Chapter 177 I won’t read it anymore
Wang Xiannian said, "You're right. Teacher Wen works very hard in our school and teaches very well. She's a serious, hardworking, and diligent comrade. We will definitely not let such a comrade suffer any loss." After that, he thanked Zhao Ping'an and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Secretary Zhao, with this matter. I have to go to class too. I've already been to most of the class."
After saying that, he smiled and nodded at Zhou Wanlin.
Zhao Pingan said, "Go ahead, don't delay the class."
Only then did Wang Xiannian hurried to the classroom.
After he left, Zhang Hongying raised her hand and frowned, pointing at Lu Dongping, pointing again and again: "What a promising future! Where's your memory? What did your father tell you? You're not as good as Lu Donglin. It's a waste of food to be older than him."
"No, why are you setting me on fire again?"
Zhang Hongying looked at him with disdain: "If not you, who should I burn? Forget it, I don't want to waste my breath on you. I have to go back quickly and see if I can deduct fewer work points. You are all such a worry." She complained and thanked Zhao Ping'an again: "Secretary Zhao, you are busy. I will leave first." She was polite and acted like a completely different person from the woman who was jumping around and cursing and hitting people just now.
She was polite, Zhao Ping'an was also polite, and everyone was happy.
After she left, Zhao Ping'an called Lu Dongping into the house. "Well, the old ones are the wisest, right? Let me tell you, these women on the team are really hard for ordinary people to handle. If your mother hadn't come here and made such a scene, your wife wouldn't have been able to vent her anger. This matter would have been a long time coming."
The people beside him laughed and said, "I can't believe it. Teacher Wen usually looks quite gentle, but he can also quarrel."
Lu Dongping glanced at him and said, "Even rabbits will bite when they are angry, let alone humans."
Zhao Ping'an asked Lu Dongping, "What on earth did you do to make that kid scream like that? You scared me so much, I thought you had lost your mind and pulled his arm off."
Lu Dongping laughed and said, "There's a tendon in the elbow. It feels really good to play with it. Uncle, why don't you try it?"
"Just try it, you're the only one who has so many ideas in a day."
Then he asked him, "Why did you go to Lujiazui when you weren't at the Armed Forces Department? You made people run all over the place, and then when they got to the commune and couldn't find you, they turned back."
Lu Dongping said, "It was just a bunch of shit. I don't know what the hell Zhou Mingqing got himself into, but he got into a fight with his wife. It got really bad, and they resorted to knifework, and it almost resulted in a fatality. The Women's Federation from the commune came to do some work, and they insisted on bringing me along, so I went along to take a look."
"What's going on? Your armed forces department has alerted our brigade, but we don't know anything about it."
"It happened late yesterday. We were on the same team, but we were so close to each other and I didn't know about it. I only found out about it when he came to me this morning."
Zhao Ping'an frowned slightly: "This old bastard Zhou Mingqing is too outrageous. He is getting more and more outrageous. He has lived for most of his life and has grandchildren, but he still beats his wife at the slightest provocation. He has no shame at all."
The team accountant nearby said, "Not really. They were a good couple in the beginning. He chose his wife and insisted on marrying her. She was very pretty when she was young. Later, I heard that he caught her having an affair with someone else, and he made a big fuss about it. He's been like this for the past few years. He'd be fine most of the time, then suddenly have an attack, scolding and hitting her at will."
Zhao Pingan hissed, "Don't just say it casually."
"That's right, that's what I said. I'm usually busy all day long. If anyone mentions their family, they'll still be worried about their own family!"
Lu Dongping didn't know about this and didn't say anything. There seemed to be something in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
It was a noisy morning. After the last class, Wen Wan went to the fourth grade class but still didn't see Lu Donglin.
She packed up briefly, left the office and walked back. Before she reached the school gate, she saw Lu Dongping waiting there.
Didn’t you go to the commune?
After a slight pause, Wen Wan walked away. At this moment, she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
It's not that I'm angry with him, I just feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Dongping raised his eyebrows and looked at her as she walked away without paying any attention to him. He followed her lazily with his hands in his pockets.
They followed all the way home, and the two of them kept walking one in front and one behind.
The doors of the house were all locked. Wen Wan went straight to the door and opened it to go inside. Lu Dongping followed her in like a little tail. Wen Wan suddenly grabbed the bedroom door and wanted to slam it in his face: "You are not busy, why are you following me?"
Lu Dongping stretched out his hand to hold the door open, leaning against the doorway and looking at her.
Wen Wan was annoyed, and she loosened her grip, ripped off the bag she was wearing, and threw it on the desk.
Lu Dongping chuckled and hugged her from behind without giving her a chance to turn around: "If you are so angry, I will beat you up to vent my anger."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. She wasn't crazy. Why would she get angry with others and hit her man? Was she crazy?
Lu Dongping lowered his head and blew hot air into her ears: "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you."
Wen Wan didn't say anything, pursed her lips, her nose felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't control them and didn't want to control them, so she let them roll down and drip onto Lu Dongping's hands that were around her.
Lu Dongping hissed and turned her over: "Why are you crying? I know those words are unpleasant to hear, but don't take them to heart. I promise that I'll help you vent your anger when I find the chance, okay? Don't cry."
Wen Wan lowered her head, pursed her lips, and cried without saying a word.
I feel so wronged.
In my entire life, I have never heard such unpleasant words and been scolded by others.
She thought she had always done well. When she was on the team, she worked hard even when she couldn't do the work. Later, when she came to school, she also taught the students very seriously. But she only realized today that in the eyes of others, she was actually like that.
Lu Dongping resisted the urge to go to Hujiawan and beat up that woman from the Li family. He reached out and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry! It's so cold, your face will crack if you cry. Not only will it hurt, but it will also look bad."
Wen Wan said in a muffled voice, "If your face is cracked, it won't look good. If it doesn't look good, you won't like it, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I not like it? I love it to death. I like all kinds of it!"
Wenwan rubbed his chest willfully.
Lu Dongping was furious.
It took a long time to coax him into submission.
The rice had been warm in the pot since morning. Wen Wan asked Lu Dongping while eating, "Aren't you going to the Armed Forces Department?"
Lu Dongping said, "Yes, I went there this morning and just came back. I came to the team to deal with some things, and then went to school. Anyway, it's all work. You take a break later, I'll go with you."
He waited at the school gate for more than a class period because he knew that the little girl was too angry. He didn't know where Lu Donglin had run off to, and it was difficult for him to coax her in front of others, so he could only come back and coax her slowly.
No matter how harsh the woman from the Li family said, the problem ultimately lies in Lujiazui. He really needs to think carefully about how to deal with Zhang Yun, this woman with a bad mouth, to vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yun got into trouble on her own without him having to do anything.
Wen Wan finished her meal before continuing to tell Lu Dongping about what happened that morning: "He was like a little bandit, and I couldn't stop him. He said he didn't want to study anymore. I didn't see him all morning, and I don't know where he ran off to."
Lu Dongping was adding some pig grass to the pigs in the pigpen. When he heard her mumbling, he replied, "He's probably working in the fields. How could your mother run to school? He must have gone to the fields to yell. He's acting like a ghost!"
Wen Wan, who was not a ghost, didn't know that Lu Donglin was serious this time and really didn't go to school.
Lu Mingjiang and his wife had no objection to this. If he didn't want to study, then so be it. He hadn't achieved anything after all these years. He would be fourteen and fifteen soon, and could be used by adults. If he didn't want to study, then he could come back and earn work points.
They all had no objection, and Wen Wan was at a loss for words. She just said, "Just don't regret it later."
Lu Donglin was quite capable and replied, "When will a person not regret anything in their life? Even I, after getting into high school and becoming a city dweller, might regret studying instead of living a good life at home!"
Wen Wan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. How could this person be so talkative? He always kept repeating his own reasons.
Lu Dongping didn't comment on this, saying only, "It's his life to live anyway. No one can say anything about it now. When he gets older and has a heavier burden on his shoulders, he'll understand."
But by that time, what's the use of knowing? The burden of life is so heavy that it's hard to breathe. Even if you regret and want to learn, you don't have the energy to do so.
The twelfth lunar month was approaching, and there was not much work to do in the team. Apart from clearing land, they had to pick pig grass to hand in to the pig farm. The work points for handing in pig grass were too low, and picking pig grass was time-consuming. In order to earn more work points, everyone who could go to the fields went to the fields. In a few days, it was the twelfth lunar month, the last month of the year and also the coldest time of the year.
The weather this year is not very good. In the lower part of winter, the sky started to be frosty, the wind was blowing coldly, and there was no sunshine at all.
With exams just over a week away, Wen Wan felt hopeful that she wouldn't have to rush to school in the dead of night after the exams. As soon as school was over, she hurried back home. Not only was she anxious, but the students in Lujiazui were also anxious because today was the day for food distribution. For any member of the production team who could breathe, this was a day as grand as Chinese New Year.
When Wen Wan came back at noon, she took a look. It was not her family's turn yet, but the old couple Lu Mingjiang and Lu Donglin were there. Lu Dongping rarely came back to the team to help this year. He had been leaving early and coming back late in the past few days, and no one knew what he was doing.
There was still no sign of him at this time in the afternoon. The grain had been divided and piled up on the edge of the wheat field. Gao Xiulan and Chuyi were there looking after the grain for the two families. Several people were carrying baskets on their backs, carrying the grain back home in batches.
