Chapter 44

Ruan Qiqi couldn’t ride the family’s 28-inch bicycle. She was only 165cm tall and her legs were not long enough to reach the pedals. She could only ride it diagonally, but that was too tiring and easy to fall. She would rather walk. There were bicycles in this riding space, but they were all new models from later times. If she took them out, she would definitely attract attention. Even if she had nine lives, she would not dare to expose the space arrogantly.

She planned to buy a women’s bicycle after going to work in Tanzhou. Shi Jinghong had looted three bicycle tickets.

It was more than ten miles from Ruanjiawan to Baili Village. Ruan Qiqi walked for more than an hour and finally arrived.

It was already lunchtime. The fields at the entrance of the village were empty. Everyone had gone home to eat after work. Smoke from cooking and the pungent smell of chili rose in the village.

Ruan Qiqi pounded her legs. She had walked three times in the morning, which was about thirty or forty miles. She couldn’t walk that much in a month in the mental hospital.

She walked under the old camphor tree, and before she could speak, the old camphor tree began to tremble excitedly, with all its branches and leaves shaking.

“Sister, I remember now, there is a black birthmark behind the left buttock of Bai Dizhu, which looks like the moon on the fifth day of the first lunar month.”

Ruan Qiqi was silent. …

What does the moon on the fifth day of the first lunar month look like? What day of the first lunar month is today?

Ruan Qiqi took out the mobile phone she used in her previous life from the space. Now there is no Internet, and the mobile phone can only read downloaded novels, not even play games, and check the lunar calendar.

She has been transferred to 1971, and today is March 31st.

Wow, today is exactly the fifth day of the first lunar month.

I will see what the moon on the fifth day of the first lunar month looks like in the evening, and then I will give Ruan Guiming the same birthmark on his buttocks.

“Are you sure that Bai Dizhu has a birthmark on his buttocks?”

Ruan Qiqi wanted to confirm it again. The old camphor tree is old, so don’t make a mistake.

“That’s absolutely right. When Bai Dizhu was a kid, he always came to my place to poop. His butt was sticking up high. I could see it clearly.” The old camphor tree said angrily.

It only likes sour feces, not fresh ones. Bai Dizhu’s little bastard’s feces are particularly smelly, and they suffocate the tree.

“Is there any on Bai Sanyuan’s butt?”

Ruan Qiqi asked again.

“I don’t know. He didn’t come to my place to poop.”

Ruan Qiqi didn’t ask any more questions. She turned around and asked Bai Sanyuan in person.

She asked some gossip about the Li clan in the village. The old camphor tree thought and talked at the same time. Unconsciously, he said a lot. Several of them were quite explosive, not less than those of old lady Ruan and Bai Dizhu.

The old generation was really quite open!

No wonder they could give birth to more than one billion people quietly, letting the post-00s to see. They would rather become monks than give birth.

After chatting with the old camphor tree for an hour or so, Ruan Qiqi basically had a handle on the Li clan. She prepared to go to the commune again and call Lu Ye.

A sparrow flew over and landed on the branches of the old camphor tree, chirping.

“Sister, Li Hailiang’s father went to call people. After dinner, he will go to Ruanjiawan to settle accounts with you.” The old camphor tree told the latest news, which was brought back by the sparrow.

“I know, this is for the sparrow.”

Ruan Qiqi broke off half a biscuit, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the ground. The sparrow flew in front of her, chirped a few times happily, and then flew away.

Not long after, a group of sparrows flew over, all chirped a few times to Ruan Qiqi, as if to thank her, and then happily ate the biscuit crumbs.

Ruan Qiqi crushed another piece of biscuit, sprinkled it on the ground, and left the village.

Baili Village was still ten miles away from the commune. She patted her waist, sighed, and walked forward resignedly.

“Tutututu”

a hand tractor with hot steam came up from behind, driven by a young man in his early twenties.

This car doesn’t make you carsick. Except for the pain in your butt, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Ruan Qiqi’s eyes lit up, and she had half a pack of Changde cigarettes in her hand. A few days ago, she searched Liu Hongbo, Shi Xiaojun and four other people in the restaurant for several packs of cigarettes, as well as a lot of cash and food coupons.     “

Brother, are you going to the commune?” Ruan Qiqi stood on the side of the road and stretched out her hand to shake it desperately. The driver was very arrogant and didn’t even look at her. He didn’t intend to stop, but he saw the half pack of cigarettes in Ruan Qiqi’s hand from the corner of his eye and immediately braked.   

 “Go, get in the car!”    

The driver was very straightforward and quick. He quickly took the half pack of cigarettes and generously gave her a small stool to let her sit in the back of the car.    

Ruan Qiqi sat in the back of the tractor. Although the car was bumpy and the wind blowing on her face was cold, she still felt very comfortable. It turned out that she was not born to be the Princess and the Pea. She was too adaptable.     On the way, she found out that the driver was going to the commune to get fertilizer and had to pass Ruanjiawan on his way back to his village.    

So, she decisively took out a handful of fruit candies and stuffed them into the driver’s pocket.    

Before she even opened her mouth, the driver took the initiative to invite her, “Sister, I’m leaving in an hour, you hurry up and find me at the fertilizer station!”     “Okay!”    

Ruan Qiqi waved happily and said goodbye to her brother.    

She went to the post office to call the military region and asked Lu Ye to answer the phone.    

It’s very troublesome to make long-distance calls now. You have to call the switchboard first, then transfer, wait for several minutes, and the phone bill is expensive. If it’s not a matter of life and death, ordinary people will never call.     After ten minutes or so, Lu Ye came to answer the phone and told her some good news.    

“Shi Xiaojun is stupid, Shi Jinghong is crazy, and beat Liu Hongbo half to death. The other two were also taken to the farm and beaten half to death.”    

“Why are they stupid?”    

Ruan Qiqi asked curiously.    

Lu Ye’s laughter came from the phone, and she knew it must be related to him.     “God has opened his eyes, Qiqi, when can I go to your place to get acquainted with your family?”    

Lu Ye changed the subject, and Ruan Qiqi did not ask further, it must be related to his golden finger.   

 “I will inform you in a few days. I tell you, Liu Hongbo is very fragile now. You go to him to give him warmth, and then learn from your stepmother to fan the flames and sow discord, so that Liu Hongbo can deal with his family.”    

Ruan Qiqi suggested that if Liu Hongbo used this knife well, Lu Chuncao’s family would be wiped out.    

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up on the other end of the phone. This is a good idea. Lu Chuncao’s family is not clean, and they will definitely not be able to resist Liu Hongbo’s rebellion.

“Qiqi, how come you are so smart?”

Lu Ye praised her generously.

“You are not stupid either. I mainly read a lot of books, such as the Thirty-Six Stratagems and the Art of War by Sun Tzu. You should read them in the future.”

Ruan Qiqi was modest on the surface, but she was shouting in her heart. If you can speak, just say a few more words. Don’t be stingy with your words of praise!

“Qiqi, you are really amazing. You even read books on the art of war. In the future, you will use your brain and I will do the hard work.”

“It’s just so-so. You are also quite amazing.

” “Qiqi, you are better than me. I want to learn from you!”

“Let’s learn from each other.”

“Qiqi, I miss you.”

Lu Ye suddenly said a love word, full of affection.

Ruan Qiqi was stunned for a moment, her face was a little hot, in fact, she also missed you a little.

“I miss you too. I dreamed of you last night. We were kissing!”

Ruan Qiqi told the truth. In her dream, she and Lu Ye were indeed kissing, and they did some things that were not suitable for children. She was so angry that she kicked off the quilt. When she woke up in the morning, one of her nostrils was blocked.

The lady from the post office who was knitting a sweater next to her trembled a little, stopped knitting, and looked at her with a sharp look, her ears perked up.

“I dreamed of you too, not just kissing…”

Lu Ye’s face was hot, and his heart was sweet. He and Qiqi were really in tune with each other and had the same dream.

Ruan Qiqi chatted with him for a while before hanging up the phone. When she went to pay the phone bill, the lady asked gossipingly: “Sister, did you and your man just get married?”

“No, we’ve been married for three years, and my man is clinging to me.”

Ruan Qiqi knew what the lady wanted to hear, but she refused to say it.

The lady looked very disappointed. It was not a newlywed, but an old couple of three years were still so clinging. It was really strange.

Thinking of her own man, who was too lazy to pay public grain after one year of marriage, the lady suddenly felt bad and in a bad mood.

Ruan Qiqi grinned and left happily.

She found a secluded place, took out a bag of rice, a pot of tea oil, and a large piece of fresh pork, put them all in a backpack, went to the fertilizer station to find the driver, waited for him to load the fertilizer, and took a ride home.

With the captain’s protection, the family was safe.

“Just now, Ruan Guiming came to make trouble, but was scolded away by the second uncle!”

Ruan Xiaoxue took the backpack on her back, and saw the things inside, and smiled like a flower.

“Eat dry rice in the future, don’t mix sweet potatoes.”

Ruan Qiqi pounded her sore shoulders a few times, took out a handful of candy from her pocket, and shared it with Ruan Nian and her sister.

The sky gradually darkened, and smoke rose from the village. Ruan Xiaoxue cooked a large table of food. Ruan Shuangjiang and her mother were all full. They had never eaten so much meat before, and they couldn’t eat it even during the New Year. At most, they could only share a piece of meat.

“Qiqi, will the Li family really agree?”

Ruan Shuangjiang was a little nervous. She knew too well how arrogant the Li family was, and she was afraid of implicating her two younger sisters.

“Don’t worry, they won’t dare to disagree.”

Ruan Qiqi sneered. She had a handle that could kill the Li family.

“Qiqi, they’re coming!”

The captain rushed into the yard in a hurry, followed by more than a dozen tall and strong men, all of whom he hired.

“Hand over the three sisters Ruan Shuangjiang. They dared to beat my mother and are tired of living. If you don’t hand them over, don’t blame us for being rude!”

An arrogant curse came in. It was Li Hailiang.

He also brought more than a dozen strong men with him, with great momentum and aggressiveness.
