And so the days went on and on, and the sun rose and sunset, and a few days passed.

On this day, Sister-in-law Tuesday and Sister-in-law Zhou went to Zhou Shujie's house to visit the door, and only after talking did they say that Brother Tuesday and their plans to go out to work next year.

When Zhou Shujie heard this, she asked her second sister-in-law, "Go out to work." Where are you and my second brother going?"

Tuesday's sister-in-law replied with a smile. "The specifics haven't been decided yet, your second brother said that he would wait for those who worked to come back a few years ago and ask them where to go before deciding where to go." ”

As soon as Shujie saw the confident and yearning smile on her second sister-in-law's face, she knew that her second sister-in-law was really alive.

Originally, Zhou Shujie really didn't think about anything, she just wanted to live her life like this.

But now when she looks at Brother Tuesday's plan, she has an idea in her heart.

Although I have an idea, I can't say anything to someone with empty teeth. After thinking about it, he said to his sister-in-law on Tuesday: "It's good to go out and have a look, the outside world is big." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou said enviously on the side: "I, I can only guard the acre and three points of land at home, and when you go out to see the world, you have to have a good chat with us when you come back." Let's also open our eyes. Long insight. ”

Tuesday's sister-in-law said with a smile. "Don't worry, I'll remember what I want to see, and I'll tell you when I get back." ”

Zhou Shujie couldn't help but laugh when she was amused by the words of a little girl like them.

The three sisters-in-law laughed and laughed for a while, and then talked for a while.

Soon it was time to cook, and Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Tuesday were going home.

Sister-in-law Zhou came out for a walk today after Brother Zhou took a vacation. The children have all left home, and she has been out for a long time, and she is quite worried about it.

Zhou Shujie saw that they were leaving, so he agreed with them. "Eh, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, let's go to the city one day." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou asked. "What are you doing in town?"

Zhou Shujie said. "I want to go out into town and see if there's anything new to buy." Sister-in-law Guo next door went to the city two days ago. I heard them say that the city has changed a lot now. A new big mall was opened. There's a lot to sell inside. I just wanted to find you as a companion and go and see. ”

As soon as they heard about this big mall, Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Tuesday immediately became alive.

Or how can I say that it is a woman's nature to love shopping.

The two concubines said to Zhou Shujie together. "Then don't be that day, let's go tomorrow if we don't hurry up sooner or later." Isn't it a market tomorrow, let your second brother drive an ox cart to send us to the county, and then we will take a bus to the city. After shopping, let's take the bus back in the evening after shopping, and let your second brother wait for us in the county. That way, we can go back and forth in a day. ”

Zhou Shujie nodded. "Okay, that's it. Let's go early tomorrow to save the time we can't catch the car. ”

After agreeing on tomorrow's travel time, the two sisters-in-law took their leave.

After sending off the two sisters-in-law, Shujie went back to the house and said to her mother-in-law. "Mother, I'm going to go to the city with my sister-in-law tomorrow, do you have anything to buy?"

The old lady heard it when they spoke first, and now she heard her daughter-in-law ask herself, "Do you want to buy something?" "I don't have anything to buy either. If you have good ingredients for sitting on a cheongsam, you can pick the one you like and buy two pieces. While I can still see with my eyes now, I will make you two cheongsams. ”

Zhou Shujie was very moved when she heard it, and when her mother-in-law was cleaning up her cabinet two days ago, she saw her mother-in-law's cheongsam. It's really exquisite, embroidered with all kinds of flowers, and the material is good. It's just that the fat and thin are much worse than her, and she can't wear them, otherwise her mother-in-law will give it to her.

Her mother-in-law also saw her liking for those clothes, so she had today's talk.

Zhou Shujie held back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile. "Mother, don't be so troublesome, I can wear anything, you see the coat that the pillar bought back is very good, I'll just wear this." ”

The old lady shook her head and said with a smile. "How can a woman not have two cheongsams? You don't have to worry about my eyes, it's okay now, I'll help you make two while I can see." When I can't see it in the future, you can't do it if you want me to do it for you. ”

Zhou Shujie didn't say anything when she saw that her mother-in-law had already decided. Said with a smile. "Then I'll thank you in advance. ”

The old lady said with a smile. "You're thanking you a little early. Whether this fabric can be bought or not is worth it, it has really made them laugh lightly over the years. So many good things were burned by them. ”

This topic is a little heavy as soon as it starts, Zhou Shujie doesn't want her mother-in-law to think about these past events, for fear that she will be sad when she thinks of her father-in-law.

She changed the topic and asked, "Oh, it's all here, it's time to cook, mother, what do you say we should cook at night?" ”

The old lady also understands people, and the topic of Zhou Shujie is too obvious.

She also said along her slope. "Then make some oil cakes and make some vegetable soup." ”

Zhou Shujie was happy when she heard the meal ordered by her mother-in-law.

To say that her mother-in-law used to be a very delicate Jiangnan lady, but now this Northeast cuisine is really delicious.

She smiled and said "OK", and went to make oil cakes and vegetable soup for her mother-in-law.

The night is dawning.

Before dawn in the morning, Zhou Shujie got up to clean himself up. She was afraid of the cold, so she planned to wear a thicker one and slip a little easier. He put on his big cotton jacket and big cotton pants. I'm going to go to the city here.

As soon as she finished dressing, her mother-in-law woke up. It's not good to see her like this, and she can't be happy with her mother-in-law.

Wait until you've laughed enough before you say. "You're going to go to the city with this body." You are. What are you doing with all the clothes that the pillar bought for you, take them out and wear them? ”

Zhou Shujie looked at his rustic body and couldn't hold back, and said with a smile. "I thought that what I was going to wear was too eye-catching, and it didn't look good to go out with my sister-in-law. ”

Her mother-in-law said differently. "You just think too much, while you're young, some wear some beautiful." Hurry up and put them all on. Don't wait until my old lady's age, nothing is beautiful on her body. ”

Zhou Shujie also heard it, and rummaged through the cabinets to find the clothes that had been put away.

She changed into a thin cotton jacket and cotton pants, which she made herself, and they were quite close-fitting. It's not like those who make it. The cotton clothes she made are quite stylish on her body. On the outside, he put on a pair of navy blue pants, which was a side door.

This is also a characteristic of this era, and the pants worn by women are all open on the side. Only men wear front doors.

The jacket took out the tweed coat that the pillar had bought for her, and put it on.

There is no choice but to wear cotton shoes made by yourself. The pair of leather shoes that the pillar bought for her were not to wear in the summer and winter.

When she finished dressing, her mother-in-law looked at the two big braids on her head, and felt uncomfortable.

summoned Zhou Shujie to him and asked her to sit on the edge of the kang with her back to her.

The old lady took out the box of her jewelry from the quilt and opened it aside. took a wooden comb to tear apart Zhou Shujie's braids.

After the comb was smooth, she was given a low bun at the back of her head.

I used only two silver hairpins to fix it, and I didn't use anything else.

The old lady asked Zhou Shujie to stand up, looked carefully from the front, and straightened the hairpin, and then she was satisfied.

Zhou Shujie looked in the mirror, touched it with his hand again, and felt it, but he didn't expect it to be particularly firm.

If you want to talk about the hair twisting skills of the older generation, it is really not to say, only use these two hairpins to coil a head of hair, and other tight, it is not easy to shake it down.

This bun is also good-looking, and it is very particular, and the low one does not affect her wearing a hat or a headscarf.

Zhou Shujie, it's almost time for them to clean up here, she quickly took off her coat again, and wanted to go to other places to warm up the meal for her mother-in-law first.

Her mother-in-law knew what she was going to do as soon as she saw her posture, and said, "Okay, you quickly put on your clothes and go out, and people will come in a while." I'm heating this rice myself, can't I even heat it up a little bit?"

Zhou Shujie said when he heard it. "Mother, I'll help you warm it up." My second brother, when they came, let them wait for a while. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, there was a knock on the door outside.

Her mother-in-law said. "Hurry up and get dressed and go out, I'll cook my own food in a while." Go out to buy things, go shopping and get more money, don't wait until you see good things, the money is not enough, take these for you, buy what you like, our family is now, it's not bad. ”

What this old lady said was really atmospheric!

Zhou Shujie happily responded. "Hey, I see, mother. ”

took the 500 yuan given by her mother-in-law, put it in the pocket of her clothes, picked up a small quilt and went out.

This quilt is used to cover the legs for a while in the car.

In fact, Zhou Shujie herself also prepared 500 yuan, she just wanted to go to the city to see what good things there were and buy some at home.

Now plus the five hundred that her mother-in-law gave her, the money in her pocket is thousands.

In that era, even if it was the second generation of officials, the second generation of power did not necessarily have as much money as she took when she went out.

Without further ado, let's get down to business.

When Zhou Shujie opened the door, she saw her second brother and sister-in-law, as well as her sister-in-law waiting for her there.

In the bright sky, Zhou Shujie saw the two sisters-in-law dressed up beautifully, and thought that they also took out their best clothes and wore them.

Her second sister-in-law is a county girl who has gone to school, she is not good-looking, and her temperament is also good.

When her sister-in-law first married her eldest brother, she was dark and thin, but fortunately she was tall and had good facial features.

Looking at it now, Zhou Shujie feels that her sister-in-law has become beautiful, her skin is white, and her face is fleshy.

Well~~ It's just that the shape is very old!

As soon as they saw Zhou Shujie's body, they were amazed.

Brother Tuesday laughed and boasted. "It's worthy of being my sister, look at how smart this dress is." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou also said with a smile. "It's beautiful, and so is this dress." ”

Brother Tuesday greeted Zhou Shujie and said. "Don't be stunned, get in the car, get in the car, sit down and you're talking." ”

Zhou Shujie got into the car with a smile, sat down, covered the quilt and said to the two sisters-in-law. "The sisters-in-law are also good-looking. ”

"Drive!" Brother Tuesday saw that they were stable, and drove away.

Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile. "Don't boast. We're not as good-looking as you. You see how you wear this dress and your hairstyle looks like a noble lady in the city. Ha ha. At the end, she couldn't help but laugh herself.

Zhou Shujie couldn't help but laugh when they made fun of her.

Sister-in-law said with a smile. "Really, you have a really nice hairstyle. ”

Zhou Shujie raised his hand and touched the hairstyle on his head, and said with a smile. "It's good, my mother-in-law combed it for me." ”

As soon as they saw her appearance, the two sisters-in-law couldn't help laughing.

Enough laughter, sister-in-law Zhou said. "Yo Yo Yo, you're here to show us that you're a good mother-in-law! Let me tell you, we also have a good mother-in-law." As he spoke, he took out a few eggs from the bag he was holding in his arms and handed them to Zhou Shujie and said. "See, this is the egg that our mother-in-law boiled for us because she was afraid that we would be hungry." ”

Zhang Shujie said along with their words. "Yes, you also have a good mother-in-law, look at how much your mother-in-law is towards you, right?" ”

When the words fell, another burst of laughter rang out, and even Brother Tuesday couldn't help but laugh along.

After laughing, Sister-in-law Zhou divided the eggs one by one and said, "Eat, we all have a share." ”

Zhou Shujie was not polite, took the eggs and knocked them on the side of the car. He asked as he peeled the skin. "It's winter, why are there still eggs?"

Tuesday's sister-in-law was busy picking eggs for Tuesday's brother, so she didn't squeak.

Sister-in-law Zhou, who still knows the most about things at home, said: "There are two hens at home who love to lay eggs, and they were put into the house by my mother-in-law as soon as it was cold. Two days ago, I started laying eggs again. I've only saved six or seven children, and I'm going to cook one for one of us today. ”

Yes, when Sister-in-law Zhou said this, Zhou Shujie remembered it, isn't that what happened. As long as this chicken is fed well, it will lay eggs all year round, and the main thing is that you don't let it get cold in winter.

In this way, Zhou Shujie felt that when he came back from the city, he would also catch his hens and put them in the house, so that he could lay eggs early next spring.

It is said that three women are in one play, and if this woman doesn't sing, she will be very lively when she talks, these two sisters-in-law and a sister-in-law are. Talking and laughing all the way, Brother Tuesday felt that their topic would never end.

When I arrived in the county, I saw that it was still early, and there was still an hour before the bus departed.

Zhou Shujie, who felt a little cold, summoned his brother and sister-in-law and said. "Let's go to the restaurant and have some hot food." I can warm up after eating, (I have a cold war) Oops, I'm all frozen. ”

As soon as a few people were combined, they all followed Zhou Shujie into the only hotel in this small county.

This restaurant has been open for a few years, but few people in the village come here to eat, even if they are in the market, few people come, so the people who eat in this house are all from the county.

As soon as Zhou Shujie and the others entered the house, they saw that the hotel was still quite spacious, and they just happened to have a place, so they walked over and sat down by themselves.

When they sat down, an aunt came over and asked. "What are you all going to eat?"

At this time, there really isn't a la carte menu or anything like that. Even if you order, people won't necessarily be able to make something for you.

So Zhou Shujie asked, "What do you have to eat here in the morning?"

Auntie opened her mouth and said. "Big buns stuffed with pork and cabbage." There is also boiled rice porridge. If you want to eat vegetables. Vegetarian dishes can be fried with dried tofu and peppers, and meat dishes can be made into pork stewed vermicelli. There was a pause at this point, and then he continued. "If you don't want to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, you can also cook noodles." ”

Zhou Shujie asked her brother and sister-in-law's opinion and said. "Bring us fifteen buns and four bowls of porridge." Let's have another plate of dried tofu and stir-fried peppers. Meat dishes don't want anymore, we're in a hurry. ”

The aunt answered, brought them a pot of hot water and put it on the table, and went to the back kitchen to order food from the cook.

This back kitchen is quite sloppy, it doesn't matter how old Zhou Shujie and them wait, even the food and vegetables are served to them.

Their gang was really hungry, and the eggs they ate had long been digested, and now they saw that the food was coming up, and they didn't need anyone to invite them, and they didn't use anyone to let them, so they started to eat with chopsticks.

To say that this dried tofu pepper is really a dish with the characteristics of the times, at that time, I went to the restaurant to eat and ordered a plate of dried tofu peppers, which was a good dish.

In their large dish, the dried tofu is quite good, and the sharp peppers are all half-red and not red, and they are picked and stored in the cellar in the autumn.

Although the taste is slightly poor, people at this time really don't pick anything, and it is still so fragrant in the mouth.

Zhou Shujie's bowl of porridge, three buns under the stomach, this body is also hot, and the stomach is full, so I put on the chopsticks.

Her two sisters-in-law too, each ate three large meat buns.

After eating the fifth bun on Tuesday, he looked up and saw that there was still a bun left in the basin. Zhou Shujie and the others all put their chopsticks away. He reached out and took the bun too, and filled it into his stomach in a few bites.

When they were full, they sat in the restaurant and drank boiling water.

When the time came, Zhou Shujie and the others went to catch the car.

Before leaving, Sister-in-law Tuesday followed the second brother. "When we're gone, you'll drive the ox cart to my mother's." Save the weird cold outside, you eat there at noon, and when the car comes back in the evening, you come up here to pick us up. ”

Brother Tuesday answered. "Okay, I see, I'll be over in a moment." Be careful when you go out on the streets, hold on to the money, and don't let people steal it. ”

"Good. ”

When I saw that the three of them got into the car and sat down.

The car also drove away, and on Tuesday my brother drove the ox cart to his mother-in-law's house.
