Chapter 153 Uncle Tiezhu Becomes Famous in One Battle

At this time, the village had just finished the busy farming season. Corn and rice seedlings had been planted, and the remaining sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables did not require so many people. After lunch, Zhou Laifu arranged for most of the people to build pig pens, sheep pens and cow sheds.

Those who were not working also gathered around and lent a hand from time to time. In two days, they built a large pigpen that could raise hundreds of pigs. Looking at the piglets running happily in the pigpen, tears of happiness flowed from the corners of the team members' mouths, and each of them was calculating how much meat each family would get at the end of the year.

The cowshed and sheep pen next to it are not that big, but they have been reinforced and repaired, and two people were specially hired to go up the mountain to graze the cattle and sheep.

Five of the educated youths in the new educated youth site were sent back, and the remaining ones were assigned to other brigades. The new educated youth site was vacant, and the transferred personnel who originally lived in the cowshed and Bai Xianglin, the grandson of the landlord Bai, moved in. There were eight people in total, and the space was quite spacious.

These days, Hua Rendong, Xia Yu and the transferred personnel met each other frequently and became familiar with each other. Especially the old lady, who hid when she saw Hua Rendong at first, but later she was tempted by the food made by Xia Yu, and when it was time to eat, she would pull her grandson Xiao Gazi to stand at the door and look over here.

Every time Xia Yu cooked, there would be a large bowl of rice left over, so the old lady would take it home and add some wild vegetables to make porridge, which could actually fill the stomachs of eight people. With a house that could shelter them from the wind and rain and barely fill their stomachs, within two days, these people looked much better.

However, those people might have been afraid that their identities would implicate Hua Rendong and Xia Yu, so they did not even say hello when they met at the educated youth center, and at most they just nodded from a distance.

Cheng Yan in the clinic kept complaining of a headache, so she had to be sent to the city hospital. They couldn't find anything wrong with her, but she looked crazy, often muttering to herself things like "impossible", "shouldn't", and "how could it be".

For fear of taking responsibility in case something happened, Zhou Lai Fu did not dare to let her go back to Taohuawan Brigade, and directly approved a report for her to return to the city due to injury.

Cheng Yan took the report and without saying a word, packed up her things at the educated youth site and left.

Chen Yue, the only female educated youth left at the educated youth point, came back after she recovered from her injury. She was stunned when she found that all the educated youth at the point were gone. She felt emotional when she learned that some were sent away, some were sent away, and some returned to the city due to their injuries. But without those annoying people, the air seemed fresher.

The movement of the Taohuawan Brigade attracted the jealousy of several neighboring brigades. Xu Tiezhu was the first to run over to see it. He circled the pig pen several times, saying to himself, "Great! Great! Great!"

Seeing his envious look, Zhou Laifu was so proud, "Don't be envious, we have someone in the court to help us get things done. If it weren't for Erhua girl, our pig farm wouldn't be so easy to run."

Xu Tiezhu's eyes lit up when he heard that and he ran towards the peach forest on the mountain. He had heard from others that Hua Erhua had been watching the peach forest on the mountain for the past few days.

We are all doing the same practical work, why do we only take care of Taohuawan Brigade? Why not take care of Xingzigou Brigade?

Come to think of it, didn’t Erhua also call him uncle?

Zhou Lai Fu failed to stop anyone. Seeing Xu Tiezhu running up the mountain, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong and followed Xu Tiezhu up the mountain.

Honeysuckle is looking at strawberries under the peach tree. The strawberries on the ground are all in bloom, and many of the fallen flowers have also borne fruit. It won’t be long before we can eat the strawberries from the ground.

Although these strawberries might not taste as good as the ones in her space, they are the hope of the team members and cannot be harmed by insects and small animals on the mountain.

In addition to the honeysuckle, there are also many villagers guarding this peach orchard.

Zhou Laifu didn't catch up with Xu Tiezhu. Seeing that Xu Tiezhu was about to run to Hua Rendong, he suddenly had an idea and shouted to the team members in the peach forest: "Stop him, don't let him get close to Erhua."

At the captain's command, the team members didn't care whether the person they wanted to stop was the captain of another brigade or not, they just gathered around and held Xu Tiezhu down.

Xu Tiezhu was just happy to see Hua Rendong, but before he could even open his mouth, he was held down by the members of the Taohuawan Brigade as if he were a bad guy. He was so angry that he yelled at Zhou Laifu who was rushing over from behind, "Are you playing dirty tricks on me, you old bastard? Let me go!"

Zhou Laifu ran to his side, laughing happily, "Run, run again!"

Xu Tiezhu ignored him and shouted to Hua Rendong outside the crowd: "Erhua, uncle is here to see you."

Hua Jindong was picking strawberries from the vines. Seeing someone being held down over here, she thought it was a bad guy. When she heard Xu Tiezhu's voice, she quickly pushed through the crowd, "What are you doing? Let him go."

The person next to him laughed helplessly, "The captain ordered them to be arrested."

Hua Rendong looked at Zhou Laifu, who was standing next to him with his hands on his hips, and said, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Zhou Laifu waved his hands and said, "Alright, let go, I was just teasing him."

The team members were all very upset, thinking: Is this how you joke around? If you weren't the team leader, I would have joked with you today.

Xu Tiezhu shook off his messed clothes, glared at Zhou Laifu, and smiled at Hua Rendong, "Erhua, how is uncle treating you?"

Generally speaking, someone who speaks like this will definitely ask for something from someone. Hua Rendong couldn't help but be on guard, "Uncle, you should tell me what you want to do first, and then I'll think about how you treat me."

Xu Tiezhu glared at Hua Rendong, rubbed his hands with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle just wants you to help him get some piglets. We are all from the same commune. You can't just lead the Taohuawan Brigade to live a good life and ignore the Xingzigou Brigade, right?"

Hua Rendong smiled helplessly, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this is not my business. I'm helping Taohuawan Brigade, but that's helping my own brigade. If I interfere in the affairs of Xingzigou Brigade, I'm afraid the commune leaders will have opinions about me."

"No problem!" Xu Tiezhu assured immediately, "If any leader dares to have a problem with you, Erhua, I will sit at the gate of the commune every day to appeal for your justice."

Hua Rendong remembered how Uncle Xu Tiezhu became the captain of the Xingzigou Brigade. Compared with the Taohuawan Brigade which had several captains over the years, the captain of the Xingzigou Brigade has been Uncle Tiezhu since the day it was established, and he was elected by all the team members.

The reason was that before liberation, when Uncle Tiezhu was only a teenager, his family's land was adjacent to that of a white landlord, and the white landlord occupied one ridge of his land every year. In just a few years, he lost half an acre of land.

Uncle Tiezhu's parents were afraid of trouble, but Uncle Tiezhu, who was only a teenager, went to the doorstep of the Bai landlord with a bag of dry food and a gourd of water to appeal for justice. He shouted at the doorstep of the Bai landlord for three days, making the Bai landlord's family restless day and night. Finally, the Bai landlord's family had to return the land to Uncle Tiezhu's family.

Uncle Tiezhu became famous in one battle. Later, when the brigade was established, Uncle Tiezhu was elected by the team members to be the brigade leader, and he served in the position for more than ten years.
