Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The captain knew nothing about the farce in Tielihua's family. Not long after his wife was called away by his grandson, someone from the village came.

The people who came were the leaders of the commune. They were inspecting the villages on New Year's Day. The team leader was impressed by their work spirit. No wonder he couldn't be a cadre in the commune. It turned out that his work attitude was not as good as others.

He reflected on himself in his heart, then smiled and went to greet the leaders with the village cadres.

The commune director first asked about the situation in their village, and the team leader answered him in detail, especially thanking him for his previous strong support for their side business.

The commune director was very pleased with his tact.

The team leader wanted to invite him to his home for dinner, but the commune director refused. He walked to the door of a house and found that there were no Spring Festival couplets. What was going on? "Why didn't your village put up Spring Festival couplets this year?"

They are said to be living a good life. Could it be that these cadres have embezzled all the money? The commune director looked at the team leader with a suspicious look.

The team leader suddenly had an idea. He couldn't say that someone in the village tore down the couplets, because that would make their village look disunited. He rolled his eyes and said, "Director, a member of our team died in the heavy snow. He was our old comrade, but he couldn't accompany us on our last journey. Our whole village didn't put up couplets this year in his memory."

The commune director was slightly stunned, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect your village to be so united."

The captain felt a little guilty, thinking that he must secretly burn some paper for Lao Wang when he returned, so that he could live a good life in the underworld and not have so many unfilial sons in his next life.

The other brigade cadres did not expect that the brigade leader would use Lao Wang as an excuse in order not to expose his grandson. This was too much. But they could not deny the brigade leader's words. After all, their village was really united.

After seeing the leader off, Guoxiang pulled Tieniu and ran after him, panting, "Grandpa!"

The captain got angry when he saw his grandson, "Is your butt healed? Why are you running around instead of just lying down at home!"

Guoxiang urged Tieniu. Tieniu pulled up his half-wet pants and shivered with cold. After Guoxiang urged him, he pursed his lips and stepped forward to admit his mistake, "Captain, I tore the couplet. I'm sorry, everyone."

The brigade cadres exchanged glances, some with inquiring eyes, while others simply did not believe it...

Guoxiang didn't know what everyone was thinking, "Master! If you want to believe me, he really tore the couplet."

The captain stopped his grandson from continuing and looked at Tieniu, "Why did you tear up the couplet?"

Tie Niu stated his purpose hesitantly, and the cadres looked at each other in bewilderment.

The captain sighed, "Your child can be considered a blessing in disguise."

He signaled the brigade cadres to convene a meeting of all villagers. He first explained to everyone that the couplet was torn by Tie Niu, and he also told everyone Tie Niu's purpose in detail.

"The commune leaders came to inspect the village before and praised our commune, saying that I respect the prime minister and am a good member. We must continue to maintain this good atmosphere."

The members were talking about it a lot. Of course, they all admired the Prime Minister, but when they heard this, they just felt ashamed, because when they celebrated the New Year, they only thought about having a good life next year and didn't think about these things at all. They felt that they were not worthy of the praise from the commune director.

The matter was exposed. However, after the meeting, the captain still reminded Tieniu, "You were lucky this time, but it was wrong for you to tear up the couplet."

He thought about it and ordered Tie Niu to wipe the wooden doors of every house in the village with a rag.

The reason why they didn't fine them was because the Tie family was an orphan and a widow, and it was not easy for them to support themselves. If they were fined, it would make their already tight financial situation even worse.

When Tielihua learned about the captain's punishment, she took her son to clean the doors of every household.

Tie Niu's little hands were frozen stiff, but when he saw his mother's nose was red from the cold, he lowered his head in shame.

The villagers did not say anything bad to them, but just let them wipe it casually and there was no need to be serious about it.

But Tielihua was an honest person, and she still took her son to clean everyone's door thoroughly.

When they were wiping the door, small snowflakes were flying in the air, covering the ground with a layer of white.

The sound of firecrackers popped in the brigade headquarters, and the children ran to pick up the firecrackers in the wind and snow.

Youcai heard the sound of firecrackers, jumped out with a whoosh, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Even though he was very fast, the distance was too far. When he ran over, he didn't pick up anything and returned home dejected.

Youcai ran to Zhang Xiuhua and asked, "Aunt Zhang, why don't we buy firecrackers for the New Year?"

"No one in our village bought them. Only the team spent money to buy one for the occasion." Zhang Xiuhua didn't have any firecrackers in her space, so she was not happy to spend a high price on the black market to buy them. This thing is not something you can eat or drink, it just makes a noise, what's the point!

Ji Dong hooked his finger at Youcai, who reluctantly moved closer, "What's the matter?"

Jidong stuffed two dimes into his pocket and said, "This is a reward for helping me introduce business. If you have similar business in the future, remember to help me promote it, and I will share the profits with you."

Youcai opened his mouth in surprise, "Two cents? Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Of course!" Jidong saw that he didn't believe it, "You want it?"

Youcai quickly put the money into his pocket and said, "Of course not. I'm a little unaccustomed to you suddenly becoming so generous."

Jidong smiled without saying anything and was about to leave when Youcai suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

Jidong was puzzled.

Youcai secretly dragged him out of the house and stuffed the money in his hand into his hand. Thinking that this money might not be enough, he took out money from his pocket and stuffed all the New Year's money into his hand.

Jidong blinked, "Do you need my help with something?"

Youcai chuckled, "Jidong, I've always wanted to buy a fishing net and go to the river to catch fish. I'm good at catching fish, and you can eat the fish I catch. You're so smart, you can definitely help me do it, right?!"

"Fishing net?" Jidong looked at him as if he were a fool. "Aren't you afraid that your aunt will beat you? Wasn't the lesson last time enough?"

"Last time I skipped school to catch fish. Now it's winter vacation, and I only have two hours of make-up classes at night. The rest of the time I can do whatever I want. Aunt Zhang will definitely agree." Whenever Youcai thought of the meat last time, his mouth would water. He was worried that Aunt Zhang would deliberately cook meat dishes to tempt him again. He felt itchy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Jidong didn't believe it. "If you think so, why don't you go and tell your aunt directly?"

"I don't dare." Youcai felt a little guilty, "Aunt Zhang loves you the most, go and tell her."

Jidong put his hands behind his back, wanting to look down at this fool, but he was not tall enough, so he thought better of it, "Okay. I'll ask your aunt if she can get you a fishing net. And your money will be mine?"

Youcai nodded wildly, "Yes! It's yours!"

It's no use having money because he doesn't have a ticket.

Youcai looked at him expectantly with his round eyes.

Jidong puffed out his chest proudly, "Okay! You wait."

Youcai watched Jidong carry the book into the house, and he followed secretly behind him. He wanted to hear how Jidong convinced Aunt Zhang, and he wanted to learn from him in the future.
