Steamed buns these days are very real.
A steamed stuffed bun is as big as a Doudou's face, with a white dough skin and pork and cabbage filling. The ingredients are plenty, but the taste is really average.
Yun Hua was very hungry, and he was completely full after eating such a bun.
As for Doudou and Dudu, each ate two meat buns and two sugar tops, which made their stomachs round.
If you really can't eat the eggs, keep them for now.
There are no water sellers these days, and it is not difficult to ask for a bowl of water from someone on the side of the road.
Niang San had enough to eat and drink, and took a rest for a while.
"Mom, where are we going?" Doudou asked.
Dudu was a little worried, "Mom, I won't spend any more money."
Yun Hua could tell the child's meaning at a glance. The family had no money, and father's salary was only 5 yuan a month for mother, and the rest was with grandma. They were going to separate again. Now this meal It only cost 8 cents, what can I do in the future!
Yun Hua rubbed Dudu's head, "Don't worry, Mom has a solution."
After resting for a while, the mother and son set off again to the county transportation team.
These days, the folk customs are simple and simple, and it is easy to ask for directions.
Tang Jianqing knew how to be a man, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get such a solid job as a peasant boy.
Yun Hua took the two children and asked the gatekeeper. Knowing that they were Tang Jianqing's survivors, the gatekeeper took them to the director of the transportation team.
"Director Liu, this is Tang Jianqing's family member. I just brought him here at the door."
When Director Liu saw Yun Hua, he couldn't help but take another look. Yun Hua was dressed in very ordinary clothes, not to mention old, but also patched. If you didn't look at her face, she was no different from those women in the countryside who couldn't stand on the stage.
But as long as she looked at her face, there was no way to confuse her with those uneducated village women. Director Liu dared to say that he had never seen such a beautiful woman!
"Sit down!" Director Liu said, "These are the two kids from Jianqing's family, they look really good."
Yun Hua sighed, and said with a wry smile, "Director Liu, Jianqing often mentioned you to me, saying that without your help, he would still be a rural kid, let alone a regular worker, even a temporary worker would not be able to touch him, he said I am most grateful to you in this life.”
Director Liu also sighed, "After the calculation, Jianqing saved my two lives! My little care is nothing. Without Jianqing, I would have seen the King of Hades long ago. I said I would go to express condolences to you. There happened to be a mission in the sky, so I didn't have time to go there, and I didn't expect you to come up."
"Director Liu, to tell you the truth, I came up today to ask you something," Yun Hua said.
"You said, as long as it can be done, I am absolutely unambiguous." Director Liu said.
He said it so simply, but Yun Hua was sure that if she made any unreasonable demands, such as asking Director Liu to arrange work for her, etc., even if Director Liu didn't turn his back on the spot, he would sneer at her afterwards.
"Director Liu, has Jianqing's martyr certificate been obtained?" Yun Hua asked, "Thanks to you applying for a martyr for Jianqing, otherwise we orphans and widows would not know how to live."
As she spoke, she began rubbing her eyes.
It's not difficult to be a showman. When I think about whether I don't know if I still have the chance to meet the person I love most, I don't need to brew emotions, and tears will come down.
"This is what it should be. The martyr certificate has just come out, and I haven't had time to send it to you. In addition, there is a pension of 600 yuan from our team."
"Thank you so much Director Liu." Yun Hua said, "I really don't know how to thank you."
I really have to thank Director Liu for this matter.
Tang Jianqing died on the convoy to protect the collective property. In this case, he can be reported as a martyr. It does not mean that only by fighting and dying can he become a martyr.
But even if it complies with the policy, someone has to report it to you. If Director Liu gets stuck and refuses to report, then the family members have no choice but to make a fuss.
"That's all I can do for Jianqing. Have you brought your marriage certificate? If so, you can take the things away today." Director Liu said.
Yun Hua quickly said, "I brought it."
Director Liu stood up and said, "Okay, I'll take you to go through the formalities. But the pension also includes Jianqing's parents."
"I know that." Yun Hua said, "It happens that the family will be separated tomorrow, so you can give the old man as much pension as you want!"
"Separation?" Director Liu frowned.
Yun Hua nodded, "There's nothing we can do about it. We're separated, so we orphans and widows don't have to drag our parents and brothers down."
"Then what should you do?" Director Liu said, "How can you support two children by yourself?"
"I can work too, and there are a few hundred yuan left, which can last me a few years if I save a little," Yun Hua said.
Director Liu thought for a while, "Well, I'll go to your village tomorrow. Jianqing's parents also know about the pension, so as not to make trouble later."
"That's fine. Then trouble Director Liu." Yun Hua was not in a hurry to get the money, "You should bring the martyr's certificate with you."
"Okay." Director Liu gave Yun Hua another high look.
That's 600 yuan, which is definitely a huge sum of money these days, but this woman can hold her breath without feeling anxious at all, which is really impressive.
Yun Hua went back with the two children.
On the way, DouDou was still hesitating, "Mom, if you give grandma the money, you won't come back."
"Don't worry." Yun Hua smiled.
After leaving the transport team, Yun Hua took the two children to the supply and marketing cooperative. Most of the things here required tickets, and the ones that didn't need tickets were some vegetables, fruits, and so on.
Yun Hua didn't have a ticket, so he bought a catty of fruit candy at a high price, and weighed a few oranges.
Doudou and Dudu didn't dare to make a sound after seeing this handwriting.
In fact, she wanted to buy something else, but she couldn't get a cloth ticket, so she couldn't afford it, and she really didn't have much money in her pocket.
"Mother."
Doudou was very happy with a piece of fruit candy stuffed in his mouth, "It's so sweet!"
Dudu looked at Yun Hua worriedly.
Yun Hua originally wanted to say that sugar should not be eaten too much, as it would cause tooth decay, but then he realized that people's sugar intake was seriously insufficient in this era, and adults and children did not have the concept of brushing their teeth. Many people did not start brushing their teeth until they were in their twenties. No cavities, no chance at all.
It's not like the children of later generations. Almost all the food they eat every day is sugary, and most of them are high in sugar. There are too many children with rotten teeth in their teens.
Peeled two oranges, smelled the smell of the orange peels, and got in the car, so I didn't feel dizzy.
When the family of three returned to the village, the sun was already westward.
Yun Hua did not go home directly, but took the two children to the village secretary Chen Fushan's house.
"Is Uncle Fushan at home?" Yun Hua called at the door.
"Jianqing's family, come in quickly, have you eaten yet?" Aunt Fushan greeted her with a smile.
"Not yet. I just came back from the county." Yun Hua smiled and took the two babies in.
The Chen family had obviously just had dinner. Aunt Fushan brought Yun Hua into the house, and the village party secretary Chen Fushan was drinking tea: "Jianqing's family, what do you need from me?"
Yun Hua put half a catty of fruit candy on the Chen family's table: "I went to the county today to ask about Jianqing's martyr certificate, and Director Liu said that he would personally hand over Jianqing's martyr certificate tomorrow. Jianqing He also died to protect the collective property. He rolled off the cliff and couldn't even find the corpse. Murakami said everything. Uncle Fukuyama, can you find time to hold a short memorial service for Jianqing? For the martyr certificate, Murakami will subsidize some things for the survivors of our martyrs every year. I know that our Murakami is in a difficult situation. We voluntarily give up the subsidy. He died with honor..."
When Yun Hua came home with the two little ones, the Tang family had already had dinner.
The whole family lives in a big courtyard. Before entering the house, Mrs. Tang, who is enjoying the shade at the door, has eyes that are not eyes and nose that is not a nose. , can you still see people after the family is separated? I don’t know what shameful things to do, Jianqing just died, so he’s so unstable!”
Rural people have no other recreational activities after eating, just get together in twos and threes to chat.
All gossip comes from here.
Good reputation and bad reputation are also made out of this gossip.
These days, reputation is still very important, otherwise one or two rumors will give you a label, and this rumor will really become a murderous knife!
Yun Hua pulled the two children to stop, and looked at old lady Tang: "Mom, Jianqing has been dead for so many days, and the bones can't be found. Some people say that Jianqing died because of his own mistakes, and he almost got involved. Others, you listen and don't care about anything, let Jianqing's reputation be ruined by others! Jianqing will not die!"
"Who said that! My house was built to protect the collective property. It is a hero and a martyr!" The old lady screamed.
"Who knows if the martyr's certificate is not issued!" Yun Hua also raised his voice, and cried, "If I don't run to urge who to urge? Can Jianqing be approved as a martyr? I'll take the children and run away." What am I going to do for a day!"
"That's right, the higher-ups can't do things so quickly. You have to ask someone to do it. If you don't ask for it, you might not be able to do it. I think Jianqing's family is doing the right thing."
"That's right, it's hard for a daughter-in-law of hers to dare to do this."
A group of people chattered.
Mrs. Tang's face was dark, and she couldn't say anything more.
Yun Hua took the two children into the yard.
The second sister-in-law Chen Ying heard the movement and came out and said: "There is food left for you in the kitchen."
Yun Hua nodded, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."
"You're welcome."
Of course, rice is not a good meal. I ate sweet potato rice and whispered: "Mom, it would be great if I could eat meat buns every day."
Dudu stared at Doudou, "Mom doesn't care about him."
Yun Hua smiled: "Hurry up and eat, mom promises that you will be able to eat meat buns every day in the future!"
Early the next morning.
Many people in the village knew that Tang Jiefang's family was going to split up, and many people wanted to watch the excitement, but the horn in the brigade suddenly sounded: "Attention, all members, hurry to the brigade right now, hurry to the brigade right now !"
