Wang Dafeng led Lin Jinbao over and asked, "When will it end?"
"Two hours later."
"It's been so long. It took about an hour before. Jinbao is hungry. I was planning to take him home for dinner."
"Just let Jinbao and Zhaodi go back."
"Forget it, Zhaodi. Go home and get the egg that's left over from this morning, and take these firewood home with you."
As she spoke, she placed the heavy backpack on her back.
Lin Yan thought this was a good idea, otherwise it would be too troublesome to go back and forth.
For children, walking a few more steps can be considered as exercise.
Dazhu's mother sat there and said sarcastically, "It's endless every day. My hands are so dry from rubbing corn, and it's almost dark and I still have to study here."
"I heard that the commune people will come to inspect together with the Red Guards. This is no joke."
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise the village chief and the team leader wouldn't take it so seriously."
"What you said makes sense. No wonder they're so busy today after just holding a meeting two days ago."
"I don't know where I put the Little Red Book. I have to find it tomorrow."
"Yeah, we can't read either. My little red book is covered in dust on the cabinet."
…
The people below were whispering, and those who had not wanted to listen here before stopped talking.
The Red Guards are no joke.
Even many wealthy families fell into their hands.
Liu Jiajia heard this and said, "I'm just trying to scare you. How could anyone come to our remote village?"
"Liu Zhiqing, you can't say that. During the last literacy campaign, people from higher authorities came to the market to conduct random checks. It's better to believe it than not. Besides, the village chief wouldn't make such a joke."
Old man Zhang said.
She rolled her eyes at this.
A peasant is a peasant. He gets so scared by a little thing. He has never seen the world.
Zhang Chengming said, "We're just sitting here listening. The one who's really tired is Mingqing, who keeps talking non-stop."
"Tsk, he asked for it."
Wang Mudan quickly pulled Liu Jiajia aside, as any further comments would anger everyone.
Wu Lili sat there in a daze, and ignored Zhang Chengming when he spoke to her.
How can there be such a person who doesn't even let me go back to my parents' home?
Liu Zhenzhu came over with the child and sat next to her.
"Pearl, Jiefang is really changing every day. He's grown a lot in the few days we haven't seen him."
"Really? I've been holding you all day and you didn't even notice."
"Oh, I don't know when my belly will give birth."
"It's very quick. When I gave birth, my child was not ready before he was born."
The two chatted for a few minutes and then started to play with the child.
Zhang Chengming and his wife said, "Mom, if Lili wants to go back to her parents' home, let her go. It's not a big deal. We've finished our work in the fields, so we have time."
"Son, what if something happens on the way? This child is not easy to come by."
"It's just two steps away and will take twenty minutes. It'll be fine."
"If you let her go back to her parents' home now, I'm afraid she'll have to go back every day."
Old Mrs. Zhang did not approve of them going to the Wu family.
Zhang Chengming thought that it wouldn't happen. The Wu family was a reasonable family. Besides, if Wu Lili went back every day and had to provide meals, the Wu family would be annoyed and they would not want to go back so much.
Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to remain in this stalemate.
"Mom, Lili and I will go back tomorrow."
"You kid, you really don't listen to me now that you're married. Do whatever you want."
Zhang Chengji said, "Mom, when will you tell me about your wife?"
"Let matchmaker Xu look at you."
He smiled and said to Zhang Chengming: "Brother, I will tell you that mother has already arranged it for me."
"What a waste! You're so greedy for a wife."
"You already have a child, so I have to hurry up. I don't want to be single."
Li Mingqing sat in the front and listened to the bustling conversation coming from below.
The whole village got together and had nothing to do except gossip.
Sun Jiaxue came here with Yang Daya and Li Lizhu.
The middle seat was already full of people, so the three sisters-in-law could only sit on the side.
What a coincidence that the Wang family is right next door.
Zhang Cuihua was originally sitting there with a gloomy look on her face, but when she saw the three sisters-in-law of the Li family, she immediately perked up.
Wang Daguo saw her like this and reminded her, "Mom, talk less."
"Tsk, I'm your mother. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. It's just a few words."
"Don't mess with the Li family."
"You kid, you're just chatting. I haven't said anything yet."
After Zhang Cuihua finished speaking, she turned around and started to provoke.
Sun Jiaxue wore a thin sweater to avoid catching a cold, which was bought for her by Li Mingqing.
In the eyes of the villagers, this is all money.
"Isn't this Jiaxue? What a beautiful sweater you're wearing! Look at everyone in this wheat field. You're the only one wearing a nice sweater. Even your second and third sisters-in-law are wearing patched clothes."
"Auntie, you can go to the county town to buy it."
Sun Jiaxue's words almost suffocated Zhang Cuihua to death.
"I can't just buy it whenever I want, and I can't rob people of their money. Your two sisters-in-law don't have any clothes, but it's not because you don't want to buy them. You don't need any at home, so why don't you buy them for all of your sisters-in-law?"
"Auntie, if we wanted it, we could just buy it ourselves."
"Lizhu, your fourth brother in the Li family has everything he needs. He even built a new house, but he never thought of helping you."
Li Lizhu said directly: "Auntie, you don't need to worry about my family's affairs. Just take care of your own family."
"What I said are all good words. Brothers should help each other."
Yang Daya rolled her eyes.
He said, "Which eye of yours saw that we didn't help each other? I think you are just jealous. You want to sow discord when you see that our family is living in harmony. You want everyone in the village to have a bad life when you yourself are not."
"I am reminding you kindly as someone who has experienced this."
"Stop talking, there's nothing you can say."
Li Lizhu and Yang Daya both felt that Li Mingqing had been very kind.
He helps find jobs, helps the children with their studies, and treats his nephews and nieces very well.
If you put yourself in their shoes, you will realize that they can’t do that.
Wang Daguo couldn't help but pull Zhang Cuihua again.
Why bother yourself?
Every time he met the Li family, whether it was Li Mingli's brothers, Zhang Lihua's sisters-in-law, or the old couple of the Li family, he would always try to sow discord.
If she had put this perseverance to work, she would have become rich long ago.
"Mom, please be quiet. It's not good for so many people to hear."
"You're not my son yet! Not only did you not help me, but you also pulled me."
Wu Li said at this time: "Yes, your mother is their elder after all, and she has no manners at all. You must side with your mother."
Wang Daguo said, "Uncle, you should also stop talking."
He just felt tired. Wu Li was trying to sow discord between them as mother and son, but his mother was completely unaware of it.
The meeting hasn't even started yet, but the atmosphere is already extremely lively, with people talking about all sorts of things.
