Chapter 14 Thick-faced Male Lead
After entering the yard, Liu Yiyue quickly made room for the stove and lit the fire for An Zhixia. Just then, the men pushed the door open.
Qi Yunlan was also busy serving the food and bringing it into the house one by one.
An Zhixia didn't hold on to the matter any longer. After simply sautéing the pot, she poured hot water into it, leaned over and said to An Zhiqiu, "Brother, I've boiled water for you and put it in the kettle. Go wash up first, and I'll cook the meal soon."
After An Zhiqiu took a bath and changed into the clothes she had prepared on the kang, the knife-cut noodles were ready.
The female educated youth in the next room also gathered here, listening to the men talking about the thrills of the past few days and the joy of their gains while eating.
The three people they mentioned the most were Fang Yuan, who lived in the cowshed. He was good at martial arts and reconnaissance, and was a good hunter of prey. Half of what everyone hunted was due to his efforts. One was Hang Xianglei, who was born in a Shanghai compound and had been training since he was a child. Naturally, he was good at martial arts and had very accurate marksmanship. He took down 20% of the prey by himself. The other was the male protagonist, Cui Tianhao, the second son of the village party secretary who worked as a worker in the town. It was said that he was tall and strong, had a lot of strength, was brave and resourceful, and was one of the most capable people in the village. When he was a child, he learned a few tricks from an old hunter and was very good at setting traps.
After they finished their meal and chatted for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest, excitedly waiting to divide the prey tomorrow. An Zhixia pulled her brother into the kitchen and asked him in detail while boiling water.
An Zhiqiu sighed, thought for a moment, and then told the whole story: "We found a group of about 20 wild boars, each of them is very fierce, with such long fangs. Fang Yuan meant that there are too many wild boars in this group, and they are so fierce. Even if we have dozens of people and weapons in our hands, it is not easy to take them down. Knowing that the damage will be serious, it is better to choose another way down the mountain.
But the villagers were unwilling to give up and criticized him. Hang Xianglei and Cui Tianhao discussed it and thought that they could dig traps to separate the wild boars and defeat them one by one.
When they were fighting the wild boar, some problems arose, and several villagers fell down the mountain and broke their legs. "I," he said in a low voice, his face turned cold, "I was fine, but I had the bad luck to stand next to Cui Tianhao. The wild boar was originally going to rush towards him, but he pulled me back. The wild boar's fangs were heading towards my stomach, and if Fang Yuan hadn't knocked me down, he would have turned around and stabbed the beast.
I think my intestines would be pulled out by the boar's tusks."
At this point, both the brother and sister shuddered. In this era of backward medical equipment, lack of medicines, and inconvenient transportation, such injuries would only mean waiting for death.
"Then what?" An Zhixia asked, gritting her teeth in anger. "You were saved and your life was saved. What did he say? Did anyone else see it?"
An Zhiqiu was also very depressed. "No, we were blocked by a tree at that time, and others saw me stumble and bump into the wild boar's tusks. He acted as if nothing had happened, and even muttered something like if you don't know how to hunt, just stand away and don't get in the way!
I have never seen such a shameless person. He has no guilt at all.
No wonder he became the most promising person in the village. With his means and thick skin, I wonder how many people he stepped on to get to the top. "
An Zhixia was stunned for a moment, "So arrogant?"
"Of course not. His father is the village party secretary and the top leader of Hetang Village. He is also the only city dweller in the village. He has a wide network of contacts and many ways to get along with people. Why would he be afraid of a young educated youth like us who has just arrived and has no roots?" An Zhiqiu said self-deprecatingly, and immediately soothed An Zhixia's frown. "Well, now we live in a society ruled by law. The village head is in charge of the farm work and he doesn't talk to the village party secretary. Don't worry about it. Stay away from him if you see him in the future. Got it?"
An Zhixia hummed dejectedly. When she was reading the novel, she felt that the male protagonist, who was tough and had both literary and martial skills, was extremely charming, and the female protagonist, who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside and self-reliant, made a fortune in silence, which was quite satisfying. But now that she was the cannon fodder affected, it was not so wonderful.
The male and female protagonists are full of malice towards her!
After waking up, everyone was as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood. After a simple meal, they wrapped themselves in cotton-padded jackets and gathered at the village committee.
An Zhixia followed her brother closely, and when the educated youth arrived, she could only stand on tiptoe at the periphery and listen with her ears pricked up.
"Villagers, our winter hunting has ended yesterday. Although there were some twists and turns, the harvest was very rich..." Hearing this, everyone clapped and cheered happily, and the atmosphere was very contagious.
After a brief lecture, the hired butcher arrived with his tools, along with the purchaser from the supply and marketing cooperative. Half of the prey had to be handed over to the government, and the rest was divided among the others in the ratio of 40% labor to 60% work.
The brother and sister also got two kilograms of wild boar meat, a pheasant and a wild rabbit.
As the people gradually dispersed with the wild animals, An Zhiqiu bumped An Zhixia's arm and pointed his chin in one direction, "Well, the man in the group of women is Cui Tianhao."
An Zhixia stuffed the rabbit into her brother's arms, put her hands behind her back, and pretended to be curious about it.
"Haozi, why don't you bring a box of vanishing cream from town for your sister-in-law..."
"Brother Hao, I want a piece of soap. Do you have a ticket? I'll exchange it for you with money..."
"Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, can you buy some brown sugar?"
Young girls and wives were about to overwhelm the men, waving banknotes while quarreling. Their watery eyes and red cheeks were not sure if it was because of the east wind or because they were too excited to control themselves when seeing the handsome men.
"Sisters, sisters, sisters-in-law, aunts, let's go one by one," Cui Tianhao raised his hand helplessly, shook his pen and notebook, and said with a cheerful smile: "I have to remember them one by one. If I miss any one, don't you think I've wasted my money?"
Everyone laughed: "You are a worker in the city, how can you be interested in the few cents in our hands?" But they quickly lined up and suddenly exposed An Zhixia.
Cui Tianhao glanced over and both of them saw each other clearly.
As the male protagonist, he is the village grass of Hetang Village. He is dressed in a navy blue work suit, which makes him look taller and more upright. He has regular features, fair skin, smooth hair, and a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose. He is a beast in human clothing.
An Zhixia took two glances at him, remembered his appearance deeply, and ran away with her braids swung.
Cui Tianhao's eyes flashed with contempt, and he lowered his head and smiled as he registered people. He was a worker in the town's leather shoe factory. Because he had a high school education, he worked in the office and occasionally went to the workshop. He was good-looking and had a good temper, so he was very popular with women. Naturally, he became a fat piece of meat in the eyes of some educated youth who went to the countryside.
Judging from the way this new female educated youth looked at him without blinking, she might have had the same idea?
