Chapter 162: Being Driven Away from Work
After the meat was distributed, the villagers were busy slaughtering the pigs and preparing the dishes.
Liu Jingxue thought that she couldn't just sit there and eat, so she had to help with some work, so she ran over to ask what she could do.
Who knew that the aunties and aunties in the village didn't need her to get involved at all. They said she had no experience in making pig-killing dishes and couldn't keep up with their pace, so they asked her to go play with the children.
After being kicked out, Liu Jingxue saw Zhang Yingchun and Xia Lan covering their mouths and laughing secretly.
"How come you, the celebrity in the village, were also driven out by the aunts and aunties?" Xia Lan said with a smile.
Liu Jingxue was surprised to hear her say this, "You used the word ye, were you also kicked out?"
The two of them nodded in acknowledgement without any shame.
"We didn't do anything, we just asked them what we should do, how to cut the vegetables, and what side dishes to prepare.
They think we are just making trouble, and they have already finished their work by themselves instead of talking." Zhang Yingchun said with a little grievance.
Although she had not done much work at home before, she had been in the countryside for so long that she had developed some work skills, but she did not expect that she would still be despised.
"So they just kicked you out." Liu Jingxue said with a smile.
"Then I was simply dragged down by you. I was kicked out before I even said anything."
Xia Lan didn't want to take the blame for this, she immediately retorted, "You are wrong, it's not us who have implicated you.
Now in the villagers' minds, you, Liu Zhiqing, are their great benefactor, so how could they bear to let you work? "
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she shook her head in amusement, "You come to laugh at me too.
But seriously, I didn't see you guys when the meat was being distributed just now, did you talk to the captain about it?"
Zhang Yingchun nodded, "We have already told the captain.
The captain was actually quite easy to talk to. As soon as we told him about our problem, he agreed immediately.
He said he would not make things difficult for the two of us, and that he would deliver the meat and the butcher's dishes, and by the way, ask about their business talks."
"Not only the captain, but the villagers in this village, as a whole, are all very good and will not deliberately bully the educated youth." Xia Lan whispered to the two.
"I had a classmate who went to another place to work in the countryside, and we kept in touch through letters.
According to her, the villagers there looked down on the educated youth, but they were eyeing the little money they had and tried every means to cheat them.
There are still many second-rate guys in the village. Due to their bad reputation, girls from the same village or neighboring villages are unwilling to marry them.
They targeted the educated women who went to the countryside, and took advantage of the fact that they were away from home and had no one to help them, and planned to ruin their reputations so that they would have to marry them.
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly pulled the two of them to a secret place.
"Why are you saying such things here? What if the villagers hear it?" Liu Jingxue reminded.
Xia Lan said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, I only dared to say it after seeing that there was no one around.
Besides, didn’t I just say that the villagers in our village are good? I was saying bad things about the villagers in other places. They shouldn’t misunderstand me, right?”
Liu Jingxue said worriedly, "We can't say that here, what if they misheard it?
We don’t know how many years we will be here, so we should not ruin our relationship with the villagers.”
He remembered that Aunt Sufen had asked them to beware of certain people at the educated youth center, but she didn't specify who they were.
Xia Lan has been in the countryside for a year. Maybe she knows something about the situation. Why not ask her?
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue said, "Xia Lan, you went to the countryside earlier than us, so you know more about the situation of the educated youth camp in the village than we do.
I was busy with the autumn harvest and had no time to pay attention to these things.
Why don’t you take some time out in the next two days to tell us about it.”
Xia Lan nodded, "Okay.
The captain said that the smell of blood might attract big guys, so he asked everyone not to go up the mountain for the next two days.
I just happened to be free, so I'll tell you about it."
I remembered that I had to go to town tomorrow to mail a package to my eldest brother, and I also had to see if the Revolutionary Committee and the Red Guards had held another criticism and denunciation meeting.
See if it's possible to give them another lightning strike.
Liu Jingxue suggested, “I’m going to town to mail a package tomorrow morning.
How about you two come to my house tomorrow afternoon and we can have a good talk together."
The two of them agreed readily.
There are people coming and going here, so it's not appropriate for us to talk about secrets.
Many aunts, aunts and young wives in the village were busy there. Some of the older men were tanning pig skins and cleaning pig offal, while others were gathered in twos and threes to chat.
The three of them had nothing to do so they ran over to play with the children.
Some older children pestered Liu Jingxue to teach them kung fu.
Liu Jingxue did not refuse and taught them military boxing.
I learned this during military training in college.
She had forgotten a lot at first, but after she cleansed her essence and marrow and began to practice, the memories that were about to disappear were revived, making it impossible for her to forget them.
Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun are telling stories to younger children.
The children listened attentively and were very quiet.
The captain, Secretary Xu and others who were talking not far away also saw the movement here.
Secretary Xu, like the team leader, is also a veteran.
He carefully watched Liu Jingxue's moves and said to the captain, "Da Biao, Xiaoxue's boxing style looks like she came from the military."
The captain took a puff of his pipe and nodded, "He must be from the army, he has that kind of indomitable spirit.
But it’s much better than what we practiced back then, it should be the latest one.”
“The children in our village are lucky to be able to learn this.
If they can really keep training, their physical fitness will definitely be excellent, and they will all be good soldiers in the future." Secretary Xu said happily.
The captain nodded in agreement and said, "Even if they can't join the army, as long as they have trained well, if the town is recruiting police officers, they can give it a try.
At least the chances are much greater than others."
Ge Dazhuang, the militia captain who heard the conversation, came over and asked, "Then can our militia practice?"
Secretary Xu said firmly, "Yes, of course not.
This set of boxing techniques is a good thing, and you won’t suffer any loss if you practice it.”
"Then captain and secretary, can you please talk to Liu Zhiqing and ask her to teach our militia as well?" Ge Dazhuang asked.
The captain took a puff of his pipe and said, "If you want to learn, go and tell them yourself. We can't help you."
"That's right, what's the point of us coming forward and giving orders in our capacity as captain or secretary?
That's nothing.
If you want to learn, just tell others about it.
Liu Zhiqing is a generous person. As long as you ask, she will not refuse. "
After hearing this, Ge Dazhuang thought about it carefully and felt that it was inappropriate to let the team leader or secretary come forward, so he stood up and walked towards Liu Jingxue.
