In a blink of an eye, March arrives, the weather warms up, spring returns to the earth, and all things revive.
The willow buds on both sides of the road danced in the wind, the rapeseeds had grown a lot taller without anyone noticing, and there were also the lush green wheat seedlings.
As the weather changed, Tian Wenjun's mood improved a lot, and she gradually forgot the bloody scene in front of the restaurant.
He Damei has been in a good mood these past two days. She calculates the time when Chen Baoguo will come every day.
He Damei tears off the calendar on the wall of the restaurant every day.
It was early in March, and Tian Wenjun was in a good mood on the way to the county town by bicycle.
Last year, Tian Wenjun dried a lot of wild vegetables, and this year all the women in the compound started drying wild vegetables.
As the weather gets warmer, restaurant business also improves.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard He Damei humming a song and sweeping the floor.
She smiled and said, "Damei, why are you so happy?"
He Damei looked back and said with a smile: "Wenjun is here, the weather is warmer, and I am in a good mood."
Wang Daqing placed a bowl of fried dough sticks on the window and said, "I see, you miss Chen Baoguo, because you tear off the calendar every day when you arrive at the restaurant.
"Others may not be able to see your little tricks, but can I not see them?"
He Damei gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you so annoying?
Whatever comes out of your mouth seems to have changed its taste. "
Wang Daqing said: "What I said is the truth."
He Damei put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry and said, "Now I finally understand why you haven't found a wife at your age.
You know what, you have a really bad mouth.
With your current condition, it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future."
"What unlucky words are you saying so early in the morning, kid?"
"You provoked me first."
"It's you."
"It's you..."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Tian Wenjun covered her ears and said, "You two are really good. If you keep quarreling, someone will come to the store."
Wang Daqing said: "A good man does not fight with a woman."
He Damei rolled up her sleeves and said, "Come out and fight me if you can."
Wang Daqing said with a smile: "A gentleman talks, not fights. I won't fight with you."
"coward."
"As a girl, you should be gentler. If Chen Baoguo knew you had such a fierce personality, do you think he would still marry you?"
He Damei was so angry that she jumped up and down. Why did she want to beat him up so much?
These two people are simply a pair of funny people. When they are arguing with each other, they curse each other to death, but when they calm down, they have a good relationship.
The two of them quarreled for a long time, and only stopped when the first customer came into the store.
There is a lot of work to do in the village, and Chen Baoguo works in the fields every day.
Chen Xiaohong's leg injury got better, and she would cook at home while her family members went to the fields to work.
She is also very careful when cooking, she doesn't want to be a useless person.
That day, when Chen Baoguo and his family came back at noon, Chen Xiaohong had already prepared lunch.
The loudspeaker in the village suddenly sounded, and Zhang Qiang's voice came from the loudspeaker.
"Attention, fellow villagers. Attention, fellow villagers. We have received a notice from our superiors that the entire county will begin to conduct literacy training. The literacy level is elementary school graduates. The training will be held in the village school every evening. Everyone must come."
Zhang Qiang notified three times about the important matter.
Chen Kaifang said: "This is a good thing, can we old couple go?"
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "You are already old, so don't compete with young people for the quota."
Chen Xiaohong was amused, and the family of four sat at the dinner table.
Zhang Cuihua suddenly remembered and said, "Yes, our Xiaohong can go.
Our Xiaohong graduated from elementary school, but she didn’t even finish fifth grade.”
Chen Kaifang said: "This is possible."
Chen Xiaohong blushed. Her family was poor at that time, so she dropped out of school halfway through and went to collect grass for pigs every day.
Thinking about it now, it’s quite embarrassing.
Chen Xiaohong was still struggling in her heart. If she really died, how would she tell the villagers when they asked her about her divorce?
Chen Baoguo knew that this might be a difficult hurdle for Chen Xiaohong psychologically, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Truth cannot be hidden. In fact, some people in the village already knew about it, but Chen Xiaohong didn't go out, so she didn't know what everyone was talking about.
Chen Xiaohong didn't say anything. Chen Baoguo saw that she looked troubled and knew what she was thinking.
Chen Baoguo said: "If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I'll tell Zhang Qiang."
Chen Xiaohong knew that some things could not be avoided.
Chen Xiaohong said: "I'll go."
She also wanted to seize this opportunity and try again for herself.
Chen Kaifang said: "If you want to go, go ahead. Let's study hard."
Zhang Cuihua said: "Yes, your father is right.
As long as we get over this hurdle, everything will be fine in the future."
Chen Xiaohong nodded: "I understand, Mom."
Chen Xiaohong seemed to be encouraged and mustered up her courage.
At 1 p.m., Zhang Qiang came to see Chen Baoguo.
Chen Baoguo had to go to the village cattle farm to be on duty tonight, and Zhang Qiang accompanied him halfway.
Zhang Qiang asked, "You've heard about the literacy campaign, right?"
"I heard you. Your voice is so loud. I don't want to hear it, but there's nothing I can do."
Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "When are you leaving?"
"Maybe in ten days or so."
"Is your sister feeling better?"
"Much better. She is now considered a member of our village."
"Calculate."
"Does my sister have a chance in that literacy class tonight?"
"Yes, people from other villages will also come, you can just let her come when the time comes."
"Okay, let her come tonight."
“This literacy class will last for several months, and the higher-ups are doing this for the good of us villagers.
As society develops and the times progress, our cultural level and quality must also be improved.
We must learn to win people over with virtue. If everyone does this and starts fighting to the death over trivial matters, it is not a good idea.
I think this literacy class is pretty good.”
Hearing these words, Chen Baoguo couldn't help but smile.
"Why do you seem to have seen through the world now?
However, what you said makes sense, and it seems that it is right to choose you as the branch secretary."
Zhang Qiang felt embarrassed when being praised.
Chen Baoguo said, "I will be leaving soon. Since we grew up together, please worry more about my family's affairs."
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen is a very nice person in the village. Except for the Xu family, everyone else is very polite to Uncle Chen."
Chen Baoguo smiled. He knew this.
As the two men were talking, they arrived at the gate of the cattle farm.
Chen Baoguo said: "I'm here, you should go back quickly."
Zhang Qiang said: "Be careful at night."
"I see. They are just a few cows. Are you afraid that they might be stolen?"
Zhang Qiang smiled and walked back.
As soon as Chen Baoguo entered the cowshed, he saw the bed inside which all the villagers had slept on. He scratched his hair helplessly, and after thinking it over, he finally went to sleep in the haystack nearby.
If you sleep in that bed for one night, you'll probably get lice all over your body.
Chen Baoguo rested his hands on the pillow, a piece of hay in the corner of his mouth, and stared at the starry sky above his head with his deep eyes.
He will be leaving in a dozen days. Can he and that He Damei succeed?
