Chapter 11: Sisters Talk

Seeing the eldest sister's gloomy eyes, Han Mingxiu's heart was also uncomfortable, and she almost blurted out that the three of them came back to live with her.

But thinking about it, it doesn't feel realistic, the eldest sister is the kind of traditional woman who marries a chicken and a dog, but as long as she can get along with her in-law's house, she will never drag the child back to her parents' house to make trouble for her sister.

Besides, she is about to give birth, maybe she can give birth to a big fat boy, if she has a son, her life may be able to turn around, so the eldest sister will never agree to her, at least not at this time.

Of course, if she still gives birth to a daughter, the eldest sister's life will probably be even worse, and at that time, it will not be too late for her to come back......

"Sister, can you live at home today?" Han Mingxiu asked.

Considering that the eldest sister is heavy, and the road is cold and slippery outside, and it is not easy to walk back and forth, she thought about letting the eldest sister stay at home for one night, she made her some delicious tonic body, and sent some noodles to steamed a few steamed buns, and asked her to take them back to the two nieces and daughters to eat.

The eldest sister said, "No, there is still a lot of work at home, I will leave in a while, and I will rest assured that you are fine." ”

Han Mingxiu was not reluctant, she knew the situation of the eldest sister's family, if she went back late, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law should have something to do again, so it was better to ask her to go back early, and it would save them from finding fault.

"I'll boil you some water, you wait." Seeing the eldest sister sitting on the edge of the kang and only beating her legs, I knew that she must be in a hurry, and she must be thirsty at this time, so she wanted to boil some hot water for her to drink.

The eldest sister said, "Don't bother, just scoop me some cold water to drink." ”

"It's not a bother, I just want to drink it too." Shen Ruolan pulled a few mouthfuls of the remaining pimple soup into her mouth, got up and cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and went into the kitchen, brushing the dishes and chopsticks while boiling water.

The eldest sister didn't see her outside, sitting on the kang, across the wall, and the two sisters talked in a room and a kitchen.

"Xiu, did your second sister write to you during this time?"

"No, the second sister hasn't written to me for a long time, haven't I written to you?" Han Mingxiu is brushing the pot with a broom.

The second sister in her mouth is the second eldest in the family, called Han Mingyu, nineteen years old this year, she married to the county seat before her father's accident last autumn, her husband's surname is Lin, her husband is still a small official, it seems to be the stationmaster of the acquisition station, after the second sister married, she was arranged by her father-in-law to be a temporary worker in the acquisition station, she can earn twelve yuan a month, and it is more than 100 yuan a year, which is more than the big men who earn work points in the tunzi, and they are about to kill the eyes of the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the tunzi.

However, other people's eyes are someone else's, but Han Mingxiu is not greedy, because only she knows what kind of life the second sister is living in the city.

Although the second brother-in-law was very good to the second sister, the second sister's parents-in-law did not like to see the second sister, and always gave her anger openly and secretly, not only did not give her a good face, but also directly told the second sister that they just looked down on rural people, and the second sister was not allowed to recruit rural relatives at home.

At that time, Han Mingxiu didn't know the status of the second sister in her mother-in-law's house, and after her father died, she stupidly went to the second sister's house, planning to live there for a while to relax, but after staying at the house for a day, she came back in a gloomy manner, and never mentioned the matter of going to the city to visit relatives......

The second sister was arranged by her father-in-law to work as a temporary worker in their acquisition station, and she went to work every day, and she was busy with work, and she didn't have time to come back to see her sister, but occasionally he would write her a letter or two to ask about her situation, and the communication between the sisters depended on correspondence.

Later, Han Mingxiu was ordered by her grandmother to Zhang Erdonkey, and Han Mingxiu also wrote a letter to the second sister for help, but unfortunately, the second sister never replied to her or came back to see her.

She had no way to ask for help alone, ran into walls everywhere, and finally hit the wall in despair and died......

For the second sister did not respond to her letter or did not come back to help her, the original owner was resentful, thinking that the second sister was ruthless and unjust, patronizing herself to live a good life, regardless of her sister's life or death......

But now Han Mingxiu feels that she shouldn't complain about the second sister, by recalling what happened when she was a child, she feels that the second sister is not the kind of person who doesn't care about her sister's life and death and patronizes herself to live a good life, the reason why she didn't reply to this letter and didn't come back to help her must be something wrong here.

As for what the problem is, she hasn't figured it out yet, but it definitely won't be the second sister who cares about her.

"I haven't heard a letter either, I don't know what's wrong with this girl, I haven't had a letter for several months, it's really worrying......" The eldest sister was chattering in the house.

Han Mingxiu said, "It's just that I'm going to the town to do something in the past two days, why don't I go to the county seat to see her?" ”

"Well, it's okay to go and have a look, take a look there and leave, don't eat at other people's houses." The eldest sister knew that the second sister's parents-in-law looked down on rural people, and she was afraid that the younger sister would be ignorant and annoying in other people's houses, so she gave an order.

Han Mingxiu said, "I didn't go to her house to see it, I went to their purchase station to see her, and I couldn't meet his family." ”

"That's okay, your second sister is so easy to marry into the city, let's not hold her back."

"yes, I know."

"By the way, what are you going to do in town? Who are you going to? ”

Han Mingxiu said, "I plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a few meters of plastic sheeting, and fix the windows, you see that the house is cold, and it is not hot to burn, I thought about fixing the windows, the wind will not blow in, and the house will be warm."

The eldest sister said, "You child, why do you grow more and more delicate, our family has never ordered plastic sheeting in winter, and I have never heard you talk about the cold before, why do you think of buying that thing now?" What a cost! ”

Han Mingxiuxin said, I used to live in a building with collective heating, and the room temperature was above 20 degrees Celsius in winter, and I was used to that temperature.

Hearing that Han Mingxiu didn't speak, the eldest sister seemed to feel that what she said was a bit too much, and hurriedly made up for it and said: "It's okay to buy some, but you don't have to go to the town, it's hard to run back and forth hungry, it's the first day of the new year in a few days, and it's good to go to the market to buy when you catch up with the market on the first day of the new year, the goods are all on the set, the things are cheap, and you don't need tickets for many things, your brother-in-law buys things when he rushes to the market." ”

The market in the mouth of the eldest sister is a big gathering of several production teams on the first and fifteenth days of each month, these two days, each production team will go to the market, and take the chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock they raise or excess production materials such as grain and firewood to the market to sell, the price is fair, cheaper than the usual purchase, the supply and marketing society and the store will move the backlog of goods to the market to sell, not yet, so everyone is willing to buy things to the market to buy.
