The 1970s Little Village Girl [Through the Book]

13

He Chunsheng has a good reputation in the village and is quite popular.

But sometimes, some people would make fun of and ridicule He Fengjiao because her daughter is lazy and likes to eat.

However, He Fengjiao is the most beautiful girl in the area. Although some people make fun of her for being lazy, many young men still secretly like her.

Since last year, many people have come to propose marriage.

But He Fengjiao has not worked much since she was a child, and she can't stand hardships. After she grew up, she decided not to find a partner in the Zhuyuan production team, but to find someone who eats commercial grain.

That's fine. He Fengjiao not only chooses family background, but also looks. She wants to eat commercial grain and have a decent appearance.

So she rejected many people who came to ask for a kiss.

Li Hongmei and He Chunsheng doted on their little daughter from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't force He Fengjiao to do anything she didn't like.

If others were curious, they would just say it was inappropriate and pass it off.

Gradually, people started saying that He Fengjiao was not only lazy and greedy, but also arrogant and looked down on the peasants in the village.

At first, He Chunsheng would say a few words to help his daughter, but he couldn't stop people from gossiping behind her back.

Word spread quickly, and the news that He Fengjiao was greedy and lazy spread.

It was noon, the time for people to get off work. Many villagers passing by would call out to He Chunsheng, "Captain."

Seeing him turning over a sieve full of mushrooms, a woman called Aunt Zhao who lived near He Chunsheng asked curiously, "Captain, where did you get so many mushrooms?"

He Chunsheng said calmly, "My Fengjiao and Da Niu went up the mountain to pick them." But a smug smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Aunt Zhao was surprised when she heard this. She had almost watched He Fengjiao grow up, and this was the first time she heard that He Fengjiao had a big harvest when picking mushrooms in the mountains.

It's not that she didn't have a harvest before, but what she picked before was not enough for a meal, and she was often ridiculed by others behind her back.

Now the sieve is full of big mushrooms that have been broken open. They are so delicious!

If even He Fengjiao, who loves eating and cooking, can pick so many mushrooms, then her daughter-in-law must have picked many times more this morning.

Aunt Zhao couldn't hide the truth, so she said, "Hey, your Fengjiao can pick so many? It seems that there are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain after the rain last night. I have to go home and take a look. Maybe my old family has also picked a lot." Then she hurried home.

He Chunsheng ignored her and turned the mushrooms on the sieve by himself.

Before lunch, He Chunsheng was outside the yard fiddling with the mushrooms in the sieve. Whenever someone passed by, he would repeat to them, "My Fengjiao picked them."

He was so proud.

He Caixia had returned home, and He Ailian had already finished work.

She was scolded by He Chunsheng and Li Hongmei two days ago, and she was very upset. This morning, He Caixia said that she would not go to work and would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Thinking that she had eaten several meals of water spinach in the past few days, she saw her come back and asked, "Are you back? How many mushrooms did you pick?"
