Zhou Xiaoan greeted the neighbors politely, and everyone enthusiastically gathered around, if it weren't for Aunt Tang and Tang Huilan to find a vacancy and quickly take her away, she wouldn't be able to get out of half of the time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now there is no Zhou family living in this courtyard, and after Zhou Yuehai donated the house to the state, Zhou Xiaoshui's family also moved to a temporary resettlement house in the mine.

It is a house made of planks and mud next to the mine, far from the city, the environment is harsh, a layer of black coal ash on sunny days, and mud everywhere on rainy days, which is dirtier than the countryside.

Wang Lamei and Zhou Xiaozhu framed Zhou Xiaoan for the house, although Zhou Xiaoshui did not participate, he also connived without saying a word, if Zhou Xiaoan hadn't said a word of love, Zhou Yuehai would not have let him get out of the way.

Now that Zhou Xiaoan has come to the courtyard, he is really not going home, but as a guest.

Aunt Tang's family entertained Zhou Xiao'an as a distinguished guest, especially Tang Huilan's engagement, and Aunt Tang's family was grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts.

If Zhou Xiaoan hadn't come up with the idea of taking Tang Huilan to give gifts, Tang Huilan would not have had such a good job in the handicraft factory, let alone find such a good partner.

A few people walked into the house with a smile and a smile, and met Aunt Tang's neighbor Sun Wanguo, who was taking off only a big pants to take a shower outside.

This is Sun Wanguo's quirk, people miners come up from the mine, they all go to the mine to take a bath and change clothes, he has been like a day for more than ten years, never in the unit bathhouse, are all home to take a shower, the cold and heat are used to the cold water in the yard so head-by-head, the neighbors are used to it.

But today Zhou Xiao'an is a guest, and she is a little girl's house, so when she saw a big man taking a shower like this, and making the dirty black water flow, Aunt Tang's face was a little uncomfortable, and she quickly pulled Zhou Xiaoan into the house, and did not forget to complain.

"Sun Hulu is weird, a big man, and he is still afraid of taking a bath in the bathhouse? The whole land is next to their house, and there is no dry time for a day! ”

Sun Wanguo usually talks surprisingly little, and everyone says that he is a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, so he has the nickname Sun Hulu.

Zhou Xiaoan had seen Sun Wanguo take a shower like this since he walked through, and he didn't feel offended to see him like this, so he comforted Aunt Tang for a few words, and went to see Fan Wenxiang's clothes with Tang Huilan.

This is the rule of this era, new things are done, no bride price, if the conditions of both parties allow, when the man is engaged, the man buys a good dress for the woman, and the woman makes a pair of shoes or other needlework for the man.

Tang Huilan was going to knit a scarf for Fan Wenxiang and took out the purchased thread to show Zhou Xiaoan.

Aunt Tang didn't mention the topic of Sun Hulu anymore, but Tang Qingjun began to gossip with a smile.

"He's not afraid of soaking in the bathhouse, if he's really so thin-skinned, he can't take off his pants every day and wash them in the yard! Everyone said that he came back to see his daughter-in-law! Said that none of the four children in their family were of his species! ”

Aunt Tang slapped Tang Qingjun out, and discussed with Zhou Xiaoan to make a set of woolen Lenin clothes for Tang Huilan with the engaged cloth according to the style on her body.

"I've saved enough cloth tickets and industrial coupons, and I'll make a new coat for Xiaolan! It's the same as this one on Xiao An! Wear it with a waist and legs, which is really beautiful! ”

In this era, there is no such thing as hitting shirts, and it is normal to make clothes according to the way of someone's body.

Aunt Tang loves her daughter, knowing that the period before marriage is the last time for her daughter to dress up and enjoy her happiness, and when she gets married in the future, she will have children immediately, and she may never have the opportunity to dress well. So I made great efforts to make clothes for Tang Huilan.

Tang Huilan was also a little shy and a little happy to pull Zhou Xiao'an, "Xiao An, lend me your bicycle tomorrow, Xiao Fan said that we are going to take an engagement photo." ”

When taking engagement photos and wedding photos, many people will borrow clothes, watches, and bicycles.

Of course Zhou Xiaoan doesn't mind, "I also lend you a coat to wear, you will be thinner if you wear it, and you can't see it if you don't button it when you take pictures, just so that the new sweater inside can be exposed!" ”

Zhou Xiaoan stayed at Tang Huilan's house for most of the day, Aunt Tang was good at craftsmanship, and she cut Tang Huilan's clothes according to Zhou Xiaoan's appearance, and went out to borrow a sewing machine for her to make it quickly.

Zhou Xiaoan and Tang Huilan hid in the house and whispered for a long time, learned to knit sweaters for a while, and finished weaving the ball of wool they brought with them and prepared to go home.

No one will eat at someone else's house if they have nothing to do, and hospitality can't always eat bran dumplings, right? But I can't afford a meal of fine grain, and I can eat a family's ration for a month.

Tang Huilan was not polite to Zhou Xiaoan, and said that after taking photos tomorrow, Fan Wenxiang invited the two of them to eat noodles, and sent her out.

Zhou Xiaoan didn't need her to send it, and asked her to go back and quickly weave a scarf for Fan Wenxiang, but she didn't listen, "The fool in the courtyard doesn't know what's wrong recently, something is wrong, I'll send you to the bus stop, or I won't worry." ”

The fool in the miscellaneous courtyard has always been smirking and basking in the sun, and when he goes crazy, he also beats his mother Wang lame, and never messes with the neighbors. But that's not the case lately.

"The two girls in the next yard went to their house to sell toothpaste skins, and wanted to go into the house to call Wang lame, but he suddenly went crazy and wanted to pull the hands of other girls!"

Tang Huilan was still a little scared when she talked about this, and hugged Zhou Xiaoan's arm tightly, "We have lived in the same courtyard with him for more than ten years, I really don't see that he still has this evil heart!" You'll have to walk around when you look at him in the future! My mom has to pick me up at the station when I come back now, I'm afraid I'll run into him! ”

He's a fool, and he didn't really do anything, so no one can do anything to him, but if an innocent girl lets a fool stop him, then it won't be clear in the future!

There was just a light snow outside, the weather in early winter, it was not so cold, the snow fell to the ground and turned into dirty ice ballast and muddy water, the weather was gloomy, walking on the road made people feel that the cold wind and moisture drilled straight into the cracks of the bones.

Zhou Xiaoan and Tang Huilan trotted close to the station, and as soon as they got out of the small street, they saw Zhou Yuehai standing under the big tree on the side of the road.

Tang Huilan suddenly showed a reassuring smile, "Your uncle is here to pick you up!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease if you went back by yourself! ”

When Zhou Yuehai saw them, he also hurriedly greeted them, and without waiting to speak, he first unfolded the cotton coat he was holding and wrapped Zhou Xiaoan.

Zhou Xiaoan felt that the coat might have been held in Zhou Yuehai's arms for a long time, warmly carrying his body temperature, as well as the dry and warm smell on his body, and wrapped her tightly, with the illusion of being held in his arms.

Zhou Yuehai said a few words to Tang Huilan, and Tang Huilan said goodbye happily.

Zhou Yuehai carefully tidied up Zhou Xiaoan's coat, put the collar up to protect her frozen little face, rubbed her slightly red nose, and smiled lowly, "I know that you will definitely not come out in thick clothes!" A beauty-loving little girl! (To be continued.) )
