Saturday, today is the time to pick up things with the cotton house.

Li Heng was not in a hurry, and waited until noon to finish eating and resting, then he went over to take the net cover and sent it back to the courtyard over there.

Xu is the weather is good today, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the women in the courtyard were all sitting at the door, chatting with each other and doing needlework on the other.

The three aunts, Jia Zhang's, her daughter-in-law, Xu Damao's wife, Guo's aunt-in-law, and even the old lady in the backyard are there.

"Yo, Erheng, you're here, this is to play the cotton?"

The sudden enthusiasm of an aunt made Li Heng a little unaccustomed, after all, he didn't say a few words to the people in this courtyard except for Xu Damao.

"Oh, Auntie, I'll send it back just after I played. Two aunts and three aunts ......"

A series of greetings, except for Qin Huairu, he didn't know how to say hello to this, just called his name? That Jia Zhang is estimated to be able to pounce directly and scratch his face, she can look at this daughter-in-law who bought it for three yuan, and she has to lead it wherever she goes, so she is afraid of running away or being seduced by someone.

But now that Qin Huairu is pregnant, Jia Zhang's can be a little more relieved, woman, after you let her go after having a child, she may not leave.

In addition, she is a rural hukou, where else can she go out of this door? You may not even be able to eat food.

After dealing with a few questions from these aunts at the door, he was able to get out and walk into the courtyard.

In the house, he spread the quilt cover that Xu Damao helped bring in yesterday on the bed, and then put the net cover on it and compared, well, just right.

Thinking that it was still early, and the unit had nothing to do anyway, he simply took the needle and thread he bought by the way when he came over just now and began to sew the quilt.

When I was in the army, I had to do all the work, I had to mend my clothes when they were torn, and I sewed them after the quilts were dismantled and washed, so it was not difficult to do these things now.

While he was sewing the quilt in the house, the women outside the house waited for him to enter, and the topic of conversation had shifted to him.

"This Erheng doesn't know what to think, he's twenty-eight years old, why isn't he in a hurry to find a partner?"

"Hey, how long has he been back, it's not been a month, even if you're in a hurry, you have to have a process. Speaking of this Erheng, why did he go to the scrap station? ”

"Ruihua, don't look at people assigned to the scrap station and feel bad, I met Deputy Director Chen of the Street Office when I went out this morning, by the way, Erheng is a cadre, and he is assigned to the scrap station as the deputy stationmaster."

"Hey, the deputy stationmaster! His second aunt, what you said is true? ”

"This can still be fake, Deputy Director Chen said it himself, he can't be idle and talk casually."

This is a big satellite, they all think that Li Heng is also a worker, and they feel that it is not a good unit to be assigned to the scrap station, but they don't think that they are still cadres, they used to be the deputy station manager, and this time it has changed.

"So, when he was in the army, he was promoted?"

"That's for sure, otherwise how can I be a cadre."

"The two sons of the old Li family want to get it, but it's a pity that Xiaoyuan had such an accident with his father, otherwise wouldn't this Teacher Li enjoy Qingfu at home in the future."

"This is fate, and he should not be able to enjoy this blessing in his fate." The old lady, who had been silent, suddenly said.

Qin Huairu, who also didn't speak, just lowered his head to sew clothes, also glanced up at the old lady at this time, and involuntarily appeared in his mind Li Heng's face that although it was a little dark, it looked very delicate.

"This Erheng doesn't know how much he can get every month's salary?"

"I don't know, but I have to get more than fifty anyway, don't college students get fifty-six after they enter the factory and become regulars, they are also cadres."

"That can be the same, people are also a leader now, I think it must be higher." The second aunt said conclusively.

And her words also made several people nod at the same time, only Jia Zhang's nodded at the same time, but in the bottom of her heart she was very disdainful, she thought that no one was as good as her son, although now it is only a first-class worker, but Dongxu told her that day, at the end of this year, she will definitely be able to pass the assessment and become a second-level worker, and by then the salary will be more than forty.

Although she is still not as tall as anyone else, her son is young, only twenty-three this year, five years younger than that Erheng.

She doesn't think about it, her son Jia Dongxu now has a salary of more than 30 yuan a month, it stands to reason that with this salary, the life of a family of three should be comfortable, but why is her family's life always tight all month long.

Isn't it because she can't eat rations because she has a rural household registration, so she can find a daughter-in-law for her son and get the same, and it is definitely not enough for a family of three to eat one ration, what if she is lacking, can she not go to the ghost market to buy high-priced grain or food stamps?

Others buy a pound of grain and two cents, and you have to get four cents when you come to your house, and the days are not unbearable, and now the daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the child born is registered with the mother.

Howling and adding a mouth to eat, the family's rations have not changed, and even if her son becomes a second-class worker, their family's life will still be sad.

This is actually all to blame on Jia Zhang's family, she was worried that she would not be able to hold it by herself to find a daughter-in-law in the city, so she went to the countryside to spend money to buy such a play, but she was able to hold her daughter-in-law, but the life of the family became poorer and poorer.

……

Li Heng nested in the house alone, and by the time he had sewn all the bedding, it was already past four o'clock.

Standing on the edge of the bed and looking at his results for the afternoon, he nodded with satisfaction.

Now it's okay, everything is alive, and you can move back whenever you want.

But when he thought of the doorman Lao Zheng, he frowned unconsciously, this old man didn't know what he was doing, he always felt that he was a little strange.

Forget it, continue to sleep in the office tonight, just rest tomorrow and Sunday, and go to the department store and the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy all the things that are missing at home, and then officially move back to live.

As for what to buy?

Grain, spices, coal, bicycles, radios, he was going to buy them all at once.

It's strange to say, there is not a single bicycle in this yard, and the bicycle is really not cheap in these years, and the better ones are more than 200, and they also need tickets.

But if there are not 100,000 bicycles in Sijiu City, there must be more than 90,000 bicycles, which can be judged according to the steel stamp smashed by the police station on the car, why didn't anyone buy this yard?

Uncle Yi's salary is not low, and he has no burden, why doesn't he buy it? I don't understand.
