"What do you want? ”

The person who came in from outside the door grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her hand and interrupted her whimsy.

"Ouch, it's Jihong's sister-in-law, why do you have time to come over today? Have you eaten?" Seeing the person coming, the waiter greeted him warmly.

Liu Jihong unceremoniously picked a table that was wiped clean and sat down: "I didn't eat until I came to you, bring me a bowl of peach blossom noodles, and the meal ticket will be given to you in a while." ”

"What's polite to me, I'll invite you to this meal, it's rare to play with me." The waiter said, shouting to the back kitchen, "A bowl of peach blossom noodles!"

"That's embarrassing. Liu Jihong said so, holding the melon seeds in his hand and swallowing it neatly, he had no consciousness of paying out of his pocket at all.

The waiter looked down on her in her heart, but who made her husband a member of the county revolutionary committee and was in charge of the life and death of his own man. I had to think I was unlucky and paid for it.

"Sister-in-law, you are unlucky, you can meet the director and Commissioner Liu one step earlier. The waiter complained in his heart, but his hands and feet diligently wiped the table with a rag and handed over chopsticks and spoons.

"They also come here to eat?" asked Liu Jihong casually.

"No, I'm here to entertain guests. You don't know, a group of outsiders came today, several in military uniforms, and the director sent them to the big mansion at the corner of the street. The waiter Balabala said gossip.

Liu Jihong said disapprerovingly: "What's so strange about this, maybe someone was sent from above to inspect our county, the environment of the guest house is too poor, and it is normal to arrange people to live there." ”

Having said that, Liu Jihong is really envious of that big house.

A few years ago, she went to the street park to line up to set off rice cannons, passed by the high-walled compound, and looked through the crack in the door.

If I can move there, I have no regrets in my life.

But I can only think about it in my heart, and I don't dare to say it with my own man. Her man is ambitious, and in order to be promoted and commended, his family is detained by him and has almost no freedom of speech. I'm afraid that his family will drag him back.

When the couple made love at the bedside, they would be reprimanded by him if they didn't pay attention to a few complaints. If he knew that he still wanted a good house in the hands of the government, God knows what he would do to her.

If it weren't for the little slut Zhao Ru at the beginning, and seeing that he was from the county Revolutionary Committee, he married him, he could be transferred to work in the county factory, and he wouldn't marry such a man if she was killed. It's crazy to live a one-time life.

Thinking of this, Liu Jihong felt tasteless eating his favorite peach blossom noodles.

"No more!"

She threw away the chopsticks with a "snap", got up and said "go", and the person had left the hotel.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, looked down at the peach blossom noodles on the table that had only taken a few bites, and his heart twitched with pain: "I'm sick! Eat for a while and don't eat for a while, and it's not your own money that you don't feel distressed about!

At that time, Liu Jihong had just left the hotel and was wrapped in a thin tweed coat. This dress is colder than the old padded jacket that has been worn for three years, but I am reluctant to take it off.

Who made this a new dress, a thick tweed coat can't afford it, buy a thin one to suit the occasion. Otherwise, the gang of broken mouths in the factory would not have seized the opportunity to sneer. Say that you don't even buy new clothes in the first year of your wedding.

It's annoying, her man's salary is not low in Ninghe County, and he doesn't know how many times more generous than those who dig in the field. Eating national rice, there are usually various tickets to receive, and life should be very smooth.

But I am angry at home, my mother-in-law is still in charge, and she holds economic power. Not only did her man's income have to be handed over, but even half of the salary she earned had to be paid out. Leave her five yuan a month and scold her for being a loser. When you meet someone who needs their family to add money for a happy event, let her take out her wallet and paper bag at the end. It's just an iron rooster, no, an iron hen!

The belly was happy, and when she met Yingfang and her party who recognized the door and were about to rush to the dock, she couldn't help but be surprised: Why did Shu Yingfang come? The baby she was holding in her hand should be her child. Seeing that it was a girl, could it be that she gave birth to a daughter who didn't please her husband, so she ran back to her parents' house in a fit of anger?

Thinking like this, Liu Jihong, ignoring the existence of other people, wrapped his coat tightly, raised his chin and took a few steps forward proudly, and when he was about to meet Yingfang head-on, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah! Isn't this Xiao Shu? Aren't you in the provincial capital? Why are you going back to your hometown at this time?

Seeing Yingfang looking up and looking surprised, the corners of Liu Jihong's mouth hooked up with a smug smile.

"Why? Don't you know me? I'm Liu Jihong, a native of Haicheng, when I went to the countryside before, my household registration was leaning on your commune. Now that I am no longer there, the county, for the sake of my lover's face, transferred me to a gadolinium cotton factory. Oh, you don't know I'm married, right? I've been married for a few months, and my lover is from the county Revolutionary Committee, not far from here, and I'll take you to meet you before it's time to go to work?"

"No, I'll catch the next boat. Ying Fang replied with a faint expression.

It's not that she didn't recognize Liu Jihong, but she was very surprised - a sworn enemy who had hurt her, never relieved each other, and was not ready to ease the stiff relationship, suddenly pulled you to chatter and talk about homely, this style of painting is called abnormal.

Hearing Yingfang's refusal, Liu Jihong breathed a sigh of relief. If you really lead Shu Yingfang to the county revolutionary committee, it will be bad. The man warned her not to lead irrelevant people to his workplace.

So he followed Yingfang's words and said, "Oh, you want to catch a boat back to the commune? Later, in the county seat, you can go to the cotton ginning factory to play with me, but if the ticket is not enough, you can also come to me to change. ”

Seeing the various envious eyes cast by the residents passing by, Liu Jihong's vanity was greatly satisfied. Shu Yingfang won't ask her for tickets or ask for help or anything, she is happy to be a good person.

When Yingfang was pulled by Liu Jihong to speak, the old man and his party who walked in front thought that she had met a fellow countryman, stopped while talking, waited for her, and continued to walk forward when it was over.

"Sister-in-law Jihong, do you know this group of people?" The waiter came behind Liu Jihong at some point, and swallowed melon seeds enviously after the operation, "I really envy you, even such a big man knows." ”

"What kind of big shot?" Liu Jihong was still stuck in the envious eyes of passers-by, and was stunned when he heard the words.

"With the northern accents I just mentioned, it's not a big man who can be entertained by the director before and after the saddle!" the waiter glanced at her strangely.

Liu Jihong: "......"

She didn't see it at all, just paying attention to Shu Yingfang, bent on hitting her from arrogance.
