When Xiao Jiahua walked into the farm yard, smoke was rising from every household; it was time for dinner.
The educated youth site and the labor shed were very close to each other, separated by a shallow stream.
On this side of the river, a few educated youth had just finished their meal and were washing dishes around a big pot.
On the other side of the river, a row of old, weak, sick and disabled people stood in a row, doing their routine "evening class".
Professor Bai, who had a hunched back, was singled out.
The female educated youth on duty scolded loudly: "You are useless, old man! You are the one who made the mistake!"
"Ah!" The old professor sat on the ground numbly, without the strength to explain.
It’s Chen Manling again. What a narrow road for enemies.
Bai Keyan's father, Bai Zhongshi, is an old professor in the Foreign Languages Department. He was bullied by Chen Manling. Xiao Jiahua was angry and guilty.
She didn't help him take care of his father.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
Next to the team, there were two male educated youth who were taking statements. When they saw her, they greeted her in a familiar manner.
"Dear educated youth, come and see my family." Xiao Jiahua smiled politely.
She has a pair of beautiful eyes that pierce the heart. Several young men around eighteen or nineteen blushed instantly.
I have to say that Xiao Jiahua's face is beautiful in both good and evil ways, and is extremely lethal no matter what era it is in.
In Chen Manling's opinion, the white fingers and face of this little country woman were irrefutable evidence of her father's laziness.
If she were thrown into the fields, exposed to the wind and sun, she would definitely be rougher than these female educated youth and would not be able to make the male educated youth so crazy.
Chen Manling got angry as soon as she saw Xiao Jiahua. It was all because of this young wife who had embarrassed her during the day that she deliberately took it out on her.
"Xiao Jiahua, you are definitely against Xuewei. It is only natural for me to criticize him. You are rushing to be their daughter-in-law, which means you are in league with bad elements!"
Awesome, every word hits the mark.
This statement is effective in scaring others. As the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, Xiao Jiahua is a filial person in the countryside. She has every reason to stand here.
She pretended to be terrified: "I have fully realized my mistakes, so I came to the farm to make amends. Could it be that Chen Zhiqing is not satisfied with something and wants to set up a private hall?"
"Don't slander me. When did I ever set up a private temple?"
"If Chen Zhiqing feels wronged, why don't we go find Village Chief Zhao and let him judge for us?"
Village chief Zhao Fuda usually lives in the courtyard, just a few rooms away. Xiao Jiahua pretended to go find him.
Village chief Zhao is a breath of fresh air among the surrounding villages. He doesn't like to get involved in any fancy stuff and only wants to engage in construction and improve productivity.
When this group of educated youth went to the countryside, Zhao Fuda warned them that anyone who affected production should get out as soon as possible, no matter who was the emperor or the evildoer.
Chen Manling's arrogance is evident to everyone. The village chief didn't like her, but she still deliberately tried to show off in front of the village chief's son.
At this moment, Chen Manling knew she was in the wrong, so she avoided glances and quickly winked at others.
The two male educated youth bowed and stopped her. "Xiaoxiao, Chen Zhiqing said something too harsh today. It's better not to bother the village chief with these trivial matters, okay?"
Xiao Jiahua took a step back, looking very embarrassed.
"My husband is also a glorious PLA soldier, he is on the front line to defend the country. But just now, Chen Zhiqing slandered him for colluding with bad elements. I want to write a letter to ask the army leaders, is this fair to the PLA?"
Xiao Jiahua was calm as he lied. God knows which unit Bai Keyan was from or what branch of the military.
In her previous life, she was too decisive and aggressive in the workplace. In this life, she has restrained her edge and can still be quiet or active, sweet or salty.
He is good at both civil and military affairs, and can fight back sharply, which can confuse his opponents.
Chen Manling was angry and scared. "Don't talk nonsense. When did I ever slander your soldier husband? I was talking about you!"
This statement is untenable. To slander military wives is tantamount to disrespecting the People's Liberation Army.
"Manling, please stop talking. Village Chief Zhao will be here soon."
On the other side of the river, a sensible female educated youth came out to give them advice.
Chen Manling felt extremely guilty.
She usually taught the "bad elements" a lesson in private without telling Zhao Fuda, in order to improve her prestige in the educated youth team.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Jiahua arrived, he tore off her fig leaf.
"Disperse, disperse!"
Chen Manling glared at Xiao Jiahua fiercely.
.
After the educated youth left, dinner was finally served in the labor shed.
Xiao Jiahua poured the whole bowl of chicken nuggets into the wild vegetable soup. Everyone was reluctant to pick up their chopsticks, fearing that this was another "Last Supper".
"Don't worry, there will be better ones in the future." Xiao Jiahua advised patiently.
She asked one of the old doctors to distribute food to everyone, and then went to see Bai Keyan's father.
The yard was guarded and she could only say a few words.
Bai Zhongshi was half lying on the chair, his eyes a little dazed.
"Professor Bai." Xiao Jiahua called him softly.
Bai Zhongshi looked at Xiao Jiahua, reacted for a while, and sat up nervously: "You, you and Ke Yan..."
Xiao Jiahua knew what he was worried about, so he just changed his tone: "Dad, don't worry, Bai Keyan and I are doing this together."
Bai Zhongshi coughed anxiously again.
No wonder he was uneasy. This daughter-in-law only showed her and her son's marriage certificate from a distance on the wedding day and never came again.
Bai Zhongshi didn't blame her. He lives here and even his own son can't visit him, so why should he blame his daughter-in-law?
He was even grateful to the Xiao family for being willing to marry into the Bai family at this time, so that his son would have the opportunity to join the army and not be homeless.
Doctor Zheng came over with chicken soup and helped feed the old professor.
Xiao Jiahua asked softly: "Uncle Zheng, how is my health now?"
