C11 Puller

After dinner, Min Jie carried the girl brought over by Grandma Gu and supported her over there. Zhao Jia Village was about seven to eight miles to the south, and just in time, they went to Pan Meiyun's house to borrow a bicycle to send Grandma Gu back.

After sending Grandma Gu away, he tidied up the house, put on Gu Min Qian's clothes, and brought her to the living quarters. There, he planted two ditches of sweet potatoes, which he had already harvested. However, many families would dig the ditches and loosen the soil with their heads, in case they missed something, wouldn't that be better?

Mother Gu let Gu Min play by herself on the ground. She took the stick and began to dig along the ground, but she didn't expect that after a while, she would actually find two pieces of missing sweet potatoes. She was so happy that Mother Gu squinted her eyes and found the energy to work even harder.

After digging for a while, Mother Gu had to rest while leaning on the wooden handle of her feet, using her hands to lift up her waist, and also to check if her daughter was playing obediently. Many parents, like Mother Gu, took their children to the fields and waited obediently without running around, sitting on top of the snakeskin bags that their parents had brought with them. Some of them were playing with grass, while some were playing with two pieces of dirt in their hands, Gu Qian's mother pulled out two stalks of grass and passed them to Gu Min her hands, making Gu Min lower her head to wait for them.

He dug through both channels and picked up a few of them. They were long and thin, so he didn't want to underestimate them. He took them home to wash. He wanted to cut them into pieces and put them into the corn gruel.

Minjie had taken leave this afternoon to take her mother home, and after returning her bicycle to Pan Meiyun's house, she hurried to her own lodgings, where she dug up two furrows of melon and a small patch of cornfield. The corn had been broken off and the corn stalks were still standing on the ground, and Minjie, when he arrived, had also picked up a stick and used it to grind up the corn stalks and bring it home for a firewood fire.

Minjie worked quickly and rhythmically, taking one step at a time and putting down the corn stalks, then one step after the other, and putting them all aside, Gu Mu's mother gathered them into a pile, then used a slightly thinner stalk of corn stalks to tie them into a basket. It didn't take long for the two of them to turn the standing stalks of corn stalks into corn stalks one by one in the field.

Min Jie wiped off the sweat from his face. It was not early already, but he really didn't feel safe putting the corn stalks on the ground. No one cared about having more firewood, it would be painful if someone pulled one or two away.

Minjie said, "Mom, I'm going to the village to borrow a train line. We can take it home with us."

Mother Gu said, "Alright then, I'll wait here. It's getting late, go and quickly come back." "Yes," Minjie replied, and hurried into the village.

Not far from the village, there was a small river flowing in from the north. The villagers had dug a small reservoir from the north, and the name of the river was Big Bay, and beside the big bay was a thick willow tree, and beside the willow tree was a small stone bridge with a big hole. The bridge was also not small, and it seemed like it had been built for a long time, and there was a gap in the south side of the river, and the water in the river flowed slowly south, and then turned to the east, where Gu Min and her elder sister had brought Pan Meiyun home two days ago.

It was already the end of September, and the crops in the fields had all been harvested. From afar, the sky was clear and the ground looked flat, there were low dams on both sides of the river, rows upon rows of small poplar trees were growing on top of the dams, and the leaves on the poplar trees had already fallen. There were even some people carrying baskets on their backs and holding bamboo sticks as they hugged the leaves, calling out to several people when they saw them.

The river was clear and shallow, and the flow was very gentle. The bridge was made of stone, and although it was small and delicate, it didn't have the agility of a small bridge in the south, but it still had a certain simplicity and abundance that made people happy. Gu Min Qianqian felt that if the material life could be a little richer, each meal could have more water, and if she could eat a little more meat, it would be even more satisfying.

Today, there were a lot of people busily working in the private area. Gu Min Qianqian stood on the ground, looked at the scenery in the distance, and then turned around to look at Gu Min who was carrying the corn stalks to the ground. She dropped the two pieces of grass in her hands, and jogged over, pulling up a stalk of corn straw to pull it downwards.

She turned around and saw her daughter dragging a stalk of corn stalks. She was so tired that she was bending over with her face red, so she rushed over and took the straw from Gu Min Qian's hands and said, "You child, how old are you? You haven't even fully recovered yet. Hurry and go rest. It's only this many items, I'll be able to get everything ready in a short while."

Gu Min Qian also felt that she had gone too far in her task. With a sigh, she followed behind Gu Min and walked towards the ground. After taking two steps, she saw a grasshopper on the ground.

Gu Min Qian looked at the grasshopper swaying wildly in her hands and shouted, "Mother!" She turned around and saw her daughter holding a large grasshopper. She smiled and said, "This is a good thing, I'll find some grass for you to wear and cook it when we get home."

Gu Min Qianqian knew that this thing contained a high protein content. Even if she couldn't fill her stomach, it could still nourish her body. She watched as Gu Min found a long, sturdy stalk of grass to pass under the grasshopper's head and began to search the ground for grasshoppers after receiving it.

After searching for a long time, Gu Min Qian finally found a few grasshoppers. Min Jie had already pulled a cart over, and Gu Min's mother had no time to look at the little girl, so she quickly placed corn stalks on top of the cart. Gu Min Qian walked in front of the cart and saw Min Jie's expression, which was somewhat unpleasant, as if she was angry, or as if she was very aggrieved. Gu Min Qianqian waved a string of grasshoppers at Min, and Min saw it, she smiled and said, "Qianqian caught some grasshoppers, let's go back and burn them." That smile looked forced, completely different from the smile that Min Jie had when he was happy.

The two of them quickly loaded a large cart and used the rope to pull it together. Minjie lifted the front two shafts of the cart and tested them. She hung the wide belt between the shafts on her shoulders, bent over, and gritted her teeth. She used all her strength to pull the carriage forward.

Mother Gu let Gu Min Qianqian follow behind them while she pushed the cart behind. Just like that, the two of them pulled the cart out of the ground and walked onto the already hard and stepped path that led to the village.

On the way, Ming-jie stopped the train, which was already beyond her ability. Although Ming-jie had worked in the village for two years as a production team, and during the production team's division of labor, she had done all the hard work without sharing the work with the girls, not to mention the girls who were not married yet, except, of course, the girls in the Iron Lady Class, who were crazy about what kind of work they wanted, and who earned a lot of money, but who often exceeded her physical limits. She was told that a girl in the Iron Lady Class was not allowed to take regular leave, and her parents did not allow her to continue working in the Iron Lady Class.

Mother Gu touched her waist and walked to the front of the train, saying to Minjie, "Minjie, let me pull."

Minjie shook his head and said, "Mother, your waist is not good enough. I will be fine. This journey is easy. We can reach home if we go downhill in one go."

Twice he spat into his hand, looked down the road, and Minjie got back into the car. Mother Gu and Min Jie had been a bit heavy when they were loading the carriage. Min Jie regretted not having tried loading the carriage at the same time, so it would be lighter if he pulled it back neither lightly nor heavily, especially when he was on the way home. As long as he could control the direction of the carriage, it wouldn't be like the current where he would have to lift it up and Min Jie could only rely on his willpower to pull the carriage forward.

When he reached the village entrance, he met Shen Feiyang. Seeing Min Jie pulling the queue car over, Shen Feiyang quickly pulled over and said to Min Jie, "Min Jie, how old are you to pull such a heavy car? Didn't your brother tell you to look for me when he left?"

Min Jie was so tired that his whole body was trembling. He smiled and said, "Big Brother Shen, just a little bit of corn stalk is worth it. I'll just pull it home with my mother."

Without another word, Shen Feiyang took off the strap on Minjie's shoulder and hung it on his own. Then, he said to his mother who had already walked to the front of the terracotta car, "Auntie Gu, I'll pull her back for you."

Mother Gu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Flight, there's no need."

Shen Feiyang pulled the car up and said, "It's fine. Min Jing and I are good friends. We should be able to help out with this idea." After saying that, he pulled up the train and walked towards the village.

It was easy for a man to do all the hard work. Min Jie pulled the car, and Shen Feiyang easily pulled it. Not only did Min Jie pull it, Shen Feiyang was tall, with long legs, and walked very quickly. Min Jie and Gu Mi followed behind and helped push the car, but the two of them no longer had to push the cart as they followed the car and jogged forward.

Gu Min Qianqian's shank was short. She had only taken a few steps when she saw the line of cars in front of her. Anxiously, she held onto the grass with a string of grasshoppers and ran forward, but because her body was too weak, her coordination wasn't very good. After only a few steps, she fell to the ground and began to eat sh * t.

The first thing she did was to feel embarrassed. It was normal for her to fall, but now that she realized that she was only a three-year-old child, the weather was cold and her clothes were thick, so she wasn't hurt much, but her pants were torn at the knees, and her arms were numb from the impact. Gu Min sighed in her heart, and before she could get up, Gu Min turned her head and saw that Gu Min had fallen, lying on the ground, and shouted, "Qianqian," She turned around and ran back.
