Zhao Lanxiang didn't miss the disdain in Li Dali's tone,
She knew that the old man's ancestors were landlords,
Life was very difficult in the 60s and 70s,
He probably didn't have any status in the brigade. It was understandable that this masculine and upright captain looked down on the He family.
She declined tactfully, "I won't trouble you –"
Li Dali interrupted her, "In the whole brigade, except for this family, everything else is negotiable. Otherwise, you won't recognize me as the captain. "
There was a stubborn sternness on his dark face,
He probably lectured too many people,
A bit like Zhao Lanxiang's grandfather. At that moment, Zhao Lanxiang actually felt like she was choked.
Li Dali didn't understand how this female educated youth who had just arrived was related to He Songbai.
Who was He Songbai? Wasn't that old second He?
His name was given by the landlord's great-grandfather, who invited a master to name him,
On the day of the full moon, he invited the whole village to a banquet for several days, and they ate until their mouths were full of oil. Everyone's compliments were endless, saying that this child would definitely have great achievements, great prospects, and would definitely bring glory to their ancestors..
However, things didn't go as planned. The revolution came, and the He family was robbed of all their assets. Old second He had never gone to school or read a day's worth of books since he was young,
He idled around all day and didn't do his job. He fought from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. He was a famous gangster in this area,
There was a proud and ruthless aura all over his body. During the time when there was a lot of fighting,
It wasn't that the He family hadn't suffered before. The He family had suffered a lot of trouble one day,
The next day, old second He smashed the heads of the troublemakers with a stone,
That kind of ruthlessness that didn't care for one's life was frightening.
From then on, no one in the whole brigade dared to provoke He Songbai.
The most important thing was that old second He had been arrested last year for committing the crime of being a hooligan and was reformed for a period of time. This was the main reason why Li Dali opposed Zhao Lanxiang.
Sending this soft-tempered and beautiful female educated youth to live in the second liuzi's house,
Wasn't this the same as sending a lamb to the tiger's den? He didn't even struggle when he swallowed it.
Li Dali made a gesture.
"How about this … you pack your luggage tonight.
Stay at my house. I'll fix up a room for you-- "My family is easy to get along with.
Before he could finish his words, the educated girl shook her head and rejected him with a smile.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "The He family is related to me, so my parents will be more at ease if I live there."
She was eloquent and her voice was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate. "He Songbai, born in 57. He had an elder sister and a younger sister. His grandmother, Madam Li, had lived for 24 years and had one son and two daughters. My mom is the daughter of Granny Li's cousin, which is He Er's aunt. "
Zhao Lanxiang lied through her teeth with a straight face.
I'm sorry, Mom, for letting you have a nephew for no reason. I'll help you find an excellent son-in-law someday.
Li Dali suddenly felt a headache. He wanted to see if the female educated youth was lying from her face, but her clear eyes were sparkling and bright, dazzling people's eyes. Now her eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a clear smile in her eyes. It was as if she could see through people's minds.
Li Dali withdrew his gaze in embarrassment.
"That, that's good."
She said that she was a relative, so Li Dali couldn't say anything more. Would he criticize the quality of a relative's thoughts in front of others?
As a result, Zhao Lanxiang successfully tricked her into staying there.
In the afternoon, the educated youths gathered at the temporary educated youth station to play cards and chat. Zhao Lanxiang took out a basket of unfinished meat buns from the woodshed and put them in a cloth bag. Three liang of oil was enough to make twenty buns and a bowl of noodle soup. She, Zhou Jiazhen, and a few other familiar educated youths only ate ten buns.
She carried the buns to the other side of Ox-Horn Mountain. She walked to the edge of the field and found a place to sit down. She opened the cloth bag containing the buns.
The buns that had just been heated in the steamer emitted a tempting aroma. Soon, a pair of feet wearing straw sandals appeared in front of Zhao Lanxiang. She raised her head, and a drooling face appeared in front of her. She looked from a distance, not daring to approach, but also not wanting to leave.
The woman was around twenty years old, but her face was full of wrinkles. Her finger joints were swollen because she was used to hard work.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. She simply silently watched Zhao Lanxiang eat the buns. Zhao Lanxiang finished a steamed bun in front of her. She tore open the white and tender skin of the steamed bun and bit into the tender and lean meat core. She swallowed the steamed bun with a happy and satisfied expression.
The envy in the woman's eyes deepened, but she only watched from a distance. From time to time, she would glance and then lower her head to cut her ox-grass. The huge basket was as big as her, and it was too heavy for her to bear on her thin shoulders.
Zhao Lanxiang's autumn water like almond eyes easily revealed a smile. She pushed the bun forward and held it in front of the woman.
This was He Songbai's eldest sister, He Songye. Zhao Lanxiang didn't say anything. She just made a few hand gestures to her.
Come, eat together.
Meat buns, there are too many. I can't finish them all by myself.
When she made the hand gestures, her back was straight and the corners of her mouth were raised to reveal a smile. Her posture was correct and bright.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished making the hand gestures, He Songzhi's face had an undisguised surprise, but there was also a trace of hesitation.
Zhao Lanxiang continued, "I'm full."
"Bun, fragrant, delicious. Try it. "
He Songye had a high fever when she was young. It affected her hearing and she couldn't hear anything. Gradually, she didn't know how to speak. Her parents passed away one after another. She was the one who raised her younger siblings. It could be said that she was the person He Songbai respected the most.
Zhao Lanxiang and He Songye had been together for many years. Daily communication was no problem at all. After marriage, she discovered that her eldest sister-in-law, He Songye, was actually a foodie. Her life in the past was too hard. She almost never ate anything good. When she grew old, she especially liked to eat, especially meat buns.
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and said patiently, "Why don't you try it?"
She stuffed the bun into He Songye's mouth. He Songye's body trembled. She used her tongue to push against the soft bun skin. Her eyes suddenly moistened.
She bent over and used her rough hand to touch the bun in her mouth. The stabbing hunger in her stomach caused her to mechanically chew her cheeks.
The smooth pork overflowed with delicious juices and flowed into her mouth. A sweet and rich taste seized all her senses. He Songye unknowingly finished eating the bun and felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before in her life. But she wasn't full yet.
In order to save on rations at home, she only brought one black flour bun today. She had done too much work in the morning, so she ate all the buns. In the afternoon, she could only drink some water to fill her stomach.
He Songye unknowingly ate bun after bun. When she finished the bun in her hand, Zhao Lanxiang handed her one.
In the end, Zhao Lanxiang's cloth bag deflated. She smiled and made hand gestures, "Older sister He, can you do me a favor?"
"I want to live in your house."
… …
In the evening, when He Songbai was carrying chicken manure to fertilize the private plot of land at home, he saw his eldest sister come back with a big bag of things. She walked to the front of the house that had been empty for many years and put the things down. Without saying a word, she took out a broom and swept it inside and out. She threw out the chicken coop that was covered in dust, then a dustpan, a hoe, and a plow …
