After setting a date to meet Lu Yan, the leader seemed to feel a different kind of guilt towards her, and granted Qin Rou a day off alone.
Qin Rou: "...?"
How scary is this army officer
Qin Rou is a fan of the authorities, and she doesn't know that in the eyes of onlookers, the chemical effect produced by the combination of Lu Yan's prickly head and her little pepper is terrible and makes the scalp numb.
— It's always nice to have a vacation.
Qin Rou went back to the dormitory and cleaned up briefly, brought money and receipts, changed into casual clothes, and left the art troupe compound at 2:30 in the afternoon.
She went to a department store and a non-staple food store first, and then boarded a passenger car at the Bincheng bus station. After bumping for more than an hour, she arrived at Muken Farm.
There are rows of brick and tile houses in front of you, surrounded by scattered yards. The adults have already gone to work with production tools, the aunt is peeling the bean sprouts, and the children are chasing and playing in groups.
Qin Rou's arrival attracted the attention of many people. She counted the rooms and came to a dilapidated private house. There were three steps in front of the door, and some green onions were planted beside it, but she was trampled down.
The dilapidated door was covered with black mud and donkey dung, and there were several big holes in the papered windows. Because there were people in the room in broad daylight, the door was not closed, so Qin Rou pushed the door open and entered the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Qin Rou saw a woman in an apron who was bending over to pick up stones and rotten leaves. Hard cow dung was scattered on the table, wall, and ground...near the doors and windows.
The woman was wearing gray cloth clothes and a white apron. The apron was covered with gray stains that could not be washed off. She sensed that someone was coming outside, and she was afraid that they were causing trouble again. Who knew that it was Qin Rou who looked up. , Her eyes were full of surprise.
The woman has short hair cut to the ears, and looks similar to Qin Rou, except that she has a pair of big and round almond eyes and thick lips.
When she saw Qin Rou, she was dazed and didn't speak. Two children squeezed out of the room, surrounded Qin Rou and said happily, "Auntie!!"
"Mom! Auntie!! Auntie is here!!"
Qin Rou looked at Qin Mian with a smile, and shouted, "Sister!"
"Little sister, why are you here?" Qin Mian was very happy to see her own sister. She raised her hand and wiped her cheeks. Then she turned her head and saw the mess in the house. She felt embarrassed and quickly picked up the broom to sweep it up. sweep.
Qin Rou went to help her clean up, and said: "I participated in the show and won an award, and today the leader specially granted me a day off."
"My sister is awesome!" Qin Mian smiled, and she stretched out her hand to knock off Qin Rou's hand, "Which one wants you to clean up, you take the child and sit over there, Juanjuan, go and pour water for auntie."
Chen Juanjuan is Qin Mian's eldest daughter, she is seven years old, and she has a twin brother, Chen Jinghua, next to her. The two children are very happy to see their aunt.
Because my aunt is here, there will be meat at home today.
Qin Mian didn't have any other relatives in Liao Province, just such a younger sister, and every time her younger sister came over, she always made some delicious food to entertain her.
Qin Rou's sister is in Liao Province, and she goes to her sister's and husband's house whenever she is on vacation. The life of the Chen family is not very good, and the food can be improved for only one or two days a month, so Qin Rou goes to the Chen family The days when I was born became the days when my sister and brother-in-law's family improved their food.
The clever children have long grasped this customary rule.
Qin Rou drank the water poured by her little niece, and gave the two children a bag of white rabbit toffee from her messenger bag.
Chen Juanjuan took two candies, "I'll get them for my little brother!"
Seeing Tang, Qin Mian glared at Qin Rou: "Who asked you to spend that money?"
"Sweet mouth for the children, sister, you can eat too." Qin Rou peeled off the candy wrapper and fed the candy to Qin Mian's mouth.
Qin Mian ate the candy helplessly, and the sweet and greasy aroma of milk spread out in her mouth. Although life was bitter, her heart was still a little sweet.
The movements of her subordinates quickened, and she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Eating candy, sweeping dung, it smells stinky."
"Here again today? Where's brother-in-law?"
"In the house, I'm taking care of my father-in-law." Qin Mian lowered her eyes, not wanting to say these things.
Qin Rou didn't ask any more questions.
Her older sister, Qin Mian, married into a family of intellectuals. Her brother-in-law, Chen Mian, was a schoolteacher. Qin Mian's father-in-law used to be a teacher at a university in Bincheng.
Qin Rou's older sister, Qin Mian, is from Sichuan and Hunan. Their father died very early, and their mother found another man to remarry not long after. At that time, Qin Rou was still young, and her mother only brought Qin Rou who was seven or eight years old. Remarried in the past.
Qin Mian stayed at his grandparents' house with the other two brothers. Later, by chance, the young and beautiful Qin Mian met Chen Mian who came to the south to meet his friends. The two got married, and Qin Mian followed Chen Mian to Liao Province. .
Qin Rou remarried with her mother and had a stepfather, who brought two boys with her. She was often bullied, and also developed her aggressive temperament.
At the stepfather's house, she could barely get by at the beginning. Later, when Qin Rou grew up to be twelve or thirteen years old, she became more and more beautiful as she grew older. The stepfather and the others became interested in her and wanted to moles her.
Qin Rou escaped from her stepfather's house and managed to contact her eldest sister Qin Mian. Qin Mian felt sorry for her sister and suggested that she should come north to Liao Province.
Qin Rou is also a bold girl. She was alone as a girl when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. She took the train ticket and got on the green leather train for a few days.
When she came to her sister's and her husband's house, Qin Rou finally felt the warmth of her family. Her sister and her husband treated her very well because she was beautiful and had a good voice. They sent her to a local art school.
After graduating from an art school at the age of sixteen, Qin Rou first went to the regional song and dance troupe, and later entered the art troupe. But her sister's brother-in-law's family was beaten into a stinky old nine and sent to the farm, where her life was very miserable.
The reason why Qin Rou wants to marry Head Yang is also to take care of her sister's family and make their life better.
"Don't do that kind of stupid thing again. It's a good thing you didn't get married." Qin Mian didn't want to make fun of her sister's happiness.
Qin Rou nodded and agreed: "Sister, I will definitely not be stupid anymore."
Qin Mian sighed, "It's also my sister's fault for dragging you down."
Now her family's status is not good, which delays her sister's marriage.
"Sister, don't say that. If you and your brother-in-law hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't know what life is like."
"Sisters still say these things?" When Qin Rou said these words, her heart was warm and sour. She had the original Qin Rou's memory and inherited some of her feelings.
Qin Rou is very attached to her sister Qin Mian.
Before crossing, Qin Rou's parents divorced early, and each had their own new families. She lived with her grandmother. Later, her grandmother passed away, and her parents didn't care about her, so Qin Rou lived alone.
Grandma left her a few old houses, which were not worth a lot at first. She kept them and collected some rent to make money. Because of her feelings for grandma, she never sold them. Later, they were demolished and turned into several houses. Later, housing prices in Shenzhen City kept rising, and she knew that her wealth would not be exposed, so she still lived an ordinary life, collecting some rent and working as a teacher.
Although he has no worries about food and clothing, he has no relatives and no reason, and spends New Year's Eve alone every year.
Now in the 1970s, although there is a lack of food and clothing, there are still a few more caring relatives.
Let's live with the situation, no matter what, after all, we have to live a good life.
"Sister, why did your voice change when you spoke?"
"Sister, I've been practicing Mandarin during this time." Qin Rou gave her sister Qin Mian a vaccination first, and explained why her tone of voice changed, "I want to be an announcer in a radio station."
This is a suitable way out for Qin Rou after much deliberation. Announcer is considered a good job in this era. It is much more comfortable than art troupe. You don't need to run around, you can just read the manuscript in the room, and the salary is high. It is a job that everyone envies.
Qin Rou is studying at a normal school, and the major requires a high level of Mandarin. In addition, when she was studying and working, she had a lot of experience in broadcasting and hosting. If she works hard, she may be admitted to the broadcaster of this era.
"Announcer? Good! My sister, you have such a beautiful voice, you will definitely pass the exam!" The popular announcer of this era is not easy to pass the exam, but her elder sister Qin Mian did not dampen her self-confidence, and even encouraged her, "Ah Sister thinks that your speech is getting better and better today."
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
"Qin Mian, is your sister here?" An aunt in blue walked in from outside the door. As soon as she entered the room, she stared at Qin Rou up and down with her eyes, as if staring at a piece of meat.
Seeing her, the smile on Qin Mian's face faded.
The aunt didn't want to be a guest at all, she opened her voice and said, "I told you to introduce your sister to my nephew, my nephew is better than you being a stepmother, right?"
"It just so happens that your sister is here, go meet my eldest nephew tomorrow!!"
It was He Chunfang who spoke. The eldest nephew she was talking about was a well-known bum around the farm, and he was very lazy.
"My sister doesn't see your nephew, so go back quickly."
He Chunfang rolled his eyes, and deliberately humiliated: "Your family has such a composition, and you still despise my eldest nephew? At least he is upright and Miaohong. Your sister almost went to be someone's stepmother, and was picked up by his old lady." , embarrassing, and your reputation is rotten, if you are someone else, will you introduce any good man to her?"
"Now we all know that she has a charming face and is willing to be a stepmother. Yes, there are many divorced men in the army. She is going to marry the second or third marriage? In the old society, this is called Filling the house, just looking at her face, people think it is a concubine helping her upright."
Qin Mian picked up the broom and was about to beat her out, but He Chunfang hid and got angry at her: "What I said was ugly, but it was the truth. I heard what people in their art troupe said, and there were so many divorced old men who were introduced to her. family, why not marry my eldest nephew."
"Bah!" Qin Mian, who was always gentle, trembled with anger.
"Sister, don't listen to her nonsense. My leader introduced the old chief's son to me. He is a young military officer in his twenties and never married."
Upon hearing her words, Qin Mian, who was originally out of breath, was stunned, "Really?"
"Really." Qin Rou nodded. "His surname is Lu. He is a naval officer. He is young and promising. He is twenty-five years old and will soon be promoted to chief of staff."
Hearing what she said so seriously, both Qin Mian and He Chunfang were taken aback.
Qin Mian was pleasantly surprised, Amei and her leader introduced her a young and promising good date!
