Chapter 13: The Neighbor Cried
Looking at the postman's satchel full of letters, Lin Nianhe stepped forward: "Hello comrade, I'm Lin Nianhe, is there a letter from me?" ”
The postman's name is Zhou Xu, a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a Chinese face, and he looks very decent.
Hearing Lin Nianhe's words, his gaze couldn't help but turn around on her face.
looks like a fairy, no wonder Brother Cheng is so concerned.
He didn't dare to look at it more, so he took out a tightly wrapped paper bag and handed it to Lin Nianhe: "It's not a letter, it's Brother Cheng who asked me to bring it." ”
"Thank you."
Lin Nianhe took it suspiciously, the paper bag was soft, and it didn't look like something to eat.
Brother Cheng? Su Yuncheng?
But didn't she say in the morning that Su Yuncheng would always remember herself? Why did he send things again?
That's ...... A belated period of rebellion?
She smacked her tongue and shook her head helplessly.
How can she repay this favor?
She was pondering, Miao Yulan came out of the courtyard quickly, took the letter and hurried back, she always lowered her head, like an angry bag.
Lin Nianhe remembered that from yesterday to today, she had never heard Miao Yulan speak.
This person is like a little transparent in the educated youth point, she has been working hard, even if they were noisy yesterday, she has not expressed any opinion.
Lin Nianhe unconsciously looked at her a few more times.
She was shaking her mind when she was slapped on the back by Wen Lan.
"What do you want? Don't go back to cooking and eating? You're not hungry. ”
Lin Nianhe was caught off guard and stumbled by her.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
You have to exercise well, or you will be shot to death by Wen Lan sooner or later.
The front yard is Sun Guanghui cooking with an old intellectual, Wang Shumei and Wen Lan went back to the house to rest, Lin Nianhe ignored their villain's face, snorted lightly and raised his chin back to his small courtyard.
Su Yuncheng sent a lot of things today, all of which were daily necessities such as pots and pans, which greatly alleviated Lin Nianhe's dilemma of insufficient materials.
Before cooking, Lin Nianhe opened the paper bag.
It's a red gauze scarf, it's very red.
Lin Nianhe almost cried ugly.
This...... Probably because Su Yuncheng saw that her face was scratched and asked her to cover her face with a scarf before she worked, right?
It's also to blame for her inexperience, the girls in the brigade almost have to cover their faces when they work in the fields, she used to think it was sunscreen, and she thought that everything would be fine if she applied sunscreen, but she didn't want them to defend against physical attacks.
Lin Nianhe was once again impressed by Su Yuncheng's carefulness, and wrote a small half page on the notepad in bits and pieces, and then took an eggplant from the dish sent by Aunt Li yesterday, washed it and steamed it in the pot, and steamed a bowl of rice by the way.
After cooking, I mixed it with the beef hot sauce in the space, and the children in the neighborhood cried greedily.
Neighbor...... I really cried.
When Lin Nianhe was washing the dishes, he heard the cry of grief and sorrow coming from the front yard.
She washed the dishes in three or two clicks, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went straight to the scene of eating melons.
Lin Nianhe thought that it was Wang Xue and they were finding fault again, and they were cried by Wang Shumei or beaten by Wen Lan to cry, but who expected that the truth was far more exciting than she imagined.
The front yard was very embarrassing at the moment, a group of male intellectuals were playing wooden man games in the courtyard, and the female intellectuals were all in Wang Xue's house.
Lin Nianhe was overjoyed to eat the melon, and asked seriously: "What's wrong?" ”
Sun Guanghui scratched his scalp and replied: "It seems that Comrade Miao Yulan's family has sent a letter." ”
It's all here, if you don't finish eating the melon, Lin Nianhe won't be able to sleep well.
With care for her comrades, she also entered Wang Xue's house.
Wang Shumei stood by the door, and when she saw Lin Nianhe coming, she whispered to her:
"Miao Yulan wrote from home that her brother got married, and the woman asked for three turns and one ring plus eighty-eight yuan in bride price, and I don't know what her parents think, so they asked her for money."
Lin Nianhe's eyes widened.
Parents who eat commercial grain in the city ask for money for their daughters, who are digging in the fields, for their son's bride price.
Lin Nianhe couldn't understand this operation.
Miao Yulan burst into tears, grabbed Wang Xue's hand and said, "What should I do...... What should I do...... I have just enough food left for the autumn harvest...... What am I going to give my brother to marry a daughter-in-law......"
A few intermittent words, I didn't hear the complaints about the eccentric parents, and I could feel a trace of panic in my trembling tone.
Lin Nianhe pinched the melon seeds, this melon was poisonous, and she didn't want to eat it.
Before she turned around, she heard Wang Xue say: "Yulan, don't cry, calm down, let's think about it, there are more ways than difficulties." ”
Miao Yulan seemed to be reminded, and looked around the room with teary eyes, and her eyes fell on Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, in the next second, Miao Yulan struggled to jump off the kang, threw herself in front of Lin Nianhe, grabbed her hand, looked at her expectantly and said, "Lin Zhiqing, you, can you lend me some money?" ”
The sudden turn of events made Wang Shumei and Wen Lan stunned, and Yu Xiangqin also looked at Miao Yulan with disbelief.
Lin Nianhe only felt that her wrist was stinging by the cocoon in Miao Yulan's palm, she frowned, broke away from Miao Yulan's hand and said, "I have only known you for a day, and you asked me if it is appropriate to borrow money?" And, how much are you going to borrow? Are you solvent? ”
Miao Yulan was excited at this moment, and she didn't hear the euphemistic refusal in Lin Nianhe's words, and said directly: "Can you borrow me 200 yuan?" I'll write you an IOU, and I'll pay it back to you! ”
Wen Lan screamed directly: "Two hundred? What do you think? ”
Lin Nianhe laughed angrily: "I don't have it, I can't borrow it." ”
Miao Yulan trembled as if she had been struck by lightning, took two steps back, and leaned against the door.
Yu Xiangqin whispered on the side: "Yulan, don't be stupid, what do you pay back when you borrow so much money?" ”
Miao Yulan's tears that had just stopped began to fall again: "Then what if my brother can't marry a daughter-in-law......
Lin Nianhe said in his heart, if you can't marry, you can't marry, and if you are single, you don't break the law.
However, this kind of single-mindedness is obviously not suitable for this era, she didn't say anything, and she was too lazy to be a spiritual mentor for Miao Yulan.
Wang Xue stood up, looked at Lin Nianhe and said: "Lin Zhiqing, since everyone has come here from all over the world, they should help each other, two hundred yuan is indeed a lot, but it can save the happiness of a family!" If you have the money to eat meat and make furniture, can't you help Yulan? Isn't everyone's happiness better than one's happiness? ”
Lin Nianhe stared at Wang Xue: "What do you want to say?" ”
Wang Xue cleared her throat, and said in a round, round, announcer-like words: "Everyone is a comrade, you have nothing to do with yourself, are you too disregarded about comradeship?" We should help each other! ”
Wen Lan shuddered when she heard this.
She suddenly remembered her enamel teapot.
