Chapter 184 Cuckold?
The next morning, Lin Shu was still half asleep when she heard the kids playing outside.
Tiantian: "Why didn't my second aunt and second uncle worship heaven and earth? When grandpa told stories, they had to worship heaven and earth when they got married." Panpan: "
In the new society, you don't have to worship heaven and earth. You can just bow to great people and offer tea to elders."
Tiantian: "I think worshiping heaven and earth is fun."
She began to direct little Hou Weier and Baoer to worship heaven and earth, "You are the bride, you are the groom, I am the master of ceremonies, and Panpan is the head of the family."
Panpan: "I am alone!"
Tiantian: "It's okay, you are both the father and the mother, and you can also be the father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Lin Shu was very upset.
She pried open her eyelids and looked around. It was still not very bright outside, and she didn't hear the voices of her elder sister and sister-in-law. She guessed that the children slept too long yesterday and got up early. Since no one was awake, she would sleep a little longer.
The children at home were all sensible. They didn't bother the adults when they got up early. After playing for a while, they followed Lu Shaotang and Hou Bo to exercise.
Around 8:30, Lu Shaotang brought them back with breakfast. Everyone was basically awake.
Lu Shaotang brought porridge and buns into the house and saw Lin Shu wrapped in a quilt, leaning on the pillow lazily, looking like she was about to get up but was still sleepy.
He curled his lips, got a glass of warm water, brought it over, reached out to pick up his wife and fed her water.
Lin Shu blinked her long eyelashes, "Are the elder sisters up?"
Lu Shaotang lied casually, "No, I was too tired yesterday and didn't eat much. Today everyone said they would have two meals. Hou Bo took his brothers and sisters to play."
There are many fun places around the steel mill. The children have pocket money and are having fun.
Children with playmates don't pester their parents at all.
Lin Shu felt at ease and stayed in bed, leaning on his arms and letting him massage her shoulders, "It hurts my bones."
The couple lay there for a while, and Lin Shu got up and dressed.
She couldn't tell why she felt a little lazy today. She was afraid that she had caught a cold because she was too tired these two days.
It's cold and windy in winter. If you work too hard and sweat and are blown by the wind, you will easily catch a cold.
She asked Lu Shaotang to help her put two slices of ginger candy in the millet porridge, and added some brown sugar. She drank it while it was hot and ate the ginger slices. She felt her body restored and felt much more comfortable.
When she got up and went out to check on her elder sister and sister-in-law, she found that they had already gone to her second sister's house.
Lin Shu: "..."
It's terrible, Lu Shaotang would lie.
Lu Shaotang came out holding her big cotton-padded jacket and put it on her, "Let's go to my second sister's house. It's just in time to prepare lunch now."
Lin Shu took the initiative to take Lu Shaotang's arm and went out. The snow that had fallen two days ago was piled on the side of the road. There were many small footprints on it from the children's steps, and there was also a human-shaped mark, which looked like Baoer from the size.
Lin Shu's heart was particularly soft. She was really grateful for fate, which allowed her to travel through time, meet such a family, manage such a marriage, and experience such a life.
She felt happy and glanced around to see if there was anyone around. She wanted to give Lu Shaotang a surprise kiss in broad daylight. Just as she was about to tiptoe to signal Lu Shaotang to lower his head and come closer, she heard a low quarrel coming from the other side of the hedge not far away.
The man's voice was suppressed and he was furious. "Don't say nice things to me. If he doesn't like you, why does he always look for you?"
Female voice: "He didn't always look for me, he just sent me a few notices."
"Then why did you go to the park with him alone? Don't you think it's too indecent?"
"Can you please stop talking so harshly? How could I go to the park with him? It was a student who was angry with his family and ran away. We went to find that student."
"Oh, what a coincidence, why is it always you two?"
"How can it be always us two? We have been working together for so many years, isn't it just a few times?" The woman's voice was also angry, "Gao Hu, don't make groundless assumptions. If a couple doesn't trust..."
"Yu Mingming, you still have the nerve to blame me? Why don't you reflect on yourself and why don't you let me trust you?"
Lu Shaotang had heard it with his sharp ears, but he has never been interested in other people's gossip. He held Lin Shu and quickened his pace.
Lin Shu heard the two names, Yu Mingming and Gao Hu. If I remember correctly, this is the female teacher who was harmed by Qiu Lina in the original plot.
Teacher Yu Mingming, in the original plot, Qiu Lina was jealous and misunderstood, and deliberately spread rumors to report that she and Wei Lan had an affair. As a result, she was abused by her husband, and was disliked by colleagues, neighbors, and relatives. In the end, she had to commit suicide to get rid of it.
Now she seems to be caught in a similar whirlpool again, and is suspected and accused by her husband for no reason.
Maybe it was her husband Gao Hu who killed her in the original plot. Others spread rumors and reported it. Not only did he not protect his wife, but he hurt and humiliated her more viciously than outsiders.
If she had not lost the trust and dependence on all her relatives, how could she have easily committed suicide?
It must be that everyone around her was accusing her, no one believed her, and her husband was just convicting her based on hearsay without in-depth investigation and evidence.
Lin Shu felt that if she didn't hear it, it would be fine, but if she heard it, she had to speak out, or if she was weak and helpless, she would not care about other people's affairs casually, but now her life is stable, her husband has status and position and a certain influence, and can protect her safety, then she should speak out for other weak people.
She stepped forward and walked over, the man on the other side of the fence immediately stopped talking, but the woman sobbed softly.
The man impatiently told her not to make a fool of herself.
Lin Shu rushed to a slightly larger gap in the hedge, and stood there just in time to meet the man and woman on the other side.
The man had a clean-shaven beard, and his hair was smeared with shiny hair oil, which was dazzling in the sunlight.
Damn it, you suspect your wife is cheating on you, and you still have the mood to dress up?
The woman was of medium height, with a gentle and weak temperament, fair and delicate skin, and a beautiful face. She was indeed a beauty that made people's eyes light up.
There was a pungent and rich aroma of vanishing cream coming from the two of them, the kind that even Panpan and Tiantian disliked.
Lin Shu looked at the woman wiping her tears. She didn't look like the type who would apply such pungent lotion. But the man's face was smooth, and there was some greasy stuff on the roots of his hair, probably the remnants of lotion that hadn't been spread out.
Lin Shu had a lot of experience in identifying scumbags on the Internet in her previous life, and she immediately had an intuition in her mind: How could this man be so gay?
She would not say it directly without evidence, but based on the anger of the original plot, Lin Shu said bluntly: "I say you are a man who is really despicable. Not only are you petty, but you also have the habit of wearing a cuckold? You have no solid evidence of your wife's infidelity, but you still accuse her of cheating. What's wrong with you? Do you have to imagine yourself as a cuckold?
You must have a psychological or mental illness, forcing yourself to say that you were betrayed by your wife, crying everywhere like a loser. Selling badly, accusing his wife of infidelity.
Do you know? Generally, men who act like this have something to hide. He may have betrayed his wife and marriage a long time ago, but he is unwilling to bear the condemnation of conscience and morality, so he tries every means to find stains on his wife and prove that his wife is unclean, so as to get relief from his heart!
Hey--tsk!"
Lin Shu spat exaggeratedly, and gave the man a noble Hua Fei-style roll of the eyes without any hesitation.
The man was so angry that his face turned blue. He opened his mouth several times to interrupt her, but was blocked by her rapid-fire output.
The man pointed at her, "Where did you come from, you slut? I don't even know you, yet you slander me!"
Lin Shu curled her lips, "You know your wife, but you slander her without any evidence? How come you can slander others, but I say you are slandering? Why would I want to slander a cuckold?"
She rolled her eyes again, turned around and took the arm of Lu Shaotang who was waiting on the side and walked away happily.
Scolding people every day is so cool!
Compared with these men who are into women, Lu Shaotang is really generous and fresh. He didn't get angry when he saw another man confessing to his wife, and he didn't turn his face to his wife, nor was he petty to that man.
Ah, she is so lucky.
Lu Shaotang stood aside and waited quietly from the moment his wife started to get excited. Whenever his wife quarreled with others, he would remain silent unless they came to blows.
He had long seen clearly that his wife's verbal combat power was even better than a hundred of him tied together.
If other masters were to save face in public, they would definitely get angry if their wives suddenly accused strangers, and would definitely hold their wives down to prevent them from losing face.
But Lu Shaotang couldn't agree. In his eyes, his wife was gentle, virtuous, rational, and cultured. If she wanted to scold someone, it was definitely because the other person deserved to be scolded. Even
if she wanted to scold him, she was right.
Apart from anything else, it was clear from the fact that his mother, who was so difficult to deal with, obeyed her daughter-in-law.
Lin Shu raised her head and smiled at him, receiving a pair of smiling black eyes from Lu Shaotang.
She was in a better mood, and she put her little face on his arm, rubbing it like a spoiled child, "Well~~ Lu Shaotang, I like you so much, I love you so much, what should I do~~"
That little clip sound made Lu Shaotang's bones numb.
Well, I must let her try using such a voice tonight.
Lin Shu buried her head in Lu Shaotang's arm and chest and was acting coquettishly, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Why didn't Lu Shaotang react? She raised her head quietly, and was embarrassed for a moment, and saw Comrade Fu Guihua, the women's director of the steel rolling mill, staring at the two of them with her mouth wide open and her eyes wide open.
Lin Shu's body froze, and she wished she could pass out.
Fu Guihua had cleared her throat, and replayed the situation that Lin Shu had scolded her twice before, and then she suppressed her laughter and greeted the two with a smile, "Let's take a walk."
Lu Shaotang had a calm expression and a cold voice, "Good morning, Director Fu."
Yesterday, all of them came to attend Lin Xia's wedding. Although it was just a brief encounter, Lu Shaotang had a good memory, and he could remember everything naturally due to his occupational disease.
Fu Guihua didn't expect Lu Shaotang to remember who she was, and she was a little excited, "Good morning, the young couple loves each other, and I hope they will have three or four children soon."
Lin Shu had let go of Lu Shaotang and took two steps, and she almost tripped over her right foot with her left foot. Fortunately, Lu Shaotang hugged her and didn't let her fall to the ground.
Fu Guihua was secretly pleased with herself, "You little brat, even though you are good at talking, you are definitely not as thick-skinned as me, the head of the women's department."
She felt proud of finally getting back at Lin Shu.
After Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang left, Yu Mingming on the other side of the fence looked at her husband Gao Hu and had a deep and complicated feeling.
She just felt that her husband didn't trust her. No matter how she explained or proved her innocence, he didn't believe her and was sure that she had an affair with someone else.
He kept blaming her, and because of his continuous accusations, she didn't think that he might be intentional or perverted.
Who said that the party who accuses and doubts first is reasonable, right?
The more she thought about Lin Shu's words, the more she felt that they made sense. Why didn't he believe her no matter how she explained? Because he did it on purpose!
There is no other reason except that it was intentional!
Her eyes turned cold and she became angry, "Gao Hu, you don't have to force me like this. If we can't live together, let's get divorced!"
Gao Hu got anxious when he heard it, and said angrily: "Look, you still don't admit that you have an affair with someone. You just listen to what a woman you don't know says? Do you have a brain? You are the one making excuses!"
Yu Mingming: "Because she is right! What I heard makes sense, but you, it doesn't make sense! Besides, who said she was an unfamiliar woman? She is not your Master Lin's... "Sister? Isn't she Director Jiang's sister-in-law? Isn't she the advanced individual and the most beautiful military wife selected by the city?"
She spoke louder and louder, and finally stared at Gao Hu, with a ruthless look, "I think what she said makes sense, more reasonable than your inexplicable suspicion! I will go to your security department to report the case now, let them thoroughly investigate to see if there is any problem with me, and then check if there is any problem with you! After the investigation, we will break up!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran away. They
have been married for three years. Except for the first two or three months when he treated her like a husband, he has been finding faults since she became pregnant, either accusing her of being close to this man or flirting with that man.
At first, he was half joking. After she gave birth to a son, he blamed her more and more. He was suspicious all day long and wanted to pin the charges of infidelity and cheating on her.
No one supported her and gave her strength. It was his aggressiveness that made her never think that she could resist.
If Lin Shu hadn't woken her up just now, she would still be desperately explaining and proving to gain his trust.
If he did it on purpose, how could he believe her?
Now she realized that not everyone would doubt her like he did!
She struggled for two years and didn't want to endure it anymore!
She didn't want to fight to prove her innocence to him anymore.
Get out of here, you motherfucker!
Lin Shu didn't know that her casual words of justice would break up the couple again.
They were making lunch together at the second sister's house, talking and laughing, not to mention how happy they were.
Mrs. Jiang originally wanted to show that she was a good mother-in-law and wanted to cook for her daughters-in-law, but with Lin Shu and Sister Lin here, where would it be her turn?
They let her play with the children while they cooked.
Mrs. Jiang was so happy that she went to clean up the uneaten chicken, duck and fish.
Although this wedding cost a lot of money and ate a lot of rice, noodles, meat, eggs and fish, Mrs. Jiang was happy.
Besides, everyone who came to the wedding was accommodating. Some were given money, some were given food stamps, and some were given gifts. Close relatives and friends also helped a lot.
As she sorted, she muttered: "I will go back to my parents' home in three days. I have to give them money for the New Year and bring more meat and snacks."
"And I have to bring more gifts back to my mother-in-law Lu Jiazhuang. They are going to kill the New Year pig. , don’t give them meat or anything, just give them more food coupons so they can buy fine food.”
Tiantian listened to her mumbling and asked curiously, “Grandma, what spell are you chanting?”
Old Mrs. Jiang laughed and said, “I’m I was wondering, how did you hear it?"
Tiantian: "You have been talking all the time."
The old lady likes to mutter to herself as she gets older. I thought she was just thinking in her mind, but in fact she said it all out loud.
She laughed again, "Grandma is so happy, I started nagging without realizing it."
She quietly gave New Year's money to Tiantian. She gave money to all the children, but she especially liked Tiantian and Panpan and wanted to give more.
Tiantian didn't refuse and put it in her pocket. Mom said that if the elders give money, you should keep it, but tell your parents that she will return the favor in the future, which means giving more New Year's money to the baby of my second aunt
. She is so well behaved that Old Lady Jiang loves her even more.
After a feast of fish and meat the past two days, Lin Shu and Sister Lin decided to keep it simple today. They cooked some noodles with yesterday's meat soup and ate them with salted vegetables and kimchi. very good.
While eating, Lin Shu secretly observed her second sister and Jiang Weidong. The feeling of the two getting along with each other after marriage is really different from before.
Although they were in love before, they mainly focused on the ambiguous glances, secretly holding hands, hugging, and kissing. Lift your head high. Now that they are married, the two of them have too much physical contact to bear.
Whenever you see them, Jiang Weidong is either hugging his wife or embracing her waist. When they sit down to eat, he has to rub her back. She rubbed it a few times.
It was so cheesy that even Sister Lin was embarrassed to watch it.
She secretly winked at Lin Shu and teased the two younger sisters. When they were in Qizhou, she teased Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang for being close, but compared to Jiang Weidong, the third brother-in-law was still very Restrained, at least not making so many small movements in front of others.
After lunch, Lu Shaotang and Hou Jianwen had to go back to Qizhou first, as they were still working.
Brother Lu, Sister Lu, and Lin Yue also went home first.
After seeing Lu Shaotang off, everyone went back to the house to talk.
Sister Lin Lin Shu and Lin Xia discussed, "Do you think your brother-in-law and I should take the children to the farm to spend the New Year with their grandma?"
In the past, I didn't think it was important to spend the New Year with my grandma, but now that my grandma has gone to the farm, The conditions there are tough and the elderly are lonely.
If they go there, the old couple should be very encouraged, otherwise it will be sad and bleak for the old couple to spend the New Year alone.
Lin Shu and Lin Xia both support it.
Jiang Weidong naturally supports it too.
Mrs. Jiang was even more moved. She loved to hear stories about filial piety. She said, "To go out of the province, you have to take a train. Trains are expensive. You and your family of five children have to buy child tickets. It's not cheap. Auntie, I will support you with 20 yuan. "
Sisters Lin Shu and Lin Shu all talked to Old Lady Jiang about this from Father and Mother Lin, and they all called her Auntie.
Sister Lin hurriedly said no, but Old Lady Jiang said that it was settled, and it was not enough for her to The sisters chipped in.
Panpan immediately raised her hand and said, "I can give 10 yuan. Of course, if my mother lets us sell candied haws again before the New Year, I can give 20 yuan."
The second sister had just gotten married, and it was estimated that she spent It was not a small amount of money, but Lu Jiazhuang and Fang Dihua gave big red envelopes.
Lu Jiazhuang gave eighty-eight and Fang Dihua gave ninety-nine.
Being able to give so much is of course thanks to the hygienic incense.
Jiang Weidong refused to take it, so Lin Shu asked her second sister to accept it.
At this time, the second sister used one hundred to support the eldest sister, so that they could be more comfortable when they went, and she could also help the old couple.
Lin Shu felt that Hou Deming would definitely retaliate. The old man was a grateful person and would not forget the people he helped when he got better in the future. The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law would definitely pay back the money, so she asked the eldest sister to accept it.
She also helped with some money.
For Lin Shu, it was easy to make money with so much knowledge in her previous life, so she didn't care at all about how her family spent money.
She values feelings more.
Sister Lin refused to take any of them, so she calculated and collected some. The fabric and cotton that Fang Dihua had helped with earlier were of great help. She mailed them to her parents-in-law and then made a phone call. Her mother-in-law, who had always been picky about her, was moved to tears.
It can be seen that the farm is really hard.
Mrs. Jiang liked it very much. She patted Lin Shu's arm, rubbed Tiantian's head, and said with a smile: "How can we live without encountering difficulties? Brothers and sisters in a family help each other and make decisions together, so there is no problem. Kan'er, why don't we like to have more children? We just hope that you will love each other."
Although things always go against our wishes, there are many brothers who cannot love each other and even turn against each other.
But parents always have good wishes, right?
Seeing the three sisters Lin Shu helping each other can comfort Mrs. Jiang's heart after half a lifetime of vicissitudes.
She used to envy others, but now she also has a very good daughter-in-law who is devoted to her. She no longer needs to envy others, and she can happily show off her daughter-in-law to others.
The next morning, she asked everyone to take pictures together. Jiang Weidong said that he would not borrow the camera from the factory to take pictures at home, but insisted on taking them to the photo studio.
Mrs. Jiang had a very good idea. Not only did she want to take pictures of indoor and outdoor landscape backgrounds, but she also had to take pictures of the surrounding outdoor areas, and then she also had to take a family photo.
Although taking pictures is expensive, how could we not take pictures when the banquet was already held for such a big wedding as our son’s wedding?
Lin Shu and her elder sister wanted to help her, but Old Lady Jiang said, "I'm strong enough. I still need to take care of the children next year, so I don't need your help."
She was afraid that she would be disliked by others
for being old and not be allowed to take care of grandchildren. Lin Shu smiled and let the old lady do what she wanted. Anyway, no one could help her every day.
When she went out, she happened to meet Mother Qian and Zhang Shuxia coming back from outside.
Mother Qian held her head high, looking like a noble and inviolable mother-in-law. Zhang Shuxia followed behind her with her head down, looking like a humble and submissive girl.
When the two groups of people met, they were from the same factory and they should greet each other, but Qian's mother was resentful. She hated Lin Xia for being ignorant, hated the Jiang family for poaching, and hated her family for bringing shame. In short, she felt imbalanced, and the more imbalanced she was, the more she wanted to show off. Mrs. Jiang
wanted to show off to her before, but now she really has such a good daughter-in-law like Lin Xia, she is very satisfied and doesn't want to get angry with the Qian family.
She saw Zhang Shuxia lowered her head but her eyes were full of resentment and coldness, so she said loudly to Qian's mother: "You are just a mother-in-law, why do you put on airs like a capitalist mother-in-law? That kind of thing is not allowed in the new society. Under the leadership of the Party and the factory committee, it is not allowed to exploit and bully daughters-in-law!"
Qian's mother was so angry that she slipped and almost fell. Did the old woman do this on purpose? She wanted to sow discord between her and her daughter-in-law!
She glanced at Zhang Shuxia hatefully, and then said unhappily: "Who are you acting like a punching bag for all day? Did I abuse you?"
Zhang Shuxia immediately said in fear: "No, my mother is very good to me, and I respect her."
Qian's mother glanced at Old Lady Jiang proudly, and then led Zhang Shuxia away quickly.
Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head and said to Lin Shu and the others, "The Qian family is very competitive, but they don't have any ulterior motives. They just do things that seem to be cheap but are actually mean and not beneficial to themselves."
The first time he was mean to his daughter-in-law, he lost a good daughter-in-law like Lin Xia.
The second time he was mean to his daughter-in-law, he didn't know what he was going to lose.
Based on her decades of experience in judging people, she knew that Zhang Shuxia was not a pushover. Unlike Lin Xia, who was kind and honest, she would leave at most if she was bullied by the Qian family. This Zhang Shuxia clearly didn't want to leave the Qian family. If she was bullied... it was hard to say.
People who met them on the road congratulated them one after another, and the envy in their eyes could not be hidden.
Old Lady Jiang was so proud of the envy that people couldn't hide. The congratulations on her face might be fake, but the envy in her eyes was real.
Old Lady Jiang felt that she was much younger!
The photographer was an old man in his early fifties. He was full of compliments to Old Lady Jiang, which made Old Lady Jiang happy. She spent money to take pictures and bought satisfaction. It was double satisfaction. The money was worth it!
Tomorrow is the day when Jiang Weidong will accompany Lin Xia to return home. Lin Shu will also take the children home, and Sister Lin will take the children back to Qizhou.
In the evening, Lin Shu tricked Old Lady Jiang, "Auntie, let's go to the countryside to have a look. There are many people and it's lively."
Old Lady Jiang subconsciously refused. I'm sorry, there is no such custom. The daughter-in-law returns home after three days and brings the old woman? Wouldn't people laugh at the Lin family?
She couldn't bring gossip to her daughter-in-law's family.
Lin Xia also said, "Mom, it's okay. My parents have long said that they want to meet you and get closer."
When Lin Shu brought Fang Dihua and Lin's mother to the hospital, she met Mrs. Jiang. Later, Lin Shu and Mrs. Jiang had a better relationship. Later, she brought Lin Xia to the Jiang family.
Before she married Jiang Weidong, Mrs. Jiang warmly invited her and her sister to live at home.
Even if she was not Mrs. Jiang's daughter-in-law, she was willing to invite Mrs. Jiang to visit her home, not to mention that they were a family now?
Her relationship with Mrs. Jiang began with Mrs. Jiang's help and protection for her, not just mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Their relationship is of course different from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law they met through blind dates. It is more sincere and profound, and they directly skipped the stage of running-in.
Seeing that his mother and second aunt had this intention, the kid tried his best to act cute, pulling old lady Jiang and calling her grandma all the time, and within two minutes, old lady Jiang coaxed him into a trance.
"Okay, okay, go, I'll go!"
"I'm happy to go, but I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble to you and be disliked."
Panpan smiled and said, "My grandfather said that things that are far away smell good, and that if you live in a relative's house for a long time, you will smell bad. So, grandma, you can stay at my grandma's house for two days and then stay at my house for two days, so that you will always smell good."
Everyone was amused by the child.
Since she was going to the countryside with the children, old lady Jiang started to prepare other gifts.
She had several net bags for buns and several black headbands, which were the few gifts given to her by her young daughter-in-law.
Because the factory where the daughter-in-law worked made small things like these hairpins, the daughter-in-law gave her a headband every holiday.
I don't know if she forgot or thought it was economical to give her a headband because she consumed a lot of money, but she gave it to her every time, some with wavy shapes and some with smooth straight strips.
Old Mrs. Jiang accepted it happily every time and didn't remind her daughter-in-law that she had given it to her before.
She planned to give it to Fang Dihua and Lin's mother, and to other old ladies as well.
The next day, they sent off Sister Lin and her three children first, letting them take the train back to Qizhou, and then Jiang Weidong drove the jeep to take the family back to the countryside.
At this time, Lujiazhuang was busy under the organization of the brigade cadres. There were
people delivering pigs on missions to the commune, selling eggs, and people in the village who were busy slaughtering the New Year pigs, making vermicelli, making tofu, and grinding.
In the countryside, no matter what you do, it is not done by one family alone, but in groups.
Selling and killing pigs is not to mention, the same is true for making vermicelli and tofu.
Especially now that there is a water wheel pump to pump water out, it can also drive the stone mill. In addition to grinding fragrant noodles, members also come here to grind corn noodles, sweet potato noodles, salt, etc. Some people even clean the millstone and grind soy milk here. After grinding, they go home to make tofu.
In the words of the members, the water wheel pump runs all day and night, and it can't be wasted.
That piece of wheat field was watered in late autumn and early winter. There is no need to irrigate in winter, so the water from the water wheel pump is not used to irrigate the field, but diverted to let it return to the river.
Originally, the members thought that if they didn't water the field and let the water wheel pump keep running, wouldn't that be too wasteful?
Although Hou Jianwen and others said that the water turbine pump does not require oil or electricity, the members of the cooperative had little education and no real sense. They always felt that it was a waste if the water turbine was working but not watering the land. It would be better to just stop it.
Hou Jianwen told them that they didn't need to stop even if they didn't water the land. If they stopped, they would have to pump the water wheel out, which would be inappropriate. It would be better to let it keep turning. The village also needed to grind the flour, right?
The members then had a real feeling. It really didn't take any effort. The water wheel pump turned when the water flowed, and it could grind the flour.
They all felt that the work of the water wheel pump should not be wasted. How much hardship would it take to turn it every day?
So when the Lu family was not grinding flour, they lined up and took turns to push the mill. Anyway, they didn't go to the fields in winter. Some families lined up until late at night to grind flour, and there were people there until dawn.
It's easy to freeze if it's too cold. Didn't the brigade build a shed for it?
Light two braziers, pay attention to safety and don't let them burn. If it's warm inside, the stone mill won't freeze, and naturally it won't delay everyone from grinding flour.
The brigade secretary now likes to walk around the village with his hands behind his back to see how the wheat is doing. Oh, it's really good. There will definitely be a bumper harvest next year!
It's all thanks to Hou Gong and others, and of course it's also thanks to Comrade Lin Shu, the technical team she hired.
He then looks at the members' mat weaving in the winter, catches those who are idle and playing cards and gambling, and then takes a closer look at the pig farm.
Don't say it, Lin Shu is really amazing, she knows how to use people well, look at how hardworking Lu Changfu and Zhao Meifeng are now.
Zhao Meifeng is responsible for feeding the pigs, cleaning the pigsty, and chopping up rotten cabbage for the pigs to lick.
While learning technology from a veterinarian, Lu Changfu also treated the livestock of his team. In his spare time, he also helped his mother feed pigs and clean the pigsty.
The branch secretary was worried about them. After all, Lu Changfu had always had a bad image. He was lazy at work and just wanted to spend his days idling around, playing cards, bragging and flirting with girls.
Not only did Baldy flirt with him to play cards and gamble, but he also flirted with the female educated youth at the educated youth point. When the branch secretary found out, he severely scolded him.
Since Lin Shu suggested that he learn veterinary medicine, the branch secretary sent him to the commune to learn technology from a veterinarian. Every two days, the branch secretary would ride a bicycle to the commune to check on him.
Under his supervision, Lu Changfu did not dare to give up and learned well. Although he often wanted to slack off, the veterinarian of the commune had a bad temper and did not tolerate him at all.
Lu Shaocai looked like he was abandoned by the capital, and Lu Changfu was more self-aware.
When his grandfather died, people would not care about them anymore, and he would have to work in the fields to earn work points.
Isn't being a veterinarian better than working in the fields?
It's easy and profitable!
So he started to study hard.
There was another more important reason, which was that the branch secretary threatened him, "Your aunt finally showed favoritism to your family and let you learn veterinary medicine and raise pigs, but you were lazy and did not do your job properly. Isn't this a slap in her face? You made her lose face, do you think she would be angry? If she is angry, will your uncle feel sorry for her? You will not have a good ending?"
Lu Changfu was really afraid of his uncle Lu Shaotang. Lu Shaotang had come to him once about the bald head incident, and the fear he left was too strong.
He had a low level of education and could not accurately describe that feeling, but that feeling of fear had penetrated into his mind and was monitoring him all the time.
Not only did he study veterinary medicine diligently, he also fed the pigs, cleaned up the pig manure, and examined the pigs in the pig farm.
He not only looked after the pigs in the Lujiazhuang Brigade pig farm, but also went to see other members of the Lujiazhuang Brigade when they had problems with their pigs. He was even invited to see other brigades near them when they had problems with their pigs. After all, it was far and expensive to ask the commune veterinarian, so it was better to ask him to give it a try.
The branch secretary also saw his potential and took the initiative to spend money to have the commune veterinarian teach Lu Changfu the techniques of castrating pigs, castrating sheep, chickens and ducks, etc. He also asked someone to buy veterinary study manuals from the county and city for him to study on his own.
After learning this, it is best to castrate all pigs and sheep that are not for breeding, so that they like to eat, grow strong, have fat and tender meat and no smell.
In short, the secretary did not think that this was the credit of Zhao Meifeng and Lu Changfu, he thought it was the credit of Lin Shu.
If there were no Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang, would Lu Changfu be able to do his job properly?
Impossible, he might have been caught stealing with the bald man a long time ago. Even if he could be rescued from the capital, he would only get worse and worse. How could he study veterinary medicine honestly like he is now?
Thinking of this, the secretary sternly educated Lu Changfu and told him to work hard and not bring shame to the Lu family.
"Your second master is a barefoot doctor, and you are an animal doctor. We are both doctors, and we must be equally good."
Lu Changfu said yes repeatedly, not daring to refute the branch secretary.
The branch secretary glanced at Zhao Meifeng who was feeding the pigs, praised her a few words, and then left with his hands behind his back.
The mother and son never went to work in the fields, and now they are raising pigs, which is really a complete utilization of waste.
Very good!
The branch secretary strolled to the street again and told those old men and women not to go out casually. It was icy and snowy, and it would be troublesome if they fell accidentally.
Elderly people would basically break bones if they fell.
Didn't I hear that the old lady of the Jie family was getting better a few days ago, but she insisted on going out for a walk, but she slipped and fell again, breaking the other side of her hip, and now she can't move anymore.
"Secretary, Secretary! Shaotang's wife is back with Director Jiang and his wife!"
Director Deng Dalaba sent a message to the secretary from a distance.
When the secretary heard this, his serious face immediately broke into a grin, "Is this the new daughter-in-law coming back to her parents' home? Let's go and take a look." As
soon as he shouted, other men, women, and children who had nothing to do also ran to Lu's house.
"Look at the new daughter-in-law."
If there was a woman who got married for the second time in the past, the members would only point fingers and talk about her. Not to mention blessing her, they would be drowned out by sour words.
Now everyone's concepts and attitudes have changed a lot.
This woman is Master Lin who can electrify them!
This woman is also Lin Shu's second sister and Director Jiang's wife!
How can it be the same?
Of course, some people were jealous, saying things like "A second marriage, what's so good about showing off?"
"No matter how good you are, what's the point? You're still divorced. Although I'm not as good as her and can be an electrician, I stayed with my original wife and didn't divorce her to get married again. I'm innocent from the beginning to the end, and I'm not fickle at all."
Such voices were soon drowned out by everyone's welcome.
The jeep started handing out cigarettes, candies, roasted melon seeds and peanuts, and glutinous rice sticks to everyone it met when it entered the village.
Some members have never tasted the fried, fragrant, crispy and sweet glutinous rice noodles in their lives.
And cigarettes, most members have never smoked cigarettes in their lives, they just watch the cadres smoke and enjoy the smell.
Now Jiang Weidong gives a cigarette to any man who smokes, and even gives two to the elderly, so that the old man can hold one in his mouth and one in his ear, enjoying the treatment of cadres.
The pride is beyond words!
When they saw Lin Shu and Lin Xia, Auntie Li, Auntie Qiu, Auntie Wang and others were stunned. "Oh my god, we either have chapped faces or frozen ears during the Chinese New Year, but how come these two sisters are getting younger and younger?"
"Look at their fair and delicate faces."
"Master Lin got tanned in the summer, but now she's fair again. She got fairer by covering herself up so fast."
The bride was in high spirits because of the good news, but Lin Shu went to the city to raise a little girl, right?
The women envied the sisters Lin Shu and Lin Xia, the men enjoyed the cigarettes given by Director Jiang, and the children surrounded Panpan and Tiantian.
"Panpan, you miss us so much!"
"Tiantian, we miss you so much!"
...
Huahua, Honghong, Huzi and other children all cried.
When Panpan saw it, he immediately shouted, "My second aunt is getting married, congratulations, everyone come over and give her some candy!"
