"You poisonous woman, you have already planned it!" Wang Laosan could not accept the reality that the house did not belong to him, and rushed towards Liu Yufeng with red eyes.
Liu Yufeng did not dodge, nor did she take out her signature kitchen knife. Instead, she kicked the hungry, cold, skinny old man away.
There was a loud bang, and Wang Laosan fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up. He was already suffering from a cold and runny nose, his body was heavy and he walked erratically, and he wrote that he became even more ill.
"Mom, are you okay?" Wang Jianying, brother and sister, ran out in a hurry.
"It's okay, I'm very strong." Liu Yufeng patted her clothes and said lightly.
The melon-eaters who were watching laughed awkwardly. It turned out that Liu Yufeng was so powerful without a knife. He was indeed an out-and-out lunatic.
"Jianping, please help your father to the utility room. Don't bother with him during the Chinese New Year. Are you happy to see all the fellow villagers? Do you want to come in and sit down?" Liu Yufeng glanced outside, and everyone hurriedly Shake your head like a rattle.
What a joke, this woman is crazy and doesn't care. Watching the excitement is important, but life is more important.
"Third sister-in-law, since I'm back now, I'll go back first. Don't join in the fun and leave as soon as possible!" Zhang Zaimin yelled twice and left.
Wang Jianping helped his father to the utility room on the east side. As the name suggests, there were farm tools and old things piled in it. As early as two days ago, Liu Yufeng asked her two sons to build a few wooden boards and make two shabby quilts inside, which will be the place where Wang Laosan will sleep.
Wang Laosan's stomach growled with hunger, his clothes were wet, and he felt dazed. As the eldest son, Wang Jianping couldn't ignore his parents, so he helped his father change his wet clothes first, and then asked his wife to make a bowl of ginger soup to relieve the cold.
In the next two days, Wang Laosan's three meals were carried to the utility room by Wang Jianping. On the third day, the trumpet in the village sounded, calling people to go to work.
Wang Laosan stood motionless, and Liu Yufeng stood outside the door and said coldly: "If you don't work, you won't have food to eat. You should decide whether you want to get up or not."
Within a moment, Wang Laosan came out and stared at her. She looks like a tortured little daughter-in-law. This gesture is really hilarious.
"Mom, let's go." Wang Jianying and Wang Jian'an came out of the house carrying their bags and pushing their bicycles.
"Well, take good care of yourself when you go out. Spend the money as you should, eat the meat as you should, don't be too frugal." Liu Yufeng warned seriously.
"Hey, we know, you should be well at home."
After saying that, the two of them rode their bicycles away. The morning was foggy, and they were soon out of sight.
Liu Yufeng and others walked to the grain drying field and shouted. There was little work in the field. The captain arranged for them to dig ditches in preparation for the beginning of spring.
After getting old, Wang Laosan tried every means to move to Wang Jianan's house. Anyway, he was not at home. It would be a waste to leave such a good house empty.
"Wang Laosan, please calm down while I can still talk properly. You can either live in the utility room or go to Widow Zhang's house. It's your choice!"
"You bitch, don't think I'm afraid of you!" Wang Laosan's body has recovered, and he begins to feel that he can do it again.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, because I won't provide for you in old age, let alone wait for you when you are too old to walk. Think about it yourself!" Liu Yufeng thought Wang Laosan was really stupid. He had no savings at his age. If you don’t have the ability, if you continue to do things like heaven and earth, you will end up alone!
It's not like Wang Laosan didn't feel that the two children, Jian'an and Jianying, were completely on the same side as their mother. Don't talk about providing him with old age in the future, I'm afraid he will die of illness without even raising an eyelid. The eldest son has a filial piety, but he is the least promising of the three children.
The weather was getting warmer, and the brigade leader was protected by the director. As expected, he was not dismissed from his post and still went to the county for meetings diligently.
At the end of March, Wang Jianan came back and said that he was dating the secretary's niece and asked Liu Yufeng to come to propose marriage.
"Have you broken up with other people and are about to get married?" Liu Yufeng knew without checking that Jian'an was hooking up with several women at the same time.
She didn't care before she got married, she could have fun as she liked, after all, she had never seen it. Marriage is not possible. To get married, you need to go to the woman's house to discuss the marriage. She cannot deceive the woman or her parents.
"Who told you?" Wang Jian'an felt that he was acting very cautiously. Even the people in the team didn't know that he was dating four women at the same time.
"Can I not know what kind of temper you are? I have never shown you anything in all these years. I just want to wait for you to settle down so as not to harm a good girl."
"I really want to marry her."
"I know that in order to gain the approval of her family, you hide your true nature and pretend to be sweet. However, there is no airtight wall in the world. Others are not fools, and you are not a god."
"After all, you just don't want to help me propose marriage!" Wang Jian'an didn't have the patience to listen anymore. He was confident that he could control the four women.
With a crisp "pop" sound, Liu Yufeng took back her hand, while Wang Jian'an covered his injured cheek in disbelief. He didn't understand why he was beaten? And hit him so hard!
"Growing up, all the good things in the family have been attached to you. The eldest brother and the younger sister have secretly cried countless times. I thought that you were smart and smart, and you would definitely be able to give face to the king in the future, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a white-eyed wolf... Wow Wuwu." Liu Yufeng covered her eyes with one hand and pinched her thigh hard with the other hand. She soon burst into tears from the pain.
"Didn't I marry the secretary's niece just to gain face for you? You don't know that the secretary has a higher official position than the director."
"Since you know most of them, you must know that they are not simple. When the truth comes out one day, do you think you will benefit? Don't forget, you have no backing and no ability, you are just an ordinary truck driver."
"I--"
"Think carefully about how to do it better. There is no rush to get married."
Wang Jianan stayed at home for two days and then left, saying that the marriage was settled.
During the busy farming season in May, county leaders suddenly came to inspect the Da'an production team. Liu Yufeng didn't know any secretary, and there were so many people that ordinary people like her couldn't get close.
As the captain of the team, Zhao Xiangqian stayed with the leader from beginning to end, but Zhang Zaimin was not so leisurely. The biggest official he had ever seen in his life was the director. He was so nervous that his palms became sweaty even after speaking twice, not to mention that the leader today was even bigger.
"Comrade, how is the Da'an production team's harvest this year?" the secretary walked to the field and asked the villagers.
Coincidentally, the person he asked happened to be Sun Guixiang. Even though she usually talks loudly about her family affairs, but when she comes in front of the boss, she even shakes like a sieve without saying anything.
"Leader, our production team's harvest this year is much better than last year. Look at these heavy ears of rice. You will definitely no longer have to go hungry. This is all thanks to our great leader, otherwise we would not have the good days of freedom and peace we have today. Yes..." Liu Yufeng burst into praises.
The leader was very happy to hear this and said that she had a high level of ideological awareness.
Sun Guixiang looked at Liu Yufeng blankly. She was fine except when she went crazy. No, going crazy is also targeted, not random. It seemed that for the first time, she discovered that Liu Yufeng was a very good person, and he had been her neighbor for more than 20 years.
The leader walked around the field ridge and returned quickly.
After the busy farming season, the weather gradually turns cooler.
In August 1977, news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread throughout the country, and those who received the news picked up their textbooks to review. In October, major media outlets across the country officially announced the resumption of the college entrance examination and confirmed that the exam will be held in one month.
The loudspeaker in the village played in a loop three times, and the educated youth cried and laughed, and all shed tears of excitement. Zheng Jingwen ran to Wang's house in one breath and hugged Liu Yufeng tightly to vent her emotions.
"Godmother, I finally waited, and I can return!"
"Yes, review well and you will definitely be able to go back." Liu Yufeng smiled kindly. She sincerely hoped that this strong girl could have a bright future.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jianan also wanted to register for the college entrance examination. Wang Jianying asked him to take leave to go home and concentrate on studying like himself, but he didn't listen and continued to stay in the county.
It was very cold on December 11th.
Wang Jianying, Wang Jian'an, Zheng Jingwen, Zhao Jiaojiao and others rushed to the examination room. Due to the gap of ten years, the level of the candidates in this class was uneven, and their age was also very different.
This year’s college entrance examination is implemented in the 3+2 mode. The required subjects are: Chinese, mathematics, and politics. Arts students need to take geography and history, and science students need to take physics and chemistry.
Two days of exams are over, some are happy and some are sad. The question was more difficult than everyone imagined. After Wang Jianying and Zheng Jingwen checked the answers, they stopped arguing and went back to work.
The team seemed to have become quiet again, and the college entrance examination red list at the end of January was posted at the door of the county middle school. The so-called red list is the physical examination line, with a total score of 400. Only those with more than 285 can participate in the physical examination and then fill in the application form.
Wang Jianying had never been so nervous, and her heart seemed to jump out of her mouth. She looked forward from the last row and saw bright red paper and dark names. No, no, no!
Wang Jianying, Wang Jianying, where is Wang Jianying?
Finally, in the fifteenth row, she saw the three words "Wang Jianying" and the familiar admission ticket number!
"Jianying, I passed the exam too!" Zheng Jingwen burst into tears, and Wang Jianying held her hand tightly. It's great that they both passed the exam.
Wang Jian'an's name was not on the red list. Wang Jianying patted his back and said, "If you are not willing to do so, you can take the exam again."
Wang Jian'an smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then. Congratulations."
In the entire Da'an production team, only four people filled out the application form, namely: Zhao Jiaojiao, Su Mingli, Wang Jianying, and Zheng Jingwen. When filling out your application form, the score is unknown and you can only estimate it yourself.
