Chapter 74 Sixties Chronicle 34
The news that Feng Wu rescued the child was not spread. Except for a few people who were present at the time, everyone thought that the child was lucky and survived on his own.
Feng Wu also refused the generous gift from the deputy director and his wife, and told them not to send anything in the future, as this was her duty. At the same time, she also hoped that they would keep her rescue this time a secret and not tell anyone.
Although Li Shengli didn't quite understand, he still had to listen to his benefactor. Since it was not convenient to give him gifts in a high-profile manner, he asked his wife to secretly send him some food every now and then.
He has already sent his parents and eldest brother back to his hometown. After something like this happened, his family didn't dare to stay here any longer.
Especially the donkey eggs and cow eggs from the eldest brother's family. It was these two children who instigated Xiaoshuan to go to the reed marsh to find pheasants for them, which almost killed his son.
In his heart, his biological sons are of course more important than his nephews, so no matter how the two children from his eldest brother's family cried, he did not show any mercy and sent them away directly.
Only after he sent the person away did his wife start to look good to him.
By the end of April, the most tiring spring sowing officially began.
More than 200 people from the first squadron were assigned to cultivate paddy fields. They were allowed to sow seeds one acre at a time on the more than 10,000 acres of paddy fields along Lake Wuci.
Because it was new land, we had to build ridges before planting the paddy fields. The muddy ponds could be as large as three to five acres, so the ridges needed to be high and wide enough for people to walk on.
The days in H Province are particularly long in spring. The sun comes out around three o'clock in the morning and does not set until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
In order to catch up with the schedule and rush to plant and sow, more than 200 people started working in the fields at around three o'clock in the morning and did not finish work until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
When it comes to sowing time, if the assigned tasks are not completed, work cannot be finished even at nine o'clock in the evening.
Gao Nanting grew up in a compound and had hardly suffered any hardship. When he was building the dam around Lake Wuci, he often got big blisters on his hands.
Later, the blood blisters slowly turned into hard calluses, and the man's body became stronger due to the high-intensity labor.
The reason why its body is so strong is entirely because Fengwu feeds it well.
Gao Nanting has been waiting for news from Beijing for several months, and he is not sure whether he can find the person from that time?
The fact that he couldn't get any news always made him feel inexplicably anxious, especially this time when his girlfriend suddenly left the farm and returned to Beijing, and he could only watch helplessly, unable to be with her and protect her at all times.
This made him extremely frustrated.
Although he did not regret following his grandfather to the farm in such an extreme way, if he could do it again, he would choose a gentler approach.
In the frozen pool, everyone walked barefoot into the water. Every step would break the thin layer of ice. The thin ice could not withstand the force of the feet, and they would step on the frozen soil under the mud.
At the beginning, everyone's feet were so cold and painful that they could not bear it. After working for a while, they had to jump onto the edge of the field. After their frozen and numb feet warmed up a little, they continued to work in the fields.
All I can say is that human endurance is infinite. After being frozen for a few days, even the most delicate feet will gradually adapt.
"Why are you slacking off on the ridge again? You've been here six or seven times already. Hurry up and go to the fields to work. If you don't finish the work, your class will be held back because of you again today." The instructor stood on the shore, pointing at Song Jingtong and yelling.
"Report, I really feel uncomfortable. My body is hot and cold. It's so uncomfortable!" Song Jingtong's face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, and his lips were white.
The warden frowned. He looked down upon this weak scholar, not caring whether Song Jingtong was truly ill or not. "No, you must go to the fields. You only need to hold on for three more hours and you can leave. If you drag your feet and slack off, you will be sentenced to an additional five years."
Song Jingtong was silent for a moment, just bent his body and nodded. There were small bloody cuts on the back of his feet caused by the broken ice flakes. He gritted his teeth and was about to go down when he heard a familiar report.
"Officer, I see this inmate isn't feeling well. To avoid delaying his work, I'd like to offer my shoes."
The disciplinarian raised an eyebrow, "Oh, since you're so generous, I have no objection."
Gao Nanting supported Song Jingtong, who was almost unable to stand, and whispered, "Uncle Song, how are you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I wore your shoes. What about you? You are still young. Don't get frostbite. I will be fine if I bear with it." Song Jingtong's breathing was heavy, and Gao Nanting's brows were furrowed with worry.
"No, Uncle Song, you can't do anything like this."
"Report, warden, this inmate is very ill. I suggest we go to the health station. If the prisoner has any accident due to illness, I believe the warden will also be responsible, right?" Gao Nanting walked to the gloomy-faced warden and whispered.
"Tsk, what do you mean? Threatening me?" What the warden disliked most were those prisoners who thought they were tough as nails.
"Report to the warden, I'm just reporting the situation truthfully, not making any threats. After all, the country isn't trying to kill us. The warden can't have more power than the country!"
"Haha, you actually openly resisted the instructor. I'm going to put you in solitary confinement!" He didn't expect that someone would dare to ignore him on the spot. These five black categories of elements would not behave themselves obediently unless they learned a lesson.
Gao Nanting knew that today's matter would not end well, so he quietly took off his shoes and gave them to Song Jingtong, and whispered to comfort him, "Uncle Song, don't worry, you will only be locked up for a few days. If you really can't stand it, just pretend to faint." Anyway, he had acquaintances at the health station.
Gao Nanting was quickly taken away by two disciplinary officers, one on the left and one on the right.
Song Jingtong closed his eyes in pain, and his back teeth clenched with a creaking sound.
Sun Qi watched his brother being taken away, but he could do nothing. He could only quietly approach Song Jingtong while they were working and help him share most of the work.
After all, this man is his brother Ting's future father-in-law, so he has to take good care of him!
Feng Wu was still unaware of the conflict that had occurred on the prisoners' side, and there was an uninvited guest sitting opposite her.
Wang Cuiju, the wife of the director of Jiufen Field, and her eldest daughter Quan Hongmian were looking at Fengwu with arrogance.
He seemed to have no idea why his beloved son/brother would be so obsessed with a girl from Beijing.
This girl, what a beauty!
It looks pretty good!
But can good looks be enough to make a living?
Looking at her skinny chicken-like appearance, her big smoke bombs can be blown away.
With a small butt, can he give birth to children for their Yonghui?
Wang Cuiju compared them one by one, but none of them made her feel satisfied.
If they really marry a daughter-in-law like this, how can their family be well?
But when she thought about her son who was on a hunger strike and wanted to commit suicide because of Nurse Song, how could she persuade her stubborn son even if she was unwilling?
"Aunt Wang, Comrade Quan, is there anything you want to talk to me about? I'm still working." Get out of here now, my fists are itching!
As an elder, Wang Cuiju naturally would not speak to the younger generation to give in, and her eyes fell on her eldest daughter.
Quan Hongmian nodded in understanding and explained the purpose of their visit. "Well, my brother Quan Yonghui, the head of the logistics department, has a good impression of you, Comrade Song. We..."
"Stop, stop, stop, what are you talking about? I'm in a relationship, how could I possibly have an improper relationship with someone else? I've already rejected Section Chief Quan. I thought he'd give up if he knew I was in a relationship."
Wang Cuiju and Quan Hongmian said almost in unison: "Are you dating?"
How fresh!
Are you so surprised that I have a partner?
