Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 34 I Don’t Want to Leave, I Want to Take a Bus
"What? You still want me to carry you?" The team leader followed the ox cart with a pipe in his mouth. The driver was the village cowherd Dong Gensheng, who joined the army in his early years, had a lame leg, and retired from the army.

"Captain, we are still missing two people. Yu Xiaomin and Xu Qinghuan are not here." Kong Lijuan felt something was wrong. She looked for a long time before she remembered that the man who beat her was missing.

Just then, a tractor rumbled past. On the truck bed, the person sitting highest and looking the farthest was Xu Qinghuan. Who else could it be but Xu Qinghuan?
After a moment of stunned silence, the tractor drove away.

The soles of her feet were rubbed so hard that she collapsed instantly. She pointed at the tractor and said angrily, "Captain, isn't this too unfair? We are all educated youth who came to the countryside. Why can Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin ride on a tractor while we have to walk on foot?
No, I won’t leave, I want to take a car!”

She was so tired that her feet were rubbed raw after just a few steps.

Jiang Baohua had been the team leader for so many years and had experienced so many things. After hearing this, he took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled, and squinted his eyes and said,
"I didn't say you can't ride the tractor. Today, the team sent to the commune only one tractor and one oxcart. It's fine if you want to ride the tractor, but not the oxcart. Oxen are more valuable than people, and they only carry goods, not people!"

"Then I'll ride a tractor!" Lu Nianying didn't understand, she only heard that she could ride a tractor.

Jiang Baohua said, "Then go sit down!"

After saying that, he paid no more attention and walked slowly behind the ox cart.

Only then did Lu Nianying realize that she had been fooled. Where did she go to ride the tractor? The tractor had already gone far away. If she wanted to chase it, she had to catch up with it.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Kong Lijuan asked in a gentle voice, "Captain, how long will it take to get here?"

"It's only about twelve or thirteen miles, and it will take us more than an hour to get there on foot." Jiang Baohua told the truth.

Everyone wailed in their hearts. It would take more than an hour. It was simply killing them.

Xu Qinghuan also saw that the others were walking. This old hand tractor couldn't be driven fast, but it wasn't slow either. At least it was much faster than walking.

"Xinyu, how did you know I was coming?"

If it weren't for Qiao Xinyu, she would probably have walked like everyone else today.

"I heard from my mom that Lanlan told my mom the day you arrived, and she called me and said she'd send us some money when you got here," Qiao Xinyu chided. "You signed up to go to the countryside, but didn't tell my parents? Were you afraid they'd ask you to bring me anything?"

Xu Qinghuan knew that her good friend didn't mean that. It would be more convenient to send it to her than to ask her to bring it. Even if she said it, Qiao's father and mother would never let her help bring it. After all, she had a lot of her own things when she went to the countryside this time.

"No, I made the decision in a hurry and time was very tight. There was no time at all."

In fact, she was afraid that her subsequent series of actions would make the Jiang family mistakenly believe that the Qiao family was helping them.

The Qiao family is just an ordinary working class family. If the Jiang family takes action, the Qiao family will have no ability to resist.

She also didn't know what the Jiang family would do in the end. That was why she had the photos in her hand but didn't choose to report them, but instead used them to exchange for a statement to break off the engagement. It wasn't that she wanted to let Jiang's father go, but she could leave, but what about the relatives, friends and elders who had taken care of her and stayed in the city?
Qiao Xinyu learned from her mother that Xu Qinghuan had broken off the engagement with Jiang Chengxu. Thinking about how much her good friend had been looking forward to marrying into the Jiang family, and now she had ended up like this, she felt heartbroken.

However, a girl's reputation is too important. If there is even the slightest trace of something, her name will be spread out in a completely distorted form and her reputation will be ruined. So I had to suppress the urge to ask.

"Looking like this, can you do the job? Don't mess with the young guys in our team and ruin the atmosphere. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you don't look like someone who follows the rules!" Qiu Linghua glanced at Xu Qinghuan with disdain.

Yu Xiaomin was also someone she despised, but comparatively speaking, she was much better than this educated young man named Xu. Qiao Xinyu introduced the sisters-in-law and aunts in the car to Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin, and Qiu Linghua started to rant.

Qiao Xin's tone was bad and he wanted to kick Qiu Linghua off the tractor, but firstly, human life was at stake, and secondly, although Qiu Linghua was unwelcome in the production team, there was also a gap between the team and the educated youth. People could bully their own people, but they would not allow outsiders to bully them easily.

Xu Qinghuan glanced at the man and said coldly, "Then I admire your man. He looks so ugly, but he can still eat. He is really capable!"

Haha! The sisters-in-law and aunts in the car couldn't help laughing. No one expected that the new Xu Zhiqing looked like a fairy, but her mouth was sharp and she was also a hot pepper!
"What are you talking about, little slut?"

Qiu Linghua was so angry that she stood up and wanted to slap Xu Qinghuan, but her body shook twice and the tractor stopped suddenly. She fell straight backwards. Fortunately, she was quick enough to grab the edge, but she still fell outside the truck bed.

Jiang Xingye got off the tractor and walked over with his long legs. His face was as cold as the early frost in the coldest days of winter, his eyes were fierce, and he kicked her to the ground. He picked up a backpack from the car and threw it to the side of the road. Without saying a word, he drove away on the tractor.

That backpack belongs to Qiu Linghua.

Qiu Linghua was dumbfounded. She quickly picked up the backpack and chased after the tractor. Her hands reached the edge of the bucket several times, but the tractor kept accelerating and eventually left her far behind.

"Jiang Xingye, you little bastard, you will not die a good death..."

Qiu Linghua's curses could be heard from afar. Xu Qinghuan frowned. She picked up a stone from the corner of the truck bed and threw it out while no one was paying attention. It hit Qiu Linghua right on the acupoint under her knee. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

Shangjiang Brigade is backed by mountains and faces the river. Three large mountains stand like a barrier to the north of the production team. From a distance, they look like the three screens behind the emperor's throne. The river in front is winding like a jade belt surrounding the mountain village. It is truly a Feng Shui treasure land.

The fields here are vast and the black soil is fertile. We grow one season of rice and one season of wheat every year, as well as potatoes, sweet potatoes, sorghum and corn. Although we still rely more on the weather for our food, when the harvest is poor, we can still rely on the mountains for our livelihood. Even in the worst years, we rarely hear of people starving to death.

However, it is not uncommon for people to freeze to death in winter.

There are a total of eight teams under the Shangjiang Brigade, and each team has about thirty or forty households. These days, every family has many children, and some have three or even four generations living together. It is normal for a family to have twenty or thirty people.

The educated youth point and the brigade headquarters were set up together. It was originally the house of a large landlord. There were two courtyards in total, both made of blue bricks and large tiles. One of the large courtyards was used as the brigade headquarters.

The five upper rooms were connected, with kangs on three sides and a vestibule outside the outer door. The production team usually held meetings here, assigned tasks every morning, and the three big bosses worked here, as well as received public guests.

The east wing is the brigade office, and the west wing is used to store farm tools and supplies.

A smaller courtyard at the back east of the brigade headquarters is the educated youth site. It is separated by three upper rooms. The main room is the kitchen and dining and living room. On the left is the room where the male educated youth live, and on the right is the room where the female educated youth live.

There are also kangs on three sides and a Hulan chimney on the roof.

There are also three rooms in the east and west wing rooms, which are smaller in size and have kangs.

The tractor stopped midway between the brigade headquarters and the educated youth site, with the bed facing the main gate. Qiao Xinyu jumped out first and said to Xu Qinghuan, who was surveying the village, "Huanhuan, we're here!"
