When Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling arrived at the threshing ground, everyone was already in place. Looking around, except for Li Laizi, there were only women and children. Lu Wensheng watched Aunt Li's little dog stuff a handful of pine nuts into his trouser pocket...
The captain repeatedly warned people not to steal mountain products...
"Let's go to Aunt Li's place." Shen Lingling has recently been hanging out with Aunt Li in the circle of widows. Almost all of her old sisters are aunts and grandmas who have been widowed for many years.
The night is long and only those who share the same pain can empathize with each other the most!
"Xiao Lu and Xiao Shen are here. Come and sit here with your aunt." Aunt Li has sharp eyes and greeted them quickly when she saw the two people coming.
These two little educated youth are my gods of wealth. I have earned a lot of money by providing them with food in the past few months!
"What are you talking about, aunt? You're laughing so happily." Shen Lingling pulled Lu Wensheng into the center of the gossip group and smiled as she distributed pumpkin seeds to a few aunts she was close to.
The team leader and the village chief have been sending pumpkins to the pigpen these days, so Shen Lingling collected all the pumpkin seeds and fried them. They are a nice snack to have with her when she has nothing to do or to share with the aunts.
He even took several home. Lu Wensheng had already eaten pumpkin for several meals in a row...
"Oh, little Shen is so polite!" Several aunts reached out to take the pumpkin seeds from Shen Lingling, stopped what they were doing, and chatted while eating them.
The people who went up the mountain today haven't come back yet, and there's not much work to do. Everyone is basically slacking off, so their little actions didn't attract much attention.
Lu Wensheng picked up a pine cone with a smile and peeled it while listening to gossip.
It was the first time for her to see her little sister so skilled in dancing.
After talking about family matters for a while, a nosy aunt came over to ask what happened last night:
"Xiao Shen, what happened last night? Tell your aunt. I was cooking at home and came out late, so I didn't understand it!"
The shining eyes almost asked directly: Did you really seduce the captain? Did the captain really give you the job of feeding pigs?
Shen Lingling looked confused: "What are you talking about, Auntie? Please tell me in detail."
"No, it's about you. Didn't you and Li Caixia fight at the brigade headquarters last night? We all saw it."
The aunt looked at everyone with an expression that said, "I saw everything, don't lie to me," which made everyone feel angry.
Shen Lingling looked around, there was no movement at all. It seemed that everyone was listening with their ears perked up to hear how she would explain herself!
If I put the blame on Li Caixia and Qian Juan, it would be tantamount to blaming the team leader for not managing his family well. I just ate their buns this morning, so I can't be unkind.
If you take all the responsibility on yourself, it would be like yellow mud falling into your crotch, it would be shit if not shit!
It was the slack season during the farming season, and if this matter spread in the village, everyone would spit on her to death.
Shen Lingling thought of a good idea and pretended to be surprised: "Hey! You are talking about this matter. Caixia came to our house yesterday and said that she really wanted to learn some skills to deal with the gossipy women in the village.
You also know that Shengsheng went to the commune on business with the village chief yesterday. I thought that I couldn’t let the girl go empty-handed, so I just taught her a few tricks.
Who would have thought that you all wanted to learn! But it doesn't matter. I'm always generous and I don't like to hide anything. If you don't see it clearly, I can teach you again step by step. Auntie, how about starting with you first? "
Shen Lingling didn't blush or breathe heavily, and she just kept talking nonsense. At the end, she stared at the troublemaker with a serious face, as if as long as the other party nodded, she would "teach" her a lesson without reservation!
Lu Wensheng almost laughed out loud, she is indeed his little sister, an old hermaphrodite~
The aunt who was asking the question had her eyes sparkling at first, but after hearing these words, they immediately became sharp-eyed and curled her lips with disdain:
"Tsk, I thought you educated youth from the city were different. You're still bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!" Isn't it because you're afraid that the news will get out and the captain will retaliate?
Shen Lingling acted as if she didn't hear what she said. She pointed at the aunt who just spoke and kindly reminded her: "Aunt, there is a piece of vegetable on your teeth."
The aunt instantly felt the gazes coming from all directions and couldn't help feeling itchy all over. She quickly closed her mouth and glanced at everyone awkwardly, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Is there really food on my teeth?
Lu Wensheng looked at her constipated face and couldn't help laughing:
"Hahahaha! Sorry, auntie, our Lingling is a kind person. Hahahaha"
After the first person laughed, the rest couldn't help laughing. Isn't this funnier than listening to gossip about the captain's family?
“Hahahahahaha…”
Auntie With Vegetables on Teeth looked at the people who were laughing so hard that they were bent over with laughter. She couldn't sit still any longer as if her butt had spikes on it. She glared at the culprit, Lu Wensheng, and turned around and ran away!
Lu Wensheng was shot even when he was lying down, and asked Shen Lingling: "No, why is she glaring at me?"
Shen Lingling rolled her eyes at her. Why? You were so accurate and ruthless in finishing off the opponent. Who else should I glare at if not you?
The remaining few people who were ready to make a move saw that "There is a vegetable on the teeth" had fled in panic, and they did not dare to step forward. It turned out that this young educated youth Shen looked weak, but he was not a good person!
That’s right, how can someone who sleeps on the same kang with the Deer King be a good person!
"Why are you gathering together to chat instead of working properly? Be careful or I'll deduct your work points!" The captain's cold voice came from a distance.
The team members stopped chatting and dared not crack pumpkin seeds. They immediately quickened their movements, fearing that they would be picked as troublemakers and used as negative examples.
"Xiaolu, come with me to the brigade headquarters."
The captain had come to find her, and heard from afar that bunch of old women were making things difficult for Shen Zhiqing. However, he didn't expect that Shen Zhiqing was not a pushover either!
"Hey here it comes!"
"I'll go first. You can go back directly later. You don't have to wait until the end of work."
Before leaving, Lu Wensheng gave Shen Lingling instructions in front of everyone without any reservations.
Shen Lingling nodded: "Well, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I want to drink some soup...you can take care of the rest." Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and replied.
"good!"
After Lu Wensheng left, Shen Lingling was still thinking about what soup to make for lunch. Wang Yinhua came over at this time:
"Xiao Shen, we have some winter melons at home. Do you want some? They're really big! They're perfect for making soup."
Shen Lingling's eyes lit up. There were dried shrimps at home, just right for making a winter melon and dried shrimp soup!
"Okay, then Aunt Wang, when do you think you'll be free so I can go home with you to get it?"
Wang Yinhua waved her hand: "No, I'll ask your elder brother to deliver it to you!"
As he said that, he waved to the militiaman who was supervising the work nearby: "Boss, go home and deliver the biggest winter melon to Xiao Shen's house, the one in the middle. Don't go to the wrong one."
When Li Shitou heard his mother's instructions, he put down what he was holding and ran home without saying a word, for fear that his mother would go back on her word.
Great! Finally, he doesn’t have to eat winter melon anymore. He’s been eating it for half a month straight. Now his burps smell like winter melon!
