Ruan Tang covered the tractor head with a sack before preparing to leave.
As soon as I left the threshing ground, I saw Qu Yuli and Pang Peng arguing.
During the Lunar New Year, she heard from a male educated youth that Pang Peng and Qu Li had bought an empty yard in the village and planned to move there after finishing the spring plowing. They had already agreed not to get married now but would do so after returning to the city.
"What I despise most about you is your lack of ambition! Some of them can't even write their own names and yet they're still trying to get a job, and you're just farming! Is it important for you to earn those eight or ten work points to have a decent job?"
Qu Yuli was shouting hysterically, and Pang Peng lowered his head with a sad expression.
"I told you, my dad was killed by a tractor. I never want to touch a tractor again in my life."
Qu Yuli shook her head in disappointment. "Listen to what you're saying. You never want to touch a tractor in your life. Do you know how long this life is? I've been here for three years, and it feels like I've lived three lifetimes. Picking up cow dung every day, working in the fields every day, living like neither a human nor a ghost! I don't want to go on like this anymore."
Pang Peng tried to comfort Qu Yuli, "I have already asked Secretary Hu to register for the pedicure position. I believe there is a high probability that I will be accepted."
"A pedicurist is also a farmer. How can he be compared to a worker? Even if you become a pedicurist, can you work in a hospital? You still have to squat in the fields every day."
Seeing she couldn't persuade Pang Peng, Qu Yuli simply made a harsh statement. "I'm definitely going back to the city. I'm determined to get a spot at the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University this year. If you can't become a worker, then we'll break up."
After Qu Yuanli finished speaking, Pang Peng stood there dejectedly.
Ruan Tang still remembered that in her previous life, until the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was abolished, the village did not recommend a single educated youth to go to university.
Although this world is different, Du Xueqing is still the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Xu Xu has no reason to give up his daughter-in-law and instead recommends Qu Xueli to go to college.
It’s a pity that Qu Yuli herself can’t see clearly.
Ruan Tang stepped out of the corner and whispered, "After the spring plowing is over, there will be a short-term training course for foot doctors. If you have thought it through, go and tell Secretary Hu."
Pang Peng looked up in surprise and said, "I've thought it through clearly. I'll go find Secretary Hu right now."
Pang Peng ran a few steps, turned around and bowed deeply to Ruan Tang.
He is already 25 years old. His mother remarried after his father died. Even if he returns to the city, he has no job. He cannot support his wife and children without a job. He would rather stay in Qingyun Brigade. He is also used to doing farm work.
Over the years, he had mentioned getting married more than once, but Qu Yuli refused, fearing it would delay her return to the city. He really wanted her to understand that with so many junior high students in Qingyun Brigade, there was no way they, the educated youth from outside, would get a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
Pang Peng felt that once Qu Yuli was bruised and bloodied by reality, she would recognize the reality. By then, the ten work points he earned as a foot doctor would be enough to support them.
There are only three people who signed up to be foot doctors.
In the past, these vacancies were something that people would fight for fiercely, but this time, it happened that the machinery factory was recruiting, so these three people got the opportunity.
Originally, the village decided to recommend Hu Miaomiao, but Ruan Tang recommended Pang Penglai, so the two of them were decided.
One is Pang Peng and the other is Hu Miaomiao.
Hu Miaomiao is Hu Jianshe's younger sister and Liu Yafang's sister-in-law. She is a lively petite girl.
After Secretary Hu brought the two people to Ruan Tang for a look, he packed them up and sent them to the county hospital for short-term training to prevent any accidents.
When Ruan Tang returned home, she saw Meng Qiongying and Yu Chengmao standing in the yard.
Ruan Tang hadn't seen Meng Qiongying for a long time since she married into Honghui Commune.
At first sight, both of them had endless things to talk about.
After Ruan Tang asked Ji Nanfeng to entertain Yu Chengmao, he took Meng Qiongying back to the house to talk in private.
At the beginning, Meng Qiongying was forced by the situation to persuade Yu Chengmao to have a fake marriage.
After being married for so long, Yu Chengmao behaved like a man. The two of them were still a fake couple, eating and sleeping together.
Meng Qiongying praised Yu Chengmao highly. This time, she heard that the machinery factory was recruiting workers and Ruan Tang was giving a lecture, so she asked Yu Chengmao to come and listen.
Outside the house, Ji Nanfeng also asked Yu Chengmao how his married life was.
Yu Chengmao hesitated for a long time before finally squeaking out a sentence. "Like a son-in-law."
"Every day when I open my eyes, I'm given one yuan in pocket money, and I'm not allowed to go home until I spend it all. If I cook and eat, I get a reward. If I wash clothes clean, I get a reward. If I'm good at something, I get a reward. I've been married for less than two months, and I've already saved 100 yuan. It feels both great and worrying."
"Now everyone in the commune knows that I married a rich wife. Even my parents often give her meat and vegetables, just to get some pocket money from her."
After hearing this, Ji Nanfeng fell silent.
He couldn't tell whether this day was good or not, because he might be lucky enough to experience this feeling soon.
Ruan Tang was earning the salary of a top-level chef, and the ten work points of a foot doctor, with both money and food... Shouldn't he learn how to curry favor with Yu Chengmao as soon as possible?
The two of them sat in silence.
After a long time, Ji Nanfeng spoke first.
"Isn't it time for your family to cook dinner at this time?"
Yu Chengmao rushed to the kitchen when he saw the sky was getting dark. After the fire started, he remembered that this was Ji's house.
Ji Nanfeng, in his sincere attitude towards learning, suggested: "How about you cook dinner tonight?"
Yu Chengmao was also not vague and started to roast it.
When Yu Chengmao cooked a big pot of stew, I tasted it and found it was just the right amount of saltiness, with no highlights and no appetite at all.
Ji Nanfeng's face darkened. He still had the nerve to say he lived like a son-in-law! This was just like Meng Qiongying doting on her husband! If this happened in their family, if he dared to mess around with the big pot today, Ruan Tang would have to go to the Xu family next door to eat for free.
Finally, Ji Nanfeng fried one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
During the meal, Meng Qiongying only took the hotpot made by Yu Chengmao, which almost moved Yu Chengmao to tears.
The next day, Yu Chengmao unexpectedly cooked a meat dish and a vegetable dish. Meng Qiongying hugged Yu Chengmao and cried while eating. She kept finding excuses to give Yu Chengmao money as compensation, because she wanted to divorce him. After all, who could stand eating pig food every day?
But seeing how Yu Chengmao had become dizzy and pale, she felt that she could still hold on. It wasn't necessary to divorce.
After Meng Qiongying and her husband left, Ji Nanfeng took the initiative to wash the dishes and gave Ruan Tang hot water for her to soak her feet.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
After cautiously soaking her feet, Ruan Tang closed her legs, twisted herself into a pretzel, and got into bed.
When Ji Nanfeng got into bed, Ruan Tang was already sleepy. Ji Nanfeng put his hand on her leg and lifted it gently, and her legs, which had been twisted all night, finally broke!
She doesn't care what happens.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't use a condom, she will just think of it as having a baby.
"Ruan Ruan, how was my performance? Do you want a reward?"
"Ruan Ruan, is this Li Yu okay? Would you consider a reward?"
"Ruan Ruan, are you satisfied with this duration? Are you really not going to reward me?"
Ruan Tang was pestered by Ji Nanfeng for half the night, and all she could think about was rewarding him.
Later, she really couldn't help it and kicked Ji Nanfeng.
