Chapter 9: The Turning Point
For four or five days in a row, Wang Li left after eating at night, and did not stay to wash at all, and was stopped by Wang Mei and always used not being late for class as an excuse, and Wang Aiguo also did the same, and ran away after eating, and in the end, every night, there were old couples and Wang Mei left at home.
As the patriarch, it is impossible for Wang Laozhuan to touch housework; As a mother, Lin Guizhi has been used to calling her children for ten years, and a lot of housework has long been out of her hands, so the rest of Wang Mei has to wash dishes and brush pots, sweep the floor and wipe the table every night.
At first, she wanted to be lazy, but Lin Guizhi, who was usually used to the crisp and neat work speed of her second daughter and younger daughters, couldn't help but open her mouth to scold when she saw Wang Mei procrastinating. In the past, Wang Mei must have curried favor with her mother and then pushed things off, but now Wang Laozhuan is still staring at her, and there is no one in the family who can make her shirk, so she has to do it reluctantly.
wanted to wait for Wang Li and the others to come back to get the anger back, but they were rushed to bed by their parents early - kerosene also costs money to buy, where can it be wasted.
Not to mention during the day, they couldn't move under Wang Laoshuan's nose at all. But Wang Mei is not in a hurry, her father can't look at her so much, and after this time, it is not the same as before, and when the time comes, it will be up to her to see how she cleans up those disobedient dead people. She didn't know that her siblings not only stopped working at night, but also planned to give her all the work during the day.
Wang Li was quite puzzled these days, she thought that Zhao Bingcheng and Wang Mei had something, Zhao Bingcheng saw that Wang Mei was not in class, at least he would ask their sisters about it. In fact, Zhao Bingcheng didn't seem to have noticed that Wang Mei didn't come to class from beginning to end, which shows that either Zhao Bingcheng hasn't taken a fancy to Wang Mei, and Wang Mei was amorous before; Either Zhao Bingcheng is pretending to be and doesn't want to attract attention.
What really caught Wang Li's attention was Sister Xiaomei. On the first day that Wang Mei didn't come, Wang Li met Sister Xiaomei at the intersection of the township, they were waiting for Wang Mei, and after knowing that Wang Mei would not come again, they didn't say anything, but Aunt Lamei looked at Sister Xiaomei.
Wang Li felt that something was wrong.
In the next few days, she paid attention to Sister Xiaomei from time to time, and such an observation really made her realize that Sister Xiaomei was circling around Zhao Bingcheng unnoticedly, and Zhao Bingcheng was also paying attention to Sister Xiaomei very vaguely.
It may be that there are a lot of people, and there is Aunt Lamei's enthusiasm on the side to compare, most of the time, it can't be seen that Sister Xiaomei will be more enthusiastic when she faces Zhao Bingcheng, not to mention that Wang Mei's move to Zhao Bingcheng's side is in front of her, no one thinks that Sister Xiaomei treats the four teachers separately, and she will not notice that Zhao Bingcheng will smile at Sister Xiaomei when she is not noticed, that smile is not perfunctory to others, but a real laugh.
It turns out that Zhao Bingcheng is the reason why Sister Xiaomei insists on attending classes every day, and it turns out that Sister Xiaomei is Zhao Bingcheng's goal.
Wang Li really doesn't understand, whether it's Sister Xiaomei or Wang Mei, why do they all fall in love with Zhao Bingcheng? What good does this person have besides being a high school student and being tall?
It's not very neat to work in a few educated youths, I can't earn too much work, and I won't move around much with the people in the house, and the popularity in the house is not as good as that of several other educated youths, and I dress up cleaner than girls every day.
What is the use of living here, not earning a job, and not having a good popularity? Do you rely on dressing up neatly every day? It's not as good as Chen Laosan, short is short, ugly is ugly, but he can make money, and his popularity is good, at least he won't suffer hardships with him.
In her previous life, after Wang Mei got married, she lived a life of lack of oil and salt, and she always went back to her parents' house to eat and drink, and she also had the face to make it.
Wang Mei still can't figure it out, but she doesn't plan to figure it out, life is always lived by herself, whether it's good or not, as long as she doesn't drag others down, she is happy.
Observing this, Wang Li felt that she had to do something when Zhao Bingcheng was not interested in Wang Mei, not to mention letting Wang Mei die, at least let Wang Mei know that Zhao Bingcheng didn't look down on her at all.
But she didn't plan to say it herself, saying it would make Wang Mei even more angry, and she planned to let her father come out.
Maybe God helped, and before she could find a chance to tell her father about it, something big happened in the township. A young intellectual, Pan Yan, a subordinate of the Red Flag Brigade, will not come back after returning home from family leave! That's not all, he had already talked about marriage with a girl from Pan Yan before, and he had already eaten the marriage wine, and he originally said that he would get the certificate when he came back from visiting relatives, but he didn't come back!
That's not bad, what's worse is that the custom here is that getting engaged is basically the same as getting married, and this unlucky girl is now pregnant!
As soon as this incident came out, the educated youths in ten miles and eight towns were sad. Female intellectuals are better, after all, women in the world are at a disadvantage of being bullied, and now people don't know how many girls and intellectuals abandon their husbands and children like male intellectuals in the tide of returning to the city, and they will be treated more tolerantly. As for the male intellectuals, they are all Chen Shimei, and they are guarded by the parents who have girls in the family.
Wang Li found that Sister Xiaomei did not continue to attend the literacy class, Aunt Lamei insisted for two more days and did not go, and Alan disappeared as soon as the news came out, and the entire Wang family hut, only the three sisters and three girls continued.
The hearts of the houses continued to fluctuate, and this morning, Wang Li followed Wang Lao Bolt to clean up the pigsty, planning to talk to her father.
"Dad, I've watched it these times, that Zhao Bingcheng is not interesting to Wang Mei, and what people like is Sister Xiaomei." As soon as Wang Mei opened her mouth, Wang Lao was startled.
"It's all true?" Wang Laozhuan said, feeling a little uncomfortable, that is, he was happy that his daughter was out of danger, and he was afraid that Xiaomei would be harmed by Zhao Bingcheng, that was always the girl in the house, and she saw the big one since she was a child.
Wang Li looked at her father's tangled look, and probably knew what he was thinking, and said, "Sister Xiaomei doesn't go to class now, Zhao Bingcheng goes around in front of us every day, and wants to ask if you want to ask." It is estimated that Sister Xiaomei will not be with him now. I'm afraid that he won't have Sister Xiaomei, and if Wang Mei wants to come to him again, he will follow Wang Meimei. ”
"How old are you, and you said these words? Don't talk about it in front of anyone in the future! The girl's family, pay attention, Zhao Bingcheng asked you, don't you say anything, don't you know? Wang Laozhuan listened to Wang Li's words, and was worried that the eldest daughter would be disobedient, and he was afraid that the second daughter would say something outside.
Now the top priority is to bring the eldest daughter over, but she can't be harmed by those educated youths. He said, these educated youths from other big cities are not honest, no, they have harmed the girl, patted their butts and left, but how can the girls who stayed behind live in the future.
Wang Li told her father about the matter, and she put it down for the time being. This kind of thing has to be done by her father, what she wants to do now is to beat the king and love the country!
There was no work in the afternoon, and this boy ran to the side of the house to play with the other boys who were about the same age, and when he came back, he brought back a snake with a thick arm! This group of bear children said that it was a hibernating snake dug out of a rabbit hole. After knocking the snake to death with a stone, he took a thick stick, wrapped the dead snake around the stick, and scared people everywhere in the house.
When the people dispersed, Wang Li beckoned Wang Aiguo to go home. But seeing these bear children throwing the dead snake to the ditch like that, Wang Li's eyes were green, and she dragged Wang Aiguo with her, and when everyone else left, Wang Li secretly instructed Wang Aiguo to get the snake home.
"Sister, what do you want this for? I'm afraid of death. Wang Aiguo unhappily took the stick and picked the snake, and followed Wang Li home.
Wang Li was still paying attention to see if anyone had found out that they had taken the snake away, and she whispered: "This is a cauliflower snake, and it is not poisonous, and the snake meat is delicious." It's been a long time since we've eaten meat, so we went back and chopped off our heads, peeled off the skin, and stewed them in a pot, so delicious! ”
Wang Aiguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly urged Wang Li: "Really, then let's go home quickly." "Their family hasn't tasted meat for half a year, and the last time I tasted it was in the summer, when her father secretly took him to touch the yellow eel in the field at night, the smell was so fragrant, and when I thought about it, my saliva was about to drip out.
Wang Li smiled, she has been reliving for more than ten days, and she has never eaten meat once, but she is greedy, but she used to eat meat every day, and she still only ate lean pork ribs.
