Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. "I haven't seen it recently. There is really a hair. Can you feel it?"

At this time, the lights were off. Ruihe had already touched the bed and was about to cover the quilt. Li Dashui stuffed the hair into your hand: "Touch it. Is it long and curly?"

In the dark, Ruihe caught the hair. He slowly stroked it from the beginning to the end. It was really about 30 centimeters long and a little thick and curly. In the dark night, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. All the strange things he had heard of jumped out, and his hands trembled with fear.

"I didn't lie to you, there is really a hair, it's really not your girlfriend's?"

Ruihe was scared to death!

Li Dashui led his thinking into the ditch, and he really suspected that it was left by a female ghost? He got goose bumps when he thought about it. He was quite courageous, but he was afraid of ghosts.

"I'll go light the lamp!"

Ruihe jumped up and lit the kerosene lamp in the dark.

Li Dashui was frightened by his friend's trembling voice and said hurriedly: "What's wrong?" Ruihe had already lit the kerosene lamp. His face looked extremely pale and weird under the light. Li Dashui was startled: "What's wrong with you? You look scared?"

"I really don't have a partner. I don't know where this hair came from."

A chill rushed to his head, and Li Dashui also stuttered: "Oh, oh, it's not a partner..."

Both of them were speechless about the hair. Li Dashui rolled his eyes: "Could it be that the wind blew it up when you were drying the quilt?"

"It's possible. Where did you find the hair?"

"It's hanging on the mosquito net. I sat cross-legged on the bed and looked up and saw it."

Ruihe frowned: "I didn't see it when I got up in the morning." A few days ago, on the 26th day of the lunar calendar, he did a big cleaning. He washed all the sheets, mosquito nets, pillowcases, etc. at home, dried them, and carefully put them in the house. There was a strange woman's long hair in the house, especially in such a private place as the bed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt scared.

Li Dashui said hurriedly: "You must have been careless when you were drying it, and brought the hair that accidentally fell on it into the house. It's nothing. Doesn't your sister-in-law next door have long hair?" He also knew that his friend was afraid of ghosts. He usually wanted to share the comic books he read with his friend. When Xiaoshan talked about ghost stories, he jumped up and covered his ears. Seeing his friend's frightened look, he regretted it very much. If he had known, he would have rolled up his hair and thrown it away. Xiaoshan was in a bad mood, and now he scared himself. He didn't need to sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, he immediately threw his hair into the dustpan: "Okay, go to bed. Xiaoshan? Xiaoshan?"

I don't know when the fear on Ruihe's face disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful look.

The same dark yellow curly hair as his sister-in-law.

It seemed that a light flashed in his mind, and his thoughts became clear all of a sudden.

Zhang Dashan borrowed 200 yuan from him two days ago, and the couple went out one after another and parted unhappily.

They were not at home today, and they haven't even come back yet.

The eldest sister-in-law Gao Li has curly hair. It is said that she inherited it from her mother. The other three sisters in her family have thick curly hair, like ponytails.

Such long hair, Dashui can see it from the mosquito net at a glance in the dark at night. Ruihe doesn't believe that he didn't see it when he hung the mosquito net and when he got in and out of bed every day these days. Today is the 28th day of the lunar calendar. Zhang's eldest sister-in-law came to his house on the morning of the 25th, and he did the general cleaning on the 26th day of the lunar calendar. No matter what, it is hard to explain how this long curly hair appeared in his mosquito net.

He didn't want to think about Zhang Dashan and his wife like this, but there was a voice in his heart telling him: It was them who stole it, it was them who stole it.

"Xiaoshan, what's wrong with you?"

Ruihe was overwhelmed by this thought and his head hurt. He urgently needed someone to talk to, but he swallowed the words back before he said them.

He couldn't say anything, it was just his guess. Dashui was kind and good, but he was too impulsive. So Ruihe forced a smile: "It's okay, I just had a stomachache, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Okay, come to bed quickly, it's already late."

Ruihe agreed, but carefully put the hair away.

The next day, Zhang Dashan and his wife still didn't come back. When Ruihe came back from Zhang Tiansheng's house, not only the cakes in his hand were gone, but also the hair wrapped in white paper in his pocket was gone.

In the afternoon, Xu Caiheng brought his newlywed wife to Ruihe's house. Zhang Qingnan was dressed like a bride, wearing a brand new bright red cotton coat, and her hair was tied with a red rope, looking very happy. As soon as she entered the door, she greeted him warmly: "I often hear Brother Cai Heng mention you. Thank you for coming to our wedding yesterday. I didn't have the chance to greet you at that time. Today, Brother Cai Heng said he wanted to see you, so I followed him."

Zhang Qingnan had a good impression of Ruihe. Not everyone would give their partner tuition fees. She liked students who clearly marked the price for tutoring and were not lacking in courtesy during festivals. Seeing that her brother Cai Heng's hard work was rewarded, she was also happy.

In addition to the wedding gift money yesterday, she also saw the gift money given by Brother Cai Heng, an older student. It was a full five yuan, and there were two packs of snacks and two enamel pots. It was heavier than the gifts given by some close relatives from her natal family, which made her have a better impression of Ruihe.

Ruihe didn't know this, but felt that Mr. Xu, the newlywed wife, was really warm and generous. He quickly poured water for the two of them: "Do you want boiled water or orange jam?"

"Jam, Brother Cai Heng said it tastes good."

"Then take a jar back later."

"No, no, no." Zhang Qingnan waved his hands hurriedly, "How embarrassing."

"It's not a valuable thing." Rui He pursed his lips and smiled. After pouring the water, he sat down and looked at Xu Caiheng and Xu Caiheng curiously: "Why didn't you two go play? I heard that people are getting married and going on their honeymoon, so they just play around. ”

"Just came back from town." Xu Caiheng said worriedly, "I heard that your home was robbed and one hundred and fifty yuan was stolen?" Seeing Ruihe nodding, he said angrily, "I went to the countryside to We have been here for almost five years, and we have never heard of such a big theft. The thief is so evil." He knew how hard the student in front of him worked to make money and study, and he also knew that he wanted to work hard for another half a year after the New Year. I have to go to middle school for half a year.

After trying so hard to save money, Xu Caiheng lost one hundred and fifty yuan, which made Xu Caiheng feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

"Don't worry too much. Prepare for the fifth grade courses first. When school starts in the next year, I will help you apply for a school certificate. Take the final exam in June and your dream will definitely come true." A person who wants to study Xu Caiheng admires and supports people very much, and is willing to do his best to help each other.

Ruihe knew as soon as he heard that it turned out that Xu Caiheng came to visit him after hearing that something happened at his home. He was very moved and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Xu, put it down. This incident has taught me a lesson. I will be careful in the future." . Even if the thief can’t catch the money and I can’t get it back, I’ve given it up. As long as I work harder in the new year, I can still make the money back.”

His positive attitude made Xu Caiheng feel relieved: "Then I'm relieved. By the way, Qingnan and I just went to town to play, and happened to find this set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" in a store that recycles old items. You I mentioned it before so I paid attention.”

Xu Caiheng took down the bag of snacks from the basket. Ruihe had given him several baskets that he had made himself. After getting used to them, he often used these baskets to put things in when he went out.

Xu Caiheng first put the snacks on the table and said: "This is a red peach made by me at home. You can steam it and heat it up before eating it. If you are not afraid of using oil, you can also fry it. It tastes better if you fry it." Get what's under the basket. Ruihe's eyes were glued to the basket until Xu Caiheng took out a stack of books.

"I've asked around. There are seventeen volumes in this set of books, but I only found eleven in the junk shop. I'll look for the others later to see if I can get them together."

"Thank you so much!" Rui He was already very happy, smiling as he stroked the books with damaged covers. The books had a musty smell and an indescribable odor, but he cherished it and opened them one by one. Take a look.

Seeing this, Xu Caiheng also smiled: "I knew you would be happy. I have read them all. Although these books look wrinkled, there are no missing pages. In fact, this set of books is not necessary after you enter middle school. Yes, middle schools also have textbooks.”

"I just heard from others that the Shanghai Publishing House printed them very well. How much do these books cost? I'll pay them back to you."

"There's no need!" Xu Caiheng glanced at his wife, and Zhang Qingnan stood up, "It's getting late and we have to go home to cook. Come visit our house another day when you have time."

How could Xu Caiheng spend money in vain? Rui He insisted on giving it, and Xu Caiheng smiled bitterly: "I really don't want it. No one wants this book in the junk recycling store. If I don't buy it, I will be sent to the recycling factory. I bought it by the pound and it cost less than 100 yuan." Fifty cents, don’t be polite to me.”

The two of them were pushing and shoving at the door, and Zhang Qingnan stamped his foot: "Xiaoshan, if you are so polite again, we won't dare to come to the door again. Take the money back quickly. Look, someone is coming and saw us pushing around here. How ugly.”

Ruihe's eyes fell on the people who pushed open the fence door and walked in. It turned out that Zhang Dashan and his wife were back. They were carrying large bags and small bags, with faces beaming with joy.

Xu Caiheng took advantage of his distraction and quickly got on his bicycle, turned around, and called his wife to get on: "We're leaving now. Goodbye."

Zhang Qingnan sat on the horizontal bar, raised his head and beckoned Ruihe: "Goodbye."

Ruihe couldn't laugh or cry, and wrote down the friendship between Mr. Xu and his wife. The smiles on their faces disappeared when they turned around. Zhang Dashan and his wife had stopped walking. I don't know if Rui He had suspicions in his heart, but he always felt that something was wrong with the expressions on their faces.

"Brother and sister-in-law, where have you been? You didn't come back last night."

In this way, three months after coming to this world, Ruihe left the village for the first time. There was a bicycle in the factory, and the old workers who could ride bicycles were the first to carry the bamboo baskets. The remaining large quantities were pulled by oxcarts. Ruihe sat on the outside edge of the oxcart and supported the pile behind him, which was higher than one person. Bamboo basket, swaying towards the city.

Along the way, Ruihe looked around with wide eyes at the pedestrians wearing gray clothes. Some were carrying backpacks, and some were carrying baskets. Children were laughing and running past. A girl fell down but did not cry. She got up and continued to chase: "Brother, wait for me! Brother!"

Ruihe watched intently until the girl's voice disappeared on the dusty dirt road. He turned around and saw a shop on the side of the road with the words "Patriotic Juice Shop" written on it. It said it was a juice shop. In fact, there was a sign next to it that said "Patriotic Juice", "Fried Juice", "Soup Noodles", etc. in big letters, indicating what it sold. Quite a few. He swallowed unconsciously after thinking for a moment.

?The sauce is a local specialty. It is steamed thin slices made from rice flour slurry ground with glutinous rice and water. It is cut into triangular pieces and cooked like noodles. Braised dried tofu, yuba, braised pork belly and Stewed pig fat intestines, pork rice noodles and other foods taste smooth and chewy. The soup has the rich aroma of both rice and marinade.

Just by exploring Zhang Xiaoshan's memories, Ruihe drooled all over the floor and felt his stomach growling.

That store is state-owned. In fact, it is open for one day and also serves late-night snacks. Food stamps are required for meals. A bowl of juice costs thirty cents and two taels of food stamps.

Now Ruihe doesn't have a penny on him. Zhang Dashan and his wife kept all the tickets at home, and he didn't have any of them. Even if there was, he would not be willing to eat such a bowl of rich juice.

He looked at it for a long time, and his eyes were still there after the bullock cart passed by. Mingyong, who was riding in the same cart, smiled and said, "Want to try it? It's more affordable to cook it at home. You can use your food stamps to buy some glutinous rice and bring it to the village." The tofu mill costs only a penny per kilogram, and you can make the rice flour syrup at home. "

Rui He smiled and nodded: "Okay." He now knew how to get food stamps, so he would not rush to ask where to get food stamps.

"Well, it's better than before. I remember when I was a kid, there were a lot of breakfast stalls and late-night snack stalls on the roadside. A bowl of juice only cost a dime." Mingyong sighed, "It's not like now. You have to use whatever you buy. Ticket. Alas! "He is already twenty-seven years old, it is easy to get married!" Recently, he had to work overtime and purchase wedding supplies, and he was so tired that he lost weight.

In this age of the world, there are really many things that surprise Rui He. For example, this ticket is completely unheard of. He rummaged through Zhang Xiaoshan's memory. It seemed that in another five or six years, what kind of "reform and opening up" would there be? After that, the country began to undergo great changes. First, cloth stamps were cancelled, and then grain and oil stamps were cancelled. When Zhang Xiaoshan was thirty-seven, all stamps disappeared. You can buy many things with money in the market. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you like. .

Ruihe plans to save a lot of money before he can buy what he wants. Like a house, it is imperative to separate the family, but the house at home is also very old. It is the house left by the original owner's parents, and it must be more than thirty years old.

And after reading Zhang Xiaoshan's memories, he knew that the future world would develop even better, with peace and prosperity. These were scenery that Ruihe had never seen before. He wanted to take a look and learn from it. As long as he works hard, he can get what he wants. This is such an exciting world.

He needs to be literate, see the world, and learn skills.

He wants to grow up and be his sister's support when he returns home.

After seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's memory, Ruihe had a deeper plan for the future. The future is bright, and he will move towards that light.

The first priority now is to make money.

The ox cart was not walking fast, and it had only gone halfway when lunch time came. The ox cart stopped under a big tree on the side of the road, and the workers spread out in twos and threes to find something to eat. Rui He didn't know that he would be sent out to deliver goods today. He didn't bring anything with him. He sat under a tree to enjoy the cool weather and waited for others to come back.

Mingyong came back with a bun in his mouth and two more in his hand. Seeing Ruihe sitting under the tree, he asked in surprise: "Have you finished eating so soon? Are you the only one?"

Rui He was a little embarrassed: "Well, it's just me."

There was nothing to say between the two of them. Ming Yong finished the buns in a few mouthfuls and leaned against the tree and burped. Ruihe suddenly heard him speak: "Our job is not difficult at all, but the management requirements are very high. Every bamboo basket must be made the best. Some people with three-legged cat kung fu can't do it. I just joined the factory At the worst time, I could only make two baskets a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I didn’t want to be a steward if I couldn’t do it well. I had to dismantle and tie it up. If I dismantled it twice more, the bamboo pieces were damaged and I had to peel them again. Bamboo pieces.”

Ruihe has heard about this matter. He heard that because of such strictness, the factory's products are selling well. He heard that they have been selling bread bowls abroad in recent years, which makes them very embarrassed.

"I heard that your team is the best among the new workers. You are the one doing all the bamboo basket making? That's great. Having a good craft can last a lifetime. If you do well in the future, I will be happy. "Mingyong patted Rui He on the shoulder and gave him the last bun, "Eat it, and be kind to yourself when you get your salary. The stomach is the last thing you can bully. If you bully it for one day, it will be there for the rest of your life. I have to take revenge on you. I’ll go to the villager’s house and ask for some well water, and you can watch the car.”

Rui He didn't expect that Ming Yong encouraged him first and finally gave him a bun. He was very moved and slowly ate the buns. The buns were filled with cabbage and were a little warm. After eating, he stood up and faced Mingyong. Mingyong fetched five bamboo tubes of well water and gave one tube to Ruihe: "Although it's hot, don't rush. Drink coaxingly and take a little sip.”

He hung other bamboo tubes on the bamboo basket: "This is all experience. If you have to go out temporarily in the future, you can bring it with you."

Rui He nodded gratefully: "I understand."

When other workers came back one after another, the three oxcarts continued to move. They delivered the bamboo baskets to the main bamboo factory in the city and rested there for a while. Mingyong said, "If you want to go shopping, go shopping. It's five o'clock." It’s time to gather and go home. If you miss it, just walk back by yourself.”

"Yeah!"

Watching the other workers disperse, Ruihe also walked out. Their bullock carts were parked in the receiving factory without fear of being stolen.

After walking out of the door, Ruihe was a little at a loss. After looking around, he followed the direction Mingyong went.

The city is so lively! The clothes people wear are also somewhat different from those worn by people in Shangmei Village. They seem to be better, and the streets are paved with cement, making it easier to walk. What attracts Ruihe's attention are the shops. Ruihe can't take his eyes off each store. . After coming here for several months, this was the first time he saw such a prosperous scene.

Only he didn't dare to go in. He followed Mingyong and kept walking until he saw Mingyong walking into a building. The building had two floors and a long signboard hung outside. The signboard had a bright red background, white fonts, and a golden light in the middle. The pentagon looks very impressive.

"Then it says Jinfeng Road Department Store." System 460 spoke.

Rui He hurriedly wrote it down, staring at the seven words and scratching his fingers on his thigh, "Ding Ding Ding Ding——" There were many people coming in and out next to him, and another bicycle flew past him, Rui He did not dare to go any further. He blocked the door, pulled up his clothes, and walked in carefully.

As soon as he entered, his eyes couldn't get enough of it. Rows of glass cabinets lay horizontally, and rows of wooden shelves stood vertically against the wall. Both cabinets and shelves were filled with things, and a well-dressed and clean clerk stood behind them. Clothes, pots and pans, pastries, clocks and alarm clocks, shoes... so much more! Too many! There are much more things than the supply and marketing cooperative in the village.

There are many paintings on the walls, some of them are farmers digging the ground with hoes, some are reading books, and there are also several children holding flowers with bright smiles on their faces. Up and down, Ruihe's sight was tightly squeezed. He almost turned his body in a full circle, and then another circle, and his eyes couldn't see enough.

"Oops." He accidentally bumped into a young woman, and the woman shouted softly, which made Ruihe recover and apologize quickly.

"It doesn't matter, just watch the road carefully." The young woman smiled and walked towards the other road. Ruihe followed her and saw a woman at a counter saying, "Give me a handkerchief, the kind that is pink and reflects the lotus."

"Hey Xiaoshan!"

Ruihe turned his head, and Mingyong was looking at him in surprise: "You came to the department store too?" Seeing Ruihe's confused look, Mingyong strode over and grabbed him: "Follow me, don't get stuck here. . Why are you here? What do you want to buy?”

"I took a look, but he hasn't been here either."

Mingyong smiled: "Come on, follow me. We will go back together in a while."

So Ruihe followed Mingyong to a counter. The counter was full of boxes and bottles, and the tip of his nose was filled with a rich aroma. "Honoka said she wanted to buy hair oil. Why should I use it on my hair in this summer? It's so greasy! Oh."

The salesperson smiled and said: "This is osmanthus hair oil. Apply it to your hair after washing. It will make your hair black, shiny and moisturized. It also smells delicious. It costs 80 cents a bottle, do you want it?"

Ming Yong gritted his teeth: "Give me a bottle."

Rui He stood aside and looked at the things on the counter curiously, thinking that it was very similar to the rouge that the little maids bought from the sellers at the back door. It turned out that the girls here also had to dress up.

"Let's go over there and take a look. I also want to buy two enamel jars with happy characters on them."
