From Cultivator to Widow
Chapter 40:
Li Manfen acted quickly, wanting to find out.
On the way to work, she made an excuse to go to the place where her son was working. She didn't see him. When she got to the other side, there were usually people who worked lightly, mostly half-old girls, and Some educated youths who are not very skilled at work are easy to work, and correspondingly, they have less work points. Sure enough, she saw her youngest son Zhang Gui here.
Everyone is responsible for the weeding work of a certain field, and his son is squatting next to a certain female educated youth, helping with the work, and he starts very neatly. The female educated youth is lazy, and he pulls the grass without a single stroke. , to see her heart ignite.
That female educated youth, isn't that the new female educated youth? At that time, she also praised others for her good-looking appearance, and now it seems that she is really good-looking, which all fascinated her son!
But she is also clear that this female educated youth, it is said that what she likes is not her own son, but that Xie Zhiqing!
Is this difficult or is her son unrequited love?
She was not happy to have such a daughter-in-law, but the people her son looked at didn't look at her son, and it seemed that her son had no ability, which also made her unhappy.
But the rumors are rumors after all. She has never seen them before. She doesn't know if this female educated youth really wants to talk to that Xie Zhiqing. She left first and plans to have a look at another time.
Seeing is believing, she doesn't know this idiom, but she understands the truth.
Because the reputation of the younger son was not very good after the news broke out, she did not make it public, and did not plan to ask anyone for help. Her grandchildren were no longer in charge, and she was afraid that one of their children would accidentally tell the story. go out.
Li Manfen was thinking about the life-long affairs of her youngest son by herself, and didn't even say anything about Zhang Gen. On the other hand, Zhang Baoguo also knew about it.
Zhang Baoguo's strength is stronger than that of his peers, which he discovered after every time he went to the hillside to pick up small firewood, he could bring back more firewood than his friends.
He attributes this to his daily exercise, eating well, and running with Captain Zhang Chengye every day. He can feel the increase in his own strength, and he draws bars very quickly. I have to tell my mother to make this dress a little bigger. He is wearing a little short now, and his shoes have to be one size larger, which makes his feet a little stuffy.
He quickened his pace and walked all the way, when he saw his uncle Zhang Gui at the edge of the village.
He was about to say hello when he saw what he was doing and stopped.
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, and only heard something "...don't you want to eat...there is...sweet...
you…"
Is this the subject of discussion?
Zhang Baoguo knew a little bit at his age. He curiously looked at the person who might be his little aunt. He seemed pretty good-looking, but he wasn't 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 said 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 the eldest son to come here, nor did he expect him to come here specially when he heard the news that she was ill, she grinned: "What's the use of coming here on purpose, I'm fine, just rest for two days."
She compared his height: "I didn't seem to be this tall before, is it growing again?"
"should be."
"Then let your mother make the clothes bigger. Fortunately, I kept a lot." She checked her grandson's clothes, and it was possible to release some.
"Didn't go to the ground to earn work points today?"
Zhang Baoguo wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I didn't go, my mother asked me to bring bacon and some medicinal materials. My mother dug it on the mountain, and made soup and water. Drinking it is good for your health. Just put a few pieces."
Many people in this village know that when they encounter them, they will dig them home to dry them, but the big ones are hard to find, and this one is big.
Tian Siyi poured him a bowl of water, but she didn't want the meat as a result of the herbs: "Take the bacon back, grandma has it at home too."
"I can't take it back. Mom will scold me. Grandma, are you feeling better after taking the medicine?"
"It's much better. It's probably going to be fine in a couple of days." She has always been in poor health and gets sick easily, but fortunately, it's not a big problem, and it will be better in a few days. Resting at home, because you go to work with the sick body, it will be more difficult for the sick to recover, which is a loss-making job in comparison.
After the son-in-law went to sell her daughter, she was more decisive than before. She said yes, she refused and she accepted it. Then she took out two pairs of new shoes for Zhang Baoguo from the room.
"I guessed it before, you try it."
One pair is just right, and if the other pair is too small, let him bring it back to Zhang Weiguo.
"There are still two pairs that have not been made yet. When they are made, they will be given to your brother." My daughter can also make up, but she is not willing to make it, and she seldom makes it. She would rather use cloth, but straw sandals are so convenient, and the materials are curbside. Yes, the fabric has to be bought with money. Children already spend money on shoes, and it is a waste to make fabrics.
"Thank you, grandma." Zhang Baoguo thanked him. Seeing that only my grandmother was there, I asked, "Where are the others?"
"They've all gone to the fields, and so is your cousin. As for your cousin, I don't know where to go to play. I didn't come back so soon. I won't know to go home until it's dark."
…
After going back, Zhang Baoguo told his mother about his grandmother's stay, and then talked about his uncle: "I saw my uncle when I went to my grandmother's place. Am I going to have an aunt?"
Su An: "What did you see?"
Zhang Baoguo: "Uncle is picking fruit for that educated youth sister, very enthusiastic."
Su An: "Do you know who she is? Did you see it when you came back?"
Zhang Baoguo shook his head: "I know, this year's newcomer, no."
Su An's expression remained the same from beginning to end: "Apart from me, who else did you tell me?"
Zhang Baoguo: "No."
Su An nodded: "Just pretend that I 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 a bad influence, if not."
"right."
Do the math, Zhang Gui is 19 this year, and he is indeed old.
But no matter who he marries, it has nothing to do with her. She has separated from the family. Whether the concubine can get along well or not is something that Zhao Laidi will worry about.
Zhao Laidi was really troubled.
If the uncle gets a wife, then there will be one more person in the family, and he will have to build a house for him in the future, and then the family can move out and build a house.
But is it so easy to start a house?
In recent years, the family first built this house. After a few years, the second child went away, but there was an allowance, so it didn't hurt. , If she wants to build a house for her brother-in-law, 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 knew that it would definitely hurt her bones!
One poor and two white, what's the point of splitting up at that time?
If you don't separate your family, the money will be saved, but a large family is not well-off, and when he gives birth to a child, he will not be able to live...
It would be better to build a mud brick house like everyone else in the village and let him move out, but Zhang Gui would think of living in a mud brick house after living in a brick house for so long?
Zhao Laidi felt suspended.
But you can't do nothing at all.
She has been helping to find a suitable candidate. The family conditions are not very good, she is hard-working and not squeamish, and her temperament is gentle and not arrogant. Unfortunately, she mentioned it a few times, but Zhang Gui refused.
He was just an ordinary peasant with his eyes still on the top of his head.
Zhou Xiaoqing put down the **** in her hand a little irritably, and looked at her palm, there was a blister on it, and it hurt when touched.
Seeing her action, Zhang Gui next to her immediately stepped forward: "Xiaoqing, I'll do it for you, you go to rest in the shade for a while."
"Don't call me Xiaoqing, call me Comrade Zhou." She said this, her tone was a little soft. As a girl with outstanding looks since she was a child, since she was a child, she was courted by boys long ago. For the first time.
She handed the **** to Zhang Gui, and stood under the shade of a tree to rest for a while, her eyes dim.
Why isn't it Xie Rui who is diligent?
She had been showing it for so long, and 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 was Liu Yanxin or Zhang Gui, neither of them was what she wanted, but she turned a blind eye to what she wanted.
Is she not good-looking enough?
Aside from her appearance, her education is the same as his, and the two are obviously a good match!
But for so long, every time he opened a small stove, he would not give her a little bit, making her drool beside her. After all, Liu Yanxin and Zhang Gui are not as good to her as Liu Yanxin and Zhang Gui, at least one of them will give her candy and the other Give her eggs, and those are tangible benefits.
Do you want to change an object?
Zhou Xiaoqing sighed. She likes Xie Rui the most.
He doesn't like himself, should he keep trying?
Or replace it?
She had never done such tiring work 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 unavoidable.
Chen Donghua, the eldest brother in the educated youth point, is also okay, but his family is poor. Not only does he have no family subsidies in the countryside, but he has to save himself 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 thoughts 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 been sent to the countryside, so they have no ability to help.
Are you really looking for a country man?
Her eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Gui. The situation in his house is not bad here. He lives 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 candidate.
The problem is that once you marry a country man, you will really have no hope of returning to the city for the rest of your life.
She strengthened her mind, rested for a while, and after she recovered, she went out and gave Zhang Gui a grateful smile: "Thank you for your help, I'm much better now, I'll come!"
"No, no, you continue to rest, I will be fine soon." Being able to help his sweetheart with work, Zhang Gui is full of strength.
"You also have to work, 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!
Where is the squeamishness they say, it's just not suitable, take it slow, get used to it, such a good girl, they must not have found her good, only they have found it, Zhang Gui is very happy.
He was overjoyed, but Li Manfen couldn't bear it any longer.
The younger son is often overworked, but his work points are deducted. Occasionally once or twice is fine. What if there is more food?
She directly took a chance, and after she gave a boiled egg, he didn't eat it, but put it in his pocket and chased after it.
"Are you going to give this egg to someone else? You used to eat it right away." I was afraid that someone would come and grab it.
Zhang Gui looked left and right: "Where, Mom, I'll eat it later, why are you coming out?"
"Why did I come out? I came out to see what my good son is going to do. I raised you so much, have you ever given me eggs?"
Zhang Gui knew something was wrong, so he immediately put his shoulders on her: "Mom, what are you talking about, isn't it a matter of course that you eat an egg? Next time the chicken lays an egg, we won't eat it. We will be filial to you and look forward to it. You are old and healthy and live a long life."
Li Manfen couldn't hold it any longer, and smiled: "You can say it nicely." It seemed that she was no longer holding her breath.
He just breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Manfen turned on his face again: "I tell you, I raised you so much, you pout your **** and I know what you're going to do, whether you like that educated youth, I'll tell you ,I disagree."
Zhang Gui was taken aback: "What educated youth, what are you talking about?"
"If you pretend, you will continue to pretend. Do you think others don't know? You are lazy and help others to work. You treat others as blind?"
Zhang Gui's face turned red: "...Where."
He struggled to the death: "I am friendly and mutual help, others are not skilled, I give more pointers, there is nothing."
"Why didn't I see you before?" Li Manfen didn't want to listen to him fooling around: "Our family can't afford a beautiful girl whose ten fingers don't touch the spring water."
"Where can't ten fingers touch the spring water? Where can there be such a person now, and it is not a capitalist lady. They are also communists, their parents are workers, and the elder brother above is also holding an iron rice bowl."
"You said that you don't have this intention? You have already inquired about this? Three people are paid, so she is in good condition." Before the second child's allowance she received every month, and she knew best that it was 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 below, who are still studying."
"Go to the countryside too?"
"It should be, there is no one who doesn't go to the countryside, but that's no problem. She now receives things from her family every month, including food stamps and meat stamps, all of them!" He devoted himself to bringing Zhou Xiaoqing's advantages. speak out.
"And they come from a big city, so they have a lot of knowledge. If they have children in the future, they will have a lot of face to go to another home. I can take you and dad to see the world together..."
Facing Zhang Gui's "sweet words", Li Manfen was rarely "controlled". He said that Li Manfen had the idea of "she's not bad".
