The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 103 Giving birth in the field, surprise!

As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts.

The ground was covered with a layer of white snow, which slowly melted away, revealing a touch of green, and the breath of spring followed.

This also indicates that the busy season has arrived.

Liu Jun's punishment also had to be put into action. The fat cows he raised began to plow the land, and the plow and harrow turned up the fertile soil inch by inch.

Finally, plant the corn seedlings.

Repeating the same actions over and over again, running after the cow's back, I was so tired that I just wanted to stick out my tongue.

The seemingly simple job is actually not easy. You have to run behind and hold the plow. Even the depth of the plow has requirements. It is not an easy job.

Otherwise, I wouldn't take this as a punishment.

The brigade cadres will not draw conclusions rashly. They will definitely give the most appropriate punishment after discussion.

But there's someone watching me, so I have no time to rest.

He felt very aggrieved, but he dared not complain.

Chen Huaiyang saw this while planting corn seedlings in the distance and smiled happily. He thought that it was his own fault and it felt refreshing to see others being punished.

This spring, the company of fat cows should be able to comfort his depressed mood.

Planting seems easy, but it is not easy.

First apply a layer of fertilizer and then plant.

Where does fat come from?
The manure in dry toilets, cow dung, and pig dung become fertile nutrients after being piled up and fermented.

The food must be fat in order to grow strong, and the team members seem to be used to it and do not complain about the hard work or the tiredness.

The fields were filled with the sound of lively chatter.

Corn is the most planted crop of the year, so naturally we are busy all the time.

At this moment, accompanied by a loud roar, an unimaginable thing happened.

A pregnant woman was actually giving birth in the field.

When Chen Huaiyang heard this, his face turned pale. How stupid!

Even though I know I have to raise it, I still come to work.

A typical case of working until birth, this was something he had never even thought of.

"There's no way back. The amniotic fluid has broken and the baby is about to be born. Go over and help block it, otherwise this woman will be drowned in spit!"

Rumors are still scary at this time.

They are afraid of being talked about when they are together, let alone giving birth in public and being seen by others. Which man can be so generous? Life will definitely be difficult in the future.

So, the women all stopped what they were doing, gathered around the man and blocked his view.

Chen Huaiyang looked at this unhesitating act of kindness with a feeling of emotion in his heart. This period was still pure!

The sharp shouts and painful howls, with a hint of forbearance in the voices, made the listeners feel confused.

I don’t know how long the pregnant woman was in labor pains, I only heard the baby crying, and then he was born in this vast land.

The crisp cry also indicates vitality.

Then, a voice of disgust was heard.

"Why is she a girl?"

The unhappy voice of the woman next to her rang out, "Golden Hair Mom, you are too nosy. It's not your daughter-in-law giving birth. The mother-in-law didn't say anything, and now you are complaining about it."

"Stop talking nonsense here, let the child and the mother go back to rest!"

"I haven't eaten a grain of rice from your family, so I really can't care about these gossips. Say less and do some good deeds for yourself!"

The golden retriever's mother curled her lips, "Tell me what's wrong? Everyone knows that girls are worthless and will eventually get married off. It's a waste of food to keep them."

"I can't hold it in anymore, so I'm going to say it out loud. You guys are holding it in your heart, and you all have the same idea. Why are you pretending?"

"We all live on this land, so we all know each other! You only boast when you have grandsons, but if you have two granddaughters, your face will be very depressed."

"Who doesn't want sons these days? Only with more sons can you have support and stand tall. Anyone who wants to bully others should consider whether he has the ability to do so."

"Girls are wasting food, it's useless."

Yang Xiaolin was listening to this and thought it was ridiculous. "Aunt, what you said is wrong. Women hold up half the sky. Why do you still discriminate against women?"

"Children are all pieces of their mother's flesh and blood. Whoever has their own child should love them. How can you despise me like this?"

"How do you think you were born? Your mother strangled you to death before giving birth to you. You are so lucky!"

"Otherwise, according to what you said, you have no right to stand here. I'll find a bucket of water and drown you."

"Your thinking is wrong. We should listen to the instructions of the leaders and not keep old ideas. If this gets out, you have to be careful!"

There was a hint of accusation in Yang Xiaolin's calm tone, and a hint of disdain on her face, which made the golden-haired mother feel hot when facing everyone's gazes.

She had never been to school, and when she heard all these accusations, she felt flustered, but she was unwilling to admit defeat, so she stiffened her neck and said,

"My wife will definitely give birth to a son. She looks so skinny, it doesn't look like she will be blessed."

"I don't know what instructions the leaders have given me. I am just a woman in the brigade. I only know that sons are the ones who carry on the family line. If a family does not have a son, they are not even qualified to raise their heads."

The women in the brigade laughed and teased, "That may not be the case! Anything is possible. You sound so sure, I'm afraid your wife is raising a girl."

“Sometimes the more you expect something, the less likely it will come to you. That’s possible.”

"Stop talking so much and get back to work, so your fat grandson won't go hungry."

As he spoke, he cleaned up everything.

The woman's husband took her back.

As for the newly born daughter, she was held in her grandmother's arms without any disgust.

It can be seen that he has a good life.

The crowd here quickly dispersed, the bloodstains on the ground were covered with mud, and the smell of blood slowly spread.

Although it is heartbreaking, it heralds the arrival of a newborn baby.

Everyone returned to their own positions and got busy.

Chen Huaiyang came up to Yang Xiaolin, gave her a thumbs up, and said in a praising tone, "Not bad! Comrade Xiaolin is getting more and more powerful now, and her courage is getting bigger and bigger. She even dares to confront others."

Yang Xiaolin thought that the reason why he kept silent was probably because birds of a feather flock together.
After spending a long time with him, I didn't learn anything else, but I did learn his sharp-tongued ways.

Whenever she saw something unfair, she wanted to speak out. She never thought she could be so decisive!

She argued with reason and in an orderly manner, leaving the other person speechless. In the past, it would have been impossible for her to do this with her mild personality.

First of all, she won't try to be the leader. She knows herself well and won't get involved in matters that she shouldn't be involved in.

When did you have the confidence to meddle in other people's affairs?

I guess it was after she followed Chen Huaiyang!

When courage grows, fear is no longer an issue. Finally, I blurted out something that even I myself was puzzled about: "If I don't speak up to help, will you come out and blame me?"

Chen Huaiyang thought about it and shook his head. "No, it's not that I don't have sympathy, but the women were talking together, and I couldn't go forward."

"First, she is giving birth, and if I go there, it will damage her reputation. Secondly, her husband is also there, so it is not my turn to seek justice for her. She definitely doesn't like me meddling in her affairs."

"Another thing is that if I suddenly support her, it will also arouse suspicion from others. Sometimes gossip makes it even more difficult for people to gain a foothold."

"From this perspective, it's better for me not to support her than to support her. We can't use the purpose of doing good things to force people into danger in the end!"

"This is a case of good intentions leading to bad results. Not only did it not get done properly, I'm afraid I'll even be resented."

After hearing his explanation, Yang Xiaolin was no longer troubled, but another doubt accumulated in her heart, "Do you also think that a son is better?"

Chen Huaiyang was stunned, and after a moment he returned to his nonchalant look, "Why, are you thinking about giving birth to a child for me?"

"If you are willing to give birth to me, even if it is a girl, I will spoil you to the heavens."

"Don't let other people's ideas hold you back. If you don't have a throne to inherit, why must it be a son?"

"I like girls too. When are you going to give birth to one for me?"

Yang Xiaolin glared at him and said, "I slipped up and shouldn't have asked you this." He became more and more demanding.

"Go ahead and get busy. Aren't you trying to make me fat? Then earn some more work points."

When Chen Huaiyang thought of the feel of that hand, he immediately became motivated.

"No problem. I am willing to bear the heavy burden. It would be better if I can grow meatier."

Yang Xiaolin: “…” She spoke without restraint.

I was too lazy to pay attention to him and just kept moving forward.

Take a break at noon and return to the educated youth point.

Earlier, the pregnant woman's mother-in-law came with some eggs to thank Yang Xiaolin. She looked like a very simple woman from the brigade.

Yang Xiaolin refused without thinking.

"Auntie, we are all educated youth, and it is my duty to protect her. I am helping her today, and I will be satisfied if someone else can help me next time."

"A pregnant woman is in the period of recuperation, so these eggs must be kept with her. Take them home quickly and we will visit her again in a few days."

"She is a blessed person. It is her fortune to have a caring mother-in-law like you."

Not to mention how many I saw in the brigade, I saw quite a few female educated youth who married into the team and lived a miserable life.

There are very few people like Xiao Jin who give birth outside and raise a daughter without being despised by her mother-in-law!

She would also be happy to visit someone like her.

The woman was not good at talking to begin with, so she was convinced by her just a few words. She even had a bag of brown sugar in her pocket.

I wanted to come here to thank someone, but ended up taking advantage of him.

Yang Xiaolin was thinking about this matter, so she told Liu Li about it.

Liu Li said, "I'll let the female educated youth in the team know and see if they want to visit. But I think it's unlikely, maybe just the two of us can go."

If you marry into a team, you will be integrated into the new collective. It's fine if you can live a mediocre life. But if you live in poverty and bring food to visit a pregnant woman, you will definitely be scolded by your mother-in-law.

Everyone has their own difficulties, and it is not good to force others.

Yang Xiaolin nodded, "I think if we go to visit him, it will be considered as our best effort."

"As for whether the female educated youth who married into the brigade are willing to go, that is their business."

Chen Huaiyang didn't want to go, but was finally dragged away.

Yang Xiaolin said: "You can go and talk to the male team members, move around more, so that others don't know that you have contributed."

Chen Huaiyang nodded. "It's rare to see you so enthusiastic, so I'll go there! I didn't want to go there in the first place."

Tian Dong was also dragged away. He couldn’t be the only one who stood out!

When they arrived at the place, they happened to hear accusations, which made them speechless and want to roll their eyes.

Chen Huaiyang shrugged and paused, "I'm too lazy to go in, otherwise I'm afraid I'll scold people, and if I get angry and get sick, I'll have to take responsibility."

Tian Dong followed suit.

The two female educated youth were speechless.

How did Lin Zhen become like this now?
After knocking on the door and stepping inside, Yang Xiaolin evaded the question rudely, "Lin Zhen, I heard your voice from so far away. You are also an educated youth who has studied."

"Have you read all the books into the dog's stomach?"

"Aren't boys and girls the same? Can you guarantee that you are a son? If it's not a son, you are so arrogant now, but will you shrink back when the time comes?"

"People who are giving birth and confinement need to stay in a good mood. Look at what you said, every sentence is just evasive. You don't want people to have a good confinement!"

"Be good at speaking good words for yourself, and save some blessings for your children. Don't just pour it out without any consideration."

Lin Zhen was choked for a moment and argued, "I didn't say anything. I just told her to take care of her health and have another son!"

"Sons are meant to carry on the family line. Isn't it normal to have a son?"

"I'm doing this for her own good, why am I causing her trouble?"

"Go around the village and you'll see which family doesn't want a son. I'm just telling you the truth."

Yang Xiaolin was speechless for a while and couldn't communicate with her. She bypassed her and went to see Xiaojin, bringing some eggs and rice that she had exchanged.

Lin Zhen stared at the generous gift and gritted her teeth, "You are quite generous. You brought such a generous gift during the birth."

Yang Xiaolin shrugged, "You have to eat good food when you are taking care of your body, otherwise how can you take care of yourself?"

"It's fate that counts between people. When Sister Li got married, everyone gave gifts. It's not right for others not to give gifts when they raise a child!"

"If you were a stingy person, you would definitely not get this treatment. You are stingy and you still want others to be generous. Who do you think you are?"

"No one is stupid. We have a clear mind and we must not encourage those who want to take advantage of us."

"We do things openly and honestly. We don't take advantage of others, nor do we let others take advantage of us."

"You said what I said, right?"

Although nothing was said explicitly, it was made clear that if you don't want to save face, don't blame others for taking it away.

It's impossible to be a whore and want to be a virtuous woman at the same time.

Lin Zhen's face turned dark, especially when she heard her making indirect accusations. She wanted to lose her temper but had to hold it back.

After all, I don't dare to offend anyone.
Who knows whether the educated youth will support her in the future?

Although he felt aggrieved, he did not dare to curse at others.

She was already inferior to Yang Xiaolin, who was very caring towards her, but she ignored her at the critical moment.

Now seeing that she doesn't want to pay attention to her, she feels a little uncomfortable.

But it's all my own fault, and I have no one to complain to.
