This resulted in the food rations for the two becoming increasingly tight, because ever since the incident between Wang Fengxue and Pan Dalian, the production team's canteen had kicked the two of them out.
With the little bit of food that was distributed based on work points, even if they had only porridge, they probably wouldn't be able to survive for more than two months.
Wang Fengxue knew that he was in the wrong towards Pan Dalian and never dared to look for her.
If I don't go to Pan Dalian, there will naturally be no chance of improvement.
The sad thing is, even if you don’t have enough to eat, you still have to work harder.
Wang Fengxue worked hard in the field for several days but saw no improvement. After pulling out the weeds in front of him, he turned around and found that the weeds behind him had grown wildly again. In other words, his weeding speed could never keep up with the speed at which the grass grew.
This made him a negative example for the entire production team, and he would always be singled out by the production team leader and publicly humiliated at team meetings.
After working all day, he was so tired that his back and waist ached and his body felt like it was about to fall apart, but he still had to endure the ridicule and mockery of the production team leader and all the villagers. When he got home, he had to cook for his grandson who was lazy and sleeping at home, but his grandson made a big fuss with him because he didn't eat well.
Wang Fengxue finally couldn't hold it in any longer and exploded. He overturned the table and said bluntly that he wanted to kick Wang Zicheng out and no longer want him as his grandson.
Wang Zicheng, who had been threatening Wang Fengxue with the incident with Pan Dalian, immediately backed down when he thought about wandering around with nothing, where perhaps no one would pity him while begging for food, and that he might be beaten or even killed on the street.
Although he had to continue to follow Wang Fengxue to work in the fields in the following days, the seeds of hatred towards Wang Fengxue in his heart had already begun to take root.
…
After helping Wen Jiuyue weed the crops in the fields, Leng You rode to the county town on horseback for the first time.
When he walked to the gate of his own courtyard, he was stunned.
It seems like I have come to the wrong place.
The previous low and damaged wall has been demolished, and a new wall two meters high has been built with blue bricks.
The main door was also replaced with a new closed iron door, and was painted vermilion on the outside. It must have been painted not long ago, as there was still a strong smell of paint.
Leng You took out the key and before he inserted it into the keyhole, he heard the sound of two big dogs jumping up and down inside the door, even barking anxiously.
When the door was opened, the two dogs rushed out excitedly, running and jumping around Leng You, their tails almost wagging.
"Eat it!" Leng You threw a marinated rabbit to each of the two dogs. The two dogs stood up with their front paws. No matter how excited they were, they didn't dare to jump on Leng You. After acting coquettishly, they picked up the rabbit and ran to the corner to enjoy it.
Red Date: "Pfft!"
A blue brick road was paved from the main gate to the front door of the house, wide enough for a carriage to pass through. Many unknown flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the blue brick road, some of which were already in bloom, emitting a faint fragrance.
The ground of more than 100 square meters in front of the house is also covered with blue bricks, and flowers and plants are also planted on the edges.
The other empty spaces were filled with the tender green grass that red dates loved to eat, and it seemed that weeds such as wormwood had also been cleared away.
Looking up, the weeds on the roof were cleared away completely, and it can be seen that the roof had been waterproofed and smoothed.
The old red brick walls of the house were covered with cement, and the doors and windows were replaced with new ones and painted sky blue.
Then he opened the big lock on the door and pushed it open.
Not surprisingly, the interior of the house also looks brand new.
Although Hu Liu had already painted the walls and plastered the ceiling during the Spring Festival, this time he carried out a thorough renovation.
The original sand walls were all removed, replaced with cement walls, and then painted with new white lime.
The two kangs were re-laid, and even the kitchen stove was removed and replaced with a new one, and the countertop was covered with terrazzo.
All the floors were also paved with blue bricks.
In short, the entire courtyard now looks like it was newly built.
It goes without saying that it must have been done by Hu Liu.
Ever since Grandma Hu's long-standing illness was completely cured, the family has been grateful to her in a way that they could never repay in this lifetime. Although she had solemnly told them not to mention the word "thank you" again, they knew in their hearts that with the character of the Hu family, they would definitely remember this kindness for the rest of their lives.
But she didn't expect that they would be so attentive that they were almost willing to help her rebuild the house.
"Youyou girl, you're here? I saw the door was not locked, and I thought it was Da Sanzi who came back to get the goods." Grandpa Hu walked into the yard with a sickle. When he saw Leng You standing in front of the flowers and plants, his face was instantly filled with joy.
"Grandpa Hu, you've worked so hard!" Leng You had guessed that the reason this yard was so tidy was probably due to Grandpa Hu's efforts. When he saw the tools in his hands, he knew his guess was correct.
“It’s not hard, not hard. The yard at home is so small that I can finish it in the time it takes to smoke a pack of cigarettes.
Besides, your grandmother Hu’s health has been completely cured by you, so she can easily handle that job by herself and doesn’t need me at all.
There is not much work to do in the orchard right now, and I am bored, so I am going to clean up this place so that you can live more comfortably when you come."
Grandpa Hu looks very energetic.
Leng You, Grandpa Hu, and Hu Liu had already agreed before that the yard with an orchard of more than 20 acres that she bought later would be taken care of at will by Grandpa Hu if he was willing before she had a specific plan for its use.
What this means is that if Grandpa Hu is willing, he can take care of those fruit trees, and all the income from the fruits will belong to Grandpa Hu.
Leng You just wanted Grandpa Hu to look after her place, and to find someone to surround it with a wire fence in his spare time to prevent outsiders from seeing the place as deserted and thinking it was abandoned, and thus being occupied by others.
It’s not that Leng You thought too much, but this kind of thing has indeed happened countless times in the past twenty years.
With the development of the economy, the price of land has also risen. The land that was previously left abandoned by many people, thinking it was worthless and allowed to be occupied by others, suddenly skyrocketed in price one day, even to the point where it could make people rich overnight.
So the original owner began to claim back the land that belonged to him, but the people who later occupied it believed that they had built houses and settled here for decades, so the land should belong to them.
Therefore, because of the issue of land ownership, more people have filed lawsuits.
Leng You didn't want to get into the same trouble twenty years later, so she asked the people at the Housing Management Office to write down the land area clearly when applying for the house certificate.
Even so, she was not completely reassured. She would only feel more confident if she surrounded the area completely and had someone watch over it permanently.
The reason why the wall was not built directly was that Leng You wanted to slowly buy up the surrounding area. She had already conducted a careful investigation before. There were many residents living nearby, and almost every house was not small in size and the houses were all very dilapidated.
