After Wang Yan left, Chen Chen blew out the kerosene lamp and lay in bed, but he tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see the girl's white and tender hands rubbed red, or her pitiful expression.
Finally, Chen Chen got up helplessly, put on his clothes, and went to the field in the moonlight.
The newly arrived educated youth woke up early the next morning crying for their parents. After a night's rest, they felt aches all over their bodies.
Although Xu Miaomiao didn't do much work, she did some. Although not as exaggerated as theirs, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Since the work has been divided up yesterday, we just need to continue doing yesterday's work today.
Xu Miaomiao stood in her potato field with a confused look on her face. All the remaining weeds in the field had been pulled out, and even the pulled weeds had been transported outside.
Xu Miaomiao touched his chin and smiled like a fox. "Oh! Is there a snail in the field?"
There are only a few people I know in this team who can secretly help me with work. Without thinking too much, it must be him!
Xu Miaomiao felt very happy and continued to work on her own piece of land.
Wang Yan went to call her youngest son to eat in the morning, but he didn't come out, which made her feel puzzled.
Ever since I went to the town to pick up the educated youth last time, my son has been staying at home every day and hasn't even gone out, as if he was hiding from someone outside.
Chen Chen, who had been Mr. Snail for half the night, slept until dawn.
He got up, packed up and prepared to go to the back mountain. He couldn't go to the fields to work, but he could still go up the mountain to set traps and catch prey.
It is spring plowing season now, and everyone in the family needs to eat something oily and nourishing, and that girl doesn't look like she can cook for herself.
Here, Xu Miaomiao had someone help her finish all the work for the day, so she could occasionally go under the tree to drink some water and rest.
As soon as she sat down under the tree, Aunt Guixiang, who also came to drink water, slapped her thigh and pointed to the road over there.
"Isn't this Liu Yuanyuan? She's back?"
Xu Miaomiao was extremely curious about Chen Chen's ex-wife, and quickly looked in the direction Aunt Guixiang pointed.
I saw a girl on the road with two big braids, but her hair was a little frizzy and yellow, probably due to malnutrition.
She was wearing a light purple dress and had ordinary facial features, except for her peach blossom eyes which were slightly brighter.
After glancing at Xu Miaomiao twice, he looked away, secretly comparing things in his heart.
Well, her skin isn't as white as mine.
Not as pretty as me.
The figure is not as good as mine.
Even her hair isn't as shiny as mine!
If someone can do something like framing others and forcing them to get married, his character must be not very good!
I have won completely!
After coming to this conclusion, Xu Miaomiao was too lazy to look at Liu Yuanyuan who was walking away.
===Dividing Line===
Liu Yuanyuan deliberately chose a time when everyone was at work to return to Chen's house. He entered Chen Chen's room and saw that his quilt was thrown on the bed, while Chen Chen's quilt was on the kang.
Ever since she married into the Chen family, Chen Chen has never touched her, and he even stopped going home and stayed in the army for a whole year.
Even this time when he came back from being injured, he slept alone in bed. Liu Yuanyuan became more and more angry as she thought about it. She dragged Chen Chen's quilt to the ground and stomped on it several times.
Liu Yuanyuan packed her clothes into her bag and began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets in the house.
She felt that Chen Chen must have money. She had asked people about it. The army would definitely give a bonus to soldiers like him who were injured while on duty.
He hasn't taken out this money since he came back. He must have hidden it.
But she had no choice but to turn the house upside down and still couldn't find a penny. She was afraid that if she delayed any longer, the Chen family would come back, so she had to leave unwillingly.
When Chen Chen came back from the mountain, he brought a pheasant and a rabbit. People in the countryside live by the mountains and the water.
If you go up the mountain to hunt small prey like this, the team will not care, but if you hunt large prey, the meat will be divided among the group.
When Chen Chen saw the mess in his house, he thought there was a burglar, but after checking, he found that only a few of Liu Yuanyuan's clothes were missing, so he knew what happened.
Chen Chen first picked up his quilt from the ground, patted the place where the footprints were left, opened the pillow, checked that the things in the interlayer were still there, and then tidied the room with peace of mind.
Chen Chen skinned the rabbit, estimated their time to get off work, cooked brown rice and stewed spicy rabbit meat.
After thinking about it, he took out a lunch box from his luggage, washed it, picked up a lunch box of rabbit meat, and went out.
When the Chen family got off work, they smelled the aroma of meat as soon as they entered the yard. Chen Jin swallowed unconsciously.
"Hehe, I smell meat. San'er must have gone up the mountain!" He said as he quickened his pace.
Because we hadn't eaten meat at home for a long time, everyone's mouths were full of oil.
Zhou Lanhua suddenly stood up and got a bowl halfway through the meal, filling it with the meat.
Seeing that her mother-in-law Wang Yan was looking at her unkindly, she said in a flattering way, "Mom, my brother said a few days ago that my father was sick, so I saved two pieces of meat for him."
Wang Yan was so angry, but she didn't want to lose face at the dinner table, so she could only glare at her. Unfortunately, Zhou Lanhua was thick-skinned and sat down and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Lanhua's family is from the Hexia Brigade below them. Her family gave birth to seven daughters before they had a baby son, who is one year younger than his eldest sister's child.
Our family is extremely poor because of our children and my wife keeps giving birth to more children.
Everyone joked that his family had seven golden flowers. After they had a son, the old couple in the Zhou family protected him as if he were the apple of their eye.
He constantly instilled in his daughters the idea of being good to their younger brother, and all the daughters of the Zhou family who got married asked for high dowries.
The other girls at least had some brains and stopped contacting their parents' home after getting married. The younger sister Zhou Lanhua even ran away with her lover and never came back.
But Zhou Lanhua was the most successfully brainwashed. She didn't even think of giving any food to her son, but only wanted to take it back for her younger brother.
If this was meat caught by their second branch, Wang Yan wouldn't have any opinion and would just take as much as she wanted.
But San'er felt sorry for his family's hard work in spring plowing, so he dragged his injured leg up the mountain to hunt.
Wang Yan became increasingly impatient with her ungrateful second daughter-in-law.
He glared at his second son again, saying, "This spineless coward only knows how to listen to his wife. It's useless!"
When Xu Miaomiao slowly walked back to her cabin, she saw a cloth bag tied to the door handle.
She picked it up in confusion and saw the lunch box inside, with the "August 1st" stamp clearly marked on it.
Xu Miaomiao burst out laughing. This Mr. Snail can not only pull weeds but also cook.
