Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 7 Public
Meng Tao walked quickly along the village road and went to a rural primary school five or six miles away.

The literacy classes run by the brigade are located here. For illiterate housewives and out-of-school people, of course other people who want to learn more cultural knowledge can also come. In the evening, there are two classes every night. Young people graduating from high school become teachers.

In the past, Meng Taohua wanted to write a letter to Tian Zhigao and also wanted to learn about culture. She sneaked here a few times, but every time she was chased by Wang Shuifeng and told her to go back to burn the bath water and rub the hemp rope. Being ridiculed, he slipped away.

Meng Tao walked to the classroom where the lights were on. There were more than 30 people sitting in it, including men and women. Everyone brought their own kerosene lamps. A bright horse lantern was hung in front of the blackboard. A tall male educated youth was giving a lecture.

Meng Tao leaned closer to the window to watch, and suddenly someone patted her from behind, startling her. As soon as she turned around, she was grabbed tightly by someone. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Zhou Daya, and Meng Tao agreed: It was her who was looking for.

Zhou Daya's name is Zhou Cuiling, a junior high school educated. Her father, Zhou Shian, was originally the director of the Linshui Brigade. He was transferred to a commune two years ago. She is the envy of all girls, and she lives comfortably and comfortably, so Tian Yalan is particularly jealous and jealous of her.

But Zhou Cuiling, although arrogant, is a good young man who pursues progress and is willing to help others. She works in the grain station during the day and comes to the literacy class at night. She is both a student and a counselor, eager to help the sisters in the village to read, not like Tian Yalan. In that way, you don't do business all day, and you play conspiracy and figure out how to harm people.

Zhou Cuiling also tried to approach Meng Taohua many times, but Meng Taohua avoided it. She didn't know what she thought, perhaps because of her low self-esteem.

The Zhou Cuiling in the novel did not have a happy ending. A few years later, she died of a flood in the Linshui River. Zhang Guoqing came back without seeing anyone, and cried heartbroken on the rocky beach by the river. There was no news of him later. Zhou Shian and his wife suddenly aged ten years, and they moved their home soon after.

Zhou Cuiling has a fleshy bun face, also called baby fat, with delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she deliberately puffed out her cheeks, stared at Meng Tao and said, "If you want to study, go in and sit down and listen to the class carefully, so that you can learn while standing outside. what?"

Meng Tao pulled out a smile: "I just came to see."

"What about after reading it? Waiting for the old lady to come and pull you back to boil water and twist the hemp rope? Meng Taohua, can you make a little more? You can live without the Tian family, why are you afraid of them? Go in quickly and learn knowledge. your own!"

Zhou Cuiling said and dragged Meng Tao into the classroom, turning her head to look at the school gate: "The old lady dares to chase after me, I will help you to block it, why does she stop you from learning culture again and again? Let's go to the brigade and sue her!"

Meng Tao followed Zhou Cuiling to her seat and sat down. Zhou Cuiling moved the kerosene lamp towards Meng Tao, took out a work diary with a kraft paper cover and a sharpened pencil, and gave it to Meng Tao, whispering. : "This book is new. I gave it to you. Write your name. I know you will. Now listen to the teacher's lecture carefully, and we will talk after class."

Meng Tao took the notebook and pen, and carefully wrote "Meng Taohua" on the cover of the book, stroke by stroke. She tried her best to imitate the brushwork of elementary school students, thinking about twisting it a bit, but she couldn't. After the three words were formed, Still very standard.

Zhou Cuiling glanced at her and smiled admiringly at her.

Most of the people who can come to the literacy class to listen to the class really want to learn culture and gain their knowledge, so they listen very carefully. Soon after the first get out of class is over, many people raise their hands to ask the teacher questions and ask for answers.

Zhou Cuiling and Meng Tao whispered.

"You look good in writing. You have to come early tomorrow night, don't be afraid. Huh? The old lady of the Tian family didn't come to chase you tonight. I'm still ready to have a fight with her." Zhou Cuiling said.

Meng Tao lowered her eyes: "Tonight there is meat to eat at home, and the big-headed cousin in the mountains sent two pheasants, but there are also many guests, big-headed cousin, eldest sister and brother-in-law, Zhiyuan's girlfriend, Yalan brought When Zhou Cuilian came, my mother was afraid that I wouldn't have enough food, so she asked me to come out to play and go back later in the evening."

Zhou Cuiling was indignant: "How can this be? If you have meat to eat, you will be driven out, aren't you a member of their family? I said Taohua, what do you want to do with their family? Tian Xianglan lives in your yard, but you instead join the Tian family as a long-term worker. , work day and night, look what you have become like?"

Meng Tao shook her head: "I don't know either, and I don't understand it now. So I want to come to the literacy class to learn a few more characters and write a letter to Zhigao in the future. Zhigao sends letters to his parents and several younger siblings. Send money, but don't send it to me. Today, I helped to clean the upstairs of Lao Liu Lao Qi, and I picked up a few letters. I can also recognize Braille, but the words on it are a bit sloppy, and I can't see it clearly. Daya, you are highly literate, please help me to see, did you ask me in the letter?"

Zhou Cuiling took the three letters that Meng Tao handed over, and while pulling out the letter paper, she said, "I'll read it first, and then read it to you."

Unexpectedly, just after reading the first letter, her little face tensed up and her expression became very ugly. After quickly reading the three letters, she slapped the table angrily: "It's so bullying!"

Of course Meng Tao knew what was in the letter, but now she wanted to pretend she didn't understand and asked in a feigned surprise, "What's the matter? What's written on it?"

Zhou Cuiling: "Peach Blossom, you fool! You worked so hard to help others honor their parents and help their younger siblings go to school, but they have long since abandoned you and married another city girl, do you know that?"

Meng Tao opened her eyes wide in shock, shut her mouth and shook her head, her expression innocent and pitiful.

Zhou Cuiling flushed with anger, shaking the stationery, and shouting loudly: "Look at the date, this is from April this year, this is from May of last year, and this one is from the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before! The letter mentioned the 'third sister-in-law' in the city, Tian Zhigao, the despicable villain, he has long since empathized and betrayed you, but the Tian family knew all about it, so they deliberately kept it from you! Four years, you Men never go home and don't give you a letter, you can even hold back, Meng Taohua, you are a wooden man!"

Meng Tao: "..."

That's right, Meng Taohua is a wooden man.

There was too much movement here, and other people in the literacy class gathered around and asked what was going on. Zhou Cuiling simply read Tian Zhigao's three letters publicly. Everyone was shocked and angry, especially the women, who were very angry with Chen Shimei. That was the same hatred of the enemy, and they all condemned Tian Zhigao for being ruthless and morally corrupt.

As a weak person, Meng Tao doesn't need to make a sound, just accept sympathy with red eyes.

Zhou Cuiling said to Meng Tao, "Come home with me tonight, my dad is back from the commune, he will take care of this matter. Back then when Tian Zhigao got married to you, you were young and didn't make any excuses, it was my dad and the others who were married to you. The evidence given by the villagers, Tian Zhigao got the benefits of your Meng family, and secretly got married outside, the Tian family helped to hide it, and here they insisted on you, what do you mean? They want to give an explanation!"

Meng Tao nodded, expressing to obey her suggestion.
