Chapter 501 Married a Stupid Woman
"The team at our Baiyashan Youth League Center is growing stronger and stronger!"
Su Mingzhe held a bonfire dinner that night to celebrate the joining of Zhou Bingkun, Wu Qian, Peng Yuanchao, Cai Lele, and Guan Ling.
When there are more people, their abilities will be revealed.
Wang Quan usually talked and laughed with Su Mingzhe, and he was not an introvert. But in this situation, he could not say much, and could only keep saying things like, "I wish you all a happy life and work," and "We all come from the same city and should stick together."
Wang Yafang, on the other hand, was chattering away, but her words were not on point, and she just jumped back and forth to liven up the atmosphere.
Not to mention that Yu Hong is an introvert.
Xu Kai could only use his identity as the child of a high-ranking official to win over Peng Yuanchao, Cai Lele, and Guan Ling, who were also children of high-ranking officials. As for Zhou Bingkun and Wu Qian, she gave them two smiles, which was her way of welcoming them to join the big family.
Throughout the bonfire party, apart from Su Mingzhe who kept chatting and laughing with everyone, Zheng Juan was the only one who acted like a hostess, gracefully running around and greeting everyone.
After a bonfire party, men and women returned to their dormitories to rest.
Four boys can sleep on one big kang.
The girls had to lay out two more wooden beds before they could make the arrangements.
Fortunately, it was spring and it was not very cold at night. Su Mingzhe took out his fur goods to deal with the emergency, so that the girls did not have to squeeze on the kang.
It was the next day in a blink of an eye.
Since the academic qualifications of the newcomers were "unqualified", (in Su Mingzhe's eyes, those who did not graduate from junior high school were basically semi-illiterate.)
When Su Mingzhe was arranging jobs for the newcomers, he immediately assigned several new female educated youth to be Zheng Juan's assistants, specifically responsible for the work at the mushroom cultivation experimental base.
Wu Qian, Cai Lele and Guan Ling were also quite happy with this arrangement.
After all, the entire mushroom cultivation experimental base covers an area of only more than 100 square meters. The original workload could be completed by Zheng Juan alone. Now the work of one person has become that of three people, and the work content has become easier.
The two boys, Peng Yuanchao and Zhou Bingkun, were assigned to be Wang Quan's assistants, slaughtering sheep and pigs, skinning them and making saltpeter.
Zhou Bingkun is a hard-working person and he will obey whatever work Su Mingzhe assigns him.
As the son of a high-ranking official, Peng Yuanchao was disgusted by Su Mingzhe's arrangement:
"Brother Su, can you give me a different job? I have never killed a chicken since I was a child. I cannot bring myself to kill pigs or sheep."
"I didn't ask you to start right away. Just watch Wang Quan do it first."
Su Mingzhe pretended not to understand what Peng Yuanchao said and said with a smile:
"Of course, if you can't do this job, you can also go to the work team to be a bricklayer, or go to the village to report to the old village chief, or plant crops in the spring. We only have these three jobs here, you can pick any one."
After hearing the three tasks, Peng Yuanchao's face suddenly fell.
Whether it was being a bricklayer or farming, it was not a job he wanted to do.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe was about to go into the mountains to hunt, Peng Yuanchao quickly took two steps, stopped Su Mingzhe, and expressed his thoughts:
"Brother Su, I want to go hunting with you."
Su Mingzhe was amused by Peng Yuanchao's words:
"That's fine, but if you want to go hunting with me, you have to tell me what you can do first."
Su Mingzhe didn't wait for Peng Yuanchao to speak, he just stretched out five fingers and said with a smile:
"If you want to go hunting with me, in my opinion, you need to meet five requirements:
First, you need to be very strong. After you catch the prey, you have to carry it back by yourself. Prey weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms will require you to climb mountains and walk at least ten miles.
The second point is to be patient. As a hunter, sometimes you have to lie in the snow or grass for an hour without moving in order to wait for prey. Sometimes you may need to climb several ravines and mountains to find the traces of prey.
Third, you need courage. Sometimes you may encounter tigers and black bears in the mountains. When you encounter these ferocious mountain beasts, you must not panic and run around, exposing your back, otherwise they will think you are their prey.
Fourth, you need to know the skills of survival in the wild. Sometimes when you go into the deep mountains and forests, you may get lost while walking. If you don’t know how to survive in the wild, you may die after going into the mountains once or twice.
Fifth, you need to know hunting skills. There are no hunting rifles or artillery here. There are only kitchen knives, bows and arrows, and javelins. When you get to the mountains, you need to know how to hunt with these things..."
When Su Mingzhe told Peng Yuanchao an important condition for being a hunter, the others were also listening.
In fact, when Su Mingzhe mentioned the first request, everyone's expression became serious.
It’s scary to think about carrying dozens of kilograms of prey and running for more than ten miles on a mountain road.
Peng Yuanchao straightened his back and said that there was absolutely no problem with him.
But after careful consideration, he realized that he did not meet any of the five requirements.
In the end, under Su Mingzhe's scrutinizing gaze, Peng Yuanchao lowered his head helplessly and said that he would accept the arrangement and first follow Wang Quan to learn how to slaughter pigs and sheep.
After arranging work for everyone, Su Mingzhe gradually began to have more free time. In addition to hunting every day, he also had plenty of time to take Zheng Juan to explore the deep mountains and forests.
In late March, the commune sent someone to notify the old village chief and went to the county town to pick up four educated youth, two men and two women.
That night, Su Mingzhe held a bonfire party for the four newlyweds.
Among the four new arrivals, the two men are named Bai Xiangyang and Li Gui, and the two women are named Bai Xiuli and Zhao Tongtong, all of whom are from the Songhua River area.
These four people, like Peng Yuanchao, Cai Lele and Guan Ling, are children of high-ranking officials. Among them, Bai Xiangyang and Bai Xiuli are siblings.
With the joining of these four people, the number of educated youth at the point reached fifteen.
Near the end of the month, Jichun Machinery Factory also delivered the bulldozers ordered by Su Mingzhe to Mulan County.
Su Mingzhe went to the county town and drove the bulldozer back personally.
With the bulldozer, the five men Peng Yuanchao, Zhou Bingkun, Wang Quan, Bai Xiangyang, and Li Gui finally got a new job - to build a flat road from the mountain village to the county town.
Busy days can make everyone forget about time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of April and the first building of the new primary school was completed.
Su Mingzhe brought all the villagers to inspect the project.
Eight glass windows on the left and right allow sunlight to easily enter the classroom, and the white lime-plastered walls make the classroom appear spacious and bright.
The foundation is solid and the walls are particularly strong.
After acceptance, the villagers expressed great satisfaction.
With the first building completed, the following houses were built much faster.
In the blink of an eye, it was July and summer vacation was approaching. The construction team built the classrooms, teachers' offices, and dormitories of the new primary school.
Su Mingzhe and Zheng Juan, Wang Quan and Wu Qian are all going to get married, so they definitely can't continue staying in the small room in the air-raid shelter.
According to Su Mingzhe, he wanted the old village chief to approve two residential plots, one for himself and one for Wang Quan, and then they would build new houses and new yards.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Juan knew Su Mingzhe's plan for the entire Baiyashan Village, and insisted that the two of them could live in the school dormitory after they got married, since there were many vacant dormitories in the school anyway.
Taking advantage of the warm weather, the work team built a few more greenhouses for the mushroom cultivation experimental base, which will help the people of Baiyashan Village get rid of poverty and become rich.
Zheng Juan's selfless and altruistic attitude made everyone admire her.
However, Su Mingzhe was almost pissed off by Zheng Juan.
The dormitory buildings at school are not soundproof at all. At night, people still don’t know how to do couple activities.
"This woman is a fool!"
Su Mingzhe was helpless about Zheng Juan's persistence.
After the summer vacation at school, Su Mingzhe angrily took Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong back to Jichun City.
When talking about Zheng Juan on the road, I still couldn't help but complain about myself as a silly woman.
"Brother Su, it's not too late for you to regret now." Wang Yafang threw a coquettish glance at Su Mingzhe with an eager look on her face, as if if Su Mingzhe said one more word, she would dare to throw herself into his arms and elope with the man.
Xu Kai couldn't help but poke this outspoken and silly girl with his finger. After a year of getting along with her, everyone had a relatively clear idea of what kind of man Su Mingzhe was.
During this year, Su Mingzhe donated almost all of his hunting earnings without reservation.
According to conservative estimates, the money and items donated by Su Mingzhe are worth at least 40,000 yuan.
In Xu Kai's opinion, a man like Su Mingzhe is either a true moral role model or a treacherous man who appears loyal but has great ambitions. He will definitely not covet women and let their beauty ruin his plans.
Su Mingzhe didn't know yet that this was Xu Kai's evaluation of him.
The sun had not yet set when the car returned to Jichun City.
It gets dark late in the summer.
Su Mingzhe wanted to deal with the furs before it got dark, so the convoy drove directly to the door of the unified sales and purchase store.
Three girls, Wang Yafang, Xu Kai and Yu Hong, also got off the car.
Since it is the first half of the year and spring is a hunting-prohibited season, Su Mingzhe mainly hunts wild boars and other mountain animals as a supplement.
For nearly four months, Su Mingzhe only had more than 400 furs in his hands.
The store sold these more than 400 furs for more than 2,000 yuan.
"Let's go and take you home."
Su Mingzhe didn't say anything about sharing the money among the three girls.
He would give 20% of the more than 2,000 yuan to Wang Quan, Zhou Bingkun, Peng Yuanchao, Bai Xiangyang and Li Gui as wages.
The other girls didn't contribute much, so Su Mingzhe naturally wouldn't share the money with them.
"Fangfang's home is nearby, let's send her off first."
Xu Kai was afraid that Wang Yafang would say something nonsense, so he insisted on sending Wang Yafang home first.
Next came Yu Hong, and finally Xu Kai.
When Xu Kai was sent to the door of his house, Xu Kai could not help but stop Su Mingzhe who was about to leave, and said earnestly:
"Brother Su, Fangfang has always been outspoken. She likes you too much, so she always targets Zheng Juan. Don't blame her."
"I don't blame her."
Su Mingzhe didn't expect Xu Kai to intercede for Wang Yafang. Looking at her delicate face, he couldn't help but smile:
"Whether it's Fangfang or you, as long as you don't do anything that would anger the heavens and the people, I won't blame you."
Pretty girls are always favored.
Su Mingzhe is liked by several female educated youth. Even if they like to target Zheng Juan, he can't be too cold to them.
"Why are you pulling my leg?"
Xu Kai blushed at Su Mingzhe's words.
She liked Su Mingzhe and had never concealed it, but being exposed by Su Mingzhe still caught her off guard.
Su Mingzhe looked at Xu Kai's charming and pretty face because of his shyness, and for a moment he was a little eager to do something, and couldn't help but say:
"What I mean is, if time goes back 30 years, I would openly marry all the girls who like me. Unfortunately, it is not popular to marry so many wives now..."
"I'm home, Brother Su."
Xu Kai only heard that Su Mingzhe was willing to marry her, and she couldn't hear anything else the man said.
As a girl, and the child of a high-ranking official, Xu Kai has been like a proud princess since she was a child, until her parents were sent down to work in a factory, which made her life a little difficult.
But even if life is difficult, Xu Kai is still the proud princess.
Therefore, Su Mingzhe, who has always been a rare talent, is worthy of her love.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe purchased machines and equipment here.
These things were mainly requested by Wang Quan and others.
Over the past few months, Wang Quan and several other male educated youth have barely developed the skills to build roads by improving the roads in the village.
Once you have the skills, you also need to have the equipment to keep up.
Su Mingzhe wanted them to build a good road that could be used for 30 years.
After a busy day, Su Mingzhe finished purchasing the supplies and equipment in a perfunctory manner.
On Saturday, Su Mingzhe first went to Zheng's house to visit Zheng's mother and brother-in-law, and mentioned that he would take them to Baiya Mountain next Friday to attend his and Zheng Juan's wedding.
In the afternoon, Su Mingzhe rushed to Zhou's house again with gifts, saying that he was delivering a letter, but in fact he was visiting Zhou's mother and Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong also has a job now, and the work unit she was assigned to is pretty good. It's the same unit as Jiang Cuiping, which is the Songhua River Soy Sauce Factory where Zhou Bingkun worked in the original plot.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou Rong had not yet gotten off work. When Zhou's mother saw that Su Mingzhe had brought so many gifts, she naturally pulled Su Mingzhe away and refused to let him leave, insisting that he stay at home for dinner first.
It was not until after six o'clock in the afternoon that Zhou Rong returned from get off work on her bicycle.
Zhou's mother was busy making dinner and asked her daughter Zhou Rong to chat with Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe looked at Zhou Rong's pretty face, and for some reason, he felt a strong heat in his body.
Zhou Rong could also feel the man's burning gaze. She had been accustomed to this kind of gaze since she was in junior high and high school.
After all, as the most beautiful girl in the film industry, Zhou Rong has been the object of pursuit by boys since she was a child.
The two of them didn't get along very well when they chatted.
Zhou Rong likes to talk about illusory love and poetry, and she also pursues this kind of romanticism.
Su Mingzhe prefers to talk about wisdom, life, current affairs and so on.
Fortunately, although the topics discussed by the two people did not correspond very well, there was no awkward conversation.
After Zhou's mother prepared dinner, Su Mingzhe didn't want to drink alone because there was no man at home, so he ate a bowl of rice and left reluctantly.
In the following few days, Su Mingzhe visited a group of former classmates and friends.
After all, I'm getting married, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to tell everyone.
I'm telling you all this not for the sake of that little bit of money.
Mainly those who live at the bottom of society always like to have some personal connections to show that they are not numb and oppressed by life.
