Chapter 75
The members all praised Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi. If they did well in the city, their team would benefit greatly. Their team would receive preferential treatment in major events such as paying public grain, completing pig tasks, and being selected as an outstanding team. If other teams wanted to bully them, they would have to think carefully.
If there is any problem at home, someone from the brigade can have a say.
This is a great thing.
Zhang Chunmiao's nose was crooked with jealousy. It would be great if her son and daughter-in-law could work in the county. How could Jiang Mi be so lucky?
In the evening, Cui Huifang caught the fattest hen in the chicken coop and killed it. She then prepared a table full of delicious dishes to celebrate this happy event.
A large chicken drumstick was left uncut and placed in Jiang Mi's bowl. Cui Huifang said, "Mi Mi, you are truly our family's lucky star."
After dinner, Yang Jiahe sent Jiang Mi home. On the way, Jiang Mi asked: "Where do you want to go?" Yang Jiahe: "I can still choose. It's good enough if any place accepts me."
Jiang Mi stood on tiptoe and pinched Yang Jiahe's face: "Wherever you want to go, you can definitely go there. I will take you to study together! There is still a month and a half, there is still time.
Yang Jiahe smiled: "Okay, you teach me, then I will work hard to pass the municipal committee exam, what about you?"
Jiang Mi: "I'm applying to the Public Security Bureau."
She has space and small water droplets, which can protect herself and others. She should use such golden fingers to do more meaningful things. Yang Jiahe reached out and hugged her, "Then please ask Teacher Jiang to teach me well." As soon as Jiang Mi arrived at the educated youth site, she was surrounded by Chen Xi and others, congratulating her on being able to return to the city.
Although there is an exam, everyone thinks Jiang Mi will definitely pass.
The next day, the people at the educated youth site got up very early, had a simple breakfast, and walked towards the county together, preparing to go to the old slaughterhouse to watch the people from the Xinghua Brigade and Xiaojiazhai being shot.
Jiang Miao, Hu Zi, and a few other kids wanted to go too, but they had to go to school. The adults told them to go and not join the fun at the slaughterhouse.
Children should not join in such fun.
Yang Jiahe rode a bicycle with Jiang Mi on his head. When they arrived, they hid the bicycle under a tree and then walked towards the slaughterhouse. They arrived quite early, but there were already many people gathered outside the old slaughterhouse. The soldiers had cordoned off the central area and would not let the people pass.
The prisoner hasn't been brought in yet.
Jiang Mi wanted to find a taller tree to climb up to see what was happening, but when she got to the tree, she saw that it was also full of people and there was no good spot.
Jiang Mi envied Yang Jiahe's height, even though
You can see it even if you stand at the back! She pulled Yang Jiahe and asked him to lift her up so that she could see what was in front.
Yang Jiahe lifted her up and showed her that there were no prisoners there and there was nothing in the fenced area in the front.
At half past eleven, three or four military trucks drove over from a distance. The soldiers jumped off the trucks first, and then jumped off with the prisoners.
The leader, Xiao Kaiyang, had a large sign hanging around his neck with "Xiao Kaiyang" written in red pen. Next to it was a string of small characters, which were his crimes. Because he had committed too many crimes, the characters were too small to be seen clearly.
Behind them was a group of people from Xiaojiazhai, all of them wearing signs. They were all hunched over and trembling. No matter how powerful they were before, they were about to be shot and were now extremely scared.
A few of the more timid ones were so frightened that they became incontinent and their legs were so weak that they could not walk. They were carried by the soldiers into a large wasteland behind the slaughterhouse.
These people knelt on the ground, waiting to be shot.
Waiting for death is the most painful and terrifying time. As long as you can live, no one wants to die.
They wept bitterly and confessed, wanting to live, but it was too late.
Just then, a string of firecrackers rang out, followed by several more strings of firecrackers, celebrating that these bullies were about to set off.
Jiang Mi was held up by Yang Jiahe and could see very clearly that a row of bullies were kneeling on the ground. They were as arrogant as before, but now they were as timid as before. Even Xiao Kaiyang was afraid and hateful at this moment.
At 12:45, after a whistle sounded and before a series of gunshots rang out, Yang Jiahe let Jiang Mi down.
The prisoners kneeling in the slaughterhouse had their heads exploded, blood gushing out of their brains as they fell to the ground, staining the grass red. This was followed by a chorus of wails and screams, as well as a series of vomiting sounds.
Some were relatives who had been shot, others were terrified civilians. Seeing such a bloody scene would haunt them for days. Many more were cheering and jumping for joy, saying that evildoers would be punished, and at this moment, they just wanted to sing a song! The soldiers checked to see if the prisoners were dead. If they were not dead, they would shoot them again.
The person is already dead, and the family can claim the body. If no one claims it, the military will take the body away for cremation, and that's what happens next.
Everyone left one after another, and Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi went to push the bicycles. There were too many people at this time, so they couldn't ride the bicycles. They could only push the bicycles with the crowd. Only when they reached a place with fewer people did Yang Jiahe get on the bicycle.
The two did not return to the brigade, but went directly to the county.
First, go get the photos I took a few days ago.
They took about ten photos in total, all of which were photos of the two of them. Jiang Mi flipped through them one by one. Yang Jiahe was wearing a white shirt and she was wearing a lilac ruffled long skirt. Both of them were smiling very brightly and looked very beautiful.
Then they went to the post office. Jiang Mi put the photos into envelopes one by one, sealed the envelopes, and bought some stamps to put on them. She bought a lot of stamps, all the new ones.
Buy the set!
She didn't know those stamps would bring her a promotion in the future, but every time she saw new stamps when she mailed a letter, she would buy them all. If she bought them all, she would definitely get the right ones.
Occasionally, when I come across something particularly unique, I might buy a few sets directly.
Then the prepared things were sent out one by one.
The contents of each bag are similar: a pound of mushrooms and black fungus, a pound of dried dates, a pound of walnuts, and most importantly, medicinal wine packed in a tin box.
I gave my family more medicinal wine, packed in two tin boxes.
Yang Jiahe said: Would your uncle and aunt be unwilling for you to marry into the countryside?
Jiang Mixiao: You are afraid of this
Yang Jiahe nodded: Of course I am afraid.
Jiang Mi stood on tiptoe and touched Yang Jiahe's hair: "You are so beautiful, my parents will definitely like you. I said a lot of good things about you in the letter.
After sending out the things and letters, Jiang Mi sent another telegram, briefly telling her family about her engagement and telling them not to rush over, as she would return home before her second sister got married.
She sent the telegram because she was worried that the letter would be too slow to arrive. She still hoped that her family would know about it before she got engaged.
The postman was very surprised to see Jiang Mi sent so many letters and so many things at once. After seeing Jiang Mi's name, the postman said: "You are Jiang Mi. Here is your package. Do you want to pick it up today or wait for it to be delivered to the brigade in a few days?"
Everyone at the post office knew Jiang Mi. There were a lot of things delivered to the post office every day, but it was definitely not as much as what was sent to Jiang Mi. Every time, the mail came from many places at once.
Jiang Mi smiled: Uncle, no need to bother sending it over. We will come and pick it up when we return to the team in the afternoon.
The postman said, "Okay."
Jiang Mi saw that Yang Jiahe was eating with great relish, and praised him for his good mental quality.
Yang Jiahe: "I didn't look carefully either."
The people at the table next to them looked very unhappy, and all they ate were vegetarian dishes. When they saw Jiang Mi and the other person eating rice with braised pork, one of them, who was wearing a hat, couldn't help but cover his mouth and vomit.
Jiang Mi took a bite of the braised pork and whispered to Yang Jiahe: "I haven't eaten pig brains or tofu pudding, what can I associate with this braised pork?"
After dinner, the two went to see a movie. The movies of that era were all model operas and anti-Japanese war dramas, and there were no romances. However, the environment of the cinema was different. It was pitch black, which was especially suitable for holding hands, hugging waists, kissing lips, and secretly having a love affair.
Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi sat in the last row, where there were fewer people. In this day and age, everyone liked to sit in the front.
When the movie started, two young men in their teens moved over from the front and sat next to Yang Jiahe. They held a bottle of ice soda in their hands and glanced at Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi from time to time.
Yang Jiahe: ..
One of the young men nudged Yang Jiahe and asked, "Why are you sitting so far back? Is it comfortable to watch the movie here?"
Another young man wearing a hat said: "You two ran to the back, what do you want to do?" He chuckled twice and said, "It's okay for us to sit next to each other.
The young man wearing a hat is the one who vomited after eating vegetables in a state-owned restaurant.
These two were just bored out of their minds, deliberately getting in front of the couple. Yang Jiahe said, "I'm afraid of blood, so I like to sit a little further back." The young man in the hat paused, "What's so scary about movies?"
Yang Jiahe: "The moment the bullet passed through the brain, bringing out brain matter and blood, was terrifying."
Both young men's faces turned green, and the young man in the hat started vomiting again.
Jiang Mi: "Drink some soda quickly to calm it down, don't spit it out." I took another walnut and asked, "Brother Jiahe, please help me crush the walnut. I want to eat the walnut kernel."
Yang Jiahe took the walnut, crushed it, and handed the kernel to Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi said, "Comrade, are you two eating walnuts? Walnuts are similar to the brain and are good for the brain."
Two young men:!!!
"Ugh!"
Young man in hat: "You did it on purpose!"
Jiang Mi: I deliberately let you sit next to us
Soon, the movie started. It was an anti-Japanese war movie with all kinds of bullets flying. Yang Jiahe described it from time to time. The two young men simply stopped watching the movie and stared at Yang Jiahe, grinding their teeth:
#34;What you said is really interesting.
Yang Jiahe: "Thank you for the compliment." He took Jiang Mi's hand and continued watching the movie.
After watching the whole movie, Yang Jiahe also knew that the two men were from the city and came to watch the execution. In order to overcome his fear, he watched
An anti-Japanese war film.
After the movie ended, Yang Jiahe opened a few more walnuts and asked Jiang Mi if she wanted to eat them.
Jiang Mi leaned over to Yang Jiahe and gave him a kiss, saying, "Thank you, Brother Jiahe." The two of them were serious about dating, and sitting in the back was a romantic moment.
The two young men:!!!
Yang Jiahe and Jiang Mi watched a movie and then went to the post office to pick up some stuff. They had five large bags of stuff, which were hung behind the car seat. Yang Jiahe put a cushion on the front shoulder, and this time Jiang Mi sat in the front.
After returning home, the people in the team saw that Jiang Mi brought back so many things and they actually felt used to it. Jiang Mi's family really doted on her.
Yang Jiahe was truly lucky to have married such a wonderful wife. After Jiang Mi arrived at the educated youth camp, she read the letter first.
The first was a letter from home. It was in my eldest sister's handwriting. She explained the family situation and that everyone was doing well.
She also said that she is now working at the bus station. It was a complicated journey. At the beginning, there was news that she was a bad element who avoided working in the countryside, and her reputation was damaged. Comrades from the educated youth point came to ask about her recovery and asked her to go to the countryside to continue working as soon as possible. She almost couldn't get the job. At this time, she received awards, certificates and bonuses from the county.
She went from being a bad element who shirked work to a brave and strong comrade. She also entered the bus station smoothly. Her colleagues were all very kind and took good care of her, which made Jiang Mi feel at ease.
They also asked when Jiang Mi could go home. Her eldest brother would also be back on October 1st, and they hoped that the family could be reunited. The others were basically concerned about Jiang Mi and hoped that she could return to the city as soon as possible.
Jiang Mi checked the food again, took out some to share with everyone, and put the rest into the box. Yang Jiahe began to share the sheep-herding duties. Xiao Shuanzi was too young to do much more than assist. As for the pig farm duties, they were decided by drawing lots, and Ding Ankang was lucky enough to get the job. Jiang Mi and Yang Jiahe began to review. Since they had an exam coming up, they had to get first place.
The original owner had just graduated from high school and remembered the high school knowledge quite clearly. Jiang Mi went through the textbook and acted as a serious and responsible teacher, but she soon discovered that sometimes when she encountered questions that she couldn't solve, Yang Jiahe could easily teach her.
And, he knows everything!!!
Jiang Mi: "
Didn’t you fail high school?”
Yang Jiahe: "I just didn't pass the exam, not that I can't do it."
Jiang Mi: ???
