"It's all the same, it's both of you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Tu Bamei picked up the towel on the wire behind Jiang Youchun, wiped away the tears on Gu Xi's face, and smiled at Jiang Youchun, "They like you, you can help me take a look at them, I'll go to the garden to pinch some food, cook and eat early, you go back to rest early, you've worked hard for the past two days." ”

"Auntie, it's really not hard, it's much easier than living in the field." Jiang Youchun hurriedly said that he still came back to the town to be a guest, although Tu Bamei's house was smaller than his house, and the furnishings at home were not necessarily much better than his house, but he still had a lingering sense of inferiority and crampedness as a countryman in his heart.

After Tu Bamei put down Gu Xi's busy work, Jiang Youchun felt that she should find something to do, it was not a matter for an adult man to sit with two children. In the past, the old-fashioned bungalows were all outhouses connected to the inner rooms and self-built kitchens, all the way to the end, and he could see the firewood piled up in the kitchen at a glance from where he sits.

Collecting firewood used to be the responsibility of the fourth and fifth children, but later it transitioned to the fifth and sixth children, and chopping firewood was the business of Gu Yongjun and Gu Aimin. The girls had limited strength, so Jiang Youchun picked out the roots of the trees that they couldn't chop and the ones that were relatively rough, and then wielded the axe to chop the firewood.

He was chopping wood in the kitchen, Gu Xi and Gu Ran went to pester Gu Chunfang to tell stories, and Chunfang was reading novels for them to play by themselves. Because Tu Bamei asked Jiang Youchun to take them to play, Jiang Youchun called them and told them "Monkey King is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace" while chopping wood.

"What, I heard my mother say that you went to high school, why did you drop out of school and didn't study?" Chunfang listened to Jiang Youchun's story well, and it was quite organized, so she asked.

"There are only primary schools in the countryside, and junior and senior high schools have to go to the county seat to study, and the tuition and miscellaneous expenses with accommodation and the bus fare that come and go every week add up to a lot of expenses, so I don't want to miss it." Jiang Youchun replied truthfully.

The school in the town is close to the countryside, but because it is a children's school, only the children of the families of factory workers are allowed to study, and children from the nearby countryside can only go to the county seat if they want to continue their education. It is because most rural children can go to junior high school even if they complete their lifelong education after completing primary school in the township, let alone high school.

"Do you don't want to miss it yourself, or does your family don't want to spend any more money on it?" Chunfang asked again.

“…… I don't want to miss it anymore. ”

Chunfang got up and walked to the kitchen door, leaned against the door and said, "It's a pity, if you continue to finish your studies, you will just finish the college entrance examination, and if you are admitted to college, you can change the fate of this life." ”

Jiang Youchun suddenly went down with an axe, and a piece of firewood standing in front of him fell in half, and he took another one and stood in front of him, and then said: "There's no pity, we countrymen just need to know a few words." ”

"Oh, why don't you think you're idle?" Tu Ba Mei came in with a poon choi face, "Rest quickly, you don't need to do it, how can you still work when you come back to my house for a meal, it's not enough for you to be tired during the day?" Put it down. ”

Jiang Youchun couldn't stay idle and insisted on doing it, so Tu Bamei had no choice but to let him. After chopping firewood, he took a hoe to loosen the soil and trim the vegetable field, Tu Bamei looked at him at home and chopped the neatly stacked firewood, and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, "How good it is for me to have such a son, see how beautiful this work is." ”

Chunfang said: "You want your son to chop wood and grow vegetables for you?" In the new society, men and women are equal, and your concept is backward. ”

Tu Bamei shouted: "You know a fart! Give me a side ......."

Before she finished speaking, a song passed through the hall and floated into her ears, "My sister is looking for my brother and tears are flowing, and I don't see my brother and I am sad, and my heart is sad......"

"Big brother, your level is really not covered, one word, cow!" In the next room, the young man gave the cat a thumbs up and asked him, "How much?" ”

The cat ear said: "You look at it, give it to me, give it to me more, and don't dislike it if you give it less." ”

"It didn't take much effort, three times five divided by two to solve the problem, do you think I can give five cents? Let's make friends, my name is Mao Sijie, and I will volunteer to promote your repair shop for you in the future. ”

Mao's ears grinned, "Five cents is five cents, you can also give me a trick, after that, it seems that I have to make a little mess for a long time, so I will get the money." ”

"Brother, I have no objection to you treating others like this, next time I have something to find you, I have to be merciful to me." Mao Sijie changed his words and called him a brother and a brother with Maoer, and after paying the money, he said goodbye with the radio, and bumped into Jianxin who came back from work at the door.

"Brother, brother, what's the name of the beautiful girl who lives next door?" Mao Sijie returned to Maoer's house and asked with bright eyes.

"The girls next door are all beautiful, and I don't know which one you asked." The cat ear put away the tools on the table, shook his head and blew the song that was playing on the radio.

"Eight Golden Flowers?"

Mao'er glanced at him and asked, "You were only transferred from other places, right?" ”

Mao Sijie was a little proud, "Say I don't know, say that you must have heard of my old man, my father Mao Zhaoxiang, the future director of the big collective." ”

Mao'er nodded noncommittally, he didn't use his father as a dish at all, and his reaction to Mao Sijie was like a punch in cotton, boring.

"Your dad is the director of the wool factory?" Fortunately, Aunt Liu comforted him, and Aunt Liu came in from outside just in time to hear him introduce his father.

Not long ago, the factory transferred several leading cadres from the Honghe branch, including the surname Mao, Aunt Liu has heard, "My cat ears will enter the collective, then they will be assigned to your father, and you will be asked to say good things for your father in front of your father." ”

"That's for sure, who's this?" Mao Sijie's chin tilted towards the cat's ear, "My brother." Look at my radio, it'll be fixed for me in three or two clicks. This talent, I'll recommend it to my dad when I go back, and then let my dad get my brother under him, maybe he can get an office to sit in. It's up to me, no problem. ”

Aunt Liu was overjoyed and wanted to keep him for dinner, he said, "No, I'll come back another day." ”

Mao Sijie came out with the radio, and then glanced at Tu Bamei's house before leaving.

"Don't beg for help in the future." Maoer was dissatisfied with Aunt Liu, "I don't know what do you talk to him about?" In the future, you will not be fooled in my affairs. ”

Aunt Liu said, "How can I not care? Regardless of making you a bachelor for the rest of your life? ”

Mao'er smiled and said, "Why did you get involved in beating a bachelor again?" The whole factory of men can't beat your son. As far as your son and I are concerned, I was not born to beat the life of a single! It's not a mess, I'll get you a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law back, and you'll see. ”

Seeing the triumphant joy of the cat's ears, Aunt Liu felt very uncomfortable, she was a colleague with Sister Jiang's sister-in-law before she retired, and in the morning she rushed to the supply and marketing cooperatives to weigh a few bags of sugar, and called Sister Jiang's sister-in-law to accompany Sister Jiang's family to ask her to protect the media.
