Chapter 211: The Educated Youth of the 1970s is a Little Tough
While Tang Xiaoli went to fetch water, Lin Wanwan had already instructed Tang Xiaotian to help take care of Lin Jianjun and his wife.
She's not here often, so she always needs someone to keep an eye on her.
This way, they can understand their parents' situation in a timely manner and know who in the village has ill intentions towards them.
"You saved my life again. I will definitely complete what you asked me to do. When I recover, I will bring you a gift to thank you for saving my life."
Although Tang Xiaotian's injuries had healed, he was still very weak and spoke in a halting manner.
Lin Wanwan didn't urge him and only nodded after he finished speaking.
"Don't be too weak. If someone dares to bully you, break their legs."
"I think the people in your village are just bullies. Once you get tough, those spineless people won't dare to embarrass you and your sister."
"Here's some money. Find a way to nourish your bodies. Unless you have no other options, don't come to me during the day."
Lin Wanwan left the medicine and some money, said goodbye to the brother and sister, and returned home.
Tang Xiaotian looked at Lin Wanwan's back, silently repeating what she had just said in his heart.
The people in Houshantou Village are all spineless. As long as you are tough enough, the other party will not dare to do anything to them.
"In the past, I always wanted to keep things quiet, so when others bullied us, I chose to swallow my anger, thinking that less trouble is worse than more."
"I will never do this again. They say that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden. The ancients were right."
"Sister, I will protect you from now on and will not let what happened today happen again."
Tang Xiaotian raised his head again with a determined look.
Tang Xiaoli looked at her brother like this and suddenly felt sad.
"Well, I believe brother can do it!"
"I'm going to exercise from now on. If anyone bullies us again, I'll break their legs with a big stick."
The brother and sister looked at each other and shed tears of regret.
If I had known earlier, I would not have been a good person. I should have been the person that everyone fears.
Just like some women in the village, they are obviously less than 1.5 meters tall, but no one dares to provoke them.
Isn't it just that the woman has a hot temper, she dares to hit, scold and stand up.
When quarreling with neighbors, he would dare to chase others with an axe and chop them.
Only such top-notch products can subdue those spineless demons.
The brother and sister stayed in the mountains for a while and then returned home.
When the villagers saw that Tang Xiaotian was still alive, they all showed expressions of regret.
But in the afternoon, Lin Jianhua and his wife went up the mountain to chop firewood again. After finishing their work, they thought about going to the secret base to take a look.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the secret base had been renovated, and even the dilapidated wooden door had been replaced with an iron door.
The two of them found the key immediately, opened the iron door and saw the food inside.
"It seems that our daughter has been here. Wife, please come here quickly. Such a good thing cannot be wasted."
The big bone soup was already cold, but the two of them didn't say anything. They each filled a bowl and started eating.
Drink all the bone soup and chew the bones cleanly.
There was a piece of stewed meat left, so the two of them found a plastic bag, wrapped it up and took it back home.
As for the other food, the two of them put it all away and didn't take it all away at once.
If you put it here, you can fill your stomach when you go up the mountain every day. But if you take it home, you may not be able to eat it.
As for why they took the pork away, it was because they were worried that the smell would attract wild animals and then attract the attention of the villagers.
This way, you don’t have to cook when you get home at night.
Anyway, even if you cook it, it will be so thin that you can see your reflection in it.
Food has always been scarce for people in the cowshed, so it is normal for them to go without food occasionally.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The autumn harvest was approaching and every village and town became busy.
This time is different from usual.
Not only adults, but also the elderly and children joined in the battle.
The strong laborers harvested the crops in the fields and transported them to the threshing grounds, while the elderly and children were responsible for guarding and threshing the crops.
This time is not like usual. If you complete 10 work points, you will no longer get any work points.
As long as you have the strength, you can keep earning.
Of course, Lin Wanwan is not someone who would risk her life for work points. As usual, she left work early after completing 10 work points.
Because he had a good relationship with the village chief and Accountant Qian, no one said anything.
There is no point for the villagers to be envious. If one less person earns work points, they can earn two more.
Lin Wanwan watched everyone peeling corn by hand and thought of making a simple thresher.
So as soon as I came back from the fields in the afternoon, I borrowed the accountant's bicycle and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The main purpose was to pick up the mail, and the second was to send some local specialties to some friends in Beijing.
During this period, I sent some of the mushrooms I picked in the mountains, smoked bacon, smoked rabbit, smoked chicken, etc. to several good friends.
Not to mention pine nuts and peanuts.
In the end, everyone sent a large sack and also received a reply from their friend.
After picking up the letter, I went to the scrap yard and bought a piece of iron and the necessary materials.
The simple thresher has a very simple structure and the materials are easy to obtain.
Lin Wanwan collected everything in a flash, bought two packs of cigarettes, and went to the repair station to borrow their cutting machine and welding machine.
It took less than half an hour to make a small corn thresher.
I loaded the small corn thresher onto my bicycle and rode home.
After arriving home, Lin Wanwan took the thresher and went to the threshing ground.
"Everyone, work hard, and we will definitely be the honorary collective advanced brigade this year."
"What are you two talking about? Everyone else is working hard, but you're slacking off. Is that appropriate?"
"Hurry up over there, you're slacking off..."
"Uncle village chief, look what I brought back for you!" As soon as I got closer, I heard the village chief's loud voice directing the villagers to work.
Lin Wanwan's clear voice seemed particularly abrupt amid the furious urging.
The village chief immediately turned around and looked at what was in Lin Wanwan's hand, and the surrounding villagers also turned their attention.
"Lin Zhiqing, what are you carrying?"
The village chief could roughly guess that this should be a machine, but he couldn't tell what it was used for.
"This is a thresher, specially used for threshing corn."
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she carried the corn thresher to the corn field and placed the machine on the flat ground.
"Auntie, please lend me a seat."
I politely greeted the aunt next to me and borrowed a stool.
After sitting down properly, he picked up the corn on the ground, then turned the crank with one hand and stuffed the corn cob in with the other.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
After a series of crackling sounds, the corn kernels and corn cobs were separated and spit out from the other end.
"Huh?"
"This thing is amazingly useful, Lin Zhiqing, where did you get it from?"
Before the village chief could say anything, the aunt who borrowed the bench asked loudly.
The loud voice attracted all the attention from those around who were not paying attention to this side.
"I made this myself. It can thresh the grain quickly, saving everyone some energy and increasing the speed."
