"What are we going to do when we want to dry the clothes?" Li Qingqing was very annoyed.
Meng Zhiyu also felt very annoyed. The person who stole a girl's underwear was either a woman who was too poor to buy clothes, or a perverted man. Either one was disgusting enough.
Her underwear was bought from a mall, which was different from the ones of this era, so it was always hung out to dry in the space. The clothes drying in the backyard were visible to outsiders, which was why her underwear was not stolen.
But the thought of someone sneaking in and rummaging through the clothes hanging out to dry without your knowledge is quite disconcerting.
Li Tingman said coldly, "Xiaoyu, do you have any herbs that would make people feel uncomfortable if they touched the skin?"
Although Meng Zhiyu didn't have this kind of herb, there were plenty of it on the mountain. "Are you trying to get the herb on your clothes?"
This is also a solution. After all, they have to work and rest. It is impossible for them to keep watching behind to see who is stealing clothes, nor can they report it to the team leader casually.
In addition, there is another main reason. At this time, the relationship between men and women is more sensitive. If the news gets out, it would be okay if the thief is a woman.
If it's a man, a girl's reputation will be ruined by just a few words from him. Although he finds the bad guy, he will also be implicated. The other person will at most be criticized a few times, which is not worth it.
After dinner, Meng Zhiyu and the other two went up the mountain to collect herbs, each carrying a backpack, under the pretext of looking for firewood.
The next day, we went to work as usual. The corn was almost planted. If nothing unexpected happened, if everyone worked together, we could almost finish the work today. All that was left was watering.
The first thing I did when I returned to the educated youth's yard wearing clothes soaked in sweat was to change clothes.
"Meng Zhiqing." A voice came from outside the house, and it sounded like Song Yun.
Meng Zhiyu quickly put on his clothes, got off the kang and put on his shoes, "I'll be right there."
Since he still had to mop up his clothes soon, he opened the door while dragging his shoes and looked at Song Yun who was sitting quietly outside. "Song Zhiqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Ever since moving to the back room, Meng Zhiyu felt that she rarely saw Song Yun. She had always been working quietly, and the relationship between the two was not good. At most, they were just ordinary colleagues.
But looking at her face, I felt that she must have been having a good time recently, and she seemed to have gained some weight.
Song Yun grabbed a handful of candy from the cloth bag in his hand and stuffed it into her hand, "I'll treat you to some candy."
Why would he give her candy for no reason? Meng Zhiyu subconsciously tried to avoid it, but Song Yun forcefully grabbed her hand and said, "This is my wedding candy. Take it."
Wedding candy? Meng Zhiyu no longer refused. He had heard from the older generation that wedding candy could not be refused.
But, “Are you getting married?”
Song Yun changed his expression and smiled faintly, "No, I want to get engaged. You should know that person. He is Wang Shunli, the son of our brigade accountant."
Meng Zhiyu had seen this person before. He was a rare little fat boy. I heard that he was not only the accountant's late-born son, but also the only son. Everyone in the team had a good opinion of him, so he should be a good person.
"Then congratulations." Meng Zhiyu didn't dislike Song Yun. Everyone had their own stance and selfish desires. At first, she liked that peacock man He Zhida, but she didn't know what happened that made her change her mind.
Song Yunlai didn't give candy for free. After giving candy to Li Tingman and the other two, he said, "I don't have many relatives or friends here, so I thought I'd ask you to act as my family when we get engaged and married."
Li Qingqing was puzzled. "Why don't you look for Zhao Shuanglian? Aren't you on good terms with her?"
Song Yun folded the cloth bag in his hand, looked at it and smiled faintly, "That was in the past. We parted ways a long time ago."
She couldn't remember when the conflict between them became more and more serious. It seemed that it was after she fell in love with He Zhida, or perhaps after she gave up the idea of returning to the city.
Today she talked to Shunli about the engagement and mentioned her family. After much thought, she decided to invite a few people from the backyard. When they came, she was nervous, wondering if they would agree.
Finally, Meng Zhiyu and others agreed to Song Yun's request. They had never encountered any good things since they went to the countryside, so this was a good opportunity to share in the good news.
The afternoon is hotter than the morning. You will sweat just by sitting still, let alone working under the scorching sun.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, before they had time to be happy, they heard a burst of ghostly howling. The gossip genes of the people who had just been working hard were mobilized and they looked around, "Who is it? Screaming so miserably, like a stupid pig."
"I was so busy working that I didn't notice where the noise came from."
"It doesn't sound like the sounds of people working in the fields. I know, someone must be slacking off." I just don't know what unlucky thing he encountered.
Meng Zhiyu thought that it must be a clothes thief who sneaked into their backyard and stole the panties she had specially contributed. Both Li's had been robbed, except for her.
However, the one she put out was not something she had worn, but a second-hand item she bought in the mall. Making money is not easy, so every penny saved is a penny earned.
Li Tingman and Li Qingqing from other groups also felt that the thief had taken the bait and were a little excited. As long as they knew who the screams came from, they could directly lock onto the disgusting thief.
The team leader held up a loud speaker and said, "Everyone, work hard. That's all. Finish early and go home for dinner. Don't rush to leave after we record the work points. Our team leader will count the number of people and see if anyone is slacking off. If I catch anyone, I'll make them clean the cowshed for a month."
After finishing the work and recording the points, the team leaders began to gather their team members. The leader of the eighth team reported, "Captain, our team's Hua Youlang is not here."
Everyone in the team was here. They were exhausted after a day's work. Their clothes were soaked with sweat and itchy. They just wanted to go home quickly to change clothes and feel more comfortable, but ended up like this.
"Grandma Hua, Grandma Hua, what's wrong with your son? He's just enjoying himself while others are working."
"That's right, that scream just now, I don't know what bad thing I did but failed."
"Could it be that he fell down from someone's stronghold?"
Hua Pozi was not liked by the people in the team because she couldn't control her mouth. The son she raised bullied other children and stole things. There was nothing bad that he had not done before, so he was in his twenties and no girl was willing to marry him.
Not only did Hua Pozi not feel guilty, she even arrogantly spat, "Ugh, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouths apart. My son has always been kind, not the kind of person who would casually climb over other people's walls."
"Tsk." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone snorted in disdain. Their expressions seemed as if they had agreed on something. They pouted their lips, squinted their eyes, and looked at Hua Pozi with disgust.
