The village party secretary nodded awkwardly: "We are all from the same village. We'll see each other sooner or later. As for Xiao Lu's matter, I think..."
"Uncle, you have to be clear about this. Those are my personal matters, but I did nothing wrong at work, right?" Lu Juanjuan quickly defended herself.
Shi Zhentang sneered: "Your private morality is shameful, so how can you be selfless in public affairs?"
"You..." Lu Juanjuan looked incredulous. She was beginning to feel scared only now. Before, no matter what she did, she always thought that Shi Zhentang would eventually choose to forgive her.
But now, he was going to make her lose her job because of that idiot?
"Alright, alright." The village party secretary waved his hand. "You all have your reasons, but Xiao Lu, I'm warning you. Don't ever talk about Yuzhu like that again. Otherwise, I'll think you're truly unqualified to be a cadre anymore. Come on, look after your dad and go up the mountain. We can talk about it another day."
After he finished speaking, the village party secretary pushed Lu Fugui in front of Lu Juanjuan and said, "Fugui is in this state now, and you still have the mind to target others. You are really amazing! Hurry up and help your father go up the mountain to worship the dragon."
Lu Juanjuan could only grit her teeth and support her father, looking at Shi Zhentang with hatred in her eyes, and continued walking forward.
Shi Zhentang treated it coldly, and also dragged the silly girl, took Chengcheng and Doudou, and went to chase the old lady and the others.
The village party secretary, who failed to please both sides, stood there, shook his head and sighed.
It seems that the hatred is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be more difficult to resolve it.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Kong Xingbai, who arrived later, saw the village party secretary standing in the middle of the road in a daze, and couldn't help but come up to ask.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they held a dragon sacrifice ceremony. Not only did the educated youth come to join in the fun, but even those in the cowshed came.
The village party secretary looked back at the boy carrying the gunpowder gun again and frowned: "You are going up the mountain to worship the dragon and you want to bring a gun too?"
"Just in case." Kong Xingbai patted the butt of his gun proudly. He felt very proud carrying this gun. Everyone in the commune now thought that he was a qualified coordination committee member.
"By the way, Xiao Kong, uncle has something to ask you." The village party secretary suddenly had an idea. He thought that if this thing succeeded, everything would be solved.
"Uncle, you say."
"I heard rumors...that you've been so eager to go up the mountain and hunt wolves lately because you want to avenge the Xiao Lu family. Is it because...you like Comrade Xiao Lu?"
"ah???"
Kong Xingbai's eyes widened in shock. "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. Going up the mountain to hunt wolves and protect the people is part of my job responsibility."
The village party secretary said impatiently, "I'm just asking if you like her. If you do, you'd better make a move quickly. Xiao Lu and Zhen Tang have completely fallen out. If you pursue her now, you'll definitely win her over."
Once Lu Juanjuan falls in love, she will no longer be so obsessed with Shi Zhentang.
By then, both the Shi and Lu families will be at peace, and the silly girl will no longer be implicated.
But Kong Xingbai shook his hands in disappointment: "Don't like me, don't like me, just forgive me. I have someone in my heart!"
"Ah, you have someone, who is it?"
"Uncle, how can I tell you this? It's a secret." Kong Xingbai winked and walked forward with a mysterious look on his face.
But the village party secretary was so upset that he could only scratch his head. The young people nowadays are not like him when he was young. They all have their own ideas. It seems that free love also has its disadvantages.
…
After going up the mountain, each household marked their own offerings and placed them on the open space in front of Longquan.
The open space is very large, not only for worship, but also has a large lawn for rest.
The villagers not only have to bring offerings, but also firewood.
At this moment, the men had lit two large bonfires. The blazing flames made people feel warm and lively.
After all the villagers have burned incense and paper and kowtowed, the offerings cannot be moved and must be left for a while before they can be eaten.
The old people who hadn't seen each other for a long time sat around the campfire chatting all winter, and the children ran around and had a lot of fun.
Those who are young and strong can also go to the nearby bamboo forest to pick some winter bamboo shoots.
Although the villagers had already cleared the place before New Year's Eve, some people still wanted to try their luck.
If I can pick some winter bamboo shoots, I can take them to visit relatives on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Lu Juanjuan helped his father sit down in front of the campfire. She had already set her sights on Yang Dahua, who was heading into the bamboo forest. "Uncle, please keep an eye on my dad."
After giving some instructions to the villagers, she hurriedly followed.
Yang Dahua turned around when she heard a rustling sound behind her and was startled: "Juan'er."
Lu Juanjuan made a shushing gesture.
There were many villagers in the bamboo forest now, and she didn't want anyone to hear her. She took a few steps closer and asked quietly, "Did you bring the medicine?"
"I brought it." This time Yang Dahua did not hesitate.
Firstly, she knew it was just flour, and secondly, she also felt hatred in her heart.
Her grandchildren didn't wish her a happy new year in the morning, so she blamed Tian Yuzhu for this.
"Then let's find an opportunity to take action. There aren't many people in front of Longquan now, so this is a good time."
"good."
Yang Dahua suddenly stopped and said, "Juan, can you really help Xiaoli with her matter?"
"Don't worry." Lu Juanjuan smiled: "Xiao Li is very smart, she will have a good life in the future."
Shi Xiaoli was helping them keep watch not far away. She vaguely heard Lu Juanjuan praising her, and her heart was immediately filled with joy.
The reason why Yang Dahua asked this was that she just wanted Lu Juanjuan to believe that she had put real medicine in it.
Lu Juanjuan had already guessed in her heart that Yang Dahua did not have the courage to go to Uncle Tao to find medicine, so she resorted to the trick of asking Shi Xiaoli to change the medicine.
Everyone has their own ulterior motives and acts separately.
Lu Juanjuan was responsible for chatting with the elderly in the village to attract their attention, while Yang Dahua looked for opportunities to take action.
The offerings in the hut are also marked. The two zodiac animals are for Chengcheng and Doudou. There are also five buns. The ones with red dots are sugar buns, and the ones without red dots are naturally vegetable buns.
If Yang Dahua guessed correctly, Shi Zhentang and Shi Weimin did not eat sweet buns.
In that case, the remaining three candies must belong to Su Zhen, Tian Yuzhu, and the old lady.
Yang Dahua was blinded by hatred and even had a self-righteous thought that it would be great if what she was carrying was real poison.
She would be happy to poison any of these three women.
At this time, Lu Juanjuan was trying her best to attract the attention of the elderly people in front of the bonfire: "I will teach you a song, okay? The waves of Honghu Lake are rolling, and the shore of Honghu Lake is my hometown!"
The elderly usually don’t have much knowledge, so they naturally sing along with great support.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Dahua quickly took out the "medicine" from her pocket.
She was flustered and her hands were shaking, so she didn't look carefully. She picked up a bun with a red spot on it and spread white flour on it, so it was hard to see.
After applying one, she applied the second. Yang Dahua's purpose at this time was just to make herself feel good, and she also wanted Lu Juanjuan to see it on purpose so that she would not force herself again in the future.
