Chapter 35
Xiao Yuehua is also a cruel person. No matter how Feng Jianjun scolds her, she will not back down.
She had figured it out long ago. She couldn't get along with the men in the city, but she was unwilling to get along with the men in the countryside.
Domestic violence is very common in rural areas. How many men in this area don’t beat their wives?
Marrying into the countryside? Just ask around and you’ll find that most men beat their wives, and if you’re unlucky, your whole family will bully you.
No matter how strong your fighting ability is, you can't defeat that person's entire family.
Not only am I busy at home and in the fields, but I also have to give birth to many children.
I have to live my whole life at the mercy of my mother-in-law and I don't have a penny in my hand.
Wait for success? Forget it, many daughters-in-law have died, but mothers-in-law are still alive.
Among the men in the city, at least the number of them beating their wives has greatly decreased, not to mention other things.
People who are educated at least speak reasonable words.
Just like Feng Jianjun, even though he was furious every day, he still didn't dare to raise a finger against her.
So, the educated youth still prefers it.
However, Feng Zhiqing was extremely stubborn, and Xiao Yuehua gradually lost her patience.
That day, as everyone went to work, there was no one at the educated youth site.
Xiao Yuehua gave him some drug that would cause him to become unconscious, and then she crawled into Feng Jianjun's quilt.
When Feng Jianjun regained consciousness and looked at Xiao Yuehua in his arms, he was devastated and began to doubt his life.
Xiao Yuehua said, "We've been sleeping together. If you don't marry me, I'll go to the commune and sue you for being a hooligan."
Feng Jianjun was completely exhausted.
At this time, the crime of hooliganism would get him shot, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Before Feng Jianjun's legs and feet recovered, he wrote a letter to his family, took out all his savings over the years, asked the team leader to approve the land, built a one-bedroom apartment next to the educated youth site, and moved Xiao Yuehua in.
Compared with Feng Jianjun's indifferent expression, Xiao Yuehua was much happier.
I even bought the cheapest candy and gave one to each of the educated youth.
After Feng Jianjun moved out, the Meng brothers who lived in the same house breathed a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Xiao Yuehua would not be able to deal with Feng Jianjun and would turn her attention to themselves.
I am even more afraid that Feng Jianjun will divert the trouble to others.
Su Qingci became even more alert because she found that the look in Feng Jianjun's eyes when he looked at her was full of undisguised hatred.
The crops are growing well and the farm work is much less than before.
The team leader and the village accountant started collecting money from door to door with a small notebook.
There is a large pond in Gaotang Village, which is about five or six acres in size.
Every year at the end of spring when there is no farming work, the team leader would arrange for everyone to drain the water from the pond and clear the silt.
After drying it in the sun for two days to disinfect it, they went door to door to collect donations and buy fish fry to put in the fish.
Then a list will be made out on cardboard according to the amount of money contributed, and everyone will take turns to collect fish grass.
Whoever's house they arrive at will collect a load of fish grass and throw it in, and then pass it on to the next household.
"Captain, how do you calculate this fee?"
"One share is 50 cents. Generally, families with large numbers will buy two shares, but most people only buy one."
"At the end of the year, after we've collected the fish, we'll divide it up among everyone according to their share of the stock."
"But I have to tell you first, I can't guarantee how many fish I can get by the end of the year after I receive this money."
"Fish farming also depends on the weather. During the severe drought a few years ago, we couldn't catch a single fish; they all died in the sun."
"If we're lucky and have a good harvest that year, it's normal to get more than 10 or 20 kilograms of fish from this batch."
The old educated youth already knew the situation, and the team leader's words were mainly for the new educated youth.
Li Li, Su Qingci, Luo Song and Lu Linping discussed it and decided to take one share together and paid fifty cents.
The Meng brothers, Liu Fuqun, Zhou Huijuan, Chen Haiying and Chen Xiuxiang paid one dollar and owned two shares.
Liu Dazhu came and went in a hurry. He asked the accountant to collect the money and make the registration before running to the next house.
The accountant collected the money that day and took people to the city to buy fish fry.
After lunch, Liu Dazhui picked up the gong and started beating it loudly.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
"Qingci, bring the bucket, it's time to drain the fish pond."
"I heard from an old member that on the day the fish pond is dried up, everyone goes down to clear the mud, and whoever picks up the thing gets it."
"I heard that if you're lucky, you can pick up a whole basket of river clams, as well as snails, small fish, loaches, and eels."
"The half-grown children in the village have been waiting by the pond for a long time."
When Luo Song and the other man heard this, they immediately ran away with the bucket.
Su Qingci changed into a pair of rubber shoes and followed Li Li reluctantly.
As soon as we arrived at the pond, we saw that the slope was crowded with people and it was very lively.
The water in the pond has been drained, revealing the mud surface. Many women and children have already entered the pond barefoot.
The mud was up to an adult's knees, which wasn't very deep.
Some smaller kids thought it was fun and wanted to go into the pond too. After a while, they were covered in mud and stuck in it, unable to move. They all cried for their mothers.
The adults went back to pick up the dolls, laughing and cursing.
Luo Song and Lu Linping rolled up their trouser legs and went into the pond, and began to grope in the mud with nimble hands and feet.
After a while, I touched something hard. I took it out and saw that it was a big river clam. I was just feeling happy when I felt the weight was wrong.
A closer look revealed it was empty.
I threw it onto the shore and just after taking two steps, I felt like I was stepping on something slippery. I reached down and dug it out, and found another big river clam.
"Hahaha, Lin Ping, look, this is such a big river clam. This one has meat, this one has meat."
"Wow, this must weigh a pound."
Lu Linping looked at Luo Song with joy and even quickened the pace of touching the mud.
Su Qingci carried a small bamboo basket and walked around the pond, picking up snails when she saw them.
The people standing on the shore jokingly asked, "Su Zhiqing, aren't you going down?"
"Are you afraid of dirtying your flowery clothes? Hahaha."
"You can't do that. Do you see the little hole in the mud?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's the one."
"If you see a small hole like that, just dig it out. There's stuff inside."
"Okay, Aunt Tian, thank you."
"Aren't you coming down?"
"I'm not coming down. My two kids are down there. Don't let the whole family get covered in mud."
Su Qingci used two fingers to dig into the small hole that was exposed above the water surface, and sure enough, she touched something after a while.
When I took it out and saw that it was a huge snail, my excitement about the harvest was instantly aroused.
At first, he dug only when he saw a hole, and then he just started stirring the mud with his hands.
"What are you doing?"
Song Jingzhou hung on a tree branch beside the pond, curiously watching Su Qingci digging the hole with all his might.
"Why do we use the word 'touch' when we're talking about snails and clams? Why not use 'dig' or 'dig' the snails?"
"You're digging deeper into a hole. That's not touching, that's called digging!"
"Zizizizi, is he a cultured person from the city?"
Su Qingci was annoyed and threw a handful of mud at the person who was mocking her on the tree.
"Are you talking nonsense? Don't you know the word 'touch' for 'touching snails'?"
He pointed his muddy fingers downwards at his feet and said, "I'm just digging, digging my rubber shoes!!!"
I saw that one of her feet was cleanly wearing a rubber shoe, with her trouser leg tucked into the shoe.
The other foot was covered in mud all the way up to the knee, with the cute toes sticking out of the mud, and the rubber shoe had long disappeared.
