“This incident is very serious. If it weren’t for the upcoming selection of advanced brigades, I would definitely have sent you two to the educated youth office to handle it!”
"Now, Liu Haiyan is to be punished by carrying manure for half a month, which is thirty work points. If anyone finds out that you are having an affair with another man, you will be handed over to the Revolutionary Committee. This matter will be supervised by the villagers and the educated youth in the educated youth compound!"
"Han Tiantian, Han Zhiqing, twenty work points deducted for participating in a fight! Given your good performance in the past, no other punishment will be imposed for now! If I find out again that you have beaten Liu Zhiqing without cause, then you will also be going to carry manure!"
"He Yousheng, this whole affair started because of you, so you bear some responsibility. I'm deducting thirty work points from you. Do you have any objections?"
The captain's gaze toward He Yousheng was sharp; don't think he couldn't see what wicked thoughts this kid was hiding.
If it weren't for the fact that they were stuck at the crucial moment of selecting an advanced brigade, the brigade leader wouldn't have chosen to let them off so easily.
"I have no objection!"
He Yousheng glanced at Han Tiantian, then stole a glance at Liu Haiyan, who was still slumped on the ground, sobbing.
"That educated youth He is really disgusting. Aunt Fang, I'm leaving now. Come visit me sometime!"
Even without seeing what happened next, Lin Xue could guess the outcome, so there was no need for her to stay.
I should go and finish the task of gathering pig feed as soon as possible, then go home and cook something nice for the kids.
Wang Yaqin is coming to teach her to read tonight, so she'll have to cook a couple more dishes.
If it doesn't concern me, I'll stay out of it.
Lin Xue quickly put those messy things at the educated youth compound behind her.
After delivering the pig feed and returning home, I saw that the old lady had already returned with her two children.
"Mancang Yating, where did your grandma take you to play? You two look so happy!"
Lin Xue walked over to the two children, patted their little heads, and gently asked them.
"Mom, Grandma took us to Second Grandma's house to play, and Second Grandma even gave us bunny-shaped cookies!"
Wang Mancang held up one finger, indicating that he had received a small cookie.
"Mom, Second Grandma gave me rooster-shaped biscuits!"
Wang Yating also held up one finger, indicating that she had also received a small cookie.
Did your second grandmother give you some cookies? Did you thank her?
Lin Xue wondered if she had overlooked something, since a small cookie could make the two children so happy.
What child doesn't love snacks?
But apart from the rice cakes she made herself, it seemed that she didn't have any snacks at home.
I've been so busy hunting in the mountains these past few days that I forgot to prepare these things.
"We thanked Grandma!"
Wang Yating earnestly assured Lin Xue.
"Yes, we said thank you!"
Wang Mancang nodded his little head, earnestly agreeing!
"Good boy/girl! When Mom catches another game, I'll make you jerky!"
"How about you share the dried meat with your older brothers and sisters at Second Grandma's house?"
Thinking about the few pheasants in her space, Lin Xue was considering whether to catch a wild boar or a roe deer.
When she used to read novels, she often saw people catching roe deer.
I wonder if the meat of this silly roe deer is tasty?
"good!"
"Grandma has cookies for us to eat, so we should also give our dried meat to Grandma!"
Wang Yating stretched out her little hand, fiddling with her fingers as she spoke to Lin Xue.
"Also, share some with Grandma's older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters!"
Wang Mancang remembered what his mother had said, so he immediately corrected his sister.
"If we give it all, each person can only receive a little bit!"
Wang Yating stretched out her index finger and thumb to make a gesture.
"It should be about the size of a cookie, but not too small!"
Wang Mancang also held up two fingers and gestured.
"Yes, Grandma says that people should give and receive, so we should give and receive in equal amounts!"
Wang Yating mentally recalled the size of the cookies.
I've decided to pick out the same size next time I give it to my second grandmother.
"Haha, so you guys actually know about give and take?"
"Since you two ate so many good things from your aunts' and uncles' houses, did you send some back to them as a token of your goodwill?"
Lin Xue was amused by the two children's innocent words; she hadn't expected her little girl to be so possessive of her food.
She hadn't forgotten how she had repeatedly shrank back when she was gesturing with those two fingers.
If it weren't for the fact that you can't tell the size by putting two fingertips together, this little girl probably would have pinched both fingers together.
Sigh, in the end, it's because my family is too poor.
Otherwise, why would the two children be so happy and still remember it so much after eating just two cookies?
It seems I need to find some time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative; we really should buy some more things for the house.
After playing with the two children, Lin Xue turned to Grandma Wang and started talking about the educated youth settlement.
"Oh, what a tragedy!"
"I never expected that He Zhiqing, who looks so clean and tidy, would actually be this kind of person. It really shows that you can't judge a book by its cover. He's the perfect example of a hypocrite."
After hearing Lin Xue's account, Old Mrs. Wang also felt ashamed of He Yousheng's behavior.
"Of course, the worst one is that Liu Zhiqing. Such a big girl did so many shameful things. I wonder if all the education she received in the past went to waste?"
"Before this, I heard from my best friend that this Liu Zhiqing was no good, she was a womanizer and corrupted the atmosphere of our brigade!"
