Chapter 91 Chapter 91 I even gave myself a name like Xianzhang...
Jiang Huanhuan was really a little scared.
I didn’t think my second sister was that fierce before, but I didn’t expect that she had become so good at fighting during the two years she was away. She read the letter my mother sent back over and over again, fearing that she would be hit by her second sister’s fists and feet.
The more he watched, the more panicked he became. The more panicked he became, the more he couldn't help but pull Feng Erchuan to continue working. Unfortunately, although Feng Erchuan looked strong and moved swiftly, the results were not satisfactory. Until now, there has been no good news.
I've been thinking about whether I should take him there to see it someday.
But there is no rush for now. She wants to exchange some pairs of cotton shoes with Aunt Wu. "My parents will send another batch of fabrics in a few days. The fabrics may not be as pretty as the pink floral ones, but they are definitely not much worse."
The day after the stuff arrived, her mother called her and she hurried to the commune again. She was nervous all the way because she was afraid that her mother would ask her about her life in the countryside again.
Fortunately, after all the worry, the man didn't pursue her affairs in the countryside. Instead, he reminded her that a lot of things had been sent to her, and asked her to go to the commune to inquire on the right day.
Counting the days, it should be here soon.
She thought about exchanging the cloth with Aunt Wu for some cotton shoes. "I want to exchange five pairs of cotton shoes. How many pairs can you give me now?"
"Five pairs? That's a lot."
Jiang Huanhuan nodded. She planned to send three pairs to her family, one pair each for her mother, second sister and younger brother, and one pair for her husband. Her mother-in-law's birthday was coming soon, so she would prepare a pair for her as well.
As for why she didn't get herself a pair of cotton shoes, it wasn't because she was thinking of others putting her in a difficult position, but rather that Feng Erchuan caught a roe deer at the foot of the mountain in the first half of the year and brought it back for a big meal with her family. A month later, she received a pair of woolen boots made of roe deer skin, which were warmer than cotton shoes!
"Okay, then, come get it from me whenever you're free." Aunt Wu trusted her. "The fabric will be delivered to you after you receive it. We're all from the same team anyway, so how can I not trust you?"
Although it is a large team, there are only a few families who feel so at ease.
Aunt Wu was only doing this for the sake of the Feng family. In addition, Jiang Zhiqing had really been in the spotlight during this period. Two years ago, no one dared to talk about it in front of the Feng family, but they had also been complaining about it in private.
It was said that Jiang Zhiqing found a husband for her in the countryside, which must mean that her family conditions were not very good and she didn't have any high expectations, otherwise how could she be willing to marry a peasant?
Whether he is willing or not is another matter. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Zhiqing's life has been getting better and better in the past two years. Take work for example. To be able to pull weeds here means that he is either like her, having a job that pays and does not have to rely on labor to earn work points, or he is like Yu Pozi, who is in charge of all the big and small matters at home and no one dares to say a word even if he slacks off at home.
Jiang Zhiqing is a special case.
There are also men in the brigade who dote on their wives.
He would rather work harder to earn the minimum work points for his wife. Even if there are people who pamper their wives like this, no one is as persistent as Feng Erchuan who has persisted for almost two years.
Firstly, Feng Erchuan is strong and there are few young men in the team as strong as him. Secondly, there are family reasons.
Which parent would be happy to see their son praising their daughter-in-law like this?
Only Feng Erchuan's mother didn't care. If it were another mother-in-law, she would definitely point at her daughter-in-law and call her a lazy woman.
So while some people say that she is foolish and has found a peasant, they are actually more or less jealous of her in their hearts.
Who wouldn't be happy to have a man who pampers her like this?
But the situation changed a few days ago. Although it is not clear what happened in the Jiang family, it is obvious that they care about this daughter. She is a proper city girl. Although it is not known when the educated youth can return to the city, there will always be a time for them to go back.
By then, the second son of the Feng family might be able to get connected with the Yue family and become a city dweller in one fell swoop.
There are fewer and fewer voices mocking and making fun of things.
Aunt Wu was happy to have a good relationship with Jiang Zhiqing, so she was willing to let her take the cotton shoes first, and she was not afraid that she would default on the payment.
She also asked curiously: "What else did your parents send you this time besides the cloth? Is there also the dried fish from before? Can I exchange it for one?"
More than ten years ago, I fled to the seaside to escape famine and ate so much fish that I vomited.
But I hadn't eaten it for so long that I was craving for it. I couldn't buy meat without the meat coupons, so I just brought some dried fish back for the kids to try.
"The dried fish is gone, but there should be some..."
"Jiang Zhiqing! Jiang Zhiqing!!"
Before Jiang Huanhuan finished speaking, she heard someone shouting in the distance, and it looked like the captain.
Aunt Wu looked curious, "What is he doing here?"
The captain of the Xianchang Brigade took office the year before last. He is also the youngest captain among the surrounding production brigades. He and Feng Erchuan and others grew up together with no one to show for their talents.
Xia Si has had an addiction to being an official since he was young. When he played games with his friends as a kid, he wanted to be an official too. If anyone disagreed, he would cry. His crying was so earth-shattering that it scared his group of friends enough.
When he grew up, he stopped crying.
He could howl at people. His mouth was so powerful that he could make the living appear dead, and the dead appear alive again. If what he said didn't make sense, he could talk from day to night, and from night to day.
The previous captain had wanted to let his son take over after he retired, and he had started planning this several years ago, but why was Xia Si the one who took over in the end?
It was thanks to his big mouth that he tortured the previous team leader so much that he even went to the commune to make a fuss. In the end, there was an open election and Xia Si was elected with 80% of the votes.
The reason why he got so many votes, besides the fact that this kid really had some ability, was mainly thanks to the group of playmates around him, a total of seven people, who even gave themselves the nickname of "Seven Wise Men and Seven Strong Men".
It looked like playing house, but the other six playmates gave him a lot of help. Before the election, one of them got the drunkard of the brigade drunk, one of them chatted happily with the grandmothers of the brigade, and one of them coaxed the little kids...
Anyway, everyone knew how to handle things, and Xia Si managed to secure the position of captain.
In the past two years, the brigade has undergone many changes. Xia Si's partners have taken over other management positions one by one. The old captain even cried out in pain, saying that the Xianchang Production Brigade was going to become Xia Si's one-man show.
But no one listened to his howling. Why was he howling like that?
It was his son who was caught stealing food from the fields at night. If it weren't for his past friendship, he would have been sent to a farm for reform.
But he was right, the current Xianchang Production Brigade was still firmly controlled by Xia Si and others.
The three most important positions, captain, accountant and secretary, are all members of the Seven Strong Men, as are those for distributing farm tools and looking after food.
One of the remaining two who did not do any work was the boy from the Hong family. This boy was very talkative and could make the whole family happy. In addition, there was a lot of labor in the family, so he was simply not allowed to do any heavy work. Among all the adults who worked in the entire production team, the boy from the Hong family earned the lowest work points, even less than some women and children.
The last one is Jiang Zhiqing’s man.
No one knows why Feng Erchuan did not take the job of steward, but it is said that it was because stewardship involves too many trivial matters, with people coming to look for him from time to time and him being called out at any time. The second son of the Feng family was reluctant to leave his beautiful wife at home, so he declined the job of steward.
What is that called?
What do you mean you only want beauties, not mountains?
Aunt Wu didn't remember how she said this, but she knew that she couldn't say this in front of strangers, otherwise she would be criticized.
But this is a bit too far-fetched.
She was surprised that Xia Si came here because although Xia Si was addicted to power, he was indeed a competent and good captain. The area he managed was full of work points, so he usually didn't come here.
After all, the place where they were located was a place where the elderly, the weak, women and children went fishing.
"Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Huanhuan was not worried because Xia Si's tone was normal. Her husband had said before that if something bad really happened, Xia Si would definitely cry and scream.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened in recent years, so the villagers thought that Captain Xia no longer cries now.
"Come up quickly." Xia Si stood on the embankment nearby and shouted to her, "The commune has received news that they have received your package, and Feng Erchuan has borrowed a bullock cart and is on his way here."
Well, Feng Ergou went to borrow an ox cart, and all he needed was to ask the captain to report the news.
Aunt Feng is so right, this man is such a dog!
"My package has arrived?" Jiang Huanhuan was delighted. She calculated that the date was almost up and she was thinking of going to the commune to ask in a few days. She used her hands and feet to crawl out of the ditch.
After he stood firm, he did not leave immediately, but waved to the others, "Comrades, I will go to the commune to pick up the parcel first. There are too many things sent by my mother's family. Don't worry, I will make up for the task when I come back!"
It is impossible to make up for it.
After getting the package, she definitely went home and sat to unpack it. Her mother didn't tell her exactly what was in the box, but just said mysteriously that there were a lot of good things. After experiencing the joy of unpacking the box once, she became addicted!
But when she doesn't come, there is always someone to fill in her responsibilities.
Feng Erchuan, the two brothers of the Feng family, were either of the seven strong men who were captured to serve as slaves.
Jiang Huanhuan waved and turned away.
The people who stayed behind made two "tsk tsk" sounds and whispered: "I didn't think Jiang Zhiqing was so talkative before, he sounds really rude."
"Who can say that her parents' family is good and her husband's family is good?" Aunt Wu said for her, "If it were me, I would say the same thing."
This is the truth. If someone really pampers and praises you, who wouldn't want to show off to others?
Just like Mrs. Yu, she can get benefits from the concubine's wife and now praises the concubine's ability to everyone she meets. But before she gave birth, she would either beat or scold her.
Not long after Jiang Huanhuan started walking, she ran into Feng Erchuan who was coming in a ox cart.
In addition to the borrowed ox cart, he also went home to bring a thin cotton coat for Huanhuan in case she got too hot.
As expected, when he reached his hand in from under her coat, he found some sweat on her back. He said helplessly, "I told you not to walk so fast. Take off your coat and I'll wipe your back with a cloth."
"Brother Feng." Jiang Huanhuan took off her coat and lay on his legs, letting the man wipe her back with clean cloth. She said in a long voice, "How am I going to live without you?"
Feng Erchuan said with some deep meaning, "Then don't leave me for the rest of your life."
"Okay!" Jiang Huanhuan agreed so quickly. She felt that she really couldn't leave this man.
After changing clothes, the two went to the commune together.
At a bus stop in the commune, two people got off the bus one after the other as soon as it stopped...
