The labor camp is not a good place, it is used to accommodate bad elements.
People work more and eat less on the farm. Generally, those who enter the farm will burn out after a few years.
Like these bad elements, it is very difficult to have a chance to come out after entering the labor reform farm. It's just that the labor reform farm below has recently accepted a lot of bad elements. The farm is small and cannot accommodate so many people.
Therefore, after the commune director held a meeting and discussed, he decided to select some more obedient and quiet people from among the bad elements and place them in the production team.
Qili Village was divided into three.
The three are a family, an old man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties, a woman in her thirties, and an eight or nine-year-old boy.
The clothes on their bodies were covered with patches, their faces were sallow and haggard, and they were very thin, with no flesh visible on their faces or bodies.
Especially the old man, his brows were tightly frowned, the wrinkles on his face were like the marks of a knife, all carved on his face, his body was tall and stooped, he looked as if he had suffered a serious illness.
When several people arrived, the production team leader Wang Shuisheng rang the gong and called all the villagers to the threshing ground to gather.
Qiao Xiuzhi and Qiao Zhenmin, who had just returned home, also passed by.
Standing on the high platform, Wang Shuisheng pointed to the family and said, "These three are bad elements from the labor reform farm, and they will stay in our production team in the future!"
When the villagers below heard this, they immediately boiled.
"Captain, what's going on here? Why did you bring so many bad guys over here? What if the children are taken away?"
"Yes, yes, if the child is corrupted by them, will it implicate us in the future?"
"That's right, why let bad elements come to our production team, shouldn't they go to the farm to reform themselves?"
Wang Shuisheng stretched out his hand to press it down, and said in a rough voice: "Be quiet, everyone be quiet! Why are you arguing? I haven't finished talking yet!"
"There is not enough space on the farm. These people are bad elements who have received education and raised their ideological consciousness, so they are allowed to leave the farm. You only need to tell the children in your family not to contact the bad elements, and naturally they will not be affected by them." Influence! You all put your words in your stomach, don't take it seriously, if you are reported later, it will be useless to come to me at that time!"
When everyone heard this, although they still murmured, they kept in mind that they must tell the children at home well when they go back, so that they must not contact bad elements, otherwise they will be in trouble if they are corrupted!
Bad elements are different from educated youths, so naturally they cannot live in such good places as educated youths.
After much deliberation, Wang Shuisheng finally decided to arrange them to go to the pigsty.
There are a few empty houses next to the pigsty, because the smell of being next to the pigsty is too offensive, no one wants to live there, and it is just right for these bad elements to be arranged there.
Moreover, no one in the production team likes to do the work of picking manure. Every year, lottery is arranged for this job. Now it's good, let the family pick manure!
Before taking the bad elements to the pigsty, according to the procedure, there must be a round of criticism.
It is a good time to urge them to remember their identities and always remember to make progress!
Although most of the villagers are simple and simple, when facing bad elements, even the most simple people suddenly change their appearance!
Everyone gathered around the family of three and pointed at their noses and cursed. If it weren't for the fact that the old one, the young one, and one woman were among them, everyone would definitely go up and beat them.
But even so, the family of three suffered a lot!
After one round, the hair of the old man and the woman were all messed up, and the old man was spat on several times.
The woman bent over and held the boy tightly in her arms, her eyes were red.
It was the first time Da Qiao saw such a scene, and she was so frightened that she tightly held her grandma's hand.
Qiao Xiuzhi rubbed her hair and said, "If you're afraid, just close your eyes and don't look."
Da Qiao looked at the people on the stage and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are they really bad people?"
Qiao Xiuzhi frowned, looked up and looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she lowered her head and said firmly, "No, they are not bad people!"
Da Qiao's clear and beautiful apricot eyes revealed a confused expression: "Then why do you scold them?"
She also saw someone throwing stones at those few people. The old man was hit on the forehead. Although there was no bleeding, it was red and swollen and looked very painful.
Qiao Xiuzhi said: "This question is very complicated, you just need to remember that they are not bad people, you can't bully them like other people, remember?"
This is not the place to discuss this, and Da Qiao is still too young, so she didn't intend to explain it to her.
It's just that she never approves of this simple and crude way of division.
If Xue Chuan hadn't handed over the house to the country in advance, if she hadn't tried her best to protect him, he would have been classified as a bad element and forced to be reformed on the farm!
Da Qiao blinked her long eyelashes like a fan, nodded her head heavily and said, "Grandma, I remember, I will definitely not bully them!"
After finishing speaking, she turned her eyes back to the stage, and then suddenly met a pair of dark and slender eyes.
The boy was tightly protected by his mother, and a pair of eyes looked at her through the crowd.
His gaze was silent and cold, but also seemed to be a little curious and surprised.
Da Qiao's beautiful apricot eyes flickered, she was surprised for a moment, then she pursed her mouth and showed a comforting smile to the boy.
The boy didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly smile at him, he was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head away in embarrassment, but soon turned back to peek at her again.
Da Qiao thought he was very interesting, and felt that he was so pitiful, but she didn't dare to go up to stop everyone, so she had to show him a sweet smile all the time, hoping that he would feel better when he saw her smile.
Qiao Xiuzhi saw that the villagers were criticizing endlessly, so she took a step forward and said, "Okay, you're almost done, and if you keep fighting, something will happen!"
Mrs. Fang was criticized because she and her son were criticized last time. This time, even though her waist is not healed, she rushed to the front. She was the one who hit the old man with a stone just now!
Hearing Qiao Xiuzhi's words now, she raised her brows which were so pale that she could barely see them: "Oh, director of the Women's Federation, what are you talking about? These people are bad elements, are you defending them now?"
Qiao Xiuzhi looked at her coldly and said, "Although they are bad elements, compared to the Fang family who forced their daughter-in-law to death, I don't think they have done anything harmful!"
After finishing speaking, she turned to Wang Shuisheng: "Captain Wang, I don't want to protect these people, but you look at their old illnesses. If something goes wrong, don't our production team pay for their medical treatment? Want to feed them with food?"
Wang Shuisheng nodded: "You are right, since we have been assigned to our production team, once something happens, we will have to pay for food!"
When everyone heard that they had beaten someone up and asked them to pay for food, they immediately stopped.
They can't even eat enough for themselves, and if they are asked to pay for food for the bad elements, no one is willing to!
Seeing that Qiao Xiuzhi had persuaded everyone with just a few words, Mrs. Fang was so angry that she wanted to curse again but was afraid of causing public anger, so she cursed in a low voice and left.
Unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, he stepped on a piece of chicken feces and almost fell.
Although she didn't fall down, her waist seemed to be twisted again, so in the second half of the journey, she yelled to go back.
The old man and woman on the stage glanced gratefully at Qiao Xiuzhi, but they didn't speak.
For people like them, even if they are grateful, they can only keep it in their hearts, otherwise they will only bring trouble to the other party.
The boy's eyes kept staring at Big Joe, just seeing Big Joe kept smiling at him, and he turned his head away when he was embarrassed by the laugh, but turned back soon.
His action quickly attracted the woman's attention.
After the three came to the pigsty, Dai Shufang patted the child's head and said, "Why did you stare at the little girl just now?"
Huo Chi puffed his face and said, "I've seen her before!"
Dai Shufang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but she didn't take it to heart.
This was their first time in Qili production team, how could he have seen that little girl
She thought of the little girl's appearance, fair and ruddy, with a sweet smile, the most important thing was that her eyes were clean and clear, she looked like a very bright and kind child.
It's a pity that their identities are bad elements, even if Huo Chi wants to be friends with them, he can't do it.
Huo Chi ignored the fucking ridicule.
He didn't lie, he really met that girl!
—
The Qiao family returned to the old home.
Da Qiao plunged into the kitchen, and quickly made three bowls of steamed eggs: "Grandma, Uncle Wu, Sister Xiao Wan'er, I made these steamed eggs for you, try them and see if they taste good." ?”
She has learned cooking skills from her grandfather for several months, but since her third aunt came over, she didn't have much chance to cook in the kitchen, and after Aunt Hui married her father, she didn't have to do any work .
Now her grandma has come back from thousands of miles away, and there is still some time before eating, so she steamed three bowls of steamed eggs to cushion their stomachs.
The golden-yellow steamed eggs are topped with soy sauce and sesame oil. They are shiny in color and exude a fragrance. Before they are eaten, they already make people's index fingers twitch.
Qiao Xiuzhi was already partial to Da Qiao in her heart, but seeing her being so sensible and caring, her heart was even softer: "Grandma, try it, it smells delicious, it must be delicious!"
Da Qiao smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said softly: "I put a few drops of sesame oil in it, and the smell of sesame oil is old!"
The sesame oil was brought to them by the Shen family, and they brought a total of two small bottles. The portion is not much, so they usually don't add it when cooking.
So when Wan Chunju heard her words, she cried out like a hen: "Da Qiao, you prodigal girl, eating a steamed egg and dripping sesame oil, the landlord is not as good at enjoying it as you are!"
Qiao Xiuzhi turned cold and said, "According to what you say, I can't afford these drops of sesame oil anymore?"
Wan Chunju shook her body, shrank her neck and said, "Mom, I'm not talking about you, I'm saying that Da Qiao doesn't know Chai Migui since he's not in charge!"
Qiao Xiuzhi snorted coldly: "You have been married to the Qiao family for so many years, and this is the first time I know that you are so considerate of the Qiao family. Then everyone will eat meat later, so don't eat it!"
Wanchunju qaq: "..."
Being choked to death, Wan Chunju was angry and scared.
When he went out and saw his man chopping firewood, he immediately ran over and complained: "Mom, it's true, I only want to favor that girl, Da Qiao!"
Da Qiao's sycophant is too cunning, he is young, but his sycophant skills are top-notch!
She made steamed eggs for her mother-in-law with eggs from Qiao's old courtyard, firewood and sesame oil from Qiao's old courtyard.
What a chicken thief!
If I knew it earlier, she would have done it first!
Qiao Zhenguo said: "Da Qiao's niece is pretty and has a sweet mouth. Isn't it normal for Mom to like her? If she doesn't like her, does she like you?"
Wan Chunju was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "What's wrong with liking me? What's wrong with me?"
Qiao Zhadao Zhenguo said: "Mom said that one must be self-aware, daughter-in-law, you are as black and fat as a black mountain pig, and your mouth likes to gossip about people. How do you think you are likable?"
Wan Chunju: "..."
With a mouthful of old blood in her chest, she almost died on the spot during the performance!
She took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I won't compare me as an adult with a child, but with our Anping head office? No matter how beautiful Da Qiao is, he is just a girl. How can I love a girl more than a grandson?" ?”
There is no such reason in the world!
Qiao Zhenguo sighed and said, "Hey, it's all your fault..."
"shut up!"
Wan Chunju blushed with anger, stood up while supporting her pregnant belly, turned around and left.
Every time her man starts with "it's all your fault" and "it's all your fault", she can use her toes to guess what he's going to say next!
Seeing his daughter-in-law rush away angrily, Qiao Zhenguo was not affected at all, and continued humming a ditty while chopping firewood.
In the evening, to celebrate his wife's return and to celebrate finding Xiao Wan'er, Xue Chuan cooked again himself.
Everyone was looking forward to it, and when they smelled the scent coming from the kitchen, their saliva was about to flow down.
Da Qiao and his cousin Qiao Donghe are helping in the kitchen.
Qiao Donghe sighed while burning firewood: "Sister Qiao, we both learned together at the same time, why do the things you make always feel better than mine?"
Da Qiao tilted her head, blinked her eyes and said: "I don't know, but the food made by my cousin is also delicious, don't be sad, cousin."
"Don't worry, my cousin is not such a hard-working person, and I don't need you to comfort me."
Qiao Donghe took a look at her white, tender and fleshy little face, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her, it was bouncing, it felt so good.
Da Qiao was not angry when he was pinched, but instead smiled with crooked brows and eyes, so soft that one's whole heart softened.
There are a total of sixteen people in Qiao's family, big and small, and there must be no room for one table, so they are divided into two tables as before, one for adults and one for children.
Five dishes were placed on the two tables at this time. In the center was a large plate of braised pork with preserved vegetables, followed by braised pork with potatoes, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes with eggs, and a large pot of Chinese cabbage soup.
There are meat, vegetables and soup, even during Chinese New Year!
Especially the smell is so delicious, whether it is a child or an adult, almost drooling!
"Thank you for your hard work." Qiao Xiuzhi glanced at her husband, her eyes were full of longing and warmth.
Xue Chuan looked at his wife with a smile: "This hard work is nothing compared to yours."
The two have been separated for almost ten days. This is the first time they have been separated for such a long time in decades of marriage. Both of them miss each other very much.
Everyone in the Qiao family who was fed a mouthful of dog food before eating: "..."
Don't feed, if you continue to feed, you won't be able to eat!
Qiao Xiuzhi felt everyone's eyes, coughed and said, "What are you looking at, why don't you start?"
With this order, everyone's chopsticks immediately flew towards the meat on the plate.
Wan Chunju picked up a piece of buckle meat and put it in her mouth. Before she could swallow it, the chopsticks in her hand stretched towards the plate again.
But the next moment, a nausea rose in her throat, and she couldn't help turning around and retching.
Seeing his daughter-in-law retching, Qiao Zhenguo continued to pinch the meat quickly and accurately, and said while eating: "Daughter-in-law, don't you feel like throwing up when you smell meat like last time?"
Wan Chunju was struck by lightning: "..."
Qiao Zhenguo not only didn't feel sorry for his wife, but continued to make up for it: "Hey, why do you think you are so poor? Then I have to eat more for you!"
Wan Chunju was so angry that she almost spurted blood: "..."
Mad at her!
What kind of man did she marry
Wan Chunju was not reconciled, and ate another piece, but the meat did not tighten her mouth, and she retched again.
Unexpectedly, just as she finished retching, Lin Hui across the table also suddenly "vomited".
Qiao Zhenjun immediately put down his chopsticks anxiously, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"
Lin Hui patted her heart and whispered: "I don't know, I just feel a little stuffy in my chest, and I suddenly feel sick to my stomach when I smell the meat."
Qiao Zhenjun said: "Why don't I accompany you to the health center now?"
Wan Chunju on the opposite side bit her chopsticks, her teeth were almost sour!
Qiao Xiuzhi raised her head and said, "Second brother, you must be pregnant, right?"
Both Lin Hui and Qiao Zhenjun were stunned.
The two hadn't been married for two months, so they didn't think of this, but after his mother said it, think about it, it's really possible!
Lin Hui's cheeks were pink, as if she had applied rouge, she leaned over and whispered in Qiao Zhenjun's ear, "I haven't been here for more than a month."
Her menstruation has been unstable before, so she didn't take it to heart when she missed her period last month.
It's just that after marrying into Qiao's family, she didn't know if it was because she was in a good mood, but she felt that her health was much better.
In the past, even in summer, I would often feel cold hands and feet, with no warmth in my whole body, but now my body suddenly warmed up, and my appetite for sleep also improved.
Qiao Zhenjun was stunned, and then his whole body glowed: "Then let's go to the clinic and let the doctor see it now!"
Seeing Aunt Hui vomit, Da Qiao worried, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Shall I accompany you to the clinic with Dad?"
Lin Hui comforted her and said, "Don't worry, mom is fine."
Wan Chunju's eyes were red with jealousy, and she said in a sour tone, "Da Qiao, your stepmother is probably pregnant, and you will have a younger brother or younger sister soon, and they won't love you anymore!"
Lin Hui blushed even more with anger: "Sister-in-law, don't say such things to the child, it will be bad if the child takes it seriously!"
Wan Chunju snorted and said: "The stepmothers in the world are generally black, where did I say wrong? Do you dare to say that after you have your own child, will you still treat Da Qiao sincerely? Don't make a sound, what you said, don't let it go!" Lie to children more, try to lie to me, save yourself!"
Lin Hui was trembling with anger, looked at Da Qiao nervously and said, "Da Qiao, no matter whether Mom and Dad have other children in the future, Mom will love you the most. Don't listen to your uncle!"
Da Qiao blinked her bright eyes, and said softly: "Mom, don't worry, I won't listen to my auntie, and I like younger brothers and younger sisters, will you give birth to younger brothers and younger sisters for me?"
Xiao Qiao is also her younger sister. She used to like her very much, but after she knew that she had no good intentions for her, she gradually withdrew her feelings.
Lin Hui saw that the child was delicate, soft and sensible, and felt extremely soft in her heart.
When Wan Chunju heard Da Qiao's words, she gritted her teeth angrily: "You stupid boy, my aunt is really thinking about you..."
"Snapped!"
Qiao Xiuzhi put the chopsticks heavily on the table, and looked at the eldest daughter-in-law coolly: "Go down! You are not allowed to come to the table to eat until you know what is wrong with you!"
Wan Chunju was struck by lightning again, her face turned pale and she said: "...Mom, I know I was wrong now!"
"Go down!" Qiao Xiuzhi didn't look at her anymore, "Don't make me say the same thing a third time!"
Wan Chunju's face turns red and turns white.
She touched the man next to her, hoping that he would intercede for her.
Qiao Fan is more important than his daughter-in-law Zhenguo said: "Daughter-in-law, get down quickly, you must listen to what mom says, or you will die even worse!"
He ate the meat while talking, and never looked up at his wife from the beginning to the end.
Wan Chunju held her breath in her heart, and almost collapsed with anger!
Qiao Zhenjun was so excited that he stopped eating and helped Lin Hui to the clinic.
Half an hour later, the two of them returned to Qiao's old home, both of them looked excited and uplifted.
When everyone saw their faces, they guessed the truth.
Qiao Zhenguo said: "Second brother, the child may eat it, you have to be mentally prepared!"
Qiao Zhenjun blushed with excitement: "Brother, don't worry, my legs are now able to work in the fields, so I will definitely be able to support my wife and children!"
Qiao Zhenmin smiled and said, "Second brother, congratulations, you are really amazing, how long have you been married, and you will have a child so soon."
Qiao Zhenjun scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect your second sister-in-law to be pregnant so soon! Fifth brother, don't say that the second brother is talking about you, now that the child has been found, you two should reconcile, husband and wife There is no overnight feud, and you should give birth to a younger brother and sister for Xiao Wan'er earlier, after all, there is only Xiao Wan'er, and she is still too lonely!"
Qiao Zhenmin smiled, but didn't respond.
There was a sour and bitter taste in my heart.
After the fucking persuasion, in fact, he no longer blames Qiaoqiao in his heart, but what Qiaoqiao has done these days really chills him!
Xiao Wan'er has been missing for more than two months, and she has never said a word to her child!
She was worried, not because her child was gone, but because she was afraid that she would divorce her!
Therefore, he really didn't know how to continue this marriage.
Da Qiao was overjoyed when she found out that Aunt Hui was pregnant with a baby!
She kicked her short legs and ran over, touched Aunt Hui's belly and said, "Mom, is there really a brother here?"
Lin Hui smiled tenderly: "Maybe it's a younger sister, do you like younger brother or younger sister?"
"Sister!" Xiao Donglin also came over and stretched out his little paw to touch his mother's belly.
There is already a little Yiming competing with him in the family, so there must be no younger brother!
Xiao Yiming also had the same idea, and he came over to touch his belly together and said, "I want my sister!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw the appearance of the two little groups.
Especially Xiao Yiming, it's not that his mother is pregnant, why is he joining in the fun
Da Qiao tilted his head, blinked his eyes and said, "Mom, it seems to be a younger brother in my stomach."
