Chapter 78 Chapter 78 The road to the west is full of twists and turns...
Song Guogang said a few more nice words, and Gu Jun was delighted by the flattery. He was also pleased that he had vented his anger by sending the telegram, so he mercifully let them get on the ox cart he had specially chartered.
He had specially rented this oxcart from the Tuanjie Brigade downstream - he knew that Song Ruan had a good relationship with the villagers, especially the old Wang family who drove the oxcart, and thought that he came to the commune this time to cause trouble for Song Ruan, and was afraid that the news would leak out.
Song Guogang brought Zhang Meijuan and Song Jiabao up and expressed his gratitude to Gu Jun and his group.
Gu Jun was confident of his status and just nodded modestly - but he soon regretted it.
Song Guogang and his family took the train for several days in a row. Although it was not as hot as in the summer, the crowded carriage still smelled very bad. In addition, they were not very clean people and did not think of wiping themselves with water or changing clothes. The smell on their bodies was terrible. It was fine before because we were far apart, but now we were sitting almost foot to foot on the ox cart, and the smell went straight into our noses.
He frowned slightly, but was too embarrassed to ask them to leave, so he moved to the side.
Zheng Qiuyue's reaction was quite obvious. She covered her nose with her hands in disgust, twisted her body almost into a right angle, tilted her shoulders, turned her face away and tried to stay away from the crowd. She also put the bag of cakes and biscuits she bought aside, for fear of getting contaminated by the bad smell - how could she eat then!
A trace of dissatisfaction and embarrassment flashed across Song Guogang's face, but Song Jiabao didn't notice it - in his opinion, women are just money-losing goods, not worth his concern!
He hid behind Zhang Meijuan, staring at the bag of pastries beside Zheng Qiuyue's legs.
Ever since his house was robbed, he rarely had access to biscuits and pastries, let alone rice. Now, when he suddenly saw such a big bag of pastries so close to him, how could he not be greedy?
His eyes were fixed on it.
The oxcart moved forward slowly, and the bells on the ox's neck jingled.
Zheng Qiuyue noticed that Gu Jun looked unhappy, and remembered that he had only eaten a little in the morning because he was in a hurry, so she opened the bag: "Brother Jun, I bought red shrimp cakes and egg cakes, would you like to have some?"
Gu Jun was dizzy from the smoke and was too lazy to speak. He just waved his hand.
Zheng Qiuyue put the bag back with a bit of disappointment.
"If he doesn't eat it, I will!"
An unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, and then a black, dirty claw suddenly stretched out, with black nematode-like mud hidden in the cracks of the nails, and it pressed down on the red and white shrimp crisps.
Before Zheng Qiuyue could react, a large part of the bag was emptied, and then another hand reached in and grabbed another handful of egg cakes.
Zheng Qiuyue's originally full bag of snacks suddenly had only the bottom layer left, and there were even a few black claw marks left on the bottom layer - how could she eat? !
Looking again, the culprit was found with his cheeks and mouth full, chewing with his mouth open, just like an animal chewing grass, and crumbs fell from the side one after another.
Song Jiabao chuckled at her, and without closing his mouth, pastry crumbs sprayed out like a sudden sandstorm.
Zheng Qiuyue was caught off guard and took the attack of dust mixed with saliva directly on her face. In addition, Song Jiabao had not brushed his teeth on the way, so the combined stench can be imagined.
Zheng Qiuyue:? ? ?
Zheng Qiuyue:! ! !
Feeling the stickiness and stench on her cheeks, she completely collapsed.
She wiped her cheek with her sleeve and screamed in despair: "What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"
Song Jiabao was so frightened that he trembled. The cake in his mouth got stuck in his throat. He choked and his face turned red. He coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough... Yue..."
Zhang Meijuan felt distressed instantly. While patting her child on the back, she said dissatisfiedly: "When your child does something wrong, you can just talk to him nicely. Why are you yelling at him? Look how scared my child is."
With his mother's support and intending to pretend to be pitiful, Song Jiabao coughed even louder.
Zhang Meijuan looked at her with condemnation.
Zheng Qiuyue was so angry that she was shaking. She screamed, "Is this my problem? We gave you a ride out of kindness, and you were not grateful, but you turned your back on us?! Didn't you see your child snatch my cakes and spit in my face? How did you teach your child? He's so young, but he's already a sneaky kid. He looks like he's going to get into trouble!"
This really touched Zhang Meijuan's sore spot. Her face darkened, with a mixture of grievance and forbearance on her face: "My dear girl, we took your car, of course we are grateful, and our child took your things, we apologize, but you can't insult us like this! My child didn't mean to do this."
"We took a train for three days and three nights. Not long after we got on the train, our money was stolen. We have been relying on water to survive. We adults can bear it, but children are ignorant. We were so hungry that we couldn't help it, so we ate your food. We apologize! But we really don't have any money now. When we find someone at the Dongfeng Brigade and get the money, we will compensate you!"
These words were both sensible and beautiful, and clearly showed her grievances. Coupled with the faint tears in the corners of her eyes, it just made people feel pity.
Even the driver who had been silent at the front of the car couldn't help but speak up for her: "It's all a misunderstanding, and the other party is willing to compensate." Forget it, the child is pitiful. ”
Not to mention the other three big men who were already rude and face-conscious. They no longer shared a common hatred for the enemy as they did just now. Instead, they looked at her with eyes that said, "Forget it" and "You're going too far."
Zheng Qiuyue felt like she was fighting a lonely battle and almost fainted from anger. Her eyes went dark and she suddenly remembered what Song Ruan said before - "She looks weak and prone to tears, but when she opens her mouth she can stand on the moral high ground. She is known as the White Lotus of Tao County, Hunan Province."
She didn't understand what "white lotus" meant at that time, but now she sees that this is it!
It turns out that all bitches are the same!
She opened her mouth to scream again, but Gu Jun lost his patience: "Alright! She's already so pitiful, why are you fussing about it? Look at how much trouble you've caused since you went to the countryside, just calm down!"
Zheng Qiuyue almost bit her tongue and turned to look at Gu Jun in disbelief: "She's pitiful? I'm making trouble? I'm quiet?"
Gu Jun just felt that her chattering was annoying, so he took her cake bag and stuffed it into Song Jiabao's arms generously: "Eat it, it's just a small thing, why do you have to pay for it!"
Zheng Qiuyue:? ? ?
She felt wronged and angry, and also felt heartbroken at being publicly criticized by the person she liked. She moved to a corner angrily, trying to arouse their guilt by using a cold war attitude.
But no one felt guilty, and everyone felt as if a troublemaker had been removed, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Zhang Meijuan lowered her head and raised the other corner of her lips slightly with some pride. When she looked up again, her expression had changed to gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you, you are such a warm-hearted and generous comrade! It is our fortune to meet you!" She thanked him profusely and patted Song Jiabao on the back, "Why don't you thank your brother!"
Song Jiabao was desperately stuffing cakes into his mouth and mumbled a word of thanks.
The car became quiet again.
Grasshopper loved to jump, and he felt that the current atmosphere was really awkward, so he said something else: "Three days and three nights on the train? Where did you come from? How come it's so far?"
"We are from Xiang Province." Seeing that their clothes were made of good fabrics and they were generous, Song Guogang wanted to curry favor with them and answered very attentively, "Have you heard of Xiang Province?"
"Xiang Province... I've heard a lot about that."
The purpose of coming out was to send a telegram to report the incident to their family members, asking them to help them deal with the "Hunan Province Bully". All of them paused, with a subtle feeling in their hearts.
Zheng Qiuyue, who moved to the very edge, raised her head unconsciously and stared at the family of three fiercely - it's true that dangerous mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, no wonder they are so annoying!
The other three people also felt an indescribable awkwardness.
But Hunan Province is so big and there are so many people. They can't just get nervous when they hear that someone is from Hunan Province. That would make it seem like they think highly of Song Ruan and that they themselves have no face.
Song Guogang was startled by the sudden silence of the four people: "What, what happened?"
So Grasshopper adjusted his mood, and even became more enthusiastic to prove that he was not the one who was angry: "Nothing, since you are from Hunan Province, why did you come all the way to the Dongfeng Brigade? This is almost across half of China, are you visiting relatives?"
I haven't heard of anyone holding any weddings or funerals in the Dongfeng Brigade recently.
"Ah, no, no," Song Guogang also knew that it would not sound good to cross mountains and rivers to ask for money from his daughter who had gone to the countryside, so he changed his words, "My daughter is working in the countryside here, we are worried about her, so we came to see her."
"Wow, your family really loves your daughter." Grasshopper sighed subconsciously.
His family lives in the capital, and he is the youngest child. His parents have never even said they would come to see him!
Song Guogang smiled lovingly: "After all, she is our biological daughter, a piece of flesh that fell from our belly. How can we, as parents, feel at ease when she is sent to a faraway place in the countryside?"
Others also sighed.
Fang Yang, who always kept silent in the four-man team, was the first to notice something was wrong. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Are you guys from Tao County?"
Song Guogang was stunned: "Hey, how did you know?"
Could it be possible that the heartless guy Song Ruan would mention them again?
The other three people also realized the possibility belatedly, and Zheng Qiuyue, who had been sitting in the corner angrily, also moved over with a sullen face.
Grasshopper's voice was a little dazed: "Is your daughter not Song Ruan?"
Song Guogang noticed the weirdness in his tone, but thinking of Song Ruan's pretty face, he thought that the guys in front of him had feelings for her.
——After all, even the knowledgeable Director Ma of the winery was fascinated by Song Ruan and took the initiative to say that he wanted to become relatives with them. He heard that it was easy for them to get leave when they came to see Song Ruan. What this meant was obvious - it should not be difficult to hook up with two young and energetic guys.
But if the conditions are not as good as Director Ma’s, he will not agree!
Song Guogang glanced at the few people shrewdly and fell on the shiny watch on Gu Jun's wrist - he recognized it was a foreign brand, so expensive that even Director Ma didn't have it!
His eyes were hot and his heart was itching. He nodded repeatedly, almost impatiently admitting: "Yes, yes, my daughter's name is Song Ruan! Why, do you know her?"
know? That's so familiar!
The other four people gritted their teeth in tacit understanding, especially Gu Jun, who had a big bulge behind his cheek.
"Then you are Song Guogang? The Big King Kong of Tao County?" he said slowly.
Although Song Guogang didn't understand when he got such a domineering nickname, which was even known to people from other provinces - perhaps Song Ruan heard it from somewhere - the complacency in his heart made him accept it almost without hesitation.
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
As he said this, his smug look almost burst out, and one could tell at a glance that it was just a humble excuse.
The smile on Grasshopper's face disappeared: "I heard that you have many brothers, and you are especially close to a director of the winery named Mafeng?"
Song Guogang was immersed in the praise and felt elated: "Well, it's all nonsense, but it's really good. We are like a family."
Wanting to be his son-in-law, isn't that like being a family? He even made a promise: "If you come to Tao County in the future, you can come find me and I'll treat you to a drink!"
Zheng Qiuyue sneered and turned her gaze to Zhang Meijuan who looked innocent: "Are you the White Lotus of Tao County?"
In those days, "white lotus" had not yet become a well-known insulting word like it did in later generations. If Zheng Qiuyue had not experienced it personally, she probably would not have understood why it was an insulting word.
So Zhang Meijuan thought that this was a compliment to her for being as "noble" and "untainted by the mud" as a lotus, or the even purer and more beautiful white lotus. Although she didn't understand why the attitude of the person who had been so cold and stern just now changed so much, she attributed it to Song Ruan's good friend.
As the saying goes, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. Song Guogang loves his reputation, and she is also a little vain, so she did not deny it, but waved her hand in a half-hearted way: "They are just talking nonsense."
Zheng Qiuyue sneered, and his chest rose and fell like a bullfrog.
Fang Yang looked at Song Jiabao, who was sucking the cake crumbs on his fingers, and said calmly: "And you, the little tyrant of Tao County, the future pillar of the country?"
Song Jiabao never thought that he could have such a domineering title. His eyes suddenly widened and he nodded vigorously, excitedly and proudly admitting: "Yes, yes, it's me, it's me!"
The saliva mixed with the snack crumbs sprayed onto Fang Yang's shoes.
The veins on Fang Yang's forehead twitched.
Is there any parent who doesn’t like their children to be praised? Especially since Song Jiabao has his own filter in their eyes, they don’t feel unworthy at all.
Guessing that it must be Song Ruan who spread the word for them - I didn't expect this girl to know that family disgrace should not be made public - Song Guogang was rarely satisfied with Song Ruan, and said with some pride: "You heard it from Song Ruan, right? Well, this child has been spoiled by us, and she can't keep her mouth shut. How could she say anything outside!"
Pet! bad! it’s done!
The sneers on the four people's faces all paused, and they remembered that they were beaten up last time and embarrassed in public a few days ago. It was because they were spoiled!
Wow, the root is here!
Song Guogang was immersed in his own world, thinking back to Song Ruan's soft image since childhood: "But this kid has a soft temper and doesn't often conflict with others. You should get along well, right?"
Soft temper? Get along well?
Who is this bitch mocking!
Fire burst out of the four people's eyes.
Grasshopper was the first to be unable to resist. He rushed forward and grabbed Song Guogang by the collar, punching him: "Well, I was wondering why there was such a disaster in the world, it turns out you were the ones who taught him!"
Song Guogang was caught off guard and hit by a punch. His face was swollen and he subconsciously pushed the person away.
After all, he was a big and strong man, and he had been working in the front-line workshops for many years. He had a lot of strength in his hands, and he knocked the skinny grasshopper away in one go.
With a bang, he fell to the ground beside the ox cart.
Zhang Meijuan screamed, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, why can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to hit me?"
Brother Grasshopper was beaten away, but she still has the nerve to pretend here! !
Zheng Qiuyue was already full of anger, and seeing this, she rushed forward in two steps, grabbed Zhang Meijuan's hair with one hand, and slapped her in the face with the other hand!
"I told you to pretend, I told you to pretend! If you can't teach your children well, what good are you doing! You are no good at all, you really take after your parents!"
The child she was talking about not only sprayed Song Jiabao in her face, but most importantly, he pinned her to the ground and beat her.
The other three people all thought of the arrogant Song Ruan at the same time, and their eyes became even redder.
"Yes, how do you teach your children?"
"You deserve to die for teaching such a scourge!"
But Zhang Meijuan and Song Guogang didn’t know this. They thought it was Song Jiabao who was being scolded - this was their lifeblood!
Song Jiabao also thought that he was the one being scolded, and the three of them became angry and rushed forward!
But Gu Jun and the other two were also angry, especially Grasshopper who was thrown off the ox cart. He felt painful and humiliated, and he climbed up bravely with a limp.
He knocked Song Guogang over with his head and inserted two fingers into his nostrils!
Fang Yang also turned over and sat on his stomach like a mountain pressing down on him.
Song Guogang: "Yue!!"
He reached out and grabbed Gu Jun's hair.
Zheng Qiuyue screamed: "Brother Jun!!"
Her subordinate Zhang Meijuan took a breath, turned over and pressed the man onto the car board, sneering: "You are a grown-up girl, but you keep calling me brother. Are you afraid that others don't know that you want a man?"
Zheng Qiuyue:! ! !
The anger she had just felt suddenly burst out, as if she was possessed by a killing god. With a miraculous force, she pushed Zhang Meijuan back down, grabbed her hair and slapped her, and kicked Song Jiabao fiercely, beating him bravely.
"I told you to plot against me! I told you to plot against me!" she hissed.
Song Jiabao got up and wanted to teach this bitch a lesson, but Fang Yang used Taishan Press X2 and knocked her down in one go.
There were sounds of slaps, cries of pain, and the sound of punches hitting flesh. The fighting was so intense that it was dark and chaotic on the narrow seat of the ox cart.
The carriage shook violently, and the old cow pulling the carriage was frightened and raised its hooves while mooing.
The driver turned around with a gloomy face and asked: "What are you doing!!!"
Gu Jun raised his head from the melee with difficulty, wiped his face, and said viciously: "Drive this man out, I will give you twenty dollars!"
The driver rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles: "He deserves a beating!"
Song Guogang and his family were thrown off the ox cart with bruised faces and noses.
After a bad start, Song Guogang decided to let Zhang Meijuan take the lead next time.
It was just a coincidence that Wu Jianguo, who had just had an argument with Mrs. Sun and was walking out of the village with his treasure box out to relax.
The two parties met by chance.
Zhang Meijuan learned the lesson just now. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. She praised this person first. She would feel embarrassed to give her the cold shoulder, right?
Seeing Wu Jianguo holding a dressing box so lovingly, she decided to start from that aspect and approached him to say, "I also have a similar box, which looks almost exactly like yours!"
Wu Jianguo:? ? ?
His face instantly turned ugly - he bought the box with the mentality of collecting rare goods and antiques. If everyone had the same box as him, wouldn't it prove that he had made a mistake and been cheated!
Although his complexion was not good, he had just had a fight with someone not long ago and was thinking about cultivating his character recently, so he just rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, ignoring him.
But Zhang Meijuan didn't appreciate his patience. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought he had attracted her attention and kept chattering to try to establish a relationship: "Looking closely, they look even more alike. My dressing box also has such carvings on it, and the material is similar - we are really destined to be together!"
Who wants to be with you?
Can this person speak?
Wu Jianguo took a deep breath and managed to suppress his anger: "It's different."
Finally getting a response, Zhang Meijuan immediately perked up and continued to share her experience: "Same, same, this flower is a carved peony, and the material should be jujube wood, look here..."
Although Wu Jianguo was unhappy, he unconsciously compared it with what Zhang Meijuan said. The more he read it, the more shocked he became, and the more disappointed he became - there was no other reason, all the characteristics were exactly the same as what Zhang Meijuan said!
Did he really buy an ordinary piece of junk? !
Wu Jianguo's face turned pale and blue, and he looked unwell.
Zhang Meijuan became more and more excited as she spoke, not paying attention to the person's expression at all. In the end, she gave a heavy blow: "I spent ten cents to buy it. This kind of thing is just for show. If you spend more than thirty cents, you're treating me like a fool. What do you think?"
Wu Jianguo, the super fool who spent one dollar to buy: Ahhhh, this guy is so annoying!
He sneered and turned away: "Mind your own business!"
Zhang Meijuan:? ?
I was talking fine, why are you angry again?
The people here are so weird!
She subconsciously reached out to grab Wu Jianguo's sleeve: "Hey, wait a minute..."
Wu Jianguo was caught off guard and staggered, and the dressing box in his hand flew out of his hand and fell heavily to the ground in a parabola in front of his eyes that were wide open.
With a snap, it broke into two pieces.
Wu Jianguo:! ! !
His box! ! Even if it's not an antique, it still cost a dollar! !
No, the thing is broken, how can you say it is not an antique!
