it will end! "
