LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 54 - Song Zhi\\\'s younger brother and sister
Tao Tao’s first impression of Liu Xuexu was that this girl has a beauty like a pines and cypresses that are left behind and independent. She is tall, but too thin, and her whole person reveals an unhealthy pale, sickly beauty. And she is also very kind and likes beautiful things, but she also reveals a bit of an exaggerated personality that is not suitable for the world.
In other words, Liu Xuexu is a bit out of tune with the current society.
——Most people in this society are down-to-earth, unpretentious, and have a kind of honest intimacy; Liu Xuexu has an unrealistic romance, like a kite floating in the sky.
It is very similar to the immortal cultivators who are very characterful in Xuanye Ancient Continent.
Tao Tao has a good impression of Liu Xuexu.
On the other hand, Xing Xing, who had been observing Liu Xuexu, had a clear expression on the side—this Liu Xuexu was probably an artist who was not sober.
Taotao and Liu Xuexu have been chatting.
Tao Tao asked: “Xue Xu, are you a foreigner?”
Liu Xuexu replied with a smile, “Well, I’m from afar.”
Tao Tao asked again, “Then what are you doing here?”
Liu Xuexu stretched out her hand to tidy up Taotao’s clothes, “I don’t have a fixed destination. This time I came with a friend. She came to find relatives, and I came…to find beauty.”
Saying that, Liu Xuexu saw that Tao Tao’s braid was tied with a very unique headband, and she couldn’t help but want to pick it up…
Suddenly someone rushed over—
The girls were all taken aback!
Only after regaining his senses did he realize that it was Song Zhi who rushed over, grabbed the peach and ran away? ? ?
Peach: …
She was carried by Song zhi and ran, ran twenty or thirty paces away in one breath, and then was put down by him, and he was firmly behind her?
“Song Zhi, what are you doing?” Tao Tao asked strangely.
Song Zhi, however, stared at Liu Xuexu with gritted teeth, and did not answer Tao Tao, but only hugged Tao Tao with his backhand, and firmly protected Tao Tao in a posture of absolute possession and absolute protection.
Liu Xuexu was also taken aback, looked closely, but smiled. She called Song Zhi “brother” and walked over quickly.
Not knowing why, Xing Xing, Caixia sister, Hongdou Huangdou and others who ran over, were also stunned by Liu Xuexu’s “brother”.
– Is it such a coincidence? Liu Xuexu is Song Zhi’s younger sister?
Tao Tao was also shocked.
She knew that Song Zhi had a godsister named Guan Haishan, the daughter of his adoptive parents.
But I never heard that Song Zhi has a younger sister!
Song Zhi panted heavily, and asked Liu Xuexu very rudely, “What do you want? You, what did you just…what did you want to do to Taotao? What are you doing here!”
Taotao has never seen Song zhi so rude.
Liu Xuexu looked at Song zhi, and then at Bai Taotao, who was curiously sticking out from behind Song zhi, her eyes lit up, and she asked, “Brother Song zhi, do you and Taotao… know each other?”
Song Zhi did not answer.
Liu Xuexu, “You… are you dealing with someone?”
Song Zhi and Tao Tao replied at the same time—
“Yes!”
“No!”
Song Zhi turned back and frowned at Tao Tao.
Tao Tao showed an innocent expression.
Liu Xuexu sneered, ran over to hold Tao Tao’s hand, led her to her side, and said to Song Zhi, “Everyone said they didn’t date you anymore!”
Song Zhi slapped it without hesitation—
Liu Xuexu quickly retracted her hand and narrowly escaped.
Song Zhi snatched Taotao back again, still hiding her behind him.
[email protected][emailprotected]: What happened?
At this moment, Tang Liren suddenly rushed over, grabbing Taotao’s hand and running away——
This time, Song Zhi didn’t stop her and let Tang Liren take Taotao away.
Taotao, “Mom! Mom…what are you doing?”
Tang Liren, “I tell you, Taotao, we have to hurry up! Someone is selling shoes…the shoes are so beautiful! Hurry up, hurry up, so as not to be robbed! Xingzi, Caixia, you also bring red beans. Soybeans come here!”
Xing Xing and Cai Xia finally recovered their senses. One led the red bean and the other led the soybean, and hurriedly followed Tang Liren.
However, everyone turned their heads to look at Song Zhi and Liu Xuexu.
——Tsk tsk, I saw the two of them standing face to face, holding a handsome man and a pretty woman, they really are a perfect match!
Tao Tao was dragged by her mother to try on shoes.
It is a handmade cloth shoe.
I have to say that this woman who sells shoes has really clever hands.
She is an imitation of the women’s leather shoes in the supply and marketing cooperative, and combined the way of tying shoelaces in Jiefang shoes, plus the needlework skills, it looks like it was sewn by a machine…
If you don’t look at the soles.
And the reason why she can’t sell it is because the asking price is expensive.
For a pair of leather shoes, the cheapest in the supply and marketing cooperatives is seven or eight yuan, usually twelve or three yuan a pair; Jiefang rubber shoes are two yuan and five per pair.
As for the shoes made by farmers, traditional cloth shoes cost about one yuan a pair.
But this woman’s shoes are very chic. She asks for three yuan a pair, which is more expensive than the durable Jiefang rubber shoes. Therefore, although there are many onlookers, few are willing to pay for it.
Taotao picked out a pair and tried them on, and they were quite comfortable.
Tang Liren said to Taotao, “Go back to the booth now to change your sister-in-law to try shoes… I’ll buy a pair for our daughter and daughter-in-law!”
At this moment, Taotao has finished trying, Xingxing is trying on shoes, Tang Liren suddenly saw Caixia girl also showing an envious look, so she said to Taotao: “Go and call your second aunt too, you will be guarded. I’ll ask your second aunt to buy a pair of shoes for sister Caixia!”
Tao Tao nodded, ran to her own booth to guard the booth, called Tan Fenghui and Second Aunt Bai to find Tang Liren, and asked Zhou Xiaoni, “Do you want to buy shoes?”
Zhou Xiaoni blushed, “No, no money…”
God knows how much she wants a pair of cloth shoes!
The weather is about to get colder, and she still wears straw sandals, so she can’t think of what to do in the winter.
Taotao pointed to the things on the furoshiki in front of Zhou Xiaoni and asked strangely, “You have so many things here, are they not enough for a pair of shoes?”
Zhou Xiaoni shook her head and said silently, “I just changed to a bottle of oil, and then…it didn’t open.”
Taotao stared at the things on her own, second aunt’s house, and Zhou Xiaoni’s booth for a while. After thinking for a while, she greeted Zhou Xiaoni, “Xiao Ni, how many tong leaves do you have?”
Zhou Xiaoni served them up.
She brought thirty or forty Datong leaves over.
Tao Tao first spread the big tong leaves on the bag one by one, then mixed the three family’s things, piled a little on each leaf, and said loudly–
“Aunts and aunts! Sisters and sisters! It’s really annoying that you don’t know what to cook at home every day! Come and have a look at my stall! A meal only costs eight cents! A family of more than ten People can have enough to eat!”
Wow!
A meal only costs eight cents, enough for a dozen people in the family?
What a magical package this is!
The peasants were immediately attracted by this gimmick, and they gathered around with a bang.
Tao Tao continued to sell, “Aunts and sisters-in-law, come and buy it! Look-“
Saying that, Taotao pointed to a large tung leaf on which she had just prepared all kinds of dry food ingredients, “For lunch, let’s have some dry chili and fried mushrooms, it’s a super meal! Uncles, brothers and sisters work hard, why do they have to eat them? If you order some meat, you will have the strength to work in the afternoon. Then let’s make a stir-fried pork blood tofu with fermented fermented fermented fermented bean curd. Oh, my family has a large population, so I’m afraid that two dishes will not be enough. I’ll have a handful of fresh buckwheat, and then go to the vegetable garden to pick a few. A green pepper, roast it on the stove, and smash it together with the clean buckwheat head, the three-year-old baby wants to eat it…”
The dried chili and dried mushrooms belong to Zhou Xiaoni, the pig’s blood tofu and buckwheat are from the second aunt’s family, and the tempeh is from Tao Tao’s family. It’s not a lot to make up, but there is a little bit of everything. There are more, and there are also meat and vegetables with everything!
The most important thing is that this is already served with dishes, so you don’t have to think about it at all!
Someone said to buy it right now.
Taotao said to the man, “Okay! Auntie, can you buy two copies? I’ll give you 1.5 cents! Now, I’ll give you a different one for the other portion. Look, this is yam. Dried, salted duck eggs, dried shiitake mushrooms and dried vegetables! I’ll get you another handful of tempeh… I’ll teach you, this salted duck egg is too expensive for one person, but take three out to beat the eggs and cook them together with the dried yam, If there are still melons and vegetables at home, don’t worry, chop them up and throw them in the pot… Then a big pot of soup and water will be full and delicious! You can use dried mushrooms to fry tempeh! Salty The egg soup is full, and the dried tempeh and dried mushrooms are served with rice! If it is not delicious, you come to me to settle the account, I am from Ruyi Village…”
The fellow villagers onlookers instantly fried the pot, and many people came to ask—
“Little girl, is every dish on a tung leaf eight cents a piece?”
“Is there any discount for buying more?”
“Little girl, I want this, but can you give me a little more dried chili?”
“Little girl, give me a few more copies!”
People have this kind of herd mentality.
When one person buys it, everyone will watch it.
Two people come to buy, think it may be very popular?
When three or four people come to buy it, I will drum up in my heart: Is it so cost-effective?
Five or six people to buy? Then this cheap must be accounted for!
Dozens of people rob? Ouch, I will suffer if I don’t buy it!
then–
Zhou Xiaoni was dumbfounded as she watched Tao Tao sell everything on the stall within half an hour!
By the time Tang Liren held a few pairs of new shoes and led the crowd back to the booth, Tao Tao and Zhou Xiaoni were ready to close the booth.
Tang Liren’s eyes widened, “Where’s the stuff? It’s all changed? What did you change?”
Taotao handed over a large amount of notes divided by corners, “Mom, count them!”
Tang Liren called out Tan Fenghui and counted the total of seven yuan and sixty cents!
“How did you sell it?” Tang Liren asked curiously, “We have been shouting here for a long time and no one has come to take a look. Is it because you are good-looking that you bought it?”
Zhou Xiaoni said excitedly and excitedly.
The crowd suddenly realized.
– Yes, people go to the market, most of them are barter. But in fact, it is the most comfortable to use money to circulate. Coupled with the dry goods that Taotao comes with, you can spend a little money to match all kinds of things, which is more convenient than bartering.
Tang Liren thought for a while, and said to Second Aunt Bai and Zhou Xiaoni, “Since the three of us sold it together, then… the three of us have an average score?”
Second Aunt Bai and Zhou Xiaoni both shook their heads.
Second Aunt Bai, “First divide it into three equal parts, one for Xiao Ni’er, and the rest will be divided according to the head… Sister-in-law, it is because I have the least things. If you divide it equally, you will suffer too much. Can’t do it.”
Zhou Xiaoni also disagreed, “If it’s just me, how can these things be sold? Even if they are sold out, they can’t be worth so much money! So how can I take so much, it’s obvious that they can’t be sold. s things……”
Tao Tao was impatient to listen to them split the account and ran away quietly.
Song Zhi and Liu Xuexu were no longer there.
Tao Tao look left, look right…
In the end, Song Zhi was found.
He was leaning against a tree, his eyes blank. Suddenly seeing Tao Tao, he was startled and stood up straight, but there was an inexplicable confusion in his eyes, “You… have you finished trying on your shoes?”
“Where is Liu Xuexu?” Tao Tao asked.
Song Zhi, “Let’s go.”
Tao Tao’s eyes widened, “She left?”
Song Zhi let out an “um”, with an unnatural expression.
“I thought you were only one of the family’s younger sisters.” Tao Tao said, “Is Liu Xuexu also your sister?”
She felt a little uncomfortable.
-Why does he have so many sisters?
Song Zhi was speechless for a long time.
Tao Tao was a little upset, “Don’t you want to say something to me?”
Song Zhi looked at her blankly.
He’s not stupid, it’s not that he didn’t hear Tao Tao’s unhappiness.
But……
Song Zhi took a deep breath and said with a strong stomach, “You…you didn’t date me again. Why should I tell you about these private matters?”
Tao Tao’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Song Zhi!”
Taotao was angry, she wanted to scold him, but after holding it for a while, she realized that she seemed to have nothing to say?
She really didn’t want to get married.
So, shouldn’t she intervene in Song zhi’s private affairs?
There was a strange feeling in my heart.
But Taotao didn’t quite understand what this sour and uncomfortable feeling represented.
She racked her brains for a while and said, “But Liu Xuexu is my friend!”
Song Zhi carefully observed her expression, “Is Liu Xuexu your friend? Do you know her? Do you know her family situation? You… don’t even know how old she is, whether she is a man or a woman!”
Tao Tao, “She…”
Suddenly reacted, “She… Liu Xuexu? Is she male or female?”
Song Zhi was a little helpless, “Liu Xuexu is not my sister, he… is a younger brother.”
Tao Tao was stunned, “But he… so beautiful!”
Song Zhi smiled bitterly, “His mother likes girls, she dressed him up as a little girl since he was a child, and he has always been like this since then…”
Taotao, “Then what if he goes to the toilet?”
Song Zhi, “He never goes to the toilet outside, and he always sleeps alone.”
After a pause, he couldn’t help but say: “You are not allowed to shake hands with him in the future, you are not allowed to get too close to him, and you are not allowed to be sisters!”
[email protected][emailprotected]: …
Humph, she wants revenge, “Even if Liu Xuexu is a man, why can’t I shake hands with Liu Xuexu and get too close? I didn’t date you! Humph!”
A vengeance is not a peach!
This time, it was Song Zhi who was stunned.
Tao Tao raised her chin and ran away.
Song Zhi stared at her background with a thoughtful gaze.
– Is this little girl jealous?
He smiled.
But then I thought of Liu Xuexu’s words again——
“Brother Song Zhi, this time I came with Haishan. Brother Hailong gave us your address, but when we were on the train, the envelope was stolen again, and Haishan and I couldn’t remember. Your exact address, I have no choice but to wander in Songxian County, looking for you everywhere… This time, Haishan and I have split up. I will go to the city to meet her, and then go to Ruyi Village to find you! We have already found you. It’s been over a month…”
Song Zhi couldn’t help laughing.
It’s annoying.
But no one understood Song Zhi’s unhappiness.
Everyone is very happy – to the market today, everyone is mentally prepared to barter, even if you can’t exchange for the things you want. No one thought that Taotao would sell everything and make a lot of money!
Zhou Xiaoni had the most things, and was divided into two triangular dollars.
She immediately spent a dollar to buy a pair of cloth shoes, crying with joy, holding the shoes in her arms and reluctant to wear them. Under the leadership of Tang Liren, she spent a dollar to buy several large and small pieces of rags. When I get home, I put it together and put it together, how can I put together new clothes and new pants!
For the remaining 30 cents of money, Zhou Xiaoni spent 5 cents in bulk white sugar, and 5 cents and 2 kilograms of fried melon seeds and fried peanuts for everyone to eat. The remaining 2 cents was saved by her dearly. .
From today, she is also a person with savings!
Tao Tao was a little unhappy…
But later, she watched as Song Zhi dismantled the peddler who sold Empress Dowager Cixi’s precious grapes and watches—
Song zhi reprimanded the peddler, “Your gem grapes are actually wax balls, right? You didn’t even pinch them round, and even the boss’s fingerprints were printed on them. It’s too fake! Besides, how many years has the Empress Dowager Cixi been dead? She has eaten it. The thing that fell into your hands? You are not afraid of being poisoned!”
“And the gemstone watch that the Empress Dowager Cixi wore… In my opinion, how can it be the same as the Chunlei watch? And yours is just a watch case! There is no movement in it at all! Then you explain it, Empress Dowager Cixi died in 1908, the Chunlei Watch Factory was built in 1955, how did Cixi wear a watch that was produced 50 years later?”
“Don’t lie here in the future! You do something else… barter, or set up a black market stall to do a little business, I won’t tell you anything, if I see you cheating here again Human, I will definitely report it to the police! Hurry up!”
The peddler was scolded by him and fled.
Tao Tao’s mood improved.
She ran over with a smile and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts for Song zhi, “I’ll give you this, Xiaoni’s treat!”
Song Zhi sighed, took out a handful of white rabbit toffee from his pocket, and stuffed it into Tao Tao’s hand.
Tao Tao stared at the white rabbit toffee for a while, then put all the seeds, peanuts and candies into her purse, took out another white rabbit, and ate it out of the candy wrapper.
As soon as the candy was put into her mouth, she widened her eyes and smiled, “Ah! This… yummy! It’s a hot, biteable cream popsicle!”
Song zhi was infected by her smile, laughed too, and couldn’t help but reached out and touched her head.
A group of people bought a bowl of noodle soup and ate it at the market, and then drove back in Uncle Tan’s ox cart. This time, everyone didn’t have so much luggage, and even Song Zhi had a seat.
Taotao looked around and wondered, “Where’s Yan Naqian?”
Everyone looked at each other.
——Yeah, why can’t I see Yan Naqian.
Taotao, “Looking at her posture, I always feel like she’s going to do something… I was still beating drums in my heart, but who knows that quietly, everyone is gone.”
Tang Liren, “Maybe it’s the same as when we ran into the city with us, and disappeared without a trace, and a big event will come out in a few days!”
Song Zhi was silent.
——Although it is said that the child who came to report the letter was probably called by Yan Naqian, but in the end Tao Tao was fine, and he didn’t want to make trouble again. After all, that woman Yan Naqian is very annoying. The farther away she is, the safer it is.
So the group returned to Ruyi Village.
During dinner at night, Song Zhi hesitated again and again, and said to Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren, “Uncle, aunt…I, I want to move to the educated youth station.”
The whole family was stunned.
To be honest, no one wanted him to move.
After all, Dongsheng and Nansheng are not at home now, and Song Zhiqian does all the heavy work at home. If even he moved…
Bai Zhengqian and Tang Liren looked at each other, then looked at Tao Tao.
——Did Song zhi and Taotao quarrel? So move out?
As everyone knows, Tao Tao also looked at Song Zhi with doubts.
Song Zhi told the truth, “I… my younger brother and sister will also come to live for a while. I think it may not be so convenient to live at home. I just thought, let’s go to the educated youth station!”
Bai Zhengqian and Tang Liren were inexplicably relieved.
Bai Zhenggan, “Your house isn’t big enough? It’s similar to the East House. Your eldest brother Dongsheng’s family of five lives here. Can’t you and your younger siblings live there?”
Tang Liren, “How many younger brothers and sisters are you coming this time?”
Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, “One younger brother and one younger sister.”
Tang Liren said angrily: “Hey! I thought there would be a dozen or so! Come and stay at home! It’s better to eat and live than to be at the educated youth station!”
Song Zhi, “This is not very good…”
Tang Liren, “How long are they going to stay?”
Song Zhi, “They are not my own brothers and sisters, they all have parents and elders, and they will definitely go back to Kyoto during the New Year.”
“Just stay at our house!” Bai Zhenggan clapped the board, “It’s almost the ninth month and a half of the lunar calendar, and in two months at most, people will be leaving, why do you need to move to the educated youth station! Besides, Yan Naqian won’t pay back. Do you live at the Zhiqing Station? Where do you live, don’t sheep enter the tiger’s mouth?”
Song Zhi: …
Tao Tao laughed.
The next day, Song Zhi’s younger siblings arrived.
One is Liu Xuexu, who is wearing an army green skirt and a shawl, and the other is… Guan Haishan, who has a shaved head, cropped ankle pants, and straw sandals under her feet.
With a look of excitement, the two of them carried their fluffy luggage and asked people all the way to find Bai Zhenggan’s house directly.
The whole family was at home at the time.
Song Zhi looked at the “brother” and “sister” with complicated expressions.
Tao Tao already knew the “secret”, looked at Liu Xuexu and Guan Hai, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
——Have these two turned sexually? A man with long hair and a skirt looks like a 100% little beauty; a woman, shaved bald and vigorous, does have a bit of a girl-boy look.
Guan Haishan’s eyes were glued tightly to Tao Tao.
Liu Xuexu poked Guan Haishan with her elbow, and said in a low voice, “Look, I’ll just say it… Bai Tao Tao is the most beautiful in the world!”
Guan Haishan nodded desperately.
Tao Tao smirked.
——It was only now that she felt that Liu Xuexu’s voice was relatively low, and it was indeed a bit like a male voice.
Song Zhi reluctantly said to his younger brothers and sisters, “Why don’t you call someone when you see your elders?”
Guan Haishan and Liu Xuexu called Bai Zhenggan for uncle, Tang Liren for auntie, and Tanfenghui sister-in-law… In short, the etiquette was correct, and the two also took out a gift for meeting – a piece weighing almost four or five pounds. of pork belly.
She was so happy that Tang Liren took Liu Xuexu’s hand, looked up and down, and said to Song Zhi: “Xiao Song, your sister is so beautiful! This little mouth is also sweet…”
Song Zhi said with difficulty, “Aunt, he is my younger brother, Liu Xuexu.”
Tang Liren: ? ? ?
On the other side, Bai Zhenggan also looked at Guan Haishan, who was bald, and wanted to praise him, but he didn’t know how to say it – now only prisoners of labor reform can shave their heads, and serious people have hair, who wants to be bald! And the trousers of this boy doll, obviously they still look new, why are they cut short to reveal a small calf? It’s going to be winter soon, isn’t it cold?
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Zhenggan finally found a place to praise, “Xiao Song, your little brother is fat and handsome, and he looks really energetic!”
Song zhi swallowed, “Uncle, she is my sister… Guan Haishan.”
Bai Zhenggan: ! ! !
The whole family was stunned.
Liu Xuexu and Guan Haishan had already run towards Tao Tao.
This one said, “Peach peach peach, can you be my model?”
The one said, “Peach, can I paint you?”
Saying that, Liu Xuexu moved a small stool and put it in the courtyard, Guan Haishan pulled Taotao and ran over, asking Taotao to sit on the small stool, and then the two monkeys hurriedly took out sketchbooks and pencils from their backpacks. , just squatted down and started painting.
Tao Tao was still a little stunned, and asked, “You guys… have already started painting?”
“Well, I’ve already started painting!”
“it has started!”
Taotao, “Then how should I pose?”
“As long as you are comfortable!”
“You can do whatever you want!”
Tao Tao thought for a while, “Am I going to be immobile for a long time?”
“Half an hour! All right? Please!”
“Twenty minutes will do.”
Tao Tao adjusted her posture to a more comfortable position and asked, “Why did you two draw with pencils?”
“It’s called character sketching!”
“I don’t want you to be too tired today, will you be us an oil painting model in a few days?”
Taotao has never seen oil painting before, and I thought how could I still paint with this oil? A drop of oil soaks and disperses on the paper, right?
She was about to ask—
Guan Haishan suddenly stared at Tao Tao and stopped writing, “No! No! Beauty Bai Tao should not use sketching, and sketching is not suitable for her… Oil painting is not suitable for her, she is only suitable for fine brushwork!”
Liu Xuexu’s nib also stopped, looked at Tao Tao, and said solemnly, “Haishan, you are right!”
He looked at Tao Tao carefully and said, “Tao Tao’s temperament…it’s too fairy-like, not only does it have to be meticulously drawn, but it also has to be detailed… God, I already have a picture in my mind, Wu Daidang Feng, the flying fairy of Cao Yi who comes out of the water, has a graceful posture, drooping her eyes and turning her head and smiling softly, she is plump, graceful, charming, and holy and inviolable…”
Guan Haishan also looked at Tao Tao obsessively, “She is too beautiful… Don’t smile with flowers, vulgar! Let her hold a plate of fairy peaches…”
Taotao’s heart skipped a beat: My identity was revealed by them?
On the other side, Song Zhi also explained the situation of Liu Xuexu and Guan Haishan to the Bai family with great difficulty.
The eyes of the Bai family are collectively empty.
Song Zhi added: “Because of her stature, Guan Haishan can see that she is a girl, so there is no need to hide it. It’s mainly my brother Liu Xuexu… He, his situation is more troublesome.”
Bai Zhengqian can feel it.
A man, dressed like a woman, with long hair, wearing a skirt, and speaking in a delicate tone… Maybe he would hang out with the women all day long. If it is discovered that he is actually a man, it is very likely that he is playing a hooligan!
The crime is too big!
But now looking at Liu Xuexu’s attitude towards Taotao like this, I listened to Song Zhi’s explanation again…
Only then did I feel that Liu Xuexu was actually not malicious.
Just a boy who thinks he is a girl.
Song Zhi said: “Uncle, auntie, please… Don’t disclose Liu Xuexu’s situation first, I will restrain him, and I will let him restrain himself… Try not to show up outside, and never allow him to interact with others. The lesbians get together. He will stay here for a month at most, and as soon as the winter months enter, I will send them away as soon as possible!”
After a long while, Bai Zhengqian nodded.
Tang Liren said uneasily, “Song Zhi, then you have to take care of him…”
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, “Uncle is working! Go to the village committee, the people above are picking up the food!”
Bai Zhengqian was stunned for a moment – someone came to collect food today?
Why doesn’t something seem right? In previous years, when the grain was harvested, someone above would come down and arrange the time first. Which village to harvest first and which village to harvest later, it was necessary to mobilize a large truck to move the grain on the truck while weighing it.
I haven’t believed it yet this year, so why do I have to receive food directly?
However, thinking about the time to pay for the food now, Bai Zhengqian didn’t say anything, took his crutches and hurried out the door.
Tang Liren was still a little worried about her husband’s body, so she wanted to follow her to take a look, so she explained to Feng Hui, “Hu’er, please settle down with Xiao Song’s younger siblings!” Then she went out the door, and the red beans and soybeans jumped with them. Going to see the fun.
Tan Fenghui responded.
The girls of the Bai family lived in four rooms in total. Originally, the three sisters lived in one room each, and there was another room for sundries.
The original arrangement of the Bai family was for the younger brother to live with Song Zhi and the younger sister to live in the utility room.
But who knew that Song zhi’s younger brother… is actually a pretty girl! Living in one house is not suitable. So Tan Fenghui arranged for Liu Xuexu to live in the utility room, and Guan Haishan to temporarily live in Lili’s house.
At the moment, Tan Fenghui instructed Xing Xing to boil water and wash the faces of her younger siblings; she also called Tao Tao to clean up Li Li’s room and put away some important personal belongings…
Before they were done, Hongdou Huangdou suddenly came back to report, “Mom! Four aunts… Aunt Yan Naqian is here to collect the food! I even quarreled with my grandfather!”
All the family members were stunned.
——Originally, after seeing Song Zhi’s younger brothers and sisters, the Bai family already felt that their hearts were very capable. But I was still frightened by this sentence: I haven’t seen each other for a day, why did Yan Naqian become a grain collector?
For a time, everyone in the family could not sit still.
Tan Fenghui instructed Xing Xing, “Xiao Xingzi is at home with Xue Xu and Hai Shan, your fourth sister and I will go take a look, and we will be back right away…”
Xing Xing was also so anxious that she wanted to go take a look. But on second thought, there are still guests at home, and these two are newcomers, it is really not good for them to stay at home by themselves.
So had to admit it.
Tan Fenghui and Tao Tao rushed to the village committee.
The village committee has been surrounded by villagers on three floors inside and three floors outside, and everyone has expressions of indignation on their faces, and some women have already burst into tears—
“How can there be such a reason? If you don’t say hello this year, you will be charged 30% more of our food? Isn’t our life worse than a famine?”
“That person is right and unreasonable. Why does Ruyi Village charge 30% of the grain? Other villages don’t need it?”
“I thought I could have a fat year this year, woo woo woo…”
“Our Ruyi Village is not rich! Why do you treat us like this!”
“If you want to impose additional levies, the entire township and county will be levied together. There is no reason to target one of our Ruyi Village!”
Gradually, the villagers became angry.
Tao Tao and Tan Fenghui squeezed into the innermost crowd.
Bai Zhengqian and the village cadres were sitting on one side with pale faces, and the other side… It was Yan Naqian and a thin man who looked in his thirties.
The man was still holding a document in his hand and said with a smile, “Secretary Bai, sign it quickly!”
Bai Zhenggan, “Sorry, I can’t sign documents like this!”
“So, you think you are fighting against the country?” The man’s smile turned gloomy.
Bai Zhenggan, “I’ll talk about it after I meet Section Chief Hao. I’ll ask him personally, who issued this order…?”
Saying that, Bai Zhenggan stared closely at the man, “I recognize you, you are Zhao Zhiyong, the driver of the town’s grain bureau. I also know that Section Chief Hao should have arrived in our town at this time… Then, why not Section Chief Hao? Come over and tell us in person, but it was you, the driver, who sent such a document? Zhao Zhiyong, are you forging documents? Or fake orders?”
Since Bai Zhenggan injured his waist and couldn’t do physical work, he tried every means to let himself do more work as a village cadre.
Now there is another Song zhi in the family, and Song zhi is also very sensitive to current affairs, which infected Bai Zhenggan. So every night, Bai Zhengqian and Song Zhi would listen to the news broadcast together on the radio for half an hour.
This year’s harvest in the south is generally not very good. In several places, there are even no harvests due to floods and insect pests. In order to appease the masses, the state also specially opened a granary and used the stored grain for disaster relief.
Ruyi Village had a bumper harvest this year, but because it is located in a disaster area, it is still within the scope of the state’s reduction or exemption of grain collection… How can it be possible to collect grain?
At this time, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Zhiyong’s forehead.
Seeing Zhao Zhiyong’s panic, Bai Zhengqian sneered, “Zhao Zhiyong, if you dare to forge official documents of the state, you will go to jail!”
Zhao Zhiyong became more and more uneasy.
He stood up abruptly, pretending to be annoyed, “Anyway, I’ve already arrived, and I’ve brought the documents for you… You didn’t want to sign it yourself! If Kechang Hao gets angry in the future, if you want to blame it… you can follow me. it does not matter!”
Bai Zhenggan smashed the document Zhao Zhiyong held in his hand——
Zhao Zhiyong was so anxious that he said “hey” and wanted to grab it back as soon as he reached out his hand.
Several other village cadres were afraid that Zhao Zhiyong would hurt Bai Zhenggan. After all, Bai Zhenggan’s waist injury had not healed, so they blocked Zhao Zhiyong with their bodies.
Bai Zhengqian read the document seriously, and said with more certainty: “Zhao Zhiyong, this document you asked me to sign is a donation document! It reads ‘Ruyi Village voluntarily donated 30% of the grain for the autumn harvest of 1967 and handed it over to me. The treasury’… So, where is the state that is forcing food from us? Is that what you… mean?”
Zhao Zhiyong: …
Bai Zhenggan didn’t wait for Zhao Zhiyong to speak, and said, “I’ll keep this document. I’ll take it back and ask Section Chief Hao if he asked you to do this.”
Zhao Zhiyong was anxious.
——This document was written by himself, and the official seal on it was secretly stamped on the letterhead of the Food Management Bureau while the accountant of the unit that kept the official seal was not paying attention.
Originally, he was thinking about opening an introduction credit when he wanted to go out of town. Then last night he accepted Yan Naqian and promised her that he would come to Ruyi Village to pack her luggage and take revenge on Bai Zhenggan’s family by the way.
Only then did Zhao Zhiyong think of a way to forge a donation document and ask Bai Zhenggan to sign it.
——Only Bai Zhenggan signed the letter. Ruyi Village will donate 30% of the food this year. The original bumper harvest is not as good as the famine year. The villagers will hate Bai Zhenggan, and Bai Zhenggan’s political career will come to an end.
Unexpectedly, it was actually seen through by Bai Zhenggan?
Zhao Zhiyong panicked.
Yan Naqian, who was sitting beside Zhao Zhiyong, looked at Zhao Zhiyong with hatred.
She didn’t know until last night that…
She may have made the wrong multiple-choice question at a turning point in her life.
—— Being caught by the Food Administration Bureau as a thief and taken to the police station might be better than marrying Zhao Zhiyong.
Look at her injuries…
Oh no, it was covered by clothes, and outsiders couldn’t see it at all.
But after thinking about it, Yan Naqian felt that since she had taken this wrong step, why didn’t she
