Chapter 1228 Touring the Village
A red sun slowly rose from the edge of the light blue sky.
Under the golden sunshine, the entire Xicao brigade seemed to be coated with a layer of gold paint. With smoke curling up from the kitchen, green trees, fences, earthen houses and fields, an intoxicating pastoral picture slowly unfolded.
“Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!”
In a corner of the village, a dark-skinned peasant man banged the gong in his hand. This was Ren Qiang, the captain of the third team. He is also Ren Lingling's father, Yang Qing's father-in-law, and one of the few big shots in the village who stands at the center of power.
He was holding the Pegasus cigarettes he just got from Chu Heng yesterday in his mouth. The 28 cents per box of filtered flue-cured tobacco had a strong and special aroma, and smoking was particularly refreshing.
He was reluctant to buy these cigarettes before, so when he went to commune meetings, he could get one or two cigarettes from commune cadres, and it was not often.
And now, he has two of these at home, as well as a bottle of Quanxing Daqu that even the commune secretary is reluctant to drink, all of which are filial piety from his precious uncle.
Thinking of yesterday When he was carrying his things home that night, the villagers looked at him with envy and jealousy. The smile on Ren Qiang's dark face became stronger and his waist was much straighter than before.
This time, let me see who dares to say that my daughter is a loser?
"Huh!"
Ren Qiang, whose father is a daughter, exhaled the fragrant smoke with a satisfied look on his face, slowly put away the gong, and while waiting for the members to come to work, he was thinking about the wait in his heart. I'm going to borrow a bicycle from my uncle so that I can go shopping in the commune. Then I'll go around the agricultural machinery stations, livestock stations, and supply and marketing cooperatives, so that all those bitches can take a look at his uncle's. New bike.
I envy them to death!
As the gongs sounded one after another, the whole village was awakened at this time.
Cocks crow, dogs bark, horses neigh, and cows bray, mixed with the laughter of commune members who get up early to go to work, interweaving a vibrant symphony.
In Yang Guizhi's house, when she heard the sound of the gong, Yang Guizhi sat up from the bed in a conditioned reflex and hurriedly got some clothes to put on her body.
But when she saw the brand new clothes in her hands without a patch, she realized in a daze that she had left this impoverished village, and what kind of job was she still in?
She patted her forehead, cursing herself for being stupid, then turned her head to look in the direction of the next door room, a grateful smile appeared on her simple face, then quickly put on her clothes and went to work The kitchen boiled water for the young couple who lived in the next room, who were almost a new favor to her.
Yang Guizhi brought back some wood from outside, filled some water into the pot, and then stuffed some firewood into the stove. After lighting the fire, she gathered things around the stove to prevent fire. When the fever came out, she didn't care about it. She quietly went to the door of the next door and took a look. Seeing that the two of them were sleeping soundly, she didn't disturb them, wiped herself and left the house.
She was going to her third uncle and grandpa's house to get the toiletries back and take a look at what was prepared for breakfast. The two of them in the family were very good at eating fine food. If they made a mistake, she would order some. Come back and cook some noodles.
Not long after Yang Guizhi left, Chu Heng and his wife also woke up.
To be precise, he was awakened by urination. As Ni Yinghong's body became heavier and heavier, various common diseases of pregnant women also appeared, such as lethargy, gluttony, edema, frequent urination, moodiness, etc., and they all continued. Same, it's almost torture to death.
After Chu Heng was awakened by his wife who got up to go for a convenience, he put on his clothes and accompanied her to the latrine. When he came back, Yang Guizhi happened to be back.
"You're awake, wash your face and brush your teeth quickly. The third master has already cooked the rice."
Yang Guizhi came back with a happy face, carrying a small bag, and a bright smile on her face In particular, when she just went to her third uncle's grandpa's house, she met some old ladies from the village and was praised a lot.
"Okay."
Chu Heng took the small bag containing the toiletries with a smile, and with Yang Guizhi's attentive help, he got some hot water from the pot, and after a hasty wash with his wife, The three of them went out talking and laughing and headed to the third uncle's grandpa's house.
They had not gone far when they met a group of children, some carrying bags or baskets, walking noisily out of the village. Seeing Chu Heng, two strangers who were well-dressed and good-looking, the children looked at them curiously and ran away shyly.
Ni Yinghong’s group of little guys who were dirty and even half-clothed curiously asked Yang Guizhi: “What are they going to do?”
< br>
"Going to hunt pigweed."
Yang Guizhi explained with a smile: "These children are too young and are not old enough to go to school. They are idle at home. They gather some pigweed and bring it back to the pig pen to feed the pigs. You can also mix in some delicious food.”
“That’s it.”
Ni Yinghong nodded suddenly. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with letting children work. These days, let alone rural areas, even children in the city go to pick up coal cores. She followed her brother when she was a child. I have picked up coal cores, and even got into a fight with someone over grabbing coal cores.
The three of them chatted and soon arrived at the third uncle’s grandpa’s house.
Yang Qing was squatting at the door of his home waiting to greet them. When he saw a few people coming, he quickly ran forward and enthusiastically welcomed them into the house.
The Yang family prepared a rich breakfast, not only large yellowed white flour steamed buns, thick white rice porridge, but also two side dishes, one with tofu mixed with green onions and one with stir-fried shredded pork.
When Chu Heng and the others were seated, Yang Qing, who had not gone to work because she had to prepare for her son’s marriage, eagerly served a bowl of porridge to Xiao Ni and said with a smile: “The conditions in the countryside are not as good as in the city. Don't take it personally. ”
“No way, this is much better than what we eat at home”
Ni Yinghong took the porridge with a smile, her appetite was as good as ever, Tu Lulu drank two bowls of porridge, I ate three big steamed buns.
After they had eaten and drank enough, an old man who didn't have to work in the team came to Yang's house, ready to help clean up the house and prepare things that needed to be prepared for tomorrow's banquet.
Ni Yinghong, who had a big belly, still wanted to help, but not to mention that Chu Heng couldn't agree, even the third uncle and grandpa didn't dare to, so they had to persuade him to go out.
"You're still helping with your body? I think you're just adding to the trouble."
Chu Heng helped his wife out of Yang's house dumbfounded, while Yang Qing accompanied Wang on the side. .
"Why can't I help? I can't do the heavy work, and can't I do the sewing?" Xiao Ni gave her husband a charming look, and walked with steady steps while holding the pointed lion in her arms. Head out to the side.
At this time, many children gathered outside the Yang family, watching curiously around Volga. The brave ones even reached out and touched it.
"Go, go, hurry up and play. If the car crashes and you sell it, you can't even afford the compensation!"
Yang Qing hurried over and drove the child away.
"Oh, it's okay, Yang Qing, this car can't be so delicate. Your brother usually kicks it with his feet, and he doesn't see anything wrong with it." Ni Yinghong liked children and quickly pulled Yang Qing away. When she came back, she looked timidly The children, who were far away from each other, thought for a while and said to Chu Heng: "Hey, Chu Heng, I remember there were some candies left yesterday, right? Are they still in the box?"
