Chapter 5: The Pork Purchase Incident



Cheng Yaoyao fell on the bed, suddenly she blocked her mouth and started to sob. She didn't know who she was crying for, for herself? For Xie San? For this unlucky era?

Cheng Yaoyao felt sorry for himself and cried for a long time before falling asleep.

BMW cars, elegant ladies, waiters in tuxedos shuttled back and forth carrying fine wine and delicacies. The eldest daughter of the Cheng family wrapped her exquisite body in a black dress, without any jewelry, and walked into the dance floor in 10-centimeter Chanel combat boots. The common women lost their color in an instant, and the men's crazy eyes were hot, vying to bow down to her skirt. She is a muse, a goddess, and a delicate and rich flower in the world.

Cheng Yaoyao was still immersed in his old dream of extravagance until he was woken up by Zhang Xiaofeng. It was already dark, and the lights were off in the dormitory. Cheng Yaoyao didn't know what day it was.

Zhang Xiaofeng spoke quickly, breaking her sweet dream: "Hurry up, let's go buy some meat!"

It turned out not to be a dream.

Cheng Yaoyao sighed in disappointment and sat up slowly. How could she be in the mood to eat meat now? But her stomach rumbled, clamoring for meat very honestly. The original owner escaped early in the morning, trekking in the mountains for half a day, and had nothing to eat except a bowl of ginger soup. She didn't realize it just now, but when Zhang Xiaofeng reminded her, she realized that she was already hungry.

Cheng Yaoyao followed Zhang Xiaofeng out with light steps and asked casually, "Where are we going to buy it?"

Cheng Nuonuo and the others had been waiting outside for a long time. Hearing this, they said, "Didn't Xie San kill a wild boar today? He sold it to the brigade at a discount, and everyone in the village went to buy it. Let's hurry up, or we won't be able to buy it if we're late!"

Cheng Yaoyao felt sore all over and complained, "Why don't you just go and queue up? Why are you dragging me along?"

Zhang Xiaofeng and Han Yin looked at each other, smiled strangely, and dragged Cheng Yaoyao out.

Summer rain comes and goes quickly. Walking into the village, the willow trees are so green that they seem to be dripping with water, shading the mud-walled and black-tiled bungalows. The bluestone pavement in the alleys is wet, as if a girl with a lilac-like worry will come out at any time.

Unfortunately, the only thing that came out from the roadside was a dirty mud monkey-like child, who chased Cheng Yaoyao with his finger in his mouth, as if he was watching a foreign spectacle. He also clapped his hands and shouted, "The fox demon is coming, the fox demon is coming!"

Cheng Yaoyao stamped his feet in anger and shouted fiercely, "Go!"

Cheng Yaoyao's voice was soft and tender, without any frightening power. The children clapped their hands and chased her, singing nursery rhymes: "Haha, you're angry! My dear wife, don't be angry. I'll take you to have tea!"

Cheng Yaoyao clenched her fists, wishing she could punch each of the naughty kids. Zhang Xiaofeng pulled her aside and advised, "We're almost there, ignore them, the kids are only playing tricks on you because you're pretty."

The three of them walked to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, where a group of people had already gathered. Cheng Yaoyao then realized why Zhang Xiaofeng had asked him to come.

As soon as they saw Cheng Yaoyao, several young men pushed aside the crowd and made way for her. A young man in a military green short-sleeved shirt with a ruffian look said to her politely, "Cheng Zhiqing, this is a good seat for you!"

The women were not happy about it. The attentive young man said, "Mr. Lin, we have been waiting in line for a long time. Why do you let people cut in line?"

Lin Junsheng spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and said, "I am happy with it!"

"Why don't you give it to me? Do you think your sister-in-law is not pretty enough?!" The women refused to give in and cursed at Lin Junsheng, but all their unfriendly looks were directed at Cheng Yaoyao's face.

Cheng Yaoyao wore a white shirt and black pants today. Her extremely plain outfit made her face look bright and pretty, which made her look very attractive. A vixen is always a vixen. No matter how she dresses, she looks coquettish!

At that moment, someone in the crowd said, "Just because you're pretty, you can get special treatment?"

"That's right, they're lazy at work, and now they don't even line up in the company."

Zhang Xiaofeng and Han Yin were not happy with this. It was one thing for them to dislike Cheng Yaoyao, but they, the educated youth, had to be of one mind when they were outside: "What are you talking about? How can we be treated specially? They voluntarily let us join the queue!"

"We didn't agree!" the woman was also fierce, "We are all here to line up, why should you cut in line? If you buy first, others won't be able to buy!"

Everyone started arguing, but Cheng Yaoyao's attention had already been drawn to the butcher.

On the chopping board was the wild boar that almost crushed Cheng Yaoyao to death. It had been killed and shaved, and was lying naked on the chopping board waiting to be cut up. The young butcher was wearing a torn vest, his bones were broad and stretched, and his muscles were thin. It was cool after the rain, but he was the only one who was full of heat, his hormones surging.

He was a young beast, with narrow eyebrows, drooping eyes, and retracted claws and fangs. But Cheng Yaoyao still remembered that when he cut the wild boar's throat with a knife on the mountain, his eyes shot out through the blood, full of murderous intent.

The noise around him had nothing to do with him. Xie San raised his knife, his right arm muscles bulging, and the knife cut through the flesh and bones, rolling on the chopping board. Cheng Yaoyao felt a chill on his neck, as if that wild boar was his own fate.

She took a step back silently.

But others didn't allow it. Lin Junsheng was irritated by the crowd, and pulled Cheng Yaoyao forward with a frown: "I must let Cheng Yaoyao be the first to buy meat today!"

Cheng Yaoyao was caught off guard and pushed in front of the chopping board. He pressed his hands on the greasy chopping board and made eye contact with the wild boar that was unwilling to close its eyes.

"Ah!" Cheng Yaoyao screamed miserably.

A big hand supported her in time, saving Cheng Yaoyao from the tragedy of kissing a wild boar. The man's palm was large and hot, and the moment their skin touched, another wave of memories flooded into her mind.

Before Cheng Yaoyao could think about it carefully, Xie San had already withdrawn his hand and looked down at the chopping board, as if the wild boar head was more worthy of appreciation than Cheng Yaoyao.

Lin Junsheng slammed the chopping board and said arrogantly, "Xie San, cut some pork for Cheng Zhiqing!"

Xie Sanyan didn't even look up, but wiped the blade with a piece of white cloth.

Lin Junsheng couldn't hold back his anger and asked angrily, "Are you deaf?"

Xie San's thumb brushed the sharp blade, and Lin Junsheng took two steps back subconsciously, feeling frightened. Xie San was silent, but he was very ruthless in the fight against pigs.

Xie San raised his eyes to look at him, his face was very calm: "Queue."

Cheng Yaoyao took out a piece of silk to wipe the grease off his hands and rolled his eyes at Lin Junsheng. Is there anyone who is so attentive?

"You, you..." Lin Junsheng took Cheng Yaoyao's look as encouragement. In front of the beautiful girl, he was unwilling to lose face: "You! You landlord's son of a bitch, if my father hadn't felt sorry for you and used your pork to pay off the debt to the brigade, your house would have been taken away long ago! By then, your landlord wife, sick brothers and sisters, all..."

With a "bang", Xie San chopped the knife on the chopping board, stepped out, and grabbed Lin Junsheng's collar like a chicken: "Go to the sunbathing field, do you dare!"

The sunning ground is the best place for fighting in the village. The blood of young males is like gasoline that ignites at a touch.

Young people, eager to create chaos, started to clamor: "Fight! Fight!"

Cheng Yaoyao was closest to them, and saw Xie San grabbing Lin Junsheng's arm. His muscles bulged, veins were visible, and his narrow eyes were red, which was very scary.

Cheng Yaoyao whispered: "Stop fighting..."

It would have been fine if Cheng Yaoyao didn't say anything. But when he heard her voice, Lin Junsheng was like a chicken with blood injected into it. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Go ahead! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Stop it, everyone!"

The team leader and the village party secretary rushed over and saw the two men with swords drawn, and shouted angrily.

The village party secretary is a hot-tempered and straightforward old man. His biggest failure in life is his youngest son, Lin Junsheng. He took off his shoes and said, "Junsheng, you're itchy, aren't you? Come over here!"

When Lin Junsheng saw me coming, he didn't care about fighting with Xie San and ran away. The village party secretary limped after him with his shoes in his hands, causing everyone to laugh.

The captain also said to Xie San: "Everyone is still waiting to share the pork. The weather is hot and the pork cannot be stored."

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Yaoyao, who was shivering on the chopping board, and frowned, "It's you again. You female educated youth are really troublesome."

The women in the village shouted, "It was Cheng Yaoyao who caused this trouble by trying to cut in line!"

Han Yin refused to give in: "What do you mean we cut in line? It was clearly Lin Junsheng who asked us to cut in line!"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Cheng Yaoyao interrupted them with a loud voice: "Stop quarreling! I didn't intend to cut in line from the beginning."

"What?" Did Cheng Yaoyao change his personality? Everyone was stunned.

How annoying the original owner was. Cheng Yaoyao coughed lightly and explained politely to the captain: "When I just arrived, Lin Junsheng dragged me to the first place in line. It was not my own decision to cut in line."

Cheng Yaoyao stood there with her head lowered and her eyes submissive, her tone indifferent, but somehow she gave people the feeling that she was being wronged.

A man among the villagers immediately spoke up: "That's right, it was Lin Junsheng who was trying to show his courtesy, what does it have to do with Cheng Zhiqing!"

Zhang Xiaofeng also quickly said: "Captain, this really has nothing to do with Yaoyao. Everyone saw it, you can ask them."

The team leader waved his hands and said, "Okay, your dormitory for educated youth is outside the village. It's so late now, so I'll let you cut the meat first. It's not safe for the girls to go back later. What do you think?"

The captain spoke, and of course no one objected, except for a few women who curled their lips in disdain.

Cheng Yaoyao walked to the chopping board, and Xie San pulled out a knife. The blade was so sharp that Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help but shiver.
