I am a cripple in the Siheyuan. Who am I afraid of?

Chapter 382 I can no longer harden my heart
Song Wu was brought to the work team by Sun Yuying. Unexpectedly, she threw Song Wu into Shijiacun and returned to Sijiucheng by herself.

This reality. It made him itch with hatred, so he had to use all his strength to double the punishment.

Sun Yuying left happily, and the life of the Song Wu work team will continue as always.

Song Wu really didn't want to bother with anything here, because he knew deeply that "everything is sad when a family is poor." Your stomach is not full, so why don’t you try your best to get food into your stomach?

In fact, during the difficult times in the past few years, most commune brigade cadres were trying to find ways to prevent people in their villages from going hungry. Anyway, it can be said that the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea, each showing his own abilities, and there are definitely many who have missed the mark.

Therefore, this is also one of the main reasons why Song Wu was not very active in this event. After all, it was all about filling his stomach, which was not easy. It was understandable that he would eat a lot of food carefully.

After all, there are only a few people like Vice Captain Shen and Lao Shitou, so Song Wu is lucky to meet one.

So in the remaining days, he began to work hard and fish. In addition, their work teams often rotated. Three or five days in the brigade, and three or five days in other places, it was non-stop. He relaxed his mind. Think of it as a B&B trip. This attitude actually allowed him to get along well with local villagers and commune members wherever he went.

Think about it, he often helps lonely elderly people with work, and he will lend a hand to anyone who has work. Anyway, he has nothing to do and is full of energy.

The most important point is that he can work but has little food to eat. He often greets people in advance for the food he distributes, which is only half the usual amount.

As expected, this mother and daughter did not come from ordinary families. Director Tao's mother-in-law was the wife of a fake military officer. Her husband ran away to the other side, but they did not take her with them.

Ten days passed smoothly without any incident.

Song Wu thought that Director Tao probably brought this back from the south when he returned from serving as a soldier.

The director of the Poverty Association and his wife lived in one room, and the mother-in-law lived in another room. When Song Wu went there, he had to make a bed in the middle room.

As a result, after listening to the root of the house at night, I also heard a secret.

During the meeting and conversation, Song Wu learned that Director Tao was serving as a soldier in the south, was injured, and had just returned from his job.

The director of the Poverty Association, it is true that life at home is not good, with branches and dry grass, a fenced yard, and three thatched mud houses.

The director of the Poverty Association seems to be in his early 30s at most, and his surname is Tao.

In addition, he always felt that Director Tao's wife was not like a woman from a small family like his mother-in-law.

However, these two women didn't talk much. After Song Wu arrived at his house, they basically didn't raise their heads, and they couldn't even sit together when eating. Anyway, it felt very awkward for Song Wu to stay in this house. .

By chance, Song Wu found her lying on the bed with a book and reading there. There were a few people in the village who had nothing to do and read, so this little daughter-in-law's habit of lying down and reading was really strange.

Regarding the work team's task of visiting the poor and asking questions about hardship, he regarded it as an experience of visiting rural legends, customs and folk stories. He could also enjoy the hardships, and finally life was not so difficult.

After almost 20 days in the countryside, when Song Wu thought he could finish the event safely, he moved to a small village on the mountainside and arranged to stay with the local director of the Poverty Association.

His wife surprised Song Wu the most. Visually, she was at least seventeen or eighteen years old but less than 20 years old, because her appearance and figure were too young, and she seemed to be from the south.

His little daughter-in-law, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, has never been seen doing housework or going out.

Song Wu was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. The main reason was that the director of the Poverty Association had a large family and the housing was not well-off. Now that he was a foreigner, living there was very inconvenient.

The main hall of the director's house was very simple, with only a temporary wooden bed built with removed door panels, a small table with missing legs padded with bricks, a small stool, and a urine bucket at the bedside.

Who doesn't like such a person?

Even Director Tao's mother-in-law is less than 40 years old at most. Both mother and daughter are very beautiful, completely different from the feeling of northern women.

Originally, because of the awkward living situation, Song Wu usually blocked off all his senses and hearing so that he could have a good sleep and avoid being disturbed by the movements of the young couple next door, but now he became curious. Heart.

Because it was inconvenient for others to change houses, he had no choice but to accommodate himself.

Director Tao didn't know how he met them. He was young and strong, and fell in love with the little beauty. When he recovered, he took both of them back to his hometown.

I went to the village to give some things to the brigade cadres and settled the household registration, which was a clean slate for the mother and daughter.

Song Wu felt a headache after hearing this. What should he do now? To report or not to report?
The key point is that he is not sure whether the family has any special status. If the mother and daughter just want to live a good life and have finally settled down, wouldn't it be bad for him to report on the family's life?

It's really not easy these days, and Song Wu doesn't want to easily destroy other people's stable lives.

Since going to the countryside this time, he has basically not used his senses and hearing. Otherwise, it would be more effective than any other working method. As long as he goes there, no village can have any secrets. However, he really has no interest in doing these things. He just wants to focus on not worrying about outside affairs and strive to finish fishing and return to Sijiu City as soon as possible.

But now that he encountered this southern mother and daughter, he had a headache, not to mention that it also involved the brigade cadres collecting things.

This sudden incident really upset Song Wu. It was almost a month old, and maybe he could be transferred back to Sijiu City. Why did something happen again?
It just so happens that these things are exactly the work content of their work team. If you don't check it out after knowing it, you will always feel awkward.

Finally unable to stay out of the situation, Song Wu went to the production team leader's house the next night under cover of darkness to inquire about the situation.

Originally, he was just going through the motions to make himself feel at ease, but it just happened to happen. In his perception, he didn't know what was going on. It was so late at the production captain's house, and the accountant and the captain were still sitting together and lighting an oil lamp. He was muttering there.

Alas, since we have all met, it seems that it is fate, so let's listen.

As a result, Song Wu accidentally heard the details of the offensive and defensive alliance agreed between the captain and the accountant. Moreover, I heard that they not only had the problem of collecting things and paying for their duties, but also had the problem of secretly sharing food during the difficult period of the previous two years.

This time Song Wu had an even bigger headache. Why was it so difficult to make a living by fishing?

Song Wu returned to Director Tao's house amidst all kinds of tangles, but was surprised to find that Director Tao's house was quite lively at this time. What about a family of three eating together?
What does this mean when he leaves and his family steals food? Even if you eat delicious food in front of me, I won’t want it. There are regulations for our work. We dare not eat cabbage stewed with tofu in Shijiacun.

Song Wu didn't come near, but released his senses outside the yard, and immediately sensed that Director Tao, his young wife, and his mother-in-law were still eating meat.

Song Wu was very angry. This situation is not very lethal, but extremely insulting. Song Wu could understand his family's approach, but he couldn't accept it.

He was already preparing to enter the hospital without a care and embarrass the three of them.

But he had just made up his mind and before he could move his feet, he suddenly heard the little wife who had been standing aside not using her chopsticks frowning and saying, "No, I still can't eat it no matter what." When I thought about them, they were alive. The squeaking rats make me feel sick, and I feel disgusted when I see you two eating them. I would rather starve to death."

After saying that, the young wife threw the chopsticks directly on the Kang table, turned around and went to the main room alone, and sat down on Song Wu's bed with the door panel.

Song Wu had already stopped his feet at this time and was not ready to go in again. This family is eating rat meat, so let’s not bother them, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

But to be honest, at this time, he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect that at this time in 64, he was still eating rat meat.

Now he is no longer in the mood to pursue the matter of Director Wang bringing the mother and daughter from the south.

Please pay more attention in the future, and observe more in the remaining days.

Really, he had to admit that he was soft-hearted.

That night, he waited until Director Tao and his family had finished eating the rat meat and put it away and went to bed again, then he returned to the yard in the dark, entered the main room, and lay down on his wooden bed.

But with his eyes closed, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was full of thoughts.

It was like watching a movie in his mind, recalling the nearly 20 days since he went to the countryside. He always felt that this unprecedented experience had given him a deeper understanding and understanding of this era, and he couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart. He even wrote a limerick that inspired him to write poetry.

It’s the first spring since we went to the countryside on June 4th.

Live in poor people's homes.

Radish, sweet potato and rice,
How could I be in the mood to check again?

No matter how many big events there are.

People must ultimately take care of their families.

Just want to live in peace.

Less wind and rain.

Hey, what should we do with the production team leader and accountant? If the two men's affairs were reported, Director Tao's family would inevitably be implicated. Not reporting it was really a problem in Song Wu's mind. To be honest, it was a bit too cheap for those two people. After all, those two people shared the food secretly, but Gu Xiaojia cheated so many members of the brigade.

He tossed and turned on the door panel of the main room that night, still unable to make up his mind. Every time he became cruel, he remembered what his little wife said just now about the feeling of eating rat meat.

Then he could no longer harden his heart.
