The surname Zhang is considered a common surname in the Qinghe Brigade, and there are many members of the clan, but the party secretary and captain of the brigade have not been members of the Zhang family for two or three terms.

Zhang Mancang's father, Zhang Dachuan, is only the deputy captain and is thinking about running for captain when the new leadership changes next year.

I appointed my son as a team leader because I wanted to give myself more voice and win over people.

Zhang Dachuan, the son, is quick-minded but lacks courage. Zhang Mancang, the grandson, is capable but is impulsive and emotional.

Zhang Quan'an usually worked hard on the father and son, hoping that the two of them could compete and get the position of party secretary or team leader, so as to earn face for the Zhang family.

Zhang Quan'an knew that his grandson liked a girl from the Zhao family. Zhao Xiaohe was handsome, had gone to school, and was a good girl. He also hoped that the two of them would get along well, but the girl fell in love with Xiao Xiangdong.

This time, he targeted Xiao Xiangdong's wife, probably for this reason.

Zhang Quan'an looked at his grandson, who was bowing his head like a quail, and finally couldn't help but remind him: "If you like that girl Xiao He, go for it. Now that the Xiao family kid is getting married, it's your chance. Don't make such detours in business." There is no need to ruin yourself by going around and around. Grandpa has been through this, and I think there is a saying that is right, a martyr girl is afraid of being entangled by a man, you can understand it yourself."

After that, he left with his hands behind his back.

After listening to this, Zhang Mancang felt as if he was suddenly guided by the gods. His depressed mood was swept away, and his eyes became firmer.

She couldn't help but despise her previous actions. He only provoked Meng Xiaoman because he had a trick in his head. With Xiao Xiangdong's crippled husband, she would definitely not have a good life. And with Meng Xiaoman's tigress-tempered wife, Xiao Xiangdong's life would also be miserable. It won't be easy.

Just let these two people torture each other, there is no need for him to take action at all!

Zhang Mancang was so proud of his wonderful discovery that he never targeted Meng Xiaoman again.

On the other side, Meng Xiaoman was ready to accept his grudge and revenge, but found that not only did he not move, but he also looked at her with a strange, pitiful look every time he was separated. On two occasions, I even assigned myself relatively easy tasks.

"Is there something wrong with this man's head? Why did he become so weird after I beat him up? Does he have masochism?" Meng Xiaoman wondered.

But it would be better for him not to cause trouble. He just wants to work hard and live quietly, but he doesn't want to fight with others every day.

When I returned home that day, Xiao Xiangdong was peeling off chicken feathers in the yard.

"Where did the chicken come from?"

Chickens are considered one of the most precious things in the house these days, especially old hens that can lay eggs. An egg can be sold for about five cents at a supply and marketing cooperative. Chickens cost about one yuan and two cents per catty. Most people are really reluctant to eat them, let alone cannot afford them. The Xiao family raised several chickens. The first thing Xiao's mother did when she got up every morning was to touch the chicken coop to see how many eggs had been laid. Sometimes when one of the eggs is missing, I can talk about it for a long time.

"It's a set on the back mountain."

"Did you do this? Do you still do these things?"

"Yes, I set the trap the day before yesterday. I trapped two hares and a pheasant. I asked Brother Sun to take the hares to the black market and help sell them. We will keep the chicken for our own consumption."

"Brother Sun?"

"The eldest son of Sun Orion next door is named Sun Ping. I remember telling you that their family was born as an Orion. Although hunting is no longer allowed, Brother Sun still occasionally goes into the mountains to get some things in exchange for some money. I asked him to help with the sales, and we can also earn more. You can’t just rely on yourself at home.”

Recently, Meng Xiaoman has been working every day and has lost weight. His chin is pointed and his face is pale, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

But just relying on bamboo weaving would bring in too little money and too slowly. Bamboo products are not scarce in this mountain, and many people can make them, but they cannot be sold at high prices in supply and marketing cooperatives.

With his weak legs, it was very difficult for him to go up the mountain. He had only set a few traps on the outside of the mountain before, so he didn't catch many prey. Tomorrow, he plans to set off early, stay in the mountains for a day, go deeper, and make more traps, so that he can also get more prey.

"How about you teach me how to do it and I'll do it?" Meng Xiaoman is very curious about hunting. The most important thing is that she is greedy for meat. If she learns how to do it, she can hunt more.

There were a few meat tickets at home, but she planned to save them for treats and Chinese New Year.

Also, Xiao Xiangdong worked so hard, which was very bad for his health. Meng Xiaoman didn't want him to collapse because of a few dollars.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you. However, if we go into the Shanbu trap together, it's too dangerous for you."

Meng Xiaoman promised again and again.

Xiao Xiangdong's trapping technique was first learned from his neighbor Sun Orion, but after all, this was a family skill, and he only learned a little bit about it.

But Xiao Xiangdong is very smart and has figured out many methods on his own. In addition, he later joined the army and often went to deep mountains and forests when going on missions, so his skills became even more refined.

Meng Xiaoman was curious and studious. Xiao Xiangdong saw that she really liked it, so he taught her everything he knew. When he encountered something she didn't understand clearly, he took a pen and paper to draw pictures for her and explained patiently.

During the explanation, the two were very close.

When Meng Xiaoman lowered his head, Xiao Xiangdong could see her long, black eyelashes. When she blinked, they flickered up and down, like two small brushes brushing across Xiao Xiangdong's heart, making him feel itchy. Stop, I can’t look anymore, Xiao Xiangdong said to himself in his heart, and his eyes were forced to move down. Well, her nose is also very delicate, very similar to the peaks he saw when he was on a mission in the south. It is tall and delicate, with smooth lines. . Moving down further, right below are the slightly pouty lips, which are red, plump, and look very soft...

As soon as Meng Xiaoman figured out the key, she looked up happily and met Xiao Xiangdong's dark and deep eyes.

On the surface, it is as calm as usual, but upon closer inspection, it looks like a deep pool with no bottom, making people want to pry into it, but are afraid of being sucked in.

Meng Xiaoman had never seen Xiao Xiangdong's eyes look like this before. She felt a little panicked and looked away unnaturally.

Putting down the pen in his hand, he touched his cheek with his hand: "What, what's wrong, is there something on my face?".

With this touch, the originally flawless face was stained with a trace of ink.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiangdong gave a low response and raised his hand to wipe her with his fingertips.

Xiao Xiangdong's voice was already deep, but this "um" was even more magnetic, with a bit of a man's peculiar hoarseness, which made Meng Xiaoman's ears go numb.

The friction between the rough fingertips and the delicate cheek gradually heated up and turned red in the contact area.

Xiao Xiangdong only wiped it twice and saw that the place where he started was red.

"The ink cannot be wiped off," he explained.

Her skin was too tender and her hands were too rough. Rubbing it again would hurt her, so she had to stop in frustration.

"Oh, really, I'm going to take a shower."

After Meng Xiaoman walked away, Xiao Xiangdong looked at his rough hands with disgust and dropped them weakly. It was just the remaining smoothness on his fingertips that made him couldn't help but rub it twice.
