The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 13

"Then ... I'll give it to Zhiqing Liu?"

Li Sanhu was still drunk in the blind worship of Fairy Liu, holding the ointment and giggling for a while, thinking about it but feeling embarrassed, scratching the back of her head, huh Ma Xiuzhen said: "Camerad Ma, you know, you know, why don't you take him to Comrade Liu for me?"

Li Yufeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard this ... This brother did his best to create a black dot that would kneel on the washboard in the future!

He glanced at Li Sanhu with sympathy, but saw Ma Xiuzhen calmly taking the ointment he gave, and his facial expression was also very indifferent.

It seemed like the third candidate-in-law was already interested in her brother.

...

They close the doors and windows of the warehouse, check the power switches to make sure no fire is open, lock the doors and leave.

Ma Xiuzhen watched the Li family brothers and sisters leave, stared at the ointment in his hands, and went to the educated youth dormitory in the back row.

He and Liu Yiyi lived in the same dormitory, which was considered a better treatment among the educated youths sent to the countryside. Guang'an County is located on a land of fish and rice south of the Yangtze River, so the living conditions of the people here are relatively better. Compared to cities whose materials were scarce, although the labor here was heavy, eating three times a day could still be guaranteed.

Although Ma Xiuzhen was from the city, he had been in poverty since he was a child, not comparable to Liu Yiyi who was born a capitalist, before his four children were destroyed, he said, he still lives the life of a young woman.

The countryside gave Ma Xiuzhen a complete meal and made him appreciate the land; but to Liu Yiyi, it was an endless torment.

"Why haven't you slept?"

Ma Xiuzhen entered the room and saw Liu Yiyi still reading a book under the lamp. Now that the resources are limited, the electricity consumption of educated youth included in the agricultural electricity consumption in the production team Li Guoji often told them to save money, the power source.

Although it seems that turning on the lights will not consume a few kilowatt-hours of electricity for a year, but it is not worth mentioning by name at a mobilization meeting.

"I'm going to sleep now."

Liu Yiyi closed the book with a calm and light expression on her face, she was assigned by Li Guoji to take out cow dung today, and her heart was deeply broken, but now he felt much better because .. when Liu Zhenhua went to the commune, he brought her the ointment erythromycin back.

The wound on his finger was smeared with ointment, as if the pain had lessened a little.In such years, it was rare for anyone to care about you all the time. When Ma Xiuzhen entered the room, he saw the ointment on the table, which was exactly the same as the one he was hiding in his pocket right now. He assumed that Liu Yiyi should have bought it from his comrades in the commune today, and asked casually, "How much is this ointment?" but it felt as if he had dropped a five-flavored bottle ... He didn't want to be misunderstood, he shouldn't have accepted other people's stuff ... But she But her expression was rather pitiful, as if she was still thinking of others, which really made Ma Xiuzhen feel a little disgusted. ... Li Yufeng fell asleep until dawn ... The moment he woke up, the sun outside the window had just jumped out of the horizon. Although he had not participated in the hard work of the harvest lately, his biological clock seemed to have gotten used to working and resting here. The roosters were crowing outside the house, and the hard workers had gone to the fields. Li Guoji left early in the morning, he was the captain of the satellite brigade, not only did he have to manage the harvesting work of his own production team, he had to manage the harvest, but also go to another production team to mobilize the summer harvest. Li Dahu and Zhang Cuifang also left, and the house that was crowded all day became quiet again. Li Yufeng came to the kitchen after washing and combing, and saw Chen Zhaodi had posted a corncake today. There were two hard-boiled eggs in the enamel bowl on the table, which he had specifically asked to cook by Chen Zhaodi yesterday.

"Mom, I only need one egg." In this era of lack of supplies, the eggs of ordinary people have to be exchanged for money in supplier and marketing cooperatives in the commune, and their families do not lack a few dollars, so they are willing to keep their own eggs. , but cooking two eggs at once is still too wasteful.

"The other for your fourth brother. He said he would leave it for you to eat. " Chen Zhaodi never underestimated his family members when it came to eating and drinking. After all, boys are strong workers. Some refined grains of rice, he still wanted Li Yufeng to have more. Li Yufeng took the egg from the enamel bowl. Once the eggs are mature, the shell is pink. She looked at the egg in her palm and muttered: "Egg ... iron egg .. iron egg. .." Thinking of Li Tiedan's appearance last night, Li Yufeng trembled violently, hesitated and struggled for a long time, and secretly hid the egg in her pocket. For the villa..he decided to try harder! ... From the dilapidated room came the unbearable scream of pain from the man. "Dad ... Dad ... just relax ..." Zhao Guodong was lying on a wooden bed, and his eyebrows were clamped by his father Zhao Mancang. When the smell of the medicinal oil disappears, the sore area completely heals a lot. He sat bare-chested on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and after two days of hard work, he was able to rest. The advanced production team could also reward a few more work points. "Don't work too hard, the family hasn't reached that point yet." Zhao Mancang felt sad to see his son like this. He worked very hard before, but he always felt that he was not working hard this time. It must have been because he was upset by the Li family's divorce, Zhao Mancang sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I went to Lao Song's house on the production team next door to massage him yesterday. His daughter is seventeen years old. .." Zhao Guodong felt his scalp numb upon hearing this, and got up from the bed. The dress on the shelf stood up and left. When he reached the door, he glanced at his father and said, "Dad, don't worry about these things in the future!"... Li Yufeng arrived early in the morning to deliver "eggs" to the "Tie Dan" Drying Field".

Some educated young men were drying rapeseed in the warehouse, after some time working, this rapeseed would be sent to the oil plant.

He stood at the door and looked, Zhao Tiedan is not on the team.

Was he hiding from her intentionally? Then why did you come here to return your own farming tools last night?

He was wearing a light blue Jade shirt today, his long hair was tied into braids hanging on his chest, and his bottom was black. Polyester card pants, cotton shoes, all neatly dressed, standing on the ground drying grain, many youths could not help but look at him.

Zhao Jiadong looked left and right, pointed at her nose doubtfully, and saw Li Yufeng's pretty brows furrowed.

His heart stiffened, he walked slowly with his arched back, and came under the old grasshopper tree with him.

"Sister Yufeng .. I queue to pick up the scythe."

I don't know how the two of them chatted last night. He was too tired yesterday, and he fell asleep before Zhao Guodong came home.

“Your brother came back last night, is there anything different?” Li Yufeng asked him.

nothing different?" Zhao Jiadong scratched the back of his head, raised his head and said, "When I wake up in the morning, I say my back hurts, and my father pinched two handfuls for him!" For physical work such as cutting wheat, bending is a tremendous pain

I am surprised that I do not have back pain after work! When he came home last night, he could smell the medicine and wine in the house, his brother might not be able to take it anymore.

Li Yufeng thought for a moment, took out an egg in her pocket, put it in Zhao Jiadong's hand and said, "This is for your brother, this is an egg, not an iron egg." "What?" When he looked down, he,

he realized that it was a boiled white egg. Their family also raised two chickens, but they had not eaten eggs for a long time. She didn't pay enough for her school fees, so she had to send her family home every week Bring eggs to school to offset her school fees.

Seeing Zhao Jiadong swallow, Li Yufeng regretted that she should have taken another one, but she still reduced her own ration to give Zhao Guodong extra food, he could not let her lift the small black face outside.

“Don't tell your sister where she came from, know?” Li Yufeng warned him with narrowed eyes.

Zhao Jiadong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, thinking he had said it yesterday, seeing Li Yufeng's expression, he was a little worried.

Seeing his unnatural expression, Li Yufeng did not know what he was thinking. When he lowered his head, he saw his ankles cut off and tied with a piece of cloth. Being the first student in this village feels a little funny.

"You still say that I am .. You are no better than me?" Li Yufeng looked at him, deliberately showing a disdainful smile in her eyes, and Zhao Jiadong blushed all the way to her ears.

...

After the farm tools were distributed to the members, Li Yufeng and Ma Xiuzhen had time to sit down and rest.

Li Yufeng had just seen Liu Zhenhua, but because there were so many people in the morning and the time was narrow, she did not have time to talk to him.After they finished their work, they did not have time to talk to him, Liu Zhenhua had no choice but to depart.

Ma Xiuzhen looked at Li Yufeng and decided to tell her what happened last night. Although it was a good thing that Liu Zhenhua cared for and loved his fellow learned youths, Liu Yiyi's appearance really did look rather suspicious. Compared to Liu Yiyi who had come from the city together, she now preferred this simple country girl.

“Yufeng, I will return this to you.” Ma Xiuzhen had already guessed that Liu Zhenhua must have bought the plaster for Li Yufeng, but he could not ask directly, so he said, “Liu Yiyi already had it, and this is Liu Zhenhua giving it to him." Yeah." yeah."

The silly girl in front of him was about to die because she wanted to get engaged to someone else, she definitely still had Liu Zhenhua in her heart, but the relationship between Liu Zhenhua and Liu Yiyi was too ambiguous, he should mention something about her.
