Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Not sure whether it was because he was too tired or because Xiao Xiangdong's voice was too hypnotic, Meng Xiaoman fell asleep while listening.

Knowing that the two of them would sleep on the same kang that night, Xiao Xiangdong was anxious all afternoon. Although the distance between the two bedding sheets was similar to the distance between the two previous beds, he was still nervous.

Xiao Xiangdong is a mature man, and the woman he likes lying next to him, how could he not have any ideas.

However, his nervousness and apprehension became a little helpless and self-deprecating in the sound of Meng Xiaoman's quick breathing.

In vain, he thought about all the possible situations and countermeasures, but he never thought that she would be so open-minded and fall asleep so quickly.

"Is it because I think too much? Or does she not like me at all and has no thoughts about me? Or she trusts me too much? Otherwise, why doesn't she have any special emotions or reactions when she sleeps with a man?"

Xiao Xiangdong lay on the kang, eyes wide open, and began to doubt himself.

Meng Xiaoman had no idea what Xiao Xiangdong was thinking. In her heart, she already acquiesced that his nominal roommate was inhumane. Xiao Xiangdong's position in his heart is that of a handsome heterosexual sister, a hard-working roommate who knows how to live a good life.

After the seeds were planted in the ground, it never rained. I saw that the ground was getting drier and drier, and the germination of the seeds was not good. The team decided to water the fields to combat drought.

At this time, watering is mainly done manually. When it comes to tiring farm work, watering must be at the top of the list, especially in late autumn and early winter.

Every winter, people from the Qinghe Brigade build reservoirs and ditches. The fields in the plains are relatively good, with ditches connecting them, so watering is more convenient.

The real trouble is those dry lands on slopes that need to be lifted manually for irrigation.

Half of the fields in Qinghe Brigade are on such slopes.

The job Meng Xiaoman was assigned today was to carry water and irrigate the dry land on the hillside. The assigned field is the furthest away from the canal for fetching water. It takes half an hour to go back and forth. According to this progress, today's task will not be completed at all.

Looking at the pole at her feet, Meng Xiaoman was in trouble. She had never used a pole before and could not use it to carry water.

He took the shoulder pole and bucket to the ditch, filled up the water, hung the buckets on both ends of the shoulder pole, followed other people's example, put the shoulder pole in the center on his shoulders, bent down, and stood up.

Well, I didn’t get up. If I get up again, I still don’t get up.

This is awkward.

At this moment, a tall and thin woman came to Meng Xiaoman and said, "This is your first time carrying water. At the beginning, you should carry less water. Once you get used to it, you can slowly add more."

As she spoke, she poured out half of the water in Meng Xiaoman's bucket and said, "Try again now.".

Meng Xiaoman tried again and finally picked up the water. After only two steps, it started to sway and a lot of water in the bucket splashed out.

"Don't be so stiff. Just follow the swing of the pole and master your balance. You'll be fine after a few more trips." the woman guided.

Meng Xiaoman followed the method she said, and it was indeed much better.

"Thank you, eldest sister, by the way, my name is Meng Xiaoman, what about you?"

"My name is Zhao Xiaofang. You can just call me Sister Fang. By the way, your man is Xiao Xiangdong. I live to the east of your house."

Meng Xiaoman thought of what Xiao Xiangdong said last night. Sister Fang was the widow of that man named Zhou Dongsheng.

"Yes, Sister Fang."

Sister Fang and she were in the same production team. She had only met a few times before and didn't know each other. She didn't expect that the two were neighbors.

Sister Fang was cheerful and hard-working. Seeing that Meng Xiaoman was not as difficult to get in touch with as rumored, she started chatting with her.

The two of them were carrying water and talking as they walked.

Meng Xiaoman was panting heavily, sweating after walking for a while, and her face was flushed. On the other hand, Sister Fang beside her was not panting, her face was not red, and even her hair was not messed up. She looked very relaxed.

"Sister Fang, you are so awesome." Meng Xiaoman wiped her sweat with her sleeves and said.

"It won't be a big deal once you get used to it. You learn quickly, but you're just too weak. By the way, remember to bring a towel over in the afternoon and put it on your shoulders. Otherwise, the skin on your shoulders will be worn out in a few days. ”

"Yeah, I understand, thank you Sister Fang for reminding me."

Zhao Xiaofang had never dealt with Meng Xiaoman before, but she had heard that she was arrogant, lazy, unreasonable and overbearing. She was at odds with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law as soon as she entered the house, and even made a fuss about living separately.

I couldn't help but say a few words to her today, and found out that she was easy to get along with, polite, and sweet-tongued. She was not at all as bad as people outside said.

She just said that Xiao Xiangdong was a good boy from all over the country, how could he marry a lazy and unruly wife.

The rumors were indeed the most unbelievable.

If Xiao Xiangdong's legs were not disabled, the two of them would have matched up more often.

Alas, what a pity.

However, she is still willing to marry Xiao Xiangdong with legs like this, which shows that she is also a kind and righteous girl.

Zhao Xiaofang thought of the chattering women in the village, and thought that she would have to clarify things for her next time we met again. A girl who is so popular is a good girl, so don't let your reputation be ruined.

Maybe it was because I had been caught in the rain, so I wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

When her husband died unexpectedly, she was only a few years older than Meng Xiaoman.

There was a lot of trouble at the widow's doorstep, but a man from the same village helped her family a few times, so people in the village said she was seducing people and climbing walls.

"A woman in her twenties with a two- or three-year-old child will definitely not live long. Let's wait and see. She will definitely remarry soon."

"What kind of family can a woman take on? I think her family, whether old or young, will starve to death sooner or later!"

"My husband is already dead, so who are you going to clean up and show it to? Who are you trying to seduce?"

There were even bold second-rate scoundrels and bastards who came to climb over the wall of her house.

Zhao Xiaofang put a kitchen knife by the bedside every night before going to bed. It wasn't until she almost cut off a gangster's arm that she scared the gangsters away from him.

When she met an aunt in the village who gossiped about her, she would scold her in person.

Even when working, she works hard. She can do the work that women can do better than others, and she can also do the work that men can do.

Gradually, no one said anything bad about her anymore.

Three years after her husband passed away, she took good care of her mother-in-law and son.

Meng Xiaoman carried the load three times and gradually mastered the essentials of carrying water. However, the hardwood pole was too hard on her shoulders, especially since she was thin and her shoulder bones were protruding, which made her even more painful.

Zhao Xiaofang passed by and saw her frowning and rubbing her shoulders, and couldn't help but say: "You have no experience and little strength. You shouldn't do this job just to earn a few more work points. If you get tired and injured, you will be the one to suffer in the future."

Meng Xiaoman moved his stiff shoulder blades and asked in confusion: "Isn't it assigned directly by the team leader? I didn't actively ask to do this?"

"You didn't ask for it, that's weird. According to past customs, women were responsible for the plain fields that are easy to water, and men were responsible for the hillside fields that are difficult to water. The hillside fields are more labor-intensive, and accordingly the work points are higher. Some women are stronger. , in order to earn more work points, I will actively ask to work here."

When she saw Meng Xiaoman watering the fields on the hillside, she subconsciously thought that she was asking for it in order to earn more work points. Seeing her working so hard reminded her of her old self, so she couldn't help but teach her to fetch water.

"I'll ask the team leader."

It’s not that Meng Xiaoman doesn’t want to work, but she hates being treated like a monkey.

Although watering sloping fields earns you a lot of work points, it is really tiring and it is all physical work. For Meng Xiaoman, a newbie, not to mention earning more work points, he can't even earn his usual work points.

She wouldn't believe it if there was nothing fishy about it.
