Chapter 393 70 Don't Care About Saving Face 7 (The End)
The Zeng family's old residence.
Uncle Zeng ordered three young men to carry the family's pickled vegetables, which were brought from Uncle Zeng's mother's house, out the door.
She went to see her younger brother.
No wonder this family doesn't gain weight.
They really worry about things.
The three young men of the Zeng family, having been ordered to visit other households, rushed out of the courtyard and disappeared without a trace.
Uncle Zeng stretched out his long arm but only managed to grab a handful of air.
Forget it.
It's a good thing that children are quick on their feet.
Zeng Sanxiao, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was two years younger than Zeng Yueping. He was also someone who found reading difficult, barely able to pronounce words with missing parts.
Didn't take a few steps.
The two illiterate children met by chance at a corner in the village.
A sneer of provocation.
One remained silent and patient.
Don't mistake this for Zeng Sanxiao's respect for the elderly and love for the young.
The reason why Sister Ping didn't confront him today was simply because Zeng Sanzi still remembered that his beloved younger brother and father were behind him.
"Where have you been playing again, you little rascal?"
Zeng Sanxiao pouted and shook the bowl of pickled vegetables in his hand.
I hope Sister Ping will be sensible and say a few kind words to me.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yueping dropped a bombshell under the starlight—a small half of a fresh fish body.
Zeng Sanxiao's pouting lips immediately turned into a smile.
"I'm going to visit you, Sister Ping, and bring you some delicious pickled vegetables."
Uncle Zeng then reached a secluded corner.
He saw Tupo's daughter sneaking out in the dark, and his expression was a little unpleasant. He gestured to his three sons to help his cousin carry her things, and then he walked quickly ahead.
Zeng Yueping did not refuse.
And inwardly, he gloated that his father was about to get scolded again.
You might say that Zeng Tupo and Wang Meihua didn't love children.
That is definitely not possible.
But these two are so carefree that they let a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl deliver fish in the dark.
Oh.
Correct.
Lynx was following behind.
Uncle Zeng didn't see the lynx in the shadows. He quickly walked to Zeng Tupo's house and knocked several times, but no one was home.
He wiped his face and resigned himself to being a thief.
With his old arms and legs, he nimbly flipped over the wall, entered the house, and opened the door bolt.
Waiting for the two short-legged teenagers to slowly arrive behind me.
Xiao Lang and the Zhai family members heard the commotion and, after confirming that it wasn't some scoundrel, continued with their work.
Unlike Zeng Tupo Wang Meihua, who went out to find wild water to bathe.
Xiao Langzhai's family always had a lot of work to do, making them more like the Zeng family than Zeng Tupo and his two companions.
to be frank.
Zeng Tupo also muttered something incoherently in the old house.
He only got a beating from his own parents and lost his right to feed him for a month, which finally corrected Zeng Tupo's habit of making up stories.
......
Just a short while after Zeng Yueping and the others walked over.
Uncle Zeng had already quickly tidied up her yard.
Wasn't the original owner's family also living a life of being pampered?
If Uncle Zeng were incredibly wealthy, he would definitely be a domineering, brother-obsessed maniac.
Zeng Sanxiao did not have this awareness.
His mind was preoccupied with the fish.
My father shoved a broom into my hand, and I mechanically swept away the cobwebs in the yard and house.
They were finally relieved when Zeng Tupo and Wang Meihua returned with wet hair and faces.
Then it was time for the adults to talk.
Zeng Sanxiao was again assigned by his uncle to pull weeds in the private plot.
Zeng Yueping, whose status was different from his, slowly wove grasshoppers and dragonflies out of wild grass.
Ah!
Want to learn.
Zeng Sanxiao immediately became attached to Sister Ping.
Despite not being particularly skillful with his hands, he mastered the techniques through sheer perseverance.
He was also curious about how his cousin knew this skill that no one in the family knew.
Uncle Zeng gave a boastful reply: "I learned it after watching it a few times at the market."
hateful.
Zeng Sanxiao's eyes were filled with accusation.
I hope my biological father will open his eyes and see who his real son is.
That is, during this period of time.
Xiao Langzhai and his family were taken away.
Unlike the quiet departure, the Xiao Langzhai family had quite a bit of liveliness this time around. The Fu family in the capital was unusually understanding and gave them time to say goodbye.
As long as you don't just spout nonsense, it's fine.
Zeng Tupo's family was Xiao Langzhai's only neighbor.
They received a lot of broken pots and rotten knives that Xiao Langzhai had moved over in advance.
They didn't send the old hen that laid eggs; they planned to take it to the city to eat. The awkwardness was somewhat alleviated by their busy schedule.
Boss Yi, the black market operator, became a local bully for once.
He pretended to be trying to build connections by taking on the task of sending people to Beijing.
With her heartless nature around, Xiao Lang and the others had heard a lot about palace intrigue, domestic drama, and the dark side of human nature from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. When they arrived at the Fu family, they simply started to give up.
numb.
We can't win.
I just want to live a good life.
If all else fails, taking more money and coupons back to the village to farm is also an option.
The Xiao Langzhai family, who had lost their fighting spirit but still dared to be disgusting, just happened to suit the wishes of a certain elder.
After the opening, they quickly left the Fu family's Gu-breeding den with the other party.
They returned to farming.
Speaking of disgusting people.
The inspiration for this came from Zeng Yueping, a former neighbor.
They were childhood sweethearts during a difficult era, people who could get together to cut pig feed and pick beans.
Xiao Langzhai and his younger sister aren't stupid either.
She always gets her revenge in unpredictable ways when she's mistreated in the Fu family.
The most basic form of harming yourself and others is farting loudly while eating beans at the dinner table.
Anyway, as long as someone says something unpleasant, the two of them will shamelessly go over to that person and start arguing.
There are even more disgusting ones.
He was just picking his nose on purpose.
Once again, Xiao Langzhai got so engrossed in digging that he drew blood from his nose, a dark chapter in his life that he can never forget.
This confirms that Xiao Langzhai is indeed Xiao Lang's biological mother.
Otherwise, the Fu family would definitely have arranged for them to go to the "farm" for a few years of training before making any decisions.
Instead of making people do temporary work.
There are also night school sessions available every day.
Little did Xiao Langzhai know that he and his younger sister had spent the whole night learning how to poison people, but they still couldn't match Zeng Yueping's effortless skill in poisoning.
......
For every person who hates something, there is someone who appreciates it.
Zeng Yueping had reason to suspect that the person who "appreciated" him was thinking about how to use the marriage between Xiao Lang and Zhai to harm others.
But these are all things that happen far away.
It had nothing to do with her life working in the fields.
Zeng Tupo and Wang Meihua had eaten their fill of meat, and were therefore more willing to work a little more, even while slurping and shouting.
You have to do it.
If they don't accept their daughter, they'll say they want to adopt the third son of the old family as their younger brother.
I'll come and support her.
God.
Whoever wants to raise a half-grown boy can do so.
He knew that the earthen slope was definitely not suitable for raising livestock.
Unfortunately, Zeng Yueping's grandparents, uncle, and aunt all let this child run wild.
Let's do it!
They are supported by Comrade Lynx.
They won't die from exhaustion.
It seems that making a wish while looking at the Little Red Book does work; they actually started to have meat to eat, and the vegetables in their home grew better than before.
Except for the unlucky educated youth.
She went mad ever since Xiao Langzhai left the Honggu production team ahead of schedule.
She took everything from the house; her father and mother didn't care for her. What was she going to do if Xiao Langzhai just left like that?
The brigade leader tried to send the person to the educated youth office to apply for a sick leave and return to the city.
But he brushed me off with a few words.
They said that since everyone's household registration had been transferred, they were now part of the production team. As the team leader, how could he run away from difficulties?
This was not because the educated youth office was deliberately making things difficult for the Honggu production team.
The main problem is that it's expensive to send this crazy person back to the city, not to mention what if her parents try to extort money from her?
The atmosphere in the Honggu production team is alright.
Let life end here.
Cutting it in one stroke is an example.
Xiang, a sent-down youth, did not live to see the day the college entrance examination was reinstated.
She saw Xiao Langzhai, a successful middle-aged man, waving at her from the riverbank.
They willingly waded into the water.
It terrified a group of children who were secretly playing in the water.
Zeng Tupo and Wang Meihua were surprised by the suddenness of the death. They went to the old village chief's house together and circled around it twice, stammering out many words of thanks.
After much deliberation, the old village chief reported the two men to Old Man Zeng.
The educated youth went mad first.
He didn't want to see Zeng Tupo and his wife also contract this strange ailment.
......
Years later.
Those sent-down youth who went on to study or abandoned their wives and children scattered like dandelions in the wind.
Honggu Production Team has been reorganized into Honggu Village.
Xiao Langzhai brought his parents back and worked on repairing roads and building schools.
Forced to hitch a ride on Boss Yi's coattails, Zeng Tupo and Wang Meihua transformed into small business owners they never dared to dream of before.
Humans no longer need to feed it.
Comrade Lynx chose a time to log off on time.
Rong Xiaoshu considers the entire land of Honggu Village as his own territory.
Trees, fruits, grass, grains—grow well for me!
That big sweet potato was truly cultivated into a marvel by Uncle Zeng's family.
Zeng Yueping and her parents saw off her grandparents, uncle, and aunt, and then welcomed her own return.
The youngest of the three boys.
But his beard, eyebrows, and hair were also gray.
He stayed to care for his descendants for several more years before passing away.
The Zeng family members are all buried together, so there's no worry about my cousins not having anyone to sweep their graves.
