Chapter 115
Lin Yao said that her complexion was normal, and that the brat had seen it wrong.
Gu Doudou swore, "It's impossible, my eyesight is very good."
"Okay, even if your eyesight is very good, you can still see it wrong. The mooncakes are in the house, don't you want to eat them?"
"I'm hungry, I'll eat them, I'll eat them."
Gu Doudou hurriedly washed his hands and went into the house to eat mooncakes.
This year's mooncakes are added with homemade osmanthus honey, and are sprinkled with dried petals and red plums, which are indescribably beautiful and festive.
Yuanyuan sniffed with her little nose and said, "It smells good, the mooncakes made by mom are beautiful!"
She looked at Lin Yao eagerly.
"Mom, I want to eat fragrant mooncakes too."
Lin Yao smiled and pinched Yuanyuan's little face.
"You can only eat a small piece a day."
Yuanyuan nodded.
Since the students in the county started to make trouble, all the schools and factories in the county stopped working one after another. The Gu family closed the door and lived their own lives. In just 20 days, Yuanyuan became rounder and rounder under the feeding of her father, grandmother, aunt, uncle and brother. Her fat little chin was double-layered, not to mention her little arms and legs. Her lotus roots were also fat. When she put on small clothes and small flower shoes, her short legs couldn't even walk.
Compared with her brother Doudou when he was five years old, Yuanyuan was a whole circle rounder.
She was really round.
Seeing this, the family members didn't dare to let Yuanyuan eat more.
All day long, Lin Yao fed Yuanyuan vegetable soup and egg custard. If the little girl was really greedy, she would give her two pieces of meat.
She could only eat two pieces a day.
But Yuanyuan was spoiled.
"Yes, Yuanyuan is right, this mooncake is really beautiful."
Gu Chunmei and her husband went back to her parents' home to send some wax gourds. When they heard this, they came over and smelled it. They were very curious, "Yaoyao, how come you are so elegant?"
She has never been an elegant literary girl. She grew up in a big courtyard and ran around the streets with a bunch of bad boys all day long. The elegance she learned from her teacher when she was in school has long been gone.
"I just thought about it."
Lin Yao smiled and waved her hand.
Gu Chunmei looked around and whispered to Lin Yao, "You have to have a brain to think about it. I'm with your big-headed brother all day long, so I don't have such a brain."
Xu Xiangqian happened to come into the house carrying a piece of meat.
Seeing the innocent Big Head Brother taking the blame, the two aunts burst into laughter.
What are these women laughing at?
Xu Xiangqian was confused.
Gu Chunmei and her husband said goodbye and went home. Lin Yao kept talking to Gu Shian. Lin Yi called and said he would arrive in the county town today. How come he hasn't been seen yet in the afternoon?
Gu Shian came out of the house and said that maybe he was delayed on the way. He had just fumigated the mosquitoes in the bedroom. He asked his wife to have more rest. There was wolfberry honey water on the table. Don't forget to drink it.
Lin Yao agreed, not noticing that Deputy Director Gu's face was a little unnatural when he said this.
It's the holiday season, and my brother is about to come home. There are so many things to do at home. How can I have time to rest?
Lin Yao went back to the kitchen, picked up the meat and bones, boiled them in hot water, cut them, added onions, ginger, garlic and star aniseed, and stewed them in the pot. She also fried a few home-cooked dishes and boiled a pot of tofu and fish ball soup. She lifted her apron and wiped her hands, thinking of going back to the living room to drink some water.
Dongfanghong Production Team, there have been a series of riots in the county town recently, and a group of old men and women in the village are still in shock. They sit on their pony horses under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village and mutter to each other.
"Oh, I don't know what's going on in this world. Students from all over the country don't go to school anymore. They wear red armbands and come to the countryside to make revolution all day long. They shout slogans like "Rebellion is not a crime, revolution is justified" and fight against landlords everywhere, digging up people's ancestral graves. When will this mess end?"
Early in the morning, the old woman of the village party secretary was walking around the village. When she heard the villagers discussing the county's affairs, she also stepped over to listen.
The daughter of Wang Erniang's family in the village married in the county. During the days of unrest, the old Wang family could not contact the daughter's family in the county, and the old couple were very anxious.
Now that the matter has been resolved, Wang Erniang is tying the hemp rope with her hands, still feeling frightened when she talks about it, "Don't mention it now, I'm still trembling when I think about it now. You don't know how chaotic the city was. My daughter Guilan said that there were cannons and guns fired in the county in those days. It was very scary. No one dared to go out, for fear of being unlucky and getting shot!"
When it comes to the □□, the villagers also find it scary, "I heard that the big leaders in the county were arrested by the □□. Fortunately, the troops came quickly, otherwise our countryside would be in chaos."
"Hey, what's going on? It's the same as when the Japanese were here."
The old lady of the branch secretary's family suddenly poked her head out, "Japanese, where are the Japanese? Hurry up and tell the Eighth Route Army, fight the Japanese!" The old lady was quietly
hiding in the crowd, and this sudden explosion scared the old men and women.
The second aunt covered her chest and said in a low voice, "Oh my, who is it? It turns out to be my sister-in-law. Why don't you stay at home and rest? Why did you come out?"
Everyone in the Dongfanghong Production Team knew that the old lady of the old branch secretary's family was not very smart. Not only was she deaf, but she also often forgot things and mistook people.
When someone said they wanted to send the secretary's wife home, the old lady shook her head and said, "She's not at home. I feel so uncomfortable at home!" Then she muttered to herself, "Just now you said there was a fight, not the Japanese. Where is the team leader? What is he doing?"
"Sister-in-law, the team leader in our village has been replaced."
"Who has he been replaced by?"
"Lin Hongwu of Lin Daguo."
"What? Lin Hongwu? This is nonsense. When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king! How can a lazy little gangster be the team leader?"
All the old men and women were silent. Who said it was not true?
The Lin family is a big family in the Dongfanghong Production Team. The previous team leader was also surnamed Lin. He was actually Lin Daguo's cousin.
In order to get promoted, the beast Lin Hongwu first posted a big-character poster about the team leader, falsely accusing him of being a landlord who had escaped the law and oppressed the common people before liberation. The group of GMs picked up the team leader without explanation
, shaved his head and criticized him. However, under the operation of Lin Hongna, Lin Hongwu found someone to write a speech and gave speeches in various places in the county, telling about the miserable experience of being exploited by landlords in the old society, dragging the team leader into the water and becoming the team leader himself.
Since Lin Hongwu became the leader of the production team, he brought a few lackeys with him and made the team a mess. He deducted work points from anyone he disliked and had an affair with a young widow in the team. Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng also showed off their power in the village. The villagers dared not speak out and cursed behind their backs that their family would be in trouble soon and end up in jail on the farm! Now that
Lin Hongwu has power, he can no longer hide his filthy desires. He married Wang Honghua, a crazy woman, and it is common for the whole family to be beaten when she gets sick.
He didn't have power before, so he couldn't even divorce Wang Honghua.
Now that he is the leader of the team, he can marry anyone he wants!
Lin Hongwu conspired with his parents to send Wang Honghua back to her parents' home and find a young and beautiful girl to give birth to a son.
Lin Daguo shook his head.
"No, Wang Shanpao is a scoundrel. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. The Wang family will definitely not accept this hot potato."
Li Aifeng came up with a vicious idea, "No, let's buy some rat poison and poison that little hoof to death!"
"What if the police come after you poison her?"
"You are stupid. If you poison the little hoof to death and throw it into the valley to feed the wolves, how will the police investigate?"
Lin Hongwu's eyes were cold.
"Okay, let's do it!"
That night, the night was as dark as water, and the family of three slept soundly at night. With a "bang", the two wooden doors in the house, which were not very solid to begin with, fell to the ground.
Lin Hongwu wanted to stick his head out from under the quilt, but he was horrified to find that his hands and feet were tied tightly with hemp ropes. Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng beside him were also tied with ropes for tying sows, so they could not move.
In the dark night, Wang Honghua stood at the door with an axe in her hand, looking particularly scary.
Lin Daguo's family of three felt a pang in their hearts. It was over. Wang Honghua was ill again.
In the past few years, the three members of the Lin family slept in the same room. No one dared to be alone with Wang Honghua, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were unlucky.
Wang Honghua heard Lin Hongwu's words that he wanted to divorce her and send her home during the day. She was stimulated and first beat up Lin Daguo's family of three, and then chopped around in the house with an axe.
Lin Daguo and Li Aifeng were both scared to death. Lin Hongwu was even worse. She slept at the edge and was beaten the most. She screamed in anger.
"What do you want to do, you crazy woman?!"
Wang Honghua laughed twice at first, and touched Lin Hongwu's face. Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of. She became very angry and jumped up and stabbed the axe into Lin Hongwu's mouth.
Fortunately, Lin Hongwushu got off the bed in time.
Otherwise, he would have become a eunuch.
Wang Honghua made a fuss at Lin's house all night. The next morning, when it was light outside, she threw away the axe and rushed to the door. She ran to the river at the entrance of the village and jumped in.
The educated youth in the village who had woken up early went out to fetch water. When they saw someone jumping into the river, they hurriedly rescued the person. Wang Honghua woke up and ran away crying. She ran all over the streets of the village, crying to everyone she saw, "The production team leader has no conscience. He wants to abandon his wife after becoming an official. He beats and scolds her at home and oppresses rural women!"
Lin Hongwu, who had been very powerful in the town, was frightened when he heard Wang Honghua's shouting. In the old society, country men would beat their wives if they wanted to. They would beat their wives after drinking, losing money, or losing face outside. They would beat the wives they married with money!
It has been more than 20 years since the liberation. Now, gender equality is advocated. Great leaders have said that women can hold up for a long time. The most important thing is that a small leader in the town’s service factory abandoned his wife and had an affair with a young and beautiful female worker in the factory. He was posted with big-character posters, his family members cut off their relationship with him, divorced in the newspaper, lost his leadership job, and was dragged to the streets every day. Besides
, it was Wang Honghua who was mad at home, hitting and chopping, so how could he be considered to be bullying women?
Faced with the pointing and talking of the villagers, Lin Daguo’s family was furious and split into two groups. One group went to the town to find Lin Hongna for help, and the other group went outside to find Wang Honghua, fearing that Wang Honghua would say something crazy again and disrupt the good life of the Lin family.
