Chapter 24: The aunties who tell dirty jokes
It was only 10 o'clock, and Su Mo had finished weeding the three acres of land that she was in charge of.
Su Mo absorbed energy for the whole morning, and she felt warm and full of energy. Based on Su Mo's experience, her current superpowers should be considered to have officially entered the first stage.
The superpowers of the first stage can give birth to a vegetable seed at a time, from seed to maturity.
Su Mo saw Ma Xiaojuan in the distance, who had not yet pulled out half of the weeds, so she went over to help her and absorb some more energy.
Although Su Mo was not prepared to have too much contact with the educated youth, she liked Ma Xiaojuan after getting along with her for the past two days. She
looked careless, but in fact she was cheerful and generous, and had a sense of propriety. She was someone who could get along with her.
She couldn't be without friends at all, so Ma Xiaojuan was a good choice.
Ma Xiaojuan was also assigned three mu of land.
For picking peanuts, one mu of land was counted as one work point.
In fact, picking peanuts was not difficult. If it was just picking, an experienced hand could pick one or two mu of peanuts a day. The difficult part was carrying the peanuts back. Because most of the peanut fields were far away from the brigade and were not suitable for growing grain. So half of the time for picking peanuts had to be spent on carrying.
Ma Xiaojuan had long discovered that Su Mo was very fast at picking peanuts, but the two of them were far apart, so she couldn't yell. Now that Su Mo came over, she immediately came over and asked, "Good sister, tell me what the trick is for picking peanuts, how do you pick them so fast?"
"What tricks can there be? Just pull hard." Su Mo said, pulling up a peanut vine, pulling it up hard, and then frowning.
"Your land is harder than mine, and mine is easier to pull out."
"Damn! So that's how it is. I was wondering why those ladies pulled out the peanuts so quickly, it turns out they got good land." Ma Xiaojuan was angry.
Was she being bullied because she was an outsider?
She decided that after the autumn harvest, she would definitely curry favor with the team leader and the team leader so that they would give her some good land in the future.
Although she didn't rely on these work points, no one wanted to be a laggard forever. In the past, Su Mo had the foundation, but now that Su Mo didn't, she would be the last one to fall behind.
"You pick the peanuts back first, I'll help you pull them out, finish early and go back to rest early." Su Mo urged.
Ma Xiaojuan could only go to bundle the peanuts with great difficulty.
In order to pick these things, her shoulders were worn out and painful.
She suddenly envied Su Mo for having a partner who could help her pick peanuts.
Should she also find a partner to help her pick things?
Ma Xiaojuan went over in her mind the young men she had met during this period, and suddenly she was shocked.
Forget it, just pick slowly, if she can't pick all, there are still other male educated youths in the educated youth site, after the autumn harvest is over, she can buy more meat to treat them.
There is no need to sell herself out for such a small thing. A partner like Su Mo is rare in the village, let alone in the city. When
Lu Changzheng came back from picking peanuts, he found that his wife was gone. He looked around and saw that she was pulling up another piece of land.
Lu Changzheng:...
Aren't you tired? Why do you like farm work so much? He also wanted to tell her to go back early, because his mother would go over to propose marriage at noon.
After picking up the last two bundles of peanuts, Lu Changzheng walked to where Su Mo was picking peanuts and whispered, "Wife, go back early, my mother will go over at noon."
Su Mo nodded and replied, "Okay."
Lu Changzheng raised his lips happily. Although he kept calling her wife, he didn't feel real until this step.
This was the finalization.
He would go to the commune in the evening to make a phone call to ask if the marriage application had been approved. If it had been approved, he would take his wife to get the certificate tomorrow.
"I won't come back after I finish picking. I have to help my mother pick." Lu Changzheng said, and then told his wife, "You can help pull, but don't help carry. The road is not easy to walk on and the peanuts are heavy."
Su Mo nodded, and Lu Changzheng left with the peanuts.
When the aunts saw Lu Changzheng helping Su Mo, many of them started to feel jealous.
Although they were still discussing that Lu Changzheng kissed and touched Su Zhiqing two days ago, and he should be responsible for her, once he really took responsibility for Su Zhiqing, they felt wronged.
Such a good guy fell into the hands of an outsider, and it hurt.
"If I had known that this trick would work on Lu Changzheng, I would have asked my daughter to wait for him on his way back, and it would have been a good opportunity for an outsider."
"I also didn't expect that Lu Changzheng would actually have a relationship with the educated youth Su. Didn't the commune leader say that such acts of bravery to save lives should not be viewed with old eyes?"
"It was all because of that fool Li Cuihua, who spread rumors everywhere, as if she thought that no one knew what she was thinking. As a result, such a good guy, Lu Changzheng, fell into the hands of an educated youth from another place."
"That educated youth from Su is not even half as good as my daughter at work. I don't know what the Changzheng girl likes about her. Why is she not so good this time?"
A few years ago, there was a girl in the village who liked Lu Changzheng. She came from a good family and was pretty. When Lu Changzheng came back to visit his family, she colluded with his family and planned to invite him to the back mountain, hoping to slander Lu Changzheng and destroy her innocence, and force him to marry her.
As a result, Lu Changzheng was also tough enough. He reported the family directly to the Revolutionary Committee on the charge of slandering soldiers. The family was detained in the Revolutionary Committee for a long time before being released. If it weren't for some connections, the girl might have been dragged out for criticism.
Afterwards, the girl was married off to another place far away by her parents, and the family also began to keep a low profile in the village, no longer as high-profile as before.
Seeing this, some people in the village who had other thoughts gave up.
"What do you like about her? You like her because she's beautiful. If it was your daughter, she might have been a tough girl." A lady laughed.
Her daughter has been married for several years, and her grandson can make soy sauce, so they are all very interested in these things.
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man? There is nothing wrong with my daughter. She is good at home and outside. How many girls in this village can be like my daughter and get eight centimeters every day?" Nowadays, the highest work points for women's work are generally eight centimeters.
"Your daughter is good at farm work, but she is big and strong. Not only Lu Changzheng doesn't like her, but my son doesn't like her either.
" "Fuck you, my daughter doesn't like your son either. He's like a gigolo. He doesn't get as many work points as women. He will be a coward who needs to be supported by his wife in the future."
The aunt threw the peanuts and rolled up her sleeves. "You want to fight? My son just doesn't like farm work. He is very smart. He will definitely get a job to show you guys in the future."
The eldest aunt who was arguing with the auntie curled her lips, but she didn't say anything. She couldn't beat that guy.
The other aunties pretended to persuade them to quarrel, and the auntie picked up peanuts again. The group of people set off again with chatter.
"Although Changzheng baby kissed Su Zhiqing this time, I heard that it was also a kind of saving life, and it didn't count as destroying the innocence of the educated youth, so he can be irresponsible." Another auntie said.
Human nature is so contradictory. If Lu Changzheng didn't marry Su Mo, they would be accused of destroying his innocence; but if they really saw that he was going to marry her, they felt that they were wronged.
"Oh, they say people fall in love at first sight. If you were a man, wouldn't you be attracted to Su Zhiqing's looks? Her white and tender body is pleasant to look at, let alone touch."
"It's the same thing when the lights are turned off."
"You don't understand." The aunt smiled wickedly, and it was obvious that there was something behind it.
This aunt, among a group of aunts, was considered to have fair skin.
"He's comfortable in that aspect, but he doesn't know how to work. He'll starve to death."
"Lu Changzheng is a military officer with a lot of monthly allowance. Would he care about those work points? It's enough for him to be comfortable in that aspect."
"He only comes home once in the past few years. Isn't that a loss?"
"You, a woman, have to worry about it. Won't you take him with you to follow the army? I heard that those soldiers are good at this. I don't know if Su, the educated youth, can bear it because she looks so delicate."
The aunties laughed and the topic gradually became more interesting.
"I don't know if she can bear it, but your wife can definitely bear it. I heard from Baxiang that she passed by behind your house and the sound..."
"Okay, I told you who spread it, it turned out to be that nagging fool."
"Tell me about your wife..."
...
Lu Changzheng passed by another small path above and happened to hear the aunties' dirty talk below, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
But after thinking about it, he felt that what the aunties said made some sense. It was indeed a bit of a loss to leave such a good daughter-in-law at home, so he had to find a way to let her accompany the army as soon as possible.
