In the end, she bought a piece of bra that didn't fit her well because she felt she had a thin waist and chose a small size. When she put it on, it squeezed out the fat on her waist and made it a little difficult to breathe.
She bought some snacks at the supply and marketing cooperative, looked at some furniture, and chose a large cabinet with a mirror, a wooden box, a storage rack, and a washbasin rack.
She wanted a lot of large items, so the supply and marketing cooperative arranged for door-to-door delivery. However, the delivery truck was not available at the moment and could only deliver them to her in the afternoon. So she left a deposit and went back to the brigade with the note from the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as she went out, she threw away the smelly old clothes.
Before she reached the ox cart, she saw from afar Xu Nuannuan and Li Miao already waiting there, as well as Jiang Ye looking at the ox cart.
She wore her newly bought blouse and thought she must be prettier than Xu Nuannuan. She didn't believe that Jiang Ye was not interested in her.
However, the fact is that he deliberately walked up to Jiang Ye, but Jiang Ye ignored her.
The women from the three villages had not returned yet, so she could only wait.
Qingpingwan Brigade
Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu had just walked a little up the mountain when they saw Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao pulling a saw to cut down trees.
The trees on the mountain are collective property, and after they cut them down, they have to pay a portion of the purchase price to the team.
Fu Yunqi saw Mei Xiangcao and hurried over, "Auntie, we meet again."
Mei Xiangcao heard the voice and turned her head, and saw Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu coming together.
"You two young educated youth don't have to go to work today, why don't you come up to the mountain and have some fun?"
Fu Yunqi smiled and said, "Those new educated youth have gone to the county to buy things. We two have no shortage of daily necessities. We have nothing to do at the educated youth camp, so we came out for a walk."
He watched Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao working hard with the saw. He had only seen the two of them yesterday, along with Jiang Ye and Jiang Ting, but had never seen the head of their family.
He then asked Mei Xiangcao, "Auntie, why haven't I seen Master? Is Master not at home?"
When he said this, Mei Xiangcao's face suddenly darkened, and then she laughed, "Who knows where he went, or whether he is dead or alive."
Jiang Yang's face turned pale as well. He pursed his lips and didn't say anything in the end.
Fu Yunqi immediately realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly changed the subject, reaching out to take the saw from Mei Xiangcao's hand, "Auntie, take a break, I'll help you."
Mei Xiangcao was embarrassed: "How can that be possible? If you want to go around, go ahead and we can do it ourselves."
"Auntie, please don't be polite with me. We're just wandering around because we're bored, and we find it interesting to do some work. Well, we're new here and don't know much about this place yet. Can you tell us about the people and things here?"
So, Fu Yunqi took over the job of sawing trees for Mei Xiangcao. Mei Xiangcao told him and Chen Dalu some things about the village.
Mei Xiangcao is a person who loves to join in the fun and gossip. Before she knew it, she started telling Fu Yunqi about all the messy gossip in the village. Fu Yunqi listened with great interest. He found that he was also a gossipy person, because he really liked listening to Mei Xiangcao telling him those gossips.
Before they knew it, he and Jiang Yang had already sawed down the roots of a tree as thick as a bowl.
After the tree is cut down, the branches need to be trimmed. First, the trunk is pulled down the mountain, and then a cart is pushed up to transport the branches away.
Fu Yunqi helped them transport the tree trunks down the mountain. As they walked, he asked Mei Xiangcao to tell him about the things in the village.
Mei Xiangcao was not tired of talking and kept on talking.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were seen by two women working in the fields. Seeing Fu Yunqi helping the Jiang family with their work and Mei Xiangcao and Fu Yunqi walking so close, they guessed the relationship between Fu Yunqi and Mei Xiangcao.
These two women are both girls and daughters-in-law of the village. They are about the same age as Mei Xiangcao, but their ancestors were poor peasants. Mei Xiangcao's father was a big landlord. Xiangcao has been a rich lady since she was a child, wearing fine clothes and eating delicious food. She is an existence that the other girls envy very much, and naturally they will be jealous of her.
Later, the landlord was overthrown, Old Master Mei died from the torture, and the Mei family's son-in-law disappeared inexplicably, leaving only Mei Xiangcao and her three young children.
They took the opportunity to bully Mei Xiangcao for a while, but after a while, Mei Xiangcao suddenly became powerful. She was like a madman. She would fight with anyone who dared to bully her and her children with a kitchen knife.
Later, her skills became more and more powerful, and she gradually became a bully in the village. After that, her children grew up and fought like her. In addition, they were strong and skilled, so not only did no one dare to bully them, but many villagers were even afraid of them.
The two people began to murmur because they were dissatisfied with Mei Xiangcao.
"Oh, you can't stand the loneliness of Mei Xiangcao. She's already old, but she's still hooking up with a pretty boy."
"Who told her that her husband has been gone for more than ten years and hasn't come back? Isn't it true that she's missing him like crazy? The key is that the pretty boy fell for her trick."
"It's because he has a face like a foxy woman. Even at his age, he's still so coquettish. Who knows what tricks he used to seduce her."
The two people here were whispering, but the people over there were too far away to know what was going on.
