This is an anti-theft stamp.
Noticing Sun Guixian's venomous and hateful gaze,
Li Xuemei pushed the basket on her back and gestured for her to go to the front to talk.
Sun Guixian glared at Li Xuemei angrily. Just as she was about to scold her, she caught a glimpse of Liu Yufang on the ridge of the field from the corner of her eyes. She gritted her teeth and swallowed her words.
Liu Yunfang relied on the fact that she had many sons.
Her back was stiff.
She was famous for being the kind of person who would scold ten times for every sentence you said. Sun Guixian didn't want to argue with her.
However, she couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to make fun of Xue Huahua.
Her eyes fell on the female educated youth in the field in front of her.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Luo Zhiqing, Luo Zhiqing, didn't you say that Lu Hongying stole something from you? Her mother is here.
If you have anything to say, say it to her mother. "
The female educated youth who was bending over to pull out the seedlings slowly straightened up and put the seedlings into the basket.
She rubbed the mud in her hands and replied loudly, "Auntie,
Hongying said that she didn't take it.
I guess I forgot where I put it.
Let me look for it again. " She had lost a Russian book. Lu Hongying couldn't understand it, so it was useless to bring it back. However, when she thought of the letter in the book, she didn't dare to say anything too definite. After all, the contents of the letter would bring trouble to her family if it reached the city.
Sun Guixian failed to sow discord. She spat on the ground heavily and pointed the spearhead at Xue Huahua, "Huahua, your daughter has dirty hands and feet. She stole something from the educated youth after staying in the house for a few days. I'm not trying to scold you, but work is important, and the children should be taken care of." At the end of her words, she had a distressed expression. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that she was feeling sorry for Xue Huahua.
However, the people around knew that she was trying to embarrass Xue Huahua and sow discord between Xue Huahua and the educated youth.
Xue Huahua didn't fall for it. She stood straight on the path and criticized her with a straight face, "Comrade Sun Guixian, everyone is sweating in the field. You're the only one who can talk, aren't you? Since you're so talkative, I'll leave the marriage of the young men in the village to you. Remember to find an honest man for them. I thank you on their behalf."
Everyone knew how to curse. She used to sweep the streets every day. She scolded those young men who spat gum and threw melon shells a lot. They wouldn't feel ashamed if she didn't curse them. Next time, they would say something. If, they of them, they, they, and they, they would say, "If Me, I, you, you, I, I, I," Huahua, they would say, they, they, they, and, and they. "If, they to say, they, I, I will you. me." Li, I, Su, I, she.
It takes everyone's efforts to keep the city clean and tidy. Whether a city is clean or not, it is not only the streets that are spotless, but also the quality of the citizens.
She dares to curse people who are more powerful than Sun Guixian. What is Sun Guixian in her eyes?
Several villagers in the field around heard this and couldn't help laughing secretly. Everyone could hear Xue Huahua's mockery of Sun Baoqin's fickleness. It had to be said that Xue Huahua was good at cursing people. She hit the nail on the head.
Li Mingxia, who was a little far away, also raised her head. She didn't like Xue Huahua, and she hated Sun Guixian even more. Therefore, she helped Xue Huahua, "Don't count on her. What if she introduces a second Sun Baoqin? Wouldn't it be harmful?"
As the saying goes, three women make a play. The men kept quiet and concentrated on the work at hand. The field was almost dug. Lu Jianguo arranged people to pull out the seedlings. They would start throwing and transplanting the seedlings in the next two days. They would be busy for a whole month. How could they be in the mood to watch the show?
Sun Guixian was so angry that her face turned red. Her son, who was in the field on the other side, was afraid that things would get worse. He reminded her to hurry up and work. Because of the pig, Sun Guixian's work was deducted for a day. If she continued to make trouble, Lu Jianguo would come and deduct her work again. Sun Guixian wanted to curse a little, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn't know what to say. Her heart was full of anger, and she was very depressed.
The pigweed was the most abundant in this season. With the two of them working together, the basket was soon full. Xue Huahua pressed the basket down. Her back was heavy to prevent the pigweed from falling out. She didn't dare to move too much. Gradually, the basket became heavier and heavier. She then suggested to go back to the pig farm and dump it before coming out.
When there were fewer people, Li Xuemei told her about what happened in the educated youth's room.
One of Luo Mengying's books was missing. Her family was well-to-do. Almost every two months, her relatives would send her books. She was willing to share them. Once, Lu Mingwen helped Liang Lanfen with work. When he took care of Lu Hongying, she gave Lu Hongying a mint candy. After that, Lu Hongying often followed her and helped her with the work. Li Xuemei was responsible for taking care of Lu Hongying's meals. They ate and lived together, so they had a good relationship.
After Lu Hongying returned home, Luo Mengying was not used to it. She found another girl to help her with the work. She also took care of her meals, but they didn't live together.
That afternoon, Luo Mengying found that she was missing a book. She asked the other educated youth about it. After a while, she talked about Lu Hongying. Lu Hongying was not convinced, so she went to the educated youth's room to confront them. In the end, no one saw Lu Hongying steal the book, but she was the biggest suspect.
After listening to the whole story, Xue Huahua said without hesitation, "Hongying wouldn't steal. I'll go to the educated youth's room to ask after work." To be honest, she had a good impression of Luo Mengying just now. She must be worried that the book was gone. However, when Sun Guixian vowed to talk about Lu Hongying, she left some leeway in her words. At this time, it was rare for her to remain calm.
The educated youth's room was the brightest and most magnificent adobe house in the village. There were two rows of houses. The windows were big and low, and there was plenty of light. The male educated youth lived on one side, and the female educated youth lived on the other. The female educated youth's room had the curtains drawn. The Huahua's room was green, and it looked very festive. Xue Huahua stood in the yard, and she could tell at a glance which side the female educated youth lived on.
Luo Mengying was still rummaging through the cabinets and cabinets for books. She had brought a large suitcase and a large backpack with her. During this period of time, her family had sent many books and food to her, and the room was full. She had searched everywhere, and all the books were there except for the Russian book.
"In my opinion, it must be Lu Hongying who took it. I told you at that time that the villagers were not clean, but you didn't believe me. Now you regret it."
Xue Huahua was looking at the yard when she suddenly heard this. She shouted, "Luo Zhiqing, is Luo Zhiqing back?"
Suddenly, the room on the right fell silent. After a while, a fair-skinned girl came out. She had two braids and was wearing an army green top. She looked familiar, but Xue Huahua could not remember where she had seen her before. She said, "I'm here for Third Sister. Luo Zhiqing, have you found your book?"
Luo Mengying shook her head honestly. "I haven't found it. Auntie, if you don't come tomorrow, I'll look for it again."
At this moment, another girl came out of the room. She leaned against the door frame and slanted her eyebrows with a look of disdain. "What's there to look for? If it's not Lu Hongying, who else could it be? She's the only one who can enter your room as she pleases."
Luo Mengying nudged her and frowned. "Hongying is not that kind of person. She can't read, so it's useless for her to have a book."
"She can show off. Don't the villagers love to show off? They can't wait to go around with a loudspeaker just to dig two more hoes of fields, let alone the Russian book that your brother put in so much effort to send you. " Liang Lanfen raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with indescribable disdain. Luo Mengying nudged her and said unhappily, "Don't say that. The villagers are quite nice."
Liang Lanfen lowered her head and said something about Xue Huahua, which Luo Mengying did not hear clearly. She looked at Liang Lanfen with a sharp gaze. "What's wrong with digging two more hoes of fields to show off? It's better than someone who deceives honest people to work for him just because he's educated."
Lu Mingwen had helped many female comrades in their work, and Liang Lanfen would definitely be ranked second, followed by Sun Baoqin. As long as one was grateful, they would not kick Lu Hongying when she was down. "My Mingwen's work has raised a bunch of ingrates. As his mother, I have never eaten a single mouthful of food from him. He's so heartless, and he even thinks it's not good enough. If you have the guts, spit it out."
Xue Huahua was good at innuendo. Liang Lanfen's entire face turned red, and she stomped her feet. Her eyes were bulging, and her lips were trembling.
Xue Huahua snorted and did not give her any face. "My Mingwen has never been educated, and he's innocent. You guys are cultured and educated. Don't blame me for not saying the ugly words first. Whoever dares to ask him to work in the future will have to date him. Our village's education level is not high, and unmarried lads only work for their partners."
Liang Lanfen's face turned pale. She pointed at Xue Huahua and could not say a word for a long time.
Xue Huahua could not be bothered with her anymore. She turned to look at Luo Mengying and said in a much gentler tone, "Luo Zhiqing, I raised Hongying. Whether she's good or bad, it's all because of my education. Do you want to tell me what's going on? I'll think of a way." Books in this era were precious, and no matter who they belonged to, she should help them get it back.
The country was getting better and better, and it was all because of their development. If she could do something for them, she would gladly do it.
By now, all the educated youths had returned. Luo Mengying looked hesitant, and Xue Huahua could tell that she was worried. She pointed outside and said, "I'll come over after work. I still have to go back to clean the pigsty. Luo Zhiqing, why don't we go to the pigsty and talk?"
Luo Mengying nodded slightly. She said a few words to Liang Lanfen, locked the door, and walked out of the yard with Xue Huahua.
It was related to the quota of the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers, so she did not dare to say too much in the room of the educated youths.
Xue Huahua and Li Xuemei were not in a hurry. They walked around the pigsty, and then went to the storage room to cut the pigweed with a sickle. Sun Guixian, who was sweating in the field, was so tired that she almost died of anger. They had the same work, but she was so tired, while the others were so relaxed. When Xue Huahua came from a distance with the pigweed, she snorted, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked."
Li Xuemei walked behind Xue Huahua, and the two of them cut from the left and right sides of the pigweed. Hearing Sun Guixian's indirect scolding, she threw the pigweed into Xue Huahua's basket and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, do you know about the room of the educated youths?"
With a gossipy mother-in-law at home, Li Xuemei knew everything in the village. She used to deal with Lu Hongying when she lived in the room of the educated youths. She was a straightforward girl, and she did not look like someone who would steal.
Xue Huahua turned sideways, glanced at the grass on the ridge of the field, and bent down to cut it, "I don't know much. Do you know something? Tell me." Lu Hongying must have been wronged. Although the original owner did not have time to educate the children, the children did not do anything sneaky. There must be some misunderstanding.
Noticing Sun Guixian's resentful and hateful eyes, Li Xuemei pushed the basket on her back and motioned for her to go to the front.
Sun Guixian glared at Li Xuemei angrily. She was about to scold her when she caught a glimpse of Liu Yufang on the ridge of the field. She gritted her teeth and swallowed her words. Liu Yunfang relied on the fact that she had many sons, so she was famous for scolding people ten times. Sun Guixian did not want to argue with her, but she was reluctant to give up the opportunity to make fun of Xue Huahua.
Her eyes fell on the female educated youth in the field in front of her. She thought for a while and shouted, "Luo Zhiqing, Luo Zhiqing, didn't you say that Lu Hongying stole something from you? Her mother is here. If you have anything to say, say it to her. "
The female educated youth who bent down to pull out the seedlings slowly straightened up and put the seedlings into the basket. She rubbed the mud in her hands and replied loudly, "Auntie, Hongying said she didn't take it. I guess she forgot where I put it. Let me look for it again." What she lost was a Russian book. Lu Hongying couldn't understand it, so it was useless to take it … But when she thought of the letter in the book, she didn't dare to say anything too definite. After all, the contents of the letter would bring trouble to her family in the city.
Sun Guixian failed to drive a wedge between them. She spat on the ground and pointed the spearhead at Xue Huahua, "Huahua, your daughter has dirty hands and feet. She stole something from the educated youth after staying in their house for a few days. I don't mean to scold you, but work is important, and the children should be taken care of." At the end of her words, she had a distressed expression. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that she was feeling sorry for Xue Huahua.
But the people around her understood that she was trying to embarrass Xue Huahua and drive a wedge between Xue Huahua and the educated youth.
Xue Huahua didn't fall for it. She stood straight on the path and criticized her with a straight face, "Comrade Sun Guixian, everyone is sweating in the fields. You're the only one who can talk, right? Since you're so talkative, I'll leave the marriage of the young men in our village to you. Remember to find them an honest man. I thank you on their behalf."
Who didn't know how to scold people? She used to sweep the streets every day and scolded those young men who spit gum and throw melon seed shells. If she didn't scold them, they wouldn't feel ashamed. Next time they continued to spit and throw. If she said something nice, they would casually say, "Without us spitting and throwing, you wouldn't have a job." It seemed that throwing rubbish was a noble thing.
Keeping the city clean and tidy depended on everyone's joint efforts. Whether a city was clean or not, it was not only the spotless streets, but also the clean quality of the citizens.
She dared to scold people who were more powerful than Sun Guixian. What was Sun Guixian in her eyes?
When the villagers in the fields heard this, they couldn't help laughing secretly. Everyone could hear Xue Huahua's sarcasm about Sun Baoqin's fickleness. It had to be said that Xue Huahua was good at scolding people and hit the nail on the head.
Li Mingxia, who was a little far away, also raised her head. She didn't like Xue Huahua and hated Sun Guixian even more. Therefore, she helped Xue Huahua to scold her, "Don't count on her. What if she introduces a second Sun Baoqin? Isn't it harmful?"
As the saying goes, three women make a play. The men didn't say anything and concentrated on the work at hand. The field was almost dug. Lu Jianguo arranged people to pull out the seedlings.

After Lu Hongying moved back home, Luo Mengying was not used to it. She found another girl to help her with work. She also took care of Lu Hongying's meals, but they didn't live together.

Suddenly, the room on the right fell silent. After a while, a fair-skinned girl came out. She had two braids and was wearing a military green top. She looked familiar, but Xue Huahua couldn't remember where she had seen her before. She said, "I'm here for Third Sister. Luo Zhiqing, have you found your book?"
Luo Mengying shook her head honestly. "I haven't found it. Auntie, if you don't come tomorrow, I'll look for it again."

"She can show off. Don't the villagers love to show off?

" Liang Lanfen raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were full of disdain. Luo Mengying pushed her and said unhappily, "Don't say that. The villagers are pretty nice."
Liang Lanfen lowered her head and said something about Xue Huahua. Luo Mengying did not hear it clearly and looked at Liang Lanfen with a sharp gaze. "What's wrong with digging two more hoes of fields to show off? At least it's better than someone who deceives honest people to work for him just because he studied for a few years."
Lu Mingwen had helped many female educated youths do their work. If one were to say who he had helped the most, Liang Lanfen would definitely be ranked second, followed by Sun Baoqin. As long as one was grateful, she would not add insult to injury to Lu Hongying. Hence, she said with a straight face, "My Mingwen's work has raised a bunch of ingrates. As his mother, I have never eaten a single mouthful of food from him. He's so heartless that he even thinks it's not good enough. Spit it out if you have the guts."
Xue Huahua was good at innuendo. Liang Lanfen's face turned red and she stomped her feet. Her eyes were bulging and her lips were trembling.
Xue Huahua snorted and did not give her any face at all. "My Mingwen has never studied and is innocent. You guys are cultured and educated. Don't blame me for not saying the ugly words first. Whoever dares to ask him to work in the future will have to date him. Our village's education level is not high, and unmarried lads only work for their partners."
Liang Lanfen's face turned pale. She pointed at Xue Huahua and could not say a word for a long time.
Xue Huahua could not be bothered with her anymore. She turned to look at Luo Mengying and said in a much gentler tone, "Luo Zhiqing, Hongying was raised by me. Whether she is good or bad, it's all because of my education. Do you want to tell me what is going on in detail? I'll think of a way." Books in this era were very precious. No matter who they belonged to, she should help to get them back.
The country was getting better and better because of their development. If she could do something for them, she would gladly do it.
At this moment, all the educated youths had returned. Luo Mengying looked hesitant. Xue Huahua could tell that she was hesitating. She pointed outside and said, "I'll come over after work. I still have to go back to clean the pigsty. Luo Zhiqing, why don't we go to the pigsty to talk?"
Luo Mengying nodded slightly. After saying a few words to Liang Lanfen, she locked the door and walked out of the courtyard with Xue Huahua.
She did not dare to say too much in the educated youths' room because it was related to the quota for the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers.
Xue Huahua patted Lu Mingwen's shoulder and stopped the wheelbarrow beside the cracked wall. "Wait here for a while. I have something to do."
The only money they had at home was used up by Chao Caizhi to give birth to her child. If Lu Mingwen could not pay for the treatment, the doctor would not prescribe medicine. She knew that there were people secretly collecting grain in the dark room next to the cooperative. If it was not for the urgent need of money, they would not come. The supply and marketing cooperative's rice was 24 cents per catty, but they only paid 1.78 cents per catty. It was a difference of six to seven cents. No one would be willing to part with the difference.
Doing business was like speculating. If they were caught, they would be criticized. Those people were risking their lives to make money.
Xue Huahua was very nervous to deal with this kind of people. She bent her back and passed by the cooperative. She saw the salesperson behind the counter staring at her. Her heart was beating fast. She quickly lowered her head and walked to the inconspicuous house. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The door opened. It was a tall, dark-skinned man. He looked around before letting Xue Huahua in. "What do you want to sell?"
Xue Huahua tightened the sack and gently opened it. She said in a hoarse voice, "Rice."
Three catties six two meters, one jiao six one catty, a total of fifty-seven jiao and eighty five jiao.
Xue Huahua frowned and asked softly. "Isn't it 1.85 catty?" Someone in the village came to exchange it. She knew the price.
"The checks are very strict. I can only offer you this price." The man was sure that Xue Huahua would not reject him. "It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not. I'm telling you, the price will drop in a few days. If you don't sell it to me, no one will buy it."
