From Cultivator to Widow

At this time, it was close to evening, and some of the fast-working people had already finished their work and went home. Su Hui did not go to the ground today, but went up the mountain to collect the pine needles that were easy to catch fire.

Zhang Anguo walked slowly with Guan Shaoli, and Zhang Dingguo trotted to report to his mother first: "Mom, mom, Uncle Tanuki is here!"

Su An walked out from the kitchen, wiping the water off her hands, and saw Guan Shaoli: "Long time no see."

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo also ran out.

Zhang Baoguo remembered it most clearly. He still remembered what he looked like, and he wrote the letter again, and called out kindly, "Uncle civet cat."

Guan Shaoli laughed and touched Zhang Baoguo's hair: "I haven't seen you for a while, you've grown a lot taller."

Zhang Baoguo smiled: "That's right, what I eat is not fake, look at my muscles."

Guan Shaoli squeezed the flesh on his arm, it was not soft, he gave a thumbs up: "Keep it up!"

After the greeting, he followed into the house and put down the package.

"Work here, stop by, come and see."

Zhang Anguo remembered something: "When Uncle Tanuki came just now, I saw Brother Hall, and he ran home."

Guan Shaoli took something out of the package: "I was going to visit, do you want to go together?" He didn't eat there when he came last time, he just sat down and left.

"In that case, Wei Guo, go and talk to your grandparents. We'll go over there for dinner later. I'll go there later and bring our rations with me."

When Zhang Jinhua went back, his grandfather and father had not returned, but his grandmother and his mother were there. He went to the kitchen and found their grandmother smoothly: "Grandma! I saw a man enter the village just now, he is the second uncle. comrade-in-arms, now he's going to the second aunt's side."

Li Manfen: "Tell me carefully, who did you see?"

After asking clearly, Li Manfen was about to let his grandson go over to check the situation when Zhang Weiguo came over: "Grandma, is grandpa back? My dad's comrades in arms came to see us, and my mom said, come here for a meal later, She came later and brought her rations."

Zhao Laidi's face darkened when she heard him say that she came here for dinner. At the end, she said to bring the rations, and she calmed down. With so many people, it would be quite a lot to eat in one meal. It is a family of two, and she is not used to this problem.

"okay, I get it."

Li Manfen neatly instructed his eldest granddaughter Zhang Fenghua: "Go to the field to call your father and your grandfather and let them go home early."

Then he instructed his second granddaughter Zhang Xihua: "Go pick two more handfuls of vegetables and come back."

Finally, the youngest granddaughter: "You come to the kitchen to help make the fire."

Zhang Jinhua pointed at himself: "Grandma, what am I going to do?"

Li Manfen smiled: "You are at home, they will come over later."

After getting the message, Zhang Gen and Zhang Quan sped up their actions to close the end and go home.

Because the clothes he was wearing today were so shitty, Zhang Gen also changed his clothes for himself, not to mention how good it is, just don't be too torn.

After Zhang Weiguo came back, Su An asked him to help him bring food to Guan Shaoli's colleague in the car. He was still driving in the car.

Come here, although we can't have a meal at the same table, we can still provide a warm meal.

Sometimes the village is big, and sometimes it is small. At this time, it is very small. It didn't take long for people who were idle to know who was coming from Su Hui's house. On the road over there, from time to time, acquaintances can come up, say a few words, and then catch up with Guan Shaoli. Although they only said a few words to each other, there are many people, which makes this road a little long.

"Uncle, aunt, long time no see, I will give you a cup of tea instead of wine." Guan Shaoli straightened his back and offered them a cup of tea.

There is no wine, and wine is made from grain. Zhang Gen does not have this addiction to alcohol, nor does Zhang Quan and the others. They all use wild tea or flower tea instead.

He and his son used to be comrades-in-arms, but now he changed his career as a driver. He could run around and eat imperial food. He was decent and treated well. There was no reason to treat him as a guest.

Li Manfen hurry up, cut a plate of bacon, fried a plate of sausages, touched two eggs, beat the egg soup, added shredded bacon and fried vegetables, and the last dish was kelp.

Su An kept what she had given to her, and she was reluctant to eat it. There was still a lot left, and she just took it out now.

Comrades-in-arms have a very strong relationship. When one party passes away, it is really not news that they are able to take care of some comrades-in-arms' families.

They merged two tables and sat crowded together in a lively atmosphere.

Neither of the two parties mentioned sensational topics, and they would not be too sad. The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.

It was almost time for Guan Shaoli to bid farewell.

"I'm going back, and I still have a mission."

"Don't delay, business matters!"

Li Manfen packed up a large bag of things, all of which were harvested from the mountains this year, and picked the best ones.

"We don't have anything, that's all, take it back and add some vegetables to the house."

After some resignation, Guan Shaoli accepted it.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were no new villagers on the road.

The four children were laughing in front of them, walking towards the house together, Guan Shaoli controlled the supplementary payment and slowly opened a distance.

"There's something I want to ask of you."

"You said."

At the dining table just now, Guan Shaoli asked a lot about their village, and she had some guesses.

"I have a friend's teacher who is going to be sent to reform through labor. The location is in Li Village. He is a professor at Capital University. He is a person who is obsessed with academics. Sometimes it's convenient to take care of it."

In fact, there were several when they selected the location, but after seeing the familiar name, they settled on Li Village.

As far as Guan Shaoli knew, this village is not bad, the atmosphere is okay, and there are people who know, who can take care of it.

Being obsessed with academics means having nothing to do with politics.

Su An nodded: "It's inconvenient to communicate on the public side, but I can make it easier for him in private."

Guan Shaoli breathed a sigh of relief: "Please." He took out a small cloth bag from his arms: "This is my friend's heart, please accept it."

Su An looked at him for a while and accepted: "Okay, what's his name."

Guan Shaoli: "Literature."

"Yeah." University professor, he must know a lot.

"What did he teach?"

Guan Shaoli keenly felt that something was wrong, was it time to care about what he taught?

"…math"

"Math is pretty good, and it's the foundation of many subjects."

"...Yeah." He didn't understand.

"Is the time set? When will it come?"

"Estimated in a month."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. I'll write a little bit of his information to you in the letter, and you can show it to your friends."

Zhang Anguo turned around and saw that his mother and Uncle Civet were walking so slowly, and trotted over: "Mom, you are walking so slowly."

After the conversation was over, Guan Shaoli laughed and carried him up: "Then I'm going to speed up!"

"Wow - you put me down"

Su An took the things that she had prepared before to Guan Shaoli, and exchanged courtesy with each other.

Among them, there are mosquito repellent kits that his colleagues are thinking about.

—

Su An didn't know much about the situation in the bullpen before, but after being asked by Guan Shaoli, she made a special observation.

There are two cows in their village. These two cows are the treasures of their village. They have a special cowshed, which will not let them experience the wind and the sun. Next to the cowshed is the place where the people who have been sent down live.

Living conditions... First of all, it has a great taste. It is right next to the cowshed, separated by a wall, and separated by a road. It is the pigsty in the village.

They were in one room, separated by a wall in the middle, with men on the left and women on the right, and the kitchen in front. Inside was like a family. There was nothing but straw.

However, because the place where they lived was built by someone who was devolved, it was relatively new, the walls were thicker, the roof leaking would not be too serious, and people could still live there, and their captain had the highest authority and prestige. Supreme, doing things fairly, he doesn't like pulling people out from time to time, unless someone above comes to check, their life is easier.

In some villages, people who have never even had the chance to meet before have been sent down, and they are asked to do the dirtiest and most tiring work to reform their minds. The dirty and tiring work is not counted as being left to them. Accept everyone's rotten egg vegetable leaves, life is better than death.

Here, the five of them lived fairly peacefully, retaining a little dignity.

There are now five people living in the cowshed, three men and two women, one of whom is a husband and wife.

The husband and wife were named Zhou Fang and the woman was Han Mei. They were researchers before.

The other two men, one was a former cadre, the other was a capitalist, and the last woman was also a capitalist who had gone abroad and stayed abroad.

Such people originally had no contact with the villagers, but because of the times, they are now doing the dirtiest work in the village. They basically don’t walk around the village on weekdays. They are bound in a small place and live numbly. .

The place where the pigs are raised is downwind, and it is two directions from Su Hui's house. She usually doesn't go anywhere, and the smell is great. She first learned the news from self-love, and deliberately went around there a few more times.

The five people in the bullpen are not too young, and I don't know the exact age, but all of them have white hair, and the experience that life has brought to them clearly shows on their faces.

Get up at dawn, go to feed the pigs, clean the pigsty, pick the swill, compost... There are people all the way.

These livestock are very valuable, and they are all handed over to these outsiders. The village will not be relieved. There is a small scorpion in the upper wind. There are people there every night, and there are others during the day, to ensure that even if a few of them break down Hearts can stop them.

It was her special attention that she discovered something else.

Seeing Xie Rui hurriedly bumped into someone and then left quickly, she assured with her good eyesight that Xie Rui stuffed something into Zhou Fang's pocket, less than the size of an adult man's fist, he bowed down and blocked it with a bucket He went back to the bullpen soon, and when he came out again, his pocket was flat.

Is Xie Rui related to Zhou Fang?

Although they didn't say a word, the act of giving something can't be explained with compassion, right?

Su Hui helped the basket on her back and looked at the drowsy sky, it was getting late, she should have gone back earlier.

After returning, Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo were already busy in the kitchen because it was not early. Zhang Anguo was waiting at the door of the house. When he saw his mother coming back, he cheered: "Mom, you are back!"

"It's too late today." Su An explained, put down the basket, and took down the wild vegetables inside, revealing a pile of dried fungus, two hares, and a nest of wild duck eggs.

Zhang Baoguo made eight-treasure porridge, but this eight-treasure porridge was salty.

He made 8 samples using rice, peanuts, kidney beans, red beans, etc.

However, the porridge was a bit too thick due to too little water.

Zhang Baoguo came over to see the harvest in his mother's back basket, and Su An also asked, "What do you want to use these two rabbits for?"

Without thinking, Zhang Baoguo blurted out, "One is air-dried, and the other is braised!"

Zhang Weiguo nodded while watching the fire: "Air-dried rabbit meat is delicious!"

"Okay, then one is braised and the other is air-dried."

...

Su An dressed up in disguise and got into the car to the city again.

Xiao Gu has been living a good life recently. Since he helped Big Brother Su and entertained the mother and son, he may have given him a lot of supplies out of gratitude, except for his irresistible variety of sauces In addition, there are all kinds of meat, including wild boar, pheasant, mountain rabbit, even venison, wolf, and recently, he brought him a lot of food.

It's all white rice, top quality.

The amount added up made him a little shocked.

It happened that he found a reliable helper, otherwise he would not be able to bring these to a safe place.

These grains were naturally harvested by Su An in the mustard seed space. She had enough food for herself, and she planned to sell the excess. When the old ones were eaten, the new ones would also be harvested.

Su Hui came to the city for another purpose, which was to collect some items that would appreciate in value in the future.

Stamps are one of the best collections, as long as the post office has them, no matter which edition you want, it doesn't matter if the quantity is larger.

Su Hui also asked Guan Shaoli to help her, and asked him to go to a place with local characteristics and tickets to help her bring some.

In addition to stamps, there are also special people in the black market to collect all kinds of property.

At that time, she was looking at an uncle washing the toilet, entered an alley, and took out a bag of refined grains from it.

He used to be a businessman, and then he became a capitalist, and everything at home was gone. But more or less something will remain.

This time, he exchanged food for a gold ring.

Su An went in and walked around.

She was a new face there, and didn't gain much. The second time she went, her attitude was much better. The uncle who sold the villain book showed her a lot of good things.

Small yellow croaker, gold ornaments and silver ornaments, gemstone necklaces, jade wrench fingers, etc.

At that time, Su An exchanged money for the gemstone necklace, which was very cheap, less than one hundred yuan.

But it would be more cost-effective to use high-quality rice, but at that time she had already given the packed rice to Xiao Gu.

In later generations, the value of gems and grain will be far different, but now, grain is the hard currency, and there is almost no market for luxury goods such as gems. You have to worry about whether you will be detained. For the sake of safety, you can only accumulate dust in the box.

This time, she packed all the excess rice in sacks, and planned to go to the stall owner who sold the villain book to have a look and sell the rice to him in exchange for more good things.
