Chapter 35: I'll Go
"Yun Fang is here, just in time, the Red Army has written to you again, and he arrived in the team two days ago. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Uncle Shen rolled a cigarette cross-legged on the kang, and when he saw Shen Yunfang come in, he handed over a letter at hand.
Shen Yunfang shyly took it, this was the third letter from her fiancΓ© she received after passing through.
At the beginning, she still had some small expectations, but when she opened it, there were only a few words, nothing more than that he was very good, very busy with training, asked her if she was okay, if there was any difficulty, she could write to him, etc., of course, there was a thunderous five yuan with the letter.
She went home and flipped through the letters she had written before, and found that the content was much the same, and she had just a few words in the past, so she didn't have much to look forward to when she received the letter.
I don't know if this is the case when unmarried couples write letters in this era, or Li Hongjun is too shy.
This time, she didn't rush to look at it, and directly stuffed the letter into her jacket pocket.
chatted with Uncle Shen in the house, and learned that she could do the sheep herding work for a year, and when she turned sixteen, she would be considered an adult, and she could marry at this age in the countryside, so the team couldn't take care of her.
In other words, she can herd sheep for another year, and then she will have to work on the farm like everyone else to earn a centimeter.
"Come on, it's time to eat. Aunt Shen shouted in the kitchen, "Xiu, don't lie down, hurry up and help me serve food to the house." Xiaoli and Shu Xin hurriedly called the children back and eaten. β
Shen Yunxiu is basically the eldest lady at home, her ten fingers don't touch the spring water, her mother is sweating outside and cooking, she can lie on the kang in the house, and she can't do it without admiration.
And the children of Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhiwen's family don't know who they went to play, and they can only see people when they eat.
Shen Yunfang listened, hurriedly put the table on the kang, and then went to the kitchen to help serve the food, listening to Aunt Shen's long-winded complaints.
It's really that the meals are all set, and the young masters of the Shen family are late.
"What do you say I'm giving birth to, I'm waiting for me to serve every day, and no one says anything to help me. "Older women have this kind of temperament, and they love to talk about everything. "Where are you guys playing, it's so dirty, your mother doesn't care, hurry up and wash your hands. β
"Okay, let's not say a word, eat. Uncle Shen was also tired of listening, so he picked up chopsticks and started eating.
If the Shen family is all there, there are a lot of people, a total of twelve people, old and young, and with Shen Yunfang, there will be thirteen people, all of whom can't sit down on the kang, so the meal is divided into two tables, one table on the kang and the next table on the kang.
To say that Shen's food is really good, cabbage and potato chips, stewed dried eggplant, a large pot of sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, as well as a plate of bean buns, and a small plate of sugar.
After Shen Yunxiu was on the table, she directly dragged the sugar to herself, and glanced at Shen Yunfang defiantly, which meant to be dominant.
Shen Yunfang is not as knowledgeable as a child, even if there is no sugar, she is very happy to eat.
But the second sister-in-law is comfortable and doesn't do it, she doesn't care if others eat it or not, but her son is only two years old, and no one who doesn't eat it can't miss a bite of her son.
"Yunxiu, give your nephew a little sugar, the child is small, and he doesn't like to eat it without sugar. β
"If you don't like to eat, don't eat it, I've been used to it since I was a child, and I can grow up. Shen Yunxiu has been domineering at home since she was a child, so she said it without even thinking about it.
Shu Xin put his face off at that time.
"Xiu, what are you talking about, are you still like an aunt? Aunt Shen is not as tiger as her girl, hurry up to remedy, "Comfortable, your sister has no heart, don't go to your heart, you know where the sugar jar at home is, you scoop the sugar for Xiao Tao yourself." β
Shu Xin still had no expression on his face, but when he was about to rush out of his mouth, he swallowed it back, put the chopsticks down, stood up and went to the kitchen to get candy.
The three brothers of Shen Ninghao, the old family, stopped doing it when they heard that their younger brother had candy to eat, and they screamed that they wanted to eat candy, and Wang Li, the sister-in-law in the lobby, only cared about eating by herself and did not stop the child.
In the end, Aunt Shen had no choice, so she asked Shu Xin to bring the sugar jar at home and share some sugar by one person, so that she could stop eating.
Of course, Shen Yunfang also got a point.
Shen Yunfang doesn't eat sugar very rarely, her family also buys white sugar, usually when she drinks porridge, she likes to scoop a spoonful of sugar, and today's dish is quite appetizing to her. I also sandwiched a few chopsticks of dried eggplant, and secretly decided in my heart that next spring, she will also order a variety of dishes, and she will also dry vegetables in autumn and eat them in winter.
Aunt Shen saw that she had almost eaten, so she babbled about the second girl's family.
From their words, Shen Yunfang understood. Shen Erbo's eldest daughter married in the county last year, and her mother-in-law's family was a little capable, so she found a formal job for her daughter-in-law in the countryside, which was to distribute waste products at the scrap collection station.
Although this job is a regular job, it is not a good job. Think about it, in this day and age, every family is so tight, what kind of good things can be sold to the scrap yard, and she has to classify these things one by one, so this job is dirty and tiring.
Shen Yunfeng, the eldest daughter of Shen Erbo's family, suddenly fainted when she was working at the scrap yard two days ago, and only after being sent to the hospital did she find out that she was pregnant, but the fetal phase was unstable, and the doctor suggested that it was best not to do heavy physical work.
The in-law's family is such a son, and he has been looking forward to it for a year before he can be regarded as looking forward to his grandson, of course, he can't let his daughter-in-law go to work again on a cold day, and besides, it's snowing outside, how can he fix it if he accidentally slips.
Shen Yunfeng is very pleased that her mother-in-law's family attaches great importance to her children, but she is reluctant to pay 22 yuan a month, and another reason is that her foundation in the unit is not stable, and she is afraid that after she rests at home until the fetus is stable, her job will be topped.
The leading comrades were concerned about the little comrades, and also for the sake of the two catties of meat in the kitchen, so they opened up and agreed to this request.
That's why Shen Yunfeng sent a letter to her mother's family, wanting her sister-in-law to replace her for a few days, if the sister-in-law can't come, let the uncle's cousin come too.
But her sister-in-law Shen Yunling is only thirteen this year, and she has caught a cold in the past two days, so her mother is a little reluctant. He paid attention to Shen Yunxiu.
But although Shen Yunxiu is a rural girl, her father is the captain of the production team, and the old lady still loves her, so that the child's heart is much higher than that of ordinary people.
That kind of dirty, tiring work with no social status, what kind of work she can do.
So in the end, among these people in the Shen family, there are really no people who can leave their homes and businesses to help in the past during the Chinese New Year, either they are young or have an object, and during the New Year, they can't go to the Yue family to brush their sense of existence, so they can't go. In the end, I thought of Shen Yunfang, an orphan girl.
Anyway, she is alone, and it doesn't matter where she spends the New Year.
Although she also has her mother-in-law's family, her mother-in-law's family, when she came to move the rice in October, said that the rice would be used as a New Year's gift, and if she took it away at that time, Shen Yunfang didn't have to go again during the New Year.
Look at this is not good.
After listening to Aunt Shen's words, Shen Yunfang's first reaction was to refuse, not to mention anything else, if she went to live in the county for a month, what would she do with the leeks and earthworms in her West House.
But after thinking about it, she was going to the county's acquisition station, where there should be something she desperately needed......
"What do you think, do you want to give a word, if this good thing doesn't depend on your father's mother, it really won't be your turn, hum. Shen Yunxiu saw that Shen Yunfang didn't thank Ling Ling for agreeing at the first time, and immediately stood up her little eyes.
"Fart, can't speak, you shut up for me. Uncle Shen angrily dropped the chopsticks in his hand, and said so in front of him, what does this mean, what does it mean?
Shen Yunxiu didn't dare to talk back to his father and was not convinced, so he could only glare at Shen Yunfang fiercely, and then poked the bean bag in his bowl with chopsticks, and treated the bean bag as a person.
"Oh, look at you, Yun Fang finally came to have a meal, what kind of temper are you extruding. Whatever Xiu says, it's all unintentional, Yun Fang doesn't care what kind of anger you have here. Aunt Shen frowned and dragged her old man, she was such a big girl, and she scolded in front of so many people, how could she do it.
Shen Yunxiu listened to her mother's words, her eyes were also red, and her temper came, so she threw away her chopsticks, twisted her body and went back to her house to get angry.
"Hey, you kid, why don't you eat. Have you eaten enough? "Aunt Shen saw that her girl's little temper came up again, and she couldn't do it. The girl had no choice but to turn around and appease Shen Yunfang again. "Yun Fang, your sister Xiu doesn't mean anything else, don't take it to heart. β
Shen Yunfang ate almost, put down the chopsticks, people have a father and mother who are in pain, if they are right or wrong, they all have their parents in charge, like her, even if they are not satisfied, what can they do.
Uncle Shen saw that his girl was angry again, but he was still afraid that there were outsiders, so he didn't scold, picked up the cigarette and lit it and smoked.
"Originally, your aunt said to let your sister Xiu help, but you also know that your sister Xiu's temperament was spoiled by your aunt, so I don't know, I don't know what to do, I don't want to go, I think it's embarrassing, you say that we are farmers, rely on strength to eat, why are you stumbling. β
Shen Yunfang agreed in her heart, but she couldn't nod.
"Originally, if your sister Xiu didn't go to this matter, your aunt would go and tell your second aunt and it would be over, but last night your aunt told me, let me ask if you want to go, the main thing is to work not for nothing, and you Sister Feng will give you a salary of five yuan for a month. If you have the five dollars, it's good whether you save them or buy some needles and threads. If there is a good thing, we have to come with our own relatives, I thought about it, it is this principle, so I brought you here today to ask you, do you want to go. Shen Yeqing finished speaking.
Shen Yunfang lowered her head and thought about it, weighed the gains and losses in her heart, and finally nodded in agreement, "I'll go." β
