The middle-aged man's surname is Zhang. He lives in the town and has loved gambling all his life. After he gambled privately in the town, he spread his ideas around the town and used Zhao Jianlin to name those who love to gamble in every village. together.

That is to say, apart from Zhao Jianlin and Zhang Ge's five individuals, the original owner knows two from their production team, and the other three are from the production team next door.

Every time they act, people from the two production teams gamble together.

Brother Zhang looked at Xiao Le who was blushing with a smile on his face, "Xiao Laosan, you are lucky today."

Xiao Le chuckled, and looked at the person next to him, "In terms of luck, you won all my three dollars the day before yesterday."

The man shook his head, "I just won and I haven't thought about it yet, but I lost to Brother Zhang this morning."

"Thinking about it carefully, Brother Zhang seems to be the big winner among us," Xiao Le pointed out.

Brother Zhang's brows moved slightly, and he smiled, "You're right, I think you won't leave today if you win!"

"Yes, don't even think about leaving!"

"Then I'm not impolite," Xiao Le stretched out his right hand, "Just say that the money and tickets I have lost in the past two years are worth 200 yuan in total, right?"

"You are only one or two hundred," another person snorted, "I lost at least 400 yuan!"

"I can't compare with you," Zhao Jianlin sighed at the man, "You have a vice-captain's father."

"Stop talking about that, let's move on."

Brother Zhang saw that the topic was getting closer and closer to the dangerous area, so he hurriedly said.

"I'll bet on three more." "You can't bet on the same bet, that's the rule."

"I am at six o'clock."

"I'm at nine."

"I'm older..."

It was almost dark, Zhao Jianlin and the triumphant Xiao Le came out of the forest.

"Why are you so lucky today?"

I won eight yuan from Brother Zhang!

The rest also lost more than two yuan.

This is calculated to win more than 20 yuan, and this ordinary worker only earns 25 yuan a month!

"You don't even think about how much I lost before."

Xiao Le glanced at him dissatisfied, "Brother, you should be happy for me, why do you still think I'm lucky?"

"No, no, I just think you're lucky today," Zhao Jianlin actually couldn't figure out if Brother Zhang threw it on purpose, but he also threw it several times, and it was Xiao Le's point.

"Okay, I'll go back first," Xiao Le patted him on the shoulder.

"Then you have to go early in the morning."

Zhao Jianlin exhorted.

"This plan can't keep up with the changes," Xiao Le said with a bitter face, "My brother wrote that he would be back soon, and I was really afraid that he would come back suddenly."

Zhao Jianlin stopped talking, he was also quite afraid of Brother Xiao.

Of course, this was compiled by Xiao Le.

When he got home, Father Xiao was standing at the gate of the courtyard with a cold face. Seeing him coming back unsteadily, he immediately shouted, "Where did you go?!"

"Where can I go?"

Xiao Le spread his hands, "Turn around."

"Where did you go?"

"The production team next door has gone," Xiao Le walked up to him.

"What about the few dollars you asked for earlier?"

Father Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked him to take it out.

Fortunately, Xiao Le was prepared before, and took out the three yuan, "Here it is."

Father Xiao just reached out his hand to take it, but Xiao Le dodged it. He quickly put it away and looked at him with a smile, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do. I gave all the money, so there is no reason to go back Yes, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely be filial to you and mother."

"Bah," Father Xiao laughed angrily, "If you can make a lot of money, you little bastard, your grandparents will wake up laughing from the coffin!"

"God, what a terrible thing," Xiao Le shook his head, and ran into the yard, just in time to see Yingying who was all dirty and was standing in the corner for punishment.

"Hey, where did the little mud monkey come from?"

Xiao Le laughed.

"Playing crazy, she was punished by her mother to stand," Xiao father shook his head, "A girl's family is skinnier than a boy."

Just as Wei Meihua was about to come out to fetch water, she heard these words.

"That's good." Xiao Le patted Yingying's head with a smile, "This way boys won't dare to bully us Yingying."

Wei Meihua was taken aback, watching Xiao Le laugh at Yingying who had cried twice just now, she fetched water and turned to enter the stove.

"The third child is back?"

Xiao Ma, who was kneading cornmeal, asked.

"Ah."

"What the hell is this third child doing?" Mama Xiao was furious. "Tell me, how many people the same age as him are still unmarried in this village? He is the only one who is still doing nothing, not doing any serious business."

Wei Meihua didn't answer the call, and Xiao's mother didn't need her to answer the call, she just wanted to complain a few times, and if the daughter-in-law really said that the third child was bad, she would not be happy.

At dinner in the evening, Mama Xiao scolded Xiao Le for a while, and Yingying looked at Xiao Le frequently, but Xiao Le secretly made faces for her, making Yingying laugh, Mama Xiao realized that she had been talking for a long time, Xiao Le The son simply goes in one ear and goes out the other.

With a "snap", Mama Xiao placed the gray porcelain bowl heavily on the table, and Yingying quickly covered her mouth.

Xiao Le put down the bowl immediately, bowing his head in a gesture of "listening to you".

"Xiao Le, go to work with your father tomorrow."

Seeing him like this, no matter how many words he had in his heart, when they came to his lips, they finally turned into a sigh, and only said this sentence.

"what?"

Xiao Le raised his head unwillingly, "Mom, I, my back hurts, so I can't go."

"Why does your back hurt?"

Father Xiao frowned.

Xiao Le's eyeballs rolled straight, and he looked dishonest, "I don't know, why don't you give me a few dollars and I'll go to town to see?"

"Bah!" Papa Xiao also put down the bowl, and said angrily, "Come to work with me tomorrow morning!"

Originally, it was fine, but Father Xiao was afraid that Xiao Le would run away at night, so he insisted on sleeping on the floor in his room.

Fortunately, the weather is slightly hot now, otherwise I would have to catch a cold when I slept on the floor.

It's not that Xiao Le didn't let him sleep on the bed, it's because the bed is a single bed, and it can't sleep two people.

Xiao Le slept well, but Father Xiao didn't sleep well, and sat up from time to time to see if the person on the bed had escaped.

"Dad, why are your eyes so dark?"

In the early morning of the next day, when the father and son were washing their faces in the yard, Xiao Le looked at Father Xiao who was not in a good spirit with a puzzled face.

"Still asking," Father Xiao glared at him, "If I wasn't afraid of you running away, I wouldn't have to be so nervous at night!"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Xiao Le looked dissatisfied, "I, Xiao Le, am also a man."

"Man?"

Looking at his son's white face and neck, Father Xiao lowered his head to look at his dark hand, and stretched it out, "This is a man!"

"Mom!" Xiao Le stared at his arm for a while, then suddenly shouted towards the kitchen, "Dad said you gave birth to him a third child who is neither male nor female!"

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Le in shock, and couldn't believe his ears.

Soon, Mama Xiao rushed out with an angry expression on her face, pointing the torch and yelling at Papa Xiao, "What is he not a man or a woman? Did you say that about your son? How did you become a father!"

"I do not have!"

Daddy Xiao is wronged.

But the person who wronged him has already slipped into the room to change clothes.

Xiao's mother sewed a set for him yesterday, just in time to put it on.

In the countryside these days, if someone wears unpatched clothes, it will take a long time for people to say, or guess that the person wearing the new clothes is getting married soon, or guess that this person is going to live in the city.

After breakfast, Xiao Le obediently followed Father Xiao to work.

And Mama Xiao and Wei Meihua cleaned up, closed the courtyard door, and took Yingying out.

On the way, Xiao's mother was always worried that something would happen to Xiao Le. After all, the original owner often ran away after half a day's work.

"Mom," Wei Meihua listened all the way, and when they were almost at the place where they went to work, she asked Yingying to play in a place not far away where the children gathered together, and said to Xiao's mother, "It's better to let my uncle go to work than him." Run to gamble early in the morning."

These words made Mother Xiao shut up immediately.

Because it is the truth.

Even half a day's work is better than half a day's gambling.

"Xiao Laosan, why are you here today?"

As soon as the rock-beating team saw Xiao Le, someone laughed out loud.

"The bones are weak after resting at home, but I still have to join the pace of the working people and contribute to the production team."

Xiao Le was filled with righteous indignation.

After a few hahahas with everyone, Father Xiao held Xiao Le and said in a low voice, "You don't know how to quarry stones, so you can resist stone slabs honestly."

"Oh."

Xiao Le nodded obediently.

The granary of the production team was originally a wooden house, but the beams collapsed last winter, so the team leader used stone slabs to build a new granary after letting everyone be free.

Now is the time for late spring.

Of the more than 20 men, none of them was as pale as Xiao Le.

It made Xiao Le feel that he was a bit out of place.

The men worked together in a division of labor, and the hammers and hammers went into battle together, and the sound of force was constantly rising and falling.

It didn't take long for everyone to sweat profusely.

Xiao Le was carrying a stone slab and walked towards the granary with ease.

They are quarrying rocks in the upper reaches of the dam, and the location of the granary is a little higher in the lower part of the river. It takes about 10 minutes to go there, even if you walk there, and at least 10 minutes to go there by carrying things.

Xiao Le walked in the middle, and when others stopped to rest, he also put down.

The stone slab was placed on the ridge, making a dull sound.

The young man next to him wiped the sweat from his face, looked at Xiao Le who didn't change his face, and didn't even drop a drop of sweat, and sighed, "If it wasn't for your stone slab making that kind of sound like mine, I would have thought it was fake. of it."

How is it so easy?

"I don't sweat."

Xiao Le is also suffering. Although he has great strength and is easy to carry, the original owner has never done such a heavy job.

He pulled down the clothes on his shoulders and showed the young man, "Look, it's all red."

The young man leaned over to take a look, and saw that the skin on the fair shoulders had already worn away a little. In addition, Xiao Le was also white, which made him look pitiful.

"Your skin is too delicate."

"It's not what I want."

Xiao Le pulled up his clothes, carried the stone slabs with the crowd and continued to walk forward.

In one morning, Xiao Le and the young man carried it twelve times together.

The sweat also came down, not from tiredness, but from the sun.

Looking at the young man again, the clothes on his body are already soaked, his hair is also wet, and his face is black and red.

"You are amazing."

The young man felt ashamed that he was not as good as a boy who didn't come to work all the year round.

"Which family do you belong to?"

Xiao Le's sudden question made the young man feel extremely insulting.

"I," the young man pointed to himself, "according to our seniority, you and I are cousins."

Xiao Le narrowed his eyes, the cousin in the memory of the original owner, it seems that there is no such person.

Seeing his puzzled face, the young man held back, "In retrospect, our grandfather was a cousin, and now he is an ordinary relative. My name is Xiao Ming."

"Oh, Xiao Ming, I know, I know, it's been a long time, have you become handsome? Hahaha..."

This awkward laughter did not make Xiao Ming feel better.

"Sorry, I don't have a very good memory," Xiao Le felt too embarrassed.

"It's okay." Xiao Ming lowered his head and lifted his clothes, wiping the sweat from his face, "You don't come to work often, so you'll get to know him later."

"I don't know if I will come tomorrow or not."

Xiao Le secretly glanced at Father Xiao who was staring at him.

Xiao Ming glanced at Xiao Le's shoulders. The clothes on both sides were already worn out, and he nodded in agreement, "You haven't worked for a long time, and you suddenly exert yourself. You won't be able to lift your arms tomorrow."

"……seems like it."

Xiao Le turned his head to the side, and carefully blew on his skinned shoulder.

When taking out the dry food at noon, Xiao Le felt pain.

"You too, what are you doing so many trips with Xiao Ming?"

Father Xiao also felt distressed when he saw it.

"It's not that you said I'm not a man," Xiao Le gnawed on the dry food aggrievedly, "How about it, did I give you a face this morning?"

"It's too long face," Father Xiao said in an unprecedentedly happy mood, "Didn't you see the expressions of your uncle and third uncle, making them laugh at me for having an incompetent son, and their sons can't compare to this job?" !"

"of course!"

Xiao Le's face showed the same pride as Xiao's father.

The father and son looked similar, and they held up the dry food and ate at the same speed, which made Xiao Ming, who was sitting not far from them, chuckle.

"What laughing?"

Xiao Ming's father turned his head, and saw his silly son staring at the father and son smiling.

"Dad, look at them, they look and act the same, they are really father and son."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the back of the head by his father, "They are father and son, how did you talk?"

"However," Xiao Ming's father narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Le, "this Xiao Le is really good at work."

"Well," Xiao Ming nodded, "I underestimated others before."

In the afternoon Xiao Ming went back and forth with Xiao Le.

When he got off work, Xiao Le's shoulder was already bleeding.

"My God, I think you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Xiao Ming also noticed that Xiao Le has a lot of strength, but he doesn't have a body that can bear this strength.

"Stop it," Xiao Le's originally bright red lips were now slightly pale and chapped.

"Come here, everyone!"

While talking, the captain brought two people over.

Now that we have just finished work, everyone is sitting in the shade to rest and talk.

Hearing what the captain said, he propped up his tired body and walked over.

Xiao Le didn't want to go there at first, but when he saw the person standing on the captain's right, he immediately became full of energy.

"Go, go and have a look," Xiao Le got up, and did not forget to torture Xiao Ming who didn't want to move.

Of course Xiao Ming didn't want to lose to Xiao Le, so he got up and followed.

"This is Li Zhiqing," the captain introduced the young man on his left.

Li Zhiqing is a northerner with a tall stature and a loud voice.

"This is Mo Zhiqing," the captain introduced the youth on his right.

Mo Zhiqing is a southerner, but he is taller than Li Zhiqing, but he is not so strong. He wears black-rimmed glasses and looks very handsome.

Xiao Le looked at each other without blinking.

Compared with Mo Cheng who had a scar on his face in the last time and space, Mo Cheng in this time and space only has one less scar and is much whiter.

It's still his Mo Cheng.

"They are educated youths who just arrived yesterday. They will get familiar with everyone first, and after they get used to it, they will follow you to work."

Of course it is not quarrying, because the quarrying work has been started for three days, and this is the fourth day. Tomorrow there will be no quarrying, and the construction of the granary will start.

Everyone expressed their enthusiasm for the two educated youths.

Xiao Le walked up to Mo Zhiqing, and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Xiao Le."

Mo Zhiqing's eyes paused for a moment on Xiao Le's torn clothes and blood-stained shoulders, "Hello, my name is Mo Cheng."

Xiao Le grinned, and happily followed Papa Xiao, who was full of distress, back home.

Looking at his brisk back, Mo Zhiqing always felt that this little comrade was very familiar, and gave him a...very close feeling.

"Mo Zhiqing, let's go too."

After Li Zhiqing finished talking with others, he also came over.

"Ah."

Mo Zhiqing nodded, and went back to the Educated Youth Institute with him. There were 12 educated youths in the Educated Youth Institute. Li Zhiqing and Mo Zhiqing only came yesterday.

Their beds were right next to each other.

"I heard that Xiao Laosan has come to work, and he works very well."

Mo Zhiqing was just about to fetch water when he heard an educated youth who was a few years earlier than them talking about people in the village.

He remembered that when that little comrade left, someone called him Xiao Laosan.

"Yeah, I carried that stone slab back and forth nearly twenty times today! The work points are directly recorded as ten."

"I saw that the clothes on his shoulders were all torn and bleeding. It was not easy."

Sure, it's that little comrade.

Inexplicably, Zhiqing Mo put down the barrel, sat by the bed and quietly listened to them talking about that little comrade.

There is an elder brother who is a soldier in the family, and an older sister who is married. He is the youngest and is very popular with his parents at home, so he often does not come to work. Unexpectedly, he came here suddenly and worked extremely hard.

The little comrade's lovable smile appeared in Mo Zhiqing's mind, and he raised his hand to push his glasses.

"My God, how did you do this!"

When she got home, Mother Xiao saw Xiao Le whose shoulders were turning blue, and her voice trembled.

"It's okay," Xiao Le grinned at her, "I earned ten work points today!"
