Chapter 30: Trying your luck in the mountains and encountering gangsters
Wu Yanping worried a lot about her youngest son.
Zhao Shuwen had been in poor health since childhood. He was shy when talking to people and was as timid as a girl. His temper improved as he grew up, but about today's incident, Wu Yanping began to hesitate again.
I originally thought that my son could handle his own life affairs, but now he is so aggrieved.
Seeing that her son will be 22 years old after the Chinese New Year, it will be too late if she doesn't help with the arrangements.
It seems that she needs to find someone to help her son find girls. Maybe after seeing more girls, she will forget the previous ones.
Don't be fooled by Zhao Shuwen's easy-going and gentle appearance. He has a very stubborn temper. If he gets stuck in it, he will do something stupid.
Wu Yanping returned home and told her husband about this.
Wang Rulan returned to the educated youth point after registering her work points in the warehouse. She had no idea what had happened. She was just surprised that Zhao Shuwen left so early today, a rare occasion for him to leave early.
But she didn't think too much about it. The matter between Yang Jingfeng and Liu Qing was what really bothered her.
I picked a few interesting dog tails from the roadside.
Lin Yiyi took it back and put it in the vase she bought from the scrap yard. It looked pretty good. No one knew what dynasty the vase was from, but it was light and thin, and the color was the same as the sky.
If it weren't covered in cracks, it would probably sell for a lot of money today.
She was the only one at home and was tired of eating the same meals every day. She found some tongue biscuits for lunch, but after a few bites she felt it was too dry and started craving for meat.
She boils cabbage and radishes in watery soup every day. On the surface, she looks like a human being, but in fact, she lives a life similar to that of rabbits, chickens, and ducks. No, chickens and ducks even eat insects every day, which shows their carnivorous nature.
She used to love meat.
Now she eats vegetarian meals every day, and she doesn’t know if it’s her illusion, but her waist and legs seem to have become thinner.
Lin Yiyi feels that she is a vegetarian nun who practices Buddhism with her hair uncut.
She doesn't have any other big pursuits now, her mind is just full of greed.
I want to eat everything. It turns out that time travel is quite beneficial. It can cure laziness, picky eating, and poverty.
The only things in the house that have anything to do with meat are the three chickens in the chicken coop.
She really wanted to kill a hen and stew it for soup, but she knew it was just wishful thinking. She would be scolded for eating an egg. If she killed the chicken, Zhao's mother would probably kill her.
The brown sugar eggs on the wedding day were especially sweet.
Lin Yiyi smacked her lips, thinking about modern delicacies, pretending that what she was gnawing on was not ox tongue biscuits but chicken legs, spare ribs or braised pork.
It is true that the more difficult people’s living environment is, and the more difficult it is to get food and clothing, the less they will think about pursuing big ambitions.
I went to the backyard and brought in the lace curtains that had been washed and dried earlier, and hung them on the two windows.
Not to mention adding some soft furnishings, the whole feeling of the house changes instantly.
It is no longer cold and empty, but has a more gentle and lively feel.
Thinking that she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Yiyi decided to go out to the mountains to try her luck.
In the winter, the bare tops of the mountains in the north are covered with snow. Lin Yiyi was not familiar with the conditions in the mountains, so he did not dare to go deep into the mountains. He just wandered around the outer circle of the foot of the mountain. After walking for a long time, he found nothing except dead branches.
She is so stupid.
There must be nothing left in the mountains at this season. The season for wild vegetables and mushrooms has passed. The mountain roads are difficult to walk on. She was so tired that she was panting and her cheeks were flushed.
Her physical fitness is simply useless. If there really is a pheasant or a rabbit, she won't be able to catch it even if she tries her best.
Just when she was about to go back disappointed, Lin Yiyi saw the thorny balls under the tree in front of her. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over and stepped on a few of them, cracking them open. They were chestnuts.
Looking at the burr ball on the ground was a pleasant surprise. I had thought it was a waste of time and I could only pick up some firewood sticks to take home.
She was even happier than when she didn’t fail the exam.
This was the first time since the 1970s that she had found something to fill her stomach on her own, entirely on her own.
Fried chestnuts, chestnut pork ribs soup, chestnut roast chicken... The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Thinking about how delicious it would be, Lin Yiyi became more agile than ever before, and in a short while she had picked up several kilograms of food.
This trip was not in vain.
Lin Yiyi carried the backpack on her back and walked back down the mountain.
Zhao Dalaizi, a notoriously lazy man in Zhaojiatun, returned to the village.
Apart from his pair of green eyes which were lewd, the man looked pretty good otherwise. He was tall and thin, and wore an old jacket with frayed edges. He did not go to work every day. He was 25 or 26 years old, and spent his days doing nothing.
He either steals chickens and dogs or wanders around the river at night with widows. If his ancestors were not locals who have taken root here and all the relatives are relatives, this kind of second-rate guy would have been sent to a farm for reform long ago.
Zhao Dalaizi had been playing cards and gambling in the town for the past few days. He only thought of coming back after he had lost all his money. Just as he was about to reach the door of his house, he saw Lin Zhiqing walking towards him with a backpack on his back.
Zhao Dalaizi's eyes swept over her.
Lin the educated youth has been with them for more than half a year. The other female educated youth have all turned into red date cakes after being tanned, but she is still as fair, tender and fresh as ever.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but after not being in the village for a few days, this educated youth seemed to be more beautiful and attractive than before. The way she walked and the way her big butt twisted made him envious. She was even more attractive than the widow Liu at the end of the village.
Zhao Dalaizi was so itchy that he wanted to hug her and roll her in the haystack right there and then.
When the village chief Zhao Tieniu arrived, he saw Zhao Dalaizi staring at his niece Lin Yiyi with ill intentions, and his face darkened instantly: "Zhao Dalaizi, where have you been hanging out for so many days?
You don't go to work and you don't see anyone. Do you still want to get food at the end of the year? Go back to work now."
Zhao Dalaizi originally wanted to take advantage of Lin Zhiqing being alone and flirt with him verbally, but when he saw Zhao Tieniu rushing towards him like a black devil, he felt a little bored and immediately gave up the idea.
This old guy is used to putting on airs and bullying others by taking advantage of his power.
He's just a village chief, but he's more arrogant than those officials in the town. He bullies the common people every day, either scolding or yelling at them.
If it weren't for his special status, he would have been pinned to the ground and beaten.
Even if he is unhappy, he cannot show it on his face directly and has to put on a smile.
"I have been visiting relatives for a few days and have missed a few days of work. If you have something to do, I will not waste your time. I will go back now."
As soon as Zhao Dalaizi finished speaking, he strode into the yard. He didn't care how Zhao Tieniu scolded him outside. He was used to it anyway, and it didn't matter if he lost a piece of meat, so he just treated it as if he was spitting shit.
As soon as he entered the house, he rummaged through the drawers and cupboards looking for food, and after filling his stomach, he lay down on the big kang. If he cared about this little infamy, how could he justify his title of Zhao Dalaizi?
I thought that Zhao Dalaizi was just a sex-crazed man who often molested young wives and girls in the village.
As an uncle, Zhao Tieniu didn't want to instruct his niece's wife directly, so he went home and told his wife Huang Juhua about the matter and asked her to say hello to his brother's wife.
As a mother-in-law, it is definitely easier for her to talk to him than for a grown man.
