Perhaps due to years of working, Duan Xiaoxi is exceptionally efficient.
When Duan Xiaoxi came out, she had a smile on her face and said to He Wan, "He Wan, this is the most filling meal I've ever had since I can remember."
He Wan smiled and said, "Is that enough?" She didn't mention that she had planned to cook her some meat that night.
However, seeing how thin she is, I'm really worried that she'll get an upset stomach if she eats meat. Let's wait a few more days.
He Wan led her to the front yard, and Zhang Deping, Wang Xiaorong, and the others followed to the brigade leader's house.
After He Wan told everyone about Duan Xiaoxi's situation.
They all cried out that they were pitiful.
Looking at the pitiful state of these grown men, He Wan chuckled to herself, thinking they had probably forgotten the days when they couldn't get enough to eat.
Haha, people are indeed easily satisfied.
Li Chunsheng said, "If that's the case, Comrade Duan really shouldn't go back to her home. What kind of era is this? Treating children like cattle and horses, doesn't even their brigade leader care?"
Duan Xiaoxi said, "Even our brigade leader can't control it. If the brigade leader tries to, my parents will make a fuss with him and demand more food."
"What kind of people are these?"
Li Zheng said, "Since you don't want to go back, why don't you suggest to the brigade leader that we see if we can arrange some work for Comrade Duan in our village, or think of a solution?"
Several people thought it made sense.
When they arrived at the brigade leader's house and mentioned the matter, the brigade leader shook his head: "We can't set a precedent. Besides, if someone suddenly comes to the village to steal work points and compete for food, do you think the villagers will agree to that? When you educated youth first came, the villagers also had a lot of opinions. Have you forgotten?"
This is a bit awkward.
That's true.
As a result, Duan Xiaoxi knelt down before the captain again: "Uncle, please, please let me stay. I can do anything, I can do men's work too, I can do the work of two men."
Upon seeing this, the captain quickly stepped aside and let He Wan and the others help the person up.
Aunt Chen, who was standing nearby, also advised, "It's not that we don't want to help, child, it's just that we can't help. I think you should listen to us old folks and go back. If you, a young woman, encounter bad people outside and get sold off, that would be much worse than marrying an old man, wouldn't you say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Aiying came out of the house impatiently and gave them a disgruntled look.
Then he muttered to himself, "It's just getting married. Just get yourself married off. Once it's a done deal, what can your parents do to you?"
She could easily get married, but she insists on coming to our village to play the victim, bringing everything to our house. Does she think this is a commune? Dad, if you ask me, whoever rescued her is responsible.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, how can you talk like that?"
If it weren't for her pregnancy, Aunt Chen would definitely have ordered her around.
What a misfortune for our family! How could we have married such a wife?
Aunt Chen was having issues with her daughter-in-law, but she was unaware of it.
Zhang Aiying's words made He Wan's eyes light up.
Yes, getting married is also an option.
"Captain, your wife is right. Let's go back and persuade Comrade Duan not to be willful."
The captain tapped his pipe and said, "Yes, I don't think the weather is very good. It'll probably snow again. After tomorrow, go find Uncle Chen and send him back before the ice melts."
"good."
"Captain."
Duan Xiaoxi persisted in her request, but He Wan gave her a wink and pulled her away.
