Zuo Ranjia nodded in response, her favorite is floor heating, which is really warm from the soles of her feet to her hands, not to mention how comfortable it is to wear single clothes in winter. Of course, she would be satisfied that she would now be able to use the heating on the blackened roof.

Only then did Du Qiaoyun see a pile of things on the table alone, "It's not easy for Zezi to raise your family alone, why buy so many things?" Give us a separate copy? ”

"Aunt, you can just keep it for you, we can't send it if we can't eat it ourselves, right? The things we send are within our means, we eat, drink, and dress well in the city, and you and your brothers and sisters suffer in the country, and we will feel bad. Zuo Ranjia walked to the table and said with a chuckle.

Du Qiaoyun sighed lightly, turned around and put the things into the cabinet at the head of the bed.

Zuo Ranjia looked at this room, the three children were only seven years old, and they were not separated by wooden boards, but built a big kang against the wall, covered with a thin mattress with patches, a small low table on the kang and a large wooden cabinet on the kang head, which were all the furniture in the house.

The room was particularly empty, cold with a slight mud floor, making people feel a little chilly running up the backbone.

"Well, there is nothing at home, a cabinet is enough for some clothes and bedding," Du Qiaoyun explained with a slightly uncomfortable face.

Zuo Ranjia sighed secretly in her heart, just now in the big house, there was a set of red-painted furniture, a vertical cabinet, a dresser, a box of four, a set of tables and chairs, a wardrobe rack and a large wooden bed in the cubicle. Although there is not much furniture, it can make the room feel warm and organized.

You don't need to look at the other two-bedroom rooms, just look at the number of patches on the adults and children and the color of the laundry, and you can understand that the three-room without the help of the mother's family is tight.

Zuo Ran could imagine what it was like for Du Xuze, who was lying here to sober up, alas, her heart was sour. However, in the future, after the Liu family made money by making mille-feuille shoes, they bought a brick house, and the third room should be able to see the Du family's face get a new one, after all, the other rooms either live in the main house or live in the east house.

When the warm house was warmed, she and Du Xuze sent another set of decent furniture, which could be regarded as a dowry for Du Qiaoyun from her mother's family.

The two chatted a few words in the house, it was nothing more than Du Qiaoyun telling Zuo Ranjia to remember to find some vegetable seeds to raise seedlings in the spring, there is such a large piece of land in the yard It would be a pity if you don't grow vegetables, and the supply of grain can be obtained, it is not as good as growing it yourself. She also said that if the young couple can't do it, they will first raise seedlings at home and take time to go to the city to help plant them.

Zuo Ranjia naturally hurriedly refused, saying that the aunts and aunts in the neighborhood would help.

They chatted about the children again, Du Qiaoyun looked at Liu Zhengjun, who had come back from madness, and was a little worried: "The gentleman is seven years old, I want him to learn a few words, but the classrooms, desks and chairs in the village have been smashed, and the educated youths who are teachers have also followed us to work in the fields."

I have long forgotten those words that I recognize, but can't I watch my children eat in the fields all their lives?

Do you think you can help your younger siblings secretly borrow two books? I asked his father to do some work for the educated youth, and when the evening came, the baby went to follow the two words, so he was not blind. ”

What she didn't say was that people smashed classrooms to encourage students to improve their ideological awareness, but on the other hand, recruiting workers to enter the school depends on their academic qualifications. The higher the education, the better the jobs for young people. She really can't understand such an approach, why should she deny it and value it at the same time?

Zuo Ranjia also followed her gaze to look at the children outside the window, the ten-year movement has been delayed by a generation, and she feels a pity in her heart, but what can she do as a woman?

Their family can be regarded as having no elders, the three rooms are unreliable, only they stand up by themselves, and after going back tomorrow, Du Jinxi will also bring the children to join in. The only blood relatives they can leave are the Liu family.

Zuo Ranjia was a little hesitant, should she stretch out her hand and push them hard, taking advantage of the less than two years before the college entrance examination to train a few more college students in one go? But she was afraid that her movements would be too big and arouse suspicion, and in the end she would become a thankless person again.

"Okay," Zuo Ranjia couldn't figure out his thoughts for the time being, so he responded crisply.

When they were about to eat, Du Xuze and his group of strong men came in from outside the door, carrying two hares and three wild ducks in their hands.

The children covered their mouths and stole fun, for fear that if they were known, the hares and ducks would go into other people's stomachs.

Because of the arrival of the Du family, the dinner of the Liu family is also relatively rich, each table has a plate of fried pork belly with dried beans, a plate of beef and green onions, a plate of stewed rabbit with potatoes, a plate of dried bamboo shoots and scrambled eggs, a plate of fried eggplant strips with chili peppers, and a pot of mutton and radish soup, and a basket of freshly baked crispy oil cakes on the outside and tender on the inside.

The men probably said a few words by their daughters-in-law, and they didn't dare to drink more at night, and each person had a small cup.

After eating, Liu's mother began to arrange the house, and when several bedrooms were built, they were built with a large kang, and it was still very spacious to sleep five or six people in one bunk. simply drove the grandchildren into a room and made room for the five members of the Du family.

The kang was burned hot, and the three babies ran around frantically after washing, Du Xuze grabbed the two younger brothers, and slapped each of them on the buttocks, "Go to sleep, won't you go to the market tomorrow?" ”

The babies were afraid that when he gritted his teeth and didn't smile on his gloomy face, he immediately shut down, covered the quilt, and looked at the roof with his eyes open.

Zuo Ranjia returned to the house after washing up tremblingly, and couldn't wait to climb up to the kang, she still felt that the bungalow was not as warm and comfortable as the building, but in recent years, it was difficult for them to say that they would live in the upstairs, but she didn't want to be the straw that bent Du Xuze again.

He has been stimulated a lot in the past few days, so she should bear with it.

Du Xuze was lying on his side, his broad body easily blocked the baby's sight, he hugged Zuo Ranjia into his arms, warmed her hands and feet, and asked in a low voice: "Are you bored today?" ”

"No, Grandma Liu, they are all very good, and they are very interesting to talk about." Zuo Ranjia replied quietly, thought about it again, and then said: "Today, I saw that my aunts had good craftsmanship and made comfortable and soft shoes with mille-feuille soles, so I helped them do a job. ”

"Huh?" Du Xuze squinted his eyes slightly, and his hands were a little untruthfully patrolling his territory.

Zuo Ranjia unceremoniously twisted the tender meat on his waist and scolded: "I'm angry if you do this again." ”

"Okay, I won't mess with you, I listen to you, what kind of work did you take?" Du Xuze was a little aggrieved.

Zuo Ranjia couldn't laugh or cry, this man knew her weakness a little, she snorted coldly in a low voice, "I know a sister in the friendship store, and it just so happened that she asked me to help ask if there are any relatives who can make mille-feuille shoes and want to sell our Huaxia shoes abroad." ”

Du Xuze looked at his wife in the dark with some surprise, the bright moonlight outside the window only reflected her petite silhouette, and her dark eyes flashed brightly. "Yes, the current situation is tense, but it does not affect the people above to hold money and bills in their arms, if you can catch a line and negotiate the price, the profit is not small."

"I think so too, the Liu family makes mille-feuille shoes and sells them to the friendship store, just to earn a hard fee, which is similar to taking odd jobs, so that others don't have much gossip." Zuo Ranjia rested comfortably on the crook of his arm, lying flat looking at the high roof, black like the mouth of a giant beast, capable of devouring everything.

She was a little frightened, rubbed into his arms, felt his skin warm up a few degrees more, and hurriedly shrank her hands and feet and didn't dare to move.

"Well, you don't have any relatives worth walking around over there, the relatives of our grandfather's generation are estranged, and my third uncle and sister-in-law have less to deal with if we can. But on the Liu family's side, they are really good. My aunt has been married into the Liu family for more than eight years, and the two festivals have never been broken in a year, and she didn't say that because the Du family didn't return the gift, she just sent a green onion and tied a garlic to deal with it.

In this regard alone, the Liu family is worthy of deep friendship. I thought about taking Tongzi and Huazi to run a sports car during the New Year, and it was better to learn some skills than to earn a few centimeters in the village. ”

Du Xuze kissed her forehead, sniffed the warm fragrance on her neck, and her impetuous heart gradually calmed down, "Pulling them can be regarded as making face for my aunt." ”

Zuo Ranjia nodded, Liu Zhengtong and Liu Zhenghua are two or three years older than her, and they should really learn something when they are about to get married, and they can't all count on their families. "It's nice to go out and see the world, but you don't want to take people into the ditch."

Du Xuze pinched her soft cheeks, and said angrily: "Dare to love you, do you think that the master is the master who is not doing his job properly?" ”

Hehe, can you be serious with one mouthful? She complained silently, but she said with a flattering smile: "How can it, I mean the outside world is too tempting, and they can easily get infected with bad habits if they don't know much." You have to help them take care of it, people are bad at learning, it is better to farm at home. ”

"Yes, yes, my little butler, you reminded me that not only can they follow me to see the world in a sports car, but they can also go to the army to exercise. They're in good shape, and maybe they'll be able to make a difference. Even if he was discharged from the army in the end, his perseverance and good habits were solidified, and he couldn't deviate even if he did other things. ”

Zuo Ranjia nodded again and again, the soldier is good, and it is good to say that he will be treated decently. And most women have a dream of being a military wife in their hearts, right?

Du Xuze knew what she was thinking, this girl couldn't hide anything at all, seeing a different light in the eyes of the person in the military uniform, he sometimes thought hatefully, why did he apply for discharge from the army so early, if the military uniform was added to the big cap today, and the fingers were hooked, this girl would definitely be stunned and automatically fall into her arms.

However, if he is still in the barracks, where is the fate of the two of them at the moment?
