Lin Miaoyin sat on a small bench under the eaves, looking at the dark sky with some depression.
The author of this novel could have just written a villain, but he had to write about two lazy and gluttonous people becoming a couple. The only outcome for them is starving to death.
I just looked through the things at home and found only some sorghum flour and half a box of sweet potatoes. I did have some vegetables, but they were given by my parents and I didn't grow them myself.
She also felt a headache when she thought of the bed sheets and quilt covers at home that had obviously not been washed for several months since they got married, and the greasy kitchen.
At noon, I steamed two sweet potatoes and added sorghum rice. The stored food was emptied out. Oil and salt were in short supply, so I was reluctant to use them. So I carefully put in a little bit and fried a bowl of water spinach.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Meng Yuanzheng still didn't come back, she started eating. When she was almost done eating, she saw Meng Yuanzheng striding back.
Lin Miaoyin ignored him and continued eating, but thinking of him repairing the roof, she still left him a lot of food.
Meng Yuanzheng washed his hands, then scooped up some rice and sat down to eat.
Lin Miaoyin asked him, "It took you so long to return the things?"
When Meng Yuanzheng heard her question, he put down his chopsticks and explained, "A group of educated youth just arrived, and the secretary asked us old educated youth to welcome them and help move things."
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Miaoyin looking at him intently and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lin Miaoyin's heart skipped a beat, as if the original heroine was among this group of educated youth!
After meeting the heroine, Meng Yuanzheng changed his ways and became completely devoted to her. The more he couldn't get her, the more he wanted her.
No matter how the heroine treats him coldly, he will always come forward to please her.
"Are there many female comrades coming this time?" She poked the bottom of the rough bowl with chopsticks in a bad mood.
The appearance of the heroine means a lot of troubles are about to come.
Meng Yuanzheng did not doubt anything and answered naturally, "Quite a lot, about four or five."
"Where will they live then? The dormitories for educated youth are probably full," she asked tentatively.
In the original work, the newly arrived educated youth were arranged to live in the homes of their fellow villagers, and the heroine moved into the hero's home.
This reminds me of another female educated youth who came to the countryside with me. The author arranged for her to fall in love with Meng Yuanzheng.
After this female educated youth found out that Meng Yuanzheng liked the heroine, she turned evil and stood in the same camp with the original owner Lin Miaoyin to bully the heroine together.
If this female educated youth could be brought together with Meng Yuanzheng, they could become a family and wouldn't have to harm others.
Lin Miaoyin thought this was a good idea. Why not try to match them up? Maybe if it worked, she could get a divorce smoothly.
Besides, this female educated youth comes from a well-off family, so Meng Yuanzheng shouldn’t despise her.
Meng Yuanzheng held the bowl very politely. Even though it was a rough porcelain bowl, it looked pleasing to the eye when he held it.
Hearing Lin Miaoyin's question, he frowned. He was not actually concerned about where the heroine lived, but said, "This is something the secretary and the others should worry about."
Lin Miaoyin...
"How about asking a family with an empty house to take someone in temporarily? My dad said that he will build a new dormitory for educated youths after the grain is harvested."
Meng Yuanzheng said, "The secretary and the others will make the arrangements."
Lin Miaoyin...
She gave up. Communication was hopeless. It seemed that she had to fight for this matter on her own. The first step was to build a good relationship with this female educated youth and then bring her to live with her. There was an empty room in her home.
A very important point is to prevent Meng Yuanzheng and the heroine from meeting again, lest he fall into it again.
"Did you help them move things today?" she asked.
"Um."
“Are there any lesbians?”
"Um."
Meng Yuanzheng nodded, remembering that during the day the female educated youth all wanted him to help them move things, while the old male educated youth who were tanned and had been assimilated by the villagers were obviously ignored.
Of course he couldn't refuse, so he helped if he could.
"Well, sure, young man, you have a bright future."
She returned to the kitchen with the empty bowl in her arms, feeling relieved.
Meng Yuanzheng looked at her back in confusion, shook his head slightly, and continued eating.
After dinner, he automatically washed the dishes, said goodbye to Lin Miaoyin, and went out again.
Lin Miaoyin was eager for him to go out, and it would be even better if he could go find those female educated youth.
She was not afraid that he would meet the heroine. According to the original description, the heroine went to the commune to buy things in the afternoon of the first day she arrived, and she also met the hero. The two met for the first time, leaving behind a beautiful memory of a hero saving a beauty.
She simply lay down and took a nap. It was a rainy day and there was nothing to do anyway.
Moreover, they had just gotten married and did not get any private plots of land, so they could not grow anything on their own.
It’s really difficult to get meat to eat.
Going up the mountain to hunt, she doesn’t have the skills, and she should be careful not to be eaten by the prey, as there are still many ferocious beasts in the mountains.
If only the reform had been carried out now, she would have no place to realize her ideas of getting rich.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that the college entrance examination would be resumed in less than two years!
Her mind instantly became active. If she could get into university, it would be a great turn of events. For college students in this era, that was like stepping into a golden rice bowl.
I fell asleep while thinking, and when I woke up it was already dark and it was raining again.
She lit the kerosene lamp, but had no mood to cook, so she just sat in bed in a daze.
Meng Yuanzheng hasn't come back yet. Although she said she didn't care about him, she was still a little worried in her heart. What's more, she was a little scared to be alone at home. Why not go to her mother's house for a while.
He got out of bed, put on thicker clothes, put on a straw hat and raincoat, put on rubber shoes, and walked towards the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, when we were halfway there, we saw a group of people in front of us, arguing quite loudly.
The sky was already so dark that only dim light remained. The rain was getting heavier. The people in front were not wearing straw raincoats or hats. They walked towards the Lin family while arguing.
Could something have happened?
She quickly quickened her pace to catch up. When she got closer, she heard a woman crying and a man cursing. The road was muddy. The lights were on in the Lin family's house, and when they heard the noise, Lin's father and others came out to see what was going on.
They stopped in the Lin family yard and started to quarrel loudly. Lin Miaoyin followed and heard a woman crying and shouting, "My father, you died so tragically!"
Through the gaps in the crowd, she saw a simple shelf on the ground with an old man lying on it.
Is this a corpse?
Lin Miaoyin was horrified and took a step back.
What is going on? How come this dead person was carried to the Lin family? This is too unlucky! And let the corpse be exposed to the rain.
Wait, she seemed to see a familiar figure.
The man was held down by two men with his arms pinned down. He hung his head and looked quite embarrassed.
And why does his figure look so much like Meng Yuanzheng?
The author has something to say: Zheng Zheng is in trouble~
Dear friends passing by, please give me a thumbs up.
