Chapter 3: The City to which I Can't Go Back
Li Chunpeng stepped on the protruding stones in the river, staggered to Sheng Lanlan's side, put his hands behind his back and asked Sheng Lanlan to guess what it was, "You can't guess!"
"I know I can't guess, so don't hurry up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sheng Lanlan didn't have the slightest impression of the fat boy who suddenly appeared in front of her, and it was funny that he pretended to be mysterious.
Overnight, many memories of Sheng Lanlan poured into Lan Lan's mind, and she now finally adapted to the identity of the girl Sheng Lanlan.
Li Chunpeng is Sheng Lanlan's classmate, with a happy appearance like a New Year's painting, his plump lips always look like he has just eaten a perfect meal, and his big plush eyes look better than a girl.
"Don't talk about pulling down, get up, don't stop me from doing laundry. Sheng Lanlan pulled the bamboo basket beside her, which was piled with a hill-like pile of clothes. Sheng Lanlan waved the mallet in a fashionable manner, and dropped the mallet on the clothes, making a popping sound.
Li Chunpeng was stunned, he didn't expect Sheng Lanlan to speak like this, "Sheng Lanlan, you have taken gunpowder, you weren't like this before." ”
"Where was I before?"
"You used to wilt and didn't like to talk. ”
"Well, what else?"
"You failed the final exam again this time, and your second aunt and second uncle didn't say anything about you?"
Sheng Lanlan pretended not to hear.
"Maybe they don't want to care about you anymore, you're a girl, and you'll have to get married sooner or later......"
"Shut up!"
Sheng Lanlan was annoyed, she hated people saying this the most. What's wrong with the girl, the girl can only get married......
"Li Chunpeng, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Yanqiu greeted from afar with a porcelain basin, and walked closer and smiled teasingly, "Do you miss your daughter-in-law?"
"Why? No, I want you to worry about it, too much. ”
"Okay! Of course, your mother told people everywhere that Sheng Lanlan was your daughter-in-law, and no one on the farm knew that Sheng Lanlan would be your daughter-in-law in the future. But ......"
Zhang Yanqiu sold a pass, and Li Chunpeng's expression immediately became nervous. Zhang Yanqiu's father is a farm publicity officer, and Zhang Yanqiu is of course well-informed.
"But now that many people have been transferred, I think Sheng Lanlan will have to be transferred back to the city with her second uncle sooner or later. ”
"No!" Li Chunpeng was angry, his round face was swollen red, he quickly grabbed Sheng Lanlan's hand, stuffed something into her hand, turned around and jumped across the river, and ran away.
Zhang Yanqiu looked at his back and giggled.
"Let me see what it is?" Zhang Yanqiu curiously pulled away Sheng Lanlan's hand.
Sheng Lanlan lay a bright red five-pointed star in his palm. Zhang Yanqiu said enviously: "It must have been Li Chunpeng who took off his brother's hat, I heard that his brother came home from visiting relatives in the army yesterday." ”
"Cockade?" Sheng Lanlan couldn't help but burst out.
Somehow, in this strange era and place, as long as she encounters something and something, she can always naturally know what it is and what to do, as if she has passed Baidu.
For example, the mallet used to wash clothes just now, although it is the first time to use it, when you hold it in your hand, you will naturally know what it is and how to use it. She felt that she must have a database of information in her brain that was ready to help her.
"Yes, it's the cockade. Li Chunpeng is really willing, and he is willing to give you such a precious thing. He's really when you're his daughter-in-law......"
Before Zhang Yanqiu finished speaking, Sheng Lanlan grabbed her and scratched her armpits.
Zhang Yanqiu smiled badly and begged for mercy......
It was almost noon when Sheng Lanlan washed her clothes. Zhang Yanqiu accompanied her to gossip all morning. Sheng Lanlan probably knew the situation of the second aunt's family.
Sheng Lanlan's cousin Sheng Jiannan, a fourth-grade student at Hongqiling Primary School, often skips school and does not write homework, loves to pull girls' braids, and once was found peeking in the toilet of a girl, and was almost arrested as a hooligan and sent to the police station. Zhao Jihong begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and finally Sheng Jiannan was criticized by the school and placed on probation.
Sheng Jiannan is going to repeat the fourth grade at the beginning of the school year, and he will be in the same grade as his sister Sheng Lingling.
The second cousins Sheng Lili and Sheng Lanlan are classmates, only one month older than Sheng Lanlan. Sheng Lanlan is a poor learner, and is often named by teachers and criticized by home visits. And Sheng Lili is a member of the study committee in the class, and she has always been the first in the whole grade in the exam, and she is a good student and the captain of the grade.
Sheng Lanlan's second aunt Zhao Jihong works in the farm mill, and her second uncle Sheng Yanong works as a mechanic on the farm.
"Actually, Li Chunpeng's family is very good, his mother is warm and informal, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be good in the future. ”
Zhang Yanqiu was only in the fifth grade at the beginning of school, but she spoke like a little adult.
Sheng Lanlan couldn't help but smile, it seems that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be considered in any era!
"Really, Li Chunpeng and his father drive a tractor to run around, there are always novelty and good things at home, his mother is the accountant of the farm commissary, and his family is the first to get the delicious food in the commissary. Besides, his brother went to serve as a soldier last year, and he will definitely be assigned to the city in the future, and his family will have to follow him into the city sooner or later. ”
"Didn't you say I could go back to the city sooner or later?"
Zhang Yanqiu hesitated and smiled embarrassedly, "I listened to what my father said, the intellectuals who were sent to the farm back then will be transferred back to the city one after another." However, your home is far away, so I don't know if you can go back. ”
Zhang Yanqiu endured and didn't say that the Sheng Lanlan family was too high, and the farm had not received instructions in this regard.
"My mom and dad should come to pick me up and my little brother!" Sheng Lanlan asked tentatively.
Hearing the conversation between the second aunt and the second uncle last night, she was a little curious about her parents. I thought that she was fostered at the second uncle's house because her parents were not there, but listening to her second aunt, they should still be alive, and she was not an orphan.
Seeing Zhang Yanqiu's dazed face, Sheng Lanlan was sure that she didn't know about her parents.
The two agreed to do their homework together in the afternoon and go home separately.
"Come back!" Sheng Jiannan poked his head out of the door curtain, and Nunu's mouth retracted.
The aroma of pancakes came from the house, and Zhao Jihong shouted Sheng Lingling cleaned up the table and set the bowl to prepare for dinner.
Sheng Lanlan put her clothes one by one on the two clotheslines in the yard, entered the door with an empty basket, stopped at the door, and stared at the curtain curiously.
In the morning, I didn't pay attention to the hurry, the door curtain was hooked together one by one, made of colorful drawing paper, wrapped on the wire with buckles on both sides, like an imitation hammer shape, coated with a layer of varnish, shining in the sun.
"Someone has to wait to lift the curtain for you!" Zhao Jihong glanced at Sheng Lanlan in a daze, and said angrily.
"This curtain is very beautiful!"
"You make another one in the afternoon, your sister-in-law will come in two days, and there is nothing to send her, this curtain is very practical, and it is just right for her to go back to the countryside and hang it." Zhao Jihong entered the house with a pancake.
"You want my mother to praise you for your dexterity, right?" Sheng Jiannan grinned and pulled the door curtain. Sheng Lanlan smiled and entered the house, Sheng Lili looked at her silently, and threw her long braids into the house.
The entrance of the Sheng family's house is a large and a small stove facing the east and west rooms, and then a small cubicle is set up, which is Sheng Jiannan's room. Sheng Lanlan lives in the Westinghouse with her two cousins and younger brother, and the folding round table for eating is also placed in the Westinghouse.
Sheng Yanong sat at the table, his face was solemn, Sheng Lingling and Sheng Lili moved over the chair where they usually wrote, and sat on the side and didn't dare to squeak. Sheng Jianfeng also saw that the second uncle's expression was not right, and he half-knelt on the stool, staring at the stack of pancakes in the center of the table and swallowing saliva.
Sheng Lanlan entered the house, and when she saw the appearance of the second uncle for the first time, she was also frightened by his expression.
