Winner in life

22.22 Traveling through 1972

Don’t blame Zhang Fen for asking. Although the two brothers were separated, she and her sisters got together at the eldest brother's house when they came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year last year. Today, when her family came over, why did she not speak to her younger brother and eldest brother?

"Last year, it was because we had just separated that we had a reunion dinner together and welcomed my sisters. This year, I have taken care of the trivial matters at home and have allowed my sisters to come to my house as guests." Ruihe did not want to tell Zhang. What Mr. and Mrs. Dashan does is with the palm of his hand and the back of his hand. Are these three sisters allowed to make choices? No need.

Zhang Fen smiled happily and looked around the room: "It is indeed much more tidy than before. When you get married, it will be even more tidy with a wife to help you!"

Her husband Huang Bin appeared at the door: "I saw the eldest sister and the third sister."

Zhang Ping and her husband Wu Congjun brought their eldest daughter Wu Meimei. Zhang Fang and her husband Jiang Qingguo brought their only son Jiang Hongbing. Two bicycles were parked in the yard. The children ran over as soon as they got off the bike. One shouted: "Uncle!" and the other shouted: "Uncle!"

Rui He hugged Wu Meimei and said hello to his two sisters and two brothers-in-law in turn. When it was time for dinner, the third sister's family ate at Zhang Dashan's house, and the eldest sister and the second sister's family ate at Ruihe's house. Ruihe prepared many dishes. His idea was simple: to make faces for his sisters, he could not let his brothers-in-law complain that they did not have enough food or good food at their parents' house when they went back.

While cooking, Zhang Ping was always frowning. One moment she said she wouldn't cook the sausage, and the other moment she said she shouldn't peel that taro. Ruihe knew that the eldest sister wanted to save things for herself, but how could she do so? Finally, we cooked a table of dishes and set the table sumptuously.

After the meal, the brothers-in-law went to sit next door. Zhang Ping finally had the opportunity to ask what she was concerned about: "Why did I hear someone said that one hundred and fifty yuan was lost in your house? Is it true or not?"

"There's really a burglar."

Zhang Fang came over: "No way! You didn't deposit the money in the bank?"

Rui He smiled bitterly. He would definitely remember this lesson for the rest of his life: "It's just a few days too late."

Zhang Fang took a breath: "One hundred and fifty yuan, if you have the ticket, you can buy a new bicycle." Zhang Ping glared at her, turned to comfort Ruihe: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, money If it's gone, it's gone. As long as you are healthy, you can make it back. Listen to my sister, if you have any extra money in the future, put it in a bank or a credit union. The country is the most reliable. You are not married yet, so hurry up and save more money. , now everyone pays attention to three turns and one ring, you are capable, my eldest sister is waiting for you to get married in style! I will make you a new groom's outfit when the time comes!"

"And I, Third Sister, will make shoes for you." Zhang Fang hurriedly followed suit to make sure.

Rui He blushed and didn't want to talk about this topic. As the eldest sister, Zhang Ping is very concerned about the lives of her younger siblings and won't let him escape at all: "You will be eighteen during the Chinese New Year. Do you have a girl you like? I think the lesbians in your bamboo factory are pretty good. They must be capable and amiable." You can talk, but you’re not searching for anything?”

"Sister!" Rui He jumped up immediately, "Meimei seems to have run away. I will go find her and come back."

"Hey!" Zhang Ping looked at his back and sighed, "How come such a big boy only likes reading."

Three sisters came over and bought Ruihe seven pairs of shoes and a lot of food, such as air-dried bacon, homemade pancakes, sweet potato pancakes, a bowl of wheat flour, a small bag of milled rice and a small bag of tomatoes grown on the private plot.

My sisters have a lot of in-laws, and there are many people working and eating, so there really isn’t much left.

This is also the norm in this era. Many people do farm work from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and the food they are given is not enough to eat. If the family is not hardworking enough and the private land is not taken care of carefully, then there will not even be a place for subsidies, and they can only Hungry. Therefore, the annual gifts brought by the sisters were not too light. After receiving them, Ruihe returned the gifts one by one.

Zhang Ping scolded him again: "We are the closest relatives, why are we being so polite? Don't worry! We have all given birth to children to our husband's family, and they don't dare to dislike us."

That’s not what the truth says.

"Sister, don't worry about me. I will go to work after the Chinese New Year. I will definitely make back the money I lost."

"Alas." Zhang Fen sighed.

Zhang Ping: "Why are you sighing? It's the Chinese New Year! I won't say much more when it's done. I'll be singing a big show on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. If you have time, come and take a look. I know you like reading, so just read it!" But you can’t hide at home all day long, you’re going to get rusty.”

After the sisters left, Ruihe stayed at home and read a book after visiting relatives for the next two days. On the seventh day of the lunar month, he walked for an hour and a half to watch a play at the eldest sister's place to reassure her. He really didn't go out after that. Soon the first month passed, the factory started operating, and Ruihe returned to work.

In the middle of the first month of the lunar calendar, Zhang Tiansheng came to him and said that he had captured Zhang Dashan.

"Oh, I have checked the numbers of the money you gave me before. Sure enough, your brother went to buy Zhang Conglu's house. I said hello to him early, and he sent it to me as soon as he received the money. After checking, there were exactly one hundred and fifty yuan. "I have already locked him up in the brigade. About this..." He frowned fiercely and asked Ruihe for his opinion. "I meant to let him give the money." Just take it back, you are brothers, don't make things too big, and the team's reputation will not be good. "

Ruihe shook his head, and Zhang Tian became anxious: "Xiaoshan, you are still young and don't understand these worldly things..."

This matter was really unpleasant. After discussing it with the captain, he felt that this matter should be suppressed and a fine would be fined quietly. The rest of the production team was fine, but Dudu Shangmeicun had this incident happen at the beginning of the new year, and the impact was really healed.

"Uncle Tiansheng, I didn't mean that." Ruihe said, "What you said makes sense, and I understand it. But Uncle Tiansheng, my brother and sister-in-law really went too far this time. Do you think any of the families have been divided?" Brothers in the family, would the eldest brother steal the younger brother's money? He would say that I have no respect for my elder brother.”

Zhang Tiansheng was thoughtful.

"Uncle Tian Sheng, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. My brother has done what he has done. It will be difficult for me to get along with him as my elder brother." Rui He pursed his lips, showing a sad expression. appearance. "I agree that this matter will not be made public. I am also worried that my brother will have a hard time being a good person in the future, but..."

Zhang Tiansheng asked: "Then what do you think?"

Ruihe said: "Ask my brother and sister-in-law to write a letter of guarantee to me and have their fingerprints printed."

"This is easy!" Zhang Tiansheng breathed a sigh of relief. The child was indeed soft-hearted. He thought the child wanted him to report the crimes of Dashan and his wife to the commune. "It's easy to write a guarantee letter! Just wait, I will send it to you after writing it, and then fine him ten yuan to give you compensation."

Ruihe also exhaled after sending Zhang Tiansheng away.

He was not angry. He knew that the smaller the place, the more humane it was. This was also the case in the village where his family lived before. His father also taught him that "harmony brings wealth."

Zhang Tiansheng and the others have taken this matter to heart and pursued it until now, and Rui He is very grateful. They each have their own difficulties, and he can understand it.

"I just want a guarantee letter. You're kind enough." Ruihe muttered, then turned around and went into the factory to continue working.

He told no one about this. That night he received the guarantee letter and ten yuan in compensation. While he was sleeping deeply at night, Zhang Dashan and his wife went home. Rui He vaguely heard someone crying in his dream, but he was too tired. He read at eleven o'clock at night, and his mental and physical exhaustion made him sleep deeply. When he got up the next day, he found out that the couple next door had been released. Back.

"I seemed to hear a woman crying last night. Could it be my sister-in-law?" Ruihe thought while brushing his teeth. But until he left for work, the door next door didn't open. He was stopped by Zhang Tiansheng in the alley: "Where are your brother and sister-in-law? Are you not going to the field today?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen anyone this morning. Why don't you go take a look?"

Zhang Tiansheng handed the gong to the others: "I'll go and take a look. This enlightenment is not enough!" He was very angry in his words.

When Ruihe went home to cook at noon, he saw Zhang Dashan washing rice by the well. When he saw him, his face darkened, and then he gave him a stiff smile out of nowhere and said, "Are you back?"

Ruihe nodded and walked over.

After he entered the house, Zhang Dashan pinched the edge of the well and his face was livid, with a storm brewing in his eyes. But he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he had calmed down. He washed the rice and went into the kitchen. After the meal is ready, I go next door to call my wife Gao Li. Gao Li refused to go out, his face and muscles twitched, and finally he brought the food into the house without saying anything.

Gao Li, Zhang's sister-in-law, felt that she was ugly and refused to work in the fields, complaining that she had fetal motility. Gao Dashan was worried about the child in her belly and did not dare to say anything. But it stayed like this for more than a week. When he came back from work, the stove was cold and the pot was cold. He had to cook the food himself and bring it to the house for his wife to eat. He was the only one working in the private area at home. People tend to have bad tempers when they are busy and tired. As time went by, Zhang Dashan became impatient, and conflicts between husband and wife began to occur frequently.

Conflict is like a gap, causing rifts in the relationship between husband and wife. In the days that followed, Zhang Dashan and his wife often had quarrels. Rui He could often hear the quarrels next door. He was a little surprised that the couple who had loved and supported each other in their previous lives would often do so in this life. Discord, from quarreling in a suppressed voice to yelling at each other, as if they no longer care about the eyes of others.

The movement also made Ruihe guess: If Mrs. Zhang hadn't been pregnant with the child, the two of them might have taken action.

"They deserve it... right?" Rui He has a good personality, but that doesn't mean he has no temper. He also asked System 460: "Do you think Xiao Shan would be happy if he saw it?"

"...Yes." System 460 secretly took a look at the task progress, and it showed 9%. The disagreement between Zhang Dashan and his wife suddenly increased the progress by two percentage points. It seems that recovering the money and letting Zhang Dashan and his wife get The client is satisfied with the punishment. However, this is not something that can be disclosed to the host. If the host keeps track of the progress of the task, then the host is very likely to keep trying and probing. In that case, the difficulty of the task will be greatly reduced. This is not the company's original intention.

"I think he will be happy. The money will be returned, and those two people will also be punished." Rui He counted his savings on his fingers. He now saves money once a month and is no longer lazy. Now he has saved Six hundred dollars. His heart became calmer every time he counted. After counting, the fatigue of reading completely disappeared, and Ruihe devoted himself to studying again.

Next month is the final exam for the village primary school. According to Xu Caiheng, if Ruihe performs normally, he will definitely be able to pass the commune middle school.

In mid-June, the graduation exam was held, and Rui He and Li Dashui took leave for the first time to take the exam.
