Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Who would dare to target Fu Mingze when he’s in that state...

Shen Moer’s first reaction was to kick him, but Fu Mingze reacted quickly and immediately stepped back and sat back. Shen Moer looked at the half-plucked chicken lying between them, and suddenly she didn’t know whether to advance or retreat.

Fu Mingze looked up at her, then stood up again unconsciously, looking at her with his dark eyes, as if he was ready to be beaten or scolded: "Otherwise, you kick me, and I promise not to move."

Shen Moer blushed and cursed: "Lecher!"

Fu Mingze raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Comrade Shen Moer was still quite elegant. If it were someone else, he would have scolded her as a hooligan. He couldn't help but smile and said slowly: "Otherwise, I'll let you kiss me back?"

Shen Moer: "..."

I really didn't realize that this guy was actually a shameless rogue.

"Plucking the chicken feathers!" She threw down a sentence and turned away. It was not until she entered the kitchen that her violent heartbeat slowly calmed down, but her face was still hot. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but she quickly realized that her hand was still wet.

Not only her hand was wet, but also the wrist that Fu Mingze had pulled was wet, warm and wet, as if his body temperature was still retained.

"It's so dirty."

Shen Moer muttered, blushing, poured water and washed her hands carefully, applied soap, and rubbed the foam for a long time before finally washing her hands clean.

She raised her hand to her nose and smelled it. There was no other smell, only the fresh smell of soap.

Fu Mingze plucked the chicken feathers thoroughly, cut the chicken open and chopped it, and then he went to light the fire again.

Shen Moer washed and chopped the green onions, ginger and garlic, put cold water in the pot, and put the chopped chicken in the pot. When the water boiled, she skimmed off the blood, added water again, put the chopped ginger, garlic and green onions, and the small purse wrapped in linen into the water, and after it boiled, she asked Fu Mingze to pick up two pieces of firewood, leaving only one piece of firewood to simmer over low heat.

Soon, the rich aroma of chicken soup spread in the air.

Fu Mingze stood up: "This chicken soup is really..."

"Wow, are you stewing chicken? This chicken soup smells so good!" Zheng Jiamin came in noisily and yelled, "Comrade Shen Moli, is there anything I can help you with? Do you need me to fetch water, chop wood, or wash vegetables?"

Fu Mingze glanced at him coldly. Zheng Jiamin looked back in confusion and said, "Mingze, what are you doing here like an idiot? Go do what you should do. We are here to eat for free. We can't just eat without doing anything."

Fu Mingze: "..."

Who is here to eat for free? I come to the target's house to eat, and you are here to eat for free.

He wordlessly took out an axe from the stove and said, "You go chop wood." He also went to get a bucket and prepared to fetch some water.

The Shen family's yard looked much neater after the wall was built, but it was also farther to go to the next door to fetch water. Originally, there were no walls on both sides, so they could just walk in a straight line. Now they have to go through the gate and take a detour.

Shen Moer carried an enamel basin to the well to wash vegetables. Fu Mingze picked up a bucket of water and poured it into the enamel basin. His hands were very steady, and the water didn't splash on Shen Moer at all. There was still half a bucket of water left in the bucket. Fu Mingze glanced at the open door of the brigade headquarters, took a half step back, and stood there watching Shen Moer wash vegetables.

Shen Moer looked at him and said, "You fetch your water."

Fu Mingze said, "You have to wash at least twice. I took the bucket away. What will you wash with?"

Shen Moer said, "You can fetch a bucket first and return it to me."

Fu Mingze said without moving, "I just want to stay here with you."

Shen Moer muttered, "Who wants you to accompany me?" She quickly washed the vegetables and just as she poured out the water, Fu Mingze took the initiative to fetch a bucket to fill it for her. There was

a creaking sound behind her, Zhou Mancang came out of the brigade office and was about to lock the door. Shen Moer looked up and winked at Fu Mingze, wanting him to fetch the water and leave quickly. Fu Mingze looked at her and stood there calmly without moving.

Before Shen Moer could say anything, Zhou Mancang had already locked the door and walked out. He glanced at the two of them, turned around and walked over: "Moer, Fu Zhiqing, what are you doing..."

Shen Moer smiled and said, "Captain, come to my house for dinner. Fu Zhiqing and Zheng Zhiqing will be here to join us in the evening."

Zhou Mancang: "Whose chicken soup is this? It smells so good that we can smell it in the brigade headquarters. Come and eat. They've cooked at home and are waiting for me to go back and serve." How could you easily go to someone's house for dinner these days?

He glanced at Fu Mingze: "Fu Zhiqing, you are helping to fetch water, right? Let's go together. I heard that the experimental field in your Zhiqing site is growing well. Can you tell me about it?"

Fu Mingze stood there as if there was a nail stuck in his foot. He didn't move his foot and said, "I have to help fetch water here. Captain, this matter cannot be explained in a few words. Why don't you come to the Zhiqing site tomorrow and we will go to the vegetable garden to take a look. We can talk about it in detail then."

Zhou Mancang wanted to say that the girl was just washing vegetables, why did he need to stand by and help fetch water? However, he reacted quickly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Hey, you... This is..."

He didn't finish, pointed at Fu Mingze with his finger, shook his head and laughed, and said: "Okay, after lunch tomorrow, I'll go to the educated youth site to take a look."

Shen Moer blushed so much that her ears were burning. After Zhou Mancang walked away, she glared at Fu Mingze: "What nonsense are you talking about with the team leader!"

Fu Mingze: "Where am I talking nonsense? Is it nonsense to help fetch water?"

Shen Moer snorted and said righteously: "I said nonsense, it's nonsense."

Fu Mingze touched his nose and nodded: "Well, whatever the object says is right."

Shen Moer: "..."

Can she return such a reckless object?

However, as soon as Shen Shaoyuan entered the house, the unruly Fu Zhiqing was like a fox that accidentally showed its tail in front of her, and quietly hid its tail again. He was so honest and upright that he didn't even look at her for a second.

At the dinner table, he was also very attentive, holding a pair of clean chopsticks and constantly picking up food for Shen Shaoyuan, and occasionally picking up a chopstick or two for Shen Moer. Shen Shaoyuan glanced at him, and he put down his chopsticks obediently.

Zheng Jiamin expressed his dissatisfaction: "Mingze, I paid for the chicken after all, why don't you give me a piece of meat?"

Fu Mingze said with a stern face: "Did you break your hand? Do you want me to pick up food for you?"

Zheng Jiamin: "Then Uncle Qi and Comrade Shen Moli have fine hands. Although we are here to eat and drink for free, you can't be so blatant in favoring one over the other!"

Shen Shaoyuan took a look at the fool and laughed immediately.

After dinner, Fu Mingze went to wash the dishes on his own initiative, and Zheng Jiamin followed to help. When they were almost done, he brought out a small stool and sat under the eaves to chat with Shen Shaoyuan: "Uncle Shen Qi, when are you going to move into the new house?"

Shen Shaoyuan leaned back on the repaired old chair, looked up at the crescent moon in the dark sky, thought for a while, and said, "Let's wait until the moon is full."

Zheng Jiamin sighed: "Uncle Shen Qi, I didn't know you well before, but now that I know you well, I always feel that you are not like the farmers who have been working hard for generations, but more like the literati who are well-read in poetry and books in ancient texts."

Shen Shaoyuan and Shen Moli, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Zheng Jiamin almost at the same time.

Fu Mingze just came out of the kitchen, followed Shen Moer's line of sight and glanced at Zheng Jiamin. Thinking that he was talking nonsense again, he said, "Zheng Jiamin, let's go home."

Zheng Jiamin: "How can I leave after eating? Let's sit and chat with Uncle Shen Qi. Why go back so early? Are you going to see the sinister face of Shi Wei, that sinister villain?"

He turned around and started chatting with Shen Shaoyuan again: "Uncle Shen Qi, I am not afraid to tell you about our relationship. Shi Wei, our educated youth, is not a good person. I saw him secretly rummaging through Mingze's things. As soon as I walked in, he stood up and said that he saw a cockroach crawling in and wanted to hit it. Tsk, who would believe it? I am wearing glasses and can see it clearly. "

Shen Shaoyuan glanced at him and thought, what is our relationship? Aren't you afraid to tell me this?

Zheng Jiamin: "But Mingze checked and said nothing was missing. I have been secretly watching him these two days. He would wander around Mingze's bed for no reason, and I don't know what he wants to do."

"Do you think he is sick? Mingze is the poorest in the whole educated youth site. Even if he wanted to steal something, he should have come to me, don't you think?"

The other three: "..."

Shen Shaoyuan thought to himself, this little fool, he can flatter but he really has no heart. If he were in the Daliang Palace, I am afraid he would not survive for three days.

"Will he not look for property, but something else?" Shen Moer looked at Fu Mingze.

Fu Mingze was also looking at her, his eyes soothing: "It's okay."

Shen Shaoyuan couldn't bear to see them like this, so he stood up and said: "Okay, you guys go back."

Shen Moer looked at her father and immediately smiled: "Go back, go back, my father has to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

"Come on, Uncle Shen Qi, Comrade Shen Moer, you guys go to bed early. Next time I'll get a chicken when my family sends me the meat coupons. Hey, this chicken soup is really delicious, much better than the one we had when we moved into the new house!" Zheng Jiamin was savoring the wonderful taste of the chicken soup. "Okay

, I'll invite you guys to dinner another day."

Shen Moer said, and stood up to see them off, but what she was thinking was that when she moved into the new house, she hadn't found those medicinal herbs yet, how could it be the same this time?

"Uncle Shen Qi, I'll come another day." Fu Mingze also stood up.

Shen Shaoyuan looked at him, too lazy to say anything, and waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Shen Moer sent the two of them to the gate of the courtyard. Fu Mingze stood at the gate, looked at her deeply, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Zheng Jiamin didn't understand why Fu Mingze said see you tomorrow, but thinking that they were all in the same village, maybe they would see each other tomorrow, so he echoed: "Yes, yes, see you tomorrow, see you tomorrow."

Fu Mingze finally couldn't help but kicked him: "Let's go."

*

The next day, Shen Moer was in class when a baby who was not even of school age ran to the door of the classroom and called out in a baby voice, "Mrs. Shen--"

Shen Moer casually drew a simple cat on the blackboard and told the students to follow her. Then she walked out and touched the baby's furry head and asked, "Who are you? I'll take you home?"

In the school, there were always children who were not even of school age squatting in the playground to play before class in the morning. They were taken away by their parents as soon as class started. No one knew who this child belonged to. Although her skin was a little dark, she had big eyes and was quite interesting.

"I'm from Qiu Qingguo's family." The baby said while slurping.

Shen Moer thought about it and understood. This was the son of the militia captain Zhou Qingguo. Unexpectedly,

Zhou Qingguo, who looked big and strong, had such a lovely little lady.

The baby grabbed Shen Moer's trouser leg: "Outside, outside, there's someone..."

Shen Moer responded: "Is there someone outside looking for me?"

She bent down and picked up the baby, took out a fruit candy from her pocket and stuffed it into the small pocket of the baby's coat: "Look, you already have two candies in your pocket."

The baby smiled with millet teeth.

When she was almost at the school gate, Shen Moer saw Wang Qiutong standing outside the school gate. She didn't know what urgent matter she had, like an ant on a hot pot, she kept circling there.

As soon as she saw Shen Moer, she took a few quick steps forward and said rapidly: "Comrade Moer, go to the brigade headquarters quickly! Several people from the commune revolutionary committee have come to investigate Fu Zhiqing. We are not familiar with them, so Zheng Zhiqing asked me to come and call you. Zheng Zhiqing said that your family background is good, and Uncle Shen Qi knows a few people in the commune. See if he can help find someone to plead for you?"

Shen Moer frowned and asked: "Why does the commune revolutionary committee want to investigate Fu Zhiqing?"

Wang Qiutong: "They said that someone wrote a letter of denunciation, reporting his petty-bourgeois style, and that he wrote reactionary remarks in his book. I don't know the details, but as soon as he was called away, I ran to find you."

Shen Moer nodded to show that she understood.

Wang Qiutong was probably afraid that going directly to look for her would cause unnecessary trouble, so she kidnapped a baby to pass the message for her.

But the baby was too small, wasn't she afraid that she would go to the wrong classroom and not be able to find anyone?

But the amazing thing was that she really found the person smoothly.

"Let's go and take a look first." Shen Moer said.

Thinking of what Zheng Jiamin said last night, Shen Moer suspected that this matter might be related to Shi Wei.

She carried the baby all the way to the door of the brigade office. Shen Moer realized belatedly and reacted: "Hey, we should have sent the kid home first."

"If he doesn't go home, he will go find him." The baby looked innocent.

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Qingguo came out of the brigade office: "Congsong, why are you here?"

He hurriedly took his daughter over. Shen Moer suspected that if she was a little slower, he might have snatched her away.

"Brother Qingguo, what's going on in there?" Shen Moer asked.

Zhou Qingguo was in his thirties, with a sunburned face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous look. He was a retired soldier, and he stood there with a baby in his arms, as straight as a javelin.

"Someone wrote a letter of denunciation, reporting Fu Zhiqing's petty-bourgeois behavior. He already had half a bar of soap, but he went out to buy a whole bar of soap and hid it. When many people didn't even have half a bar of soap, he took more and used more, and occupied more production materials."

Zhou Qingguo obviously thought that this report was incredible, but that was how it was in those days. If a female comrade wore a brightly colored hairpin in her hair, or wore a slightly unusual skirt, she might be criticized for her petty-bourgeois behavior.

"A piece of soap is nothing. The most important thing is that they reported that he had problems with his sexual conduct. Also, the book he read contained reactionary remarks."

At this point, Zhou Qingguo glanced at Wang Qiutong and said, "It just so happens that Wang Zhiqing, I was just about to look for you. The people from the Revolutionary Committee said they want to talk to you."

Wang Qiutong was bewildered, "Why talk to me?"

Shen Moli had already reacted and asked with a subtle expression, "Could the person who reported it be reporting that Fu Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing had problems with their sexual conduct?"

Zhou Qingguo, "That's right."

He looked at Wang Qiutong carefully and said, "Wang Zhiqing and Fu Zhiqing seem to be a good match. You are both unmarried, so as long as they are normal dating partners, Don’t do things you shouldn’t do before getting married, and the Revolutionary Committee won’t do anything to you.”

His words were clearly meant to comfort Wang Qiutong, but Wang Qiutong immediately screamed, and was no longer nervous or afraid, and started cursing: “Ahhh, who’s crazy, is he blind, he said that Fu Mingze and I have sexual problems? ! Look at Fu Mingze’s appearance, which girl dares to be his partner, is it because the winter is not cold enough, so you go to Fu Mingze to see his cold face? Or do you think your life is too comfortable, without people saying cold words to you every day? You’re crazy, you’re crazy!”

In fact, there was one more sentence Wang Qiutong didn’t dare to say: Do you think the water in the stream is not deep enough, so you can find someone to kick you in at any time? Zhou Qingguo

, who had not expected Wang Qiutong to react so strongly, said: "..."

Shen Moer, who asked "Which girl dares to be his target": "..."

Everyone inside the open door of the brigade office: "..."

The people from the Revolutionary Committee were led by two cadres, a man and a woman, both in their twenties. The man wore a pair of black-framed glasses and had a serious expression, while the woman had neat short haircuts and a smile on her lips, but her eyes were particularly sharp.

"Is the one outside the educated youth Wang Qiutong mentioned in the report?" The female cadre looked at Zhou Mancang and asked.

Zhou Mancang nodded: "Yeah, that's her."

He looked at Fu Mingze standing beside him, hesitant to speak. Judging from the situation yesterday, Fu Zhiqing should have been talking to the daughter of Shen Laoqi's family, but after being called over by the Revolutionary Committee, he didn't mention Shen Moer at all.

The female cadre laughed: "It doesn't sound like they are dating."

After a pause, she asked again: "What about the other one?"

Fu Mingze suddenly said: "Deputy Director Wu, Deputy Director Sun, Comrade Wang Qiutong and I are just ordinary revolutionary comrades. We don't have any contact beyond the relationship of comrades. There is no basis for this. It is obvious that someone is slandering Comrade Wang Qiutong and me."

"As for the reactionary remarks in the high school textbooks, I have just proved that such bad handwriting could not have come from my hand. I bought these books from the purchasing station a while ago, and it is obvious that these words were written by someone else. Now I suspect that the person who wrote these reactionary remarks is in the educated youth camp. Since we have to investigate, then let everyone investigate. Otherwise, we will allow such bad elements who spread rumors and slander and reactionary remarks to hide in the educated youth camp. If this continues, it will definitely undermine the stability and unity of our revolutionary team."

The female cadre, Deputy Director Wu, groaned in silence. Deputy Director Sun raised his black-framed glasses and said, "Investigate. If there is a problem, of course we must investigate! The leaders have high hopes for the educated youth. We must resolutely catch the pests hidden in the educated youth team!"

Zhou Qingguo, who was holding his little daughter, was called in again. Deputy Director Sun instructed him to take the militia to search the dormitory of the educated youth.

The educated youth originally worked in the sun-drying field. After the people of the Revolutionary Committee called Fu Mingze away, they asked them to return to the educated youth site and wait for orders, ready to be interviewed at any time. When

Deputy Director Sun led the people of the Revolutionary Committee and the militia in, the educated youth were sitting in the main hall, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Fu Mingze usually didn't have much contact with the villagers, and the villagers didn't know the situation of the educated youth camp. It was obvious that the person who wrote the report this time must be an educated youth.

The educated youth suddenly felt a little insecure.

When they saw the people from the Revolutionary Committee coming in, many of them stood up directly, looking at them in silence with ugly faces as they walked into the dormitory. From time to time, someone was called in to cooperate with the inspection.

Deputy Director Sun stood directly in the dormitory of the male educated youth and watched.

Fu Mingze lived in this room. If someone really spread reactionary remarks and wrote them in his book, it was more likely that this person was a male educated youth.

Not long after, a small clerk of the Revolutionary Committee found a worn-out notebook in the corner of a bed. He opened it and took a look. His expression suddenly changed. He quickly walked to Deputy Director Sun and handed him the notebook.

Deputy Director Sun glanced at it, his face slightly gloomy, pointed at the bed and asked: "Whose is this?"

Zhang Zhiqiang was called in, took a look at the bed that Deputy Director Sun pointed to, and said: "This is Shi Wei's bed."

Deputy Director Sun waved his hand and said: "Control this Shi Wei."
