Chapter 070 Chapter 70 Something Happened

Three days later, Zhang Yuandong brought back a radio, which became a top priority in the village.

Zhang Yuandong had discussed the purchase of a radio with Lin Yue in advance. He originally wanted to buy Lin Yue a bicycle to make it easier for her to go out. But after the nursery rhyme incident, he thought that he should let Lin Yue learn more about current political affairs.

Lin Yue didn't have any obsession with bicycles. The only place she needed to ride a bicycle was to the county town, but she only went there once or twice a month. She could borrow Wang Xiuxiang's or take the ox cart in the village, so there was really no need to buy another bicycle for this purpose.

And the key point is, you don't need a ticket to buy a radio, but bicycle tickets are very hard to get. An ordinary two-worker family would need to save up for a year or so. If Zhang Yuandong wants to buy one now, he will have to go through a lot of trouble to exchange it with others for industrial tickets.

When Liu Fang heard that they wanted to buy a radio, he became interested.

He urged Zhang Yuandong, "I can do it! Don't buy the radio. Even though you don't need a ticket, it will cost at least 80 yuan. We can go to the mall to buy parts. I'll assemble it for you when I get back. It will only cost you 30 yuan at most."

Zhang Yuandong didn't know that Liu Fang was actually a radio enthusiast. Seeing his eagerness to try, he knew that this guy must be itching to try and was encouraging him.

Unfortunately, the county town was too small and the shopping malls did not have enough materials. Zhang Yuandong went around asking around but could not find a detector, so he had to give up. In the end, he bought the finished product, which was the latest model of semiconductor radio.

There weren't so many options to choose from in the small county town. The radio was about the size of Zhang Yuandong's palm, small and exquisite, with a wooden shell. It was a bit like the tape repeaters used by students around 2000, but the style was not that trendy.

There are very few families in the village who can afford to buy a radio. So far, only the team leader's family and the party secretary's family have one. The team headquarters also has an old-fashioned mineral radio, and Liu Fang wanted to assemble one of those from the beginning.

Although they did not go out to show off, the family living to the east would press their ears against the wall all day to listen to what was going on in their house. There were also many people in the village who came to visit Lin Yue's house. Within a day, the news that his family bought a radio spread throughout the village.

Everyone was too embarrassed to go to the team leader's or the party secretary's house to listen to the radio. They all thought Lin Yue was easy to talk to, and there was an endless stream of people coming to listen to the liveliness. It was less than three days after she bought the radio, but more and more people came to her house, and it was even more lively than when she first moved in.

Wang Tiejun and Liu Aihua actually came to join in the fun, but their beloved son Wang Baodong did not dare to come, probably because he was scared by Zhang Yuandong's beating.

Lin Yue wanted to frown when he saw the couple. Other people were fine. Although they were curious, they knew their limits and would not touch other people's things. Liu Aihua was the better one. She took advantage of the fact that there were many people in Lin Yue's family and rummaged around when no one noticed. She looked like she wanted to find all the food in the mouse hole.

Wang Tiejun was also amazing. Not to mention that he was an old man in his fifties, following a group of women to join in the fun at a young wife's house, he saw his wife's behavior, not only did he not care, but also covered for her. This old smoker not only smoked dry tobacco in Lin Yue's house, but also spit everywhere, leaving a blatant spit on the cement floor, and Lin Yue almost stepped on it.

Lin Yue is not a stingy person, but it is not okay to disturb her normal life. She can understand people's curiosity about new things, but her patience is limited to one day.

She originally planned to put away the radio the next day, but she didn't expect something to happen that afternoon.

Children love to be in a lively place. Little Lingling and little Wanli were actually very happy to see so many people. They ran around the house happily. The radio was playing The Legend of Yue Fei. There were so many people in the house that many of them were standing. Lingling and Wanli didn't understand what the adults were thinking. They reached out to fiddle with the radio, trying to find nursery rhymes and stories.

Zhang Xiaoxi had arrived at some point, hiding among the standing adults, and was very inconspicuous. When she saw the two kids trying to touch the radio, she clapped Lingling's little hands hard.

The two children were not close to this aunt to begin with, and they had been bullied several times before, so they disliked this aunt very much. Lingling has always been a child with strong ability to fight, and after being beaten, he shook off her hand with all his strength and pushed her at the same time.

What Zhang Xiaoxi didn't know was that because they had been drinking spiritual spring water since they were young, Xiao Wanli and Xiao Lingling were extremely strong. Not to mention Zhang Xiaoxi, maybe even the twin brothers might not be as strong as these two children. Lingling pushed Zhang Xiaoxi to the ground.

Lin Yue did not see this scene. Liu Fang was in the room, but the oldest of the three children, Zhang Xiaoxi, was only eleven years old and still a child. He did not take it seriously. Seeing that no one was hurt, he did not care.

Adults rarely care about the little quarrels between children. The other adults in the room would just take a look and take the opportunity to tune the station and listen to the radio again.

Zhang Xiaoxi was angry, his teeth clenched together, and he glared at the two little siblings fiercely.

It didn't take long for Xiao Lingling and Xiao Wanli to lose interest in playing in the house, and they ran out hand in hand. Zhang Xiaoxi rolled his eyes and followed them out without making a sound.

Lin Yue was busy doing the final cleanup in the outer room when he suddenly heard Lingling crying and ran out to check.

Lingling has never been a crybaby since she was little, and she rarely cries like this. When Lin Yue found her, she was standing at the gate, crying so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. Lin Yue gently patted her back and asked, "What's wrong? Talk to your mother?"

Lingling sobbed and could not speak clearly: "Mom, Wanli, find Wanli..."

Lin Yue was startled, and then he realized that there was no trace of Wanli around. Lingling was still too young, and the more he asked her, the less she understood. Lin Yue saw from the direction she pointed that Wanli should have gone out and was not at home.

She didn't dare to leave the child alone again, and shouted, "Liu Fang, come quickly!"

Liu Fang recognized her voice and rushed out of the house. She handed Ling Ling to Liu Fang and said, "Wan Li is missing. Please take good care of Ling Ling. I will go look for her."

Just as he was about to leave, Liu Fang grabbed him and said in a low voice, "How can you find it if you go out alone? I'll go with you."

Hearing the commotion, several people who followed out started asking what happened. Lin Yue was feeling annoyed at the moment and was in no mood to reply, so he turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Fang picked up Ling Ling and hurried after them. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they ran into Aunt Luo who was hurrying over. When she saw them, she asked from a distance: "Wan Li Niang, where are you going? Why did I see your sister-in-law carrying Wan Li to the toilet? I saw that Wan Li was not happy, so I asked her a few questions, and she threw stones at me."

When Lin Yue heard this, he didn't even have time to say thank you and ran over there.

The people who were watching the excitement could hear it clearly now. They looked at each other and followed together.

Before Lin Yue reached the toilet door, she heard the crying of a child inside. She rushed in and saw Zhang Xiaoxi holding down Xiao Wanli's head and trying to push him into the toilet. Xiao Wanli struggled desperately, and his clothes were all dirty.

Although Xiao Wanli was very strong, Zhang Xiaoxi was like crazy at this time, clenching her teeth, her face was distorted, and she pressed Wanli to the ground with all her might. When she heard the sound, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes were fierce as if she wanted to eat someone.

This was the scene Lin Yue saw when he came in. When little Wanli saw his mother coming, he lost most of his strength and cried loudly. Zhang Xiaoxi used to shrink back when he saw Lin Yue, but he didn't do that this time. Instead, he took the opportunity to push Wanli into the toilet.

Lin Yue's heart was clenched tightly. The purpose of setting up a public toilet in the countryside was to store farm manure. Now was not the season to dig a manure pit. It was dirty and smelly, and the pit was too big. If little Wanli really fell in, the consequences would be disastrous. She didn't care about much, rushed up to rescue Wanli, and pushed Zhang Xiaoxi to the ground.

Little Wanli was probably terrified, and he tucked his little head into Lin Yue's arms, crying and hiccuping. At the door of the public toilet, Lingling hugged Liu Fang's neck, also crying breathlessly.

Lin Yue was so angry that her eyes were red. If she hadn't taken the little guy in her arms into consideration, she really wanted to kick Zhang Xiaoxi.

It was the first time that this small rural public toilet welcomed so many people. Six or seven people were standing at the door, accusing Zhang Xiaoxi of wrongdoings. Zhang Xiaoxi sat on the ground with his head lowered, not saying a word.

The two brothers Zhang Shouren and Zhang Shouyi came very quickly this time. As soon as Lin Yue stood up holding the child, the two of them ran in, panting and pushing through the crowd.

The two families were close now. As soon as Lin Yue came over, someone went to the old house to report the news. The two brothers didn't know the details, but they knew that Zhang Xiaoxi didn't like these two nephews and nieces. They were afraid that Zhang Xiaoxi would do something to the children again, so they hurried over. However, they didn't expect to hear a group of people talking about Zhang Xiaoxi pushing Xiao Wanli into the toilet.

Lin Yue glanced at the two brothers indifferently, without saying a word, he picked up Xiao Wanli and was about to leave.

Both of them felt very guilty about what their sister had done, and they looked at Lin Yue evasively.

Zhang Xiaoxi heard the noise and slowly raised her head. Her eyes were empty and unfocused. When she saw clearly that it was her two brothers who came, a fierce anger suddenly broke out in her eyes. She stood up suddenly and pounced on the child in Lin Yue's arms.

Lin Yue was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. Seeing that she couldn't attack Xiao Wanli, Zhang Xiaoxi bit Lin Yue's wrist. She made a fierce "wuwu" sound and didn't let go even when her mouth was full of blood. Soon blood dripped from Lin Yue's fingertips to the ground. Lin Yue felt pain and didn't spare any time. He swung his arm and threw the man out. Zhang Xiaoxi hit the old earth wall of the toilet hard, and the wall shook twice.
