Chapter 7 Chapter 7 He can think of this

Zhou Mancang also vaguely heard about the lawsuit between several people in the old Shen family, but he was busy distributing grain. Anyway, it didn't come to him and didn't affect the distribution of grain, so he simply pretended not to know.

If you are not dumb or deaf, you cannot be a patriarch. The team leader is the head of the whole village. It's the same principle.

But he didn't know that the fire would eventually burn him.

Zhou Mancang initially tried to shirk responsibility by saying that the matter was decided by Shen Shaoyuan and his brothers themselves, and that it was not convenient for the team cadres to interfere in the family affairs of the members. As a result, Shen Laoqi, who had always been honest and silent, seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today. Not only did he talk a lot, but he was also particularly difficult to deal with.

At the end, he even started to act like a spoiled brat, saying that his daughter had lost her mother at a young age and had lived with him, eating coarse food and sleeping in the open air, and had finally grown up. If anything happened to her because of living in a leaky and drafty house, he would hang herself at the gate of the brigade office with a rope.

Hanged at the entrance of the brigade.

How could he think of that!

Zhou Mancang looked at the skinny and pale Shen Moer, and finally nodded helplessly amid the voices of the onlookers, "They are indeed pitiful father and daughter", "Although it is a family matter, the brigade cannot ignore it", and "This people's production team cannot ignore the people", "You can find a few brothers to discuss it first. If you can't reach an agreement, the brigade will coordinate for you."

Shen Shaoyuan was well aware of the principle of knowing when to quit. As everyone was watching, he was not afraid that Zhou Mancang would go back on his word, so he immediately let go of the hand that had been pulling Zhou Mancang, thanked the members around him who had helped to talk, then picked up the sack and the bamboo basket and called Shen Moer to go with him.

Looking at the frail figures of the father and daughter, Aunt Chen sighed sympathetically: "Ah, they are both of the same temperament, honest and simple, it's really hard for them to survive without help!"

Zhou Mancang couldn't help but say, "How could such an honest man say such a thing as being hanged at the entrance of the brigade?! He kept talking so much, why didn't I realize he was so talkative before?"

Others are afraid of the team leader Zhou Mancang, but Aunt Chen is not: "Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. No matter how honest a person is, he won't resist when he is forced to live. Shen Laoqi only has Mo'er as his only child. If anything happens to Mo'er, he will hang himself. If the team cadres don't give him justice, he will have no choice but to hang himself at the entrance of the team office."

Zhou Mancang was speechless after being rebuked. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, it's your turn to get the grain."

The educated youth group was the last to distribute grain, and a group of them watched the whole process and listened to the gossip of other members to complete the whole story.

Although the male educated youth had a good impression of Shen Lingling, the female educated youth were actually just average, especially Wang Qiutong, who once had an argument with Shen Lingling because they wanted to buy the same beautiful piece of clothing.

Although Shen Lingling gave in in the end, Wang Qiutong, who bought the braj, did not feel good because the incident was publicized and known to everyone. Everyone said that Shen Lingling was magnanimous, while Wang Qiutong was given a reputation for being willful and capricious.

Wang Qiutong and Shen Lingling met by chance in the county department store. No one else was present at the time, so it was obvious who spread the news.

"Oh, it's not enough to just rob people's houses, they also robbed their food and forced their own uncle and cousin to death. They are so kind, too kind." Wang Qiutong curled her lips. The villagers were all fools, unlike her, who had already seen through Shen Lingling's true face.

Zhang Zhiqiang said with a dark face: "Wang Qiutong, don't say sarcastic things behind Comrade Shen Lingling's back just because you have a conflict with her. There may be a misunderstanding. Besides, family affairs are decided by the elders, and have nothing to do with Comrade Shen Lingling."

Wang Qiutong rolled her eyes at him: "You keep calling her Shen Lingling, do you think she's paying any attention to you? You're being too sentimental!"

The other female educated youth couldn't help laughing.

Wang Qiutong's words really touched Zhang Zhiqiang's lungs. Zhang Zhiqiang was speechless and hesitated for a long time before he uttered four words: "Unreasonable!"

*

Shen Moer didn't know about the lawsuits that took place after they left. The father and daughter carried the food back home, and before it got dark, they heated up the porridge left over from lunch and had dinner with some snacks.

Soon it was dark, and Shen Moer found the only kerosene lamp in the house according to her memory and lit it.

The father and daughter sat opposite each other, looking at the only source of light in the dark room, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Shen Shaoyuan suddenly stretched out his finger and knocked on the glass cover of the kerosene lamp, sighing: "This so-called glass is somewhat similar to colored glaze. In Daliang, let alone such a poor family, even ordinary rich families can't afford colored glaze."

Shen Moer also stretched out her fingers and tapped: “Glass is not as thin and transparent as it.”

Shen Shaoyuan: "It is just right to use it as a lampshade."

Shen Moer: "It's better to replace the window paper."

In the original owner's memory, many houses in the commune were equipped with "glass windows".

Shen Shaoyuan nodded: "This kerosene is also very good."

Shen Moer also nodded: "It would be best if we don't have to lose our heads and become the dead souls under the swords of the rebels."

The father and daughter looked at each other, sighed together, and smiled at the same time.

During the day, they were busy adapting to their new identities and had no time to think much. At night, there were only the two of them and it was pitch black all around, as if they were back to the time when they were hiding in the treasure house and living in constant fear.

Encountering a great disaster, escaping death, and coming to a strange world... one after another, no matter who it is, they will be in a daze for a few days.

Fortunately, both the father and daughter are easy-going and go-with-the-flow people, so just chatting with each other for a few minutes can be considered as comforting each other.

This family is poor, and the village looks poor too, but this alien world does have many places that Daliang cannot compare to. At least they have survived. With the abilities of this father and daughter, are they still afraid that they can't live a good life?

Although they didn't say it out loud, both the father and daughter understood what each other meant.

Now that you are here, make yourself comfortable.

God has given them a glimmer of hope, so let's live well.

In the past, in the palace, you could drink, enjoy the moon, read books, play the piano, and watch singing and dancing at night... Now there is only a kerosene lamp, and the lamp oil is not cheap, so it’s better not to bother and go to bed early.

The sun is very strong today, so the mat has dried out, but the bedding is still a little damp.

In fact, even if they were all dried, the father and daughter would not be interested in the tattered mats and bedding. Needless to say, the two of them entered the treasure house tacitly.

There were beds and quilts in the treasure house. The beds were made of golden nanmu wood, which was warm in winter and cool in summer. The quilts were made of the best silk cotton and brocade, which were commonly used by the father and daughter.

but.

"What should I do if the bedding gets dirty after sleeping?" Shen Moer asked her father through the screen while lying in the smooth and soft bedding.

Shen Shaoyuan was stumped by her question.

It is definitely not a good idea to take it outside to wash and dry, but it is even worse to not wash and dry it at all.

After a while, he said, "Sleeping in the treasure house is not a long-term solution. We still have to find a way to repair the house and buy some new bedding."

Shen Moer responded and said nothing more. Her mind was spinning around in thoughts about what had happened that day, and she fell asleep without knowing when.

The next day, Shen Shaoyuan still carried his hoe to work, but Shen Moer didn't have to go.

Because when distributing grain yesterday, the team leader said that it's been hot lately and there's not much work to do in the fields. From today on, except for strong laborers, women, especially the elderly, will not be forced to work. Shen Moer, who just fainted in the fields, naturally doesn't have to go.

But Shen Moer was not idle at home either.

When she was a princess, she didn't have to worry about anything. When she was free, she could go out to swim in the lake to escape the summer heat. Now, she has come to another world and become an ordinary farmer, no, a girl from a poor peasant family. If she continues to be like before, she will either starve to death or freeze to death sooner or later.

After breakfast, Shen Moer took apart the bedding that she had dried in the sun yesterday.

I took the quilt outside to continue drying in the sun, and I also found a stick to pat it. Unfortunately, the cotton wool had already become hardened, and patting it a few times did not have any effect at all.

Shen Moer took the quilt cover outside to the well, washed it carefully, and then brought it back to hang on the bamboo pole outside the door.

Although her house was shabby, it actually had its advantages. Next door was the landlord's yard. The outer wall of the yard had been demolished, and a row of houses were used as the brigade office. There was a well not far from the door.

The well was originally in the yard, but now that the courtyard wall is gone, it is now in a public area, which is very convenient for their family.

Members living nearby would also come to fetch water, but it was not as convenient as her house. After all, her house was originally owned by the landlord, and it was definitely much closer than others.

Shen Moer was quite satisfied.

After hanging up the bedding, Shen Moer cleaned the house inside and out. Then she picked up the bamboo basket, put on her tattered straw hat with only half a brim, and went out.

Shen Moer walked all the way from the west end of the village to the east end, and soon arrived outside the village primary school.

In the past two years, in order to respond to the call of "setting up schools at the doorsteps of poor and lower-middle peasants", many brigades have set up schools one after another. The village primary school in Yangliu Brigade was opened the year before last. It currently has only two classes and two teachers.

One is Shen Lingling, and the other is the old educated youth Cheng Tao, both of them have a high school education.

Nowadays, there are many village primary school teachers with only junior high school education or high primary school education. It is rare that both teachers in the village primary school of Yangliu Brigade have high school education.

In fact, local high school graduates like Shen Lingling have the opportunity to enter government agencies or enterprises and institutions. Of course, Shen Lingling also secretly applied for the exam, but unfortunately she failed.

No one in the village knew about this.

But she was lucky. Soon the village had a primary school, and she, the only high school student in the team, naturally became a teacher.

Shen Lingling's academic performance is average, otherwise she would not have failed the recruitment exams so many times. After repeatedly failing, she is now very interested in the job of village primary school teacher. In particular, last year a teacher from Songshu Brigade was transferred to the commune primary school, which made Shen Lingling see the room for advancement in her job, and secretly hoped that she could also go to the commune primary school, the county primary school, or even the city primary school.

Therefore, when Shen Lingling saw Shen Moli appear outside the village primary school, her heart skipped a beat.

But she still remembered that Shen Moer was thinking about her job!

Just as the test papers and certificates were distributed, the children cheered and shouted "It's holiday time" and "Goodbye, teacher", and quickly scattered. Shen Lingling had something on her mind, so she didn't pay much attention to the students, but walked quickly towards Shen Moer: "Shen Moer, what are you doing here?"

When Shen Moer saw her, she said innocently, "This is a place in the village. There is no rule that members can't come here, right?" She hesitated and said, "You are so fierce, you are not going to bully me again, are you?"

Shen Lingling: “…”

Angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I bully you?!"

Shen Moer muttered: “Borrowing a house and stealing food, isn’t that considered bullying?”

Without waiting for Shen Lingling to refute, she immediately added: "Besides, I came here to see Principal Cheng. It has nothing to do with you."

She snorted and ignored Shen Lingling. She turned and walked towards Cheng Tao. She talked to Cheng Tao for a few words while they stood there, and then they went into the teacher's office next door together.

Shen Lingling had a preconceived idea and always felt that Shen Moer was up to something bad. Just as she was hesitating whether to go over to take a look, Shen Moer had already walked out with a smile on her face.

She didn't even look at Shen Lingling and just walked away briskly.

The more Shen Lingling thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. After much deliberation, she went into the office and asked Cheng Tao indirectly what Shen Moli was doing there.

Cheng Tao wore a pair of glasses and looked a bit mature. When he heard Shen Lingling's question, a playful smile appeared on his slightly serious face and he said, "Comrade Shen Moer came to borrow my high school textbooks. She said that you guarded the textbooks like your own eyes and refused to lend them to her. After she borrowed the textbooks, she would study hard to catch up with you. Haha, you two sisters are quite interesting."

Shen Lingling: “…”

When did Shen Moer ever ask her to borrow textbooks? Never!

Although Shen Lingling would not lend Chen Moer money if she really asked her, the fact is that Chen Moer never asked her for it at all!

Lie, this two-faced person lies!
