It was pitch black in the pigsty, and the fat pig made grunting noises from time to time, but there was a little candlelight in the house next to the pigsty.
Wang Yansheng strode towards the house.
Huo Huaqing sat in the main room, and glanced outside from time to time, his wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes and exhaustion under the faint candlelight.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. He clenched his fists and just stood up when he saw a tall man appearing at the door.
He looked at the other party and said: "The country is broken."
Wang Yansheng said: "The river flows into the sea."
Huo Huaqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his signal to him, turned around and blew out the oil lamp and said, "Come in and sit down."
Wang Yansheng walked in, bowed deeply to him and said, "Mr. Huo, hello, my name is Wang Yansheng, I am a subordinate of Master Jiang, and now I am serving as the head of the army!"
When Huo Huaqing heard Mr. Jiang's name, he showed concern on his face: "Is Guohai okay?"
Wang Yansheng walked to the opposite seat and sat down, nodded: "Mr. Jiang is very good, but I miss you very much. This time he asked me to come and visit you!"
Huo Huaqing was very emotional in his heart: "It's good for him to live a good life, so that he doesn't have to miss me. Now that I am in my status, if he contacts me again, it will only drag him down!"
Wang Yansheng said: "You don't always say that, Master Jiang has never given up fighting for you all these years, but the current situation is still unstable. Although he is a teacher, he still has many things beyond his control."
Huo Huaqing nodded again and again: "I understand, don't worry, let him never show his traces!"
The Huo family has been rich for generations. In the Republic of China, they were even richer than other countries because of their factories. They were well-known big capitalists at that time.
It's just that the Huo family has never done anything to be sorry for the country or the people, and even spent all their wealth to support our army during the war.
The only son was also killed while transporting military supplies, and the body was never found!
But even so, their Huo family was wronged and labeled as bad elements, and they were sent to the farm to be sent to reform through labor!
It's fine for him to suffer, but his family has to suffer with him, how can he not resent
Of course, compared to other capitalists who didn't even have their lives, it's a blessing among misfortunes that their grandfather and grandson are still alive!
The people he funded back then have secretly helped them all these years.
Being able to come to the Qili production team from the farm this time is naturally not due to their good luck. Most of the bad guys on the farm are actually not bad guys. If it weren't for someone operating secretly, the opportunity to come out this time would definitely not be theirs. son.
I have been in the Qili production team for a few months. Although I live next to the pigsty and have to raise pigs and clean up the manure every day, these jobs are nothing compared to those on the farm!
In addition, most of the people in the Qili production team are relatively kind, especially the Qiao family who often help them. This day is something they never imagined before!
Wang Yansheng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I will definitely bring the words back to Mr. Jiang! By the way, Mr. Huo was an expert in growing Chinese herbal medicine back then. I wonder if there is any problem if I ask you to plant it now?"
Huo Huaqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Although so many years have passed, I have never forgotten the knowledge of planting, but why do you ask this?"
If conditions do not permit, he also wants to record all the knowledge about planting for future generations.
Wang Yansheng said: "I'm going to ask my elder brother, the production team leader of this village, to persuade the villagers to change their private plots to Chinese herbal medicines when I come back this time. Then I will push your family out and let you be the guides of the villagers."
In this way, although there is no way to get rid of their status as bad elements for a while, their status in the production team will be greatly improved, and once the planting is successful, they will be more respected by the villagers.
Huo Huaqing's turbid eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Is this possible? Will your elder brother agree? Will the villagers be willing?"
Wang Yansheng frowned and said: "I am sure to convince my elder brother, but the villagers can only resign themselves to fate, but everything is difficult at the beginning, even if there are only one or two willing to plant Chinese herbal medicine at the beginning, but once they taste the sweetness, we will not need us next year Urge them, and they will sign up voluntarily!"
Of course, it's not his real goal to change all the private plots to plant Chinese herbal medicines. After all, each household's private plots are only 50 square meters, and even if the entire production team's private plots are planted, it won't make much difference.
What he wants is for more than half of the entire production team's land to be planted with Chinese herbal medicines. As long as growing Chinese herbal medicines is more profitable than growing food, the commune will not agree.
Huo Huaqing was a big capitalist back then, so of course he understood the value of Chinese herbal medicines. If they could really grow them successfully, their family would be considered a success!
Even if he and his daughter-in-law go, Chi'er's child will survive in the production team!
He grabbed the edge of the table with his rough and cracked hands, his eyes were red with excitement.
When he came out of the pigsty and passed by Qiao's courtyard, Wang Yansheng couldn't help but glanced inside.
Unexpectedly, Pipi smelled the smell of strangers, and immediately barked vigilantly. On such a night, Pipi's voice was loud and imposing, which woke up Qiao's family all at once.
Candles were lit in Qiao's house, and there was a sound of opening the door.
Wang Yansheng was going to slip away, but after he caught a glimpse of the slim figure coming out from inside, he raised his steps and put them back.
Qiao Hongxia came out with a flashlight and asked, "Who is outside?"
Wang Yansheng said: "It's me, Wang Yansheng."
His voice is deep and mellow, once heard once, it is hard to forget.
When Qiao Hongxia heard it was him, she couldn't help but startled for a moment, walked to the door and said, "Brother Wang, it's so late, why are you here?"
Taking advantage of the light, Wang Yansheng glanced across her face and said, "I just came back from the town and was barked by your dog when I passed by. This should be the legend that people hate dogs, right?"
He wanted to say something witty to cheer up the atmosphere, but he was serious and majestic. Not only was it not funny at all, but Qiao Hongxia didn't know how to respond.
The atmosphere seemed even more awkward.
Wang Yansheng pushed the back molars with his tongue, cursed himself inwardly, coughed: "It's getting late, I won't disturb your rest, now."
Qiao Hongxia nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go."
After she finished speaking, she felt as if she couldn't wait to drive the other party away, so she added after thinking about it: "I'll show you the way with a flashlight."
Wang Yansheng originally wanted to say no, he was used to walking at night, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back: "Okay, then I will trouble you."
"No trouble."
Wang Yansheng glanced at her again, then turned around and strode away.
When the light of the flashlight was about to disappear, he suddenly turned around, waved at her with a smile and said, "Go in, I'll watch you go in here before you go."
Qiao Hongxia looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth, her heart suddenly lost its balance at this moment, and started beating wildly.
As soon as her face became hot, she turned and ran away without saying a word.
Wang Yansheng saw her "leave without saying goodbye", deep doubts flashed in his eyes, after much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what he said just now that she didn't like.
After standing for a long time, until the night wind blew over, he shivered all over, then turned and walked towards Wang's house.
—
When she got up the next day, Da Qiao stared at her third aunt curiously and said, "Third aunt, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"
My aunt had dark circles under her eyes because she had to wake up in the middle of the night to breastfeed. Aunt Wu had dark circles under her eyes because she was under a lot of pressure to learn nursing. So what was the reason for my third aunt
Qiao Hongxia's face turned hot, and she said with a guilty conscience, "Third Aunt didn't rest well last night, did you have breakfast?"
Da Qiao nodded obediently: "I've eaten it. I heard from my mother that the fart woke everyone up last night. I'll go and reason with it in a while!"
Seeing her cute appearance, Qiao Hongxia couldn't help but reached out and rubbed her hair, then took out two big white rabbit toffee from her pocket and said, "Take it and eat it."
Da Qiao smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Thank you, Third Aunt, then I will not be polite."
Qiao Hongxia couldn't help laughing when she heard her grown-up tone.
Da Qiao took the white rabbit toffee and didn't eat it, but turned around and sent it to her mother.
I heard from my godmother that seven white rabbit toffees are equal to a cup of milk, which is good for the body, so she always stuffs toffees for her mother during this time.
Seeing that Da Qiao was finally sent away by herself, Qiao Hongxia put her hands on her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
After she went back to the house last night, for some reason, she kept thinking of Wang Yansheng smiling at her.
The more she forced herself not to think, the clearer the picture in her mind became, to the point that she tossed and turned on the bed without falling asleep for a long time, wouldn't she have dark circles under her eyes the next day
In the room, Lin Hui was helping Qiao Zhenjun tidy up his clothes, and said in a gentle voice, "The Shen family did a great job helping us with this job. Mom bought two pieces of century-old Ganoderma lucidum. Take them to the Shen family when you are free."
Some people's body will become swollen and their skin will become ugly after pregnancy, but Lin Hui looks even better after pregnancy, her face is rosy, her complexion is white and greasy, except for her stomach, her limbs are still slender, and she can't see the slightest bloat.
"Okay, I'll take it as soon as I have time."
Qiao Zhenjun looked at his wife's bright face, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but leaned over and kissed her on the face: "Huihui, you are so pretty."
Lin Hui's face turned red with a "thump", and she stretched out her hand to thump his chest and said, "What are you doing! It's broad daylight, how embarrassing it would be for a child to see it!"
Qiao Zhenjun grabbed her hand and kissed again: "The child is still sleeping..."
Before she finished speaking, Da Qiao rushed in. Seeing this scene, she quickly covered her face with her paws, turned around and said, "Mom and Dad, I didn't see anything!"
The faces of Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui were as red as boiled shrimp.
Xiao Donglin kicked his short legs and ran over: "Sister Da Qiao, what didn't you see?"
Da Qiao said softly: "Father is kissing mother's hand, but I didn't see anything, and you can't say you saw it, understand?"
There was great doubt in Xiao Donglin's small eyes, but he still nodded obediently, and said in a childlike voice, "I see, I didn't see Dad kissing Mom's hand!"
Qiao Zhenjun and Lin Hui: "..."
Lin Hui's face was so hot that she could fry an egg, and secretly pinched Qiao Zhenjun bitterly.
Qiao Zhenjun gasped in pain, but his heart was sweet, next time he wants to kiss again!
Today is the day when Qiao Zhenjun went to the food factory to report, and Qiao Zhenmin also left to go back to work in the county.
Qiao Zhenjun went to work in the town, but he was only a temporary worker, so his household registration still had to stay in the production team. He didn't work in the fields, so he naturally had to ask the production team leader for leave.
This request for leave, the news cannot be concealed, and everyone is extremely envious!
"Oh, the Qiao family is really about to lose money. There are two workers in the family. I really envy the dead!"
"No, if this continues, the Wang family will definitely be overtaken!"
"Second Qiao, did the deputy director of the town introduce you to this job? Is there a way to introduce me to go too?"
"Yes, yes, we are members of the same production team, you can't hide your secrets!"
"Second Joe, my family is very strong, and can do any job, even tired and dirty ones. Can you introduce him to a job?"
The villagers surrounded Qiao Zhenjun and pulled him one after another, asking him to introduce jobs to his family.
Qiao Zhenjun's face flushed red, and he explained: "I'm just a farmer, how can I introduce jobs to you?"
The villagers were unhappy when they heard this. He had no choice, but the deputy director had a way!
Seeing his second brother like this, Qiao Zhenmin had no choice but to help: "You can go, a temporary worker's job is 800 yuan, as long as you give me the money, I'll introduce you!"
Eight hundred yuan!
My goodness!
Not to mention that few people in the production team can afford so much money, even if they can, who wants to!
The salary of a temporary worker is usually 15 to 20 yuan, and it takes at least three years to pay back the capital. The problem is that most people have more than one son in their family. If the money is paid, who should work for
No matter which son it is given to, the other sons will definitely not be happy, and family conflicts will inevitably arise at that time!
So as soon as these words came out, everyone stopped thinking.
Of course, some people felt even more uncomfortable, such as Xinghua who once wanted to marry Qiao Zhenmin.
Xinghua looked at Qiao Zhenmin from a distance in the crowd, and felt that he was becoming more and more different, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off him.
She clenched the tool in her hand tightly, hating her to death, if Qiao Xiuzhi hadn't stopped her, she would have been Qiao Zhenmin's wife long ago!
After Qiao Zhenmin left, Xinghua was in a bad mood all morning, and went to Fang Xiaojuan's thatched cottage as soon as she got off work.
"Xiaojuan, Qiao's second child is going to work in the town as a worker, do you know about this?"
She was in a bad mood, so she wanted someone to accompany her. She was in a bad mood, so she told Fang Xiaojuan the news.
Xinghua originally thought that Fang Xiaojuan would gnash her teeth in anger when she heard this, and then cursed.
Who knows that Fang Xiaojuan was just a little startled, then shrugged her shoulders, and said indifferently: "Whether he is a worker or not has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to do with him eight hundred years ago!"
Xinghua was shocked on the spot!
Fang Xiaojuan, who is so calm and calm, is not Fang Xiaojuan at all!
"Xiaojuan, are you really not angry?" She looked at her suspiciously, desperately trying to get some clues from her face.
Fang Xiaojuan smiled and said, "Why should I be angry? Do you think that if I leave Qiao Zhenjun, I won't be able to live a good life?"
Xinghua was so curious, she leaned over and asked, "Xiaojuan, tell me the truth, is there anything good you have?"
Fang Xiaojuan smiled with spring breeze on her face, stretched out her hand to brush the hair falling from her forehead behind her ears and said, "I can't tell you now, but you will know in a while!"
Yesterday, she received a letter from Meng Hongguang, saying that he never forgot her for a moment after he went back, and that he would come to the town to do business in ten days, so she must go to the town to meet him!
Meng Hongguang was the first man she fell in love with.
He was taller than ordinary educated youths, with a handsome and majestic Chinese face. Among so many male educated youths, she immediately took a fancy to him.
Afterwards, she tried her best to get close to him and tried to gain his favor. The two had a very heated fight at one point, and he also promised that if he had a way to return to the city, he would definitely take her away!
Unexpectedly, after he left, there was no news at all. At that time, she became a joke of the production team. In order to get herself married, she designed Qiao Zhenjun.
The person who she thought she would never see again in this life suddenly wrote her a letter seven years later, and when she was in such an embarrassing and miserable situation, she vowed to catch this person and let him take her back to the city !
As long as she became a city resident, what was Qiao Zhenjun, a worker in the town, worth
Seeing Fang Xiaojuan's face full of peach blossoms, Xinghua was very curious, but no matter what she asked, Fang Xiaojuan refused to say anything, so she had to roll her eyes and leave.
Apart from Xinghua, Chen Qiaoqiao was also unhappy.
This time Qiao Zhenmin came back for a total of ten days, but the husband and wife only slept together once!
It wasn't that Qiao Zhenmin didn't want to hand over to the male wolf, but because he was really not good at it, and the only time it ended was hastily, which made her very dissatisfied.
Originally, she got together more and separated less. If this continues, when will she be able to conceive a child
But she can't tell other people about such troubles, and she can't even let others see the clues!
Tian Jianming took out a pack of Yunpian Cake from the drawer and handed it over, "Come, eat a piece of Yunpian Cake."
Chen Qiaoqiao shook her head: "Thank you, Dr. Tian, I don't have much appetite."
Tian Jianming took out a piece of Yunpian Cake, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Are you eating it yourself, or do you want me to feed you?"
Chen Qiaoqiao's face turned red with "shua", and stammered: "Doctor Tian, you, don't say such things, it will be bad if people hear them!"
They were lonely and widowed in the health center, so they had to avoid it, but fortunately, people often came to the health center, and everyone didn't dare to offend doctors, so no one dared to say anything.
But if his words are accidentally heard by others, they will not be able to clean up even if they jump into the Yellow River!
Tian Jianming smiled at her and said, "You are so timid and cute! I was joking with you! I see you are depressed all day, so I want to tease you!"
Hearing what he said, Chen Qiaoqiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a warm current surged in her heart.
Tian Jianming passed the cloud cake again: "Eat a piece, don't always frown, beauty frowns, it's easy to make people feel distressed!"
Chen Qiaoqiao met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat like last time, and then started beating wildly again.
Seeing her staring at him, Tian Jianming smiled even deeper: "Please hold it, my hands are almost sore!"
Chen Qiaoqiao came back to her senses, her face turned even redder, and she reached out to take the Yunpian cake in his hand.
The fingertips of the two accidentally touched, her heart beat faster, her hand shook, and she almost dropped the cloud cake to the ground!
Tian Jianming pretended not to notice her panic, and said in a relaxed but caring tone: "Have you encountered any difficulties? We are comrades who work and study together. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me!"
Seeing how much he cared about her, Chen Qiaoqiao felt very complicated, including happiness, fear, unspeakable grievances, and a little bit of sweetness.
She lowered her head, pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Dr. Tian, but I'm fine."
Tian Jianming frowned, but soon relaxed: "It's fine, but if there is anything, you must tell me, I will always stand by your side and support you!"
The cloud cake in Chen Qiaoqiao's hand was almost crushed, she bit her lip and said, "Okay."
—
Ever since the production team discovered that Xilinzi had a hidden cave, the villagers have been thinking about going in to pick fruits and catch fish every day.
It's just that Wang Shui was afraid that everyone would fight because of snatching things, so he had people seal the entrance early in the morning, and organized everyone to go in after talking about the busy farming season, and the things picked were divided equally by centimeters.
Everyone also felt that the division was fair, so they all raised their hands in agreement.
And today is the day to go to Xilin to pick fruits and catch fish. The whole production team is excited, with smiles on their faces.
Wang Shuisheng selected ten young men to go fishing at the waterfall, and ten men and twenty women to pick fruits, and the children went in to pick wild vegetables.
Wild vegetables do not need to be handed over to the public, so every household sent someone to go.
In addition to Xiao Dongyun who was full of food and sleep, the Qiao family even dispatched Xiao Wan'er, and Xiao Qiao was also forced to go to Xiao Qiao's side by Fang Xiaojuan.
I don't know if it's because the ape dung is too thick. Not long after entering, the Qiao family ran into Xiao Qiao who was alone with a basket.
Qiao Donghe looked at Xiao Qiao, and asked her sister in a low voice: "Dong Ying, do you think she really doesn't remember anything?"
Qiao Dongying chuckled: "I don't know if she really doesn't remember, anyway, I don't believe it!"
She has never seen a child who has more eyes than Xiao Qiao, and even many adults can't compare to her!
Xiao Qiao came over hesitantly, bit her lip and looked at Da Qiao and said, "I heard that you and I are twin sisters, is this true? Why do I feel that I look different from you?"
When they were just born, the two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, looked quite similar, but the older they got, the less they looked like each other, especially after Da Qiao took jade beads, the difference became even greater.
Da Qiao nodded and said, "It's true. Grandma said that many twins don't look alike, so there's nothing surprising about it."
"It turned out to be like this." Xiao Qiao looked suddenly enlightened, and then said weakly, "Sister, can I pick wild vegetables with you?"
Big Joe didn't answer this time.
She knew that her former sister had bad intentions towards her, but now the other party didn't remember anything, and she suddenly didn't know how to face such a younger sister.
At this moment, Huo Chi ran over and said, "Qiao Niannian, your grandma told you to come over!"
Since Huo Chi brought everyone into Xilinzi, the production team treated him much better. Although they still didn't let their children play with him, they no longer restricted him from walking around the village.
When Da Qiao heard his words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he responded softly: "I see, I'll go there now!"
After speaking, she left everyone and ran away.
As soon as Da Qiao left, Qiao Dongying didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Qiao at all. She dragged her sister and Xiao Wan'er away without saying a word to her from the beginning to the end.
Soon, there was no one around Xiao Qiao.
She stood there alone, clutching the basket, looking very pitiful.
When the other children saw it, they came over and asked her to pick wild vegetables together, and told the adults at home about it when they went back.
Everyone said that the brothers and sisters of the Qiao family were too indifferent and cruel, especially the elder sister, Da Qiao, who really had no sisterhood at all!
Of course, this is something for later.
Da Qiao ran not far away, but was grabbed by Huo Chi: "Come here."
Da Qiao walked over and raised his head and said, "Brother Huo Chi, my grandma didn't actually ask me to go over, did she?"
Huo Chi looked at her white and tender face, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch her and said, "You're smart! I called you here to tell you that I suspect that your sister is faking amnesia!"
