She rushed out again and looked at Zhou Mingli.
He was holding a small pair of underwear in his large hand.
There was also soap flakes on it.
Jiang Ci's vision blurred.
Almost fainted.
"Why don't I wash your underwear?" Zhou Mingli asked casually.
Zhou Mingli had helped her wash many times before, so he was used to it.
Jiang Ci gritted her teeth and gritted them again, suppressing her emotions for a long time before she could show them.
She tried to appear calm and collected, saying, "It's okay, I'll wash my own underwear from now on, you don't need to help me."
Zhou Mingli paused slightly, then said, "Okay."
He quickly washed Jiang Ci's underwear and hung it on the clothes rack.
Jiang Ci calmly brushed her teeth, pretending nothing was wrong.
Zhou Mingli shook his hand, casually walked behind her, and said, "You went by yourself this morning?"
Jiang Ci: "..."
She went up and kicked Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli smiled, raised his hand to ruffle her black hair, deliberately provoked Jiang Ci to kick him again, and left in a good mood.
After six years of marriage, how could Zhou Mingli not know Jiang Ci?
He knows her better than anyone else.
The two didn't talk for long before waking up Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao. After eating, they went back to work.
The scorching sun of July and August was intense enough to beat down anyone, and the spring wheat in the fields was finally harvested.
The brigade leader contacted a tractor to haul all the wheat from the fields to the threshing ground. The threshing machine, which was already prepared on the threshing ground, started operating immediately after the wheat arrived.
The splashing sound never stopped from morning till night.
With few threshing machines and a large harvest, the men surrounding the threshing floor were enough to occupy the machines, while the women spread out the threshed wheat grains to dry.
Looking at the golden wheat grains and the gleaming stacks of wheat, every villager in Shanding Brigade was overjoyed.
This year's spring wheat harvest is truly a bumper crop!
Before the end of the workday in the afternoon, the team leader gathered everyone in the team together and said, "We've finished harvesting the wheat. Next, we'll plow the land, loosen the soil, and irrigate the fields in preparation for planting rice. Everyone has been working very hard these past few days, but we must keep going. Only through labor can we ensure we have enough to eat and wear!"
“There are no bad people in our brigade, but in order to prevent those who are not honest from stealing wheat, as is the usual practice every year, we need to form a militia squad every night before the wheat is harvested, led by our garrison troops!”
"Does anyone disagree?"
Although it was routine, the captain still asked a question.
The villagers in the production team all agreed. This grain was crucial to whether they would have enough to eat in the second half of the year, and they couldn't let those good-for-nothings and lazybones take advantage of it.
Upon hearing this, Boss Zhou's eyes darted around rapidly, and he glared maliciously at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli.
This is the perfect opportunity for him to get revenge!
Whenever Zhou Mingli went on patrol at night, he would go to Zhou Lao Er's house and cause a scene.
Anyway, her house doesn't have a courtyard wall, so coming and going is just like coming and going from his own house, there's nothing to worry about.
As soon as the lights go out, he'll jump through the window and kill Jiang Ci!
He silently approached Widow Wang and patted her on the bottom.
Widow Wang almost cried out, but when she saw it was Boss Zhou, she raised an eyebrow.
Old Zhou gave her a look, and Widow Wang looked in that direction.
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Porcelain.
"While Zhou Lao Er is on patrol, you keep him occupied for me, understand?"
"Watch me."
Widow Wang also gave her assurances.
During the wheat harvest, Widow Wang couldn't be too overt in public, so she could only try to seduce Zhou Mingli subtly. However, Zhou Mingli didn't fall for it at all. Zhou Huai, on the other hand, got along well with Jiang Ci and was now calling her "Auntie." Widow Wang, however, didn't get any benefit from it.
She would seize this opportunity to drag Zhou Mingli into the grove.
Even if Zhou Mingli didn't fall for it, it wouldn't matter. She had already decided that all she had to do was press Zhou Mingli's hand against her body, hold him tightly, and threaten him by saying that he had molested her. If he didn't give her money, she would sue him for indecent assault!
Indecent behavior is a serious crime in this day and age; if it gets out of hand, someone could die!
Widow Wang refused to believe that Zhou Mingli wouldn't obediently hand over the money.
Boss Zhou wanted revenge, and Widow Wang wanted money. The two hit it off immediately. What else is there to misunderstand?
After the two walked away, they discussed their plan back and forth, and decided to set a trap for Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci.
They thought that with so many people around, Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci wouldn't be able to see them.
What they didn't know was that Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli became instinctively alert upon hearing that they were to patrol.
The couple kept an eye on Xia Lei's family, and on Zhou Laoda and Li Hu, respectively.
These are the people who have the biggest grudge against their family now. As soon as a loophole appears, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli subconsciously begin to look for potential dangers.
They spotted it right away, and Li Hu and Boss Zhou both sprang into action.
Especially Zhou the Elder, he went to see Widow Wang in front of the villagers, what good could he possibly be up to?
Li Hu's reaction was even more obvious; his eyes were filled with frost and murderous intent as he stared intently at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci: It doesn't seem like acting.
She subtly tugged at Zhou Mingli.
Their eyes met briefly before drifting apart.
The captain had prepared the list well in advance and read it aloud one by one.
The wheat can be dried in three days, so we'll start patrolling for three days starting today.
The able-bodied men of the production team were divided into three groups.
Zhou Laoda was assigned to Group Two.
When he read out the last group's names, the captain's voice was still loud and clear, "Xia Lei! Zhao Wei! Zhou Mingli! Me, Yu Fugui..."
