My brother-in-law and aunt used to be educated youths of the Corps.

Lu Xiufeng graduated from high school in 70 years and went to the countryside of Qingshan, and three years later because of his excellent driving skills, he was selected by the leaders of the Corps and transferred to the Corps. He looks a little like Tang Guoqiang, with white skin and a tall skin, can sing and play the erhu, and is very favored by female intellectuals on the farm, and often female intellectuals take the initiative to wash his clothes.

But he only likes Zhou Peiyi, a young man in Shanghai, and takes the initiative to pursue it, and the two have been married for three years before they get married.

Their marriage, both families are not satisfied, the Zhou family looks down on the Northeast people for being rude, and the Lu family does not look down on the stinginess of the Shanghainese. Grandma especially didn't like Zhou Peiyi to speak softly, and thought she was too clean, so she didn't come to the door once she went, and even more so that she snatched her youngest son, since she appeared, her youngest son was not of the same mind as her. scolded his son in person, Xiao Jiaqi (qiao), went to the house beam, married a daughter-in-law, and forgot his mother.

But the more the freedom of love and marriage in the new society is hindered, the closer they will be and the tighter they will snuggle.

After marriage, they separated and lived in the house assigned by the Corps, although the house was dilapidated and small, but they were willing, Lu Xiufeng drove a private job and worked hard to make money, Zhou Peiyi cleaned up the small house warm and clean, and no one praised them as a pair made in heaven.

When the college entrance examination was resumed, Zhou Peiyi was pregnant, so she had not taken the college entrance examination, but Lu Xiufeng took the exam, but the score was frighteningly low. When Lu Yani was born, the little couple was in a hurry, but grandma just refused to help take care of it.

Zhou Peiyi stubbornly took it herself, and fifty-six days after giving birth, she returned to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the child was sent to a neighbor's old lady's house to watch, giving ten yuan a month, and she went back and forth several times a day to deliver milk.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the two of them go back with the child and say a few nice words, grandma will accept them happily, but Zhou Peiyi refuses.

Zhou Peiyi has five brothers and sisters, her parents' family conditions are ordinary, the two elder brothers are married, the eldest brother lives with his parents and has three children, the second brother lives in his father-in-law's house after marriage, the second sister is married, and the youngest sister has just graduated and has no job, and she also lives in a 30-square-meter home.

In 79, she took her children back to Shanghai once, stayed for three days and returned to the Northeast, and made up her mind not to return to the city.

The year before last, Lu Xiufeng cooperated with others and contracted a piece of forest land, felling and transporting trees, and earned 10,000 yuan in one winter. The year before last, the XPCC contracted the land, and their family took out a loan to contract 50 acres of land, and last autumn they built a new house, which is large and bright.

The family took photos in front of the house and sent them back to Shanghai, but her parents wrote back to her without saying anything and still persuaded her to go back to Shanghai. Zhou Peiyi smiled bitterly, even if she divorced and returned to the city alone, there would be no place for her to support a marching bed at home.

The tractor stopped in front of the two blue gates, Shen Mengxi and Qi security guards got out of the car, and a beautiful and gentle woman came out of it, and said with a smile: "You are back, why didn't the second sister come?" ”

"The second sister doesn't come, so she has to accompany the second brother-in-law." Lu Xiufeng picked Shen Mengxi out of the car first, picked up two luggage rolls, slapped them, and turned around and shouted to his nephews, "Enter the house, enter the house!" ”

"Auntie." Qi Baoan and Shen Mengxi obediently called people.

"Hey! Welcome! Zhou Peiyi responded with a smile.

"The milk powder and dried fish that the second sister brought, you go and take a look, don't break the can!"

"The second sister is too polite, my nephew went to my uncle's house, what else did I take!"

As soon as you enter the second door, it is the kitchen, which is different from the smoky kitchens of other houses, Zhou Peiyi's kitchen is clean and bright, with doors and windows before and after, a big cupboard, a round table, a few chairs, and white tiles on the stove, which are wiped clean and clean, and even the iron stove door is polished.

Qi Baoan suddenly became uncomfortable and twisted his body uneasily.

Zhou Peiyi opened the door on the right-hand side and let them in, "You two live in Yani's room." ”

The eye is greeted by a glittering red wooden floor, a TV cabinet, a high and low cabinet, and two leather sofas in the room.

"Take off your shoes!" A little girl screamed.

Shen Mengxi looked up, and in the suite in the living room, a very beautiful girl of seven or eight years old walked out, wearing a pink princess dress, with her waist crossed and her face flat.

Qi security almost blurted out: Don't take it off!

Fortunately, I woke up immediately, and now I am under the fence. He stepped on his right heel with his left foot, took off his sandals, and carried the bag with his clothes, and went inside.

Qi Bao's gray socks raised a puff of dust, emitting a burst of sweat smell, he had never noticed the smell of his feet before, and now on the smooth floor of his uncle's house, he didn't have the courage to step on it.

He withdrew his foot unnaturally, leaving a footprint on the floor, a sweaty footprint, surrounded by an inconspicuous circle of dust. For the first time in his life, Qi Baoan felt embarrassed, he lifted his right foot, didn't know whether to fall or not, and glanced at his little aunt with a red face.

The uncle pushed him, "Come in, just take off your shoes at the door." "At this time, people who pay attention to hygiene take off their shoes and wear socks into the house, and no one prepares slippers no matter how particular they are.

"It's okay, let's go in! The two of you will stay in Yani's room, and let Yani live with us. When I came to my uncle's house, there was no reason to live in the storage room. Zhou Peiyi said with a smile.

"Ahem, uncle, or I'll live in your storeroom." Qi Baoan said to Lu Xiufeng.

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiufeng continued to push his nephew and let him into the house, "Wait a while, my uncle will wipe it." ”

"Uncle, my fourth brother and I should wash up first, there is dust on our heads all the way." Shen Mengxi didn't take off his shoes, and stood in the kitchen and said to Lu Xiufeng.

"Yes, yes." Lu Xiufeng looked at his wife's face and agreed repeatedly.

Zhou Peiyi brought out a basin of warm water, "This is your uncle's basin, don't dislike it!" ”

"Don't dislike it!" Qi security guard sat down on the small bench in the yard, took off his socks, put one foot into the basin, and rubbed his feet against each other, "The feet I washed last night are not dirty, but the road is gray, hehe." ”

Shen Mengxi looked at the socks that were thrown on the ground and turned over, and then looked at him fluttering and washing his feet.

"Let's wash the orb together, the basin is big enough." Lu Xiufeng said.

Shen Mengxi shook his head.

Zhou Peiyi said with a smile: "Little girls love to be clean, wait for my aunt to fetch you a basin of water." ”

Qi Baoan was ashamed, "It's not uncommon for me to wash my feet with her!" With that, he twisted his head to the side.

The yard of my uncle's house is neat and wide, paved with red brick floor, unlike other people's houses, they do not raise chickens, ducks and geese, nor pigs and dogs, there is only a vegetable cellar in the front yard, a well, a lady's car parked under the window, and a clothesline is pulled by the wall.

From Fangshantou to the backyard, there is a coal shed, a firewood stack, a vegetable garden, all kinds of vegetables are well kept, there is a wooden toilet in the corner, and the path leading to the toilet is also paved with red bricks. Everywhere it is reflected that this family has a hostess who goes back to life.
