butcher's little man

The time has come to September, but the weather is still very hot.It was another cloudless fine weather, although this was not what the villagers expected.

The river channel has been dug for almost a month, and the river channels have been widened a lot in the surrounding villages of Anyang County.The excavated soil is used to raise the embankments on both sides of the river to prevent the river from flooding the fields and crops in the coming year.

The young men were shirtless, wielding hoes and shovels, digging hard.Sweat ran down their oily and black backs, and was quickly dried, leaving only a little salt stain.

They don't care, they still work hard.This year is not good, but the imperial court sent people to rescue the disaster. The elderly and children don't have to go hungry, and they can get an extra food when they serve corvee.

"Everyone, come and drink water, the water is ready!" Li Amu brought over a large wooden barrel of herbal tea in a wheelbarrow. There were things like honeysuckle and wild chrysanthemums in it, and it was very comfortable to drink.These were collected by Li Amu in previous years, and they just happened to come in handy this year.

The men laughed and climbed up from the river, casually wiped their faces with the clothes laid on the bank, then took the bowl in Li Amu's hand and drank it down.These herbal teas relieved their hot bodies, and the hot weather didn't seem so uncomfortable.

Li Wenxuan did not spend money to hide from corvee this year, and he also worked below.What they did this time was for themselves, and it seemed a pity not to participate. The main reason was that he had nothing to do right now, and everyone was focusing on the river.

Even Li Amu has been boiling water at home for them to drink recently.Tian Xiaoman couldn't leave, he wanted to take Xiaotuanzi and Le Geer with him.Because all the refugees were arrested, most of the people living in the village moved back to the entrance of the village, and Aunt Liu took Liu Xilin back.

The other counties have basically been cleared up, so in the past few days, everyone has to connect the rivers in each county so that the river can surround these places.

There are also people digging in the provincial capital, just wait for this side to be connected, and then bring water from the big river.

This time the imperial court spent a lot of silver, but it is a matter of merit to the country if it is done well. Not only can the disaster situation in the two places be resolved, but it also provides a waterway for the north-south trade.

Xiaotuanzi has been living in style recently, because his uncle's food is shipped from other places, and his mother used these to make him a lot of delicious food. He is no longer a little bumpkin who has never eaten white melons. up.

After eating well, the flesh on Xiaotuanzi's body also grew when he saw the wind, and soon, a layer of small double chin appeared.Thanks to the excellent genes of his father and mother, even if Xiaotuanzi is fat, he is still fat and cute, not stupidly obese.According to his father's words, our dumplings just look richer, not fat at all!

After the danger outside was lifted, his mother also allowed him to go out to play.The first time Xiaotuanzi went out, he received a lot of envious looks.

"Wow, he's so fat! His mother must have fed him a lot."

"Yeah, she has a round face and a round belly."

Xiaotuanzi looked at those black and thin little guys, and felt very strange, they looked a little different from his family.The eyes of these people are also very strange. Xiaotuanzi's chrysanthemum tightened when he saw it, and he immediately grabbed Brother Le, "Brother, Jiajia!" I want to go back!

"Don't go back, Xiaotuanzi, let's go play with Brother Lin!" Geer Le held his younger brother's hand, ignoring the eyes of his surroundings.

Xiaotuanzi turned his head as he walked, and found that their eyes were still fixed on him... the glutinous rice sticks in his hands.He was so scared that he stuffed the thing, and then spread his hand to signal that it was gone.

When they arrived at Liu Xilin's house, Xiao Tuanzi was arranged by Le Geer to sit on a small stool, and watched Le Geer and Liu Xilin play house games.One is the father, one is the mother, and the other is the baby.

Xiaotuanzi wanted to participate in it many times, but he either overturned the wild vegetables that were used as dishes, or trampled the soil that was used as rice under his feet.Le Geer was very angry, turned Xiao Tuanzi over and made him lie on the stool to spank his ass, which is exactly what he did.Xiaotuanzi just thought it was fun, and kept turning his head and laughing at Brother Le.

Brother Le finally understood why he was always so angry at Xiao Tuanzi.I will never take him out to play again!

……

On this day, Tian Xiaoman was cooking in the kitchen.Now that the weather is cold, he lit the brazier outside, Geer Le and Xiaotuanzi sat and played together, and Li Amu watched them both, lest Xiaotuanzi fall into the brazier for fun.

This kid is very bad, he promised well at the beginning that Tian Xiaoman ordered him not to touch things, and when he saw that Eun was not staring at him, he immediately stretched out his hand.Once when Li Wenxuan came back from beating a little hedgehog, Tian Xiaoman didn't look at him for a while, and the kid stretched out his claws.But can the little hedgehog let him bully him?At that time, Xiaotuanzi's cries pierced through the sky.

Tian Xiaoman was very distressed, because Xiaotuanzi's tender little hands were pierced with a few blood spots, but Tian Xiaoman could only help him rub the medicine and wrap it up.But he also thought it was a bit funny, seeing if this kid would dare to grab everything in the future!

On the day of being stabbed, Xiaotuanzi kept his mouth shut. When he came back, he rushed forward to show his hands alone, and made a "woo woo" sound to express his sadness.Everyone expressed sympathy for him face to face, but they laughed together behind their backs, because everyone knew his problems.

After the meal was ready, Tian Xiaoman brought out two bowls of custard for the two children.Le Geer is already able to feed himself with a small spoon, and Xiao Tuanzi still needs someone to feed him.

"Water is coming! Water is coming! Come and see!" There was a burst of cheers outside, which attracted everyone's attention.

Tian Xiaoman dropped the spoon and ran out. Only Le Geer and Xiaotuanzi looked at each other in the room.

When he came to the river, he saw a muddy current flowing down from the upper reaches. It was small at first, and was absorbed by the mud in the river when it flowed down.But the water flow behind it is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, it converges into a small stream, and then it accumulates more and more...

Tian Xiaoman looked at the water that was not too much and was not clear, and felt hot in his eyes, what a beautiful water!Someone next to him was already crying, the days without water were too scary, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't drank water to his heart's content!

At this moment, a powerful force surged in everyone's heart, no matter how difficult the days are, the future will only get better and better!

Li Amu wiped away her tears, then looked at Tian Xiaoman beside her, "Xiaoman, where is the child?"

Tian Xiaoman stood on tiptoe trying to look at the upstream water, and pointed behind him casually, "Isn't it there...?" People!He immediately remembered, as if he hadn't brought anyone out at all!

The two hurried home, and then found that Le Geer and Xiao Tuanzi were sitting in a row eating egg custard. When they heard the noise, they both raised their heads at the same time, their cheeks bulging, like two little squirrels.

"Xiaotuanzi can eat by himself?" Tian Xiaoman was surprised, when did he learn it?Could it be that Li Wenxuan secretly taught him?

This problem has no solution for Tian Xiaoman, because Xiaotuanzi was forced!

After he ran out to look at the water, there was no one to feed the little dumpling.Seeing that the elder brother next to him was eating deliciously, he opened his mouth and yelled "Ahhh" at Brother Le, hoping that his elder brother would take up the task of E-Mum and continue to feed him.But Le Geer himself was still hungry. He ate hard and didn't receive Xiaotuanzi's signal at all.

Xiaotuanzi was anxious and greedy, he wanted to go to Brother Le to pull him, but his mother put him in the car for feeding, and he couldn't get out at all.He tried to bury his face in it and eat it, but it didn't work at all because his face was too big and the bowl was too small.The egg custard was slippery, and I couldn't hold it with my hands. In desperation, Xiaotuanzi learned to use a spoon. Although two of the three spoons would be spilled, he could finally eat it...

Li Wenxuan was walking home with a hoe on his shoulders. Hearing the sound of rushing water and people's cheers, he felt extremely satisfied. This year was finally over. As for the coming year, what is there to fear?

He took big steps and walked towards the small farmyard, where his parents, his lover and children were, that was his home...
