Time passed in a blink of an eye, Zhou Zhipeng and his wife came back the night before the Chinese New Year's Eve, holding Zhou Xiaoji, Zhou Xiaoran asked, she and her sister are gone, who will take her brother, Chen Yun said that it was put in the nursery when she went to work, and the baby who was just over a year old was put in the nursery, and Zhou Xiaoran rubbed her brother's little nose in distress.

The eldest aunt is very good at talking, "Xiaoran, but sensible, after distributing the food, I have to send her milk, let's say, you keep it for yourself, your milk has our filial piety, she has to listen, now such a filial child is rare." ”

Zhou Zhipeng heard this and hurriedly asked her, "Is your ration enough?" Ask your mom to leave you some more money and food stamps when you leave. ”

Chen Yun understands that the youngest daughter is actually a very sensitive person, and when she was a child, she would be coquettish and please Grandma Zhou, but she has never been able to please Grandma Zhou, and now it is impossible to take the initiative to show favor.

She took advantage of the fact that no one was there and pulled Zhou Xiaoran aside to ask, and Zhou Xiaoran told her truthfully.

Chen Yun felt sour in her heart, so many years of concession have not been exchanged for a trace of softening of Grandma Zhou, here in her hometown, she Chen Yun has never been recognized.

touched her little daughter's head, "Don't blame your grandma, she's actually..." Chen Yun suddenly didn't know what to say, she couldn't be angry with Grandma Zhou, and her daughter was so innocent, but what could she do.

took out ten yuan and some food stamps and cloth stamps and stuffed them into her daughter's pocket, she knew that if she didn't hurry up and give her daughter some first, after a while, her pocket would be scraped clean by Grandma Zhou.

Sure enough.

"She is a small child's family, what to do with so much money in her hand, or I keep it for her, I am a grandmother, it is difficult to watch her starve to death."

Grandma Zhou has always shown in front of Zhou Zhipeng that although she is reluctant, she still accepts the attitude of Chen Yun's mother and daughter, so Zhou Zhipeng still trusts his mother very much, which is also the reason why Zhou Xiaoran is unwilling to clash with Grandma Zhou head-on in front of Zhou Zhipeng.

"Mother, you have to worry a lot, Xiaoran has never suffered much since she was a child, and you usually take care of it more."

Grandma Zhou scolded Zhou Xiaoran thousands of times in her heart, but she still nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, Zhou Zhipeng was relieved, and since then, there has been more money and things sent back to his hometown.

Zhou Xiaoran doesn't care about this, anyway, Zhou Zhipeng is not her father, she is not qualified to say anything, the money he earns himself, he can spend it on whoever he wants, as for Chen Yun, he is subsidizing Zhou Xiaoran in private, of course, Zhou Xiaojun is not left behind.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also brought a letter from Zhou Xiaoguang this time, which was specifically addressed to Zhou Xiaoran.

The letter said that the life of the army is very boring, every day in addition to training is training, but he adapts very well, now he is still a recruit, it is not easy to ask for leave, and when he finds an opportunity, he will definitely come back to see her, and asked her, is the life of the educated youth okay, is there anything that is not used to it.... Yunyun.

When Zhou Xiaojun came over in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that he could stay here for five days, Zhou Xiaoran was happy but also a little regretful, and his brother's family was reunited.

Tan Shiguo came over early on the third day of the Lunar New Year, carrying canned fruits, sugar, snacks, and a bottle of Moutai.

Zhou Zhipeng looked at the soldier with a serious face in front of him, and he was still a little dissatisfied, according to his introduction, he learned that he was a whole round older than his own Xiaoran, and it seemed that he would not be a caring person who knew cold and hot.

Zhou Xiaojun squeezed her eyebrows at Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaoran turned a blind eye, she was a little worried about her parents' attitude.

"What's going on with your family?" Chen Yun asked.

"My parents are still alive, there are two older brothers, a younger brother, my parents are old, the work of the family depends on the eldest brother and the second brother, the younger brother teaches in the primary school of the commune, half of my monthly salary will be sent to the family, but after marriage, it will not be, I plan to give the second old man 60 yuan a year in the future."

Then he added: "Although I have given a lot to my family over the years, I am currently a regiment-level cadre, and my salary and allowance are a lot, and I will hand them over to Xiaoran for safekeeping in the future." ”

There are many brothers in the family, and if it is shared, the burden of providing for the elderly will be lighter, and Tan Shiguo is the third and in the army, the old man should not live with him, thinking of this, Zhou Zhipeng's face is better.

Tan Shiguo has been observing, seeing this, he was a little hesitant to say that he was engaged at this time, and he made up his mind in a moment, if he didn't say it at this time, he would inevitably be suspected of insincerity if he said it later.

"I joined the army at the age of fifteen, participated in six battles, and made two special merits, three first-class merits, and four third-class merits, when I was eighteen years old, my family set a fiancée for me, and then I went to aid Korea, and almost died on the battlefield, and my fiancée at home heard other people's rumors, thinking that I was dead, so I remarried."

After Tan Shiguo finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, and found that there was no displeasure, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Since then, I have not thought about personal problems because I have devoted myself to work, I met Xiaoran on the train, and then met a few times by chance, I think this is a very simple and beautiful girl, and I have been with each other for a lifetime." ”

Zhou Xiaoran almost laughed out loud, but he was really good at.

Chen Yun is very satisfied with Tan Shiguo, it's nothing if he's older, he's more mature than a hairy boy, and he can hurt people more, the most important thing is that the family composition is good, and he is a soldier, which is good for Xiaoran, if anything happens in the future, there is hope to be able to protect her.

It's just that.....

"Our family is only sixteen, and we are still a little too young, is it too early to talk about getting married?" Chen Yun mainly considered that it was not good to have a child too early, and it would be better if she could get married two years later, but she was afraid that the man was too old and would be unwilling to wait.

Tan Shiguo was overjoyed when he heard this, this is what he meant.

"Aunt, don't worry, we can get engaged first and wait until Xiaoran is eighteen years old before getting married. ”

Zhou Zhipeng and Chen Yun glanced at each other, so it couldn't be better.

Zhou Zhipeng suddenly glanced at Tan Shiguo again and said, "I see why you are a little familiar, have you seen it somewhere?" ”

Zhou Zhou Xiaoran hurriedly made his eyes, Tan Shiguo agreed, and said easily: "Many people have said this, probably because my appearance is more popular." ”

Zhou Zhipeng couldn't remember it, so he believed it.

Zhou Zhipeng wanted to take Tan Shiguo to Grandma Zhou's, saying that he was eating there.

Zhou Xiaoran was unwilling, but she had no reason to say no. She was mainly afraid that Grandma Zhou would hate the house and Wu, and she would give Tan Shiguo a look.

However, she guessed wrong, Grandma Zhou was quite normal to Tan Shiguo, perhaps because of Zhou Zhipeng's presence.

The uncle's family was also very enthusiastic, but Zhou Xiaohong was a little strange, looking at Tan Shiguo and Zhou Xiaoran in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.

Tan Shiguo's visit was a success.

His vacation was short, and he was going back to the provincial capital the next day, so he rested at the old house that night and shared a room with Zhou Zhipeng.

Zhou Xiaoran's mother and daughter whispered together, and Zhou Xiaoji was playing on the side.

Chen Yun told Zhou Xiaojun: "Your sister is now in front of you, you should also pay attention to your personal problems, there are good ones to grasp among the educated youth, and I don't know when I will have to wait until I return to the city, don't be embarrassed because of this." ”

Zhou Xiaoran smiled at her sister jokingly, Zhou Xiaojun came up angrily to tickle her sister's oxygen, the two giggled and made a mess, Chen Yun looked helplessly, but there was a bright smile on her face.

After Tan Shiguo left, Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiaojun also left one after another.

The house was empty again.

Living alone can be both comfortable and lonely.

Zhou Xiaoran decided to find something to do.

"Let's go together, okay?"

"It's okay, anyway, everyone knows that we both go to the county seat today, and the car is just this one, so why deliberately stagger and cover your ears and steal the bell."

Zhou Xiaoran rarely rides in the car, mainly because she feels that the smell in the car is too bad and not as comfortable as an open-top tractor......

Directly take Zhou Yi to the house in the suburbs, open the lock, and go in.

When Zhou Yi saw the food in the cabinet, he directly clapped the board, "I want all of these, no problem, right?" ”

Absolutely.

"What tickets do you have?"

Zhou Yi took out the ticket from his pocket and showed it to Zhou Xiaoran.

Food stamps, industrial stamps, meat stamps.

100 catties of rice, 100 catties of flour, a total of 80 yuan, 20 catties of food stamps, 2 catties of meat stamps, and 10 * business coupons were all taken.

This price is not expensive, and it is even cheaper than the official one, because she collects fewer food stamps.

"I'll keep the industrial vouchers in the future."

She needs industrial coupons more than food stamps, she is not short of food, but many daily necessities need industrial coupons, which are still very rare, and the basic salary of 20 yuan corresponds to a * business coupon.

Zhou Yi was also quite surprised, it was indeed not expensive.

"I still have five* business coupons in my dormitory, and I'll give it to you when I go back." He also doesn't want to take advantage of others.

"Can I take some back first? After eating, come and get the rest. ”

"Yes, no problem, I rented this house and paid for two years."

Zhou Yi suddenly found that this girl was quite capable of tossing.

"You can take all these preserved fruits, don't need money, it's a giveaway."

"That's embarrassing."

....... Can you not be so expressionless when you say you're embarrassed?

"It's a giveaway."

"Thank you."

............

Zhou Xiaoran followed Zhou Yi back to the Zhiqing Point.

She's going to get an industrial ticket.

"Zhou Yi, where did you get so much rice?" Yu Xiangyang exclaimed.

The intellectuals all gathered around to watch.

"If you want to partner with me, you can give me food stamps, and if you don't want to partner with me, I'll start a partnership by myself."

"I, I'm going with you." Zheng Weiguo was the first to raise his hand.

Yu Xiangyang also wants to be together, but how can he have so many food stamps......

"Zhou Yi, what does your family do? You can get so much food. Zheng Hongbing thought, the family conditions must be very good, it must be a cadre family!

Zhou Yi glanced at Zheng Hongbing lightly, did not speak, and looked at Xu Hui, "What about you?" ”

Xu Hui opened her mouth, wanted to speak and closed it again, only shook her head, she hadn't sent money from her family for two months, and she didn't have a letter, I don't know if something happened.

"Xiaoran, today you are going to the county seat with Zhou Yi, right? Why don't you call me, I just want to buy something. Zheng Hongbing saw that Zhou Yi ignored her, and turned to talk to Zhou Xiaoran.

"We just happened to bump into us, I'll call you next time." Zhou Xiaoran said perfunctorily.

"Well, you have to call me."

"Come here, I'll get you a book."

Zhou Yi interrupted Zheng Hongbing's conversation with Zhou Xiaoran, who knew that he was referring to industrial vouchers.

Zhou Xiaoran smiled apologetically at Zheng Hongbing, got up and followed.

After the two left, Yu Xiangyang suddenly scowled his eyebrows and teased his eyes, "Hey, I said, have you noticed, Zhou Yi and Zhou Xiaoran have been a little wrong recently." ”

"What's wrong?" Zheng Weiguo wondered.

"Tsk, haven't you noticed that the two of them have been muttering together lately." Yu Xiangyang had an expression that you didn't even see.

"Huh? When you say that, it seems to be true. ”

"You say, will the two of them be the same person?"

Xu Hui's hands suddenly clenched tightly, but no one paid attention.

"What is? Don't guess, don't ruin someone's reputation, Zhou Xiaoran has a target, and he is still a soldier. Zheng Hongbing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, how could Zhou Yi look at Zhou Xiaoran when he was not interested in anything? I made several overtures to him, but he turned a blind eye.

"Also, I didn't say it." Yu Xiangyang was also shocked that uncertain things were guessed here, and it was not good for other lesbians to spread out.

Of course, Zhou Xiaoran didn't know that she had become the object of gossip among others, so she opened the Mao Xuan that Zhou Yi gave her, and there were five * business coupons in it.
