Chapter 47 Chapter 47 You were just about to talk about your last life, but I heard it...
Zheng Jiamin also ran over, his face full of shock: "What, that notebook is yours? If not, why haven't I seen it before?!"
Fu Mingze glanced at him, and Zheng Jiamin inexplicably felt that Fu Mingze's eyes were like looking at a fool. He was speechless and at the same time had a hint of pity. Then he heard Fu Mingze say: "To be precise, this notebook is actually yours."
Zheng Jiamin was confused: "How is it possible? I don't have such a broken notebook."
Fu Mingze explained: "It's the notebook you used to record accounts for a few days. Later, you said it was useless to throw it away, so you gave it to me to make a draft. I tore off the cover and threw it in the vegetable garden for a few days. It has been exposed to the sun and rain, and maybe it has been scared by insects and pecked by birds, and it has become like this."
Zheng Jiamin: "...So you actually found out that someone had written on the textbook a long time ago, and you deliberately kept silent, waiting for the other party to make trouble? No, why didn't you tell me, I didn't know anything, and when the Revolutionary Committee came over today, I was almost scared silly."
Fu Mingze looked at him silently.
Zheng Jiamin was silent for two seconds, and said: "Yes, that's right, you can't tell me, if you tell me, I guarantee that I will reveal my true colors in front of them."
Shen Moer: "..."
Wang Qiutong: "..."
You are quite self-aware.
"I said Shi Wei was secretly looking through your things. He had no good intentions, did he? I didn't expect him to be so vicious and write reactionary remarks in your book. This is too scary. If you hadn't discovered it early, you would have been the one taken away by the Revolutionary Committee today."
Zheng Jiamin clenched his fists and clapped his hands: "He ended up hurting himself instead of others. He deserves it!"
Shen Moer took the bowl and Fu Mingze brought the thermos. The small table was placed under the eaves, and the four of them sat around the small table and drank water.
Wang Qiutong suddenly asked: "Comrade Moer, do you still want to go back to school?"
Shen Moer shook her head: "I don't have a class next period."
Wang Qiutong: "Oh."
Zheng Jiamin gulped down a bowl of water and gave Shen Moer a thumbs up: "Comrade Shen Moer, you are smart. I didn't think of the excuse of helping others to bring it, otherwise I would have stood up a long time ago."
Wang Qiutong adjusted her hair and rolled her eyes: "Yeah, you asked Fu Zhiqing to bring you soap, You two share a dormitory, but he just hid it from you. Oh, you must have a piece of soap, so you are the one who behaves like a petty bourgeois."
Zheng Jiamin: "..."
He shook his head: "That's true."
Today's events have had a great impact on everyone. The report letter, the Revolutionary Committee, reactionary remarks... These things can make people think of some very bad things, especially since these things are instigated by people who live under the same roof every day.
"It's too scary, if only we could move out of the educated youth site." Wang Qiutong sighed.
"Who said it wasn't!" Zheng Jiamin sighed.
But they all knew that this was impossible. There were a few old educated youth who moved out, but they were all in special circumstances. For example, Cheng Tao and Xue Pingping rented a room in the village after they got married and moved out. Then there were three educated youths, one married a girl from the village, and two married young men from the village, and all lived in the homes of members.
"Oh, do I have to marry a member? They all look ugly." Wang Qiutong sighed.
"Oh, do I have to marry a member? They all look ugly." Zheng Jiamin sighed as well.
Fu Mingze glanced at him and sneered: "Who are you calling ugly?"
Wang Qiutong immediately slapped the table: "Yes, who are you calling ugly? Our comrade Moer is so beautiful!"
Zheng Jiamin: "... I was talking about the others! OK, I was wrong. Except for comrade Moer, the others are ugly."
Wang Qiutong rolled his eyes at him: "Didn't you male educated youth say that Shen Lingling is beautiful and gentle?"
Zheng Jiamin immediately protested: "It was Zhang Zhiqiang who said that, I didn't say that." Comrade Shen Lingling's appearance was okay, but her heart was not beautiful. He discovered it during the autumn harvest. She deliberately coaxed Zhang Zhiqiang and others to help her work. After the autumn harvest, she did not do any work at all.
However, Zhang Zhiqiang and others were not firm in their will and had poor eyesight, so they deserved it.
After a few jokes, seeing that it was getting late, Shen Moer simply asked the three to stay for lunch. She
still had half a bag of flour she bought last time, so she scooped it into a large bowl and added water to make a paste. She cracked four eggs and beat them into egg liquid. She put a small fire in the stove, rolled the pancakes, and rolled them with mushrooms, cucumbers, and shredded vegetables. She spread a spoonful of the bean paste that Aunt Chen made herself, and it smelled so good.
When she took a bite, the pancake skin was crispy, the eggs were fragrant, and the vegetables were refreshing.
Fu Mingze and Zheng Jiamin each ate three, and Shen Moer and Wang Qiutong each ate one and a half.
Zheng Jiamin touched his bloated stomach and sighed, "It would be great if I could eat like this every day."
Wang Qiutong also sighed, "How is that possible? You're dreaming."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "We're going to the provincial capital for a competition next week. Why don't you come to my house for a meal before we go? Let's do it on Sunday night. It happens to be market day. I'll go to the market and buy some things. When I come back, I'll go to the mountains to have a look. I haven't been to the mountains for a long time."
When Zheng Jiamin heard that they were going to the mountains, he was happier than if they had called him to eat. His eyes lit up immediately, "Then call us to join you. I learned a lot of tricks from Brother Zhao last time. Maybe I can catch one myself. Pheasants and hares and so on."
Wang Qiutong's eyes widened: "You can catch pheasants and hares in the mountains. Isn't it said that you can't go into the deep mountains?"
Zheng Jiamin was always criticized by her today. At this time, he finally felt like he had won back a point. With a look of surprise on his face, he said: "Of course it's not in the deep mountains, it's just that you go a little deeper than usual, and then you have to be able to see. Pheasants and hares jumping in the mountains will definitely leave clues. As long as you have a pair of old hunter's eyes, you can definitely catch them without going into the deep mountains!"
These were all taught to him by Zhao Zhengyang, and he imitated them and showed them off.
Wang Qiutong was so happy: "Doesn't that mean we can eat meat?!"
Her family was well off, but the meat coupons in the city were in short supply. Her family sent her food coupons and non-staple food coupons, but no meat coupons. She had to save them for her two nephews, so Wang Qiutong was very hungry for meat.
Shen Moer laughed: "You can only eat meat if you can catch pheasants and rabbits."
Wang Qiutong had an inexplicable trust in Shen Moer: "Comrade Moer, you can do it." Although Zheng Jiamin talked a lot, Wang Qiutong didn't believe he could catch pheasants and rabbits. If he could, wouldn't he have shouted it out long ago?
Shen Moer didn't think she could do it. Hunting was a matter of luck.
She had participated in many hunting trips during the cold weather. Some people who were usually very brave returned empty-handed due to bad luck, while some people with mediocre archery skills returned with a full load due to good luck.
However, the resources in this world were too scarce. Even if you couldn't catch any prey in the mountains, you could still pick some wild mushrooms, dig some wild vegetables and bamboo shoots to add one or two dishes.
When Shen Shaoyuan came back at night, Shen Moer told him about what happened during the day.
Shen Shaoyuan pondered for a while. In his heart, he was not very happy about his daughter's risk to help Fu Mingze get out of trouble. However, he always made decisions on his own except for life and death. He let his daughter decide everything else. Moreover, they were young and in love with each other. With the character of his daughter, she would definitely not sit idly by at this time.
So in the end Shen Shaoyuan still didn't say anything, but mentioned another thing: "I know that Deputy Director Wu, her full name is Wu Qiong. I met her when I was helping out in the commune compound a while ago. At that time, she mentioned that her family liked calligraphy, and asked me to write a calligraphy for her, about self-reliance and hard work."
Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "No wonder she specifically asked me if I was an art teacher before, and she seemed to know a lot about the two children's painting competition. Later, she also said a word for the educated youth to stop that Deputy Director Sun from escalating the matter. I guess she remembered this favor."
Shen Shaoyuan nodded: "I'll thank her when I meet her later."
The father and daughter turned to talk about As for treating a daughter to a meal, as the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her father. As soon as Shen Shaoyuan heard Shen Moer mention it, he understood what she meant: "We should invite the captain and the militia captain and others. They also protected the pretty boy in this matter. Invite the Chen family and make your relationship clear. Let the Chen family's sister-in-law act as a matchmaker to avoid trouble in the future and being reported for this matter."
Shen Moer responded very obediently: "The main reason is that I'm afraid of being reported. The people in the Revolutionary Committee are unreasonable. It will be troublesome if they accuse me of having sexual problems between men and women."
She glanced at her father and wondered what Fu Zhiqing would think if he knew that her father called him a pretty boy behind his back.
Shen Shaoyuan knew that his daughter said that on purpose to appease him, but he still felt much better in his heart.
He was also a man who did things efficiently. Since his daughter had chosen Fu Mingze, he might as well settle the matter quickly. He would first invite the captain and the others to dinner, as a way to get through the day. Anyway, it was not fashionable to have a grand ceremony these days. When Moer reached the age of marriage next month, they would get the certificate, and then find a date to invite two tables.
However, they did not know much about the situation at Fu Mingze's home, so they would have to ask later if they could come over for the wedding.
Shen Shaoyuan pondered in his heart, but did not tell Shen Moer.
In the next few days, Shen Moer continued to attend classes as normal, while taking advantage of every opportunity to give the two elementary school students a final sprint.
During this period, Fu Mingze seemed to be very busy. He only hurriedly sent a bag of oranges to Shen Moer one evening, and then he disappeared completely.
Wang Qiutong came to see Shen Moer several times. After having the experience of fighting against the Revolutionary Committee together and eating the egg rolls made by Shen Moer, Wang Qiutong felt that her friendship with Shen Moer had made a leap forward, so she would come over from time to time during her breaks.
Sometimes I would talk to Shen Moer about things at the educated youth camp, like how the atmosphere in the camp was quite heavy because Shi Wei and Yang Qingqing had not returned, how everyone was taking extra care of their things and keeping hygiene very clean, with nothing hidden under the bed, how the team leader of their experimental field had taken a few experienced farmers to see it, and they seemed quite surprised, saying that the vegetables in those plots were indeed growing better than usual, and now they were discussing with educated youth Fu about digging a compost pond in the team... He talked about every detail.
Sometimes when Shen Moer was teaching primary school students to draw, she would sit aside and watch quietly. After watching once, she would come over the next day with pencils and notebooks. When the primary school students were learning, she would follow and draw, and soon she could draw well.
On Saturday, when Wang Qiutong came over, she gave Shen Moer two grain coupons, two candy coupons and three yuan: "This is the partnership fee between Zheng Jiamin and me. He originally said he would help Fu Zhiqing pay for it, but Fu Zhiqing said it was not necessary."
She smiled and hugged Shen Moer's arm, shaking it coquettishly: "We didn't give grain coupons for the egg rolls last time. This time we are having a real meal, and I am embarrassed to come empty-handed again."
Shen Moer So he didn't refuse: "Then I'll go to the state-owned hotel tomorrow and buy some buns or steamed bread."
The next day, Shen Moer got up early, washed up, and cooked some vegetable porridge. She wanted to go into the house and call Shen Shaoyuan to get up for breakfast. Shen Shaoyuan slightly closed his eyes and said in a daze: "It's so hard to sleep in. Eat by yourself and go to the commune. Don't bother your father." After that, he wrapped himself in the quilt, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Shen Moer didn't care about him, ate breakfast, pushed the bicycle and went out.
Before that, Shen Moer had learned to ride a bicycle in the morning before Shen Shaoyuan went out, and in the evening after dinner before it got dark.
She had practiced martial arts, so it was naturally easier for her to learn to ride a bicycle than others. It didn’t take long for her to learn it, and she rode it many times afterwards, and now she is very proficient.
However, just as Shen Moer pushed her bicycle out of the yard, she ran into Tian Fang.
Tian Fang was carrying a bamboo basket with some vegetables from her private plot in it. A layer of eggs was carefully piled on the leaves. She was probably going to take them to the commune’s purchasing station. I don’t know what she was thinking. She didn’t go to the brigade yard to ride the donkey cart, but stood outside Shen Moer’s house and peeked in. When she saw Shen Moer coming out, her eyes were glued directly to the bicycle.
Shen Moer didn't want to pay attention to her. She was about to ride away on her bike, but Tian Fang suddenly grabbed the back seat of the bike and said, "Moer, you are going to the commune, right? Take your second aunt with you."
Shen Moer stood on one foot and looked back at her in disbelief, "Are we related enough to ride a bike to the commune?"
Tian Fang's expression froze for a moment, then she said softly, "Of course not, we are the closest relatives. Moer, Min Bing and the others are here. He was locked up in there for quite a while, and was only released yesterday. If it weren't for you and Lao Qi, they wouldn't have had to suffer so much. As a mother, I can't even shed tears at home every day. Today is market day, so I sold eggs and bought him something good to make up for it. You've always been the most reasonable person, you wouldn't be unwilling to help with such a small favor, right? "
Shen Moer had heard that Shen Minbing and the other two were released, but she was busy and didn't pay much attention to it.
After hearing what Tian Fang said, Shen Moer was even more puzzled: "They were locked up, weren't they for stealing in the middle of the night? Why, they made a mistake and still want to blame the victim? If you want to say that, why don't we go to the captain to judge?"
Tian Fang was so scared that she let go of her hand immediately: "I, that's what I said. If you don't want to take me, then don't take me. What's the captain?"
Since their reputation plummeted, their family has not had an easy life in the village. In contrast, the lives of Shen Shaoyuan and his daughter have been thriving. They are now workers, teachers, winners of competitions, and going to the province.
When the villagers talk about Shen Laoqi now, they no longer use the indifferent tone they used to. Instead, they say that he just didn't figure it out before, but now that he figured it out, he is like a completely different person, and he is extremely powerful.
Not only the members, but also the brigade cadres are on their side, especially the old fool Zhou Mancang, who won a prize like gold, and praised the little girl Shen Moer in front of everyone.
If Zhou Mancang were to judge, he would only speak on Shen Moer's side. Tian Fang considered herself a smart person and would not accept such an obvious loss.
Shen Moer was too lazy to say anything more and pedaled away quickly. Tian
Fang stared at her back for a long time and said, "What are you showing off? It's just a broken bicycle."
Aunt Cai happened to pass by with a basket and said sarcastically, "You don't even like bicycles. How come you have four wheels at home?"
Tian Fang's face turned pale and blue. After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence, "Why don't you, an old hag, mind your own business?"
She was now desperate and no longer pretended to be gentle and virtuous in public, exposing her true nature.
Aunt Cai was not a good-tempered person. She was tall and had a hot temper. She put the basket on the ground, rushed up and slapped Tian Fang several times: "You dare to scold me, an old woman? I think you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes."
Tian Fang always showed weakness to others. She was really not good at fighting. She couldn't beat ordinary women in the village, let alone Aunt Cai who ranked high in fighting power. After being beaten, she didn't dare to resist. She sat on the ground and cried: "You are too bullying!"
Aunt Cai didn't care about her. She was the first to scold, and she was beaten first.
Shen Moer had already ridden far away and didn't know that Tian Fang was beaten for scolding. Of course, she didn't care.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. It is a little cool in the morning. However, compared with the hot summer, the weather is very comfortable at this time. Even the air is a little crisp and refreshing.
The fields along the way are a little empty. Only the rice stubble after the rice harvest is left in the rice fields, and there are occasionally a few straw piles.
One by one, the public grain of several surrounding brigades has been delivered. It is said that the public grain of Yangliu Brigade was also delivered the day before yesterday. Next, the members can take a breath and gradually interplant wheat or grow some vegetables for the winter. After all, it is not as busy as the autumn harvest, which is like a war every day.
After arriving at the commune, Shen Moer first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to use her sugar coupons, and weighed a pound of white sugar and a pound of brown sugar. Then she bought some condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, a bar of soap, and some needles and thread. Finally, when she passed by the pastry counter, she couldn't help but weigh half a pound of chicken cake.
Egg cakes are not always sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, and you need a pastry coupon to buy them. Daliang doesn't have this stuff, and the original owner seems to have never bought it to eat, so Shen Moer actually wanted to buy it a long time ago.
It just so happened that her father gave her half a pound of pastry coupons this month, and the supply and marketing cooperative happened to have it in stock, so shouldn't she buy it quickly?
Shen Moer put everything she bought into the bamboo basket, and happily pushed her bicycle towards the direction of Maque City.
Because she was riding a bicycle, she didn't take a shortcut, but took the main road outside. The road here is a little bigger, but also a little farther, so there are not many people on the road.
When I was riding at a fork in the road, a man suddenly appeared from the side, holding something tightly in his arms, and ran forward desperately, shouting for help: "Help, someone is robbing me!" Almost at the same time, another man appeared from the path, rushed towards the person in front of him, quickly caught up with her, grabbed her ponytail, and slapped her: "You bitch, give me the things quickly!"
Then he tried to grab the things in the woman's hand. The woman struggled to avoid it, and the man slapped her twice again: "Damn it, don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty. If I'm in a good mood, I'll give you two dollars to buy these cloths. If I'm in a bad mood, I won't give you a word."
"Are you buying this? You are robbing!"
The woman guarded the things in her arms tightly. When the man reached out his hand, she bit the man's household registration card. The man was enraged and reached out to hit the woman again. At this moment, a man suddenly came over and kicked the man in the knee. The man fell to his knees.
The woman immediately kicked the man's "vital parts", and the man howled in pain: "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
He tried to get up. Shen Moer looked at the woman with disheveled hair and whose face could not be seen, who still wanted to "pursue the victory", and reached out to stop her. She said to the man lying on the ground: "Someone just went to the police station to report a case. The police should be here soon."
The man immediately got up, covering his "vital parts": "You guys wait for me!"
After making the threats, he bent over and fled quickly to the side road in a very obscene posture.
"This bastard deliberately said he wanted to buy my cloth, but he actually wanted to rob me. How could he let her go like this?! We should catch him and kick him so hard that he won't dare to do evil again." The woman said as she frantically pulled her hair away from her face.
Shen Moer: "..."
She didn't even know whether she should be surprised that this person was Liu Yinshuang, or surprised by her bold words that clearly meant something.
However, she still explained: "It was because you were selling cloth that I let him go, otherwise he might report you for speculation."
"Shen Moer, it's you?!"
Liu Yinshuang was even more surprised than Shen Moer. After tidying up her hair and seeing the person who saved her, she widened her eyes and stared at Shen Moer as if she saw a monster: "You, you, you just kicked him down with one kick?! No, how can you have such a high level of fighting power, this is not scientific, this, this, this is definitely not scientific, previous life, uh, I mean you were not like this before."
Shen Moer: You just wanted to say previous life, I heard it.
She blinked innocently: "Isn't it that the man was too weak? Besides, I just kicked his knee when he wasn't paying attention and knocked him down by chance. As for strength, uh, strength? You should be more powerful. After you knocked him down, he lay on the ground for a long time without getting up."
"Really?"
Liu Yinshuang thought about it and found that what Shen Moer said seemed to be right. It seemed that she had caused more damage to that person.
"Yes." Shen Moer said, "Since you are fine, I will leave first."
"Wait a moment."
Liu Yinshuang immediately extended Erkang's hand. Although she did cause great harm to the man, it was Shen Moer who knocked him down quickly and accurately at the beginning. Having been robbed once, Liu Yinshuang was now a frightened bird. She always felt that it was safer to follow Shen Moer.
She asked: "Are you going to Sparrow City? I will go with you. Do you want cloth? I can sell you a few feet at a discounted price without cloth coupons?"
Shen Moer shook her head: "I don't need it."
If she hadn't found the cloth in the treasure house, she would definitely seize the opportunity to buy cloth without coupons. Now she is not so short of cloth, and Liu Yinshuang is a weird person. She doesn't know where these cloths came from, so Shen Moer naturally won't buy them.
After Shen Moer finished speaking, she walked to the side, kicked off the bicycle's footrest, put the bamboo basket on her back, pushed the bicycle and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yinshuang grabbed the back seat of the bicycle and said, "It's okay if you don't need it. I can give it to you. A drop of water is returned with a spring. I will give you a few feet of cloth. I will give it to you when we get to Maque City."
Shen Moer: "..."
It can be seen that Liu Yinshuang really wants to go with her.
