It's okay, it's okay...
If Xie Tingyu didn't look so fierce when he said this, it might still be convincing. He couldn't even coax people, and it was particularly awkward and awkward. Ye Qingshui could feel the stiffness of his elbows in his arms, which made people feel uncomfortable. His skin was emitting hot steam, his breathing was hot and rapid, and his low panting made people feel that, well, he was quite manly.
Ye Qingshui's heart skipped a beat and he quickly moved away and put on a mask.
Then, Shen Weimin, Zhang Yuanchao, and Liu Yiliang, who rushed to support, arrived on their bicycles, panting. However, they were ten minutes late, and the smoke of the battlefield had already dissipated. Not only that, but even the exhaust gas was almost gone. They only saw their cold Brother Yu from a distance...
Coaxing the country girl.
The expressions of the people who saw this scene were all colorful and varied, it was extremely exciting.
"Brother Yu is over there." said the monkey.
"It looks like nothing's wrong." Shen Weimin said.
No, how could nothing happen! Monkey shouted in his heart, and Shen Weimin also had a complicated expression.
Only Liu Yiliang was watching with a smile, showing a relieved smile of a younger brother. He patted the dirt on his hands nervously and said, "Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise some people would regret it. Hey - what's wrong with you? Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
The three of them then stepped forward.
Xie Tingyu's mood has calmed down.
He asked Ye Qingshui calmly: "What did they do to you?"
Didn't I check carefully and see that not a single hair was lost? Why is he so angry? The gangster who was knocked to the ground was in great pain and had no words to say.
Ye Qingshui heard this and recalled what had just happened. She stammered, "They wouldn't let me leave, they wanted protection money, and they even ripped off my mask."
Ye Qingshui was at a loss for words. She said with disdain, "This rascal asked me to kiss him and date him. He wouldn't let me go if I didn't agree..."
She omitted a few words that were too disgusting.
The body on the ground, which had been beaten almost into a puddle of mud and was pretending to be dead, began to tremble.
"Oh, really?"
The monkey was quite calm a second ago, but at this moment his face was full of murderous intent. He walked over and slapped him twice:
"Remember today, if you touch me again I will kill you—"
Xie Tingyu said calmly, "What do you mean by never touching him again? Send him to the police station today and punish him for being a hooligan, right, Shuiya?"
The eight hooligans on the ground begged for mercy, "No, no, we didn't hurt her."
So everyone's eyes were cast on Ye Qingshui, the "victim".
She looked distressed as she bent over and picked up the bones one by one. When she had almost finished, she looked around to see if there were any that she had missed. Xie Tingyu smiled when he saw her regretful expression.
Food is really more important than anything else.
When Shen Weimin and Zhang Yuanchao met, they were both speechless. That was an understanding that the country folk could not understand any more. Ye Qingshui finished picking up the bones and nodded, "I was just about to say this."
She looked at the gangsters dangerously and said with a smile, "Record it for later use in case they come back to retaliate against me. If anything happens to me, I will definitely blame you."
The gangsters: “…”
Xie Tingyu made the final decision, "Send it."
…
By the time I finished recording my statement at the police station, the sun had already set. The stars and the moon were sparse, and the mountain village was pitch black.
Xie Tingyu asked Zhang Yuanchao to borrow two flashlights, one for Shen Weimin and one for Ye Qingshui. Ye Qingshui jumped onto the bike with the flashlight in hand, but before the bike had taken a few steps, Shen Weimin sneered.
He said, "You're using Brother Yu's bike pretty well, right?"
"Come down."
Ye Qingshui didn't want to ride a bicycle with Xie Tingyu. She waved her hand and said, "Aren't you just afraid that I'll take advantage of Brother Yu? This is perfect."
She smiled and said, "I'm leaving first. Please give Brother Yu a ride."
When Xie Tingyu hugged her to comfort her, the emotions in the eyes of these two people were that they wanted to pull Xie Tingyu over, and looked at her like a hooligan who took advantage of a young wife. But seriously, Xie Tingyu's hug was not considered a hug. He just circled his arms, went around her back and patted her shoulders. Ye Qingshui was really innocent.
Zhang Yuanchao thought it made sense. He would never let this village girl touch his pure and innocent brother Yu again. He patted the back seat of the car and said, "Come on, brother, I'll give you a ride."
Xie Tingyu quickly caught up with the girl, holding the back seat of the car with one hand, and when the car was about to tilt, he quickly held the front of the car with his other hand.
He said to Ye Qingshui casually: "It's my bike, let me ride it."
Xie Tingyu's idea was very simple. He thought: something like that just happened, and now it's dark. It would be unfair to let the little girl ride back alone.
Ye Qingshui said neatly: "Let me ride the bike. Don't be so stingy. There are old people at home waiting for dinner. I have to go back quickly. I will go home early to cook, and you can eat earlier. How about sweet potato rice tonight?"
"It's okay, I ride very fast." Xie Tingyu said quickly
After all, this was not her own car. Under the pressure of the owner, Ye Qingshui could not hold on no matter how thick-skinned she was. She sat neatly in the back seat.
The three men behind couldn't help but complain.
The monkey sighed, "What's wrong with Brother Yu?"
Liu Yiliang had heard them dislike Ye Qingshui several times today, and he couldn't help but retort: "What's wrong with my sister-in-law? I think she's very good. You can't marry a girl like her even if you search with a lantern."
Shen Weimin groaned, "Brother Yu is just responsible and afraid that Shui Ya will get into trouble again. Monkey, don't worry so much."
Listening to what was said, I still feel that Ye Qingshui and Xie Tingyu are not a good match.
Liu Yiliang couldn't help but said, "Don't you think my sister-in-law is a nice person and pretty?"
Shen Weimin and Monkey looked at Liu Yiliang with indescribable expressions. This was the second time they had heard Liu Yiliang's distorted aesthetics today.
Liu Yiliang was depressed for a while, then his eyes lit up and he understood immediately, "You haven't really looked at your sister-in-law carefully, right?"
The monkey laughed and said, "How could I not have seen it? Do you think I went to the wedding without my glasses?"
Liu Yiliang understood immediately, but he suppressed his words. He thought: Oh, one day I will make you embarrassed.
Liu Yiliang pretended to be profound and said: "You can't judge a person by his appearance alone, because no matter how handsome he is, he will get old one day. A kind heart is the real priceless treasure."
"Let's go to Brother Yu's house to drink bone soup. You guys have eaten your fill at the state-owned restaurant, so you shouldn't be hungry. I'll go first." Liu Yiliang stepped harder and quickened his pace.
…
When Ye Qingshui returned home, it was too late to cook bone soup. Fortunately, she bought a few broken ribs from someone else at the animal husbandry station in the afternoon. This was what she had carefully picked up while squatting on the ground. The ribs had been chopped into pieces, so it was not easy to find them.
Ye Qingshui had not cherished food so much in many years. He washed the ribs five or six times, and after making sure there was no sand, he was moved by his own spirit.
After washing the ribs, she asked her mother to help pick and wash the vegetables. Ye Qingshui took out some of the marinade that he had specially left over from the previous few days and prepared to make some marinated ribs. When Xie Tingyu saw Ye Qingshui touching the black marinade, he went to his private plot to pick a handful of vegetables for the first time, as he rarely did any kitchen work, and washed them without complaint.
Soon, the smell of rice wafted from the Ye family’s firewood room.
After Xie Tingyu picked up a piece of pork ribs and tasted it, he felt that he had not treated those hooligans lightly and that they were wasting food. At that time, Xie Tingyu saw two pieces of ribs that were trampled and Ye Qingshui did not pick them up. And Ye Qingshui picked up the ribs well, they were really delicious.
Ye Qingshui didn't eat much, so she ate very quickly. She put away her bowl very quickly, as did her grandmother and her mother. Country people eat like they're at war, and no matter how delicious the food is, they just swallow it whole.
The rest all belonged to Xie Tingyu. Xie Tingyu's happy and wonderful mood did not last long. He heard Liu Yiliang's bell-like laughter. He laughed out loud: "What a nice smell. What a coincidence."
Liu Yiliang served himself some rice consciously and chewed the spareribs with relish.
Shen Weimin and Monkey also followed in. They saw the emotion in Brother Yu's eyes, which was obviously not a happy one, and they couldn't help but feel depressed.
They didn’t even think about it... Liu Yiliang forced them to come over.
Ye Qingshui had already applied the boiled medicine on her face and put on a mask. She was about to walk out the door, but when she saw the two men, she snorted, then remembered something and stopped.
She smiled and said to them, "Are you hungry? Come and have something to eat."
"No, no, no, we don't want to eat it." The monkey said unyieldingly.
"Yes, yes. Although I've already eaten, I'd better eat a little less as a midnight snack to fill my stomach." Ye Qingshui said.
She generously divided the remaining half of the meat on the plate to Xie Tingyu, the larger half to Liu Yiliang, and the remaining two pieces into the bowls of Shen Weimin and Monkey. After dividing the meat, she left in a happy mood.
Xie Tingyu shook his head, hiding the unbearable smile in his eyes.
Liu Yiliang was so happy that he secretly applauded his sister-in-law. He ate the meat in his bowl with satisfaction.
Shen Weimin and Monkey had to sit down reluctantly, and Monkey said, "I didn't come here specifically to eat the food made by the village girl."
"I--"
Me, me, me, fuck...
So delicious!
A wonderful taste captured his taste buds, the sticky marinade wrapped around the pork ribs, the meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sesame oil oozes out when you bite it, the aroma of the marinade permeates every bit of meat and the fragrance penetrates into the bones, fried to the right degree and stewed to be tasty and fragrant. Hmm...what else?
No, because I've finished eating.
Liu Yiliang was almost done eating, so he held onto his bowl in fear of being snatched away, and swallowed all the meat in the bowl in one breath. He chewed a few times and spat out a few bones.
Shen Weimin said: "Shui Ya is quite temperamental."
…
It is midsummer and the sun is scorching.
The sun scorched the land fiercely, as if to squeeze out every drop of blood and sweat from it. The scorching sun soon cooked the millet.
During the busy farming season, even if Ye Qingshui was responsible for raising pigs, he had to be included in the rush to harvest. Every day when he went out early and came back late, he always wore a straw hat, and he would definitely have a hat to protect himself from the sun.
This was in stark contrast to the other women who were so hot that they wanted to wear less clothes. Ye Qingshui's marriage to Xie Tingyu had already been a hot topic in the village, and this cover made people even more curious.
When the female educated youth who worked on the farm with Ye Qingshui saw this, she couldn't help but say, "Why are you covering yourself so tightly? Even if you didn't cover yourself, no one would see you."
Their impression of Ye Qingshui was still on her chapped and red face from the sun, and they were really shocked at first sight.
But it was this kind of village girl who snatched away Xie Zhiqing, who was so dear to their hearts, without saying a word. It really made people grit their teeth.
The educated youth He Fang couldn't help but touch her face and said proudly: "My face won't get hurt no matter how much it is exposed to the sun. Ye Qingshui, don't cover it for too long, or you'll get prickly heat easily."
Hearing this, Ye Qingshui said coldly, "I can't do that. I'll get hurt if I'm exposed to the sun. I can cover myself if I want, and you can go out in the sun if you want."
Ye Qingshui has a cold constitution, so she is cold in winter and cool in summer. In the past, when her mother led her to work, she would often touch her face and say, "Qingshui is really cool and feels comfortable to touch. Let me hug you more."
The female educated youth wanted to show off to Ye Qingshui, but failed, so she said sarcastically: "Why haven't I seen Xie Zhiqing come to the educated youth center to teach recently? Are you jealous? He is so educated, he should spread more knowledge. Ye Qingshui, how can you restrict him?"
Ye Qingshui said lazily: "No, I support him in whatever he wants to do." She swallowed the word "non-interference".
"Why didn't he come if you didn't stop him?"
Ye Qingshui noticed that she put down her farm tools and seemed to have no intention of working. He just followed her, and it seemed that he had other intentions.
Ye Qingshui said calmly: "I didn't stop him. He probably thought you were too dumb to teach. After seeing someone as smart as me, he compared himself with me and then...he got lazy."
"How can you say that! Ye Qingshui, this is a sign of disunity. Xie Zhiqing is our representative of the educated youth. As his partner, you should learn from him, encourage him and supervise him. This is the correct way of thinking. And - how am I stupid!"
The female educated youth was almost crying because of Ye Qingshui's tone, and people came over in groups of three or four to comfort her.
"Ye Qingshui, please stop talking. He Fang has been recommended to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. In such a hard and simple environment, she can still humbly ask Comrade Xie for advice. This spirit is commendable. Why do you want to stop her? Do you think you are more educated and capable than He Fang?"
"That's right, Ye Qingshui, you only have an elementary school education and you don't know how to make progress. Others are not like you."
Several women surrounded Ye Qingshui, their faces full of indignation but they were happy in their hearts: So what if Ye Qingshui married Xie Zhiqing? There was one thing that she could never catch up with them even if she tried her best to flatter them - she was uneducated!
Not only was she uneducated, she also liked to pretend to be educated. How could Xie Zhiqing, who was well-educated, possibly be interested in such an ignorant woman?
Sweeping the grain is an easy job, so there are many women. Where there are many women, there will be many disputes.
Ye Qingshui looked at the group of educated youth around her with different expressions, and she deeply felt that she should find an opportunity to make them face reality.
In her previous life, Ye Qingshui was indeed very gentle and self-abased, and she did not dare to refute others easily. When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. Now Ye Qingshui is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. She has been away from them for forty years. Forty years has been filled with countless three days. This group of female educated youth should also clean their eyes and treat them with new eyes.
She cleared her throat and said in a resounding voice, "Last time I said you were arrogant and narrow-minded, it seems I didn't slander you. From ancient times to the present, there are countless people who have no high education but are very capable. Regardless of the distant ones, let's look at the recent ones. The literary giant Lu Xun graduated from a technical secondary school; the professor and mathematician Hua Luogeng of Tsinghua University graduated from junior high school; the painting giant Qi Baishi never went to school for a day. This is the first to achieve."
Ye Qingshui said seriously with a straight face: "If you are not convinced, you can come and compete. I am happy to accompany you. If you lose, you must shut up and stop gossiping when you see me in the future. Learn to be a civilized person."
After she finished speaking, everyone suddenly fell silent.
Ye Qingshui took the broom and swept the millet easily and happily, spreading it evenly.
But they didn't know that after work, the female educated youth were in an uproar.
After a day's work, Ye Qingshui felt like a faucet, sweating like rain. No matter how much water she drank, it was useless. She was sweating all over in the threshing floor. After a day of sweating, there was no water left in her skin. She returned home, gulped down eight cups of wine, and sweated again. Only then did she feel that she had been saved from heat stroke.
It would be nice if it rained, it would be cool. But rain is the worst thing to do during the harvest. So Ye Qingshui hoped that it would not rain, and at least wait until the team had finished harvesting the grain.
The massive grain harvest was over, and Ye Qingshui's wish came true. Not a drop of rain fell.
As a farmer, Ye Qingshui looked at the scorching sun with anxiety in her eyes. She returned home and asked Xie Tingyu: "Do you remember when it rained last? Is the grain harvest this year bad? Why do I feel that I didn't dry enough grain?"
Xie Tingyu quickly answered her: "One month and three days."
Xie Tingyu quickly reported the brigade's grain production data this year, because he had just finished sorting out the grain report with the accountant.
"The average grain yield per mu used to be 903.5 kilograms, but this year it has dropped by about 5% to 7%. I looked at the data from other counties and found that it was almost the same.
Xie Tingyu usually did not discuss these things with female comrades easily. Only the team leader and the team secretary were interested in it. But since Ye Qingshui asked, he said so.
Ye Qingshui narrowed her eyes and frowned. She sighed and said, "Ah, it's so hot. After we harvest the millet, we should start digging a well."
Xie Tingyu nodded and said, "That's right. We should dig before the late rice season, otherwise we won't be able to grow crops without water."
Digging a well was not a big deal, Ye Qingshui was already familiar with it. After the busy farming season and after the grain harvest, the commune would often organize labor to build water conservancy projects and roads. If farmers simply relied on God for their livelihood, they would starve to death.
…
Educated youth point.
After harvesting the grain, the educated youths were finally able to rest, but once they did, the female educated youths were in an uproar. They were discussing Ye Qingshui heatedly in the dormitory.
Female educated youth Shen Yan said: "Why has Ye Qingshui become so sharp-tongued?"
Zhou Tingting retorted: "I don't think so. I think she speaks very elegantly now, like a scholar. Last time I went to her for help, she even poured me a cup of tea -"
But Zhou Tingting's words were quickly ignored by the heated discussion.
"Yes, yes, she's like a completely different person, so proud! How can she be so immodest when she only graduated from primary school? Even the elders in the village are very nice to us!"
Zhou Tingting continued to interrupt, "That's because your attitude is wrong! He Fang, put yourself in her shoes. Would you be happy if I spoke to you like that? When I spoke to her, she never treated me like that."
Li Lina: "You're right! She's too immodest, but... I hear her tone is more arrogant than the workers, peasants and soldiers! Those who are studying in college are not as arrogant as her."
Zhou Tingting: "Arrogant? Comrade, you don't know how to use words. She is obviously confident! I admire her very much now. She really knows a lot of knowledge. I asked Teacher Xie if she really recited it by heart last time, and Teacher Xie said 'yes'"
Finally, Sun Lingyu said, "Yes, you are right. No university student who studies seriously is as proud as she is. We should teach her a lesson and try to correct Comrade Ye Qingshui's blind arrogance. Didn't she say she welcomes challenges? Let's go!"
Finally, Zhou Tingting, a female educated youth, found that she couldn't get a word in: "..."
The author has something to say:
Shui Yaer: “…”
I'm scared, these women are so dramatic
Tingting: I feel so sad that I can’t speak.
