In the days that followed, young comrade Jiang Henian was forbidden to go up the mountain alone, even with Dewang. He became He Jinshan's personal companion and had to carry him wherever he went.
As long as she left home, no matter where she was going, whether to study at Lao Ma Liu's or visit Ma Guihong's, she would be picked up and dropped off.
Even when they went to work, the two of them would always be arranged together. Jiang Henian dawdled, drank some sweet soup, ate some small cakes, and ran to the wild field next to her to dig up some weeds. The work was done by her husband.
The villagers looked on and laughed and murmured.
Wow... Which couple can be so affectionate, like honey and oil? Look, they are really going to spoil the young wife into a lazy woman. They are so precious.
I eat and play with the same gadgets every day, and I don’t have to do any work.
Those who had secretly mocked Jiang Henian for jumping into the river to "force" a marriage were now completely silent. No matter how they got married, the key point was that the little girl was now spoiled and became fair, tender and delicate, and her husband was inseparable from her husband in every way. Which woman would not envy her?
Nowadays, other couples look like acquaintances from the outside. There is no such intimacy as holding hands, putting arms around shoulders, touching heads, and pinching faces. Even in the next room, they just get on the kang and sleep with their heads facing sideways after doing the deed.
The key is these two people, one is tall, strong and handsome enough to make people drool, the other is petite, fair and beautiful like a doll. Standing together, it is so pleasing to the eyes that everyone who sees them will envy them.
Wang Yuenniu, who had just recovered from her heartbreak, was so irritated that she hugged her mother's thigh and cried, "Mom! Find me a partner like He Jinshan! I'll marry him right away!"
Her mother kicked her away with a "go, go, go".
"I'm still thinking about it, what are you daydreaming about? Look at you, you look like a pig gnawing on your food every day. Even if there is a man like you, will he look down on you?"
You are really my mother, such vicious words!
Wang Yuenniu, holding her broken heart, threw herself on the table heartbroken, and the pig started to eat it.
In the wild woods outside the educated youth site, Pang Ji was breaking branches with a crackling sound.
"Damn it, we've been lying in ambush for a week! And we haven't caught a single target! He doesn't even keep a hen's chicks under his watch!"
A cold wind whistled through the forest. Hou Wenying wrapped herself tightly in her thick cotton coat, her words tinged with coldness: "Did you give yourself away again? Has he become wary of you?"
Pang Ji looked up at her and snorted, "Me? Why don't you say it's you? You've run into obstacles everywhere you've been around Jiang Henian, haven't you?"
Hou Wenying's mouth twitched slightly.
That little girl was also crazy. Every time she thought of a way to trick someone away, she would say that she was going to look for her man and that he would be worried and unhappy if she went too far away.
I've never seen such a disgusting person. He's only ten meters away, why is he worried?!
"Pang Ji, go and seduce that girl." Hou Wenying suggested suddenly with a stern face.
Pang Ji looked like he had seen a ghost: "What?!"
"Forget it," Hou Wenying changed her mind quickly and looked away from him in disgust.
Pang Ji got angry instead, "What are you looking at?"
Hou Wenying crossed her arms and glanced at him again with a look that said, "You're going to humiliate yourself!" She said lightly, "Her man is like that, what can you use to seduce him?"
"How can I compare to—" Pang Ji thrust the broken stick into the ground, staring blankly, "Fuck your mother!"
Hou Wenying: "You can catch up if you go to the underworld now."
The two of them stared blankly with surprised expressions.
It's mainly because of the cold. The temperature has dropped a lot in the past few days. It's just the beginning of winter, but there is already an atmosphere of severe cold in the deep winter.
"What a horrible weather!"
Pang Ji stood up and jumped up and down several times. "Let's go. I'm freezing to death. Anyway, if we delay any longer, everyone will stay indoors for the whole winter. Then we won't be able to do anything. We can only wait until spring!"
After saying this, he was speechless, "Damn! I've been staying in this damn place for so long."
"We can't wait until spring," Hou Wenying said coldly, "Let's just go and snatch that girl away. I don't believe the two of us can't defeat him. As long as that girl is around, he'll definitely hand over the letter. Then, we can kill them both together!"
Pang Ji paused and flatly rejected the idea: "No! The risk is too great. If we fail, everything will be exposed!"
He looked a little strange.
Hou Wenying crossed his arms and said coldly, "Then what do you say we should do? They're pushing us again. The military in the capital is almost on the verge of getting to the bottom of this. We'll be in big trouble when that happens."
Pang Ji was speechless. He turned around in frustration and kicked the tree trunk hard. A bunch of yellow leaves fluttered down. "Damn it!"
"Pongi."
Hou Wenying stared at Pang Ji, his tone ambiguous and pointed, "You can't bring yourself to kill that girl, right?"
Pang Ji paused, his face darkening, and he glanced at her sideways, "Are you sick?"
"You know what's going on," Hou Wenying snorted. "Don't stare at that pretty girl all the time and develop feelings for her."
"I don't care whether you live or die, but please don't implicate me. I'm going back to my hometown to retire after this job."
She said and prepared to leave.
"Hou Wenying."
Pang Ji stopped her and said, "You don't really think that those old guys will let you get away once you get on this pirate ship?"
Hou Wenying didn't look back. Her gaze fell on a small tree with only dead branches left. She tightened her grip and snorted, "Whether they let me go or not is their business. I want to leave, and no one can stop me."
She twisted around seductively, looked at Pang Ji and chuckled, "I'm just someone who does things for money, I sell my art but not my body, unlike you."
"A bastard raised by a traitor."
Pang Ji stared at Hou Wenying's departing back with an extremely gloomy expression.
＊
Bang.
Deep in Wuling Mountain, next to a 100-square-meter wooden stake animal prison, a pile of coal, nearly the size of a small room of more than ten square meters, was placed out of thin air. Even the ground shook, scaring the animals in the prison into running away in panic.
Jiang Henian looked up at the ten tons of coal he had spent a thousand yuan to buy and muttered, "If it doesn't come in handy, I'll kill that Song guy."
He Jinshan knew that she had been spending money recently and felt bad about it. He touched the little money-grubber's forehead and said with a smile: "How much is left?"
Jiang Henian's face fell, and he made an eight with his trembling index finger and thumb, "Only 180 left!"
"It's only been a few days and I've already spent 1,800 yuan. I still need to buy a lot of things. I need to buy cotton and cloth to make a few more sets of cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded shoes, gloves, etc. I also need to make a few more thick quilts, a coal stove, a hot water bottle... and food..."
"Ah! You said last night you wanted to buy some wood to reinforce the roof, didn't you?"
Jiang Henian counted on his fingers and became more and more worried the more he thought about it. Money was not spending quickly. Why not sell all the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum he picked from the cave first?
She was now worried that she had prepared too much and would not be able to use it when the time came, thus wasting her hard-earned money. She was also afraid that she had not prepared enough and that there would really be a terrible ice age cold wave that would freeze her and He Jinshan into ice sculptures.
He Jinshan hooked her chin and shook it, "I'll make it up to you in the afternoon, little money-grubber."
"Are we going to town to sell meat today too?"
Jiang Henian grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "Then I'll take the herbs to Deshantang to sell! I'll only keep the two oldest ginseng roots to make Bazhen Pills."
