Chapter 71 Wuli Village

Liu Qingqing learned the truth the day before when she took her eldest brother out for a car ride.

Liu Dongfang felt that his sister was cunning and would be able to guess the truth after hearing a few words, so it was better to tell her the truth.

This matter did not involve his sister's interests, so she would definitely not say anything to him.

Liu's mother knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was just suffering from stomach discomfort, so she did not react much, but was more happy.

Old Mrs. Liu: Well, one less person to serve, that's great.

The only family with a big objection was the second son's family.

When the family was divided, one reason was that Liu's mother could not tolerate the two daughters-in-law not working, and she could not take care of everything.

Second, there was no male heir in the entire Liu family, and she hoped to fill one. As soon as the eldest sister-in-law became pregnant, Zhang Dani's sense of superiority immediately disappeared by half, and she did not want to be inferior to others anymore.

Not only Zhang Dani regretted it, but Liu Dongyuan also regretted it because he had to do everything by himself after the separation.

Before the separation, Zhang Dani's mischief was tormenting the other two women, and even if the other party did not accept it, Liu Dongyuan had no pressure.

After the separation, the only target she could make trouble for was Liu Dongyuan. Liu Dongyuan felt under great pressure and he did not want to separate the family anymore.

Liu Dongfang's head shook like a wave drum, and he found wooden boards to reinforce the fence wall in the yard overnight.

Liu Qingqing heard this.

His expression was ┐（─__─）┌

His heart was (　皿)

What kind of family is this.

Considering that her eldest brother is already an outstanding workplace rookie, she still has to bring him along on this trip to Fuhua to show off.

She told Liu Dongfang to put on the Zhongshan suit she brought with her, and put on the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. She looked at the Liberation shoes on her feet, and thought, "Forget it, it's fine."

She had no preparations for shoes.

She didn't stay long in Taoshan Village.

Liu Qingqing's goal today was to visit all the villages in Fuhua Brigade and let the other party know her.

Huahong is wild.

There were only five or six trees on Wulitun Mountain in Fuhua Brigade at first.

After so many years of maintenance by the village, it has become a large area now.

Climbing up more than a hundred meters, there is a pear forest.

Both trees are cold-resistant plants that grow on high-altitude mountains.

In other villages, one worker is about a few cents, and villages with good income can get a few cents.

But Wulitun can earn nearly one yuan per workday thanks to flower bonuses and flower-covered pears.

A strong worker with full work points can earn one yuan a day.

Not to mention in Fuhua Brigade, even in the whole Wuning, it is the first.

Wulitun Village Chief Wu Fuyou is very enthusiastic about Liu Qingqing's identity as a buyer of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative: "Buyer Liu, is it your turn to come to our side to purchase this year?"

"Yes, this year Buyer Chen has to go to southern Anhui, and I am here because he is too busy. Village Chief Wu, let me introduce you, this is Technician Liu from the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences." Liu Qingqing lied calmly, and Liu Dongfang beside him trembled.

Oh my god, I will never be such a high official in my lifetime.

Liu Qingqing smiled and turned to Liu Dongfang and said, "Technician Liu, I'd like to ask you to help our fellow villagers look at the fruit tree seedlings so that the fruit trees in Wuli Village can increase production and increase yield." Her eyebrows were curved, but her eyes were like knives.

Liu Dongfang was afraid that if he didn't act well, he would be killed alive by the girl.

Wu Fuyou was startled, and his enthusiasm increased: "Hey, Technician Liu, hello, I'm sorry to bother you. Welcome to our Wuli Village for inspection. Let's go in and have a drink of water first?"

Liu Dongfang stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party: "Village Chief Wu is too polite. This is what we should do. Only when our fellow villagers live well, we will not be considered to have failed in our duties. I won't drink the water. I want to see the results of our saplings first. Let's go up the mountain now!"

Liu Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Okay, then listen to Technician Liu."

Wu Fuyou was stunned. This is the first time that the people from above don't eat or drink, and just work directly.

He admired in his heart, look, this is the attitude of doing practical things.

Which of the previous purchasers of the supply and marketing cooperatives didn't eat and take?

Wu Fuyou was shocked, and his face was no longer a forced smile, but a heartfelt joy: "Okay, Liu the purchaser, Liu the technician, let's go up the mountain now."

He extended his hand as an invitation and said with a smile: "The names of the two comrades are quite similar."

Liu Qingqing nodded with a smile: "That's right, in our words, they are in the same tune, but Comrade Liu Dongfang is Wendao Liu."

Liu Dongfang was silent. As expected of his sister, she was really good at making up stories.

Chapter 72 Liu——Technician

On the way here, the girl told him a lot of rhetoric.

His hair stood up and his head was about to explode.

The girl used to be very hardworking, but now he feels that Wu Ning is not enough for her.

His mother is also very good at acting, but she can't compare to this one after another. Is the girl better than her?

The environment in the city is so complicated, is it so nurturing?

His wife also asked him to follow the girl and try to get a job in the city.

Now he doesn't want to do it anymore. He is not that kind of person, so he can't play!

Several people passed by the field. The crops in Wuli Village were similar to those in Hexi. Liu Dongfang looked at the crops in the field according to the girl's instructions.

Then he went up the mountain.

Liu Dongfang climbed the mountain very fast, pretending to be calm. He wanted to finish the work as soon as possible.

The girl's 50 cents was too hard to earn.

Wu Fuyou followed behind him with admiration: "Buyer Liu, you see that technician Liu is worthy of being from the Agricultural Science Academy. We can't compare with him in terms of professionalism. He can climb the mountain faster than me."

Liu Qingqing...

What professionalism can you see from climbing a mountain?

"Village Chief Wu, stop calling me Liu the Purchaser Liu, it's really annoying. Just call me Xiao Liu and I'll call you Uncle Wu. We're both fine."

Wu Fuyou turned around and saw the sincerity in Liu Qingqing's eyes: "Hey, okay, we're both fine. That Xiao Liu will come to our house for lunch at noon, so don't call me fine."

Liu Qingqing: "I don't want to be polite to you, Uncle Wu, but Technician Liu is a man who is devoted to research. "I'm going to study here. There are still a few places to go. Next time, I'll go to Uncle Wu's house for a meal."

"Technician Liu has to eat here before leaving. How can he work on an empty stomach?"

Liu Dongfang turned around and refused: "Village Chief Wu, I appreciate your kindness. I have to take the samples back for testing this time. Time is too tight and I can't stay long."

When we arrived at the Huahong Forest, there were protective nets around and villagers guarding it.

"Uncle Wu, our village has done a good job." Liu Qingqing turned around and praised.

Wu Fuyou straightened his back: "Not bad, not bad."

Liu Dongfang followed the instructions of his sister and pretended to check each fruit tree.

After carefully checking the trunk, bark, and leaves.

She proposed to cut off a branch to take away for testing.

Wu Fuyou felt so distressed, as it had already grown fruits.

But she still nodded.

Liu Dongfang had just checked the leaves and touched the trunk, and had already found a thick branch without many fruits.

One of the only two fruits on it had an obvious wormhole.

Wu Fuyou saw the branch Liu Dongfang pointed to and hurriedly asked someone to get a saw.

After sawing off the branch, Liu Dongfang carried it carefully, fearing that the leaves would fall off, but the girl didn't want to.

Then it was the flower-covered pear tree, and the same trick was used again, and two branches were obtained.

On the way down the mountain, Wu Fuyou wanted to help someone carry a branch, but was rejected by Liu Dongfang.

He asked them to have dinner again: "How can you leave without a meal? If you really can't, go home and have some water and some sugar water before you leave."

Liu Dongfang slightly raised the branch in his hand: "Village Chief Wu, this branch can't wait for anyone. I have to take it back to our doctor for testing while it's fresh."

Wu Fuyou hesitated: "Okay, next time, Technician Liu, you must come to our Wuli Village again next time."

After saying goodbye to Wu Fuyou, Liu Qingqing continued to walk around the rest of the village.

Also, he didn't eat but just got to know people. By the way, he asked "Technician Liu" to walk around every village to check the crops.

On the way back to the city, Liu Dongfang was numb.

After pretending to be a technician for the whole morning, he was flattered.

"What are you doing this time, sister?" It's not a scam.

Liu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Improve my personal image, show that I have a wide network of contacts and am capable."

Liu Dongfang was in awe. He didn't expect it. He didn't expect it.

He only thought about the benefits in front of him.

He was short-sighted. No wonder he couldn't compare to the girl.

After sending Liu Dongfang back to Taoshan Village, Liu Qingqing quickly stuffed the branches into the space for transplanting.

The "pollution-free heat fertilizer" that was drawn some time ago can also be distributed with a reason.

There are 50 bags in total. In order to prevent the yield increase effect from being too strong, she used a lot of space soil to mix it in, and diluted one bag into ten bags on average.

This thing is of no use to the land, it is better to add bricks and tiles to agricultural development.

This can be regarded as an excuse.

As for "Technician Liu", she is a character created by the name of the city. Wuning County is quite far away from the city. In the era when it was difficult to move without an introduction letter, few people in the village had ever left the county, let alone go to the Agricultural Science Academy. They were not even qualified to be the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, let alone a researcher.

And Liu Qingqing planned to let the city technician appear once.

Chapter 73 I'm so annoyed

After returning the truck, Liu Qingqing went to Director Li to report her work as usual.

It's not her style to do work without saying anything.

"Director Li, I just passed by and saw that the eggs at the food station seemed to be out of stock again."

Director Li nodded: "Not good, no matter how much we bring, it's not enough." Everywhere counts.

Liu Qingqing: "Director Li, this truck consumes too much fuel. I won't waste collective resources before collecting all the agricultural products. I plan to ride a bicycle for a few days."

I just returned the car and already knew that the car would not be at home tomorrow. It would be the same whether I said it or not, so it's better to say it myself.

Director Li nodded: "Xiao Liu has realized that Fuhua is a bit far away. I will approve a note for you and ask the purchasing department to give you some extra food."

"Director Li is caring for his subordinates. Otherwise, how can we say that our supply and marketing is thriving under your wise leadership? Everyone working under Director Li has a different mental outlook. The leader sets a good example, and the employees are motivated. Our entire supply and marketing cooperative follows you..."

Liu Qingqing immediately showed a happy expression, and her mouth was full of admiration for Director Li.

Director Li was so happy that he was flattered.

————————————

"Sister-in-law, why are you carrying things when you come to visit?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and put a roll of cloth aside: "It's nothing good, it's a welfare from the factory, some defective products." Whenever a machine in a textile factory breaks down, there will be a batch of defective products, which will be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, or sold domestically, and occasionally used as employee welfare.

Liu Qingqing made a cup of sugar water and handed it to Mrs. Zhou: "Sister-in-law, keep it for Fangfang to make new clothes. This bright color is just right for her."

"Qingqing's last time, that matter troubled you two." Mrs. Zhou didn't push it back and went straight to the point.

Liu Qingqing vaguely remembered that it was her eldest niece.

"Sister-in-law, Song Jinglin has not been with the team for a few months. He just came back two days ago."

Mrs. Zhou nodded: "I know, Jinglin called my old Zhou's unit."

Liu Qingqing loves to listen to gossip, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zhou to ask about the follow-up.

Song Jinglin went to the Second Regiment for a walk, and happened to meet a few people chasing Wei Bing and joking.

Grab the letter sent by the female soldiers of the art troupe in his hand.

He didn't even need to ask questions, he stood aside and listened to the general situation.

He didn't want to mix these things in the letter, so he turned around and called Zhou Renyi to tell him the situation.

Mrs. Zhou's niece sent a telegram directly to the political commissar of the Second Regiment according to her uncle's intention.

Mrs. Zhou and her husband meant that they didn't fight for the buns, but for the face, and just reported him.

In this case, even if he is not expelled, he will not be promoted in the next two years.

But Zhou Dasao's sister-in-law did not think so. She considered word by word and made sure to let the leader know that Wei Bing had an engagement, but she could not just bring him back.

In the end, she still did not want to give up the old Wei family.

The political commissar of the second regiment did not know how to deal with it.

The Wei family quickly changed their tone, and now the two families have started to discuss the follow-up of the marriage.

Liu Qingqing's first half sounded okay, but the ending was not pleasant.

It was clear that this family was not good, but they had to go all the way?

I don't understand, I don't understand.

Zhou Dasao also disagreed, saying that she should not marry her niece. After saying this, Dasao and her husband were not happy, and she was too lazy to persuade them anymore.

She spent money and effort, but her elder brother from her mother's family didn't appreciate it.

It was really annoying.

After receiving the remittance, Liu Qingqing sent a letter once a week to maintain "feelings".

It was still the same old phrases of revolutionary capital and revolutionary salute. It seemed that they were not the same concern, but in fact they were almost the same.

In addition, she left the supply and marketing cooperative's phone number so that Song Jinglin could call Director Li's office if he had any urgent matters.

After the 400 yuan, Liu Qingqing received two more remittances, 70 yuan each month.

This old guy didn't treat her badly and left her 10 yuan for self-defense.

Liu Qingqing not only had no objection to Song Jinglin's behavior of leaving money, but also added one letter to her weekly letter, generously saying that she had a salary every month and he didn't need to send it all to her, so that Song Jinglin could keep more for himself.

As for whether to keep it or how much to leave, she didn't say anything, as long as the meaning was conveyed.

Chapter 74 Too Fragrant

The two branches brought back from Wuli Tun grew quickly after being grafted.

However, according to previous experience with apple and orange trees, it will take at least a month for the branches to grow into big trees and then bear fruit.

In time, they can be purchased together with the fruits from Wuli Tun.

Wuli Tun doesn't harvest all the fruits at once.

The early-ripening ones will be picked up first, and the rest will be picked up when the weather gets colder.

These fruit trees are very rare, and the people of Wuli Tun are very careful in their care, which is different from the large tracts of fruit trees in other areas.

Fruits are scarce in Wuning. Apart from the local fruits, the rest are all shipped from outside.

These years, a small amount of oranges and apples can be shipped in, and the rest are frozen persimmons.

People in this area are probably the only ones in the country who think that this is how persimmons should be eaten.

People in other areas still don't understand.

After a week, her truck finally returned with one.

Liu Qingqing stopped salting fish. She said that no matter how many nice things she said, she couldn't stop Director Li from thinking she was being lazy if the stall in Fuhua Brigade was no longer closed.

She called Wuli Village and the brigade in advance and asked the villages there to collect statistics first.

When her truck arrived, she could collect the goods directly, and those who came late would not have to wait.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Wuli Village had a telephone showed that it was wealthy.

On the other side of Hexi Brigade, only the brigade had a telephone, and no other village had one.

Liu Qingqing pulled a truck with egg trays and egg baskets and set off.

She only collected these things from the Hexi Brigade, and they are now enough for recycling. Forget about other places.

When she came to a deserted area along the way, she put the diluted fertilizer in the space into the back bucket.

The head of Wuli Village had been standing at the entrance of the village waiting.

As soon as Liu Qingqing's car appeared in sight, Wu Fuyou waved excitedly.

"Uncle Wu, why are you still waiting here?" Liu Qingqing stopped the car and asked him to get in.

Wu Fuyou looked into the back bucket and saw a lot of urea bags, and his face was full of joy.

"Xiao Liu, isn't Technician Liu here this time?"

"Technician Liu has been transferred to Lincheng. We must cherish Uncle Wu's batch of fertilizers."

Wu Fuyou was a little surprised: "He went to Lincheng? Alas, why can't such a good technician stay in our small place?"

"Good technicians must learn more advanced technology before they can come back to help our fellow countrymen."

Wu Fuyou nodded: "Technician Liu is good in everything, but he smells too good. However, those who work in the laboratory are definitely different from those who work in the fields."

Liu Qingqing was embarrassed for a moment, and she simply made up Liu Dongfang.

The cosmetics had a faint fragrance, which could only be smelled from very close. Unexpectedly, Wu Fuyou had a very sensitive nose.

"I heard that it seems to be researching some fruit tree grafting, and Technician Liu may have been exposed to a lot of pollen."

Wu Fuyou touched the back of his head: "Oh, I am old-fashioned again. It would be great if Technician Liu was still here."

Liu Qingqing advised: "Technician Liu is following the instructions of the Chairman to go to big cities with more advanced technology and more complete equipment to study for the farmers of the whole country, to get rid of poverty, to improve life, and to resist famine. This is a good thing that benefits every citizen."

Wu Fuyou's eyes immediately became respectful: "Xiao Liu, you are right, I am short-sighted. Thank you leader, thank you Technician Liu."

The old and the young are singing together, and they are about to sing the motherland.

When they arrived at the Wulitun team headquarters, Wu Fuyou was the first to call out and asked a few villagers to move the fertilizer.

Then they were busy purchasing.

Chapter 75 The Boy Who Sent His Life

It was September.

Wild walnuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts were basically ready to be harvested. If you wait a little longer, these ripe nuts will fall off automatically.

In previous years, the villagers would pick up the fallen nuts on the ground.

But this year was different. These mountain products could all be sold. If they were not picked early, they would be snatched away by others.

In Taoshan Village, people were busy with the autumn harvest during the day, and went up the mountain again after work.

This year was the busiest year.

Some children would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms in advance after paying their work points. At this time, hazelnut mushrooms, pine tree mushrooms, yellow mushrooms, and thigh mushrooms could all be picked.

Liu Lili led her little sister up the mountain with excitement.

There were also "left and right protectors" around them, clearing the way for them.

Liu Qingqing enjoyed being surrounded by a large group of child soldiers, feeling like a celebrity.

Because the villagers were always active, there were basically no wild animals in this branch, and the children were used to being free-range. Liu Qingqing looked up and saw groups of half-grown children carrying backpacks.

According to the adults in the village, these children could only earn two or three work points a day, which was not enough to exchange for a few cents.

It would be better to go pick mushrooms and exchange money with Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing's reputation in Taoshan Village has changed dramatically, and many of her peers who had a grudge against her have come to her to get close to her.

Of course, only some of them could get away with it. Before Liu Qingqing came, the whole village was at odds with her and she had no friends.

The children were more relaxed, calling each other "little aunt".

In fact, at first, Da Huzi took the lead in calling her "Auntie", which made her completely stunned.

When she called her "Auntie", she felt like she had added 20 years to her age, and immediately shook her head to ask them to change the name.

There were many paths on the hillside, so Liu Lili didn't feel tired when she went up the mountain, and she had to show off her little aunt.

Now showing off candy cubes was not classy, and her little aunt gave her the most face.

"Da Huzi, don't get close to my little aunt, she is my little aunt." She held Liu Qingqing's left hand, staring at her right hand all the time, always on guard against children who came up to steal her aunt.

"Lili, you are unreasonable. I gave you roasted sparrows a few days ago." Da Huzi was not convinced.

Liu Lili put her hands on her hips: "I also gave you candy, but that was the candy I couldn't bear to eat. Now we don't owe each other anything."

Da Huzi's eyes widened. He didn't expect that his little friend would break up as soon as he said he would.

Liu Qingqing smiled and watched the excitement without mixing in. The children broke up today and made up tomorrow. It was all childish fun.

Climbing all the way to a walnut tree, the mushrooms from here down had been swept away. Here you can see some mushrooms on the tree trunks. The children scattered and started looking for mushrooms.

Liu Qingqing pointed to the tree next to her: "Aren't you going to pick this one?"

"Walnut trees grow autumn berries, which are poisonous." Liu Lili hurriedly explained. She knew this because she had just picked a small basket of them a few days ago and was laughed at by her grandmother.

Liu Qingqing tried hard to recall the relevant knowledge, but there were too many types of mushrooms, and her original body was too lazy to understand this aspect and had no memory.

"Lili knows so much, it's great." She praised casually and took out a piece of candy and handed it to Liu Lili.

Seeing that Da Huzi, who had not left, was looking at her eagerly, Liu Qingqing also handed him a piece.

Liu Lili's face flushed slightly. She just knew about this.

She glanced at Da Huzi and thought, forget it, who asked him to be her best friend, so she approved him to eat a piece of candy.

The two children and the adult strolled leisurely, not noticing a shadow following behind them.

Maotou heard the noise when Liu Qingqing and the others came up the mountain.

He shook off his companions and approached, just in time to see Liu Qingqing giving candy to Liu Lili and Da Huzi.

Maotou's eyes were full of jealousy.

Liu Qingqing was obviously his family, but she never gave them good things, but gave them to outsiders.

His mother had been scolding people at home for the past few months, saying that Liu Qingqing was a troublemaker, causing the old Song family to split up and making his family live a bad life.

Although Tian Cuixiang didn't say anything in front of others during this period, she said a lot of bad things about Liu Qingqing when she returned home.

Why didn't she bring things to see the old people and the eldest brother and sister-in-law when she came back from the city?

What kind of mess makes your family restless?

After the separation, Tian Cuixiang also thought about going back to her parents-in-law's house to have a meal or something.

But her father-in-law didn't stay. The children didn't refuse to eat, but what did they eat? It was all the same food.

The children didn't want to go after a few times.

Every time they went, they rushed to the meal time. The old couple didn't make much. Even if they gave a lot to the children, the children didn't eat enough.

As for the cakes that Liu Qingqing brought back.

There was not a piece of it. I heard that the two old people ate it up in the first two days after it was brought back.

If it had been put off before, wouldn't most of it have belonged to her children?

Maotou was indignant in his heart, and his face was even uglier.

He followed the three people secretly, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Liu Lili heard the sound of "clang clang" and pulled Liu Qingqing to see.

When they arrived at the river, they found that Lin Yumo and Lu Xiaoyu were cracking walnut skins.

The juice of the walnut skins flowed into the river beside. It was originally the river water flowing down from the mountain, but because the terrain in this area is high in the west and low in the east, it formed a shallow pool.

After the water accumulated here, it flowed down again.

"What are you doing?" Liu Qingqing pointed to the fish floating in the river.

Lu Xiaoyu was quick to catch one as soon as he saw it floating.

Liu Lili raised her hand: "I know, little aunt, the juice of walnut skins is poisonous." She knew this question, and it was all taught by her grandmother.

Da Huzi nodded: "Yes, my sister and her husband are giving medicine to the fish."

Liu Qingqing...

This river is upstream of the villagers' drinking water. Even if the running water has the ability to purify itself, there may be some residues.

Aren't you afraid of poisoning people?

The two people's faces changed when they heard the voice, and they turned their heads to look at the three people.

"Liu Qingcao, why are you here?"

"Lin Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing, this toxin will affect the drinking water of the villagers downstream. If someone in the village gets hurt, can you afford it?" Liu Qingqing frowned and pulled out all the walnut shells by the river.

There was a noise behind her, and Liu Qingqing bent her waist and saw a black shadow rushing towards her.

She dodged and made way.

With a "plop", the big black rat behind him plunged into the river.

Liu Qingqing calmed down and looked into the water.

This is a hairy boy.

He looked at Lin Yumo who was shocked beside him. This boy was not a boy who brought wealth, but a boy who brought his life.

Chapter 76 Pulling

Although it is a shallow pool, the water level is more than one meter high.

Logically speaking, Maotou is a good swimmer and should be able to come out quickly.

But for some reason, he struggled in the water for two times and still did not slow down.

Liu Qingqing cursed in her heart, there is indeed a plot, and they really want her to die near the heroine and explode her equipment.

If it were her, she would definitely die.

People who can't swim will drown even if the water level is less than the waist. The principle is that when people find imbalance, they will use their arms to find the ground for leverage, but in water that exceeds the length of the arm, once the arm is used to support, the mouth and nose will enter the water. The person will lose balance and use his arms to support again out of reflex...

This is how drowning in shallow water happens.

"Lin Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing, can you two swim? Save people." She couldn't. She couldn't come back in this life or the past life. Besides, if she went in, she would never come back.

Lu Xiaoyu seemed to react and jumped in to grab the struggling people.

Maotou's waving hands grabbed people tightly until Lu Xiaoyu hit him on the head twice and pulled the semi-conscious man up.

The children who were picking mushrooms around had been attracted by the sound for a long time, and they came over one after another.

Liu Qingqing glanced at Lin Yumo who was doing chest compressions on Maotou on the ground, turned around and called Dahuzi, told him a few words on what to say, and asked him to call the village chief.

Seeing that the heroine was good at first aid, she did not interfere.

Liu Lili, who heard the conversation nearby, rolled her eyes and called a few little followers to run down with Da Huzi.

The place where they were was not too far from the ground at the foot of the mountain.

Da Huzi and his friends walked quickly and talked at once, and soon explained the situation clearly.

When the village chief heard it, he threw down the farm tools in his hands and called a few strong men to go up the mountain.

The other people in the village looked at each other, threw down their work, and followed them closely.

Liu Lili and Da Huzi separated halfway to find her grandmother.

In addition, she also asked a follower to shout to her mother, so that her father would not need to send anyone, because they were all with the village chief, and they could go there after hearing the message.

Liu's mother sat among a group of old ladies peeling corn kernels, still fulfilling her duty of exaggerating, vigorously promoting how excellent her daughter was.

Liu Lili's calves shook like a little whirlwind, and she plunged directly into the crowd: "Grandma, the old Song family's young man fell into the old pit. The pit was full of walnut shell juice smashed by Lin and Lu Zhiqing. The young man was rescued but still not awake. You told me that stuff is poisonous. Grandma, you said he can't be poisoned to death!"

The group of old ladies suddenly became quiet, and Song's mother was struck by lightning. She got up from the ground and ran up the mountain in a panic.

Liu's mother looked at the old ladies who left and curled her lips: "That child is just born with bad luck. The old Song family doesn't learn from their mistakes."

Liu Lili pulled her sleeves. Liu's mother looked at her and followed her gesture to go up the mountain: "What's wrong?"

Liu's mother looked puzzled. Although she was a relative of the old Song family, she didn't want to see the young man.

She might as well chat with him if she had the free time.

Liu Lili glanced around and said in a low voice when she saw that there was no one around: "My aunt and I were talking to the two educated youths at the old pit, and Maotou suddenly came out and tried to push my aunt, but my aunt dodged and fell in by himself."

Liu's mother slapped her thigh: "Why didn't you say it earlier, this bitch is so heartless..."

"Grandma, keep your voice down, my aunt didn't suffer any loss, and now we don't know whether he is dead or alive. It was originally a matter between the two educated youths and Maotou. If you shout it out, you will have to drag my aunt into it."

Liu's mother stared at Liu Lili. How could such a smart kid be so cunning?

Liu Lili laughed embarrassedly, "I heard my aunt asked Da Huzi to tell the village chief, that's what she meant."

Mother Liu straightened her back and quickly went up the mountain with her legs shaking.

Look, my old lady, follow me.

When the village chief reached the halfway point of the mountain, Maotou had already woken up.

The group of people finally let go of their worries. Tian Cuixiang squeezed through the crowd and rushed to Maotou who was still lying on the ground, hugging her son and crying.

The village chief frowned and looked at the mess on the shore, scattered walnuts, broken walnut shells dripping with juice, fish with their stomachs ripped open on the shore and their bellies turned upside down in the water, and two female educated youth.

"Didn't you two ask for leave because you were not feeling well? Why did you go up the mountain if you were not feeling well?"

The two bowed their heads in silence. No one said anything.

The village chief looked at Lu Xiaoyu's wet clothes, frowned and said nothing more because she saved people in time.

"Dachun, tell your wife to stop crying there, change the child's clothes and carry him back."

Song Jingchun said "Hey hey" twice, and quickly responded to carry the child.

The old couple of the Song family supported the child, and the other took off his clothes and put them on. The three of them hurriedly ran down the mountain.

Lin Yumo hesitated for a while and said: "Liu Qingcao was here just now..."

She didn't see how Maotou got here, but it was easy to guess in this situation.

Tian Cuixiang interrupted her with a high-pitched cry, and turned to look at Liu Qingqing with red eyes: "How could you let your nephew fall into the water? Why didn't you save him and just watched him?"

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes, and said something crazy: "First, we didn't see him on the way here. When we saw him, he was already in the water. Second, I can't swim. Ask the two educated youths who can swim to save him. What do you mean, no matter whether others will see your son in the water, you have to go in?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes moved to Liu's mother who was near Tian Cuixiang.

Liu's mother rushed out as if she received a signal: "That's right, my dead man saved your son and lost his life. Since then, no one in our family is allowed to go into the river. Why don't you look for the reason from yourself? Your child is guilty of this, one time or another. Why do you always want to take other people's lives to pay for it?"

Chapter 77 Conflict

The elder sisters who had recently developed Liu Mu agreed in a low voice: "It seems to be true. The child of the old Song family might have a flood. It happens every time. Whoever saves him will have to sacrifice his own life."

Another old woman nodded: "It's been said before. This is called a scapegoat."

"Oh, that's too scary. Let's stay away from it, so as not to be dragged to exchange one life for another."

"Don't talk nonsense, the village chief is still It's here."

"Yes, let's go home and talk about it."

The veins on the village chief's forehead jumped a few times: "Jingchun's family, why don't you go back and see the children quickly? You are doing useless things here. Let Wang Youde take a look. The wild walnut skin water has killed so many old fish."

Tian Cuixiang was quite grateful to the educated youth for saving her son. Following the words of the village chief, she saw that the old fish were floating on the water.

She screamed again and ran down the mountain after Song Jingchun.

The village chief called a few people to clean up the mess on the river bank, and then took the two female educated youth down the mountain.

A group of people walked down the mountain as they came.

"Village chief, the water is poisoned."

The village chief nodded: "Village residents should not go to fetch water in the next two days. Those who are really short of water can go upstream."

The nearby villagers glared at Lin Yumo and Lu Xiaoyu after hearing this.

Lu Xiaoyu shrank back behind Lin Yumo. This was not her suggestion.

Lin Yumo looked at her with contempt, and raised his chin amid the condemnation of the people around him: "Village chief, there are only some alkaline substances in the walnut skin, which will not cause much impact. After the river water is diluted, people will be fine after drinking it. The body can metabolize it in a few days."

Village chief Ning frowned. No matter what she said, they must not be careless. If something really happened, it would be over.

Although the villagers around didn't understand, they all calmed down after seeing her speak so forcefully.

Perhaps the educated youth in the city were more educated and understood better than them.

Arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Met Wang Youde who had just come out of Old Song's house.

"Old Wang, how is the child?"

Wang Youde: "The child has a bit of difficulty breathing, and his hands and feet are not very obedient. I don't have any medicine for the symptoms. Let them observe and send him to the city if he doesn't work."

Village Chief Ning's wrinkled brows were knitted again.

He told everyone to go back to work and turned to go to Old Song's house.

Liu's mother took a look and also pulled the old lady to follow.

If this brat is fine, he will definitely make a scene and skin him alive.

If he is fine, well, forget it, just keep quiet.

In the Song family courtyard, many people who were just looking for trouble had already arrived.

Liu Qingqing followed the village chief into the house. The brat was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

The village chief came over to take a look. His face was red and his breathing was shallow.

"If he is not okay, send him to the hospital immediately. I don't know how much water he drank."

Tian Cuixiang hesitated. It seemed that he had a cold. If he went through more trouble, it would be more serious.

"Give him some sugar and salt water. A mild alkali poisoning can be neutralized by drinking some glucose water."

Lin Yumo followed them at some point. Everyone turned around to look at her. She squeezed to the front and said, "There is so much water in the river. The juice has been diluted long ago. It won't be serious."

Liu Qingqing's eyelids twitched. Damn glucose water = sugar and salt water.

She thought this person knew the types of toxins in walnut skins and was very confident. He had learned a lot.

"Sister-in-law, we still have to take him to the hospital. Take my bike and don't delay the child."

"Yes, big brother, you ride your sister-in-law's bike and tie the child to your back." Father Song instructed.

Tian Cuixiang heard a word and only heard one sentence - give him some sugar and salt water.

She hurried to the kitchen and scooped a big spoon of sugar and salt.

Neither Song's father, Song's mother, nor the village chief persuaded her.

Several people left the Song family.

After such an incident.

Liu Qingqing did not stay any longer, since the village accountant also had a bicycle.

Chapter 78 Less trouble

When Liu Qingqing came to Taoshan Village to transport goods again, the Song family had already set up a stall in the yard.

The situation developed so quickly that Liu Qingqing was in a trance.

The Song family did not notify her, probably because they knew she would come in the next two days.

Liu Qingqing handed the stall to Liu Dongfang and hurried to the old Song family.

Liu's mother also followed. They were all relatives, and it would be wrong not to go.

Along the way, Liu's mother told her the specific situation in detail. The little boy started to twitch and talk nonsense on the second day.

The village doctor also treated it as a cold and fever.

On the third day, he was almost out of breath, so he was rushed to the hospital.

On the way, he was basically dead, and when he arrived at the hospital, they just rolled their eyes and let him go back.

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Where are the two educated youth?"

"The village chief was sent to the commune. I heard that they will be exiled to the northwest." Liu's mother curled her lips, and she said that these educated youth were making trouble in the village.

The two of them went to Song's house.

There was nothing to do for the child's funeral.

Tian Cuixiang sat on the edge of the wooden board, holding Maotou's cold hand, and was stunned and unresponsive to the surroundings.

Liu Qingqing took out a piece of money for Song's mother according to the gift situation among relatives in the village.

"Mom, you can pass it to my eldest brother and others later."

Song's mother wiped her tears and nodded.

There is only one grandson, and this is gone.

She felt sad.

After waiting for a while, Liu Qingqing and Liu's mother left the Song family.

There was really nothing to say to comfort her, so she turned around and kept on talking.

The mother and daughter walked a short distance when they heard a voice behind them.

Liu Qingqing turned around and saw Tian Cuixiang running out in a hurry with her hands raised.

Just as Liu's mother was about to roll up her sleeves to fight, she saw that the old lady had already pushed her to the ground.

Tian Cuixiang turned her head and looked at her with anger in her eyes: "Lin Zhiqing told me that Maotou was going for you at that time. If you didn't hide..."

What the hell is this nonsense.

She had a lot of strength in her hands, and Tian Cuixiang couldn't move. She also felt pain in her arm, as if it was going to break.

Liu Qingqing clapped her hands and stood up, saying to her mother who was about to get angry: "In fact, I didn't see it, and I wasn't attacked from behind. In other words, if it's really like what you said, that he wanted to kill people at such a young age, then your son is really vicious. What kind of hatred can we have? Let's not talk about the kindness of my father saving his life. Just say that in these years, I have not had much contact with your kid. We haven't even spoken to each other for nearly a year. So what kind of hatred do you have that makes him want to kill me?"

Tian Cuixiang was hesitant and didn't know what to say. Could it be because I scolded her every day at home?

"Instead of asking these questions here, why don't you think about it, was it me who killed him? Did you ask other people present? Did you only listen to Lin Zhiqing's words? Or that sentence, if he really wanted to push me into the water as you said, what would be the final result for him if I died? He would be caught and shot by the police!"

Liu Qingqing spoke quickly, not letting Tian Cuixiang interrupt: "You are pushing it to me now just to find a target of hatred. In fact, don't you know it yourself? What really killed him was the walnut skin juice in the water. It was you who believed the nonsense of feeding sugar and salt water, and it was you who delayed sending him to the hospital."

Tian Cuixiang seemed to be struck by lightning. Yes, it was her. She was the one who killed Maotou.

No, it was all the fault of that Lin surname. If she hadn't smashed the walnut skin, if she hadn't said that he didn't need to be sent to the hospital...

Looking at Tian Cuixiang who got up and was a little crazy.

Liu Qingqing dragged her mother away.

Liu's mother was not satisfied with Liu Qingqing's soft words: "You shouldn't be nice to her. If I want her, I have to slap her."

"If I really want to scold her, I won't stay in the village. The question is, are you afraid of suicide revenge?" Once this person loses his mind, he will risk his life to drag your family down.

Why can't I go head-to-head with anyone else?

Diverting hatred is the most important thing.

The flesh on Liu's mother's face trembled. The old lady's words were really scary.

Chapter 79 Always Blame It on Others

Liu Qingqing didn't expect to hear the sequel of the incident.

In order to reduce her own guilt, Lu Xiaoyu pushed all the responsibility onto Lin Yumo.

In addition, she also reported that Lin Yumo and she were going to sell the fish they caught to others by cracking walnut juice, trying to make up for her crime.

Now, in addition to embezzlement of collective property and manslaughter, there is another charge - speculation.

After interrogation, she also followed Lin Yumo to find a black market second-hand dealer.

Before the crackdown in 1983, the situation of crime was relatively lenient, and there was no shooting at every turn.

Lu Xiaoyu was sent to the Northwest Labor Reform Farm and then to the Beize Farm. Compared to the far Northwest, the Beize Farm is a labor reform farm in the province, with much better conditions than there, and only three years.

Lin Yumo was promoted from eight years in the Northwest Labor Reform Farm to thirteen years.

At this time, those who committed crimes were sent to the labor reform brigade, and most of those who could be sent to regular prisons were serious criminals with longer sentences.

In the late 1990s, this kind of labor reform brigade was gradually abolished, and all prisoners were not allowed to work outside, and could only be reformed by labor within the high walls.

Once this happened, not only Taoshan Village was in chaos, but Wuning was also a little turbulent.

Even in the alleys that Liu Qingqing passed by and had been abandoned by the black market, people on patrol were often seen coming and going.

Speculation and profiteering were once again ruthlessly cleaned up, and the underground market became quiet. Even the well-informed old ladies in the alleys no longer heard any information about the black market.

Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Liu Qingqing put away all her tricks and refused everyone who asked her to bring something.

Don't be stubborn and go against the wind just because you think you have no problem.

Things that may be reasonable at ordinary times may be used as examples by others when they are in the limelight.

She cherishes her life very much and doesn't want to eat the food of the labor reform brigade at all. Let others experience the days of "holding a nest of buns in your hands and not a drop of oil in your soup".

She counted the small 1,000 yuan she had. The fixed lottery program after the monthly salary remained unchanged. The rest of the money and the money sent by Song Jinglin were so much. In those days, it was rare to be so rich.

She adjusted her state of mind and went to work normally. Every morning, she went to Director Li's human-shaped clock-in as usual.

——————————

The saying of "scapegoat" in Taoshan Village has been very popular for a while.

At first, it was just a few old ladies who said it casually. Later, everyone thought about it and it seemed to be true.

This guy was just unlucky. Liu Youcai went to save him, but he was dragged to take his life. ,

Yan Wang seduced the wrong person, but he didn't want to seduce again!

Let's just take her away this time!

Even the village chief couldn't stop her, and the old lady wasn't afraid of the charge of feudal superstition.

They didn't say it openly, they just talked about it privately among the good sisters.

For a while, every family kept their children from going to the river.

What if that damned ghost took their children to replace their lives?

After hearing these words, Liu's mother kept saying "Oh my God, my life" for several days.

After Tian Cuixiang added all her hatred to Lin Zhiqing, she didn't expect that the person would be taken away directly.

She didn't vent her anger, and began to think about the details from the beginning to find out where she was not responsible.

Originally, she still thought that Liu Qingqing was the most responsible, but she was too far away, and the strength of the hand that day was really great. She didn't know that this person was so powerful before.

Hearing these gossips in the village, Tian Cuixiang seemed to have found the root cause.

Yes, this child is born with a conflict with water. When he was a child, he always choked when drinking water...

Song Jingchun looked at the crazy person and didn't know what to do for a while.

He called Tian Cuixiang several times, but seeing that she didn't respond at all and didn't care about the two girls, Song Jingchun sighed "Ah!".

He squatted on the door sill and grabbed his hair.

Chapter 80 Hypocritical Gentleman

Liu Qingqing didn't know that Tian Cuixiang had gone so far as to push the responsibility onto Prince Yan...

She was just analyzing rationally that day, and her words were on point.

As for what Tian Cuixiang thought and whether she would listen to her, that was her own business.

Whether he wanted to seek revenge on her or something, it didn't matter, she had plenty of people to protect her life.

But she didn't expect that the man would be frightened by just a strong grab.

September and October should be the busiest time for all the people. The village was busy with the autumn harvest, harvesting private plots, drying vegetables, and drying mushrooms.

Liu Qingqing was busy going to various villages to buy these. Except for fruits and eggs, they were all things that were easy to store and transport.

I am not afraid of harvesting too many dried vegetables, after all, winter is coming soon when there is no vegetables, and the food station cannot just sell potatoes and cabbage.

The work is almost done, and it is the end of October.

Liu Qingqing has nothing to do, and she goes home to lie down after clocking in.

Knowing that she is taking a break, Fu Meili also took a day off and brought her new blind date to the door.

——————————

"Hey, you two are watching a movie, what do you want me to do?" I have to find a light bulb.

Fu Meili shyly glanced at the person standing upright in the yard, and seeing that he was not looking here, she leaned over to Liu Qingqing's ear and whispered: "Please help me observe, if there is no problem, I will order it."

Liu Qingqing: "..."

When did she have this ability?

If she is so good at seeing, can she still go on blind dates all her life?

Fu Meili didn't care about her and dragged her out: "You don't have anything to do, just accompany me to watch a movie, and I'll treat you to a state-owned hotel after the movie."

Liu Qingqing nodded, okay, she has been around for so long and has only one friend, so she still needs to get along with him.

She used to have a bad personality when she was in school and didn't like to make friends.

Her mother always mocked her, saying that Qin Hui had three good friends, but she didn't have any.

I really want her mother to take a look, see, she has a friend not long after coming to this place.

The two walked out of the yard hand in hand. Sun Zhihua, who was standing in the yard, greeted them with a smile: "I heard from Meili that you are a purchaser in the supply and marketing cooperative? That's amazing. You are young and promising with a bright future."

"Well, Comrade Sun, you are overjoyed. I heard that you work in our county newspaper? That's amazing. You are a talented and cultured person."

Liu Qingqing adhered to the principle of "you are polite, I am more polite". No one can praise anyone.

The two walked here. Sun Zhihua wanted to ride a bicycle. Riding a bicycle on the street these days is like a convertible sports car in the future. It's cool.

It's not nice for unmarried men and women to ride a bicycle. Moreover, it snowed a few days ago. It's very cold and slippery to ride a bicycle. Fu Meili was determined not to ride it.

After the greetings, Liu Qingqing locked the door, and the three of them walked to the cinema together.

She took a quick look at Sun Zhihua, who had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight body. Judging from his appearance, he had good conditions and met the aesthetic requirements of this era.

Fu Meili pulled her to walk in front, chattering, sometimes about harvesting grain, sometimes about colleagues.

Sun Zhihua followed the two of them not far away, smiling all the time, looking quite stable.

Although she left space for the two to talk, Fu Meili still didn't talk about him in front of him.

When they arrived at the door of the cinema, Sun Zhihua took the initiative to buy movie tickets and melon seed soda.

Liu Qingqing quickly refused. This was different from the later generations. If the other party insisted on paying, then pay. Anyway, everyone had enough money, and there would be give and take in the future.

She bought her own share, and Sun Zhihua's eyes twinkled and he smiled: "You are Meili's friend, so you are my friend. That's too polite."

Liu Qingqing: "Meili and I also bought our own. There is no reason for you to spend money, right, Meili."

Although Fu Meili was confused, she nodded: "Yeah, yes."

Qingqing said whatever she said.

Although they usually treated each other, it was about the same.

Sun Zhihua nodded, glanced at Liu Qingqing again, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, so fast that no one noticed.

This woman is not bad, she works in a good company and looks pretty good, much prettier than Fu Meili.

From how she spends money, we can tell that her family is well-off. If her family is average, she would have to pay her salary to her family.

However, Fu Meili's family is more well-off, and she has people working in several factories.

Man Wuning probably can't find many people with her conditions.

As for the one in front of him...

Let's observe for now.
