Chapter 062 Watching a Movie in a Lively Way
Early in the morning, the exploration team arrived to report the incident. Chen Wanli, the team leader, had a serious expression on his face as he addressed Lan Qingshan, "Qingshan, several of the guys on our team have lost their letters of introduction and work certificates. I think something's fishy, so I've brought them here to report the incident."
Lan Qingshan nodded and motioned Chen Wanli to continue.
Chen Wanli: "Look, the oil field is about to announce recruitment, and I'm worried that someone might steal this stuff and do something to it. Then our exploration team won't be able to explain themselves. So I didn't hesitate and came here as soon as I found out."
Lan Qingshan understood the seriousness of the situation. While he wasn't immediately clear on the purpose of the theft, he was wary of any involvement with the job exam during such a crucial recruitment period. He beckoned Zhou Zhixing over and solemnly instructed him, "Zhixing, Team Six will follow up on this case. Take statements from everyone and see if there were any unusual events surrounding the theft."
"Okay, Lan."
Jiang Nan was the first to run over to Chen Wanli, obediently unfolding his work notes and asking, "Grandpa, did you lose your work ID? Where's your letter of introduction?"
Chen Wanli tapped the little girl on the head and said, "Don't you want me to be okay? Mine isn't lost, it's these people I brought with me. I brought them here to report the crime."
"Oh." Jiang Nan covered her forehead. Really, they were hitting her head one by one. It really hurts.
Jiang Nan smiled and continued to ask, "Grandpa, when did they get lost? Was there anything unusual during those few days?"
Chen Wanli didn't take it too seriously. He recalled, "They were all lost in the past two days. Four letters of introduction and work permits were lost at once. I felt something was wrong, so I came here early."
He continued, "If there's anything unusual, it's that there have been an unusually large number of people visiting the West Riverbank these past two days. But since they're showing a movie there, it's normal for there to be so many people. We didn't think anything of it at first, but now I think there might be bad guys among them. There were also quite a few people near the exploration team's tents, so they must have been scouting the area."
"Do you remember what they looked like?"
"I don't remember." Chen Wanli shook his head. "There were too many people. I didn't pay much attention to it."
"I remember one," said a bald middle-aged man nearby. "There was a man who even asked me to borrow some water. I remember he was about the same height as this young man."
He pointed at Zhou Zhixing and said, "He looked quite honest, and there was a woman and child with him. I thought they were a family of three, so I led them into the tent and gave them some water. Now that I think about it, it must have been lost around that time."
"What time exactly?" Jiang Nan said with a serious face.
"Yesterday afternoon." The bald man thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Yes, around three o'clock yesterday afternoon. He asked me a lot of questions about the movie. I thought they wanted to join in the fun, so I chatted with them for a while. At that time, I remember accidentally looking at the clock, and the time was three twenty-five."
"What exactly do the woman and child look like? What are their characteristics?"
......
The questioning lasted all morning, and when it was almost time for lunch, Chen Wanli declined Jiang Nan's invitation, saying, "Grandpa isn't unwilling to visit your house. It's just that they're hiring soon, and I'd bring trouble to your family if I went there. I'll go after this period is over, okay?"
Jiang Nan pouted, but soon said happily, "Okay, Grandpa has to keep his word."
She added, "By the way, Grandpa, let's go to the movies together and sit in the front. We have some sunflower seeds at home, and I can bring them to you."
Chen Wanli waved his hand modestly: "Goodbye, I'm the chief engineer, I have a seat up front, the Tu family kid will definitely want to talk to me, so don't come here to attract attention."
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched. How could Secretary Tu become the Tu family kid in your mouth? Fortunately, Lan Qingshan hadn't left yet. At this time, he said, "Old Chen, why don't you go to Xiaonan's house and have lunch at the station? They still have to go to the west bank of the river for an investigation. It's just right to take your car, which will save time."
At noon, knowing that his father-in-law was in the police station, Jiang Mancheng immediately got excited and quickly made a portion of authentic sweet and sour pork and sent it to his father-in-law.
Even if we don’t have tiger bone wine, we have the skills and we absolutely cannot lose.
With an afternoon visit ahead, Jiang Nan quickly finished lunch, skipping his nap, and hurried out to catch a bus to Xihe'an. However, since Xihe'an was crowded with people asking about the movie screenings, no one paid much attention and offered any useful clues. No one knew the man the bald middle-aged man mentioned. But that made sense; the Xihe'an brigade had been quite busy lately.
What are you busy with? It's all work.
Although the oilfield promised one job quota per household, the oilfield and the brigade were still wrangling over how to define this "household." The oilfield insisted that only those who reached adulthood at 18 could be considered a household; otherwise, even if they had married and held a wedding banquet, they were not considered a household. The brigade, of course, disagreed, insisting that households could be established at 16, and that marriages were definitely considered households, so how could they be excluded? If they weren't, how would the girls survive?
This is a big deal, and it will attract more attention from the villagers than showing a movie.
Why do villagers insist on getting married at sixteen? The current school system has to do with this. Chaoyang Oilfield generally implements a 5+2+2 system, with both junior high and high school lasting two years. Starting school at seven and graduating at sixteen is quite normal. With no college entrance exams these days, those who graduate from high school but don't continue their education often end up getting married.
So the young people in the village generally get married at 16, and then live separately from their families. This must be considered one household. But some people have children early and become parents at 17. Why are they not considered one household?
Fortunately, the villagers were united, and the oilfield was merely haggling over the price. Eventually, both sides reached an agreement: married couples could be considered one household until the day the agreement was reached, but single households had to be at least 18 years old, a concession on both sides' part.
In order to get compensation for her work, even the adult Jiang Gui got engaged in advance. With double insurance, she was able to keep her job.
There was progress in the work compensation, but there was no clue in the case until the day the movie was shown.
But it's often like this. Solving a case is never that simple. Lan Qingshan saw that the people in Group 6 were feeling a little down, so he comforted the four of them, "Okay, that's how investigations are. It's never that easy. You know, the bureau still has many cases from before the liberation that haven't been solved yet. Don't worry, just cheer up. It's only been three days since the report was made, so don't worry. There's a movie at the oil field tomorrow, so everyone go and relax. Try to be in a good mood next week. Maybe you'll solve the case when you come back."
Zhou Zhixing nodded and agreed, "I understand, Chief Lan. You should remember to go too. I heard there will be two shows this time."
"Ah, the art troupe is not coming?" Wen Qiang screamed.
"They're not coming. I heard the art troupe is going to the provincial capital for a performance and they don't have time, so the operations department leader thought of having two shows in a row to make everyone happy." Jiang Nan explained.
Wen Qiang: "Hey, no, Xiaonan, how do you know so much?"
Jiang Nan smiled proudly: "Brother Qiangzi, the grandpa and grandma downstairs in the family compound are always the most informed. You have to make friends with them. But I have the advantage, so it doesn't matter if you are almost there."
Wen Qiang: "Look how proud you are of yourself. What advantages do you have that I don't have?"
Jiang Nan's smile grew even brighter: "I'm likable."
A few people were joking around. It was already time to get off work, so everyone quickly packed up and rode their bikes away one by one.
Zhou Zhixing followed Jiang Nan as usual and asked, "Do you have any more sunflower seeds? I don't have many left. How can we watch a movie without sunflower seeds?"
Jiang Nan squinted his eyes and said, "You seem quite knowledgeable. Well, I don't have anything, just wait and eat."
Zhou Zhixing whistled proudly and said, "You're going back home tonight? Isn't that a little early? Let's go together tomorrow."
Jiang Nan: "There will definitely be a lot of people on the road tomorrow. Let's go back today and grab a spot for you tomorrow. Just go find us up ahead."
"Okay then." Zhou Zhixing shrugged. It wasn't that he wasn't thick-skinned, it was that he was the strongest of the Zhou family. His uncle and aunt were both scholars and lacked strength, so he would have to ride his bike with Old Lady Cao tomorrow.
The Jiang family's three members arrived so early, not because Jiang Nan was uninformed, but because Jiang Mancheng loved watching movies. As someone who traveled through time and space, Jiang Mancheng's mouth opened wide when he first saw a movie, and at fourteen or fifteen, he even dreamed of becoming a movie star. However, reality proves that dreams are meant to be abandoned. At sixteen, Jiang Mancheng met Chen Wanli, who was on a prospecting trip to the city, and married Chen Jinhua that same year without a moment's hesitation.
The original book's timeline was a bit confusing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xinjiang province was the first place to explore for oil, but the Chaoyang Oilfield is more likely located in the Northeast. But since it was fiction, Jiang Nan didn't dwell on it too much. After all, something as outrageous as time travel had already happened, so what was impossible?
The two of them quickly arrived at the family compound. Since they'd been busy with cases for the past few days, it was already dinnertime when they arrived. Jiang Mancheng had made roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), and Chen Jinhua was so pleased with her future son-in-law, Zhou Zhixing, that she sent him three, causing Jiang Mancheng to grumble in dissatisfaction for half an hour.
After eating, the three of them packed up and quickly rode their bikes to the west bank of the river. It's worth mentioning that even though they arrived early, they still ran into quite a few people along the way. They all had beaming faces, and it was obvious they were planning to stay with relatives early so they could get a spot tomorrow.
When we arrived at the Jiang family compound, it was almost nine o'clock. The whole team was dark, but there were still chattering sounds from time to time. Most of the villagers were still awake and discussing tomorrow's activities.
Jiang Huai heard the noise and ran out with his clothes on: "Uncle, aunt, sister, why did you come so late?"
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it has become a bit cool at night, and you will catch a cold if you don’t put on more clothes.
Jiang Mancheng: "Your sister Xiaonan has been busy these past two days and got off work late today, so she came a little late. Is your high school on vacation?"
Jiang Huai: "Yes, the teachers at school also want to come and watch the movie, so they gave us a holiday."
Jiang Tong was also wearing a coat. When she saw Jiang Nan, she jumped up and took her arm. "Sister, you're back. Can we sleep together tonight?"
"Okay." As the only two girls in the family, Jiang Nan and Jiang Tong had a pretty good relationship. She joked, "What's going on? Are you so excited about hiring that you can't sleep?"
Jiang Tong nodded vigorously: "Sister, are you talking about the restrictions on household registration when recruiting? I have a rural household registration, and I don't know if it will work?"
Jiang Nan comforted him, "Of course it will work. You'll be working right here on the west bank of the river, so you'll definitely have to take care of the local people. Don't worry, study hard these few days and try to get an office position."
Jiang Tong said happily: "It's enough for me to take the examination to become a worker. My third brother and I haven't graduated from high school yet. We only have junior high school diplomas. To be safe, we'd better not take the examination to become an office worker."
"Then consult yourselves."
Jiang Mantang, the eldest of the Jiang family, was wearing a coat and cheerfully tossed the keys to Jiang Mancheng. "Alright, Xiaohuai and Xiaotong, go to bed now. Your uncle and the others have been riding for so long and must be tired. Stop nagging me so late at night."
Jiang Huai and Jiang Tong stuck out their tongues. Jiang Tong pulled Jiang Nan and whispered, "Come on, Xiaonan, let's go to my room."
"Uncle," Jiang Nan called out obediently, carrying her bag and following Jiang Tong into the house. She was also tired, so after washing up, she quickly fell asleep while the little girl muttered about her worries about hiring workers.
Early in the morning, the entire West Riverbank Brigade was filled with a bustling atmosphere. Jiang Song even wolfed down his breakfast, finishing it in a few bites before scurrying out. He simply wanted to reserve a seat.
This made Jiang Mantang laugh and scold: "You little bastard, you're so anxious. You can't even eat your meal properly."
"Alright." Du Hehua wiped her mouth and stood up, saying, "I'm done too. Wenjuan, Honghua, let's go grab a seat. Mancheng, Jinhua, you guys wash the dishes this time."
"Oh," Jiang Mancheng groaned internally. He'd gotten up early and arrived late, only to find his mother asking him to wash the dishes. He'd come in a hurry and hadn't brought any pastries. Du Hehua was afraid her eldest and second sisters-in-law might be upset, so she asked him to wash the dishes to cover their meal expenses.
"Okay, Mom and the others are gone. They'll definitely save a seat for us. Stop looking so sad." Chen Jinhua finished her last mouthful of porridge and said, "Alright, I'll wash it."
"Together, it'll be faster if we wash together."
There is strength in numbers. The three of them hurriedly washed the dishes and soon arrived at the brigade's drying yard.
The drying yard was already packed with people. Many strangers were milling about on the periphery, clearly looking for a chance to squeeze in. Seeing this, Jiang Mancheng knew the chances of getting in were slim, so he hurriedly pulled the mother and daughter along, saying, "Come on, let's find somewhere else."
Jiang Nan was helpless. Everywhere else was packed with people, too. She looked around. People were standing on tree branches, on bean stalks, on haystacks, even on the distant rooftops. But since it was too far away, three or five people jumped down one after another, probably deciding to come to the drying yard.
Jiang Mancheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's see which tree has fewer people. If that doesn't work, we can get a ladder from home. We can put the ladder on the tree trunk and try it out."
Chen Jinhua nodded: "You still have a lot of ideas."
Jiang Mancheng held his head high, a look of pride. The three of them walked around the drying yard, picked up Zhou Zhixing, who had arrived earlier, and went home to get the ladder. This drying yard was nothing but people, with no room to even step foot.
The four of them also saw Wang Zilii and Wang Gengsheng. The two silly boys were holding their heads high and chests puffed out, not even walking properly, but marching in step.
Jiang Nan stopped them and asked curiously, "Why aren't you two looking for a seat?"
"Hehe." Wang Zili scratched his head. "We're on patrol. You see, there aren't many police officers sent by the General Administration to patrol, but there are so many people watching the movie. Maybe there are bad guys among them. If we help, we can definitely catch a bad guy and make another contribution."
"Right," Wang Gengsheng agreed. "Maybe there are kidnappers. They say where there are a lot of people there are also a lot of kidnappers. We might be able to catch him."
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched. Kidnapping was really rare these days. After all, you needed a letter of introduction to go anywhere, and without family planning, every household had enough children, so buying children wasn't common. It had to be said that these two were overthinking things.
But let them go, she warned: "Don't start a fight rashly. Many people in the village know each other. You two are outnumbered. If you act impulsively, you will get beaten."
"I know, Sister Xiaonan, don't worry. Eldest sister has already told us, and we know our limits."
Wang Zilii and Wang Gengsheng patted their chests loudly, their faces lit up with excitement.
Zhou Zhixing didn't say anything else, but just raised his hand and pointed at the two of them in the air.
The four of them continued walking towards the foot of the mountain. Jiang Nan asked Zhou Zhixing, "Have Grandma Cao and the others found their location?"
Zhou Zhixing: "We got up at 4 a.m. and rode here before 6 a.m. There weren't so many people there when we got here. My grandma, uncle and the others were ahead of us. I couldn't find you, so I squeezed out."
Jiang Mancheng sighed: "Hey, who made us have to wash the dishes before coming here?"
As the four of them were talking, they just reached the bridge when they saw what looked like figures in the Jiang family's courtyard. Jiang Mancheng shushed them, and they quickly quieted down. They quietly approached the Jiang family's courtyard. Jiang Mancheng poked his head out and whispered, "It's the three Wei brothers."
Who are the three brothers of the Wei family?
They were the ones who came to Du Hehua's house on her birthday and wanted the jewelry in her hand, but were broken into by Jiang Mancheng and his two companions in the middle of the night, and also harassed the three brothers and instigated internal fighting among them.
The Wei brothers' mother, Lamei, worked as a servant for a wealthy capitalist in the provincial capital, along with Du Hehua. Before her death, Lamei shared some of the jewelry she had hidden with the three brothers. The three brothers, greedy as they were, even tried to seize what Du Hehua had. Jiang Mancheng, of course, had to teach them a lesson.
I just didn't expect that the three brothers would put aside their past grudges and come to the Jiang family to steal things again. This is because they see that there is no one at home to steal from.
Jiang Mancheng snorted coldly and whispered to the others, "We need to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, we're not afraid of thieves stealing, but we're afraid of thieves thinking about it. If we don't let them be afraid, how are you going to live with them in the future?"
Jiang Nan nodded, knowing her father was right. She asked, "Arrest them and send them to the police station?"
Jiang Mancheng shook his head. "No, this is on the west bank of the river. The village won't agree. The Wei family also has other relatives. Aunt Lamei married a villager. You can tell by looking at her house. The location is much better than ours."
He scratched his chin and smirked, "We've got to make them lose face. At least they won't dare to act like this again for a while!"
Jiang Mancheng looked at the three Wei brothers lying on the ground, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly towards the sky with an extremely wild smile.
With such little ability, you dare to come to the Jiang family and act wildly! He didn't even ask. His family members Jinhua, Xiaonan, and even that rascal are all kung fu. They threw small stones and hit them so hard that they couldn't see who was hitting them and fainted on the spot.
Chen Jinhua: "Okay, Mancheng, stop laughing. What are we going to do next?"
Jiang Nan teased, "Dad, you laugh like a bad guy."
Jiang Mancheng glared, "Dad is so happy. Okay, now it's time for the villagers to witness the miracle. Let's go, each of us drag one, and take a detour to the brigade's public toilet."
Jiang Nan suddenly had a bad feeling and asked, "Dad, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, let the three of them take a nap in the pit."
Uh, Jiang Nan suppressed the nausea rising in her chest and said, "Dad, it's not cold yet. How about we try something else? Your idea sounds disgusting."
Jiang Mancheng insisted, "That's why I do this. Think about how many people are coming to see the movie today, and how many of them will go to the public restroom. If everyone finds the three Wei brothers sleeping in the restroom, how embarrassed will their family be!"
He smiled even more smugly. "By then, the news will probably spread throughout the entire operation department. Even Chaoyang Oilfield headquarters will have heard of their names. I'm also doing a good deed for them. They'll have to thank me. Otherwise, with tens of thousands of people in the operation department, who would know who they are? Okay, enough nonsense, let's go."
Jiang Nan, helpless, exchanged a glance with Zhou Zhixing and Chen Jinhua before dragging the three Wei brothers toward the brigade's public restroom. Luckily, the villagers were focused on the movie, so they didn't encounter many people along the way. However, the path the four of them took was usually sparsely populated.
After a few huffs and puffs, they finally arrived and breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that the public restroom was empty, Chen Jinhua took the initiative to lift the stone slab behind the toilet, pinched her nose and stepped back, asking, "Who's going to do it?"
Jiang Nan jumped three feet away and was determined not to do this job.
Jiang Mancheng squinted his eyes: "Zhou family kid, huh?"
Zhou Zhixing was helpless: "Okay, I'll do it." It was because he had the lowest status in the family, so it was hard.
Zhou Zhixing took a deep breath, dragged Wei Youwei up, and carefully lowered him into the pit. Even more cautiously than putting something into a pot of boiling oil, he was afraid of splashing anything. After putting the three brothers in one by one, Zhou Zhixing's face flushed red. Well, it was from holding his breath.
Fortunately, the brigade's public toilet wasn't often used. Villagers used it at home, after all, for composting. Only a few village officials used the brigade's public toilet during their workdays. Therefore, the pit wasn't deep. Even if the three brothers sat side by side, it barely reached their chests, hardly enough to drown anyone.
"Okay, let's go. They'll probably be awake soon. Don't let them see us."
Jiang Mancheng waved his hand, and the four of them tiptoed away, intentionally or unintentionally keeping a distance from Zhou Zhixing.
Zhou. Wronged. Helpless. Pilgrim. Knowledge and action.
The four of them quickly arrived at the drying yard. They were the last group to arrive, but there were others who arrived even later than them.
Jiang Nan looked at the woman swaying her hips and waist in front of her. Her eyes lit up like searchlights. She whispered, "Widow Qin!"
Jiang Mancheng's eyes lit up, and so did Chen Jinhua and Zhou Zhixing. Widow Qin, wearing a red floral gown with her hair loosely tied up, looked incredibly alluring as she walked. Jiang Mancheng tutted, "No wonder Qiu Xiangdong fell for this woman."
Chen Jinhua's eyes immediately glared. Jiang Mancheng raised his hands and said flatteringly, "Jinhua, you don't know me yet. Even if I look at other women, it's with a critical eye. I absolutely cannot accept them. As for me, I've set my heart on you in this life. No one else can help me."
Chen Jinhua snorted: "Anyway, stay away from this woman."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Mancheng immediately shifted the blame. "Hey, Zhou family kid, where are you looking? I'm telling you, you better behave yourself. If you do anything to my Xiaonan, I'll fight you to the death, understand?"
Zhou Zhixing looked helpless. "Uncle Jiang, what are you thinking? I was wondering, didn't this woman just finish her confinement? Why is she here? Is she here to see Qiu Xiangdong?"
Jiang Nan asked the system about this and said in surprise, "She...she actually wanted to seduce Wu Dachui!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately looked at Jiang Nan with questioning and shock.
Jiang Nan's mouth was wide open, and he looked like he was about to faint.
Jiang Mancheng said anxiously, "Xiao Nan, please tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Chen Jinhua also became anxious: "Yes, Xiaonan, don't just listen to the system, talk to us too."
Jiang Nan finally calmed down and said with difficulty, "Her...her two sons are not Qiu Xiangdong's!"
"What!" The three of them cried out in shock from the depths of their souls.
Jiang Nan nodded heavily, a look of shock on his face. "Actually, Qiu Xiangdong is probably the one who has trouble having children. Tao Meiyu was injured giving birth, and Qiu Xiangdong must have some problems of his own, making it difficult for him to have children. But he didn't know that and always thought that the two sons of Widow Qin were his. Qiu Xiangdong wants to break up now and no longer wants to be involved with Widow Qin. Widow Qin has lost her source of income, so she wants to find another man to live a good life. He must have heard that Wu Dachui wants to remarry and came here to try."
Jiang Mancheng was speechless and shocked: "Qiu Xiangdong is really, what kind of look is that? What kind of thing is he provoking?"
Chen Jinhua was also a little annoyed. She said, "Okay, let's watch a movie and forget about their business."
"Wait, I'm not finished yet." Jiang Nan swallowed and continued, "You would never have guessed that Widow Qin is pregnant! She's so anxious to find someone else because she wants to find a successor."
Jiang Mancheng lowered his head and counted on his fingers: "One, two, three, three, Qiu Xiangdong is cuckolded three times. No, there are other male comrades, each of them is a cuckolded hero. Xiaonan, look at who those warriors are, should we rescue them?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinhua hit Jiang Mancheng with a hammer: "You are so wicked. What rescue?! They are not good people. Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Jiang Nan: “…” I was speechless. His father really just wanted to watch the fun and not mind the trouble.
Zhou Zhixing: "Xiao Nan, do you see if the probability has changed?"
Zhou Zhixing was proud and held his head high.
You see, it’s still him who always remembers the main mission.
Jiang Nan opened the program and shook his head: "No. Still 75%."
"Okay, let's watch a movie. Let's not meddle in this matter." Chen Jinhua made the final decision.
Jiang Nan argued, "Dad, Mom, shouldn't we pay more attention to our neighbors' brain waves in the future? Otherwise, we won't know about all these melons, and we'll be so behind the times."
Jiang Mancheng: "Don't come on, just look at Wu Chunli, Fan Taohua, Sun Qiaolian, and Tao Meiyu, the ones we suspected before. You can look at them if you have nothing to do, but don't look at the others. You are not a ruthless person who doesn't show off. What will happen if you reveal your true intentions again?"
Chen Jinhua echoed: "Xiao Nan, listen to your father on this matter. You are a little naive, and you must not let others see it."
Zhou Zhixing nodded: "Uncle Jiang and Aunt Chen are right, don't look around."
Jiang Nan's face was filled with grievance, but before she could continue to argue, a sharp cry erupted from near the public toilet. The voice was filled with shock, disbelief, and ecstasy, mixed with unspeakable confusion. In short, the mixture was loud and clear.
"Everyone, come and see, someone is sleeping in a cesspool, sleeping in a cesspool."
With a swish, Jiang Nan disappeared within three meters of him. Jiang Nan's mouth twitched. This move was much faster than hers. But she didn't stop. Even Zhou Zhixing, a playboy from his previous life, showed great enthusiasm for this bustling scene with color and smell. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, his long legs moved faster than anyone else.
When the four of them arrived, they could no longer squeeze into the bustling center, but the smell was pouring out in waves. Jiang Nan quickly covered his nose and mouth, jumping around to look inside.
Fortunately, she is a tall person of 1.78 meters in this life. She just jumped lightly, and three "Minions" appeared, even covering her head and face.
Who would have thought that they would not come out and fight in the cesspool.
That's a cesspool. It's unbelievable to think about fighting in a cesspool.
Jiang Mancheng shook his head again and again. He just wanted to make the three of them look bad, but who would have thought that they would make the embarrassment even worse.
Wei Lao Er wiped his face, pounced on Wei Youwei, and shouted, "It was all your bad idea. Now it's all your fault. You have to compensate me for my clothes! My good new clothes have become like this. You have to compensate me for two sets!"
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Wei Youwei slumped down into the pit. He spat out the splashing yellow liquid, retched twice more in disgust, and said angrily, "What are you dreaming of? You were the first one to stand up and agree. What? Now you're blaming me? I'm telling you, no way!"
Wei Laosan struggled to stand up, pinching his nose silently and moving away from the pit.
But the madly beating Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao Er would not let him go. They both reached out and grabbed Wei Lao San's trouser legs and pulled them down, saying angrily, "You dirty bastard, you want to go up on your own? No way."
The three brothers of the Wei family fought bravely in the dung battle, which amazed and stunned the onlookers.
"Oh my god, their mouths...oh my god, it's so disgusting."
"Hey, no, that's Wei Youwei, right?"
"Yes, it's those three from the Wei family! Wei brothers, aren't you going to come up and fight? Look at how much they've messed up, what a waste."
"Yes, these are good things that can fertilize crops, but they can't harm us like this."
"Yes, manure is a good thing. Wei family, are you trying to steal it to irrigate your private plots? You can't do that. This manure is public property. You can't do that."
"Yes, Captain, Captain, someone is stealing feces. You have to take care of it. Otherwise, if everyone comes to the public toilet to steal feces, it will be a mess."
"That's right, that's right."
Jiang Nan pinched his nose and looked at the simple farmers who were filled with righteous indignation, and he admired them deeply from the bottom of his heart.
She scratched her head and wondered how he came up with this idea. What a talented person.
Jiang Nan asked the woman next to him, "Didn't you say you were sleeping in the manure pit? How did you get involved in stealing manure?"
"Oh, girl, I can tell you're from the oil fields. You've never farmed before, have you?" The woman in question looked Jiang Nan up and down. Seeing she didn't recognize her, she shifted her gaze to the front and explained while watching the fun. "This manure is good stuff. You city people may find it disgusting, but we country people treat it as a treasure. It fertilizes the land. They must be stealing manure from the public toilet when there are few people. I figured it out a long time ago. What do you mean by sleeping? That must be you oil field people shouting."
"Yes, yes, I thought of that too," said another woman nearby. "You're Xiaonan from the Jiang family, right? Look, there wasn't much feces in the public toilet to begin with, and with them messing around like this, there's not much left. What a pity."
"Shut up, aren't you disgusting?" A man in work clothes next to him said disdainfully.
"Don't look at it, it's disgusting." The auntie pinched her nose and complained, "Is oil workers so great? We will have one in our family in the future."
"Yes, we have it at home too."
The man who had angered everyone shrank his neck and muttered softly, "Aren't you just holding your nose and looking down on me?"
"What's wrong? We think feces are precious, but we also know it stinks." The aunt retorted, "We're not stupid. Besides, if you don't like it, just move aside. I want to stand in front and watch."
"I won't." The man stood firmly and said, "I haven't seen this kind of excitement in my thirty-plus years. I want to see it too."
An old lady standing nearby, leaning on a cane and trembling, said quietly, "Don't even mention that you haven't seen this in over thirty years. Even someone like me, who's over eighty years old, hasn't seen this either."
There was cheerful laughter from the crowd.
Jiang Mancheng nodded with satisfaction. Look, even the intention of the Wei brothers to come to the cesspool has been completed. It turns out that the power of the masses cannot be underestimated.
"Make way, make way. Youwei, Youwei, how are you?"
"Make way, Youwei, what's wrong with you? Youwei!"
......
The crowd automatically made way for the three women, but there was an eerie silence for a moment. Suddenly, someone whispered, "Dad, that was Wei Laoer's wife just now, right? She called her 'Lili', not 'Youwei', right? Did I hear wrong?"
The people from the West River Bank Brigade were silent for a moment, and suddenly, the crowd rushed forward one meter.
Oh my god, the eldest son and the second son's wife are having an affair. This is even more exciting.
Jiang Nan froze, thinking back to the last time he left the village, when he saw Wei Lao Da kick Wei Lao Er. Could it be that he was...knocked out? This man, isn't he too fragile?
Jiang Nan shook his head, feeling mixed emotions.
The old hand Jiang Mancheng was stunned. The development of the plot was always so unexpected. You say, he just wanted to embarrass them, but he didn't expect them to embarrass so much. He chuckled twice, pulled his wife and daughter together and said, "Don't just stand there, watch the fun. If you don't watch, you'll never see it again."
Four people squeezed in, but someone else was walking out. Fang Nanshan took Cheng Meijuan's hand and said softly, "Meijuan, are you feeling better? A lady from a wealthy family like you shouldn't be here to see me. Are you feeling better now?"
Cheng Meijuan's face turned pale, and she looked like she wanted to vomit. She said, "I'm sorry, Nanshan, it's all my fault for being so willful. I've never seen such a lively atmosphere, so I thought I'd go check it out. I didn't expect it to be so disgusting."
"It's okay. It's normal for a city kid like you to have never seen this before." Fang Nanshan glanced at the four people from the Jiang family who were squeezing in and said with a pout, "Look, Jiang Nan is usually quite reserved, but I didn't expect him to squeeze in at a time like this."
Cheng Meijuan looked over, curled her lips, and said with disdain: "That's right, you usually dress like a colorful peacock, but I didn't expect you to squeeze in during such a lively scene. You are so uncultured."
She took Fang Nanshan's arm and said coquettishly, "Nanshan, let's go back and watch a movie." Cheng Meijuan remembered that Jiang Nan had liked Nanshan. In her heart, although Nanshan's heart and eyes were now full of her, he had known Jiang Nan before he knew her. Although she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Nan was more beautiful than her, and she couldn't let Nanshan get close to Jiang Nan again.
Fang Nanshan's eyes flashed, and he smiled dotingly: "You, what are you thinking about? I have only loved you in this life, don't you still believe me? Don't say that Jiang Nan is not as pretty as you, even if she is a fairy, I won't even look at her."
Cheng Meijuan smiled happily, nodded vigorously, and felt extremely happy.
Jiang Nan hadn't expected that she would become a catalyst, promoting the relationship between the neighbors. At this moment, the four of them squeezed forward a little, almost squeezing into a photo.
But they don't give up.
After the four of them settled down, Jiang Nan unexpectedly spotted Old Lady Liu and her family. She exclaimed, "Grandma Liu, aren't Grandpa Cheng and Uncle Cheng here?"
Old Lady Liu was busy watching the fun and had no time to pay attention to Jiang Nan. Cheng Gaigai, holding the little geologist, helped answer: "Grandpa and Dad are not feeling well and didn't come. We came together."
Jiang Nan nodded and asked Cheng Gaigai, "You're not with your partner?"
Cheng Gaigai blushed a little, and she whispered, "Aihua's brothers and sisters are still young at home. He is a responsible person and couldn't bear to leave them behind and come here."
Jiang Nan said "oh" in a very complicated way, which made Cheng Gaigai's face turn even redder.
The few people spoke in low voices, but the buzzing crowd made Jiang Nan feel overwhelmed.
Everyone's enthusiasm is so high.
In the crowd, Wei Lao Er roared and attacked Wei Lao Da: "I'll let you sleep with my wife, I'll let you sleep with my wife!"
Crowd: Oh wow, it’s confirmed, Boss Wei really slept with Second Brother Wei’s wife!
Wei Laoer's wife looked at Wei Youwei with a distressed look on her face: "Youwei, are you okay, Youwei? Youli, you bastard, stop it. Stop hitting me, look at how you hit Youwei. He is your brother, how can you be so heartless?"
Wei Youwei cursed his second son's wife to death. Why was she causing trouble at this time? What a stupid woman. He hid and explained loudly: "Second brother, you misunderstood. My sister-in-law and I are innocent. There is nothing wrong. Please stop hitting me. Second son's wife, tell me, are we innocent and there is nothing wrong? Tell me."
Wei Laoer's wife also realized what was happening. She hesitated, "Yes, we have nothing. Woohoo, we are innocent. Youli, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm afraid you'll hurt someone and have to pay compensation. We don't have much money at home. Please stop."
Everyone's eyes flickered between Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao Er's wife, their eyes widening as if they were bells. Wei Youwei took advantage of Wei Lao Er's moment to catch his breath and shouted, "Gentlemen of the West River, please disperse. We fell down here accidentally, not to steal manure. Don't worry, we'll clean up the toilet before we leave."
Captain Jin arrived late. He covered his nose tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Wei Youwei, you said you would clean up the public toilets. The team will need them again in the future."
He began to push the crowd away: "Okay, everyone, go away. The movie is still playing. Let's go watch the movie. There's nothing good in the movie."
Someone murmured quietly: "This is better than the movie."
"Exactly. I've seen Tunnel Warfare so many times. There's a new movie this afternoon, so this is still more exciting and interesting."
Captain Jin glared, "My words won't work on the West River Bank, right?"
Secretary Tao also arrived and said, "Disperse! The oilfield leaders will be here soon to announce the recruitment. Don't waste time here. Nothing is more important than recruiting workers."
