Chen Nongmo doesn't often walk around the village.
But the children in the village all like her very much.
The reason was quite straightforward, because she always had food in her pocket.
It's either candy, biscuits, peanuts or something like that. For children, they like them more than anything else.
Of course, most children are well educated and they will not come home specifically to ask for it.
Whenever I happened to come across her candies and snacks, I would give her some small gifts in return.
They are basically wild vegetables and fruits from the fields and foothills.
It was the same that day. When Chen Nongmo came out, he put a dozen candies in his pocket.
As we walked into the village, we could hear the cheers and laughter of children from afar.
Chen Nongmo blinked curiously, looked up at his fourth brother on his right, and asked, "When the educated youth came to the village in the past, were the children also so happy?"
Chen Jun, who was having fun in the village every day, laughed: "How is it possible? I heard this morning that Aunt Chunmei's family was picking dates today. I guess it's because of this."
There is a saying that goes, the red circle on July 15th, the pole falls on August 15th.
Chen Nongmo suddenly realized that now was indeed a good time to eat dates.
".There are many families in the village that grow jujubes, but the sweetest ones belong to Aunt Chunmei's family. Every year when they pick jujubes, the greedy cats go to help pick them. Afterwards, each child can get one or two kilograms of jujubes, which makes them very happy. My fourth child and I also came here when we were in elementary school. Aunt Chunmei's jujube tree has been there for many years."
What the fifth brother said was very interesting, and he had the picture in his mind, so when passing by Aunt Chunmei's house, Chen Nongmo couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.
She originally planned to take a look and leave, but when she stuck her head out, she met the eyes of a little girl who was chasing Zao'er.
The girl's eyes lit up when she recognized the person: "Sister Yu Yu!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the other children who were picking dates, but even Aunt Chunmei who was hitting the date tree with a bamboo pole looked over in surprise: "Oh my, it's really you, little girl. Come in quickly and take some dates back to eat. They are sweet."
Chen Nongmo didn't hesitate, he stepped over the threshold, smiled and called out to someone, then said, "Fourth brother said that the dates from Aunt Chunmei's house are the sweetest, I must eat a few more."
Chunmei liked what she heard. She didn't ask the little girl to pick them up. She pointed to the dustpan and said with a hearty smile, "Pick them from there. The redder they are, the sweeter they are."
After distributing candies to the children, Chen Nongmo picked up a few red ones, wiped them casually, and took a bite.
Not only sweet, but also very crispy.
Seeing the little girl's eyes curved with sweetness, Aunt Chunmei instructed the twins to take more: "Don't be polite to Auntie. If you hadn't come, I would have sent some to Qiuhua. The date cakes she makes are delicious."
In the end, the three brothers and sisters left with more than ten kilograms of red dates.
In Aunt Chunmei's words, when the date cakes are ready, just give her two kilograms.
After leaving Chunmei's house, the three siblings continued walking towards the village committee.
Chen Nongmo ate more than a dozen dates in a row. When he subconsciously reached out to take more, Chen Yi dodged the bag in his hand and said, "It's not good to eat too much at once."
Chen Jun nodded: "Yes, these dates are big, if you eat too much, you will fart more."
“.”
= When Chen Nongmo and his friends came to the village committee, they happened to hear the villagers discussing something excitedly.
After listening carefully, I realized that some of the educated youth who came here had brought cameras.
If you want to take photos these days, you have to go to the county state-owned photo studio.
Many people never take a photo in their entire life.
You can imagine how rare cameras are, especially a Seagull brand like the one you hold in your hand.
Chen Yi said gently: "He is a smart man."
Chen Nongmo nodded in agreement: "Now there must be many uncles and aunts who are willing to temporarily accept the educated youth."
Chen Jun, who was not very interested in the camera, looked at his sister and asked, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Go ahead, now that you're here."
Although they were curious, the three siblings did not squeeze to the front. They just stood on the periphery of the crowd and listened to everyone's chatter.
Although the topic basically revolved around the camera, a few minutes was enough for Chen Nongmo to extract useful information from it.
This time, all the educated youth came from Shanghai.
Two girls and four boys.
She focused most of her attention on a few men.
He is quite young, probably in his early twenties at most, and his appearance is not particularly outstanding.
But perhaps it is because of the climate and soil in big cities that people’s skin color is obviously several shades whiter than that of the villagers in Shanshun Village.
Plus he was dressed elegantly, in a white shirt and green military pants.
Even though I blended in with the villagers because of a camera, I could still see the difference.
Chen Nongmo's gaze swept over several people one by one without leaving a trace, and finally stopped on the man holding a camera and explaining the rules of use to the villagers.
She didn't know why, but when she saw the honest-looking man not far away, she had a feeling.
It was him! In the original book, the little girl who had not regained her sanity was murdered in the mountains in the winter of that year.
Hooliganism is a serious crime these days, not to mention it involves a human life.
Before the verdict, the villain confessed that he was just attracted by the woman's beauty and had no intention of killing anyone.
In his opinion, she was a fool, and a beautiful fool who was taken care of by her family. Even if she was really raped by him, she would not understand what happened and would not say it out loud.
Maybe he is not the only one who has taken action.
After all, even if she is stupid, she is really beautiful, and any normal man would have some thoughts about her.
I originally thought it would be easy to succeed.
However, he did not expect that the Chen family was watching him too closely. He had to wait for several months before he found the person and brought him to the mountains.
When the fight really started, the idiot struggled and cried so hard that he refused to take off his clothes.
He was worried about attracting people, so in panic he could only cover the fool's mouth.
The more the other person struggled, the harder he pushed. When he came to his senses, he had already smothered the person to death . Recalling this, Chen Nongmo took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly in his pockets.
She couldn't imagine how terrifying this was for a girl.
It is also impossible to imagine whether Qiuhua’s mother, who had taken good care of her girl for two or three years, could still bear the blow of her daughter’s tragic death after her son’s amputation.
Most books are described from the perspective of the male and female protagonists.
But considering that the male protagonist regards his sister's death as a lifelong regret, we can guess how much pain Qiuhua's mother, who had been with her for three years, would have to endure.
And how devastated would the biological parents be. "Sixth sister? What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Yi was sharp-minded. When he noticed that the little girl's breathing next to him became heavier, he immediately looked over with concern, and found that his sister's face was a little pale.
Chen Jun, who was standing on the other side, also looked over. He was worried about something different. The young man lowered his head slightly, rubbed his sister's head with his big hands, and asked worriedly, "Did Lao Liu eat too many dates and have a stomachache?"
Worried that his sister was shy, Chen Jun considerately lowered his voice when asking this question.
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo looked at his fourth brother speechlessly, and then he chuckled, "It doesn't hurt, it's just that the sun is uncomfortable."
She had indeed been afraid before.
Although I am used to relying on myself for everything, even if I think of myself as an iron man, I will still feel uneasy and afraid when facing a vicious murderer.
But now it’s different. After more than two years in this world, she not only has a family, but also receives so much love.
Even if she is targeted by scum in the future like in the original plot, she doesn't need to be afraid.
Because behind her stood her parents and brothers who loved her the most in the world.
Her family is her reason for being fearless.
After figuring this out and basically determining who the villain was, Chen Nongmo no longer wanted to stay: "Fourth brother, fifth brother, let's go home. I want to eat the date cake made by Qiuhua's mother."
Chen Jun waved his hand: "Then go back."
Chen Yi glanced at the crowd imperceptibly, but still saw nothing, so he nodded: "After making the date cakes, we should still have time to send some to Aunt Chunmei."
Just as the three siblings turned around and were about to leave, the villagers, whose attention was completely drawn to the foreign camera, discovered them.
Someone shouted, "Yuyu girl is going back now?"
Chen Nongmo turned around and arched his eyebrows towards the man: "Uncle Shangen, let's go to Aunt Chunmei's house to pick some dates."
Uncle Shangen looked enlightened, his simple face full of kindness: "No wonder a little girl like you would come out, go ahead, take more, the dates from your Aunt Chunmei's house are very sweet! It's just that I'm a little stingy, I'm willing to give it to you except for the children in the village"
As soon as these joking words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter and started to tease the three siblings.
After a while, the old secretary finally rescued the man after laughing and scolding him a few times.
It was at this time that several educated youths who had some sense of superiority from big cities came back to their senses from their shock.
The two girls were fine. They gathered together and chattered excitedly, marveling that such talented people could be found in such a small mountain village.
Especially the female comrade, she was so beautiful that even fellow women couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
The male educated youth all blushed, looking as if they wanted to look but were too embarrassed to do so.
Only Liu Kai's reaction was different from others.
At this moment, although he didn't show it on his face, he felt like the blood in his body was boiling.
This wasn't the first time he had seen good-looking lesbians.
But this is the first time it looks this good.
If I can get someone Thinking of this, he secretly swallowed his saliva, tried hard to control the evil thoughts that were rising up, put on an honest face, looked at the old secretary, and said in a serious manner: "What do you think? Can I live in their house? I just heard everyone say that the three siblings are also high school students like me. I think if we live together, we can learn from each other."
After saying this, Liu Kai raised the camera in his hand seemingly unintentionally, obviously raising the stakes.
But he didn't notice at all that because of these words, the smile on the face of the country bumpkin in his mind faded a lot.
It's not their fault that they are sensitive; it was just that the incident last year was too big a deal.
The old secretary was a shrewd man, but he didn't show anything.
He just tapped his pipe against the tree trunk next to him, took another puff, and then asked cheerfully, "You want to live with a high school student?"
Liu Kai said righteously: "Yes, as progressive young people who grew up under the red flag, we must always learn and make progress."
The old secretary stood in awe: "You are a good comrade with ideas!"
Liu Kai said modestly: "There is still a lot I need to learn from you."
As if accepting the other party's flattery, the old secretary smiled like an old chrysanthemum, raised his hand and waved to the sturdy young man standing behind the crowd: "Dashan, Third Grandpa wants to make a deal with you. Can this educated youth Liu stay in your house temporarily?"
Dashan's family is also a hunter, and his physique is slightly smaller than that of the brothers Cao Liu and Chen Huai.
Hearing the old secretary calling him, a muscular man appeared in the crowd and responded in a rough voice: "I listen to you, old man."
Liu Kai is not short, not even 1.80 meters, but almost there.
But at this moment, standing next to the mountain, it looks particularly small.
He could hardly keep the smile on his face, looked at the smiling old secretary in confusion, and asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with you, old man?"
The old secretary looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone whose family has a high school student? Why go so far? Dashan just graduated last year. Even though he's tall, he's only 19 years old, still a kid!"
After saying this, the old secretary raised his hand and patted the "baby" Dashan's arm. Without giving Liu Kai a reaction, he said, "Go back and tell your father to take good care of the educated youth comrade, okay?"
Dashan looked fierce, but he was honest, a typical person with a mean face but a kind heart. He didn't understand the hidden meaning at all and nodded honestly, saying in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, Third Grandpa."
Liu Kai's face turned pale, and he tried to make a final struggle: "I I..."
The old secretary nodded and said, "Don't be afraid. Our village is safe. As long as you don't run to the back hills casually, you won't encounter wild animals."
"Are there any more ferocious beasts?"
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, the old secretary hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Dashan's family has many men, all of whom are good hunters. His father is even stronger than him. You are a good and motivated young man. Only by living in such a family can I rest assured of your safety."
In the end, no matter how Liu Kai resisted, he was still enthusiastically pulled away by the young and inexperienced Dashan.
The other educated youth looked pale, thinking that they had entered some kind of evil-hearted village where people were eaten without leaving any bones.
The old secretary took another puff of his cigarette slowly, and snorted in his heart: Dashan is honest, but his father is a smart one. In his opinion, people with dirty thoughts like this deserve to be dealt with.
"Should we remind Mr. Zong?" The accountant, who also saw through Liu Kai's thoughts, whispered.
The old secretary smiled, this time sincerely: "Why do we need him? The fifth child of Zong Xiaozi's family is a smart guy."
Hearing this, the accountant also reacted, smiled and shook his head: "I was confused."
"Okay, you are just too concerned. It seems that the remaining ones won't cause any big trouble. Let's ask everyone to draw lots." At this point, the old secretary looked at the two pale-faced female educated youths and frowned: "You don't need to draw lots for these girls. Send them directly to Huijuan's home."
Huijuan is the cousin of the old secretary. Her husband died early and she never remarried. She spent her whole life taking care of her one son. Later, her son met a blind bear in the back mountain and died early, leaving the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to raise two children.
Girls can feel at ease living in such a family.
But the old man took another puff of his cigarette.
We still need to hurry up and build more educated youth sites so as to get these city kids out as soon as possible.
It's too troublesome.
= The old secretary guessed correctly.
When the fifth brother Chen Yi heard the male educated youth say that he wanted to live in their house, he turned around and looked at him deeply.
I roughly understood why my sister looked so unhappy just now.
Ever since the little girl was targeted by that dirty guy from the Revolutionary Committee last year, Chen Yi has become particularly sensitive to such things.
Beneath his gentle appearance, he has an aggressive personality.
Since he discovered that the other party was doing something wrong, Chen Yi thought it would be better to take the initiative instead of just being on guard.
Thinking of Liu Kai's relaxed look just now, the gloom in his eyes deepened. "How can this guy be so shameless? He is a man and he wants to live in our house?" Chen Jun muttered to himself, very angry.
On the contrary, Chen Nongmo, after seeing the people, had already come to his senses and even joked with a smile: "Fourth brother, are you saying that female educated youth can live here?"
Hearing this, Chen Jun exploded, stuffed the dates in his hand into Lao Wu's arms, turned around and chased after his sister who had already run away, angrily saying: "You damn girl, are you trying to piss me off on purpose? If you have the guts, don't run! I'll take care of you!"
Seeing that the fourth brother sounded fierce but was actually deliberately slowing down his pace, Chen Yi put his thoughts aside, hugged more than ten kilograms of dates, and quickened his pace to catch up with him with amusement.
= Chen Nongmo has also watched several food videos before.
But when I need it, I have almost forgotten it.
Therefore, making date cake by hand is far inferior to Qiuhua’s mother who has good skills and her own secret recipe.
However, she is not an expert in making jujube cakes, but she can still figure out how to make jujube sauce.
So, when Cao Qiuhua steamed the first basket of cakes, Chen Nongmo also successfully made two cans of jam using fresh dates, dried dates and maltose.
She tried it and found it tasted good, and even better when drunk with water.
Cao Qiuhua took the sugar water her daughter made for her, took a sip, and praised with a smile: "It tastes much better than sugar water."
After she finished speaking, she took another big sip, then pointed to one of the cans and said, "Is that for your Aunt Chunmei?"
Chen Nongmo nodded: "The weather is too hot, let's make two bottles first to test the taste. If we make more, it won't keep well. Mom Qiuhua, let's save some dried red dates. In the winter, we can make more and send them to my sister-in-law and my parents."
Cao Qiuhua called his son outside to come in and bring the date cakes. Hearing this, he responded, "Sure! I've recently asked someone to exchange some candy tickets for me. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so it would be good for her to drink some."
Chen Yi walked into the kitchen, glanced at the finished product on the stove, and said with a smile: "I'll send it to Aunt Chunmei's house first?"
"Yes, and take a bottle of jam your sister made, and tell Chunmei to save 20 kilograms of dried dates for me this year." This is for money.
"good."
Cao Qiuhua picked out the most perfect piece of date cake from the sliced pieces and handed it to her daughter: "Try it."
Chen Nongmo took it and wanted to break it apart and share it with a few people.
Chen Yi picked up the clean winnowing basket and said with a smile, "When I come back from Aunt Chunmei's house, the second pot will be almost ready. You can have yours."
Cao Qiuhua, who had not thought of his son at all, nodded and said as if it was a matter of course: "Yes, you eat yours."
“.”
= Five thirty in the evening is the time for Unit 738 to have dinner.
Shao Zheng, who was promoted to colonel at the beginning of the year, came to his brother's office with documents, ready to discuss the simulated combat plan two months later with him, but he came up empty-handed.
He looked at Xiao Liu, the orderly who was guarding here.
Liu Zhi understood immediately: "The captain left three minutes ago, saying he was going back to eat, and told me to call you to join him, but I didn't expect you to come first."
Hearing this, thinking about the fact that his sister-in-law had just been found out to be pregnant, it was normal for a brother to be nervous. Shao Zheng didn't want to be so tactless as to disturb the young couple at this time.
Just as I was about to wave goodbye and leave, the phone on the desk rang.
Shao Zheng was close to the table and picked it up. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted: "Are you Old Five Chen Yi?"
Chen Yi on the other end of the phone smiled and replied: "Brother Shao Zheng, it's me. My eldest brother is not here?"
"It's time for dinner. Lao Shao is going back to the family compound to accompany your sister-in-law. What happened? Do you need me to call him over to answer the phone?"
In the early years, Brother Shao Zheng and his eldest brother came to our house to play, and since we have been in touch all these years, they are no different from our brothers.
Chen Yi naturally didn't want to disturb his eldest brother from accompanying his pregnant sister-in-law at this time, nor did he treat the other party as an outsider. He directly told him about what happened to Liu Kai today.
He then explained, "Brother Shao Zheng, I may have made a big fuss, but what happened last year was really bad. If it weren't for Yu Yu's cleverness, she would have been almost hurt. I can't help but think too much and think that I should first check the details of that Liu Kai."
Shao Zheng knew what Yu Yu had encountered last year. Not only did Chen Wuwen’s face darken for several days, but he was also very angry.
I didn't want to encounter such a bad thing again just a few months after the incident.
I don't know if the gentle little girl will be scared?
Thinking of this, the usually gentle man's eyebrows gradually became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "You must trust your intuition. Often intuition can lead you to avoid danger. You did a good job in this matter. Give me the information of that person, and I will ask my friends in Shanghai to check it out. If there is no problem, you can apologize to him and compensate him somewhere else. If there is really a problem, our call will be meaningful."
Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought so too."
