"That's for sure! If it weren't for Zhong Zhiqing, I would have been fooled like a fool!"
"The fattest piece is reserved for Zhong Zhiqing; no one is allowed to take it from him!"
...
Zhong Wanwan wasn't in a hurry to get to the front of the line; she was just there to watch the show and enjoy the gossip!
Because I got back late, I missed the first glimpse of the drama, so now I have to have a good chat with my aunts and grandmas.
Besides, she doesn't like fatty meat. Wild boar meat doesn't have much fat, so it doesn't matter which piece of lean meat you get!
Zhong Wanwan said with a grin:
"I'm not in a hurry. Aunts and grandmas, go first. This autumn harvest has exhausted everyone, so we need to make sure we get some rest!"
"Especially the women on our farm, they have to work in the fields to earn work points, and they also have to take care of their families' meals and do the laundry. That's no easier than being a strong laborer!"
"I've been repairing tractors all autumn, so I can't compare to how hard the aunties and grandmas work. I'll just share what's left over; I can't compete with them for the big, fat pieces!"
Originally, Zhong Wanwan was a newcomer, and she was assigned a brick house with easy work.
Although I understand that they are doing important technical work, I still feel a bit resentful!
When Zhong Wanwan said those sweet words, it was as if even the men in the family recognized their efforts. This made the aunties and grandmas feel very warm and fuzzy inside, and they became even more enthusiastic towards Zhong Wanwan!
The auntie who had handed Bai Yueyao the clothes earlier, surnamed Huang, was also a straightforward person. Remembering that she had misunderstood Zhong Wanwan and said some unpleasant things, she apologized to Zhong Wanwan:
"Zhong Zhiqing, I was wrong to you earlier. I only said that because I believed what Bai Zhiqing said. Please don't take it to heart!"
As soon as Aunt Huang finished speaking, the other aunties and older women all expressed their apologies to Zhong Wanwan.
"My mouth moves faster than my brain. I even made Zhong Zhiqing apologize to Bai Zhiqing, but I should apologize to Zhong Zhiqing even more!"
"As I said, I feel bad about it, Zhong Zhiqing, you have to forgive me!"
...
Zhong Wanwan said unconcerned:
"Auntie and her mother-in-law didn't know the details, how can it be their fault!"
"I arrived late, and the wild boar was carried down. Did Bai Zhiqing say anything?"
"We didn't see Bai Zhiqing when we were distributing the pork. Why didn't she come over?"
Aunt Huang described it to Zhong Wanwan with great enthusiasm:
"Don't even mention it! You have no idea how long Bai Zhiqing's face turned as long as a shoehorn when the farm manager mentioned distributing pork!"
"She also wanted the farm manager to exchange the wild boar meat for work points, and she wanted to get more pork!"
Zhong, the straight man, hurriedly asked in the evening:
"What did Director Wei say? We can't agree to that!"
Aunt Huang sneered:
"She wants to exchange work points and ask for more pork? She's probably just dreaming!"
"The farm manager said that these work points and pork are a reward for you, the one who reported and exposed her. She's a traitor who undermined socialism, and she wasn't severely punished only because she's redeeming herself through meritorious service!"
Zhong Wanwan's eyes lit up as she listened:
"Did Bai Zhiqing cry? Did Tang Zhiqing come out to help her?"
Aunt Huang curled her lip and said:
"Why didn't you cry? Those tears looked so pitiful! We can't cry like that. Why do we cry with snot and tears streaming down our faces? It's not pretty at all!"
"That Tang educated youth is the kind of person who won't get up early for nothing. Why didn't he help Bai educated youth during the harvest? But now he's speaking up for Bai educated youth!"
"The implication was that although Bai Zhiqing made mistakes, everyone has selfish motives. It was also said that without Bai Zhiqing, they wouldn't have been able to hunt such a big wild boar. They said that even if they couldn't exchange it for work points or get more meat, the work of composting and carrying manure should at least be made up for it!"
