Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Day 5

There was a drizzle in the sky, the spring was chilly, and the early spring chill penetrated into people's skin and bones.

It is definitely not the time to go to work in this kind of weather. Thinking that nothing unexpected would happen today, after breakfast, the three of us in the dormitory simply played poker.

Not even two rounds yet.

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as I heard the heavy knock on the door, I knew it was not Zhou Ru and her friends.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise. Li Muhua secretly thought that Ma Dehua was really a mean-spirited man who was seeking revenge - from morning to night.

Poker in hand, Li Muhua stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

"Captain Ma, do you have any plans in this weather today?"

Ma Decai, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, said in a cold voice: "Revolutionary production work cannot be slacked off for a single day. Even if it rains, there is still work to be done on rainy days."

"it is good!"

Li Muhua agreed, closed the fan in his hand and asked, "Captain Ma, what are we going to produce today?"

"We protect the embankment when it rains. If the embankment is washed away, can we still produce?" Ma Decai raised his voice.

Li Muhua looked at the drizzle outside in surprise. It was as fine as cow hair and covered the distant mountains like a veil of smoke. If it continued to rain like this, it was estimated that even if it rained for a whole year, there would be no need to worry about the dam being destroyed.

But if you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.

Seeing that Ma Decai wanted to make trouble, Li Muhua agreed smoothly: "Captain Ma, you are indeed a captain. Your idea of ​​focusing on agricultural production is high. It seems that we still have a lot to learn from you."

"This is a rainy day preparation, no—"

Li Muhua looked at the drizzle outside the door and sneered, "We should go to protect the dike in this downpour, otherwise the flood will break the dike."

"Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told to."

Ma Decai's face turned as dark as iron due to Li Muhua's ridicule. He turned around and knocked on the door opposite.

Li Muhua picked up the straw raincoat and hat hanging on the wall, put them on and chased after him, saying: "If we want to focus on revolutionary production, we should seize sunny days and cloudy days, treat drizzle as good days, and the moon as daytime. One sunny day is equivalent to two days. We should work hard when it rains lightly, work hard when it rains heavily, work hard when it rains hard, and work desperately when there is no rain."

After Li Muhua finished muttering beside Ma Decai, he asked, "Captain Ma, you won't give us special treatment and only give us the opportunity to perform, and not let other team members perform, right?"

"how come?"

Ma Decai gritted his teeth and said, "It's the same for everyone. Protecting the embankment is a big deal for our production team. Everyone in the village has to go!"

Hearing this answer, Li Muhua smiled and replied: "That's good!"

He was actually a little afraid that Ma Decai was deliberately trying to disgust him by only letting the six of them to dig mud. After hearing that the entire village had to go, Li Muhua felt much happier because at least someone was there to accompany them in their misfortunes.

Several people filed out and followed Ma Decai to the team entrance, rang the bell to assemble, and assigned tasks in turn.

It was not yet February, and there was still more than a month until the Waking of Insects - we had to dredge silt and repair dams to prevent flooding and dam breaches.

Everyone knew the same thing as Mingjing, that Ma Decai was looking for trouble to deal with Li Muhua and the others, and that they were all implicated and drafted into the army.

But he saw the truth but didn't say anything. Even if everyone had complaints against Li Muhua, Ma Decai still stood aside and no one dared to say that the dam should not be repaired at this time.

They all picked up their tools and lined up in a long queue, heading towards the riverbank.

When they reached the river bank, the team leader and the timekeeper counted the number of people present, and then gave an impassioned speech to encourage everyone. Under the leadership of Ma Decai, everyone went down to the river one by one, turned up the silt and piled it on the bank.

Several people were the same. In the drizzle, everyone worked hard. Turning the silt is hard work, but if they worked hard, they didn't feel how cold the weather was.

At noon, as Ma Decai struck the gong, everyone stopped, carried their tools back to the team headquarters, returned the tools, and went back.

He first scanned the area around them, and seeing that no one was following them, Hu Lai approached them and asked, "Old Li, we don't have many cans left. We can get by at noon, but we'll probably have to eat bran at night. Is the letter you asked me to send reliable?"

"If all else fails, let's go to the Youth League Office this afternoon. As long as you tell them your true colors, I don't believe they will not deal with Ma Decai and his gang of bastards."

Hu Lai's face turned a little blue due to the cold, but his eyes were as hot as fire. He looked at Li Muhua expectantly, hoping that he would agree with his idea.

Just do it to Ma Decai directly. Don't keep arguing with both sides and make these mortals suffer.

Seeing that he was impatient, Li Muhua secretly calculated the time. The letter had been sent for more than three days, and it should have reached Sijiu City by now.

Trying to find connections here at this time would be disadvantageous on both sides. He had already made instructions in the letter, asking the Sijiucheng Revolutionary Committee to directly contact the Yicheng Revolutionary Committee and ask them to cooperate with him in investigating the team headquarters. It would be possible to deal with Ma Decai and others without revealing his identity.

Li Muhua felt that it was not worth it to cause a big commotion at the Youth League Office.

Looking at Zhou Ru again, he saw hope in her eyes. Thinking about the freezing river water just now, Li Muhua didn't want to drag Zhou Ru into trouble because of his quarrel.

"Tomorrow, if the people from the Revolutionary Committee haven't arrived yet, I'll go find the Youth Office."

"It's okay for you to eat bran, Hu Lai, but if my Zhou Ru eats bran, I will be blamed and I will be heartbroken."

Hu Lai was already shivering from the cold, and when he heard Li Muhua's words, he almost got goosebumps all over his body and shook himself exaggeratedly.

"Look at what he said. What did he mean by saying that it's okay for me to eat bran but Zhou Ru can't? He's so sorry for him."

"Hey, we all know that you two have a good relationship, but there's no need to be so cheesy in front of us, right?"

After Hu Lai finished yelling at the others, he looked back at Zhou Ru and said:

"Comrade Zhou Ru, did you see that? I beg you to go back and taste the bran. It's not that I don't believe him, but I want to see what it means to die of heartache, so that I can learn something from it."

Zhou Ru's face turned red after being teased by Hu Lai. She punched Li Muhua in anger and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, in front of so many people!"

Before Li Muhua could open his mouth, Hu Lai screamed in surprise.

"Ho~"

"From what you said, he would have said this if we weren't here, right? Then when you two usually meet after dusk, you always say in private that we—"

Seeing that Zhou Ru was really going to find a hole in the ground to hide in because of Hu Lai's embarrassment, Li Muhua shouted, "Hu Lai, you want to see what it means to be heartbroken and die, right?"

"Come, I'll tell you now, and by the way, tell you what I usually say about you!" Li Muhua chased out shouting, vowing to teach Hu Lai a lesson.

Hu Lai is no longer the little fat boy he used to be. Now his legs are whizzing and he is running very fast.

The two of them chased each other, circling around and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing that Li Muhua had left, Dong Shuwan was still unwilling to let Zhou Ru go, and she also came up to ask: "Ru, what did you and your fiancé say about us? Did you always complain that we were a nuisance--"

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Ru walked away quickly, not wanting to be teased by Dong Shuwan.

Dong Shuwan pulled Han Lu and kept talking to her, "Well, you don't even dare to say anything. They must be saying bad things about us behind our backs..."

Everyone quickened their pace.
