Chapter 122: Very Panic

A hint of smile flashed across Uncle Pei's eyes.

"Well, Minghui is just fooling around. I'll talk to him later." Of course they all knew that Minghui was just being naughty and they were just joking.

"That's pretty much it..."

Gu Si naturally noticed when Uncle Pei came near the wing room earlier, but he was only concerned with coaxing Lingxi.

Uncle Pei also knew that Gu Si knew.

The two of them were in tacit agreement and neither of them mentioned it.

Pei Jin and Pei Xuan just laughed and asked about what happened to Second Uncle Pei last night.

"I heard that other places also have indicators for sparrows and mice. Is that true?"

Uncle Pei nodded.

But those things have nothing to do with their village.

Peijia Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, so the higher-ups prefer to label them a hunter village. After all, the land in the village is not as much as that in other villages, and their village also has hunting activities that last for quite a long time at the end of each year.

You need an approval permit before you can sell it to a purchasing station.

Moreover, the captain of Peijia Village was specially selected by the clan, and he is very honest and pragmatic.

There is not even a bite of meat for a sparrow, so don't even think about it. But it is possible to exchange work points for wild boars and roe deer.

It was just because they wanted to join in the fun, when other villages held large-scale events, like yesterday afternoon, many people from their village would still follow and go into the woods.

But that's all.

after all--

The wave of birds that covered the sky yesterday probably drove all the birds and sparrows from the surrounding villages together. If they were not all killed, they would have been almost wiped out.

The rest are just a few small things, and they don’t matter much.
-
I had steamed Sophora japonica flowers for breakfast today.

Uncle Pei and his brother brought back a lot.

Pick and wash the locust flowers, drain the water, sprinkle with cornmeal and mix well, spread on a large steamer, steam for more than ten minutes, then mix with hot oil, onion, garlic, and some seasonings, and it will be delicious.

Seeing that Lingxi liked the food, Gu Si thought about going into the mountains later to get some more to eat slowly.

However, before he could open his mouth, his eldest cousin's wife spoke even faster.

She changed her sullen face after the Chinese New Year, and was awkward and uncomfortable with everyone, and didn't want to talk to anyone. She was particularly enthusiastic towards Lingxi and smiled gently, "Take advantage of the fact that the locust flowers have not fallen yet, and ask your eldest brother to get more back."

The enthusiasm was so overwhelming that Lingxi could hardly resist.

Lingxi was stunned.

OK, OK!

She happily thanked her cousin's wife.

Pei Jin looked at the whole crowd and held his forehead with his hand.

"Yes, tell big brother what you want to eat."

The smile on my eldest cousin's wife's face got even bigger.

really--

It’s easy to understand what my eldest cousin’s wife is thinking.

In her eyes, Lingxi was a sister-in-law who wanted to encroach on her interests and she needed to be on guard against her.

And now, Lingxi is someone who may bring her benefits, and she needs to curry favor with him.

Pei Jin silently withdrew his gaze. It was fine like this!
Besides, it’s easier for everyone!
Only Uncle Pei and Gu Si knew about Pei Jin's affairs. They did not comment much on it. The old lady and Pei Xuan were thoughtful when they saw this. Aunt Pei...

She was smiling and looked very happy.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law had a conflict some time ago, and she knew why. Now that the eldest daughter-in-law had figured it out and knew how to speak softly to Lingxi, she must be happy.

Uncle Pei told Gu Si to transfer the relationship to Peijia Village.

However, Gu Si's adoptive father did not know that Gu Si had any subsequent arrangements. The job he prepared for Gu Si, writing and drawing on the walls of the village, could only pass the time for a while at most, and it was impossible for him to do this all year round.

Gu Si’s future work has been planned out for him.

It so happened that during the summer and autumn harvests last year, the bait that Gu Si made for the village to attract birds was quite good. Now is a special time, and it can play a big role if it is taken out.

Just like back then, he was responsible for finding herbs for bait, and the village gave him work points.

Gu Si's life became leisurely again.

While accompanying Lingxi, the issue of medicinal wine was also put on the agenda. However, after a few days of this comfortable life, a brigade secretary was transferred from Gujia Village to stay there.

It is said that this person is of great importance.

Originally, he could have stayed in the county and been transferred to a position on the W side of the county, but this man was aware of his own needs and asked to go to the countryside, saying that he wanted to fight on the front line of production.

Since he requested to be transferred down, there were many people willing to take the vacant position, so he could choose any village below him.

He finally chose to stay in Gujia Village.

The new official took office three fires.

This man's first anger affected Gu Si.

That evening, Gu Si and his friends had just finished dinner and were chatting when Gu Qingnan and Gu Dachuan came to their door.

Gu Dachuan and Uncle Pei were chatting there.

Gu Qingnan coughed and looked at Gu Si with sympathy: "The superiors have reassigned tasks. Those who don't work are given special attention. Uh, you have been assigned to... um, carry manure."

Isn't it time for spring ploughing now?

The brigade secretary of their village took stock of the situation in the village. The work content of other people remained unchanged for the time being, but people like Gu Si, whose household registration was registered in the production brigade but who basically did not work, were assigned jobs.

They all involve carrying manure, digging silt, and cleaning pig pens.

Gu Si was assigned to carry manure.

Gu Qingnan and Gu Dachuan came here just to tell him in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

Carrying manure?!

Pei Xuan spat out a mouthful of water.

Lingxi's eyes widened in surprise.

Pei Jin coughed to cover up her momentary loss of composure.

After living with Lingxi for such a long time, Gu Si had long since worn off his cynical disguise, and his whole person had become a bit more bright and clear, as pure as ice and snow.

Of course, in front of people he is familiar with, he is still gentle and easy to talk to.

But such a person was asked to carry manure.

Hahahaha!

Gu Si: “…”

Gu Si's expression twisted.

Pei Jin and Pei Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That's the thing. It can't be said that it's wrong for them to arrange it this way. After all, they just want to teach the workers a lesson, right?

But when someone gets on his own head, Gu Si...

Lingxi didn't let herself laugh out loud. Suddenly she remembered something and felt a little strange: "Didn't I go to work too?"

"Your household registration is with your uncle, have you forgotten?" Pei Jin coughed and reminded him.

oh oh oh!
Lingxi suddenly realized.

Because they are not old enough, she and Gu Si have not yet obtained their marriage certificate.

Of course, the number of couples who have obtained marriage certificates in the surrounding villages can be counted on one hand, mainly because her and Gu Si’s household registration has not yet been moved together.

Her household registration is under Pei Yanning's name and is a city household registration.

Of course there is no need to go to the ground.

Lingxi was about to say something, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

Gu Si and the others watched as Ling Xi swayed, covered her chest, and was about to fall down. Her face turned pale in the blink of an eye, and beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

She looked at Gu Si with a panicked expression.

"what happened?"

He grabbed the man and held him.

"I--"

Lingxi covered her chest, feeling extremely panicked, and subconsciously looked around.

However, she didn't know what she was looking for. She just held onto Gu Si's clothes and said blankly, "I don't know."
