CHAPTER XV

Although Grandma Zhou is the most partial to her little daughter, but the status of the Dafang family is different, after all, she is the one who wants to support her in the future, especially the daughter-in-law, so if she can't move in bed in the future, doesn't she have to be served by her daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhou also knows this, so she is not afraid of Grandma Zhou at all, and even has a way to make Grandma Zhou listen to her.

Zhou Xiaoran is not worried about this.

This seems to be the end of the matter.

Zhou Xiaoran returned to his previous state, and the slap marks on his face disappeared in two days, and Zhou Xiaoran was also very grateful for the righteous words of the educated youth, and while going up the mountain to cut pigweed, he found some wild vegetables and quietly sent them to the educated youth, they definitely had no vegetables to eat.

Yu Xiangyang kept grinning happily, "Comrade Zhou Xiaoran, thank you so much, you don't know, we haven't eaten vegetables since we came here, we drink cornmeal porridge every day, eat sweet potatoes, and have no vitamins at all." ”

"Yes, Comrade Xiao Zhou, but you have to be careful not to be seen." Glasses Zheng Weiguo also said.

Even Zhou Yi and Xu Hui, who never spoke much, rarely showed a smile, but they didn't see Zheng Hongbing, maybe they saw Zhou Xiaoran coming and hiding out.

"Then you cook, I'll go first, I'll see if I can find some in two days, it's getting colder and colder, and there's nothing in the mountains."

Everyone said goodbye to Zhou Xiaoran.

In fact, these educated youths are all good, there is no major problem, compared to Zhou Xiaojun, the educated youths here are much more qualified.

And so it is.

Zhou Xiaojun's side.

Since her sister came to see her, the loneliness and confusion in her heart have dissipated a lot, plus there are eggs brought by her sister, quietly brewing a bowl every day, although I am not used to the taste, but there is no other way, so I added some nutrition, as for the food, she quietly hid under the bed, and did not take it out, the educated youth are all living together and eating, she can't fire it alone, if the food is taken out, how to eat?

Unexpectedly, the grain she quietly hid was turned over.

"Zhou Xiaojun, you actually hid food privately, where did you say it came from?" It was Qi Juan who turned out the grain, but it was Shu Mei who was the first to make a noise.

There were two other female intellectuals watching, and they also wanted to know where the food came from.

"This food was sent by my sister, she is an educated youth of the third production brigade, and you two saw it when she came that day, what? Don't remember? The latter words were said to Shu Mei and Qi Juan.

"We saw your sister's people, but we didn't see the food she brought, since you said your sister brought it, why do you hide it?" Shu Mei glanced at Qi Juan and continued to ask.

"Besides, your sister is also an educated youth in the countryside, where did she get these fine grains? They are so generous in their production brigade and give such fine food to educated youth? ”

Zhou Xiaojun took a deep breath, she really didn't understand why this Shu Mei targeted her so much.

"I don't need to report to you where my sister got the food, Comrade Shumei, what is your position in interrogating me?"

"You.... Hmph, don't you get it by some shady means, otherwise why hide it. Shu Mei scratched her heart and liver when she saw Zhou Xiaojun's face, and she really wanted to go up and scratch it twice to see what else she could do to seduce men.

"Xiaojun, you don't need to be like this, we won't take advantage of you, it's too petty." A female intellectual, named Chen Xiuhua, opened her mouth coolly.

"That's it, my mother sent me a bunch of food stamps the day before yesterday, who still lacks your mouthful." Another named Wang Dan also chimed in.

Among the five female intellectuals, Wang Dan and Chen Aihua have been wearing a pair of pants since they arrived in the brigade, Shu Mei is more advanced with Qi Juan, and there is only one Zhou Xiaojun, who is okay with Wang Dan and Chen Aihua, but Shu Mei is always a little targeted at her for some reason.

"I didn't mean that.... I was thinking that everyone eats cornmeal and sweet potatoes, and it's not good for me to be special alone. In the face of Wang Dan and Chen Aihua's sarcasm, Zhou Xiaojun is not as confident as she is in the face of Shu Mei's aggressiveness, to put it bluntly, she herself thinks that this behavior is not very fair, although everyone is like this, there are good things that are hidden and eaten by themselves, but once they say it, it doesn't sound good.

At this time, the three male intellectuals also heard the movement here and came over.

Wu Lei bore the brunt of it.

"What's wrong? This is Xiaojun's own thing, she has the right to deal with anything, you lesbians just love to make a fuss. ”

Shu Mei heard Wu Lei helping Zhou Xiaojun speak, and the anger in her eyes became heavier.

"We all heard it, it's not a big deal, or else, Comrade Zhou Xiaojun's grain will be taken to the kitchen to make a piece, how much money is equivalent to food stamps, and the rest of us will share it per capita, if everyone gets anything to eat in the future, they will also deal with it like this, do you think it's okay?" The one who spoke was a tall young man named Zhao Gang.

Several male intellectuals agreed to the proposal.

Wang Dan and Chen Aihua also agreed that although they had money and food stamps, there was no way to exchange them for such fine food.

Qi Juan saw that everyone agreed, and also said that she had no opinion.

Only Shu Mei, who was unconvinced on her face, could see it, and she reluctantly nodded under Qi Juan's frequent eyes.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, don't eat if you don't agree, but how can the educated youth maintain superficial unity.

"Xiaojun, give, this is my share." Wu Lei looked at Zhou Xiaojun eagerly, he really liked Zhou Xiaojun, especially in this situation, Zhou Xiaojun's appearance and bearing were among the best among the educated youth, not to mention compared with the girls in the village, he must redeem Zhou Xiaojun.

Zhou Xiaojun took the money and turned around and left, not wanting to have too much conversation with Wu Lei.

"Xiaojun, wait." Wu Lei grabbed Zhou Xiaojun's arm.

"Xiaojun, I really love you, it was my fault before, you just give me a chance, okay?"

"You let go!"

"I won't let it go, unless you promise me to be nice to me again."

"Believe it or not, I'm going to sue you for being a hooligan!"

"Zhou Xiaojun, I begged you so much, are you really so hard-hearted?"

Zhou Xiaojun was almost mad, how could there be such a cheeky person.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Lei saw someone coming, brushed the floor and let go of his hand.

It's Shumei. His eyes floated on Zhou Xiaojun's body like a knife.

Zhou Xiaojun couldn't care so much, and when he saw Wu Lei let go, he hurriedly left.

Shu Mei looked at Zhou Xiaojun's back, finally suppressed the jealousy in her heart, smiled at Wu Lei, and said understandingly: "You don't pay attention to it, it's fortunately me, if others see it, you don't gossip." ”

Wu Lei is a master of flowers, and he has long seen that this Shu Mei is interesting to him, although he is not as good as Zhou Xiaojun, but he enjoys this feeling of being liked and sought after, and immediately smiled: "I don't want to either, but this Zhou Xiaojun is too pestering, and I can't help it." After speaking, he smiled helplessly.

Not to mention, Wu Lei not only has a very deceptive face, but even his acting skills are perfect, and Shu Mei, who picks in a few words, becomes more and more dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaojun.

Not to mention how Zhou Xiaojun is here.

After Zhou Xiaojun's incident of Grandma Zhou's food grabbing, the relationship with the educated youths has become closer, and even Zheng Hongbing has returned to his previous cheerful and generous appearance after a period of adjustment, and Zhou Xiaoran naturally maintained a politeness towards her.

Just when the days calmed down again, Zhou Xiaoran received another letter from the provincial capital.

There are three letters in total, one from Tan Shiguo, one from Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, and one from Liu Lan.

Zhou Xiaoran first opened Liu Lan's letter, and asked her if she was used to life in the countryside, and what did the educated youth do every day? I also said some of my recent situation, the letter is not long, but Zhou Xiaoran feels very ironed, although she and Liu Lan have a good relationship, but after all, they have not known each other for a long time, and she can write a letter to greet herself It is already very heartfelt, even if she wrote a reply, she also talked about the days since she went to the countryside.

Then he opened the letter from Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, which was nothing more than asking her to take good care of herself, and Zhou's father also said that he had written to Uncle Yougen and Grandma Zhou, and they would take care of him and let her stay at ease.

Uncle Yougen really takes good care of herself, Grandma Zhou doesn't expect it, but Zhou Xiaoran won't sue or anything, after all, she is not Zhou Zhipeng's biological child, and Grandma Zhou has no responsibility and obligation to be good to herself, but what she didn't expect at this time was that if she didn't sue, others would sue. There were also five yuan and five catties of food stamps with the letter, and Zhou Xiaoran collected the money and food stamps, and looked at Tan Shiguo's letter.

is different from the mood of reading the first two letters, and the throbbing in my heart can't be suppressed.

Dear Comrade Xiao Zhou, First of all, I want to solemnly answer your question, I also miss you! I think about it when I eat, I think about it when I go to class, I think about it when I train, I think about it when I sleep... Most wanted. Secondly, I want to tell you that I have ten days off during the Chinese New Year, can I visit your parents at that time? Don't worry, you're still young, and I will respect your wishes when it comes to getting married, I just want to get your family's consent first.......... Your old Comrade Tan

Well, this time it's a lot better, and it's written two full pages, and it seems that men need * too, and that's right.

But see the parents..... She had never thought about it, and marriage seemed to be far away........

Zhou Xiaoran didn't rush to write a reply this time, because she didn't know how to answer the questions of meeting her parents.

Don't think about it yet.

After reading the letter, Zhou Xiaoran entered the space and transplanted some onions, garlic and chili peppers into a small open space reclaimed in the yard.

Fortunately, I found the koji that I left in the space in the previous life.

She is going to make part liquor and part fruit wine.

I also saw a recipe for health wine from a health book, and added a few flavors of Chinese medicine to the liquor.

She is confident that the wine made from the products in the space must be better than the outside, and she has not drunk wine for more than ten years, so she is a little greedy when she thinks about it.
