The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 16

Li Yufeng had not returned home.

On such a heavy rainy day, the rainwater easily flowed back into the warehouse, so he and Ma Xiuzhen were still standing guard in the warehouse.

Rapeseed production teams throughout the year are kept here, if wet, will be divided equally as a loss for each member.

Some educated youths had also just been busy harvesting radishes, and they were currently returning to the learned youth dormitory in the back row to bathe. Li Yufeng saw Liu Zhenhua advancing from the window, Liu Yiyi chased him out of the house and gave him an umbrella.

The accents were both very full, and there were some flirtatious eyebrows. Love could really make someone blind, everything was like this, Li Yufeng in the original text was unaware of it, and fell into Liu Zhenhua's trap step by step.

Ma Xiuzhen raised his eyes and looked at the scene outside the window. He took out a large yellow umbrella from the wall and handed it to Li Yufeng, saying, "You go first. When he comes, I'll help you return those things to him. ." Li Yufeng nodded in gratitude

. Nodding his head, apart from the heavy rain outside, he came out with an umbrella.

He passed the river embankment, and also thought of the egg earlier.

Wasting food in such an age would be struck by lightning. He could not forget that this was an era when everyone could not eat enough just because he could eat good vermicelli. Eggs are nothing, but their behavior is always wrong.

Thinking of this, Li Yufeng rolled up her pants and crawled down the ridge with her waist down, intending to look for eggs before dark.

If it wasn't raining too hard, or if he was careful enough, he would see another row of footprints in the wheat field. It was a pity that Li Yufeng, who had never done farm work, had no common sense at all, she was drenched in mud for a long time, she said, and finally discovered that the egg he threw had disappeared!

This wheat field had already been harvested, how could someone come? Why can't eggs be found? Could it have fallen into muddy water?

Li Yufeng was about to continue looking down when she heard someone calling her on the ridge, "Yufeng, what are you doing on the field?"

It turned out that Chen Zhaodi was afraid that she could not return under the heavy rain, so she went to pick her up from the grain drying field.

The clothes on Li Yufeng's body were all soaked, she stood upright from the wheat field, and walked towards the edge of the field with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

Chen Zhaodi came to help, and she rose from the wheat field, but the wound on her leg opened up again, and the rain mixed with blood fell, which was frightening enough to watch.

"What are you doing in the fields? Look at those wet shoes!"

Chen Zhaodi really did not know what kind of good things were in the wheat field. Seeing Li Yufeng's feet bleed again, her brows frowned, and she said firmly, "Don't be here tomorrow." Go out, rest at home, and don't inflame the wound!"

Li Yufeng felt uneasy since noon, and she did not refute Chen Zhaodi's words, so she nodded obediently, thinking that Zhao Guodong had already said no This is her fault, so she nodded obediently, thinking that Zhao Guodong had already said no, future villas were also available, as long as he was still a member of the satellite brigade, he could be allocated a villa.

He tried to convince himself, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he remembered the most important thing!

She is a woman! I will marry in the future! If she was married to a satellite brigade. wouldn't it be the same if she didn't have a villa? Could it be that she had to find someone to marry in this satellite brigade for the sake of the villa decades later?

But if he wanted to marry someone in the satellite brigade, who else would be more promising than Zhao Guodong in the future?

Li Yufeng suddenly felt that she had dragged herself in ... When

Zhao Guodong returned home, outside still heavy rain and light rain in the house as usual. He crouched down near the well and washed the eggs wrapped in muddy water, and came to the stove.

Grandma Zhao was the last generation of women whose legs were tied. He had limited mobility and was obviously unable to do farm work. However, she arranged housework at home and was in charge of the whole family's food and drink. He looks as rich as possible while living frugally.

There was actually still flour at home, but it needed to be reserved for Zhao Jiadong to make dry food The food in the school cafeteria was too expensive, and there were no extra food stamps for her.

Zhao Guodong threw the egg into an iron pot on the clay stove, returned to his room and changed his wet clothes, and saw Zhao Jiadong standing at the window reading a small book about the Water Margin. These items were abandoned when they lived in the city before, and many of them were confiscated when they were dismantled, and now only a few copies remain.

“Grandma boiled eggs, you go and eat them.”

Zhao Jiadong's eyes sparkled when he heard there was an egg, and he left the comic book in his hand and ran into the kitchen. These days everyone was like ghosts, their eyes flushed when they heard something to eat, so Li Yufeng could throw away a good boiled egg without batting an eye.

Zhao Guodong looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh The rain might not stop for a day or two. He lowered his head and casually flipped through the small book left behind by Zhao Jiadong, but the way Li Yufeng turned his head and left flashed through his mind. He behaves like a little grumpy. If she was still his girlfriend, he would definitely hit her and teach her a lesson, pause!

He was shocked at his own thoughts, and even the middle of his eyebrows twitched, he could not help but look at his thick and rough palms, feeling annoyed in his heart, after all, he was, he had been married for so many years.so why did he not even have a small hand? Did you ever get it?

Now it's okay ... I'm afraid I won't be able to get it in this life ...

Liu Zhenhua was from the learned youth dormitory in the back row, but he did not see Li Yufeng after taking a look. . Outside of the heavy rain, so he thought that Li Yufeng would stay here for a while. The growing season has been busy lately, and everyone has a lot to do. It's been a long time since they've both had a good relationship in person.

He felt that Li Yufeng seemed to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally.In fact, he hoped that Li Yufeng would stop clinging to him and keep the personal space relatively, which would make him feel less stressed. He could not deny that he had feelings towards Li Yufeng in his heart, but as an urban educated young man who went to the countryside, falling in love with a village girl still made him feel a little offended. Moreover, she liked too much utilitarianism, which sometimes confused her, wondering if her feelings for Li Yufeng were right.

"Camerad Liu, you came just in time. This is what Yufeng asked to return to you. "

Ma Xiuzhen was sitting at the table reading books, looking up and seeing Liu Zhenhua coming, and he handed Liu Zhenhua ointment in the drawer.

There was no denying that Liu Zhenhua was an extremely talented young man, and he was highly sought after among the many learned young men sent to the countryside in the Hongqi Commune. He could write poetry and prose, and he could also compile Chairman Mao's quotes into interesting nursery rhymes, and teach children in brigades to read. He also has a unique skill, which is able to play accordions.

In this era, everyone was in a less cultural stage, Liu Zhenhua's talent was admired by many young girls, let alone rural girls like Li Yufeng who had never been to the city. Liu Zhenhua weaved a beautiful scroll for him, making him feel like he was in a magical world he had never experienced.

But to Ma Xiuzhen, it was all due to Li Yufeng's material abundance, which led to her spiritual poverty.Although she was born in the countryside, she had never suffered since she was a child, she had never suffered from it, so he was more likely to be tempted by Liu Zhenhua. . The city is not actually as good as imagined, there are also needy and hungry poor people, if it is really good, they will not come to the countryside just to eat as much. “This is..” Liu Zhenhua looked a little confused. He picked up the plaster handed over by Ma Xiuzhen and asked, “If he doesn't want it, why doesn't he just return it to me?” Ma Xiuzhen said solemnly: "I don't know about this either, maybe you can ask him directly," he paused for a moment, and continued: "But Comrade Liu, you know, "But Comrade Liu, did you give the ointment to Comrade Liu to him?" Liu Zhenhua suddenly frowned, and looked at Ma Xiuzhen suspiciously, But Ma Xiuzhen had never said much, he thought that he should not spread anything that should not be said, but in any case, he and Li Yufeng guarded the warehouse recently, maybe they'll talk about themselves. "It only cares about each other among friends." Liu Zhenhua smiled awkwardly, but he became worried in his heart. Li Yufeng was always a little grumpy. If he found out that there was an affair between him and Liu Yiyi, there would definitely be a huge commotion.

Perhaps. asking Ma Xiuzhen to return the ointment to himself was a sign. The current situation was clear, Liu Yiyi and Li Yufeng were incomparable, and it was time for him to choose.

...

Liu Yiyi closed the last page of "The Gadfly", feeling a little uneasy for a long time. He really wants to be a brave revolutionary fighter like the protagonist in the novel, but he knows that he lacks perseverance and courage ... She was nothing now, just a learned young lady in despair In the eyes of others, she was not even comparable to the village flower in this satellite commune.

The wound on his finger was still slightly swollen, but much better after being plastered, he still thanked Liu Zhenhua in his heart, but it was a pity ... Liu Zhenhua liked the village girl.

I really don't know what attracted her to this uneducated and hot-tempered country girl, he had even secretly wondered if it was because Liu Zhenhua wanted to obtain the recommended place for the University of Workers, Farmers, and Soldiers this year, so he had purposely delighted Li Yufeng from?

Everyone in the Red Flag Commune knew about this, but there was only one quota in the commune, even if Li Guoji recommended it, he might not be able to get this quota. But after all, if there were no recommendations from Li Guoji, it would be even more impossible to obtain this place.

Liu Yiyi was still struggling, she did not know whether to go to Li Sanhu for this position, she knew that Li Sanhu liked her, but she was still a loyal person, and the person she liked more in her heart was Liu Zhenhua. .. "Is Comrade Liu there

?"

Liu Zhenhua's voice suddenly sounded from outside, accompanied by heavy rain, sounded a bit hazy, Liu Yiyi's heart skipped a beat, she stood up and straightened her long unraveled hair, and replied: " I'm here, the door's open, please come in."
