The words were neither loud nor soft, and happened to be heard by everyone present. Everyone's eyes were focused on Widow Zhou's belt, and sure enough, they saw that the belt was bulging.
Zhao Zhaodi pressed Widow Zhou to the ground, holding her hands with one hand and pulling her belt with the other. It was too late for Widow Zhou to stop her. She saw peanut seeds scattered on the ground, about half a pound in weight.
Zhao Zhaodi was so angry that she grabbed Widow Zhou's hair and swung it left and right. "You are such a thief, Widow Zhou! I am so unlucky to have to work with you."
When Zhao Zhaodi had almost vented her anger, Liu Jinhua asked the onlookers to pull the two apart. Zhao Zhaodi was still holding Widow Zhou's belt in her hand. Widow Zhou was sitting on the ground, holding up her pants in a panic, crying loudly.
He kicked his legs and cried out, "This is outrageous! They're beating people up! The deputy captain's wife is beating people up! The official's family is trying to beat people to death! I won't live any longer."
After saying this, Widow Zhou jumped up, holding up her trousers, and was about to run away. The women around her were not pushovers, and they surrounded Widow Zhou.
Don’t think you can run away just because you have lost your belt. You still have to pay the price for eating, stealing, and stealing peanuts.
Someone said meaningfully, "Oh, a red belt."
Everyone's attention was focused on the belt in Zhao Zhaodi's hand. After all, everyone's clothes were gray and black, but this widow Zhou was wearing a red belt.
Zhao Zhaodi pouted at Widow Zhou and said, "You slut! Your husband has been dead for more than ten years, and you're wearing a red belt. Who are you trying to seduce?"
The women around her were also pointing and talking about her, and their words implied that Widow Zhou was restless.
At this time, Gu Aiguo and Liang Fugui had received the news and rushed over.
Zhao Zhaodi smoothed her messy hair, lifted Widow Zhou's belt with one hand, and pointed at the peanut seeds on the ground with the other.
"Captain, you've arrived just in time. Our team has a particularly bad apple, a big borer. He wears a red belt and specializes in stealing peanut seeds, damaging the collective interests."
Widow Zhou held up her trousers and almost buried her head in her crotch, and kept shouting that it was unfair and that the deputy captain's wife was bullying people.
Gu Aiguo's veins popped out, and he rubbed his swollen temples. "Fugui family, return the belt to Widow Zhou first."
Zhao Zhaodi was unwilling. "Why? I'm going to tie this belt to the banyan tree in the threshing ground and let everyone know that Widow Zhou is a shameless bitch and a thief!"
The corner of Liang Fugui's mouth twitched. "How shameless! Give the belt back to him first!"
Zhao Zhaodi curled her lips and threw the belt over Widow Zhou's head, "You're lucky, you slut, rat, termite!"
Widow Zhou picked up her belt and tied her pants while crying. Zhao Zhaodi had pulled out a lot of her hair, and her face, which was much whiter than others, was covered with blood marks, looking so pitiful.
Zhao Zhaodi scolded: "Alright, stop crying. You still have the nerve to cry after doing something like this." Then she looked at Gu Aiguo,
"Captain, what do you think we should do? This kind of thing must not be taken lightly. We must, yes, kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."
Gu Aiguo: ... "Widow Zhou's work points for secretly hiding peanut seeds will be wiped out today, and she'll be punished by carrying manure for a week. If anyone dares to do this again, I will not let them off lightly and will directly criticize them in a public meeting!"
Widow Zhou screamed miserably, "No, Captain, please show mercy."
Carrying manure is a job that no one in the team wants to do. It is heavy and smelly. It feels like rolling in a pile of shit all day. Anyone who comes across it from a distance will immediately turn around and stay away.
Gu Aiguo: "Stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pick you up for half a month!"
This time, Widow Zhou didn't dare to say anything. She didn't dare to challenge Gu Aiguo's authority, for fear that it would really take half a month.
Widow Zhou covered her face and ran away crying.
The people around smacked their lips, feeling unsatisfied, and returned to their positions to work regretfully.
But now that I have something to talk about in the next few days, this spring planting season won’t be so boring.
Zhao Zhaodi was like a victorious rooster. She picked up the peanut seeds on the ground and put them into the basket, then planted the rest of the land by herself.
Chen Qiangwei had a smile on her face, hiding her achievements and fame.
When the bell rang for the end of work, Chen Qiangwei pounded her aching waist and slowly stood up. "Let's go home and eat some meat!"
When I got home, Grandma Gu San had already prepared the taro rice and cut the pork belly.
Chen Qiangwei skillfully put the pork belly into the pan and stir-fried it to release the oil, then added ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce and other ingredients, then added the bamboo shoots and stir-fried them. After a while, the fragrant pork belly with bamboo shoots was ready.
Chen Qiangwei specially added a lot of bamboo shoots and fried two full bowls. She kept one bowl for herself and put the other bowl in a basket, covered it with a cloth and sent it to Gu Aiguo.
Chen Qiangwei said as she walked over, "Third Grandma, you guys eat first. I'll take this bowl of food to the captain's house. They're so worried about what happened last night."
Gu Sannai smiled and said, "Go ahead, the earlier you go, the earlier you come back." Then she covered the dishes with a cover and waited for her to come back before eating together.
Liu Jinhua looked at the greasy stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots and swallowed reflexively, "No, no, Chen Zhiqing, take the dishes back quickly."
It was such a big bowl of stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots, and she could see clearly that there was quite a bit of pork belly in it.
Chen Qiangwei refused and handed the basket to Liu Jinhua, "Aunt Liu, please accept it. Thanks to Comrade Gu Anyang last night,
You were so tired that you couldn't get a good rest at night. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad."
Gu Linger shouted, "Mom, just accept it. Chen Zhiqing isn't a hypocritical person. If someone gives it to you, just take it."
Liu Jinhua glared at Gu Linger and said, "Shut up, you stupid bastard."
Liu Jinhua was not a shy person, so since things had come to this, she simply took the basket generously, went to the kitchen and poured the vegetables into bowls, then opened the cupboard and took out a small can of canned oranges and put it in the basket as a return gift.
While she turned around to get the can, Wang Zhaodi quickly scooped two spoonfuls of porridge into the bowl brought by Chen Qiangwei, "washed" the bowl, and then poured the porridge into her own bowl.
Liu Jinhua glared at her, washed the bowl and put it in the basket.
Wang Zhaodi looked at the greasy porridge with great satisfaction. She knew that being glared at wouldn't cost her any meat. If she had greasy porridge every day, she would be happy even if her mother-in-law glared at her three times a day.
Liu Jinhua returned the basket to Chen Qiangwei and said, "Chen Zhiqing, Aunt San must be waiting for you to come back for dinner. I won't keep you here. I'll invite you to dinner next time."
Chen Qiangwei took the basket and said goodbye to Liu Jinhua, "Auntie, please stay. It's just a short walk."
After returning home, the three of them sumptuously ate two dishes, one was stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots and the other was stir-fried cabbage.
The tenderness of the bamboo shoots and the fragrance of the pork belly mixed together, it is tender and delicious, so delicious.
Third Aunt Gu patiently warned, "Rose Girl, don't squander money like this in the future. Forget it this time. Be frugal in the future. You'll have many more places to spend money in the future."
Chen Qiangwei nodded in agreement. "I see, Third Grandma. Didn't you buy a bicycle? This is a big happy event, we must celebrate. I must not waste money in the future."
Chen Qiangwei was already thinking about what excuse she could find to eat meat on her next day off.
