Chapter 41: Catching an adulterer

Zhou Dalong flew backwards and fell into the grass. He covered his stomach and felt a burst of pain. When he saw Yang Jiahe, he immediately became timid. The fear of being beaten two days ago had not yet dissipated. He was only paying attention to Jiang Mi and did not notice Yang Jiahe behind him at all.

He didn't dare to argue any longer, so he got up from the ground and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Mi only hated her own weakness. Sometimes it was more refreshing to do it herself. Thinking about how she kicked Zhou Dalong and he didn't react, she felt angry. She asked, "When are you going to deal with his mother? Can you do it? If you can't, I'll do it."

Seeing her furious look, Yang Jiahe reached out and touched her hair. "Wait a little longer, it will be soon."

Jiang Mi was thinking about how to deal with Zhou Dalong. This guy was so greasy, he just had nothing to do but raise pigs. Raising pigs was not suitable for him. He should go to the fields to work and earn work points.

After Zhou Dalong was scared away, he didn't want to go home just like that. He went straight to the educated youth site and planned to block Jiang Mi at the door. Just then, Xu Nian'er and He Zhaodi came back.

Today, the two of them shoveled bird droppings for the entire afternoon and earned full work points.

The work was not hard, but it was smelly and dirty. She was not in a good mood at the moment. Seeing Zhou Dalong, the culprit, standing at the door of the educated youth center with his head peeking out suspiciously, Xu Nian'er walked over quickly and picked him up.

"What are you doing? What bad things are you trying to do with your shifty eyes?"

Zhou Dalong was immediately enraged when a woman picked him up. Did she really think anyone could bully him? He glared at Xu Nian'er, "Let go! If you grab my collar again, I won't be polite!"

He Zhaodi laughed heartily: "Zhou Dalong, please stop being polite, otherwise, you are not a man."

Xu Nian'er was speechless and slapped Zhou Dalong twice in the face: "Why don't you try being rude?"

Zhou Dalong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and reached out to grab Xu Nian'er's hair and slammed her head against the tree: "I'll let you try it, is it comfortable? If you dare to slap me, I'll beat you into submission."

Xu Nian'er was hit on the head twice, but she didn't pull back her hair. Instead, she scratched Zhou Dalong's neck with her hands like a shadowless palm. Zhou Dalong's neck was scratched, and he hit her head even harder. Xu Nian'er was dizzy and even more angry. She raised her leg and kicked Zhou Dalong in between his legs.

Zhou Dalong yelped and finally let go, covering his crotch and backing away, "You bitch."

Xu Nian'er rushed forward and kicked him, "How dare you fight me? I'll beat you to death."

Zhou Dalong is a coward who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Seeing Xu Nian'er so fierce, she covered her crotch and fled, and immediately begged for mercy: "Don't hit me, I'll go find Comrade Jiang Mi, I'll send her

Bird eggs, the ones I picked specially for her."

Xu Nian'er: "Where are the bird eggs?"

Zhou Dalong trembled as he took out a handful of bird eggs. Xu Nian'er grabbed them and said, "Get lost! If I see you squatting here again, I'll beat you up."

Zhou Dalong: "Give it to Comrade Jiang Mi."

Xu Nian'er raised her foot and kicked Zhou Dalong in the stomach: "Get lost."

Zhou Dalong rolled on the ground and rolled right in front of Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi kicked him wildly and followed Xu Nian'er into the educated youth site.

So relieved!

Zhou Dalong howled: "Comrade Jiang Mi, remember to eat the bird eggs."

Chen Xi asked, "Mi Mi, why is this person targeting you?"

He Zhaodi: "What's so strange about this? Jiang Mi is beautiful and rich. If I were a man, I would also want to marry her home."

Jiang Mi: "Stop mentioning him, it's annoying."

Jiang Miao came back a little late. They found a nest of pheasant eggs on the road. They squatted beside it, trying to ambush a pheasant, but they failed to ambush the pheasant.

Each of the four children received two pheasant eggs and cooked them to eat. Jiang Miao had already eaten one on the way and left the other one for Jiang Mi.

Peel the ginger honey and eat it in a few bites.

Xu Nian'er also boiled a few bird eggs and said to Jiang Mi, "I got these by my own ability. You don't get any."

Jiang Mi: ...

Not to mention a few bird eggs, even if Zhou Dalong came over with gold, silver and jewelry, she wouldn't even look at them.

We had dinner in the yard. Halfway through the meal, it started to rain. At first it was relatively light, so everyone quickly ran into the house with their bowls. As soon as they got inside, the raindrops outside became bigger and hit the ground with a loud noise.

Jiang Mi: "Has the roof of Zhou Dalong's house been repaired?"

Xu Nian'er: "It hasn't been repaired yet. I just passed by their door, and the roofs of the three houses were empty."

Chen Xi: "It must be very exciting to be caught in the rain inside. I wonder if they are really trying to save blankets or food now?"

Xu Nian'er: "Food, quilts can be dried even if they get wet, but food will get moldy if it gets wet."

He Zhaodi: "Is it because they killed a magpie that their family is so unlucky?"

Jiang Mi: "I wonder if their family can get any worse."

He Zhaodi: "Let's go out and take a look. I'm quite curious."

The two of them put on straw raincoats and straw hats and went out to watch the fun. Jiang Mi and Chen Xi also followed them out. Before leaving, they stuffed a piece of fish into Miaomiao's hand and let her eat it by herself at the educated youth center.

The male educated youth also came out, and they were not afraid of getting wet in the rain when they came to watch the fun.

When they arrived, a lot of people had gathered in front of Zhou Dalong's house, all leaning on the low wall looking inside.

Yang Jia and his family are all there, and they occupy a powerful position.

Zhou Dalong's family is trying to save the food and bedding that are in danger. The food is piled in the wardrobe, which can keep out the rain, and the bedding is also stuffed in there. Then they lock the wooden box and carry it to the neighbor's house to put it temporarily.

There is no place in their house where it doesn't rain.

Zhou Dalong's grandmother, Old Lady He, saw so many people gathered outside to watch the excitement. She cursed, "Get out! What are you looking at?"

Everyone ignored her and continued watching.

Old Mrs. He didn't have the ability to really drive all these people away.

After Cui Lanxiang and Old Lady He finished lifting the boxes, they continued to rescue other items. Cui Lanxiang said, "This thief, God, is so blind."

Zhou Dalong, wearing a straw raincoat, looked at his home and cried. He must marry Jiang Mi, preferably immediately.

Jiang Mi is so beautiful and rich, she will definitely build three more magnificent tiled houses for her family and replace the furniture with new ones.

Thinking of Jiang Mi, he was filled with strength again.

Cui Lanxiang said, "Dalong, take these to your second master's house."

Zhou Dalong took a look at the large package, which looked heavy. He said, "Mom, I'll go later. I need to go to the toilet first."

Cui Lanxiang: "I asked you to do a job, but you said you were going to the toilet. If you hadn't gone to dig out the magpie's nest, would this disaster have happened?"

Old Mrs. He: "Okay, okay, I'll carry it over." She picked up the package with great effort and delivered it to her neighbor's house.

Two young men from the neighbor's house came to help carry things, "Big aunt, just spoil Dalong. The family is in such a bad condition, and he's still lazy."

Old Mrs. He: "Dalong is still young, he will be sensible when he grows up."

Zhou Dalong entered the toilet. Although it was smelly, the thatched roof was still there, blocking some of the rain. He squatted on the pit, still thinking about how to marry Jiang Mi. Direct pursuit might be a bit difficult to read, so he would create a scene of a hero saving a beauty, and then... He chuckled. Suddenly, the wooden plank of the squatting pit broke, and he fell directly into the pit. Seeing that he was sinking deeper and deeper, he quickly grabbed the edge of the pit, howling, "Help, save me quickly."

The squatting pits in the countryside are simple. Just dig a big pit and put two wooden boards on it.

, you can solve your physiological problems by stepping on the wooden board.

The feces stored in it for years can be considered compost.

These fertilizers can be used in private plots or sold to the production team according to work points.

Zhou Dalong’s family’s manure pit has not been handed over to the team yet, it’s very full!

When Grandma He heard her grandson's cry for help, she rushed into the toilet and saw him half-stuck in the pit, his body covered in feces. Zhou Dalong cried out in tears, "Grandma, help me out."

Old Mrs. He and Cui Lanxiang hurriedly pulled Zhou Dalong out. It was just like pulling a carrot, very difficult. After trying for a long time and with the help of the two young men, they finally pulled Zhou Dalong out.

Zhou Dalong had already vomited due to the smoke. After he came out, he vomited violently.

After all this trouble in their toilet, the stinking smell could be smelled for two miles.

Everyone covered their noses and continued to watch. Such excitement was so rare. I had never heard of anyone falling into the toilet. How unlucky that would be!

After Zhou Dalong finished vomiting, he ran outside. The rain was heavier at this time, and it directly washed away most of the feces on his body. Wherever he walked, yellow liquid spread out, and everyone retreated in disgust.

When Zhou Dalong arrived at the river, he took off his clothes and jumped into the river to wash. Cui Lanxiang took out soap and washed him. After rubbing him again and again, Zhou Dalong came out of the river.

Zhou Dalong howled, "Who broke the planks? The planks in my toilet are very sturdy. They were just replaced before the New Year. Someone must have broken them! Fuck their ancestors!"

A young man said, "It was always broken in the morning and evening, why did it break today? It's because you stole the magpie eggs and injured two magpies. This is really bad luck."

Others echoed this, saying that this was the magpie's revenge.

Everyone is more convinced that one should not touch a magpie's nest, or else one will be in bad luck. This Zhou Dalong family has been plagued by bad luck one after another.

The crowd began to disperse. It was a lively and interesting event that the members could talk about until the end of the year.

Jiang Mi went back happily and happened to pass by Yang Jia and his family. She felt that this matter was related to the Yang family, and maybe even the robbing of the bird's nest was related to the Yang family.

It’s so fun to see Zhou Dalong in trouble!

When they arrived at the educated youth point, everyone changed their clothes first. Jiang Miao took a towel to help Jiang Mi wipe her hair.

After wiping it a few times, Jiang Mi shook her hair and it was basically dry.

Xu Nian'er and others also wiped their hair: "Your hair is very good. I will go to the county to sell my hair this week, and I will also keep short hair."

He Zhaodi: "It's so nice to have long hair

Look, it would be a shame to sell it. It doesn’t rain every day.”

Xu Nian'er said that having long braids puts one at a disadvantage in a fight, and she is still upset about Zhou Dalong pulling her hair and hitting her head with it today!

Moreover, she sent the money from selling her hair back to her brother, which was enough for him to get married.

Chen Xi: "Nian'er, over the years, the money you've saved for our family, if not a hundred, at least eighty. Don't you think about yourself?"

He Zhaodi: "Are you crazy? How about spending your own money? What does your brother's marriage have to do with you?"

Xu Nian'er: "My brother is very good. You just haven't seen him. If you had seen him, you would definitely want to give all your money to him."

Everyone: ...

Everyone started discussing Zhou Dalong's family again and talked about the legend of the magpie.

The Magpie God didn't dare to say it in public, so he mentioned it vaguely. Xu Nian'er said, "It's raining today, so I definitely don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'll go to the Magpie God Temple tomorrow to see if it's really that magical. I've been feeling a little chest tight lately, and I wonder if I'm sick. I'll also go lick the stone slabs outside the Magpie God Temple."

He Zhaodi: "What is this Magpie Temple stone slab?"

Xu Nian'er briefly talked about some legends of the Magpie Temple. After that, she said a few words about overthrowing feudal superstition, for fear that someone would expose her.

He Zhaodi: "I recently had a pimple on my forehead, and I want to try it too."

Jiang Shuyin came back late, her clothes were all wet, and she was still wearing a men's coat. She took off the coat and threw it on the back of the chair.

Xu Nian'er: "Whose clothes are these?"

He Zhaodi: "It looks quite big. This person must be quite tall."

Jiang Shuyin grabbed a handful of candy for her and He Zhaodi. Xu Nian'er said, "I understand. I won't ask anymore."

He Zhaodi also sealed her mouth.

Chen Xi: "Shuyin, it's dark outside and unsafe. From now on..."

Jiang Shuyin gave her another handful of candy, and Chen Xi said, "Be careful."

Jiang Miao: "Cousin, do you think this dress looks familiar?"

Jiang Shuyin also gave her a handful of candy, "Does it look familiar?"

"It doesn't look familiar." Jiang Miao took the candy and happily stuffed it into Jiang Mi's pocket. "Sister, remember to eat candy when you herd sheep tomorrow."

Jiang Mi: "Cousin."

Jiang Shuyin continued to give candy. Jiang Mi said, "I'm not asking for candy. Your clothes are soaked. Change them quickly or you'll catch a cold."

Jiang Mi put the candy into Jiang Miao's pocket and said, "Tomorrow

Eat at school."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Jiang Shuyin gave out candies and looked with disdain at those who were happy after receiving the candies. They said they were a bunch of short-sighted people who were happy just by receiving a few candies.

She is very happy today. This rain is really timely.

Zhou Huailin is unlike any man she has met before. This man is not easy to win over. She has been flirting with him for so long, but the relationship has progressed very slowly. Zhou Huailin is a gentle, meticulous and considerate person, but when it comes to feelings, he neither responds nor rejects.

The rain brought the two closer together. He carried her back and sent her to the entrance of the educated youth center.

She believed that in the near future, she would be able to marry Zhou Huailin.

Before going to bed, Jiang Miao asked Jiang Rong with concern, "By the time it's daybreak, Big Sister should be in Bincheng, right?"

Jiang Mi touched Jiang Miao's hair and said, "The train should arrive in Bincheng around seven in the morning. My parents will be very surprised. When my eldest sister arrives, she will write to us."

On the train

Jiang Rong had a smooth journey. She brought plenty of food with her. It was hot in the summer, so she first ate the braised chicken, which could not be kept well. It could only be kept for one day at most and would go bad overnight. As for the spring rolls and tea eggs, they could be kept for two days as long as they were not covered.

She was very vigilant on the train. She carried all her food close to her body and would not let it out of her sight, including water, for fear that someone would put something in her food. If she met someone who was particularly enthusiastic, she would just give them a perfunctory response.

She had been in the Xinghua Brigade for several years, and what she had seen most was the ugly human heart.

She had already drunk most of the water in the cowhide bag. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her body was getting better and better, she was getting lighter and lighter, and her mind was especially clear. Could it be because she was too excited about going home?

The train was getting closer and closer to Bincheng. On the last night, she couldn't sleep for a moment. The sky turned from light to dark, and most of the lights in the carriage were turned off. She hugged her schoolbag and looked out the window at the dark scenery. The middle-aged woman next to her said, "Girl, don't you want to get some sleep?"

Jiang Rong shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, let me take a look outside."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "You haven't been back for so many years, so you must be excited." She knew that Jiang Rong was an educated youth returning to the city. She twisted her neck and continued to sleep.

The sky began to turn white, and gradually brightened. When it was completely bright, the train gradually drove into the city, getting closer and closer to Bincheng.

The moment the train stopped, Jiang Rong couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. Tears flowed uncontrollably. She squeezed off the train with her luggage and thought about the situation when she first got on the train.

At the beginning, she and her elder brother took the same train on the same day.

Her family sent her to the train and divided the family's meager savings into two parts, one for her and one for her eldest brother.

Jiang Ning and Jiang Mi secretly gave her all the pocket money they had saved, and told her to take good care of herself in the countryside.

Her father and second brother also gave her some pocket money, telling her not to save it and to send her things when they got their salary.

Her mother took apart the quilts and bedding at home and put them together to make a thicker and warmer quilt for her.

When she arrived in the Northern Province, she found out while sorting her things that her elder brother had also given her some of his own money.

My eldest brother later wrote to me, saying that a man doesn't have to worry about being poor outside, as he has strength, but a young girl can't be short of money.

She went to the countryside with the love of her family.

She followed the crowd out of the train station and stood on the street of Bincheng, her familiar hometown. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and walked towards home.

She walked back home with her luggage. It was already half past eight in the morning.

In the slum, a group of old ladies were sitting under the shade of a tree chatting. When they saw Jiang Rong, some of them were a little hesitant to recognize her.

"Rong girl?"

Jiang Rong smiled with tears in her eyes: "Grandma, I am Jiang Rong."

Several old ladies surrounded her and asked her why she came back at this time and whether she was feeling unwell.

Jiang Rong began to cry and told the story of how the educated youth in Xinghua Brigade were oppressed by the local tyrants. The educated youth worked hard but were paid little, and their bodies were ruined. If they resisted, they would be sent to the coal mines to dig coal. Two of the educated youth who were sent to the coal mines have not been found yet.

The educated youth at their educated youth camp tried to resist, but this only led to even more brutal bullying from the team leader. Beatings were common. If they continued to be bullied, no one would survive.

When Jiang Mi came to see her, she found something wrong, so she led the people in their team to make trouble and also invited comrades from the Public Security Bureau. In the end, the matter became a big deal and all the educated youth were finally rescued.

She has physical problems and psychological trauma, and cannot continue to devote her youth to the black soil.

A group of old ladies all burst into tears when they heard Jiang Rong say that several nearby brigades were so bad that they secretly opened the parcels and letters of the educated youth. The hens raised and the vegetables grown by the educated youth were all eaten by the team leader's family. She had not eaten any meat or fine noodles in the several years she had been in the countryside.

Jiang Rong is very thin, and she can't get tanned, so she looks very weak and must have suffered a lot.

An old lady took Jiang Rong's hand and said, "Child, you have suffered so much."

Once I touch Jiang Rong's hand, I feel even more

I believe it. These hands are covered with calluses and wounds from years of hard work. They don't look like the hands of a girl in her twenties at all.

"How can these bastards be so evil? They deserve to be shot!"

Jiang Rong started crying too, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to put the things back home first. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see my mom later."

An old man said, "Stop crying! Your family has moved and now lives in the textile factory compound." He picked up Jiang Rong's luggage and said, "I'll take you to find your mother."

Jiang Rong: "Master, I can carry it myself."

The old man said, "You look so skinny that you're just bones. Don't try to be so stubborn."

At the same time, several other old ladies also came along.

When Jiang Rong was sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Zhenzhen didn't dare to recognize her at first sight. Jiang Rong burst into tears before she said a word, and she choked and called out "Mom".

Su Zhenzhen ran out from the counter and hugged Jiang Rong.

"Rongrong. Why are you so thin?"

Jiang Rong was hugged by Jiang Ma, and all her grievances and tears flowed out. She reached out and hugged Jiang Ma, "Mom, I almost didn't see you."

Jiang Ma cried, "What happened? Why did you come back so suddenly? Why are you so thin? What kind of suffering did you endure in Xinghua Brigade?"

Before Jiang Rong could say anything, several old men and women started telling the story one by one.

The other people at the supply and marketing cooperative were furious. How could they mistreat the educated youth so badly? Whose family didn't have educated youth? Were their children abused?

Everyone needs to write back quickly to ask how the child is doing, and also to ask whether the package they sent has been received.

Su Zhenzhen took half a day off and immediately took Jiang Rong home.

Now the Dajiang family has moved and lives in the building of the textile factory, which is where Liao Weiming's family used to live. It has three bedrooms and a living room. The rooms are spacious and bright. The floors are all cement and there is no dust at all. The windows are also equipped with bright glass. You can see everything clearly when you look out from the house.

Jiang Rong was stunned by the house: "This is our home."

Su Zhenzhen carried her things and pulled her into the room on the far left. After pushing open the door, they found that the room was quite spacious. It was clean and bright, with a 1.5-meter bed, a table full of books, and two chairs.

There are also two pots of roses by the window, which are blooming beautifully.

Su Zhenzhen put her things on the chair and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes first. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Rong: "Mom, I'm not hungry. I ate a burrito on the way.

and tea eggs.”

Su Zhenzhen touched Jiang Rong's hair. "Drink some syrup. You and Ningning can live in this room. When Mimi comes back, I'll separate a room from mine and let Mimi and Miaomiao live there. This is our new home. Take a look around. If you don't like anything, we can change it together."

Su Zhenzhen went to cook, and Jiang Rong didn't want to watch anything and just wanted to follow her mother.

Su Zhenzhen made a bowl of egg and mushroom noodles, beat two poached eggs, garnished it with green vegetables and green onion rings, opened a can of beef, brought it to the table, and asked Jiang Rong to eat first.

After taking the first bite, Jiang Rong couldn't help crying again, and her tears fell into the bowl.

Su Zhenzhen sniffed and wiped Jiang Rong's tears with a handkerchief. "Don't cry, don't cry. Eat first. Noodles won't taste good if they clump together. Just eat something for now. We'll go get some pork belly and stew it into braised pork for you later."

After Jiang Rong finished her meal, she began to talk about her experiences at the educated youth camp.

She did not hide these things from Jiang Ma. There was nothing about her that Jiang Ma did not want to hear.

The more Jiang Ma listened, the sadder and angrier she became. In the end, she was left with only relief.

Fortunately, Jiang Rong is still alive, and fortunately Jiang Mi saved Jiang Rong.

Mother Jiang hugged Jiang Rong and cried loudly, constantly supporting her back: "It's all over, it's all over. Rongrong has gone through this ordeal, and everything will be smooth sailing in the future. We will be together forever."

Jiang Rong: "Yeah."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Jiang Rong wanted to take a bath, so Jiang's mother took her to the bathhouse, washed her hair and rubbed her back, and then took her to the butcher shop to buy braised pork and big bones.

Whenever she met someone she knew, Jiang's mother would tell them about Jiang Rong's experience at the educated youth camp.

Let this matter spread as quickly as possible.

Jiang Rong did come back, but she had suffered a great deal and would not have survived if she had stayed any longer.

Mother Jiang stewed braised pork and steamed rice at noon, determined to nourish Jiang Rong's body.

The family situation is much better now. Her salary was raised the next day after Jiang Mi went to the countryside. Jiang Aiguo and Jiang Ze's salaries also increased. Together with Jiang Ning's salary, the family's monthly salary is 200 yuan.

Their family no longer needs to worry about money.

At noon, Jiang's mother coaxed her to sleep. While she was asleep, she went to the state-owned restaurant to pick up some small dumplings. She also asked Jiang Ze to bring back some pig's trotters in the afternoon and told Jiang Ze and Liu Yun that Jiang Rong had returned to the city.

Nowadays, most of the educated youth who return to the city are retired due to illness.

Jiang Ma's eyes were red as she told Jiang Rong about her situation. She said, "She's not in good health and needs to be taken care of. You guys go to work, I'm at home."

Jiang Ze was worried and wanted to go back to check. Jiang's mother said, "No one in the family is working, what will we eat? You should go to work and bring back some pickled pig's trotters in the evening."

Jiang Ma took Xiao Jiang Bao out of the state-owned restaurant. Xiao Jiang Bao was very happy to know that his eldest aunt had returned. He had not seen his eldest aunt yet. He said, "Why did Third Aunt come back? I miss Third Aunt. Third Aunt didn't keep her promise. She said she would be back soon, but it has been a long time."

Jiang Ma: "Third Aunt and Little Aunt will be gone for a while, go home and make your eldest aunt happy."

Mother Jiang didn't go back directly. Instead, she went to the department store and gritted her teeth to buy two beautiful clothes for Jiang Rong. When Wang Qiuhua saw Su Zhenzhen and Xiao Jiangbao, she greeted them warmly and gave Xiao Jiangbao an egg cake.

Upon learning that Jiang Ma was going to buy a skirt for Jiang Rong, Wang Qiuhua asked, "Is Sister Jiang Mi back in town?"

Mother Jiang told it again.

Wang Qiuhua: "Thank God, Jiang Rong is still alive." She took out two defective skirts and said, "Auntie, what do you think of these two? I originally kept them for myself. Let Jiang Rong wear them first, and I'll wear them next time."

Jiang Ma: "I'll take one, and you keep one too."

Wang Qiuhua: "Auntie, you take them all. It's more important for Sister Jiang Mi to wear them."

Jiang Ma bought the two skirts. After she left, Wang Qiuhua sighed that Jiang Mi was really amazing. Jiang Rong had been oppressed in the countryside for so many years and had no way out. She was almost forced to death. As soon as Jiang Mi came to the countryside, she rescued her elder sister and sent her back to the city.

This guy is amazing, he's awesome everywhere.

When Jiang Ma came back with the small bag of sauce, Jiang Rong had already woken up.

Little Jiangbao called "Auntie" obediently and softly, hugging Jiang Rong's thighs.

Jiang Rong's heart was about to melt. She hugged the little girl and kissed her again and again. "She looks like my second brother, and has the same eyes as my mother. She's really pretty."

Jiang's mother took out the new skirt she had bought and gave it to Jiang Rong. "It's okay if you don't wear the clothes I gave you before. Try them on and see if they fit you. They're a little fat. I'll slim them down for you."

Jiang Rong: "Mom, don't spend money on me anymore. I have clothes to wear."

She doesn't want to wear a skirt.

Mother Jiang touched Jiang Rong's cheek and said, "My daughter is beautiful, and she looks best in a skirt. Rongrong, don't be afraid. You have your parents and your second brother at home. We will all protect you."

Jiang Rong pursed her lips and tried on a plaid skirt.

Very beautiful, except for the fake wedding day,

She hadn't worn a skirt in four years. She had even thrown away the skirt she wore on her fake wedding day at the hospital.

Jiang Ma said, "I'll get another pair of white mesh shoes from the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow."

Jiang Rong: "Mom, that's really not necessary. Mom, I want to hear about our family's affairs."

Mother Jiang then talked about the family matters. Everything at home was inseparable from Jiang Mi, and it was all she gained for the family.

Su Zhenzhen: "Now, you have also been sent back by Mimi."

That night, the Dajiang family cried and laughed, laughed and cried, and only calmed down in the second half of the night.

As for Jiang Rong's job, there is no need to rush for now. She can wait for another half a month before going to the train station to complete the start of work.

Wei family

When Wei Rongye's mother heard about Jiang Rong's return to the city from the northern province, she was so angry that she couldn't eat at home. The Jiang family is getting better and better, but their family is getting harder and harder.

She went to see Wei Rongye a few days ago. The boy had lost weight and become darker. He had endless work to do every day. She went to Xue Yang every day to beg him for help, but Xue Yang didn't agree to let him go.

Just when I was getting so angry that my teeth were itching, Jiang Rong came back.

She said to Wei's father bitterly, "I think Jiang Rong is just avoiding labor and queue-jumping!"

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She grabbed her bag and went to look for her brother Xue Yang.

Xue Yang had been feeling quite annoyed recently because Jiang Shuyin had gone to work in the countryside, in the far north. He was really worried about her, but he couldn't go that far. He had also found a few women, but none of them were as good as Jiang Shuyin.

Hearing the purpose of Wei Ma's visit, he grinned, "I'm going to meet this weak Sister Jiang Mi."

-

It rained all night in Yangjiagou Brigade, and the sky cleared up after dawn.

There are jobs to do when it's sunny and jobs to do when it's raining.

However, young people are not needed to work in the rain, and the people from the educated youth sites did not go to the fields.

After Xu Nian'er got up, she ran to Zhou Dalong's house first. It was really terrible. The house was full of rain and the furniture was soaked in water. It made it no longer a home.

Everyone in the Zhou family was splashing water in the house. Except for Old Lady He and Cui Lanxiang, all the married daughters and sons-in-law of the Zhou family came back to help. Zhou Dalong was sitting in the yard eating the delicious food brought back by his aunts and sisters.

The Zhou family is planning to repair the roof first.

After Xu Nian'er came back, she complained: "There are so many women in this family. Old lady He gave birth to three daughters and a son, and Cui Lanxiang gave birth to three daughters and a son. None of them came back empty-handed. Some brought eggs, some brought steamed buns, some brought a pound of meat, and one brought back

Come on, give me a chicken. Actually, marrying Zhou Dalong is not bad. Several aunts and sisters can support Zhou Dalong's family."

He Zhaodi: "Aren't you also supporting your brother?"

Xu Nian'er: "My eldest brother is different from Zhou Dalong. He is smart and sensible."

He Zhaodi: "If I were smart and sensible, I could still spend your money. Has your eldest brother ever sent you anything? Has he ever remitted money to you?"

Xu Nian'er: "My eldest brother has no money, so he often writes to me."

Chen Xi: "As soon as I wrote you a letter, you rushed off to mail the things, tightening your belt and starving yourself to death."

He Zhaodi clicked her tongue twice: "Xu Nian'er, are you stupid?"

Jiang Mi did not try to persuade her. There were so many people like this who supported their brothers that it was useless to try to persuade them.

Xu Nian'er's expression changed immediately: "No one is allowed to say bad things about my eldest brother from now on."

He Zhaodi curled her lips: "Anyway, it's you who suffers, not me."

Breakfast was simple, just porridge and two-grain flatbread, no vegetables.

Jiang Shuyin took a look at the simple meal, said she didn't want to eat it, and left.

Everyone rushed to share her food.

Jiang Mi was given a small piece of two-grain flour pancake.

Jiang Mi took out a can of beef, opened it, picked up four slices for Jiang Miao, gave everyone else one slice, and gave Xu Nian'er two slices.

Xu Nian'er looked at Jiang Mi: "Tell me, who do you want to hit this time?"

Ding Ankang trembled, "I'm not talking to you, don't hit me!"

Jiang Mi: "It's just to give everyone a snack. It was quite satisfying to see that guy get beaten up last night."

Xu Nian'er's face was full of smiles. "Okay, okay. Can you pour some of the soup into my porridge? It's delicious."

Jiang Mi directly gave all the cans to Xu Nian'er.

He Zhaodi: "This time I ate for nothing. Today I will teach him a lesson."

After dinner, Jiang Miao went to school with the other children. Today was a clear and sunny day. Although there was water on the ground, it did not affect their going to school.

Several children were reluctant to leave: "Sister Mimi, let's go up the mountain together next time."

After dinner, the male educated youth went fishing, and the female educated youth went to the mountain to pick mushrooms. The team leader shouted at the entrance of the village, asking everyone to pick mushrooms on the mountainside and not to go into the mountains as the road was slippery and dangerous.

Xu Nian'er led Jiang Mi and others straight to the Magpie Temple.

I met four aunts along the way.

The children were also heading towards the Magpie Temple. The four aunts tried to stop Jiang Mi and the others from going there.

Xu Nian'er: "You can go, why can't we go?"

The four aunts can only be counted.

The Magpie Temple is on the mountainside. Few people came here before, but the incident with the magpie brought back some people's memories, and they couldn't help but come and see it.

When they reached the mountainside, they saw overgrown weeds. The previous road was now covered with waist-high grass. Birds were chirping in the sky, and it looked very desolate. They crawled into the grass.

The temple walls had been destroyed, and the stone slabs outside had been smashed into several pieces. Jiang Mi and the others looked at the stone slabs and knew that they were smashed by the Red Guards. During the most serious years, temples like this had been vandalized to varying degrees.

The Que Shen Temple is a relatively famous temple in the vicinity and was the first to be smashed and looted.

When we got inside, all the statues of the magpie god had been knocked down.

Several aunts wanted to lift up the statue of the Magpie God, but no one dared to take the first step, for fear of outsiders like Xu Nian'er.

Jiang Mi and the others naturally didn't dare to do that.

The aunt said, "There is a cherry tree behind the yard. Go and see if there are any cherries."

This is to get rid of Jiang Mi and other educated youth.

As they were about to leave, Jiang Mi spotted a red corner beneath the Magpie God statue. She said, "There seems to be something underneath. It looks like a red book. Let's move this statue aside. We can't let the worm stay here. Let's get the worm out quickly."

In fact, Jiang Mi wasn't sure what it was, it was just a red corner.

But it's certainly true.

The aunts were immediately delighted. They all thought Jiang Mi was clever. Look how good she was at talking. She had solved their worries directly. "Let's work together. Be careful not to crush it."

Everyone carefully lifted up the statue weighing several hundred pounds. They did not dare to put it on the altar, but just lifted it up.

The book underneath was indeed a very old one. Jiang Mi put it away and planned to put it back in the space when she had time.

The torn red book should not be kept in your hands, as it will be used by people with ulterior motives to make trouble.

The aunts were very happy and asked Jiang Mi and others to go to the backyard. They said there was a cherry tree there. They didn't know if it was still there. The cherries on this tree were very sweet back then.

Xu Nian'er looked at the baskets they were carrying and felt that these people might want to secretly worship the magpie god, so they left and went to the backyard.

Xu Nian'er also said: "If we go back now, will Aunt

The kids are terrified!"

Chen Xi: "Okay, let's go find the cherry tree."

He Zhaodi: "If there really were a cherry tree, the children would have come running here long ago."

The houses in the backyard were also pushed down. They were all brick houses.

They wandered around inside and actually found a cherry tree, a cherry tree that had been sawed off. Now it had sprouted new buds and grown into a small tree, but it did not bear cherries.

I guess there is no cherry tree.

Jiang Mi was delighted to gather around the cherry tree. The trees here didn't bear cherries, but there certainly would be in the space. She broke off a few cherry branches.

Xu Nian'er: "Why are you doing this?"

Jiang Mi: "Let's play."

He took the opportunity to throw one into the space, and it disappeared in an instant.

This space is so useful!

Several people were walking around in the yard. There was quite a lot of space here. In addition to the cherry tree being sawed down, several other locust trees and willow trees were also sawed down.

This is about destroying everything that can be destroyed.

Xu Nian'er went to wander around the house, and Jiang Mi was still around the cherry tree. She found a small seedling next to the tree. She planned to pull it out and throw it into the space. It would definitely grow.

She pulled out the cherry tree, and seeing that everyone else was in the ruined house, she quickly threw the one-meter-tall sapling into the space.

After planting the cherry tree, you can wait and eat the cherries.

She can eat more and more fruits!

There was a noise coming from the innermost room.

He Zhaodi: "Fuck, there are beddings here, how could someone live here?"

Xu Nian'er: "They even built a tent inside. Even though it rained so hard yesterday, it didn't leak in! Tsk tsk, they really know how to find a place to have an affair."

Chen Xi:!!!

Jiang Mi also came to take a look. There was a small shed inside with a mosquito net and bedding spread inside. Could this be the place where Cui Lanxiang had her regular affair?

No way? No way? No way?

Suddenly a line formed in my mind.

Zhou Dalong catches magpie eggs, his house is demolished by magpies, he falls into a toilet, and his mother has an affair in the magpie temple...

Is the ultimate goal to expose this matter?

Xu Nian'er: "Someone is having an affair here! They're having an affair in the Magpie Temple, and they're not afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Now it was the time to destroy the Four Olds, but Xu Nian'er still believed in these things in her heart.

Jiang Mi: "Now that we've discovered it, we can't just ignore it. Let's call the aunts in and ask them what they have to say."

A few aunts came in and were looking at the cherry tree. They found that it had sprouted new buds, some several meters tall! They were all very happy, as if it was a new life in another form.

Hearing the noise coming from the innermost part, they all came in.

When several people saw the scene inside, their anger grew.

An auntie said angrily, "If they want to have an affair, there's no place they can't go. This mountain is so big, isn't it enough for them to sleep?"

Another aunt was about to explode with rage: "You girls, hurry up and leave. Those of you who are not married have nothing to do with this. I want to see who dares to have an affair here. Even if this place has been destroyed, it is still the Magpie Temple."

The Magpie Temple has been destroyed and the Magpie God statue has been knocked down, yet these people are still having affairs here and defiling the place, disturbing the Magpie God's peace.

He Zhaodi: "That's right! That's right! How dare you have such a bold move, even choosing a fixed location for your affair? We have to be here as witnesses!"

Jiang Mi and a few others were willing to stay and watch the fun.

Watch the scene of catching an adulterer.

The aunts were helpless when they saw that these educated youth were not at all shy about talking about extramarital affairs. The female educated youth in their educated youth camp were really more outrageous than each other.

Several aunts asked Jiang Mi and the others to hide and stay away. They also warned them: "Don't come up for a while. Wait until we have dealt with them, then come back. If you see something you shouldn't, you will get a stye."

They hid for most of the day, but no one came.

Xu Nian'er: "The whole morning has passed. Could it be that no one has come? Just yesterday, a magpie demolished Zhou Dalong's house. Are these two people scared?"

The aunt in the yellow coat said, "This won't happen overnight. We have to be prepared for a protracted battle. Their bedding is all here. They'll definitely have to come over eventually."

Another aunt said, "Maybe they're afraid of being seen, so they only dare to come here at night."

"Then wait until night!"

Chen Xi: "Aunt, let's go first. We have to go pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. We can't go back empty-handed!"

The aunt said, "Be careful, walk from the back so that no one can see you."

Jiang Mi and the others had just walked a short distance when they heard voices outside.

"Damn it, how are we going to eat this lamb? Let's roast the whole lamb and divide the leftovers." A woman said in a hoarse voice.

The man said: "How can the roasted whole lamb be as delicious as yours?

I’ve been a vegetarian for so many days, please let me have a bite.”

The woman said, "I don't believe it. Your wife won't let you go? Let's put away the quilt and move to another place. The large number of magpies yesterday was a bit scary. It seemed like they were coming for me."

Man: "Nothing can stop me now."

The footsteps of the two people were getting closer and closer, and their conversation was becoming more and more explicit and shocking.

After hearing the noise, Jiang Mi and others quickly found a place to hide. There were a lot of weeds and broken walls here, and they could hide everywhere.

Woman: "No, let's go somewhere else. I'm afraid Mrs. Huang will come. She used to love coming to the temple."

Man: "Who dares to come here now? You're just worrying about nothing. Let me have some fun, and then we'll change places."

Soon, some indescribable sound echoed in the air.

Seeing that the time was ripe, several aunts rushed out together.

Cui Lanxiang screamed, and the man also screamed and ran out with his naked butt.

An aunt took off her shoes and hit the man's bare buttocks. She shouted, "Zhou Fugui, you still have the nerve to run! You come here to find a woman, are you worthy of Chunmiao?"

The two aunts held Cui Lanxiang down, and the other two aunts went to chase Zhou Fugui.

They chased him, shouting, but Zhou Fugui ran too fast and was out in the blink of an eye. The two aunts chased after him, cursing: "Do you really think you'll be alright if you run away? The monk can escape, but the temple cannot. Damn it, you dare to have an affair here? You will be struck by lightning and punished by heaven."

Soon he followed after him.

Cui Lanxiang wailed and cried, "Sister Huang, Sister He, please let me go! I won't dare to do it again. You are my mothers too, please be considerate of me. If this gets out, I won't be able to live like this anymore."

Aunt Huang slapped Cui Lanxiang on the head a few times, "Bah, sympathy for you? You deserve sympathy? Damn it, your son touched a magpie's nest, and you had an affair in the Magpie Temple. I was wondering why the magpie turned your house upside down this time, and this is the reason."

Aunt He said, "If you were being dissolute somewhere else, I wouldn't bother with you, but if you dare come here, I'll beat you to death."

The two men beat Cui Lanxiang, put her in a pair of panties, and tied her up.

He Zhaodi and others also ran out. Their goal was the same, which was to find the lamb that Cui Lanxiang and the others brought in.

Sure enough, a lamb was found in the yard.

The lamb had its limbs tied up and was lying on the ground eating leaves. There was a very obvious small lightning between its eyebrows.

Ginger Honey

"Pipi? Why are you here?" She quickly ran over and picked up Pipi. It was a little lamb, weighing only about ten pounds.

Xu Nian'er was disappointed: "Why is it the lamb from the brigade? These two bastards went to steal the lamb from the brigade to eat. How can they be so capable!"

He Zhaodi was also disappointed: "I thought I could eat something good."

The lambs in the team didn't dare to move. These two people definitely couldn't escape, and the lambs probably couldn't hide it.

Xu Nian'er: "If we run away with the lamb, Zhou Dalong's mother will definitely not confess. If she confesses, won't it be another piece of evidence?"

Jiang Mi: "Calm down. This sheep is called Pipi. Yang Jiahe is very familiar with this sheep. This little lamb is very naughty. If we lose it, the team will definitely look for it. We can't hide it." She took a pair of scissors and untied the rope tied to the lamb's legs.

Xu Nian'er and He Zhaodi were very disappointed and looked at the lamb with greedy faces.

The little lamb stood up, licked Jiang Mi's palm, looked at Xu Nian'er, poked her legs with its horns, and bit her trouser legs.

Xu Nian'er: "!!! I haven't eaten you yet, and you dare to bite my clothes. You are so brave." She picked up the lamb and said, "Roast it. We will each have a leg."

The little lamb bared its teeth at Xu Nian'er.

Jiang Mi: Yang Jia and you, come here quickly! I can’t protect your lamb anymore! Your lamb really deserves a beating!
