Cheng Dabao's little head was instantly struck by happiness, and he felt dizzy. She said he was a little man!
The Cheng Tiegang brothers were so angry that they jumped up and down, and Liu Honghua's face was twisted with anger...
But none of them were as shocked as Meng Yiyi. She looked down at Jiang Lin in disbelief, "Linlin?"
Jiang Lin said calmly: "A house is a home, what good is three hundred dollars?"
Meng Yiyi blurted out in a hurry, "Are you going to settle down in the countryside?" After saying that, she immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly added, "Settling down in the countryside is our ideal. I'm with you. Linlin, I support you."
Seeing that Jiang Lin was not enthusiastic about her, she felt a little annoyed, and squatted beside her and asked with concern: "Linlin, you and them are in such a mess, can you still live together? It's so uncomfortable, what if you get hurt..."
Jiang Lin laughed, "We can build a wall to separate the two houses. There is a branch house. If there is an extra table, can't it be split in half?"
Meng Yiyi was very anxious and kept persuading Jiang Lin not to escalate the conflict, "Linlin, you need to calm down."
Jiang Lin: "I am very calm. If I wasn't calm, I would have chased them away long ago."
"You guys get out, we will never move out!" Liu Honghua slapped her thigh.
When she heard about the three hundred, she felt like she was cutting her flesh. Now she was anxious when she saw that Jiang Lin did not agree to ask for money but asked for the house. Originally, the whole yard belonged to her, but now there were less than three rooms left! She was used to living in this yard, and she would never move out even if she was beaten to death.
Either they live together and fight every day, or I have a man, a son, and a daughter, and I must beat them out!
She had thought it through. Jiang Lin would definitely not be able to move in tonight. She would quietly remove the tiles from the private area, and then let them leak in the rain! Let them get soaked to death! She would repair it and remove it again until they left!
Cheng Fujun said: "Let me tell you, Boss, you should exchange one main room for two east rooms. You two are young and capable, in two years..."
Liu Honghua heard that he wanted her family to move out in two years, and immediately interrupted the secretary, "How can we live together? There are also pig pens, toilets and chicken pens. Whose manure is it? It costs work points!"
Sun Qinghui sneered, "You have many people but few houses. Living together is clearly taking advantage of others. Do you want to drive out those who have more houses?"
Liu Honghua said in a naughty way: "We are not moving out anyway! We are the eldest son in the family!"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You can still remove the bricks and build a small courtyard. It will be embarrassing if your house is not complete then." You are annoying, but I won't annoy you to death.
Liu Honghua found it funny to think that two-thirds of the bricks and tiles in a yard had been removed, leaving her house open to the wind on all sides.
Liu Honghua also scolded Jiang Lin for being shameless and saying that being educated meant being vicious.
Yan Runzhi was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she asked Jiang Lin, "Bao'er's mother, what should we do?"
If they were to squeeze together, they would inevitably fight every day, and Dabao and Xiaobao would definitely suffer. She felt that Jiang Lin would not want to live with them.
Jiang Lin sat on a straw mat, holding Xiaobao, who was very sleepy, in her arms. She smiled and said, "It's easy. There is an empty room in the brigade headquarters. Let's move to another small courtyard."
She didn't want to live with Cheng Ruhai. He looked handsome, but he was actually creepy and disgusting.
The Yanghong Brigade had a guesthouse, a blue brick base, yellow mud walls, and a straw roof, with two main rooms and two low side rooms. There was also a blue brick and black tile house, with three main rooms, a south room, and a pigsty, no side rooms, and a long, narrow yard.
Jiang Lin thought about it and decided that it would not be a disadvantage to change to the brick house. She would be more willing to live in three main rooms, which were symmetrical on the left and right. Two rooms would always seem a bit weird.
Cheng Yulian: "Then let's treat this place as the team's guesthouse." During the busy farming season, officials from above would come down to stay here.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "You can also raise pigs. It's also good as a warehouse."
Cheng Yulian said to the breeder over there: "Old Five, didn't you say that we couldn't raise two more mules? I think we can raise them in the west wing and the small courtyard in the south. We can raise two more pigs in the pigpen, and..."
"No!" Liu Honghua was anxious, "You are bullying me!"
No one paid any attention to her.
Cheng Ruhai was speechless and said, "In that case, let's move to that small courtyard."
Liu Honghua immediately burst into tears, "Boss, are you stupid? That courtyard is made of adobe, but ours is made of bricks and tiles."
Cheng Ruhai said dejectedly: "It's already like this, what else can we do?"
He knew that the brigade secretary and the brigade leader were working together to squeeze him. Most of the families in their village were surnamed Cheng, but there were also differences in closeness and distance. He followed the path of Cheng Fugui of the commune and became the third team leader, replacing the original team leader. The original third team leader was Cheng Yulian's younger brother from her mother's side, and she was jealous of him. The brigade secretary was her cousin from her mother's side, and he must have helped Jiang Lin to do bad things to him.
Seeing that they were all willing to change, Cheng Fujun said, "Find a few people to help pack up and move over, so that you can sleep well at night."
This house will become the brigade’s new guesthouse in the future.
Liu Honghua couldn't help crying, "This yard is mine, don't wait for someone else to occupy it." She hated Jiang Lin to death. This was a fight to the death. Such a good house was given to someone else.
Jiang Lin has no feelings for this house. Living comfortably is the most important thing.
In addition to the house, the rest of the brigade accountant had to rummage out, and Cheng Ruhai also had to take out a wardrobe, a large suitcase, a table and a few stools, as well as some pots and basins, and a few commonly used farm tools.
There weren't many of them, so they were divided into two. He wrote the list quickly and said in full force, "If you don't mind, choose one and put your fingerprints on it."
In the past, when brothers divided the property, one was basically responsible for the division and the other had the first choice. Now the team divides the property and takes appropriate care of the son in his old age.
Liu Honghua was not happy again: "The old ones can still work, why should we all follow them to earn work points for them?"
At this moment, she remembered that Yan Runzhi earned ten work points a day from embroidery, which was more than what she earned, and she could also get money from the team.
The educated youths began to boo her, "Do you think she's your own mother who's taking care of you in your old age? You're so shameless to think of her work points!"
"That's right. Your child is taken care of by someone else. Are you grateful?"
Liu Honghua was not ashamed, but rather justified, "Our children don't call her grandma? How can she occupy that position for nothing?"
But no one paid any attention to her about this matter. After all, Yan Runzhi was the stepmother, so naturally she had to be with her biological son.
Cheng Dabao was also very sleepy and dozed off. He was startled to realize that they had divided the things and shouted anxiously, "There are still hens and pigs. My grandma has five chickens and one pig." The pigs and chickens were taken care of by Yan Runzhi, so Cheng Dabao thought they belonged to his grandma.
Cheng Jingang: "The pigs are mine, the chickens are mine, and your family has nothing."
Cheng Dabao: "You are shit!"
"Fuck your mother!" Cheng Jingang was only 8 years old, but he was not good at speaking, so he would just say things like "Fuck your mother" when cursing.
Cheng Yulian slapped him on the back of his head, "Get out of here, you idiot!"
Liu Honghua couldn't bear it any longer. "Cheng Yulian, what do you mean, you..."
"Shut up!" Cheng Fujun scolded, "The pigs are public property. Take out half of the work points you earned from raising pigs and give them to three chickens."
Everyone says it's reasonable, and it doesn't matter if it's a little more or less of these small things.
Jiang Lin thanked the cadres and educated youths, "Thank you for your hard work. I don't have anything good to offer you right now. I will thank you later."
"No, no, it's just the usual thing in the village." After saying this, the few people dispersed.
The brigade accountant called on a few people to help move things to the new yard.
Cheng Xiaobao had fallen asleep, with Jiang Lin holding him. Cheng Dabao was also very sleepy, but he still forced himself to stay beside Yan Runzhi.
Sun Qinghui and several educated youth helped to move things, "Jiang Lin, congratulations."
Jiang Lin thanked them, "It's all thanks to the help of my classmates. Thank you for your hard work."
"We are all educated youth, why are you being so polite?"
They all hurried to help move the things over, including the things that had been packed into the team house earlier, and then cleared out the things in the courtyard and moved them back to the new guesthouse.
Liu Honghua was still crying, "They live in a brick house, but we have to live in a mud house. That house is totally uninhabitable. The roof has been leaking for a long time. It leaks rain. It's bullying..."
Meng Yiyi walked beside Jiang Lin and whispered, "Linlin, you... gave up on going back to the city?"
Jiang Lin: “No.”
"Then you..." Meng Yiyi was furious. You want to go back to the city, but you are still like this? I fought so hard to get the money for you, but you gave it away?
"Yiyi, why don't you go back to the city?" Jiang Lin asked in a low voice. Meng Yiyi's family conditions were similar to hers, and even if they were not rich, they could still get 300 yuan by tightening their belts and borrowing from here and there.
With 300 yuan, you can go back to the city. Even if you don't have a job for the time being, you can still survive or secretly do some small business. The original owner couldn't stand physical labor, and Meng Yiyi couldn't stand it either, otherwise she wouldn't have to give up her job as a primary school teacher.
Meng Yiyi: ...playing tricks on me!
"I just want you to go back first. If you don't go back, how can I feel at ease? Besides, Bian Haitao is still waiting for you. If you don't want to..."
"Don't mention him to me!" Jiang Lin lied with his eyes open, "Don't mention this person in front of me anymore, or I'll get angry!"
Meng Yiyi paused, feeling a tightness in her chest, as if she had been very angry with Jiang Lin that day.
,
Jiang Lin quickened her pace and caught up with Yan Runzhi and Cheng Dabao in front of her. "Dabao, you must be sleepy."
Cheng Dabao was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He grabbed his grandma's hand and walked with his eyes closed, one step deep and one step shallow. When he heard Jiang Lin's words, he immediately raised his head and said, "I'm not sleepy!"
Jiang Lin smiled. Although he was just a little kid, he was quite competitive.
The new courtyard is right next to the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters originally had a large wall, but most of it was demolished during the Great Leap Forward to build a brick kiln. Now only the office and warehouse have walls, and the rest are outside.
Jiang Lin likes this location very much. It is close to the big locust tree, the well and the millstone, which is very convenient.
Several members and educated youth had already brought their belongings over and placed them in the house. It was originally a guesthouse for people to stay in, so they just put some sundries in it and could move out.
Jiang Lin looked around and found that the kang in the east room had collapsed, so only the west room could be used for sleeping. Fortunately, half of the room was a kang, so five or six adults and children could sleep in a row. However, the kang mat was badly torn, so they could only use some dry straw to pad it. She and Yan Runzhi settled Dabao and Xiaobao first, and then went to thank the members and educated youth, thinking about finding an opportunity to repay them in the future.
Although she was tired and sleepy, she felt uncomfortable after a day of running around with sweat and dust all over her body. She wanted to take a basin to the fire prevention water tank of the brigade to scoop a basin of water to wash herself. Just as she was about to go out, Sun Qinghui came in with a bucket of water and said, "It's too dark outside. I'll fetch you some water."
Jiang Lin hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you so much for troubling you."
Sun Qinghui smiled and said, "It's a bit polite to say that. It's getting late, let's close the door and get some rest."
After seeing Sun Qinghui off, Jiang Lin closed the gate and came back. She washed up in the yard and wanted to call Yan Runzhi, but she found that she was already asleep with her clothes on, so she didn't call her. She was also very sleepy, so she just checked that the grain jar in the east room was fine, and then went to sleep on the kang.
I was so sleepy that I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.
…
Niujiaoshan Prison on the southeastern border.
A prisoner riot had just been suppressed, and the entire prison was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere with fully armed prison guards patrolling.
In an office, three soldiers in military uniforms without any rank designation sat at a table. The officer in the middle was about forty years old, with a lazy look on his face. He was flipping through the files in his hands slowly, and from time to time he would raise his eyelids to glance at the young man sitting in front of him.
The young man was tall, long-legged, and lean, but everyone who had fought with him knew how strong and cruel he was. Now that he was being stared at, his handsome face was solemn, his body was straight and unmoved, and he looked like he would not be afraid even if the sky fell.
"Cheng Rushan, after inspection, you have performed well. We have decided to invite you to join the special forces for further training." The officer glanced at Cheng Rushan and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Cheng Rushan's eyes were dark and his face was calm. "Sir, are we forced to join the army?"
The author has something to say: Cheng Dabao: No matter how big or small a man is, he must take charge at the critical moment!
Cheng Xiaobao: Why didn't you take charge of the family before? Hehe.
Cheng Dabao: Silly~~roe deer!
Cheng Xiaobao: I am the silly roe deer younger brother, and you are the silly roe deer older brother, hahahaha~~
