On the grain drying field, two rows of logs were neatly arranged, and Zhao Zhuangshi and Li Xiaoshan occupied one row.

There was also a group of young people booing around, and the children of the village primary school even jumped around and ran back and forth.What was supposed to be a boring job was turned into a flower by them.

Zhao Zhuangshi was carrying the axe, and he smiled and said to Li Xiaoshan: "Hey, let's bet something? If I win, how about your daughter-in-law's red scarf for my little sister?"

"Get out!" Li Xiaoshan stared at his eyes, "Don't mess with my daughter-in-law's things, I bought them for her with the money I saved for several years!"

"Tsk tsk, I'm picking you up," Zhao Zhuangshi wiped his nose, then rubbed his hands, "Then you're going to lose and buy me a big front door!"

Daqianmen cigarettes cost thirty-five cents a pack, which is definitely considered a luxury in the countryside.

Sure enough, Li Xiaoshan didn't agree: "You still want Daqianmen, why don't you go to the sky? At most, you can bet on a bag of big money!"

A pack of economical cigarettes costs eight cents, which is the limit Li Xiaoshan can accept.

"I'll kill you!" Zhao Zhuangshi cursed.

Li Xiaoshan ignored his aggressive general: "Don't bet and pull down!"

"Gambling! Who says you can't gamble! A big economy is a big economy, don't deny it!"

Zhao Zhuang felt aggrieved on the face, but happy in his heart.Don't care what kind of smoke it is, it's better than nothing!

Li Xiaoshan reminded again worriedly: "If you lose, you have to pay me a box of big money."

"I know, I know, how can I be worse than you?" Zhao Zhuangshi didn't care, "Besides, how can I still lose to you?"

Li Xiaoshan snorted and gripped the ax tightly.

The gamble between the two of them was established under the witness of a group of villagers. The onlookers were smiling and talking, and they were all happy to watch the lively snowflakes.

"Come on, the one who hacks first wins, get ready—start!"

With a wave of a spectator acting as a temporary referee, the two axes began to fly up and down.

The sound of chopping wood was endless, and the wood covered with brown bark was cut lightly by the sharp axe, and fell to the sides with a snap.

Zhao Zhuangshi and Li Xiaoshan swung axes and moved their feet. They were like wood-chopping machines, moving forward all the way.

Li Xiaoshan was a good hand at work, but Zhao Zhuangshi really deserved to have grown up chopping firewood since he was a child. Halfway through the trip, he left Li Xiaoshan behind.

"come on! Come on!"

"Hurry up, Xiaoshan!"

"Come on!"

The onlookers yelled, their eyes following the axe.

"Crack-"

Zhao Zhuangshi swung his ax down for the last time, and when he turned around, Li Xiaoshan was five strokes behind him.

"Hey, did you lose? Are you convinced?" Zhao Zhuangshi panted heavily, his forehead steaming.

Li Xiaoshan finished chopping the last five pieces of wood, then straightened up, gasping for breath, and glared at him: "I admit the loss, but I won't accept you!"

"Hey, fuck, why didn't I see that you have a tough mouth before!"

Li Xiaoshan ignored him, rolled his eyes and said, "I'll buy you cigarettes tomorrow after cutting down the tree, I don't owe you anything!"

"Okay, I'll wait!"

Zhao Zhuangshi accepted the benefits as soon as he got the benefits, and he stopped being mean when he was cheerful, for fear that the smoke that made Li Xiaoshan anxious would fly away.

The grain drying field was very lively. Someone helped to pick up the scattered scorpions. After talking and laughing a few words, they continued to do what they should do.

The next day, when the snow stopped, the firewood-cutting brigade gathered up the mountain again on time.

There is snow on the mountain road, but no one cares.Almost every year when chopping firewood, they have to go to the snow for a few days, and they have long been used to it.

Teachers don't have to go to the mountains to cut firewood, and the village primary school still has to attend classes, because they have serious things to do.

Other educated youths did not have such privileges, and followed the big team up the mountain with an ax on their shoulders.

Yu Xiangqin was also in the team, and Wen Qingqing and Wen Ruanruan supported her from left to right.

She didn't have to come, but she didn't want to give up her work points, so she refused to ask for leave.

"Sister Xiangqin, are you really alright? Or else forget it? There is still a long way to go!" Wen Ruanruan didn't quite understand Yu Xiangqin's approach, and wrinkled her nose to persuade.

Yu Xiangqin gritted her teeth until she was sore, and gasped for breath while speaking: "It's just a sprain, it's not broken. I can earn five work points a day. I'm fine."

If she has family members who send money and food stamps every month, she is not willing to suffer this!
But she didn't, she had to value every work point.

A little pain today will give you an extra ration next year!

Wen Ruanruan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wen Qingqing's eyes.

They followed to the place where the tree was cut, and waited for the gay man to cut down the tree before working.

Wen Qingqing saw a big rock beside her, and said, "Sister Xiangqin, sit there for a while now, and get up after working."

Yu Xiangqin was really in pain, so she didn't refuse, and limped to sit down.

The Wen sisters settled her down, and went to collect firewood nearby together.They are not strong enough to split firewood, and they follow up the mountain to pick up fallen branches.Yu Xiangqin can earn five work points, and the two of them can only earn three work points each.

Yu Xiangqin sat on a boulder and rubbed her ankles through her cotton trousers.

"Hey, why do you still come up the mountain with your virtue?"

Yu Xiangqin was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw Zhao Zhuangshi leaning against the trunk with a branch in his mouth, and raised his eyebrows when he saw himself looking at him.

Yu Xiangqin rolled her eyes: "What's wrong? You can come, but I can't?"

Zhao Zhuangshi jumped up and down a couple of times, and he was very immature: "My legs and feet are fine, unlike you, I can't walk easily."

Yu Xiangqin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait, if you want me to test your new words in the future, I won't do it!"

"Hey? How can you make a fool of yourself just by saying a few words?" Zhao Zhuangshi hurriedly took out two roasted chestnuts from his pocket and threw them to her when he heard that she didn't care about him, "I'm wrong, right? Teacher Yu Don't be like me."

"Hmph." Yu Xiangqin snorted softly, bit a chestnut and said vaguely, "Forget you admit your mistake... this time I'll forgive you."

Zhao Zhuangshi hid behind the tree and was lazy. He shook his feet and suddenly remembered: "Hey, the sentence that Lin Nianhe owed me as an examinee last time has not yet..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and there was a sudden horrified cry from a distance, mixed with screams and exclamations one after another.

"Hey! Get out of the way over there!"

"Run! Run!"

Yu Xiangqin raised her head subconsciously, and saw a thick tree falling towards her!

It is actually easy to hide from a fallen tree. Experienced people know that as long as they run a few steps to the side, nothing will happen.

There are two prerequisites for easy dodging, one is experience, and the other is the ability to run.

Yu Xiangqin has been in the countryside for many years, and every year he goes to the mountains to log with the villagers. He has experience.But her feet hurt so badly that she had to walk slowly, let alone run?

She squeezed the chestnuts and watched the big tree getting closer and closer to her...

"Fuck, you fucking idiot looking for death!"

Yu Xiangqin could only hear violent scolding voices coming from her ears, and then her body was thrown down by the figure leaping diagonally, and fell into the snowdrift.

"Oh!"

The trees fell to the ground, and Yu Xiangqin's eyes were blinded by the blown snow mist.

Under the tree, the snow was dyed red.
