Soon, the sewing machine was bought. All the villagers came to join in the fun, surrounding Lao Wang's house. Several people came with cloth and asked Li Chunhua to help make clothes.
In those days, cloth coupons were hard to come by, so every family would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth and store it, and then take it out when they were going to marry a daughter-in-law. This was also a big custom. When getting engaged, you had to buy a few sets of clothes for the woman.
When she heard someone wanted to make clothes, Li Chunhua was overjoyed and started making them right on the spot. After asking for the size, she started cutting the cloth. Qian Shulan was very satisfied with her neat work. Even if the reform and opening-up policy was implemented in the future, Li Chunhua could still make a living with this craft.
As spring arrives, flowers bloom and everything comes back to life. The fields are full of green, and the fresh scent of flowers and plants is refreshing just by smelling it.
Qian Shulan thought Fang Yonglin would come to the countryside, but who would have thought that it was already April and he still hadn't come.
Thinking about Dana being pregnant now, I don’t know what’s going on
Qian Shulan left Xiao Min in the care of Sun Daqin and went to the county town with a hen and a basket of eggs.
She came here on Wang Shouquan's bicycle, as he was going to the county town for a meeting.
She came down from the county department store and went to find Fang Yonglin first.
It was too far for her to go to where they lived by herself, so it would be better for Fang Yonglin to take her back when he got off work at noon.
But when she arrived at the department store, she found out that Fang Yonglin had been on leave for several days.
She asked the salesperson next to her, "Why did he take leave?"
"I heard that his wife had severe morning sickness and vomited everything she ate, so we had to take care of her at home."
Qian Shulan's heart tightened. Is it so serious
After thanking the salesperson, Qian Shulan went to the square to wait for the bus.
But when she got to the square, she found it was crowded with people watching the fun.
Qian Shulan didn't want to watch the fun at first.
But when she saw a man on the stage, she was stunned.
That's Li Guocheng, right? Why is he up there
Qian Shulan also came over to take a look while holding something.
On the platform in the square, a bald man in his forties held a long stick and pointed at a woman in her thirties and shouted to everyone, "Li Lianxiang, you are guilty of hooliganism!"
Qian Shulan opened her mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it, and there was actually a female hooligan
This woman looks frail and doesn't look like a strong person, does she
Besides, in this kind of matter, it’s useless if the man doesn’t want the woman to be strong, right
Was she drugged? Then this woman is really tough!
Because it was too noisy, a thin man next to the stage began to beat the gong non-stop, shouting, "Quiet down, quiet down!"
The crowd gradually lowered their voices.
The bald man in the middle of the stage began to read out the charges, "Comrade Li Lianxiang sold her body many times in exchange for food during the three years from 1959 to 1961, committing the crime of hooliganism."
There was an uproar below, and everyone was whispering about how shameless this man was.
A middle-aged woman in the crowd raised her fist and shouted, "Down with the bitch!"
Then everyone in the audience raised their hands to denounce the woman.
The criticism and struggle meeting reached its climax for the first time.
Qian Shulan looked at the woman, who had managed to survive the famine but still couldn't survive. She turned her head to look at Li Guocheng who was kneeling at the end.
Compared with a few years ago, Li Guocheng looked very miserable, as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.
Before, he only had white hair on his temples, but now his head is full of silver hair. His face is full of wrinkles, and people would believe him if he said he was seventy.
Qian Shulan looked around and finally saw Li Caiying outside the crowd.
Her face was sallow, her hair was messy, and her beautiful clothes were long gone.
Now she was wearing dirty and shabby clothes. She covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to go closer. She just stared blankly at Li Guocheng on the stage.
After a while, it was finally Li Guocheng's turn.
The bald man stood on the stage and spoke in a rhythmic voice, "This Li Guocheng is the section chief of the cotton mill. Not only does he not serve the people, but he also embezzles and accepts bribes, and embezzles state property. He himself is fat and strong. Do you think such a person should be overthrown?"
This time the crowd shouted even louder than before. Many people even picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Li Guocheng.
After a while, he was hit on the head and bleeding.
Soon Chen Jianguo was brought onto the stage. Compared to the poverty of the Li father and daughter, he was in high spirits. He was wearing brand new blue clothes, a pen in his shirt pocket, and his hair was combed sleekly.
"This is Li Guocheng's son-in-law. He was the one who exposed his father-in-law and made us aware of Li Guocheng's crimes! Think about it, how many people starved to death four years ago? It was because these officials did not do practical things for the people, fooled our great President M, and fooled our kind and simple people. We must avenge our grievances and revenge our enemies. Teach them a lesson! This is to make them correct their mistakes and let them know that we are not easy to bully."
His voice became louder and louder. Chen Jianguo was pulled aside by him, and then many people started to hit Li Jianguo.
Qian Shulan slowly walked out of the crowd.
Before she could walk out of the crowd, she heard the man above her shout again, "Comrade Li Caiying, this is your father. Do you want to go along with your father or turn over a new leaf?"
Li Caiying didn't expect that she would be recognized. She was trembling and was dragged up by a man.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face and glared at Chen Jianguo fiercely.
However, the other party did not feel guilty at all and looked at Li Caiying with cold eyes.
Li Caiying was so angry.
The bald man pushed her hard and shouted at her, "Do you want to break up with her?"
Li Caiying froze in fear and quickly shouted, "I'm breaking off the relationship!"
The bald man immediately smiled and said, "Then tell me the whole story again!"
Li Caiying closed her eyes and said to Li Guocheng who had been bowing his head, "From today on, I will sever my father-daughter relationship with the bad guy Li Guocheng."
After saying that, he spat on Li Guocheng's head.
The balding man was finally satisfied.
Li Caiying thought she could finally leave, but the balding man insisted that she stay with him and be watched by everyone.
Qian Shulan sighed. Looking at Chen Jianguo's smug look, she didn't feel relieved at all.
She carried her things, got on the bus, and arrived at Fang's house.
Fang Yonglin heard a knock on the door and hurried over to open it.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Qian Shulan smiled and said, "I missed Dana, so I came to see you. I went to the department store to look for you, but who would have thought you were not there."
Fang Yonglin locked the door again and explained to her, "Danna had morning sickness and there was no one at home to take care of her, so I took a few days off."
Qian Shulan nodded.
When Fang Yonglin saw Qian Shulan carrying a basket of eggs, he hurriedly took what she was holding.
The hen was thrown in the yard, and the eggs were in his hand. "Why do you carry so many things? It's not easy for you to raise chickens."
Qian Shulan waved her hands and said, "You don't need me to support you. I just exchanged my work points for you."
Fang Yonglin just glanced outside and saw that no one had brought her here. He couldn't help but worry, "How did you get it here by yourself?"
Qian Shulan smiled slightly, "I took someone's bicycle and took a bus to the county town. Fortunately, it was on the way and I didn't have to walk much."
After sitting down, I didn’t see Wang Danna.
Fang Yonglin explained with a smile, "She is thirsty now, so she went to bed after lunch."
Qian Shulan nodded, and when she saw that the room was silent, she asked again, "Where are your grandfather and the guards?"
Speaking of his grandfather, Fang Yonglin sighed, "Several of his grandfather's old cadres were dismissed, and he went to Beijing to help mediate, but I don't know if it will work."
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment. Could it be the Chen family
She thought so and asked.
Fang Yonglin shook his head. "It's not Chen. It seems to be Yuan. He used to be the governor of Linjiang Province."
It’s good that his surname is not Chen. Qian Shulan finally felt relieved.
She was still very happy about the fall of the Chen family. If Mr. Fang was on the Chen family's side, she would be so frustrated.
But at this time, everyone was busy being cowards, why did Mr. Fang come forward? Wasn't he afraid of death? "Your grandfather?"
Fang Yonglin was also helpless. "Those were his old comrades, and my grandfather couldn't sit still. He stayed at home for half a month, couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, and said that he couldn't live with his conscience, so he finally decided to go and ask."
Qian Shulan didn't ask any more questions. She nodded at the door with her chin, a little puzzled, "Why did you lock the door in broad daylight?"
Fang Yonglin came over and whispered, "Mom, you don't know that the city has been in chaos recently. Many factories have been investigated, and even our supply and marketing cooperative is no exception."
Qian Shulan quickly told him about the criticism and struggle meeting she had just witnessed in the square.
Fang Yonglin, however, looked unconvinced. "That's just the beginning. Once those factories are checked, many more people will probably be caught. There are militias everywhere in the city now, and they only allow people to enter but not leave. This is to prevent people from escaping."
Qian Shulan thought about the way here, it seemed like they were just going in and not out.
She couldn't sit still anymore, and was so anxious, "Then how do I get back?"
She still had to go back to take care of Xiao Min, what was going on in the county town? Qian Shulan was so upset that she could not even cry. She actually crawled into the cage by herself.
Fang Yonglin quickly comforted her, "After the accounts are checked and the verdict is issued, the ban will be lifted. It will probably take five or six days. Mom, don't worry. Just stay at our house. I'm going to work soon, and I'm worried about Dana being home alone."
Qian Shulan asked Dana about her morning sickness.
Fang Yonglin was also worried when talking about this. "Dana throws up everything she eats. I am not a good cook, so I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy food, but she still can't eat it. It makes me very worried."
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll cook a few dishes for her and let her try them."
Fang Yonglin was very confident in his mother-in-law's cooking skills, and he was overjoyed. "Mom, I'll help you light the fire."
Qian Shulan took out a few eggs she had brought with her, looked at the dishes in their kitchen, and made an omelet.
Looking at the golden egg pancake, Fang Yonglin felt like his mouth was watering.
Qian Shulan asked, "Does she like spicy or sour food now?"
“Sour!”
Qian Shulan made a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds and a pot of beef soup.
The beef was brought by Qian Shulan, who braised it herself, so it wasn’t much.
Half is used to make beef soup, and the other half is used to make cold dishes.
Wang Danna, who had been sleeping in the room, smelled the fragrance and walked out of the room.
Seeing her mother actually came, she felt like she had found a long-lost family member, "Mom!"
Seeing her red eyes, Qian Shulan couldn't help but frown, "Crying during pregnancy is very bad for the baby. Please stop crying."
Wang Danna wiped her tears immediately and sat down. Fang Yonglin quickly brought the dishes over.
Smelling the familiar smell, Wang Danna, who was already very hungry, immediately felt hungry.
She said to Fang Yonglin, "Quickly bring me a pair of chopsticks!"
Fang Yonglin hurried to the kitchen to get the chopsticks and handed them to her, then sat next to her and watched her eat eagerly.
Qian Shulan thinks that a man like Fang Yonglin is not bad. How great!
After Wang Danna took a bite, Fang Yonglin couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"
Wang Danna nodded. "It's delicious."
"Don't you want to vomit?" Fang Yonglin's eyes sparkled.
Wang Danna was stunned for a moment, "No, it's delicious."
Fang Yonglin immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Oh my God, this is really not easy."
After that, he began to thank Qian Shulan repeatedly, "Mom, thank you so much!"
Qian Shulan waved her hands, "Nothing!"
Seeing that Wang Danna had been pregnant for several months, Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "You have been suffering from morning sickness and cannot go to work. How are you going to handle your job?"
When it comes to this, the couple became a little worried.
Wang Danna also slowed down her eating. "I originally wanted to find someone to help cover for a few years, and then I would go back to work when my child was old enough to attend the red-raising class. But I heard that there will be a reduction in the number of workers soon, and I'm worried that I will be eliminated."
Fang Yonglin said quickly, "Just get rid of me, I can afford to support you!"
Wang Danna ignored his good intentions, glared at him, and pouted, "I don't want to rely on you! I will get old very quickly if I stay at home as a housemaid every day."
Fang Yonglin was speechless.
Qian Shulan smiled and comforted Fang Yonglin, "She just can't talk. It's not easy for you to make money alone. When the children grow up, everything will cost money. Besides, Dana's job is not easy to come by. How can you just say no?"
Fang Yonglin wasn't really angry. He knew Dana's worries. She was just worried that he would abandon her. He smiled and nodded, "Mom, I know."
Wang Danna suddenly held Qian Shulan's hand, her eyes sparkling, "Mom, why don't you help me!"
Qian Shulan was stunned for a long while, not understanding what she meant, "How can I help you?"
The more Wang Danna thought about it, the more she thought it was feasible. Her mother was a capable person who could learn anything quickly! "Mom, aren't you an accountant? I just got transferred to the accounting office to help out. Can you help me? I heard that you can remember the accounts so well that even the working group can't find any problems. You can definitely help me keep my job."
Qian Shulan's mouth twitched. It seemed that she had become a substitute player.
She glared at Wang Danna and said helplessly, "You're dreaming. I'm just going to give up on my chicken farm, which is so big!"
It's not that she is narcissistic, but now the chicken farm really can't do without her. Qian Weihan is good at helping to sell the goods.
But what about accounting? Qian Weihan is really not good at it!
He is just a rough man, his handwriting is crooked and there are many typos. Let her take over his mess, please forgive her.
After hearing this, the joy on Wang Danna's face suddenly deflated.
Qian Shulan suddenly thought of someone and slapped her thigh and laughed out loud, "I know someone who can help you!"
Wang Danna's eyes lit up and she asked, "Who is it?"
"It's Zhengguo's girlfriend. She's a college student."
Wang Danna exclaimed, "Is this true?"
She also knew Zhengguo's girlfriend. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, she and Fang Yonglin were delivering New Year gifts and they met the girl on the road. Sun Daqin pointed her out.
The girl was very pretty and looked about the same age as Zhengguo. But I didn't expect that she was actually a college student.
It’s not easy to get into college these days, but she is so capable, why would she flee from famine
Is there some hidden secret
When Qian Shulan first heard Zhengguo talk about this, she was also shocked.
I didn’t expect that Zhengguo could find a college student as his wife.
Seeing Wang Danna's puzzled look, Qian Shulan sighed and said, "That girl's whole family is gone, only she and her nephew are left. It must be a sad story. Let's just pretend we don't know."
Wang Danna frowned, "Mom, aren't you afraid that there might be something wrong with her background?"
Qian Shulan waved her hands, "Even if her background is questionable, so what? She is marrying into the Wang family, not the Wang family's daughter marrying into their family. What does it matter!"
Wang Danna thought so too.
A married girl is no longer considered a member of the Xu family. She cannot be implicated.
Wang Danna smiled and said, "Then tell her when you go back! Ask her to come over early to take over my shift!"
Qian Shulan nodded and said, "Okay!" Although the chicken farm can make money, it is not as good as being a worker.
Even if she can only work as a laborer for a few years, she can save some money. She thought about it and said, "Then I'll let her live in our rental house."
Wang Danna nodded. "Tell her that the salary belongs to her, and when I can go back to work, she can return the job to me."
"Of course!"
Qian Shulan stayed here for five or six days, during which time Wang Danna's morning sickness gradually improved.
Qian Shulan taught Fang Yonglin some methods.
Fang Yonglin used to do everything on his own, and his methods were rather wild.
I found Qian Shulan's method quite new when I first heard it.
After a few days of teaching, Fang Yonglin made rapid progress and the meals he cooked were almost as good as those cooked by Qian Shulan.
"I think you have a talent for cooking." Unfortunately, he couldn't open a restaurant in this era.
Fang Yonglin made a bitter face and waved his hands, "I can't stand the smell of staying in the kitchen all day long."
Qian Shulan laughed. But it was more of a warm feeling. He obviously didn't like it, but he still did it for you. This must be a good man.
