Chapter Ninety-Nine: That's the Reality

When the two of them followed Rhubarb to the bottom of the cliff, they heard the sound of rustling overhead.

Immediately, the two little ones poked their heads out of the high platform, their eyes wide and curious, looking down.

It's probably the first time they've seen a human, and they don't know how to be afraid.

"Meow, meow......"

"Scared Lao Tzu, it turned out to be two kittens. I guess it's not a full moon yet." Wang Yanqiang put away his rifle speechlessly.

These two guys don't weigh half a pound yet, and shooting at them is a waste of bullets.

"What should we do, why don't we take it home one by one?" Wang Manyin was also a little ashamed.

Originally, he planned to blow up the wolf with a small bomb, but the wolf didn't get it, but instead blew up a wild cat and killed it, leaving two cat cubs behind. They are only a dozen centimeters long, and they should have only been open for a few days. If you don't care, you won't survive tomorrow morning.

"My family already has a cat. If you want to raise it, you can't get it back, but I guess you won't be able to raise it." Wang Yanqiang shook his head, not interested in the two little guys at all.

"I'll try," Wang Manyin said, stepping on the loess slope, carefully climbing towards the cliff side.

The two kittens are obviously not weaned, but their size is a fortune. It's really hard to feed if you can go back, and if you stay here, you will definitely die.

Seeing the strange creature approaching, the two kittens quickly stepped back.

It was only at this moment that Wang Manyin discovered that there was a soil hole on the platform, and I don't know what animal dug it, but it was occupied by a wild cat.

The two little ones don't know what to be afraid of. After Wang Manyin tried it a few times, he successfully caught them into the cloth bag.

He has already calculated that when he gets home, he will be fed some corn paste every day, and then get some egg yolks, which should be able to feed.

Then, he and Wang Yanqiang continued to look for the location of the rest of the small bombs.

All the way to the end, it's all over, and it hasn't even blown up a single hair.

"What are we going to do, are we going to keep it?" Wang Manyin asked out loud.

Now that the days are long, there is still some time before the sun goes down, and you can still wait in the mountains for an hour.

"Forget it, let's go back. Wild wolves are fine, we have left a smell in the cliff ditch, and they will definitely not come out anytime soon. I'll come back tomorrow." Wang Yanqiang shook his head.

"Then wait a minute, I'll go to the ditch and chop bundles of wood."

It's all coming, and you can't be empty-handed. When Wang Manyin entered the mountain, he deliberately brought a machete and a rope.

"You're really...... It won't stop for a while." Wang Yanqiang was speechless. When this person was not married, he was completely a ghost, too lazy to talk.

When I got married, I was like a different person.

Separated from Wang Yanqiang at the back of the village, Wang Manyin carried firewood and went home.

As soon as I arrived at the head of the village, I saw a tall figure standing on the edge of the cliff, which was my brother-in-law who went to the county seat to participate in the training two months ago.

Count the time, it's almost time to come back.

"Shao'an, the training is over?" Wang Manyin hurriedly said hello.

"Well, brother-in-law, I just got home in the afternoon...... Take Uncle Junhai's car back in the village." Shao'an replied and took the initiative to pick up the firewood burden.

Jin Junhai is also a capable person in Shuangshui Village, working as a truck driver at the city's post office. However, his mother-in-law and children still live in the village, so they will go back to the Shibijie commune every once in a while. ….

Sun Shaoan was a coincidence this time.

As soon as he chopped his brother-in-law and carried the firewood, he felt a sinking on his shoulders and said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, you have 200 catties of firewood, right?"

"Almost," Wang Manyin sat down on a stool and took a breath, then handed the cloth bag to the orchid, "We went to the mountains to blow up wolves, and we blew up a wild cat. Leave two kittens to be pitiful, and I'll bring them back, and you can feed them something."

"You're stronger than I am." Shao'an put the firewood away and couldn't help but save a sentence.

"What did the village say?"

"Uncle Futang has explained it over there, and he is also a worker and a farmer. My salary of 20 yuan a month is all handed over to the production team, and 300 points of work are recorded every month according to the full work."

"Isn't that a penny left? Feelings you went to training for two months, blindly busy. We also have to bring our own rations, which means that we can earn money for the production team. Last year, only 4 cents were allocated for one work in Shuangshui Village, less than 4 cents for 10 cents, and 12 yuan a month......" Orchid was very indignant for her younger brother.

Her arithmetic is getting better and better, and she blurts out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

"Can it be the same, you can earn 300 points a month in the production team? Besides, how many people can't get this kind of opportunity." Wang Manyin also replied helplessly.

No way, the reality is such a situation, and it doesn't just make sense.

Before the peasants officially "jumped out of the farm", everything was constrained by the production team, and the same was true for both workers and farmers. Like when Wang Manyin opened a sales agency, Wang Manho asked him to pay five yuan a month to the brigade, and he still had to agree.

Later, I gave a gift, and this fee was waived.

Shao'an does look like he has suffered a loss, but the account can't be calculated like this, and the salary will definitely rise slowly in the future. More importantly, there is an opportunity to become a regular worker.

"Well, brother-in-law is right, I think so too. Don't worry about temporary gains and losses just yet." Shaoan also agreed.

"I just feel like I'm at a loss," Orchid added.

These days, through reading and learning, her horizons have also broadened a lot. Of course, the reason is understood, but I am still a little uncomfortable in my heart.

At this time, Wang Manyin explained, "Orchid, you hurry up and see what is in the house and get two vegetables...... Shao'an and I have a good drink in the evening."

"No need, brother-in-law, I asked our mother to prepare when I came here just now, and you and my sister will go to the house to eat. I haven't been at home for the past two months, and the family depends on you to take care of it." Shao'an hurriedly spoke.

When he returned, he had already heard from his father that his sister and brother-in-law would bring some food to their home every once in a while. Throughout the spring of this year, his family's food has not been cut off.

Just wait for the past, and pay tribute to my brother-in-law with two glasses of wine.

"It's okay," Since he had already prepared, Wang Manyin didn't refuse.

It's not too early to watch, they leave rhubarb to watch the house. Lock the door and run towards Shuangshui Village.

When she got home, Orchid helped her mother cook, while Man Yin, her father-in-law and brother-in-law sat on the kang and chatted. As soon as he said a few words of gossip, he heard the voice of his second father, Sun Yuting, outside the door.

"Brother, brother, I heard that Shao'an has come back from training in the city?!" The other party said and entered the courtyard with a big grin. Behind him, he was followed by his mother-in-law He Fengying.

These two people are now appearing, and they definitely smell it. ….

For the two of them, Wang Manyin looked down on them. They must be enthusiastic about the things in the village, but their own life is like a coward, and they all rely on their father-in-law to help.

And relying on a little power in his hands, he yells all day long.

If it weren't for the face of the old man, it is estimated that he would have been beaten up a long time ago.

"Man Yin and Orchid are also back...... Sun Yuting was unaware, and greeted warmly after entering the cave. Smelling the fragrance coming from the pot, he couldn't help but sniff.

"Second father, second mother, you are here." Wang Manyin got up helplessly.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you can only endure it, the other party is an elder after all.

What's more, this is his father-in-law's house, and it is not his turn to call the shots.

Of course...... This is without touching Wang Manyin's bottom line. If he really annoys himself, he will let the other party know that there is not only one hammer king in Shao'an!

Shao'an originally planned to talk to his brother-in-law about some serious things, but now that there are two more outsiders, there is no way to say some things, and he can only gossip casually during the banquet.

Eat ***, seeing that the time is not early, Wang Manyin and Orchid said goodbye.

Shao'an immediately got up and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll send you."

After walking a distance from the entrance of the village, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother-in-law, I have already gone to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the afternoon, and Director Guo asked us to use the warehouse to set up a new pesticide and fertilizer factory. There were only two technicians, and two helpers were also dispatched. I look at the production conditions, I estimate that it is enough, and it will definitely not be a qualified product......

"What, full of silver, Shao'an won't make any mistakes, right?" Hearing her brother say this, Orchid opened her mouth worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay," after comforting his mother-in-law, Wang Manyin said again, "After you pass, follow what I said last time, do more things and talk less." In addition, tomorrow night, let's go to Director Guo's place......

It doesn't matter if the promotion of new pesticides and fertilizers fails, the key is to find opportunities to stay in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"yes, I know." Shao'an nodded.

***

When I got home, the orchid was busy boiling water and boiling the kang.

Wang Manyin always felt that he had forgotten something, sat on the chair and thought for a while, and patted his head: "Orchid, what about the two cat cubs?"

"When we went out, I was locked in a cave. I was afraid that they would be cold, so I deliberately got some firewood and grass." The orchid looked towards Yulao, but found nothing.

"Won't you sneak out through the crack in the door?" Wang Manyin hurriedly came to the sidelines and soon heard a low meow from the kennel.

Boy...... Is this treating rhubarb as a relative? By the moonlight, Wang Manyin looked at it twice and put his mind at ease.

Rhubarb was too smart to understand that the owner treated the two cats differently, so he didn't kill them as mice.

With Rhubarb to help take care of him, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

Orchid's study enthusiasm has been rising lately, and when she finishes freshening up, she neatly packs up her bed and then takes out her textbook.

Wang Manyin was lying on the kang, not knowing how to describe his mood, so he could only ask, "Orchid, it's a little late today, let's read a book tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy, you can sleep first." I don't read all day, and I always feel like something is missing."

Yes, seeing that his mother-in-law is studying so hard, Wang Manyin is not good at urging again.

I was too lonely to lie on the kang by myself, and I couldn't sleep, so I simply took the book and went to the side to pass the time.

It is said that Wang Manyin's consignment point received a lot of old books, many of which were not suitable for outside to read, and were put in the space.

In addition, when he went out to run errands a few times, he bought more than ten copies in the bookstore one after another, all of which belonged to the kind that was very characteristic of the times.

After turning a few pages, Wang Manyin lost interest again.

There's no way, he's used to seeing all kinds of wild imaginations on the Internet in later generations, and he really can't stand it.

In the end, I chose a copy of Mr. Lu Xun's "The Scream".

Wang Manyin had also read this book a few times before, and each time he only read a few paragraphs and put it down, feeling too heavy and difficult to understand.

But in order to accompany the orchid, he also fought.

Slowly, I calmed down.

After reading one article, Wang Manyin really found a little feeling...... I have a chill in my back.

It's as if someone has been holding a knife against it.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a character who can leave his name in the history books. Sometimes a simple sentence makes sense.
