Li Manfen acted quickly, wanting to find out.
On the way to work, she found an excuse to go to the place where her son was working, but she didn't see him, and went to the other side, where people usually do light work, most of them are half-grown boys and girls, and Some educated youths who are not very skilled at work have easy work, correspondingly, less work points. Sure enough, she saw her youngest son Zhang Gui here.
Everyone is in charge of weeding a certain field, and his son is squatting next to a certain female educated youth, helping to work together, and his hands are very neat. The female educated youth is lazy and pulls the weeds frequently , Seeing that her heart was on fire.
That female educated youth, isn't that the new female educated youth? At that time, she had praised to others that she looked good, and now she really looks good, which fascinated her son!
But she is also clear that it is said that this female educated youth does not like her son, but that educated youth Xie!
Could it be her son's unrequited love
She was not happy to have such a daughter-in-law, but the person her son liked didn't like her son, which made her unhappy as it seemed that her son was not capable.
But the rumors are rumors after all, and she has never seen it before. I don't know if this female educated youth really wants to talk to that Xie educated youth. She left first and planned to see it at another time.
Seeing is believing, she doesn't know this idiom, but she understands the truth.
Because the youngest son's reputation was not very good after the news got out, she didn't say anything, and she didn't plan to ask for help, and her grandchildren didn't do anything about it, so she was afraid that they would accidentally tell the story go out.
Li Manfen was thinking about his youngest son's lifelong event by himself, and even Zhang Gen didn't say anything about it. On the other hand, Zhang Baoguo also knew about it.
Zhang Baoguo's strength is stronger than that of his peers, and he discovered this after every time he went up the hillside to pick up small firewood, he could bring back more small firewood than his friends.
He attributed this to his daily exercise, eating well, and running with Captain Zhang Chengye every day. He could feel the increase in his strength, and he pulled his bars very quickly. He pulled the clothes on his body. I want to tell my mother to make this dress a little bigger. He is wearing a little short now, and his shoes have to be made a size bigger, which makes his feet feel stuffy.
He quickened his pace and walked quickly, and saw his uncle Zhang Gui at the edge of the village.
He was about to say hello, but stopped when he saw what he was doing.
He was under a fruit tree on the edge of the village, with fruit in his hand, talking to a girl next to him, with a bright smile on his face.
After a distance, he couldn't hear clearly, only intermittently heard some "... don't you want to eat... there... sweet...
you… "
This is talking about
Zhang Baoguo knew a little bit at this age, he looked curiously at the person who might be his aunt, she seemed pretty, but still not as good-looking as his mother!
He quietly chose another road, went to Liucun next door, and went to his grandmother's house.
His grandmother is at home.
A friend mentioned that his grandmother was sick, so he told his mother, and his mother asked him to bring something to visit.
Tian Siyi didn't expect her husband to come here, nor did she think that he came here specially when he heard the news that she was ill. She grinned: "There's no need to come here on purpose. I'm fine. Just rest for two days and I'll be fine."
She compared his height: "I didn't seem to be so tall before, did he grow again?"
"should be."
"Then ask your mother to make the clothes bigger. Fortunately, I kept a lot of them." She checked her grandson's clothes, and she could release some.
"Didn't you go to work today to earn work points?"
Zhang Baoguo wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I didn't go, my mother asked me to bring bacon and some medicinal materials, which my mother dug in the mountains, and made soup and water. Drinking it is good for your health, just put a few pieces in."
Many people in this village know that they will dig them home and dry them if they meet them, but it is hard to find big ones, and this one is big.
Tian Siyi poured him a bowl of water, but she didn't want the medicinal material, that meat: "You take the bacon back, grandma's also has it."
"I can't take it back, my mother will scold me, grandma, have you recovered after taking the medicine?"
"It's much better. I think it will be fine in two days." She has always been in poor health and gets sick easily, but fortunately, it's not a serious problem, and she will be fine in a few days. Resting at home, because taking a sick body to work will make it more difficult for the sick to recover, which is a loss-making job in comparison.
After her son-in-law left, selling her daughter was more decisive in speaking and doing things than before. She said yes, but she accepted it after declining. Then she took out two pairs of new shoes made for Zhang Baoguo from the room.
"I guessed it before, you try it."
One pair is just right, and the other pair is too small for him to bring back to Zhang Weiguo.
"There are still two pairs that haven't been made yet. When they are ready, I will give them to your brother." My daughter can also weave, but she doesn't like to do it, and she seldom does it. She would rather use cloth, but straw sandals are so convenient. That is, the cloth still needs to be bought with money. Children already spend money on shoes, so it is a waste to make cloth.
"Thank you grandma." Zhang Baoguo thanked. Seeing that only grandma was there, he asked, "Where are the others?"
"It's all gone to the field, and so is your cousin. As for your cousin, I don't know where he went to play, and he won't come back so soon. He won't know how to go home until it gets dark."
…
After returning home, Zhang Baoguo told his mother about his grandmother's place, and then he talked about his uncle: "I saw my uncle when I went to my grandmother's place. Am I going to have an aunt soon?"
Su Hui: "What did you see?"
Zhang Baoguo: "My uncle is picking fruit for that educated youth sister, very enthusiastic."
Su Hui: "Do you know who she is? Did you see her when you came back?"
Zhang Baoguo shook his head: "I know, newcomers this year, no."
Su Hui's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end: "Apart from me, have you told anyone else?"
Zhang Baoguo: "No."
Su Hui nodded: "Just pretend that you didn't see it, don't tell anyone except me, you know, it has nothing to do with us."
Zhang Baoguo nodded obediently: "Is it because there will be bad influence, if not?"
"right."
After doing the math, Zhang Gui is 19 this year, so he is indeed old.
But no matter who he marries, it has nothing to do with her, she has already separated, whether the sister-in-law can get along well, that's what Zhao Laidi has to worry about.
Zhao Laidi was really troubled.
When the younger brother-in-law gets married, there will be an extra person in the family, and he will have to build a house for him in the future, so the family can move out and build a house.
But is it so easy to build a house
In recent years, the family first built this house, and within a few years, the second child went there, but there was an allowance, so there was no injury, and another house was built, and the remaining money was the two old ones. Well, if she wants to build a house for her brother-in-law and separate her family, according to her mother-in-law's heart, it must not be too bad, but build a brick house again
She didn't know the exact number in their hands, and she also knew that it would definitely hurt her muscles and bones!
What's the point of splitting up when the time comes when you're poor and white
If you don't separate the family, you can save money, but if you have a big family, you don't have enough to live in, and it's even more difficult to live when you have a baby...
The best thing is to build a mud brick house like everyone else in the village and let him move out, but Zhang Gui will think about living in a mud brick house after living in a brick house for so long
Zhao Laidi felt hung up.
But Xuan can't do nothing.
She has been helping to find suitable candidates. The family conditions are not very good, she is hard-working and not squeamish, and has a gentle temperament and does not fight or grab. Unfortunately, she mentioned it several times, but Zhang Gui refused.
He was just an ordinary farmer with his eyes still on top of his head.
Zhou Xiaoqing put down the hoe in her hand a little irritably, and looked at her palm. There was a blister on it, which hurt when touched.
Seeing her movements, Zhang Gui next to her immediately came forward: "Xiaoqing, I'll help you. Go and rest under the shade of a tree for a while."
"Don't call me Xiaoqing, call me Comrade Zhou." That's what she said, her tone was already a little soft. As a girl who has been outstanding in appearance since she was a child, she has been courted by boys since she was a child. It's the first time.
She handed the hoe to Zhang Gui, and stood under the shade of a tree to rest for a while, her eyes dim.
Why isn't this courteous person Xie Rui
She had shown her love for so long, he was like a blind man, unable to see anything.
He must have done it on purpose, why can't he see her goodness
Whether it is Liu Yanxin or Zhang Gui, neither of these two is what she wants, but what she wants, she turns a blind eye to her.
Isn't she good-looking enough
Apart from her appearance, her education is also the same as his, and the two are obviously a good match!
But after such a long time, every time he cooks a small stove by himself, he will not give her a little bit, let her drooling beside her eyes, after all, it is not as good as Liu Yanxin and Zhang Gui for her, at least they give her candy, and the other Give her eggs, these are real benefits.
Do you want to change an object
Zhou Xiaoqing sighed, she likes Xie Rui the most, he is good-looking, capable, and his family is in good condition, but
He doesn't like himself, should he continue to work hard
Or change it
She had never done such a tiring job in the city. She didn't want to continue, regretted it, and wanted to go back to the city, but there was no hope of returning to the city. As long as she went to the countryside, farm work was inevitable.
The eldest brother Chen Donghua in the educated youth spot is also okay, but his family is poor. Not only does he not have family subsidies in the countryside, but he has to save money to send things back.
Xie Rui's good friend Lin Jingnan seems to have a decent family background, but like Xie Rui, he has no such intentions at all.
As for Liu Yanxin, she didn't think about it. On the way, she knew the situation of his family from his few words.
His father is the only worker in his family, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, all of whom have gone to the countryside, so they have no ability to help.
Do you really want to find a countryman
She couldn't help looking at Zhang Gui. The situation of his family here is pretty good. They live in a brick house. At the same time, the situation of his house is not a secret. She knows where the brick house came from. Yes, it's a pity that his second brother has already gone, otherwise he would be a good match.
The problem is that once you marry a country man, there is really no hope of returning to the city for the rest of your life. If you are with an educated youth, there is hope for returning to the city anyway.
She strengthened her mind, rested for a while, and after recovering, she went out and gave Zhang Gui a grateful smile: "Thank you for your help, I'm much better now, let me come!"
"No, no need, you continue to rest, I'll be fine soon." Zhang Gui is full of energy to help his sweetheart with work.
"You have to work too, you go back, thank you, I know you are a good person, thanks to your help, but I can't do this, I have to complete the task by myself."
What a strong and independent girl!
There is no such thing as coquettishness as they say, it's just that you don't get used to it, just take your time and get used to it. Such a good girl, they must not have discovered her goodness, only they have discovered her, Zhang Gui is very happy.
He was so happy, Li Manfen couldn't bear it anymore.
The youngest son often misses work, but work points will be deducted. Once in a while, it’s okay. What should I do if there are too many grains
She directly found an opportunity, and after she gave him a boiled egg, he didn't eat it but put it in his pocket and chased after him.
"Are you going to give this egg to others? You used to eat it right away." I was afraid that someone would come and snatch it, but now I send the whole egg to others.
Zhang Gui looked left and right: "What, Mom, I'll eat later, what are you doing out here?"
"Why do I come out, I come out to see what my good son is doing, I raised you so big, have you ever given me eggs?"
Zhang Gui knew something was wrong, so he immediately supported her shoulder: "Mom, what are you talking about, isn't it natural for you to eat an egg? Next time the chicken lays an egg, we will not eat it. I am filial to you, and I look forward to it." You are old and healthy, and live a long life."
Li Manfen couldn't hold it anymore, and smiled: "You just say it nicely." It seemed that he was not holding his breath anymore.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Manfen slapped his face again: "Let me tell you, I raised you so big, I know what you are going to do if you stick your butt up, are you interested in that educated youth, let me tell you ,I disagree."
Zhang Gui was taken aback: "What educated youth, what are you talking about?"
"You just pretend, and you keep pretending. Do you think others don't know? You are so lazy to help others, do you treat others as blind?"
Zhang Gui blushed: "...Where?"
He was dying: "I am friendly and helping each other. They are not skilled. If I give pointers, there will be nothing."
"Why didn't I see you pointing and pointing before?" Li Manfen didn't listen to his fooling: "Our family can't afford a delicate girl who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers."
"Where are the ten fingers not touching the spring water? How can there be such a person now, and she is not a capitalist's lady. She is also a communist class, her parents are workers, and the elder brother above is also holding an iron rice bowl."
"You still say you don't have that kind of thought? You've found out about this? Three people who are on wages, so she's in good condition." She was the one who received the second child's allowance every month before, and she knows best that it's paid every month The benefits of food.
Zhang Gui also knows his mother very well: "Well, she has only one daughter in her family, and there are two younger brothers who are still studying."
"Going to the countryside too?"
"It should be. There is no one who doesn't want to go to the countryside, but that's okay. She now receives things from home every month, white flour food stamps, meat tickets, everything!" He devoted himself to Zhou Xiaoqing's advantages speak out.
"Besides, he's from a big city, so he has a lot of knowledge. When he has a child, it will save face to go to his mother's house. I can also take you and Dad to see the world..."
Facing Zhang Gui's "sweet talk", Li Manfen seldom "controls" her. He once said that it gave Li Manfen the idea that "she is not bad".
