The next day, Meng Qidi got up early, locked the door, took some food and went out.
As for the good show she put on last night, she didn't appreciate it. She was still collecting interest.
They gathered at the threshing ground. This time she was smart and brought a lot of things, including a pot of well water with two drops of Yuquan water added, and the food she took last night.
She was pleasantly surprised that the space could keep warm; the porridge and sweet potatoes remained hot all night.
At noon, Meng Qidi poured a cup of water from the kettle for Liu Xuemei.
"I forgot to bring water. When I'm thirsty, everything I drink tastes sweet."
Liu Xuemei drank it in one breath, wiped the corner of her mouth, and put down the enamel cup.
"Do you still want water from your own well?"
"No, you stay. We still have some physical work to do in the afternoon! But now that you are helping to drag the mud, I think we will be the first one on the team to complete the task again."
Liu Xuemei was in a good mood. She originally thought that the captain had assigned her an inexperienced girl, but the result was a surprise. Their work was much faster.
I finished work early in the afternoon. After changing clothes and packing up to go back, the young man I met yesterday came again.
The man was far away, a little silly, "Comrade Meng, Brother Xiao said that he asked you to take a day off tomorrow, and he will come to propose marriage tomorrow morning."
Meng Qidi paused and nodded slightly.
She thought Ling Xiao was angry yesterday and would not come to her house. She even planned to turn the Meng family upside down and force them to separate her.
Although the final result would be somewhat tragic and her reputation might be ruined, it didn't matter. As long as she could get rid of the Meng family and as long as she didn't follow the path of her previous life...
Taking a deep breath and suppressing her somewhat excited emotions, Meng Qidi said politely, "Thank you, comrade."
The young man scratched his head and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, you're welcome. My name is Ling Jinming, just call me Big Gold."
This person may become his sister-in-law in the future.
Meng Qidi nodded awkwardly.
Just call her someone, what's the point of adding "little"? If you add up her age in her previous life, she could be this boy's aunt...
After returning from work, Meng Qidi met the witch who was hurriedly walking home at the entrance of the village. She glanced at Meng Yuzhen who was running away in a panic on the other side. She curled her lips and followed the witch...
"Captain, something bad has happened. My family has called a fortune teller again." Meng Yuzhen ran into the captain's house, panting.
Team leader Meng Xinhua was brushing his shoes in the yard and asked suspiciously, "What? What did you say?"
"What witch?" The captain's wife Zhang Ping stared at Meng Yuzhen strangely. She had a lot of family affairs to deal with, and she had a lot of things to do every few days, and she didn't even let her have a break.
"Uncle, aunt, it's a fortune teller. She came to my house last time and came again today!" Meng Yuzhen said anxiously.
She didn't know about this at first, but she heard her mother accidentally let it slip in the field, saying that they would finish work early and the family would hire a fortune teller to calm her down!
Just now she met...
Meng Qidi dared to report it last time, and she dares to do it this time too!
Zhang Ping rolled her eyes unhappily. It's just a fortune teller. What's the big deal?
Meng Xinhua stood up and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
What’s wrong with Meng Jianguo? Wasn’t he educated enough last time?
Meng Yuzhen was relieved when she saw the captain following him...
Knock knock knock.
There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it..." Sun Fang impatiently opened the gate and saw Meng Xinhua at the door. A smile instantly spread across her face. "Captain, why are you here?"
"Yuzhen said that your family is practicing feudal superstition again? Comrade Sun Fang, this kind of thinking is unacceptable. Do you want to post big-character posters or take a stroll in the grain drying field?"
People who posted big-character posters were basically sent to a poor remote mountain valley, where they would be taken for a walk in the threshing ground, and then, in human language, they would be pulled over and criticized in public.
Sun Fang was extremely surprised. "Captain, what you heard is nonsense. What do you mean we are practicing feudal superstition? How is that possible? Yuzhen, do you want to kill our family?"
"But... I, I saw the witch coming to our house with my own eyes, and my mother even said that you said I was possessed by evil spirits." Meng Yuzhen's face was full of grievance, and she wished that the captain would scold Meng Qidi as well.
But when she looked carefully into the yard, she froze. She saw an eight-person table in the yard with many dishes on it. The witch was sitting at the top, accompanied by Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng...
Sun Fang laughed secretly in her heart and shouted, "Oh my goodness, Captain, please look carefully, we really are not promoting superstition. I felt very sorry for the fortune-teller last time, so I specially called her over to apologize this time."
Old Lady Meng sighed and stood up apologetically. "Yes, Xinhua, we are just apologizing. If we really want to do those things, we must have incense, paper and candles, right? Look, we don't even have a chicken."
Meng Jianguo glanced around and found nothing had changed except for the addition of more tables.
Thinking of Meng Yuzhen's surprise, Meng Xinhua said unhappily, "Yuzhen, let's figure it out next time. Okay, I have to go and record the work points. Since all of you are at home, today's work points will be halved!"
Because Meng Yuzhen lost half of her work points, the Meng family members wanted to eat Meng Yuzhen.
Meng Xinhua glanced at Meng Qidi under the eaves, frowning, "Xiao Qi, you..."
Meng Qidi, who was leaning against the door reading a book, looked up and said, "Captain, I finished my work and left normally. Sister Liu should have a record of it. We came back together."
"Okay, you can just register with your sister Liu." Meng Xinhua had to record work points at this critical moment and had no time to care about the troubles of Old Man Meng's family, so he just left.
"Pull her in." Old man Meng slammed his chopsticks on the table, his face full of anger.
Meng Daqiang ran over very quickly, pulled Meng Yuzhen in, and closed the door directly.
If Xiaoqi hadn't come back today and said that he saw Yuzhen go to the captain's house and told them not to rush to set up the place, they would have been scolded today!
Meng Yuzhen is a traitor who wants to kill them...
"Dad... let go..." Being stared at by several elders of the Meng family, Meng Yuzhen was a little scared. She even glared at Meng Qidi who was reading under the eaves with a bit of annoyance.
Meng Qidi raised her eyes and smiled at her.
Meng Yuzhen became nervous because of her laughter. The next second, sticks came down like a thunderstorm. By the time Meng Yuzhen reacted, she had already been hit several times. The pain made her run away subconsciously.
"Still running? I'll beat you to death, you traitor!"
Old Man Meng was so angry that he was furious and chased after them, "Daqiang, Jianguo, catch her for me, I will beat her to death today!"
The yard was suddenly in chaos. Meng Qidi didn't even raise her head, as if it had nothing to do with her. Zhao Hong, who came out after hearing the noise, stamped her feet in anxiety.
Sun Fang was enjoying the show, he deserved it! It would be best to kill this evildoer!
Meng Yuzhen was caught after she had only run a few steps, and several sticks hit her forehead, causing pain.
It was the same thing as reporting, but why did she get beaten up when it came to her?! It must be Meng Qidi's fault!
Meng Yuzhen looked at Meng Qidi with resentment, but there was no trace of Meng Qidi under the eaves...
