Chapter 58: Busy Farming in April
Fubao said goodbye to his father and prepared to go home with a small bamboo basket on his back. It was already dark at this time. Behind him was the Big Rolling Mountain, and in front of him was a village hidden among the dark green trees. No one in the production team was willing to light the lights, so the whole place looked pitch black and quiet, except for the occasional barking of a dog from someone's house.
Fubao was not afraid. Dagunzi Mountain was where she was born and Pingxi Production Brigade was her home. Both were familiar to her.
She was walking home with brisk steps, and as she was walking, a child came towards her.
It is raw silver.
Fubao was wary of Shengyin. She restrained her expression and asked, "What are you doing here so late?"
Shengyin is not an ordinary child. She has bad intentions and even wants to harm herself. She appears here so late, who knows what she is going to do.
When Shengyin saw Fubao, he seemed to have forgotten what happened at the well platform. He asked anxiously, "Have you seen Aunt Wang?"
Fubao: "Aunt Wang, I saw her. I saw her before at the diesel engine by the river. What are you looking for her for?"
Could it be that Shengyin has evil intentions again and wants to harm Aunt Wang?
Fubao remembered that Aunt Wang was a neighbor of Nie Laosan's family. Could it be that there was some disagreement between the neighbors that made her have bad intentions?
Shengyin stamped his feet and said, "Nothing, her little fourth child is crying at home, I'll go over and take a look."
As he said that, Shengyin ran towards the south river bank.
Fubao stood there, thinking for a moment, and felt something was wrong. Was Shengyin such a kind person? No.
It was pitch dark, and Fubao felt that it was inappropriate for such a small child like her to run over to look for Aunt Wang.
Fubao hesitated for a moment, but decided to go back and take a look.
The one on duty tonight is his father Gu Weidong, and Xiao Dingkun is also there. If Shengyin has bad intentions and wants to cause trouble, then his father and Gu Weidong will be implicated.
The captain said that the diesel engine is a precious thing, costing a thousand yuan. If it breaks down, won’t Xiao Dingkun have to go to great lengths to repair the diesel engine?
Who knows what Shengyin is thinking.
After figuring this out, Fubao carried the small bamboo basket and ran after Shengyin.
Shengyin was walking in front and sneered when he heard the movement behind Fubao.
She pinched the jade in her palm and sneered, "Fubao, Fubao, you think you are very smart, right? But I just want to make you fall into the trap."
Of course there must be a reason why she came out alone so late.
Because she remembered that a big scandal would happen in Pingxi Production Brigade tonight.
Uncle Li's son Li Jinlai has actually been hooking up with Widow Wang who lives next door to his house. Tonight, Li Jinlai was on duty, and Widow Wang took the opportunity to run over and have a secret meeting with Li Jinlai.
Later, Li Jinlai's affair was accidentally discovered by the night watchman that night. It was made public and everyone laughed at him and scolded the widow. Li Jinlai was also beaten up by Uncle Li, who then hurried to find a wife for Li Jinlai.
Li Jinlai was weak in character and had no choice but to agree.
When the widow saw that Li Jinlai was going to marry her, she was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't face anyone, so she drank the pesticide 1605 and committed suicide.
After Widow Wang died, Li Jinlai was extremely angry and his eyes turned red. He took a knife and chopped the person who had ridiculed the widow the most. This caused the most vicious tragedy in the history of Pingxi Production Brigade, which shocked the whole area and the case was even reported to the provincial level.
After the murder, Li Jinlai went to the police station to surrender himself.
He was indeed interested in the widow at the beginning, but he knew it would be difficult to marry her into his family, and his father was forcing him to give up on her. However, he didn't expect that the widow could not bear the humiliating words and contempt of the people around her, so she committed suicide.
From the moment the widow died, he wanted to die with her.
Although Shengyin was young at the time, she was deeply impressed by this incident. She wanted to take advantage of it and use it to trap Fubao.
What a coincidence, I heard on the street today that Fubao came to bring food to Gu Weidong.
That was great, so she led Fubao over and caught Widow Wang and Li Jinlai in their affair.
When the time comes, if she adds fuel to the fire and spreads the news, making the matter a big deal, the first person Li Jinlai will hate will be Fubao.
Fubao followed Shengyin on tiptoe, only to see Shengyin acting suspiciously and taking secluded paths. Fubao felt something was wrong.
"I don't know what evil intentions she has. I have to take a look." Fubao thought so and continued to follow Shengyin. After a while, they arrived at the end of the ditch. There was a corn field in it. The corn vines had grown to the height of a person's knee. There were trees all around, and it was dark and could not be seen clearly.
She wanted to find the silver again, but she couldn't find it anymore.
I was puzzled at the moment and thought, has Shengyin hidden himself?
Seeing that it was pitch black all around, she suddenly felt a little scared and thought that she should hurry to the riverbank to find her father and Xiao Dingkun. She had to make sure they were alert tonight and didn't fall into the trap of the bad guys.
Who knew that just as I was about to leave, I heard a sound coming from the woods next to the corn field.
She was shocked and wondered why the humming sound was a bit like the sound of her parents sleeping on the kang at night.
She didn't know what to do when suddenly a strong hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside.
Before she could scream, the man covered her mouth.
Those were a pair of big, hard hands, with a faint smell of diesel and machinery.
Brother Dingkun?!
When he saw that she recognized him, he let go of her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Don't talk."
Fubao knew that something was wrong and was a little scared at first, but now Xiao Dingkun was here. As soon as Xiao Dingkun came, her heart immediately calmed down.
With Xiao Dingkun, she is no longer afraid of anything.
She nodded obediently, keeping her lips tightly closed, afraid of leaking any sound, and later she simply covered her mouth with her little hands.
Seeing her sensible appearance, Xiao Dingkun whispered in her ear, "Good boy Fubao, go out to the main road over there first. Don't come over here, understand?"
Fubao was puzzled and looked up at him in surprise: "But, I want to see Shengyin--"
Xiao Dingkun didn't know how to deal with such a curious child, so he simply frowned and said, "Be obedient!"
Fubao looked at him confusedly, thought about it, and nodded.
Brother Dingkun is a good man and treats me very well. What he says must be right.
Fubao obediently raised his legs and quickly ran towards the road over there.
Xiao Dingkun watched Fubao run to the main road over there, and then he felt relieved. Turning back, the smile he had just had on Fubao was gone. A mocking light appeared in his black eyes. He held the stone, aimed it at a place opposite the stick field, and threw it accurately.
The small stone slid across the night sky and landed in the bushes opposite.
A scream came from the bushes: "Ah!"
Then, someone jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and the bushes shook violently.
Along with this sound, the humming sound behind the bushes opposite suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, two figures hurriedly ran out of the woods.
Their clothes were disheveled, and even a patch of white could be seen in the darkness. A man and a woman covered their faces with their clothes and ran out in shame.
The man and woman quickly ran out, put on their clothes in a messy manner, and in their panic, they finally realized that something was wrong. Why didn't anyone come with a big stick and shout "catch them cheating" to beat them?
The initial fear of being caught in an affair slowly faded away. The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant: "Who, who is there?"
They didn't run away, they came back, trying to find the person who had been eavesdropping on them.
Shengyin was hiding in the bushes opposite, holding her breath. She was wondering how Fubao disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then she was hit by something.
The stone hit her knee right on the ground, causing her to fall to her knees with a thud. The pain made her cry.
The man and the woman were Li Jinlai and Widow Wang. Just like in their previous life, they both had an affair and made an appointment to meet next to this corn field.
Widow Wang was a widow, and there was always a lot of gossip around her. Now she was secretly meeting with Li Jinlai, and she didn't expect to be caught. She was desperate, and she had to find out who was so shameless as to peek at her and Li Jinlai.
If we don’t find out, that person will probably tell everyone about it the next day!
A man and a woman, who were filled with fear, shame and anger, rushed forward like wolves and tigers and rushed in front of Shengyin.
They were ready to fight each other, but when they rushed to Shengyin, they found that she was just a five-year-old girl, and the two looked at Shengyin in surprise.
"Shengyin, what are you doing sneaking out here?" Widow Wang's previous fear and anxiety had completely dissipated, replaced by anger. "We are all neighbors. You are just a little kid. What are you doing here? Is it your mother? Did your mother send you here?"
Widow Wang and Old Third Nie's wife have been neighbors for many years. Since they are neighbors, it is inevitable that they will have some bumps and bruises. Generally speaking, the two get along well, but there are also some gaps between them. This gap comes from the fact that many years ago, Old Third Nie's family built a wall and expanded it half a finger, occupying the land of Widow Wang's family.
If you move half a finger forward, I will move half a finger back. This is a taboo in rural areas. Widow Wang cursed Nie Laosan's family for a long time. Finally, the team leader at that time came forward to mediate, and finally Nie Laosan was allowed to demolish the half-built wall.
From then on, they were still friendly with each other on the surface, but in their hearts they wanted to strangle each other to death.
Now, looking at Shengyin, Widow Wang naturally thought that she had revealed some flaws in her past, so that Nie Lao San's wife had secretly sent Shengyin to expose her affair.
When she thought about this, she was so angry that she really wanted to strangle Shengyin to death.
She pinched her waist and cursed angrily: "You are so young and don't learn your lesson. Do you have any shame? You are still a girl, and you come here to eavesdrop on others? What do you want? Scream at me tomorrow and let others laugh at me. You little bitch, your mother is a piece of shit, and you are a piece of shit too."
Li Jinlai, who was standing next to her, was frightened and quickly grabbed her: "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, if others find out, we'll both be dead!"
Shengyin's knees were already aching, and she was grimacing. Then, Widow Wang caught her and scolded her. She was stunned for a moment. She shook her head frantically, "I don't know. I didn't hear anything. I didn't hear anything!"
But does Widow Wang believe it?
Widow Wang grabbed Shengyin and was about to beat him.
But Li Jinlai stopped him and threatened Shengyin fiercely, asking him not to reveal a single word.
"If this gets out, I'll come after you about this, and I won't let you off the hook!"
Li Jinlai is an honest man, but his eyes look very fierce, especially in Shengyin's opinion, he seems to be a person who used a knife to chop people in his previous life.
She trembled and hated it to death in her heart, but she could only nod repeatedly.
How come such a good thing happened to her?
If the affair between Li Jinlai and Widow Wang were to be revealed, wouldn't Li Jinlai be the first to go after her?
What about her?
Shengyin looked at Li Jinlai in horror, hardly daring to think about it.
She could only pray that this matter must not be spread out, must not be known to outsiders, absolutely not! No one could tell anyone, she had to desperately keep the secret for Li Jinlai and Widow Wang.
After the two groups of people finally left, Xiao Dingkun went over and finally found Fubao squatting on the side of the road, holding his little face in a daze.
Fubao was completely confused: "Brother Dingkun, what happened just now? What were they arguing about?"
He glanced at Xiao Dingkun in confusion: "Brother Dingkun, are they doing something bad?"
Xiao Dingkun: "Yes."
Fu Bao was puzzled: "What bad things did they do? Why did they have to sneak here to do bad things?"
Xiao Dingkun: "I don't know."
Fubao frowned and used his limited knowledge to think hard about this question: "Are they thieves?"
Of course, Xiao Dingkun didn't want little Fubao to know about such a dirty thing. In fact, Shengyin actually set up such a shameless plan, which really opened Xiao Dingkun's eyes.
Of course he had to keep it a secret in front of Fubao.
So he nodded and looked at Fubao seriously; "They wanted to be thieves, but they were caught. Brother Dingkun just taught them a lesson, and they have decided to turn over a new leaf."
Fu Bao was puzzled: "Who is it? Who is the thief? Why don't you let me go and see?"
Xiao Dingkun's face darkened: "Fubao, thieves also need to save face. Now they have realized their mistakes. If you continue to question them, will they feel uncomfortable?"
Fubao thought about it and felt guilty: "Brother Dingkun, you are right, then I, then I won't ask."
Xiao Dingkun: "That's right. From now on, you must not ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and you must not be curious about things that you shouldn't be curious about."
Fubao nodded quickly.
Why didn't she think of it before? Even thieves need to save face. She must remember this.
Xiao Dingkun looked at her well-behaved appearance and nodded: "It's getting late, hurry home, I'll watch here, you run along this road."
The end of the road is the production brigade, and there is nothing to worry about.
Fubao: “Hmmmm!”
After what happened with Shengyin and the thief today, she was a little scared and decided to go home quickly.
