It had to be said that..,
Liang Lanfen's embarrassed look was really effective on Lu Mingwen,
He couldn't stand to see female comrades having a bitter expression. Back then, Sun Baoqin surrounded him every day and complained that she was tired from working in the fields, she didn't dare to be lazy.
She had to work even when she had a cold and a fever. He couldn't bear to say that he would help her work. Later, when Sun Baoqin was free, she was still troubled. She did all her work by herself,
After a long time..,
Others would scold her for being lazy and not being able to find a husband.
He didn't want Sun Baoqin to be sad, so he begged her parents to agree to the two of them dating. If Sun Baoqin married him, no one would say anything.
He was considerate of Sun Baoqin in every way,
In the end, he ended up being a cuckold. Who in the village didn't laugh at him for being a coward? He couldn't even keep an eye on his wife? They even scolded him for losing all the men in the village,
He secretly swore that he would never be fooled by the appearance of a female comrade again. He would never agree to help anyone,
He accumulated his strength and personal warmth,
He ate his own food and did his own work.
It was a beautiful thought,
But if he really coldly rejected Liang Lanfen,
He couldn't open his mouth no matter what. His face was flushed red. After a long time, he hesitated and reluctantly squeezed out a sentence, "What can I help with?"
He didn't know that his mother had seen his every word and action. Just as he was thinking about what kind of work he could do in the field, he felt a cold wind blowing on his back and his entire body turning cold. He looked up and saw that his mother had returned at some point. She was holding a sickle and looking at him coldly. Lu Mingwen trembled and almost jumped up in fright. He stuttered and shouted, "Why are you back?"
The little bit of luck in his heart disappeared. He hurriedly gave Liang Lanfen a look, signaling her to leave quickly. When his mother got angry, she could easily kill one with a sickle.
Seeing that Liang Lanfen was indifferent, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He threw away the rope in his hand and was about to get up. When he met his mother's fierce eyes, he sat back down guiltily and looked at Xue Huahua in fear. Comrade Liang Lanfen came to look at my feet. Don't think too much. "
He had promised his mother that he wouldn't work for others, and he remembered it. He didn't dare to be as heartless as before.
Compared to Lu Mingwen, who was trembling with fear, Liang Lanfen was much calmer. She looked up at Xue Huahua and said with a superior attitude, "Comrade Lu Mingwen is already an adult. He has his own thoughts and thoughts. What right do you have to interfere with his affairs?" Liang Lanfen disliked Xue Huahua very much. She seemed to be kind and harmless, but in fact, she was full of evil tricks. For example, when Luo Mengying lost her book, all the educated youths unanimously believed that Lu Hongying took it. No one knew what Xue Huahua asked Luo Mengying to go out and say, but after Luo Mengying came back, she didn't even mention the book. The long-haired but short-sighted rural women were very cunning, and they completely fooled Luo Mengying.
Last night, she kindly advised Luo Mengying not to be fooled by Xue Huahua and her mother. The book was valuable, and they should pay for it. However, Luo Mengying pushed the door and entered the room, not even looking at her, as if she was trying to sow discord. Liang Lanfen felt wronged. They were both educated youths, but they didn't help each other. She was so angry that Xue Huahua and Xue Huahua were close.
She didn't know what Xue Huahua said to Luo Mengying to make Luo Mengying avoid talking about the book. She was flesh and blood, and she would never compromise with a rural woman. So, she raised her voice and repeated what she said.
Lu Mingwen was startled by her sudden sharp voice. In his eyes, Liang Lanfen was a delicate and weak cultured person. She was delicate and pretty, and she spoke softly. He was a little frightened when she suddenly raised her voice, especially when she was scolding his mother. Lu Mingwen reacted and quickly pulled her arm. "Comrade Liang Lanfen, she's my mother. It's only natural for her to take care of me. You didn't ask for leave to come here, right? Hurry back to the fields. If the captain finds out, he'll have to deduct your work points."
He didn't feel like Liang Lanfen was speaking up for him at all. In his eyes, it was natural for a mother to take care of her son, and outsiders had nothing to say. He didn't lose his temper at Liang Lanfen, but his disapproval was clearly shown on his face. If his mother didn't take care of him, wouldn't he starve to death? He had to take care of her. After weighing the pros and cons, he said to Xue Huahua in fear and trepidation, "Mom, I'm just going to rub the rope at home. I'm not going anywhere. Don't be angry."
With that said, he picked up the rope on the ground, tightened the loose ground, and started to rub it carefully.
Liang Lanfen was speechless. She was kind enough to help Lu Mingwen get rid of the mountain that was pressing down on him and give him his freedom, but he actually acted like an outsider and didn't care. Liang Lanfen was embarrassed, and her face turned green and red. Seeing that both mother and son were busy ignoring her, she couldn't help but become even angrier. "Comrade Xue Huahua, I'm talking to you. Shouldn't you answer me out of basic courtesy?"
As soon as she said that, a handful of wheat flew towards her and hit her face. Liang Lanfen's cheek hurt, and she glared at Xue Huahua furiously. "What are you doing?"
"I'm hitting you. Are you an educated person? Can't you tell?" Xue Huahua threw the basket on her back, raised her sickle, and walked over slowly. Her voice was so loud that it was deafening. "Who do you think you are? You came to my house and instigated my son to work for you. Why can't I give him to you? So what if I hit you? Even if I slashed you twice, the villagers would still have to applaud me. You're so young, yet you don't work conscientiously. Instead, you're always thinking about taking advantage of others and sowing discord. Who do you think you are? Even Sun Baoqin doesn't dare to do that when she comes back. Do you think you're better than her?"
Sun Baoqin had at least held a banquet with Lu Mingwen. Who did Liang Lanfen think she was? She was standing on her land and still dared to talk big. If she didn't give her a good look, she would really think that she was easy to bully. She even talked about ideas and manners with her. After studying for a few years, she thought that she was a sage. Even her daughter-in-law didn't dare to sow discord between her and her son. Liang Lanfen had eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts to kidnap her son. She had to teach her a good lesson.
There were whiskers on the wheat ears, and Liang Lanfen's entire face was burning. Since young, she had never seen such a shrewd person like Xue Huahua. She would start a fight at the slightest disagreement. She was no different from an evil person. She was furious and wanted to fight with her. However, when she saw the shiny sickle in Xue Huahua's hand, she quickly retracted her hand and roared at Xue Huahua angrily and hatefully. After roaring, she felt even more wronged. She squatted on the ground and hugged her head, crying.
Lu Mingwen: "…" He knew it. Why did she provoke his mother for no reason? Fortunately, she cried in time. Otherwise, his mother's sickle would definitely fall on her face. If a scar was left on her clean face, it would be difficult for her to marry in the future. Thinking of this, he worked even harder. After making a rope and tying a knot, he showed it to Xue Huahua in a flattering manner. "Mom, do you think this one is okay?"
"You have eyes. Can't you see for yourself? Do you think it's okay?"
Lu Mingwen smiled embarrassedly and pulled the whiskers on the rope with his sharp fingers. The more he pulled, the more whiskers there were. He simply untied it bit by bit and started again.
He no longer cared about Liang Lanfen who was crying on the ground.
Xue Huahua waved the sickle, and the sickle made a swishing sound. Seeing Liang Lanfen's body tremble, she put away the sickle with satisfaction and turned to the basket. She poured the wheat in the basket on the eaves and spread them out evenly to dry. Liang Lanfen, who was crying on the ground, slowly raised her head and squinted her eyes. Seeing that the mother and son were doing things as if there was no one else around, not even bothering to say comforting words to her, she stood up, wiped the tears on her face, and left dejectedly.
As soon as she left, Lu Mingwen heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that Liang Lanfen's brain was not working well. He had already given her a look to ask her to leave, but she refused. Now it was all right. She was beaten, scolded, and cried for a while. Now that no one was calling her, she knew to leave. She was the typical type of person who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't get beaten up. What was the point?
Noticing that Xue Huahua was looking at him, he stopped thinking about Liang Lanfen and focused on the work at hand.
He had been rubbing the rope for seven or eight days now, but none of the ropes were up to standard. They were either too thick, too thin, not tight enough, or too prickly, making it seem as if he was not diligent in rubbing them. To be honest, he really did not slack off at home. He rubbed this until his hands were blistered and broken, and he just could not grasp the essentials. Lu Jianxun casually rubbed the rope better than him.
Feeling that he was absent-minded, Xue Huahua threw the basket heavily: "What? Do you want to help Liang Lanfen? If you want to, then leave quickly. Don't come back. "
Lu Mingwen's body trembled, and he shook his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, I just want to know how to make the ropes work." He didn't dare to think about helping others anymore. His mother was waving the sickle, and she could chop him any minute.
"If you can't make the ropes well, then make the wheat ears. Since the weather is good, it's better to harvest the wheat early." After saying this, Xue Huahua patted the basket, and then carried it to the private plot. It snowed last winter, so this year's wheat was especially good. The wheat stalks were deep, and the wheat ears were full. It was definitely a big harvest. She was busy until the sky turned dark, and she didn't finish harvesting the wheat in the private plot. She only went home when she heard the villagers shouting to stop working. When she went to the storage room to return the sickle, she met Liang Lanfen. Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were still traces of tears on her face. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
Liu Yunfang came back with the basket. Seeing that Xue Huahua was looking at Liang Lanfen absent-mindedly, she walked over and whispered in her ear: "Liang Lanfen was found slacking off by the captain, and her work points were deducted for half a day. She was crying alone in the wheat field. Fortunately, your Mingwen didn't see it, or else she would be kidnapped again." Everyone in the village knew that Lu Mingwen often worked for Liang Lanfen. Before he was dating Sun Baoqin, many people wanted to matchmake them.
Xue Huahua snorted coldly: "If Mingwen still dared to work for her, I will break his legs."
Liu Yunfang had a large family, and her son and daughter-in-law were successful. She stayed at home to take care of her grandson, and rarely went out to work. This year's harvest was good, and the production team was too busy, so she went to work. Hearing what Xue Huahua said, she agreed: "You were too boring in the past. Why did your own son have to work for someone else? If it were me, I would have beaten them up long ago." She had saved and lived frugally to raise her son, but before she could enjoy it, the other party kidnapped him with just a few words. It was already merciful of her not to beat them to death.
Liang Lanfen noticed the two of them looking at her. She glared at Xue Huahua, and walked away angrily.
Seeing that, Liu Yunfang was puzzled: "Was she glaring at you? You're still a scholar, but you don't even know the basic rules. No matter what, she has to call you auntie, right? How rude. " Liu Yunfang had never studied before, so she did not know anything. However, it did not stop her from hating scholars. No matter how many books they read, the food they ate was planted by them. So what if they ate the supplied food? If there was not enough food to eat, no matter how rich they were, they would still have to go hungry.
Liang Lanfen's arrogant attitude had angered her. She lowered her head and said many bad things about Liang Lanfen.
"Ignore her. I don't think she will dare to look for my Mingwen in the future." Liang Lanfen was really shameless. She was willing to throw caution to the wind. At most, she would just compete to see who was thicker.
"Oh yes, I heard from Lu Ming's wife that you were the one who carried the pigweed. That won't do. She has to do the work that she has to do. Isn't she pregnant? I'm pregnant with Lu Ming and the rest, so I have to work every day. She's the only one who is pampered. " Speaking of Li Xuemei, Liu Yunfang became more talkative. These days, the whole family had to leave early and return late. Most of the work at home was done by Li Xuemei. As a result, she had to go home, eat at the table, wipe her mouth, and leave. She was not used to it and always felt that something was missing in her heart.
She was embarrassed to ask Li Xuemei not to do it. If Li Xuemei became lazy, it would be Lu Ming who suffered. After thinking about it, she felt that she should talk to Li Xuemei. Her priority was to take good care of her body and give birth to a chubby boy for Lu Ming. The work at home could be done after she came back from work, in case she was too tired and hurt the baby in her belly. She talked to Li Xuemei kindly, but she didn't expect that Li Xuemei didn't appreciate it. She told her that she could take care of the work at home. She also said that she was only responsible for cutting the pigweed and that Xue Huahua did the work of carrying the pigweed and cleaning the pigsty.
She was wondering how Li Xuemei could have endless energy. It turned out that she was lazy outside but diligent at home. That wouldn't do. The pigweed cutting job was given by Lu Jianguo on account of her. If others found out about what Li Xuemei did, they would stir up trouble. If she lost her pig-rearing job, she wouldn't be able to find a more relaxing job. Therefore, she had to let Li Xuemei share more of the work. That way, she wouldn't be the butt of gossip and wouldn't have the energy to take care of the work at home.
Xue Huahua didn't know what Liu Yunfang was thinking. After all, there was no mother-in-law who didn't like their daughter-in-law being diligent. She said sincerely, "She's from the city after all. Her body isn't as strong as ours. After she gives birth, I won't help her with the work, okay?"
At this point, what else could Liu Yunfang say? If she continued to persuade her, she would be going against her daughter-in-law. If something happened to Li Xuemei, they would think that she was evil. She swallowed her words and said with a wry face, "It's been hard on you. When the child is born, I'll let her fill in all the work she missed out on."
The two of them muttered endlessly. Sun Guixian, who was not far away, pricked up her ears and listened. She vaguely heard them say that they were talking about Bao Qin and the educated youth in the city and that she was being scolded as well. She thought about what Lu Jianguo had warned her a few days ago. It was definitely Xue Huahua who had said something. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to go up and slap Xue Huahua on the face and ask her to go around badmouthing her.
She didn't dare to do anything to the pigs, but she had other ways.
The sky gradually turned dark. Sun Guixian hastily ate her dinner and sneaked out of the house with her shoulder pole when no one was looking. There were shadows moving on the path. It was the club members who were carrying the wheat back. Sun Guixian felt guilty and hurriedly hid in the bamboo forest. When the club members were out of sight, she came out with her shoulder pole and sneaked to the back of the pig farm.
There was a manure pit outside the pig farm. The manure in it was fertilizer for the production team's crops. The seedlings in the field would almost be finished in two days. After that, it would be time to fertilize the manure. She had to take this opportunity to steal more manure and pour it into her own manure pit. When the club members who were carrying the manure found that there was less manure in the manure pit in two days, she would take advantage of the situation and blame it on Xue Huahua. She wanted to see how she would defend herself.
There was a reason why she was so sure that the club members would notice that there was less manure. When the sun shone, the manure in the manure pit was dry at the top and drier at the bottom. There were two pits left, so it would be hard not to notice. Moreover, the club members who were carrying the manure were experienced, so they could tell at a glance whether there was less manure or not.
For this reason, she deliberately brought a manure ladle with her. Under the bright moonlight, she stood in the manure pit and bent down to look at it carefully. Finally, she chose the driest part to scoop. The manure was as hard as mud. Her hand slipped and she almost fell into it. It took her a lot of effort to scoop two buckets of manure. It was so heavy on her shoulders that she almost sprained her waist. She gritted her teeth and walked back to her house with trepidation. On the way, she really couldn't walk anymore, so she stopped to take two breaths. The air was filled with the smell of manure, but she felt that it was fragrant.
From afar, the people who came out of the storage room saw her and thought that she had gone to the private plot to harvest the wheat. They thought that they didn't know that Sun Guixian was so hardworking, so they couldn't fall behind her.
Thus, that night, several families worked overnight to harvest the wheat in their private plots.
Sun Guixian thought that her plan was flawless. When she arrived at the manure pit behind her house, she held the bucket and pumped the manure into it. The manure splashed into her own manure pit. She laughed so hard that her body trembled. The corn had grown. She would fertilize it every few days. With these two buckets of manure, this year's corn would definitely grow well.
The bucket and ladle were stained with the manure, and the stench was overwhelming. She cleverly went to the fields to wash them clean before returning home.
However, her body was still stained with the smell. As soon as she entered the house, Old Man Liu smelled it. He frowned in disgust. "It's so dark. Why aren't you sleeping? Where did you go?" Every day, she worked from dawn to dusk. Sun Guixian didn't even have the strength to complain. After eating, she didn't wash her face or feet. Instead, she went to bed and slept. Today, when he returned to his room, he didn't see her. He even asked his son several times, but they all said that they didn't know where Sun Guixian had gone.
At this time, his grandson's cry came from outside. Old Man Liu put on his shoes and walked out. He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, Erbao said that there was something in the latrine pit. It kept making a lot of noise. He was scared when he took a dump."
Sun Guixian: "…"
It was all her fault for being careless. She should have asked if there was anyone in the latrine when she took the dump. Fortunately, it was her grandson. If it was an old man, she would have been exposed. Seeing that Old Man Liu was going to the back of the house to see what was going on, she hurriedly reached out to stop him. "Erbao is probably dozing off after taking a dump. We still have work tomorrow. Aren't you tired?
You're not tired, but I am. I'm going to sleep first. "It was a heavy load of manure. Her shoulders were sore and painful. Without waiting for Old Man Liu to respond, she pulled him into the house. Then, she asked her son and grandson to hurry back to their rooms to sleep.
Old Man Liu was so tired that he didn't have much strength. He leaned on her and went to bed. He even forgot to ask where the smell of manure on her body came from. As soon as his head touched the bed, he slept like a pig, snoring loudly. Sun Guixian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She had done something big, so she was both nervous and excited. The incident of stealing feces had also happened in the village last year, but the culprit was not found, so it was left unsettled. Thinking of Xue Huahua being unable to explain herself and having her work points deducted, she giggled. Her laughter was demonic and startled Erbao, who was next door, causing him to cry loudly. Hearing the sound of crying, Sun Guixian hurriedly covered her mouth and continued to giggle.
Xue Huahua was in charge of pigs and pigweed. She had never taken care of the manure pit outside the pig farm, so she never thought about it. The pigweed in the ditch was lush. For two consecutive days, she and Li Xuemei got off work early. Xue Huahua cut the ears of wheat from her private plot and went to the field to cut the stalks. Many people were jealous of her. Raising pigs is so easy. After work, they still have time to work in their own fields. Some women became excited and asked Lu Jianguo to take turns raising pigs.
Lu Jianguo was so busy that his feet never left the ground. There was a lot of wheat piled up in the yard outside the storage room. He had to instruct the members to threshing and arrange people to carry manure to fertilize the seedlings. He had no time to arrange the pig farm. He went to the pig farm to have a look. In previous years, the pigs looked thin at this time of the year, but this year, not only did they not lose weight, but they also gained a lot of weight. He had discussed with the vice-captain and decided to raise two more pigs next year and let Xue Huahua take care of them. He didn't care about what others said. When he was annoyed, he directly roared at them and scared them so much that they didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Jianguo was the captain of the production team. In the eyes of the villagers, he was a high-ranking official. If they offended him, what would they do if they were assigned a tiring job with low work points next year? Therefore, no matter how much they envied Xue Huahua, they didn't dare to talk to Lu Jianguo about cutting the pigweed. With Lu Jianguo as a shield, no one dared to question Xue Huahua's pig farming.
Thinking of the scene of Lu Jianguo scolding people, Lu Jianguun admired him from the bottom of his heart. Those few female comrades were scolded badly and two of them even started to cry.
Even so, Lu Jianguo didn't back down. He scolded them for more than ten minutes before he sent them to work. Lu Jianguo was too good at scolding. He didn't even repeat his words.
"Mum, no one dares to look for trouble with you in the future. The team leader and deputy team leader had said that you and sister-in-law Xuemei will be in charge of the pig farm. If anyone dares to do anything bad to you, their work points will be deducted." Lu Jianguun skillfully rubbed the ears of wheat and said excitedly. Lu Jianguo was from the same family and had never opened the back door for them. Not only that, Lu Dewen's work points were deducted mercilessly. It was really puzzling why he helped Xue Huahua this time.
Xue Huahua didn't show any emotions on her face. She looked at Dong Xuebing. "You don't want to work anymore?"
Lu Jianguun shook his head. His legs were almost healed. He went to the mountains to collect firewood in the morning and rubbed the ears of wheat at home in the afternoon. He was too proud and forgot about his work. He ran to Lu Mingwen and rubbed the ears of wheat with him. "Mum, I heard from Uncle Jian She that someone had stolen the manure from the manure pit."
He had no interest in chatting with the male comrades in the village. Unlike the female comrades who only talked about small things, the male comrades loved to talk about which field's crops were better than last year's, which field's soil was hard and difficult to dig, or which young man was dependable and would be able to carry manure in two years.
Wait, wait, wait. It was not interesting at all.
If Xue Huahua had not been working at the pig farm, he would not have paid attention to what they were saying. F * ck, there were so many people fighting for the job. As long as it was related to the pig farm, he would pay more attention. When Jian She's Uncle mentioned that there was less manure around the manure pit, Dong Xuebing went up to ask about it.
Everyone knew that the fertilizer that was used to irrigate the seedling fields was used to fertilize the corn fields. Every household planted corn on their private plots of land. With some water mixed with the manure, the private plots of land would be enough to use.
Dong Xuebing was afraid that they would blame Xue Huahua and followed them to look for Lu Jianguo. He saw Lu Jianguo scolding someone. Uncle Jian She said that the manure was stolen, and Lu Jianguo did not suspect Xue Huahua. He asked them to carry the manure to irrigate the rice seedling fields first.
Dong Xuebing felt that he could not hear anything, so he came back.
Xue Huahua was upright and was not afraid of people suspecting her. "So be it. The captain will find a way to find the culprit. You just have to behave yourself and stay put."
Every production team had cases of manure theft, and it was not rare. Xue Huahua's job was to raise pigs. As long as the pigs were not stolen, everything would be fine.
Therefore, no one thought about who stole the manure.
In fact, except for those who carried the manure, not many people cared about this matter. The wheat field was hot, and people were sweating profusely. They did not even have the time to drink water, so they did not have the energy to care about other things. Not to mention that there was less manure, they only knew that there were fewer children at home at night.
Dong Xuebing thought that there would be an uproar, but nothing happened. Sun Guixian was anxious. She was in charge of tying the wheat straws. She saw the Captain's wife was harvesting the wheat, and she walked over. "Captain cares about the manure a lot. In the past, he would send people to guard the manure. This year, the manure was stolen, why didn't he care? "
This result was out of her expectation. She remembered that something similar happened last year. Lu Jianguo did not catch the culprit, so he stood at the pig farm and cursed for the whole day. He wanted to cut the culprit into pieces and eat him alive. This year, even she knew who the 'thief' was. Why didn't he do anything?
The Captain's wife grabbed the wheat straw with her left hand and waved the sickle with her right hand. She pulled hard, and the wheat straw fell to the ground. She took a few steps forward and said to Sun Guixian. "I'm not sure. He always has his own rules. I guess he doesn't have the time."
Sun Guixian did not believe this. Wasn't it the same time last year? Lu Jianguo still cursed, and his voice was almost broken. If it were not for his father's advice, he might have continued cursing the next day. The amount of manure was related to the harvest. As the Captain, Lu Jianguo would definitely not sit by and do nothing.
This matter was not right.
She returned to her position and listlessly picked up the wheat straw and tied it up slowly. No matter how she thought about it, she still felt uneasy. No, she had to ask the person who carried the manure. She threw away the straw tied around her waist and rushed to the rice field.
On the ridge of the field, the fattening men scooped up a ladle of manure water and sprinkled it on the field. She looked around and called out to the construction brothers as they walked up the ridge.
Jian She and Lu Jianguo were cousins. He carried the manure every year. Sun Guixian jogged over and panted. "Brother Jian She, where's the Captain? I heard that the manure pit was stolen. What happened?"
She looked anxious and seemed even more worried than Lu Jianguo. Jian She was not used to this and had goosebumps all over his body. "Why are you so concerned?" Those who did not know would think that she was the Captain. She had never been so proactive before.
Sun Guixian was stunned. She straightened her neck and said, "I'm just worried that there's not enough manure. I have less work points this year than last year. I'm not confident. " She was afraid that she would give herself away, so she added fiercely, "God d * mn it. Which son of a b * tch would be so heartless as to steal manure?"
Jian She trembled when he heard that. He lowered his head and scooped up the manure. "If you work hard, you won't starve to death. Hurry up and go back. If Jianguo finds out that you're not here, he'll deduct your work points again."
He had drunk with Old Man Liu at the same table. Old Man Liu had a bitter look on his face when he talked about his wife. When they were young, their wives were disobedient and liked to hit them. It was common for the couple to fight. There was a huge difference in strength between men and women. Most of the time, the man had the upper hand. Old Man Liu and Sun Guixian were different. Old Man Liu had never won a fight with Sun Guixian. As a result, he had been trampled on by her for many years.
For example, when Sun Guixian was lazy and caused a pig to get sick, everyone would have taught her a lesson. Old Man Liu only scolded her because he could not win.
Jian She did not want to talk to Sun Guixian anymore. He sprinkled the manure into the seedlings and left with the empty bucket. No matter how Sun Guixian shouted at him, he pretended that he did not hear anything.
Sun Guixian did not hear any useful information from Jian She. She did not believe it and rushed to find Lu Jianguo. There was no wheat field, no seedling field, and no home. She was anxious. Lu Jianguo must have fainted from anger. She wiped the sweat off her face and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Lu Jianguo, Lu Jianguo, Lu Jianguo …"
Her voice was sharp and full of energy, scaring the children who were playing hide-and-seek in the bamboo forest into running away. Some of the younger children thought of Liu Erbao's story about his family's latrine being haunted and instantly burst into tears.
Sun Guixian continued to shout, "Where is Lu Jianguo, where is Lu Jianguo …"
Gradually, the children could tell that it was a human voice, and the crying stopped abruptly. The older children shouted at the top of their lungs, "Captain is at the pig farm …"
Hearing that Lu Jianguo was at the pig farm, Sun Guixian was delighted. She shook her wrinkled clothes and ran to the pig farm with her head held high. She had to give up on Xue Huahua before Lu Jianguo scolded the heavens and earth, lest her parents crawl out of their coffins from Lu Jianguo's scolding.
However, contrary to her expectations, Lu Jianguo was standing outside the pigpen with a ruddy face. He was holding the pigweed in his hands and the four pigs were sticking their noses out, eating happily.
She stopped in her tracks. It was different from what she had expected. She thought that Lu Jianguo was gulping down water and was ready to shout at the top of his lungs.
Wasn't Lu Jianguo a little too calm?
She licked her dry lips and shouted, "Captain, I heard that someone stole the feces from the cesspool." To be on the safe side, she didn't dare to tell him about Xue Huahua. She had to figure out Lu Jianguo's thoughts first.
The pigweed in his hands was gone. Lu Jianguo grabbed a handful of it from the basket and stepped on the pig trough. He slowly scattered it down. Hearing the noise, he turned around and looked. "Oh, it's you. Why are you here instead of working in the fields?"
After asking the question, he lowered his head and continued to focus on feeding the pigs.
Sun Guixian was stunned. Luckily, she already had an excuse. She repeated what she had said to Jian She. Lu Jianguo didn't even raise his head. "You did it yourself. Oh right, didn't I tell you not to come to the pigpen if you have nothing to do? Did you turn a deaf ear to me?"
"No." Sun Guixian had an idea. "What does Captain want to do about the stolen feces?"
This time, Lu Jianguo raised his head. His wrinkled eyes stared straight at Sun Guixian. Sun Guixian got goosebumps from his stare. She smiled and explained, "I'm just worried that the crops won't grow well and we won't get enough food. Get to work, I'll go work now … "
After busying herself for a while, Sun Guixian didn't get anything out of him. In the evening, she met Xue Huahua again after work. She couldn't help but want to tease her. However, she heard Liu Yunfang say, "Huahua, you're really capable. Not only did you raise the pigs to be fat, the manure pit is also full of feces. Didn't you see the smile on Lu Jianguo's face? There's finally a source of feces for the crops this year. "
Sun Guixian was about to vomit. No wonder Lu Jianguo scolded the person who stole feces. It turned out that he wasn't afraid of stealing feces. Sun Guixian had never picked feces before, so she naturally didn't know what the manure pit was like in previous years. She took the risk to steal feces to frame Xue Huahua, but no one took the blame.
Didn't her plan go down the drain? Sun Guixian hit someone.
The reason why Lu Jianguo didn't fly into a rage was probably unexpected by many. Xue Huahua cleaned the pigsty every day and washed it with water. When the water flowed into the manure pit, it naturally became feces. Moreover, the four pigs ate a lot and excreted a lot. After a while, the manure pit was full.
Since then, who dared to say that Xue Huahua's work was easy? Everyone just didn't see that she was secretly working hard behind the scenes. Now that the manure pit was full, everyone saw it with their own eyes. Who could guarantee that they could do it better than Xue Huahua?
Not only Lu Jianguo, but many people were also impressed by Xue Huahua. In the past, they only thought that she was diligent because she worked in the fields every day without rest. Now they know that Xue Huahua was also good at raising pigs. This year's wheat harvest was good. If the fertilizer in the fields could keep up, there would be a bumper harvest in autumn. If that really happened, Xue Huahua would have made a great contribution.
Perhaps Sun Guixian didn't expect that she would make a fool of herself. If she didn't steal feces, the people who picked up the feces might not find out that there was more feces than in previous years. Even if they found out, they would at most talk about it. Unlike now, the whole production team knew that Xue Huahua was good at raising pigs and there was no shortage of fertilizer in the crops.
The news spread like wildfire, and the captains and vice-captains of the neighboring production teams all went to the pig farm to learn from the experience. Compared to the pigs in their team, these four pigs were much fatter. There were still a few months until the New Year. How many pounds would they gain? They were excited. They had raised pigs for several years, but it was the first time they saw such fat pigs. They knew that Xue Huahua and Li Xuemei didn't work in the fields and raising pigs was also considered as work credit. They decided to follow their example. As soon as they returned to the village, they called for a meeting and selected two experienced female comrades to raise pigs. They made sure that the pigs were fat and strong so that they could get a big fat piece of meat during the New Year.
Everyone was talking about the pig farm and praising Xue Huahua's ability. For a while, Xue Huahua became one of the most famous people in the production team. The villagers of other production teams all knew that there was a member in their village who knew how to raise pigs. Her name was Xue Huahua.
Sun Guixian was so sad that her intestines turned green. If she knew that things would turn out like this, she would never steal manure.
No one knew that Sun Guixian was upset and regretful. Xue Huahua's life didn't change much. She cut the pigweed, cleaned the pigsty, and supervised her son to work. Her days were ordinary. If there was something different, it would be that more people greeted her when she walked on the road. Whether it was in the village or outside, there seemed to be a lot of people who knew her.
Now that Xue Huahua was famous, Lu Dewen and his brothers were proud of her. They were even more diligent and worked as if they were on steroids. They worked from morning till noon without panting.
After the wheat was harvested, the next step was to dig the ground to plant the sweet potatoes and fertilize the corn seedlings. Estimating that there was enough manure, Lu Jianguo selected a few young people to carry the manure. Lu Dewen performed well and was also one of them. Different from the initial rejection of carrying manure, he was very happy this time.
As long as he worked hard, next year, his family would also become a working family in the village. They wouldn't lack food and could eat their fill every day.
Xue Huahua was worried that he would harm the public's manure, so she asked him to carry some manure from his own manure pit to fertilize the corn seedlings. She and Chao Caizhi first went to the private plot to weed.
Planting sweet potatoes and fertilizing were not in a hurry, so there was no need for everyone to participate. Some female comrades didn't go and only cared about the crops in the private plot.
Therefore, at this time, there were still a lot of people in the field. Almost all of them were weeding and fertilizing. Xue Huahua was also one of them. The work on the private plot was not counted. Everyone was chatting as they worked. At their age, they loved to talk about which family's son and daughter were dating, which family's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and so on.
Xue Huahua listened attentively and rarely interrupted. She often came to the private plot and the weeds were not deep. In a short while, the two of them pulled out all the weeds. Looking up at the field, Lu Dewen was carrying manure and walking unsteadily. This caused the other people in the field to laugh at him. "Dewen, can you go to the pig farm to carry manure like this tomorrow?"
His legs were trembling as he walked. He might not know how to carry manure.
Lu Dewen lifted his collar and wiped the sweat on his face. He walked very carefully. "Uncle, my mom asked me to practice. I'll be familiar with it after I carry manure a few times."
This was the first time Lu Jianguo put him in an important position. How could he back out? Not only would it be embarrassing, but it would also be embarrassing. He turned his body sideways and slowly moved towards the private plot.
Xue Huahua frowned. "Boss, are you here to rush for dinner? Walk faster. You can walk like you usually do. "
With Lu Dewen's speed, he would have to go back and forth a few times to carry manure tomorrow.
Lu Dewen straightened his back. His hands tightly gripped the ropes on both sides of the pole. He did not dare to let go. He was afraid that he would accidentally spill manure on other people's fields and benefit their crops.
He walked with full concentration. Just as he passed by a fork, he heard an angry shout from the side. "D * mn it. Which idiot threw a stone into my latrine pit and killed my corn seedlings?"
Lu Dewen's hands trembled and he almost threw the pole away. Beside him, Sun Guixian's voice was deafening. "If you have a grudge against me, come at me. Why are you venting your anger on my crops? I worked so hard to plant the corn seedlings. It was not easy for them to grow so tall, but they were all killed by a stone."
Lu Dewen gently put down the bucket and followed Sun Guixian's line of sight to the field. Two steps away from him, a pile of black stuff had smashed the corn seedlings. It was not as serious as Sun Guixian said. If he kicked the thing away, the seedlings would be straightened. It would not die.
But he would not be stupid enough to remind Sun Guixian. He still remembered the bad things she said about his family. He took two breaths and put the pole on his shoulder. He strung the rope on the bucket and continued walking.
Before he could take two steps, the rope was pulled by someone from the side. The bucket moved forward and the manure inside spilled out. Some of it splashed on Lu Dewen's pants. He looked at Sun Guixian unhappily and roared, "Are you crazy?"
Damn it. You should speak boldly if you did not do anything wrong.
"Did you throw it? I can definitely feel the stone in the manure ladle. It was fine just now, but the corn seedlings were smashed to death when you came. It must be you."
What a f * cking troublemaker. Lu Dewen could not help but want to curse.
He was walking properly on the road. Who cared if she was fertilizing or what? It had nothing to do with him. He was afraid that he would spill all the manure, so he put down the bucket and called Chao Caizhi over to help carry the manure bucket away.
Sun Guixian wasn't afraid that he wouldn't admit to it. She picked up the stone from the ground and was about to confront Lu Dewen. Unexpectedly, he easily picked it up in his hand. When the stone was removed, the corn seedling immediately returned to its normal state, and its posture was straight up.
Sun Guixian was speechless.
The people watching from the field could not help but burst into laughter. They blamed Sun Guixian for causing trouble. Lu Dewen was carrying the manure and did not dare to speak carelessly. How could he have the time to harm her crops?
Sun Guixian looked embarrassed. She casually threw the stone in her hand and it landed on the ground. The woman in the field scolded, "Sun Guixian, you threw the stone that you don't want. What if it hits my corn seedlings? Pick it up and take it back."
Sun Guixian knew that she was in the wrong. She walked over and picked up the stone again. Seeing that Xue Huahua was staring at the thing in her hand, Sun Guixian threw it to her. "Do you want it? If you want it, I'll give it to you." As she said that, she bent her arm and threw it with force. It landed on Xue Huahua's private plot.
If Sun Guixian was surprised when she held it in her hand so easily, she could almost confirm that it was not a stone but a book when she saw the black thing clearly.
