Chapter 25 Internal Struggle
Finally, by the time she got off work in the afternoon, Chen Miaomiao’s arms were almost exhausted. She had to squat down while planting cotton seedlings. When she stood up, her lower and lower legs were sore and swollen, and she was almost numb. Like my own legs.
Chen Miaomiao sat in the ditch for a long time before she recovered. She didn't understand why Fu Jingyou broke the appointment.
Feeling angry, Chen Miaomiao went straight to Fu's house with a small hoe when all the educated youths in the field went back, hoping to get an explanation.
Although she has the advantage of memory, Chen Miaomiao knows that people strictly controlled the relationship between men and women at this time.
She didn't dare to get too close to the Fu family, so she could only do the next best thing and wander around the threshing floor, glancing at the door of the Fu family from time to time.
There was a rope tied to the door knocker of the Fu family's door. After calming down and listening for a while, there was no movement in the house. Fu Jingyou should not be at home.
Fu Jingyou must be busy with other things temporarily, so he missed the appointment!
Chen Miaomiao tried hard to convince herself, picked up the hoe and was about to go back to the educated youth spot. Suddenly she heard a faint voice coming from behind the Fu family house, and the voice was a bit familiar.
Afraid of being seen, she staggered a few steps and leaned on the straw, using the cover of the straw to listen.
"Then I'll go first? Pack your stuff, turtle, but don't let it run away, or I'll ask you to pay for it!"
"Well, you go first."
The delicate yet arrogant tone reached her ears, and Chen Miaomiao immediately knew who it was, but it wasn't until Fu Jingyou's voice came from behind that she vaguely noticed something was wrong.
Fu Jingyou's voice was low and gentle, not as cold and cold as when he talked to her, nor the cold and withdrawn look in her memory...
Chen Miaomiao's lips trembled and she bit her subconsciously. Clench your teeth.
I'm almost pissed off!
She also convinced herself that Fu Jingyou was busy with other things, but it turned out that was not the case at all!
It’s because of Lu Miao!
Chen Miaomiao didn't dare to show her head. After Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou walked away one after another, she calmly walked out from behind the straw stomping.
Lu Miao got some ready-made seedlings and vegetable seeds from Chen Guifen. After returning to the educated youth point, he clapped his hands non-stop and shouted for a meeting.
The other educated youth didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but they were very cooperative with her and came to the door of the female educated youth.
They stood at the foot of the steps, while Lu Miao stood on the threshold steps, holding up green seedlings and vegetable seeds wrapped in old calendar pages and said:
"I will bring some vegetable seeds today. When I came back with Miao Miao, there was a vegetable patch in front of our educated youth village, but it’s a pity that it’s deserted now. I can’t say anything else. , let’s eat the vegetables grown together, so I’m asking you who is willing to take some losses and spend some time tidying up this vegetable plot?”
Geng Xiaoyun was the first to raise his hand, but he was not the one who took over the vegetable plot. Instead of doing his job, he asked:
“I said Lu Miao, how big is the vegetable field?”
Lu Miao said: "Just one piece of land."
After thinking for a while, he added: "But you can plant some climbing beans or melons on the edge. They climb up the trees, and it should be the same if they exceed the scope of the private land. It's okay. "
Geng Xiaoyun nodded and said "Oh". It seemed that she wanted to take the job, but there were too few voices in the crowd, so she didn't want to stand out.
Chen Miaomiao came back with a small hoe. Although she was absent for a short time, she had just walked around the corner of the pond and she could really hear what Lu Miao said.
Chen Miaomiao put down the hoe, and when she stood up, she suppressed the cold expression on her face, pursed her lips slightly and Nunuo suggested:
"Lu Miao, since everyone eats the vegetables grown together, why can't everyone work together? This is too unfair to those who take the initiative to work..."
In the Old Educated Youth , Yang Xiaojing suffered several defeats in front of Lu Miao. She had long been unhappy with Lu Miao, and now she was busy jumping out. Come, Chen Miaomiao echoed indignantly:
"Yes! We eat the vegetables we grow together, why can't we do the work together?"
Yang Xiaojing has flat features and her hairstyle is not like Geng Xiaoyun's. The neat ear-length short hair is not the shiny, thick and long braids like Lu Miao and Ren Bingxin. Yang Xiaojing's hair is about seven or eight centimeters long. Some of it is tied into two small braids on the side of her head. The remaining part that cannot be tied up is left loose at will.
This hairstyle is actually not uncommon in this era, but to Lu Miao, it still feels a bit funny.
At this time, Yang Xiaojing jumped out anxiously. When Lu Miao looked at her, he would not think that she was being used as a weapon, but would only think that she was really stupid.
Others whispered and seemed to agree with what Chen Miaomiao and Yang Xiaojing said.
Lu Miao simply stopped being anxious. She put the seedlings and seeds aside, patted the finely crushed dirt off her hands, and then crossed her shoulders with her hands and raised her chin slightly, looking at it lazily and contemptuously.
She wanted to see how far Chen Miaomiao and Yang Xiaojing could push this matter, and what tricks they could create.
And these people around me really don’t have the ability to distinguish things at all.
Chen Miaomiao faintly heard the voices of support and felt more confident.
Looking around at the crowd, Chen Miaomiao pretended to have some determination, bit her lip and said:
"It will be busy farming soon. There is more and more work in the fields, and no one is willing to do it." Easy. I think for the sake of fairness, it would be better to divide the work. ."
Yang Xiaojing snorted and said, "That's right, how can it be fair! Some people don't want to be lazy just for themselves, so they say that they ask people to come out to work voluntarily for the sake of everyone. Ha! What a fool!"
Fool?
Lu Miao chuckled, feeling that Yang Xiaojing really looked like a fool.
Before Lu Miao said anything, Ren Bingxin, who was closest to her, stood up and said, "How can you talk?"
Geng Xiaoyun also said: "That's right, just one point. What's the matter? If you don’t want to do it, then I will do it! I don’t mind making a contribution. When the food comes, we will eat together.” The whispering crowd gradually stopped.
Seeing that the matter was basically settled, Geng Xiaoyun was ready to pick up the hoe and start working. On the steps, Lu Miao stood upright proudly, "Who allowed you to move? I haven't finished the meeting yet!"
Geng Xiaoyun was cheerful and quickly begged for mercy and apologized.
Lu Miao snorted proudly and looked at Chen Miaomiao and Yang Xiaojing. She raised her hands and patted them, deliberately flattering:
"I think you two are very good. Yes, let me ask you, do you two want to do the work on your own land now? "
Chen Miaomiao stopped speaking at the right time, timidly lowering her head and not speaking.
She didn't mean that.
Yang Xiaojing is really like Leng Touqing, jumping up and down:
“If they don’t do it, why should I do it?”
Lu Miao pursed her red lips. Petal smiled, meaning He pointedly said:
“I thought you were setting an example for the sake of team harmony, but I’m sorry. I’ve been talking about it for so long just to stir up internal strife!”
