70s Women Disguised As Men - Chapter 34
Compared with later generations, the capital of the 1970s was very different. It was not easy to come back. It took only three days before Tong Yan wandered around the surrounding department stores and the black market.
In addition to cosmetics and some specialty products, she also bought a few meters of soft cotton cloth to make a few vests.
Her body is too delicate now, as long as the fabric is a little bit hard, the whole body will feel uncomfortable.
She didn’t have much money in her hand, and Tong Yan didn’t dare to buy too many things. Unless necessary, she couldn’t buy anything else.
In addition to visiting the department store, she secretly ran to the train station to buy a ticket back to the village.
And all of this was carried out secretly behind Liu Wenhui’s back.
If you ask, how does it feel to welcome the New Year with someone you hate?
Tong Yan just feels that it’s not good enough!
Therefore, she decided to leave tomorrow and never stay here to spend the New Year with Liu Wenhui!
She thought about the reasons for going back. She only said that the educated youth from the same city came to inform, and the production team called in saying that there was an urgent recall.
After these two days of flicking with reason and affection, Liu Wenhui’s attitude towards her is pretty good, and she will make good supplements for her every day, for fear that her physique can’t resist and hurt her son.
Exactly eight months have passed since he went to the countryside. The Tong family once promised to give a subsidy of five yuan a month, but now it is exactly forty yuan. Before returning to the village, Tong Yan just wants to pay the money.
Hearing that she was leaving, Liu Wenhui blinked an eye and didn’t react. It was two or three days before the Chinese New Year. Is there any major event that can’t be left after the Chinese New Year?
However, these days, she and Tong Yan have gotten a little awkward. The guilt in her heart made her unable to breathe, and she always felt that there was an invisible wall between the two. Her daughter went to the countryside for half a year to change so much that she couldn’t see through.
After thinking about it, I felt like I was leaving, so that I could catch my breath and have a peaceful year.
The next morning, Tong Yan got up early and started packing up. Liu Wenhui took out a few boiled eggs and small pickles from the kitchen for her to take on the road to eat.
Before leaving, he took out five yuan from his shoulder pocket and handed it to Tong Yan, “You take this money and buy yourself more delicious food.”
If Dabao’s father is at home, don’t say five dollars, even if she doesn’t dare to give it to her daughters.
Tong Yan was kind of surprised that this woman could give her five dollars, but she didn’t accept the money. Instead, she frowned and said quietly, “Oh, it’s not easy for you to make money. I can’t ask for this money. By the way, Some time ago, Dabao wrote to me and asked if he had received the money you sent? He said that if he didn’t give it, he would go to his grandfather to file a complaint. That kid is always so impulsive.”
“Then what did you tell him?!” Liu Wenhui stretched her neck, her tone eager.
She is just a housewife who revolves around her husband and children, and she can’t reach anyone at ordinary times, so Tong Yan believes that.
In Tong’s family, Liu Wenhui is most afraid of Mr. Tong, followed by her husband. She knows the character of her son very well, and the matter of going to the elderly to file a complaint will indeed be done.
“I told him that you would give me the money before the New Year.” Tong Yan didn’t forget to add another fire after seeing her believe it. “Dabao also said that after the New Year, he would secretly go to the countryside and exchange me back. You must Look at people and don’t let him do this.”
“Huh?! He still wants to go to the countryside?!” Liu Wenhui was completely panicked when she heard this, did she and her husband have done the ideological work for that stupid son for so long, did they do it in vain? !
“Don’t you know what his temper is? What if he really sneaks into the countryside someday?” Tong Yan sat firmly on the stool and didn’t forget to continue stabbing the knife.
“It is estimated that an autumn harvest in the countryside can make him lose ten catties of meat.”
“What’s wrong with this? This kid is too capricious!” Without the backbone of the family, Liu Wenhui was like an ant on a hot pot, too anxious.
It seemed that her stupid son would go to the countryside in the next second.
“Our commune has recently had a job as a broadcaster, and everyone is robbing it. If Dabao really goes to the countryside someday, he won’t be exhausted by such a job.” Tong Yan became a broadcaster, everyone in the Tong family I don’t know, this can be regarded as half-truth.
“I think we should plan for the worst in advance.”
Liu Wenhui felt reasonable when she heard what she said, and she had to keep a back-hand in everything. What if that stinky boy is really crazy?
“It’s not easy for a bunch of people to grab a job? How can it be Dabao’s turn?”
“The relationship between our educated youth and me is okay. His person is very capable. If he walks with him more, he should be able to talk.” Tong Yan spoke very vaguely and said to Shen Shaoqing in his heart. Sorry, he can only be moved out at the critical moment.
“Then… how much money do you need to move around?” Liu Wenhui understood what she meant, but she didn’t have the final say on the big and small affairs of the family, she had to discuss with her own man how to get the money.
Knowing that she can’t be a family, if the amount said is too large, this woman will never pay out. Tong Yan stretched out five fingers and said: “How come it costs fifty yuan, a good job can’t wait for anyone, if you miss this The chance is gone.”
When she heard that it only cost fifty yuan, Liu Wenhui sighed to herself, finding a job in the city would cost hundreds, and she could still take charge of fifty yuan, but she was still a little hesitant.
“But if he doesn’t go to the countryside, isn’t that fifty yuan for nothing?”
This kind of mother only sees her son and can’t see her daughter. If the original body and Tong Dabao are twins, Tong Yan really doubts whether this pair of top products are biological parents?
Enduring the anger in her heart, Tong Yan raised her eyes to see her in a light tone, “Didn’t you promise to give me five dollars a month? You have almost forty dollars in the past six months? I paid four out of the fifty dollars. Ten, I will treat it as a free gift to Dabao. If Dabao does not go to the countryside, I will pay you another ten yuan.”
“Furthermore, if you let Grandpa know about these things, no one will be better. If you pay fifty dollars now, not only can you stop Dabao’s mouth, you can also find a good job for Dabao to pave the way for him. This will kill two birds with one stone. Good thing.”
Liu Wenhui was so bewildered by her words that she was a little more frightened when she mentioned Father Tong, so she nodded and agreed before she understood her account.
With fifty yuan in hand, Tong Yan no longer stays longer. It is her limit to get along with Liu Wenhui these days. As for whether this woman will go back and ask her for money…
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so she should go to Xinghua Village if she is capable!
In the evening of the next day, Tong Yan headed for the cold wind and returned to this familiar small village-Xinghua Village with luggage in her hand.
There are still two days before New Year’s Eve, and everyone is immersed in peace and joy.
The first thing to do when returning to the village is to go to the production team to sell off holidays.
Gao Dagen saw that she came back a few days after she left, and immediately put down her work and cared: “What’s the matter? What’s wrong at home?”
Taking out a special product bought from Beijing, Tong Yan explained with a smile: “My family has all gone to visit relatives in other places, so I came back early because of the meaningless Chinese New Year at home.”
Put the special product on the table, “Captain, this is for you, it’s not worth any money, please accept it.”
“This can’t work, I can’t accept it!”
“If you don’t accept it, I will never eat your carrots again.”
“…”
In the end, Gao Dagen still couldn’t accept it, and invited Tong Yan to his house for the New Year.
New Year’s Eve is a day to reunite with his family. Tong Yan will not be so ignorant to disturb others in the reunion year. After refusing to find an excuse, Tong Yan will return to the educated youth point.
There are still two days before New Year’s Eve. Compared with the festive and lively activities in the village, the entire educated youth spot looks deserted.
The stove was heated up, and the pot of boiling water was poured into the thermos. She cleaned the courtyard of the male educated youth inside and outside.
Just about to enter the house to rest for a while, I heard a burst of laughter from outside the yard.
“My mother said that it is not easy for you to be outside alone during the New Year, so you must go to my house for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve.”
“What about us, do they know?”
“Hmm! Why don’t you want others to know?”
“No, I think! I really want to!”
The voices of the young men and women are very familiar. Tong Yan raised her eyebrows lightly, wondering in her heart that it was the educated youth who did not go home for the New Year.
Just as she was about to open the door, the courtyard door was opened from the outside, her eyes met, all in a daze.
“Dabao, didn’t you go home?” Zhao Heping saw Tong Yan in surprise.
“My family has gone out to celebrate birthdays, so I will be back.”
The men and women in front of them held hands and looked like a couple. Tong Yan touched the tip of her nose to conceal the shock in her heart.
How could the heroine Tian Xiaohua be with Zhao Heping? ! Can anyone tell her when it happened?
“You…what is this?”
Faced with Tong Yan, Tian Xiaohua smiled a little unnaturally. She turned her head to Zhao Heping and said coquettishly: “Tong Zhiqing asks you something?”
“Ahem~ Comrade Tian and I are now in the relationship.” It may be the first time that the relationship has been made public, and Zhao Heping can’t help blushing.
“Ah…Congratulations.” Tong Yan was so frightened by the news that the female protagonist actually had **** with someone else, what should the male protagonist do?
Shen Shaoqing’s handsome face could not help appearing in her mind, and the man’s head was still glowing green!
“thanks!”
It may be that the light bulb of Tong Yan was inconvenient to talk about love. After a few words of greeting, Zhao Heping and Tian Xiaohua came out with an educated youth point.
Tong Yan headed back to her room, thinking that Shen Shaoqing didn’t know that her future wife was gone, she felt that the dog man was a bit pitiful.
However, there must be something hateful about the poor man. It’s all because he usually has a cold face. At first glance, he is not easy to get along with. It is only blame for the hostess to like him!
…
On New Year’s Eve, Gao Dagen came to invite Tong Yan again, but she did not go. Zhao Heping went to Tian’s house as scheduled, and she was the only one left in the educated youth spot.
Buying lean pork and fine white noodles from the supply and marketing agency, Tong Yan intends to make meat dumplings for herself, to reward her for having been hard for the past six months.
There was no gala for the Spring Festival in 1975, lighting a kerosene lamp, and making white noodles. She sat on the edge of the kang, pinching dumpling wrappers, and wrapping them carefully.
At some point, snowflakes floated outside the window and fell lightly, quickly whitening the world.
Tong Yan made a total of 30 dumplings and threw them into the boiling water one by one. While waiting for a while, she looked at the snow scene outside the house, feeling a little lost in her heart.
As the saying goes, she misses family every holiday season, and in this book, she has no relatives to miss, let alone reunion.
I don’t know what happened to my parents in my own world? How are you? Do you miss her in such a festival?
Thinking of this, the tip of my nose was sour, and my vision gradually blurred…
And in this blurry line of sight, a tall figure with white snow on its shoulders slowly walked towards her…
