Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face so soon. Not only did Shen Chuanzong love his wife, he was also good at hunting, so Xia Dongchun could eat meat from time to time.
This is extremely rare in the brigade, mainly because Shen Chuanzong is good-looking, and if he were not lazy, there would be many people proposing marriage to him, so Xia Dongchun really got a great bargain.
However, Shen Chuanzong is married, and his brothers who get along well with him are not there. Birds of a feather flock together, and those who can get along well with him are not much worse.
They are eager to try and also plan to find a place for themselves.
Xia Dongchun ignored the people's fiery gazes, sipped the mung bean soup from the bowl, and took a bite of the steaming meat bun.
When she had almost finished eating, Shen Chuanzong stuffed the remaining food into his mouth without changing his expression.
The female educated youth was stunned. Isn't it said that men are women's sky and the backbone of the family?
The women always eat thin meals and have to work harder than the men, but when they come to the Shen family, the situation is reversed.
The male educated youth despised him in their hearts, thinking that Shen Chuanzong was becoming less and less manly. How could he let a woman ride on his head and shit on him? He was so lawless!
Shen Chuanzong didn't care what others thought. When he saw Xia Dongchun was going to the fields, he said earnestly, "Wife, it's a hot day. Let's go back and rest first. I'll do the unfinished work."
Xia Dongchun jumped off the ridge of the field, which made Shen Chuanzong's heart jump. This woman was so fierce that she probably forgot that she was pregnant.
Xia Dongchun picked up the hoe and said without raising his head: "I'll be done soon. Wait for me under the tree and we'll go back together."
How could Shen Chuanzong sit there with a clear conscience? He threw the basket aside and went to work in the fields with her!
Those aunts who are making faces at each other are really good. They know how to care for their wives.
They were almost done. Before Xia Dongchun left, the female educated youth pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Dongchun, your man is a good man. He loves you very much. Are those guys around him, Yang Gangtie and Li Dashan, married?"
Xia Dongchun looked at them strangely and said truthfully, "I'm not sure. I don't ask about his friends. Aren't you going back to the city? If you really marry a country man, you'll cry and jump into the river when the college entrance examination is resumed!"
Besides, people get married to live a good life. If you want to be someone's ancestor, I advise you to give up this idea."
Seeing that they were obviously not going to listen, Xia Dongsheng turned around and left. It was useless to persuade the damned ghosts with kind words.
It's obvious that he sees that he's doing better and wants the same treatment, but who can guarantee that?
Moreover, the college entrance examination is about to be resumed. If they try their best to return to the city, they may run away with the money.
What would she say to anyone when the time comes? She might as well be a bad person from the beginning!
Seeing her leave, several people were so angry that their faces turned pale and they said without thinking: "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a peasant? If you have the ability, you can find a worker and go to the city to eat commercial grain."
"No matter how good a man is, it's useless if he doesn't have money to spend with you! Poor couples have many sorrows. Forget it, let's wait for the return trip. This is how we'll spend our whole life in this country, facing the loess and back to the sky."
"We are educated youths, intellectuals, superior to others. We have a place to stay in the brigade, so why would we care about you? We just asked casually. Do you think we like you?"
I have to say, one by one, all of them were defeated.
On the way back, Shen Chuanzong hesitated, but still asked, "Dongchun, what do they want from you?"
Xia Dongchun glanced at him and saw his cautious expression. She said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. They just asked me to introduce them to someone. They like Li Dashan and Yang Gangtie. I've never been a matchmaker, so I can't do it. Let them figure it out on their own!"
Shen Chuanzong held her hand, his face gentle, "Those lazy people just want to find a man to share the work with them, and they treat others as brainless suckers. Don't get involved in their affairs. If you turn the tables, you will lose face."
It would be fine if she just introduced a good one, but if she really had to introduce a bad one, it would be a mess for both of them and she would not be able to explain it, so she better not bring it up.
Xia Dongchun nodded. "I'm not stupid, how could I not know what they were thinking? Xiaoyan called and said that the college entrance examination would be open soon. What did you think?"
Country men are very averse to women taking the college entrance examination, for fear that if they pass, they will leave them and run away.
It is even more difficult to talk about a wife who is married for the second time. She has to tie her up at home no matter what she does. Shen Chuanzong said as a matter of course: "You go and take the exam. If you don't, who will take me to the city? Can I eat commercial grain? It all depends on you. Come on, wife."
Xia Dongchun was speechless when she saw him acting funny. Well, she was overthinking it. Shen Chuanzong was not a meticulous person.
Before they reached the door, Shen's mother rushed out. Seeing Xia Dongchun's face covered in sweat, she said distressedly, "Oh, you idiot, why didn't you take an umbrella? It's so hot today, like being in a steamer. Don't get a heat stroke."
Hearing this, Xia Dongchun felt warm in her heart. She said slowly, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm wearing a straw hat. Let's go inside first and don't stand outside."
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Let's go to the house and rest for a while. The food is ready. I'm afraid you'll be hungry."
Xia Dongchun was still a little embarrassed, "Mom, I'm still full, you sit down too, I have something to discuss with you."
She planned to be frank about the college entrance examination, so that they would not laugh to death when they heard it, which would be like a heavy hammer hitting them and making them panic.
Mother Shen brought a small stool over, and the two sat together. She asked, "Speak now! What do you want to say to me?"
Xia Dongchun held her hand and said slowly, "Mom, Xiaoyan sent me a letter saying that the college entrance examination will be open soon. I plan to take it."
