"Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and put the tree trunks in place. At this speed you will take you a whole day." Yang Daya urged.
Sun Jiaxue's movements gradually became more skillful, and the two of them finished building the cage frame in an hour.
"You can handle the rest yourself." She said and went back to the house.
Sun Jiaxue wrapped the bottom of the fence with cloth so that the chicks would not run out.
Once you are done, place the fence against the wall.
"Grow up quickly, little chicken."
As she spoke, she put the mixed millet in.
The millet was left by Li Mingqing. Last night, he heard that Sun Jiaxue wanted to raise chickens, so he scooped a bowl of it and put it on the table before leaving in the morning.
If someone saw you feeding chicks with millet, they definitely wouldn't believe it.
Who would feed millet to chickens? Most people save millet porridge for their children. Many families don’t even have millet.
Sun Jiaxue specially brought the chicks into the house and fed them before taking them outside.
Inside the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister Zhao, this is wheat. I'll put it on the counter for you."
"I only have a few minutes until work starts. I live right behind you. Could you please help me deliver it? It's so heavy that it's hard for me to carry it back by myself."
"That's easy."
When Li Mingqing arrived, the mayor was dressed neatly and getting ready to go to work.
"Brother, this is Comrade Li whom I told you about before. He is young and promising."
The mayor said, "I'm busy going to work. Let's sit down and talk slowly when we have time later."
After saying that, he walked out carrying his briefcase and a glass of water.
The town government is not far from my home, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there.
"Sister Zhao, where should I put the wheat for you?"
"Just put it down."
After putting it down, a woman came out of the room and asked, "Xiaoling, what is this?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm in a hurry to get back to work. Please move inside later."
Wu Jingmei quickly said, "Going to work is the most important thing. I'm at home, don't worry."
Zhao Xiaoling and Wu Jingmei got along quite well, without any conflicts between older sisters-in-law. Although Zhao Xiaoling was almost thirty and still unmarried, the mayor and his wife had never said anything to each other.
It's really rare.
On the way back, Li Mingqing asked, "Didn't your sister-in-law go to work?"
"It's not working time yet. She starts work an hour later than us and leaves work half an hour earlier than us."
After hearing this, he sighed and said, this is the real nine to five work.
As soon as the two entered the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw Zhou Yingzi sitting with her back to the door, which was really abnormal.
After all, it was colleague Zhao Xiaoling who went over and asked with concern: "Yingzi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. I'm fine."
She kept her head down while speaking, and she almost looked up at the sky when she spoke. There was definitely something wrong with her.
When Zhao Xiaoling got closer and took a look, she was shocked.
The bruises on her face were shocking, and it was obvious that the person who beat her had hit her hard.
After all, it was someone else's business, and the person involved didn't want to say more. Zhao Xiaoling was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Zhou Yingzi sat there and cried.
"Sister Zhao, what do you think I should do?"
"Stop crying! What if people who come here to buy things see you?"
At this time, Zhou Yingzi was completely unwilling to listen to any advice, and the entire supply and marketing cooperative was surrounded by her crying.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep crying like this, you might lose your job if someone complains."
After hearing this, she stopped crying and wiped her tears quietly.
"Sister Zhao, Zhou Ming hit me."
Zhao Xiaoling was not surprised at all when she heard this. His habit of hitting people was completely inherited and formed through subtle influence.
His father Zhou Liping would beat Zhou Mingniang whenever he had a little drink. This had been going on for more than ten years, and there were few days of peace throughout the year.
"Ah, what can I say about you? You have to be careful when dating."
"Zhou Ming asked me to steal cigarettes from the supply and marketing cooperative, and I was really scared."
Wow! Li Mingqing, who was listening nearby, exclaimed, "Wow!"
This is either losing your job or going to the police station.
He had just counted the goods and the quantity matched exactly. It seemed that Zhou Yingzi could still be saved and would not go down the wrong path.
"Don't do anything."
"Sister Zhao, I'm scared. What if he comes to see me again?"
Yesterday, when Zhou Ming asked her to steal cigarettes from the supply and marketing cooperative, she proposed to break up, but was held down and beaten. He threatened that if she dared to tell anyone, he would go to her house to find her.
"This isn't something that can be solved just by being afraid. Do you want to break up with him?" Li Mingqing asked.
She nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I want to break up but I can't."
"The stupid ones are afraid of the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones are afraid of the desperate ones. You have to stand up for yourself. Even if you are afraid, you have to pretend not to be afraid. If he threatens you, you should threaten him back. Go to the police station or report him to the commune. He will definitely not dare to come to you again."
These days, the deterrent power of the police station and the commune is extremely great, and it is more effective than beating him up directly.
"But I'm afraid."
"If you continue to be so timid, he will only become more aggressive. If you want to lose your job, you don't have to listen."
After Li Mingqing finished speaking, he sat aside and said nothing more.
Zhao Xiaoling said, "Yingzi, Comrade Li is right. If you don't resist, he'll know you're scared and will definitely do something even more extreme."
Zhou Yingzi sat there in a daze, thinking about what she had just heard. Now that she had calmed down, she was not so afraid of Zhou Ming anymore.
He said that he could completely ignore the fact that he was causing trouble for his family.
The Zhou family is notoriously unscrupulous in the village. If they knew that Zhou Ming wanted to make Zhou Yingzi lose his job, they would definitely not let Zhou Ming go.
The whole family depends on Zhou Yingzi's salary to survive.
Thinking of this, she became completely sober. "Thank you, I know what to do now."
At noon, Li Mingqing saw Zhou Ming walking in in a nonchalant manner.
"Oh, Yingzi, what happened to your face? I feel so bad for you."
Zhou Yingzi walked out of the counter and followed him away.
Ten minutes later she came back and breathed a sigh of relief, the method really worked.
When Zhou Ming was about to take action, she warned him frankly that if he dared to do so, she would sue him, and then his father's job as a projectionist in town would have to be taken by someone else.
When he heard that it would affect his father's work, he immediately stopped.
Zhou Yingzi finally escaped from his hands. She thought to herself that she must find a rich partner in the future. She couldn't agree to date someone just because he was from the city, as he might be poor.
Zhao Xiaoling and Li Mingqing didn't know what she was thinking. If they knew, they would be speechless.
It turns out that a person's nature is difficult to change.
In the afternoon, Sister Zhao gave Xiaomai's money to Li Mingqing, along with a small bag of White Rabbit milk candy.
"This candy is for my sister-in-law, you must accept it."
Li Mingqing accepted it without hesitation, "Let me say thank you on behalf of my wife."
"I've seen that the wheat is plump when I got home. Once it's ground into fine flour, it's just right for making dumplings. Come to my house and eat dumplings then."
"The flour I grind out from this wheat is strong, and the dumplings made from it won't break even when boiled."
He still has this confidence.
The flour made from wheat grown in space is much better than ordinary flour.
