"How did we get to the pigsty? Did we dream about it? That's impossible, how could both of us be dreaming? Could it be something like that?"
"There are so many of those things in the countryside. What if we get tainted by something unclean?" He Hua said fearfully.
"Don't talk nonsense. Chairman Mao said that kind of thing is feudal superstition and we must eliminate all feudal superstition. Don't say it again, or it will be troublesome if someone hears it," Chen Gang warned He Hua.
"So there's nothing we can do after being harmed like this?" He Hua said angrily.
"There's nothing we can do, we just had bad luck," Chen Gang said gloomily.
Before the brigade leader arrived, everyone was discussing Chen Gang and He Hua's matter from that morning on the threshing ground, talking enthusiastically.
Even the educated youth who came to work knew about it, and they were all very surprised that Chen Gang and He Hua had made such a big joke in just one morning.
In particular, Ma Dazui vividly and thoroughly described what happened to Chen Gang and He Hua that morning.
Everyone liked to gather around her and listen to her talk, and the audience would burst into laughter from time to time.
When the brigade leader arrived, they were still having a lively discussion. The most controversial issue was why Chen Gang and He Hua were sleeping in the pigsty.
Unfortunately, even long after the incident, neither Chen Gang nor He Hua knew how they got to the pigsty. So, in the end, the matter became an unsolved mystery in the village.
"Quiet down, quiet down, let's get to work. Stop talking. All squad leaders, please count your numbers. The leaders of the educated youth settlements, please count your numbers as well," the brigade leader said loudly.
"Captain, Chen Gang and He Hua from the educated youth settlement haven't come. I heard from the villagers that they probably need to ask for leave," Zhou Dajun said.
"Oh, why are they taking leave?" the captain asked curiously.
“Captain, let me speak first,” Ma Dazui said first.
Then, she vividly and in detail recounted what had happened between Chen Gang and He Hua that morning.
Everyone burst into laughter again, and even the captain couldn't help but laugh.
He quickly brought the situation under control, "Alright, alright, since there's nothing wrong, then take the leave. Let's get back to work."
Today we're fertilizing and spraying pesticides in the rice paddies, so let's hurry and get going.
After the captain finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Chen Gang and He Hua became the laughing stock of the village. Even after a long time, their antics still brought a lot of joy to everyone's dull lives.
Meanwhile, Su Tian, who caused this incident, was diligently and conscientiously teaching at school.
