Zhang Guoqing rummaged through the bills from his pocket, changed his shoes, and said with a happy smile: "I'll go out for a walk first, and my son will be handed over to you to pick up." ”

Zhou Jiao followed him out of the bedroom, "Be careful." We'll discuss it when we come back. ”

"Shh......h I have a number. ”

Out of the compound, Zhang Guoqing was delayed for a moment, and rushed to the uphill brigade of Linxian County on the "28" bicycle. And Lin Xuelin's concubine Hu Chunsheng's grandmother Gu Xiuya was married to Hu Daqian, the son of the Hu family in the first squadron of this brigade.

Zhang Guoqing did not go directly to the other party's Murakami, and transferred to the home of alumnus Jiang Lizhi, who was not far away. The other party is also a member of the student union, and the two usually have a good personal relationship.

"Dazhi, is he there?"

Jiang Lizhi had just arrived home and was chatting with his grandfather for a few words, when he heard the familiar voice and was a little incredulous, he hurriedly responded loudly, and said to his grandfather on the kang: "A classmate of mine, I came here once last year. Master, I'll go out for a while. ”

"Let's go and invite the guests in."

Jiang Lizhi nodded happily and walked out, "Okay, master, you sit down first." I'll come when I go. Out of the bedroom, I saw Zhang Guoqing pushing a cart and standing outside the yard through the bamboo fence.

He ran over and quipped, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so you can't bear to buddy?" “

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, "Not really." ”

Jiang Lizhi opened the courtyard door, "Come in first." You have nothing to do but ascend to the Three Treasures Hall. Tell me, what's the matter? ”

Zhang Guoqing pushed the cart and followed him into the courtyard, "You can help me see who has eggs, sugar tickets and cloth tickets." Everyone in the family is working? ”

"Except for my grandfather waiting for me at home, all of them are in the team. Delay my mother to go to the neighbor's house to see who has the eggs. Not enough eggs in the city this month? ”

"There are enough of them. I'll go and see the old man first. ”

Jiang Lizhi pointed to the vegetable patch in the corner of the yard, "Go back and bring some fresh vegetables to the child, and I'll help you go to the team to see if there are any good things." I think it's better in the countryside, and you don't have to queue up every day. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, followed him into the house, and saw an old man looking at him happily on the kang, he smiled and stepped forward to say hello, "Grandpa Jiang, how are you old?" I see that all the vegetable gardens in the village are full, and this year is not much better than last year. ”

"Come and sit here. It's really much better, last year the land was divided, and now each family has a lot more harvest. You babies can still eat enough at school, right? ”

"This year is much better than the previous two years."

Old man Jiang chatted a few words, and left the team in advance under the pretext of leaving him, and asked him to leave some dinner.

Zhang Guoqing didn't postpone it, and sent him out of the room with a smile. Dinner was still early, and if he really stayed, his daughter-in-law should be worried. Seeing the old man leave, he didn't go back to the house, and smiled at Jiang Lizhi: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

"Okay, just take you to the river to see if there's any catch."

Zhang Guoqing's purpose was not to be by the river, he wanted to inquire about the situation of the Hu family. If memory serves, the Hu family is not far from the mill not far from the uphill brigade.

"Didn't you say last time that your team is famous for tofu? I'll have to see how the tools are different at the mill. Is it convenient to go over there? ”

Jiang Lizhi shook his head with a smile, and took the lead in leading him out, "There are a lot of thoughts like you." Before, the whole county liked to eat his family's tofu brain bean juice, and they all felt that they had secrets. As soon as he joined the club, as soon as the mill was set up in the team, many people rushed over to see how his father and son operated, but unfortunately no one could see anything abnormal. ”

"The master is in the folk. It's easy to see that it's worth it. Now your team is supplying the city again? ”

Jiang Lizhi nodded and said softly: "Since the beginning of this spring, there are not many, every day there is a car of the county supply and marketing cooperative, and the extra and tofu residue are distributed to the members of the team." ”

Zhang Guoqing patted him on the shoulder, the members of this team are really happy!

There are only two people in the tofu factory in the mill in the compound of the production team, soaking beans and cleaning tools. Not far away, there are several middle-aged women grinding cornmeal to the west.

Zhang Guoqing pretended to be curious and wandered around the yard, paying attention to the surrounding gossip.

An aunt wearing homespun sleeves with large patches lined up in the back, and she shouldn't have taken turns yet, and when she saw a stranger, she joked to Jiang Lizhi: "Big dog, what are you going to show the people in the city?" ”

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the polite Jiang Lizhi and immediately burst into laughter.

"Aunt Hua, I beg you not to call me by my nickname, okay? This is my classmate, come and see the rarity. Why don't you let your sister-in-law come over, this is a lot of grinding. ”

Aunt Hua shook her hand absently, "What's heavy, I'm used to it." They don't know what to do, and they're not as fast as I am. Did your mother take a fancy to the girl you said last time? ”

Jiang Lizhi faced a few people who were watching the excitement, his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly waved his hand with a red face, "I'm still young, it's not too late to talk about the object when I graduate." ”

Zhang Guoqing came to him with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed when the man gets married." ”

An aunt on the side heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said to him, "This kid is right. Settle down early, and getting married after graduation will not delay your mother to hold your grandson at all. Big dog, I'll tell you, your grandmother is worried that you won't find a partner and delay your younger brothers. Last time, I said that as long as the girl's parents are thorough and know a few words. She doesn't like you looking for a city girl, you know? The girls in the city are not as real as in the village. ”

Jiang Lizhi didn't want to be the topic of his own, so he nodded and changed the topic, "Do you want me to help?" ”

"No, you can't do heavy work as a reading baby."

Zhang Guoqing paced to the stone grinding plate on the side, and saw that the cornmeal was still ground with a core and a piece of skin, which showed that everyone was still worried about the lack of food.

"Da Shun's family, why hasn't the house next door to you moved today?"

Aunt Hua sneered, "That family is worried, have you seen the one who married later?" I heard that I couldn't keep my two children in the past two years, and this will lead to divorce. ”

"Retribution! How good is the one in front, he gave birth to a big fat boy for their family, and he grabbed it at home and abroad. Now it's okay, in order to climb the high branches, abandon your wife and children, and don't regret it after seeing their family. ”

Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed when he heard this.

"Regret what. The old woman said that it was a noble person in their family. asked Chunsheng to go to Yue's house to bring his daughter-in-law back, but I don't know how, and I haven't seen him come back today. ”

"Iniquity. Good days though. Chunsheng, the kid, also told people that he didn't plan to go to the Great Northwest. At first, he couldn't pull it and sneaked away, but now it's okay. ”

"Go when you want, come when you want, who he thinks he is. It's no fun to do this, I heard the child's uncle say that it's easy to move away and difficult to come back, and it doesn't matter what big officials do. ”

Zhang Guoqing heard this, and he was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he and Jiang Lizhi said goodbye to them, passing through the door of Hu Chunsheng's house, through the low fence courtyard, you can also see an old lady with a pair of small feet flying into the vegetable garden.

This should be Gu Ruyi's personal maid, but he didn't expect the maid to still have small feet, which shows that this person was not badly treated in the Gu family back then.
