Chapter 33 Unlucky
Wei Mingchuan didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either. Lin Nianyin figured out what he meant.
Since it involves such a deep matter, it is not something that Lin Nianyin can interfere with right now, so she only thinks a little about it.
After all, even if she thought about it, it wouldn't be helpful.
But Lin Nianyin didn't expect that she had just conducted a survey yesterday, and the results came out today.
Liang Meijuan was severely criticized by the army on public notice, and even her husband Yan Jianguo was unlucky and was given a lecture by the leadership.
Early in the morning, Lin Nianyin did not expect that Liang Meijuan would dare to come to her door and ask Lin Nianyin why she complained.
Lin Nianyin had Xiao Qi beside her, and the child slept in the house. She was not worried about hurting the child.
But she still closed the bedroom door and looked at Liang Meijuan.
Lin Nianyin said: "Don't you know why I am like this?"
Liang Meijuan pointed at Lin Nianyin and shouted, "What did I do? I just accidentally pulled you yesterday. Do you need to be so fussy about it? You also wrote a report letter to the army. Why are you so evil-minded!"
It was early morning, and none of the neighbors went out.
There was a commotion here, and Liang Meijuan came without any cover. Everyone knew what was reported, so many people came out to watch the fun.
However, because the criticism notice the army gave did not specify the reason, probably to save face, it only vaguely said there was no unity and friendly neighborliness. As a result, many people couldn't help but frown after hearing what Liang Meijuan said, and then they started Staring at Lin Nianyin with an extraordinary look.
He was probably trying to figure out why Lin Nianyin was so wrong!
And reporting has always been a relatively sensitive word.
Lin Nianyin raised her eyebrows and said, "Fortunately, nothing happened to my daughter yesterday. Otherwise, I would have locked down the door of your house yesterday, and you wouldn't have had the chance to come over and jump around now."
After a pause, she sneered and said: "Also, am I reporting you because you dragged me yesterday or because you are so ungrateful, slandering active-duty soldiers and their family members and attacking me for no reason? I just reported you; didn't you get the points?"
"I..." Liang Meijuan was speechless. She felt trembling when she thought of the cold-faced officers who came to investigate yesterday.
Not to mention, Yan Jianguo had a quarrel with her after returning home yesterday.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Liang Meijuan stared at Lin Nianyin and said fiercely: "What's wrong? You don't allow others to say what your man did, right? I'm not the only one who said it, so why do you target me alone?"
Lin Nianyin imitated Liang Meijuan's tone, "Why are you targeting me all day long, and why am I targeting you."
"If you don't come to me to pick a fight, will I waste this time targeting you? And..." Lin Nianyin suddenly sneered, "If you have the guts, tell me openly what our Wei Mingchuan has done. I want to see what he did to make you so ignorant and dare to slander him now!"
"I……"
Liang Meijuan is not the kind of shrew in the countryside. She grew up in the city. She may not have good prospects, gossips a lot, and is very annoying, but she is not a shrew, her education level is average, and she cannot be reasonable. Lin Nianyin didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I...I..." Liang Meijuan stuttered for a while, "I... I'm not the only one who said it; everyone said it!"
Lin Nianyin raised her chin, "Now that everyone is here, why don't I see any big guy gossiping about our family, Wei Mingchuan, in front of me all day long, slandering Wei Mingchuan's unclean style? How about you help me?" Let me ask, which big guy said this, and I'm curious?"
"I..." Seeing that Liang Meijuan could not speak to Lin Nianyin, she began to look around for help.
This is clear enough.
The only thing that can be related to Wei Mingchuan's style is Liao Tingting's pursuit.
There were indeed a lot of people murmuring in private. When they thought about it, they suddenly knew what Lin Nianyin had done.
But at first glance, Liang Meijuan was in bad luck because of this incident. Although those people didn't care in their hearts and even felt that Lin Nianyin had gone too far, they did not dare to help at this time for fear that Lin Nianyin would also send a letter of report to them in the family area.
It will only be very uncomfortable then.
Liang Meijuan looked for a long time but couldn't find anyone to help. She was angry and anxious and even cried for a while.
Lin Nianyin sneered, "Why, now I know I was wronged. Some time ago, you acted weird in front of me daily. You laughed at me and said that I would be kicked out soon. Why were you so proud when you said that our Wei Mingchuan and the lesbians in the art troupe were not clear? !"
"Thankfully, you are still a military wife, and your husband is also an active soldier. Do you know that if you spread such words wantonly, you are slandering them? Our family and Wei Mingchuan's future will improve if you are careful. Then, should I suspect that you did it on purpose? By spreading these rumors, you want to make it difficult for our Wei Mingchuan to stay in the army!"
"I...I...I didn't!" Liang Meijuan shouted, her face turned red with anxiety, "I never thought about it like that!"
Lin Nianyin said calmly: "How can I know what you are thinking in your heart? You and I are not familiar with each other, and we have only met once before, but you troubled me repeatedly. Do you think I would believe you if you slander Wei Mingchuan and say you have no ulterior motives?"
"I...I...I didn't anyway."
Lin Nianyin decided to teach Liang Meijuan a lesson and said, "Only you know, I am not the roundworm in your belly to know what you're thinking. But, Liang Meijuan, please remember, I am not your mother and will not tolerate it." You have jumped up and down in front of me again and again. This time, I stated the facts and did not use some ideological and political reasons to doubt your purpose and ulterior motives or attack your identity. You should be satisfied. "
Liang Meijuan didn't quite understand, "What...what do you mean?"
"You are really ugly and talk a lot. You are so stupid!" Aunt Yang stood at the door and listened for a long time. When she saw this, she said: "Thanks to you, you still act like you are so powerful all the time. There is nothing you don't know about the family's problems. , now you can't even understand what Xiao Lin is saying, and you still dare to come over and make trouble; where did you get such a big face!"
Aunt Yang's fighting ability is even higher than Lin Nianyin's, and her identity is there. Liang Meijuan is also a bully and shy of the strong.
She had always thought that Lin Nianyin was easy to bully, so she dared to keep provoking her. Now that she was at a disadvantage with Lin Nianyin, she didn't dare to refute her when Aunt Yang started teaching her a lesson.
He cried again with his mouth closed.
What Aunt Yang couldn't stand the most was Liang Meijuan's behavior. She couldn't help but say: "Cry, cry, cry, what's the use of pretending to be wronged here now? Why don't you think about the consequences of your nonsense all day long when you don't talk about virtue? I don't want to think about the impact if Xiaolin really believed what you said and Xiaowei had a fight? Why don't you think about whether what you said will hurt others? Apart from crying afterward, what else will you do!"
"I haven't heard you say an apology until now!"
Aunt Yang cursed loudly, which made Liang Meijuan stunned. She stood there with her head lowered, not daring to make a sound at all, and could only sob quietly.
Aunt Yang continued: "I just heard you say you pulled Xiao Lin lightly yesterday. Did you call that a gentle pull? She was pushing the child. Why didn't you think about the child rolling over when you went up to pull her? What should I do if I fall down and have an accident? Can you afford to pay for it then?"
Liang Meijuan didn't dare to refute and muttered: "I didn't mean it."
"You didn't mean it and don't want to think about what you said yesterday. You said it's okay, it's just a girl. What's the point of being nervous? If you fall, fall. You are not a woman, and you are not born to your mother, Right!" Aunt Yang sneered.
Liang Meijuan opened her mouth, "...I never said that."
"You mean that I, an old woman, fooled others here and gave you a shit basin at the same time!" Aunt Yang was short-tempered and even more insulted by Liang Meijuan, so she immediately said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that Xiao Lin was with Fang Wanying yesterday. Together, what you said and did, not only you and Xiaolin know, Fang Wanying can also see it clearly; why do you want me to find her back and confront you!"
Liang Meijuan suddenly didn't dare to say anything.
"Look at your worthless appearance. Not only did you not apologize for doing something wrong, but you dared to come over and make trouble. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to go out!" Aunt Yang said, "You think you are embarrassing Xiao Lin by coming over to make trouble?" you are embarrassing yourself and your Yan Jianjun's face!"
"I really can't understand you. It would be best to have a clearer mind and like to find things. At this time, it's better to go back and make clothes for your child than now!"
Aunt Yang's fighting ability is powerful. Liang Meijuan felt stupid after being scolded.
Seeing that the excitement was unpleasant and there was nothing else, the others dispersed.
Liang Meijuan felt like she was being pointed out along the way. It wasn't until she got home that she started tapping her feet non-stop.
She felt that she was so wrong!
But she didn't understand what she had done wrong?
Aren't you just gossiping like everyone else?
Why was everyone chasing after her? She was not the only one gossiping about Wei Mingchuan in the family area. Why was she the only one bullying her?
The more Liang Meijuan thought about it, the angrier she became, but she remembered what happened just now and didn't dare to look for it again. She could only sulk at home and beat her.
But what she didn't know was that there were things that made her even more depressed and irritable at night.
Of course, those are things to talk about later.
After Lin Nianyin had a scene, the aftermath gradually spread to various parts of the family area.
People who initially had no impression of her and didn't even know that such a person existed have now learned that a new military wife is in their family area. She is so powerful that she will write a report letter to you if you disagree with her.
In this regard, Lin Nianyin could only say that she should. Anyway, she was not interested in participating in the pointing and gossiping of her neighbors all day long.
Not long after, Principal Fang came over.
This time, she came not only with Cen Wangsu but also with several older women.
When Aunt Yang saw this, she didn't care that she and Principal Fang always had a few words and didn't like each other, so she hurried over.
Principal Fang introduced Lin Nianyin to several people who were present individually. They were all those who either had serious jobs or were members of their families who had a relatively high position in the army and had been with the military for a long time.
Lin Nianyin took a brief look around, and they all seemed kind and caring.
After getting to know each other a little, Principal Fang took the lead in discussing the issue of civility and discipline in the family area.
After Principal Fang said that, Lin Nianyin briefly elaborated on her point of view.
Then, several women discussed it in the room for a long time and finally decided to set up a union-like place in the family area to supervise and manage this matter. Each month, a list of people will be listed based on their performance in that month. Ranking list and corresponding encouragement.
As for the specific rewards, everyone here volunteered to contribute part of them.
As for punishment, posting a big-character poster and publicizing it is already punishment.
By the way, we also advocate personal quality education and spiritual civilization education so that everyone can learn and strive to improve themselves and become more helpful to society and the country.
Lin Nianyin said: "I would rather suggest changing from advocating everyone's learning to requiring everyone to learn, just like the literacy classes in rural production teams. We first educate everyone about literacy, then improve everyone's quality education bit by bit."
Principal Fang frowned and said, "It's not like we haven't thought about this before, and we have even taken the initiative to mention and encourage everyone to learn. However, the results have not been great so far. I think it will be difficult to implement it."
Lin Nianyin said: "The main reason it is difficult to achieve is that the temptation is not big enough. As long as we have enough chips, we are not afraid of them not taking the initiative."
Principal Fang said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
This is not a production team; members cannot be threatened or rewarded with life-saving work points. However, since Lin Nianyin mentioned this matter initially, she naturally thought of a solution.
Lin Nianyin said: "Our family area is so large, even larger than some people's communes, and has a large population, but there is no way to provide jobs and corresponding land to the many military family members who came with the army. This has led to many people's daily life. They all have nothing to do, right."
"That's one reason." Principal Fang nodded, "But more importantly, they don't have the ambition. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have been dragged on until now."
Lin Nianyin said: "What if we can provide them with jobs from now on?"
Principal Fang said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Lin Nianyin said: "The simplest thing is something we will definitely use in our daily lives - soap."
Lin Nianyin pointed to the clothes in front of her house and said: "We can apply to open a soap factory in the family area and select educated and high-quality comrades from the family members of the army to work, and there will be some competitions and competitions every month. Assessment, survival of the fittest, naturally those who are good will want to be good even more, and those below will learn to make progress for the sake of work."
"Establishing a factory?" There was a silence in the air. It was obvious that these people were considering the feasibility of this issue.
Lin Nianyin said: "I know how to make soap. It is nothing more than a straightforward reaction formula. It is straightforward to learn and use. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the safety issues during the production process. The benefits of this are not only to provide The work is so simple, it can be regarded as solving part of our production needs, and it can even be provided to the army. We don't need to find another market. The huge monthly consumption of the army alone is enough to support our business."
"And we have our own venue, which means we can profit. We don't need to pay for so-called rewards out of our own pockets. The rewards are directly linked to everyone's workability and civilized ethics, and different rewards are given at different levels. That's enough to make everyone tempted. In addition, if this matter can be successful, we can also handle other factories in the future, such as raising pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese, which can be circulated within us." Lin Nianyin is too talkative. Said something.
This step is a bit big, but it is beautiful.
But this matter is not something they can decide now, so after thinking about it for a while, they went back.
Principal Fang and Aunt Yang stayed.
Aunt Yang was impatient and immediately asked: "Xiao Lin, you are really sure about that...that soap factory you mentioned. Will you still do this?"
Lin Nianyin nodded, "How to make soap is straightforward. It only requires alkali and oil. I can make it for you."
Aunt Yang said: "Okay, I didn't know you were so capable and could make soap. If this happens, we will no longer have to worry about buying soap to wash clothes every month. AtAtation is large, the men are trained all the time, and the children are crawling around daily and don't even know how to use soap. I'm worried!"
Lin Nianyin raised her head and glanced at the sky. Seeing that it was still early, she got up and got ready.
"Don't do it now!" Principal Fang grabbed Lin Nianyin.
"Why don't you do it now?" Aunt Yang's reaction was even more significant than Lin Nianyin's.
Principal Fang rolled his eyes at her gracefully and said: "What Xiao Lin said today will definitely be reported to the senior management. Then, they will also pay attention. They will inevitably want to see Xiao Lin's true ability. That's it." She can come over in two days or even tonight, and then just let her do it. She has to work twice to do anything."
Aunt Yang: "..."
Okay, what Fang Wanying said is not unreasonable.
Aunt Yang looked at Lin Nianyin and said, "I didn't think clearly. Fang Wanying is right. You'd better stop doing it now. When others want to see it, call me, and I'll come over and look."
Lin Nianyin smiled and said, "Okay."
She could use this time to prepare something.
After lunch, Lin Nianyin saw that Principal Fang and Aunt Yang were fine, so she told them she wanted to walk to the mountains behind.
After coming here for so long, Lin Nianyin has never been there once because she has children around her. This time, she just had the opportunity to go there.
Aunt Yang said, "You can go. Recently, a lot of fruits have ripened in the mountains. Many older children have run into the mountains when the sky comes. But when I asked you before, you said you couldn't go because you said your children were young." Well, why is it that this time has passed again? What will you do?"
Lin Nianyin smiled and said: "Before, it was really inconvenient for me to take my children up the mountain alone. Now you and Principal Fang are here. I'll use it to pick some fruits and bring back some flowers." "
The two of them nodded, waited until it was no longer so hot outside, then put on their clothes and walked up the mountain behind them with their children in their arms.
Aunt Yang is different from Principal Fang.
Aunt Yang doesn't have a serious job. She hangs around with her family on weekdays and often goes to the mountains.
However, Principal Fang rarely comes here, and it is impossible to say he is familiar with the mountain.
Along the way, Aunt Yang kept saying some things to note, asking them to be careful.
For example, wherever you can go, you cannot go where the troops have blocked you. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be criticized and educated.
Another example is where the fruits grow best, are sweet and fragrant, where children go the longest, where the dangers are, etc.
Because Lin Nianyin brought the tiny girl home, and Principal Fang also brought Cen Wangsu, they did not go too deep but found some fruits under the leadership of Aunt Yang.
There isn't much of anything, but it's the variety.
On the way back, Aunt Yang also took them to a sugar cane forest and pulled out a few sugar cane trees.
Aunt Yang said: "These sugar canes are just in time to be eaten. We will wait until the end of the month and September to cut them and plant a batch. Then we can eat them again in February and March next year."
Lin Nianyin asked curiously: "Then who planted this?"
"Of course, there is no one else but the troops." Aunt Yang said, "Although we can come here casually, the troops are in charge. There would also be various rules if no troops were to check occasionally. Things have been plucked out long ago."
That being said, it makes sense.
Lin Nianyin looked at the large sugar cane field and said, "With so much sugar cane, we can make a lot of brown sugar."
"What are you talking about? Brown sugar?" Aunt Yang asked immediately.
Lin Nianyin said: "Use sugar cane to refine brown sugar."
Aunt Yang looked at Lin Nianyin strangely and asked, "How can you do it again?"
Lin Nianyin was speechless, "Isn't this very simple? Old farmers in many places can do it."
Aunt Yang was even more speechless, "I've been here for so many years, and I haven't heard anyone say that they can boil brown sugar with sugar cane."
In fact, Lin Nianyin thought. Without information explosion in later generations, many skills are unique and will never be spread easily. No one will tell others what they know. I'm afraid they have to hide it. Principal Fang said at this time: "I know a little bit about this. It seems sugar cane is squeezed into juice and then boiled into sugar. That's right."
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Yes, that's it, it's straightforward."
Aunt Yang took a breath and looked at Lin Nianyin first and then at Principal Fang. She couldn't help but muttered to Principal Fang: "Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't you know how hard it is to buy brown sugar now?"
Principal Fang said: "I only know this principle, but I have never really seen how to squeeze sugar cane into juice, what kind of tools are needed, and how to do it."
Aunt Yang muttered: "What about you studying? Nothing can compare to Xiao Lin."
Principal Fang: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "I only went to a girls' middle school then and didn't learn much. I can't compare myself with students like Xiao Lin, who graduated from serious universities. Do you understand?"
Aunt Yang said: "Of course, I know you are not as good as Xiao Lin."
Lin Nianyin couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two of them bickering like children, especially Aunt Yang.
She waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'll see if I can draw a design later. Then we can try to see if we can squeeze all the sugar cane into juice and boil it into brown sugar."
"Okay, just listen to Xiao Lin." Aunt Yang said quickly.
Back home.
They freshened up at Lin Nianyin's house and then did not leave.
Lin Nianyin washed some overripe fruits, soaked some in the newly dug well water, and took some out to eat first.
Lin Nianyin took out the flowers she had picked separately.
Except for a part she put in a vase at home to purify the air, the rest was washed, squeezed into juice, and set aside.
Aunt Yang asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin Nianyin said: "Didn't you two guess that someone will come over tonight to see how to make soap? Then I will do it if I make one, and if I make more, I will make some scented ones."
"Just rely on these flowers." Aunt Yang pointed at Lin Nianyin's hand and said.
Lin Nianyin nodded, "Just rely on these flower juices."
She also squeezed out the juice from the leftover grape skins and waited for use.
Because they were so curious, Aunt Yang and Principal Fang didn't leave either, and they had dinner together.
But because two people were helping today, Lin Nianyin was pretty busy.
Long after the meal, the first person Lin Nianyin greeted was different from the group of people she expected, but Liang Meijuan and Yan Jianguo.
Liang Meijuan was almost dragged in by Yan Jianguo.
Lin Nianyin could see a lot of wounds on the faces of the two of them with just a lot cursory glance. She must have had a fight at home.
Lin Nianyin adhered to the principle that I would not move until the enemy did not move or speak, waiting for them to take the initiative to explain their intention.
Wei Mingchuan even ignored the two of them.
Even during the day, Yan Jianguo went to Wei Mingchuan to apologize, but Wei Mingchuan pushed him back.
Yan Jianguo really couldn't compare with Wei Mingchuan. He really hated Liang Meijuan for looking for trouble. Naturally, he had a fight with Liang Meijuan when he got home and even got violent with her. Then he heard that Liang Meijuan came over to make a fuss during the day. I quickly pulled her here.
No matter what, he had to let Liang Meijuan apologize first.
Although he and Wei Mingchuan were not on the same team, they were in the same military region.
Moreover, Wei Mingchuan wanted to move up, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
When Yan Jianguo saw Liang Meijuan lowering her head and saying nothing, he couldn't help but kick her and shout: "Speak, didn't you agree when you came here? Why don't you apologize quickly?"
Not only Lin Nianyin but Wei Mingchuan also frowned.
In any case, domestic violence within marriage, whether it is domestic violence by the man or the woman, is not a good thing.
Although these two people are most likely domestic violence against each other.
Lin Nianyin said: "If you have anything to say, just say it properly. Even if you do it, don't do it before us. It won't look good."
Yan Jianguo immediately looked embarrassed and pulled Liang Meijuan. Because Liang Meijuan was as unwilling to speak as a clam shell, he could only talk by himself and then apologize.
Wei Mingchuan did not participate in this matter and handed over the home court to Lin Nianyin.
Lin Nianyin said: "No need to apologize. Anyway, I wouldn't say I like to suffer losses. If anyone troubles me, I will definitely take revenge. As long as she doesn't cause trouble for me a second time, I will definitely not do anything, so don't worry."
Nowadays, the general social environment is dominated by men. Yan Jianguo waited to say something after listening to Lin Nianyin's words. He just looked at Wei Mingchuan first.
Wei Mingchuan wanted to send them away quickly, so he said, "Whatever she says is whatever it is."
Yan Jianguo immediately took a deep breath and promised never to do it again.
He probably felt she was an eyesore here, so He quickly dragged Liang Meijuan outside.
As they walked outside, a large number of people came over. Looking at their age and military uniforms, they knew they had high rank.
Yan Jianguo quickly pulled Liang Meijuan, who was expressionless and just wanted to rush forward, to the side to make way while wondering what these big guys were doing here.
When he saw the large group of people entering where they had just come out, Yan Jianguo's eyes could not wait to pop out.
He didn't know how hard he was holding Liang Meijuan's hand at this moment, and Liang Meijuan screamed out in pain.
Liang Meijuan: "What are you doing? Let me go. It hurts me to death!"
"Shut up!" Yan Jianguo glared at Liang Meijuan, pointed at the door not far away, and growled: "Just see it for yourself!"
Liang Meijuan turned her wrist dissatisfied, glanced at it casually, and said, "Let me see anything if anything is interesting."
"You are blind. Didn't you see that those top leaders in the military region just now have gone to the home of the regiment commander?"
"What, what are they doing at his house?"
Yan Jianguo growled: "You ask me who I should ask."
He didn't understand why he had fallen in love with Liang Meijuan, the troublemaker.
When we first went on a blind date, she looked humane. Although she didn't talk much, she liked to laugh. She looked calm and shy. She should be a good wife and mother. But now, looking at it, he was completely deceived!
Stupid and poisonous.
Yan Jianguo was so tired that he didn't bother to pay attention to her.
He stretched his head and glanced at the door again, not knowing what was being said there, so he could only go back with complete curiosity.
-
As expected, a large group came to Lin Nianyin's side.
People came over in twos and threes, and soon, the space in the house was filled.
Lin Nianyin didn't talk nonsense. After answering some of the questions, she heard those people say she wanted to see how to make soap and immediately started performing.
This was the first time in Lin Nianyin's life that she had met so many high-ranking leaders face to face. If it hadn't been for the experience in her previous life, her legs might have gone weak right now.
But despite this, Lin Nianyin was still a little nervous being watched by so many people.
After all, she was the one who brought it up, and it would not be very pleasant if she messed up.
Fortunately, she didn't lose her skills. She made the simplest ones first and then mixed the remaining flower juices to make several kinds with colors and flavors.
Lin Nianyin poured the last soap liquid into the mold and said, "It will take about two days until they solidify."
"Is it that simple?" a leader asked.
Lin Nianyin nodded, "It's really that simple, but if the saponification reaction is not performed properly, it can also be dangerous. It may cause burns or scalds in the process."
The leaders nodded, and then someone asked: "Do we need to use lard to make soap now? How much oil is wasted?"
Lin Nianyin said: "The saponification reaction itself is like this. Grease must be used to make soap, but it does not have to be lard. For example, other oils that are not toxic to the human body can also be used, but our family only has lard now."
"Then, after all, oil still has to be used. No matter what kind of oil it is now, it is costly. No wonder soap is sold so expensive. It turns out that it is made of oil."
"Can tung oil be used?" some leaders asked.
"The tung oil you are talking about should be the oil squeezed out by the tung oil tree, right?" Lin Nianyin asked.
The man nodded, "Yes, that's it. Tung oil is relatively cheaper."
