Before meeting Liu Kai, Chen Nongmo had always been afraid of Liu Kai in his deepest sense.
But when I really faced this person, I suddenly felt that my previous fear and dread were too much.
No wonder she dared to be so presumptuous, she was indeed a heinous murderer in the original book. After coming to Shanshun Village, she did the hardest and most tiring farm work every day.
Chen Nongmo looked at it from a distance twice.
After a few days, not only did Liu Kai lose the respectability he had when he first arrived, he was also extremely dirty and muddy, and a suffocating sour and foul odor could be smelled from a distance.
How should I put it? It's very satisfying, but I really can't feel much fear anymore.
She didn't ask the old secretary why he deliberately made things difficult for people, but she guessed that the old man must have seen something.
After all, although he was not enthusiastic about the educated youth in the past, he would not deliberately make trouble for them.
Of course, Chen Nongmo would not sympathize with Liu Kai because of his current situation, and he even still remained wary of him.
She was just waiting for the day when the guy with the devil in his heart would tear off the human skin.
"Going to the fields again? Didn't I tell you not to go?" Hearing some noise in the yard, Cao Qiuhua poked her head out of the kitchen window and saw her daughter, who looked particularly petite against her husband, following behind him. She asked helplessly.
After saying this, she glared at her husband, annoyed that he didn't stop her.
It’s not that she, as a mother, is holding her child back and not letting her go out.
She used to be eager to do so, but the sun has been very strong recently and a young girl's skin is delicate and easily sunburned.
Another thing is that a little girl like her doesn't need to do any of the farm work like fertilizing, weeding, pest control and irrigation.
Chen Zong was not annoyed by his wife's glare. He just smiled good-naturedly and picked up his farm tools to go to the utility room.
"I wanted to go to the fields to help Father Zong, but he wouldn't let me." Chen Nongmo muttered a few words, then smiled and walked to the window with the bamboo basket, showing Qiuhua's mother the harvest he had that morning: "These were all given to me by the aunties in the village."
"Wow, this is a great harvest?" Early autumn is a good season for fruits to ripen. There are not only peaches in the small bamboo basket, but also two bunches of grapes and a few red tomatoes with only a little bit of green left.
"Yes, they were all given by the aunts. She gave me one, you gave me a bunch. If my basket wasn't small, there would be more. Oh, look, I also put some wild flowers on the basket. Don't they look nice?"
"Haha. It looks good. My daughter is very skillful. Everything she makes looks good. Give me the biggest tomato on top. I'll slice it and eat it with sugar at noon."
"Okay, I'll wash it with well water and give it to you."
“.”
= Same time.
Compared to the warmth and comfort of the Chen family at the foot of the mountain, Liu Kai, who had just completed the task assigned by the captain, was exhausted and almost staggered back to Dashan's home.
Seeing someone coming in, Dashan's father Chen Gui smiled innocently and greeted him: "Liu Zhiqing is back, and we are waiting for you to have dinner."
Hearing this, Liu Kai, whose eyes turned green from hunger, subconsciously looked towards the table.
As expected, apart from the porridge that was so thin that it could reflect your shadow, there was only black-faced pancakes and a plate of very salty pickles on the table.
In fact, the pancake is not small and is enough to fill the stomach. For many families, it is considered a luxurious meal.
But this is completely incomparable to Liu Kai's previous life.
Especially after a week in Shanshun Village, these two things were the only thing I had for every meal.
Not to mention meat, he had never even seen oily fish. It was considered good to have a plate of salted water and cucumbers.
Liu Kai is a smart man. His experiences over the past few days have been enough to make him realize that everyone in Shanshun Village is deliberately making things difficult for him.
I also roughly understand why I am being bullied.
I have to say, he regretted it.
Of course, he didn't regret having evil thoughts. Aren't beautiful women meant to seduce men? What he regretted was that he shouldn't have accidentally revealed his thoughts because Chen Nongmo was too beautiful, which led to the difficulties he faced now.
Of course, in addition to regret, there is also resentment.
Resentment arises from poor mountains and bad waters that produce unruly people.
He was angry that there was no normal person in the entire village. Because of a test, they treated him like a workhorse.
Isn't it just a way to warn him and tame him, so that he won't dare to have any thoughts about the woman named Chen Nongmo again?
He refused! After these few days of difficulties, the desire in his heart was aroused even more.
There is even a twisted feeling that the more difficult the hunting stage is, the sweeter the prey tastes when it is caught in the mouth.
Of course, he couldn't continue wasting time. He didn't want to collapse from exhaustion before he could get the food.
As long as he held on for a while longer, and waited for everyone to relax, he would rape the person, and then immediately leave this damn place. Who would be able to find him with a different identity? Anyway, this name was fake.
Thinking of this, countless ways to get the person had already rolled over in his mind, but Liu Kai, who showed no abnormality on his face, smiled at Chen Gui in a good-tempered manner: "Thank you, Uncle Gui, I'll take a shower and change clothes and come back, you guys eat first, you don't have to wait for me."
Dashan watched the man walk into the corner room, reluctantly looking away, looking at his father who had already started eating, lowering his voice and saying, "Dad, is it bad for us to eat the meat secretly? Are you really not going to give it to Comrade Liu? I think he has a good temper, he doesn't look like a bad person."
Hearing this, Chen Gui poked his son helplessly with chopsticks: "He doesn't have a good temper, he has become an immortal."
"What do you mean?"
Facing the blank look of his silly son, Chen Gui smacked his lips twice, and a shrewd look appeared in his small eyes: "Just remember, kid, stay away from people with such a Bodhisattva temper in the future."
Dashan was even more confused. He sat down opposite his father, picked up a black-faced pancake, took a bite, and said vaguely, "Isn't the Bodhisattva good?"
"Buddha is good, but people are not Buddha. Everyone has a temper. If Liu Kai gets angry and resists, I, your father, will not stare at him like this." Chen Gui does not understand the big principles, and he can't even recognize a few big words, but he has decades of life experience and has personally witnessed the massacre of the village by the Japanese devils from Country R.
Having seen the most evil existence in this world, one can tell that something is wrong with Liu Zhiqing.
Chen Gui couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but he just felt that the way he looked at people made people feel uncomfortable even when he was smiling.
Moreover, he believed in the ability of the old secretary. Since he felt that there was something wrong with Liu Kai, then there must be something really wrong. It would not be wrong to keep a closer eye on him.
Although Dashan was still confused, he obeyed and responded seriously: "Don't worry, I will stay away from him."
= "What's going on with you two these days? Are you running out every day?"
During lunch time, the twin brothers, who had been out for half the morning, came back sweating profusely. When Cao Qiuhua came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, he frowned subconsciously when he saw them.
Chen Jun did not tell his mother about his sister being coveted by the scum. Given his mother's personality, if she knew, even if she was just suspicious, she would probably not be able to sleep well for a long time.
So when he heard the question, he put the towel in the basin and washed it with well water, and replied with a smile: "Go find Erzhu and the others to catch fish."
It was hot in the summer, and all three meals were eaten under the ventilated and spacious eaves. Cao Qiuhua put the dishes on the table under the eaves and glanced at the two brothers: "Where's the fish? Didn't you catch it?"
Chen Jun, who is not good at lying, just buried his head in washing his hands, leaving the stage for his younger brother to perform.
Chen Yi wiped his cheeks and neck with a freshly washed towel. When the coolness touched his skin, he exhaled comfortably and replied slowly, "It's not healed yet. Isn't there a small river behind the village? We've been draining the water this morning. I'll pick up the fish in the afternoon after the water is drained."
Thinking his son was telling the truth, Cao Qiuhua did not pursue the topic any further. He just said, "A boy is a boy, with thick skin and flesh, and he doesn't mind the sun."
Before I finished, I turned around and went to the kitchen to get some rice, still a little skeptical: "Are there any fish in that stream? It's all floating grass, even if there are fish, they will be suffocated to death. Don't work hard all day and get nothing."
Seeing his mother leave, Chen Jun, who had been holding his breath, gave his brother, who was talking nonsense in a serious tone, a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being the fifth brother."
Chen Yi glanced at the fourth brother without saying anything. He calculated the agreed time in his mind. It was almost time to go to the village committee to call Brother Shao Zheng to ask about the progress.
". Lao Wu, your lies will be exposed if our mother takes a stroll in the village, right?"
Chen Yi came back to his senses, changed the basin of water, washed the towel and hung it on the bamboo pole: "After dinner, you can go find Erzhuzi to drain the water and catch fish."
As he said this, he kicked the fourth brother who was just swiping the towel a few times and about to hang it on the bamboo pole: "It's not clean."
Chen Jun, who had been clearly arranged by his younger brother the entire afternoon, was about to protest with gritted teeth when he saw Lao Wu turn around and look at his mother who came out of the kitchen.
Chen Jun, who was successfully threatened, shrank his head and behaved obediently.
= The family sat together at the dinner table.
Cao Qiuhua ate a few mouthfuls of food, then seemed to remember something and asked Lao Si: "Why have you been at home lately? Aren't you going to the county town to learn how to drive?"
Unprepared, Chen Jun, who was fighting with his sister for candied persimmons, felt his scalp go numb. He subconsciously looked at his brother and stammered, "Yes, yes, why don't I go to learn how to drive?"
Chen Yi looked amused: "Didn't I say a few days ago that the driving instructor was going on a long-distance trip and gave you a holiday?"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, I have forgotten everything, that's it."
Seeing that something was not right with Old Four, Cao Qiuhua frowned and put down his chopsticks: "Why do I feel like there's something weird about you?"
Facing the suspicious looks from his mother and sister, Chen Jun stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with me?"
"I don't blame you for stuttering."
"Who is stuttering?"
Sighing inwardly, Chen Yi reached out and picked up a piece of food for his mother and sister, then changed the subject: "I heard something in the village today, but I don't know if it's true."
Hearing this, Cao Qiuhua was indeed attracted: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know where Third Grandma got a folk remedy from. It says that peeling a boiled egg, putting it in the child's mouth and coating it with saliva before taking it out is a great tonic. If this is true, you should go and persuade her. How can there be such a strange folk remedy? Don't make your body worse instead of getting any good." Although it was used to divert his mother's attention, it was also true. It was not easy for Chen Jun, a junior, to go and say anything. Besides, Third Grandma would not listen even if she said anything, so she thought of asking her parents to go there.
Chen Nongmo was stunned when he heard about such a folk remedy for the first time, not to mention how he could eat the egg that had been swallowed by his father.
It's this □□'s saliva. As far as she knows, it also contains trace amounts of toxins, right?
Thinking of this, she quickly looked at Qiuhua's mother, who was already pale, and said, "That won't do. I seem to have read in a book that the saliva of the □□ is poisonous. A little bit won't have any effect, but long-term use is definitely not good. If Third Grandma doesn't listen, you can tell the old secretary."
My third grandmother is in her seventies. She is a very kind person, but she is too old-fashioned.
I don’t believe that I can save money in the bank, I would rather save it and take it out every year to show it off.
When the child is sick, he doesn't trust the hospital and only looks for folk remedies.
A while ago I heard that she was going door to door looking for dung beetles.
Although dung beetle is a traditional Chinese medicine, it cannot be taken without medical advice.
No matter what, we must find the right medicine for every problem.
At that time, the old secretary scolded the man and finally persuaded him to calm down. Unexpectedly, less than two months later, another leper came.
Thinking of this, Chen Nongmo's face turned green. He didn't know what kind of folk remedy the old lady would find next time.
To put it bluntly, the grandson of my third grandmother, who was diagnosed by the doctor as being able to recover by moving his tibia more and eating more nutritious food, is still very pale when he is in his teens. Maybe it is because he took too many folk remedies.
"No, I'll go now." Cao Qiuhua, who had finally suppressed the feeling of nausea, didn't even bother to eat. He put down his chopsticks and went to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Chen Zong wiped his mouth and went to the corner of the yard to push his bicycle.
When he drove the car out of the yard and got in, Cao Qiuhua had already come out carrying a few mung bean cakes.
Chen Nongmo raised his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Then he followed and climbed onto the back seat swiftly: "Dad Zong, I'm going too."
Cao Qiuhua, holding a mung bean cake, stood aside and glared: "What are you doing up here?" As he said that, he was about to reach out and pull the person out of the car.
Chen Zong smiled and stopped him: "If my daughter wants to watch, let's go together. You sit on the big bar."
Chen Nongmo hid behind Zong's father: "That's right, I haven't seen □□ swallowing eggs yet."
"What's so good about that?" Cao Qiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He poked his daughter's forehead with his hand before sitting on the big bar.
The twins who were left behind looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Jun touched his nose and said, "Aren't we going to catch up?"
Chen Yi quickened his eating speed: "No, Dad is here, I'm just going to call Brother Shao Zheng."
"Then I'll go too!"
"You go fishing with Erzhuzi."
".oh."
= 738 troops.
After getting information about Liu Kai from his friends, Shao Zheng went to find Lao Chen.
My sister-in-law is pregnant, so apart from work, Lao Chen has spent most of his time on his family.
Before he was sure that Liu Kai really had a problem, Shao Zheng didn't think of distracting him.
But now, I have to say it.
"Why are you here? Let's go to the cafeteria to eat together?" The two of them are now in charge of the first and second regiments respectively. Compared with before, their offices are quite far apart.
Shao Zheng waved his hand: "Ask Xiao Liu to bring two servings for us when he goes to dinner. I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Chen Wuwen frowned, but did not ask anything in a hurry. Instead, he took out two empty lunch boxes from the lower cabinet door and went outside to call the waiter.
After the people walked away, he returned to his seat, crossed his arms, and asked seriously, "Tell me, what happened?"
Shao Zheng then recounted what happened when Chen Yi came to see him a few days ago.
Finally, under his brother's sullen face, he continued, "My friend checked it out. After checking the information provided by the village with the household registration, he confirmed that Liu Kai died last year, but his family didn't go to apply for a death certificate for him."
Household registration management is not strict these days. Some families are not unwilling to go, but they simply do not know that there is such a procedure.
There are still many people who have no concept of marriage registration. In their opinion, a marriage is formal only when a banquet is held at home.
Chen Wuwen controlled his anger and asked in a deep voice, "How long does your friend say it will take to find out the grandson's true identity?"
"He said it shouldn't take a few days. That person has a rare item like a camera, so his family should be well-off, and he probably knows the real Liu Kai, otherwise he wouldn't have borrowed this identity. If we follow this line of thought and check one by one, it won't take long. He came to you to say that since he has confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with the fake guy in the village, he should first explain it to his family."
Chen Wuwen also agreed with his suggestion: "I need to talk to Lao Wu. By the way, you just said that you and Lao Wu have agreed on the next time to talk on the phone?"
"Yes, today."
"Then wait for him to call." Chen Wuwen didn't want his mother and sister to worry about such a dirty thing: "Thanks for this time, brother!"
Shao Zheng waved his hand: "There is no need for such words between you and me, brothers."
Hearing this, Chen Wuwen's gloomy face lightened up a little, but before he could say anything else, he heard the man opposite him say with a smile:
"Yuyu is also my sister. She loves me so much. She has sent me so many things in the past two or three years. As a brother, it is only natural for me to care about her."
"If you can't speak, then just say less."
= This side.
Chen Zong took his wife and daughter and rode his bicycle to his third grandmother's house.
Only then did they realize that not only they had come, but many villagers had also come over and were all crowded in the yard to watch the fun.
Some people were still holding their bowls in their hands, eating while watching.
Chen Nongmo was led into the yard by Qiuhua's mother.
Then I saw the third grandmother with her wrinkled face drooping. She ignored the old secretary's muttering and just stuffed something in her mouth.
Chen Nongmo. Ugh. "Alright, Third Sister-in-law, I don't care which god you got the prescription from, if you keep harming my child, I will take Erbao home to raise him." No matter how he tried to persuade her, the old secretary, who was always smiling at others, was so angry that he threatened.
After saying those harsh words, he looked at the raw, hard-boiled egg that he had taken out of □□'s mouth with some regret, and thought to himself that it was a pity, because eggs are good things.
It has to be said that after dealing with each other for decades, the old secretary's words directly hit the sore spot of Third Grandma.
Erbao is her lifeblood, how could she bear to let someone else take him in and raise him? So, the anxious and aggrieved old lady grabbed an egg and put it into her mouth, shouting, "I'll eat it for you to see, I'll eat it for you to see now! Is it poisonous? Erbao is my sweetheart! How can I harm him? This is the recipe I got from Master Zhou at a great price, it will definitely cure my Erbao!"
The egg, covered with saliva, was about to be put into the old lady's mouth.
Chen Zong reacted very quickly. While everyone was exclaiming, he had already stepped forward and snatched it away.
Then he turned around and handed it out along with the other egg in the bowl.
Chen Nongmo, who was following closely behind Zong's father, subconsciously reached out to take it and ran out.
I breathed a sigh of relief only after I was sure that the old lady hadn't caught up with me.
Just looking at the hot potato in his hand, Chen Nongmo's whole face wrinkled again.
Although it didn't have much taste, she still felt nauseous and really didn't want to hold it in her hand.
Chen Nongmo, who felt disgusted and didn't want to touch her for a moment, looked around, and finally stood on tiptoe to put the bowl on the courtyard wall where the old lady couldn't reach.
Worried that the children watching the fun in the yard might eat something by mistake, she didn't go in, but stood in the corner waiting for her parents to come out.
But I didn't expect that there are such coincidences in the world.
Just outside the courtyard wall, a bird popped out of his mouth. Liu Kai, who was about to go to the educated youth site to buy some food, saw a bowl suddenly appear on the courtyard wall from a distance.
He didn't think much about it at first, but when he walked outside the wall, out of curiosity, he quietly took the bowl down.
After seeing clearly what was inside, the man, who had been eating coarse grains that hurt his throat for a week, didn't think twice and wolfed down the egg, then carefully put the empty bowl back.
Just as he was enjoying the deliciousness of the eggs, he heard a few conversations.
The first thing I heard was a deep male voice: "Yuyu, where are the two eggs that □□ took out of his mouth?"
"On the wall. I'm hiding on it."
"Take it down and throw it into the pond to feed the fish."
"Hey? Why are the eggs gone?"
Thinking he was discovered, Liu Kai covered his mouth and ran for a long distance. It was not until he swallowed the egg in his mouth that he realized what the words he had just heard meant.
Behind the desolate haystack, a man with a dishevelled face knelt on the ground and pinched his throat: "Ugh"
