Chapter 39 It’s exciting to watch.
The busy farming season is about to begin, and the plan for the literacy class can only be put on hold temporarily. However, the enthusiasm of Su Changhe's family in the east end of the village to prepare for the engagement banquet has been high, and they are not at all scorned because of the upcoming busy farming season.
"Did you hear about it? Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei went around asking people to exchange cloth tickets, meat tickets and industrial tickets. It seems that Su Zijie and Xu Jiaojiao's marriage is a certainty."
"Isn't it obvious that the lice on the monk's head are there!
"That old lady Wang Chunmei is also very good. She can jump with only one leg." "
Don't you see, that old lady is walking with a proud look on her face? Oh, I don't care about her." Poor Shen family's three girls, not to mention their poor health, they will have to carry the reputation of being second-hand goods in the future..."
"The Shen family's three girls will probably only find a widower whose mother-in-law died or a very poor old bachelor. "
Wang Chunmei and Su Changhe can only be considered unlucky for the three girls of the Shen family."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Wang Meili, who was squatting in the field and pulling weeds, picked up a piece of dirt and threw it. A few steps away, in front of Tian Xiaorou, Tian Xiaorou, who was listening to gossip with pointed ears, was disturbed by this interruption and raised her eyes somewhat displeased.
Seeing Tian Xiaorou looking over, Wang Meili hooked her fingers and motioned for Tian Xiaorou to come closer.
Tian Xiaorou lowered her eyes to hide the boredom in her eyes, and slowly moved over.
"Do you know who the third girl of the Shen family they are talking about is?" Wang Meili whispered.
"I don't know!" Tian Xiaorou shook his head.
Compared with other production teams in Panshi Village, the Ten Production Team is small, but there are hundreds of people, old and young, in total.
I have been here for a few days, working at dawn and finishing at dusk. I have been in the fields all day long. I have no time to find out who the three girls of the Shen family who are at the center of the gossip are.
I don't know when such days will end.
"Remember the girl who rode the bullock cart with us that day?" Wang Meili gave Tian Xiaorou a meaningful look.
"You mean, that girl is... the third girl of the Shen family?" Tian Xiaorou's eyes widened in shock.
Wang Chunmei, Su Changhe, the old Su family and the three girls of the Shen family who have been listening for a few days...
Wang Meili looked around carefully and lowered her voice, "I will tell you another exclusive news. From the next village..."
"Auntie, tell you I want to know how to get to Shen Zhihuan's house." At this time, a soft female voice sounded from the roadside.
Wang Meili's eyes suddenly shone and she stopped talking.
"How..." Tian Xiaorou frowned.
She didn't say anything to arouse people's interest.
"Shh!" Wang Meili put her hand to her lips as a sign of silence, and glanced at the roadside to signal Tian Xiaorou to pay attention.
"Are you looking for the third girl of the Shen family?" Widow Chen put down her hoe and looked up and down at the delicate-looking little girl, who was holding a piece of good pork belly in her hand.
"Yeah!" The pretty girl nodded.
Hearing someone asking about Shen Zhihuan, the people working nearby slowed down their movements and pointed their ears to listen.
Some people even put down their hoes and sickles and openly watched the excitement.
The next moment, all the attention of those watching the excitement was snatched away by the pork belly in the hand of the pretty girl. After a while, the people who were listening to the news with sharp ears noticed something strange about the people watching, and subconsciously followed the people's eyes.
For a moment, the sounds of swallowing came one after another.
These days, for those people in the village who are facing the loess and back to the sky, it is as if they want to eat meat to their heart's content.
Let's not talk about money, let's talk about tickets. Only so many tickets are issued in a year. Let's not talk about families with a large population, let's talk about families with a small population. There must be six or seven people in a family no matter what! In addition, people these days are short of fat and water in their stomachs. How much meat is needed to satisfy a large family?
You can't just eat up a year's worth of meat in one meal?
Besides, this meal is enjoyable, but what about next month? What about the next year?
"Are you her classmate?" Widow Chen glanced at the pork belly in the delicate girl's hand and secretly swallowed.
"No!" The pretty girl shook her head.
"Then you are her relative?" Widow Chen asked tentatively.
"Auntie, can you tell me where she lives? After delivering the things, I have to rush back to cook." The delicate girl frowned slightly, but when she thought of her brother's instructions, she still suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"Those who founded the country have relatives here." She couldn't stand Widow Chen's inquisitive inquiry, and a middle-aged woman next to her shouted to Li Qiuhua, who was a few fields away.
Li Qiuhua, who was hoeing weeds, was slightly startled when she heard someone calling her.
Relatives...
Are there any relatives in her family now?
Li Qiuhua smiled self-deprecatingly, put down his hoe, and strode towards the roadside.
"Auntie, are you sister Zhihuan's mother?" Before Li Qiuhua could approach, the delicate girl smiled and greeted her.
"Who are you?" Li Qiuhua was confused.
"My name is Zhu Xiaoxiu, and my brother's name is Zhu Dazhuang. We are from the same village as Sister Zhilan. My brother asked me to bring some eggs, meat and rice to Sister Zhihuan." The delicate girl raised the hand she was carrying. A large piece of pork belly, and then turned back to point to the cloth bag and basket she placed on the roadside.
Eggs, rice...
Onlookers followed the direction of Zhu Xiaoxiu's fingers and discovered the floral cloth bags and baskets on the roadside. Look at the size of the floral cloth bags. The rice inside must have weighed at least twenty or thirty kilograms. There are also Those eggs are a basket full.
"You and Zhilan live in the same village..." Li Qiuhua suddenly remembered what his second daughter said yesterday, and his face instantly turned ugly.
"Take all these things away! Our family has no shortage of food and drink, and we don't need help from others." Li Qiuhua said and turned around.
"Auntie, don't get me wrong. Neither my brother nor I meant that. My brother knew that Sister Zhihuan was in poor health, so he asked me to bring it to replenish Sister Zhihuan's health." Zhu Xiaoxiu said quickly.
"We appreciate your kindness, you should take the things back!" Li Qiuhua found that he was overreacting and forced a smile.
"Auntie, just accept it! If you don't accept it, my brother and my mother will blame me for not being able to do things." Zhu Xiaoxiu pretended to be pitiful.
Li Qiuhua sighed, "I won't accept things. Girl, to tell you the truth, my Zhihuan is weak. She can't work in the field, earn work points, or serve her parents-in-law. I don't care where she marries, so I plan to marry her." She stays at home. If she can find a good one in the future, I will find a wife for her. If not, I will support her for the rest of her life. "
"Sister Zhihuan is weak. My mother and brother know that at home. My mother and I are responsible for making money, and my brother and my three nephews are responsible for making money. Auntie, don't worry! My mother is not the kind of person who cannot tolerate her daughter-in-law, and she will never let Sister Zhihuan be wronged. "Yes." Zhu Xiaoxiu said bitterly.
Before she came, her mother looked distressed, feeling that her brother had given her too much...
"Go back quickly! There is something going on in my field!" Li Qiuhua said this and left without looking back.
