In late autumn, the leaves on the trees gradually turn yellow and the green grass on the mountains gradually withers.
In the village, the wheat has been planted and the grain has been distributed. In the fields, there is nothing to do except harvesting the radishes and cabbages. Mu Qingfeng can study quietly.
Now, Mu Qingfeng has learned simple characters such as up, down, left, right, mouth, and hand, and can even write them from memory. Mu Qingli has to admire him, as he is indeed a good learner.
"Brother, your handwriting looks very human, not like a dog's crawling! It doesn't look like a beginner's at all. Good, keep up the good work!" Mu Qingli couldn't help but praise Mu Qingfeng as he looked at his hard work in writing.
"Brother will definitely work hard!" Mu Qingfeng had long fallen in love with studying. He wished he could study day and night. If he could finish his studies quickly, his sister would be happy.
"Mu Zhiqing! Are you there?!" Mu Qingli was teaching Mu Qingfeng to recognize new words. When she heard someone calling in the yard, she walked out.
"Wu..." Mu Qingli couldn't help but look at the person in front of her in surprise.
This is not Wu Dahua. I haven't seen her since I broke up with Chen Shengli.
"Mu Zhiqing, you can continue to call me Director Wu. I'm back to being the director of women's affairs!" Wu Dahua said with a smile.
"Do you want to live back in the village?" Mu Qingli couldn't help but ask.
Wu Dahua's home is in town, and she hasn't been to the village for a long time.
"Yes, from now on I will live in the brigade headquarters!" Wu Dahua nodded and answered readily.
Mu Qingli couldn't help but feel strange. Why did she come to see him first when she came back?
"Director Wu, please come in and sit down!" Mu Qingli suppressed her doubts and welcomed Wu Dahahua in.
"Mu Zhiqing, your courtyard is so nice!" Wu Dahua came in, glanced around, and said enviously.
"It's just a few adobe houses! Director Wu, is there anything you want to talk about? Let's talk inside!" Mu Qingli said, and let the person go into the house.
"No! Let's just chat outside!" Wu Dahua stopped and stood in the yard.
Seeing that she refused to go into the house, Mu Qingli brought out two small stools he had ordered, and the two of them sat in the yard.
"It's like this. A few days ago, my father went to a meeting in the county and heard something!" Wu Dahua said, then paused.
"What's the matter?" Mu Qingli asked politely.
"The Hong'an County Bureau went to Xishan and dug up a lot of poison gas bombs!" Wu Dahua said cautiously.
"...Poison gas, how can it be made into a landmine? Or a bomb?" Mu Qingli couldn't help but be surprised.
Is that what the old jackdaw was talking about, the thing buried under the village?
"How can there be such a thing??"
"When the Japanese invaded our Hai Nation, they conducted many insane experiments, and poison gas bombs were one of them!" Wu Dahua thought for a moment and said, "After the Japanese surrendered and withdrew, they buried those remaining ghostly things in the valley!"
"Those ghost things really hurt people!" Mu Qingli sighed.
It seems that the old jackdaw was really wronged at the beginning. It is impossible for the old jackdaw to harm people easily, otherwise, it would not be able to practice well.
The people in the village are unable to have children, or cannot keep the baby after getting pregnant. It is not caused by any evil spirits, but rather by toxic gas leaking out over a long period of time, and people have lived there for a long time, which has had a certain impact.
However, it is possible that the old jackdaw's mother suffered an unexpected disaster because the villagers misunderstood her as an ominous creature.
"Yes! This time my father heard a piece of news during the meeting that a female educated youth named Mu from the third production team of Xiangyang Brigade, Jinfeng Commune, has made great contributions and a commendation meeting will be held!" Wu Dahua said happily.
"...What commendation meeting? It can't be that serious, right?" Mu Qingli felt speechless. Wouldn't it be better to just stay put?
"Of course it's necessary. You have made great contributions in assisting the police comrades in solving the case! You are a role model for us women and deserve praise!" Wu Dahua is really first-class in doing women's work and speaks in a very coherent way.
"You have been commended, and our commune will be proud when it goes to the county. Moreover, our Xiangyang Brigade will also be honored when it goes to the town, right?" Wu Dahua said proudly.
"...Okay, Director Wu, I can't argue with you! Just give me a commendation if you want!" Mu Qingli curled her lips helplessly.
Do you want to be so serious?
"Okay! I'm taking advantage of my position to tell you this first so you can be mentally prepared. Don't be timid."
"No!" Mu Qingli said with a smile, "I'm thick-skinned, how could I be timid?"
"That's good! I'll go first!" Wu Dahua said, standing up and about to leave.
"Please sit for a while!" Mu Qingli politely asked.
"No! I have to go collect my debt!" Wu Dahua said casually.
"Debt collection? Someone in the village still owes you money?"
"That bastard Chen Shengli! His house was built with money from my mother's family. If he doesn't pay for it, I will tear off the roof for him!!" Wu Dahua said viciously.
"Awesome, my sister!!"
"Hmph! That bastard Chen Shengli let Widow Li into his house. She was already over eight months pregnant. What else doesn't he understand?" Wu Dahua gritted her teeth and hated the couple.
"I think your family is pretty good and has your back! You don't have to be afraid of anything!"
"My father is just trying to save face outside! It's a face-saving project. On the surface, he cares about us brothers and sisters, but in fact, that's all!" Wu Dahua said in a difficult to explain manner.
If her parents and brothers were really so nice, why would she need to move to the brigade headquarters?
"Ha! It's better to save face! Only then can we get by!"
"That's true. When I first got married here, I was the most popular girl in the surrounding villages!" Wu Dahua couldn't help but smile. After that, she became melancholy again, "It's just that I have never had a child. That bastard Chen Shengli... Alas!" Wu Dahua's face was full of loneliness.
