Chapter 16: Ugly People Have Beautiful Dreams
When Zheng Chenlong shouted, Shen Anan was following Wang Sufen and listening to the aunts gossiping. In this era without mobile phones and computers, listening to gossip is now Shen Anan's favorite entertainment.
Turning around, she saw Duan Hongzhe and his group. Shen Anan looked up and down at the original owner's husband in her previous life and shook her head in disappointment.
Just this is still worthy of Wang Paner's snatching, which is really narrow-minded.
Duan Hongzhe has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, which is a more popular appearance in this era, but it is really not what Shen Anan likes.
Especially his thin physique, which hit Miss Shen's sore spot.
A man's abdominal and pectoral muscles are the best dowry, and it is obvious that Duan Hongzhe has nothing.
And in Shen Anan's memory, Duan Hongzhe is a complete and sophisticated egoist.
In his previous life, he was with the original owner in order to take advantage of the Shen family's return to the city. After he became rich, for the sake of reputation, he always maintained the illusion of harmony between husband and wife to the outside world. In fact, he secretly supported more than one female students and secretaries.
Standing at the front of the meat distribution area was Wang Paner's mother, Wang Pozi. When she was queuing just now, she was thinking that her son would be able to eat meat tomorrow, and her heart was very excited.
Unexpectedly, when it was her turn and she hadn't even gotten the meat yet, she heard these newly arrived outsiders trying to snatch the meat from her!
If this was divided among them, my family would get less, which immediately aroused Wang Po's anger, and she immediately put her hands on her hips and started cursing.
"You bastards who came from nowhere, what right do you have to snatch meat from me?"
"Didn't your parents teach you not to think about other people's things? It's beautiful even if you are ugly!"
"You...how can you say that!"
Zhang Wan had never been pointed at and scolded like this before. Her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing that they dared to talk back, Mrs. Wang became even more excited, "Why can't I say something to you? You guys can even steal my meat, are you still afraid of what others say?"
"Oh, oh, oh, you're still blushing. I thought that someone who came here to cheat for meat would have to be as shameless as a city wall."
"Okay! Stop talking!" Shen Yuanxing yelled with a dark face. Looking at the villagers and educated youth confronting each other, he felt a headache.
This group of educated youth are really good at causing trouble. Why can't they talk it out nicely?
After all, they are students who come to help build the countryside. If we talk to them nicely, even if it's just giving a little to each of the village committee members, we must not treat them unfairly.
If we have to distribute the meat to them again after this, the villagers will definitely make a fuss.
I was just thinking of discussing with the villagers about taking in these educated youth for a few days, but now it seems that is not possible.
"This wild boar was hunted by our own villagers in the mountains. It is the collective property of the team. When we were deciding how to divide the pork, you were not here yet. Now the quota for each family has been determined, so we really can't divide it."
"When you officially join our team, if there is any pork distribution later, you will definitely not be left out."
"As for you, Mrs. Wang, no one said that your family would be left without any. Why are you making such a fuss? Divide the meat quickly and go home to rest. You will not be able to go to work tomorrow."
Mrs. Wang pouted and muttered something. She was about to go back with the divided pork when she suddenly saw Wang Paner standing next to the educated youth.
He felt as if all the anger in his body had found a vent, and he went up and twisted Wang Paner's arm hard.
"You silly girl, where have you been slacking off again? If I rely on you to get some meat, I'm afraid your brother will starve to death at home!"
"Were you mute just now? You watched others bully me without saying a word. Come home with me!"
Wang Pan'er's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. When she saw the looks from Duan Hongzhe and the others, she suddenly became repulsed and cursed Mrs. Wang countless times in her heart.
All the impression points she had just gained were gone. Fearing that Mrs. Wang would say something inappropriate again, she followed Mrs. Wang to the Wang family.
She could only explain it to them later. It turned out that the Wang family would always hold her back.
Seeing that the people who were singing opera had left, Shen Anan withdrew her gaze and continued to listen to the gossip of the aunts.
…
…
After returning home, Wang Sufen lit the kerosene lamp and started processing the wild boar meat with her daughters-in-law.
Shen Anan advised them to talk about it tomorrow morning, but the three excited people refused in unison. Shen Anan could only shrug and go wash up first.
Shen Yuanxing didn't return home until Shen Anan was about to go back to her room to sleep.
"Why did you come back just now! There's rice in the pot, come and eat something!" Li Cui'er complained as she went to the kitchen to bring the food.
When Shen Anan came home to call people today, the Shen family was still cooking. Because they were worried that something might happen to Old Man Shen alone in the mountains, everyone went to work on the wild boar without eating.
The family just had a hot meal when they got back, but they didn’t expect that Shen Yuanxing was so busy that he only came back now.
Shen Yuanxing was also very hungry. He ate two steamed buns in a row before he had time to talk.
"It's all because of those educated youth. After the commotion just now, even though we can't find villagers to house them, we should at least find them a place to sleep."
"There was no other way. Accountant Hu and I could only temporarily place them in the brigade office. In order to have a place to sleep, we moved some straw to spread on the ground, which is why we came back late."
"They live in the brigade headquarters, which makes it inconvenient for you to do anything during the day, and there's no place to eat."
"Ah, there's nothing we can do about it. Just make do with it for a few days. I'll take some people to clean up the house tomorrow."
Shen Yuanxing really didn't have any good impression of this group of educated youth who were looking for trouble as soon as they arrived. If it were possible to return the goods, he would have wanted to go to the town to exchange them for a few more manageable ones.
I had been thinking that it had not been easy for these educated youth to come here, so I let them rest for a few days before working again. But now seeing how noisy they are, I decided to start working in the fields tomorrow. If they work more, they won't have the energy to cause trouble.
…
…
On the other side, in the brigade office.
Duan Hongzhe lay on the straw used to tie his meat together, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Zhang Wan's intermittent sobbing sounds coming from the side made people feel irritated.
Even though he had done a lot of mental preparation on the road, when he really arrived in Wanyang Village, the hardships here were still far beyond his imagination.
They were supposed to live separately from Zhang Wan and Cao Yin, but the village committee only had one office, so they could only make do with two desks to separate them.
"Can you please stop crying? Can't I sleep? It's so annoying!" Zheng Chenlong shouted with a dark face.
Zhang Wan was furious when she heard this. "How dare you say that? It's you who offended the whole village as soon as you arrived. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left us here!"
Zheng Chenlong actually felt a little regretful. He just wanted to show off in front of his sweetheart, but he didn't expect the situation to become so bad. However, he refused to suffer any loss.
"I am doing this for everyone. If I get the meat, won't you eat it?"
"Okay, go to bed quickly and talk less!" Cao Yin advised weakly. It was only the first day and she had already offended the entire village. She didn't dare to think about the days to come.
But they still had to calm everyone down. After all, the five of them were now one, and if anything happened to one of them, it would affect the others. Cao Yin felt that this day was more tiring than her previous 21 years.
As the night deepened, people gradually fell asleep, and the brigade office finally became quiet...
