Su Hui found a lot of books related to medicine, and had to collect another set of textbooks, from junior high school to high school, more than a dozen of the latest newspapers, two cabinets, a box, an incense burner, a small copper tripod, A big urn, and some calligraphy and paintings. She couldn't tell if these calligraphy and paintings were made by celebrities, but she also used brushes in the cultivation world, and her handwriting was not bad. It could be seen that the brushwork was good and the painting skills were excellent, so she accepted them. stand up.
According to the general situation, these are criticized now, but if the peaceful and prosperous times are restored, gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times will come in handy at that time.
After Su Hui picked out the books, she put the textbooks and the approved comic books on the top, and the old man weighed them according to these, and calculated the price uniformly. Only when you have to go somewhere, put these into the mustard space.
Next, it was getting late, Su Hui packed her bags. The reason she came to the city was to get her textbooks together. She said she wanted to get a junior high school diploma to convince the public. There was no such thing in the town. , She wanted to come to the city to look for it, and Zhang Chengye had just written her a letter of introduction, so she naturally had to bring the corresponding book back to hide it from others.
On the car going back, Su Hui saw a figure, somewhat familiar, and narrowed his eyes slightly, isn't that person Xie Rui
Xie Rui also recognized her and said hello, "Sister Su."
The corner of Su Hui's mouth twitched, as long as she was older than herself, she would call her eldest sister uniformly, it was really...
"Xie Zhiqing, you are also coming to the city." Noticing his big package, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you going home to visit relatives?"
Xie Rui shook his head: "No, my family is in the capital, and I have relatives and friends here who are here to visit." Then this package is the New Year's gift package given to him by his relatives and friends.
It seems that what Zhao Xialan said is correct, his family background is good, and he has relatives and friends here who can take care of him.
Xie Rui chatted with Su Hui naturally.
They sit in the front and back so that they don't seem too intimate.
"You can just call me Comrade Su. I think that's what people outside call me." Su Wei really didn't want to accept this title. If she counted the age of the third generation, it would be no problem for her to be called Big Sister, but in the world of self-cultivation After staying there, she will become a baby when she builds a foundation, and the name "big sister" can be heard as little as possible.
"Okay, Comrade Su, why did Comrade Su come to the city? I met him once when I was sharing the fish, otherwise I wouldn't know it was from the same village." Xie Rui said with a smile as he was only 17 this year. Sometimes it's hard not to feel good about it.
Su Hui was eleven years older than him, and she was already a mother of four children, so Xie Rui started talking naturally, no more indifferent and polite than in front of girls of the same age.
If it's a girl of about the same age, he has to keep a distance.
"Come to the city to buy some things. It's Chinese New Year. Did Xie Zhiqing also come to buy some new year's goods?"
Xie Rui smiled: "Yes, the things in the city are more complete than those in the town."
He took out a handful of candy from the package: "My uncle gave it to me, for your children to eat."
Su Hui doesn't want it, although she feels that she is not old, but looking at the green young man, she is really an elder.
"Eat it yourself, you are not very old."
"I have already graduated from high school." Xie Rui laughed. At his age, many people are married.
"It's true if you think about it. It's hard to buy these things in the countryside. You can keep them and eat one when you're hungry." There is no such kind of candy in the town.
In the end, Su Hui accepted his candy, but returned a pack of snacks.
While chatting with Xie Rui, Su Hui and Xie Rui mentioned the aspect of study. After knowing that she intends to obtain a higher degree, he agreed very much.
It is always useful to learn more things, and she is a teacher, the more educated she is, the more convincing she is.
He also said that if there is anything she doesn't know, she can ask him at any time. He has just graduated and still remembers the knowledge of high school very firmly.
Su Hui expressed her gratitude. She probably looked through the junior high school books. The Chinese ones are easy to say, but she can't guarantee that she will remember the maths.
Xie Rui, who already had a natural liking for her as a military widow, had a higher impression of her.
People who like to make progress have always been the type he admires.
Su Hui accepted the candy he gave, but he took out a small bag of snacks for him.
Su Hui didn't bring too many things. Apart from books, they were some New Year's goods, not as eye-catching as Xie Rui's big package. They went back to the town together, walked back to the village together, and dispersed at the entrance of the village. The educated youth spot and Su Hui The home is not in the same direction.
Moreover, Su Hui deliberately avoided the villagers, and Xie Rui thought so too. Although there was nothing shady on his package, it could easily arouse the jealousy of others.
Go separately and the target will be smaller.
When Su Hui went back, Zhang Baoguo had already cooked the sweet potatoes. He knew how to cook, although he didn't know much, but he could just add water to the pot, put miscellaneous grains, and sweet potatoes.
Seeing her come back, all 4 children breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Baoguo: "Mom, if you don't come back, it will be dark."
Su Hui put down her things: "If it's dark, you should light the lamps, don't be afraid of wasting lamp oil."
She took out a handful of candies: "This is given to you by an educated youth brother you met on the road. You each have two."
There's candy again!
The four children looked at the package they had never seen before, and carefully picked it up.
After getting the candy, the temperament of the four children can also be seen from their reactions.
Zhang Baoguo cherished the two candies when he got them. He glanced at the beautiful wrapping paper, unwrapped it carefully, stuffed the candies into his mouth, rolled them carefully, not wanting to eat too fast, and showed a satisfied smile.
Zhang Weiguo took his two pills, didn't look at them much, he untied one and put it in his mouth, crunching and chewing.
He felt that it was safest to eat good things right away.
Zhang Anguo got it but didn't eat it. He took it back to his room and put it under his pillow.
Zhang Dingguo took the candy and didn't put it in his mouth, but licked it in small bites. Su Hui ignored them and stopped Zhang Anguo.
"Have you finished eating the candy from before? Keep it there, and be careful to attract mice." Although there are no mice in the house now, she can't guarantee that there will always be no one. More importantly, if he puts it there, the baby's day will count Forget it three times, once she fell asleep and was accidentally stung by a rolling candy.
Zhang Anguo's small face was pulled into a ball, and it was not safe under the pillow, so where should he put it
Su Hui went back to the kitchen, opened the pot and looked at the sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains in the pot, added a handful of firewood, cracked two eggs, placed them on a plate to make steamed eggs.
Zhang Baoguo and the others followed her and asked her, "Mom, how is the city?"
"Is the house very tall and tall, with many people?"
"Are all the clothes they wear without patches?"
"Can they eat meat every meal?"
Children have infinite curiosity about the legendary city. The four of them talked to each other. Su Wei looked at their innocent and expectant faces and touched them one by one: "Don't worry, I'll answer you one by one. Next time, mom will take you for a stroll around the city."
Hearing what she said, all four children cheered: "Really? Can we go to the city?"
"Yes, as long as you are obedient, but don't tell this matter first, we won't be able to go if you tell."
"We will never tell it!!!" To express their determination, both Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo covered their mouths, only showing a pair of big eyes blinking and blinking.
…
The next day was a sunny day, Zhao Xialan patiently washed and took out what needed to be washed at home, and then came to chat with Su Hui after finishing.
She was equally curious, she didn't go to the town much, let alone the city.
Su Hui focused on describing the shopping malls there, and Zhao Xialan couldn't hide her envy when she heard the things that she had only heard of or never heard of.
"I also want to go to the city to open my eyes."
"There will be a chance."
Zhao Xialan sighed, just for the round-trip fare, she could cut a few kilos of meat, how could she be willing, the round-trip fare was more than two yuan, and a catty of meat was only 70 cents, and if it was replaced by rice, it would cost a catty more than a cent , that weighs 20 catties, so you can eat it for a long time if you save some food.
Su Hui also understands this point. People in the village really don't have any income channels when it comes to money, so they changed the subject: "On the way back, I met Xie Zhiqing, the new educated youth you told me about when we were sharing the fish. , said a few words, he seems to be a good person."
"No, my sister-in-law has already asked about him."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xialan's spirits lifted. Her sister-in-law is also a good person, with a round face and a tall and strong figure. She is a good hand at work both in the field and at home. It's quite tall, and her mother-in-law said that many people didn't like it, but now she took the initiative to inquire about Xie Zhiqing. She didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly felt that there was little hope.
"But he saw that he was a different family from us." However, her sister-in-law is not so rational. In her eyes, Xie Zhiqing took root in their village and came from the capital. Good-looking, a high school student who makes people feel inferior, gentle and polite, if you can marry him, maybe you can follow him to the capital.
Su Hui agreed. She also felt that she was not from the same world, but she was not an educated youth who did not marry the locals. It still depends on fate.
While talking, someone shouted outside: "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, are you there?"
Su Hui has always closed the courtyard door, and it cannot be opened from the outside.
Su Hui went out to see that it was his younger uncle Zhang Gui, accompanied by his eldest son Zhang Jinhua and eldest daughter Zhang Fenghua.
How did they come here
