Chuchu's shout shocked not only the people in the village, but also Qin Lei's family, which lived closest to his home.
Qin Lei and Zhu Hongxia went to bed early. After waking up, they felt quite happy about the Qin family being robbed. After all, they didn't get to eat the meat from Qin Qingman's house, so it was even better that it was stolen.
As a result, after just muttering a few words, Qin Lei realized something was wrong.
It was cold in winter and firewood was limited, so it was impossible to light up every kang in the house. So when winter came, the five members of their family slept on one kang. Everyone had a blanket anyway. Qin Caiyun was a lady, so they just hung a small curtain at the end of the kang to block it for her. There was no embarrassment about it.
At this moment, Qin Lei suddenly felt that there was some space next to him.
Looking sideways, Qin Jianming and Qin Jianjun were not on the kang.
What were these two kids doing so late at night when they weren't at home sleeping? They couldn't go to the toilet together holding hands. Thinking of how these two kids usually ate too much, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately sat up.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Hongxia had been lying in bed every day to recuperate since she was injured. The more she lay in bed, the more she slept, and because of that she was not very sleepy. When she saw Qin Lei crawling up and sitting up, her sleepiness had gone long ago, and she even felt very energetic.
"Jianming and Jianjun are not at home." Qin Lei's forehead was sweating when he said this.
Because he had already heard the voice of the brigade secretary Zheng Anguo coming from Qin Qingman's yard.
Even though the brigade's discipline is under the jurisdiction of the security director, Zheng Anguo has great prestige in their village, and even the security director Qian Xiangyang has to listen to his words.
"What...what do you mean?" Zhu Hongxia heard Qin Lei's words clearly, but she really couldn't believe that the thieves caught in the Qin family were her two sons.
The punishment for thieves these days is severe. In mild cases, the whole village will criticize and educate them. In severe cases, they will be sent to a farm for labor reform. If they are really sent to the farm, the workload there is no less than working at home with the team and earning work points. It requires a lot of hard work.
More importantly, it has a bad reputation.
Zhu Hongxia was panicked at once. She shouted at the quiet bedside, "Caiyun, Caiyun."
In fact, Qin Caiyun had woken up a long time ago. She did not wake up when her parents were talking, but when Qin Jianming and his partner sneaked out to steal. She did not say a word after waking up, but just waited silently.
When her two younger brothers stole meat, she would have a bite. If they failed to steal and were caught, it had nothing to do with her.
Qin Caiyun, who was calculating with her abacus, had originally planned to pretend to be asleep, but Zhu Hongxia called her.
Helplessly, she could only sit up and pretend to be confused and replied: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Where are your two younger brothers?" Zhu Hongxia was very angry as soon as she opened her mouth.
Qin Caiyun rolled her eyes in her heart, but she pretended to be surprised and said, "Mom, I don't know. I just woke up."
"Are you dead? You are sleeping so soundly. You don't even know that your two younger brothers are missing. What's the point of giving birth to you? You can't help the family at all. Hurry up and help me up." Ever since Qin Caiyun was divorced by Liu Hechang, Zhu Hongxia also knew that it would be very difficult for a girl with a bad reputation to find a good family to marry.
Marrying her brought no help to the family and added an extra mouth to feed. She became more and more impatient with her daughter. If she hadn't been injured and unable to move, she would have wanted to quickly find someone to marry her off.
Qin Caiyun was almost injured internally by Zhu Hongxia's scolding.
Which of her two younger brothers listens to her? It seems like she can control both of them.
Although she complained in her heart, she finally swallowed her anger and got up to take care of Zhu Hongxia.
As for Qin Lei, after realizing that the culprits might be his two sons, he got up and started to put on his clothes.
He has to go get someone.
In the eyes of the world, those who undergo labor reform and those who do not undergo labor reform are viewed differently. This will have implications for their future work and marriage, and he absolutely cannot allow his two sons to undergo labor reform.
With a gloomy face, Qin Lei wrapped himself tightly and went out.
Because Qin Qingman's family had been robbed, the villagers all came running with their own lights. The spacious yard became brightly lit because of the lights. Qin Lei rushed into Qin Qingman's yard and saw the three people who had just been pulled out of the pit.
The figures of two of them are so familiar that I would recognize them even if they turned into ashes.
"Secretary Zheng, Director Qian, the two children are still young. We, as parents, have not educated them well. I beg you, please give them a chance to reform." For the sake of his two sons, Qin Lei no longer cared about his shame and knelt down in front of Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang.
This kneeling is truly full of sincerity.
Seeing Qin Lei rushing out and kneeling down, both Zheng Anguo and the villagers were shocked. Even Qin Jianming and Qin Jianjun, who were shivering with cold, burst into tears.
They seemed to have gotten into some serious trouble, otherwise his father wouldn't have knelt down in public.
On the side, Qin Shu, Qin Shi, and Jiang Linshan all had complicated expressions on their faces. They were the first to rush to the Qin family yard, and were also the first to recognize the thieves. The moment they recognized them, they hesitated whether to let them go.
While they were hesitating, villagers arrived one after another, and they were powerless even if they wanted to.
"Qin Lei, it's the father's fault if the son is not well educated. What are you doing kneeling down like that? It's really nonsense. He who who who who, pull him up." Zheng Anguo was really angry. He originally thought that these three thieves could just cover their faces and settle the matter in the village, and the villagers would turn a blind eye if they knew what was going on. But Qin Lei was mentally ill and did such a thing. He confessed his guilt in public, so how could he dare to show any partiality!
What a pig brain.
Now that’s good, maybe Kaoshantun will become famous in the brigade.
Zheng Anguo looked at Qin Lei with such anger that his liver ached.
There is a food shortage these days, and there are petty thefts in every village and town. Usually, if they are caught and there is no loss, the perpetrators are just given a lesson and the matter is over. After all, it is better to keep it secret than to expose it. Reputation is important at all times.
As a result, Qin Lei, this idiot, is really infuriating.
Zheng Anguo walked into Chuchu's living room with a gloomy face.
It was late at night, the weather was freezing cold, and even the trial could not be held outdoors. Standing for a few minutes longer would make the whole body numb.
When Qian Xiangyang saw Zheng Anguo entering Chuchu's house, he quickly called a few people to drag Qin Jianming and other offenders in. They were all frozen outside for two hours. If they were kept frozen any longer, not to mention being educated, they might be frozen to death.
Qin Shi and the other two were the first to arrive, and they were standing close to Qian Xiangyang, right within the range of the people Qian Xiangyang pointed out.
Dragging the three trembling guys, everyone entered Chuchu's house one by one.
Qin Lei stepped forward and knelt down. He had a role to play in this "lawsuit" and was taken into the house.
As for the other villagers in the village, Qian Xiangyang waved his hand and asked them to disperse.
It was winter, and not only was the vision obstructed, but the weather was also cold. Chuchu's home could not accommodate so many people to watch the fun, so everyone had to go home quickly, and not freeze to death, otherwise they would not be able to celebrate the New Year.
The villagers watched the excitement and acted within their means. They knew what was going on but didn't have to see the final outcome, so they all listened to the advice and went home.
But this time I probably won’t be able to sleep for several hours.
Such a big thing has never happened in their village. It doesn't matter which family has food, and it doesn't matter which family doesn't watch closely. If anyone's house is robbed, they will beat the thief to death with a stick. After all, no one's life is more important than the lives of their own family members.
"The Qin family is still lacking a man. Without a man, it's easy for them to be robbed."
Some people expressed their regret to their family members.
"Hasn't Qingman found a partner? Now that she has a partner, no one will dare to interfere with her family, right?"
Someone made a comment.
"So what if she has a partner? Qingman is a girl and will get married. When she does, her Chuchu is only five years old. How can a five-year-old child protect herself from thieves? Look, the Qin family will encounter something like what happened today sooner or later."
"Chu Chu is so young, Qingman will definitely take her with her when she gets married, right?" Some people didn't believe that Qin Qingman would abandon Chu Chu.
"Chu Chu is her mother's family. Which husband's family would be so generous as to take in an extra mouth? She would have to be fed for at least ten years. Which family would have spare food to do such a good deed? Look, after Qingman gets married, her Chu Chu will be schemed to death by those aunts in his family sooner or later."
"Don't say such unlucky words. Qingman can't ignore Chuchu. Besides, the man she's dating is a soldier. It's said that he's a regiment commander. It's not difficult for such a high-ranking official to feed another mouth."
"That's right. Look at the widow in our village. After her son joined the army, her family became well-off. They have enough food and drink, and their life is much better than ours."
"What do you know, old woman? Qingman found a capable man, but doesn't he have any family? Are his family willing to raise a brother-in-law? Besides, what if Qingman has a child? Qingman doesn't have a job, so she and the child have to rely on the man to raise them. It's okay to raise your own child, but raising someone else for a long time, how can a man not be biased?"
"You're right. The older generation always said that having more children means more blessings. In our village, every family has few children because we don't have enough food and don't dare to raise more. If conditions permit, we will definitely have six or seven children. The better the family background of Qingman's partner, the more children they may have. Having many children is a blessing."
"So, after Qingman got married, Chuchu's life became difficult."
…
Chu Chu had no idea that the people in the village were concerned about his future life behind his back. At this moment, he was sitting next to Zheng Anguo with a frown on his face, and the two geese were making noises in a corner of the room.
The two geese were both nervous and dissatisfied with so many strangers coming to their house all of a sudden.
Looking at the two ferocious geese from Chuchu's family, everyone in the hall fixed their eyes on Qin Jianming and his brother.
These two people had been pecked badly by geese before.
Even the cotton-padded jackets they are wearing now can show how brutal the battle was. Because the two geese were protecting their master, the cotton-padded jackets of the Qin Jianming brothers had many holes pecked in them, and some of the cotton in the interlayers leaked out. After sewing them up, one can still see how fierce the two geese were.
After suffering such a loss, he still dared to come to the Qin family to steal meat. He really doesn't know how to live or die.
Zheng Anguo glared at Qin Jianjun and his men for a long time, until they were frightened to the point of paralysis, and then he moved his gaze to Chuchu's face.
As his gaze shifted, Zheng Anguo adjusted his facial expression.
He asked Chu Chu in a relatively gentle manner: "Chu Chu, was the pit in your house dug by Wei Ling?" A pit of that depth could not be dug by an ordinary person. The only person he could think of was Wei Ling, who was a military man.
Chu Chu actually knows nothing.
But he knew that the deep pit protected his family's meat, so he nodded resentfully.
Seeing Chu Chu nod, everyone in the hall was amazed at Wei Ling's prowess.
This pit definitely didn't exist for a long time, because Wei Ling has only appeared in their Kaoshan Village in the past few days. But to be able to dig a pit of such depth and width in just a few days, his ability is much better than that of ordinary people.
In places where the ice and snow period lasts for half a year, the permafrost layer under the snow has long been as hard as rock.
Zheng Anguo and the others had to admire Wei Ling for being able to dig such a pit in such a place within a few days.
It seems that the military is stronger than they thought.
There were many people standing in Chuchu's living room, but since Zheng Anguo didn't speak, everyone remained silent.
Zheng Anguo looked at Chuchu's innocent face and was unable to say many things. The child was so young that he couldn't discuss anything with her. After thinking for a while, he could only ask, "Chuchu, when will your sister come back?"
The matter of Qin Jianjun and his men stealing from the Qin family could be a big deal or a small one, depending on the attitude of the parties involved.
When the others heard Zheng Anguo asking Qin Qingman, they immediately understood what was going on, except for Qin Lei's family, who looked unhappy.
Qin Qingman had drawn a line between herself and their family before. Now that she has fallen into their hands again, it can be said that it is a new grudge and an old hatred. It would be good enough if she does not retaliate. How can she not take advantage of the handle that has been delivered to her door?
Qin Lei looked at Zheng Anguo anxiously, trying to express his opinion.
"Shut up. Don't speak unless you are asked."
There were not many people in the room at the moment. Zheng Anguo saw Qin Lei's expression at a glance. He was worried that he would say or do something that would embarrass him, so he simply told him to shut up.
Qin Lei was so frightened by the roar that he dared not do it again.
The two brothers Liu Sangunzi and Qin Jianming, who had been frozen in the pit for a long time, finally recovered in the warm room. The three of them had snot dripping from their noses.
Facing Zheng Anguo, they didn't dare to wipe their noses at all and could only let the snot flow down.
Chuchu couldn't stand it anymore.
His family loves cleanliness, so how could they tolerate these people's snot falling in their home, so the child stood up and said to Zheng Anguo: "Secretary Uncle, my sister is not at home, can you go to another house? I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Zheng Anguo then realized that it was inappropriate for them to stay in the Qin family at this time.
Standing up, Zheng Anguo said to Chuchu with a cheerful face: "I didn't think it through. Let's wait until your sister comes back to deal with this matter. Go to bed early and close the doors and windows at home to avoid freezing."
"good."
Chuchu obediently escorted the person out the door.
It just so happened that Liu Sangunzi and the other two didn't let their snot fall to the ground.
After closing the gate, Chuchu took the oil lamp and went to the toilet. He was in such a hurry to catch the thief that he didn't have time to pee.
The urine that had been held for a long time finally flowed out.
After going to the toilet, Chuchu returned to her room carefully.
Passing by the well, he couldn't help but stick his head out to take a look at the deep pit. It was so deep and so smooth. His brother-in-law was so amazing.
With worship of the toilet, the child washed his hands after going to the toilet and crawled into the quilt.
The quilt did not become cold because no one was in it. The temperature of the kang surface kept it warm, which allowed Chuchu to fall asleep soundly after she got into bed.
Before the thief was caught, he was worried that someone would covet the meat at home. But after seeing the deep pit, the child no longer had any worries at all.
He believed that there were more such scams in his yard, and he also believed that the scene of killing a chicken to scare the monkey tonight had frightened others, and no one would dare to steal his meat again.
With such confidence, the child slept till dawn.
Chuchu slept soundly at home, but Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang were having a headache.
After leaving the Qin family, we must have a place to deal with the three offenders. This is a public matter and we definitely cannot go to anyone's house to handle it.
"Secretary, why don't we go to the educated youth training center?" Qian Xiangyang suggested to Zheng Anguo.
There is also a center for educated youth in their village, but it has not been used for a long time and no educated youth have been sent there for a long time, so it has become abandoned. However, the center has all the facilities and can be heated by heating the fire room, but there is no firewood at the moment.
"Get firewood from Qin Lei and Liu Jun's homes."
Zheng Anguo had to think about how to deal with Qin Jianming and others late at night. He was very angry. When he heard that the educated youth had no firewood, he spoke directly.
The brigade secretary has spoken, so the matter must be settled.
Qin Lei didn't dare to say that his family didn't provide firewood. He had two sons. If the educated youth's site didn't have a fire, the two children would definitely freeze to death, and if they did, there would be two less laborers.
Qin Shu and Qin Shi were also very disappointed with Qin Jianming's two nephews.
But seeing Qin Lei's spirit and energy suddenly reduced a lot, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable, and when they went to fetch firewood, they each took some from their own homes.
Despite all the noise, the relationship between the families is still good.
When Yao Chunying and Li Meina found out, they didn't say anything unpleasant, but just scolded the Qin Jianming brothers harshly for being so disappointing.
Why learn to steal when there are so many things to learn?
Not only did he steal, but he was caught in the act. He is really bad at nothing.
Muttering to themselves, Yao Chunying and Li Meina did not wait for their husbands to come home, but fell asleep peacefully on the kang.
It's none of their business, there's no need for them to get anxious and angry.
The educated youth site, which had not been visited for a long time, was not only cold but also a little remote. Everyone was waiting for the person carrying firewood to come back.
"Secretary, Director, we are wrong. Can you please forgive us?"
Qin Jianjun wiped the icy snot under his nose and couldn't help but plead with Zheng Anguo. Although they went to Qin's house, they didn't steal any meat and were in such a miserable state. Could he please forgive them once considering their miserable state?
"Spared you?"
Zheng Anguo looked at Qin Jianjun and the other two with cold eyes.
"Yes... yes, Secretary, we were wrong. We really know we were wrong. We will never do it again. I swear." Qin Jianjun felt that there was a way, so he quickly admitted his mistake honestly.
"What were you doing this morning?"
Facing several people who were causing trouble for him, Zheng Anguo couldn't control his anger, so he simply gave each of them a big kick.
Even though he is over 50 years old, he has a good physique and physical strength. This kick directly knocked Qin Jianming and the other two to the ground in the snow. It took Jiang Linshan to help pull them out. It can be seen how angry Zheng Anguo was.
"Secretary, calm down. It's not worth getting angry with these three guys."
Qian Xiangyang saw that Zheng Anguo was really angry, so he hurried to persuade him.
At this time, Qin Shu and his friends had just returned with some firewood, and everyone worked together to start a fire.
With the fire, the temperature in the room gradually rose and everyone felt a little better.
"Hang these three guys up for me." Zheng Anguo pointed at the beam and announced the punishment for Qin Jianjun and the other two.
"Secretary Zheng, I was wrong." Qin Jianjun's tears instantly fell.
He was scared, very scared.
Although he was only fourteen years old, he had seen how the brigade persecuted the stinking ninth class and the capitalists, and knew how miserable it was to be hung up.
"Shut their mouths." Zheng Anguo didn't want to listen to those people's complaints at all.
Zheng Anguo has high prestige in the village. Even if Qin Shu and Qin Shi still don't want to take action because of their blood ties, there are many villagers who are willing to obey.
So no matter how Qin Jianjun and his two companions struggled, they were eventually tied up and hung from the beam.
Qin Lei was angry and anxious, and he fell down with his eyes rolled back in anger.
"Hey...you, wake up."
Qin Shi just happened to see Qin Lei fainting, so he caught the fist. After catching it, he thought about the issue of addressing. The conflict between the two families before was not small, and they had both said harsh words to each other.
"Fourth brother, you have to help second brother. I only have two children."
Qin Lei breathed a sigh of relief after being comforted by Qin Shi, and he no longer felt dizzy, but he felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and tears and snot flowed. At this time, he only had two sons in his eyes, and he chose to forget that they would marry and become daughters of other families sooner or later.
Qin Shi was in a dilemma.
Everyone can see how angry the secretary and the director are. It doesn't mean that they are complaining that their lives are too good if they get involved at this time.
He was embarrassed and had to quietly remind Qin Lei, "The key to this matter lies with Qingman. Qingman's status is different now. Even the secretary and the director have to give her some face."
He was telling the truth.
In the past, the Qin family didn't suffer any losses, and the secretary and his men would have compensated Qin Qingman at most for the sake of the overall situation. It would definitely not be as difficult as it is now.
Because Qin Qingman already has a partner.
The targets are regimental-level soldiers in the army.
Even Zheng Anguo, the brigade secretary, cannot act rudely in front of such a person.
Qin Lei finally understood the root of the problem after hearing these words.
Wiping the snot off his face with his sleeve, Qin Lei knew what to do and who to ask for help, but he also had to show his attitude.
After taking one look at his two sons who were hung up and begging on their knees for a long time, he was filled with rage. He pulled out a stick from the firewood pile and hit the two rebellious sons with it.
Instead of letting others beat the two children, it would be better for him to do it himself.
Qin Lei's whipping force was not light, so Qin Jianjun's eyes widened and his back felt burning with pain after one blow.
His father really beat him.
A beating that could kill you!
But why was he the first one to be beaten? He was the youngest. Shouldn’t the older brother Qin Jianming be beaten first?
With surprise and confusion, the gagged Qin Jianjun looked at Qin Lei with something wrong in his eyes.
"Rebellious son, I let you steal because we are short of food or clothes for you. It's just meat. You won't die if you eat less. That's how I teach you. Don't take things that are not yours. You just ignored me, didn't you? Well, since you dare to commit crimes, I will beat you two beasts to death."
The more Qin Lei cursed, the angrier he became, and the force with which he swung the stick in his hand grew stronger.
This time when he hit them, the stick not only fell on Qin Jianjun, but also on Qin Jianming, but more importantly, it fell on Liu Sangunzi.
Since three people committed the crime, it is these three who should be beaten.
Liu Sangunzi never expected that he would be beaten by Qin Lei.
He was stunned for only a second before he struggled hard. Why did they hit him? He would accept the punishment even if he was caught. But the secretary didn't say to hit him, so why did Qin Lei hit him? If he could hit him, then he would hit him. But he didn't treat him equally. He didn't accept it.
Not convinced.
Liu Sangunzi, who was dissatisfied, had his mouth blocked, but his feet were not tied.
His body temperature had returned to normal, and he kicked Qin Lei with both feet.
Qin Lei was totally unprepared and was kicked directly. Or maybe he never thought that Liu Sangunzi would dare to resist, so most of his kicks hit Liu Sangunzi.
After all, whose son it is, who feels sorry for him.
No matter how screwed up his two sons are, they are still Qin Lei's children.
As a result, the defenseless Qin Lei was kicked into the fire by the furious Liu Sangun. The fire in the fire was already very big because it was too cold, and the flames were very high. When Qin Lei fell over, not only his cotton coat was damaged, but even his hair was instantly burned to ashes.
Suddenly, the room was filled with the unpleasant smell of burnt hair.
The onlookers reacted quickly. As soon as Qin Lei was kicked into the fire, someone rushed out to rescue him. But even so, Qin Lei's hat could not be saved, most of his hair was burnt, and his whole face was blackened by smoke.
This unexpected change made the resettlement site for educated youth extremely quiet.
Qin Lei stared at Liu Sangunzi blankly, while the others secretly glanced at Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang.
Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang looked very unhappy.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Liu Sangunzi simply fought even harder.
He has something to say.
"Take the straw out of his mouth." Zheng Anguo saw that Liu Sangunzi had something to say, so he simply ordered Jiang Linshan's soldiers.
Jiang Linshan quickly took the thing out of Liu Sangunzi's mouth.
"Fuck you, Qin Lei. No matter how bad I am, I will accept the secretary's discipline. At least the secretary is fair and just. You, a piece of shit, hit me with eight out of ten sticks. Do you think I can't resist just because I'm gagged? Bah, your two sons are as bad as you. The top beam is not straight, and the bottom beam is crooked."
As soon as the thing in Liu Sangunzi's mouth was taken out, he opened his mouth and sprayed it towards Qin Lei.
"You dog, you are so protective of your son. I don't accept it. I am not the only one who stole meat from the Qin family. Why should I bear most of the punishment? I don't accept it. Go away, old man."
"Liu Jun, speak nicely. If no one teaches you, I will teach you on behalf of your parents."
Liu Sangun offended several people who were related to him by blood just by opening his mouth, and even Jiang Linshan's face was not very happy.
The wife he married is from the Qin family. If you insult the Qin family's bloodline, you are insulting him as well.
Seeing Qin Shi and Qin Shu both coming forward, Liu Sangunzi shrank his neck and muttered loudly in dissatisfaction, "Anyway, I just don't accept Qin Lei. If he continues to fight like that, he will break my legs."
Qin Shu and his friends had seen Qin Lei's little tricks before, and thought it was better to keep out of trouble, so they ignored it. But now that Liu Sangun had started to yell, it was difficult for them to take sides.
I dare not take sides.
So everyone's eyes turned to the faces of Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang.
"Fifty blows with the stick for each man, and General Liu will be beaten twenty times." Zheng Anguo knew what was going on and gave the order directly.
This made Liu Sangunzi satisfied.
The Qin Jianming brothers suffered a lot.
Being beaten by an outsider and being beaten by your own father are two completely different forces.
As much as Qin Jianjun had resented Qin Lei before, he now wished that it was Qin Lei who beat them. At least Qin Lei's beating seemed fierce and brutal, but he would lift them up high and put them down gently. It was different for outsiders. Under the supervision of the secretary and the director of public security, they would really beat them to death.
After the punishment was carried out, the three people hanging were sweating profusely, their breathing was weak, and their whole bodies were in terrible pain.
I guess my entire back is bruised.
"Take him down and lock him up here first. We'll deal with him after Qin Qingman comes back." Zheng Anguo appointed a few people to guard him, and he and Qian Xiangyang went out and went home.
After all this trouble, there are only a few hours left until dawn.
Walking on the cold and quiet road, Qian Xiangyang thought for a moment before asking, "Secretary, are you not going to send these two people to the farm?"
"Um."
Zheng Anguo admitted his selfish motives.
His selfish motive was not for the three useless people like Liu Sangunzi, but mainly for the reputation of Kaoshantun.
They have had a good reputation in Kaoshantun in recent years, and it cannot be ruined by these three people.
Qian Xiangyang glanced at Zheng Anguo and said, "Are you worried that Qingman won't let it go?"
With a sigh, Zheng Anguo looked at the dark night sky, and after a while he said, "Things are different now. We can no longer look at people with old eyes. We have to respect Qingman. They really need to ask Qingman for her opinion on how to deal with Qin Jianjun."
"I think Qingman is quite sensible and will definitely understand our difficulties."
Qian Xiangyang didn't want a typical petty thief to appear in the village.
Their village had a good reputation for so many years, and was commended every year by the township, county, and even the province. He and the secretary were also recognized as advanced workers every year. There were so many benefits from putting their work into practice that every year they even had more food left in their village than other villages.
These grains may not seem like much when distributed to each household, but they are the key to every household surviving and not starving to death.
Zheng Anguo knew that Qian Xiangyang had the same idea as himself. Now he just needed to see how to make Qin Qingman back down. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Is the deadline for the director of women's affairs coming soon?"
Hearing the song and understanding the elegant meaning, Qian Xiangyang instantly understood Zheng Anguo's thoughts.
This was exactly what he had considered before. "Secretary, if Qingman didn't have a date, the position of Director of Women's Affairs would not be suitable for her. But now it is very suitable for her. I believe that she will understand the painstaking efforts of others after she enters the job."
"Yes, don't underestimate us, but we do have a lot of issues to consider."
Zheng Anguo sighed and parted ways with Qian Xiangyang.
The two people's homes are not in the same place.
Qin Qingman, who was in the mountains with Wei Ling, had no idea that the position of the next women's director of the brigade had already fallen on her. At this time, she was soaking in the refreshing hot spring in the lake with Wei Ling.
The water temperature is comfortable and it opens up all the pores on your body.
All fatigue also disappears.
The empty mountains were very quiet. From time to time, one could hear some movements coming from the forest. These were all normal sounds of nature. Qin Qingman felt at ease as long as she thought that the powerful Wei Ling was not far away.
The long hair was wrapped in a towel to avoid getting wet.
The lake water contains sulfur, which has an impact on hair quality. Besides, it would be painful if your hair gets wet late at night and cannot be dried.
So Qin Qingman didn't plan to wash her hair.
Fortunately, her hair is not oily in winter.
Qin Qingman rubbed her body confidently while splashing water. A hot spring bath was rare, so she had to enjoy it.
In the distance, Wei Ling could clearly hear the sound of Qin Qingman splashing water.
Every sound of splashing water was a torture to him, an unspeakable torture. He now understood why his friends from his previous life didn't like to go out after they got married. After marrying a wife that satisfied him, who would still care about the outside world?
"ah!"
Just when Wei Ling was distracted, Qin Qingman's short scream suddenly came.
“Qingman!”
His body was faster than his brain. Wei Ling kicked off and swam towards Qin Qingman like an arrow. The entire terrain of the lake was in his mind. Even without using his eyes, he could find Qin Qingman accurately.
"Don't come over here."
Qin Qingman spoke at a very timely moment, but no matter how timely she was, she was not as fast as the impatient Wei Ling.
Almost when Qin Qingman's voice stopped, Wei Ling was only two or three meters away from her. At such a close distance, even though it was dark enough, he could still vaguely see the other person's figure.
Wei Ling's figure stopped almost instantly and he turned his back.
In a startled glance, he saw Qin Qingman's body clearly.
