Chapter 1 The New Lady
It was dog days, and at the hottest time, even in the evening, the hot people couldn't sit still, and ran outside to cool off.
On the barn of the Mengjiang Production Brigade, there are already many people sitting at this moment, holding pu fans, fanning the wind and chatting at the same time.
It's also the most laid-back time of the day.
"Hey, haven't you heard, when I went down to the ground this morning, the new female intellectuals fainted in the sun!"
Usually where there are women, there is gossip, and one of the gossipy women is the first to throw out a message.
The second gossip woman immediately followed, "What is that Zhou Niannian's name?" Tsk, tsk, I heard that her family is a well-known high-ranking official in the capital. ”
The third gossip woman pouted: "What's the use of high-ranking officials, it's not the same as being thrown to work in our poor and remote place." ”
The woman who was the first to throw out the news gloated and chuckled: "Who said it wasn't, what's the use of this high-ranking official's daughter now, she can't pick it up with her hands, she can't lift it on her shoulders, she is delicate." ”
"It's just that I went to work in the field for less than an hour and passed out, and I was still carried back. ”
The second gossip woman leaned forward with a look of disdain: "I also heard that she has been lying in the dormitory for a day, and she hasn't eaten lunch, and she is still a girl at home, and she doesn't eat lunch, and no one sends it to her." ”
The third gossip woman stepped forward and said: "No, who said that no one sent it, isn't there one?"
After that, he smiled and greeted the girl who came in front of him: "Wen Jing, go and deliver food to the newcomer? ”
The girl who walked in front of her was about eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a white porcelain jar in her hand, slender and tall, with a white face, and smiled shyly when she heard the words: "Aunt Li, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Zhang, have you all eaten?" I went to deliver food to Nian Nian, she was weak, and she didn't eat much at noon. ”
After that, he walked slowly over the barn floor, and did not forget to say hello and chat with the people on the barn field, winning a lot of admiration.
"If you want me to say that this girl is still quiet, she is beautiful and capable. ”
"No, the little girl earns a lot of work a year. ”
"I don't think the newcomer can earn a few jobs, and he can't even support himself. ”
Li Wenjing listened to the discussion behind her, tightened the rice jar in her hand, and walked more calmly, she has always been the object of praise and praise from the production team, and she also enjoys the feeling of being praised and praised with peace of mind.
Walk through the grain field, bypassing two houses, behind which a row of rudimentary adobe houses is revealed.
Li Wenjing walked into the last room at the end, gently pushed the door in, and shouted, "Nian Nian, are you there? I'm here to bring you food." ”
There was silence in the room.
Li Wenjing's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and he blinked, before he could adapt to the darkness in the room.
She put the white porcelain jar on the table in the middle of the room with her memory, took out a match, lit the oil lamp, turned around and saw the slender figure lying on the bed, and couldn't help but say: "I miss you and scare me, I thought you ran away!"
The girl lying on the bed moved, sat up and stretched, she casually pulled her long black thick hair behind her, tied it into a ponytail, and said meaningfully: "You can't talk nonsense, I went to the countryside to receive labor education, where can I go?"
Li Wenjing looked at the girl's calm black eyes, and her face was a little curtled for a while: "I didn't mean that, I ......"
Zhou Niannian interrupted her with a smile, "I know you didn't mean that, what are you going to eat tonight?"
After that, he walked to the table, opened the jar on the table, and saw a dry and hard sweet potato steamed bun in it by the dim light, and under the steamed bread was fried beans.
She turned around and went to the basin in the corner of the wall to wash her hands, poured some hot water into the rice bowl, then tore up the sweet potato steamed buns, soaked them in the vegetable soup, and ate them slowly.
Li Wenjing looked at her swift movements in astonishment, this, is this still the same Zhou Niannian who has just been here for two days and has complained countless times?
Zhou Niannian is an educated youth who came to join the queue yesterday, and I heard that his family is a high-ranking official in the capital, and he committed an accident, and the whole family was dismissed and sent to the countryside for reform.
Zhou Niannian was pampered and raised in the capital, and he never suffered a little, and now he was sent to a remote place like Zezhou County, which was naturally bitter.
On the first day she came, she took a tractor to the commune to report for duty, and then carried the salute herself and walked to the production brigade of Mengjiang Village.
Then I saw the adobe walls in the village, the broken yard, and the food I ate, and the whole person collapsed, and kept complaining and wiping tears.
When he went to work in the field for the first time this morning, he was directly sunburned in the field, and it became a joke of the entire brigade for a while.
She has been eating with Zhou Niannian since yesterday, and Zhou Niannian has to complain almost every time she eats, and then wipe two handfuls of tears.
But Zhou Niannian in front of him was unhurried with a mouthful of steamed buns, a mouthful of vegetables, and an elegant appearance, and Li Wenjing, who was watching it, suddenly had an illusion.
Could it be that the dishes she served to Zhou Niannian were not from the same pot as the ones she ate?
Li Wenjing was stunned, and Zhou Niannian had already finished eating the steamed buns and vegetables.
"Niannian, you.... You.... Do you think tonight's meal is to your liking?" she asked, sneeringly.
Zhou Niannian pursed his lips and smiled: "It tastes good!"
Li Wenjing's jaw almost fell in shock.
She obviously brought the food from the same pot, and she had just eaten those meals, which were indeed bland and tasteless, and Zhou Niannian actually said that the taste was not bad.
It can't be that the sun is too poisonous today to make her stupid, right?
"Nian Nian, you..... Are you alright?" she looked Zhou Niannian up and down worriedly.
The girl opposite sat on the stool, tilted her head, her white and tender fingers carelessly combed her long dark hair, under the dim oil lamp, the girl's eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her skin had a jealous crystal whiteness.
This is clearly the new delicate girl!
Li Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief slightly, leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "Niannian, in fact, you don't have to force yourself, if you really feel that the food is unpalatable, it's not that there is no other way." ”
The girl flickered her fingers, raised her head suddenly, and her big dark eyes shone brightly: "Really, Sister Wenjing, what can you do?" ”
Look, just now I said that the food was delicious and it was really pretended, Li Wenjing put her mind at ease, and her delicate brows wrinkled, so she wrung her fingers in embarrassment.
Zhou Niannian moved a stool and sat down in front of her, took her hand, and asked a little eagerly: "Sister Wen Jing, what can you do?" ”
Li Wenjing still wanted to speak and stopped, Zhou Niannian pouted, a little angry: "Good sister, if you really have a way, just tell me, I have almost vomited in the big canteen in the past two days." ”
