Chapter 5 005 Chu Song's reputation is damaged
The child was stunned, as if he didn't expect to be hit. His mouth pouted and he burst into tears on the spot.
Chu Song withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. The greater the force he used, the greater the force she returned it.
fair enough.
The people around them were huddled together, and no one noticed what the two were doing. Only after the little brat's father heard the crying did he react a little bit late. He quickly picked him up and asked, "Dabao, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Someone hit me!"
"Who?" The dark, thin, middle-aged man's expression changed immediately. "Who dares to hit you?"
The child, now with someone to lean on, immediately pointed his finger arrogantly, "That's her! She hit me!"
"Ah?" Chu Song blinked. "Me? But you're fine, why would I hit you?"
The middle-aged man was also a little confused, but he still said stubbornly: "Who knows why you hit my son? My son never lies or cheats!"
"You're his father, so of course you'll speak up for him. How do we know if your son is lying?" Chu Song glanced at the people watching the show. "Otherwise, everyone, please give me some judgment. Why would I hit him for no reason? You two, father and son, can't just slander me just because I'm easy to bully!"
Chu Song's words made perfect sense, and someone immediately spoke up for her: "That's right, the girl is fine, why did you hit your son?"
The child explained guiltily: "Maybe I just touched her accidentally." In fact, he was jealous of the candied haws in her hand, so he deliberately reached out to "teach" her a lesson.
"are you sure?"
"right!"
Chu Song laughed: "So it was you who stole my money! Okay, I'm going to call the police to catch the thief!"
The child was dumbfounded: "I didn't steal your money!"
"You were the only one who touched my pocket just now, and you admitted it yourself. If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Are you saying that someone else around stole my money?"
As soon as she said this, the onlookers hurriedly cleared themselves of suspicion: "Don't talk nonsense, we didn't steal your money."
"What's wrong with you, kid? I think you stole it, and you didn't admit it after stealing the money!"
"One moment he says this, the next he says that. I can see that he doesn't tell the truth."
Being accused by so many people, no matter how arrogant the middle-aged man was, he felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He said angrily: "You are lying! You said we stole your money, where is the evidence?"
"Then why not search them? I lost two dimes in total. Can you search them for me to see if they have my two dimes?"
The middle-aged man froze. He had money on him, but it was his own money.
"I didn't steal your money, it was mine!"
"How shameless! He stole it from me, yet he still claims it's his!"
"I don't!"
Chu Song had already completely taken the lead. She countered, "You say there's no evidence? Where's the evidence? Your son just admitted it. I'm going to call the police and let them judge the matter!"
She turned her head and looked to the other side. "I'm asking you again, did you steal my money?"
The child was frightened and started crying, his face flushed red: "I didn't!"
"Did I hit you just now?"
“…N-No.”
People around were whispering, their eyes filled with contempt.
Chu Song feigned generosity and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. Everyone is here to buy things, and I don't want to affect everyone because of two cents. Just consider it my bad luck today. This way, if you apologize to me, I can pretend that nothing happened."
The child, with tears in his eyes, said aggrievedly, "I'm sorry."
"Louder! I didn't hear you."
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Chu Song: "Okay, I forgive you. I also hope that some parents will teach their children well in the future."
Applause suddenly broke out in the crowd. No one knew who started it, but everyone started clapping one after another. Although Chu Song was a little caught off guard, he still accepted it with pleasure.
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he slapped his son on the back of the head. "What are you doing all day long? I'll deal with you when I get home!"
The force was much stronger than before. The child started sobbing, and then he was slapped again and didn't dare to cry anymore.
Chu Song felt relieved.
She weighed a pound of peach cakes and bought half a pound of fruit candies, then walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with a proud and confident look.
All the money he had was spent, and Chu Hang still hadn't come back, so Chu Song had no choice but to stand on the road leading back from the grain and oil station and wait for someone.
But instead of waiting for her elder brother, she saw Lu Minglin and Cen Zimu coming over first, both of them carrying large and small bags.
Chu Song's face was full of envy. It was in the direction of the post office. It looked like the supplies his parents had sent.
She couldn't help but miss the cheap parents in modern times. There was almost no love between them, only money and material things.
very nice.
Cen Zimu also saw her and walked over to greet her with a smile: "Hey, Comrade Xiao Chu, why are you here? Where is your brother?"
"I went to buy feed. I'm waiting for him."
"Grain and oil station?"
"yes."
Cen Zimu said, "Your brother should no longer be at the grain and oil station. We just passed by there and it was closed."
"Ah?" Chu Song thought, it was inconvenient without a mobile phone, the two of them didn't know when they missed each other.
"Why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative and wait? Your brother will definitely go there, and we happen to be going there too."
Chu Song looked up at the people and saw Lu Minglin nodding.
"Alright, let's go."
The three of them traveled together. Cen Zimu was relatively lively and talked a lot, and soon became familiar with Chu Song. Lu Minglin was much more aloof and didn't speak much, only responding softly occasionally.
Although he is young, he has the air of an old cadre. Chu Song secretly gave himself the nickname: Brother Strong.
The three of them returned to the supply and marketing cooperative, and coincidentally, Chu Hang had just come out.
Chu Song quickly shouted, "Brother!"
Chu Hang came over: "Xianxian, you are here. I was just about to go look for you."
Chu Song's eyes suddenly fell on Chu Hang's hands. She clenched her fists and subconsciously took a step forward, attracted by the sight. She said in surprise, "You bought meat!"
"Yes, it's good to improve the food at home occasionally." Chu Hang thought to himself, his little sister was crying for meat every day at home, and his mother must feel bad when she heard it. So, she specifically asked him to bring some meat back this time.
However, he didn't feel comfortable revealing his sister's secrets in front of the two male educated youth.
Chu Song immediately cheered: "Great."
He was so happy as a fool that even Lu Minglin couldn't help but look sideways.
Chu Hang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then asked how they met.
Cen Zimu recounted what had happened and replied, "It just happened to be on our way, so we went together."
Chu Hang nodded in understanding. He was a simple and honest person, and thinking about having to take a ride back later, he suggested, "Are you thirsty? I see there's soy milk over there. I'll go get some soy milk and we can quench our thirst."
"Okay, okay." Chu Song was not thirsty, he was just greedy.
She has never tasted soy milk of this era.
Lu Minglin declined directly, and Cen Zimu felt a little embarrassed. "No, Brother Chu, how can I do this?"
"It's just a bowl of soy milk, why are you being so distant?" Chu Song's expression was serious, and he even started to use moral blackmail, "Do you look down on our Chu family?"
Cen Zimu's scalp tightened: "...Of course not."
"That's all." Chu Song had a determined attitude, and he urged, "Brother, don't just stand there. Go buy it."
Chu Hang knew her little thoughts, and it was obvious that she was greedy, but he didn't expose her. He smiled and said, "Okay, you wait."
Light soy milk is two cents a bowl, and sweet soy milk is three cents a bowl. Chu Hang bought four bowls of sweet soy milk, which were still piping hot and had a strong bean aroma.
Chu Song sighed simply, "It would be nice if I could drink it every day."
Chu Hang said, "When Big Brother becomes rich, I will buy you sweet soy milk every day."
"Brother, you are really my good brother!"
Chu Hang smiled innocently, but it was a pity that he looked like a fool who could never get rich.
After drinking the soy milk, the four of them parted ways. Lu Minglin and his friends had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, while Chu Song and Chu Hang, two poor guys, wandered around the county town.
If you can't afford it, just take a look.
On the way back, Chu Hang hitchhiked as usual. He bought nearly 300 kilograms of pig feed, and with the scattered packages of other people, the space in the carriage was obviously much narrower.
Chu Song sniffed. Maybe she was really hungry, as she actually thought the pig feed smelled quite good.
"Brother, can I change places with you?" Stay away from the pig feed.
"Okay." Although Chu Hang didn't know why she wanted to change seats, he readily agreed.
Chu Song finally felt better. She supported her chin and stared blankly. Chu Hang's mind was full of how to raise big fat pigs, and he was exchanging experiences with several aunties.
Then she heard Lu Minglin suddenly say, "Curiosity is harmful. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for humans to consume pig feed."
Chu Song: “…”
She couldn't help but look up at Lu Minglin, who was also looking at her with an expression that was... indescribable.
Chu Song gritted his teeth: "No normal person would eat pig feed!"
My brother said, "That's not necessarily true. I heard there's a lazy guy in the next village who was so hungry that he had to steal pig feed because he couldn't afford to eat."
Lu Minglin explained seriously: "Although pig feed contains a lot of vitamins and nutrients, it also contains a lot of antibiotics that are harmful to the human body. In serious cases, it can cause liver problems."
"You know so much."
"I just happened to read a little bit about it in a book."
Chu Song said sarcastically, "Brother, look, you're an expert at raising pigs."
Chu Hang didn't detect any sarcasm in his words. Instead, he praised sincerely, "As expected of an educated youth from the city, you know more than us. Comrade Minglin, can I ask you questions about this in the future?"
Lu Minglin: “…sure.”
Cen Zimu was almost injured from trying to hold back his laughter. He bumped into someone with his shoulder and said in a tone even more offensive than Chu Song: "Little expert in raising pigs~"
Chu Song secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Lu Minglin felt a little helpless, but he had misunderstood others first, so now he could only let others tease him.
-
The tractor stopped at the entrance of the village, not far from the warehouse. With the help of Lu Minglin and Cen Zimu, Chu Hang quickly moved all the pig feed into the warehouse. He also carefully checked the lock, saying that it was just in case and that someone should be careful not to steal the feed.
Chu Song: “…”
Lean north, your reputation will be damaged.
After finishing all this, the two of them returned home before dinner time. As soon as they met, she stuffed a candy into Ye Xiuzhi's mouth.
"Is it sweet? Is it sweet? I bought it especially for you."
Ye Xiuzhi nodded subconsciously, "Sweet."
"Then give me some more pocket money, and I'll buy you something sweeter next time."
The fox couldn't hide its tail. Ye Xiuzhi glared at him and said, "Are you looking for a fight?"
Chu Song didn't hold out much hope to begin with. If she didn't give it to him, then she wouldn't give it to him. She whined, "I'm hungry. When will dinner be served?"
Speaking of this, Ye Xiuzhi asked curiously, "Why did you come back so early? I thought you had lunch in the city and your family didn't even cook for you."
"I took a ride on the car of the educated youth in the team." Chu Hang explained the whole story.
Ye Xiuzhi nodded, "Then I'll go knead the dough, you guys can just eat some later."
"Wait, wait!" Chu Song was the only one who looked as if the sky had fallen. "So we can stay in the city for dinner?"
She worked so hard to go to the city, but she didn't even get a meat bun!
