Chapter 53
Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe took another road when they went down the mountain. In front of them were soldiers transporting supplies down the mountain. The two followed behind them. This road was shorter and they could get down the mountain in less than three hours.
The little black dog and the little wild boar were placed in a basket at first. Although the little black dog was only one month old, it already had some wolf nature. It would not let the little wild boar get close to it. Once it got close, it would stretch out its claws to scratch the little wild boar, or directly bite it with its mouth.
The little wild boar had just been born and was not strong enough, so it was pinned down and bullied by the little black dog. However, it was a wild boar after all, so it did not give in at all. The dog and the pig fought back and forth. Fortunately, its little baby teeth were not affected, so the damage was very small.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited as they grew bigger, Jiang Mi reached out to separate the two of them, picked up the puppy, and fed it some space water.
As for the little drop of water, it has already run out to look for herbs. After eating three ginseng roots yesterday, it can travel a little further.
In the second half, Jiang Mi didn't want to walk anymore, so she let Yang Jiahe carry her. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they climbed into the back of a military truck, which was already filled with rice, flour, grain and oil, enough for a battalion to eat for ten days.
Seeing the rare person, members of the nearby brigade all came to see. They had no idea that there was a village on the mountain. Some members walked up the mountain road, saying that they wanted to help the army carry things, but in fact they also wanted to pick up some leftovers.
I drove slowly, and when I reached a place with few people, I started to speed up. After about forty minutes, I arrived at the county.
These grains have been temporarily transported to the grain station, and the specific arrangements will be made by the county party secretary later.
This incident is a major event for Luochengling, especially since Xiao Kaiyang is a real spy. If he can get some valuable information, it will be a great political achievement for both the military and the government.
Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe got off the truck and went to the Public Security Bureau to ride their bicycles, and then they ran into Tan Zhuang again.
Tan Zhuang knew everything now. When he saw Xiao Kaiyang and his group being kidnapped, he was stunned for a long time. He never thought that Xiao Kaiyang would be finished overnight.
He looked much older in an instant. He had chosen the wrong side this time and had also done a lot of things for Xiao Kaiyang. He didn't know if he could get away with it.
He really couldn't understand why Xiao Kaiyang was suddenly arrested, as Xiao Kaiyang's power was so great.
Jiang Mi: "Tan Gongan, I see you're not in good spirits. Are you sick? Even though you're old, you can't avoid seeing a doctor. Regardless of good or bad, whatever's coming will come."
Tan Zhuang's smile was very forced. "I'm fine, and I'll be fine in the future. Don't worry about me."
Jiang Mi smiled and nodded: "Yes,
It is Director Fang who should care about his subordinates.”
The original accounts have to be settled bit by bit.
She didn't think that Xiao Kaiyang and Cao Gaoyi would hide anything for these people.
Yang Jiahe unlocked the bike, got on it, and hung the basket on the handlebars. Jiang Mi sat on the back seat. "Tan Public Security, see you next time."
Tan Gongan watched Jiang Mi leave, his heart filled with hatred. He had been waiting for Xiao Kaiyang to get Fang Ming out of office. Yesterday's incident was just a small warning, and it was only the beginning! By then, the position of Public Security Bureau Director would be his.
Just one step away, how could Xiao Kaiyang be finished?
The two of them did not stay in the county and left directly. Before returning to the team, Jiang Mi went to the school first. She had to see Miaomiao. She did not go back yesterday and wondered how worried Miaomiao must be.
Jiang Miao was attending class at school. She actually didn't want to come at all, but she knew that if she attended class well, Jiang Mi would like her more and be happier.
She was worried about Jiang Mi. Why didn't her sister come back all night? Did her sister not want her anymore? Just like her father, she would never come back after going out.
Jiang Mi and Yang Jia did not come back last night. There were a lot of rumors among the people in the team, saying that the two of them were unmarried, so how could they go out together for a whole day and not come back until the evening.
Is he planning to live outside?
Some people came to the educated youth center to ask questions, but were casually dismissed by the people there. Chen Xi spoke kindly and said in a negotiating manner that since Jiang Mi had not returned, she must have been delayed by something and must have been staying in the county.
He Zhaodi and Xu Nian'er were more aggressive. Xu Nian'er grabbed Zhou Ziqiang, who had come to watch the fun, and punched him in the chest several times. "If anyone comes here and asks me again, I'll just start fighting. You're so bored! Also, if I hear any more nonsense mumbling, I'll start beating you up without a word."
This is not a small punch, this is a big fist. Zhou Ziqiang was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. So many people came to join in the fun, why did they beat him?
After beating Zhou Ziqiang, Xu Nian'er threw him aside. Zhou Ziqiang was trembling.
The members are still quite scared of Xu Nian'er and He Zhaodi. These two dare to hit anyone and are not afraid of anyone. Yesterday, they took the opportunity to hit the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee and slapped him several times.
Cao Gaoyi himself didn't know who beat him, but others saw it.
No one dared to come to the educated youth camp, so they went to Yang Jiahe's house and asked Cui Huiying, "When are the two children going to have their wedding?"
Cui Huiying was so angry when she saw so many people coming to their door to inquire about Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi's affairs, "They didn't go to the county to have fun,
They were on business. Xiao Hong and the others took Cao Gaoyi home. It shouldn't take more than half a day to finish this. They haven't returned yet, so it must have led to something else. Comrade Jiang Mi and Comrade Yang Jiahe are people who handle important matters, not like you, who spend all day nagging about trivial matters of love and affection.
Everyone: ...
Cui Huiying: "Why, you didn't dare to ask at the educated youth center, so you came to ask me. Am I easier to talk to than Nian'er and Zhaodi?"
Seeing the melons there, they wanted to eat them very much, but there was no place to eat them, so the members had no choice but to leave.
An old lady said, "It's not like they won't come back. If they don't come back today, they'll have to come back tomorrow. Then we'll know what big things these two young comrades have done."
Another young wife said, "Let's go."
Everyone was talking about what happened at the captain's house today. It was also weird. The thing was buried in the soil. It was buried by that bastard Huang Yongjin himself, but he couldn't find the place.
Logically speaking, such an important matter must be remembered clearly and not be careless at all, but he just couldn't find it.
It can be seen that people should not do bad things, otherwise, God will not tolerate it.
The next morning, the members went to Yang Jiahe's home and the educated youth center and confirmed that Jiang Mi Yang Jiahe had not returned all night.
The news spread throughout the brigade at rocket speed.
Cui Huiying, the team leader's wife, repeatedly forbade everyone to discuss this matter. Everyone reluctantly kept their mouths shut, but when they went to work on the ground, they kept their eyes on the road.
If you want to go back to the team, this road is definitely the only way.
After Jiang Mi and Jiang Miao arrived at the elementary school, Jiang Mi went in to look for Jiang Miao, and the teacher called Jiang Miao out.
As soon as Jiang Miao saw Jiang Mi, his eyes turned red and he called her "sister".
Jiang Mi squatted down and hugged her, "Miao Miao, I didn't come back last night and made you worry. I'm sorry, Miao Miao, I should have told you in advance."
Jiang Miao shook her head: "I know there must be a reason why my sister can't come back. I'm just worried about you."
Jiang Mi smiled: "If I don't come back for a day or two, you can eat and drink well and take care of yourself, and don't worry, I will definitely come back. Even if I want to leave here, I won't leave our baby here."
Jiang Miao is holding Jiang Mi, she is her sister's baby!
Jiang Mi took Jiang Miao to see the little wild boar and the little black dog in the basket.
This was the first time Jiang Miao had seen a dog since he was a child. In this day and age when people were hungry, it was really hard to see a dog.
If a stray dog appears, it will soon be caught and eaten.
Jiang Miao touched the little black dog's head and then its white tail. "Sister, what's the name of this dog? It's so small. Should we keep it?"
Jiang Mi: "This dog will be ours from now on. It doesn't have a name yet. Do you want to give it a name?"
Jiang Miao: "My sister will give me the name."
Jiang Mi took out the little black dog and gave it to Jiang Miao to hold. "Call him Xiaobai from now on."
Yang Jiahe: ...The completely black puppy is called Xiaobai? Oh, it's not completely black, its tail is white.
Jiang Miao praised: "It sounds really nice."
Jiang Mi took out a large piece of braised pork from her pocket, about one pound in weight. It was given to her by Xie Bing. She had given her four pieces in total so that she and Yang Jiahe could eat them if they were hungry on the road.
Jiang Mi handed it to Jiang Miao: "You can eat at noon with your classmates and teachers. I will go back to the team first and tell you what happened yesterday in the evening."
Jiang Miao put Xiaobai into the basket and nodded obediently while holding the braised pork. She looked at the wild boar and said, "This pig is too small. Let's raise it. How can we eat roast suckling pig?"
Jiang Mi laughed and said, "Then let's call this little wild boar roast suckling pig."
Jiang Miao walked into the classroom holding the braised pork.
Jiang Mi also carried the basket out of the campus. Before leaving, she gave the security guard a small piece of braised pork weighing half a pound.
After leaving school, I went straight back to Yangjiagou Brigade.
The one who came back earlier than the two was Chang Qian. She came on a bicycle. She didn't know the exact location of Yangjiagou Brigade, so she kept asking for directions along the way. It was almost nine o'clock when she arrived at Yangjiagou Brigade.
Seeing women working in the fields, she asked, "Comrade, is this the Yangjiagou Brigade?"
This person was He Zhaodi. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, looked at the stylishly dressed Chang Qian, nodded, and said, "Yes, who are you looking for?"
Chang Qian asked, "I'm looking for Jiang Mi. When did she come back? Who sent her back?"
He Zhaodi: "Oh, you are asking Jiang Mi, why are you asking her?" She looked up again, wiped her forehead, and twirled her fingers.
The meaning is obvious, money is needed.
Is this a question for nothing?
Chang Qian took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it over. He Zhaodi immediately stuffed the money into her pocket. "I want to tell you, but I don't know. Why don't you ask that sullen-faced girl? She's from the educated youth camp. She's sure she knows."
Chang Qian followed the direction He Zhaodi pointed, walked over, and asked Xu Nian'er again, and this time she had to pay.
Xu Nian'er smiled and took the fifty cents
She hadn't spent the money, and she had sent it all to her brother. She was penniless recently. She said casually: "Oh, that's easy to say. Someone sent Jiang Mi back. It should be a man."
Actually, it’s not nonsense. Yang Jiahe must send Jiang Mi back.
Chang Qian pressed on: "What man? How old is he? What was he wearing? When did he come back?"
Xu Nian'er rubbed her fingers and said, "I can't remember clearly."
Chang Qian gave him another fifty cents, and Xu Nian'er said, "I was kidding you, hahahaha, there's no one like Jiang Mi in our team, go ask someone else."
When Chang Qian heard this, she was immediately furious. She was angry that these two people had cheated her of her money, and she was also angry that Jiang Mi was not an educated youth from here.
"What? Jiang Mi isn't from the Yangjiagou Brigade?"
Fang Ming and Jiang Mi had lied to her together? What was their relationship? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She reached out to grab the dollar from Xu Nian'er's hand, "Since you don't know, just give it to me. I'd rather throw it in the river than give it to a liar like you."
How could there be any reason to return the money that was in Xu Nian'er's hands? She pried Chang Qian's hands open and put the money safely in her pocket.
Chang Qian: "You robbed my money. Is there any justice left? Where is your team leader? I want to talk to your team leader." She pulled Xu Nian'er's collar and pulled her out.
Xu Nian'er: "Be careful, don't step on the wheat." When they reached the road to the field, she helped Chang Qian call the team leader.
Chang Qian: ???
Xu Nian'er: "Just now I asked you to pull me, but I didn't dare to hit you because I was afraid that if I hit you, the wheat would be crushed, and then all my work points for the morning would be lost. Now, you are still pulling my collar. I really give you face." She knocked Chang Qian to the ground with a few punches.
I didn't dare to slap her in the face because Chang Qian was dressed unusually.
She is smarter now than before, and she knows how to beat people according to the situation.
Chang Qian: ???
The pain in my back felt even worse.
Xu Nian'er helped Chang Qian up again, "Don't pull my collar next time. I can't control my hands. Get up quickly."
Chang Qian: ???
After Zhou Dashan came over, he said to Xu Nian'er, "Why are you not working properly? What are you doing here?"
Chang Qian: "Are you the captain of the Yangjiagou team? I'm the wife of the director of the Public Security Bureau. These two girls in your team stole my money. One stole one dollar, and the other stole fifty cents." She pointed at Xu Nian'er and said, "She even beat me."
He Zhaodi: "Auntie, don't say you are the wife of the Public Security Bureau Director.
Even if you're the county magistrate's wife, you have to speak with integrity. This is the money you gave me. You asked me questions, and I took the money to answer them. We've settled the deal."
Xu Nian'er: "I gave money myself, so why should I take it back? As for hitting you, you pulled my collar and I couldn't fight back. How can you be so unreasonable?"
Chang Qian was furious, "But you didn't give me an answer."
Xu Nian'er: "You look like you're here to cause trouble for Jiang Mi. Why should I tell you?"
Chang Qian: "You, you, you just lied to me. You know Jiang Mi."
Xu Nian'er: "Why do you care whether I know Jiang Mi or not? What does it have to do with you?"
Chang Qian: "Captain, why don't you take care of them? Look at the quality of the educated youth here."
After the captain knew that Chang Qian was the wife of the director of the Public Security Bureau, he didn't dare to offend her. His voice was quite kind. He said, "If you have anything to say, please talk to her nicely. What do you want from Jiang Mi?"
Chang Qian: "When did Jiang Mi come back? Who sent her back?"
It’s okay to be kind, but it’s better not to say anything when it’s necessary.
The captain asked, "I wonder why the Public Security Bureau Director's wife is asking this?"
Chang Qian: "Don't worry about what I'm doing. I have something to talk to Jiang Mi about."
Zhang Chunmiao ran over and said, "Jiang Mi hasn't come back yet. Who knows where she went?"
He Zhaodi: "How come a good person has a mouth?"
Xu Nian'er: "You deserve a beating."
Zhang Chunmiao was angry.
Chang Qian stared at Zhang Chunmiao: "Jiang Mi didn't come back?"
Zhang Chunmiao said, "Yes, she hasn't come back for a whole day and night. I don't know what she's been doing. Girls nowadays really don't know how to behave. She's not even married yet, but she's already out fooling around with a guy."
He Zhaodi slapped Zhang Chunmiao on the head, not on the face. Zhang Chunmiao's head immediately started buzzing. "Captain, Zhang Chunmiao is ruining someone else's reputation."
The team leader's face turned cold. "Ziqiang's mother, hurry up and get to work. If you delay the work in the fields, you won't get any work points this afternoon."
Zhang Chunmiao: "What did I say wrong? Captain, you should take care of this matter. If something goes wrong, our team's reputation will be ruined."
Chang Qian grew angrier as she listened. Everyone in Yangjiagou Brigade knew about Jiang Mi and Fang Ming's affair? And she was the only one who kept it a secret?
Xu Nian'er: "You have a dirty mind, so everything you see is dirty. I can guarantee that Jiang Mi must be going out to do something big this time."
Only important matters can occupy Jiang Mi's entire day and night.
Chang Qian: "Jiang Mi seduced someone else's husband, and you're still speaking up for her? The female educated youth in your brigade are really..."
Xu Nian'er slapped Chang Qian in the face, this time it was a slap in the face. Chang Qian's words were really unpleasant, "Auntie, you look like a very glamorous person, how can you be so shameless when you say such things."
Chang Qian: ???
"You still dare to hit me?"
Xu Nian'er: "I didn't use much force because you are the wife of the director of the Public Security Bureau. If someone else said that, I would beat her teeth out." She stared at Zhang Chunmiao and threatened her that if she dared to say another word, she would beat her.
Zhang Chunmiao:!!!
Damn, this woman is unreasonable. Can't she just talk to him nicely? She just hits him. It's really cowardly.
Yang Jiahe came back on a bicycle carrying Jiang Mi. Seeing everyone gathered there, they also gathered over.
He Zhaodi turned around and saw Jiang Mi, then said happily: "Jiang Mi! You're back! These two people are ruining your reputation. Aunt Zhang said that you were out fooling around with men before you got married. This Public Security Bureau director said that you seduced other people's husbands. Nian'er and I are helping you deal with them."
Jiang Mi smiled: "Thank you for protecting me."
Everyone looked at Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe.
Then I found that Yang Jiahe was carrying a basket with a little black dog and a little wild boar in it, and the two were fighting.
Everyone's attention instantly turned to the little wild boar.
For farmers, the most important thing is food.
The team leader said: "Where did this little wild boar come from? It was only born a short time ago, right? Take good care of it, and by the time the New Year comes, it will have grown over a hundred pounds of flesh."
Everyone's attention was attracted by the wild boar. There were only four pigs in their team. After handing in the task pigs, they could only keep one at most. With so many people in the team, there was not enough to go around.
An aunt touched the little wild boar and liked it more and more. She pushed aside the puppy that was bullying the little wild boar and praised it: "This wild boar is well-grown and healthy. It must be able to eat well and grow meat and be easy to raise."
One of the sisters-in-law also said, "Look how clever this is, Jiang Mi, Jia He, where did this come from?"
Jiang Mi: "I found it in the mountains last night. How much meat can this little wild boar have? Even if we raise it until the New Year, it won't be slaughtered. It's all bones. There's not much meat left, and it's not enough for our brigade." She said with a smile, "The county will give our brigade some more pigs for the task, so we will definitely have no shortage of meat this year."
Everyone: ???
The team leader said, "Girl, why are you still talking nonsense? The mission pigs are all born on the Spring Equinox. This little piglet is really good. Take good care of it. It's so young. First, drink goat milk. Then get some coarse grains from the team headquarters. Mix them together and feed them until they are one month old."
Jiang Mi: "Uncle Zhou, can I really lie to you? It should be delivered in the next two days."
Seeing that everyone was unconvinced, Yang Jiahe said, "A pig farm was discovered on the mountain above the Xinghua Brigade. It was sealed off by the army last night. Now the 100 pigs on the mountain must be distributed to the various brigades as task pigs."
Everyone gasped, and everyone asked in unison, "What? Over a hundred pigs!"
"The pig farm on the mountain in Xinghua Brigade? Who runs it?"
“How did the troops seal it off?”
"Did you two go to the mountain to look for the pig farm last night?"
"How did you know there was a pig farm on the mountain?"
"How much of these pigs can we get?"
The team leader also asked: "Can our team really distribute task pigs? How many can we get?" He held up two fingers. Is this number possible?
Jiang Mi: "I don't know the exact number. It depends on the staff of the county party committee. But our brigade is definitely more than this number."
If she wasn't given ten pigs, she would go to Li Xian and Fang Ming to ask for them.
Everyone was so excited.
Accountant: "How big are the mission pigs? Are the piglets still half grown?"
Jiang Mi: “There aren’t many piglets.
The captain's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. He said, "You two were busy with the troops all night yesterday, and you must not have slept well. You don't need to work today, so get some rest. You've been busy for the brigade these past two days, so don't deduct your work points. It's all for the brigade's business."
No one has any objection to this.
An old lady asked in disbelief, "Mimi, Jiahe, please don't lie to us. Can you really give us the task pigs?"
As for the quantity, even if you get one or two, it will be a great joy.
The more pigs the brigade raised, the more they could keep for the New Year. Furthermore, if the pigs were well-raised and plentiful, the amount of grain they had to hand in would also be reduced.
The savings belong to everyone.
Cui Huifang also rushed over from the brigade headquarters. She was the director of the women's department and was generally not required to work unless during the double harvest season.
After hearing about this, she said: "Jiahe, Mimi, you two were busy with important things yesterday, but you made a lot of people in our team busy. There are really a lot of gossips.
I thought my son had abducted an educated youth and eloped. Bah, listen to what a human being says. Jiahe and Mimi are making a contribution to our county.
He Zhaodi: "Aunt Zhang Chunmiao, and the Public Security Bureau Director's wife, I'm talking about you! This gossip is really unpleasant to hear."
Zhang Chunmiao has become more shameless now and pretended not to hear it.
Chang Qian was so angry that her face turned blue.
Chang Qian knew that she should leave quickly at this moment. Since Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe were together all night, it must have nothing to do with Fang Ming.
But she wanted to know what had happened, what was going on with the pigpen on the mountain, what was going on with the soldiers, was Fang Ming really busy with work last night?
Jiang Shuyin clenched her fists. How could Jiang Mi have encountered another opportunity? Why didn't she encounter it? Fortunately, she didn't say anything yesterday, otherwise she would definitely be called out by He Zhaodi. She looked at Jiang Mi, who was surrounded by people, and her eyes turned green with jealousy.
Jiang Mi said, "Why don't we talk about it at noon? This can't be explained in just a few words. Don't delay everyone from going to work."
An old lady said, "Mimi, just tell me now. I'm going to get off work later and finish the work in the fields. If you don't finish your story now, I won't be able to concentrate on my work."
Others also said: "I'm going to finish work later this afternoon. I'm so nervous. I'm just a task pig."
The team leader said, "Let's talk first. It's too hot at noon, so we should leave work on time. In the afternoon, everyone should go back later and finish today's tasks."
There is nothing to hide about what happened yesterday. Xiao Kaiyang and the others have been captured, and the food and the pigs are being transported down the mountain. The Little Red Generals may be criticizing and denouncing Xiao Kaiyang and the others by now.
Word would spread quickly throughout the county.
Jiang Mi led everyone to find a large shade tree to stand under, "Since everyone wants to listen, then I will explain it to you in detail."
The story starts directly from when Cao Gaoyi's house was raided by the Little Red Generals. Japanese books, two small Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, gold jewelry and other things were found in his home. Their identities as traitors were confirmed, and they were dragged by the Little Red Generals to be paraded through the streets for fighting. They will be sent to the Public Security Bureau later.
Hiding the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Japanese books was not just an ordinary crime of the "Four Olds", it was a capital crime punishable by being shot.
Everyone was delighted to hear this, especially the captain's family, who breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Huiying said, "When they get shot, they'll have to take a day off. Let's go watch them get shot. Then I'll buy two strings of firecrackers and send them off."
"This damn thing dared to frame our team.
We have to go and see.”
"And then, after seeing all this, you went to the mountain of the Xinghua Brigade?"
Jiang Mi continued to talk, for example, they picked up a piglet, accidentally discovered bloodstains, and found the pig farm.
It is implied that the two of them cannot come back right away. If they come back, will there still be so many task pigs?
"I know that if I don't come back at night, my little sister will be very worried. People with bad intentions will also misunderstand me and spread rumors about me, tarnishing my reputation. But Jiahe and I can't come back either. I have to go and see if there's anything I can do to help. Compared to these, my reputation is not important."
He Zhaodi: "Jiang Mi, you are so selfless and great. You have sacrificed so much for the county and our brigade."
Xu Nian'er: "We all understand! Hate those idiots who tarnished your reputation. It would be best if they don't assign quests to pigs anymore."
Several people said, "That's right." They also praised Jiang Mi for being brave, selfless, great, kind, etc.
At the same time, they mocked those who had said bad things about Jiang Mi before.
An old lady said, "Some wives of officials are so petty that they'd rather just tie their husbands to their belts and not let them go out to work. Mimi has even been branded as a dishonest person for the sake of the county."
Finding so many pigs is a great contribution.
How many brigades are needed to raise more than a hundred pigs?
Chang Qian was so ridiculed that she couldn't even raise her head. She didn't leave and continued to listen.
Jiang Mi then continued to say that the pig farm was too big and there were too many people inside, so they did not dare to risk breaking in. They then went down the mountain to seek support from the troops, and only then did they capture more than 20 people and six big wolfhounds from Xiaojiazhai.
Her little black dog named Xiaobai was given to her by the army.
When it was dawn, she and Yang Jiahe hurried back.
The members were all talking about the affairs of Xiaojiazhai. When they learned that the boss of Xiaojiazhai was Xiao Kaiyang, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, the whole team was silent for a moment.
Wow, within two days, Jiang Mi killed the director and deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee.
In other words, no one from the Revolutionary Committee would bully their team anymore.
The old ladies looked at Jiang Mi with eyes that were even more affectionate than looking at their own grandchildren. They took Jiang Mi's hand and said, "My dear girl, go back and have a rest. You have been very tired these past two days. Climbing a mountain is not an easy job. Your legs must be sore."
"Yes, but you've worked hard. Don't worry about other things. Your reputation is better than anyone else's. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, I will...
Take a bucket of urine and pour it on their door."
"We will take care of those filthy things."
The team leader smiled and said, "You two are tired. Go back and have a good rest." Then he asked Jiang Mi, "Should we clean up the pigpen in advance? Should we cut more grass for the pigs? What if the pigs come and have no place to live or no food? That would be a problem."
Jiang Mi said: "Uncle Zhou is really thoughtful. Let's do as he says."
There will definitely be pigs, and they will be delivered tomorrow at the latest.
Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe left directly, pretending they didn't see Chang Qian. For Fang Ming's sake, Jiang Mi didn't bother to deal with her this time. She also hoped that she could use her brains and stop making trouble.
Next time, she won't let her off like this.
Jiang Mi was quite puzzled by Chang Qian's attitude, but it didn't matter.
Everyone was very happy thinking about the task pig. First, they criticized Zhou Ziqiang and Yang Dagang's family, saying that they were stingy, had dirty minds, and thought badly of others.
If you do this again in the future, the task pig will not be eaten.
Zhou Ziqiang: "If she has pigs, does that mean she has pigs? What if she is lying to us?"
An aunt slapped him and said, "If you are not smart, go farm and talk less in the future." Sometimes it feels good to just hit people.
Next was Chang Qian. She wanted to push her bicycle away, but it was too late. Her way was blocked by a group of people.
Cui Huifang said, "Comrade, you are also the wife of a cadre, but your ideological awareness is even worse than that of a farmer digging for food in the soil. This time, we can't do anything to you, but you should not come to our team in the future. If you dare to slander the reputation of our team girls again, we will go to the county women's federation to talk to them. Let's see if you, the wife of a cadre, will be criticized."
Chang Qian's face turned pale. "I misunderstood. I listened to Comrade Chun Miao and thought she was talking about Jiang Mi and my husband."
Xu Nian'er: "Bah! Your husband is already so old, and you still think like that? It's not shameful to say it out loud. You'd better not explain it. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Don't say it was someone else's words that influenced you. You have a dirty mind, so you see everything as dirty."
The others looked disdainful.
Chang Qian bit her tongue. The pain made her more rational. She was forced to say that she was wrong and would not slander Jiang Mi again. Only then was she relieved.
She was riding her bike, her mind in a mess. How could Jiang Mi be so powerful?
According to these members, Cao Gaoyi and Xiao Kaiyang were both overthrown by Jiang Mi, who was in charge of the Revolutionary Committee.
In the county, everyone is flattering and fawning over others.
What if Jiang Mi holds a grudge against her and takes revenge on her? Then she thought, how much trouble she has suffered this time because of Jiang Mi.
Not long after I rode my bicycle out of Yangjiagou Brigade, I saw Fang Chaorong coming to me on a bicycle.
When he saw Chang Qian, he braked and stopped, "Mom, have you gone to find Jiang Mi?"
He was sweating profusely. He had searched several places before finally finding this place. He couldn't believe his mother would come to Yangjiagou Brigade.
Chang Qian braked distraughtly, called out to Chao Rong, and said blankly, "Last night, Jiang Mi led your father to the pig farm on the mountain and captured Xiao Kaiyang there. She was also involved in Cao Gaoyi's case. It was she who said Cao Gaoyi was a traitor. How did she do it? In just one day and one night, she changed the situation in the Revolutionary Committee."
Fang Chaorong already knew about this. He went to the Public Security Bureau first, met Fang Ming, and learned the whole story. He said, "Mom, this is a good thing. Without Cao Gaoyi and Xiao Kaiyang, countless families in our county feel at ease, and our family is safe too. My dad really was delayed at work yesterday, so you can rest assured." After saying this, he saw Chang Qian still had a sad face: "Why are you so distraught? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yes, their family was safe, but why didn't Chang Qian feel happy? "She was just a poor little girl who went to the countryside. She didn't even have a job in the city. Even her ticket back to the city was booked by your father."
Fang Chaorong: "Mom, Jiang Mi is the godmother of Mr. Qin's grandson. If she wants to stay in the city, let alone a job in Bincheng, even a job in Beijing, Mr. Qin can help her find one. Dad booked a ticket for Jiang Mi to return to the city, and Jiang Mi accepted it because she didn't treat Dad as an outsider. Jiang Mi is a very capable girl. She is indeed young now, but she has a long way to go in the future. Even if we don't mention Mr. Qin, there is no harm in our relationship with her. On the contrary, because of her, Dad made a great contribution this time, solved this important case, and also helped our family get out of the crisis."
Chang Qian raised her voice: "Jiang Mi is just an outsider! Why do you like her so much?"
Fang Chaorong stroked his forehead. Why couldn't he explain it clearly? "Mom, I don't understand why you hate Jiang Mi so much. You don't have to like her. Just have less contact with her in the future. I just want to ask you, what is your purpose in coming to see Jiang Mi this time? Are you here to see Jiang Mi or my dad?"
Chang Qian: "Your father hasn't been home for a whole day and night, what's wrong with me coming to see him?"
Fang Chaorong was so angry that he had nothing to say, but the woman in front of him was his mother. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mom, do you think my dad is so bad? Also, do you know that your behavior not only hurts Jiang Mi's...
It damaged my father's reputation."
Chang Qian: "Fang Chaorong, I'm your mother, can't you think about me? I didn't sleep well last night. What if your father and that little bitch..."
Fang Chaorong growled, "Mom, you made a scene, didn't you?"
Chang Qian: "What can I do? She's so successful now. She got the task pigs for the brigade. They're just a few pigs, right? Everyone is praising her. Rural people are so narrow-minded."
This is what happened, but someone slapped me in the face.
Fang Chaorong: "Mom, we're from the countryside too. Our grandparents are all from the countryside. You can't forget your roots." He was particularly tired at the moment. "Jiang Mi is a very clear-headed person. You've made such a fuss. She won't contact our family easily in the future. Don't worry, even if she went to the police station, it wasn't because of my dad, but simply to find the police station."
He had never met Jiang Mi, but from Fang Ming's description, he knew that she was a very smart and insightful girl.
Chang Qian: "You are not allowed to see her either. I will not let her be my daughter-in-law."
Fang Chaorong was heartbroken. "Mom, why are you being so unreasonable? I haven't even met Jiang Mi. Let's stop talking about it. You should think about how to explain it to my dad." He added, "You'd better not mess with Jiang Mi again. This time, she ignored you because of my dad's face. If you do this again, she might deal with you too."
Chang Qian: "She dares!"
Fang Chaorong: I’m tired. Never mind. Let dad talk.
The two men were riding their bicycles towards the county. When they were halfway there, they saw a military truck coming towards them. After the truck passed, they saw that the truck was pulling a load of pigs, and the pigs were grunting.
Chang Qian looked at the truckload of pigs—there must be about 10 or 20! How could it be that the Yangjiagou Brigade had to deliver them so soon? Could it be that Fang Ming had deliberately ordered this?
Chang Qian's mood became even worse. She could almost imagine Jiang Mi's position in the team in the days to come.
Another person who is as upset as Chang Qian is Jiang Shuyin. Now all she hears are people praising Jiang Mi.
"Mimi is such a smart kid. Look how well she handled this. Yesterday, she was worried about the county getting into trouble with her, but now she doesn't have to worry anymore."
"Mimi is such a lucky kid. She's only been raising pigs for a few days, and she's already sent more pigs to our brigade. Wow, they're the perfect couple for our brigade."
"No, she looks like a lucky girl.
How adorable she is.”
It's like ten thousand flies are buzzing around my ears
She flew back and forth, wishing she could cover these people's mouths, but she couldn't. She even had to nod along to show that the compliments were correct.
Her image outside cannot be ruined.
Damn it, this wicked God! Her miserable strategy to capture the male protagonist had finally started to improve, but because of what happened at the captain's house yesterday, it was almost ruined. Yesterday, Zhou Huailin had reminded her not to talk to herself all the time and not to always do good things with bad intentions. She explained for a long time and finally saved some of it.
Jiang Mi is so comfortable. She just goes out to play and all kinds of opportunities come to her. She suddenly becomes the lucky girl in the team. Who won’t say hello to Jiang Mi in the future?
Jiang Shuyin cursed in her heart, hoping the county wouldn't send pigs to their brigade. Otherwise, everyone in the brigade would blame Jiang Mi.
Cui Huiying and Cui Huifang also gathered together to talk, mainly talking about Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi.
Cui Huiying: "This girl is really lucky. I think it was because of Mimi that we didn't find the broken box yesterday. Now that I think about it, the box was right under Mimi's feet. It's only been a day, and not only did we get rid of the bad guys from the Revolutionary Committee, but we also brought the mission pig to our team."
Cui Huifang agreed. "Yes, look what a coincidence it was yesterday. I was so scared. I just went to the mountain and found Xiao Kaiyang's lair."
Cui Huiying said: "Look at Jiahe riding a bicycle with Jiang Mi, these two are such a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, oh, I'm just waiting to eat the wedding steamed buns."
Cui Huifang also whispered, "I've never seen Jiahe so attentive to a girl. He even helped carry the basket. When Mimi was riding a bicycle, he looked back to make sure she was doing well. Another time, Jiahe took me to the county, and before I even got on, the bicycle suddenly ran away."
As the two were talking, the team leader assigned five people to clean up the pigpen. In fact, it was the old pigpen. However, the number of pigs in their team became fewer and fewer, and finally there were only four left, so the other pigpen was abandoned.
There are a lot of things piled up in there now, and they need to be cleaned out.
Before the captain and his men left, they saw military trucks coming from a distance. They hurried over to take a look. When they saw it, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. Pigs, a truck full of pigs.
The members ran over again and tiptoed to look inside.
The soldier driving the truck leaned out and said, "Fellow countryman, are we in the Yangjiagou Brigade? Is Captain Zhou Dashan here?"
Zhou Dashan stepped forward quickly, rubbing his hands and smiling: "Comrade, I am Zhou Dashan, and this is the Yangjiagou Brigade."
The soldier opened the car door and got out, and another county official also came out.
After getting off the bus, the soldier said, "We're here on behalf of the county to deliver a mission pig to the Yangjiagou Brigade. There are fifteen of them in total. Captain, I'll drive the car in a little further so we can collect the mission pigs."
Another staff member said, "Have Comrade Jiang Mi and Comrade Yang Jiahe returned? You two have been so busy these past two days."
The meaning is very clear. These task pigs were sent to the Yangjiagou Brigade because of Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe.
Zhou Dashan quickly said, "Mimi and Jiahe just came back and have only been in the team for a short time. I'll have someone call them out right away."
The official smiled and said, "No need. The two comrades are tired. Let them have a good rest. Secretary Li said that when Comrade Jiang Mi and Comrade Yang Jiahe come to the county one day, they should stop by the county party committee compound and thank them properly."
Zhou Dashan said, "Wait a little while, I'll go talk to Mimi and Jiahe."
The car drove slowly towards the village entrance, and the members followed behind. This time Zhou Dashan did not stop them. They would clean up the pigpen together first, and they still had to drive the pigs away. More people would make the work faster.
There is not much work to do in the fields now. It is mainly the wheat filling period. It rained a while ago and there is enough water. Now the main work is fertilizing and weeding. Farm work is not that urgent.
Zhang Chunmiao counted the pigs on the cart twice. "Sixteen in total! How could the PLA have made a mistake? These pigs are really big, even heavier than the ones in our brigade. By the New Year, they'll all weigh 200 kilograms. Hey, there's a really fat pig in there. It must be over 200 kilograms, ready to be slaughtered."
Cui Huifang: "No wonder Zhao Di and Nian'er asked why you had a mouth. If you can't speak, then just shut up. If you say fifteen heads, then fifteen heads."
Zhang Chunmiao: "Can't you count?"
A few smart people also accused Zhang Chunmiao, "Shut up right now! If you say anything more, I'll slap you in the face."
Zhang Chunmiao: "How can you bully others like this? What did I say wrong?"
Someone close to Zhang Chunmiao quickly pulled her aside and whispered to her, "Are you crazy? We were given fifteen pigs, so that's fifteen. The extra one is for our team to eat. Why did you have to tell me that? Are you trying to get the People's Liberation Army to take them back?"
Zhang Chunmiao's eyes widened. "Let us eat it? Give our team a pig that can be slaughtered for free?"
The woman said, "How can this be given away for free? This is a reward for Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe. We are lucky to have benefited from it! I don't know when our team will be able to eat this pig. I guess we have to wait until the double harvest."
When the truck arrived at the village entrance, it stopped moving forward because the road leading to the pigpen was narrow.
The soldier driving the car opened the compartment, placed a wooden ladder on the car, and began to unload the pigs.
This is a strenuous job. The strong laborers in the team will do the unloading, with two people at the top and two people at the bottom carrying the pigs directly to the pigpen.
The accountant has led a group of people to clean up the pigsty. The pigs are carried to the grass outside the pigsty and tied with ropes. Someone is watching outside and they will keep them like this for the time being. After the pigsty is cleaned up, they will be sent back to the pigsty.
The sixteen pigs were quickly unloaded from the truck. At the very back of the truck were about twenty bags. The soldier said, "These are oil cakes. Keep them for the pigs."
Oil residue cake is a good thing. The residue after oil extraction is pressed into cake shape, which helps pigs grow meat after eating it.
But these are not easy to get and their team cannot get them.
The team leader was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. After more than 20 bags were unloaded, he asked someone to clean the truck and shovel the pig manure and urine into the frame.
Jiang Shuyin: It would be fine if we just gave away pigs and pork, but we also gave away pig feed.
The young soldier said, "Don't clean it up, fellow. We will clean it up ourselves and send it to other brigades later."
The team leader said, "It's just a matter of convenience." He then asked how other teams distributed the pigs.
The county party committee official said, "Basically, each brigade gets four to six pigs."
The team leader felt even happier after hearing this. He cleaned the truck very well and rinsed it twice with water. Before leaving, Cui Huifang led a few people and brought two baskets of duck pears. These were all grown in the team headquarters and were shared by everyone in previous years.
The captain said, "This is what we picked up from the tree at our brigade headquarters. You must have worked hard to bring it back to Tiantianzui."
The soldier and the officer were determined not to accept Cui Huifang's offer. They had two baskets of pears placed on the cart. She said, "These have been washed and can be eaten directly. Comrades, you have all worked hard. We know you are busy, so we won't keep you for dinner. These pears are a token of our appreciation."
It’s crispy, sweet, and thirst-quenching.”
After the truck left, the team leader led his men to clean up the pigpen. Looking at the sixteen pigs, everyone was very enthusiastic. Someone asked, "Team leader, is this extra pig ours?"
The team leader said: "What do you mean by one extra pig? There are only fifteen pigs." He added: "In another half month, it will be time for the double harvest. We are tired from work, so we need to eat more to replenish our bodies."
This kind of food that everyone eats is not talked about by anyone, and even if it is talked about, no one would admit it.
The team leader said: "Don't be lazy, everyone, clean up the things that the pig lives in before work ends at noon."!
