Yang Niannian smiled, "Sister Wang, to be honest, I like this about him. I hate indecisive men the most. Marriage is to find a partner for yourself, not to help others find a partner. Waiters only serve customers in their own store. It would be fine if he just had basic courtesy to other women, and showed less compassion."
Wang Fengjiao smiled, "Niannian, I really like listening to you talk more and more. Your little mouth always tells me what I'm thinking but don't know how to express."
"This is the common voice of female comrades." Yang Niannian said with a smile.
Except for the first time she came to the army to rescue An An, Yang Niannian had never been to the river. There was plenty of water and lush grass by the river. However, Wang Fengjiao said that rabbits don't like to eat these, so she took Yang Niannian to the small woods nearby.
"The grass here is tender, and rabbits like to eat it. I have seen my uncle feed this grass to rabbits." Wang Fengjiao said.
Yang Niannian had never raised any small animals, and during this period the children had been pulling weeds for the rabbits. Wang Fengjiao said the grass here was good, so she squatted down to pull weeds.
Wang Fengjiao continued the previous topic, "The child's uncle likes to pretend to be a good person outside. He is simply a walking thunder in front of the women in the village. He rushes to help other people's families with trivial matters, but when it comes to family matters, he is like a broken limb and can't move at all."
She sighed heavily, "Alas, the child's aunt is also pitiful, having to deal with such a man. You said divorce, he doesn't beat his wife or gamble, it doesn't seem to be to the point of divorce. There are several children in the family, if they really divorce, the children will be pitiful, but if they continue to live together, they will feel aggrieved."
Since there was no one else around, Yang Niannian spoke without restraint, pulling the grass hard and saying with disdain.
"There are many men like this. Some men like to brag and act like male chauvinists. They think other people's wives are like Lin Daiyu and their own wives are like Hua Mulan. They want to get close to smell other people's wives' farts, and they think looking at their own wives for too long will shorten their lifespan. It's better not to marry such a man than to marry him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a fart sound, followed by a foul smell. Wang Fengjiao was pulling grass nearby with her head down as if nothing had happened.
Yang Niannian almost retched and wanted to cover her nose, but she was worried about embarrassing Wang Fengjiao, so she endured it and didn't say anything.
Wang Fengjiao was also offended by the insult. She shook her head and continued, "If I don't get married, I will be laughed at by the villagers. My brother and sister-in-law will not like it. After a long time, my parents will also dislike me."
Although Wang Fengjiao is straightforward and a bit spicy, she was born in this era and her thinking is still very traditional. She believes that women are the same as men and must get married and start a family unless they really can't find a partner.
No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, you have to give birth to one if you can.
Yang Niannian could understand her idea. After all, Wang Fengjiao was born in an era where people had to rely on one acre and three mu of land for food and drink.
The craze for working as a migrant worker had not yet officially started, and most women were illiterate. If they were kicked out of their homes, they might really have to beg for food on their own.
Yang Niannian took a step forward. The ground beneath her feet was a little soft, but she didn't care. After all, the trees were lush and the ground never saw sunlight all year round, so it was normal for it to be soft.
She picked up a handful of grass at hand and spoke crisply.
"Times are changing. As long as female comrades have independent thoughts, they can break free from their shackles. Women used to bind their feet, but now they don't, do they?"
"I think it's most important to follow your heart and be clear about what you want. You can't get married just because you're old. You have to meet someone you like and get married when you want to. Marrying the wrong person is much more terrible than being single. Nowadays, who hasn't heard of women jumping into rivers or hanging themselves? If you have the courage to die, why don't you stay away from this man and start over?"
"In fact, it's not that women can't live without men. It's that many women don't have the support of their parents like men do. After divorce, they can't raise their children alone, so they are bound by the shackles of marriage. Women have to work hard to make money. When they have money, they can speak with their heads held high, no matter in their husband's family or their own, and choose the life they want to live."
As she finished her words, she plucked the grass in her hand. This time she didn't use too much force, but she actually plucked off a small piece.
Wang Fengjiao, who was about to speak, glanced at it inadvertently and exclaimed, "Nian Nian, what is that under your hand?"
"Um?"
Yang Niannian looked down. It would have been better if she hadn’t looked. This time she was almost scared to death. She saw that there was a black back of the head at the place where she had just pulled the grass!!!
Oh my god!!!
Could this be a dead body?
She was frightened by her own thoughts, and screamed "Ah!". She quickly stood up and ran to Wang Fengjiao. As she screamed, a man jumped down from the big tree next to them.
What was even more bizarre was that the black mass on the back of the head suddenly rose from the ground and stood up.
Only then did Yang Niannian realize that the person lying on the ground just now was a soldier wearing a "Ghillie suit".
At this moment, the oil paint on his face could not hide the embarrassment on his face. He touched his head, not knowing what to do.
And the place where Yang Niannian was squatting and pulling weeds was exactly at the soldier's butt...
Thinking of her stepping on people's butts and pulling grass on their heads, not only the soldier was embarrassed, but Yang Niannian was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she ignored the person who jumped down from the tree.
Until Wang Fengjiao asked in surprise, "Captain Lu, are you, are you guys conducting exercises here?"
Yang Niannian turned around in astonishment, and just in time saw Lu Shishen approaching her, looking at her deeply, "Are you scared?"
Although he looked serious, his tone was gentle.
Yang Niannian shook her head and said embarrassedly.
"I wasn't really scared, but it was awkward. Why didn't you say anything to chase us away? Did we disturb your exercise?"
The big brother who was stepped on by her was quite dedicated. He didn't move at all. Thinking of the faint laughter she heard just now, she wanted to hit her head against a tree.
Lu Shishen shook his head, "No, it's just a good opportunity to see their hidden effects from an outsider's perspective."
Yang Niannian was embarrassed, "It turns out to be quite successful. You guys continue the exercise. We're leaving first."
Wang Fengjiao knew that the exercise was serious business and did not dare to delay them, so she nodded quickly and said.
"Yes, yes, you guys do your thing, we're leaving now."
He held the grass and led the way in front. He looked back and saw Yang Niannian following him, then he continued walking forward.
Just as the two walked a few meters, they heard Lu Shishen's voice behind them, "Collect."
Then there was a burst of laughter...
She looked back and suddenly felt her legs go weak and she almost fell down.
My goodness... Just now I saw dozens of people crawling up from the green grass in the forest...
Wang Fengjiao also noticed this scene and tried hard to recall what she had just talked about with Yang Niannian, but unfortunately she had said too much and she couldn't remember clearly.
So he tilted his head and asked, "Niannian, what did we talk about just now? Didn't we say anything bad about anyone?"
Yang Niannian shook her head helplessly, "I didn't say anything bad, it's just that I stepped on someone's butt and made them fart. It was pretty embarrassing."
"That fart was so stinky. I was wondering what you had for lunch, and your fart was so stinky." Wang Fengjiao laughed so hard that she fell backwards and almost cried.
Lu Shishen was about to lead the team into the grove when he heard the voice and looked back in the direction the two men left. Yang Niannian's words were vaguely echoing in his mind.
I was so engrossed in what she was saying that I didn't remind her to leave.
She was forced by her family to join the army. Under that circumstance, if she returned to her parents' home, she would not have a good life, so she weighed the pros and cons and decided to stay, right?
She looks weak, like a little child who cries when she wants to and laughs when she wants to, but in fact she is very smart and brave. She has goals and opinions in her heart, and she dares to pursue them and strive for them.
This is true for doing business and for taking the college entrance exam.
Is she working so hard now because she wants to make enough money and become good enough so that she can have the confidence to leave him?
Thinking that she was working so hard now, probably just to leave him, Lu Shishen suddenly felt like there was a void in his chest, and it was painful.
