When the person arrived, Jiang Wanwan greeted the captain with a smile and left.
Judging from the captain's expression, it seems like there is something urgent.
Lu Yong saw the big bag of things Jiang Wanwan was carrying and sighed that Lu Xiao was a lucky boy.
Nowadays, people look down on those who live off their wives, but who would want to eat corn tortillas when there is ready-made free food?
Those who say those things are just sour grapes.
The comrade in blue people's uniform next to him became interested.
"Is the comrade just now also an educated youth from your village?"
He heard the team leader call the other party Jiang Zhiqing. The female comrade who was arrested today mentioned that the person she wanted to report was the Zhiqing named Jiang.
"Yes, I have been in our team for more than two years," Lu Yong replied with a smile.
"I see she's carrying a lot of stuff. Did she just buy it from outside? Is your Red Star Brigade so rich?"
Originally he thought that the female comrade was just making random accusations, but now seeing Jiang Wanwan carrying so many things, he became a little suspicious.
She couldn't earn that much money by earning work points in the countryside, unless she had other ways to make money.
Lu Yong didn't take it personally and replied with a smile, "That's right. This woman's family is well-off and they often send her things and money. Even if she doesn't work in the brigade to earn work points, she won't starve. But Jiang Wanwan is a woman with high consciousness. Even with her family's support, she never neglects her work in the brigade. She even married a member of our brigade some time ago. It seems she is going to take root in the countryside."
After all, one should be grateful for the food that someone else has eaten. Lu Yong has eaten Jiang Wanwan's big meat buns, so of course he would not say anything bad about her in front of outsiders.
What's more, Lu Yong did have a good impression of Jiang Wanwan.
The comrade in the blue civilian uniform nodded and asked, "I heard Qiao Wenwan and Jiang Wanwan were part of a group of educated youth who went to the countryside. What do you think of Comrade Qiao Wenwan?"
Lu Yong felt a headache whenever he mentioned Qiao Wenwan. It was bad enough that she was lazy at work and asked for leave, but she didn't take good care of Du Zhiqing in the clinic and actually engaged in speculation and profiteering.
With someone like her around, their Red Star Brigade can forget about becoming an advanced team this year.
"Her? That's all."
Lu Yong really didn't want to say more.
Maybe it would be a discredit to their Red Star Brigade. To say she was good, Lu Yong really couldn't think of anything worthy of praise about Qiao Wenwan.
The comrade in the blue uniform now understood the situation. Between a female comrade who was praised repeatedly by a team leader and a female comrade who was hard to describe, was there any need to ask who to trust?
Most likely, it was because that Zhiqing Qiao was jealous of Zhiqing Jiang that he made random accusations. He had seen this kind of thing many times.
………………
When Jiang Wanwan got home, Lu Xiao had already paid his taxes and was building a pigpen in the backyard with Li Ergou.
Li Ergou saw that Jiang Wanwan was particularly enthusiastic, so he waved and greeted her from a distance.
Jiang Wanwan took out some fried dough sticks and asked them to wash their hands and eat some to fill their stomachs.
It was already past lunch time, but the two grown men were still working without any pause, sweating profusely. I didn't know if they were careless or not hungry.
Li Ergou took the fried dough sticks and saw Lu Xiao who was still washing his hands. He came forward and whispered to Jiang Wanwan to complain.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, I've been hungry for a long time, but Brother Xiao wouldn't let me go back to eat, and told me that I must build the pigpen today. Sister-in-law, you are really my savior."
After saying that, he took a big bite of the fried dough stick and stopped talking for a moment.
The fried white flour smells so good. I can’t remember the last time I ate youtiao.
Jiang Wanwan saw that he was eating so fast that he must be very hungry. She poured him a bowl of water and handed a stick to Lu Xiao who had just come over.
"Why are we starting to build the pigpen today?" We had agreed before that we would build the courtyard wall first.
Lu Xiao cut a piece of fried dough stick into two and handed it to Jiang Wanwan, asking her to eat it with him.
During this period of time, I also got to know Jiang Wanwan's personality a little bit. She would never eat the good things she bought herself first.
After she took a bite of the fried dough stick, he replied, "The commune has a batch of piglets ready for sale in the next two days. If you're late, you won't be able to grab them."
Although individuals can raise pigs now, the piglets must be caught collectively, and individuals are not allowed to raise sows.
Communes and brigades raised sows to generate income for the state and the collective, but individuals raising sows were seen as going it alone and restoring capitalism, and would be cut off as the tail of capitalism.
In fact, there are not many people raising pigs at this time, and there are only two or three households in the whole village. The main reason is that there is not enough food and no extra food to raise pigs.
Earlier, the Red Star Brigade had arranged people to be responsible for collective pig farming, and even raised sows.
During the Chinese New Year, two fat pigs are slaughtered and distributed to everyone for the New Year. When a sow gives birth to piglets, they can also be distributed to capable members to raise.
As a result, the breeder did not take proper care of the sows during childbirth, and it was winter, so the sows became infected and died after giving birth. The piglets either died of the disease or froze to death. In the end, all the money was lost and the team suffered heavy losses. The team leader no longer arranged to raise pigs in the team.
Jiang Wanwan didn't expect to raise pigs so soon. She thought she would have to wait until next year. She was very happy.
She asked the two of them to work hard and she went to make braised pork for them.
Li Ergou, who had already had fried dough sticks to eat, had no complaints. When he heard that there would be braised pork to eat, he stopped resting and urged Lu Xiao to work quickly.
"Brother Xiao, have you discussed that matter with your sister-in-law?"
After glancing towards the front yard, Li Ergou asked Lu Xiao in a low voice.
"I'm always unsure whether this is capitalism or not."
Lu Xiao lowered his head, spread the soil mixed with straw on the stone to level it, and then piled a big stone on top.
"You don't need to tell your sister-in-law about this. Just tell her whether you're willing to do it or not. If you're afraid, you can go home after you finish building the pigpen. If you're willing to help with the rest, then come and help. If you're not willing, then just pretend you know nothing."
