Sea buckthorn fruit is a small orange-yellow berry that can be squeezed into juice and drunk. The locals call it sour thorn.

Every season, people in the village would pick sea buckthorn berries, make juice from them, and sell them at the commune market or at stalls in the county.

As long as it is not deliberately reported, no one will care.

You can buy a big bowl for one cent.

Zhou Weiguang bought two bowls and asked Qin Hanshu to come over and sit at the stall to drink.

Qin Hanshu got off the tractor and just as he approached Zhou Weiguang, the tiger in his arms arched its back and growled at Zhou Weiguang.

...I really hate it.

Qin Hanshu couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had foresight, otherwise the tiger would have hated her.

After patting the tiger's head a few times to comfort it, Qin Hanshu sat down and took a big sip of sea buckthorn juice.

She was feeling the biscuit was too salty, but the sour and sweet taste immediately made her feel less salty after taking a bite.

He raised his head and smiled at Zhou Weiguang, "Thank you, Brother Zhou San."

Zhou Weiguang coughed lightly and avoided his gaze, "No, you're welcome."

The sun is shining brightly today, and the temperature, which had been dropping for a while, has suddenly warmed up again.

Qin Hanshu sat in the sun for a while and felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.

No one knew what Niu Quangen was looking for. They had finished their pork head sandwiches, but he hadn't come back yet.

Qin Hanshu fanned his collar and glanced, and found Zhou Weiguang standing there, with a large shadow under his tall body.

She moved quietly into the shadows.

How could Zhou Weiguang, who was a scout, hide her actions? As soon as she moved, he noticed her intention.

Zhou Weiguang's expression remained unchanged, but his body moved in coordination.

His figure completely enveloped her.

Qin Hanshu felt cooler, but Zhou Weiguang suddenly began to sweat.

He reached out and unbuttoned a button of his tightly buttoned shirt, and finally felt less depressed.

Niu Quangen came back with his hands full.

"Today's fair is so lively, you really should go and have a look!"

Niu Quangen was full of excitement, pointing at the things in his hand and said, "I came across a store selling cheap homespun cloth, so I bought some extra to make two new sets of clothes for Zhao Ru."

The cloth is made by farmers themselves for their own use, or they take it to the market to exchange for some money, it is very cheap.

The one bought by Niu Quangen is cheaper because it was not dyed properly and is considered a defective product.

He felt like he had gotten a bargain and was very happy.

Qin Hanshu also smiled and said, "That's great. Spend the same amount of money and buy more cloth."

Niu Quangen sighed, "Zhao Ru has been married for a while now. The banquet was not well prepared and nothing was given to her... I thought since it's the end of the year now, I'll make her some new clothes."

In addition to the cloth, Niu Quangen also bought a bag of apples. The apples were thin and small. They were probably wild apples picked from the mountains and sold at the market.

Niu Quangen was still wearing pants made of urea bags, but he was thinking about making new clothes for Zhao Ru. To outsiders, he was already a man who loved his wife.

But the actual situation depends on the person involved.

Zhao Ru felt that her future was bleak.

After returning to Haowan Village from the farm, Zhao Ru actually wanted to regret it, but Niu Quangen was too smart. He didn't care about anything and half-dragged and half-pushed her to get the marriage certificate first.

The next step is to hold a banquet and tell the whole village about it.

She was unwilling in the bridal chamber, and after a fierce struggle, Niu Quangen did not force her anymore.

A few days later, Niu Quangen told her that he had secured the position of brigade broadcaster for her.

Being a broadcaster is respectable and can earn dozens of yuan more every year. This gave Zhao Ruru a little hope in her desperate heart.

She couldn't help but have an idea.

Anyway, she has been sent to Haowan Village to work as a sent-down youth, and she won't have a good life on her own, so she might as well follow Niu Quangen first, and then go back to the city when she has the chance and run away.

After thinking about it this way, Zhao Ru felt much better.

But Niu Quangen seemed to know what she was thinking, and he kept a close eye on her! He also didn't let her have a penny!

Her work points book had been merged into Niu Quangen's house. Niu Quangen held the book tightly in his hand and she was not allowed to even look at it.

Most importantly, in Niu Quangen's heart, the most important thing is his sons! All the extra work points she earned for the Niu family were subsidized to her six sons, and she herself did not get a single point!

If Zhao Ru wanted to eat more dry food, she had to beg Niu Quangen. Her life was even worse than when she was in the educated youth camp!

But now Zhao Ru can't get rid of it at all. Niu Quangen goes home to sweep the floor, cook and wash clothes in order to gain a good reputation. People in the village say that he loves his wife and praises her for being blessed. She has no one to confide her suffering to.

Over time, Zhao Ru became very conflicted. On the one hand, she extremely disliked and hated Niu Quangen in her heart, but on the other hand, she had to flatter him in order to survive.

At this moment, seeing Niu Quangen buying back a pile of cloth and saying that he wanted to make clothes for her, Zhao Ru was too lazy to even look at it, but she had to force a smile.

Niu Quangen was very happy to see that she liked it.

"You've been married to me for so long, and you haven't even worn a new piece of clothing... Ru Ru, you're such a fairy-like woman, but you've been wronged by marrying me..."

Zhao Ru gritted her teeth in hatred. He also knew that she was wronged? Then why didn't he let her go when she begged him not to get the marriage certificate? !

Niu Quangen looked at Zhao Ru with guilt, "First make two sets of homespun cloth, and next year I will go to the commune to carry stones and earn you a piece of Dacron. Don't worry, I will definitely work harder than before, and our lives will get better and better..."

Zhao Ru didn't say anything, but Niu Quangen became more and more emotional as he spoke, and he grabbed Zhao Ru's hand.

Niu Quangen's family lived in two kilns, one for his six sons and one for him and Zhao Ru.

By now, the sons should have gone to bed.

Niu Quangen stared at Zhao Ru's face, "Ruru, please give me a daughter! I already have six sons, let's have another daughter..."

How could a man who had been single for five years, who finally got married and slept on the same kang with his wife every day, endure this?

Zhao Ru watched in horror as Niu Quangen approached. The smell of cigarettes in his mouth and the sweat on his body made her want to vomit.

"Niu Quangen, what are you doing?"

"You are my wife! We got a marriage certificate..."

Zhao Ru finally pushed Niu Quangen away, shrank to the corner of the kang, and looked at him pleadingly.

Niu Quangen closed his eyes, slowly calmed down, and said slowly:

"Ruru, I won't force you. I'll give you a few more days to prepare."

"But I have to remind you that you have already married me, Niu Quangen, so don't have any other ideas."

"I'm not a good person. I took a risk to get you out of the farm. You can't let me work for nothing, right?"

After Niu Quangen finished speaking, he lay down and went to sleep.

Zhao Ru stayed in the corner until Niu Quangen started snoring and her body stopped shaking.

She thought that as long as she didn't want to, Niu Quangen would not touch her.

No! She could tolerate everything else, but she absolutely could not tolerate Niu Quangen touching her!

She wants to go back to the city! Even if she becomes an illegal resident, she wants to go back to the city!
