The old captain glanced at Uncle Zhang, smiled nonchalantly, and waved his hand, "It's okay, go back and ask your grandma to cook a couple more dishes, and then we'll go to your house for a drink."
"Your house should have a bar?" He asked Tongsuo specifically.
"No, my second grandfather has it."
The old captain laughed happily, "Good boy, this task is handed over to you! Okay, let's continue the meeting."
Everyone who entered the house and sat down began to discuss the land that the production team already had, and then began to talk about whether trees should be planted on the northern slope of the mountain.
In recent years, any wasteland in the village has either been used to build houses or reclaimed for growing crops and vegetables. Now, in addition to the rough walking path, even the sides of the village entrance are planted with rows of trees.
It takes one year to grow crops, ten years to plant trees, and a hundred years to educate people.
After a long period of training, the old captain had always been obsessed with planting more trees. Seeing the younger generation in the village growing up, whether it was getting married or buying new houses or dowries, everything depended on wood. Rather than letting them cause trouble in the future, it was better to prepare in advance.
If he weren't cutting off his tail everywhere, he would have wanted to plant fruit trees on the northern slope of the mountain, and then the team would have built a chicken farm, a sheep farm or something there. How great that would be.
What a pity... Then let's plant some trees. Now there will be no one nagging or giving us advice.
"Do you think our team should draw some slogans or something?" After discussing the team's tasks for the new year, Tang Zhonghua began to mention some small details in front of him.
The old team leader had no objection to this. He thought that putting up a few more red posters would make it look festive. Didn’t you see that the streets and alleys in the county were all covered with them? Their Zhangjia Village was also an advanced production team.
He smiled in agreement and said, "That's a good idea. Go see who in the village is suitable... Oh, those educated youth should be able to do the job."
Tang Zhonghua also had this idea. Compared with the young men in the village, those ambitious young students from big cities knew better what to write to comply with the policy.
The meeting here is coming to an end.
And Father Zhang did come to the village today.
The younger generation who had been away for a long time had returned home, and it was time for him to come over and report their safety, and by the way, deliver the two bottles of wine and cakes that his eldest son had asked his grandson to bring back to his two brothers' homes.
If it weren't for the fact that his brothers had been away for so long, the news couldn't be concealed, and he really didn't want to let the villagers know. But the news had spread, and the children had returned. If he didn't come this time, his eldest brother would probably think too much.
The sky was still gloomy and snow was falling. The wind was blowing very hard, and the snowflakes were blowing on people's faces, causing pain. They were unaware that they had a runny nose.
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Zhang's father knew that it would be impossible to leave as it was getting late in the evening, so he chatted with Uncle Zhang for a few words, said goodbye and returned to the county town.
As the days go by, a new semester is about to begin. As the young students from various schools who have traveled far away are full of energy, the scenes they see and hear in the big cities are replicated in their hometowns.
Everywhere they went, red flags and portraits were held high, slogans were shouted loudly, and large badges were worn on their chests. Today someone was paraded through the streets, and tomorrow someone was being shattered.
These people wore huge badges, some of which were as large as twelve centimeters in diameter. They were so heavy that they could not be pinned to clothes with pins and could only be hung around the neck with red silk.
This badge was originally designed and manufactured by some wealthy organizations to show their loyalty. At first, the size of the badge was reasonable.
After the spring when flowers bloom, the hot summer arrives, and unsurprisingly, even this county town that cannot be found on the map is caught up in a frenzy.
The rumors were getting louder and louder, even Zhang's mother, who always had a smile on her face and a loud laugh, had to restrain her expression, not to mention Lin Juhua, who loved gossip and hanging out in crowded places.
The Zhang family was eager to stay away from trouble. Even the younger generations who were reminded by Zhang Guoqing learned to fight with words and hide their shortcomings.
But the accident still happened...
In the bedroom, Huang Cuilan's eyes were red and swollen, and she was crying breathlessly. She kept looking at her mother-in-law who came to visit her.
Zhang's mother was helpless. What was she supposed to say? Was she going to turn her back on her own children and stand up for her in-laws?
Besides, what kind of reputation is that? Does the Zhang family still have any shame? She still has a lot of grandchildren who haven't started their own families yet.
Lin Juhua looked at her sister-in-law with dissatisfaction. Your mother's family is your family, but isn't your husband's family also your family? Why do the Zhang family live so cautiously?
Yes, something happened to the Huang family again this time, and it was a scandal that was immoral. Huang Cuilan's eldest niece from her mother's side was caught having an affair.
If Zhou Jiao were present, she would have lost her composure. Who could have expected such a round-faced girl to be so bold?
Being a slut, what a rare reputation, how can you get involved in it? Are you saying that your niece was raped in order to get a permanent job? Who would believe it?
"Sister-in-law, stop crying. Tell me what you want to do first. Our Maimiao has a cousin like this. Have you thought about how she will find a partner in the future?"
Lin Juhua was very angry at the moment! Crying should be useful. There are so many people crying in this world.
"I don't know what to do either. I don't even dare go to my parents' house. My brother's out driving and hasn't come back yet..."
There was a bang outside, and Mai Miao pushed the door open first. "Grandma, my grandpa and my uncle have severed ties with that man. Mom, don't worry, my grandpa's family is fine."
Huang Cuilan stood up and grabbed her, "Who told you that?"
Mai Miao frowned, endured the severe pain in her wrist, and supported her with her other hand. "My second uncle has been asking for information. I just came back from him."
Lin Juhua felt relieved. This was great. She had never expected that the Huang family would be the first to distance themselves from the matter. Then she immediately realized that this was not surprising at all. The Huang family would not sacrifice their entire family for a daughter.
Mother Zhang patted her eldest daughter-in-law, pulled her granddaughter's hand away, and touched her head lovingly. She didn't want to scold her daughter-in-law at this moment, as she probably would have said nothing.
Mai Miao gave her a flattering smile and changed the subject, "Grandma, you probably haven't guessed who reported it. My second uncle didn't tell me about this, but I overheard a few words."
When Zhang's mother heard this, she asked curiously, "Who is it?"
"My eldest cousin's wife."
Huang Cuilan cried out, "How could this be?"
Unfortunately, Zhang's mother and Lin Juhua ignored her and waited quietly for Mai Miao to speak.
"She said that my cousin's wife had a miscarriage last time because of something she ate..."
Zhang's mother immediately waved her hand to stop her granddaughter from saying such dirty things.
It was just some of those bastards in their arms who were trying to have an abortion and were accidentally eaten. She hadn't wanted to hear about her mother's family's troubles before, and she didn't want to hear about it now.
My in-laws must have committed sins in their previous life, and now they are so old, they still have to suffer a blow.
"how so?"
Mother Zhang glared at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Alright! I don't object to you going to your parents' home to see them, but you need to wake up first and know what you can and cannot say."
As she spoke, she frowned and said, "I'll clean you up completely. If someone doesn't know, they'll think something happened to our family. It's bad luck."
