After distributing the grain, Qiao Mu carried it back and forth several times, and carried all the grain to Xu's house.

He himself only kept a few dozen catties of rice.

The next day, Xu Changgui appointed Xu Chengcai, and his brother Xu Chenggong followed Qiao Mu to learn tractors.

Xu Chenggong is only twenty-seven or eighteen, young and powerful people are not stupid, and they will soon be able to get started after learning from Qiao Mu for a few days.

In addition to teaching Xu Chenggong, Qiao Mu did not participate in the labor of the production team, so he and Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng went up the mountain to burn charcoal, and went home for dinner at night.

Susie pinched the time to slip out, and the two talked for a while, sometimes sneaking and hugging, but in half an hour Susie sneaked back again.

This time, Qiao Mu sent a few hundred catties to the Xu family, and the rest of Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng quietly went to the county to sell it, and gave Qiao Mu money, but he didn't ask for it.

In a flash, it has reached the root of the year.

On the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, Xu Zhiqiang returned home.

After lunch, he and Susie built a ladder and pasted couplets.

Outside the courtyard, at the door of the hall, there were big red couplets, and after pasting the couplets, Susie went to the stove house to help her grandmother prepare tomorrow's New Year's dinner.

Grandma steamed glutinous rice, chopped a big pot of minced meat, and planned to make glutinous rice meatballs, which was also a dish during the Chinese New Year last year, and Susie loved to eat it.

In this weather, glutinous rice meatballs can be stored for ten days and a half for no problem, and they can be steamed in the pot when eating.

This year, the team also shared fish.

The Xu family divided two big ones, and the old lady had already pickled them into preserved fish.

Xu Laohan is chopping fish under the command of the old lady, chopping the preserved fish into pieces, putting it in a bowl, and steaming it in the pot to eat.

These dishes are prepared in advance, and tomorrow can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Zhiqiang went to the mountains to chop firewood and came back, so he chopped firewood in the yard.

The family is busy, and there is a lively atmosphere for the New Year.

Xu Zhiqiang chopped firewood and chopped it hot, and his padded jacket was open, and at this time, a half-grown teenager came in from outside and said to Xu Zhiqiang: "Uncle, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Xu Zhiqiang didn't think too much, put down the axe and came out, and came out and saw Yu Xue under the wall.

He hadn't seen Yu Xue in a long time.

The last time I saw Yu Xue was when my eldest brother went home, I took a photo in the collective household, and it has been more than half a year.

Yu Xue's skin is sallow, her curly bangs are gone, a few strands of hair hang down on her forehead, and she looks thin and thin, not at all like a young girl in her early twenties.

Xu Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment and walked over, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Yu Xue bit her lip and nodded slowly, and tears suddenly rolled out of her eyes.

Xu Zhiqiang hurriedly stepped back and looked at her with a wary face.

Yu Xue saw Xu Zhiqiang's expression, her heart was like a knife, and she said in a trembling voice: "Zhiqiang, I was wrong, can you forgive me?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang waved his hand and retreated, "Don't don't, don't be, we have already cleared up between us, and there is no forgiveness or forgiveness." ”

Yu Xue's tears fell like pearls with broken threads, "I really know it's wrong." ”

"I shouldn't have done that to you, I, I shouldn't have ······ with other men"

She looked at him with teary eyes, "Zhiqiang, do you still hate me?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang's expression was calm, "I hated it before, but now I really don't hate it at all." ”

"Our marriage was originally wrong, I don't know you, you don't like me, we are destined to separate."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying this, so be it." After he finished speaking, he turned around, and Yu Xue shouted in a mournful voice: "Zhiqiang, one day husband and wife, I am not having a good time now, are you just watching it like this?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang stopped and didn't look back, "Yu Xue, you have to be clear that we don't have any relationship anymore. ”

When he saw Yu Xue's appearance just now, he felt a little pity, so he would stand here and say a few words to her.

Xu Zhiqiang stepped into the house and continued to chop wood.

Yu Xue suddenly squatted under the wall and cried.

She knew that Xu Zhiqiang didn't love her anymore, and he didn't even have any residual feelings, and the eyes he looked at him were so strange, and the eyes full of love before were worlds apart.

After divorcing Xu Zhiqiang, Li Xinliang took her to kill the child in her belly.

She lived in Li Xinliang's dormitory for a while, and before Xiao Yuezi finished sitting, the two rolled together again.

She lived in Li Xinliang's dormitory like this, ate in the canteen of his unit every day, and went to the cinema to watch movies at night.

It's just that it didn't take long for Yu Xue to find out that she was pregnant again.

Yu Xue didn't want this child herself, she still wanted to go back to Haicheng, and it was impossible to marry a man from a small county town and have children.

Li Xinliang didn't want it even more, so he took her to the hospital to do it.

In just three months, Yu Xue's body was much worse than two abortions.

At the beginning, Yu Xue still had some money in her hand, so she went to the black market to change her cloth ticket, bought several beautiful clothes, bought leather shoes, bought alabaster, and dressed herself up beautifully every day.

The money was almost spent, and I asked Li Xinliang for it, but Li Xinliang didn't give it, and said with a heartfelt voice: "I provide you with food and drink every day, and my salary is spent on you, where is the money!" ”

Yu Xue felt that she had suffered a loss, she beat two children for Li Xinliang, and Li Xinliang should give her nutrition money.

She quarreled with Li Xinliang.

Li Xinliang had long been tired of Yu Xue, and the two had a big quarrel, Li Xinliang immediately threw Yu Xue's clothes or something out of the door, and Yu Xue drove out.

How could Yu Xue be willing to be driven away like this, and make a fuss outside Li Xinliang's dormitory, attracting the staff of the movie theater to come and watch, and finally recruited the leaders of the movie theater.

The leader mediated for a long time, and finally Li Xinliang promised to give Yu Xue fifty yuan and break up peacefully.

Yu Xue took the money and returned to Giethoorn but was dumbfounded, the collective household was in ruins, and she didn't know where to go with her bed, luggage, bucket, basin or something.

When I found the big army and asked, it was okay, these things were put in the warehouse for her.

It's just that her quilt and everything are covered with dry mud, and no one washes her.

Xu Changgui arranged for her to be in a member's house.

The family is poor, and they don't have a little oil and water to eat every day.

She is now in much worse health, and it is impossible for her to carry water and chop wood for cooking.

Yu Xue didn't sit down well twice in the confinement period, eating some sweet potatoes and corn every day, vegetables without oil and salt, and she had to go to work, and she was in a very bad mood, and her body was falling day by day.

Fortunately, I recently moved back to the collective household, and the food was better than in the villager's house.

It's just that the body can't be raised for a while.

During this time, she thought a lot alone, and in retrospect, Xu Zhiqiang was really good to her, he cooked at home, paid her every month, and talked to her softly.

It's going to be the New Year, she thinks that Xu Zhiqiang should go home, so she thinks about coming to him and wants to start over with him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqiang had completely put her down.
