Chapter 28: Eating Sugar

"The autumn harvest will be the day after tomorrow, everyone try to rest as much as possible, meet the autumn harvest, and dismiss the meeting."

After the meeting, Luo Jingyan grabbed a large handful of fruit candy and put it in the boys' dormitory in order to thank the male intellectuals for taking care of Luo Changtian, and invited the male intellectuals to eat.

"Luo Zhiqing, you are too polite." Tong Jianxin said: "We are all a whole, we should take care of Xiao Luo Zhiqing." ”

Luo Jingyan nodded: "Tong Zhiqing is right, but I want to express my heart, and you don't shirk." ”

Everyone laughed, but the expression on Zhao Wensong's face was a little unnatural, and he didn't eat the candy that Luo Jingyan took.

Luo Jingyan returned to the house, came back and grabbed a handful and put it in the girls' dormitory, and the female intellectuals in the province had opinions about her, especially the five old intellectuals.

"Jingyan, you're too polite." Shen Ruyi said with a smile.

Lin Shanshan was self-aware, she didn't take Luo Jingyan's candy, and Du Yinan didn't eat it, which was exactly what Luo Jingyan wanted.

Song Yinglan smiled: "This little educated youth is too hearted." ”

went down and took away half of the sugar, and there were only eight or nine left, and Liu Huifang and Sun Tiantian were not happy to see it.

But this is Luo Jingyan's sugar after all, they can't say anything, Liu Huifang took three pieces, enough for her own share, Sun Tiantian also took three pieces, and stuffed the remaining three pieces into Shen Ruyi's hands.

Luo Jingyan didn't say anything, this time she saw Song Yinglan's character, and she was on guard, she couldn't let her take advantage of her in the future.

Song Yinglan was afraid that others would say something about her, so she said: "I see that these two newcomers don't eat it, and it's not a waste to keep it." ”

"Strong-skinned and fat-eating, this sentence is not false at all, but unfortunately, we don't have that kind of cheekiness." Liu Huifang said yin and yang.

Song Yinglan knew that she was at a loss, but she was thick-skinned, didn't say anything, and put the sugar in her pocket.

When everyone was resting, Luo Jingyan went to check outside the small room in the courtyard, the house was made of adobe, the wooden door was dilapidated, but it was still usable, and the old-fashioned windows, even the paper pasted on them were rotten.

Through the window, you can see that the innermost part is covered with a thick layer of soil, and there is a clay kang in the innermost part, and there is a wooden box with ash next to it.

She wondered, since the house was uninhabitable, why was there no use for the things in it?

She found Shen Ruyi and asked, "Sister Ruyi, there is a small room over there, why is it empty?" Although the roof is broken, it can be inhabited if it is repaired. ”

Shen Ruyi's complexion did not change much, as if he was accustomed to this kind of question.

She whispered in Luo Jingyan's ear: "Because the female intellectuals who live in it died unexpectedly, no one dares to live." ”

Then, Shen Ruyi told Luo Jingyan the cause of the female intellectual's death.

"That room was built by herself at her own expense, but a year ago, she suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the river, and her body was dragged to the back mountain to be buried.

"Then why did she jump into the river? She must not have been very old when she died. ”

Shen Ruyi said: "The incident between her and Laizi in the village was seen by others, and she was pregnant with Laizi's child, and she didn't want to marry Laizi, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river." ”

Luo Jingyan was still puzzled, "Since she doesn't want to marry Laizi, she doesn't like Laizi, why do she want to get involved with Laizi?" ”

"I don't know about this, when someone from Zhiqing Point went to see the scene of the rape, she was indeed disheveled with Lai Zi and was doing something like that. But she said that someone harmed her, she said that the child in her womb belonged to the son of the branch secretary, no one believed her, and the branch secretary also charged her with a false accusation, and she committed suicide in a fit of anger. At first, we were all scared, afraid that her ghost would return to the house and want to move out, but the village would not be used to us building us a house again, and when we went to the villagers' houses, they felt that we had evil spirits in us, so they refused to take us in, so we could only secretly find the village goddess to exorcise the evil spirit, so everyone was not so afraid. ”

Luo Jingyan suddenly understood that the death of the female intellectuals in this house had something else to do with it, and it must have nothing to do with the village party secretary and his son.

No matter what the female intellectuals have done, the branch secretary and his son are not good things.

When she came, she had the idea of moving out to live, but if there was an empty house outside, I was afraid that some educated youths would have moved in and would not keep it for her.

In addition, the autumn harvest will soon begin, and there will definitely be no one to build a house, and after the autumn harvest, it will soon be winter, but I am afraid that the foundation will freeze before it is laid, and it will not be able to build a house if it is frozen, and it must wait until the spring of next year.

There is time to repair this house, and it is not that there are people who have died here, so she is not afraid.

Deal with it for a while in it, and then move out after building a house outside in the spring of next year.

Shen Ruyi reminded her: "Because this incident will affect the reputation of the brigade, the branch secretary gave the village a death order, no one is allowed to talk nonsense outside, and link this matter with his son, it can only be said that the female intellectuals accidentally fell into the water and drowned, if anyone leaks his mouth, it is estimated that he will be punished, and you should not talk nonsense outside." ”

"I know, Sister Ruyi, I can still tell what to say and what not to say."

Shen Ruyi smiled: "I just like a smart girl like you, otherwise I wouldn't have told you so much." ”

In the evening, Zhang Baolai used a cart to push six large wooden boxes, three wooden shelves, and five straw mats.

In the new intellectuals, except for Fang Zhiyuan, who used a wooden box left by the old intellectuals, they all bought new ones.

The wooden shelves are those of Luo Jingyan, Luo Changtian and Jiang Manyue, the straw mats are those of the three of them, and those of Lin Shanshan and Du Yinan.

Zhang Baolai left after unloading his things.

They each moved their things to the house, Luo Jingyan wanted to help Luo Changtian get the box, Luo Changtian said: "Sister, I'm a man, I'll do these things myself." ”

Luo Jingyan patted him on the head: "When did you become a man?" Little brat, you're still too early to become a man. ”

Luo Changtian said: "Sister, I've grown up, I'll be able to work in the field right away, and I'll be able to support myself with all my strength, am I not a man?" ”

"That's not a man either, and you can't say it's not a man, or the word boy is best for you."

Tong Jianxin picked up the big wooden box with one hand: "Little brother, look, only men like us are called men." You're a kid. ”

He moved Luo Changtian's box into the house, and Chen Zhiyu helped him move the wooden shelves in, he only needed to take the straw mat into it.

Luo Changtian: They all look down on him, and if they have to help him work, then he should be a child.

Luo Jingyan felt that the male intellectuals were still very humane, "Xiaotian, people helped you, and you have to thank them when you go in." ”

"Sister, I know."

When the new intellectuals didn't come, the five old intellectuals took turns cooking, and after they were divided into groups, today it was Liu Huifang and Sun Tiantian, and tomorrow it was Shen Ruyi and Jiang Manyue who cooked together.

At this dinner in the evening, almost everyone did it, and some of them couldn't intervene, so they went to do other work, and no one was embarrassed to be idle.

But there is one person who is a special case, and that is Du Yinan.
