From Cultivator to Widow

Seeing that Guan Shaoli left with the burden and came back with the burden, his colleagues used his good eyesight to ensure that his burden not only did not shrink, but swelled a little.

What's happening here?

Guan Xiaoli asked him, "Is the car repaired?" When he left just now, the car had almost been repaired, and it should have been repaired.

"Okay, you can leave anytime."

Those of them who drive sports cars outside and have a repair place only a long way apart on the road all have first-hand car repair skills. If the problem is not big, they can solve it by themselves.

Guan Shaoli got into the passenger seat: "Let's drive and talk while walking."

The car broke down and it took a lot of time.

"...So they don't want your gift, they took the special products they made, and they want to exchange the special products from your family with you?"

Guan Shaoli nodded with a smile on his face: "It's not that I didn't take all of it, but left some to eat, otherwise I'll take advantage."

The seafood on their side is not very valuable, so he accepts their meat sauce like this, how can he be willing, he originally came with the intention of subsidizing, but instead he was subsidized, what is that?

His focus was skewed: "Is that sauce really that delicious?"

"You'll know next time you try it. We're running outside. It's inconvenient to make our own food, and you may not find what you want to buy. With this, it's a big deal."

He drove the car and didn't say a word, and then said, "It's not bad. It's more important to be able to support yourself and stand up on your own." Different troops have their own stories. There are also comrades who fought together with them and depended on each other for life and death. They have been loyal to the country until the last second of their lives, and they have experienced a lot.

Guan Shaoli looked at the dark night outside, and hummed softly while helping to see the road.

Yes, although he didn't send what he wanted to send, he was very happy, especially happy.

So happy that he can't wait to go home immediately, let his mother help, collect the best seafood, and send it to them.

The next morning, Zhang Baoguo ate breakfast and went to school for class. When he came to sit down in the classroom, Zhang Jinhua came over and asked him curiously, "What did that person give you yesterday?"

Zhang Baoguo shook his head: "Nothing."

"impossible!"

Zhang Jinhua didn't believe it. He also drank a bowl of sugar water yesterday. It was so sweet that it seemed to be sweet to the bottom of one's heart. The first place he went was Zhang Baoguo's house. How could there be nothing? His mother asked him to ask before he went out this morning. In fact, his mother didn't say that he wanted to ask.

Zhang Baoguo frowned: "No." The things he left behind were exchanged for the sauce made by his mother. Later, he took the brown sugar biscuits that he went to the old house alone to give.

Zhang Jinhua pouted: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. He is a driver who drives the car. He is well paid. How could he not give you something." The things sent must be rare, and he may not have heard of it before.

Zhang Baoguo was unhappy: "I said I didn't give us anything. If you don't believe it, forget it. I'm going to read a book."

On his way to the school, he met many people, and all of them asked him a few words about what Uncle Tanuki brought him. He didn't like them like this, but he couldn't say why he was unhappy. Their tone was like, like, peeping at something.

Zhang Jinhua came to ask again, detonating his emotions, he pulled his face and ignored him.

Zhang Jinhua was also angry: "What's so great, if you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, who cares!"

The cousins ​​got into trouble.

As soon as school was over, Zhang Jinhua flew home with the things that he had packed in advance. Zhang Baoguo sat in the classroom for a while, and someone curiously gathered around to ask questions. He simply did not wait for his mother to come to him, and went to his mother .

His mother is a teacher, and the students naturally have a sense of awe for the teacher, and all of a sudden they become astigmatized.

Walking on the road, Zhang Baoguo had a serious face and followed Su An unhappily.

Su An noticed it and asked him, "What's wrong? Are you making trouble with someone?"

"Mom, a lot of people ask me about Uncle Tanuki and what he gave us. I don't like that."

Su An looked ahead: "We live in a group, it's inevitable, do you remember the last time a husband and wife fought, it was just about their husband and wife, but someone saw it and spread it out, and the whole village knew about it Now, when they come out, they have to be teased by others, have you seen how they dealt with it?"

Zhang Baoguo recalled: "...they weren't angry."

"The mouth grows on others. If you care about all of them, what will life be like? Some people say you are rude today, tomorrow some people say you are a loser, and the day after tomorrow someone says you are incompetent. If you care about all of them, do you care? Why not take it to heart."

Su Hui: "I live my own life, I know it's cold and warm."

"So when people ask you something, just say whatever you want to deal with it when you don't want to. However, Bao Guo, you don't like such a person, so be careful not to let yourself become the kind of person you hate. "

Zhang Baoguo seemed to understand something, but at the same time he didn't seem to understand anything.

When she was about to get home, Su An asked again, "Do you really want to join the army?"

"Yes!" He said the word firmly, and he still had his father's military medal under his pillow, and he had to touch it every day before going to sleep.

Su An nodded lightly, indicating that she understood: "You have to endure a lot of hardships, are you mentally prepared?"

"have!"

Facing his firmness, Su An brought a gift to Zhang Chengye's house.

"Captain, this child wants to sign up for the army in the future. There are requirements for joining the army. You need to pass the physical fitness test. Look at this child who starts training now, can he pass?"

Zhang Baoguo assured: "I will definitely work hard!"

Zhang Chengye knocked on the table and looked at Zhang Baoguo's face like Zhang Ping. In a trance, he seemed to have seen the young man back then, and he stood firmly in front of him: "I understand, starting tomorrow, we will be here at half past five. I'm here, I practice boxing every day when I get up."

Zhang Chengye agreed, and Zhang Baoguo walked happily, and then he noticed a question: "Mom, we don't seem to have a watch at home?"

Just looking at the sky, he couldn't tell what it was like at half past five.

"Don't worry, I have it at home." The watch can be taken out, and the radio will be taken out at some time.

So Zhang Baoguo got up earlier every day, went to Zhang Chengye's place to do boxing and stance together, Su An also gave him additional tasks from time to time to make him run in circles.

Zhang Chengye was a little worried when he saw this kind of intensity at first. Bao Guo was still a child. If he couldn't keep up with the food, it would be a bad thing.

However, after observing for a period of time, he silently increased the amount of training.

This kind of behavior is naturally seen by the people in the village. After knowing what his family is doing, there are other people who are interested, and come to ask Zhang Chengye, Zhang Chengye accepts it all, but he will not lower his requirements because of anyone's words, so As a result, not many people can persevere. The shortest is only three days. Plus, it is not guaranteed that they will be able to enter the army. Even if they do, some people have to think twice about whether they are willing to let their children go to that place at any time. Where life would be in danger, Zhang Baoguo was the only one left in the end.

Occasionally, Zhang Weiguo would also go, but he was too young, so he just ran along and played around.

Zhang Baoguo's perseverance made Zhang Chengye's eyes a little more appreciative and more attentive.

Su An received a package from Guan Shaoli. This package was sent by him on the way to a place that was relatively close to them. Otherwise, his hometown and Su An are separated by half a country. With the current logistics speed, the time it takes too long.

This package surprised Su An even a little, because it was really too big.

When you open it, you can see that it is wrapped in dry leaves and sorted.

Su An took them out one by one.

The most important ones are kelp and sea vegetables. In addition, there are dried squid, dried cuttlefish, dried scallops, sea cucumbers, unknown dried small sea fish and dried shrimps and so on. I am afraid that she does not know what these are. Guan Shaoli is also very considerate and attached a piece of it. A note, stating their name and what kind of dish they are suitable for, can be said to be very intimate.

Su Hui received it very happily. At the end of the letter, Guan Shaoli said that his colleague also liked the sauce she gave him and wanted to exchange these specialties with her. He also marked the type on the letter, so he was worried that Su Hui would get Too much meat sauce, and Su An will suffer in that way.

After receiving these, Su An couldn't wait to try it. I'll make a pot of seafood porridge tonight, and the return gift should have sauce. Besides... Su An thought about it, and divided a part of the seafood, and asked Zhang Baoguo to send it to Zhang Gen. They, at the same time, asked him to tell him that this was in exchange for their special products, and asked them to send them some dried vegetables and sweet potatoes dried at home.

Although their province is close to the sea, their location is not close to the sea, and the only seafood they have eaten are salted fish and kelp.

Su An let the dried shrimp and scallops sent by him are rare things, and exchanged his special products with him. Zhang Jinhua simply wrote a letter and put it in it.

Seafood porridge, the focus is on a fresh word.

The white-flowered rice has distinct grains, crystal clear and fragrant. Roll it with a spoon to remove the shrimp, scallops, and dried squid.

Zhang Anguo drank it in small sips. He had a habit of saving the delicious food for later. After he took a mouthful of the ingredients, he put the shrimps aside and concentrated on drinking the porridge.

Zhang Dingguo is the opposite of his twin brother.

He likes to finish the delicious food first, and then eat the less delicious food.

He was fast, and after he finished eating, he focused on the pile of shrimp and scallops in Zhang Anguo's bowl.

Zhang Anguo noticed that, like a little hamster protecting food, he moved the bowl toward him, his cheeks bulging, and he accelerated the speed of eating.

At the same time, occasionally the candy and biscuits he kept secretly disappeared. He suspected that someone had stolen it. Thinking of his candy, Zhang Anguo shoved the shrimp and dried scallops into his mouth, and his big eyes narrowed in enjoyment.

I decided to hide the candy in another place when I go back.

Zhang Baoguo drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, burped contentedly, noticed his fourth brother's expression, and asked him, "Aren't you full yet? There's still more in the pot."

Zhang Dingguo patted his belly: "I'm full, but I still want to eat shrimp."

Su An put down the bowl: "Are you all full?"

After getting a definite answer, he poured the rest into his bowl: "I want to eat shrimp, I'll make it tomorrow, you guys don't sleep for a while, and go around in the yard for a while."

Zhang Weiguo licked his lips. He had just eaten, and he was already looking forward to tomorrow.

After eating, it was time to clean up the dishes. Zhang Baoguo stared at Zhang Weiguo. The two of them took turns washing, and today it was his turn.

Zhang Weiguo didn't want to move: "Brother, help me wash it."

Zhang Baoguo: "No."

Zhang Weiguo looked at the two younger brothers, they were actually not very different in age.

Zhang Dingguo jumped up: "My third brother and I are on fire, and we are all burning the bath water! Aren't you afraid that we will break the bowl?"

Zhang Weiguo had to obediently go to the back well to draw water and wash dishes.

Mom doesn't need to think about it. Mom cooks hard and doesn't even have a replacement. They can take a rest anyway.

...

Su An packed some seafood and gave them to her family, Zhao Xialan and Zhang Chengye. They also took out some local food and asked her to send it to Guan Shaoli together.

Su Qianming and Tian Siyi saw these things as not uncommon, nor did they feel unfamiliar. Compared with Zhao Xialan, they asked clearly what they were and how to cook them.

Both their husbands and wives came from other places, and maybe there was a story.

It's just that she hasn't mentioned a few words for so many years, and Su An has no intention of exploring.

With the arrival of summer, Su Fen's mustard seed space is almost completely new.

Except for the white bone lotus in the middle and the other spirit plants that were protected by the formation, she planned to plant things in the remaining empty places.

That piece is a variety of Chinese herbal medicine, from the very common folded ear root to ginseng seedlings, annual to perennial, there are.

Next door is a rice seedling at the heading stage, and next door is a plump corn cobs, followed by a peanut field. In addition to these food, there is a small piece of cotton.

After that, there was a lush vegetable garden, and Su Hui harvested part of it, leaving a bare land.

In the last area, various saplings were planted, including plums, peaches, mangoes, apples and other fruit trees, which grew together in different formations. Besides the fruit trees, there were some good saplings that Su An encountered on the mountain.

This is not bad, not to say that it is a spiritual wood, but compared to others, if it grows in this aura-rich place for a long time, there will be a greater chance of becoming a spiritual plant.

Those who are now planting all kinds of food, there will be no shortage of food later, and sooner or later, they will be occupied by various species that have the opportunity to become spiritual plants.

Su An adjusted the array flag, and a piece of peanuts floated up in the air, and then the soil fell first, adjusted the height, and cut it across the board. The peanuts fell to the ground and were "sucked" into the middle. Into the bag, the peanut surface that was still in the air fell to the ground.

Leave it alone like this, after a period of time, it will be absorbed by this space.

As for these peanuts, Su An got an area with a slightly red light. The heat here is higher than other places. It should have been planted with fire-type spiritual plants, but now it has become her drying area.

Put it here, and after a few days, these tender peanuts will turn into dry peanuts. It's that simple to harvest peanuts.

Unlike her easy drying in the mustard space, in reality, it has been raining for more than half a month.

Summer is the time of year when it rains the most.

Because it often rains, every household has raincoats, some are made of tarpaulin, some are made of the transparent film inside the fertilizer bag, and some are made of straw weaving and rice dumpling leaves.

Su Hui's family didn't have raincoats at first, so when they split up, they didn't have any, but they did have an umbrella, which was made of oiled paper.

There are no people in their family who want to work in the fields. It rains occasionally in winter. As long as you have an umbrella to go to class, you don't need an umbrella if the rain is small.

It rains a lot now, and Zhang Weiguo still runs outside. The rain can't stop him from running outside. He doesn't have an umbrella, but there are many banana leaves and taro leaves. Almost all of the children are giggling outside with a big leaf on.

Su An paid attention to their bodies and asked them to change their clothes as soon as possible when they were wet, regardless of the tendency to catch cold and get sick.

But Zhao Xialan agreed to make one together after knowing that her family didn't have a raincoat.

The two pieces in her house are a little old, and it's time to make new ones.

Su An thought that she said she wanted to make it herself, so she went to get some fertilizer bags and came back.

It is difficult to buy chemical fertilizers, and few people in the village have chemical fertilizer bags. It is also a rare thing, but in the town, you can still buy it with money.

After unbuttoning and cutting it, it was a raincoat. Su An made five in one go, enough for one person.

Zhao Xialan was not willing to spend that money.

Although there is not a lot of money, she would rather use that money to buy a few candies for her children. Making a raincoat just takes a lot of work. Anyway, when it rains heavily, she can't do other things, and she is idle when she is idle.

She finally spent half a month knitting some, but instead of making a raincoat, it became a roof.

It has been raining lately and the roof is leaking.

Her house is the most common kind of house in the village - the base is made of stones, the walls are made of yellow mud bricks, and the roof is made of straw planks.

The tiles are just a little bit in the main part.

Zhao Xialan complained: "It must have been a leak in the spring, and it must have leaked. It hasn't rained heavily this year."

That habitual gesture made Su Yimo stunned.

Zhao Xialan continued to weave while chatting with Su An: "But looking at the weather, it's going to rain soon, I don't know if I can hold it back then. Wasn't there a strong wind last year, my roof was almost taken off, this year should be No, it was re-strengthened, and it cost someone five eggs."

Su An didn't know how to talk for a while.

She was doing needlework slowly, and she kept up with her food. The child was already growing, but now it's bigger. It is estimated that it is just right to wear it in autumn.

What she is making now is a slightly flawed cloth, which is hard to come by. Zhao Xialan was envious for a while when she first saw it.

Don't buy tickets, the price is still a lot cheaper, so what's the point of flaws.

Su Hui listened silently, this cloth was bought when she was selling wild boar. In the supply and marketing cooperative, she had never seen cheap defective products, and it had been digested by the salesperson for a long time.

Zhang Anguo helped Zhao Xialan beside him, handing things and the like: "Aunt Lan, is there still a leak in your house?"

"It's leaking, but there are only two places, not many, just use the basin."

Zhang Anguo: "Where is the leak, is it on the bed?"

Zhao Xialan sighed: "Where, how can I sleep in bed."

Su An coughed lightly: "Didn't you make up for it?"

"I've made it up, there's still a little bit, I can't help it, I have to hurry up and make up a little more, and then I'll ask someone to repair it." Even if he got used to it, Zhao Xialan was a little helpless.

She glanced at the roof here, and said enviously, "It's better for you here, you don't have to be afraid of wind and rain." There, when it rained, she didn't dare to sleep to death, and the leaking place was still there in other places. Well, if it happens to be where the grain is stored and the grain gets wet, that's bad.

Su An also followed her gaze to the roof, thinking thoughtfully, there are not many tiles in the village, and tiles are not easy to buy. When building this new house, it was the tiles that Sun Qiang bought just in time after he lost his favor. Are tiles hard to burn?

Zhao Xialan is accustomed to the rainy season every summer, and is also used to the water leakage that must occur every year, but the educated youth from other places are not used to it, especially the educated youth who came from last year, who have not experienced it yet. The raindrops that fell drop by drop were about to collapse.

Xie Rui and Lin Jingnan were the ones who were about to collapse. They fell asleep and suddenly something fell on their faces. The cool thing was water? Ok? How can there be water? !

Xie Rui woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, just as a drop of water fell on his eyes.

"what?"

He ducked quickly, and saw the water splash by the shimmer of the sun that had just risen by the window.

On the roof, water dripped intermittently.

Xie Rui wiped the water stains on his face, the house is leaking!

Xie Rui woke up Lin Jingnan, and there was a leak on his side, but the direction of the leak was at his feet. The quilt in summer was very thin, so Lin Jingnan didn't cover it and piled it there. Now his quilt is mostly wet.

The sun just came up, and with this light, the two of them moved everything on the bed to one side, that is, after they got out of bed, they found out that there were water leaks in three places in their house!

Bringing buckets and basins to collect water, the two young men who had never experienced this before looked at each other for a while, Lin Jingnan laughed dryly: "It's raining a bit hard outside, no wonder the water leaked."

Xie Rui: "..." He didn't want to speak.

The two of them sat for a while, and the others woke up one after another, and began to hear noises. Seeing that it was almost over, the two of them went to Chen Donghua.

Chen Donghua is an old educated youth of the educated youth point, and also the big brother of the educated youth point. When there is something to negotiate with the village, he comes forward as a representative of the educated youth point.

Chen Donghua came to take a look and said: "Water leakage is normal. It only started to leak after it rained for so many days. It seems that it was repaired well last year. Water leaked every year before. It has been renovated all over again, and it can only last until now until the water leaks.”

They were raining outside and it was raining inside, synchronizing.

Hearing Chen Donghua's words, Xie Rui couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and rubbed it. Is this actually normal? !

Want to swear :)
