At the end of the long night, with a whistle, the train arrived at the station.

He Jiandang, He Jianjun and Cui Jingdong came to greet them, the former brothers drove two mule carts of the production team, and Cui Jingdong came to pick up people instead of Red Sun Commune.

He Jianguo had only sent a telegram to his eldest brother, and Cui Jingdong appeared here, apparently because the Red Sun Commune had received the relevant orders.

Before arriving at the Red Sun Commune, riding in a mule cart in which Li Ze and Lu Jincheng were not riding in the same car, He Jianguo took the opportunity of smoking to quietly put forward his request to He Jiandang and Cui Jingdong, begging that Professor Jin and his wife be sent to the He Lou brigade.

This is not a big matter, Cui Jingdong is mainly responsible for this part, all the educated youth go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and the bad elements come to accept labor reform, as long as they go to the Red Sun Commune, they will have to pass Cui Jingdong's pass, He Jianguo opened his mouth to ask these two old guys, just to save himself from sending them elsewhere to attract dissatisfaction, saying that he is partial to the He Lou brigade. In addition, He Jianguo is a college student, and many of his classmates with a future are in important positions in the county, Cui Jingdong also wants to make a good relationship, maybe he will have to ask him for help when he is promoted in the future, so he agreed.

"Founding of the country, you ...... You're really going to get me in trouble!"

As the branch secretary of the production brigade, He Jiandang resolutely followed the footsteps of the country, and was a little unhappy to accept bad elements again, and if he came, he would have to share an extra piece of grain, and he had to worry that they would bring bad to the atmosphere of the production brigade, but his brother had something to ask for, and he was two old guys, one crippled and one crazy, and he had no reason to object, so he could only agree.

However, until the final result came out, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang did not dare to take it lightly.

Fortunately, Cui Jingdong and He Jiandang were very powerful, and after reading the letter of introduction, the cadres of the Red Sun Commune called the branch secretaries and captains of the various production brigades under their command to hold a meeting, and invited Li Ze and Lu Jincheng to attend and introduce the identity of the seven people. After the discussion, in accordance with the request of the Shanghai side, Professor Jin and seven others were sent to the poorer production brigade to undergo labor reform.

Many production brigades said that they had enough people there and were unwilling to accept them, so Cui Jingdong opened his mouth and said that the Helou brigade had not accepted educated youths, but only accepted three bad elements, and the burden was not heavy, so the commune cadres distributed three of them to the Helou brigade.

There were a total of seven people, and three of them were distributed in the past, and the commune may feel that it was a bit excessive, so Cui Jingdong asked He to choose the party.

"The land of our Helou production brigade is barren, the harvest has always been relatively small, and the value of the work is low, and the young and strong people dare not ask for it, so they want the three oldest, if they can't work, they won't have work, and if they don't have work, they don't have to give them a lot of food to eat. He Jiandang casually ordered Professor Jin, Granny Jin and another old man who was older than Professor Jin, named Ma Tianlong.

Ma Tianlong was originally a small leader in a gang in old Shanghai, after the founding of the country, he was unlucky with the big boss, all the family property was confiscated, the big boss dug dung, and died more than ten years ago, he has been sweeping the streets, and now he is distributed to the countryside.

Qi Shufang has been paying attention with her mental power, and when she got this result, she finally put her mind at ease.

As long as Professor Jin and Granny Jin arrived at the Helou Brigade, she would have the confidence to secretly take care of the second elder, at least let the second elder be fed.

Li Ze and Lu Jincheng made a special inquiry, and learned that the He Lou brigade was indeed the poorest production brigade under the Red Sun Commune, and knew that what He Jianguo and Qi Shufang said was true, but they still had to follow the various production brigades, personally see their specific arrangements for the bad elements, and go back to report to the top truthfully, so that the mission was over.

Three of the seven people were assigned to the Helou Brigade, and they followed him to the Helou Brigade first.

He Jiandang directly arranged Ma Tianlong to be a companion with Chen Sanchuan in the cowshed, and originally wanted to arrange Professor Jin in the cowshed, but Professor Jin broke his legs and brought a crazy woman. The crazy woman arranged it with Jin Daxiu and Ding Xuelan, He Jiandang was worried that when Jin Daxiu and Ding Xuelan went to work, no one was watching, so the crazy woman came out and ran wildly, injuring the children, so he simply arranged Professor Jin and Granny Jin in a hut to the west of the cowshed.

When He Jiandang arranged these people, He Jianguo and Qi Shufang did not plan to come forward, they were worried that it would be too much and arouse suspicion.

They will not be able to see Professor Kim and Granny Kim for two days.

Qi Shufang was more thoughtful, and in the Red Sun Commune, while Li Ze and Lu Jincheng were going to a meeting, she asked He Jianguo to quietly stuff four steamed buns into Professor Jin's package, barely able to support two days. Before getting into the car, Li Ze and Lu Jincheng searched the packages of seven people, and they didn't even let go of their bodies, but fortunately, Professor Jin thought of this, and in addition to the torn clothes, the package was a thin bed of torn bedding. The other five people each got two steamed buns, and they quietly hid them, all of them silently.

However, Li Ze, Lu Jincheng and their husband and wife traveled all the way, ate a lot of game, and had a good impression of He Jianguo, so after arranging for Professor Jin, they asked He Jianguo and He Jiandang to accompany them, and led them to the other four production teams.

Qi Shufang was not idle, they returned from Shanghai with large bags and small bags, and the courtyard was soon crowded with women and children.

"Shufang, did I buy the smock I asked you to buy?"

"Where's my shirt?"

"Shufang, isn't Shanghai lively? Isn't it particularly prosperous? Are the people there dressed fashionably?"

"Shufang, did you buy me the colored quilt I wanted?"

Zhang Cuihua relied on the fact that she was Qi Shufang's sister-in-law, and squeezed to the front, "Shufang, did I buy the leather shoes that I bought? And all the clothes that your second brother wants to buy, have you bought them?"

"Bought it, bought it. Don't worry, everyone, I bought everything you wanted, and everyone came one by one. Qi Shufang hurriedly spoke, first took out the women's cowhide shoes that Zhang Cuihua wanted, and then took out a women's blouse that she and He Jianjun wanted, a set of tunics, two thrifty collars, twenty feet of blue cotton cloth specially cut before packing, and a pair of 765 pigskin shoes, "Second sister-in-law, twenty-two leather shoes, twelve smocks, twenty-two tunics, two false collars for a total of two yuan, six cents and one foot of cotton cloth, twenty feet is twelve yuan, pigskin shoes are seven yuan and six cents and five, you and the second brother gave seventy yuan, and I am short of the money for a pair of pigskin shoes." ”

"There are still seven dollars and six cents and five cents left, and you will give it to you. Zhang Cuihua took out a handful of change and counted out seven yuan, six cents and five to Qi Shufang, and then held the things in her arms, smiling happily, and did not dislike the flaws on other goods except pigskin shoes.

Wang Chunling pushed her over, "You get the things and leave quickly, don't occupy an area." Shufang, what about our family?"

"Oh, let me see, the eldest brother asked for a set of tunics and a big Wen Jiàn satchel, and the sister-in-law asked for a blouse and a pair of polyester pants, polyester pants are nine yuan a piece, and a saving collar, a pair of nylon socks, a pair of 765 leather shoes and twenty feet of black cotton, nylon socks are two pieces of five pairs, the black Dawen Jiàn shoulder bag is eighty percent new, Huaiguo bought the old, real cowhide, the price is more expensive, twenty yuan, a total of seventy-four yuan and one cent. Sister-in-law, your family sent me twenty-four yuan and one dime. ”

When she heard that she had so much money, Wang Chunling's flesh was extremely painful, and she trembled and paid for something, and muttered: "I really shouldn't let your eldest brother ask for things, what can a Wen Jiàn satchel do? ”

The others went crazy when they saw the more fashionable clothing styles that were obviously different from those in the county town.

Qi Shufang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took out a floral shirt and a pair of polyester pants that Shen Yaowu brought with her, "The shirt is nine yuan." Yaowu, you gave me twenty yuan, and I will find you two yuan. ”

Shen Yaowu took the clothes and money and happily withdrew from the crowd.

"I have to declare first: I don't have a ticket with Jianguo, these clothes and fabrics are all processed goods, bought in a thrift store, although they are new, but there is something more or less faulty, otherwise they would not be placed in a thrift store. So, if you see crooked buttons, slanted collars, or uneven dyeing of fabrics, it's definitely not that we're deliberately shoddy!"

Busy for most of the day, except for He Jianguo's two sworn brothers, whose homes were far away and no one was there, Qi Shufang finally handed over the things that others wanted to them one by one, and the money was collected by herself for seventy-three yuan and nine cents, and ten yuan and two cents were returned.

The people who got the things and the people who didn't buy them refused to leave, and asked her what she had seen in Shanghai.

"Shanghai is very lively, Shanghainese people are very spiritual, I also learned a few words of Shanghai dialect! Shanghai's fried steamed buns are very delicious, Huaihai Road Chunjiang store is particularly authentic, can be paired with casserole stewed tofu noodle soup or curry beef soup, but unfortunately we came too quickly, I didn't drink the authentic curry beef soup. The Shanghai building is very high, with more than 20 floors, and the department store is also very high, and there are a lot of things in it, and there are also a lot of things in the thrift store, and each one has a large number of used clothes, and there is no need for a ticket......"

Qi Shufang's mouth was dry, and everyone reluctantly went home to cook at eleven o'clock.

He Jianguo was not at home, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back at noon, plus he didn't clean inside and out, Qi Shufang was not in the mood to cook, so she ate some game and steamed buns left over from the train, and did things hastily, and then cleaned the room and put things away.

It took her more than an hour to put the things where they should be, Shen Yaowu walked in sullenly, tears falling down one by one, "Shufang, you say, you say, do you say I'm easy? I finally saved twenty yuan and asked you to buy me clothes, I don't want to go out and always borrow clothes." As a result, my sister saw it and clamored for it, so my mother asked me to give her the clothes!"

Qi Shufang was taken aback, "You gave it to her?"

Shen Yaowu's sister is called Shen Lingling, who was born in the same year as Qi Shufang, but she is half a year younger than Qi Shufang and has not yet married, but she has already said that she is a good mother-in-law, so she will marry after Shen Yaowu marries. Now that Shen Yaowu's marriage has failed, Shen Lingling's mother-in-law seems to be unable to wait, Shen Lingling may marry first, before going to Shanghai, Qi Shufang has heard an ear of gossip.

Shen Yaowu cried very sadly, "I don't want to give! Shufang, I don't want to give! But my mother snatched it up! She also said that I had no partner, and I was not in a hurry to get married, so I would wear this dress for Lingling's wedding! Lingling's wedding date was set for the eighth day of the first month of March. ”

Qi Shufang was speechless about Shen Sandan's wife's approach.

"Your sister robbed your clothes and didn't give you money?" If she gave money, she would have two extra shirts here, that is, the two that she bought for Zhou Guohong and Bai Yinghong, because she repented and gave a handkerchief instead, and the shirts were extra out, so she could give one to Shen Yaowu.

"If I had been given money, I wouldn't have been so upset. That's eighteen yuan, not eight yuan, not eight cents, I have been a teacher for several years before I saved that twenty yuan. My sister is a white wolf with empty gloves, but my mother didn't say a word, and said that I was old and should let the younger one go! Why? Why should I let her when I am old? Why should I be criticized when my second grandfather can't live a life and ask for support? How can others know that I wrote a letter for my second grandfather? If she hadn't told him, how could I have lost my job? In the end, she was the one who took my job!" Shen Yaowu cried breathlessly, his face full of hatred.

Qi Shufang's eyes widened, she was thinking at the time, the correspondence was relatively private, how could others know that the leader had sent letters and money to Shen Er's grandfather? How did she know that it was Shen Yaowu who wrote a letter for Shen Er's grandfather to ask for support, and it turned out that Shen Lingling had told her the secret! No wonder Shen Erdan's family calmly accepted the commune's criticism and disposal, and the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders!

Shen Yaowu was obviously heartbroken, Qi Shufang went to his uncle's house with He Jianguo at night, and Wang Chunling, who went to visit the door after dinner, hurried in from outside, saying that Shen Erdan's house was lively, and Shen Yaowu filled the clothes that Shen Lingling had snatched into the burning stove and burned them to ashes.

What? Shen Yaowu actually did this?

She let go of her mental power and shrouded Shen Erdan's house, only to see Shen Erdan's wife and Shen Lingling's mother and daughter beating Shen Yaowu, scolding and scolding in their mouths, nothing more than saying that Shen Yaowu was a stingy ghost from a ruined family, and he didn't know how to be polite to his sister. And Shen Yaowu was not to be outdone, turned over and overwhelmed Shen Lingling, and gave her several slaps in the face, which made the corners of Shen Lingling's mouth crack, and blood flowed.

Shen Yaowu refuted the accusations of his mother and sister while fighting, until he alarmed the neighbors to come to fight and persuade him, and when he saw Shen's second grandfather coming in tremblingly, Shen Yaowu cried and said that his mother was partial and his sister was greedy.

This...... Is this a bloody case caused by new clothes?

Qi Shufang wanted to look again, and when she heard Wang Chunling ask her husband and wife what was the matter, she hurriedly retracted her mental strength and replied: "I finally went to Shanghai and bought a Mao suit for my father, and I will send it when I am ready." Today we sent some food, we bought a box of small cakes, a box of ten yuan, one for each child, the remaining three for the father, one for the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and one for the second brother and sister-in-law. ”

There is also a cream cake, which is divided into three, one for each of the uncles and two uncles, one for their own families, and one pound for Jiang rice noodles and biscuits.

"Cakes, Jiang rice noodles, biscuits?"

Smelling the aroma of the room, Wang Chunling trembled with joy, and the four children had already eaten a piece of white cake in small bites, and while eating, they kept saying that their uncles and aunts were good people.

He Jiandang's anger today has also been reduced because of Professor Jin's anger, and he told He Jianguo: "I don't care what kind of person Professor Jin is, he is so bad, overseas connections, overseas connections are traitors, even if it is distributed to us, you can't have anything to do with him." If I let me know, I will kill my relatives in righteousness!"

"Big brother, don't worry, I know what to do, and I won't cause trouble for my family. Seeing He Jianjian's stern expression, He Jianguo was extremely helpless, fortunately he and Qi Shufang did not plan to have a relationship with Professor Jin openly.
