Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure
After walking around the town for a while, all that caught my eye was shabby, sloping, dirty houses with dirty walls; These are the masterpieces of the Red Guards, who wreak havoc on errands.
"Brother, the environment in the town is too bad, not as good as our village; There's nothing more to shop, let's go back! "The last time I came, I came and went in a hurry, and I wasn't in the mood to look at everything around me; Now that I have leisure, if I take a closer look, the impact on my heart is not small.
In later generations, the town was very prosperous, selling everything, and the houses became high-rise buildings and villas.
"Hmm." Lei Ce bowed his head, and his eyes fell on the sloping room, "The people in the town, not only the environment is poor, but even food and clothing are problems. ”
"It's a little better if the people in the town have two workers in the family, but if there is only one worker, they only have a fixed income; It's hard to raise a family! Chu Tianyi continued, "Brother, what do you say is life in the army?" After joining the army, do family members eat in the army canteen, or can they cook their own meals? ”
Lei Ce looked at her sideways and said in a low voice: "You can cook by yourself, and the troops will give out subsidized food and vegetables at that time; If you eat with the cafeteria, you can do it. However, in that case, it is inevitable that some gossip will come out of the troops. ”
Chu Tianyi lightly locked his eyebrows, revealing a displeasure in his eyes, "Brother, how much is the army's subsidized food?" ”
"It's twenty catties of rice a month, and about six catties of vegetables and meat! I remember that the head of the regiment and Tang Lixing's family were like this, what? ”
"The men in the army eat a lot, right? Can you eat 20 catties of rice? If you can't get enough to eat, you might as well eat in the cafeteria! "That's the key, okay? Can't get enough to eat, where is there to have the strength to train?
Lei Zer smiled with relief and pinched her soft hair, "You are right, if you rely on the subsidized food of the army, those who have military families will definitely not be able to eat; However, if they have a fixed salary in the army, they can use the salary to go out and buy food for themselves. ”
"Isn't it impossible to buy and sell?" Chu Tianyi frowned.
"Hehe......" Lei Ce chuckled: "It's a rule that you can't buy and sell privately, but it's a big problem that soldiers can't eat enough; The people above turned a blind eye, after all, they couldn't solve this problem. ”
Chu Tianyi nodded thoughtfully, and along the way, Chu Tianyi asked a lot about the troops.
The couple returned to Song's house, picked up the passbook and marriage certificate in oiled paper, and put them in Lei Ze's military luggage bag.
"Daughter-in-law, let's take the train the day after tomorrow to the troops."
Chu Tianyi was slightly shocked, "So fast? ”
"Well, I should have returned to the army as soon as my leg healed, but at that time, our marriage report and letter of introduction had not yet come down; Now that our marriage certificates have been registered, we naturally have to go back. Reitzer rummaged through the clothes in his duffel bag and picked up a few slightly new ones to put outside.
Chu Tianyi smiled and stepped forward to pick up the clothes, "Brother, you don't have to explain to me, I understand; It's just a little surprised, let's say we're leaving, are these clothes for my uncle and Jiahui? ”
"Well, the cloth ticket is not good, and my uncle's clothes are all washed white." Lei Ze looked at the clothes in the duffel bag again, and made sure that there was nothing to get out, so he pulled the zipper of the duffel bag.
"Since both uncle and Jiahui have it, then aunt can't do without, you wait." Chu Tianyi stuffed the clothes into his hands, turned around and found the black iron box from the bed.
Taking out the cloth tickets from inside, Chu Tianyi smiled, walked up to him, and put the cloth tickets on the clothes, "Brother, these two cloth tickets are what I saved before, you can send them to your aunt together, and let your aunt also buy some fabric to make new clothes." ”
"Okay." Reitzer gave her a deep look, turned and walked out.
Chu Tianyi smiled, his eyes were apologetic and soft, which was what she wanted most; Let a man with a strong sense of responsibility have regret and guilt for you, and then have his love, this man will definitely be like a jewel to you in the future life.
……
In the next two days, Lei Ce went to the town bank with 3,000 yuan every day and deposited two passbook slips of 3,000 yuan; The rest of the time I spent visiting my uncles and grandfathers in the village.
And, Chu Tianyi and Wu Cuihua made some dry food at home that they could take to eat on the road, and her things had nothing to pack, just a few clothes; Just stuff it into Leitzer's military duffel bag, saving trouble, worry and effort.
"Daughter-in-law, my aunt's house doesn't have any good things, and I can't bring you more things; These are some eggs I asked for in the village, boiled and brought to the car, and boiled in plain water when I was hungry. Wu Cuihua walked in with a small dustpan of eggs and placed them on the stove.
Chu Tianyi smiled and accepted it happily, "Thank you, aunt!" Eggs are precious, you spent a lot of money to get these eggs, right? ”
"Well, how much money can I have! Even if an egg costs a dime, it's only a matter of a few dollars; In order to take care of your aunt's family, you gave us a lot of money. If your aunt is reluctant to take out this money, then you have to say that your aunt is slamming the door. Wu Cuihua smiled indifferently and joked, walked over, and helped her neatly.
Chu Tianyi nodded knowingly, "Auntie, don't say that, brother often says, if there is no you!" He doesn't even have a place to stay, and he's grateful to you. ”
"Ce's daughter-in-law, you and Ce'er are too polite; Sancheng is your uncle, and you can come back and live whenever you want. By the way, Ce daughter-in-law, I'll explain something to you. Wu Cuihua put down her hand to wash eggs, pulled her arm, and deliberately lowered her voice, "If you find out that you are pregnant in the army, you must send a letter to your family; Aunt is here to take care of you, you are both a young couple, and you don't know much about this aspect of things, after all, your aunt is from here. ”
Chu Tianyi's face was slightly red, and he shook his head again and again, "Auntie, I don't know when the child's business will be there yet, let's talk about it then!" ”
"Don't worry! Soon it will be, you've both been married for three months, maybe you're both pregnant now. When Wu Cuihua said this, she immediately smiled.
Chu Tianyi smiled, shook his head indifferently, and didn't answer this.
When I went back to the room that night, Chu Tianyi talked to Lei Ce about this problem, Lei Ce just smiled and patted her face, "Don't put pressure on yourself, you can have children whenever you want." ”
Chu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, it's late, let's sleep!" ”
"You go to sleep first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." Retzer pushed her to bed and watched her cover her before turning away.
Chu Tianyi raised her eyebrows, why did she feel that there was a murderous aura on him? What exactly did he go out for?
Chu Tianyi tossed and turned uneasily, and after three shifts at night, he didn't see him come back; She couldn't stay up and fell asleep, and she didn't know when he would come back this night.
The next day, the sky will be light.
After Chu Tianyi got up, he looked at the back he was wearing, frowned deeply, full of doubts, but did not ask; Quickly packed up, brought all the things that should be brought, and the three members of the Song family sent the two of them to the bus station in the town.
Today's bus station can be said to be synonymous with dirty, chaotic, and noisy, not as clean, gorgeous, and quiet as later generations.
Wu Cuihua took the duffel bag from her son and handed it to Lei Ce, "Ce'er, you have to take care of your daughter-in-law more on the way, don't let her lift heavy things; Don't let her bump into it, you know? ”
"Well, I know, aunt." Lei Ce nodded with a stiff face, for fear that his uncle would suddenly regret it and ask his daughter-in-law to stay in his hometown.
Chu Tianyi took Wu Cuihua's hand and Yin Yin advised, "Auntie, the car will leave for a while, you should go back first!" It's October now, don't stand in the cold wind with us; You remember to drink medicinal wine, and it will be fine for another two months. When the time comes, you will stop the medicine and wine, and just keep warm. ”
"We know that you two should also be more careful outside." Wu Cuihua reluctantly pulled one with one hand, "Let's go!" It's going to be a lot more deserted. ”
"Hehe, I thought my aunt would dislike us for arguing!" Chu Tianyi looked sideways at her husband, who was slightly red, and teased Wu Cuihua, who was also joking at her husband.
"Nonsense." Wu Cuihua slapped her on the arm lightly, and complained, "As far as you are concerned, you have been at home for more than three months, and I still feel that I have an extra son and daughter-in-law!" You are a diligent girl, and since the day you married Ce'er, you have always thought about us two old people; Rushing to do everything is no different from having an extra daughter-in-law. ”
Chu Tianyi smiled knowingly, "My brother and I are your son and daughter-in-law, come back in the future!" We have to live in your house, and when the time comes, you can't kick us out. ”
"No, no, you're going to laugh a lot more in our house! Where is it like Jiahui, this stinky boy, who plays with his friends in the village all day long, and he doesn't know how to come back to see us two old things. ”
"Hehe......" Chu Tianyi chuckled lightly, and turned his gaze to Song Jiahui, who was talking to her husband, "Jiahui, don't worry about the medicinal materials, if Brother Zhou comes to ask for continued supply; You write to me to say that the wind is tight now, don't be confused. Business can be done at any time, but don't do it with your life. ”
"I see, cousin-in-law, why are you more verbose than my mother?" Song Jiahui responded with a smile, "You can rest assured!" I'm not going to do the bastard stuff that my dad and mother are worried about. ”
Chu Tianyi blinked, and hinted with relief, "It's good that you understand, wait for two years, and our opportunity will come." ”
Song Jiahui's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Mmmm, listen to my cousin-in-law." ”
Wu Cuihua watched from the sidelines, "Stinky boy, just obey your cousin-in-law, what your cousin-in-law said is more effective than the old lady." ”
As soon as these words came out, the family laughed.
Song Jiahui scratched his head and smirked, "My cousin-in-law is very powerful, more capable than my cousin." ”
After more than three months of getting along, Chu Tianyi has invisibly become the most vocal person in the Song family; Song Jiahui was convinced of her words, and even obeyed her to send her, even Lei Ce couldn't do this.
