Chapter 81 Chapter 81 1

These days, there is only one day off on the weekend, which is called Battle Sunday. After all, after a week's work, all the cleaning, shopping, and visiting relatives and friends have to be concentrated on this day.

Shen Moer and Fu Mingze also spent a "battle" weekend.

This battle is different from that battle. After all, they are really helping the people around them to "fight".

Zhou Chuntao did not dare to go against the brigade and finally returned the money to Zheng Jiamin. Then the wives of Zhou Qingguo and his brother found out about it.

Originally, the men were supposed to help their elder sister-in-law who was kicked out by her husband's family. Although they felt a little uncomfortable, they still accepted it.

Now that I know that my eldest sister-in-law and her daughter are so scheming, I can't help but wonder in my heart, with such means, why would I be kicked out of the house by my husband's family? Even if I am kicked out, I will at least get some meat from my husband's family, right?

At the beginning, they were kicked out of the house and their brothers couldn't bear to see this, so they squeezed a room in for them and also gave them food and money.

If they hadn't been kicked out with nothing... wouldn't both families have been made the scapegoats?

The two sisters-in-law discussed it quietly and then went back to their parents' homes.

Without doing anything else, he went to Dongshan Brigade to find out what happened to Zhou Chuntao and her two children.

This is a later story.

Chen Moer settled Zhou Zhaodi, but although she had agreed with the landlord and his mother, Zhou Zhaodi was still in school. In the afternoon, Chen Zhuangzhuang took her and Maomao to the county. If she came back on weekends, she would live in the room borrowed from the brigade. However, she had to go to school and wanted to be an apprentice, so she would not come back often.

This matter quickly spread throughout the commune.

After all, the biological father is still alive. It is very rare for a ten-year-old child to be separated and live on his own, especially when the child has to pay money to the family.

When Chen Moer and the others returned to the family compound of the commune, Liu Guizhi came over curiously to ask, "Parents should give money to their children. How can they let their children pay? Isn't this upside down?"

"That's normal, but if that's the case, how could her father agree to separate from her? If she stays in that home, even if her education is free, will her father really let her graduate from high school? She's still young now. What if there are greater benefits than free education when she's a little older?"

Shen Moer: "Even if she finishes school and gets a job, will her father ask her to transfer the job to her brother? Will he use her for money again? Will he do something even more shameless? It's hard to say."

"That's right. In my hometown, there was a father who sold his daughter to a brothel. If that's the case, it's better to leave and live on your own." Liu Guizhi sighed and said, "In fact, life is better now. In the early years after the war, many children were left without parents. They grew up with a little help from the neighbors."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Liu Guizhi took the dishes that Shen Moer brought her and went back.

In this commune, you have to buy every onion and every clove of garlic. Although the vegetables are not expensive, it is still an expense.

Shen Moer's family planted a lot of vegetables in their private plot, and Fu Mingze took very good care of them. The family of three couldn't eat so much, so sometimes they would give some to their neighbors.

Liu Guizhi would not take it for nothing, and would give something in return every now and then.

Whether it is relatives, friends or neighbors, only by interacting with each other can we maintain good relationships.

"What's wrong with Zhou Ping'an? It's already this late and he hasn't gone home yet." Liu Guizhi muttered in the corridor.

Shen Moer glanced at the time and it was indeed a little late.

Although she taught Zhou Ping'an art class, she didn't have much contact with him. The child didn't know whether he had a deep impression of her as a "female tyrant" or not. Whether in the family compound or at school, he would avoid her like a mouse seeing a cat.

However, he has always completed his art class assignments well. Shen Moer even wanted to wait until the end of the semester to ask Liu Guizhi whether she should let him be an apprentice in the embroidery factory.

Zhou Ping'an's academic performance is not very ideal. According to his class teacher, his hope of getting into high school is slim.

Shen Moer didn't think much about it. She was a little tired after a whole day of hard work. Fu Mingze had already boiled some water while she was talking to Liu Guizhi, and called her to go wash up.

After washing up and feeling more awake, they returned to their room and leaned against the head of the bed, exchanging their “experiences” from the whole day’s work.

Shen Moer had vaguely heard something about Shen Jiamin before, but now after listening to Fu Mingze's detailed account, she was a little surprised. After all, in her impression, Zheng Jiamin was quite smart and shrewd, and she didn't expect that he would be fooled by Zhou Chuntao and her daughter.

Fu Mingze didn't find it strange: "He is smart in small matters but confused in big matters, and he is soft-hearted, especially since the other party is a little girl, he didn't think about it in other ways at all."

He does have a somewhat innocent heart, if he really had a heart as sharp as a sieve, Fu Mingze would not dare to get too close to him.

It was intentional, and besides, Zhou Chuntao and her daughter were not simple people.

Knowing how to turn your disadvantages into advantages and gaining sympathy from others by showing weakness sounds simple, but there are actually very few people who can really do it.

Shen Moer also mentioned that she was going to let Lu Dongyun participate in embroidery. Fu Mingze's eyes flashed and asked, "Don't you think it's bad to let the women of the landlord's family do these things?"

Shen Moer thought it was bad, but she forgot that her Fu Zhiqing was a good young man with a good family background. She thought about it and hurriedly said, "It is not good to let bad elements do these things, but there are too few skilled workers now, production and construction are the most important. Besides, this is also an opportunity for them to reform through labor and contribute to the socialist construction of the motherland. After all, earning foreign exchange is the most important task of the embroidery factory."

Fu Mingze lowered his eyes slightly.

Shen Moer came to Fu Mingze, hugged his thin waist, rubbed her face against his body, and muttered, "I'm sleepy."

Fu Mingze picked her up and pecked her on the lips: "Then go to sleep."

Although he said "go to sleep", his hands had no intention of letting her go. His slender fingers reached into the soft and close-fitting pajamas, bringing a tingling sensation. He then gave Shen Moli's eyes, nose, and lips a hot kiss, which deepened over time.

With a click, the light cord was pulled, and the room fell into darkness. The only sounds in the silence were suppressed gasps and low moans.

Chen Moer was actually quite sleepy, but after all the tossing and turning, she gradually became more awake. Especially after an unknown amount of time, when Fu Mingze brought water from outside to wipe her, she actually heard a clear scream from next door.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized her voice was a little hoarse. Fu Mingze glanced at her and handed her an enamel cup beside her: "Drink some water first."

The noise next door was getting louder and louder. Shen Moer gulped down a whole glass of water, lifted the quilt and sat up: "Go and have a look, maybe there is something wrong."

Fu Mingze glanced at her flushed face, reached out and pushed her back: "Lie down, I'll go take a look."

Shen Moer lay back down obediently, and saw Fu Mingze going out with the enamel basin. Not long after, she heard the sound of her door opening, and then she could vaguely hear Fu Mingze talking at the next door.

It should not be long, but Shen Moer felt sleepy again and closed her eyes unconsciously. Then she heard the sound of her door closing in a daze. Fu Mingze seemed to say something to her father outside. When Fu Mingze lay down beside her again, Shen Moer could not even open her eyes.

She used up her last bit of consciousness to ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's their Zhou Ping'an, he just came back..."

Fu Mingze seemed to have said a lot, but Shen Moer could no longer hear him. She fell asleep as soon as her consciousness sank. When she was having breakfast the next morning, Shen Moer remembered to ask Fu Mingze: "What did you say happened to Zhou Pingan last night?"

Fu Mingze put some scrambled eggs into her bowl with chopsticks, and then said, "Zhou Ping'an came back late last night. He was soaking wet and had a big bump on his head, which scared Sister Liu. Zhou Ping'an just said that he was playing outside and accidentally fell and hit his head. Sister Liu didn't believe it, but Zhou Ping'an said the same thing no matter how she asked."

Shen Shaoyuan: "This is indeed quite strange. Although the boy in their family doesn't like to talk and is a bit withdrawn, he is not a playful person. He goes home on time every day. Even in the family compound, he doesn't have any good friends to play with. Where can he go to play so late at night? And it didn't rain yesterday, so where could he fall and get soaked?"

Looking at Shen Moer, "The guy next door is nice. Please help him at school later to make sure he is not bullied."

Although Liuqiao Commune is not as chaotic as outside and the order in the school is good, the situation has been changing rapidly recently. It is possible that someone has learned the tricks from outside and is causing chaos.

After all, Shen Shaoyuan is working in the Propaganda Department now. Although it is only the Propaganda Department of a social-run factory, ever since he joined the Propaganda Department, he has been consciously learning about various information in the world through radio, newspapers and other channels. Therefore, compared with ordinary people, his sensitivity in this regard is much higher.

Shen Moer nodded.

After finishing his meal, Fu Mingze hurriedly rode away on his bike, and the father and daughter strolled to work together as usual.

When they turned a corner, Shen Moer looked up and saw a familiar figure in front of her. She quickly grabbed Shen Shaoyuan and whispered, "Dad, slow down."

Years of tacit understanding made Shen Shaoyuan stop almost immediately, and he subconsciously dodged backwards, then he leaned forward to take a look.

Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Shen Shaoyuan couldn't help but sigh.
