From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 117

What can Su Zhong do if he asks Su Qianming to be honest?

“…My capital is my sister helping me.”

Su Qianming: “How did your sister help you? Isn’t she working in the capital?”

Having said this, Su Zhong looked up with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at him: “Well, actually, my sister has already quit her job, and she is also in the special zone.”

Tian Siyi covered her chest, she was afraid that she could not stand the stimulation.

Su Qianming gritted his teeth a little: “Go ahead.” If you don’t tell them about such a big thing, it really means that your wings are hard.

A daughter is no better than a son, especially after they divide the fields into households, and they are there to live in the family, there is always his share of food, there is a way back, but the daughter is different, she is a regular worker, she can The formal workers passed on to future generations were still from the capital. It was leisurely and decent when he said it, so he just gave up. Thinking of this, his heart was a little uncomfortable.

Su Zhong continued: “Sister, she passed by after the official establishment of the special zone, earlier than me. She met by fate and developed very well. When I passed, she helped me get goods, and I set up stalls to sell clothes everywhere. Selling clothes is not afraid of hard work. The goods are good enough, and it is quite profitable. I saved almost all the money, so I bought an old house in the provincial capital. The old house has a big yard and is close to the road. I built a store on the side of the road, and then I bought clothes in the provincial capital. In fact, it didn’t take long for me to stabilize, so I didn’t think about it. I’ll tell you personally when I come back, but it’s not clear in the letter.”

Chang Xiaohe took a deep breath: “So it’s true, you really bought a house in the provincial capital with a shop floor?”

Su Zhong nodded affirmatively: “It’s true, I can still deceive you, I still want to pick you up, the land at home can be entrusted to others, help us pay public grain, and then give us part of the grain, or We continue to plant, and we usually entrust others to take care of it for us. When we harvest, we give them a portion of the grain, and the living conditions will be much better there. What do you think? Do you want to take a look? Take a look at our side. How is the house?”

Thinking, of course, Chang Xiaohe glanced at Su Qianming.

Of course she wanted to see it, but she didn’t want to give the land to others, so how could it be done?

Their roots are here, and the land is the most important thing. If they are like this and the village takes the land back, what should they do?

In the end, Su Zhong avoided his daughter’s situation and focused on himself. Su Qianming wanted to continue to ask. Seeing him like this, forget it. If there are so many people, it’s really inconvenient. After that, he didn’t even think about escaping, he must explain it to him carefully and carefully. Now, in front of his wife and children, he exposed it first. He coughed twice, and Su Zhong was a little nervous. Under his eyes, he said: “This place must not be put down like this, but you are right, we need to go and see, and we must recognize the door. After the spring ploughing is over, when we have free time, our family will go and have a look. situation, and then decide how the land in the village will be? Whether to move or not.”

Su Qianming held the thin piece of paper, and felt a little touched. It must be better to go back to the provincial capital. The younger grandson’s study situation is really worrying. , maybe in another place, he will make progress, the best thing is that he is also admitted to university.

And he is not reluctant to leave this land like Chang Xiaohe. Chang Xiaohe is a villager who was born and raised here. His ancestors have lived here for many generations, but he and Tian Siyi are both outsiders in the village. Their roots are not here. Before that, there was no way. At that time, it was the most suitable for them to be in the village. Later, they gradually got used to it and settled down here. There is no difference, but it is different from the core. For example, in the current situation, he will definitely accept the life in the provincial capital faster, and hope to go back to the city to live.

Life in the city is more convenient.

Tian Siyi’s health was not good at first, and he lost money in the past. Later, when he gave birth to these two children, he was injured. She is no longer the weak and weak look she used to be, but she is still weaker than ordinary people.

Su Zhong will also take the pulse. Although he is not good at learning, he can only see some ordinary headaches, but he is also somewhat sure of Tian Siyi’s physical condition.

In fact, there is basically no problem with her body, but she is at a loss in her bones, and her physical quality has been relatively poor, so she can only take good care of it. In rich people, this is not a disease at all.

According to her background, if she is well-bred, there will be no problem, but something happened later. After years of sparring, she suffered some hardships on the way here, and she suffered from having a child. With this body now The situation was better than he expected.

He didn’t know that Su An had helped Tian Siyi to recuperate.

He now feels that going to the provincial capital, where she will have a much better life.

In the village, Tian Siyi, who basically does not go to the ground, is an outlier.

Friends who have nothing to say, usually stay at home.

Others are a little envious of her, why are they all women, they have to work outside the house, but she only needs to stay at home? comfortable? Pointing and pointing has never been less.

It will be different when you go to the city. Then she will stay at home and only do some housework, which is not surprising at all, but the land in the village can’t just be given up and entrusted to others, and then go to the provincial capital to see the situation before doing it. Let’s decide, this is not something that can be decided in a flash. They have been here for so many years, and it is not too short of time.

Su Zhong breathed a sigh of relief: “Where did you put the previous things? How about everyone? Do you like it? If you like it, I will buy it next time.”

“What did you buy? Didn’t you spend all the money you earned?” Tian Siyi doubted that the sum of those things just now was not small.

She was happy that her son bought such a thing, and everyone in the family had a share, which showed that he was a family lover, but saving money is also very important.

Chang Xiaohe also felt the same way: “How much money do you have left? Are you still buying it?” She narrowed her eyes, has he learned to hide money from private houses?

Su Zhong snorted: “Actually, there is not much left, and I still need to keep some capital to use when purchasing goods.”

Then he was stared at, and still felt distressed: “You don’t need to buy so many things.”

Su Zhong rubbed his head and didn’t speak. Didn’t he want the family to look at these things and be lenient to his failure to “report” in time? Besides, he still has some money, and the purchase price is not a small amount. He didn’t move.

Su Shiwei has already entered the room to look at things. He just saw a watch. Does he have one too?

He also asked, “Dad, is there a watch for me?”

Because of his excitement, his voice became a little louder, and he was immediately reminded by Chang Xiaohe: “Keep your voice down!”

Some people are listening outside in the corner, and they don’t want them to hear what they are saying, let alone this kind of thing, and everyone knows the truth.

Su Zhong: “The ball-point pen in the provincial capital is even bigger here. It’s surrounded, so people can’t hear you when you talk.”

“That’s what I thought, if something happens in the future, I can come back and continue farming in the future. If it doesn’t matter, I will settle down in the provincial capital. There is a train station over there. more convenient.”

Chang Xiaohe nodded frequently. At this time, there was a smell wafting. She remembered it and went to the kitchen immediately: “I also cooked something for you, wait, I’ll serve it for you.”

Some of them are overheated, but they can still be eaten, and the taste is almost bad, that’s okay.

Su Zhong was eating, and the others excitedly took out the things that had been urgently collected just now. Looking at these things, the smile on Chang Xiaohe’s mouth never went down.

She never thought that one day she would become an urbanite. If she moved to the provincial capital and settled down, she would be an urbanite among urbanites, right?

When she was going to marry Su Zhong, many people didn’t like her, but she didn’t suffer any hardships since she got married. Her parents-in-law were well-informed. She didn’t quarrel with her, and she couldn’t quarrel. She couldn’t imagine her mother-in-law arguing and cursing with her throat on her hips.

When Su Zhong was almost done eating, Su Qianming came over and patted him on the shoulder lightly, instead of looking at the other side, Tian Siyi and Chang Xiaohe, they happily talked about clothes: “Let’s have a good chat with the two of you?”

Su Zhong knew that he couldn’t escape, so he nodded obediently.

Su Zhong is back, and Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui are also back for the Chinese New Year on the Zhang family’s side. Neither of their industries are particularly busy during the Chinese New Year, so they resisted the temptation to work overtime and pay well during this period, and each With a large bag and a small bag, I returned with a full load, and I was very satisfied with the wages in my pocket.

It is no wonder that so many people want to find a job by going out to work and earning more money than shaving food in the fields.

Before, they would have felt that there were people working in the town, but things were too far away from them, so they would not have any sense of substitution. Now they have decided to go back to work and continue to earn money as soon as the new year is over.

Who would think too much money?

Zhang Gen had a hard time during this time, and he had no choice. His two sons were not at home, and they depended on them to work in the fields. Even if others came to help when the farming was busy, it would be difficult to take care of so many fields at ordinary times.

Because the care was not meticulous enough, he would gain a little less than others with similar fertility. Zhang Gen sighed a little when he knew about this loss.

Li Manfen also persuaded him: “Don’t care so much, this harvest is fine.” It was no problem for them to eat. After all, the others were not at home and could not help with the work, and they also saved their own rations.

Zhang Gen: “…”

Still too little labor at home.

Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui went out to earn money, and it stands to reason that grandchildren and granddaughters could support them. As a result, there were only two small children in the younger son’s family, and they couldn’t help at all.

Zhang Jinhua and Zhang Fenghua have come back for Chinese New Year. Wu Chuchu watched Zhang Jinghua go to college outside and rarely came back, so he took his son with him and went there to rent a small single room, saying that he would be in the same place as him .

No way, college students are so hot now, what if he doesn’t see each other for a long time, what if he has other thoughts?

She must be watching.

And when she goes there, she can avoid the troublesome mother-in-law and the farm work in the fields.

In the past, everyone worked together. Because of the household registration problem, she didn’t need to go to the land, but after dividing the land and contracting the work, it was different, so she had to follow Zhang Jinhua to the city no matter what.

Wu Chuchu went there and found a job, which was to help take care of children, half-year-old children, who couldn’t take care of themselves and needed someone to take care of them. Not everyone could be sent to a nursery or kindergarten, because her husband was a child. She is a college student, so she is trusted. She takes care of the children together. She doesn’t earn much. She can cover her rent and food expenses, which is very good for her.

Since she went there, he really made out to her again.

Of the three children, she only brought her son, and her two daughters stayed in her hometown. One was that she couldn’t take care of them that much, and the other was that she didn’t value her daughter as much, but her only son more.

So is Zhang Jinhua.

Zhang Jinhua has also changed from before, the clothes he wears are more particular, and it is normal to look at others with a sense of superiority. His conditions are superior to most of his peers.

Li Manfen feels that her grandson is getting more and more stylish, which is a good thing, and she speaks with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui came back with a big bag and a small bag, the whole family was very happy. Zhao Laidi took Zhang Quan’s package and looked at Zhang Gui while pulling it. I plan to go back and take a look at it slowly. If something is exposed here, it will attract people’s attention. It is better to dismantle it at home. When there is something to be delivered here, it’s just that the two families are so close.

Seeing the two sons come back, Zhang Gen also smiled: “You are back, just come back, you are thin.”

Zhang Gui is okay, Zhang Quan is blacker and thinner than before.

One is in the factory and the other is on the construction site, so this difference is inevitable.

Li Manfen looked left and right, and said, “You have all accepted it. Make up for it after the Chinese New Year. Let’s kill the chicken!”

Zhao Laidi: “…”

Are they blind?

The only one who lost weight was her man!

Zhang Quan unwrapped the package: “Mom and Dad, these are the new clothes I bought for you, as well as yours, come and see.”

He bought one for his parents and his son, and the rest, including himself, are all one.

Zhao Laidi’s face turned green in an instant, staring at him desperately.

Why did he buy so many clothes?

Don’t want money?

Might as well buy cloth and make them themselves!

Li Manfen was also a little congested.

They don’t care, the girls in the family also buy new clothes, they just wear old clothes, why buy new clothes? Better save the money.

Zhang Fenghua is okay, Zhang Xihua and Zhang Xiaohua are smiling.

They hardly ever wore new clothes. Their older brother or older sister wore old clothes and changed them. This was the first time they had new clothes since they could remember.

Zhang Quan: “It’s not expensive. The wholesale price of clothes over there is fine. The size is a little inappropriate and needs to be changed.”

Zhang Gui also bought them: “I bought warm pants for my parents.”

He has only two children, so the expenditure in this regard is relatively small.

Moreover, he had bought gold jewelry for his mother before, but this time, it was the thermal pants, and the rest were just bits and pieces.

Zhang Xiaohua cherished his clothes with broken flowers, but it didn’t feel so good to the touch.

Some time ago, the second aunt sent something back, and there was fabric in it. Grandma hid it directly and didn’t let it move at all. She touched it with her hands, and it was smoother than this.

But grandma wouldn’t let her move, she really wanted to and couldn’t help it.

Now she finally has her own new clothes.

At this time, her father also mentioned the second aunt.

“They won’t come back this year to protect the country, will they?”

Zhang Gen nodded: “I’m not coming back, it’s too far, I sent something here.”

Zhang Quan is not surprised, but it’s a pity: “If only Wei Guo was free before, he followed his teacher and classmates to do research, and he was very close to home.”

And this Zhang Gen also felt a pity: “There is no way, there is no time, and he came out with the teacher. If he is lazy, it is easy to leave a bad impression, but he is also graduating soon.” This year, Bao Guo and Wei Guo are the last one Year.

Not sure what jobs they will be assigned to.

He should be able to go to work in the state department just like the previous jinshi masters.

“Second siblings will soon enjoy happiness.” Zhao Laidi’s words were sour, which made Zhang Jinhua and Zhou Xiaoqing a little unhappy.

Zhang Jinhua didn’t want to admit that he was worse than them. He was obviously the eldest brother and the most valued person. To be honest, he was happy that they didn’t come back in the capital. In this way, he was the protagonist.

My sister’s college is better than his, but so what, she is going to marry.

someone else’s family.

Zhou Xiaoqing was because of Su An.

She took a deep breath. She had not made up her mind before, but now she has decided to go to the special zone with Zhang Gui to find a job after the new year.

She doesn’t want this job as a teacher.

On the other end, Su An was more leisurely.

There was Cao Yanhong watching at the shipping place. She didn’t need to go all the time, and she didn’t need to stay in front of the phone all the time to communicate with Pan Jiaye about the end of the year. Compared with her life in the special zone, her pace suddenly slowed down. Often take Dawei out for a walk.

Take a look around.

Wen Wenqing was envious of her when he saw her like this. He also wanted to walk around, but his physical strength couldn’t keep up, so let’s be honest with his grandson.

Zhang Baoguo was also on vacation, but because of his outstanding performance, he would be called back to school from time to time to be a strong man.

Zhang Weiguo is an intern, he is very busy.

Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo are also busy, one is taking postgraduate entrance exams and studying Chinese painting, and the other is planning to study abroad.

Although it was a holiday, it was only during the meal time that we could sit and talk together.

It wasn’t until the Chinese New Year that Zhang Anguo and Zhang Weiguo had more time to stay at home. They were at home, and their mother still couldn’t walk around.

On this day, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Weiguo planned to walk with their mother.

They can no longer pull on their mother’s sleeves or the corners of their clothes to act coquettishly. They grow up consciously and feel a little ashamed of being coquettish. Early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhang Dingguo cleans up the mess, and Zhang Anguo sits next to Su An: “Mom , where are you going?”

Su An: “Go for a walk.”

Zhang Anguo: “My brother and I also want to go for a walk. We couldn’t find time before, shall we go together?”

His eyes looked at Su An expectantly, with a hint of helplessness.

Su An understood: “Do you want to be together?”

Zhang Anguo nodded quickly: “Okay, let’s be together, we have no destination. Wherever mother goes, we will go.”

“Dawei.” Su An called out, and Dawei immediately ran to her side, rubbed her leg affectionately, and flicked her tail.

“went out.”

The three of them walked slowly into the store, looked at the busy and orderly situation, turned around, and left.

Zhang Dingguo looked at the colorful and diverse New Year’s goods by the roadside and thought: “Have we not written the couplet yet?”

Zhang Anguo nodded: “I haven’t written it yet, but I have already bought the red paper and the like.” Calligraphy and painting are not separated, and he can read his handwriting. He also wrote the couplets at home last year.

Zhang Dingguo laughed: “You will write more copies this year.”

In addition to the place where they live now, there are two couplets from the shop, couplets from the two courtyard houses that my mother bought, and couplets from the house under construction.

Originally, my mother wanted to buy a courtyard house for each of their brothers, but there were few people selling courtyard houses. It took so long to only have two houses, and the sizes were different. It was difficult to get close to each other. The four brothers all wanted to be close. One point, and then I saw an old house. There was a pond behind the old house. I flattened the old house and filled the pond with soil, which is a relatively square homestead.

Divide it into four equal parts, each with a two-story building, and each is surrounded by walls, so that when they get married, they will have independent space and sufficient closeness conditions.

And this place is also very suitable.

It is a few hundred meters from the nearest subway entrance, a few hundred meters from the bus station, there are elementary and middle schools nearby, and it is not far from the university. There is a large supermarket under construction, and it is more than ten minutes from the hospital subway…

The geographical conditions are good, but it is better to wait for their jobs to be settled before deciding on the housing, but my mother said that she would “divide the family” for them as soon as possible. The house where the work is divided is their own business. She will get hers done first, so that they can live in it later.

… Anyway, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo have decided that unless the place where they work is far from where their mother lives, they will live with their mother.

Even if my mother doesn’t come back often.

Because of the sufficient number of people recruited, the framework of these four houses has been roughly built.

As for the decoration, the four of them agreed that they should not move it first, whitewash the inside, and smooth the floor, and then do it slowly later.

After they came out of the shop, they went to the subway.

Not long after the capital’s subway was opened, few people did it at first. Later, after realizing its convenience, there were more people inside.

They took the subway to the house of their four brothers.

Many people are still busy.

They are subcontractors, and the sooner they finish the job, the sooner they can leave to do other work and earn a little more money.

When they came here, the foreman recognized them and came to say hello.

Su An: “Let’s take a look. Go ahead, don’t pay attention to us.”

The front building has the fewest staff, the fastest progress, and is already paved with tiles.

Su An is based on a family, so the houses are relatively large, and the design is different from the current ones. Many of the current buildings have only one place to go to the toilet on the first floor. Each room here has its own bathroom. , If you plan to live here in the future, it will definitely be more comfortable than living in a courtyard house now.

Su An decided not to decorate, so she bought the bed, bought the necessary tables and stools, left them, and gave them to the four brothers.

She is really going to split up.

In Li Village, it is only when the boy grows up and has a family that the family will be separated.

Su Hui didn’t plan to delay until then, and according to the household registration, they have already separated. She has a household registration book by herself, and they each follow the school. Once they have a unit, they will follow the unit.

Su Hui wanted to distinguish things clearly from the beginning and give each of them a house under their name. After the market in the capital is built, each will buy two for their brothers and record them in their names. In this way, They have a house and a shop, and finally give each of them a settlement fee. Even if they do nothing in the future, they will not worry about living.

Her own business is her own, and she has a clear conscience when she does what she should do.

The wealth and silk are touching. Maybe after experiencing the influence of society in the future, some people will be tempted by her business and want to intervene, thinking that what she has is theirs, and when it is time to break it up, it is better to divide it at the beginning, and what should be given has already been given. Well, it depends on her mood whether to give the rest or not.
