Chapter 105 Auntie, you have committed a crime!
"Humph!"
Bai Nuo stared at the tall man standing in front of him digging a hole with a hoe, and he wanted to throw all the corn kernels in his hand into his face.
"Stop whining, are you a pig?" Fang Meng straightened up and looked at the little girl squatting on the ground with amusement.
He put down the hoe, walked over, took off his work gloves, took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from his trouser pocket, bent down and stuffed them into the little girl's arms.
"Don't be angry, it still hurts from those hits you just made. I told you not to hit my face, just look at my face." Fang Meng pointed at his cheekbone, "Look, look, isn't it all blue? How come after all these years, you're still so cruel to your second brother?"
Bai Nuo held those White Rabbit milk candies in her arms. Although she had a lot of them, she really couldn't refuse any food.
"You deserve it. You messed up my hair. My grandma said, you can break your head and bleed, but you can't mess up your hair."
"That was clearly the excuse Grandma Bai made when she wanted to beat Grandpa Bai!" Fang Meng rolled his eyes speechlessly. Seeing the little girl still glaring at him, he had no choice but to nod and admit his mistake: "Okay, okay, Grandma's daughter, I'm wrong, okay? I'll go to the city tonight and buy you a hair ornament tomorrow. I'll go to the big mall and buy you the most beautiful one."
"I also want hairpins. I want the best-looking and brightest ones, not the red or green ones." Bai Nuo also mastered the skill of taking advantage of others, and looked at Fang Meng with a smile on his face.
Fang Meng smiled unhappily and nodded in response: "Okay, okay, I'll buy you the best ones."
"Hehe! That's pretty good." Bai Nuo smiled happily.
She has never known how to be polite to Fang Meng since she was a child!
But it's a bit weird to think that this guy is working as a night watchman at such a young age.
"Why are you so keen on finding a part-time night watch job? Is it because you want to avoid decades of detours?" Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng seriously, hesitated for a moment, and said somewhat reluctantly, "If you're really short of money, I can support you. Two dollars a month for pocket money is okay."
"...Two dollars!" Fang Meng was so amused by the number that he ignored the so-called part-time night watchman job.
"I really can't have any more. I work hard to earn money!" Bai Nuo subconsciously covered her pocket, where was a small wallet for her pocket money, which was specially sewn for her by her eldest brother.
She also wanted to save the money so that she could return to Beijing and live a good life with her grandma, grandpa and uncle.
She needs to save more money and take over her elder brother's share so that he can grow up freely outside without having to worry about the retirement of the elders at home.
Fang Meng looked at the little money-grubber with amusement, but he was the first person besides his elder brother to say that he wanted to support him and give him pocket money.
Two dollars a month is not a small amount, it is more than the pocket money of the older brothers in their camp.
"Your second brother can still support himself, so he doesn't need it for now. When the day comes that your second brother can't move, he'll have to rely on you to support him. We agreed on two dollars a month." Fang Meng subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub his head, but suddenly saw the fire poker thrown on the ground next to him by the little girl, and his outstretched hand suddenly retracted.
It's a bit embarrassing to get beaten in front of so many people and not be able to fight back!
forget it!
"Okay then, let's talk about it when you can't move!" Bai Nuo nodded obediently, not finding anything wrong with what he said.
The Zhou family and their Bai family have been friends for generations, and the four old people are comrades who survived the same battlefield. Grandma said that the Zhou family is their own family. Although the Fang brothers have the surname Fang, they have been living in the Zhou family since Aunt Zhou died. Naturally, they are also their own family. She thinks it is normal for her to support her own family who cannot move.
In Bai Nuo's opinion, there are only two kinds of people in the world, insiders and outsiders.
No matter whether outsiders live or die, we must protect our own people.
Although Fang Meng was often not in the team, he worked very quickly. After digging the hole in the land assigned to their group, he let Bai Nuo be responsible for throwing seeds into the hole, and he followed behind to cover the soil.
After such a rush, we finished work at around four in the afternoon.
"You go back and wash up and have a rest first. I'll go for a walk in the mountains and then go back to cook." Fang Meng handed the tools to Bai Nuo and prepared to go to the mountains to catch a rabbit for the little girl to nourish her.
Bai Nuo was not polite. It was of course nice to have someone cook for him. Grandma had said that one should not eat outsiders' food casually, but Fang Meng was one of their own, so they could eat the food he cooked.
"We still have half a pheasant at home. You Zhiqing exchanged it with me at noon."
Fang Meng raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not ask any unnecessary questions. He would not interfere with what the little girl wanted to do. He just wanted to make sure that the girl was not bullied.
"Half a chicken isn't enough. I'll go hunt a rabbit and make spicy rabbit meat for you tonight."
"Okay, I'll go pick up some more firewood later."
After the two men divided the work, they began to act separately, one went towards the mountain, and the other went to the warehouse to return tools and register work points.
In fact, people nearby couldn't help but glance at the two of them from time to time throughout the afternoon. They had long noticed that the two educated youth had a special relationship. It was just that Bai Nuo would occasionally call Fang Meng "Second Brother", and Fang Meng would treat him like his own sister, so even though the two of them occasionally looked a little intimate, no one said anything nonsense.
Everyone guessed that these two educated youth might be relatives.
Another thing is that what happened in the morning is still fresh in my mind. Fang Meng just arrived in the countryside and beat up a few ruffians. So it seems that these two educated youths are not easy to mess with.
When Bai Nuo was going back, he passed by the place where Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua were working, said hello, and then walked towards the warehouse. Before he reached the warehouse, he saw an old lady wearing a gray coat, a square scarf on her head, with a yellowish complexion and a slightly sour and mean look.
This should be because he got off work early and went home to cook.
Almost every household in the brigade works together. At noon and in the evening, some people will leave work early and go home to cook for the family, so as to avoid having to eat in the dark too late.
"Oh, this is the new educated youth, isn't she? She's really good-looking. Have you met her? Auntie, let me tell you, when you go to the countryside, you need to find someone who understands you and can support you. Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"
As the old lady said this, she glanced up and down at Bai Nuo, especially at the wrist where Bai Nuo wore the watch, and her gaze paused for a few seconds.
She had heard a long time ago that several new educated youth had come to the Youth Home. Not only were they good-looking, but their families were also very well-off. It was possible that they would be sent back to the city by their families in the future.
Thinking of her son who had not yet married, the aunt who spoke first looked at Bai Nuo with a warmer gaze, but her eyes were still somewhat critical.
In fact, she had already set her sights on the Youth League Home, but among the old educated youths before, only the one with the surname Qin was okay. But that girl had a bad temper and always avoided her son, so she never found an opportunity.
There are a few new ones this time, and they seem to be more suitable for her precious son than the one with the surname Qin.
Bai Nuo glanced at her indifferently. To someone who was obviously plotting something against her, it would be disrespectful to show any kindness to her.
Bai Nuo rolled her eyes and started talking nonsense, and she was so confident that no one could tell that she was talking nonsense.
"Auntie, what you said is really interesting. It's not a big deal if you haven't attended literacy classes, but the new government has been established for many years. You should learn some of the laws you should learn. Otherwise, if you accidentally get yourself into trouble one day, it will harm three generations of your family. The child will be looking for you every day."
The expression on the old lady's face froze, and she looked at Bai Nuo in confusion: "You, what do you mean?"
Bai Nuo smiled softly: "What else could it mean? I'm only sixteen. According to our country's marriage law, women are considered adults at the age of eighteen, and can only talk about marriage after they reach adulthood. Sixteen is still a child, and you ask me if I like her and want to introduce me to someone. Isn't that kidnapping an underage girl, Auntie..."
Bai Nuo raised the corners of his mouth and stood there obediently. However, his soft Wu dialect voice carried a strange threat into the ears of the old lady, and she was so scared that her face turned pale in an instant.
"Auntie, you have committed a crime!"
