The woman was still holding a small child, but from the back, this woman was completely different from the woman who had given birth to a child in their village.

"What are you selling?" He Hongzhen pulled He Peipei's arm and said, "I can tell you, you don't have to say anything when the time comes, you just nod what I say, you know?" ”

"Got it." He Peipei replied in a low voice, seeing her niece looking like she was going to die, He Hongzhen was angry, but thinking that the man was still with two children, maybe he was looking for something like this, so he didn't scold anymore.

He Hongzhen pulled He Peipei to the place where the fabric was sold.

He Peipei stood next to Su Jingtian, Xiao Shuhan turned his head to look at her, Su Jingtian felt Xiao Shuhan's movements, turned his head to look at He Peipei, and found that it was a young girl, so he nodded.

"Do you still have corduroy fabric?" He Hongzhen couldn't wait to ask.

"I won't see it myself." The man said impatiently, and then said with a sweet smile to Su Jing, "Teacher Su, then I'll wrap this cloth for you?" As she spoke, she pointed to the tweed cloth on the counter.

"Wrap it up, it's five feet." Su Jingtian said again, "Don't call me Teacher Su, I'm no longer a teacher." ”

"I heard from our children, why didn't Teacher Su do it?" The salesperson asked curiously.

"It's not about watching the kids at home yet." Su Jingtian gestured to the child in his arms and said.

"I remember you don't have a babysitter at home?"

"Aunt Zhang quit last month, their daughter-in-law gave birth, and she has to go back to serve her daughter-in-law for confinement." Su Jingtian explained, "I originally wanted to find another one, but it was difficult to find, and I haven't found a suitable one until now." ”

"Your cloth." The salesman handed the tweed cloth to Su Jingtian and said.

"Comrade, there's no more on here, you can look for it again." He Hongzhen saw that the salesman had finished talking to Su Jingtian, so she dared to interject and say, with some caution and flattery in her tone.

The salesman changed his face and said: "I said that I will see it myself on the counter, if there is no it, there will be no more, that's all, love or not." ”

He Hongzhen, who was told for a while, didn't dare to reply, and accompanied Xiao to find a suitable fabric on the counter.

"It's expensive!" He Hongzhen saw the price marked on the tweed cloth and muttered in a low voice.

He Peipei also glanced at it, a piece of two and one feet, five feet, wouldn't that cost six yuan!

He Hongzhen whispered half envy and half jealousy; "Loser old lady."

When the salesman heard this, he glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Do you know who people are, this is a drizzle for people." ”

After He Peipei heard this, her eyes pursued Su Jingtian again, she felt that she was not worse than her, maybe it was really not bad, in all fairness, He Peipei was indeed a very outstanding girl, melon seed face, cherry mouth, although the skin is not very white, but it looks healthy, but some things are not only determined by appearance, can affect a person's life, there are more and more important things, such as family, such as knowledge, such as wisdom.

He Hongzhen picked and chose for a long time under the white eyes of the salesperson before buying the cheapest piece of fabric, and only bought three feet, enough to make a covercoat.

Finally, "Comrade, you see that these leftovers you have can't be sold, can you give me some, I'll put together a pair of socks or something." He Hongzhen asked flatteringly.

"What do you think?" The salesman sneered and said, "Your kind of idea, to put it mildly, is to take advantage of the country, you know no." ”

"Comrade, no, no, I just want these leftovers." The salesman's words frightened He Hongzhen and waved his hand again and again.

He Hongzhen pulled He Peipei and ran out quickly, and then He Hongzhen, who was still submissive just now, immediately changed her face and scolded He Peipei: "You are a dead man, who am I doing this for, and I don't know how to say a word to help me." ”

He Peipei didn't dare to refute, if she refuted, she would be scolded even worse, she knew this truth from a very young age.

Through the corner of her eye, she saw Su Jingtian holding the child into an iron gate.

"Auntie, where is that?" He Peipei asked, pointing to the iron gate.

He Hongzhen looked in the direction she was pointing, and then said angrily: "The county government's family home, what's wrong, what are you asking for?" ”

"It's nothing, I'll ask." He Peipei hurriedly explained.

"It's useless to ask, you won't be able to live in the next life, the next life." After He Hongzhen finished speaking, she turned around and left, He Peipei clenched her fists tightly, and looked deeply at the county government's family home, as if she wanted to imprint the iron gate in her mind forever.

Early the next morning, He Peipei was called up by her aunt He Hongzhen, washed her face, combed her hair, and then put on the smock that she had driven out overnight last night.

He Hongzhen looked at her niece who had cleaned up well, and nodded with satisfaction, although she didn't like this niece, she had to admit that He Peipei was really good-looking, even many girls in the city couldn't compare to her, this is also He Hongzhen's willingness to buy clothes for He Peipei, she has confidence in He Peipei's appearance, and this money will not be wasted.

Looking at He Peipei, He Hongzhen felt that there was still something dissatisfied, and then went to the neighbor's house to borrow a box of face oil with Smiley, carefully dug a piece, and applied it to He Peipei's face, looking at He Peipei, who was more delicate than just now, He Hongzhen nodded with satisfaction.

The blind date with He Peipei is an old man of nearly forty years old, named Luo Yugang, nicknamed Luo Hezi, as the name suggests, he has a large pockmark on his face, that is to say, he is twice as old as He Peipei, and his eldest son is only three or four years younger than He Peipei.

Seeing He Peipei sitting in He Hongzhen's house, Luo Haozi felt as comfortable as drinking a bottle of ice water in the dog days.

He Hongzhen looked at Luo Haozi's expression and knew that this was done.

Luo Haozi sat next to He Peipei and kept rubbing against He Peipei.

"I heard your uncle say that your family is from Shanghegou?" Luo Mazi took the initiative to say.

He Peipei nodded, and Luo Haozi continued: "I know that place, the conditions are not very good. ”

He Peipei nodded, still not speaking.

"But I heard that apple trees have been planted in your village, have they borne fruit?" Luo Haozi continued to ask.

"Not yet, it's going to take two years." He Peipei shook his head and said.

Asked about the unpleasant smell emanating from Luo Haozi's body, He Peipei made up her mind that she would never accept her fate, thinking of Su Jingtian she saw yesterday, so she took her as her only chance to see if God would favor her.

He Hongzhen came out of the house, leaving the two of them alone.
