Chen Dong lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't recover. His lower body was numb from the pain, but he couldn't feel anything when he rubbed it with his hands. He was very panicked, wondering if he would really become inhumane in the future!
He hated it! Xing Yifei was just relying on him being a city dweller, so he dared to do whatever he wanted. If he couldn't be humane, how would he carry on the family line in the future? Since Xing Yifei wouldn't let him have an easy life, he wouldn't let him have an easy life either!
He covered the injured area and forced himself to sit up and lean against the tree trunk. After a while, he saw a stick lying on the ground and reached towards him. He slowly stood up along the stick, and his legs seemed to have lost all feeling.
He took two slow steps, his steps unsteady as if he was walking on cotton, and he fell to the side without support. He angrily pounded the fallen bamboo leaves with his hands. Why did he have to be treated like this? It was all because of that woman Tian Xiaolan. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been in jail. Now she is harming him. She is a jinx!
Tian Xiaolan walked to the top of the mountain, where the pigpen was. The pigs inside were so hungry that they had their front legs resting on the wall to see if anyone was coming to feed them. They were squealing with their long mouths, which made Tian Xiaolan annoyed.
I found matches on the stove, slowly scooped cold water from the jar into the pot, added firewood to light the fire, and found bran in the corner, scooped two melon ladles into the basin, and put in some slaughtered grass. I waited for the cold water to heat up and then scooped it in to feed the pigs.
Tian Xiaolan carefully carried a full basin of pig food and walked to the pigpen. She saw the pigs coming over impatiently, grunting and pushing their heads away with a broom. How could she pour the food out? When the pigs realized that they were not going away, Tian Xiaolan stopped pouring the food and made way for them. Then she poured all the pig food into the trough.
The pig used its nose to push the feed, opened and closed its mouth, chewing quickly, making a "crunching" sound, and ate with relish.
"Eat slowly and gain more meat." Tian Xiaolan watched the pig eating with big mouthfuls. She was happy to see it eating happily. The more meat it gained, the more meat their village could get to eat during the New Year.
After washing the pot and bolting the door, she went down the mountain. She didn't meet Chen Dong on the way, probably because he was dealt with by Xing Yifei and the others. The way down the mountain was less tiring than going up the mountain. Tian Xiaolan kept rushing down the mountain because she had to eat in a hurry.
When she arrived, she heard their laughter and joy. The meal had already started, so she walked over to see what the dishes were.
Li Weimin ran over and handed her the food: "Here! I made it for you!"
We had sweet potato porridge for dinner again. There were only a few grains of rice in the porridge. How could those people fill their stomachs after working all day? Hey, when I came back yesterday, I saw that the mushrooms planted at home had sprouted some branches. I can use them to make mushroom soup, which will last for a while.
Even so, it cannot solve the essence of the problem. The root lies in the distribution of the village chief. The food he cooks is not enough for even the women to eat, let alone the men. I am afraid that they will be starving before they can work for a while.
Many people were so hungry that they ate a few mouthfuls and asked, "Is there any more? This little bit is not enough to fill me up!"
The rice paste on the edge of the pot had been scraped clean from the basin, making it look like nothing had ever been in it. The woman who cooked put down her bowl and said to him, "Then go talk to the village chief. He gave us that much. If we take it all, you'll be in trouble!"
The man rushed over with a fierce look on his face and started to search the kitchen. "It's okay for lunch today, but you made so little tonight. You don't want us to have an easy time, right?"
"If you want to make trouble, go find the village chief. There's no point in coming here to cause trouble!" The woman was not afraid of him. She didn't believe that he would dare to cause trouble in front of so many people.
Lei Zhong took his hand and advised, "Don't worry, I'll go find out what the situation is and tell you. I'll definitely give you a result tomorrow. We must make sure everyone is well fed!"
"The captain has spoken, and you, a piece of shit, are still causing trouble!"
The man was forced to stop and started to complain: "Captain, you see she is not good enough, do you know how tired we are harvesting millet in the fields, and you just cook and dry the millet and you think you are the boss!"
The woman took off her apron and threw it in his face. She snorted coldly, her face full of contempt, and she obviously looked down on him. "Who told you that we have to keep turning the millet when we dry it, otherwise the millet in the ground will get moldy? And you brought back so much grass residue, and it was us who used the rake to get it out. You think you are the only one who did it? We are just playing tricks!"
"Why don't you have a fight?" Li Weimin suggested sincerely.
Fang Guihua interrupted him, "What are you talking about! Don't speak nonsense if you don't know how to speak!"
"Uncle, aunt, stop arguing. Listen to me. Everyone sees what you're doing. As the saying goes, men and women working together don't get tired. Uncle is working hard in the fields harvesting rice, and he's very capable. Aunt is so pretty, yet she's also working on the shore. In my opinion, no matter who does more or less, uncles and aunts are all great!"
She listened to the compliment happily, her lips curled up, her eyes sparkling with joy, and she was no longer angry with him. "Our Xiaolan is really good at talking. She can't even communicate with these big idiots!"
The man lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers nonchalantly: "That still depends on how many meters are left!"
They were about to fight, but they calmed down after Tian Xiaolan talked them down. She had a way. Lei Zhong was relieved to see them reconcile and said to the woman, "Go and get the rice. We are all from the same village, equivalent to one family. There is nothing to hide!"
"Who is his family? Don't talk nonsense!" Having said that, he turned around and took out a small bag of rice from behind the stove.
Lei Zhong weighed it and estimated that there were only ten pounds in it. When he opened it, he saw that there were many stones mixed in it. The warehouse was not out of rice, so why were all the bad ones being used? They got stomachaches from working, and doing this was simply unscrupulous. It would chill everyone's hearts!
Everyone waited for Lei Zhong to speak. He looked at the rice and saw that he was getting stiff. The man couldn't wait to go over and take a look. He was shocked when he saw it. He grabbed a handful of rice with stones on it and shouted, "It's all green rice with sprouts on it. How can we eat this?"
"That's right, we are not gods. We only eat grains, not stones!" Some people came over and found that this was not rice at all, but all stones and bad rice!
Hu Chunsheng was in charge of the rice distribution, and Lei Zhong did not go to see it. If the masses had not reported it today, he would have been kept in the dark.
The man couldn't swallow this breath, "No way, I have to find Hu Chunsheng to ask for an explanation! Is there anyone else who wants to go with me?"
He glanced around and found that his brother-in-law was not there. He must have taken their rice and gone home to cook for himself!
