The local area is all dry land, so wheeled tractors have no problem plowing the land, and the tractor's tires are new, so it runs very steadily. The tillage machine behind is advanced hydraulic, which can be adjusted up and down, and there is no need for a special person to ride behind and adjust it like in the 1950s and 1960s.

The tractor was plowing the land here, and two strong oxen were plowing the land there. At first, they were moving side by side, but gradually the tractor became more and more stable and moved forward at a constant speed, while the oxen began to slow down. Especially after one round, the oxen almost had to rest.

Moreover, while the tractor is plowing the land, there is also a machine that can break up the dirt at the same time, but livestock have to plow the land and then harrow it, which is very cumbersome.

An hour and a half later, Cheng Rushan asked Jiang Lin: "Are you tired? I'll take your place."

Jiang Lin: "You don't have to do it. Let Shang Zonghui come. From now on, the young people will be responsible for driving."

Jiang Lin asked Shang Zonghui to drive the car, and she followed the car to direct the plowing of the land to make sure it was not plowed crookedly or had any problems.

Because the cab is not big, one person sits on the seat, and the other person sits very close to him. Cheng Rushan puts his arm around Jiang Lin's waist and helps her down, "You take a rest, I'll teach him."

Jiang Lin went to look for the children and saw Wensheng leading Dabao and Xiaobao running barefoot in the plowed fields, picking up insect pupae, especially bean worm pupae, which were very big, and taking them home to cook and eat.

It was still cold at that time, and they couldn't go out barefoot, so Jiang Lin quickly told them to put on their shoes.

Shang Zonghui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cheng Rushan following the car. Although the cab was ventilated on all sides, he would feel nervous staying in it alone with Jiang Lin. When he smelled the faint fragrance on Jiang Lin's body, his heart beat uncontrollably and he was at a loss, not even knowing how to drive.

It seemed very easy to watch Jiang Lin driving from below, but when I got on the bus I realized that it is easier to look at flowers than to embroider them.

Shang Zonghui either drove the car crookedly, or plowed the field to the wrong depth, or the engine stalled. He was much worse than Jiang Lin. It was chilly in the spring, and sweat was pouring down his forehead. It was really embarrassing.

Cheng Rushan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry about driving into a ditch or hitting someone in the field. Relax. Don't look at the front of the car, look ahead, toward the end of the field. Use the ridge in front of you as a reference and drive slowly and in a straight line as much as possible."

He sat next to Jiang Lin and enjoyed watching her drive. Shang Zonghui was exhausted when it was his turn. After two rounds, Shang Zonghui began to get the hang of it.

Cheng Rushan jumped out of the car, "There's no other trick, just practice more and it'll be fine." He pointed at the other guys and said, "Go up and show him if you're straight, and then you can learn from him."

Young guys have a strong thirst for knowledge and learn things quickly. After following along a few times, they will basically know everything.

So Jiang Lin was only out for half the morning before Cheng Rushan dragged her home. It was a little early for them to get home, as Yan Runzhi was still in the embroidery workshop and hadn't returned yet.

Jiang Lin sat on the kang and leaned against the kang cabinet to read a book. After turning two pages, she said to Cheng Rushan, "Is it easy to buy a sewing machine now? It would be great if my mother and her friends had a sewing machine when they sew things."

Cheng Rushan washed some red dates and handed them to her. "A sewing machine costs about 17 or 18 industrial coupons, about the same as a bicycle."

Jiang Lin thought about it and realized that the countryside didn't issue industrial coupons, so she had to get them from the city. She could write to Xu Aimei and ask them to help her buy them.

Cheng Rushan leaned against her, his arm resting on the kang cabinet, and tapped her book with his slender fingers, "You can ask me for help."

Jiang Lin tilted her head and glanced at him, "Humph, I can't afford it!"

Industrial vouchers for sex! Don't even think about it!

Cheng Rushan smiled at her and teased her, "I'm only three, you still can't afford it?"

Jiang Lin said proudly: "I have thought of a way. I asked Tao Zhen to help. She is very powerful now. She is very good at making small moves in the supply and marketing cooperative."

Cheng Rushan: "Then I'm not awesome?"

Jiang Lin gave him a wicked smile: "You are awesome, you are really awesome, I am very scared."

After playing around for a while, Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao ran back home together, holding a broken bowl with some earthworms in it. They took it back to feed the chickens.

"Mom, look how much I dug." Dabao and Xiaobao were very proud and ran into the house to show Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin’s scalp was about to explode!

She immediately jumped onto Cheng Rushan's back and said, "Take it away!"

Xiaobao: "Linlin, don't be afraid. Chicken is nutritious and delicious."

Dabao: "Let's go feed the chickens and lay more eggs."

Vincent quickly snatched the broken bowl away so as not to scare his mother.

Cheng Rushan carried Jiang Lin to the yard to watch them feed the chickens, turned his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, it turns out that your wife is afraid of earthworms."

Jiang Lin bit his ear and said, "No, I'm most afraid of you."

Cheng Rushan: "I'm leaving tomorrow, are you happy?"

Jiang Lin's heart trembled, she put her face on his cheek and kissed him, "Be careful outside, and be on time for meals, don't do it casually. If I knew you dared to send steamed buns with cold water, I would be angry and ignore you, and you will sleep on the floor from now on!" You won't even have a wife to hug!

Cheng Rushan laughed, "No, no, I'll listen to my wife. We have a small charcoal stove in the car, so we can have hot meals and hot water."

Because Jiang Lin was concerned, Cheng Rushan took it to heart. Dai Guohua was just coping at first, but seeing Cheng Rushan being so particular, he also became particular. When they boil water now, they will cover it with a wire mesh and roast a few slices of bacon. Of course, they can't help but take a sip of wine, but Cheng Rushan won't let him drive after taking a sip of wine. Cheng Rushan himself listens to Jiang Lin, and doesn't drink while driving. He doesn't smoke, and when he's bored, he reads books or eats melon seeds.

Jiang Lin was so happy that he was so obedient. Because he was leaving the next day, she took the initiative to cooperate at night, and was as gentle as water, turning Cheng Rushan's iron will into a soft one. As a result, she didn't even know when he left the next day.

Since the tractor was installed, the Yanghong Brigade has become proud and has stood up straight in the entire commune. Marriages in the brigade are much easier than before, because with a tractor, the work is not so tiring but you can get work points!

Jiang Lin was invited to work there, and every day he took a few young and strong men to plow, harrow and plant the land. Not only did he earn ten work points a day, but the brigade also gave him rewards.

Under the leadership of Jiang Lin, Shang Zonghui and several other young men learned how to drive tractors. They gathered together every night to learn how to maintain and repair the tractors, and they made sure to clean them thoroughly.

Jiang Lin is now the idol of a group of young men. Although they dare not say it, they all hope to find such a beautiful and capable wife.

In the past, there were no tractors. Spring ploughing and planting lasted from the second day of the second lunar month until wheat harvesting on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival. Both men and women worked very hard. Now with tractors, ploughing and planting are much easier. So after the thaw was completely completed on Qingming Festival, the brick kiln factory became busy. The brigade discussed and allowed each household to keep two laborers to help with hoeing the land, and the others could go to the brick kiln factory to work.

For example, when planting cotton, women and children can plant seeds and cover the fields, instead of relying on men. Carrying water has also been changed to using animals to pull water, after all, the animals have been freed and need to do something.

So this year, farming feels a lot easier, and it’s quick and easy.

With the tractor, Jiang Lin and his colleagues were able to haul sand, cement and coal with great ease. They could even deliver bricks and tiles to buyers for a fee in the air.

In this way, people from far away places come to buy bricks and tiles, and as long as they leave their address and deposit, the tractor will deliver them to their door.

In this seller's market, when you may not be able to buy goods even if you have money, they queue up to buy bricks and tiles and have them delivered to your door. It's very thoughtful of them to be able to do this.

The brigade cadres discovered that the brigade was really collecting money without doing anything!

Finally, some cadres could no longer sit still. They used to be hesitant and embarrassed, thinking that they were cadres and could not join the members in making bricks to earn that little money. Later, seeing that others were making one, two, or three yuan a day, they could not help themselves and joined the brick kiln factory to make money.

The brick kiln factory became even more active and several more kilns were opened.

In order not to damage the arable land, Jiang Lin asked people to dig clay from the nearby ditches. In addition to the mountains, there are also several rivers. Some of the rivers have been silted up, so they can both dig soil and dredge the rivers.

In the summer when there is not much work to do in the fields, all the strong laborers in the Yanghong Brigade go to make bricks and burn tiles, while the weaker laborers hoe the fields and tend to cotton in the brigade. They find that this is the best way as it does not delay their work or their ability to make money.

Jiang Lin also organized a construction team. They would work when there was work, and make bricks when there was no work. There were ten fixed backbone members, each of whom was a skilled worker and could serve as a master. Temporary assistants were arranged according to needs.

Now two-thirds of the households in Shuihuai Village have tiled roofs, red, gray-blue, or plaster. Even if it rains heavily, they are not that scared. With tiles on the roof, even if there are leaks, it won't be too serious. Another one-third of the households are preparing to build new houses this year. If you can't build three rooms, just build one. Brick and tile houses are always cleaner and safer to live in than adobe houses.

In addition to studying, Jiang Lin also designed some new-style farmhouses. Of course, these were not her original designs, but were inspired by some modern buildings.

For example, the bungalow she designed has a loft.

If they can only afford to build two rooms, they can build a bungalow with a loft on top. In the past, houses were built by building walls and gables, putting up beams and then covering the roof. Such houses are high and empty, and dust is easy to fall on them, making it inconvenient to sweep the roof. Jiang Lin made them a duplex in the place where the house was originally a hollow roof, adding a loft or half a floor, where people can sleep.

This type of apartment is suitable for young people who have separated from their families, with one or two children, or for families with daughters and sons who need to sleep separately. This is better than having a son and a daughter who are both in their teens sleeping on the same kang.

The embroidery workshop in the village was also well-established. Cheng Rushan got an industrial voucher to buy a sewing machine, and Jiang Lin also asked her parents and Tao Zhen for help to get one. Yan Runzhi's sewing machine was like a tractor for a brick kiln factory. She listened to Jiang Lin and made more artistic things. The embroidery on them was not the traditional delicate embroidery, but mainly fresh and simple. Such embroidery, on the contrary, sold better and was easier to make.

Jiang Lin also described to Yan Runzhi how to make a purse, a small handbag or wallet that girls especially like. Yan Runzhi and several other skillful women followed Jiang Lin's instructions and made a salable product in three days, which was very popular.

Under Jiang Lin's leadership, Yan Runzhi felt like she had her own career. The little old lady became younger and younger, and her beauty was the envy of other young women.

Cheng Yunzhi had an ancestral hall and an exhibition room, and was busy improving and compiling the village chronicles and family histories. He was very busy and had no time to feel sad about who his daughter belonged to.

In a blink of an eye, the summer passed and autumn came. Jiang Xinglei returned to the provincial capital in spring. After Lu Hang's father was investigated, he was not dismissed but promoted. He asked Jiang Xinglei to take the textile factory recruitment examination. Jiang Xinglei was forced to study by Jiang Lin before. The factory entrance examination was not difficult. If he was selected, he would work in the factory.

Jiang Lin sent Dabao and Xiaobao to primary school again. Now Wensheng follows her every day, either to lay tiles or make bricks. If she studies at home, he will practice sword.

This year, Cheng Rushan not only traveled within the province, but also across the country, feeling a different atmosphere. More street vendors began to appear in southern cities, and although the industrial and commercial departments would still crack down on them, they could not control them at all.

He intuitively believed that there would be more and more vendors and commercial activities in the future, and the flow of goods from place to place would become more and more frequent, so he deliberately traveled more often to learn about transportation routes, local customs, and local specialties.

Now there is no idle person in this family.

Early that morning, Jiang Lin and Wensheng went to the brick kiln factory, then came back to stroll around the school and secretly spy on Dabao and Xiaobao.

The school in their village has been just a showpiece in recent years. The children don't want to go to school, and the teachers are too lazy to prepare lessons and teach seriously, so they just go through the motions in class.

Although Dabao and Xiaobao are already in school, they don't like to listen to what the teacher says, and they think it's more fun to study in the Yuhong class with their grandfather. So when the two brothers sit together in class, they are either distracted or make up stories. Their little brains are full of imagination and they can fly into outer space in a short while.

This class was a self-study class, and the teacher left after assigning tasks.

Dabao was sharp-eyed. Seeing Jiang Lin and Wensheng outside, he immediately poked Xiaobao and said, "Mom is here."

Xiaobao immediately picked up the textbook, held it horizontally and read aloud very seriously: "Autumn is here, the leaves are turning yellow. A group of wild geese are flying south, sometimes in a formation, sometimes flying randomly..."

His behavior scared the students behind him, who were wondering what he was doing.

Xiaobao read aloud for a while, used the book to cover himself, bent down, turned his head and asked Dabao: "Is Linlin gone?"

Dabao turned his head and looked, and happened to meet Jiang Lin's eyes through the wooden window frame. She was stunned, probably frightened by Xiaobao. He immediately winked and smiled at Jiang Lin, then said to Xiaobao, "Let's go."

Xiao Bao heaved a sigh of relief, sat up straight, threw his book aside, and stretched himself. "Dad must be back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we can celebrate his birthday." Children learn words without caring whether it is appropriate or not.

Dabao hummed and pursed his lips to hold back his laughter.

Xiaobao: "School is over, what's the point of studying on your own? It's not as fun as the Yuhong class."

Other students started to make a noise, "Please give us something fun."

Xiaobao: "Let me tell you a story about Dongsheng fighting the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

“I want to listen!” This classroom was filled with first and second graders. They all stopped studying and turned to stare at Xiaobao and listen to the story.

"A long time ago, Dongsheng..."

"Xiaobao, why is your father so long ago?"

"Hey, don't interrupt!" The other kids quickly told the one who didn't fit in with the atmosphere to shut up. How long do you care? Who said Dongsheng is Xiaobao's father? Dongsheng is me!

Jiang Lin listened outside the window for a while, said nothing, then turned around and walked away silently.

Wensheng followed her, "Mom, Xiaobao tells good stories, can you please not criticize him?"

Jiang Lin: "If I don't criticize him, I'm not a teacher." Children's imagination is so precious, why should I criticize it? It's just that the teaching quality in the countryside is really not good, so she thinks she still needs to find a way to let Dabao and Xiaobao go to school in the city.

So she must get into university so that she can take her two brothers to study together.

The exams are in winter, and you will be enrolled in the spring of next year. Jiang Lin, you must do your best! She clenched her fists to encourage herself.

Wensheng: "Mom, is my dad, the big moon, coming back?" On the fifteenth day, Wensheng always said it was the big moon.

Jiang Lin said excitedly, "Yes, your father said that he would come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrate Dabao and Xiaobao's birthdays."

She was a little excited when she thought Cheng Rushan was coming back. Cheng Rushan had been away for a long time, a whole month. At first, she thought that she could finally sleep alone until dawn, but after a few days, she started to have trouble sleeping alone again. Oh, this person is really a strange creature.

She and Wensheng went to find Cheng Yunzhi.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Hongjie and another propaganda officer were also there. They were sorting out some oral histories with Cheng Yunzhi, transcribing them and binding them into different categories.

"Xiao Jie, why are you here today?" Zeng Hongjie hasn't been here for a while.

Zeng Hongjie saw Jiang Lin and Wensheng coming in together, and couldn't help but pick up the camera to take a picture, "Don't move!"

She had been here a while ago and knew about Vincent's current situation. She thought it was amazing. A 12-year-old boy was mentally ill, then he became a man who could sing opera and curse, then he became a six or seven-year-old child who was innocent and joking, and now he has become a boy in his early teens. It is obviously the same person, the same body, but when he was like a child, the look in his beautiful eyes was really that of a child. Now he is like a teenager, his eyes are immature but restrained, and he pretends to be mature.

But he is clearly over 1.80 meters tall and has a slender figure, and with such an expression and eyes, it really makes people curious.

She smiled and said, "It's unfortunate every time I come here, I don't have the chance to take a photo of you and Cheng Rushan."

Jiang Lin: "There will be a chance in the future."

Zeng Hongjie came for the showroom, not the exhibition room. The exhibition room has been set up, and all the work is in place. It only needs Cheng Yunzhi to improve it, which has nothing to do with her. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and heard Tao Zhen say that Jiang Lin had made a new product called a gold bag. It was originally said that Jiang Lin would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver goods in a few days, and Zeng Hongjie couldn't help but come to take a look.

Jiang Lin greeted them and accompanied Zeng Hongjie to visit the Xiufang.

She asked Wensheng to stay here to help Cheng Yunzhi, but he didn't like the cool and solemn furnishings and atmosphere here, so he followed Jiang Lin and Zeng Hongjie to the embroidery workshop.

Zeng Hongjie said to Jiang Lin on the way, "I heard that the factories in the city are hiring. I have an uncle who is in charge of the recruitment there. Do you want to give it a try?"

Jiang Lin knew that Zeng Hongjie's family was well-off, and many people asked her for help in solving work problems, but she never helped them. She also repeatedly stated that she did not have such ability, otherwise she would have gone there long ago. Why did she have to work in a low-paying department like the Cultural Center?

She didn't expect Zeng Hongjie to take the initiative to find a job for her, so she hurriedly thanked her.

"Thank you, Xiaojie. I just want to try and see if I can go to the provincial capital. After all, my mother's family is there. If I can go to the provincial capital, it will be convenient in the future."

Zeng Hongjie didn't expect Jiang Lin to have such a big goal. She smiled and said, "Then you have to think of a way."

If she hadn't been married, she could have been transferred back through connections. But she is married and has children, so if she wants to go back to the city she has to get divorced, otherwise it would be impossible.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. There will always be a chance."

They chatted and laughed as they entered the house. The embroidery workshop and the red-raising class were together, occupying two rooms. There were two sewing machines and twenty helpers, ranging from **-year-old girls to old women in their sixties and seventies. Anyone who was skillful could come.

Because Zeng Hongjie liked it, she promoted it in the county and regarded it as a kind of folk culture, so she did not encounter any difficulties and it went smoothly.

Now Zeng Hongjie buys some unique ones from here, and also draws the patterns herself and asks Xiufang to process them.

Yan Runzhi also liked Zeng Hongjie very much. When she saw her coming, she gave her the gift she had prepared before, a very beautiful purse.

The bronze rims, multi-layered quilted linen, and simple embroidered patterns are elegant and eye-catching, which is particularly in line with Zeng Hongjie's aesthetic.

She fell in love with it at first sight, holding the small handbag in her hands in surprise, "Auntie, you are really amazing! How come you are so skillful!"

Yan Runzhi smiled and said, "Bao'er's mother gave good instructions."

Zeng Hongjie: "I want to reserve ten, no, twenty!"

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Then you can choose the pattern."

Zeng Hongjie threw herself into the purse and forgot everything else. She pulled Yan Runzhi to select and modify the patterns, and designed new patterns for Yan Runzhi, not only with Chinese elements, but also with foreign elements.

Seeing how engrossed she was, Jiang Lin did not bother her and just looked inside. With Yan Runzhi and Shang Laopo watching, this was the place to work, quiet and cozy. Yan Runzhi even brought a radio to play operas for everyone to listen to. They were not interested in other programs, they only liked to listen to operas.

At this time, the radio began to play the Huangmei Opera "Wang Xiaoliu Beats Tofu" and Wensheng was immediately fascinated by it. Jiang Lin let him listen to the opera here while she went to the south road to see if she could catch Cheng Rushan and his car. After standing for a while, she was a little disappointed and thought that she might have to wait until the 15th to come back.

At noon, Jiang Lin invited Zeng Hongjie's family to have lunch. In the afternoon, Dabao and Xiaobao didn't go to school, so they told stories to the children with Wensheng and then played together.

Zeng Hongjie asked Jiang Lin to design a new pattern. She thought of a lot of ideas, all of which she liked. She drew them and showed them to Jiang Lin to see if they could be made. If they could be made, she would make a sample first.

"Linlin, I want to order more this time and let my sister-in-law sell them in the city. You don't know that all the ones I brought back before were snatched away by them." Zeng Hongjie has a more elegant taste, and his designs are more exquisite and unique, so the prices are also higher.

Jiang Lin also racked her brains to recall the world fashion trends of the 1980s, while adding her own understanding and the preferences of people around her, trying her best to create trends around her.

After all, even if a trend is popular in the world, it won’t become popular if it doesn’t suit the tastes of the people around it.

The two of them had similar interests and chatted for a long time. Before they knew it, the light in the room dimmed.

Yan Runzhi let them chat while she went home to prepare dinner.

Jiang Lin invited Zeng Hongjie: "Stay at my house tonight."

Zeng Hongjie: “Okay.” She originally wanted to take the coin purse and other embroidery items and leave, but after seeing them, she couldn’t resist the urge to draw, so she and Jiang Lin drew a lot of patterns.

It was still daylight at this time, so they went to the yard to paint.

While she was busy, a child came to find Jiang Lin: "Bao'er's mother, Bao'er's grandma wants you to go home, someone is here to see you."

Jiang Lin told Zeng Hongjie that she would go and take a look herself.

Zeng Hongjie: "Just keep busy, I'll go over there myself when you're done."

Jiang Lin hurried back home and saw a group of people gathered at the gate of the courtyard. Among them were seven or eight unfamiliar middle-aged men and women. A woman with a pointed chin, monkey cheeks and buck teeth stood out particularly.

They were surrounding Yan Runzhi and chattering about something.

Jiang Lin stepped forward: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

The bucktoothed woman immediately turned to Jiang Lin and asked, "Where's that man? Why doesn't he dare to come out?"

Jiang Lin frowned: "Who are you?"

The bucktoothed woman said: "You men bullied our daughter, we are going to settle the score with him!" When she said this, she raised her eyebrows and glared, looking particularly fierce.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lin is only afraid of dogs and mollusks, and is not afraid of the vicious woman at all. She is not enough for her to fight!

Jiang Lin ignored her and asked Yan Runzhi, "Mom, Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao haven't come back yet?"

Yan Runzhi said, "They took the bottles to catch bugs to feed the chickens, and said they would come back after they were full."

They told stories to the children, and then listened to other children catching insects and cutting grass, and they also went to catch insects.

Jiang Lin then looked at the buck-toothed woman and said, "First tell me your name and where you are from, and then tell me how our Wensheng bullied your daughter."

She thought that the children from other villages might not understand the situation and chased Wensheng and called him a fool. They were frightened by Wensheng and came home to complain.

The woman pointed at the man and woman next to her and said, "My name is Guo Minying, and this is my uncle Liu Dapeng and his wife from my husband's family. The man in your family is bullying my niece Xiaoxia."

Jiang Lin was impatient: "How did you bully me?"

"He pulled down our Xiaoxia's pants!" Guo Minying raised her eyebrows and glared, "Call him out quickly and solve this problem today."

Jiang Lin said coldly: "You are old and you can't speak? You suddenly came over and said that we bullied your niece? Where is your niece? Where are the witnesses? What was the situation at that time?"

Guo Minying thought he was right and wanted to take the initiative to scare Jiang Lin, but he didn't expect to be retorted by Jiang Lin.

She immediately shouted, "Why, you don't want to admit your mistake?" She turned around and shouted to the man and woman who came with her, "They are trying to cheat!"

The old ladies immediately expressed their support for her, accusing Jiang Lin of denying her guilt and shielding her own man.

Yan Runzhi was so angry with them that she wanted to explain but Jiang Lin patted her on the arm and signaled her not to be angry.

Jiang Lin: "Mom, go home first and don't say anything more to them. They are obviously here to cause trouble. I'll take them to the brigade." Yan Runzhi had been embroidering. She knew nothing and there was no point in following them except getting angry.

Yan Runzhi refused, "I'll go call your father back and ask someone to look for Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao."

At this time, Cheng Ruhai and Liu Honghua ran over. He shouted, "What's going on? Are you bullying us, the Cheng family, because there's no one here? Why are you bullying us right at our doorstep?"

He shouted loudly to show his support for his brother's family so that Jiang Lin and Yan Runzhi would remember it.

When the women saw a man coming out, they thought he was the one in charge, so they immediately surrounded him, pointing and talking at Cheng Ruhai and Liu Honghua.

Another neighbor came out to see what was happening. When Mrs. Feng heard that Wensheng was bullying her eldest daughter, she said, "Stop it. What a mess! Wensheng pulled your daughter's pants off and bullied her?"

Ever since she helped Jiang Lin and her child when they were chased by a dog last year, she has become closer to Jiang Lin's family and knows a lot about Wensheng.

If she had said this before, she might have doubted it was true, thinking that Wensheng was a grown man in his thirties, and a lunatic, and it was very likely that he would rape a woman if he got sick. But now she had more contact with Yan Runzhi, and she was not unfamiliar with Wensheng. Wensheng was similar to Dabao and Xiaobao, and he was even inferior to Dabao in terms of gender awareness!

The other neighbors also agreed. Now they all worked in the brick kiln factory, so of course they would help Jiang Zhiqing.

They found that although Wensheng was very sensible and tried hard to behave like an adult, he was just trying hard. In his eyes, the only women were his mother and his grandmother.

During the New Year holidays, people in the village walked on stilts, and many girls from other villages came up to Wensheng, but he didn't even look at them. His eyes were only on his mother, as if he was afraid that his mother would get lost or be squeezed by others.

A ten-year-old boy might pull down a girl's pants as a prank, but Vincent would never do that.

As a result, Mrs. Feng, Liu Honghua and others started fighting with Guo Minying and others.

At this time, Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao ran home from the intersection. They saw Jiang Lin at the edge of the crowd and shouted happily: "Mom, we caught a lot of insects to feed the chickens to lay eggs!"

When I got there, I saw a group of people fighting.

Wensheng shouted, "No fighting!" He rushed over and pushed them aside one by one, "No fighting in front of my house. You can't afford to pay for scaring my mother!"

He was very strong and pushed both the men and women away with one push. He stared at them, looking very unhappy.

"Be quiet, don't scare my mother!"

Dabao and Xiaobao ran over and gave the wild flowers they had picked to Jiang Lin and Yan Runzhi, then showed them the insects they had caught, and even wanted to tease Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin asked them, "Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao, where did you catch insects this afternoon?"

Dabao rushed to say, "It's by the river in the east."

The river is the junction of three villages: Shuihuai Village, Miaozi Village and Mopan Village. There are lush aquatic plants, blooming wild flowers and many insects.

Jiang Lin pointed at the buck-toothed woman and said to them, "They said you bullied a girl and pulled down her pants."

Wensheng, Dabao and Xiaobao immediately exclaimed, "Why do we have to take off her pants? Are her pants particularly nice-looking?"

The three of them immediately looked down at their pants and stretched out their legs together, "Look, our pants look so good, why did we take her pants off?"

At that time, everyone's clothes were very tacky, bulky and shapeless, which Jiang Lin could not stand. After she got a sewing machine, she designed her own clothes and asked Yan Runzhi to make them for her.

Except for the two elderly people, Yan Runzhi and Cheng Yunzhi, who like loose pants, everyone else's pants are the skinny pants designed by Jiang Lin. They have a thin waist and open front. They don't need a separate belt, but a belt that extends directly from the waist. There are three buttons on the left, which are close-fitting and strong. The pants are slightly fat at the hips and thighs, and start to taper down at the knees, and stop at the calves to the ankles. There is an opening on the side at the ankles, which is fastened with two cloth buttons.

The trousers wrapped Cheng Rushan and Wensheng's slender and straight legs very beautifully. Zeng Hongjie thought they looked good and asked Jiang Lin for a pair of trousers to make for her.

Jiang Lin once boasted to her family that these were the best-looking pants at the moment and that no one in the village had them.

Wensheng and his friends naturally believed it without a doubt. When they heard people talking about taking off pants, their first thought was: Could it be that someone thought their pants were better looking than those made by their mothers?

Impossible!

Wensheng stretched out his long legs, and Dabao and Xiaobao lined up beside him. The three of them were particularly proud of themselves, "Why, are they as good-looking as ours?"

"You're crazy!" Guo Minying was so angry that she was shaking. "You—" She pointed at Wensheng, "You're being a hooligan to girls. I'll catch you and shoot you!"

She stared at Jiang Lin threateningly. At this time, the crime of hooliganism was punishable by execution. No one would not be afraid. If the other party was afraid, he would beg for mercy and then negotiate terms to settle the matter. If Jiang Lin didn't bleed heavily, he would not be able to settle the matter!

She found out clearly that Jiang Lin's family ran a brick kiln factory and an embroidery workshop!

rich!

Jiang Lin said, "You can't just speak alone. Go to our brigade and call the brigade cadres and the women's director. Oh, by the way, there are county cadres stationed in our village. Call them all and have a good talk about this matter."

Naturally, she didn't believe that Wensheng would be a hooligan to a girl. She intuitively felt that he wanted to extort money, so if you dare to come, you will never return!

The other party saw that she was not afraid and took the initiative to find the cadres. This was different from what she had expected.

Liu Dapeng and his wife winked at Guo Minying, wanting to discuss it first so as not to make too much trouble.

It was obvious that neither of them was good at talking, and it was always Guo Minying who was the one making the most noise.

Jiang Lin: "Let's go."

"Wait!" Liu Dapeng called out to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin ignored him and asked Dabao instead: "Dabao, did you meet a girl this afternoon?"

Dabao: "When we were catching bugs, we fished out a washer. She was thrashing in the river and shouting for help. Vincent said she was going to drown, so he went down to rescue her."

"Did you take off her pants?" Jiang Lin naturally didn't believe it, but the explanation might be different.

Dabao shouted: "Who took off her pants? She has no shame, her butt is naked!!!"

Xiaobao: "Shame on you, naked butt!"

Vincent: "Shame on you, naked ass!"

Liu Dapeng and his wife blushed immediately. Guo Minying shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. Our daughter is washing clothes by the river. How could she be naked?"

Jiang Lin glanced at them and said, "So our Wensheng saved your daughter from drowning. Why are you not only ungrateful, but you also slander us as hooligans? Okay, there's no need to look for the brigade cadres. Let's go to the police station and report the case. I'll have you arrested!"

Guo Minying immediately shouted, "Why are you arresting us? We have witnesses who saw you men stripping naked and pressing down on our girls to rip them off!"

Jiang Lin's face suddenly turned cold, and she stretched out her hand to grab Guo Minying's wrist fiercely, "Don't run away, you are talking nonsense without any evidence, I will sew you up later!"

Dabao shouted, "If we don't take off our clothes before going into the river to rescue people, wouldn't we be stupid? How can we catch insects if we are wet?"

Xiaobao: "They are fools."

Vincent: "I'm not so shameless as to go bare-bottomed! I'm wearing waistbands!" Their waistbands were also designed by Jiang Lin and made by Yan Runzhi. They were modeled after bullet briefs, with a layer of fine cotton lining inside, boxer briefs underneath, and an elastic band around the waist.

After listening to their few words, Jiang Lin almost knew what happened. A girl might have accidentally fallen into the water while washing clothes, and Wensheng went down to save her. But for some reason, the girl was not wearing pants, so someone saw it and thought Wensheng was being harassed by her.

"You didn't ask clearly, didn't bring your daughter and witnesses, and came to my house to make trouble. I'm afraid you don't want to extort money?"

"No, we are not." Liu's mother denied hurriedly, "We are here to clear our name. How can a good girl get married after her name is ruined by... you men?"

"Go and call your witness and your daughter, and explain the matter clearly in front of the cadres. Don't talk to yourselves here. I don't care whether you marry innocently or not. That's your business. I warn you first. If you want to slander and blackmail me, you will see me in the Public Security Bureau!"

"Let's meet!" Guo Minying was very arrogant and felt that Jiang Lin was just trying to scare people.

Mother Liu waved her hands and said, "Don't go to the officials. If you do, they will kill our Xiaoxia. A good girl was hugged and touched by a man. Her body was seen naked and her innocence was ruined. How can she live in the future? How can she have the face to marry? You... you may be fools, but we don't despise you. Why don't we let them get married and live together?"
