Reborn in the red age

Chapter 52
What can I say about the sorghum in the Northeast? The rice is rough and not very good in taste, and it is not resistant to hunger. After corn became available, the local commune members did not like sorghum very much, and no one was willing to buy it.

Now it is indeed a staple food in many places, and later it is all used to make wine and feed.

Behind Li Qingfeng were Wang Weimin and several other educated youths. Accountant Liu would not look down upon them. There was obviously plenty of corn, but he was unwilling to sell it to the educated youths.

Afraid that Wang Weimin, a tough guy, would quarrel with Accountant Liu, Li Qingfeng put the bag back on the ground and stepped forward to say nice things to Accountant Liu.

Accountant Liu still gave Li Qingfeng face. After glancing at the few educated youths behind him, he said unhappily: "For your sake, I'll lend them some corn this time. I'll come back to the team next time." The only grain we can borrow is sorghum.”

"Don't worry, it's just this time. I will definitely not make things difficult for you next time I come over." Li Qingfeng nodded first and agreed. As for whether to borrow sorghum or corn next time, we will decide when the time comes.

With Accountant Liu's nod, the food purchase went smoothly. Li Qingfeng stayed with the three of them to buy food. After Hu Jiabao finished buying the food, he ignored Wu Xiangqian who was following him. Li Qingfeng took them with him. The three of them planned to leave.

Perhaps when he saw Qingfeng Li turning his head and no longer staring at the bag of food, the scorer in charge of loading the food thought carefully. When delivering the bag of food to Wu Xiangqian, who was at the end, he touched his little hand with a serious look on his face. , did not show the slightest advantage.

"you"

This action startled Wu Xiangqian. She loosened her hand holding the grain, and the grain bag fell to the ground. The grain was scattered all over the floor. Wu Xiangqian pointed at the scorer angrily and shyly, looking like she had been greatly wronged. appearance.

Li Qingfeng and the others, who were already preparing to leave, didn't understand what was going on. They turned to look at Wu Xiangqian who was pointing at the scorer and was speechless.

Others present also didn't understand what happened, and they all looked over in confusion.

Accountant Liu, who was responsible for registering and collecting money, saw that the new educated youth had a problem, and his face was even more unhappy. He frowned and said displeasedly: "Wu Educated Youth, what's going on with you?"

The scorekeeper was also a little panicked, fearing that Wu Xiangqian would tell him about what he had just taken advantage of. This was a hooliganism, and it was a very serious crime in this era. There was a threat in his eyes, and he said sternly: "Wu Zhiqing, I can If you don’t put food for me, don’t think of wronging a good person.”

Seeing this situation, Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and roughly guessed what had just happened. He sighed. Wu Xiangqian came with him no matter what, so he couldn't ignore it. Instead of speaking out in a hurry, he The grain bag in his hand was placed on the ground, waiting for the development of the situation.

If Wu Xiangqian endured this tone, Li Qingfeng would naturally pretend that nothing happened. If this girl had a strong temper and had to give an explanation, Li Qingfeng couldn't watch this girl being bullied and would definitely stand up and help. A fair statement.

These days, the emphasis is on the collective. No matter how well Qingfeng Li does in the village, unless he marries a wife from the village, otherwise in the eyes of other villagers, Qingfeng Li and Wu Xiangqian are a collective. If one of them is bullied, if they don't help, That would be looked down upon by the villagers.

Since he was so familiar with the captain, why didn't Qingfeng Li build a separate house and move in?It’s because of the collective. If you move out and build your own house, you are breaking away from the collective. If you leave it on your file, it will be a stain.After staring at the scorer fiercely for a while, Wu Xiangqian finally chose the method that most girls in this era would choose. She pretended that nothing happened and gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. I was disgusted by the bugs."

This era is not friendly to women. When faced with being taken advantage of, few dare to speak out in person. Even many girls of this age in later generations do not dare to shout out in public if they are taken advantage of.

The scorer was visibly relieved. He looked at Wu Xiangqian's eyes as fierce as a knife, lowered his head and said nothing, and showed a proud smile at the corner of his mouth where no one else could see.

"Isn't it just a bug? After all, he is an educated youth from the city. He is of no use. Quickly pack up the food on the ground and go back. We are still busy later." Accountant Liu waved impatiently when he heard that it was because of bugs. He waved his hand, urging Wu Xiangqian to leave quickly.

What could Wu Xiangqian say? She could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. She suppressed the grievance in her heart and squatted on the ground to pick up the fallen corn kernels.

Looking at Wu Xiangqian who was picking up corn kernels, Li Qingfeng pouted at the two girls and motioned for them to come over and help.

On the way back to the small courtyard for educated youth, Wu Xiangqian cried all the way while carrying the food. No matter how much Hu Jiabao and Ma Wenhui tried to persuade her, Wu Xiangqian couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.

Knowing that the girl was feeling aggrieved and that she had been taken advantage of but had no way to seek justice, Li Qingfeng thought for a while and then talked to Wang Weimin about the time when he had sacked a salesperson.

After Qingfeng Li finished speaking, Wu Xiangqian stopped crying and had a thoughtful expression. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

When he went to the field the next day, Li Qingfeng was bored with his foreign work. Aunt Zhao from next door came over and said mysteriously: "Li Zhiqing, I heard that when we borrowed food last night, that little bastard Zhao Shengli Did you take advantage of the new Wu Zhiqing?"

"Huh?" Li Qingfeng, whose body was in the ground and whose mind was drifting to nowhere, suddenly woke up after hearing Aunt Zhao's words. He turned around and said in surprise: "What do you mean? Aunt Zhao, where are you from?" What did you hear?"

"It's spread all over the morning. Among the people who borrowed food yesterday, the people in line behind you saw that bastard Zhao Shengli touched Wu Zhiqing's hand." Aunt Zhao said it vividly, as if she saw it with her own eyes. The eyebrows on his face were twitching as he spoke. Fortunately, Qingfeng Li hid quickly, otherwise Aunt Zhao's spit would have sprayed on his face.

After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhao, who was still not satisfied, clicked her tongue and commented on the scorer a few times: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this little bastard Zhao Shengli usually looks like a human being, but he still has the courage to do this. Damn, I really underestimate him."

After listening to Aunt Zhao's story, Li Qingfeng frowned deeply. Someone saw the whole process yesterday, and now everyone in the team knows about it. Let's not talk about Wu Xiangqian. That Zhao Shengli must have a bad reputation. .
