Exciting 1979!

Chapter 69: Gouzitun hooligan incident (please read it later!)

When Wei Ming and Wei Hong found Old Wei, he looked at his son in surprise: "Why did you bring a barrel of oil from Yanjing?"

Wei Ming pointed to the kimchi jar in Xiao Hong's hand and said, "This is what I brought back. The oil was given by the old man."

"Ah?" Wei Jiefang was pleasantly surprised. This barrel of oil weighed at least five or six kilograms, no less than a bottle of Moutai.

Wei Ming added, "Yesterday his nephew came to see him and brought him some grain and oil. He said he couldn't eat so much, so he gave me a bucket. He was unhappy when I refused it."

Wei Jiefang immediately looked at Qi Delong: "Look at my nephew!"

Qi Delong chewed the sweet sorghum straw that Wei Jiefang bought: "Oh, my goodness~"

Wei Jiefang kicked it and said, "Damn it!"

Wei Ming and Wei Hong also got on the car and prepared to go home. The donkey felt its shoulders sink and its fifth leg lost its strength.

With this amount of work every day, who would want to do that?

Wei Jiefang fiddled with the jar of pickled vegetables that Wei Ming bought: "Is this what you brought all the way to your mother?"

"Yeah, we can make the kimchi she mentioned."

Wei Jiefang: "Seeing this will probably make me miss home again."

Wei Ming: "Then just accompany her home. It's not like we don't have the ability to do that now."

Wei Jiefang sighed: "It's so far away, it's easy to say."

~
At this time, in the Gouzitun brigade headquarters, Zhao Chunlai said angrily: "This Wei Jiefang is too outrageous. He really treats the mules and horses in the production team as his own and uses them whenever he wants!"

And below the stage, the comrades were whispering about what happened last night.

"Have you heard that there is smoke coming out of the Wei family's ancestral tomb?"

"Ah, someone set fire to your ancestral grave?"

"No, there really was green smoke coming out. Someone saw it at the north end of the village yesterday, and then heard about the Wei family kid."

"The big fire last night was also very strange. It felt like it was set to light up the house for little Wei Ming to come home."

"Yes, he just burned down a shack, which was built for him by the villagers. He didn't suffer any loss."

"Hey, even though the Wei family is not very large, each of them is extraordinary!"

"Yes, only Wei Jiefang is a bit of a drag."

Seeing that no one took his words seriously, Zhao Chunlai became even more angry. He slammed the table and raised his voice: "Wei Jiefang's behavior can be said to be a typical abuse of public resources for personal gain. It infringes on the collective interests of the brigade and must be strongly criticized!"

The old branch secretary Zhou Xingbang tapped his pipe and felt that Zhao Chunlai was just looking for trouble.

Everyone in the Hengheli Commune knew that Wei Jiefang was a friend of livestock. He was the only genuine veterinarian in the commune, and when he was too busy, even people from neighboring villages would come to Wei Jiefang for help.

There is a Wei Jiefang in Gouzi Village. His livestock basically live to the end of their lives, and they are not abused when they give birth. He has saved the brigade a lot of losses. Other villages are envious of him.

So sometimes Wei Jiefang would use some "off-duty" animals to do his own work, and this was tacitly approved by the villagers. After all, he has the ability.

Now that Zhao Chunlai suddenly brought this up, the old branch secretary could only think that he was jealous that Jiefang had a good son, while he, Team Leader Zhao, only had four girls.

Then Zhao Chunlai asked the old branch secretary for instructions.

What could Zhou Xingbang say? "I think Chunlai is right. Why don't we just remove Wei Jiefang from his position and stop him from managing the animals in the team."

Zhou Xingbang thought he could scare Zhao Chunlai by saying this, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chunlai would agree immediately and even nominated his brother-in-law.

Zhou Xingbang was not happy with this: "Although Jiefang is not very hardworking, at least he doesn't steal or take anything. As for your brother-in-law, humph, I'm afraid he will steal food from the animals again."

"Hahaha!"

The whole audience burst into laughter. Zhao Chunlai's brother-in-law had indeed done this kind of thing, but it was also because he was very hungry during that special period. Wei Ming also drew lessons from this incident when he wrote "The Story of Two Donkeys".

"We can discuss the successor later, but Wei Jiefang's behavior must be criticized. I think the time is almost up, and the family should be back from their outing. Let's go to the south end of the village and block him!"

The old branch secretary shook his head and turned to check the fields to see if there were any corns left behind. He did not want to get involved. Several other members of the leadership team joined him in the fun. Anyway, the autumn harvest was over and it was a rare opportunity to have some fun.

On the other hand, Qi Kexiu was in a terrible situation.

Qi Kexiu never did farm work at home because he was a distinguished nobleman in Beijing.

Early in the morning, daughter-in-law Fan Chunhua prepared breakfast and went to the fields to earn work points, and her son also went to school.

Since he had no classes in the first two periods, Qi Kexiu decided to sleep in. He had felt uncomfortable the previous night and had not slept well, so he needed to make up for it.

Qi Kexiu was awakened by the urge to pee. He looked at the watch and realized it was almost time to have a meal and go to school.

As a result, he didn't find his clothes and pants, and now he was only left with a pair of briefs. "This old woman, she didn't even tell me before washing my clothes."

Fortunately, he had more than one set of clothes. He opened the closet and was shocked to find that all his clothes, even his winter clothes, were gone, leaving only a few of his wife's underwear.

What's going on? Was your house robbed?
But he was really holding it in right now, so he either had to go out wearing only his underwear or do it in the house.

Although this is his home, the walls are low now, even the fences are high, so there is no privacy in the yard at all.

He wondered if he could take down the curtains and put them on himself, but he found that all the curtains in the house were gone, not even a towel left!
Who is it? You did it so badly! I curse you to give birth to a child without an asshole!

In fact, another option is to go to the toilet covered with a quilt, which is the only cloth product available at home to cover one's body.

But the situation of dry toilets in rural areas these days is really hard to describe. Let’s put it this way, people have to use quilts when going to the toilet. Quilts are definitely not allowed anymore. The sacrifice is too great.

So take a risk.

Finally, Qi Kexiu found a curtain, covered himself below the waist, and walked out of the house, wanting to go to the toilet.

As a result, when I ran halfway, I saw a young and pretty girl push the door open and shouted, "Teacher Qi is here...ah, you, you, you hooligan!"

The girl was Qi Delong's class teacher, Hu Qiuyang, a new teacher who had just arrived at the village primary school. Seeing that the child did not come to school, and even his father, Teacher Qi, did not come to work, he hurried over during the break to ask what was going on.

Then she saw this scene in front of her. Teacher Qi Delong was running naked in the yard. It was so shameless and disgraceful that the little girl was so scared that she started crying.

Just one look and she felt unclean!
As luck would have it, Zhao Chunlai brought people to the south end of the village to block Wei Jiefang, and happened to see Teacher Hu running out crying.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Hu Qiuyang pointed at Qi Kexiu's house and said, "Teacher Qi, he, he is a hooligan!"

Hey!
Qi Kexiu is Wei Jiefang's brother-in-law and is also known as the most educated person in the village. Zhao Chunlai was immediately excited and decided that he would take care of this matter!

~
Wei Ming and his companions drove the donkey cart back home and could smell the fragrance before they even entered the yard.

Wei Jiefang said, "Unload the stuff first, I'll take the donkey cart back."

Normally there is a shack at home, where the old man can have a rest, but now it is inconvenient.

Qi Delong swallowed his saliva and said, "Uncle, I don't dare to go home. Can I have lunch at your place?"

Wei Jiefang: "Isn't it a watch?"

Qi Delong: "Although we are cousins, we are closer than real relatives!"

Wei Jiefang was not a stingy person: "Help your brother with the work and carry the pigs."

"okay!"

The Wei family originally had a pigsty connected to the toilet. However, their grandmother passed away a few years ago, and the family owed a lot of debts. People could not even get enough to eat, so they naturally could not afford to raise pigs.

After taking care of the pig, I put the three chicks into the chicken coop.

Xu Shufen happily brought a bucket of water and poured it into the trough. There were also some chicken leftovers in it, and the pigs were very happy to eat it.

"Mom, please stop being busy. Do you like this?" Wei Hong put the oil barrel away and held up the pickle jar to show her mother, "This is what I brought back for you from Yanjing."

"what!"

Xu Shufen took it with great surprise and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, that's right, we use this to make kimchi! It's just that it's a little small~"

As expected, my father guessed it right. My mother was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. She missed her hometown and relatives whom she had left for twenty years.

I don’t even know if those relatives are still alive.

She ran away from her hometown in Sichuan and Chongqing during the three difficult years, just for food and to survive.

She didn't know how many times she had hopped on trains before she finally ended up in Hebei, a completely unfamiliar place where communication was even difficult.

This is a vast plain with plenty of arable land per capita and friendly people. She feels that she will never go hungry here again.

So after being picked up by her mother-in-law who ran a tofu workshop and brought home, she obediently agreed to marry Wei Jiefang, who had no one to play with at the time because his cousin Wei Ping'an went to school in the county town. They were both only 18 years old at the time.

Wei Jiefang was not happy at first. This woman was dark and dirty, and her speech was hard to understand. If he married her, he would not be able to hold his head up in the village. If Ping An knew about this, he would laugh to death.

The old lady had a sharp eye. After taking a bath, the black coal ball turned into a beautiful girl with fair skin and beautiful appearance, giving Gouzitun a little bit of the shock of the land of abundance.

Besides being beautiful, she is also diligent, sensible, well-behaved and kind. Wei Jiefang is lucky to have such a wife, but she also developed his lazy character.

Xu Shufen was holding the jar and reminiscing about the past when Wei Jiefang suddenly turned back halfway, poked his head in and said excitedly, "Xiaolong, your father has been arrested! He was accused of bullying your teacher Hu!"
