The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 9

Bai Shengsheng's steamed bun reminded him of Bai Shengsheng's other toys. Although he had never seen it before, he had felt it. Such gentleness and strength could make the blood all over his body boil.

Zhao Jiadong looked at the dazed Zhao Guodong, and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother! Why nosebleeds?"

Zhao Guodong wiped his huge palm under his nose, mixed with sweat on his palm, and he completely wiped his bright red hands. He looked at the sun at this time, not yet at nine, and the sun was not yet too hot.

“Maybe the sun is too hot.” He frowned, and sat under the old grasshopper tree to enjoy the shade.

“Brother, rest for a while, I will finish the rest for you.” The honest Zhao Jiadong had no idea what his brother was thinking, bent down and raised the scythe to harvest.

Zhao Guodong was blowing a cool breeze under the shade of the tree, feeling the anger in his body disappear bit by bit, looked at his younger brother who was bending over to do farm work, and said: "Be careful, this sickle is quick. , don't hurt yourself." Although Zhao

Jiadong He is young, but the condition of the Zhao family is not good, and he has been working in the fields since he was a child. These little things can't bother him, so

she said casually: "I'm not Miss Yufeng, I don't know anything."

Zhao Guodong was already in his twenties, and he had indeed reached the marriageable age, he was furious when he heard that his marriage to Li Yufeng could not be completed.

"Grandmother's right. You and Sister Yufeng should have retired long ago. There was no one in this village who was more pampered than Sister Yufeng. Even if he graduates, our family can't afford him."

The current situation of the old Zhao family was that they could not even eat decent white rice, but Li Yufeng was a gentle girl who was raised with fine grains of rice.It was unrealistic to ask her to live a difficult life with Zhao Guodong At that time, Zhao Guodong might have to work harder for her, and he must be exhausted.

Zhao Jiadong would rather his brother not get a wife than him to work hard. The purpose of finding a wife to go home was to improve life, and Li Yufeng obviously could not become the head of the Zhao family.

Even if he had just received her white steamed bread, Zhao Jiadong could not speak well of her against his conscience.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Children don't care about adults. "

Zhao Guodong could not help but frown when he heard Li Yufeng's name. The tearful gaze was so heart-wrenching, who wouldn't be so painful if such a girl changed, how could she willingly let her fall to the ground.

Zhao Jiadong only felt that this sentence was familiar, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that Li Yufeng had also just said this sentence. The two people who were not engaged to each other were still exactly the same when speaking, could it be that they had negotiated?

...

During the day, Liu Yiyi returned from the production team's cowshed with a matted face.

The sun outside was already very scorching, he was wearing a straw hat, his hair was tied into ponytails casually, his eyes were dazed and poignant.

Knowing that he had to pick up the cow dung himself, he would rather go to the fields to harvest the wheat with others, at least his body was clean and he would not smell like this.

Ma Xiuzhen knew that Liu Yiyi liked to be clean, and seeing the grains of sweat running down her forehead, he hurriedly took out his own enamel cup and poured her a cup of cold water for her. He sipped the teacup, his face still a bit confused.

The smell of cow dung seemed to still permeate his body, he put down the enamel cup and raised his arm to kiss him here and there, and he felt his entire body smelling of cow dung.

Li Yufeng had just plucked two cucumbers from a private field, washed them in a well, and came back when she saw Liu Yiyi sitting on the spring chair at the door of the warehouse, with grievances, despair, and so on, and a pitiful expression on his face. .

Any man who looked at her like this would have no sympathy, but the effect was small in front of lesbians.After Ma Xiuzhen comforted her, she went out to catch sparrows in the grain drying fields.

Rapeseed was just harvested half a month ago, currently the sun fields are full of rapeseed, this is the oil and water of their production team in the second half of the year, this is the, and sparrows cannot be destroyed.

Li Yufeng glanced at Liu Yiyi, seeing that she was still immersed in her miserable world without any distractions, and reminded with a hint of embarrassment: "That's ... Comrade Liu." Liu Yiyi raised her head and looked at Li Yufeng with a non-existent gaze

Li Yufeng knew that she had excellent acting skills, so she did not want to waste time with him, she smiled generously, revealing a neat row of white teeth, looking bright and bright: "Comrade Liu, your hair .. seems to be stained with cow dung "

"Aah!" As soon as Li Yufeng heard the screams, Liu Yiyi covered her hair and ran to the learned youth dormitory in the back row.

Ma Xiuzhen heard a running voice with a rake in his hand: “What's the matter?”He looked at the fleeing Liu Yiyi hurriedly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's okay ..." Li Yufeng also had a helpless expression, and spread out her hands: "There seems to be cow dung in Comrade Liu's hair."

Ma Xiuzhen thought it was a big deal! It turns out that it is, you should know that among the learned youth on the production team, unless he can stay to see the grain-drying fields for physical reasons, everyone, male or female, can stay to see the grain-drying fields for physical reasons, have gone to participate in the summer harvest work. At this time, Li Guoji could ask Liu Yiyi to clean up the cow dung. It's not an easy task.After a long time, the waist will not be straightened.

“She is like that, no surprise.” Ma Xiuzhen lost his last sympathy for Liu Yiyi.

In the afternoon the weather becomes very hot, it is impossible to go to work in the afternoon like that, otherwise it is easy to get a heat stroke. After work, the big guys went home to take a bath, have lunch, and go to bed again, and waited for the sunset before continuing to gather.

The educated youth immediately returned, and the comrades in charge of cooking had prepared food and waited for them. Although there is no meat, fresh vegetables and pure natural rapeseed oil are fried together, which still makes hungry people sensitive to odors.

Li Yufeng should have returned for lunch earlier, but she waited a long time, but she did not see Zhao Guodong coming to return the farm equipment. All the other members of the commune went home to take a bath and started eating, but he was the only one still there.

Seeing that Li Yufeng had yet to leave, Ma Xiuzhen greeted her and returned to the educated youth cafeteria in the back row to eat. He moved very fast and could finish it in ten minutes. When she comes back after eating, she can help her I go home and rest.

It was stuffy in the warehouse, so Li Yufeng moved the Changchun bench and sat under a large grasshopper tree beside the grain drying courtyard. There are pure white pagoda flower strands hanging on the green pagoda tree, and you can still smell the faint scent of pagoda flowers as you close your eyes.

He had drunk a lot of acacia honey before, but this was the first time he had seen a real acacia tree. Pure white Sophora japonica flowers are like a string of wind chimes flying in the heat wave in early summer.

Li Yufeng raised her head, stared at the snow-white tree petals, unable to resist closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

He wore a light purple Dacron shirt, a pair of washed-out white polyester card pants underneath, a thick and long braid hung around his waist, and his bangs flew in the wind, and his bangs flew off, it showed its smooth, jade-like forehead.

Zhao Guodong came in exhausted to return the farming equipment, and looked at the image in front of him.

Li Yufeng was a real country girl, very different from city girls like Liu Zhiqing, but she was preferred over city girls like Liu Zhiqing. Zhao Guodong was still thinking in his heart, now that the old Zhao family had withdrawn from the marriage with the old Li family, the, it might not be long before the people who went to Li's old family to apply for marriage would definitely cross the threshold.

"Go and return the sickle. I'm tired, so I'll go back to sleep first. "He stuffed the scythe into Zhao Jiadong's hand, and went to his house without looking back.

Li Yufeng opened his eyes, and from the corner of his view he saw Zhao Jiadong walking with two scythes. He frowned and asked, "Why are you back now? Beware of heatstroke on a hot day." He stretched his body neck towards Zhao Jiadong's back After a glance, there was no shadow of Zhao Guodong, that person must have deliberately escaped when he saw her at the door.

"My brother wants to harvest more grain ..." Zhao Jiadong raised his head to look at Li Yufeng. Even though he was young, he still understood whether the girl's parents were handsome or not. Li Yufeng was indeed handsome, and she asked herself again If she wanted to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, she would be happy even if she suffered a little!

Thinking like this, he felt sorry for his brother again, maybe someone would too.. marry a daughter-in-law and go home to make an offering!

"Saudari Yufeng ..." Zhao Jiadong watched Li Yufeng lower her head to register, and asked with

a little embarrassed: "Why do you think you can't know so much?" Do you understand?"

Little ghost Zhao Jiadong, with an adult face, frowned and said: "I've heard that you don't like my brother, and when I heard that my father proposed to you on behalf of my brother, I was so anxious that I jumped into the river.. ."

Although He did not know whether it was true or not, but it was rumored outside, and they also said that Li Yufeng was in love with the learned young man from the city, surnamed Liu.

Li Yufeng rolled her eyes, raised her hand and was about to make her shudder, but she simply swung her fists, thinking what if she was still her brother-in-law in the future? As far as she knew the plot of her novel, other than Zhao Guodong ... who else could she marry?
