How to Thrive in the ’60s

She had just arrived in the provincial capital, and the only friend she knew was Yunshang. Chen Cuiqiao asked her to bring her friend to play at home, so she could only invite Yunshang.

At that time, Yunshang lived in the No. 1 courtyard where the high-level troops lived in a row of small bungalows, while Chen Cuiqiao lived in the No. 2 courtyard, although it was next door, but they lived in small bungalows.

Yun Shang followed her to Chen Cuiqiao's house to play twice, and then excused that the journey was too far away, and never went to Chen Cuiqiao's house again.

At that time, she didn't know that Chen Cuiqiao was trying to curry favor with Bai Siling's family through Yunshang, and she did it too obviously, which made Yunshang disgusted, and she simply thought that Yunshang didn't want to be friends with her, so she ran to question Yunshang.

Unexpectedly, Yunshang, who has always been soft and soft, like a soft bun, faced her questioning, and said in front of many children in the compound, "I have never made friends with you."

This remark made her lose face in the two courtyards, and Chen Cuiqiao's family also lost face.

Before Yunshang broke up with her, Chen Cuiqiao often boasted in the No. 2 compound that Commander Bai's daughter had a good relationship with her niece, and said that Yunshang often went to her house to play, and called her Aunt Chen affectionately.

Compound No. 2 lived in families of ordinary military officers, and many of them came from the countryside. They had a natural sense of awe for the most powerful figures in the military region, so they naturally didn't have the guts to ask whether Chen Cuiqiao was telling the truth.

In addition, Yunshang had indeed been to Chen Cuiqiao's house before, and those family members who did not know the truth believed it, thinking that Chen Cuiqiao was indeed on good terms with Bai Siling's family, and flattered her very much.

Even Chen Cuiqiao's man received a lot of care at work.

But Yunshang suddenly distanced herself from her, and used the most direct way to expose Chen Cuiqiao's lies. This was a blow to the head, which shattered the illusion that Chen Cuiqiao had created for a long time.

After the incident was over, Yun Shang was still the most beloved youngest daughter of the commander's family in the upper military region. Those arrogant children in the No. 1 compound saw that Tian'er tried to make friends with Yun Shang, wanted to curry favor with Yun Shang, and curry favor with Commander Bai .

And after she was humiliated by Yun Shang in public, her life at Chen Cuiqiao's house became difficult.

Every day she has to be busy washing the clothes of Chen Cuiqiao's family and making meals for the whole family, and because she has no house and no food rations, it is even more common for her to go hungry.

Even so, she didn't hate Yunshang too much, after all, she was used to such days at Lao Zhou's house.

A few months later, Gu Shinian also arrived in the provincial capital, and she ran over excitedly to say hello to Gu Shinian, but Gu Shinian didn't even look at her, and pulled Yun Shang straight into the No. 1 courtyard .

Being rejected by Yunshang, she can still comfort herself, saying that Yunshang is a soft bun, and those words are what the Commander asked her to say.

But being ignored by Gu Shinian, she couldn't accept it.

When he was in Fenyang, although Gu Shinian didn't talk to her often, he still took her under his wing and helped her teach Zhou Xiu and He Aidang many times.

He used to be so nice to her, why would he be the same as Yun Shang, ignoring her without any reason.

After thinking about it, she felt that Yun Shang had said bad things about her in front of Gu Shinian, so she chased and blocked Gu Shinian on the road, trying to explain clearly to him.

Unexpectedly, when she said that Yunshang provoked the relationship between her and Gu Shinian, Gu Shinian's whole person changed. For the first time, he looked at her with cold and disgusting eyes, warned her not to mention Yunshang's name, and said that she Not worthy of Yun Shang's kindness to her.

After returning home at night, she thought about it all night, but she never thought about when Yun Shang would be nice to her.

However, she figured out one thing, that is, Gu Shinian really didn't want to talk to her anymore.

After that time, she never looked for Gu Shinian again, and thought that she would soon forget these two childhood playmates.

But she didn't expect that with the passage of time, Gu Shinian's image not only did not become blurred, but also took root in her heart and grew into a towering tree.

She knew that Gu Shinian had a house in the provincial capital, and thinking that Chen Cuiqiao still had her 1,000 yuan and the money to buy the house, she discussed with Chen Cuiqiao that she wanted to buy a house and move out.

Unexpectedly, Chen Cuiqiao resolutely opposed her moving out on the pretext that the family needed money.

Later, Chen Cuiqiao's mouth twisted even more, and she refused to admit that she had taken her money.

She had no choice but to stay at Chen Cuiqiao's house and serve as a cow for that family.

When she finally got to the age of sixteen and graduated from junior high school, she was thinking about finding a job in a factory and leaving Chen Cuiqiao's house completely. The child stayed in the city, so he secretly reported her name and dispatched her to the remotest place.

On the train going to the countryside, she thought about the experiences of these years carefully, and suddenly found that all her misfortunes after arriving in the provincial capital were caused by Yun Shang's sentence "I have never made friends with you" back then. started.

Including that she was completely ignored by Gu Shinian later, it was also because Yun Shang didn't like her...

Thinking of her degrading in the countryside for decades, from a green girl to a thick peasant woman, thinking of Chen Cuiqiao's cousin who was supposed to go to the countryside calling her shameless in a disdainful tone, thinking of the son-in-law of the commander's family, and thinking of her return to the city. , the accident that happened to Gu Shinian, the chill in Erya's eyes became more and more intense...

Yunshang and Gu Shinian walked in front, and the driver Xiao Xue rode a bicycle crookedly behind them, chatting and turning around from time to time to look at the tightly covered sofa on the row car.

When they arrived at Xiaoyanglou, Gu Shinian and driver Xiao Xue pulled the old canvas off the sofa, and the simple and elegant beige sofa instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The children playing downstairs were the same as before, swarming up, watching and admiring, and some people asked Yunshang what kind of furniture was pulled on the car.

A few housewives heard the movement and came out to take a look, and then they ran down and circled the car a few times, or reached out to touch the smooth wooden frame of the sofa, or pressed the sponge cushion of the sofa to try Hardness.

There were also two women who looked like cadres who held Gu Shinian, and kept asking where he bought the sofa and how much it cost. Not only did he sell it, but he also wanted to buy one for his own home.

After dealing with the neighbors, the driver Xiao Xue and two workers pulling the row cart moved the sofa upstairs and placed it in the spacious and bright living room.

And Yunshang took a few palm-sized black clay pots from the car, filled them with water, and placed them on the partition wall with the help of the bottom bracket.

Using the cover of the satchel, I cut a few clusters of green radishes from the space and inserted them into clay pots. The flexible and slender branches of green radishes hang down from the partition to form a green wall, and the whole room is instantly full of vitality. sense.
