Now is the time to cut off the sweet potato vines so that the sweet potatoes can grow bigger.
In the production team, the members were required to be responsible for acquiring a piece of land and cut off the sweet potato vines in their respective plots of land within a time limit.
It is then sent to the large pond in the breeding room and stored for future use as green fodder for pigs.
[Before digging the sweet potatoes, cut off the sweet potato vines. At that time, everyone thought that the sweet potato vines would take away the nutrients of the sweet potatoes.
This was a common practice in rural areas in the past. As for whether it has any effect, only the devil knows.]
Qiu Guiying, that silly girl, was sitting on the stone next to her, looking foolishly into the distance.
No one knew what she was thinking, and no one knew what she was laughing about.
Of course ordinary people don’t understand the world of fools.
Not far from Qiu Guiying, there was a dry old man who was also pretending to cut sweet potato vines.
But his mind was obviously not on the ground, but on that silly girl Qiu Guiying.
The little old man's eyeballs are already hanging under Qiu Guiying's silly girl's chin, and he can't pull them out...
"Mom, let's put on our clothes."
Qiu Guiying wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked to her mother.
When she arrived at the big rock, Qiu Guiying was obviously wary of something. She casually inserted the sharp sickle within easy reach.
"Mom, let's put it on, ah, mom is the best! Be good."
I saw Qiu Guiying picking up her mother's colorful dress from the stone and trying to help her put it on.
Qiu Guiying is not very old.
Her mother was very young when she gave birth to her. In fact, Qiu Guiying's mother is still just a young woman in her early 30s.
Qiu Guiying was already very beautiful, so naturally her mother's facial features wouldn't be too bad either.
However, rural women have a hard life and the farm work is heavy.
So Qiu Guiying's silly girl looks older than her actual age.
If her mind could return to normal, she could dress up properly and rest for a while, Qiu Guiying's stupid girl would actually be considered a very beautiful woman.
"Keke, I don't want to wear it!"
Qiu Guiying's mother giggled and squirmed to the side, "When we are dressed, he will also..."
He is so strong! If I forcefully pull... Wuwu, he will tear my clothes to pieces... Wuwu, I don't have any other clothes, so I won't wear them! I'm afraid they will tear..."
Qiu Guiying's nose felt sore and she said softly, "Mom, we are not afraid, you are here with me! Come on, let's wear colorful clothes. My mother, you are beautiful when you wear colorful clothes."
"I won't wear it!"
Qiu Guiying's mother suddenly lay down on the big rock, with her back splayed, so Qiu Guiying could not put the clothes on her body, "You are still young, let that bad guy beat your mother, you can't let him bully you."
The silly girl started to act up and kept rolling on the rocks.
No matter how much Qiu Guiying tried to persuade and coax, it was of no avail.
"Hey, Guiying, just forget it if she doesn't wear it!"
The skinny old man's name was Cao Zigao. He laughed evilly a few times and said, "There are no outsiders here. It's cooler if you don't wear clothes... and you can save fabrics."
Qiu Guiying glared at him fiercely, but as a newbie and weak in power, she did not dare to provoke this person.
Before Cao Zigao, he was famous in Xiao Laojun's area, the kind of bad old man who "liked to coax little things with candy".
It's just that it used to be an old society, and Guo Jun never dared to establish an effective grassroots organization in the Xiao Laojun area.
That is to say,
In the old society, the area around Xiaolaojun was a place without organization, discipline, and law!
This Cao Zi didn't have the ability to stand out, but he had an extremely beautiful wife in his family.
In the old society.
Xiao Laojun's bandit leader would often come to Cao Zigao's house and call him brother.
Whenever the bandit leader came to Cao Zigao's house, he would be rewarded with a jar of wine and a piece of braised meat.
And Cao Zigao, who was very sensible, often did not need the bandit leader's orders at this time. He would obediently carry the wine and sit at the door of his yard to drink it himself.
The scenery in the distance is good, and the scenery in the house behind is beautiful.
In this way, Cao Zigao relied on his friendship with the bandit leader. In the old society, no one dared to provoke him.
Wait until our army comes to wipe out the Xiaolaojun bandits.
The bandit leader knew that something was wrong, so he kidnapped Cao Zigao's wife in advance and took her to the bandits' den.
As for when he snatched Cao Zigao's wife back, did he use it for himself or to reward his brothers?
This is unknown.
In short, in the end, Cao Zigao's beautiful wife died inexplicably in the bandits' den...
And after the new era.
Because Cao Zigao had such a tragic past, he became a living teaching material for accusing bandits of atrocities.
This gave him an extra layer of protection.
In addition, after entering the new society, Cao Zigao may not be as frustrated as living in the old society, and he has become more honest.
As a result, this bad old man has not received the punishment he deserves.
Qiu Guiying used her body to cover her silly mother, then held up the clothes to coax her to put them on, "Mom, put your clothes on, we will work for a while, then go home and cook."
Cao Zigao dropped the sweet potato vine in his hand and walked over with a smile, "Guiying, where did that man of yours go today? How about we eat together at noon so that we don't have to cook for just three people?"
2 meals a day.”
Qiu Guiying turned a deaf ear to his words and just kept moving her body, trying to cover her silly girl as much as possible.
Facing this bad old man, Qiu Guiying was helpless:
I had just moved to Xiao Laojun's production team, so I had no friends and no one to rely on.
Although Bu Yaoming, the captain of Xiaolaojun's production team, is an honest man and enthusiastic about helping others.
But how could Qiu Guiying say that Cao Zigao came to bully his stupid wife?
What's more, she couldn't produce any real evidence.
During this period, there were no laboratory or testing equipment in Hongxing Township. It was impossible to obtain real evidence of Cao Zigao with just a pair of shorts.
And more importantly, Qiu Guiying was very worried: If she reported it to the cadres at the brigade headquarters, she would be afraid that the other cadres would think she would cause trouble to them.
Qiu Guiying was afraid that others would blame her: Look at you! You are a attractor, and you have caused so much trouble for our production team as soon as you arrive!
Qiu Guiying, who had no way out, could not muster the courage to go to the cadres for their protection.
Just as Qiu Guiying was in a dilemma, trying her best to stop Cao Zhigao's harassment.
Luo Xuan's voice sounded from the side: "Take your mother first and go to the woods to avoid it."
When Qiu Guiying heard this voice, she was like a child hearing the cry of a relative!
"Luo Xuan? Is that you? Why are you here?!"
Tears swirled in Qiu Guiying's eyes, and her lips twitched a few times, but she still didn't cry out, "I, Luo Xuan, you..."
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "Take your mother with you, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Guiying opened her arms to hug her silly girl, pushing and pulling her towards the small woods on the side of the slope.
Watching Qiu Guiying walk away.
Luo Xuan reached out and pulled Cao Zigao, who was standing aside and looking at him with a sinister look on his face, "I heard that you are very capable?"
"What can you do?"
Cao Zigao was stunned, "What do you mean by that? Hey, which production team are you from? What are you doing in our Xiao Laojun production team? Do you have a way out?!"
Luo Xuan did not answer his question, but looked down at Cao Zigao's instep and said, "Uncle, your pants have fallen off."
When Cao Zigao heard this, he lowered his head subconsciously...
By the way, the collar on his back was exposed.
Luo Xuan raised his hand and gently raised it towards his collar...
"ah--"
He was originally lowering his head, planning to tighten his belt, but saw Cao Zigao, who had a tight belt,
At this time, a scream that did not sound like a human voice suddenly came out of his mouth!
I saw him jumping three feet high, his legs kept jumping, and his hands were trying their best to turn around, as if they wanted to grab something on his back.
"Hey, uncle, your way of greeting is really unique! You don't need to be so enthusiastic, do you?"
Luo Xuan laughed and stretched out her hand, pressed his shoulders hard and said, "Uncle, why are you so excited when you see me for the first time? We are not big shots, so we really don't need to be so polite."
Cao Zigao howled and screamed, trying his best to lie down on the ground, trying to roll around to relieve the huge pain in his body!
It hurts!
It was a heart-breaking pain that pierced right into the bone marrow, with a burning pain!
Cao Zigao wanted to roll around, but Luo Xuan's hand seemed to be casually placed on his shoulder.
In fact, it was holding his Jianjing point tightly, making Cao Zigao want to jump up, but was pushed down by Luo Xuan again.
He wanted to lie down, but was lifted up by Luo Xuan, "Uncle, the ground is so dirty, it's better not to sleep on the ground."
"ah--"
"It hurts me so much——"
"Help, help!"
A heavy cold sweat broke out from the ravines on Cao Zigao's wrinkled face!
He was shaking all over and his face turned pale.
The body was like a severed half of an earthworm, twisting violently...
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Oh, what's on your back? Oh...it seems to be a scorpion. Why are you so careless!"
Luo Xuan sighed, stretched out his hand through Cao Zigao's clothes, and slapped the scorpion that got into his back to death. "It's really strange. Where did this thing come from? Could it be that scorpions still fall from the sky?"
"Ah...it hurts me so much! Bai, the blue sky in the day, where, where did the scorpion come from, the scorpion? It's so unlucky..."
"Uh-"
Cao Zigao rolled his eyes, bent his legs, and passed out in a weird posture of half squatting and half standing...
~~~~~
Cao Zigao fainted.
Qiu Guiying was panicking, fearing that she would get into trouble.
In addition, his mother started to go crazy again, so Qiu Guiying could only pack her things and prepare to coax the silly mother home and make lunch for herself and her "future silly husband".
"Luo Xuan, come to my house for a drink of water."
Qiu Guiying supported her stupid mother and said to Luo Xuan, "Kiss or not, I'm from my hometown. You finally came to my place, why don't you go to my house to rest?"
She finally said this sentence in a question tone.
Of course Luo Xuan could hear it: Qiu Guiying just said it casually.
In fact, her sincerity in truly inviting herself to her home was about the same as the hair on Cao Zigao's head who had fainted on the ground...it was very sparse.
"OK."
Unexpectedly, Luo Xuan agreed wholeheartedly, "Let's go find a door so that we can come to your house to borrow some vinegar, some salt, and so on."
Seeing Luo Xuan say this, Qiu Guiying had no choice but to help her silly girl up and take Luo Xuan home.
Qiu Guiying's family can't actually be regarded as a "family".
She just built two simple shelters with bamboo poles and thatch next to the house of her future husband, the village guard "Huowa".
This is also forced out of poverty and is a workaround done out of necessity.
Because Qiu Guiying is far from the age of marriage now.
She was afraid that she would miss out on this marriage that would allow her mother to have enough to eat.
As a last resort,
Qiu Guiying then chose to build two simple thatched huts next to Huo Wa's house.
In this way, the relationship between her and Huo Wa was like that: they were engaged, but they had not yet lived together.
In this way, other girls will no longer be able to propose marriage to Huo Wa.
Seeing that Qiu Guiying's home was even worse than many people's doghouses, Luo Xuan understood the reason why she was reluctant to invite him as a guest.
Coupled with Qiu Guiying's "future husband", it is such a situation.
She is a young and handsome guy, so she also has to avoid Qiu Guiying's suspicion.
Faced with Qiu Guiying's various predicaments, Luo Xuan also felt deeply powerless.
Because I know that in the first half of the year or so, life outside the mountains will become even more difficult.
Like Qiu Guiying, her family could only have half-full food all year round. If things didn't change, Qiu Guiying's family would definitely not be able to survive those three difficult years.
now,
Qiu Guiying moved to the mountains, although her life was indeed very miserable and miserable.
But at least, she can survive...
In the face of survival, what do other things count?
"Luo Xuan, I don't have anything at home, so just drink some water."
Qiu Guiying used a water ladle made from a bamboo tube to scoop out a ladle of cold water and handed it to Luo Xuan. He said with worry, "That Cao Zigao, did he really accidentally encounter a scorpion and fall on his back?"
Luo Xuan took the water ladle, took a symbolic sip and said, "Of course it is, otherwise where did that scorpion come from?"
"I...I'm afraid that he will go to the brigade headquarters and sue you, saying that you threw the scorpion on his back."
Qiu Guiying said, "Otherwise, you should leave quickly. Go back to school. The old principal, Teacher Yuan and others will protect you. I believe the cadres of the brigade will not make things difficult for you."
Luo Xuan chuckled and said, "Tell him to sue! Who has nothing to do all day long and walks around with a scorpion on his body? Look at me, I'm empty-handed, where can I get a scorpion?"
What happened today when Cao Zigao was stung by a scorpion was really weird!
No matter what Qiu Guiying thought, she couldn't understand: How could a scorpion, which was originally a nocturnal creature, get into Cao Zigao's back in broad daylight?
and.
What a coincidence, the scorpion didn't appear sooner or later.
As soon as Luo Xuan comes, the scorpion comes out...
But it could be said that Luo Xuan was causing trouble. Luo Xuan came here empty-handed. Qiu Guiying could see clearly that when Luo Xuan went to the hillside, he didn't take anything in his hand.
Then where did the scorpion come from on him?
This left Qiu Guiying puzzled.
Since he couldn't figure out why Cao Zigao was stung by a scorpion, Qiu Guiying could only put this matter aside for the time being.
Then she said to Luo Xuan with great worry: "That person suffered a loss today. I'm afraid that in two days, he will get worse and bully my mother and me. Alas... I really don't know when I meet such a person.
What to do..."
"Fuck you!"
Luo Xuan cursed, "It's really troublesome to meet such a bad old man! There's really no good way to deal with it."
Qiu Guiying was harassed, and it was difficult to go to the cadres to deal with this kind of matter: only the person involved knew about the matter, and the public was justified and the mother-in-law was justified.
Without concrete evidence, the cadres couldn't just listen to Qiu Guiying's words and rashly deal with Cao Zigao, right?
What's more important is that Qiu Guiying is still in the Xiaolaojun production team and has not yet established a stable footing.
In addition, her future husband is a fool. Even if Qiu Guiying does not make a fuss, she will easily arouse others' suspicion.
Others will wonder whether she will live honestly with that "fire boy" in the future.
If this breaks out, Qiu Guiying's reputation will definitely be tarnished.
Then she really won't be able to stay in the Xiaolaojun production team from now on.
She was already poor and sad, but she really didn't dare to compete with Cao Zigao for her future...
"Take care of yourself."
Luo Xuan stood up and said, "I'll go to the back mountain for a walk."
