From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 85

The matter of the Shen family’s grandfather and grandson should be put aside for now. This can’t be rushed. It will take two months to find out.

At the educated youth point, Zhang Chengye reported Chen Donghua’s name, and now it has been approved, and it is definitely him.

After being notified, the educated youth points congratulated and felt sad.

They still don’t know when they will be able to go back.

When will the days in the countryside come to an end?

Chen Donghua put down a big stone in his heart and was ready to hand over. He left, and the educated youth had to choose one person, so that it would be convenient to deal with the village at that time.

For this person, one is to communicate well, the other is not to have a negative impression in the eyes of the villagers, and the prestige should be sufficient.

Then everyone elected Lin Jingnan.

Lin Jingnan’s qualifications are relatively low, but he has been here for three or four years. He is very good at burning tiles and earns the highest work points among so many educated youths. He has this reputation.

Lin Jingnan did not refuse, and continued.

At this time, Xie Rui’s package arrived, and Su Hui’s family received a big one. This is not a secret in the village at all.

In the eyes of the villagers, they don’t know what happened to Xie Rui. He has a very good relationship with the two boys in Su Hui’s family. Before he left, he often saw them talking together. Now that he has returned, it is said that he still When he became a cadre, he was very promising. He still did not forget these two children, and sent them things from time to time.

Although it is true that Su An and the others did not send things to the capital to give him, but they also want to know that the things from their side are of the same value as the things sent from the capital?

Both Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi were a little hot, and it was precisely because they knew that they were looking forward to it.

The last time he sent some cloth that they didn’t have on their side, it had never felt so silky. It’s really a lot of experience, such a piece, Li Manfen is not willing to use it at all, and it is protected layer by layer and pressed against the bottom of the box.

In addition to the fabric, there are also the biscuits in the golden bag, which are good things they have never seen before.

What will it be this time?

It was also a coincidence that this time, Zhang Baoguo’s tablemate showed him the chocolate, but it was not pure chocolate, but a chocolate filling, which looked more expensive.

You can see its price from the packaging, and it is estimated that it will be quite “beautiful”.

In addition to this, there is actually a bottle of ginseng wine in it. Xie Rui said in the letter that it was handed over by his family for a lifetime, and he packed some for them to taste.

The age of ginseng is not very large, and it is good for the body to drink a small sip every once in a while.

In addition, the most important thing is the study materials. He always remembers Zhang Weiguo’s kindness for secretly taking out the book at that time.

At his age, he can also help him collect study materials, which is a small effort for him.

Every time he received a package from him, Zhang Weiguo was in pain and joy at the same time.

Needless to say, these books are not given by the old house. This ginseng wine, Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo didn’t want to share them there.

There are not many chocolates, only six, one for each person, and there is one left, how to divide it over there.

Rather than divide.

Even if they knew that perhaps elderly grandparents were more suitable for this tonic, they selfishly ignored it.

Grandpa is important, but mother is more important.

They didn’t mention it, and Su An didn’t mention it either.

Xie Rui sent these things because of her feelings and the feelings of their brothers.

Therefore, their brothers also have the right to deal with it. This is an inevitable social interaction, which is troublesome. When they get older, the troubles will still be at the back.

However, they didn’t have anything to send over, so Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi asked Zhang Fenghua to ask when they were doing their homework.

Zhang Fenghua didn’t really want to ask, but it was impossible not to ask.

After Zhang Fenghua finished her homework and did some psychological construction, she hesitated and asked, “Wei Guo, that Uncle Xie who was an educated youth before, did you send something to you?”

The reason for this is that the parcel was sent by the educated youth. Lin Jingnan went to the post office, picked it up with him, and delivered it to them. Many people saw it.

Zhang Weiguo put the guidance book in front of her in front of her, and then pointed to the several books in front of him: “These are what Brother Xie sent us. There are study materials, magazines, and newspapers. Do you want to read them?”

Lele alone is not as good as all.

Looking at the thick study materials, Zhang Fenghua was in awe.

So much, when do we have to see it?

She picked up one and looked at it. She is only in the third grade now, Zhang Weiguo is in the fifth grade, and the twins are in the fourth grade. That is to say, her grade is the lowest, some can understand, most can’t understand.

I put it back if I couldn’t understand it, and I chose a magazine to read, but this is actually an academic magazine, that is to say, I couldn’t understand it at all.

Now she has learned to be good, go to the newspaper, and the newspaper will never be incomprehensible.

The result is really incomprehensible.

But that can only be ignored.

She didn’t ask any further, and asked if that was the only thing. He only said the study materials, then there were only the study materials. She just answered obediently.

Zhang Anguo was doing his homework, and when he heard the question from his cousin, he suddenly remembered the taste of sandwiched chocolate, and couldn’t help smacking his mouth. This was the best chocolate he had ever eaten, bar none.

He also really wanted to go to the capital. There are so many delicious things in the capital.

But others are still too young, and there is still a long time to go.

When Zhang Fenghua went back and said the answer, both Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi were a little dissatisfied. Li Manfen muttered: “They said they only have study materials? It’s impossible, just don’t want to give it to us.”

Zhang Fenghua: “I read it. There are so many learning materials.” She gestured: “It’s all new this time.” Excusable, there are only 5 people there, and they originally wanted to give it to them.

Zhao Laidi snorted twice: “You, you just don’t have a heart, you just believe what people say, are you stupid?” She was just muttering these words here. In front of Su An, she is now incredibly well-behaved. , I don’t say a word that shouldn’t be said, and I usually walk around Su An. If I can, I won’t meet. She can’t offend this person. If she can’t offend, she can only hide. She can still hide.

Zhou Xiaoqing also knew that, but she didn’t have that thought anymore. Although she would have been curious before, maybe she would have come to see if there was anything to take advantage of, but now, the child she is carrying is not very safe. After the news of the accident hit the fetal gas, the pregnancy was not very comfortable. It was about the time when Su An received the package. She received a letter from his eldest brother.

The eldest brother received a letter from his parents with the address on it, but there was not much information on the letter, only a few lines, saying that he had settled down, safe, and let them take good care of themselves, other than that, nothing.

Of course, what Zhou Xiaoqing didn’t know was that the letter received by the eldest brother of the Zhou family was still written on the edge of the newspaper, and the parents couldn’t even take out a blank piece of paper. If he is worried, he can’t tell the younger siblings here, he is enough to carry it himself.

But looking at the address of her parents, Zhou Xiaoqing and the three of them couldn’t even laugh.

Although they knew the addresses of their parents and where they settled down and had a place to live, they relaxed a lot, but the place was too remote, so they went to the map to find out where it was.

Zhou Xiaodong and Zhou Xiaolei planned in their hearts to go there to see them when they have a holiday. Now, they can’t do anything else here, just collect some local specialties and send them to the big brother.

The big brother was afraid that they would be impulsive, and the address was not too specific. If you want to send something, you can only send it to him first, and then forward it to the parents.

Because of this, Zhou Xiaoqing was upset. The one in her stomach didn’t stop. She couldn’t tell the people here because of her mother’s family. She was overwhelmed, and her body was already a little hurt. Under the double attack, she was haggard. a lot of.

Others don’t know that something happened to her mother’s family, they just think that she has had a hard pregnancy and said a lot of comforting words, but compared with her last one, the last one was not so naughty, the last time was a son, this time This is different, is it a daughter?

It’s not impossible.

Listening to this statement, Li Manfen’s attitude towards her was not as caring as before. If this was a girl, she would be too lazy to put so much effort into it.

Li Manfen and Zhao Laidi felt that there was a secret there, and there was no other way but to complain a few words, so they passed by.

The village was calm for a while, and the years were quiet, until the day of Chen Donghua’s departure came, and there were some disturbances.

At this time, it is not yet the time to start school, but he has a vacation before. He will go home to accompany his family first, and then set off directly from home to go to college. The formalities here have been completed.

His departure was not as big as Xie Rui’s time. At that time, some prestigious people in the village came to see Xie Rui off, and thanked Xie Rui for his contribution to their village. This time Chen Donghua left, basically only the educated youth were thinking about it. .

Chen Donghua looked at the people here, the familiar scene, and couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

He’s been here for ten years, and he can finally go back.

His perseverance was not in vain. Over the years, many people have persuaded him to give up, get married and have children here, and settle down, but he was not reconciled. Being gregarious, he endured it. Now, his efforts have paid off. If he had a wife and children here, he would not be able to leave so neatly.

Zhang Chengye, as the captain, also came to see him off. Su Hui was away, and her friendship with Chen Donghua was normal, so she didn’t bother.

Zhang Chengye said the same thing as when Xie Rui left at that time: “You are always welcome here.”

Chen Donghua’s eyes were slightly red: “Thank you.”

All his hard work over the years has been worth it.

——

It was raining heavily this year. There was a lot of rain this year, and there were a lot of torrential rains. However, the situation of the big guys this year was much better than before, because most of them were covered with tiles, and there were some water leaks, but it was better than before. Before it started, it rained heavily outside, but the situation of moderate rain inside was much better. Generally, a washbasin and a wooden barrel can solve the problem.

Because in the rainy season, everyone is more leisurely and shelters from the rain at home. Some will clean up the hygiene at home, and some will visit other people’s houses with some handicraft work. Zhao Xialan will take some screened straws. Pole came to visit her, so she could chat with Su An and make mats.

It can be used as a raincoat or as a mat.

If you are not weaving this, you are making shoe soles, or making needles and threads. No matter how bad it is, you can still pick beans. In short, there will always be work to do.

After gossiping about what happened at the educated youth point, Zhao Xialan glanced at the distance with the children, leaned over and lowered her voice: “There’s something you may not know, I’ll tell you.”

Su An: “What’s the matter?”

Zhao Xialan: “When the gossip was spread before, that man, Zhang Shu, do you still have any impressions?”

Su An nodded.

Zhao Xialan blinked: “Let me tell you, he is looking at each other now, the woman’s side has a bit of a relationship with my mother’s house, and I only knew when I knew that I was in this village and asked me about it. “

Su An indifferently said: “Oh.”

Zhao Xialan: “Is your attitude so cold?” Saying so, it is normal to have no reaction.

“I think it’s time for him to look for one. He looked so fast, and he was probably frightened by you at that time. He was afraid of what you would do to them. Now that a period of time has passed, the limelight has passed, and no one is paying attention. , secretly starting a family, and tearing it apart completely, proving that the rumors at the beginning were purely false.”

Su An nodded: “It has nothing to do with me.”

Zhao Xialan agreed: “It has nothing to do with you, but I know what I know.”

After that, Zhao Xialan’s voice returned to its original size, but she thought that she lowered her voice, and the other four children would not be able to hear clearly. After all, it was still raining outside, but what she did not expect was , Compared with ordinary people, they all have better ears and eyesight. They didn’t listen very carefully, but they basically heard it, but if they heard it, it was considered that they didn’t hear it. , it has nothing to do with them.

Li Manfen and Zhang Gen gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The first child was Zhang Ju, then Zhang Quan, then Zhang Ping, Zhang Lan, and Zhang Gui the youngest.

The children she gave birth to have a lot of fate in their children. Zhang Ju gave birth to three sons and daughters, and Zhang Quan gave birth to four sons and daughters.

Zhang Ping gave birth to four sons, all of them were sons. Zhang Lan gave birth to two, which happened to be a good word. Zhang Gui gave birth to a son, and now his wife is pregnant with a second child.

Descendants prosper.

These five people can live their lives, but if you just want to comment on what happened, Zhang Ju is the worst.

She and her man work honestly to earn work points.

Compared with her, Zhang Lan’s life is better.

Although at the beginning, she married a farmer in the countryside like Zhang Ju, and she was from the same village, but later, her man was helped by noble people, and he was called to do odd jobs from time to time, not necessarily every month. But in twelve months of the year, six months can be guaranteed, plus it is not very far from home, and I go out early and return late every day, and I have saved a lot of money.

But the two of them didn’t spend much money because they wanted to save the money and buy a house in the town. No matter how big or small the place was, at least they had a place to stay, and then they could transfer their hukou there.

It’s not that her man didn’t have the opportunity to work as a formal temporary worker, but every time he was stuck in the hukou, and then missed the opportunity.

They have been inquiring about houses in the town, and houses in the town are also rare. Many people live in more crowded places than their rural areas. It is not uncommon for five or six people to live in an area of ​​ten or twenty square meters.

Most of these houses are provided by the factory, and everyone will not think about buying them. If you want to buy them, the price will not be low. Although the divided houses are not big, they are free. Of course, there is another point that you want to buy. There is no place to sell either.

The town is really not very big, and every household has a large population, and there is not enough to live in. Where can there be excess to sell?

While inquiring about the news, they slowly saved money.

In order to buy a house and move her hukou, even though the family’s financial situation is the most prosperous among her male brothers, it is not conspicuous at all, and life is still tight.

Finally, I found out this year that there is an old man who has an old house of ten square meters for sale. The ten square meters are divided into two rooms, the front and the back. The place can be seen at a glance, but the house can be moved into the house, and the price is still good because the house is dilapidated. acceptable.

This house is a single-family house with a yard of more than 20 square meters. The bottom is brick, the top is mud brick, and the top is covered with tiles. It is placed in an old house in the village that is not obtrusive at all. The asking price is 400. Three hundred and eight.

If it was built in the village, it is estimated to be more than 200. Most of them are the bricks at the bottom and the tiles on the roof.

Zhang Lan’s plan is to buy it first, settle down, and then find an opportunity to implement the man’s job and save money slowly. Later, it can be flattened and rebuilt. When it is all built, it will have more than 30 square meters. Their family of four, It’s still possible.

They all discussed with the owner that they want to buy it. They have savings in their own hands, but they are almost three hundred and eighty, so they want to borrow money from his two brothers.

Her father-in-law is gone, and her mother-in-law lives with her eldest son.

Zhang Lan’s man is the second child, with an elder brother above and a younger brother below. As soon as he opened his mouth, the elder brother said that he would borrow it, but when he turned around, he regretted it and said that he wanted to borrow money from them. What should I do with the money? He wants to buy this house too!

Her mother-in-law also came out and said that it is better for them to lend him the house first, let him transfer his household registration, and find a job in the city, no matter what it is, and then slowly repay the money to them when he has a job.

This made Zhang Lan annoyed, they only borrowed 40, and he wanted to borrow more than 300 in reverse. Is there such a loan?

And the jobs in the town are considered so easy to find, if you can find them, you can find them?

There are so many people with hukou in the city, but not all of them have jobs.

Her man has the help of nobles, and he dare not make a ticket!

She was angry, and her mother-in-law cried for her pity, saying how their eldest brother treated his younger brother at the beginning, and now there is a chance, the time to repay has come, and play emotional cards.

Zhang Lan didn’t know what happened in the past, but after she got married, she had her own eyes, and she could see it herself.

The man’s eldest brother has a bad heart in his heart. Like this time, it must be his idea, but he let his mother come forward and take the righteousness, and he didn’t say a word himself.

Pooh!

Angrily, she took the money and went to her parents’ house. She cried for a while, and finally stated her purpose.

She can’t borrow it from her husband’s family. She plans to borrow it from her mother’s family. If she misses this village, there will be no shop.

But it may not be possible to meet someone to sell a house again.

Zhang Lan is confident, her mother is probably reluctant, but if she speaks to her father, the possibility of him rejecting her is very low, she knows, there is some savings in the family, not much 40 yuan, last year’s dividends It is estimated that there is this number.

In addition, she also wants her elder brother and younger brother to support her, accompany her to complete the formalities immediately, and bring all her documents. Love, but she doesn’t. As long as she borrows money, she can go to the formalities directly!

After knowing the reason, Zhang Gen didn’t say anything, so Li Manfen took out fifty yuan.

“You have emptied your home, but you still have to reserve some home for emergency.”

The spit of anger just now was like flying knives, and now my eyes are red when I hear this

They really hollowed out the family, and her man didn’t do odd jobs for many years. With this money, there are only a few cents left in the family. She just wanted to get a formal job. They also get fixed food every month, and generally temporary workers will not be dismissed easily.

With that noble person there, there is a great chance of getting hired, but at this critical juncture, not only did the man not help in his family, but he also wanted to hold him back.

Fortunately, her mother’s family was still able to rely on her.

Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui said nothing about going to help Zhang Lan on a trip.

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Jinhua also went with them.

These two nephews can almost come to see them as adult men, so they went with them. Seeing so many men, they had to hesitate if they wanted to bully them.

Su An was also invited by Zhang Lan to go with him.

She has never done such a thing before, and the second sister-in-law is literate and can help watch it together.

If Zhou Xiaoqing hadn’t been pregnant and couldn’t run around, Zhang Lan would have invited her too.

So Zhang Lan came alone, and when they walked together, Zhang Gen, Zhang Quan, Zhang Gui, Su Hui, Zhang Jinhua, and Zhang Baoguo, six people followed along, mighty. If you think that, you will still have to give the married daughter to back up and beat the son-in-law.

The kindness was difficult, and Su An followed to the town.

Zhang Lan took them straight to their destination to find the old man.

“Master, let’s take the money one day in advance. Have you brought your documents? We’ll go to the house now.”

“Now?” The uncle was startled by this man first, and then heard this: “It’s not impossible, wait a moment, I’ll call my son.”

There are so many people on the other side, and he can’t be weak here.

However, he suddenly thought of one thing, why didn’t her man come? What’s wrong?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter to him, this transfer has nothing to do with him.

The old man got up and went to find his two sons and went to the house together.

There is no bureaucracy at this time, and people are approachable. They know what they are here for, and when they ask about the situation, they stamped their seals and wrote a transfer letter.

At this time, there were very few real estate transactions, because there were almost no vacant houses. He only did it a few times a year, no more than five times.

After getting the transfer certificate, Zhang Lan took out the money on the spot and gave it to the old man: “Master, count it.”

The uncle is not hypocritical, so much money, you have to count it clearly.

He carefully counted it three times and nodded, “That’s right, that’s it.”

Zhang Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the account was moved in.

However, there is a problem with this account.

That is, there are restrictions on transferring accounts, such as their situation.

If you have a house, you can transfer your account, but only the head of the household.

They are a family of four, and only he can turn around.

It is not so easy to change from a farmer to a non-farm. As long as the hukou is transferred, there will be a fixed amount of food every month, and there will be a grain book, which can be used to receive food. This is why so many people want to change their urban hukou.

There is no need to work in the fields, and there is a fixed amount of food every month. The family has a large population and can apply for public housing. If you have a job, your salary will be calculated separately.

This time, Zhang Lan was helped by her man’s nobles.

Otherwise, I don’t know if it can be settled smoothly.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Lan started, just in time to see the mother-in-law who was hurried.

With my uncle and sister-in-law.

When she saw someone, she wiped her tears: “Oh my God, who has a daughter-in-law with such a big idea? If you say take away such a large sum of money, you can take it away. The house is a big deal. The Lord has done it, who can afford such a daughter-in-law.”

The eldest brother, who was supporting him, looked tangled: “Brother and sister, your idea is too big, the second brother doesn’t even know about it, so you just don’t discuss it with him, it’s still undecided, if you’re deceived… …”

“Have you spent the money? Hurry up and take it out. That’s my son’s hard-earned money, you prodigal!”

Her eldest brother sighed: “Brother and sister, is the money still in your hands? It would be better if it was still there. If you don’t worry about your mother holding it, you can keep it for the second brother. No matter what you say, don’t be impulsive. Maybe Mom’s tone is a bit too much, but she is also kind, don’t get me wrong.”

Seeing this movement, people gathered around to watch the fun. After hearing these words, they whispered, “This idea is really big enough. Buying a house, no matter what kind of house, is not a small sum.”

“I didn’t discuss it with my man, didn’t I get deceived?”

“If my daughter-in-law was like this, I wouldn’t dare to ask for it.”

“Look at her mother-in-law crying, the family is unfortunate.”

“Tsk tsk, don’t worry about her mother-in-law, this person is really.”

“This money should be spent. I don’t know what happened to the house. Does anyone sell the house?”

“I haven’t heard of it, no, there is no house for sale.”

“Is this hard-earned money gone? At this age, I still cry in front of my daughter-in-law, and my mother-in-law’s face is gone. I must have been bullied on weekdays…”
