On the big day for collecting grain, it was time for Yin Zhihe to come to the brigade to take charge.
But Yin Zhihe felt that the work points he earned were too few, and it was shameful that he could only receive that little bit of food.
Shen Guixiang went to her daughter's house to beg for food. Yin Zhihe was too lazy to move, so he instructed Lu Jiaojiao to come and get the food.
Looking at the food He Ting received, he and Lu Baiwei could not finish it in a year with their two children. Looking at the food Yin Zhihe received from earning work points, which was only enough to last for about two months, Lu Jiaojiao felt sad.
Even though I knew that Yin Zhihe would become rich in the future, I couldn't see any hope for the present.
Zhou Yanfeng helped He Ting move the grain. Lu Jiaojiao kept her eyes on He Ting until He Ting pushed the cart and Zhou Yanfeng walked away. Only then did Lu Jiaojiao pick up the pitiful amount of grain in the basket with a shoulder pole and slowly walked towards the Yin family.
The two baskets of grain weighed over 100 pounds, and they weighed heavily on her shoulders.
When he was at his mother's house, although life was not very good, it was Lu Jianguo who did all the hard work.
All the men in the brigade went to the brigade to collect food. Only a lazy guy like Yin Zhihe would let a woman like her carry a basket to carry food.
Lu Jiaojiao was almost collapsed by the burden, tears welled up in her eyes. She walked towards Yin's house, carrying the load for a few steps and resting every few steps.
Passing by the brigade office, she smelled the aroma of smoked bacon and the smell of rice candy.
Sugar was very precious these days. It took a lot of sugar to make rice candy, and one had to spend money to buy glutinous rice from the production team. Only wealthy families could afford to make rice candy for the New Year.
As far as she could remember, she had spent many New Years at her mother's house, and her family had only made rice candy once.
Seeing He Yunqi leading a few little Tang people, each holding a large piece of rice candy in his hand, Lu Jiaojiao was extremely envious.
She couldn't grab the candy in front of so many children.
"What do you guys have in your hands?"
He Yunqi is a vengeful guy.
He remembered that Lu Jiaojiao was a bad woman who led other children to throw stones at him.
Seeing that Lu Jiaojiao seemed to be swallowing her saliva, Xiao Qi licked the rice candy thoughtfully, then put the rice candy in his mouth and chewed it, squinting his eyes and looking like he was enjoying it.
"Can't you see?"
Xiao Qi showed a harmless smile on his face: "We are eating rice candy!"
"Don't you have any at home?"
Don’t you have one at home?
It hit Lu Jiaojiao directly.
Dead kid, bad embryo, it's so annoying no matter in the previous life or this life.
Wanting to taste the rice candy, Lu Jiaojiao coaxed him: "Do you have rice candy at home? Let auntie try it and see if it tastes good?"
"OK!"
Xiao Qi handed the rice candy in his hand to Lu Jiaojiao.
Before the Tang people could stop him, Xiao Qi suddenly yelled, "Uncle, come here quickly. A bad woman is trying to steal my candy."
When little He Yunqi shouted like this, the little Tang people also started screaming like ghosts.
"Come on, uncle, the bad woman is stealing our candy."
"The bad woman is grabbing the candy!"
He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng were moving grain when they heard the children shouting and rushed out of the house.
Lu Jiaojiao's hand just touched the rice candy in Xiao Qi's hand. She just touched it for a moment and stretched out her finger to lick it to taste it. As a result, she met He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng's eyes as they ran out of the house.
She was about to spit out blood.
It's so embarrassing.
Lu Jiaojiao didn't care about the pressure of carrying a load of grain on her shoulders, and hurried away under the incredulous looks of He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng.
"She is so mean, trying to trick me into eating candy."
"That's right, her family is too poor and can't afford candy, so she wants to steal the candy from the kids."
"Bad woman, shameless..."
Lu Jiaojiao: “…”
While carrying the grain, she kicked a stone and almost tripped and fell.
After finally carrying a load of millet back to Yin's house, her shoulders were almost worn out, but she saw Yin Zhihe sleeping soundly under the quilt in broad daylight.
"Yin Zhihe, get up."
Think about what kind of life Lu Baiwei lived and what kind of life she lived.
Think about it, a bunch of men went to the brigade to collect food, but Yin's family was the only woman who had to carry the load and do the heavy work.
Lu Jiaojiao was so angry that she pulled Yin Zhihe's quilt.
"Other men go into the mountains to hunt in winter, and bring back game for the New Year."
"In other families, men go to the brigade to collect food and carry it back home, but you stay at home and sleep soundly, leaving me, a woman, to carry the load and do the heavy work."
"Look at how many work points He Ting earns a year. How many work points do you earn a year?"
"The food they earn from full work points is more than they can eat in a year, but the food you earn is not even enough to fill your teeth during the New Year."
"In other families, men support their wives, but you are lazy and greedy. You can't earn money and food yourself, and you order your mother to go to your sisters' homes to beg for money. Why am I so unlucky to marry a man like you?"
"Yin Zhihe, are you a man?"
Yin Zhihe is sleeping soundly!
He was dreaming of getting rich.
In the dream, he married Lu Baiwei, and he did business on the black market with Lu Baiwei. He dug up gold at home, and made a fortune in the clothing business. He lived in a spacious house and drove a car. In the dream, those people seemed to be fawning on him and calling him Mr. Yin.
He lived a prosperous and glorious life.
At this time, his uncle who had gone to Gangcheng during the turbulent period came back. His uncle had no son, so he said he would adopt him as his son and let him go to Gangcheng with Lu Baiwei to inherit his property.
The condition was to ask him where the box of gold buried under the Yin family's ground had gone.
He said the gold belonged to him, and he wanted to take the iron box containing the gold back to Hong Kong City as a souvenir.
The box had been sold along with the gold when the gold was being traded.
Where can I find the box now?
He was so anxious in his dream that he was woken up by the cold. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jiaojiao pulling his quilt and scolding him for not being a man, which really touched Yin Zhihe's sore spot.
You should know that he married Lu Baiwei in his dream, and Lu Baiwei never despised her.
Lu Jiaojiao was such a disgusting piece of trash, she actually dared to call him a coward.
Everything that happened in the dream was so real. He was still immersed in the scenery in the dream. Lu Jiaojiao scolded him for not being a man, not being a man.
Yin Zhihe is famous!
He sat up from the bed and slapped Lu Jiaojiao in the face.
"Yin Zhihe, you dare to look for me?"
"I'll file a complaint with the brigade and have you put in jail."
It would have been fine if Lu Jiaojiao didn't mention the complaint, but as soon as she mentioned Yin Zhihe, she got angry.
His mind was filled with images of how Lu Jiaojiao had tricked him into hiding in the haystack, causing him to lose the chance to marry Lu Baiwei.
At this moment, facing the ugly Lu Jiaojiao, his mind was full of the gentle and virtuous Lu Baiwei in his dreams.
Yin Zhihe firmly believed that if things had developed as in his dream and he had married Lu Baiwei instead of Lu Jiaojiao, he would also be able to rise to prominence like in his dream, live a prosperous life, and be respected and praised by others.
Instead of now, being despised by others means you are not a man.
Lu Jiaojiao wanted to run out of the house and threatened to go to the brigade to complain. Yin Zhihe grabbed her hair, dragged her to the shop, then approached her and punched her in the face.
Lu Jiaojiao screamed, "Help! Yin Zhihe is trying to beat me to death."
