Lu Fangfang ate breakfast and waited and waited, but Chen Shuhua never came to bring the plate.
Feeling a little strange, she was too lazy to wait any longer; it was just a plate, she wasn't afraid of losing it.
Holding shovels, she and Sister Shufen pushed the borrowed cart together to the stables of the troupe.
The troop has thousands of warhorses, producing a lot of horse manure every day.
In those days, horse manure was a very precious commodity.
Upon hearing Wang Shufen and Lu Fangfang's purpose, the tall soldier in charge of the stables asked, "Sisters-in-law, do you want fresh horse manure or composted manure?"
"Are there any that are already fermented?"
Wang Shufen was very excited and quickly said, "Then I want the fermented one."
Fermented horse manure can be used directly, saving a lot of time.
Wang Shufen happily handed the tall soldier the slip of paper given to her by the logistics department.
"Two cartloads of horse manure, alright, sister-in-law, come with me."
The soldier glanced at the contents of the note, then led the two men to the place where the regiment piled up horse manure.
To protect the horse manure, the troupe strung up wires and erected railings nearby, highlighting its preciousness.
When they arrived at a pile of well-composted horse manure, the tall soldier said, "Sister-in-law, this is fine. Wait for me a moment, and I'll have someone fill it up for you."
"No need, no need, I can install it myself, you guys go ahead with your work."
Wang Shufen didn't want to trouble others.
She picked up the shovel, scooped up the horse manure, and loaded it onto the cart.
Beside her, Lu Fangfang started shoveling.
Actually, well-fermented horse manure doesn't have much of a smell.
However, if there are still some unfermented parts around, they won't taste very good.
In order to leave as soon as possible, neither of them spoke, and they silently shoveled horse manure onto the car.
The two stopped when the cart was piled high with food and there was no more room for more.
Wang Shufen looked up at the tall car and smiled.
If someone else were to do this, they wouldn't put in this much effort.
"Girl, you pull from the front, and I'll push the cart."
With one pushing and the other pulling, they quickly reached the wasteland on the riverbank.
This cartload of horse manure was dumped on Wang Shufen's field.
The two went to the troupe again, and dumped the cartload of horse manure on Lu Fangfang's field, so that each of them had a cartload of horse manure.
After shoveling the horse manure, Lu Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally done."
It wasn't that she was being fussy, but the place where horse manure was piled up really smelled awful.
"Sister Shufen, let's clean this cart and then return it."
"Yes, it needs to be rinsed with water."
Looking at the horse manure on the cart, Wang Shufen nodded.
You can't just return something you borrowed like that.
She pushed the cart to the riverbank, picked up a bucket of water, and poured it onto the cart.
"Splash..."
"Sister Shufen, please don't..."
The remaining horse manure on the cart flowed into the stream.
Lu Fangfang opened her mouth slightly, looking somewhat helpless.
"Hey sis, what's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing," Lu Fangfang replied with a wry smile.
The sewage has already been flushed into the river; it's too late to say anything now.
Forget it, next time I catch small fish, I'll just swim upstream a little further. As for whether the small fish will swim upstream or not, I won't think about it.
Wang Shufen scratched her head and continued rinsing the car.
Lu Fangfang stood to the side, stirring the river with a shovel.
"Huh?"
Squinting at the water, she noticed many small fish swimming around near the horse manure that had been washed away.
Lu Fangfang: "..."
She had already made up her mind that she would never eat the fish from this section of the river again.
"Hey girl, I'm going to return the cart first, I'll come back to plant vegetables later."
"Sis, slow down."
Lu Fangfang swam upstream for a while, then squatted down by the water and washed her arms and hands.
She looked down and sniffed herself, and could vaguely smell a foul odor.
It looks like she'll need to take a shower this afternoon, and she'll also need to wash her clothes.
Shaking the water off her hands, Lu Fangfang went back to pick up the shovel. Just as she was about to return to the field, she saw Yang Yufeng in the distance.
Why is she here?
The man was carrying an enamel basin, and a little girl was with him. The two of them were walking this way.
"Ugh, it stinks, it stinks! Girl, hurry up!"
Yang Yufeng covered her nose, looking disgusted.
As she passed by Lu Fangfang, she gave a soft "humph," still holding a grudge about the humiliation she had suffered yesterday.
"Hey girl, give me the rag."
The two walked to where Wang Shufen was washing the manure cart, squatted down and got to work.
"Yang Yufeng, what are you doing?"
"Is it any of your business?"
Yang Yufeng glanced at her, feeling a lingering pain in her buttocks.
"..."
Lu Fangfang found it amusing; this person had quite a temper.
Well, since it's none of her business, she didn't bother to remind them and just stood aside to watch the show.
Yang Yufeng took a rag and wrapped it completely around the mouth of the enamel basin.
The cloth covering the basin was tied tightly with a rope, and a hole was torn in it.
Yang Yufeng glanced at Lu Fangfang, quite pleased with herself, and said to her daughter, "Daniu, bring out the beef bones."
The little girl opened the cloth bag and took out a large piece of beef rib.
Seeing this, Lu Fangfang finally couldn't help but get angry.
"Cough cough."
Yang Yufeng felt a little guilty. She muttered, "This is what I earned after working all morning. I even washed the pots. I don't owe anyone anything."
Lu Fangfang gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
"Girl, hurry up and put the bone in."
Yang Yufeng was delighted to see many small fish swimming around on the shore.
