Good Family in the 1960's

211-220

Chapter 211 Thanksgiving 

  Ding Lanying put the basket on the kang, with tears in her eyes, "Dad, you are the head of the family, you come to distribute them." In the past, the old man Ding was the one who made the decisions, but now he and his wife are not allowed to eat. Save the meal for the children to eat. At this moment, I am so hungry that I am weak, and naturally I will lose my dignity.

Old Man Ding was fed by his wife and drank two mouthfuls of Bubble Wotou soup, opened his eyes, and turbid tears flowed out, "Yingzi..."

Mrs. Li said, "Don't be mad at your father, if you take more back , the family will not be so embarrassed."

Old man Ding glanced at the old lady, trying to tell her not to talk nonsense, but he couldn't say anything.

Hey, it's difficult.

He couldn't watch his family starve to death, and he said he didn't care what the daughter wanted to eat. If the daughter's family had it, give it, they survived for a while, and they must find a way to return it to the Zhou family in the future.

So, take it now and take it, you can't take it back after you have opened your mouth.

Mrs. Li was nagging again, saying that the Zhou family only gave a few dry buns, and I didn't know what year it was.

Eating two bites a day is enough to keep people alive.

She thought, let the old man know, so that he will take the initiative to ask for it in the future. The second time he goes, his in-laws will not save face, at least he can ask for twice as much.

Listening to her nagging complaints, old man Ding could not wait to find a crack to crawl in. Fortunately, his in-laws couldn't hear this. If they heard her, he would be ashamed to death.

Not only is she not grateful, but also despise the life-saving grace of others. Is this what people do?

The old man Ding was so angry that he almost passed out.

...

In the end, Ding Lanying couldn't take care of her family's affairs. Since she said that she should marry her, she didn't need to think about her family's family, and naturally she couldn't interfere in her family's family affairs.

You don't need to think about it, she also knows that what she takes back will probably not be eaten by her parents, and most of them will end up in the mouths of her brother and nephew.

But she couldn't help it, her parents were happy, and it was their own business to be willing to fight and suffer.

When Ding Lanying went back, she had to thank Zhang Cuihua. She also knew her mother-in-law's style. The Zhou family should do what the Ding family should have. No one has food. .

This time, the food for the Ding family is the food saved by Ding Lanying's house, and there will be no more food in the future. If you want, you can take the girl back directly.

At night, Mo Ru also talked about this with Zhou Mingyu, and admired Zhang Cuihua's foresight. "I used to think that my mother kept those dry food for emergency use when our team was hungry. I didn't expect it to help relatives."

Although Zhang Cuihua, Everyday is powerful and hates others to take advantage, but in fact, she is not stingy, and of course, it is not easy to bully.

Seeing that Mrs. Li came, in addition to crying and complaining to Ding Lanying, she didn't even dare to say harsh words to Zhang Cuihua.

If it was San Niang's family, what would it be like?

Zhou Mingyu patted his daughter lightly and sighed, "There are some teams outside, it's really difficult."

If the vanguard team didn't have Mo Ru's space, even if the two of them crossed over, it wouldn't change anything. Everyone else is starving.

Now they not only protect their family members, but also help the entire team as much as possible. Zhou Mingyu couldn't help but hold Mo Ru's hand, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mo Ru smiled and said, "Where am I working so hard? Walk around every day and eat well. I'm full and warm, and I still have eggs and snacks to eat every day, so I don't think I'm too happy."

Zhou Mingyu smiled and transported his daughter to the side, "Wife, let's do something happier... "

...

Dingjia Village is not a special case. Many battalions outside cannot afford to eat, and they will try to find a way to eat when they are hungry. If there are relatives in the vanguard battalion, no matter if they are close relatives or not, they can't help but think of excuses to eat.

Although you eat in the cafeteria, you don't have to divide the food, but you can save half of it for us to eat.

That way you won't starve to death, and neither will we!

There are those who are weak and soft-hearted and refuse to open their mouths. When relatives come, they have no choice but to share it.

But no one's family has many relatives, the old woman has her natal family, and the daughter-in-law has her natal family.

Seeing that this one is coming to get food, that one wants to come too. One to two, a dozen people come at once.

What's more, the Pioneer Brigade has also reduced the amount of food. A meal that is half-full for five or six people, now requires more than 20 people to eat, of course it is not enough.

Whoever eats will be hungry

. Therefore, some people who were originally weak and easy to be with each other were forced to become fierce. No relatives were allowed to come, even if they turned their faces.

You can't save your family from starving to death.

Zhang Cuihua's family is already powerful, even if relatives come, they have to be good-natured, no one dares to go wild.

Lao Ding's family came to bring back some dry wow head, Zhang Gu took it back to his mother's house to deliver it, and then no relatives came to the door again.

It was Mo Ru's second brother who came to deliver a small jar of glutinous rice noodles and a few catties of donkey and horse meat, which Mo Shujie had obtained.

Now there is not enough food to eat, and many animals in the brigades continue to die. If he is lucky, he can also share some meat and bones.

Killing animals is also a skillful job. Many battalions feel that people can't afford to raise them, so what animals can they raise, let's talk about starvation before they die. Seeing that the animal was getting thinner and thinner, they became anxious. If they starved to death before eating, there would be no meat, so it would be better to eat while there was meat. But if they were not sick or suffering, the members would not dare to kill livestock, especially cattle. Whoever slaughtered the cattle would be sentenced to death, possibly the death penalty!

That's why some people who have a crooked mind try to find a way to cause an accident or illness to the animal. For example, the animal falls into a ditch and falls to its death, is crushed to death by a falling wall, or suffers from disease...

Anyway, I can't get enough to eat now. People also eat edema and die, so it's normal for animals to die from disease.

Because of this, Mo Shujie was busy during the slack season.

One is a gelding animal, which cannot be raised and cannot be killed, so the male animal must be gelded to avoid breeding.

One is to help see a doctor, to confirm that the animals are dying, and so on, so that the team can justifiably eat the dead animals.

In the past, if you died of illness, you had to go to the commune veterinary station to report and send a veterinarian to come down for inspection. In the end, the veterinary station might pull the animal body away, and the production team would not be able to eat it.

Now Mo Shujie is in charge of the battalions far away from the commune. He can help to confirm the signature, so that they don't have to send the dead animals to the veterinary station, and they can eat them by their own production teams.

Zhou Mingyu also specially reminded his father-in-law that he should be careful and protect himself first.

Mo Shujie also understands that he has always acted cautiously, and every time he wrote the report without revealing the water, he just saw the results.

Regarding the act of being so hungry that they tried to kill the animals, the third and fourth teams still had some gluttons and muttered in secret that the other team had eaten meat, but their vanguard team had nothing to eat.

After being found out by Zhou Minggui and Zhou Chengming, they scolded those few behind their backs, and almost pulled them out to fight!

No one will dare to say such nonsense again.

Not only Zhang Cuihua's family, even Li Guiyun's family, they don't entertain relatives now, and their family can only eat half full, how can they help relatives who can't finish?

Of course, there are those who are strong, and there are those who can't stand up and are bullied by relatives.

Zhao Peilan's family is, her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces all came, and even sisters and cousins ​​wanted to come, a total of more than a dozen people came.

These people live in their homes, rushing to make meals for them, rushing to share a few mouthfuls every day.

Granny Zhao Peilan's family was weak and could not stand up by herself, but they were bullied by them for not eating, which made Granny Zhao Peilan cry and go to the captain to complain.

Zhao Peilan also felt ashamed, and also felt that her mother-in-law was ignorant, stingy and stingy, others could not eat it, how could her father, mother, brother and nephew not eat it?

The contradictions that come and go are getting heavier and heavier.

Zhou Chengzhi watched with a cold eye. If members of the club came to the team for help, he had to come forward. If they didn't take the initiative to speak up, he wouldn't care.

For some people, if he manages them, he thinks they are nosy, saying, "The food is all coming to the house, and we eat our own portion, not anyone else's, so you care so much?" The strong family, relatives If you don't dare to bully, and you can't stand up yourself, if you don't want to bully the other, you want to bully.

So he doesn't care.

But no matter how good a talker is, the first meal is okay, the second meal is unbearable, the first day can be endured, the second day is going to fight.

Not only the in-laws came, but even those relatives who could not be beaten came to beg for food.

With so many people, who can afford it?

So in the end, even the weakest person couldn't stand it. Zhao Peilan's mother-in-law directly sued Zhou Chengzhi, "Captain, you have to decide for us, or you will be bullied to death."

Zhou Chengzhi naturally took care of it when someone complained.

He directly studied a new method with the think tank, "In the future, members of the team must eat meals, and meals must be eaten in the cafeteria, and are not allowed to be brought home!"

Eating here can ensure that his members eat more, and leave a little if they want. If you don't want to bring it back, you can eat it all by yourself, and let your relatives retreat.

In this way, it really broke one vote to fight the autumn wind, but it didn't stop those with different brain circuits. There are still a few wonderful families who starved their own homes and saved their rations for others to eat.

Most of them are the brothers and nephews of their parents.

"I can't help you, I can't starve my mother to death, why don't I just starve to death myself ..."

Others, Zhou Chengzhi felt that it was fortunate that he had foresight. Hearing that the cafeteria outside could not continue, he decisively asked the cafeteria to halve the amount of meals.

If the team still has enough to eat, if it spreads out, people from the whole commune will come to beg for food.

It is said that he is ruthless and will not be saved, does he have the ability to save him?

If this is a good year, a small area will be affected, and it goes without saying that he is willing to save it. Most of them haven't eaten now, but they have a few, how to save it?

Immediately above, instructions were issued, requiring each team to check the number of their own members, strictly prohibit rural people from entering the city to beg, strictly prohibit going out and wandering, and strictly prohibit fleeing the famine!

Cards are set up at all intersections, and if you catch anyone who wants to go north to the northeast to escape the famine, they will be caught as a "blind stray".

Because this is to discredit the new society! As a result

, the relatives of the pioneer brigade all went home one after another.

There are also very few people who want to stay in the vanguard team and not leave, such as Zhao Peilan's family, Zhou Chengzhi directly said to arrest them to the commune, scaring them to leave in despair.

However, there must be someone who speaks badly and complains that the Pioneer Brigade has food to eat, regardless of whether others live or die.

They don't want to have one big team at all, so many people beg for food, and whoever doesn't give it to whom, is it generous only to feed him, or not to be cruel

. Zhou Chengzhi doesn't care about these murmurs, he only knows that he can't starve any member of his team to death. No animal can be starved to death!

Others, he can't control, he is just a production captain, not the secretary of the commune or the county party committee, those are not under his control!

Zhou Mingyu was not idle. He made several trips to the commune to study with Gao Yufei and other technicians how to help the commune in disaster relief and help the victims.

Although there is no need to sell surplus grain without paying the public purchase of grain, there may be no so-called disaster victims, but the public purchase of grain can at least ensure the stability of the city and the army.

But starvation in rural areas is not a good thing. It can only expand the destructive power of drought and insect disasters. Otherwise, who will take the blame?

Mo Ru originally wanted to visit Mojiagou's cellar at night to steal some food to help the commune's disaster relief, but she keenly felt that Cui Fazhong had strengthened the management of that area, so she didn't go again for fear of any accident.

......

Just when the members felt that they could not pass last year's closing, news came from the commune.

Although the relief food was not available, the county party committee convened technicians and model workers from various communes to study a set of famine relief measures by themselves.

Finally, Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu, the two model workers of the Pioneer Brigade, provided a very good solution - drying the locusts harvested in autumn, then grinding them into powder, adding various coarse grains, and adding some substitute foods, such as pod crops. Grind it up so that it can be made into wowotou or big balls, and then steamed.

Although it is not enough to eat, it is more nutritious than starch, and locusts are also rich in protein, so they will not suffer from severe edema.

Looking at it this way, it seems that there are too many locusts this year, and it does not seem to be a bad thing. The sharp weapon for catching locusts has saved the lives of the local people.

Wowotou is given one per person a day, plus the thin soup from each cafeteria, although it is not enough to eat, it can ensure that you will not starve to death. With this support, we can persevere until the spring when everything recovers and wild vegetables grow in the ground.

In order to avoid perfunctory production teams, the commune implemented it uniformly. Each production team was required to send people to collect all the grain in the commune, and each production team sent their own people to follow the commune to learn how to rescue the wasteland.

At the same time, the commune took out emergency food and lent it to the various teams, and returned it to the commune when the season was good.

At this time, those production teams who didn't work hard to take the locusts began to regret, because they paid less, and naturally there would be less to save waste.

Mo Ru left some of the locusts she took to feed the chickens, and the rest were handed over to the commune to make waste-rescue nests.

Wowotou is made in batches, and then sent to each team for distribution in batches. It is strictly ordered that every member can get Wowotou every day. We must prevent anyone from abusing their power and deduct the disaster relief Wowotou.

Liu Hongqi, Xiang Yuting and others went from the county to the commune, to the various teams, and praised Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru, so that people must remember the contributions of the model workers.

Of course, to praise the model workers is to praise the commune and county party cadres in disguise. This is the highest level of flattery. It is more powerful than flattering and saying wise.

Chen Aiyue, a township propagandist, even took over the banner of Zhou Chengzhi's praise for the model workers, and everyone knew that Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru had come up with a way to make a disaster relief nest, and that Mo Ru had handed over thousands of pounds of locusts for free.

She went back and forth between the commune and the various teams, and asked Mo Ru to help write an article praising the model worker.

Moru refused.

She really has no way to praise herself, sorry.

Chen Aiyue asked Wei Shengjin to write it. Wei Shengjin was worthy of falling out of his book bag. He wrote the article in a sour and numb way. Chen Aiyue felt that it would not work even if he had no culture.

In the end, she applied to the commune, did an interview on the contribution of model workers to disaster relief, took photos, wrote a manuscript, and sent it to the county party committee.

Soon the propagandists of the county party committee came to conduct more professional interviews, and vigorously promoted it in the regional newspapers, and also publicized the formula of this disaster relief wowotou.

All of a sudden, please Zaowang Village has become a disaster relief village, and the model worker for locust control has also been upgraded to a model worker for disaster relief.

Mo Ru's reputation has skyrocketed.

The direct benefit brought to the Pioneer Brigade is that even if the third team goes out, they dare to stand up and say, "We are from the model worker village for disaster relief!"

When it is said that it is from the model worker village, outsiders will take a high look and say thank you. .

All of a sudden, the Pioneer Brigade has a higher stake in marrying a wife and a husband. Outsiders have said that they should be in-laws with the Model Workers Village even if they don't want a betrothal gift.

Let's say that the disaster relief wowotou was sent to Dingjia Village, and the old man Ding held the wowotou made of this mixture and burst into tears with gratitude.

His old wife and nephews went to Zhoujia Village and brought back a basket of vegetables and life-saving wowotou. At first glance, the in-laws were reluctant to eat and save it for emergency, but they really saved their old Ding family's life.

Being so generous, his family actually complained that his in-laws were stingy and eccentric. Before the daughter left, the family began to rob her head, and he also hurt the daughter's heart. He felt very ashamed and would never see his in-laws in the future.

Angered and ashamed, he actually started a hunger strike.

Later, it was his son and daughter-in-law who kept making amends to him, and his wife and grandson were crying, and he began to eat.

Looking at it now, it's not that the model workers don't want to be saved, they are doing big things to save more people.

Old man Ding held the wowotou respectfully on the table, kowtowed, and asked the whole family to kowtow together.

The second son and the two daughters-in-law still didn't want to move, thinking that the old man Ding had nothing to do.

Seeing them like that, Old Man Ding was instantly furious, pointing at them and scolding: "The white-eyed wolf with no conscience, we have no thanks for saving our family's lives, what's wrong with kowtow? Like you, if there is anything else in the future, Don't say that people are not willing to help, and I'm embarrassed to accept it, I'm a shame!" The son and daughter-in-law knelt down aggrievedly, but the children were happy, anyway, they are used to kowtow during the New Year, and kowtow whenever they want to.

After praying, the old man Ding continued to scold with a cold face: "I didn't say anything before, but today I'll talk about the ugly here. If anyone says that their relatives are not good in the future, let me get out of the way! I don't care about women. The man! My old Ding family doesn't have such an unscrupulous white-eyed wolf, filial children are hard to find, and there is no shortage of white-eyed wolves!" Mrs. Li was frightened, she had never seen the old man make such a big fire in her life, and quickly persuaded: "No one said anything, they are all grateful, why are you so angry?"

The eldest son and the daughter-in-law were as silent as a gourd, and the second son and daughter-in-law quickly calmed him down.

Brother Ding said with a smile: "Dad, don't be angry, there has never been such a jerk in our old Ding family. We are very grateful. My wife and I also said that we will work hard and earn more work points in the future. Find a chance to repay his second aunt's family." 

The second daughter-in-law quickly echoed, "Dad, it's like this, what you say in the future is what you say."

Ding old man felt a little more comfortable now, and at the same time he felt that he couldn't be too soft, otherwise he would die. Being ridden by his son and daughter-in-law, he did not hold him as the head of the family. He also understood that he and his wife thought of their sons and grandsons wholeheartedly, and gave them up if they stuttered, but instead of being grateful, they felt it was right.

Even wishing to starve him to death.

If it wasn't for the fact that he still wanted to find the second daughter for food, he would not admit his mistake and beg him to eat later.

He also realized this when he was on the verge of death, and there was an epiphany that penetrated life and death. At that time, I was lying on the kang and starved to death. It was really my in-laws who saved me. As an old man, if you don't be tough, as you get older, when you can't work anymore, your son and daughter-in-law will dislike it, and then you will only starve to death!

When he brought it back to Wowotou, he watched the two daughters-in-law rob their daughter and leave it to their son and them to eat. Old Man Ding became furious when he found out, "Where is the stinky temper? The commune guarantees that everyone will be led to the wowotou, and that no cadre will be deducted and embezzled. Report to the chief security officer, and pull it out to fight!"

The two daughters-in-law were so frightened that they didn't dare to make small movements again.

The wowotou that the family brings back every day is handed over to the old man Ding for his distribution, one for each person, and the girl also has a share.

From now on, he has set new rules. Everyone has a share of the family's meals, and no one is allowed to eat only for the boy but not for the girl.

Just as Gaojin County was improving, other counties in the region experienced severe famine, edema was getting worse, and the death toll was skyrocketing.

At this time, Gao Ruiyang, a secretary with disaster relief experience, was directly ordered by the provincial party committee to be transferred to be the deputy secretary of the region, and was directly responsible for the disaster relief work in the entire region.

Gao Ruiyang was promoted, and immediately ordered two model workers, Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru, to teach the disaster relief experience of the Red Flag Commune.

Secretary Lu, who was promoted to the post of Zhanguang, took the broken jeep of the county party committee, and personally sent the pennants of the model workers to rescue the famine and the model workers to control locusts issued by the prefectural committee to the vanguard brigade, and encouraged her with pleasure, "Comrade Moru, the prefectural committee and the whole country. The county elders and villagers are grateful to you, keep going!"

Mo Ru took the pennant calmly and smiled slightly, "Secretary, can I ask for a reward?"

Chapter 212 Little Brother

 Secretary Lu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Comrade Mo Ru, you said it." Unlike the
previous female model worker, this time is simply a hero of Gaojin County!

Since the establishment of the locust nest, the edema in Gaojin County has been well controlled, and there has been no more starvation. Otherwise, Secretary Gao will not be promoted, nor will he be promoted.

So don't say that Mo Ru wants a reward, no matter how big it is, as long as he can get it, there is absolutely no ambiguity.

He wondered if Moru had rewarded sewing machines and bicycles, maybe she wanted another watch radio?

These are high-end goods that money can't buy, and coupons are necessary, and such coupons are not enough in the hands of related households, and they cannot be circulated on the market, let alone in the countryside.

He is ready.

Everyone was shocked by Mo Ru, how dare this couple really want it? Every time you have to go to the head of the secretary.

At the beginning, Zhou Mingyu was in charge of Secretary Gao asking for pork for his daughter-in-law. What does Mo Ru want now?

The cadres who followed Secretary Lu and the commune cadres all stared at Mo Ru, wondering what reward she could ask for.

Mo Ru was not nervous, but still smiled slightly, "Secretary, I would like to ask you to give our brigade an indicator. When we have tractors in Gaojin County, I hope we have the right of first refusal."

Cultivation, raking, sowing, pulling Grain...everything goes, tractor is a farming artifact and must be purchased.

She could hear Zhou Yu say that the domestic tractors were put into the market in the winter of 1959, and they probably haven't reached them yet, but she has to supervise them.

Secretary Lu was stunned for a second, then laughed loudly, clapped his hands and praised: "A model worker is a model worker, who has thoughts, consciousness, and action. This is a good model worker who has the party and the people in his heart!"

Zhang Genfa clapped his hands vigorously and loudly echoed Secretary Lu's words. He was really hungry recently. Since he joined the food search team, Zhou Chengzhi cut the village's food rations by half.

Damn, they are really going to starve him, the brigade secretary!

The happiest members of the Pioneer Brigade were none other than the members of the Pioneer Brigade. Zhou Chengzhi's face was flushed with excitement, and he stared at Secretary Lu's mouth with embarrassment.

Be sure to promise!

Secretary Lu said readily: "When we have tractors in Gaojin County, we must give the first indicator to the Pioneer Brigade."

Liu Hongqi and Xiang Yuting were also very happy, and giving it to the Pioneer Brigade was equivalent to giving it to the Hongqi Commune. .

However, Secretary Lu knew where there were tractors at this time, and some were imported. At most, they were used in the frontier army to open up wasteland, and it was impossible to send them to mature farming areas like them.

Of course, the first tractor factory in Luoyang laid the foundation stone in October 1955, and it may be almost the same after a few years. When the domestic tractor is put into the market, there will definitely be places in Gaojin County, so he will definitely give it to the Pioneer Brigade.

Talk about it.

...

In the blink of an eye, the spring of 1960.

As the saying goes, "the good first month, the sad February, the yellow-faced March, and the starving April", spring is green and yellow, and there are countless hungry people, which is much more difficult than winter. Fortunately, there is now a rescue of waste nests. Although they are still not full, they can guarantee that they will not starve to death, so the spirit of the members is not bad.

As soon as the second month of February passed, feeling the breath of spring, the elderly and children began to carry baskets to the ground to pluck out wild vegetables and grass roots, and they would pluck out what they could eat anyway.

In previous years, Zhang Cuihua was the most active in plucking wild vegetables, but this year she didn't go, and even her children didn't let them go. Not only her house, but the entire vanguard brigade did not go. This is what Zhou Chengzhi asked, his team still has food, don't go and grab this wild vegetable from the villagers outside.

After all, Zhang Cuihua decided to marry her fourth son, Zhang Luo, and it was Jin Qiu, the queen of Shawu of Dawang's family.

Last year, the Wang family repeatedly expressed that they liked Zhou Minglin. As long as the Zhou family agreed, they could get married as soon as possible. Zhang Cuihua was angry with her son and Kan Yaner, and wanted her son to wait for a few years.

If you make a mistake, you must be taught a lesson!

But the Wang family never gave up, and it was mentioned again after the new year. In fact, it was not only the Wang family, but also the Zhou family who wanted to marry the Zhou family. Especially since Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu invented the rescue relief wowotou, a new wave of climax has been set off, but Zhang Cuihua has always been Not letting go.

At this moment, she watched her son become honest, and in February Zhang Cuihua let go of her son's engagement. However, she also made it clear to the Wang family in advance, so as not to have any misunderstandings and complain at that time.

The Wang family doesn't care about this at all, let alone an unsuccessful blind date, even if they are divorced, they don't mind!

How many people are waiting in line in the outer village.

In this way, Zhou Minglin's marriage was settled.

Although the Wang family said that they don't want a betrothal gift, as long as the young couple live a good life, it is better than anything else, but Zhang Cuihua doesn't take advantage of this, she volunteered to give a hook cloth.

At this time, there was no land or food reserved, and naturally there was not much dowry, so the decision was to give a few feet of cloth, and a hook of cloth was not bad.

Other people's homes are so worried about a hook that they can't get it together, but Zhang Cuihua is naturally not worried. She saved last year's cloth tickets into cloth, and this year's cloth tickets are directly given to the Wang family.

After the decision was made, the two families quietly found someone to check the date, and they were scheduled to get married on May 21st after the wheat harvest and farmers were busy.

As a result, just as Zhou Minglin decided here, there was news from Kan Yaner, she and Zhou Mingjun also decided, and the wedding date was a month earlier than Zhou Minglin.

The members felt that it was a lot of fun.

However, Zhang Cuihua didn't take it seriously at all, so what should she do? She knew that Li Guiyun had meant that for a long time, and she knew that she didn't care about her, so naturally she didn't care about it.

What's more, Li Guiyun also came to seek her opinion.

Although the Kan family probably meant it like this, she didn't care about the Kan family, "His third wife, we have been sister-in-law for so many years, who doesn't know who's temper, you can do whatever you want, I'm fine."

Li Guiyun was happy . Dian Dian went to prepare, feeling that his Ming Jun'er could marry a daughter-in-law like Yan'er, which was really burning incense.

...

Although there were two heavy snowfalls last winter, but the spring has been dry, Zhou Chengzhi is used to it, and arranges people to pull water and water the wheat every day.

I didn't expect that there would be two rains when I was about to plant the spring land, so I saved the need to continue watering the land and just planted the spring land directly.

It's just that after planting the spring land, the sky begins to dry up again, and it is necessary to continue to pull water to irrigate the land. The Pioneer Brigade has also adapted to this situation. Anyway, their springs never dry. No matter how many people carry water, they always maintain the water volume of the Banping Pond. Try to irrigate all the crops.

After planting the spring land, Zhou Chengzhi took the members to compost and continue to dig a large well for water storage. Anyway, no one should be idle, especially the lazy men and women in the third and fourth teams, who work when they want to eat!

Mo Ru relaxed again.

Mo Ru is still in charge of picking up pests, picking up cotton, and also working as a technician in mushroom greenhouses and chicken farms, and does not need to go to the ground. When planting the spring field, she had collected the grubs, mole crickets and other pests in the soil, not only her own team, but also the nearby fields.

In order to hide her eyes and ears, she took a small rake and went to the ground to pick it up. Does anyone suspect that she can find bugs? As a result, after she left, everyone looked carefully, and there were really no bugs. Moreover, Mo Ru can throw a bunch of bugs at the chicken farm every day, so the members are naturally more and more convinced.

On this day, Mo Ru was frying mushroom snacks at home. He rolled the mushrooms in the egg batter, and then fried them in oil until golden brown. The outside was crispy and the inside was soft and tender. It tasted fragrant and sweet. Both adults and children liked it. The meat is just as delicious.

Of course, eating such a meal is really extravagant. No one else in Mancun has the financial resources to satisfy their cravings except her.

The weather has warmed up at the end of March, the sun is warm, the wind is intoxicating, and the hedges inside and outside her courtyard are thriving again. Since the beginning of spring, tender greenery has appeared, bright yellow jasmine, pink and white apricot flowers, yellow-green willow buds, pink peach blossoms, purple sycamore, and now it is even more red and green. Absolutely beautiful.

A few days ago, Zhang Cuihua's elm tree grew a lot of elm money, which was donated to the cafeteria, wrapped a fried elm purse, and steamed a few elm rice balls. Others are nothing, but Mo Ru thinks it is delicious, so she saved a lot of elm money in the space and kept it to eat slowly. After all, she also took insects for the elm trees in the village.

Elms are especially fond of attracting insects. Without pesticides, they are often bitten and embarrassed. They don't grow much elms at all. With Mo Ru's golden fingers, those little elms grow extraordinarily stretched.

Mo Ru took out the fried mushrooms with long chopsticks and invited Zhou Qiqi and the children to come and eat them.

As the children rushed in and brought in a lot of dust, Mo Ru waved and took away the flying dust, leaving the house clean again.

She served food for the children and told Zhou Qiqi to slow down and not to grab with her brothers and sisters, so she went to the yard.

Zhou Mingyu was digging the ground to grow vegetables. Last year, Mo Ru brought back some humus soil. The soil in the yard became more and more fertile, so he wanted to order a variety of leafy vegetables.

Mo Ru went over and took a towel to wipe his sweat, and discussed with him, "Little Brother, let's go for a walk in the county town."

Fu Zhen came back from the provincial capital a few days ago, and asked Chen Gang, who went to the county town to buy goods, to help send a letter to Mo Ru. , said that after a while, he would go to the countryside to see them. Now that she is a doctor, she goes to work, holds meetings, and trains every day. She has at most half a day of rest a week. She has no time to go to the countryside, so Mo Ru wants to go to the city to see her.

Although she and Fu Zhen didn't know each other for a long time, they got along well and regarded each other as good friends.

Although she is very respected in the village and everyone treats her very well, except for Zhou Mingyu, the level of others is too different from her, and she cannot feel like a friend on the spiritual level.

She and Zhou Mingyu have a close relationship, but friendship cannot be replaced by love.

Zhou Mingyu of course agreed.

Mo Ru asked him to go to the chicken farm to pick a cock and clean it up. The chicken farm's roosters eat well. After shedding their hair and picking them up, they still have more than three pounds. It is decent and affordable to take them to the city as gifts. She added a small basket of eggs, a large basket of mushrooms, and picked a basket of tender toon sprouts from her own toon tree.

She already knew that the Fu family and the Qiu family were in good condition, and some of their family members were cadres of the county party committee, but she was no different as before, and she communicated as she wanted to.

Early the next morning, Zhou Mingyu went to ask for leave, and rode his bicycle to the county seat with his wife on his back.

Xiaoba followed behind the bicycle, and Xiaojiu was guarding the door at home. There was no way that Xiaoba would follow Zhou Qiqi wherever he went.

Given that it is more clever and sensible than other pastoral dogs, and it can catch hares, Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu have no objection, just in case they have some wild food along the way.

They could have taken the new road to the north, and it was quicker to enter the city, but they wanted to visit Aunt Li first on the way, so they still took the south road.

Anyway, there are bicycles, which are much lighter than before.

When they arrived at Li Nongjiang's house, the men went to compost and the children went out to mow the grass. Aunt Li did some chores at home and took care of the mill.

The last time Mo Ru and Zhou Ming delivered the goods, Aunt Li was still ill.

Although Xiazhuang is close to the county seat, the conditions of their cafeteria are much worse than that of Zhoujia Village. After February, wild vegetables grow, and the amount of rescued waste wotou is gradually reduced. Many people are still starving. In addition, last winter, Bara of the Li family was beaten to death and ate meat on the way to the city. Aunt Li became ill with pain and anxiety, and only got better after the spring.

Mo Ru gave Aunt Li two catties of mushrooms, five eggs, and a few catties of dried sweet potatoes.

Aunt Li refused to accept it, "good boy, you have given Auntie enough things, I can't ask you any more."

Mo Ru said with a smile, "Auntie, you are also Xiaoba's grandmother, so you should be honoring your old man."

Aunt Li said with tears in her eyes, she insisted on keeping them for dinner.

Mo Ru naturally refused, "Auntie, let's go to the city and disturb you later."

Although they can buy things through Chen Gang now, Qiu Lei's line cannot be interrupted, but since last year, supplies are in short supply. Food is scarce, and the business has shrunk a lot. Both of them admired Qiu Lei very much. This man looked like a fool, but he was actually bold and careful, and he was a business man. After cooperating for so long, both parties know how to understand each other and pay attention to not worrying about small gains and losses in the long run. Therefore, they cooperated very happily with Qiu Lei and are now very good friends.

When they entered the city, they encountered patrol officers, and Qiu Lei had introduced them to them. Naturally, there was no need to interrogate them. The two also greeted them warmly.

This is a model worker who dares to ask the secretary for a reward!

Even if you don't know the two of them, you know they're not ordinary people when you see such a new bike, so naturally you won't ask more questions. After all, a bicycle at this time is like the Santana in the 1980s and 1990s, and it is even rarer than the Mercedes-Benz BMW of later generations.

They went to the Public Security Office to find Qiu Lei first.

This fellow was fighting against speculation, and at the same time he was speculative, and as a result, the business work was not delayed, and he was promoted to a team captain.

They entered the yard of the Public Security Administration, and many people greeted them.

Because of Qiu Lei, they are also familiar with these people, and they are also famous model workers, and these people are also very enthusiastic about them.

Since becoming the model worker issued by the prefectural committee, the two of them have been to the county a few times, mostly to give a report to the county committee to impart their experience. Although Mo Ru felt tired and not enthusiastic, she always said a few words to her face until Chunchong was busy. Just stopped. When they come to the county, they will come to Qiu Lei whenever they have the chance, then visit Qiu Yun, and even go to the county hospital to see.

Not only to visit friends, but also to get to know some people to understand the trends in the city, so as not to know anything in the countryside, and not be able to respond in time if something happens.

Qiu Lei was wearing a blue uniform and was teaching a row of opportunists.

Those people were standing against the wall with their heads bowed and baskets in hand, and no one dared to refute them with low brows and drooping eyes. "I said you don't know the rules or do you know the crime? Severely crack down on the black market, speculative, propaganda every day, can't you hear? If you are deaf, I will dig your ears?"

Market managers are dedicated to dealing with them, even if they are not officials, they have a lot of power.

Qiu Lei carried a notebook, bit the pencil in his mouth, turned it over, asked the name one by one, and said to a teenage girl, "Wang Yinqiu, this is your third time, what am I saying? ?Let one give two but not three, the first time I say a word, the second time I let you go, the third time I will confiscate the goods, and I will be educated to write an inspection, and the fourth time I will have to fight! "

As soon as Mo Ru heard Wang Yinqiu, is her name sister Wang Jinqiu?

She paid attention to it, and used her arm to abduct Zhou Mingyu.

Zhou Mingyu smiled, hugged Zhou Qiqi, and walked into the room, "Captain Qiu, majesty!" He joked.

When Qiu Lei in the room heard this, he said happily: "Oh, no wonder the magpie is called Chacha today, it turns out that my big fat girl is here."

Mo Ru glanced at Wang Yinqiu, and found that she was beautiful and had a good figure, just because Country girls have to work and have slightly rough skin.

As soon as I asked, it was indeed from the Wangjia Shawu.

Zhou Mingyu and Qiu Lei exchanged a few words over there.

Mo Ru gave Qiu Lei a wink, and Qiu Lei saw her plead, and naturally let her go. He didn't want to make things difficult for them at all, but he still had to do superficial articles.

"Since the rescue model workers are begging you, go back and reflect on it. Next time I meet you, it must be confiscated!"

Several people hurriedly agreed and rushed out.

Wang Yinqiu ran outside and glanced back, smiled gratefully at Mo Ru, and ran off with a basket on her back.

Qiu Lei greeted them and reached out to hug Zhou Qiqi, holding her up in his arms, "Daughter, what do you want to eat, godfather will buy it for you."

Zhou Qiqi is a rare person, and the married ones are not married. Everyone wants to be her godparents.

Zhou Qiqi is now three years old, and she has grown a lot taller. SHe is no longer as fat as he was when he was a child, but she is still round and lovely, and her white and tender face is like a rare apple.

Of course, the biggest change in her was not her stature, nor was she fat or thin, but that she could walk and run, especially with a small mouth, saying that she was more agile than a five- or six-year-old child.

Zhou Qiqi likes people to hold her a little higher and chat with others at the same level. She doesn't like to raise her head to chat with others. Unless it is a few people close to her parents, it is impossible for anyone to chat with her for a long time condescendingly.

Zhou Qiqi: "Braised pork!"

Since she started to grow teeth, she wanted to eat meat, fish, and everything delicious, especially the crispy and soft roasted pork, which melted in the mouth. She didn't need to grind her teeth. 

Qiu Lei said proudly: "I know you like to eat, my godfather got you a few meat tickets, and we'll cut the meat later."

Since he was able to eat meat at a little bit on the seventh week of July, Mo Ru added the meat ticket to the reselling list. item.

Although we have chickens at home, we can't kill them all the time. It's better to buy pork.

Qiu Lei also took the initiative, every time half a catty is not too much, and one or two is not too little, and even his own meat ticket manages that Qiu's mother wants to come and leave it to Zhou Qiqi.

"Thank you, Godfather Qiu. When I make money, I'll buy you delicious food." Zhou Qiqi began to draw pie for people.

Qiu Lei was very happy, "Good girl, godfather is waiting, my girl is the best."

Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu: "Okay, don't be numb and endless, you want my daughter..you get married and have a baby." As soon as he said marriage, the corners of Qiu Lei's mouth drooped down, "If she wants to marry me, I will marry immediately, and tomorrow I will marry her. To give birth to a younger brother and sister for Qiqi."

Qiu Lei liked Fu Zhen, but Fu Zhen only regarded him as a relative, and it didn't mean that at all.

Qiu Lei is also very stubborn. If she doesn't marry him, she won't marry him. If she has time, she will grind her. Thinking about a good girl, she is afraid of being entangled with her husband.

Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu also knew about them, but they never said anything.

After chatting for a while, Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu said to go to the department store to buy something first.

Qiu Lei said: "My brother happens to be on duty, you go, I will take my eldest daughter to cut the meat, you can ask Fu Zhen to go to my brother's house for dinner." The two agreed and waved goodbye to Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi pointed at Xiao Ba: "Go!"

Xiao Ba was a little reluctant to part with her, but the owner told it to not dare to disobey, so he followed Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu's car.

Take good care of your master's parents.

Qiu Lei put a cotton cushion on the back seat, put Zhou Qiqi on top, and carried her to cut the meat.

The meat and vegetables in the county are all in state-run vegetable farms, not in supply and marketing cooperatives like communes.

With Zhou Qiqi on his back, Qiu Lei was very proud, and when he met everyone, he said that this was his daughter, and asked if she was handsome. After going around the state-run vegetable market, I cut a pound of meat, bought some vegetables and tofu, and then carried Zhou Qiqi to the non-staple food department to buy snacks.

On the way, he proudly said: "Daughter, it's your godfather and me. If anyone else, I wouldn't be able to buy this meat and vegetables."

Since the second half of last year, supplies have become increasingly tight, and the state-run vegetable market has not enough meat and vegetables. So no longer open all day.

Now they open at 8:00 in the morning and close at 2:00 in the afternoon. There is a shortage of meat and vegetables. If you arrive late, you can hardly buy anything. However, because of his special status, he deals with the staff here every day, and has a little tacit understanding and trade with each other, so he can not only buy meat, but also owe half a catty of meat tickets and give it back.

He has nothing to brag about with others, so he likes to brag with Zhou Qiqi, and wants to establish his tall image in the eyes of a dry girl.

Even if you can't compare to your own father, you have to be taller than other godfathers.

Zhou Qiqi nodded vigorously: "Dad said you have a big face!"

Qiu Lei: "..."

He took Zhou Qiqi and bought some snacks and half a catty of hard candies, and put them in a small satchel, "This is a good thing for export and domestic sales. The rural supply and marketing cooperatives don't have it. You can eat it slowly when you go back."

Zhou Qiqi was a little embarrassed: "Godfather, help me hide it."

Put it in the bag, and her mother can see it at a glance. 

Mother said that she can only eat one piece of candy a day, but she really wants to eat it all in one day!

That's right, Zhou Qiqi not only likes to eat meat, but also likes to eat sweets, which is simply not enough.

No matter how Mo Ru scares her teeth will rot if she eats too much candy, she doesn't want to compromise.

Mo Ru is really afraid of her rotten teeth. In such an environment where materials are tight, clothing and food are scarce, if she eats candy and bad teeth on July, then it is really... she will definitely be accused of being a capitalist way of life.

She directly told Zhou Qiqi that the supply and marketing agency did not sell, but it was not easy to use. Zhou Qiqi went to the agency to inquire about it, and in a while, she inquired about the supply and marketing agency.

Fortunately, she also knew the limited supply of sugar. Their family could have these, and their parents were already very capable. Others could not see a piece of candy all year round!

She can get one piece a day, satisfied!

However, the godfather gave so much at once, and she was very happy! If it is taken away by my mother, I will definitely not be able to eat it casually. What should I do?

Qiu Lei clapped his chest and made a promise, "Don't worry, I'll tell your parents when I look back, I'll bring you back and eat two yuan a day."

Zhou Qiqi raised his chubby hand, "Three yuan."

Qiu Lei Unceremoniously agreed.

Zhou Qiqi smiled sweetly, "Godfather, you are the best!"

Qiu Lei was immediately proud and carried her to his cousin Qiu Yun's house.

Qiu Yun's lover, Fu Rong, works in a winery, and her father works in the agricultural department of the county party committee. Qiu's mother, Lin Aiyuan, didn't work a few years ago, and she helped take care of the children at home.

"Second Aunt, I'm bringing Qiqi to dinner."

Qiu's mother was coaxing her grandson to eat milk, and she heard Qiu Lei's voice happily saying, "Come in."

Qiu's mother had a good impression of Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu. Fu Zhen and Qiu Lei have to talk about them every time they come, and they are full of praise. Qiu Lei was nothing, but Fu Zhen didn't often praise people. She spoke so highly of the two of them, and Qiu's mother was also very curious. Last winter, Mo Ru and Zhou Ming came to a meeting to give a report, and then came with Qiu Lei and Qiu Yun once, and everyone had a good chat. When Mother Qiu heard about the deeds of the two, she admired them, and said that they were allowed to come and go often as if they were relatives.

"Qiqi has grown taller again!" Qiu's mother came over happily and hugged Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi looked at Qiu's mother who was bending over to talk to her, and said with a smile, "Grandma Lin, I'm sinking, don't flash your waist." When

Qiu mother heard her say such words, she became more and more scornful of her, "Qiqi this Xiaozui is really considerate."

She asked Liangliang, the little grandson at the table, to pour milk and bring candy to her sister.

From the day she came in on July 1st, Liangliang stared at her with full attention.

Liangliang's real name is Qiu Heng. He is four years old this year, but his birthday is on the first lunar month, more than a year older than Zhou Qiqi. Qiu Heng is a very beautiful and clean boy. His skin is as fair as Zhou Qiqi, but he is much thinner than Zhou Qiqi. Mother Qiu said that apart from his face, he is similar to Qiqi, and he has no flesh on his body.

And as a child, he was a little too quiet, with a maturity that did not match his age, like a little adult.

Mother Qiu was always worried that her grandson was too quiet, and wished for a lively child to play with him.

But Qiu Heng would rather watch comics than play with other children.

Think they are noisy!

At this moment, Qiu Heng was sitting at the dining table pursing his lips and looking at Zhou Qiqi with a very tangled expression. Seeing Zhou Qiqi looking over, he happily pushed the milk bottle over.

Zhou Qiqi took this as his favor, and immediately ran over to kneel on the chair and put his hands on his cheeks to observe him, and for a moment came to a conclusion: "Little brother, you have lost weight again!"

Qiu Heng saw her approaching, and became nervous, "...you , you go away!"

He had a deep shadow on Zhou Qiqi, as soon as she got close to him, he was all nervous, as ifhe was about to be bound by something.

Speaking of which, Qiu Heng is a very well-behaved boy. He can quietly read comics or play with toys for a day, but Zhou Qiqi is not.

Zhou Qiqi was a cockfighting lackey in the village, digging turtles to catch grasshoppers, and sometimes he would stay alone without making a sound. But not making a sound doesn't mean she is quiet. It is estimated that she is either destroying the ant nest or picking earthworms!

In order to prevent her mother from scolding her, she is very cute and cute when she goes out, but it is easy to reveal her essence in front of children of the same age.

In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Qiu Heng was so frightened when she and Qiu Heng met for the first time that he was so nervous that he wanted to run into the room and shut the door to hide from her!

Chapter 213 

    When Mother Qiu saw the two children chatting, she was very happy, "Liangliang, even my sister knows that you have lost weight, but you have to eat well and drink milk with your sister." After she finished speaking, she led Qiu Lei into the kitchen, Arrange the meat dishes he brought.

Because Qiu Heng is not feeling well, he often asks for leave and does not go to kindergarten. Fortunately, it is convenient for Qiu's mother to take care of him at home when he is not at work.

Qiu Heng saw Zhou Qiqi staring at her, his eyelids jumped, he quickly turned out a tea bowl, put the rest of the milk in the bottle, and pushed it to her, "Here." The

other children are very fond of his milk, he doesn't like it Drink, but even if you don't like it, you're not willing to give it to others.

In order not to let Zhou Qiqi get too close to him, it was rare for him to be generous.

Although Zhou Qiqi likes to eat meat and candy, she was coquettish and greedy in front of her parents, but she was very well-behaved outside.

She smiled sweetly, "Little brother, you're so kind, I don't want to drink it, you can drink it yourself." Then she added, "Hey, I'm so thin, it's better that I have meat."

Qiu Heng didn't like to eat when he was a child, added He is tall now, so he looks thin, especially with big eyes and a high nose and a pointed chin.

Qiu Heng's face wrinkled again, looking at her more and more tangled, wondering if she was trying to bully him.

...

Mother Qiu chatted with Qiu Lei over there, and when she heard that the model worker couple was coming over for dinner, she went to put on a coat, "Leizi, look at the child, I'll go buy some seafood and come back."

Gao Jin County left Qingshi is about two hundred miles away. Qingshi is close to the sea and has many seafood and aquatic products, so Gaojin County is not short of it. It's just for many reasons that rural supply and marketing cooperatives can sell shrimp skins, kelp, and mackerel at most. If you want to buy high-end products such as dried shrimps, squid, and shrimp, you have to go to the county seat.

But the state-run vegetable market, non-staple food store, and department store in the county have various restrictions, and the quantity is small and expensive.

The family compound of the county party committee is naturally privileged. They have a certain amount of high-end parity coupons every month, which can be bought back at a very low price.

Seeing his grandma leave, Qiu Heng became even more nervous, staring at Zhou Qiqi alertly.

Zhou Qiqi not only did not drink his milk, but also grabbed a handful of candy from his satchel, walked over and handed it to him, "Little brother, give you some candy~~"

Qiu Heng looked at the candy she handed over, His face changed with fright, "No!"

Qiu Lei smiled and said, "Liangliang, my sister will give you candy, what are you afraid of, she won't eat you."

Qiu Heng looked at Zhou Qiqi: " Stay away!"

Zhou Qiqi looked at him innocently, what are you doing, little brother, don't even eat candy? The children in the village didn't know how much they wanted to eat it. Once, she accidentally dropped the candy on the ground with her mouth open. Tie Mei quickly picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, not even afraid of the soil.

Qiu Heng was really afraid of her. When they met for the first time, Zhou Qiqi stared at him with gleaming eyes and shouted, "You look delicious!" Then...

he really rushed up and hugged him. "Ah woo" bit him in the face! ! !

Although it didn't hurt her to bite, Qiu Heng was so frightened that he forgot to cry.

She was good, she apologized immediately when he saw that he was unhappy, and said, "I'm sorry, you are delicious..."

Not only did her parents not scold her, but they laughed instead.

Mad!

He is a brother who can't be stingy, so he forgave her.

But——

she didn't change her mistake, and said to share delicious food with him, but he gave her candy, but she gave him worms!

What's the difference between the bouncing bugs and those caterpillars, can you eat them?

Disgusting!

So even though she was cute, sweet, and smart from now on, she couldn't change the fact that she was a bear sister in her mind.

Qiu Lei saw that a child of his nephew was about to become an old man, and laughed and teased him, "Let's go out, let's go out and eat Chinese locust flowers."

Zhou Qiqi immediately shouted happily after hearing the delicious food, and went to pull Qiu Heng "Little brother,

let's go!" When it was almost noon, Fu Rong came back first with a few squid and seafood. She had already heard her mother-in-law's words and came back to prepare meals.

Zhou Qiqi greeted Fu Rong obediently, "Aunt Fu, you are so beautiful today!"

Fu Rong couldn't help laughing. The last time Zhou Qiqi came, she happened to be sick and had a bad face. Auntie is sick, it's okay now."

This child is really likable, who doesn't like people saying she is beautiful, especially since she is in her thirties and no longer young, and she is always afraid of getting old.

...

Zhou Mingyu carried Mo Ru to the department store to find Qiu Yun first, and Qiu Yun was very happy to see them coming.

After a few greetings, he took out three industrial coupons and said with a smile, "I live up to my trust."

Now materials are in short supply, such as bicycles, sewing machines, radios and other large items are directly invoiced to each unit's quota, and individuals can't get it at all. Yes, but some small things do not need indicators, you can get special tickets or industrial coupons to buy them.

Such as things like wall clocks, flashlights, etc.

This Qiu Lei can't make it, but Qiu Yun's position is, it is still possible to get a few coupons in a year.

Mo Ru thanked them and said happily, "Brother-in-law, we want to buy a wall clock and a flashlight."

After getting to know them, Qiu Yun refused to let them call them Manager Qiu, either call them brother-in-law after Fu Zhen, or call them brother after Qiu Lei , Mo Ru naturally called her brother-in-law.

The two bought a wall clock made in Yantai, and spent two and a half industrial coupons, and they also paid 16 yuan and 53 cents. I bought ten AA batteries, which cost 20 to 30 each.

Anyway, she put it in the space, and she is not afraid of power consumption when not in use.

There is a flashlight, sometimes it is much more convenient to go out, but the lantern is still not so convenient.

They went to Jimin Hospital to find Fu Zhen, put everything in Qiu Yun's place, and he would bring it back after get off work at noon.

Fu Zhen is already a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology after returning from the provincial capital.

It was a pleasure to meet, and to reminisce.

Fu Zhen smiled and said, "I took the time to go to Zhoujia Village to play with you guys."

Mo Ru was very happy, "You come over that weekend, stay for two days and then come back to work."

Fu Zhen was very moved, although the people in the city were full of She looked down on the countryside and felt dirty and poor, but she liked Zhoujia Village very much, and she always felt that the lively and lively things would not bother her.

She nodded, "Then I'll disturb you later when I'm free." When it was time to get

off work, a few people went to Qiu Yun's house.

Fu Zhen's family also lives in the county party compound, but her father was appointed to the local office.

Her brother and sister-in-law all work in the county public security bureau, and they eat in the cafeteria three times a day. The children are all at school and kindergarten, and there is no one at home during the day.

Unlike rural communes, the city does not say that "the public canteen is the heart of the people's commune." All the people must eat canteens. The cafeterias in the city are basically serving the employees of the unit. They can transfer the food relationship to the cafeteria to eat, or they can open a meal at home by themselves, and there is no requirement.

For example, Qiu Yun and Fu Rong have a couple at home because they are not busy at work, and Qiu's mother can help them cook at home.

Fu Zhen went to the cafeteria to get his own meals and went with them to his sister's house.

There is a fence outside the family compound, a guard at the main entrance, rows of red brick and tile houses inside, and a circle of poplars and willows outside the fence. The street trees in the compound are mainly sycamore and acacia.

In the family compound of the county party committee, Mo Ru and Zhou Ming have come here more and more, and they also ate at Qiu Yun's house, so they are not unfamiliar.

At this time, it was when the peach blossoms were red and the locust blossoms were white. Strings of snow-jade-like locust blossoms hung down from the green leaves, and there were still many white flakes of poplar flowers floating in the air, which were blown by the wind to the side of the road and some Grass clippings are mixed together, white fluffy like snow.

"Ah!" Mo Ru couldn't help sneezing.

All the big trees in the countryside were cut down, saving the trouble of catkins flying in February and Yang Maofei in April.

Fu Zhen asked with concern: "Aren't you allergic?"

Mo Ru shook his head and smiled: "No, a hairy just happened to fly into the nose."

Zhou Mingyu: "Just bought a mask."

Fu Zhen: " The mask is not good, I'm panicking, I have several scarves, and one that I haven't worn is just for Mo Ru."

Along the way, someone held a pole to hook the acacia flowers, and when they arrived at the door of Qiu Yun's house, they found that Qiu Lei also led the way. Hooking with two children.

Zhou Qiqi was very excited. He carried a branch and licked the locust flower and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet.

Beside her, Qiu Heng was wearing a large mask, covering his mouth and nose tightly, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes with a lifeless posture.

He is allergic to pollen, but those flowers are fine. After all, there are not so many pollen particles in the air, but catkins and poplar hairs give him nowhere to escape.

He didn't go to school these days, also because he was not well taken care of by the kindergarten who was allergic to Yanghua, so Mother Qiu simply let him stay at home.

Zhou Qiqi glanced at him and raised his little hand, "You eat, but it's delicious, we don't have it in the countryside."

The big trees in the countryside have all been cut down, and the small trees haven't grown up, so they haven't bloomed yet.

Hey, it really delays her eating good food.

Qiu Heng shook his head, and when he saw Fu Zhen and the two coming, his eyes lit up and he waved at them, successfully escaping Zhou Qiqi's generosity.

Seeing her parents coming, Zhou Qiqi jumped over happily, and took the initiative to say hello to Fu Zhen, "Auntie, the scarf is so beautiful!"

Fu Zhen smiled and said, "We Qiqi, this little mouth, don't know what to do. , I apply three catties of honey every day, and Aunt Huihui will give you one, so you can wear it when you go home."

Zhou Qiqi shook his head, "Auntie looks good, I don't wear it."

Several people laughed.

Qiu Lei happened to hook a large piece of branch down and shouted: "Fu Zhen, come and help."

Fu Zhen glanced at him, "You can do it yourself."

They all tied iron hooks to slender poplar poles On, hook the locust branch with a hook, and twist it hard to break the branch, where do you need her help?

She called Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu into the house.

Zhou Mingyu untied the basket tied to the side of the bicycle's back seat, Mo Ru quietly put eggs and mushrooms in it, and Zhou Mingyu brought it to the house when it was done.

While Fu Rong was busy in the kitchen, Mother Qiu came out to pick up the locust flower with a dustpan.

Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru greeted her, and Mother Qiu said happily: "I told you two, come here, bring whatever you want, the food in the countryside is so tight now."

Mo Ru smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, this is our own chicken raising. I came out of the farm and the mushroom greenhouse, and I didn't want to bring any food, so I can only give you some of this to taste."

There were eggs, mushrooms and a little rooster in the basket.

Chickens are rare, eggs are a good thing, but they are a little worse than mushrooms.

The mushrooms were sent from the Hongqi Commune to the department store. When they were sent to the canteen of the county party committee and the courtyard, they were gone. They couldn't go to the vegetable market at all, and many people couldn't buy them if they wanted to.

The two of them also gave it to them before, and they can often eat it. The rareness is the most expensive, which made several neighbors particularly jealous, and made Qiu's mother face.

The two exchanged a few words and said hello to Father Qiu. They learned that he went to the prefectural committee for a meeting and would not come back after a while.

Qiu's mother whispered: "I hold this meeting and that meeting all day, and I don't know what I'm busy with, and I don't understand what democracy and supplementary classes are talking about."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Mingyu smiled, "Uncle Gen Hongmiao Yes, don't be afraid of the meeting."

Qiu Mother nodded, "Anyway, be careful."

Zhou Mingyu knew that she didn't say it casually, so he was naturally grateful for her reminder, after all, Mo Shujie was still a middle peasant.

They rolled off the locust flower, washed it, drained it, then mixed it with cornmeal, sprinkled it with salt and a little sugar, and spread it on a grating for steaming.

It's cooked right out of the pot, and it tastes sweet and delicious.

Mother Qiu said to Mo Ru: "The elm rice is also delicious, but the elm tree attracts insects. We don't have any in the county. You should have more."

Mo Ru said: "Basically all the trees in our village have been cut down, and there is only one in my house. Now that the season is over, we will give some to my aunt to eat next year."

"Aiya..." Ms. Li didn't say it, but she felt a pity. She didn't murmur a few words, but she didn't say much, and her ideological awareness was there.

Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu followed Fu Zhen to the kitchen to say hello to Fu Rong, and then Zhou Mingyu went outside to help Lu Huaihua, while Mo Ru helped to cook.

Fu Rong didn't let Mo Ru touch her hands, "Zhenzhen, you accompany Mo Ru to talk outside, the coal stove here is choking, and it will be fine in a while."

Mo Ru followed Fu Zhen to call the second sister, "Second sister, we need the briquettes and the stove. How to buy it?"

Fu Rong said: "The stove is easy. Go to the iron shop to make one. It's the briquettes that are troublesome. This year, they will be purchased and sold. They have to be delivered by the book. One person can count how many kilograms per month."

Mo Ru looked at the stove. The pig iron stove can still go out through the chimney, but the briquettes are like eggs, but they are not the honeycomb she thought.

She vaguely remembered that Zhou Mingyu said that there should be briquettes at this time.

Fu Zhen thought that Mo Ru did not like this thing, so he said, "Can't your paper mill apply for coal? Let my brother-in-law help you to build a stove, and you can build a stove in the house in winter, which is very convenient."

Mo Ru asked why No briquettes.

Fu Zhen didn't understand these things about firewood, rice, oil and salt. Fu Rong said: "Yes, from the region. Last year, we said that our county also changed the briquettes from briquettes, but the machines are not easy to enter, and the labor is too slow. It is estimated that it

will be about the same in the next year." Too slow, Moru didn't ask any more.

After a while, Qiu Yun came back and brought back what Mo Ru bought, and also took two bottles of sorghum wine from the county winery, and asked Zhou Mingyu to take it back to his father to drink.

He said: "I could have bought two more bottles, but now I'm nervous." In

the past two years, the winery was short of food, and the winery was unable to open, and the scale was continuously reduced.

Zhou Mingyu smiled and said, "Brother Qiu Yun, we don't drink alcohol at home. My father said that wine is the essence of grain, and a drop of wine will give you a handful of grain. He can't bear to drink it."

At this time, the food in the kitchen was ready, and there was meat on the stove. There was also a burst of aroma, and Qiu mother took the locust flower to steam it again, just a pot of boiling water, and it was good for a few minutes.

Although there are no vegetables in season yet, Fu Rong also made a table.

The staple food is the small flower rolls with thin noodles, the two-in-one cakes of thin noodles and corn, but there is no need to eat the sorghum noodles and dried sweet potatoes.

The dishes include scrambled eggs with toon sprouts, mushroom soup with leek and lard, braised pork with potatoes, braised mackerel, shrimp and spinach, as well as a plate of farmhouse sauce, sesame oil mixed with pickles.

Mother Qiu greeted everyone for dinner, she asked Zhou Qiqi to sit beside her, and Qiu Heng sat next to Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi looked at the big bowl of meat, "Wow~~ it's New Year's Eve!"

Mother Qiu gave her a piece of meat and a piece of mackerel meat before putting it into her bowl to see if there were no thorns.

Zhou Qiqi: "Grandma, you can eat it too!"

She took the chopsticks herself, skillfully put a piece of meat on Qiu's mother, and then winked at Mo Ru.

Mo Ru understood what she meant in seconds. It means that I am good at using chopsticks, so I can eat it myself.

She diligently put a piece of half-thin and half-fat pork belly for Qiu Heng, and smiled sweetly, "Little brother, eat meat, grow meat."

Qiu Heng looked at the oily piece of meat with a tangled expression. He glanced at Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his mouth was oily, "You eat it, Auntie's cooking is delicious."

Qiu Heng: "..."

Just as Mother Qiu was about to say that Liangliang would not eat meat, she The grandson was found frowning and put the piece of meat in his mouth.

"Oh, we have eaten meat in Liangliang." Mother Qiu said happily.

Qiu Yun and Fu Rong also thought it was incredible. Their son never liked meat or fish. He only ate very bland food, so he lacked nutrition. He didn't expect Zhou Qiqi to eat Jiarou.

Zhou Qiqi's eyes lit up, "Isn't it very fragrant!" Qiu Heng took a piece of fat and put it in a bowl for her, "Eat!" Zhou Qiqi's eyes brightened, "Wow, you gave me the best, thank you." She took another big piece of mackerel, "Eat the fish." 

Qiu Heng: "...!!!" I don't Eating fish has thorns and a fishy smell!

Zhou Qiqi put the piece of fat in his mouth and ate it fragrantly, and motioned to Qiu Heng, "You eat it, it's delicious!"

Qiu Heng felt a pain in his face, struggled a bit, and his hands began to tremble.

Looking at this posture, if he doesn't eat, will she still have to bite him?

He picked up the big piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth, vomit... It was so fishy, ​​I couldn't vomit, and I couldn't be ashamed!

Chewing mechanically, recalling the comic strips of Journey to the West in my mind, where is the delicious food, it is clearly some stones, toads, this fairy!

He swallowed hard and quickly took a bite of the steamed bun.

Qiu's mother was pleasantly surprised to find that her grandson would gulp down the steamed buns, and happily scooped him a small bowl of mushroom soup, "This is the mushroom that Qiqi's parents brought, it's delicious."

Zhou Qiqi nodded cooperatively. , "Eat more, grow fleshy." Seeing

her bright eyes, Qiu Heng had the illusion of growing fat and eating fleshy flesh, and his cold hairs stood up all of a sudden!

Qiu Heng found that she only eats meat, fish, eggs, and refuses to eat vegetables, so he gave her a chopstick of spinach, smiled slightly, "Seventh sister, you eat vegetables."

Zhou Qiqi: ...! ! !

I don't eat vegetables!

The people who make me eat are all bad people!

I am a meat eater!

She started chewing the steamed buns dry.

Qiu Heng: "Sister Qi, you eat vegetables."

Zhou Qiqi immediately put a large piece of fat in his bowl, "You eat!"

Qiu Heng suddenly felt nauseated.

Can't vomit!

Mo Ru may have been a little fat after eating a piece of meat just now, and her stomach was churning. Now, seeing Zhou Qiqi's fat meat, she felt disgusted, "Qiqi, brother can do it yourself, you can eat it yourself."

Zhou Qiqi started to cry when he looked at the big chopsticks and spinach.

~~~~(>_

Hate spinach!

Who knew that Qiu Heng gave her another chopstick and leek, smiling, "Sister Qi, leek is also delicious."

Zhou Qiqi immediately gave him the leek, "I eat it. Chives have diarrhea."

This was not allowed by her parents, so she was righteous.

Qiu Heng calmly ate the leeks and went to add spinach.

Zhou Qiqi's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted: "Oh, I'm full. Now, I'm going to wash my hands." He jumped down and ran out.

Qiu Heng quietly gave the piece of fat to his grandma, "Grandma, this piece of meat is the best, you can eat it."

The adults at the table chatted from time to time . They were all happy.

Fu Rong went to work after dinner, Qiu Yun and Fu Zhen entertained guests at home without any rush, Qiu Lei proposed to go to the movies, but Fu Zhen rejected it, and said to go out for a walk , was rejected by Fu Zhen again.

"Yang Maofeifei is annoying outside, how good it is to talk at home."

Qiu Lei could only be anxious, she kept holding Mo Ru while talking at home, and he could only chat with Zhou Mingyu Playing chess.

Fu Zhen led Mo Ru to Qiu Yun's study, and asked her to just pick a book and go back to read it, "No matter when, it's always right to read a book."

Mo Ru smiled, "Thank you so much, Qiu Lei every time. The books brought to me next time are very good." Fu Zhen asked Qiu Lei to get the books for Mo Ru and Zhou

Mingyu to read when he had time, and he naturally implemented them very seriously. There are several current novels, and she picked two. Fu Zhen went to the bookshelf to find a key, opened a box next to it, and took out a few books, "These bookstores don't allow them to be sold, you can take them back and read them. ."

Moru took a look. This set of "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace" were also considered books at this time.

She looked at it, and it was actually published more than 20 years ago.

After picking out the books, Fu Zhen asked Zhou Mingyu and Qiu Lei to play here. She took Mo Ru's house to the house, "Go get the gifts I brought you."

Qiu Lei: "I'll help you carry things."

Fu Zhen: "It's not about moving briquettes, I don't need it." After speaking, she took Mo Ru's arm and left.

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving hand in hand, Qiu Lei said, "Zhou Mingyu, your daughter-in-law will be kidnapped, are you in no hurry?"

Zhou Mingyu: "You are jealous of my daughter-in-law's charm."

Qiu Lei immediately put on a bitter face, "Well, I don't think

there is a mountain between us." Zhou Qiqi and Qiu Heng were playing with Xiaoba, she said, "Sit down!" Xiaoba Sit down immediately. "Stop!" Little Eight stood up.

Qiu Heng looked very curious, "You are very good."

Zhou Qiqi proudly said, "My grandfather and my little uncle are very good at training."

Qiu Heng asked about animal tame.

Zhou Qiqi thought of his uncle again, and began to talk to Qiu Heng about Mo Yingtang, "My uncle is handsome, even more handsome than Uncle Qiu."

When Qiu Lei heard this, he asked her where his uncle was. Next time Come and play together.

Zhou Mingyu: "I joined the army last year."

"Where are you?"

Zhou Mingyu shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't received a letter yet."

Mo Ru was still anxious about this, wondering how to settle it down. Letter, or the troops will not let you? Should not be ah. She also went to her mother's house to ask, but several of the soldiers who went to serve in the army did not send letters back, so everyone had to wait.

Qiu Lei said: "I will write to the trustee to help us find out. My cousin is in our provincial military region."

Zhou Mingyu wrote down Mo Yingtang's name, the time of enlistment, and his home address for him.

Mo Ru followed Fu Zhen to Fu's house.

The Fu family is in the same courtyard, the Qiu family is in the southwest corner, and the Fu family is in the northeast corner. This place is more secluded and quiet, and they are all small courtyards. Unlike the Qiu family, where several families live in one courtyard, the Fu family has its own courtyard. There is a large phoenix tree in the courtyard and two Xifu begonias, which are blooming brilliantly at the moment.

The soft pink mixed with the pink white is as delicate as the blush on the cheeks of a girl among the green leaves, which makes people love it.

Fu Zhen stood under the tree and waved to Mo Ru, "Look, you look like this begonia flower, white and pink, so pretty."

Mo Ru smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me, saying that you look like It's almost the same, we country people come and go in the mud, the morning glory is not bad."

Fu Zhen: "The morning glory is also very beautiful, pink and white."

She opened the door and led Mo Ru straight to her room, The rattan box on the wardrobe was removed, and Mo Ru was dragged to pick it.

When she met Fu Zhen for the first time, Mo Ru knew that she had an extraordinary style and must have a good family background. Later, when Fu Zhen went to live at her house, the things he brought with him seemed to be very unusual. Explain it all.

If the Qiu family is pretty good, then the Fu family is even better than the Qiu family.

But Mo Ru didn't care. She just got along with Fu Zhen, and she didn't think about what purpose she could achieve through Fu Zhen. Naturally, she didn't think much about it.

Fu Zhen brought a lot of things from the provincial capital, including vanishing cream, shampoo, toothbrush supplies, and beautiful floral cloth, as well as for Zhou Qiqi, and there was always a box.

She only had Mo Ru a month before the year before

: "...too many!"

Fu Zhen smiled and said, "What? It's all for daily use. It will be used up soon. I will buy it later."

She went to the drawer and took out a small box and handed it to Mo Ru, "This is also for you. "

Mo Ru opened it and saw that there was an exquisite lipstick inside. The golden metal tube was almost like a handicraft, and it could actually be rotated!

Chapter 214 Pregnant Again

   Mo Ru suddenly had a feeling that her two hundred lipsticks came back in an instant, and her heartbeat accelerated, but she had become accustomed to simplicity after crossing over.

Moreover, this kind of light luxury product, which has been criticized for its bourgeois atmosphere, is not sold in the county town.

"Fu Zhen, is this a lipstick? We country people are very dirty, how can we have a chance to wipe this, and we can't be caught as a way of production that yearns for capitalism. You don't know, there is a woman in our commune. It's scary to get caught and fight because of good looks, so let's keep it simple."

Mo Ru wanted to remind Fu Zhen that at this time, it's better to be low-key and plain, so as not to make people jealous and cause trouble.

She saw that Fu Zhen was wearing light makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and dignified, her hair was permed into slight waves, a little retro style, and she was naturally not wearing the people's Lenin workers' clothes on the street, but a cashmere knitted cardigan. Beige wide-leg pants.

Beautiful and elegant, this outfit is not out of date in the 21st century.

At this time, it was too eye-catching. After all, simplicity is the beauty now, and the female workers in the city are all dressed as workers, and the blue is protruding.

When the movement became more and more intense, in 1966, various campaigns to overthrow the petty bourgeoisie would be launched, and she could easily cause trouble.

Mo Ru didn't know the specific circumstances of Fu Zhen's family members, but seeing that they lived in such a yard, it must be very special, and Fu Zhen can naturally get some special protection.

However, she was still a little worried. After all, no one knew whether someone would be hurt by an arrow in the back, but she couldn't say it directly, and felt that she should find a way to persuade Fu Zhen.

Fu Zhen sneered, "Some bastards will bully women. They have forgotten the days when men put on rouge and powder? It's ridiculous that we won't let us put on rouge and powder at this time."

She thought that Mo Ru didn't understand this, so she didn't want to say scaring people, so she changed the subject and found a goose yellow scarf for Mo Ru, "This color is just right for you, just use it as a mask when it's windy. "

Moru couldn't bear to use such a good silk scarf as a mask.

She still refused on the grounds that she had no chance to use it, "Fu Zhen, you should give it to your sister and sister-in-law, I really can't use it, it's a waste for me."

Although she really liked that lipstick, but... Still have to do as the locals do.

And she wouldn't accept such an expensive gift unless it was given by Zhou Mingyu.

In the end, she picked out a few commonly used and unobtrusive ones, which can be bought from the county town after use up, instead of having to go to the provincial capital for replenishment.

Fu Zhen saw that she had chosen the cheapest and most common, and sighed, "I wanted you to take them all."

Mo Ru exaggerated: "How can I do it? I can't use it for ten years, it's all wasted. "

Fu Zhen said: "Wasting is better than some people taking it away."

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening, "Zhenzhen, are you back?"

Fu Zhen heard the second sister-in-law's voice and immediately closed the box and put it aside. , "Yeah, I'll bring Mo Ru over to play."

Chen Hongmei walked in with a smile, "Oh, what are you whispering about?"

She glanced at Mo Ru and the suitcase on the side, looking at Mo Ru's hand. The pile of things, the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.

The autumn wind is coming!

It was just a wink, and her smile didn't change. She greeted Mo Ru, "This is the number one model worker in our county. It's really bright. Stay for dinner at night, I'll go..."

"Second sister-in-law, no need , we'll be back in a while." Mo Ru said with a smile.

Chen Hongmei held her back twice when she saw that she refused, and then said angrily: "Look at you, I went to Qiu's house twice, and I didn't come to my house for dinner, and my sister-in-law didn't have the chance to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Fu Zhen immediately said: "Second sister-in-law, you should be careful about this, just hearing this is enough for you to make up for democracy lessons."

Chen Hongmei said aggrieved: "I didn't say anything... Ah, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future. "

Fu Zhen said again, "Second sister-in-law, now the school is all about the past and the present, and no one is allowed to learn any ancient texts and ancient books. You don't have to say anything about the text, so as not to let those who don't deal with you hear trouble. Chen Hongmei repeatedly said yes, "

Indeed, the second sister-in-law will pay attention in the future, pay attention, you must not give anyone a hand." She glanced at Mo Ru's feet, and then said: "Then I will pack some seafood and let the model worker take it back to taste." She didn't see the eggs and mushrooms that Mo Ru brought inside or outside the house ,

so she knew that they must all be taken to Qiu's house, and she was very unhappy.

She packed up a little dried fish, dried shrimps, and seaweed for Mo Ru to bring.

Fu Zhen reminded her, "Second sister-in-law, didn't eldest brother send back some shrimps and scallops, please bring some back to Mo Ru."

Chen Hongmei looked stiff and smiled, "I'll bring your second brother a snack... a snack. It's gone."

"Then what about the one I got someone to buy back? It's a few kilograms, and it's very expensive." Fu Zhen refused to let her go.

Chen Hongmei was even more embarrassed, "...that... I sent it to a few secretaries and the director's house to try, but the ones in the family is gone."

Fu Zhen raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Or she took it to her mother's house, not talking to herself.

Mo Ru knew that Fu Zhen and her second sister-in-law did not deal with it. Chen Hongmei was jealous of Fu Zhen's salary, she thought that she would not pay for her family every time, and she thought that she would not introduce herself to several other people, not to go on a blind date, not to marry. Occupy a room and so on.

But Fu Zhen thinks I'm in my own house, so fuck you! You were married, and the house was allocated like this before you. Could it be that it will be given to you when you come? If you have the ability, go out and divide the house by yourself!

So the aunt and sister-in-law didn't deal with it, but Chen Hongmei didn't say it directly.

Anyway, it's just disgusting to look at each other.

Mo Ru didn't want to intensify their conflict, and even refused to ask for these, "Second sister-in-law, we bought some ourselves, and we can't eat too much, so let's keep it." As a result, Chen Hongmei insisted on stuffing it into her hands. You have to laugh without laughing: "Why, as long as the model worker is Fu Zhen, he won't want my second sister-in-law." Just as Mo Ru was about to explain, a pungent fishy smell hit his face, and suddenly a burst of disgust came violently. Throat, she hurriedly said sorry, covered her mouth and rushed in and out.

Fu Zhen opened the package and flipped through it, frowning, "Second sister-in-law, you're on your mind, you don't eat this stuff very rarely, it's stinky, who do you give it to."

Seeing that Fu Zhen was unhappy, Chen Hongmei hurried He said with a smile, "Okay, it doesn't smell bad. Who knew that model workers are more squeamish than our city folks."

Fu Zhen ignored her and hurriedly took a teacup of water and went out to rinse Mo Ru's mouth.

Mo Ru was just disgusted and didn't spit it out. She said embarrassedly, "I guess I'm getting tired of eating fat."

Qiu Lei can be considered to have a little friendship with the vegetable market. Woolen cloth.

Fu Zhen looked at her, "Don't you have one?"

"Ah?" Mo Ru thought about it, no way, she had her menstrual period last month, and she said she had to buy two more sanitary belts.

Fu Zhen said: "It may be a small month, so I'll check again in two months."

Mo Ru felt that it was just because he was tired of eating meat and the taste just now was really weird, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Fu Zhen didn't let her into the room, so he packed a few things that Mo Ru had picked up in his schoolbag, and then stuffed the lipstick and silk scarf into it.

Standing outside the door, Chen Hongmei took a feather duster and deliberately swept a pair of hanging screens on the wall. She kept looking at Fu Zhen's house. She brought back so many good things, so she gave herself a bottle of face cream, but gave so much to an outsider!

Fu Zhen regardless of her, she remembered when she walked to the door of the room, turned back to Chen Hongmei and said, "Second sister-in-law, where are the lotus seeds they gave me?"

Chen Hongmei looked puzzled, "What lotus seeds, did you bring them back from the provincial capital? I didn't see it."

Fu Zhen saw her pretending to be stupid, and suddenly became angry, so she walked back into the room and his face sank, "Second sister-in-law, that lotus seed is useful to me, you should give it to me, don't wait for me to scold my second brother. ."

She never scolds Chen Hongmei, but she's not polite to scold her second brother.

Chen Hongmei then said embarrassingly: "No, Zhenzhen, I don't want your lotus seeds, I am..."

She couldn't make up any excuses for a while.

Fu Zhen was impatient: "Okay, you can give it to me."

Chen Hongmei had to go to her room and take it out, a total of three kilograms, and put it in a coarse cloth pocket.

Fu Zhen grabbed it and went out with his bag to greet Mo Ru and leave.

After going out, Mo Ru didn't say anything. The conflicts between aunts and daughters are similar to those of mothers and daughters. It's hard to tell what is right and wrong.

But he was also a little embarrassed because he intensified the conflict between them.

Back at Qiu's house, Zhou Mingyu saw that something was wrong with Mo Ru, so he rushed up to try her forehead, "What's wrong?"

Mo Ru smiled at him, "No."

Qiu Lei also asked with concern.

Fu Zhen glared at him, "It's not you, I thought everyone would rarely eat such fat."

Qiu Lei is very innocent, this is the best, does he buy that cheap and unbearable lean meat? It's not a slap in the face.

Although Fu Zhen suspected that Mo Ru was pregnant, but the time was short and uncertain, and even if it was certain, it was not appropriate to make a statement in the first three months, so he didn't say it, and let the couple speak for themselves.

Mother Qiu was also packing up things for the two to take back.

Mo Ru told her to be polite, they were all in short supply.

Mother Qiu said, "Our family's food is tight and shabby enough. There is nothing else, but there is still some seafood."

She packed up some shrimp, dried shrimp, squid and the like to bring to Mo Ru.

Fu Zhen looked at it, fortunately he didn't want the second sister-in-law, let's compare these, those are really not uncommon to eat.

Looking at the sun, it was almost half past two when Mo Ru said goodbye to Fu Zhen and the others.

Zhou Qiqi had dinner with Qiu Heng and played with Qiu Heng to read the comic book, and then fell asleep for a while. At this time, he woke up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and called his mother with a cute look.

Qiu Heng woke up earlier than her, it was fun to see her thinking about the stupid seventh sister like that, better than the bad one.

Mo Ru picked up her daughter, called Baba back, and the family said goodbye to them and went home.

Fu Zhen and Qiu Lei escorted them to the gate of the compound and watched them ride their bicycles away.

Qiu Lei: "Fu Zhen, let's go to the movies."

Fu Zhen rolled his eyes at him, "Are you stupid, the cinema closed two months ago."

Qiu Lei: "..."

Mo Ru was not sure about herself either . Is she really pregnant? After all, she had a big belly in her last pregnancy, and she had no experience in early pregnancy, so she didn't tell Zhou Mingyu.

Riding a bicycle all the way briskly, to the south of the village it was not dark.

In the spring, there is a lot of wind and sand, and there is a mixed smell of soil and vegetation in the air. When we entered the village, the smoke from the cooking above the canteen was curling up, and the village heard the cow's "moo" call.

After dinner, Zhou Mingyu took the wall clock to Zhou Chengzhi's house.

Zhou Chengzhi had just returned from the outside, barefooted, holding his trouser legs, carrying ragged straw sandals in his hands, and a copper-mouthed cigarette bag and pot with a ruler length inserted into his waist.

At this time, the spring planting of the Pioneer Brigade has ended, and now they are watering the wheat and digging the water storage well. Anyway, they cannot be idle for a day.

After dinner, Zhou Chengzhi had to arrange for someone to work overtime to water the wheat. In the past two years, Mo Ru has used insects and chemical fertilizers. The wheat of the Pioneer Brigade is not bad. The only drawback is that the weather is dry. Anyway, if there is water, if you water it, you will have a good harvest. Of course he wants to water it.

Looking at Zhou Mingyu holding a square thing, he wondered: "Red Carp, what are you holding?"

Zhou Mingyu: "...Master, you should call me by my name."

Zhou Chengzhi took the lead and entered the door, " I'm not what my husband's name is? Come in and tell me."

Zhou Mingyu: Mingming was also called Mingyu before, why is it now a red carp and a red carp? name! The girls all had a sudden realization, "Yuyuyu turns out to be a carp."

He Guilan and He Caihong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were washing clothes at home. When they were at work, they could not wait to wash their clothes twice a day. When they saw Zhou Mingyu come in, they all greeted him, wondering what he was holding.

It's a pity that it was held by a cloth sheet, and they couldn't guess what it was.

Entering the room, Zhou Mingyu put the wall clock on the kang, and said with a smile, "Uncle, it's for you."

Zhou Chengzhi took off his cloth hat and tugged at his short gray hair, "What is this?" Put the hat on On the kang, reached out and opened the cloth list.

Um?

Zhou Chengzhi felt dizzy, the light in the room was too dark, and it was not bright during the day, not to mention that it was dark and the lights were not lit.

The white dial of the wall clock shone in the darkness, making Zhou Chengzhi dizzy, he shouted, "Old lady, turn on the lights!"

He Guilan muttered, "What's the hurry, it's still dark."

She walked into the east room, took out a match from the match hole on the stove, and went into the room to light a kerosene lamp.

She struck a match, but she saw the object on the kang in the corner of her light, and turned to look at it, "Oh, mother, what is this?"

In the light of the fire, she saw a square box, a disc in the middle, and two more A piece of iron was lying on the kang, and it glowed strangely in the firelight.

She had never seen a wall clock, but she heard the old man nagging many times that it would be great if there was a wall clock in the team, so that she could know what time it was, and if it was cloudy and rainy, she would not miss the sun and miss work.

A match burned to the end, but she forgot to light the lamp, and hurriedly threw it away with an oops until her finger was burning.

He Guilan hurriedly lit the lamp, "Little Wu, this is what you and Nier bought from the county seat? What?"

Zhou Chengzhi had lost sight of his teeth, "Wall Clock, you are a mother-in-law, you really have long hair and short knowledge."

He Guilan: "Where did my hair grow? I found a bellows."

She went over to look at it, oh, it's really rare, "Xiao Wu, what's the use of this?"

Zhou Mingyu put the watch up and let Zhou Chengzhi support it , he opened the clock case below and took out a key-shaped metal chain device inside to wind the clock. The left and right holes are pushed upward to the right until they can no longer be twisted, then adjust the hour and minute hands, and then swing the pendulum below, and the wall clock starts to move "clack clap clap".

Zhou Chengzhi: "What time is it now, isn't it?"

Zhou Mingyu smiled and said, "It's about half past six when it's dark, or you can look at the sun tomorrow noon."

They don't have a radio either. , there is no other watch, and there is no loudspeaker, there is really no way to keep the time.

He Guilan laughed and said: "I bought a clock, but I can't buy the hour."

Zhou Mingyu: "Auntie, you are philosophical."

Zhou Chengzhi was so happy that he didn't care whether the time was right or not, as long as his team used this time to win.

He smiled and said: "Hong Lizi, go to the accountant to report the bill, and even report the money for the coupons."

Now the team is not short of money!

Instead, the money has nowhere to spend.

Oh, he wanted a wall clock for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't get a ticket, and the commune didn't give him a reward.

Zhou Mingyu took out the invoice and showed it to him, then went to Zhou Mingyue.

Of course he wouldn't give the production team a wall clock. Seventeen yuan, those industrial coupons are even more difficult to get.

He thought that if he could get industrial coupons, or get a batch of wall clocks to resell to various production teams, it would be a good business. It's a pity that there are not so many goods sold in the reform and opening up in the 1980s and 1990s. This wall clock is not enough to be sold in big cities.

As soon as he left, Zhou Chengzhi happily said to He Guilan: "Let the children go and call them, bring me that bottle of wine, I have to celebrate."

He Guilan, "Do you have to cook two dishes and two bowls of stew for you? ?"

Zhou Chengzhi didn't hear the run on him, he just smiled, "No, no, just get a plate of pickles and a salted egg."

He looked at and touched the wall clock, and couldn't help but secretly kissed him twice. As he watched, he hummed a little tune, and the sound of "tsk tsk" continued.

He Guilan: This is the tail.

She sent the child to call Zhou Chengyi, Zhou Chengren and others, and followed the captain to visit the new wall clock.

Zhou Mingyu left the captain's house and went to find Zhou Mingyue.

In the past, Zhou Mingyu would not go to work after work, so he could only wait for the next day. Today, after hearing that Zhou Mingyu bought a wall clock, he turned over and over excitedly with the invoice.

After reading it, I will reimburse Zhou Mingyu.

Part of the money in the team is stored in the rural credit cooperatives, part in the captain's house, the keys are with Zhou Mingyue and the custodian, and a small part, which is temporarily used by the accountant.

But Zhou Mingyue's money box, the key is in the custodian's hand, so he has to ask for it to open the box together.

After the reimbursement, Zhou Mingyu took the money to the house, and Zhou Ming read a few to look at the wall clock.

"It's still a good model worker. If we can't get an industrial voucher, a model worker can get it."

Zhou Mingyu went to the Nanwu first, and Mo Ru was there with Zhou Qiqi. She gave Zhang Cuihua a flashlight to wake her up at night. When the light is on, it will not fall again in the dark outside.

Going back in the evening, Mo Ru took out the gift from Fu Zhen and put it away. Naturally, she saw the lipstick and the scarf, and her heart suddenly became warm. Since it was Fu Zhen's kindness, she would put it away and use it again later.

Now she is most interested in the small bag of lotus seeds

. "Little Brother, can we try these lotus seeds?" Mo Ru poured the lotus seeds on the kang. .

There are many lotus flowers in the provincial capital, and they can also be planted locally.

It's just that Gaojin County lacks water, and some river bottoms are filled with stones rather than silt, so there are very few lotus plants in the area.

Especially now, Mo Ru has never been seen before going out.

Zhou Mingyu picked it up and looked at it, "It's all raw and can be planted completely, just need to find a suitable place."

"There are several places in the West River that can be planted."

The bottom of the river in the west and south is silt. The part I walked towards was basically a stone, but unfortunately it was all dry now. To plant lotus, Mo Ru had to find a way to release the water.

How can the two of them let the water quietly?

Zhou Mingyu: "Would you like to make the spring bigger? It overflows from a large well, as long as there is a piece of water to store it."

Mo Ru thought it was okay, "It's just not like this all at once, you have to take it slow, fill the well in the first two days, and then it can flow out."

Zhou Mingyu also felt that it was safe and would not cause anything.

"It's just these few days that I put lotus seeds in the well water in the space to promote germination." Mo Ru felt that mushrooms could be placed in the space to brew life, and lotus seeds would certainly be able to.

There are water basins and water tanks in the space, soak the lotus seeds directly, and plant them when the external conditions are ripe.

Early the next morning, when Zhou Chengzhi took someone to water the wheat, he found that there was too much water in the big well in the Xihe River. Originally there was only half of the water in the well, but now it looks like it has risen? ?

The members were amazed and said that it was really a precious spring.

Zhou Chengzhi shouted, "I know we need water urgently, so keep your spirits up and don't be lazy!"

Mo Ru put her daughter in the space while Zhou Qiqi fell asleep, and then went to Xihe with Zhou Mingyu. There is no entertainment at this time, digging ditches during the day and tired, basically sleeping soundly at nine o'clock in the evening, and their activities in the river will not attract much attention.

Mo Ru first drained the water, and when the riverbed was full of water, she and Zhou Mingyu planted the lotus seeds in the mud and poked the lotus seeds deeply with a stick, so that they would not be wasted by drifting into the cracks of the stones and not germinating.

Most of the lotus seeds are planted in the Xihe River, and the rest are scattered in the ditch behind their house to decorate the environment.

Of course, they plant lotus flowers not just to look good, but mainly to grow lotus roots, which are more productive than sweet potatoes, rich in nutrients and delicious in taste.

If the lotus root is harvested, it will be more nutritious than radish and cabbage.

Zhou Mingyu said that during the three-year difficult period, the south was better than the north. One reason was that there was more water in the south, there were more aquatic products in the river, and many animals and plants were edible.

If there is a place with mountains and rivers, it will be easier. If the policy is slightly loosened, there will be basically no starvation.

Mountains, they don't need to think about it. Apart from a few ancient kings' tombs, Gaojin County does not even have a small hill.

She also doesn't have the ability to build a mountain, so she can only think about it.

In fact, the province's topography is still very rich, including mountainous areas, hills, coastal areas, and plains, but Gaojin County is a thoroughly plain area.

Now that she has space to keep water in the river, it's good. As long as the water keeps flowing, there will be more animals and plants in the water. If she finds a way to get some fish fry, river shrimp, and river crabs to keep in it, it can also enrich the dining table of the members.

After planting lotus seeds, Mo Ru went to sprinkle some water every day to moisten it, and then slowly flooded the well and then stored water in the river.

Zhou Mingyu remembered the matter of the democratic supplementary course that Qiu mother told him, and after two days, he discussed with Mo Ru to go to Mojiagou.

The so-called democratic supplementary course is to supplement the rich, anti-bad and rightist elements that have been missed from the previously divided components, and re-supplement the components. This is also a very serious matter. Once it is reclassified as a fish that slips through the net, it will definitely be much more powerful than the whole bucket before.

Zhou Mingyu was very worried about Mo Shujie's problem, so he had to pass a letter first, and then went to the commune and Mojiagou to find out the news.

According to his knowledge reserve, the democratic supplementary course actually officially started in November in the second half of this year, but according to Qiu's mother, he felt that Qiu's father went to the prefectural committee to hold a meeting to discuss the democratic supplementary course.

So the two went to Mojiagou by bike again. Mo Shujie was not at home as usual, so Zhou Mingyu and Shen Shujun had a good chat.

Shen Shujun is more cautious than Mo Shujie, it is better to talk to her.

After talking about this matter, Zhou Mingyu told him that Qiu Lei would help him inquire about Mo Yingtang, so that the family would not have to worry about it.

Looking at her daughter and son-in-law, Shen Shujun secretly rejoiced that if Zhou Mingyu hadn't taken Ni'er away, her family would not have improved like this. With the Cui family under pressure, they would not be able to eat enough to eat and fight all day long, not to mention being a soldier or a veterinarian, not even speaking aloud.

So she clearly knew that her daughter and son-in-law were her family's support, "Mingyu, my parents are very grateful for you to say this, but my parents also said what they said. Don't move forward, remember?"

Zhou Mingyu knew what she was thinking, in order not to worry her, he naturally said everything.

After talking about the business, they stayed for a while, and went to the brigade to book this year's wheat straw with the Mojiagou brigade.

Anyway, his brigade didn't have enough wheat grass, so he had to buy outside. He bought Mojiagou's so he would have an open relationship and have the opportunity to test them.

Cui Faping was very happy, and he made a decision without asking Cui Fahou for instructions. Anyway, this was to make money for the brigade, not to harm the interests of the Cui family, so he decided.

Zhou Mingyu also signed a purchase contract with them in a decent manner. The contract was stamped with the seal of the Pioneer Brigade and the supply and marketing cooperative, and he paid a deposit of five yuan.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Mingyu declined Cui Faping's invitation to stay for dinner, went back to Mo's house to say goodbye to Shen Shujun and his second brother, and took Mo Ru and his daughter back to Zhoujia Village.

On the way back, Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru discussed, "Let's go to the commune later to find out."

They have a very good relationship with the commune now, especially Lin Shu, who chats like friends, and does not shy away from many things They have the feeling that they are two model workers as commune office staff.

Mo Ru laughed lowly: "Thankfully Secretary Gao rewarded us with a bicycle, otherwise there is such a speed, God must bless Secretary Gao with good luck and good health!" The

two laughed.

Zhou Qiqi, who was sitting in her arms, also learned new words, "Official luck... prosperous..."

Mo Ru warned her, "Qiqi, you can't say it in front of outsiders."

This child has a small mouth. What to listen to and what to learn, she must tell her what to say not to go out. Fortunately, Zhou Qiqi is very sensible. As long as her mother warns her, she can remember it and never reveal a word, so Mo Ru is not worried about her eloquent mouth.

Zhou Qiqi agreed very happily.

Mo Ru wanted to send her to the space for a nap, but who knew that Zhou Qiqi would not, and insisted on eating dried meat.

The dried meat was made for her by Mo Ru herself. She chopped the fat and thin meat, added salt, sugar, sesame and other seasonings, mixed well, and then spread it on a grating to bake.

Although it is dried meat, it tastes tender and elastic, and it does not require any teeth at all. Zhou Qiqi likes it very much.

Mo Ru gave the meat to her daughter.

Zhou Qiqi held a piece and handed it to Mo Ru's mouth, "Mother, you eat first." The smell of meat that was originally tangy now turned very fishy, ​​and Mo Ru's stomach suddenly turned into nausea.

Zhou Qiqi looked at Mo Ru in confusion, "Mom~~"

Zhou Mingyu stopped the bicycle, "I'm not feeling well again? Let's go directly to the Commune Health Center."

Mo Ru was a little convinced now, "You Say, did I... have?"

"What... ah? Really?" Zhou Mingyu hurriedly hugged his daughter, which made Zhou Qiqi very dissatisfied and pouted at him.

Seeing his nervous look, Mo Ru smiled and said, "It's alright, don't be nervous." The two muttered a few words and decided to get in the car and go to the Commune Health Center. It seems to have forgotten her, and she is very anxious.

Zhou Ming was more afraid that Mo Ru was tired and asked her to put Zhou Qiqi in the space.

Zhou Qiqi, who was put into the space, stomped her feet anxiously, "What's the matter?"

Why didn't anyone tell her?

What's wrong with mom, is she sick?

Hmph, angry!

Zhou Qiqiyi's anger had serious consequences. As soon as she stomped her foot, the Yuhuan Jing hula skyrocketed, and the entire space changed one after another.

Chapter 215 Skyrocketing and Legends

  As soon as the space changed, Mo Ru immediately sensed it, and her consciousness scanned over it. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh."

Zhou Ming became more concerned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mo Ru excitedly grabbed his waist, "Little one. Fifth brother, the space has been upgraded again!"

She didn't know when her space was upgraded and what the upgrade conditions were, and God didn't give her a space user manual, everything was purely based on daily use to explore.

It has changed silently at this moment - Zhou Qiqi is angry, in her opinion, it is as noisy as before, nothing special at all.

She was busy scanning her space and didn't pay attention to what her daughter was doing.

First of all, the space has expanded a lot, unlike the previous container space, which is now eight or nine times larger, and the sky is higher and more open, even wider than before.

The originally gray walls seemed to have light and hazy patterns, and the light of Yingying slowly flowed through, which looked very beautiful.

Is this decorated?

Zhou Qiqi's room was correspondingly larger, and the Yuhuan well inside was several times larger. It used to be half a foot, but now it looks like a meter.

The wellhead that was originally flat like a mirror now has tiny ripples and a little bit of starlight flickering, and there is even the sound of Lingling water, which makes Mo Ru feel very magical.

What's even more amazing is that this well is like a water mirror printed on the floor of the space. The water surface is level with the wellhead, but the water will not overflow, and the things outside will not fall.

Mo Ru used her consciousness to communicate with Yuhuanjing, and she felt clearer and more sensitive in control. She tried to let the water drop drop by drop from her fingertips, and then tried to make it gradually thicker.

Micro manipulation is more powerful!

She can also use the space to communicate with the spring that goes out at seven or seven o'clock, and use the space to control the size of the spring. Just make the spring a little bigger, let the water fill up early, and plant lotus flowers.

She also wanted to test how powerful she was, so she made that spring bigger... bigger... bigger...

Zhou Qiqi also kept stomping, stomping, stomping...

Suddenly, Mo Ru felt that the spring. It skyrocketed at an uncontrollable speed in an instant! ! Suddenly there was a feeling of opening the gate to release the flood, which shocked her, and immediately knew the problem, "Qiqi, stop!"

...

At the same time, Zhoujiacun.

Zhou Chengzhi and his people are digging a ditch, and they want to dig the Xihe from the back of the village to the east. Because there are no ditches and wells in the fields to the east of Zhoujia Village, there is no water storage. Very inconvenient.

They dug the canal first, and then went to the east to dig a large well for water storage.

There is no drainage ditch in the village, and it is often poured into the house during the flood season. If the ditch on the east side is dug well, there will be a river ditch surrounding the whole village, and then the water on both sides of each avenue will be communicated, and the village will not be flooded by heavy rain.

If it can be dug well, the village capacity of Zhoujia Village will be improved by a big step.

While he was busy, Zhou Chenglian heard the sound of rushing water, and couldn't help but glanced westward, and found that there were sparkling waves in the direction of the West River glistening in the sun.

Dazzled yourself?

There is no water there, where is the light coming from?

Zhou Peiji saw him standing there in a daze, and smiled: "you miss your wife, you stay like that."

Zhou Chenglian murmured: "Is there something wrong with my eyes?"

Wen Yan Zhou Peiji also set up a pergola to look over, and then his face changed, "It's not that you have a problem with your eyes, it's that our spring eyes are so scary."

Why did you suddenly grow up! !

He threw the shovel at random, pulled his feet and ran towards the Xihe.

Zhou Chenglian also quickly followed. Others didn't know what he was doing, so they all shouted: "What are you doing, don't be lazy!"

Someone soon noticed the difference, "Oh my mother, what's the matter!"

"Captain , Captain, our spring, spring!"

"The spring will grow too?"

After a while, the banks of the West River were crowded with people.

Zhou Chengzhi's eyes widened, and the hands that had been behind his back were now rubbing nervously, "What's the matter?"

Could it be that the old dragon king heard his prayer?

Since the spring was dug out, Zhou Chengzhi has not been praying quietly for a day, praying that the spring is a little bigger in the dry season and smaller in the waterlogged season.

He would quietly burn a few pieces of paper money every few days for a plate of scrambled eggs and a bowl of wine.

He watched the water in the deep well rush up and rush into the West River, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Originally, this spring has always maintained a semi-ping pond, not more or less, if you don't pull the water, it will not be full, and the ground will not be less if you pull water every day.

That's why he felt too much water this morning, and wondered if he was dazzled.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, it rushed up like a gate, and when the well was full, it emerged and hurriedly flowed into the low-lying river.

Unheard, unseen!

"Ow~Ow~~~" the villagers cheered, "Lord Dragon is so pitiful for us, he sent us water again!"

This year is as dry as last year, there is no water in the river, and the riverbed is terribly dry and cracked.

At this moment, the spring water was rushing down, and the cracked river bed was like a hungry fish, gulping down the sweet spring water.

Slowly, the water in the river became more and more, and soon it was connected with the water bubbles at the bottom of the river west of Mo Ru's house.

The water level continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, making people suspect that the West River was as small as a water jar, and the water level was about to overflow the river bank and flood into the village.

"Ah!!" The members shouted, "It's ruined, it's going to be flooded."

...

"Zhou Qiqi, stop for me!"

Mo Ru gave Zhou Qiqi as soon as she became conscious. hold out.

Zhou Mingyu couldn't hear Mo Ru's movement after hearing that the space was upgraded. He knew that she was busy, and he never bothered. Hearing her angry at this moment, he immediately asked aloud.

Mo Ru: "Our daughter is acting as a demon!"

Without Zhou Qiqi's chaos, the expansion of the spring immediately overwhelmed Mo Ru's mind, and she quickly manipulated the spring to make it smaller...small...smaller.

She didn't know what was going on in the West River at all, she just felt that the spring eyes were too big for her.

Sitting in her arms, Zhou Qiqi did a bad accident and pretended to be innocent. He hugged Zhou Mingyu's waist and put his small face on his waist, "Dad, are you tired? I'll beat your waist."

Zhou Mingyu knew that she must have done something bad.

Mo Ru restored the spring to a size that she could control at will, and found that she could actually recover some of the spring water through the spring! Suddenly, she was extremely surprised. Before, she could only stand in the river to collect and release water, but now she can control it directly through the spring.

Simply... incredible! ! !

Goldfinger is going against the sky!

She didn't know how much water the spring was so big just now. She thought that it might be a bit out of line, so she wanted to take back a part of it, so as not to cause too much water to attract too much attention.

They weren't at home anyway, so it wouldn't count on them if there was anything to attract attention.

She hadn't been to the village yet, so naturally she didn't know that the water in the West River was full.

Fortunately, the embankment in the village is higher than the other side, so the river flows directly to the west and north, and does not overflow into the village.

The members of the Pioneer Brigade were completely stunned, no one knew what was going on, how could such a miraculous thing happen under their own eyes.

Is it really the appearance of the ancestors?

Because the river just flooded up and poured the ancestral burial ground on the west bank, and then slowly retreated, there was no harm.

The land where the ancestral graves are located originally only had some trees, some fruits and vegetables, and every time the land was watered, only the vegetable garden was watered, and there was no large-scale watering, so it was more dry than other fields in the village.

It was flooded with water at the moment, but it was just right to be wet, and then after pouring over the ancestral cemetery, the river slowly... retreated... retreated...

Finally, the water stopped at half of the place, just before Mo Ru. Under the big washing stone west of the house.

The members were completely speechless as they watched all this helplessly.

Can't get back to God for a long time. The old man with the old man had already started to kneel
and kowtow, muttering: "The Dragon Lord has manifested... The Dragon Lord has manifested." After all, Zhou Chengzhi was the captain, he dealt a lot with the commune, and he still had political consciousness. 

He immediately shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing, just look at it carefully, don't make a fool of yourself, what are you doing in a weird way?" He knew that this news couldn't be concealed. There was no other way, he had to beat, "Don't be silly when you go out." Zhou Chenglian immediately said, "It's such a good thing, let's just have fun, and wait for others to dig our springs? The good things in the village, who are the sinners of the whole village!"

The old secretary Li Baiqing immediately told a few legends and stories from the books on the spot, such as the bald-tailed old Li, the black dragon pool, the little white dragon, the dragon girl, the Nezha troubled by the sea, and so on.

Most of the members present were illiterate, and they only listened to a few stories and watched a few plays in their lifetime, and they all searched for any legends that matched the local ones, so that they could secure a mysterious shell.

Of course, the Pioneer Brigade can't hide it. Even if they don't spread it themselves, people from other villages will find out that it doesn't work if it doesn't rain. How come there is a river of water in their river?

Later, the news will spread quickly, and everyone will naturally be curious to inquire.

Some people in the pioneer brigade said that their spring eyes were old and powerful, and some said that they didn't know what was going on.

They also adhere to the principle of low-key, no one talks nonsense, and most of them are vague, but people from other villages are not under pressure. They are boring and boring all year round, and rely on new things in the countryside to make fun.

Naturally at this moment, they have spared no effort to publicize and fabricate. The ancestors, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the Little White Dragon, and the Little Dragon Girl have all come out, and they are so amazing.

Someone said, "It's really a big black dragon. I have seen it all, and I can see it from a dozen miles away. The black dragon's tail is hidden in the sky, and the dragon's head is facing the big well, and it starts to spit water...

" There is a white dragon living there, and the weather is dry and the white dragon is suffocated, so he releases water by himself, the more and more... You say, if it wasn't for another dragon, why wouldn't the spring stop? It's getting bigger and bigger?

" Yes, it became more and more miraculous, and the commune sent Gao Yufei and other technicians to investigate.

Want them to see if it is the problem of spring, or some superstition, or if there is some natural disaster?

Not an earthquake or anything like that!

However, they couldn't figure out anything, and in the end they could only guess that it was caused by the sudden increase in the attraction of the spring.

They looked for a good water diver to take a look, but they couldn't see anything. Even if there was a spring below a well more than ten meters deep, what could they see?

Finally had to give up.

Therefore, this story has been spread more and more mysterious by the nearby members. They all say that there is a little dragon lurking in the Xihe of the Pioneer Brigade, just like there is a bald-tailed old Li in the Black Dragon Pool.

They saw it with their own eyes! !

This little dragon was very shy. At first, his mana was weak. Now that he grew up, he filled the entire Xihe with water. This will hide its whereabouts from being seen lurking at the bottom of the deep well.

Later, many literati writers came to collect and inquire, and wrote a lot of literary works, which were also put on the stage and the big screen, among which the most famous is "Little Dragon Girl".

This is a later story.

Besides, Mo Ru was afraid that Zhou Qiqi would cause trouble and did not go to the commune, so Zhou Mingyu hurried back to the village to have a look, but when he entered the village, he didn't meet anyone.

Zhou Mingyu wondered, "Where have all the people gone?"

Even when the farming was busy, there were still children running around in the village.

Mo Ru's heart skipped a beat, it must be the girl who manipulated Quanyan just now and caused trouble again, so she urged Zhou Ming to hurry up.

I really didn't meet a single person along the way, but when I got to the entrance of the village, I found that the west side was crowded with people, as if the whole village had gone there.

They also hurried over, just in time to see Wu Mei and a lot of people gathered there pointing and pointing. Everyone was either dumbfounded or frantic, and they were very nervous.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Wu Meiying said excitedly when Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru came back, "But we have seen a miracle, our spring is blowing water today, look, this West River is full all of a sudden. ."

Although he retreated a little more, it was still a lot... ah!

Mo Ru lowered her head and glared at her daughter.

Zhou Qiqi lowered his head and pointed at his chubby finger, looking very well-behaved and innocent.

Zhou Mingyu went over to take a look. He didn't know if he didn't see it. He was really startled when he saw it.

He only listened to Mo Ru saying that the space was upgraded, and Yuhuan Well was also upgraded. He also said that he could better control the size and size of the spring. He just listened to her, and he didn't feel too intuitive.

Right now... I really feel it.

The couple went home silently with their children.

Everyone was attracted by the suddenly swollen water of the West River, and didn't pay attention to them.

When he got home, Zhou Mingyu opened the door, Mo Ru walked in quickly with his daughter in his arms, Zhou Mingyu pushed the car in, and closed the door.

Week Seven Seven: (⊙o⊙) Oh! Also closed! No!

She looked at Zhou Mingyu with tears in her eyes: "Dad~~ Help~~"

Chapter 216 Ruthless

    Zhou Mingyu looked at her pitiful appearance, his heart was so soft that he couldn't hold it, and he squeezed Mo Ru's waist quietly, "Wife?"

Mo Ru: "I have to make a good deal with Zhou Qiqi for three chapters!"

Zhou Qiqi: "Mom, don't fight~~" Entered the room and closed the door.

Stand up! !

Mo Ru: "Without mother's permission in the future, you can't change things in the space at will."

Zhou Qiqi: "En, mother is right."

"You can't use your skills in front of outsiders to make such a big deal like today. No movement!"

Zhou Qiqi: "How about mother watering the ground to catch worms?"

Mo Ru: "..."

How should she tell Zhou Qiqi?

Don't look at Zhou Qiqi's inability to understand so much, but she is very good at refuting.

Zhou Mingyu saw that Mo Ru was a little helpless, and said: "Qiqi, mother is sure that no one will know, and if you can't grasp it now, it will cause panic. If anyone is suspected, our family will be finished. Do you want to be taken and locked up?"

Zhou Qiqi shook her head vigorously, "No, no, no!"

She immediately remembered the man she saw when she went to the commune, shaved his head, had a big sign hanging around his neck, and twisted his arms back and tied up. He was escorted around, and many people scolded him and beat him.

If I and my mother were like this...(⊙o⊙) Oh!

Scary!

do not want!

Zhou Mingyu turned pale with fright when he saw his daughter's little face, and immediately felt guilty for a while, and hurriedly picked Zhou Qiqi up, "It's alright, my father will protect you and mother, and no one can take you away."

Zhou Qiqi immediately nestled in On his neck, he twitched, "Dad~~ Qiqi will never dare again~~"

Zhou Mingyu looked at Mo Ru, "...Wife?"

This girl admits her mistakes very sly. Although she knows her mistakes, she will correct them, but she will make other mistakes. Mo Ru feels that she must find a way to let her know that similar mistakes cannot be made, instead of making mistakes. Just which one cannot be done.

What else did she have to say when someone called her outside, "Ni'er, Ni'er!"

Mo Ru said, "Forget it now, I'll tell you later." She opened the door and went out.

Seeing her go out, Zhou Qiqi was lying on Zhou Mingyu's shoulder and his small body twitched, Zhou Mingyu slapped her lightly, and said in a low voice, "It's almost done."

Zhou Qiqi covered her face with a muffled laugh , where is a tear!

"Thank you dad~~" She smiled sweetly, kissed Zhou Mingyu on the cheek, took out a piece of orange-flavored candy from her pocket, peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into Zhou Mingyu's mouth, "Please eat candy. At this time, Mo Ru called him in the yard, and Zhou Mingyu was holding Zhou Qiqi to go over.

Zhou Qiqi immediately said that she would go to the ground, so she would not join in the fun and be trained. She wanted to go out to play.

She ran to her candy box and grabbed a few pieces of candy and stuffed it into her pocket. Although Mo Ru did not allow her to eat too much, she promised to keep it in her pocket and she would not eat much, and she could invite others to eat it. No objection.

So the half catty of candy that Qiu Lei bought was not confiscated, it was all in the candy box on Zhou Qiqi, and she had to count it every day.

She summoned the left and right guardians with sugar in her hand, "Eight-eight, nine-nine, GO!"

Dad taught her.

Mo Ru reminded her in the yard, "Don't go to the West River!"

She now knew that her daughter was not afraid of water, and it was fine to fall into the river, but it was easy to attract attention.

Zhou Qiqi responded, "Go to Grandma" and ran out with his chubby legs. After a while, it was quiet.

As soon as the girl left, Mo Ru sighed with Zhou Mingyu, "It's so quiet."

Zhou Mingyu: "My daughter and mother are watching, let's go to the commune, and stop by the health center to check."

Mo Ru said: "Let's go to the commune, the health center probably doesn't need to go, I have a certain feeling now."

She shook her hand . Holding Zhou Mingyu's hand, she smiled and said, "I really have a baby."

She was not sure before, but after experiencing the upgrade of the space just now, she suddenly felt that she was really pregnant!

Even the space upgrade may have something to do with the baby. She guessed that maybe because there was another baby who needed to live in a bigger house, the space was upgraded all at once.

Zhou Mingyu was very happy and discussed whether to talk to Zhang Cuihua.

"Let's not worry, let's talk about it after three months." When the month is small, it may not be able to keep it, or superstitiously say that the month is easy to be missed by something, so it can't be publicized, and it will be released after three months.

At this time, it was also time for dinner. They went to the cafeteria to eat first. They didn't see Zhou Qiqi. I heard that they were playing with Chrysanthemum.

After dinner, the two went to the commune by bicycle. They first went to Lin Shu, brought him some mushrooms and eggs, and reported the recent situation of the Pioneer Brigade.

Zhou Mingyu said with a smile: "Director Lin, you know my father-in-law's situation. His background was not very good. His ancestor was a landlord, but my father-in-law has a right mind and demands progress

. Those who were made up for the status of landlords and rich peasants basically lived their lives according to their duties, but unfortunately there was no way to appeal.

Since they could talk to the commune, Zhou Mingyu naturally wanted to help Mo Shujie.

Lin Shu said: "Don't worry, our commune has always been fair and just, and you have seen it since Secretary Liu took office."

He seldom engages in such nonsense.

Mo Ru smiled and said: "Yes, all of us are grateful to Secretary Lin. He is a good cadre who supports the party, the country and the people. We love him from the bottom of our heart, so we are very motivated every day and must continue to strive to be a model worker. "

Lin Shu was naturally very happy to hear what she said.

They all felt that Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu were simple and loyal members. They didn't have any scheming, they didn't know how to communicate, they couldn't speak, they were simple and transparent, and they could say what they said, even asking for pork and rewards from the secretary.

With the assurance of goodwill from Lin Shu, the two put aside their worries for the time being and went home.

In the days that followed, the members were busy digging water storage wells, while Mo Ru was still catching bugs everywhere. Her own group had too few bugs and had to go to a nearby group to catch them.

There are so many chickens in the chicken farm.

Everyone knew that she was good at picking up bugs, so everyone in the other brigade greeted her happily when they saw it, and welcomed her to pick up bugs in their fields.

Now Mo Ru can get not only the plants, the ground, but also the insects in the ground, and the pests are almost wiped out wherever they pass.

So she had to leave some by the river and in the grass, and couldn't take it all, lest there would be no bugs to feed the chickens.

Fortunately, the pests have a particularly strong ability to reproduce, and when the temperature and humidity are suitable, they will be one after another in a blink of an eye.

A few days later, when Zhou Chengzhi was strolling by the river, he suddenly found a small green leaf floating on the water. The leaf was different from the others, and a pole could be seen from the clear water.

Huh?

This is... a lotus flower?

Zhou Chengren also came over with smoking pouches, and the old men started to study.

Zhou Chengren said, "It must be lotus. Our model worker went to the county to bring back a few catties of lotus seeds, saying that they were planted in our river.

" Plant in the south."

"Model workers, can they not grow?" Zhou Chengzhi said, "If you don't grow, you have to grow."

Zhou Chengyi: Model workers, ancestors, and Dragon King, this is the captain's three axes.

The news of the model worker planting lotus flowers in the Xihe caused a stir among the brigade. The members of the commune who went to work and off work liked to walk by the Xihe. This is a rarity.

Wei Shengjindu specially taught elementary school students to read the poems of lotus flowers, and so on.

Mo Ru also sketched by the river, and painted fields, old farmers, blue waves, clear lotus, weeping willows, and thatched huts.

"It seems that dozens of ducks need to be raised." There is still no pressure for a team to raise dozens of ducks, and the top doesn't care.

What's more, she's a model worker.

Of course, she didn't admit that she was tired of salted eggs and wanted to eat salted duck eggs, especially salted duck eggs with oily yolks, and her saliva drooled just thinking about it.

She went to Zhou Mingyu, together with Zhou Chengzhi, "Captain, our team has water now, let's raise dozens of ducks."

Good!

Zhou Chengzhi couldn't help it, he just liked that the model worker couldn't be idle all day, and the idea of ​​making money was just a turn of his mind.

Since he had the wall clock, he didn't mention his spirits, with a smile on his black face. Whenever he was free, he looked at the wall clock. The more he looked, the more he felt that these two model workers were blessed by their ancestors to benefit the villagers.

He said to Zhou Mingyu: "Xiao Wu, go to the accountant to pay the bills, go to the commune, and see if you can buy ducklings directly or buy the eggs and we will hatch them ourselves."

Zhou Mingyu smiled and said, "Captain, promise to complete the task. "

Now he and Mo Ru are in charge of the paper mill, chicken farm, and mushroom greenhouse. They don't need to work in it themselves, so they can be freed up to do more things.

The two went to Zhou Mingyue and paid 30 yuan, preparing to buy 70 or 80 duck eggs and another 30 or 40 ducklings.

At this time, it is not easy to buy, you can only buy as much as you can, and then think of a way to buy it.

They went to the commune and asked Gao Yufei and Zhuang Ying about it.

Gao Yufei was a technician and often went to the countryside. Zhuang Ying was the women's director of the commune.

Gao Yufei knew that there were white geese and ducks in the Shuicheng brigade and the Bishuitan brigade, so he asked for them.

The Shuicheng Brigade didn't sell them, but they could sell more than a dozen eggs, and they had to keep the rest for themselves. They said that this year they didn't know what to do. The ducks got sick and died a lot, and they didn't have enough.

The Bishuitan brigade heard that they would be willing to sell 15 female ducks and 20 ducklings to them in the future.

Zhuang Ying helped to buy 20 duck eggs and a few large goose eggs. In addition, the supply and marketing cooperative also collected duck eggs, so she could help pick out the eggs.

The supply and marketing cooperatives don't want money, they just wait for the duck farm of the Pioneer Brigade to hand over the task of duck eggs. They can't wait for the Pioneer Brigade to raise ducks too.

Gao Yufei rode his bicycle that was about to fall apart to report to Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu, "You drive the cart and pull the basket, let's go and pull those flat mouths back, two dollars and five for a duck that lays eggs is quite a bargain ."

Mo Ru heard that there were still adult ducks to buy and was happy, so she prepared immediately. Zhou Mingyu was more thoughtful than her and asked Gao Yufei, "Are these adult ducks sick?"

If they are not sick, why are they in a hurry ? Sell?

This is not the need to eat food in winter. It is early summer, and the ducks can go to the river to find food for themselves.

After Zhou Mingyu said this, Gao Yufei also murmured, "Then what should I do? I don't want it?"

Mo Ru said, "Yes, why don't you want it? It means that the healthy has a healthy price, and the sick has a sick price. ."

The chickens in the chicken farm are not easy to get sick, because they eat the insects taken out of the space. The same reason can be proved that the ducks should also be able to enjoy this kind of welfare.

She and Zhou Mingyu drove the mule cart and followed Gao Yu to the Bishuitan brigade, and they found out that their brigade was suffering from chicken plague. Not only did more chickens die, but also more ducks.

There were not many collective farms, but one third of them died now.

After thinking about it, Mo Ru quietly sprinkled some well water from Yuhuan Well into their farm, hoping that the chickens, ducks and ducks would get better after drinking them.

The captain of Bishuitan was worried. Seeing the chickens and ducks on the farm died in batches, he was so distressed that he couldn't sleep. Hearing that someone wanted to buy it from Gao Yufei, he thought that he would lose as little as possible.

In fact, some of the members of the commune are still secretly having fun. After so many poultry died, most of them were sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and a few of them could still improve their meals in the cafeteria of their own brigade.

Mo Ru and the others bought those sick ducks with one piece or two, and they didn't need to send them to the chicken farm, they just put them in the West River.

Zhou Chengzhi also asked Bianzui to build a few nests by the river and let them lay eggs and rest in it.

Liang Shuying heard that the model worker actually went to Bishuitan to buy 20 sick ducks and came back, so they had to wait to see the joke.

"It's still a model worker, shit, I don't know that sick ducks can't be bought? This duck can't get sick easily, and it can kill people!"

"I think she's tired of eating chicken and wants to eat duck meat."

Of course, they only dared to hide. Whispering in a low voice, even my own children can't hear it, otherwise I will let them experience what it means to betray each other in minutes!

But to their disappointment, the ducks that Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu bought were still sick at first, but after a few days in the West River, they were all alive and kicking.

And, they started laying eggs one after another!

However, I heard that the poultry in the Bishuitan brigade did not escape unscathed, but a large number of them died, and in the end there were only a dozen of them left.

There are only a dozen or so left in the entire brigade, which is really a heavy loss.

Originally, it might be okay to raise them separately. If you run a thousand chicken farms, it will naturally spread diseases easily, and the casualties will not be controlled.

Mo Ru still muttered to herself after hearing that, she thought that the well water in her own dimension had a healing effect, but she thought too much.

But... why didn't the duck that I brought back die?

Maybe it's the need to have this water every day for nourishment and not immediate results?

She also didn't understand the principle. In the spirit of earning money if she could treat a disease, and not losing money if she couldn't treat it, she also put space well water in the well in the village several times, thinking that even if she couldn't treat the disease, what if she could. What about getting fit?

However, there were still old people who died in the village, so she wondered if she couldn't support animals in her space, so she couldn't interfere with life, and it would be even more ineffective for humans? She didn't have any instructions for using the space either.

Twenty days later, news of the official democratic supplementary course suddenly came at the end of the month.

This supplementary lesson is mainly in the countryside. Actions have been launched from the school to the major teams and production teams. Some who were previously classified as middle peasants were reclassified as rich peasants or even landlords, and those classified as lower-middle peasants were classified as rich peasants. .

Later, there was a lower-middle peasant in General Miaozi, who was exposed. Before liberation, his family used to hire workers to work and exploit the working people. He was a bad landlord. Although his family had only ten acres of land at the beginning, when the farming was busy, he had to ask for help because his family was ill.

There is also a poor peasant in Caoboer, who was revealed to have served as a puppet army for the Japanese before liberation, and now he is directly labeled as a bad element.

Also...those commune members who were living in poverty and quiet life were suddenly deprived of their original assignments, and all of them were sent to study classes in the commune to study and re-educate them.

The Pioneer Brigade lost the right to speak because of Zhang Genfa, but it was as busy and quiet as ever, and no one was making a fuss.

...

Today Mo Ru was taking seven, seven, eight, nine, nine people out to catch bugs. Her team was caught all over the place and needed to be raised to prevent the pests from dying out. She had to go to a nearby team for a walk.

Now she has regarded the natural world as a breeding farm for insects, and it is full of feed for chickens, which cannot be used up.

She sometimes walked north to Songjiazhuang, sometimes she went south to Mawang, and sometimes she went west to east. Anyway, it was just a walk for her.

I don't know if it's because of the added benefit of the space upgrade. Even when she is pregnant, she still feels light and energetic. She has neither early pregnancy vomiting nor other discomfort. On the contrary, she feels warm in her stomach every day, always giving She had a soft and pleasant feeling.

What a caring baby, as well-behaved as in Qiqi's time.

After walking around these days, Mo Ru found that there were so many bugs in the outer village!

It's no less than last year, or even more. This is not a good sign. After all, last year, the county's members were mobilized to take pests. This year, there are still so many.

In the end, she simply rode a bicycle to go further, collecting pests, and surveying the status of pests by the way.

Nowadays, there are no nearby brigade who don't know her. They all know that she is a model worker. They even figured out that she was commissioned by the county party committee to survey crops and pests. They are used to her walking around at will.

Other commune members have to go to work every day and are absolutely not allowed to walk around at will, so now many commune members hardly go anywhere other than their own villages and farmland.

She was riding a bicycle, with her daughter in the front, a rooster in the back, and a large yellow dog trotting beside her.

Zhou Qiqi has not been very happy these days. She is very sticky to Mo Ru, and she follows her every day instead of playing with Chrysanthemum.

Mo Ru couldn't help laughing when she saw her Xiaochou appearance. After asking several times, Zhou Qiqi said, "Mom, can you give Qiqi a baby brother?"

Now that she has listened a lot, she has understood that pregnancy means having a baby in the future.

Mo Ru smiled and said, "It could also be the little sister. No matter the younger brother or sister, mom and dad like it, and you should like it too, okay?"

Zhou Qiqi said seriously: "But, I like the little brother."

"Little brother." My sister is also very good. I will sleep with you to go to school together, comb my hair and do homework together, how fun." When Mo Ru said this, her face was filled with the brilliance of motherhood involuntarily, and she saw the boy mowing the grass by the roadside. Their eyes straightened.

Wow~~The model worker is so handsome!

Zhou Qiqi frowned, "However, San Niangniang said that the younger brother is good, and the girl's movies are all money-losing. If my mother wants to give birth to a girl's movie like Qiqi, my grandma and my father don't like it, so I won't kiss my mother and Qiqi. It's seven..."

Mo Ru laughed when she heard her sad little movement, "Don't listen to what San Niangniang said in the future, she said that you should just let the wind blow." .

Zhou Qiqi: "Isn't that... impolite?"

If she is impolite, mother!

Although I've never really fought, but it's scary when Niang ignores people when she's angry.

Mo Ru: "This doesn't count. If anyone tells you that the girl's film loses money, don't pay attention. That's because they're rude first, and we're not used to it.

" His eyes suddenly lit up, and the look of sadness on his face was also swept away. He smiled, "Okay!" It was still dark when we got home, and the afterglow splattered a golden yellow on the river. As soon as Mo Ru stopped, Zhou Qiqi slipped away. I got off my bike and ran across the river, kicking and kicking, startling a river of ducks.

She ran to Zhang Cuihua's house in one breath, and when she entered the door, she happened to see Zhang Gu teaching Lazi'er and Shaozi in the yard, "It's really two money-losing goods and troublesome things, which don't make people worry all day long."

Zhou Qiqi ran up to Zhang Gu and said with a smile, "Niangniang, let me ask you something."

Although Zhang Ju disliked his daughter, the model worker's daughter is different. The girl is also a princess.

She immediately smiled and said to please: "Qiqi, what's the matter."

Zhou Qiqi: "How much did you pay for your family?"

Zhang Ju didn't understand, "What did you say?"

"I said, you What a big loser, how much money was lost!" Zhou Qiqi's eyes were dark and glowing.

Chapter 217 Arrested

    Zhang Yu was speechless, and for a while he didn't know what to say to deal with it, and he didn't even care about getting angry.

It's too unexpected, how can a child be so bear!

Who taught her this! !

Zhou Qiqi put his hands on his hips, his eyes flashed, and continued to say loudly: "San Niangniang, we are a loser, then you are a big loser. You lose more, and you can't scold us in the future!"

At this time, the family chose The bearer and the hoe-resistant one just came back talking.

The first person to enter the door was the old man Zhou. He originally walked to the shadow wall, but after listening to Zhou Qiqi's words, he hurriedly put his feet back, and acted as if nothing was wrong. Walked away.

Zhou Mingyuan's brothers followed closely behind, all holding back their laughter, even if Zhou Mingguang watched his mother-in-law being harassed by a girl, he didn't want to help, instead he watched the fun.

However, Zhou Mingyuan was also afraid that his younger brother and wife would be ashamed, so he signaled his younger brothers not to go in, and the brothers hid outside the shadow wall.

Zhang Gu's face was trembling, his hands were shaking, his voice was trembling, "You little girl, bear boy, you are a junior, you can't talk to your elders like this, you don't have a tutor, it's a shame! Let your parents beat you hard!

" If it weren't for the model worker's daughter, if this was someone else's daughter, who cares who you are, just slap it and slap it on the fan!

Zhou Qiqi frowned, "I'm not a bear boy, I'm a small loser! You are a big loser! Let's compare the size, I will become smaller without you, and you will be the loser in the future!"

"Ha...haha..."

"Hahahahaha" The

brothers couldn't hold back any longer, and they didn't know who laughed out loud first, and then they laughed in a series of hahahas, each of them leaning forward and back together, not caring about their image, not to mention that Zhang Jue would turn into anger.

Hearing the laughter of the men in the yard, Zhang Gu immediately flushed with embarrassment. He didn't care to argue with Zhou Qiqi. He was so angry that he covered his face and cried and rushed back to the West Wing, lying on the quilt and crying.

Zhou Mingyuan cleared his throat, "Who laughed first? Don't be sympathetic."

Zhou Minglin said: "Third brother."

Zhou Mingguang: "Second brother laughed first."

Zhou Mingyuan: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up Go and coax."

Seeing them coming in, Zhou Qiqi immediately smiled sweetly and said hello one by one.

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and said, "We Qiqi are really sensible and the most polite... ah, haha." He suddenly realized that the polite little Qiqi just now made San Niangniang so angry that she ran into the house to cry, saying that she The most polite, isn't this equal to scolding the third family, oops, rash.

Zhou Qiqi had already gone to coax Lan Zi'er and Shui Zi. One person gave the candy and ordered, "Don't cry!"

Lan Zi'er didn't like to cry now, but he was slapped by Zhang Ji and cried so sadly. The belt is only eight or nine months old, and it was originally a fun time, but Zhang Ju scolds her for losing money all day long. Makes me cry every day.

In the past, Chrysanthemum and Nidan'er looked at Lan Zi'er, but now Lan Zi'er is a bit older. Zhang was too embarrassed to let Chrysanthemum look after the child, so he let Lan Zi'er watch. Lan Zi'er likes to play with Chrysanthemum and Ke La'er the most. Now, not only can I not get to play, but I have to watch a sister who is crying and urinating all day long. Naturally, she is not happy, so the two sisters Tian shouted and babbled, making Zhang enough to upset him, so he naturally wanted to slap him twice.

No, I cried so hard.

Now that there is candy to eat, the two girls stopped crying, and they were all happy.

Everyone is a big child coaxing a small child, and their family is a small child coaxing an older child. Zhou Mingyuan was amazed by it. Qiqi is really unusual.

He looked around, "Where's the chrysanthemum, why don't you play with your sisters?"

Lan Zi'er pouted and said aggrievedly: "I went to school to play."

She wanted to go too! But she wants to see small losers.

Zhang Gu heard talking and laughing outside the room, and wanted to say that when Mo Ru and Xiao Wu came, they must report it properly.

As a result, the young couple never came to eat.

...

Since the democratic supplementary class has started, it is possible to redistribute people's components in an open and honest manner, and Cui Fazhong will naturally not let the Mo family go easily.

He instructed Cui Faping, "The middle peasant who was previously set, we can't move him. Now there is an opportunity to re-classify the components, why not?"

Cui Faping said yes, but he was not so enthusiastic. He really envied the paper mill of the Vanguard Brigade. , People can have a side business, why can't they Mojiagou? He didn't know how much he wanted to open a small factory to earn some extra money. Unfortunately, Cui Fazhong kept pressing him and refused to let him do it, saying that Mojiagou always relied on farming for food.

He wants to go to the city, so he has to have the opportunity to qualify?

Now that the control of urban and rural areas is so strict, it is more difficult than going to the sky to go to the city with a rural hukou!

Not everyone can go to college!

Now listening to Cui Fazhong talking about how to deal with Mo Shujie, Cui Faping is not so happy. After all, Mo Shujie is very responsible and respects him as a team leader. He has never caused trouble. Now he is a veterinarian. The village competed for honor.

The most important thing is that Mo Shujie's daughter and son-in-law are model workers, and they are favored by the commune and county party committee. It is said that there are cadres and friends in the city. If you come forward to punish Mo Shujie, and then they will retaliate, will you suffer more?

"The matter of the democratic supplementary class will be announced at dinner in the evening. Mo Shujie must be controlled first, locked up for a few days, and then sent back to the commune study class." Cui Fazhong gave the final order. As long as Mo Shujie trips, The little cubs in the family have to get out of the army, and they have to be restricted from going to school.

At this time, the political review is the most critical threshold!

Cui Faping had a lot of fun in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Mo Shujie went home from outside to treat the animals. When he was about to leave work, his family was about to eat when Cui Faping took him away.

Fortunately, Cui Faping gave Mo Ru and Zhou Ming more face, so that no one could break the door or smash the house, only Mo Shujie was invited, and no family members were involved.

Wouldn't he say that he was afraid that the model workers would settle accounts and make them pay more expensive money, which would not be worth it.

After Mo Shujie was arrested, his family members were not allowed to visit, no matter what Shen Shujun and Mo Yingfei asked, they were not allowed to visit.

Shen Shujun hurriedly sent his second son to Zhoujia Village to deliver the letter.

Who knew that Cui Fazhong had long thought that he would actually send someone to guard him and not allow anyone to go out casually, especially the Mo family.

In the end, there was no way, Shen Shujun asked her son to find Mo Yinglong again, and asked him to help find a way.

...

At that time, Mo Ru came back from the outside with the bugs and watched her daughter run to the grandmother's house. It was not time for dinner, so she went home to clean up.

Now the vegetable field in the yard is growing brightly, the lentils and cucumbers are already on the shelf, and the others are also growing very well, just when they need water.

Mo Ru asked Zhou Mingyu to dig a small pond under the west wall. She filled it with water, ordered a small spring, and covered it with slate, so that there was a simple vegetable washing table.

The small stream slowly flows into the vegetable field, circulating in a circle to the ditch behind the house, just to nourish the lotus flowers there.

She was washing dishes when she heard the voice of the second sister-in-law outside, "This is it."

"Ni'er, someone in Mojiagou is looking for you."

Mo Ru replied, "Come on."

She got up and wiped her apron. Hands, go out and see who it is.

It was getting dark in the twilight, but she could see clearly that the person next to the second sister-in-law was Cui Ping-ping?

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing that Mo Ru disliked him very much, Cui Fairy felt sour in his heart. He also saw the lush flowers and trees inside and outside the walls of Mo Ru's house, the fruit trees were verdant, and the scene was full of life. It was an indescribable feeling. .

He said, "Ni'er, I'm here to deliver the letter to you."

Mo Ru snorted, "What's the matter?"

Cui Fairy got angry and delivered the letter by himself, and she didn't say to invite her home to sit down?

He said angrily, "Your father was arrested because he made up the class for democracy."

Mo Ru was shocked, but not flustered, she said, "Thank you so much." She asked Ding Lanying again: "Second sister-in-law, trouble you. Pack two catties of mushrooms for him and then take him to the cafeteria for a meal, and I'll go find the fifth brother." Ding Lanying greeted Cui Fairy, "This fellow, please come with me."

She looked at Mo Ru incredulously. She sent him such an important thing as she sent a letter, and she didn't want to say a word?

Mo Ru didn't have the time to pay attention to what he was thinking, so he regarded him as sending a letter, and just treated him well and thanked him.

She went to ask, Zhou Mingyu is in the paper factory, there is not enough coal recently, and they are discussing how to pull some more at one time.

Hearing Mo Ru talk about Mojiagou, Zhou Mingyu said nothing and let Zhou Yuzhong and Zhou Chengxin discuss it on their own. He went to explain a few words to Zhou Peiji and Zhou Chenglian, and then rode Mo Ru to Mo's house on a bicycle. ditch.

When the young couple went to Mojiagou, they naturally wouldn't go home for dinner.

At this time, it was already dark, Mo Ru lit the lantern and asked Zhou Mingyu to hang it on the handlebar, and the two went all the way to Mojiagou.

When he arrived outside Mojiagou Village, he was stopped by the patrol team, "Who are you, what are you walking around at night?"

Zhou Mingyu said coldly: "Don't make some weird things out, you have to let me go to the commune to tell you."

Seeing that they were two model workers, those people didn't dare to say anything, so they had to let them go.

Zhou Mingyu went to the brigade, and Mo Ru went straight back to her parents' house.

Mo Yingfei went to the brigade, Shen Shujun was sitting at home, her face was pale, and she was muttering words. I heard that this time, those who were made up for classes were severely punished, even worse than a few years ago.

Because those who were found out were the ones who slipped through the net before, who deceived the party and the people, and were severely punished.

This time, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape, and it is very likely that I will be arrested and sent to the farm for labor reform like my eldest brother.

If it is called a farm, it is actually a local prison, and the prisoners are not guilty of heinous crimes. They are all with bad elements. They work, study, and receive education there.

Many who went there were shot, and those who survived did not eat much good fruit. Mo Ru

found that the courtyard door was not closed and she pushed in, "Mother, are you at home? Why didn't you light the lights?"

"Ni'er!"

Mo Ru entered the room, took out a match and lit it, looking for an oil lamp to light it. Seeing that Shen Shujun's face was not good, she comforted: "Mother, don't worry, the fifth brother is going to the brigade, even if you can't kill your father. If you take it back, they won't let them hurt Dad."

Shen Shujun nodded and held Mo Ru's hand tightly, but said in her mouth, "Ni'er, you must do what you can."

Mo Ru said, "Mother, little one. Fifth brother knows, it's alright, don't worry, now we know people in the commune and the county party committee, it's not like we used to have dark eyes."

She saw that there was a bowl of porridge with little soup and water on the table, and she brought it up. Go outside and take out two hot wowotou from the space, break the wowotou and soak it in, it's not too cold.

She brought it back for Shen Shujun to eat, "Mother, your body can't collapse at any time."

Only then did Shen Shujun feel a little appetite, she poured out half the bowl, "Keep it for your second brother, he is not full."

Shen Shujun asked her who sent the letter.

Moru told her.

Shen Shujun said, "Go back to my mother to thank him."

After a while, Mo Yingfei came back and told them, "Brother-in-law went to look for the captain, but the captain is to give face to his brother-in-law. Even if Cui Fazhong doesn't let go, the captain can't decide."

This is not wanting to let people go.

Shen Shujun made a decision: "Ni'er, tell Mingyu, let's go to the study class." After hearing her, Mo Ru immediately understood that everyone was afraid of the study class, because they were afraid of going to the class and being punished. If you can still find someone in the commune, you can guarantee that your father will not be punished.

At present, it is the most important thing to get out of Cui Fazhong's control.

She said, "Second brother, you accompany your mother, I'll take a look."

She went to the brigade, and saw Cui Faping talking to Zhou Mingyu, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and there was no arrogance, but a few people have been fanning the flames He was clamoring to re-designate Mo Shujie's composition, become a landlord and so on.

Mo Ru walked over to stand with Zhou Mingyu and said, "Captain, even if there are people, you have no right to decide. If you want to send it to the commune study class, you should send it quickly."

Zhou Mingyu held her hand, "I It seems that he is a little embarrassed and can't make up his mind."

Mo Ru sneered, "So you say that Mojiagou is a self-reliant emperor with a land on the mountain, which is amazing, this is an evil force and should be overthrown!"

"You What nonsense are you talking about?" Cui Gongfen glared at him angrily.

Zhou Mingyu glanced at him, "What are you fierce?"

Cui Gongfen stepped forward to confront Zhou Mingyu, but was separated by Cui Gongfen.

"Okay, don't be mad, it's not good to make a fuss." He still wanted to continue to be the captain, but he didn't want to make a big fuss. Now that Cui Fazhong has been dismissed, on the surface he has the final say in Mojiagou, so naturally he has to show his stance.

He said, "That's it, I will send Mo Shujie to the commune study class tomorrow."

Anyway, Cui Fazhong also said that he would be sent to the study class after being detained for a few days.

"No!" Cui Gongfen got his father's instructions to keep Mo Shujie for a few days. Naturally, he couldn't keep him honestly for a few days. He must be starved, tried, and beaten!

If he doesn't die, he has to peel off his skin, or make him crippled.

As long as Mo Shujie's composition is defined as a rich peasant landlord, his son will not be able to do anything.

Zhou Mingyu sneered and said, "Whether it's okay or not, it's not your decision."

Originally, he didn't expect to save Mo Shujie in a single trip, but he just made Cui Fazhong and others dare not openly act.

He said to Mo Ru, "Let's go, let's go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Mo Ru took out two warm wowtou from his pocket and wrapped it in a handkerchief, "Captain, please give this to my father. "

Ordinary sorghum bean noodles with sweet potato noodles, all coarse grains, nothing special.

But she was still able to come up with two pure grain wowotou, which was not so easy, and several people present were jealous.

Now is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, the wheat in the field has not been harvested, and the grains from last autumn have been eaten to the bottom.

At first sight of the two pure grain wowatou, it really makes one's eyes see sparks.

Someone wants to go up and get it.

Cui Faping glared at them and told them to go, "Okay, let's send it over."

Zhou Mingyu asked Mo Ru to send it, and he waited outside.

Mo Ru took her own lantern and followed the people to the place where they were being held. It was dark in the room. She raised the lantern to take a picture, and everyone craned their necks to look over.

"Father!" Mo Ru walked quickly to Mo Shujie, took out two nests, "Father, eat something."

Mo Shujie looked at her in surprise, "Daughter, are you here with son-in-law?"

Mo Ru Nodding his head and comforting him, "Don't worry, Dad, everything will be fine, just eat."

Mo Shujie touched the still warm wowatou, and ate it in a big mouth. , was hungry, watching Mo Shujie eat and swallowing saliva one by one.

It's good to have a model worker's daughter, not only will she not starve, but maybe he will be able to escape this time.

"Model worker, we've been wronged!" Someone started to go to the doctor in a hurry, and bowed to Mo Ru and asked her for help.

Mo Ru said: "Please don't panic, you must trust the party and the government, the commune will definitely give you justice."

If there is nothing to hide, but it was divided before, she does not think it is a big problem, anyway, "crimes" are all punished. checked.

Mo Ru said a few more words to Mo Shujie, telling him not to worry, the leaders of the commune have regulations.

That night, Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru didn't leave either, so he stayed at Mo's house and planned to go to the commune together tomorrow.

At night, Cui Fazhong's family couldn't sleep either. He held an emergency meeting of the village cadres and asked to find a way to keep Mo Shujie and not let him go to the commune.

Cui Faping said: "Brother, don't you all go to the school for re-education? If you don't get caught, what's the use?"

Cui Fazhong whispered: "Of course it works, we can hold a criticism meeting in our village.

" It's amazing, hum, I let you die in the third watch, you can't wait for the fifth watch!

He even wanted to transfer people away quietly at night. The village was all his own, and there were only two people in the model worker's family. How could he see it?

As soon as the next day dawned, Zhou Mingyu went to the brigade and asked to see his father-in-law again so that he could bring him food during dinner.

The gatekeeper said angrily: "What are you doing, what are you doing, did you just watch it?"

Zhou Mingyu smiled, "If it wasn't for my old husband here, I wouldn't mind if you invited me here. Brother. , don't be so rude, now it's a new society, it's a world of poor and lower-middle peasants, do you know what it looks like if you're being so rude?"

The man asked, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Zhou Mingyu's face sank, "It's like being attacked by you. The bad underworld bandits you beat, do you know why you can beat others but not yourself?"

The man's expression changed, "Don't think you are a model worker..." He stretched out his hand and pushed Zhou Mingyu in anger.

Zhou Mingyu moved faster than him, he twisted his arm and lifted it to the back, coldly said: "Then I will let you know that no one is fighting you because you are the king and hegemon in Mojiagou. Bandit behavior, if there are powerful people who come to fight you, you will still have bad luck. Don't be afraid that you will say that I am proud, I am the powerful one!"

He raised his foot and kicked the young man's ass, kicking him to the ground.

The man got up and shouted, "We beat people, beat people!"

Zhou Mingyu clapped his hands, "It's beating people, the Cui family is beating model workers, come and see, the Cui family is going to rebel!" Cui Faping led the people to run in a hurry Come over, "Zhou Mingyu, what are you doing!"

"Come and see my father-in-law, so I can bring him breakfast." Zhou Mingyu looked at Cui Faping and saw that his expression was a little guilty, "I said captain, you are not taking advantage of the night to Hide my father-in-law."

Cui Faping hurriedly smiled and said, "How could it be, there are no rules, you can't..."

"Rules, don't use your own nonsense to smear the commune, where did the rules come from? , do you think I haven't been to the commune?" Zhou Mingyu took out his old habit of being a fool and couldn't reason with such a person.

Soon Cui Gongfen brought people over. He was instructed by Cui Fazhong and asked them to beat Zhou Mingyu, saying that these idiots came to grab people!

"Take this Er Lengzi to me and give me a beating, and he even went to our Cui's house to go wild. He thought this was the vanguard brigade!"

Er Lengzi used to like to fight, and he was a scourge of a village tyrant, so he just took the opportunity to file a lawsuit.

Zhou Mingyu looked at them sympathetically, thinking that he could win by bullying more and less? If she heard about a fight, her daughter-in-law might not just take the opportunity to move her muscles and bones. Nowadays, Mo Ru's use of space is simply superb. Even if he beats a few people with something in the space in front of them, it will not be a problem, and it will not be discovered at all.

Think about the poor Kanri Mountain, the soil on the tomb is still dry.

They are in such a hurry to have company.

He lucked out his dantian and shouted, "Wife, we're fighting!" 

The Cui family said, "..."

 Cui Faping: Is this an idiot or what? Fight to call your daughter-in-law? What a fool to match a fool!

Mo Ru and Mo Yingfei were waiting outside, and when she heard his voice, she said to Mo Yingfei, "Second brother, go home and protect your mother, and I will help your brother-in-law."

Mo Yingfei said nervously, "Sister , you go home, I'll go, don't let them hit you."

Mo Ru smiled, "Hit your sister? Hehe, they won't have a chance in the next life."

Mo Yinglong came in from outside and said loudly while making a fuss. : "Don't fool around, someone from the commune is here!"

Chapter 218 Report

   The commune came, and Lin Shu personally led the team.

He carried the same black-face emoji as Zhou Chengzhi, which was so gloomy and scary that Cui Faping couldn't help but murmured.

Lin Shu was a very kind person, and he was always smiling. Anyone who met him said he was easy to get along with.

This anger is pulling his face at the moment, which shows that things are serious.

He glanced at it and said to Cui Faping: "Captain, you are amazing, are you going to beat up the model workers of our commune and county party committee?"

Zhou Mingyu: Director Lin, you are here early, my wife hasn't shot yet. .

Mo Ru immediately put away the idea of ​​ruthlessly hitting the enemy, and cooperated with Lin Shu, "Director Lin, you have to decide for us, and a group of them want to beat us."

Cui Faping naturally refused to admit it, he could He didn't order the model worker, he smiled, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Lin Shu didn't talk to him, and asked Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu about the situation, and then asked Cui Faping, "Bring out some people who are going to class. Come on, let's take them to the commune together."

Cui Faping was a little embarrassed, Mo Shujie was ordered out by Cui Fazhong last night, and he can't pay it now.

Seeing this, Cui Gongfen quietly withdrew and asked Cui Fazhong for advice. There was no other way, so he had to hand over Mo Shujie.

Cui Fazhong has now suspended his post as secretary, and has not yet been reinstated.

Where do you know that after waiting for a long time, no one is there.

Cui Fazhong slapped the table angrily, "He's so big, if he doesn't come, I'll go meet him."

He took someone to the brigade room, and saw that Lin Shu was asking someone to record some make-up lessons. See how the present differs from the past.

Just when he saw Mo Shujie, he asked Cui Faping, "Mo Shujie had checked the commune very clearly before, and he was a middle peasant, so what has been found now?"

Cui Faping couldn't say why, it was all made by Cui Fazhong, he said: "Some things are not explained clearly, although he eats, sleeps, works and raises animals with the long-term workers, but he is the son of the landlord after all, and he must have participated in the exploitation of the common people. ..."

When Cui Faping didn't know what to say, he happened to see Cui Fazhong coming in from outside, and immediately smiled: "Director Lin, our secretary is here, let our secretary speak."

Lin Shu was surprised: "What secretary? You guys? Has the brigade appointed a new secretary? Why didn't I know?"

Cui Fazhong was suspended from his post before, and the commune assigned a new party branch secretary to the Mojiagou brigade, but unfortunately he was ill or had an accident within two days.

The commune also knew what was going on, so they simply stopped assigning them and left them empty.

Everyone knew that it was Cui Fazhong who did the trick, but if the commune did not reinstate him, he was still not a secretary, even if he had this power.

Cui Fazhong's face was gloomy, but he laughed. He stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Shu, and said, "Director Lin, a rare visitor, this is the first time you have come to our Mojiagou in so many years."

Lin Shu said lightly, "The spirit of the old secretary. Be healthy."

Cui Fazhong suddenly felt a lump in his chest, they usually call the old secretary who retired as the old secretary, he is still young!

This Lin Shu!

He smiled and said, "Thanks to the leaders, it's alright."

Lin Shu greeted him a few words, then turned to Cui Faping and said, "You don't have to leave me for dinner, I have to go around the teams, hurry up. Bring people and I will take them away."

Seeing his desperate appearance, Cui Fazhong was not reconciled, he was determined to fight but he was afraid of causing other troubles, so he had to grit his teeth and nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Cui Faping breathed a sigh of relief. If Cui Fazhong refused, he really didn't know how to bear it.

I don't want to resign!

Soon several people from Mojiagou were brought over, and Mo Shujie was also on the list. Obviously, he suffered a little and his spirit was a little sluggish.

Lin Shu glanced at it, but didn't say much, "Okay, let's go now."

Zhou Mingyu smiled and said, "Director Lin, they were all hungry last night, so why don't they have a bowl of sticky porridge for breakfast? , if you don't go halfway, you're not going to faint from hunger."

Lin Shu frowned and glanced at Cui Fazhong, "Even if he is a reform-through-labor prisoner, he has to be given food to eat." .

Cui Faping immediately asked someone to get them something to eat, and by the way, he gave Lin Shu breakfast, a few pastries of white noodles, a small pot of yellowish millet porridge, a few boiled eggs, a small bowl of pickles, and a plate of leek. Lin Shu ate a steamed bun, drank a bowl of porridge, two pieces of pickled vegetables, and did not eat eggs and leeks. He also gave

Cui Faping a pound of food stamps, "This is a few meals for us."

Two, three or two each at noon and evening.

Cui Faping had no choice but to keep it, knowing that Lin Shu was not taking advantage of them.

There is a chicken farm with the Pioneer Brigade, Lin Shu is really not short of eggs now, and he is not greedy!

After breakfast, Lin Shu took people away, and by the way, he went to several other battalions with bad behavior. In order to prevent them from privately fighting and harming others, he took them to the commune by the way.

After they left, Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru also stayed and returned to Mo's house.

Shen Shujun happily took their hands, "Good boy, thanks to you."

Mo Yingfei was also very happy, and followed his mother to thank him.

Mo Ru said: "Mother, don't worry, my father is definitely fine. Our family's problems have been explained clearly, and there is nothing to hide."

Shen Shujun wiped her tears, "Okay, okay, it's alright."

Mo Ru went with them After saying goodbye, he quietly put a little dried sweet potato and rice noodles in the urn, and then went home with Zhou Mingyu by bike.

On the way, she smiled and said, "Little Fifth Brother, Director Lin was invited by you."

Zhou Mingyu nodded, "Thanks to Uncle and Peiji."

Mo Ru: "They don't know how to fool around. Director Lin came so timely, you have to ask carefully." When I went back to ask the two people, Zhou Chenglian was happy, and Zhou Peiji was not so hilarious, so he told them about the process of going to the commune.

In fact, there was no twist. They directly followed Zhou Mingyu's instructions. They went to Lin Shu's house to call the door, and told him that Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru went to Mojiagou. They also said that Mo Shujie was arrested by Cui Fazhong. There might be conflicts. Ask him to resolve.

Lin Shu guessed that they would directly ask for help as the two of them. After eating so many mushrooms and eggs, their mouths were too short. Of course, they wanted to help their own people.

Mo Ru smiled and said, "I'm pickling salted duck eggs. I'll give you a few to eat."

Zhou Chenglian immediately swallowed. To be honest, he only ate salted duck eggs when he was a child, but he hadn't eaten them in all these years.

Zhou Peiji: "What's so delicious about salted duck eggs? It's fishy."

Mo Ru: "We've started to have fish in the river. I'll go back and get you some fish to eat."

Zhou Peiji's eyes lit up, "It's almost the same.

" After Mo Ru left, Zhou Chenglian gave him a push: "Duck eggs are still more fishy than fish?" Zhou Peiji asked Zhou Mingyu

, "I can see that there are more fish in the Xihe now. Where did you get them?"

Zhou Mingyu pretended not to know. , "I didn't do it, and I don't keep fish at home, where can I get it."

Zhou Peiji glanced at him, but didn't believe it.

Whether he believed it or not, Zhou Mingyu just thought he believed it. There were dozens of small fish in the West River that Mo Ru picked up when he collected water and raised them in a tank at home. Later, perhaps because of the well water in the space, those fish grew well, and some even spawned and hatched small fish, and there were countless small fry.

After the river water swelled recently, they put all the smaller fish back into the river, so there were fish in the West River.

When Zhou Mingyu returned to the village, he happened to meet Zhou Mingjun taking someone to the Kan family brigade to deliver the betrothal gift.

Two quilts, a hook cloth, some vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, etc., were all placed in a wooden box with an open lid.

Not to mention anything else, the two quilts are already very impressive, and people who met on the road have said that they are rich in betrothal gifts.

If you want to put it aside before, what kind of dowry is there, at most a few feet will be thrown down. After all, at this time, one person only needs two feet eight cloth tickets and about a pound and a half of cotton. I don't know how many cloth tickets and cotton tickets are needed to save two quilts.

Thanks to the cotton model workers who picked up the cotton from the bugs, the Pioneer Brigade could also get cotton and cloth in the village. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make two new quilts because of their gray hair.

This is also because Li Guiyun really likes this niece. He refuses to treat her badly. He takes out all his savings to get all of these things together.

The wooden boxes were all the trees that Zhou Mingyu had borrowed from Sandada at the beginning. He built the house himself and then returned them to them after they were useless. Zhou Chengxin used the wood to make two wooden boxes, a table and two stools for Zhou Mingjun.

At this moment, Li Guiyun disregarded the unhappiness of the two daughters-in-law, and asked her youngest son to send it to Kan Yaner as a dowry. Anyway, she was not worried that she would be brought back when she welcomed her relatives.

Dangdang is full of cars, and it is more imposing than other people's houses, which makes Zhou Mingjun have a lot of face.

Wearing New Year's clothes and a navy blue military cap, he was beaming and sat on the donkey cart to greet Zhou Mingyu, "Xiao Wu, did you go to my father-in-law's house last night?"

Zhou Mingyu nodded, "You This is going to be hired."

Zhou Mingjun raised his chin proudly and said proudly: "Yes, in the future, my brother will also have an old husband, and when your sister-in-law passes the door, we will be a family. Haha. "

A pair of Lao Tzu married the Seven Fairies, and the attitude of you can only be greedy is really a bit hot.

Zhou Mingyu tried his best to hold back his laughter and nodded, "Congratulations, brother, let's go."

Zhou Mingjun yelled at the donkey and hurried away.

After Mo Ru got home, she rode a bicycle to pick up a circle of bugs. When she arrived at Qinjialing in the south, she happened to meet Qin Guihao. There were many apricot trees in their village, so she picked a big bag of yellow apricots for her and came back.

Mo Ru asked, and the village leaders were not very good at making up lessons, but Renjiazhuang next door was quite good.

Also shot one!

Mo Ru didn't stay too long, and went home carrying apricots.

After dinner in the evening, the members went to pack up the farm tools and prepare the tools for wheat harvesting. Mo Ru took her daughter for a walk and caught a few cicadas.

Go home and sleep at about eight or nine o'clock.

Zhou Mingyu came back from the outside, took a shower in the yard and then entered the house.

Mo Ru was telling a story to her daughter to lull her to sleep. Zhou Qiqi went crazy outside today. At this moment, a story about a black chicken country fell asleep before she could finish it.

Mo Ru tilted his head and glanced at him, "The water is still cold, be careful of catching a cold."

"It's alright, the sun is hot." Zhou Mingyu put on his shorts and went on the kang shirtless.

It's nice to have a golden-fingered daughter-in-law, and there are no mosquitoes at home.

Because there are no mosquitoes, their house has no mosquito nets, and the attic windows and rear windows are opened, and the coolness of the house is not hot at all.

He lay down on Mo Ru's side carefully and gently touched her lower abdomen, "Is it moving?"

Mo Ru smiled and said, "It's amazing, it really does, I feel like someone is there. blowing bubbles."

Zhou Mingyu leaned over to listen, but he didn't hear anything. He stood up and touched his daughter again, kissing her little feet. He just took a bath and wiped the cucumber water, which was refreshing.

He leaned to one side and chatted with Mo Ru, "I'm thinking about it, we have to add more obstacles to Cui Fazhong, and this democracy supplementary lesson can't be supplemented only by others but not his family. Since we want to dig out the cancer hidden among the people, Isn't this tailor-made for his family?"

Mo Ru was overjoyed, yes, the fifth brother is the best at writing anonymous letters!

......

Soon the commune and the county party committee received anonymous letters, reporting that Cui Fahou, the elder brother of Cui Fazhong, the former secretary of the Mojiagou Brigade, had been an interpreter for the Japanese army before liberation.

Because he was a personal translator for an officer of a certain day, he seldom went out, and he never dealt with the anti-Japanese organizations behind the enemy, so many people did not know.

Although they had secretly funded anti-Japanese organizations during the Anti-Japanese War, when the Japanese surrendered, their family even gave all their property to finance the war of liberation.

But this can't hide the fact that their family is prepared with both hands and has both sides!

As soon as these anonymous letters came out, Liu Hongqi was so frightened that he hurriedly rode his bicycle to the county party committee to report to Secretary Lv.

At this time, Secretary Lu also received an anonymous letter, but he didn't know what to do. He was different from Gao Ruiyang, and in general, he was seeking stability.

Because of the serious implications of this matter, Secretary Lu himself did not dare to make up his mind at will, so he still called the prefectural committee to report.

He called Gao Ruiyang directly. Gao Ruiyang told him to keep it strictly confidential after hearing about it, and he must not go out of his way. He would report to Secretary Fu in person.

It is better to kill by mistake and not let it go. This is the current policy. No matter how much credit the Cui family has, it must be thoroughly investigated.

Under the operation of Gao Ruiyang, the prefectural committee immediately ordered a two-way secret investigation, one from the bottom and the other from the military, and must not let any tumor be spared.

At this time when we are biased towards the left and not the right, and we would rather make a wrong judgment than slip through the net, this situation must be taken seriously.

However, in order not to be alarmed, the prefectural committee ordered that no news be leaked, and the prefectural committee personally appointed a secret investigator to take charge of the matter.

In fact, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, there were many big landlords and big capitalists who strongly supported the revolution.

In the land reform, these people were not hurt much.

Later, in the social education movement, they basically didn't lose much, but during the Cultural Revolution, because the movement was nationalized and younger, many talents were unlucky one after another.

Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru didn't know the prefectural committee's arrangement, because they didn't hear anything, and they didn't hear that Cui Fazhong was being investigated, so they thought that the anonymous letter might not take effect, and the leaders didn't believe the report letter.

However, he wanted the Cui family to have a taste of this in advance. Even if he could not catch the cancer of Cui Fahou, he could plant the seeds of doubt.

When there is a chance, they will go to the Laogai farm and find a way to get the exact evidence that Cui Fahou is an interpreter from Uncle Mo! If there is definite evidence, the Cui family is nothing at all. In the face of class struggle, reactionaries are all paper tigers, as long as they are identified as reactionaries!

Mo Ru has other things in mind. It's still 60 years old, so he can't ignore the outside environment just because his team is in good condition, but she still needs to prepare more!

Zhou Mingyu smiled and immediately understood what his daughter-in-law meant.

The two took advantage of the fact that when they returned to their parents' house, they stayed overnight, and at night they quietly went to the cemetery while they found the tortoise. Perhaps because of the trouble of making up the class, Cui Fazhong also relaxed his vigilance, and there was no one patrolling here.

This time Mo Ru was not polite at all, she could fit as much as she could, anyway, the space was huge!

Chapter 219 Distressed

    The reason why they didn't report these secret cellars but kept them was because the two thought that after reporting, the food would definitely be transported away and not left to the members.

But the two of them thought that this winter or the next winter, the life of the common people will be even more difficult. They have food, and they can find a way to help them.

Nowadays, the canteens of many brigades can no longer be established. It is actually not difficult to secretly help the people. It only needs to be quietly thrown at the door or in the yard. It is even a way to throw it in the mouse's nest and let people dig it.

For a huge government, 200,000 catties of grain is nothing, but for the starving people, a bite of grain can save a life.

Can save one is one.

And if you report this food, even if Cui Fazhong is taken down, it will be useless if Cui Fahou cannot be ripped off. Only by tearing off Cui Fahou and destroying their power in Mojiagou can they truly be brought down.

Zhou Mingyu felt that he couldn't be too anxious and asked for stability and safety first.

If he can't move him this year, he can at least plant the seeds of suspicion. When the social movement starts, and after a few more times, he won't believe that the Cui family can't be swayed!

After all, this is an era of movement. It is really three years of Hedong and three years of Hexi, not thirty years.

Zhou Mingyu was actually not worried about overturning the Cui family. As long as he and Mo Ru stood firm, it was only a matter of time before people could not move them or the Cui family.

Because there is no impermeable wall in this world, and paper can't cover the fire, so he is not in a hurry at all.

So stealing food is better.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day... Mojiagou didn't move at all. The two also felt very puzzled, what happened to Cui Fazhong?

So quiet and quiet? Not normal. The two of them went to their parents' house as if nothing had happened, and looked on from the sidelines, and found that the members were busy harvesting wheat, and there was nothing unusual!

They asked their parents and second brother, but they didn't find anything wrong.

Oh, by the way, Mo Yingfei noticed that his cousin Mo Yingtang had a green lump on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what to do.

Also, I haven't seen Cui Fazhong for a few days, maybe he's out for a meeting.

But soon Mo Ru knew that Cui Fazhong was ill.

It is said that he has a cold and is sweating at home.

Mo Ru snickered, it seems that this is sick from anger, so good!

On the way home with Zhou Mingyu, she and Zhou Mingyu had a lot of fun all the way, relying on this to have fun for a lifetime! ! !

In the blink of an eye, the Pioneer Brigade was about to harvest wheat, so Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru did not go to Mojiagou anymore.

Of course they didn't know how much forbearance Cui Fazhong had used, and how much he had been injured to endure without having a seizure.

They didn't find it the second day it was stolen. On the third night, Cui Fazhong personally opened the cellar door to see the grain.

Check to see if there is any mold, take it out to dry, or replace it with this year's new harvest, take out the old grain, dry the new grain and put it in.

When he opened the cellar door, a strong smell of mildew mixed with the smell of grain came into his nostrils. Instead of avoiding it, he took a deep breath and felt that it was the best smell in the world!

He held up the lantern and shone it in all directions—and again!

...

Cui Fazhong wondered if he was blind, and looked at his hands hard, the five fingers were as good as before, and there was nothing wrong with them.

But... food! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

He ran over quickly, every grain hoarded, every big vat, all empty!

! ! ! ! ! !

He ran through several cellars, except for the cafeteria and several fixed warehouses of the brigade, which were all hollowed out!

empty! ! !

empty!

null!

!

.

Ahhhh...! ! ! So distressed. . . . ...

Cui Fazhong clenched his fists, let out a low roar, trembling all over his body, the lantern in his hand fell to the ground, and with a "pop", he fell to pieces, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Every time he came to the cellar himself with the key, so no one knew when he passed out, and then he woke up by himself.

I just felt the pain as if my head was about to burst, my whole body was cold and hot, and my hands and feet were freezing.

He got up tremblingly, and "thumped" and fell to the ground again.

After a long time, he came back to his senses.

It's over... it's over... it's over, it's over...

The food is stolen.

who is it?! He wants to kill this hateful thief, he wants to find out and destroy his nine clans! ! ! ! !

Immediately, his heart was seized by a huge fear. Did the government find out?

If found out, it's over...

No, no, calm down, no, if the government finds out, it won't move quietly, and will definitely arrest him directly.

Who is that?

Mo Shujie?

No, the Mo Shujie family went to bed early every day, and there was no movement at all.

He has been sending people to watch.

Moreover, Mo Shujie didn't seem to know that this cellar existed at all. At that time, Mo Shuren didn't tell him at all because he was afraid of affecting his younger brother.

This Cui Fazhong is very sure!

Those two model workers?

Neither Mo Shujie knew, nor did they know.

Besides, even if they knew, how could it be possible to remove so much grain?

impossible! ! !

From the beginning, Cui Fazhong was distressed, then feared, and now he is completely confused.

What's going on?

He couldn't figure it out, who could empty so much food in one night, even if it was two days, two nights and ten days.

impossible.

I can't even figure it out.

Just like that, he actually spent a whole night in the cellar thinking about it for half a day!

Madam Wu thought he had gone somewhere else, so she ignored him without seeing him for breakfast.

At noon the next day, Cui Gongfen suddenly received an urgent letter from his father and rushed back to find him, only to find that they did not seem to have seen him.

It was Cui Gong who was still very clever, remembering something, and hurriedly took the secret letter to the cellar to find him.

The cellar door was closed from the inside, and he knew that his father was inside, so he tried to open the door and walk in.

The musty smell in the cellar mixed with the strong smell of kerosene made Cui Gongfen almost vomit.

He couldn't see clearly, so he had to strike a match, "Dad, you are here." He didn't hear any reply, but he knew that Cui Fazhong was there, so he quickly went to find a lantern to light it, and carried it in.

He looked around and found Cui Fazhong kneeling on the ground in the depths.

Cui Fazhong, who was in high spirits at first, now has all white hair, and his eyes that used to be piercing tigers have now lost his vigor.

Cui Gongfen hurried over, "Father!"

Cui Fazhong's eyes turned and looked at his son, "It's over, it's over..."

Cui Gongfen then realized that the food was missing. He was younger than Cui Fazhong and more No matter what happened, he became furious on the spot, "What's the matter, who! Who did it! Is it the captain? I see him..."

"No." Cui Fazhong told him not to be impatient, "No."

Cui Faping has no such ability . .

Cui Gongfen still wanted to talk about food, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.

Cui Fazhong looked at the letter, with three bars drawn on it, and couldn't help but change his expression. This was an urgent letter sent with the help of their eyeliner. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

He hardly dared not to touch the letter.

Cui Gongfen just remembered, and quickly picked it up, opened it and handed it to him, "Father."

Cui Fazhong glanced at the light, and suddenly it was like a thunderclap, almost knocking him unconscious.

With a flash in front of his eyes, he shook it, and then went through the news in his mind: Someone anonymously reported that Cui Fahou had worked as an interpreter for the Japanese!

He cheered up and took a closer look. It was okay, it was just an anonymous letter. The county party committee and the commune didn't believe it. They just made a phone call with the army and asked about Cui Fahou's resume, but nothing else.

It is safe to say so.

Just, be careful.

Since someone reported anonymously, there must be someone who knew something, but not much. Maybe it was because they heard someone say that? Therefore, there is no evidence when reporting, but the organization thinks that someone is random climbing and biting!

He felt that he had to warn his elder brother.

Keep a low profile and do business well.

"The food thing..." Cui Fazhong felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't breathe because of the pain. He tried to endure it. "Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Cui Gongfen was horrified.

Cui Fazhong spat out a mouthful of bruised blood, but felt more comfortable, and waved his hand, "Don't make a sound!"

Cui Gongfen nodded mechanically, thinking about so much food, it really hurts like cramping.

Cui Fazhong took two steps, his legs softened, and his body fell down.

Cui Gong quickly grabbed him with his eyes and hands, and finally sent him back to the house, and asked a doctor to see him.

But Cui Fazhong refused, and only let him eat Baoxin Pills from the family.

After taking the medicine, he fell asleep for a while, and slept directly for a day and a night. When he woke up, there was a feeling like a lifetime, and a sense of powerlessness came from the bottom of his heart. This era has allowed their family to prosper, and it has also restricted the wings of their family. If this was in the past, if anyone suffered a loss for their family, they would definitely... let their family be destroyed before they can vent their anger! !

He stared at his eyes, stared at the house fence, and his heart burned with anger.

There must be absolutely no publicity, no exposure, this matter can only knock down teeth and swallow blood.

In addition, the anonymous letter can only be investigated quietly without any publicity, and it is necessary to pretend not to know, and absolutely cannot let the government know that he already knows the news. Exercising more at this time, they themselves are good players in sports. Taking advantage of sports to get rid of the Mo family, if others want to get rid of them through sports, it is not impossible.

So don't panic, don't be afraid, don't mess yourself up, take your time.

He had to remind his eldest brother to see if he had offended someone in the army, and they were jealous and deliberately harassed him.

So, in any case, this incident can only be regarded as never happened.

I didn't expect his Cui family to be bullied and pretend that it never happened. It's really...

so distressing! ! !

Chapter 220 Borrowing a Model Worker

    This year, the Dragon Boat Festival is in the front, and the awns are planted in the back, so the wheat matures a little later.

They already have their own mature wheat harvesting experience, and they just need to follow the steps and they will naturally not be in a hurry.

Although there is still a large area of ​​drought this year, because there is no shortage of water in the village, Zhou Chengzhi has been leading the commune members to keep watering the wheat, so their team still has a bumper harvest of wheat.

Compared with some battalions outside, the yield per mu is estimated to be more than double that of others.

Others are in the early 100 jins, they can at least produce more than 200 jins per mu, and the good ones are more than 300 jins.

Under the scorching sun, the wheat waves are rolling, and the old men can be seen laughing.

But the team outside was not so lucky!

Last year, the reservoir was able to release water, but this year, more than a dozen reservoirs in Gaojin County are unable to release water.

The drought that lasted for two years has greatly reduced the wheat production, and the wheat harvest of many brigades is not optimistic.

But even if the production is reduced, there is still a harvest. Last year, I concentrated on catching locusts, and this year's pest situation has been improved to some extent.

Therefore, although the drought has reduced yields, the pests have been greatly reduced.

Just when Gaojin County was rejoicing, other counties outside were panicked.

Starting from the Yellow River Beach in the north, they suddenly found that a large number of locusts began to move in the summer of this year.

There are many locusts laying eggs on the Yellow River Beach every summer and autumn. If last winter was not so cold, and this spring and summer were relatively dry, the locust eggs that had been accumulated for several years would hatch all at once, and in a short period of time, they would become Great harm.

When the summer begins, the little grasshoppers are hopping, but the members don't think that, when the eve of the wheat harvest, they suddenly find that the locusts have become a disaster!

The locusts traveled all the way to the south, constantly gathering with the local locusts and gathering in swarms, carefully doing harm wherever they passed, and eating everything they could eat.

The first county to discover large-scale locust activity immediately reported to the prefectural committee and the Lin county. Everyone made an appointment for a contact signal, and notified the brother counties of the direction and trajectory of the locust with the letter of "Wolf Smoke".

The prefectural party committee quickly reported to the provincial party committee. In order to avoid the disaster of wheat harvest, the provincial party committee ordered the whole province to catch locusts, and applied to the central government to dispatch the People's Liberation Army of the military region of the province to help members catch locusts.

For a time, the province set off a wave of locust hunting.

After receiving the order to hunt locusts, Gaojin County was fortunate that they had been reported by the model workers last fall to eliminate the locusts in advance. This summer, they don't have to be so frightened and can harvest wheat as usual.

But the two neighboring counties panicked. Last year, they laughed at Gaojin County for being hungry and tossing around. Now it's ridiculous, and he almost cried.

Because the locusts in their county have already harmed crops in swarms, many vegetable gardens, cotton, corn, and seedlings have been harmed by them, and what is even more frightening is that there are many in the wheat fields.

Although it has not been eaten yet, if it is not dealt with in time, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will end soon.

If this crop of wheat is harmed again, then this summer's public grain purchase task is designated to fail, the rations are not enough, and the grain of each team will not last until the fall, then... I

can't imagine it!

Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously catch the pests.

But at this time, we have to catch locusts and harvest wheat, and the members are simply too busy!

In desperation, they had to secondment students, children, elderly and other weak laborers from Gaojin County, hoping that they could extend their brother's hand to help them catch locusts.

Especially model workers!

It happened that Gao Ruiyang was assigned by the prefectural committee to direct locust hunting and wheat harvesting in several counties, and the secretaries and magistrates of those counties rushed to him for help.

"Let's use Gaojin County's locust control model workers!"

So he ordered the commune, brigade, and production team to dispatch locust control model workers to help catch locusts.

Lin Shu personally came to the vanguard team to convey the order, "Comrade Mo Ru, please!"

Looking at Lin Shu's solemn expression, Mo Ru felt a little guilty.

Zhou Qiqi is leading a dog, a rooster and a goose to share with relish the candied apricots that Mo Ru made.

Hearing Lin Shu's words, she looked as if she could finally play to the fullest, and she was so excited.

Mo Ru glanced at her warningly and said to Lin Shu, "Director Lin, we are not alone in taking the locusts, it is the result of the joint efforts of our team members. I just go by myself, I'm afraid it's useless. "

Lin Shu naturally didn't doubt her, "Then...how many people do you need and what tools do you prepare?"

Last year, Mo Ru and Zhou Mingyu went to publicize the deeds of locust control and disaster relief. , Zhou Peiji and the fourth brother pulled it up, and also specially let Zhou Gongde and others weave a large net bag with hemp rope and rattan as a tool.

After all, if she was only one person, it would be easy to arouse suspicion, and with more people, she could bear some of the pressure.

Zhou Ming thought of this earlier, so when he made the report, he was the one to talk about it. Mo Ru only needed a symbolic nod and a few words. He deliberately gave people the impression that he was the master at catching locusts, but the Red Banner Commune specially promoted Mo Ru in order to create a model worker.

Therefore, Zhou Chenglian, Zhou Peiji, Zhou Minglin, Zhou Mingguo and others must follow her.

When Zhou Chengzhi heard that so many people were going to help, he was a little anxious, "Director Lin, it's not that we don't help, it's that we have to harvest wheat, and we can't afford to leave so many young people."

Lin Shu wondered whether he should send labor from other communes . to help?

Zhou Mingyu said, "Director Lin, the four of us will do it, but we need those counties to weave more of these big nets according to our requirements, and they will cooperate with us at that time."

Lin Shu was relieved to see their promise, "Too Well, let's go without wasting time."

Secretary Lu is of course anxious. After all, these locusts have wings. If they eat up neighboring counties, they will come to their Gaojin County. Whether it is out of morality or self-preservation, Gaojin County will help.

Not only the Hongqi Commune, but other communes also sent their own locust catchers. Although they were not as powerful as Mo Ru, they were already very good among ordinary people.

Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru's group rode the commune's carriage overnight to Gaocheng County in the north. If the locust swarms moved south, Gaocheng County would bear the brunt, so they had to set up a defensive line here.

The next evening they arrived in Gaocheng County.

It is said that the locusts on the Yellow River beach cover the sky and the sun is dense, which makes those who have not experienced the plague of locusts feel shivering.

Luckily they didn't mean to go south in large numbers, because there was still something to eat there.

Shan Jilai, the deputy secretary of Gaocheng County who is in charge of locust control, is in his forties.

Gaojin County was led by a deputy secretary surnamed Liu, as well as several section chiefs of the Agricultural Bureau, one of whom was Qiu Yun's father.

After the group met, they held a locust control meeting to discuss how to arrange manpower, which commune should be immediately supported by the disaster area, and a defensive line should be set up in the north to prevent the migratory locusts by the Yellow River from going south... We have to step up weaving those Big net bag and so on.

......

Gao Ruiyang is now in charge of the agricultural bureau at the prefectural party committee office, and there is a locust plague in the territory, which is a major event and has to be prevented.

He hasn't slept well for three days and three nights, and now his mind is buzzing, but he has to listen to the reports of several county magistrates.

"Secretary Gao, you have to think of a way. If this continues, our county will be eaten up."

Gao Ruiyang stared at his red eyes, "Have the pesticides been sprinkled?"

"Sprinkled, but... ... not much effect!"

"Not only on the beaches of the Yellow River, but also in those reservoirs. Seeing the bottom and bottom are all grasshoppers..."

"Our county is also..."

"The whole people have been mobilized to catch grasshoppers, the elderly and children are not falling, and they can catch a few every day. It's a hundred catties, but... there are too many damn grasshoppers!"

Especially the two troubled brothers in Wenchang County and Shanglai County, who are closest to the Yellow River Beach, the grasshoppers are eating happily in their county.

Gao Ruiyang snorted coldly. When we were busy with work last year, you were still joking. Now you know you are in a hurry.

Damn, last year I was busy with work, this year I should have watched your jokes, who knows I will have to worry about you!

"You can only call the military region for help!"

This year's situation is different from last year's Gaojin County. Gaojin County was only terrible, but this year it was a disaster.

Only the members of the commune are afraid that they will not be able to do anything, and they have to rely on the PLA to fight the locusts.

He asked several county magistrates to go back to prepare locust hunting tools, mobilized all the members to take action, and directly rectified and promoted Gaojin County's system last year in these counties.

Gao Ruiyang first called the office of Commander Zhang of the sub-military region in the region, reported the situation truthfully, asked them to clarify the disaster situation to the commander of the general military region of the province, and asked nearby sub-military regions to transfer troops to help fight the disaster.

After calling the military region and asking for instructions several times, the garrison commander of the military region in the province personally ordered the mobilization of several troops from the three nearby military regions to help catch locusts and set off to three counties on the banks of the Yellow River.

The plague of locusts is the worst here.

Unit 6211 is a refitted temporary unit. In addition to some recruits who need special training, there are also some who need to be reformed due to political issues. The composition of the unit is quite special.

Mo Yingtang was a recruit who was recruited by the Gaojin County Military Service Bureau last fall. He first underwent three months of recruit training and was reassigned at the end of the year.

Because of his young age and lack of strength, his grades in military training were only considered to be above average, and he was not listed as an honorable mention, but he was already good, and he was also literate, so he could be assigned to the communication class or other similar units.

But for some unknown reason, he was assigned to the cooking class and became a trooper.

He was not annoyed by this, anyway, the troopers were also soldiers. If they did not perform well, even the best troops would have to recover and go home next year. Even if he is a trooper, if he is good enough, he will have the opportunity to stay in the army through selection in the coming year without changing careers.

So after he came to the cooking class, whether it was cooking a big pot of rice or a small stove, he did it very seriously. He is not very diligent and talkative, and gets along well with his comrades in the cooking class, who like him very much.

Especially now that there is a shortage of food and supplies, and meat and vegetables are tight, other chefs are too lazy to use their brains, so they prepare meals according to the existing ones, but he insists on researching new dishes.

Without meat, it can also be made into braised pork. The content is gluten, winter melon or tofu. These are all stories that parents listen to when they tell ancient times.

He studied it and made it. The soldiers ate deliciously and said that the cafeteria craftsmanship is getting better and better. He didn't take any credit at all, it was a collective credit to the cooking class, and he even gave a veteran a good opportunity to change jobs and go to a state-run restaurant in the city, specializing in meat-replacement vegetarian dishes.

At this moment, news came from the communication team that the sub-military region is going to help the counties catch locusts, designate a few teams that must be dispatched, and let other team members take the initiative to sign up.

After Mo Yingtang heard about it, he did not hesitate to sign up.

"I said, Xiao Mo, why are you so stupid? We are conscripts, and we are going to change jobs next year, so why go to the dangerous front line? Do you think that grasshopper is easy to deal with? I tell you, my grandfather experienced a battle when he was a child. Locust plague, tsk tsk... Do you believe that scary scene, they eat people?"

"I believe."

"I believe you will go?" Zhang Bing, a cook who was a year older than him, said bitterly, "This is you, I can do anything to others. Don't say it, look at our cooking class, where did you sign up?"

"I'm going, you don't have to go."

Sure enough, an order was issued soon. The logistics department and the political department, as well as various troops that do not need high-intensity training and do not have combat patrol tasks on a daily basis, all asked to go out to help arrest grasshopper.

Zhang Bing stopped talking, he really didn't want to go, he was afraid of that thing!

Don't look at him from the countryside, but since he heard the story from his grandfather, he was afraid of grasshoppers when he was a child.

Mo Yingtang signed up to hunt for grasshoppers. For the cooking class, of course, it was more dangerous and harder than them, so everyone was very grateful. !

After the troops assembled and set off, Zhang Bing wiped away his tears and said to the short and stout squad leader, "Xiao Mo is a good comrade." The

squad leader nodded, "It's different from you."

Mo Ru didn't want to be with so many people Catch the locusts, so she can't use it fully, she has to act alone.

She discussed with Zhou Mingyu, "Little Brother, let's go north in the evening."

Zhou Mingyu: "I have already told my uncle and Peiji, let's say hello to Section Chief Qiu and leave.

" After saying hello, Mo Ru also asked for a bicycle, and explained to Zhou Chenglian and Zhou Peiji, asking them to lead the members here, and they would act alone.

Secretary Lv had something to say first, telling them not to restrict the model workers. She could do whatever she wanted without restraint, so Shan Jilai and others didn't care too much, but it was inevitable that she would murmur in her heart.

Zhou Mingyu and Mo Ru took two days of dry food and pickles from the work team. The two rode their bicycles all the way north. They crossed the trail along the way. Mo Ru collected pests while walking, and she had already collected a lot.

Before this trip, the things in the space have been placed, and the cellar and attic can be filled with food O(∩_∩)O

anyway, it will not delay the collection of locusts.

After walking for a long time, I saw a large reservoir in front of it, the Xiaoheishan Reservoir.

Xiaoheishan Reservoir is an artificial reservoir. It runs east-west in Gaocheng County, and runs north-south after entering Wenchang County.

This section has no water and exposed the dry bottom of the reservoir. This reservoir is a watershed. Locusts are active in the north, and the south is lighter, but only a small area is infested, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Locust eggs are the same existence as cicada eggs. They can be buried in the ground for several years or more. When the conditions are right, they will come out in full force, which can easily lead to disaster.

For example, the locust eggs underground in such a reservoir, even if it does not cover the sky and the sun in a large area, it will bring disaster to the whole county, but it is still very easy to harm the whole ten miles.

Even if the crops and vegetation are not only eaten, they will also cause irreversible damage to the crops. It is certain that the affected area is tens of thousands of mu.

So be careful.

At noon, the two stopped at the edge of the reservoir and looked around, thinking that this place was the best.

Zhou Mingyu: "Let's eat first."

Mo Ru took out the straw, water jug, and casserole from the space. Zhou Mingyu found a stone to build a suggested pot table, put the casserole on the table, and started to cook the mushroom chicken soup. When the soup was ready, Then pull the gnocchi in and open the pot.

Zhou Mingyu smelled it, "Ah, it smells so good! Daughter-in-law, put some leeks in."

Mo Ru took another pair of washed leeks from the space and cut them in directly with scissors.

Taking a breath, "Well, it's delicious!" The

two sat on the straw and had a delicious meal.

Mo Ru smiled and said: "Qiqi is not around, it's so quiet."

Zhou Mingyu glanced at her, "I miss your daughter."

Zhou Qiqi has this ability. She has a sweet mouth and looks cute, but she doesn't make a noise. People are annoying, people think about it when they don't see it for a day.

Mo Ru smiled softly, "I can't let her know that we miss her, or maybe I'll have more tails." A

gust of wind blew, and there was the fragrance of wheat waves, the fragrance of grass and soil, the smell of wild flowers and weeds, and the sound of Insects chirping.

Such a quiet and leisurely place is intoxicating, and such a beautiful nature is unbearable to destroy.

She looked at Zhou Mingyu in her eyes, and thought of her daughter in her heart, but she felt a sense of softness and a sense of responsibility at the same time. These are the pastoral fields that people depend on for their lives, and she will never allow the pests to eat them all!

...

Thinking of this, she felt a sense of pride in her heart, "I'm full, continue to work!"

When she was collecting mosquitoes before, she found that with her movements, those mosquitoes rushed forward desperately, as if they were attracted by something. , rushed forward one after another.

Locusts naturally do the same!

It's just that before, she didn't have enough brainpower and didn't have such a strong ability to control space, so the locusts could only be collected in small pieces.

But now that the space has been upgraded, she feels that she can give it a try.

She collected this piece of locusts first, and as she collected more and more locusts, she felt that the use of the power of space became more and more skilled.

She has to suspect that this space is specially used to eliminate pests, and other living things are forbidden to enter, but the pests are swept away.

In the evening, the dark clouds on the horizon are like western mountains, and the setting sun falls on it.

They turned on their flashlights and continued to ride north along the embankment, before reaching an area with a large number of locusts.

Mo Ru continued to activate the power of space, and the locusts here were more than ten times more than before. As she urged the power of space, the nearby locusts seemed to be attracted by something, and they all came in this direction. More and more, looking from the back, I saw a vortex faintly forming around them. The vortex became bigger and thicker, and finally swallowed them like a black cloud.

Mo Ru didn't feel any depression at the moment, she was very relaxed, and while collecting the locusts, she didn't forget to tease Zhou Mingyu, "Little Fifth Brother, I'll give you a basket and iron pot to buckle, and don't bite you when there are too many locusts. "

She threw a few things from the space to Zhou Mingyu.

Zhou Mingyu: "..."

He took a net bag, the others said that they were not needed, and he could take them later when he needed them.

Mo Ru took it back and continued to collect locusts.

At this time, in Wenchang County, near Xiaoheishan Reservoir.

Mo Yingtang was assigned to the fifth class of the temporary locust control team 3. After a long day of exhaustion, after eating at night, he laid a straw mat on the field and fell asleep.

When evening came, those insects became more active. Originally, they were only tiny flapping and jumping, but because of the huge number, they formed a buzzing and sizzling sound, which sounded strange and frightening.

He slept alertly since he was a child, especially when his head was on the ground, his voice was amplified several times, and Mo Yingtang woke up suddenly.

He pushed a few people next to him, "Listen, what's the sound?"

The soldiers were so tired that they stared and muttered, "It's windy, go to sleep, we have to catch grasshoppers in the morning."

Mo Yingtang turned over and wanted to go back to sleep, but when he heard the rattling sound, he suddenly sat up and rushed out.

Looking up outside, I couldn't see a single star, as if it was going to rain on a cloudy day.

The terrifying voice that had sounded a little bit disappeared again.

He touched the match, lit the lantern, and took it out to take a look, only to find that there were dense locusts in the sky at a low altitude, which was really creepy!

"Come on!" He shouted, "Get up!"

Soon the sleeping soldiers all got up. They sprayed, beat, caught with nets, and burned with torches...

Someone set a fire directly at the bottom of the river where there was no water.

The fire soared into the sky, reflecting half of the sky red. The locusts in the sky were roasted before they could escape, and fell directly to the ground, while the others flew quickly.

They are now in groups, as if they have a target and a leader, they will not fly or go backwards, but go all the way south.

In the light of the fire, they watched the blackness fall from the sky. Such a huge army of locusts is simply not something that ordinary people can fight against.

When it was dark, the soldiers had no way to move, and they all asked what to do.

At this time, a little soldier was bitten by a locust, and he cried out in fright.

At night, people couldn't see clearly, and there was no way to fight the locusts. The squad leader Pang Ziming shouted, "Ditching, digging!" With

an order, a few people made three moves to eliminate two, and quickly dug a small ditch with a depth of half a meter. Everyone Jump down quickly, and put a net bag, a thorn basket, etc. on your head.

Looking back on it later, they all felt that it was like a dream, and people could still be afraid of small locusts!

The humming sound was like a car!

After struggling through the night, in the early hours of the morning, they lifted the net pockets on their heads and looked around.

! ! !

The river beach that used to be overgrown with weeds is now actually bare!

The green crops on both sides of the strait now only have poles left, standing there naked, sparse and shabby.

Everyone: "..."

At this time, the team blew the whistle, "Assemble! While the locusts are resting, we have to take advantage of the situation to attack!"

"Destroy the pests! Let's go!"
