There are no lights in the countryside, and the villagers are reluctant to light kerosene lamps. They usually go to bed not long after eating.
Liao Feihong returned to the woodshed where he slept, and his mind kept thinking of He Wenbin's happy smile when he got two dollars from Luo Genwen, and chatting and laughing with Captain Luo, Hao Feng, and Xie Shuting.
picture.
He was not happy at all for his friend's happiness, and was only filled with jealousy in his heart.
"Hey, Liao Feihong," two other educated youths living in the same room noticed that Liao Feihong was not asleep. They rarely took the initiative to talk to him and asked, "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about giving out money?"
Don’t think about it…”
"Yes, Lao Pan and I were unlucky enough to be assigned to this small village. What do you think happened to you?"
The name of the boy who spoke was Zhang Lang. Several other educated youths in the same school called him a cockroach. He was thin, with a long and pointed face, small eyes, and the distance between his eyes was a bit wide. At first glance, he looked like a cockroach.
Somewhat similar.
Liao Feihong didn't want to mention this matter, so he said casually: "I can't get along with the people in the village."
Zhang Lang asked curiously: "Most of the distribution of educated youth is based on schools. Generally, people in the same class will be grouped together, just to make sure that everyone will not be too lonely. You should also go to the countryside with your classmates, right? Why?
Can’t get along with each other?”
Another boy named Pan Zicong suddenly became interested, "Did something happen? Tell me."
"Yeah, tell me. It's rare that I don't have much work tomorrow. I don't have to start work at six o'clock. It's boring to go to bed so early. Why don't you tell us about it? Just think of it as a story."
Zhang Lang propped one elbow on the quilt and bumped into Liao Feihong with the other hand.
Feeling that this was a good opportunity to deepen the relationship, Liao Feihong hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"Of course it's true, don't be so pretentious, just tell me..."
"Then let's talk about it first. I will only tell you about this, and you can't tell anyone else."
Hearing what he said, Zhang Lang and Pan Zicong became even more curious. They nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I promise not to tell."
"Okay, let me start talking," Liao Feihong looked at the dark ceiling above his head and said slowly, "There is a family named Su in Luohu Village. They are a group of people who went to the countryside earlier than us. They were originally from Jinghai City.
From a machinery factory, I was also the factory director..."
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, pretending to hold back his anger, and continued: "That family is very rich, and the whole village is fawning over them. Not only do they give them the pigs of the production team, but they also let their family
Raise chickens, ducks, and dogs.
Their family raised these things and not only ate them themselves, but also sold them in the market. The captain of the production team didn't care about them. The sons of the Su family were obviously educated youths, but none of them wanted to work in the production team.
They do the most leisurely work, but they make the most money and enjoy good food and drink all day long.”
After embellishing the situation for a while, he talked about Su Wenian's incident again, and finally said: "I just couldn't stand it, so I couldn't help but write a letter of complaint to the town, hoping that everyone would be fair. Unexpectedly, the director of the town also
Have friendship with the Su family.
Not only did he not punish the Su family, he also scolded me in public. What’s even more ridiculous is that he casually let the Su family’s son go to work in the town..."
Before Liao Feihong finished speaking, Zhang Lang and Pan Zicong both looked angry, "Is there such a thing?"
"We went on strike to uncover these harmful behaviors. I didn't expect that such abominable things are not only prevalent in cities, but also in rural areas. No! We must find a way to expose..."
Before Pan Zicong could finish speaking, Liao Feihong said in a helpless tone: "We people have left our own city and been dispersed. We are already weak, and now we are even more dependent on others. What can we do?"
"Did you just give up like that?" Zhang Lang sat up and geared up, "I feel that exposing this road will not work, and I can't do nothing. At least I have to teach those people in the Su family a lesson, and I can't let them continue to be so arrogant.
.”
"What do you want to do, cockroach?" Pan Zicong asked, "You don't want to show off your special skills again, do you? It will be a disaster if you are caught."
"I'm defending justice!" Zhang Lang raised a confident smile and said, "Then the Su family just relies on their dirty money, knowing many people, and strong connections? For me, this kind of
People deserve to be stolen!
Besides, with my quick skills, how could I possibly be caught?"
Pan Zicong lowered his voice and said: "Cockroach's father and grandfather were both thieves. They taught him how to be a thief. He is very good. Last time we went to the market, he easily stole money from a fellow villager selling chickens."
Originally we thought it was only a dozen yuan, but we didn't expect it was more than 20 yuan, which made us extremely happy."
When he said this, Zhang Lang showed a proud look on his face and said to Liao Feihong: "From today on, as long as you call me big brother, I will accept you as my little brother, and you will also share in the things I steal from now on.
how is everything?"
Liao Feihong never thought that this group of people would do such a thing before, stealing money from fellow villagers selling chickens...
"What are you doing? Why are you so stunned?" Zhang Lang asked, "You don't want to be my little brother?"
"Ah? This... is not, I just..."
"I know what you are thinking. You look down on thieves, right? Why are you pretending to be noble? I tell you, only by hanging out with thieves can you be successful. We brothers have gone to the market and eaten beef offal soup several times. You
Have you eaten?”
Zhang Lang described the taste of beef offal soup, "It's so addictive after eating it once. It tastes so fragrant."
Liao Feihong had been eating sweet potatoes for so many days, and his mouth had long faded away. Now when he heard him mention beef offal soup, his mouth kept secreting saliva, and he couldn't help but said: "Brother, big brother, next time I go to the market,
Can you take me to have a long experience?"
"Hahahaha, okay! Seeing that you still have some backbone and dare to fight against the evil forces, I will accept you as my little brother!" Zhang Lang said, standing up, "Let's eat chicken tonight! You
Do you want a chicken butt or a chicken head?”
Liao Feihong didn't understand and looked at him doubtfully, "Chicken? Are there chickens there?"
"The Su family in Luohu Village, didn't you say that they raised a bunch of chickens and ducks? Let's go and take a look." At this point, Zhang Lang swallowed his saliva, "By the way, you just said that the Su family also raised dogs.
Right? This dog meat is very fragrant!"
"The Su family has a dog. I remember they called it 'Rou Bao', but I'm a little worried that the dog will bark..."
Zhang Lang chuckled lightly, "What did Lao Pan just tell you? I am a professional in this sneaky thing!"
He lit the kerosene lamp in the corner with a match. He took out a cloth bag under his pillow, took out a small white pill, and asked Liao Feihong, "Brother, I want you to see something good. Do you know what this is?"
?”
Liao Feihong shook his head, "What is this?"
"This pill is called a sleeping pill. A person can sleep for a day after taking one pill, and a pig can sleep for at least half a day after taking one pill. We stuff it into a sweet potato and throw it to the dog to make sure that the dog falls asleep after eating it and doesn't notice anything.
.
When it falls asleep, we will take it away, steal two more chickens, and we brothers will have a good meal."
