Chapter 16: Eating Meat and Being Beaten
After the photo was taken, the matter here was over, Zhu Xiaohua was worried that he would not be able to find himself after the Captain Xiao meeting, so he said goodbye to them, saying, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”
"Well, no, thank you." The girl said.
Zhu Xiaohua turned around and walked towards the farm compound, and just walked out not far away, the girl followed up again and asked, "By the way, people in the 21st century, after talking for so long, I still don't know what your name is?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua thought of his identity, waved his hand without looking back, and said: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet, I am a prisoner who has chatted with you for a while, but is destined to be forgotten when I turn around, my name or something, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
The girl froze in place.
Tian Yuan and Tian Yu muttered quietly: "What a strange person." ”
Zhu Xiaohua smiled slightly, pretending not to hear, and continued to walk forward.
When he was about to reach the gate of the compound, he heard a girl's voice behind him, "In this case, I hope you are doing well, and there will be a time later." ”
Zhu Xiaohua raised his hand again and waved it in the air, counting it as a response. His figure quickly entered the compound.
He waited for more than an hour in Captain Xiao's office, and the people who had dismissed the meeting came out one after another, and the people who came to inspect also left in jeeps.
The farm gradually returned to its former tranquility.
After a long time, Captain Xiao pushed the door in and sat down with a solemn face.
Zhu Xiaohua asked: "How was the meeting, and did you reach a conclusion?" ”
Captain Xiao shook his head: "It's not good, but now we have to wait for the decision from above." These days, over there in the brick kiln, you don't have to go anymore. ”
Zhu Xiaohua nodded.
In the following days, everyone was on the farm, basking in the wheat and sun, and suddenly idle.
On the fourth day, Captain Xiao took out forty yuan from the three hundred and forty yuan to improve the food for everyone, and these people finally saw some meat in their meals, and they were all excited.
"It's rare, after feeding the pig for so long, there is finally pork to eat."
Tang Yimin held the bowl and squatted in the corner, looking unproductive.
A few tables were temporarily set up in the farm compound, and Zhu Xiaohua sat at the table with the others to eat. On each table was a large pot full of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, the first time he had seen meat here.
In the past, I ate too much fish and meat, and I didn't feel anything.
After coming here, I had white flour steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and soup every day, without any oil and water, and I was hungry every day. Now I eat a bite of fatty meat, the meat is tender and tender, and my mouth is full of oil, and I only feel an indescribable satisfaction.
He just wondered how he had never found meat so delicious before.
The others sat at the table, their faces flushed, and their expressions were extremely enjoyable.
Someone said, "It's been a long time since we've eaten meat, almost a year." I remember eating a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year last year. Only a few tablets per person. ”
"Don't say we don't have meat to eat, even Captain Xiao and those guards haven't seen what meat looks like for more than half a year."
Niu Jiefang squatted beside the pigsty with a rice bowl, stared at the lively crowd in the compound, and licked his shriveled lips. Yesterday the pig ran away, and two hunters had a cut on their backs, and they were bleeding, and according to the previous punishment system, he naturally had no meat to eat.
He simply stayed away, out of sight and out of mind.
Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang were looking forward to the report, but someone from above knocked down Zhu Xiaohua, but they didn't expect that after a trip from above, there was no wave at all.
So far, Zhu Xiaohua has only been asked to stop burning bricks, and there are no other further punishment measures.
Regarding Brother Huo's accidental death, no clear conclusion was given above. After all, it was just an accident during labor, and it happened when Huo Ge beat others, and it was indeed a bit difficult to rely on Zhu Xiaohua.
The two of them sat at the outermost table, eating quietly.
"Brother Zhu, the two brothers of the Zhang family betrayed you, do you want to beat them up and teach them a lesson?"
A fierce-looking prisoner said.
This man is in his forties, his name is Wu Zhi, he has been in labor camp many times, and he is a habitual offender. didn't make any big mistakes, but often fought with the people when they disagreed. even beat his own father and mother.
He recently saw Zhu Xiaohua gaining power, and tried his best to stammer. When he burned bricks in the Luoshui Village kiln factory, he worked hardest, but he made a lot of contributions to the brick burning.
Zhu Xiaohua was noncommittal, this kind of thing, he naturally couldn't nod his head and agree. And on that day, Zhang Yang was pulled in front of him and warned him solemnly.
At such a time, it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
Zhu Xiaohua said: "I naturally won't agree to this kind of thing." However, if there is a personal vendetta between you, I can't control it. ”
Wu Zhi instantly understood.
He made eye contact with the three people around him, two of them walked towards the dormitory, and the other went to the dining table where Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang were located. The man picked up the large pot of pork and cabbage on the table and walked towards the dormitory.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhang Qing saw that this person had taken away the meat on their table, and he was instantly anxious.
But the man did not stop and said, "Angkor wants to take it to the dormitory." ”
"Isn't there meat on your table, why do you have to serve me at this table?" Zhang Yang was also anxious.
But the man did not answer, but went straight to the dormitory.
The two brothers, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, followed behind, and said, "My day, then we will also go to the dormitory to eat." If you want to steal our meat, no way! ”
Although Zhu Xiaohua never squatted in prison in his last life, he has watched a lot of such film and television dramas. Seeing the actions of these people, he instantly understood what Wu Zhi's group was going to do.
Zhu Xiaohua put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and shouted: "Alas, the meat is finished." Xiao Ding and I went to the cafeteria to have a look and asked the master to make a few more pots. ”
Xiao Ding at the young woman's table next door blushed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, followed out neatly, and replied, "Okay, Brother Zhu." ”
Before Zhu Xiaohua and Xiaoding arrived at the door of the cafeteria, they heard the dormitory door "bang" shut, and then there was a messy "knock" sound inside, mixed with the shouts of the two brothers, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang.
Xiao Ding couldn't help but be curious and wanted to turn his head to look.
Zhu Xiaohua urged her and said, "These people are grabbing meat to eat in the dormitory, there is nothing to look at, let's go." ”
Xiao Ding still said curiously: "Grab meat to eat, why do you make the sound of your head hitting the wall?" ”
Zhu Xiaohua said: "Probably the meat fell into the corner of the wall, these people squatted on the ground to grab the meat, and then hit their heads against the wall." ”
Xiao Ding is not stupid, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, her eyes flashed, and said: "What you said is not right, it doesn't look like the meat fell to the ground, but it looks like when they grabbed the meat, they pulled their hands and let go, and then someone's head hit the wall." ”
She said as she gestured.
Zhu Xiaohua smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, it's so smart." You've guessed it. ”
The two of them stayed in the cafeteria for more than 20 minutes with the chef who cooked.
When he came out again, he saw Zhang Qing, Zhang Yang, Wu Zhi and other five people standing neatly at the foot of the steps. Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang had blue noses and swollen faces, bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and half of the uneaten fat on the clothes on their chests.
The two guards were talking to them with serious expressions.
"Because of a few slices of meat, you can make it like this? Say, Which of you will be the first to pick the head? ”
The five stood silently at the foot of the steps.
When the guard saw Zhu Xiaohua coming, he said in an unkind tone: "Zhu Xiaohua, did you instruct them to do it?" You're trying to crack down on publicity, aren't you? ”
The guards seemed to see through everything.
