The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 52

Small country roads in the late 1970s were lined with tall metasequoia trees, tractors drove slowly under the shade of trees, and a cool breeze blew past them.

Ma Xiuzhen weighed the egg inside the kraft paper bag, looked at Li Sanhu who was concentrating on driving, and said, "Are you hungry, the egg that Yufeng gave me, how about I peel it for you?" hungrier

!"

Li Sanhu holds the tractor. He definitely couldn't peel the eggs. They were out at 7am, and now it's twelve. In addition, Li Sanhu was strongly opposed to chemical fertilizers to get into the car just now. It would be a lie to say that he is not hungry. .

Ma Xiuzhen did not expose it either. He took out an egg from a paper bag, broke its shell, and peeled it slowly. After he finished peeling the eggs, he opened the lid of the military kettle he had brought and handed it to Li Sanhu. He said: "Drink water and eat eggs, carefully choke."

Li Sanhu was extremely embarrassed, even the outermost skin of the lesbian water bottle had been cleaned. He, a rude man, had just done a rough and dirty job everywhere He wanted to drink How was he going to drink after a while?

"No need, I'm really not hungry, and I'm not thirsty either." Their gay men rarely carry a water bottle when out. Many units in the city install taps. If thirsty, they can drink a few sips. No problem at all.

Seeing him refuse, Ma Xiuzhen thought he didn't like it was unhygienic, so he simply smiled and said: "I haven't drunk it today, I think I'll be thirsty in the hot weather, I think I'll be thirsty, such a pot of water is quite heavy.after carrying it for a long time." Ma Xiuzhen was used to carrying water bottles wherever he went. After all, he was a resident of the city, and he could not accept the rural living habit of drinking water from any well.

"No ..." When Li Sanhu heard that he misunderstood, he hurriedly explained: "No ... You're all clean lesbians." "Drink."

Before

Li Sanhu finished talking, the water bottle was already in front of him, he was really thirsty, so he picked it up after thinking about it, and held the bottle spout a few centimeters from his lips, and sipped it with his head raised. .

The water in the kettle was cold to quench his thirst. After drinking it, he handed it back to Ma Xiuzhen in slight embarrassment, wiped the corner of his mouth with his cuff, and whispered: "No ... It's not dirty. " Ma Xiuzhen did not speak, and

then He also handed over the hard-peeled boiled eggs, and Li Sanhu was about to take them with his hands, when he suddenly recalled that he had not washed his hands after moving the fertilizer. , and now that he had driven the tractor for so long, his palms were sweating.

“Let me feed you.” Looking at the sweat stains on his callous palms, Ma Xiuzhen was in a dilemma, stopped before opening his mouth, and directly reached out to bring the egg to Li Sanhu's mouth.

Li Sanhu was embarrassed now, and was worried that his hand would hurt while holding the egg, so he opened his mouth and swallowed the entire egg in one gulp.

The egg was born from a domestic laying hen, and its size was not small, although it had just been lubricated by a cold boiled egg, it was very difficult to swallow such an egg in one gulp. Horrifically.

Seeing that he was clearly choking, Ma Xiuzhen hurriedly opened the water bottle and handed it to him, then reached out his hand to help him straighten his back, a little confused: "Why did you eat so quickly ..." This man. ..

Li Sanhu choked and was uncomfortable, and at this moment, he did not care about dirtying Ma Xiuzhen's water bottle, so he hurriedly sipped from the hand he had handed her over, so he hurriedly sipped from the hand he had handed her over, and finally set his breath back, but his face was still flushed red.

He was now the production captain of their team, but he had not expected to make such an ugly face in front of Ma Xiuzhen. Li Sanhu felt she was extremely embarrassed today, and even her facial expression became a little depressed, and she did not say a word.

Seeing him like this, Ma Xiuzhen could not say anything Don't look at Li Sanhu's usual carelessness, but now that he is also a cadre, he definitely wants to save face.

Fortunately, when Li Sanhu was depressed, he instead drove the tractor faster, and they immediately returned to the production team.

Li Yufeng was already asleep while leaning on Zhao Guodong's body, her long hair wrapped around Zhao Guodong's arms was in a mess, and her light and shallow breath seemed to be soaked by a sweet taste. But Zhao Guodong dared not sleep, and hugged the person in his arms, for fear that his tractor would be too bumpy and wake him up.

Each part of his body was soft, in stark contrast to his own stiffness. Zhao Guodong was even afraid that his own blood and flesh would hurt him. After all, Li Yufeng, who was now in her arms, looked petite and beautiful. Only the wave hidden in his shirt had the curvature he should have. .

Zhao Guodong averted his gaze, he was not an evil goblin in his arms, he was also a mover.

Zhao Guodong did not wake Li Yufeng until Li Sanhu's tractor stopped at the grain drying field.

Li Yufeng rubbed her eyes, helped Zhao Guodong out of the car, and saw her hair marks on her arms. Zhao Guodong returned to the production team but became more honest, lowered his head without saying a word, and worked hard to help Li Sanhu move the fertilizer from the car.

When the people in the team office saw Li Sanhu back, they went to the educated youth dormitory in the back row to call someone to bring fertilizer.

Li Yufeng was talking to Ma Xiuzhen at the side, and when she turned her head, she saw Liu Zhenhua reluctantly carrying a bag of fertilizer, but her walking posture changed slightly, and she was completely at fault.

Zhao Guodong had already walked out of the warehouse, and he wanted to move it a second time, but Li Yufeng walked over and said, "You go back first." After all, there were many jobs here, and she could not bear her husband working here Cain of wool!

Zhao Guodong wanted to move again, but Li Yufeng grabbed onto his sleeve, he looked at him with big black eyes, his face was a bit pink due to the hot weather, and he looked extremely handsome.

"OK, then I go first, and I have to go to the oil factory to work in the afternoon" Zhao Guodong said.

"Are you still going in the afternoon? Don't you want to rest at home?" Li Yufeng frowned. The stupid guy just knows how to work hard all day.

"Finish the job in the oil workshop early, so I can learn to be a mason early. Zhao Guodong planned his future very well and was full of energy. He did not dare to say that all of this was for Li Yufeng, but he knew that. in his heart, if he wanted him to live a good life, he would have to work harder.

"Then you ... pass my house in a moment, I'll be waiting for you." Li Yufeng pouted, taking off everything on the tractor and handing it to him. When he got the cloth, he said again: "I will give this to you when I make clothes."

The two teased each other in the grain-drying field, and there was no one with sharp eyes who could not see the clues. A few learned youths who usually had a bit of a feud with Liu Zhenhua, then deliberately winked and laughed in private.

Liu Zhenhua rejected the chemical fertilizer silently, gritting his teeth so hard that his teeth would be crushed.

...

Chen Zhaodi wasn't idle lately, Zhang Cuifang was about to give birth, and she also started preparing baby clothes and pants. Fortunately, next month the weather will be hot, and children are easy to care for, which is much better than being born in winter.

There was a sewing machine at home, which was the dowry when Zhang Cuifang got married. Now the young couple did not live in the village, so they put it in Chen Zhaodi's room.

When Li Yufeng returned, Chen Zhaodi stepped on the sewing machine under the window. Li Yufeng had to regret that the women of that era were more versatile than each other. For a rural woman like Chen Zhaodi, it was fine to work in the fields, if she took the scissors, she could make decent clothes. These days, if you go out to hire a tailor to make clothes, it costs a few dollars per piece.

“Bu, why didn't you teach me how to make clothes?” Li Yufeng leaned against the window sill, noticing the neat stitches coming out from under the sewing machine needles, and everyone was envious.

want to learn how to make clothes again?" Chen Zhaodi looked at her daughter, frowned and said, "You haven't made a decent home-cooked meal ..." Chen Zhaodi smiled as she spoke When she woke up, she felt that Li Yufeng was very similar to her.When she fell in love with Li Guoji, she wished she could be proficient in eighteen martial arts, she said, so that he could handcuff this man firmly to his belt.

"Learning to make clothes is not something that can be learned in a day or two. If you don't study well, the material will be in vain ..." Chen Zhaodi looked at Li Yufeng, saw that she had entered room & room, and continued: "Getting out the materials, I took the time to make them for you."

There was also a short-sleeved shirt with a small floral motif next to it, it was the material that Zhang Cuifang had brought last time, and it was already made into clothes, so he called Li Yufeng: "You try, fit or not."

Li Yufeng took out all the materials he bought inside the bag, and there were several white Dacron legs, which could be used to make clothes for the brothers.

The one was gray to Li Guoji, and there was another one that was light blue. Li Yufeng said softly, "That's it, ma'am."

Li Yufeng spoiled in front of Chen Zhaodi, hugged her neck from behind, rubbed her cheeks vigorously and said: "Mom, Guodong and I will be devoted to you in the future."

" Yo yo yo... It's amazing, this horoscope hasn't been written yet, just me and Guodong... Girl, are you ashamed?"

Chen Zhaodi couldn't help it She kept pinching Li Yufeng's cheeks, she had given birth to four boys in her life, and finally got a small upholstered jacket, it couldn't be more perfect.

"Okay, there's hot food for you and your third brother in the pot, hurry up and eat, come here and I'll teach you how to make clothes, let's start by cutting."

Li Yufeng frowned when she heard that, and rushed to the door and said, "Mom, do you not agree to help me?" "

Lazy girl!" Chen Zhaodi laughed, and said to Li Yufeng's back: "Who just said What are you saying you want to learn? Feelings just lie to me?"

Li Yufeng ran faster when she heard that her plot had been revealed, and immediately hid in the kitchen.
