Chapter 05 The Unruly Teenager
Everyone was silent.
You look at me and I look at you, but you know that Aunt Zhu Wu is telling the truth.
It was 1964, and the originally good spring rain turned into a continuous heavy rain. The crops that had just sprouted leaf buds were about to be soaked to death, but it suddenly stopped on the day Shen Baozhi was born.
The crops were abundant that year.
Everyone had a good year.
How could you forget this?
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth and glared at Aunt Zhu with hatred, "If you are not afraid of being arrested, just continue to promote it. What a lucky star, I think it is just a coincidence."
Fifth Aunt Zhu dared to be rude and scold others, but she really didn't dare to say it blatantly. Mrs. Shen said it was the same thing, which could be regarded as partiality and bragging, but she said, what's going on?
She shut up.
She didn't dare to glare at Aunt Zhang, because her son was a company-level cadre, with good roots, young and promising, so naturally she didn't dare to mess with this old lady.
I can only swallow this breath.
Aunt Zhang was too lazy to pay attention to her, and walked slowly towards the threshing floor, but her heart was wavering. Her son was twenty-two years old, and the marriage was difficult to achieve. In addition, her son was not interested in her, so she was delayed.
It would be great if this girl Xiaoxi became her daughter-in-law. If she didn't have this reputation, she would have come to propose marriage, but she didn't dare.
She took a sip of disgust, shook her head with a wry smile, and suppressed the thought.
In front of the golden wheat field, Shen Mingxi looked at the wheat ears swaying slightly in the morning breeze and quietly counted the wheat grains on them. This year's harvest was actually not good because there was little snow last winter and not much rain in spring. But
Because of this, we should harvest quickly to avoid heavy rains affecting this hard-earned food.
Captain Shen Sanye was the most anxious, with tears at the corners of his mouth. He waved his hand and gave the order to start work. Shen Mingxi grabbed the wheat with his left hand and waved the sickle with his right hand. In the blink of an eye, the pieces of wheat were cut neatly.
She placed it carefully but neatly, and then started the next move without blinking.
Soon, she left most of the people behind.
This includes young men in their prime.
They were all bloody young people. Seeing that they had been left behind by Shen Mingxi in the village, they felt very humiliated. A young man with a dark face, Mou full of energy, began to chase after him.
Others seemed to be stimulated, and no longer worked as laborers, but cut the wheat with their hands and feet. Soon, under the leadership of Shen Yu's family of four, the progress of the Kaoshantun Brigade improved several times than expected.
The happy captain Shen Sanye smiled so much that the goatee on his chin stood up.
Looking at the thin figure in front of him, Mr. Shen couldn't bear it. This girl was only sixteen years old, but she earned full work points like an adult.
Mrs. Shen's family is really partial, but Shen Yu is too filial, doesn't say anything, and works hard without complaining. What else can he do?
Mr. Shen glanced at the direction to the left. There was a group of people cutting the slowest people.
There were five of them in total, and three of them were middle school students in the countryside. They were helping the family to earn some work points during the summer vacation, so he was assigned to a group.
But the other two are different from them.
Among them, the tallest one, the handsome and rebellious boy who was waving his sickle here and there, was the most beloved grandson of his old friend, Mr. Feng.
His name is Feng Anyen.
He is seventeen years old this year.
People are very smart, but they just don’t like reading.
After spending the whole day in the capital causing trouble and fighting, and seeing that if he didn't care, he might end up on the wrong road forever, his doting family members panicked.
Among several choices, Feng Anyen finally agreed to come to Kaoshantun for training.
Because he didn't like the other options.
There is even a juvenile detention center.
Can he go there?
He was so angry that he fell out on the spot.
So after comparing with ulterior motives, Feng Anyen felt that this place was good, at least it was free.
But he has been here for two months.
Mr. Shen was extremely worried.
And the Feng family was really cruel. They didn't give him a penny or even a tael of food stamps, so they just let him rely on his ability to make a living.
Although this child has an unruly temperament, he is very loyal and respectful to him.
But it’s not possible even if you don’t know how to work.
His eyes lit up. That girl in Xiaoxi is smart and knows how to work. Let her teach them. These people know Xiaoxi's reputation as a capable person and will definitely learn it honestly. Besides, they are all the same age as Xiaoxigan. Once she talks about living skills, they will definitely understand.
And this can also allow the creek to rest. The child is just sick and can't work so hard.
Her life is already hard enough.
Without further ado, he shouted loudly, "Shen Mingxi, Shen Mingxi, come here..."
When Shen Mingxi heard the captain calling her, she paused in her movements. Shen Jiawen behind her said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxi, go and have a look. Third Grandpa must have something to do with you."
Shen Mingxi straightened up obediently, slapped his back with his hand, frowned tiredly, but still walked quickly towards Captain Shen Sanye with the sickle.
When he arrived, Shen Mingxi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Mr. Shen with his big clear eyes, waiting for his instructions.
Mr. Shen's serious face softened a lot, and he pointed in the direction to the left, "Xiaoxi, I will give you a task in the past two days. Bring those five children out. Otherwise, they won't even be able to earn rations. , let’s go, Third Grandpa will take you there now.”
In fact, there are only two people who cannot earn food rations.
Shen Mingxi was stunned for a moment.
After glancing in that direction, I didn't really want to go.
But Mr. Shen, always dignified, had already strode towards the five people.
Shen Mingxi had to keep up.
After a while, she stood in front of several boys and girls holding sickles.
Shen Mingxi raised his eyes and looked at them calmly.
One of them is very eye-catching.
Anyone would see him first.
His appearance is excellent.
Her eyebrows are like green mountains, her long eyelashes leave a light shadow on her eyelids, and her dark eyes look very cold.
The collar of the white shirt is slightly open, revealing one clavicle, and the sleeves are rolled up. Although he holds a sickle in his right hand, it is not inconsistent at all, but adds a bit of laziness and unruliness unique to young people.
His name is Feng Anyen.
He is a master who likes to fight. His eyes are a bit like a wolf's cub, and he looks at people with a fierce look. Most people dare not mess with him.
He was also the man that Shen Baozhi chased crazily in his previous life, but couldn't get it.
Shen Mingxi only glanced at him and then calmly looked away.
Except for Feng Anyen, the other four people looked expectantly at the captain and the pretty little girl in front of them.
Shen Mingxi lowered his head and looked at his toes.
Her shoes were torn, but she didn't even notice that the pink and white toes inside were exposed. She looked at the five people in front of her. They were all wearing rubber shoes, especially Feng Anyen, who was actually wearing basketball shoes that became popular only ten years later. .
She stood quietly, without any shame, with a calm demeanor, like an orchid in an empty valley or a green bamboo in the mountains, which made Feng Anyen, who had always been a self-centered person, take a second look at her.
