Chapter 146 Beaten
Song Shuangshuang had a good night's sleep, but Feng Aiguo was not so lucky.
Last night, Ji Hongcai returned to the Youth League House in the dark from a small road, and he did not see Feng Aiguo when he got back. He asked casually, and Cui Ziming replied that Feng Aiguo went out not long after he went out.
He added in a low voice that Feng Aiguo looked not quite in the right mental state, and his eyes were fierce and nagging.
Ji Hongcai was so shocked that his back went cold. He hoped that he would not really follow him to Song Zhiqing's brother and sister's place. But he was very careful along the way and he really didn't see him.
Maybe he's walking slowly because of the pain in his feet? Feng Aiguo came back at noon today and soaked his feet. He also limped when he walked.
Feng Aiguo came back when it was almost time to go to bed. No one in the room was asleep yet, and the lights were left on for him, so he noticed something was wrong.
His hair was messy and his body was covered in dirt. If you look closely, you can see some bruises on his chin.
No one dared to speak...
Feng Aiguo took the basin and went out to fetch water for washing. After he left, people in the room dared to whisper about what happened to him.
Ji Hongcai didn't talk to them because Feng Aiguo had changed into black clothes to go out, and the two big footprints on his body were particularly obvious. It was obvious that they were not girls' footprints...
Was he beaten by Song Youlin and He Feiyang?
The door was suddenly pushed open, and everyone fell silent instantly, pretending to be doing other things.
How could Feng Aiguo not know that they were talking about him just now? He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, threw the basin on the ground, pretended that he didn't hear them, and lay down on the kang.
In fact, he didn't know who beat him. He was put in a sack and beaten before he even arrived at Song Shuangshuang's house. When he asked who it was, he didn't say anything. He only knew that it was a man.
He also suspected that it was Song Youlin and He Feiyang who were taking revenge on him, but it didn't seem like that because he could only hear one person. After the man finished beating him, he went to Song Shuangshuang's house and looked through the crack in the door. The lights were off and there was no movement at all.
The same goes for Tan Anjing and He Feiyang.
He could only endure the pain in his body and return to the Youth League Home. To prevent others from noticing anything unusual, he even tidied his clothes and hair to hide what had just happened.
It was still discovered.
Because there were many people in the Youth Hostel and the rooms were large, the educated youths decided to continue to go up the mountain to chop firewood. The scattered firewood at the foot of the mountain had been almost collected, and they could take axes and go up the mountain to chop the dead trees.
This is an unwritten rule in the village. Unless there are no dead trees on the mountain, no one is allowed to go up the mountain to cut down healthy trees. The villagers have been doing this for years.
"Hongcai, do you want to go with us?"
After that day, the male educated youth seemed to have restored their original relationship, and the conflict between them seemed to have been wiped out.
Ji Hongcai glanced at Feng Aiguo's expression and agreed with a smile.
He is not a fool. How much firewood can he chop if he goes up the mountain alone? He will be blamed after spending half a day coming back. So he might as well go with them. Anyway, he has seen through this group of people, so he will just put on a good show and not be too close to them in the future.
"I sprained my ankle on the way back yesterday. I'm going to rest for a day at the Youth League Home. You guys can go."
No one paid any attention to him, just told him to have a good rest and left.
Feng Aiguo sat in the room and listened to them leaving talking and laughing, then he punched the pillow hard several times.
It was because Song Shuangshuang had He Feiyang with her, otherwise they would have planned to go up the mountain with empty hands.
Because they already had a lot of firewood, they didn't rush out. They ate leisurely at home before going out to the mountain.
When they met the male educated youth at the foot of the mountain, Ji Hongcai walked at the back calmly and told He Feiyang that he had something to say to them later, and then went to the place where they killed the wild boar.
Then they each walked up the mountain. Song Shuangshuang and the others stopped halfway, and Ji Hongcai came here with the excuse that he wanted to take over.
When Ji Hongcai met Song Shuangshuang and others, he told them what happened last night.
Hearing that Feng Aiguo was beaten, Song Shuangshuang exclaimed in her heart, "What a fellow! Which big brother beat him up?" No wonder I didn't see him just now, he must have been afraid of making a fool of himself and didn't come out.
Ji Hongcai asked them if it was He Feiyang and Song Youlin who did it, because he saw a footprint on Feng Aiguo's body, and judging from the size, it didn't belong to a girl.
"No, we moved to Youlin's house after you left yesterday and haven't been out since."
"That's strange. I haven't heard that he has offended anyone recently."
No one knew what was going on, and they didn't investigate further. As long as Feng Aiguo didn't put the blame on them, that would be fine.
She stayed at Song Shuangshuang's house at night. She planned to go to Liu Juhua the next day to ask her how to store pickled cabbage. She had seen it online before, but she didn't remember it. Don't pickle a jar of rotten cabbage...
She had heard from Aunt Chang and others before that the sauerkraut pickled by Liu Juhua tasted particularly good.
The next morning, several people carried things to Liu Cuihua's house and asked her for help.
Jiang Changgui went up the mountain early in the morning, and Liu Juhua was sorting firewood in the yard. After hearing the purpose of their visit, Liu Juhua agreed immediately. Seeing that they brought things with them, she made an unhappy expression and said, "Why did you bring things with you? You don't need to be so polite when you are just helping me."
"Where are our three big jars? We feel embarrassed to ask you to help with empty hands. We don't have anything else but some brown sugar. Please take it."
Liu Juhua couldn't refuse, so she accepted it. She also said that she shouldn't be so polite in the future, locked the door and followed the four people to Song Shuangshuang's house. On the way, they met Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang coming out of someone else's house, and asked Song Shuangshuang where she was going. When they heard that she wanted Liu Juhua to help with hydrochloric acid rubbing, they also wanted to come.
"I'll go with your Aunt Wang to help, and it'll be quicker. It's a gloomy day, and we never know when it'll snow, so let's just finish the work quickly."
Without giving any time to refuse, the two of them followed him to Song Shuangshuang's home.
Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang hadn't been to Song Shuangshuang's house for a while. Seeing that half of the originally empty courtyard was piled with things, they asked in surprise, "How did you two siblings get so much firewood? This is enough to burn until the New Year next year, right?"
"No, most of them belong to He Feiyang and An Jing. They are dependent on us. Look, auntie, only one of the three jars in this room belongs to us."
Seeing her like this, Aunt Chang laughed and said, "You guys have a really good relationship. Keep these three jars for storing pickled cabbage and pickled vegetables. When the time comes, buy a smaller jar and I'll teach you how to make soy sauce and paste. It's delicious to dip pickled vegetables in it in the summer!"
After that, several people started to work. Song Shuangshuang and the other children followed Liu Juhua's instructions.
It was almost noon after all the work. Song Shuangshuang wanted to keep the three of them for lunch, but she also knew that they had to go home to cook. The two aunts agreed to come back in the afternoon, and Song Shuangshuang told them not to worry and to take a nap before coming back.
As soon as the three of them left, Song Shuangshuang sat on a small stool and didn't want to get up.
"How did I survive the autumn harvest? How come I feel tired after not working for such a long time?"
"Then just sit down, keep your hands busy, and peel the potatoes." Song Youlin took out a few potatoes and a small tile and handed them to Song Shuangshuang.
Song Shuangshuang: "..."
