Chapter 234 70 Farming: Bringing the Twins to the Island 1
March 1971, 3: AM.
On a small hillside of the First Brigade of Hongqi Commune, a few sturdy boys chose a position, took off their pants, and shouted loudly in the wind,
"Come on, let's see who can pee higher!"
"Let's compete. Whoever wins will be the leader of the guerrilla team!"
"I will definitely win! My bird is the biggest!"
When Wen Nanzhi ran over, she saw this unforgettable scene. She hurriedly covered her eyes. It was over. She would get stye!
"Brother! Put on your pants and go! Mom wants you to go home for dinner! She said if you don't go back, you won't get any meat!"
"Zha Pao, your mother lied. I heard that Er Dan's mother knew that you threw rocks at her windows yesterday. You can only eat bamboo shoots fried with meat."
"Your sister is definitely helping your mother to trick you back home. My grandma wanted to exchange some meat for dumplings with your grandma, but she said she didn't have any."
"Yeah, don't go back. By the time we're done playing, your mom will have forgotten what to do."
The boy with the whitest butt immediately put on his pants when he heard Wen Nanzhi calling him. After listening to his friends, he turned around and shouted at Wen Nanzhi: "I'm not going back! Save some food for me!"
"Brother, if you don't go back, you won't have any White Rabbit candy to eat. Wen Zhapao, you are not allowed to run away!"
"Stop yelling. I don't want to go back now. Sister, if there is any candy, please keep it for me and I will give you half."
The boys pulled up their trousers and ran away.
Several barbell-like laughs were carried to Wen Nanzhi's ears by the wind. She stamped her feet and said, "Just wait, brother. Mom is really angry today, and he will only suffer the consequences."
Wen Nanzhi ran home angrily and complained to her mother that her brother was too rebellious and didn't listen to her at all.
……
At that time, Hua Ke was sitting in the fenced yard, reaching out to wipe the saliva off her face, "Erdan's mother, why don't you speak slower? I fell off my bike on the way back and hit my head, and my head was dizzy and I didn't hear clearly."
Erdan's mother was cursing with all her might, but her two words were choking her throat. She stared at the bloodstained white gauze on Hua Ke's head and slowed down her tone.
"Chu Heng's family, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've read so many books, you must know more than me. Even an illiterate like me knows that it's important to educate children early, you know that, right?"
"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore your children. Look, your family is setting off firecrackers, and every few days you make trouble in the brigade, either smashing my windows or trampling on other people's vegetable fields..."
Hua Ke looked at the small piece of navy blue clothing exposed at the kitchen door. "My mother never told me this. Plus, Wen Beicheng pretended to be a good kid in front of me, so I thought he was very sensible. Erdan's mother, thank you for telling me. I will definitely teach him a lesson today."
Wang Baoju huddled in the corner. What was she saying? She was so strong. What if she hurt her grandson? Erdan's mother was really something. Why not talk to her? She was not unwilling to pay compensation. Besides, the slingshot only damaged two vegetables. It was not as serious as the educated youth said, as if the slingshot had damaged the entire field. The chicken was not killed intentionally by the slingshot. It was because the slingshot had a good aim. And the chicken ran out suddenly and was hit in the head by the slingshot...
Seeing Hua Ke's eyes become dangerous, Erdan's mother silently took a step back. She had also heard that Hua Ke was very strong. "Well, just scold him. I just want you to know that this happened. Pull him over as soon as possible. Tell him not to smash my windows next time."
Hua Ke didn't say anything else. She took out a dollar from the pocket of her cotton pants and gave it to Erdan's mother as compensation. "Is one dollar enough? If not, come ask me for more."
"That's enough. I'm going home first."
As expected of someone who has a job in the county town, she is generous. Erdan's mother happily took the money and walked back. At the door, she almost bumped into Hua Ke's little firecracker, "Pumpkin, run slower, don't fall."
Wen Nanzhi stood there, looking at the one-yuan note with great distress. It was all his brother's fault. The family was almost going to lose all the money.
……
"Wen Nanzhi, come here." Hua Ke said lightly.
"Mom~" Wen Nanzhi ran over and hugged Hua Ke's thighs, "Mom, my brother didn't listen to me. He doesn't want to come back."
Hua Ke pushed away the little girl who was clinging to her, "I will deal with your brother later. Now stand still. I have something to ask you."
Wen Nanzhi thought her mother was a little strange, but she still stood obediently against the fence.
Wang Baoju's face turned pale. Oh, the truth is revealed! Zha Pao will be beaten tonight. Why is there no window in this kitchen? She can't run out to pull Zha Pao back to apologize.
"Let me ask you, did you know that your brother got into trouble?"
Wang Baoju stuck her head out and winked at Wen Nanzhi.
Wen Nanzhi blinked and said to Hua Ke, "I don't know."
"When was the last time you lied to your mother? You can't lie to your mother." Hua Ke stared at her closely.
Wen Nanzhi looked at the kitchen nervously, and Hua Ke turned around, but there was nothing at the kitchen door.
Hua Ke sneered and broke off a cane from outside the door. "My daughter, if you lie you will be beaten. You'd better tell mom the truth."
"Wow, just now~I just lied."
Wen Nanzhi raised her head, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and tried not to let her tears fall. Wasn't it her brother's fault? Why was her mother so mean to her? She felt so wronged!
"Hua Ke, why are you scaring the child? I told her not to tell you." Wang Baoju bravely walked out of the kitchen. She couldn't hit her mother-in-law, right?
"Mom, do you know that your behavior is wrong?"
"What's wrong with that? It's been so long since the incident happened. Is there any point in talking about it? Besides, I apologized to them and it cost me a lot of money."
Hua Ke was speechless, "It was Wen Beicheng's fault. He has the money to pay for it. What are you offering as compensation, mother? Has he apologized? Does he know he was wrong? Does he have any intention of changing for the better?"
The series of questions made Wang Baoju a little confused, and finally she was answered with one sentence, "Zha Pao is still young, still a child."
"Mom, he's already five years old, how can he be small? Spoiling a child is like killing him. If you teach him like this, something bad will happen to him in the future!"
Wang Baoju dodged a glance and said stubbornly, "It's not that serious, he's very well behaved!"
"Haha, good boy?"
Hua Ke recounted the cases that Erdan's mother had just told her, "Mom, Wen Beicheng was definitely involved in these things, right?"
"Which boy in the countryside didn't go through this? What's wrong with boys being a little naughty? Chu Heng was even naughtier than him back then! He's so powerful now, he's even become an officer. I guess he'll be even more capable than his father at firing cannons in the future."
Bah, she doesn't believe it!
Hua Ke looked at Wang Baoju, who was so protective of her children that she was insane, and she wanted to slap her twice to wake her up, but she couldn't.
"Mom, after tomorrow, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. Stand away when I teach Wen Beicheng a lesson. My cane doesn't have eyes!"
