Chen Xuanxuan finished her meal with a heavy heart, then left without caring about the dishes on the table.
Deng Xingming also left in a hurry because he had to hurry back to the canal.
Deng Yunping looked at the dishes and chopsticks that the two men had dropped and sneered, "I cooked the meal, but you still want me to wash the dishes. Do you really think I'm your little slave?"
With a gloomy face, she threw her bowl and chopsticks on the table, turned around and walked out.
Chen Xuanxuan arrived at the chicken farm and found Qian Shulan was not there, and she felt relieved.
To prevent people from stealing eggs, there were people at the chicken farm. Chen Xuanxuan didn't go to sweep the floor, but went to the aunt who was feeding the chickens at the front.
The aunt was wearing a patched smock, which was dirty because she had been working there all year round.
In the past, Chen Xuanxuan would have stayed away long ago, but now she had to take advantage of Qian Shulan's absence to ask about Wang Liyong's matter, so naturally she couldn't care less.
"Auntie, I would like to ask you..."
Before she could say anything, Liu Yueqin turned around and looked at her with a gloomy face and expressionless expression, "Why haven't you swept the floor yet?" Then she used a stick to poke the earthworms in the pot.
Chen Xuanxuan was a little confused at first, but then she saw a lot of earthworms wriggling.
These earthworms, which are covered with various feces, are not only dirty, but also smell bad.
The worst thing is that earthworms, like snakes, are made of cartilage, which looks particularly scary.
She was so scared that she backed away, but because she was too excited, she sat down on the ground. Then she suddenly remembered that the ground was full of chicken shit. She immediately got up from the ground, and then saw the green and yellow chicken shit in the palm of her hand. She vomited the food she had just eaten.
Liu Yueqin turned her head to look at her and said coldly, "Hurry up and work. It's just a little chicken shit, but you are being so pretentious. You really think you are a big shot! You are educated youth who came to the countryside to support our construction, so you have to take the lead for us."
Liu Yueqin's man is Wang Lide, who likes to talk about these big truths all the time, so she can also say a lot of them because of what she has seen and heard.
Her third brother's wife said that these educated youth should not be spoiled. If you are polite to them, they will cause you big trouble.
Liu Yueqin felt bad when she thought that all junior and high schools were closed and her two grandsons couldn't even go to school. They were all just bored and she should bring them all to the countryside to farm and see if they could still make trouble.
Chen Xuanxuan was furious. She was in such a state, but they still urged her to work without any sympathy. How come she had never met a simple working peasant? These rural old ladies were more vicious than each other. Their hearts were more evil than each other!
She stamped her feet in anger, but she dared not argue with these local tyrants. She had to pinch her throat and smile at Liu Yueqin in a flattering way, "Auntie, my hands are dirty. I want to ask, where is the water here?"
Liu Yueqin said without even turning her head, "We carry this water bit by bit from the members' homes. It's so far away, do you think it's easy? If your hands are dirty, why use water? Wash your hands and go home."
Chen Xuanxuan was even more disgusted! Just when she wanted to say a few more nice words, Liu Yueqin turned around, her eyebrows almost raised, "Are you going to sweep the floor?" She pointed at the chicken shit all over the yard, "What's this mess? If you don't sweep it, be careful that the factory manager comes and I'll tell her."
This frightened Chen Xuanxuan so much that she didn't even bother to wash her hands. She just picked up a few leaves from a bush near the chicken coop and wiped her hands and back with them.
In the countryside, food is hard to buy because they can only receive 360 kilograms of food rations per year and all the rest must be handed over.
Coupled with the famine in previous years, people attach great importance to food and will not sell it to others easily.
Even if Chen Xuanxuan offered a high price, she couldn't buy it.
As for the high price of grain in the county, she didn't even dare to think about it. On the way here, there were militia guarding the intersections of all sizes to prevent speculation.
If she wanted to support herself, she could only rely on earning work points.
She didn't bother to ask about Wang Liyong, she just picked up the broom and started sweeping.
By the time Qian Shulan arrived, Chen Xuanxuan had already swept most of the floor.
Chen Xuanxuan thought she would not be criticized by her again, but Liu Yueqin came over and said, "She just started sweeping half an hour late."
Chen Xuanxuan threw the broom in her hand to the ground fiercely, turned around and glared at Liu Yueqin, "Why are you like this?" She had swept as she was told, so why should she tell on her
Liu Yueqin twisted her mouth, "Who are you? This is our factory director. She asked me to supervise your work. I don't report to her, so how can I favor you? I'm telling you, my young colleague, I think there's something wrong with your mind. You're being cunning, not working seriously, and not reflecting on yourself, so why are you blaming me as your supervisor?"
Chen Xuanxuan was so angry that she almost cried. She pointed at the two of them and said, "You are too bullying. I'm going to ask the team leader to make a decision for me."
She turned around angrily, and heard Liu Yueqin slapping her thigh and laughing, "Oh, my third sister-in-law, she wants to go to Xiaoquan to make the decision for her. I don't know if your words are effective, third aunt?"
Chen Xuanxuan, who had just taken two steps, suddenly stopped. She had forgotten that almost everyone in this production team had the surname Wang.
These people are all relatives of hers. If she goes to complain to the cadres, they will probably push her back and even criticize her.
Her arrogance suddenly deflated, and then she lowered her head and picked up the broom that she had thrown on the ground.
Qian Shulan snorted coldly, "If you want to work, do it well and don't do those weird things. There are many people vying to come and work in our chicken farm."
This is not an exaggeration. Working in a chicken farm is so easy.
Even if it is cleaning up chicken manure, although it looks dirty, it is just bending over and sweeping the floor. It is not tiring, and you can easily get ten work points.
It is much better than digging canals or weeding in the fields.
In order to ensure fairness and justice, Qian Shulan selected one or two people from almost every household.
Most people are responsible for raising chickens or hatching chicks, and the rest are either responsible for transporting chicken manure or helping to compost it for raising earthworms.
Because the scale of the chicken farm has become larger, Qian Shulan specifically selected those people who were good at composting and raising good earthworms, and set up a group just for them.
These people have relatively high work points, 15 a day. You should know that Qian Shulan, the factory director, only has 20 work points. They are considered high-paid.
When Chen Xuanxuan heard this, she was a little unconvinced at first. But after Qian Shulan left.
Other members who were in charge of raising chickens came over, and Chen Xuanxuan began to inquire about the chicken farm. Then she realized that what Qian Shulan said was true.
This job of sweeping chicken shit is really good.
An auntie said, "A while ago, I heard the factory director say that he wanted to recruit some sweepers, so I wanted my daughter to behave well and try to get selected. But who would have thought that once you educated youth arrived, the factory director would not choose anyone."
Another auntie rushed to say, "You can't blame Third Auntie for this. The brigade secretary pushed the matter into her hands. What can she do? I think she's been a little irritated these past few days." The auntie glanced back at Chen Xuanxuan and pouted in dissatisfaction, "Can't you just do your job properly? Look at you. You've pissed off Third Auntie! She has such a good temper, but you made her face turn blue!"
"That's right! I heard her scolding you early in the morning! Can't you just sweep the floor properly? It's not that difficult to sweep the floor. If you don't want to do it, let my kid do it!"
Chen Xuanxuan: “…”
She smiled and said, "I will definitely study hard."
The others looked better.
Chen Xuanxuan took the opportunity to ask about Wang Liyong.
The aunt looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you asking him?"
Chen Xuanxuan felt that she couldn't tell the truth. If the other party's family was poor, wouldn't they be able to take advantage of her if she came to claim her relatives without thinking? She rolled her eyes and made up an excuse, "I heard someone say that his wife is a tigress, and I want to ask if it's true."
Everyone frowned. Who was the big mouth that spread such nonsense
An auntie slapped her thigh and said, "Who told you that? Our Third Auntie has such a good temper, how can she be called a tigress? You are not holding a grudge against her just because she scolded you, are you deliberately slandering her?"
Another one also started to accuse, "Exactly, how can you be so mean. You actually ruined the reputation of our Third Aunt."
The more Chen Xuanxuan listened, the more she frowned. She was about to say that she was not talking about the third aunt, but then she thought, how many third aunts could this person have
She had a bad feeling and narrowed her eyes. "Wang Liyong's wife is the old...factory director?"
The aunt nodded.
Chen Xuanxuan was completely dumbfounded.
The old woman turned out to be Deng Xingming's biological mother. If he told the old woman that Deng Xingming was her son, she would probably compensate Deng Xingming well.
But considering how much the old woman hates him, would she instigate Deng Xingming to divorce
It's not impossible! Chen Xuanxuan thought about how the old woman had made things difficult for her because of Jiang Yuying, her goddaughter.
When she looked at her, the old woman's eyes were full of ice, as if she was a man-eating devil.
Chen Xuanxuan's heart suddenly sank. What should she do now
She couldn't bring herself to tell it.
As for why Chen Xuanxuan was sure that Deng Xingming would listen to Qian Shulan.
Chen Xuanxuan felt that since her aunt had her own son, she had not been so kind to Deng Xingming. Her aunt often told her privately that there was a difference between biological children and adopted children.
Deng Xingming should have noticed this, and he became a little distant from his aunt. If it weren't for the fact that his aunt had raised him from childhood, he would probably have abandoned her.
If Deng Xingming recognized his biological mother, would he still listen to his aunt and take good care of her? Chen Xuanxuan felt that it depended on Qian Shulan's methods.
Although she only stayed in the factory for most of the day, everyone in the factory was very respectful to Qian Shulan.
This person can become the factory director, she must be very skilled. Deng Xingming, who longs for maternal love, must be unable to resist after being eroded by her and the sugar-coated bullets.
When Chen Xuanxuan picked up the broom again, she felt like a deflated ball. Her only hope was gone.
She sat on the bed waiting for Deng Xingming to come back.
