Chapter 16 Many people in the Peeping Team knew that something had happened in the team...
Chapter 16 Peeping
"Mingli sister-in-law, I'm going to feed Zhuangzhuang, would you like to come?"
"Okay, Yaya must be hungry too."
Sister Mingli shouted at the other rice field, "Aihua, go feed the baby~" The three of them were in the same team.
"Hey, here I come~"
Chen Yin walked to the ditch at the edge of the field and used the clean water to wash her hands and rinse off the mud on her legs and feet.
"My daughter-in-law Jiuru, you have been doing well in the confinement period. You have plenty of milk." Liu Aihua looked at Chen Yin with envy.
"My mother-in-law and great-grandmother are very strict. They won't let me hold the baby for too long for fear of sore arms."
She accidentally looked down and saw the marks on her chest. She said helplessly, "I'd better squeeze some out and put it in the bottle, otherwise there will be more."
The sensible sister-in-law giggled, her eyes full of teasing as she said, "If you can't finish it, ask your husband to help you!"
Chen Yin couldn't stand the teasing of these old sisters-in-law, so she clenched her fist and threatened: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hit you!"
"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed. If you don't believe me, ask Aihua. Which man hasn't had this?"
The older sisters-in-law also drive very fast.
Fortunately, the woods at the edge of the field weren't far away. In fact, there were only a few large trees at the edge, and a forest was growing behind them not far away. These few large trees were already quite thick when the field was cleared, and they were reluctant to cut them down. Every year, children's baskets were hung on the branches and used as swings.
Before feeding the children, you need to clean up the little ones first. If they poop or pee, you need to change their diapers and wash their butts. Soak the changed diapers in the bucket you brought. Take the time to wash them at the water outlet, and then rub them carefully when you get home.
Otherwise it will be dirty and unusable for the whole day.
It took more than ten minutes before the three of them finally sat down, opened their clothes and fed the child.
The three of them were holding their children in their arms and chatting intermittently.
"Hey, Yinyin, where did Zhuangzhuang buy that baby bottle? It looks really useful."
Liu Aihua was also out of confinement not long ago, only half a month earlier than her. Yaya from Mingli's family is already four months old, but childbirth is too exhausting. Before the child is one year old, the team leader will arrange relatively easy work for him as a kind of care.
Almost every family has children, and the members have nothing to say about this.
Chen Yin glanced at the milk bottles in the basket and said, "It looks like they were bought from the county department store. They needed industrial coupons or something.
But there is one that is really okay, I can squeeze out the extra milk and store it, and when I don’t have so much time to feed, I can just heat it up a little in the kettle and feed it without my presence."
As she spoke, Chen Yin frowned and looked up.
"What's wrong?" Sister Mingli also looked over when she saw it.
"I don't know, it feels like someone is peeping at me. It's uncomfortable." Chen Yin felt offended and uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but turn her body and cover her clothes more tightly.
"Don't tell me, now that you mention it, I also felt like someone was staring at me just now. It was hot and burning. I thought it was an illusion."
Liu Aihua was older and a bit of a shrew herself. She spat in front of her and yelled, "Who is the shameless one peeping at me breastfeeding? If you're brave enough, come out and watch me beat you to death with my breasts!"
Chen Yin lowered her head, wanting to laugh but unable to, so she held it back.
"This thing will destroy your offspring, and you're still peeking at it. Aren't you afraid of blinding your dog eyes?"
The sensible sister-in-law even casually pointed forward and cursed: "Don't think that no one can see you just because you hide, you coward, you worthless thing!"
Unexpectedly, there was a series of rustling sounds behind the big tree, and it was obvious that someone was running away.
The three of them were just trying to figure out what to do, but they didn't expect that someone would actually be eavesdropping.
"There really is someone. I just pointed my finger and it worked..."
The three of them were too busy feeding the child to bother with it. They quickly put the child down and said, "Chen Yin, you stay here and watch over him. Aihua and I will go check what's going on."
Chen Yin nodded. Her son Zhuangzhuang was too young, and she felt uneasy if she didn't keep an eye on him. She had to hide someone to watch over him. What if he stole it?
The two sisters-in-law found the source of the sound, looked behind a big tree for a while, then turned around and left cursing.
This time I went directly to the team leader and the women's director.
Chen Yin looked at the big tree, wondering what was going on. Maybe she had found some clues?
***
After a while, the team leader, the women's director, the militia platoon leader, and the squad leader all went to check over to the big tree and pointed in her direction. Soon, the team leader and the others left with bad looks on their faces.
The director of women's affairs brought over sister-in-law Mingli and sister-in-law Aihua.
Chen Yin couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
The women's director's surname was Zhu, and she was also the captain's wife. A warm, cheerful, and capable woman, she comforted Chen Yin, saying, "Judging from the signs, it's likely someone was spying here, and we didn't catch them in the act. Otherwise, he would have been convicted of hooliganism and sent to jail for the rest of his life."
"You guys need to find something to block the way tomorrow. The captain and the militia platoon leader will discuss this matter at the evening meeting."
Since we haven't caught the person, we can only issue a large-scale warning and ask people to be more careful.
Chen Yin was overthinking it. "I don't know if this is the first time, or if we're the only one who's peeking?"
The director of women's affairs immediately understood what she meant.
"I'll go to those two places later to ask about the situation. Please pay close attention."
"I think we should suggest to the brigade that whoever catches this person will be rewarded with 100 work points." Liu Aihua said hatefully.
"I think this trick will work."
"Yes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward." Although one work point is only worth a few cents now, one hundred points is worth several dollars.
Sister Mingli and Chen Yin both seconded the motion.
At that time, nothing could be hidden. Before long, many people in the team knew that there was a voyeur in the team who specialized in watching women breastfeeding their children.
“
"Pfft, what a shameless fellow! If I catch him I'll break his third leg!"
Most of the men who have wives at home cursed and swore, wishing they could strangle the cowardly thing to death with their own hands.
Yan Jiuru naturally knew it too.
He took a special leave to come and see Chen Yin. He was very accurate in throwing the seedlings, so he was assigned to throw the rice seedlings.
"Are you not scared? Are you frightened?"
Chen Yin nodded and said, "I'm a little scared. I felt a little uncomfortable at the time, as if someone was secretly watching me, and it felt prickly."
"I felt really uncomfortable. When Sister Mingli and Sister Aihua went to check, I was still thinking it was a blessing that she didn't steal the child."
They were transplanting rice seedlings, still some distance away from the edge of the field. They didn't always keep their eyes on the children, but only glanced at the basket occasionally. If they really hid behind a big tree to steal the children, they would most likely succeed.
That's why she was afraid.
Yan Jiuru also went to the place Chen Yin pointed to and checked it out. Although he had limited time, he still saw some traces and some things that looked like semen. No wonder the two sisters-in-law went directly to the captain. As a married person, she understood it at a glance.
Yan Jiuru's face was gloomy. He could imagine what that wretched grandson had done here.
However, it is better to catch this guy in the act, otherwise we can only use a sneak attack.
He adjusted his expression and comforted Chen Yin: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

After dinner, the brigade's loudspeaker blared a few times, and soon the brigade leader's voice was heard: "Xinghua Brigade, every household, send someone to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. Every household must be present today. Those who are absent will have their work points deducted for today!"
Points, points, points, the lifeblood of members.
Everyone knows why the meeting is held, and those who are trustworthy have to go and listen without having their work points deducted.
Their Xinghua Brigade was poor and there were no landlords or local tyrants in the past. The brigade headquarters was located in the village's original meeting hall, which was actually just three rooms. Fortunately, it had been renovated over the years and half of it was made of bricks and tiles.
Everyone held meetings in the open room in the middle. Members brought their own stools or sat on the floor. Some even took off their shoes and sat on them. No one cared if they stood to listen without getting tired.
However, most of the women came with stools and work in hand, either making soles, patching shoes, or twisting hemp ropes.
In short, if you bring your ears and mouth to a meeting, your hands cannot contribute anything.
The room was lit with two bright calcium carbide lamps. The smell was a bit smelly, but the free light was still tolerable. There was no other way. It was distributed by the higher-ups, and every brigade had to collect it.
The brigade accountant was responsible for calling the roll at this time. If any family did not come, their work points would be deducted. Therefore, there had to be someone answering the call from every family, even if it was just a child.
Special circumstances are discussed separately.
In addition, the educated youth and those who were sent down to the countryside were also asked to come and listen together, which was considered a general meeting.
The team leader, team secretary, deputy team leader, women's director, militia platoon leader, and team leaders, all those with the word "leader" in their titles came together.

“This is what happened today.
Everyone has heard about it, but I'm officially stating that today someone was found peeping at a female member breastfeeding her baby. This is immoral at best, and hooliganism at worst.
According to preliminary investigations and interviews, people were peeping in more than one place, and it is likely that this has been going on for more than a year. It is unclear whether it is the same person or more than one person.
There are a few things to do at today's meeting. First, everyone should be vigilant and consciously monitor the people around them. If you find anyone suspicious, you can report them. Once we verify the information, we will reward them with 100 work points, which will be considered as eliminating harm for the people.
The second thing is to report if there are outsiders coming to your home, and to notify the brigade and the militia platoon leader in a timely manner if there are people with unknown origins.
Third, for those who are not in school during the busy farming season, starting from the fourth grade, you will be assigned to farm work together starting tomorrow. Other students will not be required to do so."
One member of the cooperative complained, "Everyone is busy planting. There's no one in the village. No one would know unless they passed by the fields."
Some members also shouted: "Captain, just tell us if he is from the village. Whoever it is, let's find him out right now. Damn it, I can't beat him to death."
Chen Yin rarely raised her hand and expressed her concerns, "Captain, if everyone went to check, the child would be taken away without anyone knowing. He's so small, he could be put in his arms. We have to go on patrol."
"Ahem," her father, Secretary Chen, cleared his throat and said, "I think after this busy period, we still need to strengthen education. The lazy people in the village, the loafers, the idlers, the ones who go about their business all day, the ones who cheat people, and the ones who lure people into gambling and playing cards, all need to be disciplined."
The secretary doesn't speak easily, but when he does, it signals the future direction, or at least sets the tone for the village.
"It's time to deal with this thief, the one who steals vegetables from other people's vegetable gardens. You asked for a few handfuls of vegetables, but they ate them without you even asking. You even destroyed the healthy seedlings. You have to deal with it."
Some villagers have wanted to say this for a long time, but they have been too busy with farming to take care of it, so this is just right.
Several of the educated youth lowered their heads quietly.
When you don't exist.
The team leader glanced at the educated youth and said, "Xiao Zheng, you are the leader of the educated youth. You go back and convey this matter to the relevant departments."
He looked at the few people who had been sent down, "You guys should pay attention too."
