There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 546: Something Almost Happened

 “Yes, go to bed early.”

Zheng Dakui replied proudly. This was the opportunity for his daughter to feel proud, and he added to Xinyue: "The leader of the county grain bureau will also give you a certificate. You are now a celebrity in our commune."

When Gao Guilan heard that her daughter was going to wear a big red flower, she immediately beamed, clapped her hands and boasted about herself.

"My Xinyue is a lucky star. It's okay to fall into such a high pit. She has also made great contributions to the commune. Just asking for red flowers is not enough. I have to ask Secretary Du for a reward."

Gao Guilan has already begun to make calculations. He will need at least one hundred catties of grain, preferably white flour and rice, enough to feed his daughter for a year.

"Guilan, in order to get the boss to divorce, I have told the secretary not to reward him."

Zheng Dakui frowned and looked at his wife. He was a man of his word, his spit was like nails, and he would never go back on his word.

 “That’s what you said, you only represent yourself.”

Gao Guilan curled her lips. She wanted Xinyue's reward, not his.

Zheng Dakui was speechless at the rebuke, glared at his wife, flicked his sleeves and entered the house.

Zheng Xinyue secretly gave her mother a thumbs up, smiling with crooked eyebrows, her mother is amazing.

Gao Guilan was so pleased with her daughter's adoring gaze that she followed her husband back to the east room with her hands behind her back and her chin raised.

Zheng Xinyue glanced at the dark yard, intending to find her third brother, but he had already disappeared.

She went back to the house but couldn't sleep. She was worried that her third brother wouldn't be able to find a place and that he was in danger. It wasn't until she heard the door ringing that she hurriedly took off her shoes and ran out.

 “Third brother.”

Zheng Xinyue shouted towards the door in a suppressed voice: "Is that you?"

 “Hush.”

Zheng Laosan and Zheng Laoda booed their sister at the same time. They looked very nervous in the night. They looked at no one in the east and west courtyards and looked behind them before turning back and closing the door.

"did you find it?"

Zheng Xinyue approached her and asked her in a low voice.

“Found it, Xinyue, you hid it really well, it took a lot of searching for me and my eldest brother to find it.”

Zheng Laosan pulled a full sack from behind and praised his sister in a low voice.

Zheng Xinyue heard the unbearable excitement in the third brother's voice, made a hissing gesture, and opened the warehouse door for them with the key.

Zheng Chenglong and Zheng Chengbao carried the sacks and followed into the warehouse. Only then did Zheng Chenglong dare to take a long breath and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat. He did not dare to express his nervousness all the way.

 “Xinyue, you are really capable.”

Zheng Laosan tugged at the hem of his clothes to wipe off his sweat, and praised his sister excitedly.

 Unexpectedly, my little sister had hidden so much food, which was enough for the whole family to eat until the end of the year. Now she no longer had to worry about going hungry.

 “Isn’t there too many third brothers?”

Zheng Xinyue looked at the sacks and felt worried. If Zheng Cuixiang went crazy and went to the commune to complain, the commune would have to send people to the village to search every house. There would be problems with so much food.

"Not much. I want to take advantage of tonight with my eldest brother to move all the grain out of the pit! Little sister, there is wheat and rice in the pit and they will be ground for you and your parents to eat."

Zheng Laosan fanned himself with the lapel of his clothes, his eyes shining with excitement. When he was transporting grain, he wanted to get some rice and wheat, but his father was so worried that he couldn't get it.

 It annoyed him to death. Seeing these two things today made him extremely happy.

“Third brother, forget it. Don’t tell anyone about the food. Something almost happened today.”

Zheng Xinyue warned her eldest brother and third brother in a low voice that she planned to put the sack of grain into the space just in case.

"Xin Yue is right. Third brother, you must keep your mouth shut when you go out. If this matter is exposed, the whole village will be deceived."

“I understand. As long as our family doesn’t have that troublemaker, nothing will be exposed. Brother, you can’t be soft-hearted this time. You can’t make her come back no matter what you say.”
