Chapter 16 Cow Dung
When Shen Yunfang heard the gong for going to work, she had already put away the sweet potatoes, packed herself, and walked to the production team.

She planned to go up the mountain today and come back with more firewood.

She had tidied up the backyard last night and had a plan.Of course, the completion of the plan requires certain preparations, and today's firewood is one of them.

After leading the flock to the spot where they were grazing yesterday, she tied up the head sheep again, and then she started to get busy.

There are not many trees on the hillside. It is impossible to collect firewood here, so we can only walk into the mountain.She walked up the mountain along a small dirt road that was obviously stepped on by the villagers.

She picked up all the branches she saw along the way, and when she picked up a small pile, she put the firewood in the space. Because the terrain was unfamiliar, she didn't dare to go deep, so she wandered around and didn't pick it up. to too much firewood.The main reason is that it is close to the village, and many children come here to pick up branches when they are free, so there are not many ready-made branches on the ground.

Shen Yunfang was sweating all over, and looked at the sky, mainly because she felt the hunger in her stomach, and judged that it should be close to noon, so she gave up collecting firewood in this area, she had to go home to cook, and she had to eat enough Have the physical strength to work.

It was still like yesterday, leaving the flock behind, and she slipped home to cook again by herself.

There is only corn noodles at home, so she has no other choice but to cook corn noodle porridge, put a curtain on it, wash a few sweet potatoes and put them on.

I went to the backyard to grab an old cucumber, peeled two potatoes, waited until the porridge and sweet potatoes in the pot were ready, and then started cooking, and made old cucumber fried potato chips.

There is only one stove in her house, and there is only one big pot. She can only cook first and then cook, which takes a long time.

With the yellow soil sweet potatoes, she drank two more bowls of porridge.

In the afternoon, she was still wandering around the hillside, and she didn't gain much. If she collected firewood at this speed, she would have nothing to do before winter, just collect firewood.

She drove the flock back, thinking that she would have to make some dry food for herself tomorrow morning, so she would go further tomorrow.

Drive the sheep back to the pen according to the normal procedure, and after cleaning the sheep pen, she stopped by the cowshed to have a look.

Oh, it's dirtier than yesterday, it seems that no one has come to clean it.

Thinking about her own plan, Shen Yunfang waved the shovel without being afraid of getting dirty or tired, and she didn't know who she was helping to clean the cowshed. Of course, her purpose was not to be a prostitute, she just wanted some cow dung.

Now she wishes someone could tell her the good news, "There is plenty of cow dung".

Shen Yeqing, who was sitting in the production team's room, looked out of the window anxiously. Just now, he watched his niece come back from driving the sheep. According to the usual practice, that girl Yunfang would go home after cleaning the sheepfold.He happened to stop people here, and finish the matter as soon as he said it.

Why do you stop when you see Shen Yunfang for something? The main reason is that Shen Yeqing is a bit too thoughtful. You said that if he watches his eldest niece work, can he, an uncle, not help? But, he With this status, it is a little unreasonable to go to sweep the sheepfold, so usually, if Shen Yeqing has something to do, he will wait in the production team, and when Shen Yunfang comes out of the backyard, he will stop him to talk about the matter.

But today, seeing the child go in, I have been waiting for half an hour, and the girl hasn't come out yet, what's the matter, cleaning a sheepfold is still so dawdling, it's all because of being spoiled by the third sibling.

Shen Yeqing waited a little anxiously, also worried that there was something wrong with the child, so he stopped holding it, and hurried to the backyard.

The house of this production team is good, but there are no windows on the wall facing the backyard, so sitting in the house can only see the front yard.

When Shen Yeqing walked to the backyard, he saw his eldest niece working hard in the cowshed.

Hey, what do you mean by that?I didn't expect this child to have such qualities.

"Yunfang, why are you sweeping the cowshed, and Er Gouzi didn't come here?"

The sanitation work of this cowshed is the responsibility of another Tao boy in the village. In order to take care of his third brother's family, and also to take care of the bereaved family members of the martyrs, he asked Yunfang, a little girl, to herd sheep. At the same time, considering the impact, he found another villager A poor family is taken care of together, that is, Er Gouzi's family, and Tao Boy of his family is responsible for cleaning the cowshed every day.

It's just that this Er Gouzi is a little out of tune, it would be nice to come to clean it once a week.

Shen Yunfang was taken aback by the sudden voice behind her, mainly because she didn't expect that at this time, there are still people who don't go home to eat and wander around outside, and then she felt lucky for a while, thanks to the fact that she didn't have the space to clean up the cow dung. Pretend to go, or else you have to be caught.

"Then what, I don't think it looks good, and I have nothing to do, it's just a matter of convenience." Seeing that the person who came was her uncle, she let go of her worries, but she still felt a little guilty. Not the kind of person with high moral character.If it wasn't for the dung, she wouldn't be doing the job.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yunfang's stuttering words actually flattered Uncle Shen.

Shen Yeqing was very relieved that his niece didn't take credit for doing the work. What kind of state of mind is this?However, what should be done is what should be done, she doesn't need to do the work that the little girl shouldn't do.

So he stood outside the cowshed, with his hands behind his back and a straight face, he said to Shen Yunfang who was holding a shovel inside: "Okay, don't do it, you come out, the uncle has something to do with you."

Shen Yunfang subconsciously wanted to raise her legs to follow the uncle, but she stopped when she saw the pile of cow dung under her feet.

She looked at the old man outside, and then at the cow dung that had brought her together. How could it be such a coincidence? If it's done, isn't her previous effort in vain?

Shen Yeqing didn't hear the sound of footsteps coming up behind him, and when he looked back, he saw his niece squinting her big eyes, looking at herself, then at her feet.

From this angle, he really couldn't see anything good under her feet, so he leaned forward and saw what his eldest niece was looking at, and he felt angry.

You said it was just a pile of cow dung, what else are you reluctant to part with.

"What's the matter, what's the problem with these cow dung?" Shen Yeqing raised his face again, his status is not as important as a pile of cow dung, so no one can think about it.

Without thinking about it, Shen Yunfang said, "No problem, I just want to take it home."

"Nonsense." Shen Yeqing yelled sharply, "Even if the cow dung is worthless, it is the property of the public. How can you take the cow dung from the public? Our production team needs fertilizer for farming, and everyone is like Like you, take all the things from the public house to your own house, what will it look like?"
