Chapter 119 Hexi Brigade



After Huang Linlin and Zheng Yi's divorce was finalized, their family life became peaceful, and Xu Miaomiao played with the children at home every day.

Ever since she confessed her space to Chen Chen, there was one obvious benefit: she no longer had to worry about the farm work in the space. Chen Chen would take the initiative to go in and work every two days.

Not only did she no longer have to worry about the work, but Chen Chen also took care of the sales of those things. He had met many people from various fields in the army in the past few years and asked them for help.

It is much safer to sell things through him than for Xu Miaomiao to sell them on the black market herself.

Over the past year, the two of them have saved at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, and this is even though they are not very active in business. If they put in some effort, they could save hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has been getting colder day by day. Although Beijing is not very far north, it still snows and the temperature drops in winter.

At that time, the heating conditions were not yet mature, so the two of them discussed it and decided that the four of them could live in the space when they had nothing to do.

When they first entered the space, the eldest brother Chen Yuning was smiling foolishly, but the second brother Chen Yu'an showed a surprised expression for a moment.

=====Dividing Line=====

Another autumn has arrived. In the Hexi Brigade of Heilongjiang Province, the villagers were busy in the fields when they saw their brigade leader Chen Jianghe coming back from the town on a bicycle with his teeth bared.

When he stopped at the edge of the field, a villager who was familiar with him asked him jokingly.

"Captain, did you find some money in town? You're so happy that you can even see your teeth!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around who heard them laughed so hard that they fell to the ground.

They all said jokingly, "Yes, Captain, did you pick up some money?"

"If you really pick up money, everyone who sees it should get a share!"

Under normal circumstances, Chen Jianghe would have told them to work hard, but today he was in a surprisingly good mood.

So instead of scolding them, he smiled and said, "I'm happier now than I was when I learned about this today!"

Liu Fu, who was standing next to him, quickly urged, "What's the good news? Are there any new policies from above? Tell us quickly so everyone can hear it!"

When everyone heard that there was another good policy from above, they stopped interrupting or joking and just pricked up their ears waiting.

Seeing this, Chen Jianghe waved his hand and said, "It's not a good policy from above, it's a good thing for our family!"

Everyone was confused when they heard this. They hadn't heard of any happy events in the captain's family recently.

That rascally boy started talking and said, "What's the good news in your family? Is my aunt pregnant again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. After a series of jokes, everyone's fatigue disappeared a lot.

Chen Jianghe didn't want to play guessing games with them anymore. If they kept guessing, no one knew what he would say.

He waved the letter he received today in his hand, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Our third son wrote to me, saying he'll be back to celebrate my grandson's first birthday in a couple of days!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing. God knows how much he wanted to see his two eldest grandsons.

That's a double stick! The Chen family hasn't seen one in eight generations. His wife saw one when she was taking care of her during her confinement.

When I came back, I brought him two photos, but he couldn't leave because of village matters, and the edges of the two photos were frayed from his rubbing.

Now he received a letter saying that he would be able to see his eldest grandson in two days. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Even a man as ruthless as him couldn't help but delay his work to share his joy with the villagers.

As soon as they heard that Chen Chen and his friends were coming back, everyone in the village started asking questions.

"Your third son brought his child back for his first birthday?"

"Is he your grandson with the twin sticks?"

"Oh! That's really a special treat. No family in our village has ever had twins!"

Ever since Chen Chen took Xu Miaomiao back to Beijing, he had no time to come back. This group of people only heard Wang Yan say that they had twin sons.

A group of people gathered there and talked in a flurry. Zhao Sumei, who was far away, was distracted by what she heard and reached out to touch her flat belly.

She had gotten pregnant once, but Zhou Laowu had an abortion after drinking, and she was injured that time.

The doctor said she might never be able to have children again, so from then on, she had no more scruples when Zhou Laowu beat her.

Even Aunt Zhou became more and more fond of her, and mocked her openly and secretly, saying that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.

She touched her belly in a daze, wishing that the child was hers. Then Zhou Laowu would not beat her, and her mother-in-law would worship her.

While she was stunned, Aunt Zhou behind her took off her shoes and hit her back hard, cursing her.

"You little bitch, you don't want to work, you want to listen to gossip!"

"I'm telling you, if you don't earn ten centimeters today, forget about dinner tonight!"

"We're both educated youth from the city, but look at them. They can give birth to two babies at once, while you haven't even laid an egg in all these years!"

"Ever since marrying a little bitch like you, our fifth brother doesn't even come home anymore!"

Zhao Sumei was brought back to her senses by the shoe hitting her back. When she heard her mother-in-law scolding her, a feeling of grievance surged in her heart.

Nowadays, only strong laborers can earn ten centimeters a day. When she was working at the educated youth camp, she was considered lucky if she could earn six centimeters a day.

Since she came to the Zhou family, if she didn't earn ten centimeters, she wouldn't have any share of dinner.

After going hungry several times, Zhao Sumei began to work desperately and became more and more haggard.

She was not a good-looking person to begin with, and after working in the fields for a long time, she became even uglier.

Zhou Laowu couldn't stay at home anymore, so he went to the widow's house in the neighboring village every few days and stole food from her house to give to her.

Unfortunately, she didn't dare tell these words to her mother-in-law, because if she did, her mother-in-law would scold her, saying that she was like this because she couldn't keep her man.

She didn't dare to stop Zhou Laowu from taking the food. If she dared to stop him, Zhou Laowu would beat her to death.

She numbly lowered her head and continued working, but her eyes were full of malice.

Xu Miaomiao!!! It’s all because of her. It’s all because of her that I have to suffer here.

If it weren't for her, I would have married a city guy, or at least a man who knew how to work and make a living.

This is all Xu Miaomiao's fault. How could she be living such a good life when she is so miserable now?!

If I'm not doing well, she can't do well either! It's good that she came back, otherwise I would have no chance to take revenge on her, and now the opportunity has come to me.
