Bai Ling cried so miserably that even Wu Guihua was frightened.

Even though she was somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Ling, when faced with such a situation, Wu Guihua still brought the person into the house and closed the doors and windows tightly before asking her in detail.

"Bai Zhiqing, calm down and speak slowly."

Wu Guihua also poured Bai Ling a glass of water with a large piece of rock sugar in it.

Bai Ling curled up on the stool, feeling extremely helpless: "When I came back just now, Jiang Lei pulled me aside and said he wanted to marry me. He also said that if I didn't agree, he would shout outside that I had already... I was so scared, and he even wanted to hug me, but I didn't want to..."

Bai Ling couldn't help but shudder: "He also smashed the tree and looked like he wanted to hit me..."

Wu Guihua was angry when she heard this. As the director of the Women's Department, she couldn't stand men hitting each other, especially such a low-class man.

She was so angry that she was about to get up and go find the captain. Jiang Lei's behavior was just like that of a beast.

Wu Guihua: "Just wait, I will definitely seek justice for you! Our Seventh Brigade cannot tolerate people with such behavior!"

Wu Guihua stood up hurriedly and prepared to deal with Jiang Lei.

Bai Ling was dumbfounded.

No, how is this different

She expected that Wu Guihua would persuade her to keep quiet, so she could take the opportunity to make some requests. For example, she could change her job and stay away from Jiang Lei. Or, considering her sadness, she could be given some special treatment.

She didn't intend to beat Jiang Lei to death all at once.

Bai Ling is not stupid. If she nails Jiang Lei to the ground, she will inevitably be gossiped about. That would be a loss. Her ideal situation is to show Jiang Lei's harassment and obsession to the outside world, and she is afraid to avoid him. She can gain sympathy from others, and also get close to Pengcheng naturally.

Men all have a dream of being a hero, and with Jiang Lei who loves him like crazy, it is safe for him to win Yu Pengcheng. If necessary, he can save the beauty once or twice, and everything will be done smoothly.

She didn't intend to break up with Jiang Lei all of a sudden. After all, she knew how much money she had spent on Jiang Lei. If she broke up with Jiang Lei, he would definitely hold on to that little money.

So Bai Ling decided to start with Wu Guihua. She would not show up herself and let Wu Guihua separate herself from Jiang Lei. This way, she would not have to open up to Jiang Lei and avoid Jiang Lei getting angry and biting back.

But Bai Ling could never have imagined that just after she made the start, Wu Guihua actually said she wanted to go find the team leader!

From the sound of his voice he seemed to be planning to make a scene!

Bai Ling quickly said, "Director Wu, he didn't do anything to me. He just said he wanted to marry me... and I didn't agree, so he smashed the tree."

Wu Guihua said firmly: "Bai Zhiqing, you don't have to do this. Even if there is something wrong, it doesn't matter. This is a new society, not the old days. Even if this man did something beastly, you don't have to marry him! People like him are committing crimes and should be sent to the detention room to eat free meals!"

Bai Ling was very upset. She wanted to say that she had no intention of letting Jiang Lei have a free meal!

She couldn't understand why Wu Guihua was so stubborn. She, the person involved, didn't want to make a big fuss, so why did she insist on making a big fuss

Wu Guihua said righteously, "Bai Zhiqing, although I didn't have a very good impression of you before, we are both female comrades and we are on the same side. Don't be afraid, I will definitely stand by you. Jiang Zhiqing must be punished for his behavior. If he is not punished, he will become even more rampant in the future. Don't be afraid of rumors. If anyone in our team talks nonsense about you, just come to me and I will scold them to death."

Bai Ling: ... Thank you!

Bai Ling: "... Director Wu, there's really no need. I think Jiang Zhiqing just couldn't control his emotions for a moment. Otherwise, I'll talk to him later and talk it out."

Bai Ling complained bitterly. If she had known Wu Guihua would react like this, she should not have looked for her!

Damn it, she had clearly asked around before going to the countryside, and they said that in the countryside, people would just hold their noses and keep silent if they encountered such things. She asked an educated youth who happened to be back in the city to visit his relatives, and that person told her a lot of things, including that a female educated youth was taken advantage of by a second-rate guy in the countryside, and she had no choice but to marry that second-rate guy.

The educated youth who returned to the city also reminded her to be careful when going to the countryside.

Wu Guihua thought she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she kept persuading her.

"Bai Zhiqing, although our Seventh Brigade is poor, we will never allow such hooligans and bad elements to stay in the team. Don't be afraid..."

This was true. Because of the presence of Secretary Tian Youfu, the Seventh Brigade did not have as many trivial matters as in other brigades. Especially those old bachelors, Tian Youfu always kept an eye on them, fearing that they would do something shameless.

Wu Guihua tried to persuade her again and again, but Bai Ling just refused to give in.

"Director Wu, I thought about it again. Maybe Jiang Zhiqing didn't mean any harm... You see, he didn't hit me. He just begged me to marry him. I think it might not be that serious. I didn't control my emotions just now, and I made you worry..."

Wu Guihua finally figured out what was going on. She stared at Bai Ling, making her feel a little uneasy.

"Bai Zhiqing, I don't understand what you mean. Just now you said you were going to report Jiang Zhiqing for doing something bad to you. Now you say he just stopped you to talk to you. What's going on? Do you want to report me, or do you want me to do something? You cried as soon as you walked in, and you've been crying until now. You said you're fine, do you think I believe you?"

Wu Guihua was not a person who would beat around the bush by nature. She became a little irritated by Bai Ling's beating around the bush and spoke rudely.

Bai Ling felt cold in her heart: "No, I didn't report it, it's just that Jiang Zhiqing scared me a little... That's why I cried."

Wu Guihua: "...So you want me not to look for the captain?"

Bai Ling gritted her teeth and said, "I think I overreacted a little bit just now. It won't look good if I report this to the captain. After all, it hasn't come to that point. Besides, it won't be good for my reputation if I tell others about it."

Wu Guihua: "Not only can I not tell the captain, but I can't tell anyone else, right?"

Wu Guihua looked at Bai Ling, who was feeling guilty and short of breath, and wanted to ask, "Then why are you telling me this? Are you trying to make me angry and piss me off to death?"

Bai Ling: "I just want you to move me and Jiang Lei apart, and it would be best if we don't have to work next to each other... Well, if it's best, please talk to the educated youth team leader Yang Hong and arrange a male educated youth to work with me. I think Yu Zhiqing is a good choice. Otherwise, I'm afraid Jiang Zhiqing will come looking for me again."

Wu Guihua is not stupid. Looking at her like this, she knows that she can only listen to 50% of what this person says.

Jiang Lei was going to do something bad to her, but that was not the case. At most, it was a marriage proposal, but Bai Ling didn't want to agree. So now she was just looking for someone to use as a pawn.

Wu Guihua barely suppressed her anger and said, "Bai Zhiqing, I really don't understand you. If you want justice, I will definitely give it to you. But if you have other thoughts, don't tell me. I can't control the internal affairs of you Zhiqing. Yang Hong also lives here now. It's not troublesome for you to talk to her directly. Why are you looking for me? I am just a women's director and can't do anything else. What about the distribution of work? It's all in the hands of your team leader and team leader. I can't get a say. Let me ask you one last time, how are you going to deal with Jiang Zhiqing? Are you going to investigate? Or what?"

Bai Ling said with hatred: "I won't pursue it."

Wu Guihua immediately rolled her eyes and went out.

There's no need to talk to this person!

Wu Guihua left, and Bai Ling collapsed in her chair. She really didn't expect that her plan would fail right at Wu Guihua's door.

But this also reminded her that if she wanted to achieve her goal, she still had to be selective in her candidates.

Bai Ling acted quickly, and when the wheat was received in the middle, Yang Hong stepped out to separate Jiang Lei and Bai Ling. Jiang Lei's face was livid, and Bai Ling looked like she was afraid of him and was trying to avoid him.

So, Mai received the second half, and when Wang Ying went to work that day, she witnessed a small Qiong Yao drama.

The heroines in Qiong Yao dramas shed tears, as if they didn't have mouths. They just hid behind others, biting their lower lips, looking pitiful.

The roaring second male lead loudly questioned: "Bai Ling! You must give me an explanation! Are you willing to marry me or not?"

The members pricked up their ears. Wheat harvest is not only busy, but also tiring. Who can refuse a free show

The male protagonist of the "Heaven-dropping" series stepped forward and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't slander others out of thin air. Bai Zhiqing and you haven't confirmed that you're dating, but now you're forcing her to get married. Don't you think you're being too dirty?"

Jiang Lei: "Why didn't she date me? We were clearly dating before!"

Yu Pengcheng: "You are putting the reputation of lesbians on the spot by saying this."

Jiang Lei: "I won't tell you! It's because of you that she doesn't want to marry me!"

Yu Pengcheng: "Jiang Zhiqing, don't slander Bai Zhiqing and then slander me. I didn't do that."

This rare scene of two men competing for one woman was watched with great interest by Wang Ying, and also made Bai Ling, who was at the center of the storm, quite pleased with herself.

She pretended to persuade them to stop fighting: "Stop fighting over me. Jiang Zhiqing, I have always treated you as my brother. Thank you for your care all the time, but we are really not suitable for each other..."

Jiang Lei's eyes were red, and listening to Bai Ling's gentle voice was like a steel knife stabbing into his heart: "Jiang Zhiqing, I wish you can find your own love..."

Under the heavy blow, Jiang Lei let out a long roar towards the sky.

Wang Ying, members: …

The educated youth Zhang Ping was standing by, lowering her head as much as possible, and she asked Jiang Li quietly.

"Sister Jiang... can you please talk to Sister Yang... and assign the three of them to other teams?"

So embarrassing.

It's really embarrassing.

Not to mention Jiang Zhiqing and Bai Zhiqing, how come Yu Zhiqing suddenly became such a person

Zhang Ping tapped her toes on the ground: "Or transfer me away."

She had never been so embarrassed since she was eighteen.

Jiang Li looked at the three people's Shura field with difficulty, and whispered: "Be patient, I think they will be separated soon... Also, don't call me Sister Jiang."

Jiang Li looked unhappy: "You guys should call Jiang Lei Brother Jiang, so don't call me Sister Jiang."

If you don’t know this, you might think she has some relationship with Jiang Lei.

Zhang Ping pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Ying also looked at the small theater over there and sighed. If she had not been sure that Wang Lingling was reborn, seeing such a scene, she would at least have suspected that she had been transported to a Qiong Yao drama centered on these three people.

This is a standard plot.

And Jiang Lei, his behavior just now, wow, he has basically lost the right to seek a mate while in the countryside.

The brain is brand new and can definitely be sold for a good price.

Jiang Lei was distraught and was about to leave, dropping his sickle.

He is heartbroken.

Bai Ling fell in love with someone else and he was heartbroken.

Jiang Lei walked towards the accountant's house like a ghost.

He left, leaving behind a group of educated youth who were pointed at and criticized by their fellow villagers.

"What are these young people doing? Are they rehearsing?"

"What? It's just a quarrel. A serious quarrel."

"Wow, this girl is really capable. She actually made two young men quarrel over her."

"It's a pity that there was no fight..."

Yu Zhiqing listened to the discussion and his expression gradually turned ugly. Bai Ling shyly handed over her handkerchief and said timidly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you... I would really cry."

Yu Zhiqing straightened his chest and said, "It's my duty."

He paused and said, "Bai Zhiqing, I didn't explain it clearly to Jiang Zhiqing just now, so he may have misunderstood our relationship. I will explain it to him again after work today. Don't be afraid, we educated youth are a big family, and we will help each other. Since we have come to the countryside, we must contribute to society, so we can't be afraid of heavy work and put personal emotions above work. Jiang Zhiqing's behavior of striking because of bad mood is not advisable, and we can't learn from him. Food security is more important than Mount Tai. We must keep up with the footsteps of our fellow villagers and be a reliable and dedicated intellectual..."

Bai Ling: …

Bai Ling gritted her teeth and agreed, took back the handkerchief, and then began to swing the sickle.

Yu Zhiqing was still praising her: "Bai Zhiqing, that's it! We are the good sons and daughters of China. We went to the countryside to build our country. There is no high or low in occupations, and there is no distinction between struggle in the city and outside the city. You can do it..."

Help.

Bai Ling finally understood why Yu Pengcheng always kept to himself.

This guy's head is full of great truths!

Bai Ling kept moving her hands and didn't dare to stop.

She has broken up with Jiang Lei now, but Yu Pengcheng has not been taken over yet. She can't leave a bad impression on Yu Pengcheng.

Bai Ling's arms ached, and her waist could hardly stand up straight. Her hair was sticking to her forehead with sweat, but she couldn't show even a little bit of fatigue. Instead, she worked with everyone else with full energy.

You know, according to her previous temper, even if she wasn't lazy, she would trick other men into working for her.

Bai Ling groaned in her heart, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it.

Yu Pengcheng and Jiang Lei are two completely different people. She can't just copy and paste the same treatment she gave to Jiang Lei.

I can only continue working hard.

The little episode brought by the educated youth stayed on everyone's lips for several days, and some people were still talking about it with relish until the end of the wheat harvest.

There were even some annoying kids who were running around and performing at the same time.

"Bai Ling! You have to give me an explanation! Are you willing to marry me?"

"Jiang Zhiqing, don't slander others out of thin air."

The children were just picking up words, and the performances organized by Wu Guihua also greatly stimulated the children's desire to perform. They didn't know the love and hatred between the educated youth, they just picked up the words and learned them.

The adults were happy when they heard it, but the educated youth all looked as if they were constipated.

So shameful.

With these people around, the reputation of the educated youth in their Seventh Brigade has become bad.

The entire wheat harvest lasted nearly half a month. Fortunately, there were only two light rains during the period, but no heavy rain. The brigade harvested all the grain.

In half a month, except for Wang Ying, everyone else was tanned. But this year the brigade was kind and distributed a pig early, so each family had at least some money to cushion the problem, so no one was too tired.

As for injuries, many people were bleeding, either because their feet were pricked by wheat stubble or they were accidentally scratched by something in the ground. Some children were also injured while playing and had stomach problems while eating on the mountain.

Fortunately, they are all minor problems and not serious.

The brigade paid for the alcohol, and Wang Ying prepared some hemostatic powder herself. Both items were paid for by the brigade. Everyone was happy to have a place to deal with them.

After the last batch of wheat was harvested, everyone felt relieved.

In fact, after their brigade had received half of the grain, the surrounding brigade also began to collect grain one after another.

only…

"The wheat from the Fifth Battalion is not only sparse, but also seems to be quite barren."

"Alas, my cousin from my mother's family came to our brigade in the dark a few days ago and asked me to borrow food."

"You borrowed it?"

"No... The main thing is that our brigade hasn't distributed any food yet, how can we borrow it?"

"I don't think it's a good idea. How about we persuade Youfu to distribute the grain as soon as possible?"

"I think it's okay. Let's divide the food first, and we'll feel at ease."

"Let's go, let's go and tell Youfu to hand over the grain and distribute it!"

A group of people came in a great hurry, but they didn't know that Tian Youfu had already thought of this.

He was not a member of the commune. During this period, in addition to going to work, he also secretly borrowed Xu Shuang's bicycle to go for a ride. He did not go to faraway places, but just some of the nearby communes were enough to make him feel disappointed.

In the nearby communes, the crops of many brigades were in bad condition, only half to two-thirds of previous years. In the worse ones, only one-third of previous years were harvested.

Don’t underestimate this small one-third. Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood, and everyone depends on the income from the land.

One third is missing. Should we pay this year's grain? If not, should we pay it back next year? For the least paid batch, should we apply for relief grain later? Can we still apply for relief grain

Tian Youfu was glad that he had made a prompt decision to replant. The remaining grain of the brigade was almost overdrawn, and the brigade had to catch up. Although the grain of the brigade this year is less than last year, it is still at a normal level.

It's already a pleasant surprise.

Tian Youfu made the decision: "Divide! Submit what you need to hand in today, and we'll divide it in the dark tonight!"

He asked Wang Ying's family to borrow a flashlight: "Let's finish the division and settle the accounts sooner."

He was also afraid of having so much food stored in the warehouse.

So that day, the Seventh Battalion began to deliver and transport grain with great fanfare, and even Tian Youfu had to wait until later to go to the commune to report.

The commune didn't say anything, but Tian Youfu saw that the other party didn't seem happy, so he quickly finished his words and went back to the team.

The grain was delivered smoothly and distributed in the dark at night.

Anyway, it was a sunny day, with a big moon hanging brightly in the sky. Everyone was happy to share the food, and no one complained about it being late.

The distribution lasted until late at night, and the coarse grains in exchange for the fine grains that had been handed in had all arrived. All that should be distributed was distributed, leaving only a little in the warehouse, and the rest was distributed.

There were few people working in Wang Ying's family, so they didn't get much food. After Wang Ying and Xu Shuang discussed it, they finally paid the extra money in Wang Ying's name.

Food is always better than the dead money in your hand.

Wang Ying stored all the grain that was distributed. Tian Youfu might have felt that something was wrong, so he distributed the grain that should have been distributed twice this year in one go.

Suddenly they had a lot more food at home.

Wang Ying went down to the cellar and saw that it was full of various dried vegetables, dried meat, dry goods and grains.

She climbed up with satisfaction. The end of the world had cultivated in her a habit of hoarding goods. Just like now, she was happy to see so much food.

Wang Ying was happy, but Wang Lingling on the other side was furious.

As the wheat harvest approaches, people in both the city and the countryside have already noticed that something is wrong with this year's grain.

The amount of grain Wang Lingling hoarded was not much. After all, compared with those big speculators, she only hoarded a few thousand kilograms of grain.

However, when Wang Lingling arrived at Li's house and opened the door of the wing room, she was stunned.

The room that was originally packed full now has a small gap.

The small gap was originally where the white flour she collected was placed.

Wang Lingling has a small capital, so she carefully selected the coarse grains and fine grains she harvested. She stockpiled more coarse grains because, after all, when there was a food shortage in the city, everyone's first reaction would be to buy some coarse grains for emergency use.

Fine grains should be the best sellers in the black market. After all, those who dare to buy things in the black market are not short of money, or they must be short of oil, water and nutrition. Fine grains are definitely more nutritious than coarse grains.

But when the price of grains rises, the advantages of fine grains disappear. So Wang Lingling still mainly stocks coarse grains.

She stockpiled about 200 kilograms of white flour.

But what about now

The original white flour was actually missing more than half!

Wang Lingling was furious. She stared at her sister Wang Pingping, who had obviously gained weight recently, and the Li family, her eyes burning with anger.

"Give me an explanation! This is food that needs to be sold! You guys ate more than 100 kilograms of it!"

And it’s all fine grains!
