Sun Caifeng was packing pickles for Lu Wensheng and the others when she heard a knock on the door.
Who can come when it’s snowing so hard?
Puzzled, he put down his chopsticks and ran to open the door, shouting:
"Come on, stop knocking!"
The person who came was Li Yan. Because the snow on the road was too deep, it took her more than half an hour to walk a distance that usually took ten minutes. Her shoes, socks, and trouser legs were all wet and felt cold to wear.
The white air coming out of the nose stuck to the eyelashes and eyebrows and condensed into white frost, covering the entire face with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Plus, she was wearing rather thick clothes, and she looked plump as she stood at the door.
Sun Caifeng was startled the moment she opened the door. She thought it was a blind bear standing at the door. Just as she was about to close the door, she heard the "blind bear" speak:
"Aunt."
When she got closer and saw that it was a person, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
He stood at the door without saying a word, which scared her to death!
Li Yan finally caught her breath and stepped forward to flatter her: "Aunt, I came to the village chief to discuss something important. Can you please let me in?"
As he spoke, he took out a large bag of melon seeds that he had been holding in his arms and handed it to Sun Caifeng. These melon seeds were planted by her in the corners of the vegetable garden in the spring. Although there were only a few plants, she still harvested a lot.
Although this kind of food is not very filling, it can still help pass the time when you are free and have an itch. After all, the winter in Northeast China is too long.
Although it is not a rare thing, it is quite expensive to buy. So since she went to the countryside, she has been planting a few trees in the corner every year, just like the villagers.
Sun Caifeng looked at the big bag of melon seeds and didn't accept it directly. First, she didn't know what she was up to. Second, she felt that it was hard for the educated youth to earn work points, so she didn't want to take advantage of them. Do you think everyone has Shengsheng's ability to change the situation?
So she smiled and invited him in: "It's Li Zhiqing, come in quickly, take the food back with you, you don't need to bring anything when you come to my house, we country people don't have so many etiquettes!"
Li Yan was sure that she couldn't take back the things she brought with her, so she stuffed them into Sun Caifeng's arms without saying anything, and explained with a smile:
"Don't be polite to me, Auntie. This isn't a valuable thing. Besides, I planted a lot this year, and I gave some to the aunties I know. Everyone can have a taste of the freshness, so don't refuse, Auntie."
The underlying meaning is: melon seeds are not worth much, and what I want to say is not a difficult thing...
Of course Sun Caifeng heard it. Since it had come to this, she did not refuse and took it with a smile:
"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you for remembering to plant melon seeds when you're so busy. Come in and have some water. It's very cold outside."
Li Yan was relieved to see her accept it. It was good that she accepted it, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to bring it up.
He heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more sincere. He quickly responded:
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
"Please sit in the main room for a while. I'll go in and look for your uncle."
"Aunt, you go ahead and do your work. I'm not in a hurry."
After Sun Caifeng settled Li Yan, she lifted the door curtain and went into the inner room. When she came in, Li Xiangyang was lying on the kang, happily wiping his new favorite - the small dagger he had taken from his brother Lu.
"Li Yan from the educated youth point is here. She's waiting in the main room. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Li Xiangyang complained without even looking up: "What is she doing here in the snow?"
Sun Caifeng shook her head: "No, but I don't think it's a good thing. She also brought a bag of Mao Ke. Hurry up, I'll go get her a glass of water. I see her shoes are wet."
As she said this, she picked up the thermos and went out. Since the other person had brought a gift, she had to give him a bowl of hot sweet water to drink. She was not the type to take advantage of others.
"Alas! I don't want to be the village chief for even a day longer."
Li Xiangyang sighed, put away the small dagger, got off the bed to put on his shoes, and prepared to go meet Li Yan. What big deal could it be that made her come in the snow?
If she can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for being cruel and making her pick up shit twice more~
----------------------------------
In the main room
"Li Zhiqing, drink some hot water to warm yourself up first. I'll go make you an egg."
Li Yan was really a little flattered, and quickly waved her hand: "Aunt, don't bother, I just need some water."
"That's no trouble. Just sit down first. Your uncle will be out soon." She didn't want to ask for the poor educated youth's things for no reason.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be pretending, Li Yan stopped being polite and drank the sugar water that Sun Caifeng prepared for her sip by sip.
As soon as she drank the sugar water, she felt her whole body warming up. Her body relaxed and her frozen brain began to work.
I can take this opportunity to think about how to talk to the village chief so that I can achieve my goal without causing any trouble.
"Li Zhiqing, did something happen at the Zhiqing point?"
She was just organizing her words when she heard Li Xiangyang's voice asking questions from behind her.
She was so scared that she stood up quickly and said, "Village Chief, I'm sorry to bother you. Nothing happened at the educated youth camp. I just have a problem to report to you."
Li Xiangyang walked over to sit opposite her, lit a bag of dry tobacco out of habit, and said casually: "Tell me."
Li Yan was silent for a while and decided to tell the truth, but it would definitely be an exaggerated version.
"Village Chief, I want to report it!"
Once she made the decision, Li Yan had no more worries and stared at Li Xiangyang with determination.
Li Xiangyang was so frightened that he dropped the pipe in his hand. He did not even bother to pick it up. He stared at the young woman in front of him and said in disbelief:
"You, you, you, what did you just say? Say it to me again."
Li Yan's heart was a little nervous, but she showed no fear at all. She stared at Li Xiangyang's serious face and repeated word by word:
"Village chief, I want to report it."
"Who to report? Do you have evidence?"
Li Yan nodded: "I have, I want to report Wu Tianliang and Xu Feng."
Li Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, it was not Xiaolu that she reported.
He knew that the daring Xiaolu had recently hunted a lot of rabbits, pheasants, and even a wild boar from Daqing Mountain. He thought he was seen by Li Yan!
He silently picked up his pipe and asked, "What happened to them?" Could it be that they are having an affair?
Li Yan: "They are having an affair and living in the same room. Village chief, you don't want news of abortion to spread in our brigade in the next two months, do you?"
Li Xiangyang dropped the pipe he had just picked up. He stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."
So Li Yan recounted the recent events with some exaggeration:
