How to Thrive in the ’60s

After returning from the village chief's house, Yun Chang finished washing up and lay comfortably on the hot hot kang, asking Gu Shinian in his mouth:

"Second brother Gu, why do you want to eat at the village chief's house? The food in the village is expensive, and we are not short of food."

"I eat the village chief's refined grains, and he can feel more at ease."

Seeing Yunshang's puzzled face, Gu Shinian smiled and flicked her head, "That's not a bowl of refined grains, that's a favor returned by the village chief. The more generous I eat, the more generous he will be. happier."

Yun Chang blinked, seeming to be a little enlightened.

"Second brother Gu, are you afraid that the village chief will feel that he owes you favor and will not be able to speak upright in front of you in the future?"

Gu Shinian was silent for a while, remembering that the old village chief was hunched over his back and asked him with an embarrassed look if he could find out about the relief food. His eyes flashed with helplessness, embarrassment and self-blame, but he also contained cautious expectations. With an expression on his face, he sighed and said:

"Ah Chang, many people with strong temperament can accept that others owe others favors, but they can't stand that they owe others favors. In dealing with such people in the future, if the other party owes you favors, you must remember to give them the opportunity to repay favors, so that Only the two sides can get along for a long time. Do you understand?"

Yun Chang nodded, feeling that Gu Shinian was right.

What a strong man the old village chief is. He has straightened his back in the village for more than ten years, and even the village party secretary of Xiaowangzhuang can forcefully press his head. It is estimated that apart from facing the leaders, he has never bowed his head to anyone and owes others favors.

How can such a person endure the kindness he owes a child, and he is still an adult that he can't afford.

It can be said that for the sake of the villagers, the old village chief sacrificed his face.

If Gu Shinian took a high stance again and didn't give the old village chief a chance to return his favor, it is estimated that the old village chief would never be able to raise his head in front of him.

Yun Chang repeated what Gu Shinian said in her mind twice, and wrote it down carefully, and then she snuggled into the hot bed comfortably.

After a day of running in the county town, and after returning to the village chief's house, Gu Shinian also felt tired. After washing his hands lightly, he closed the door, and quickly turned off the oil lamp and lay down.

In the middle of the night, a strong wind picked up again, blowing away the dark clouds in the sky, revealing the moonlight.

The snow accumulated in various parts of the village has not yet melted, reflecting the moonlight, illuminating the whole village to a certain extent, and even the icy road that people stepped on on the road reflects a little white light.

Gu Shinian suddenly opened his eyes, got up lightly, leaned against the window, and listened to the movement in the yard.

In addition to the whistling of the wind outside the window, there were also deliberately light footsteps.

Gu Shinian turned around and pushed Yun Chang to wake up, covered her mouth before she could speak, and made a few gestures in response to the moonlight pouring in from the window:

There's a burglar in the house!

Yunshang's body reacted much faster than his brain. While seeing Gu Shinian's gestures, he was already holding the electric bat and baseball bat taken out of the space.

Gu Shinian opened the corner of the curtain and glanced out, turned to take the baseball bat in Yun Chang's hand, turned over to the kang under her nervous and excited eyes, opened the door of the main room, and squeezed out against the door. ...

Sun Datou lightly jumped off the wall and walked along the base of the wall, avoiding the snowdrifts in the yard towards the east house.

Before taking a few steps, he was beaten on the snowdrift by someone with a stick.

Immediately afterwards, there was a big stick that looked like gold but not gold, exuding a deep chill, and a gloomy voice sounded behind him, "Where do you want to go?"

The cold sweat on Sun Da's head suddenly came out. He touched the big bag on his head and struggled hard to get up.

As soon as he moved, he was hit hard on the back, and then there was another foot on his neck, which stomped him into the snowdrift, unable to break free.

Sun Datou is a family man. He climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and was apprehensive.

Don't dare to speak out. After being hit twice now, I was even more afraid, and asked tremblingly, "You, you, who are you? Is it Feng'er, let, let you come?"

After being stunned, Gu Shinian quickly realized that he had been in Xinglin Village for so many days, and the people in the village should more or less know of his existence, but this person didn't know who he was, obviously not from Xinglin Village.

Looking at it like this, nine times out of ten, she is the concubine of the widow Wang.

Thinking of this, Gu Shinian didn't even plan to let him speak out.

He bent down, grabbed the clothes on Sun Da's head and shoulders, tore off a large piece from top to bottom, formed a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and hit with a baseball bat.

These two people, the one who beat people didn't want to make a sound, for fear that the incident of Widow Wang's concubine coming to the door would be exposed, causing Yunshang to be criticized.

The one who was beaten didn't dare to speak out, for fear that the matter of his affair with Widow Wang would spread out and let his father-in-law know, and he stopped his work in the town's supply and marketing cooperative.

So for a while in the yard, there was only the sound of 'pu pu pu' made by sticks hitting people, but there was no screaming after being beaten.

Yun Chang raised her throat since Gu Shinian went out, pressed the curtains tightly, and listened carefully to the movement in the yard.

It wasn't until the sound of a stick hitting someone came from outside that Yun Chang quickly opened the curtains, glanced outside, then turned over to get off the kang, took out the rope from the space, and ran out.

"Second brother, here it is! Tie him up!" Yun Chang rushed over murderously.

Sun Datou almost reacted at this moment. Taking advantage of Gu Shinian's stop, he turned over and sat up, pulled the fabric from his mouth, kicked Gu Shinian with his feet, and threatened him with a low voice. :

"You little bastard with no hair! Dare to scare the labor and capital, you wait, the labor and capital must kill you today!"

When Yun Chang saw that Datou Sun dared to hit Gu Shinian, he was instantly angry, and without thinking about it, he took out an electric baton and stabbed Sun Datou.

Before Sun Datou stood up straight, he was hit so hard that he didn't even have time to react. He fell straight down like a salted fish.

"..."

Gu Shinian was speechless.

After regaining his senses, he asked Yunshang to put the person into the space, tied him with a rope, then blocked his mouth tightly, and then threw it into the backyard firewood room.

"A-Shang, you go back to the house to sleep first, and I'll go out and clean up the traces on the wall."

It snowed just two days ago, and the residual snow at the base of the wall outside was not swept away. When the person climbed over the wall and came in, he would definitely leave traces on the wall.

If you don't deal with it quickly, everyone will be able to see that there was a burglar in the house last night.

If that person is an ordinary second-rate, he doesn't have to hide it from others. He can send the person to the village in an upright manner and let the village chief come forward to deal with it.

But that person is the concubine of the widow Wang! Not only can this thing not spread, he has to wipe the traces on the wall clean.
