Chapter 40, Silver Bracelets and Gift-giving
"It's not decided yet, let's wait until tomorrow's interview is confirmed."
For many years, he smiled and did not reveal it directly.
Otherwise, it won't take half a day for the whole hospital to know.
After lunch, I continued to dig the septic tank in the afternoon.
Li Baoguo's family has already disposed of the things in the room.
Approaching 4 p.m., Li Baoguo's family loaded their luggage onto the car, said goodbye to their neighbors, and went to the train station to take the train south.
As soon as Lao Li's family left, the house was completely emptied, and there was nothing left.
"After getting along for more than ten years, I didn't expect Lao Li to search so much."
Walking around the room, Zhou Hongmei looked at the empty room and muttered.
For many years, I was busy drawing lines and marking the house, and when the masters came over tomorrow, I could start working directly.
There is not much room that needs to be demolished, because Li Baoguo only used some wood for partitions before, and basically rarely used bricks.
Because if the brick partition wall is used, it will occupy the usable area of the room.
When I was about to remove the partition and carry it for many years, I accidentally cut my arm.
The wound was not big, but it was spilling blood, and he looked at it, and the amount of blood was almost negligible, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After wiping the blood, the blood kept flowing, flowing to the silver bracelet on his wrist.
The silver bracelet was put on by Zhou Hongmei before he went to join the army.
At that time, he didn't want to ask for it, because no man would wear it, only girls would wear it, didn't it make people laugh at him?
But Zhou Hongmei told him that he had no choice but to wear this thing.
In the five years in the army, he did not wear it once.
When I got home, I couldn't hide it, so I had to wear it.
For many years I didn't notice that the blood stains had disappeared from the silver bracelet, or to be precise, absorbed.
After a busy afternoon, when he looked at his arm again, a thin layer of blood scabs had already clotted.
When it was approaching dusk, he did not continue to work for many years, but prepared to send Qin Huairu home.
The latter had been in the city for two days and was supposed to go back.
Walking out of the courtyard, Qin Huairu was still a little shy and kept a safe distance of more than ten centimeters from him.
When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, he asked her to wait for many years, and he went to buy some gifts.
"You don't need to buy gifts, you need money everywhere now, and I don't lack anything at home, I have food at home......"
When Qin Huairu heard this, he didn't care so much, and directly grabbed his arm.
The next moment, she reacted herself, and let go of him with a flushed face.
He took a small step back, but his tone was firm, telling him not to buy any gifts.
Waste of money!
"How can anyone come to the door for the first time without giving a gift?" After many years of smiling, Qin Huairu was anxious:
"Didn't you say you were going to ask a matchmaker to propose? You don't talk ....."
His eyes were red, and tears had already brewed, as long as he dared to deny it, the next moment it would definitely be a downpour.
"Is there a conflict in me buying my own gifts? These are two different things, you just wait a minute, and it will be fine soon. ”
After all, I haven't explained it to her for many years.
Now that you are sure that you want to marry her, then just treat her well.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, for many years, the salesman took two packets of big front door, five cents of peanuts and melon seeds, and ten catties of wheat flour.
Flour is a dime and eight cents a pound, and ten catties is a piece of eight cents.
But that's not the point, the point is that flour needs food stamps.
And most importantly, it has a limit on this thing.
The non-agricultural population eats grain supplied by the state, also known as commercial grain, and the ration system is implemented, and the average adult eats 27-30 catties per person per month.
If it is similar to heavy manual labor workers such as foundry workers and rebar workers, the monthly grain ration is 43 city catties.
Therefore, ten catties of wheat flour may not seem expensive, but in fact it is difficult to buy.
In addition to flour, I wanted to buy something other for many years, such as pork and the like.
But now it is afternoon, and there is no meat in the supply and marketing cooperative, so I can only give up.
Qin Huairu saw him come out with something in his hands, and he was so shocked that he covered his little mouth, and then rushed forward to stop him:
"Go back, go back!"
It's so cute!
Seeing her anxious look, these three words popped up in her mind for many years.
It is impossible to return it.
What else did she want to say, but for many years she urged Qin Huairu that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to catch the bus.
At this time, the Beijing bus is a bit similar to the intercity bus in 2023, with few passengers.
However, at this point today, many years after the two of them got in the car, they found that there were a lot of people.
It seems that no matter what era it is, there are still many rich people.
On the seat behind the bus, Qin Huairu complained in his ear for many years:
"Why do you think you're spending this unjust money? A bus ride costs a dime and a half cent, and two people can buy a pound of pork....."
"If the two of us walk back, we will consume more energy than a pound of pork on the way."
Poof!
The conversation between the two provoked the passengers who were eavesdropping in front of them to laugh.
Qin Huairu blushed in shame, gently stretched out her little hand, and twisted it on the soft flesh on his waist.
The next moment, her small hands were covered by a pair of large hands.
This made her pretty face even redder.
Fortunately, the two of them were sitting in the last row of the bus, but no one noticed their small movements, otherwise she wouldn't dare to stretch out her hand in public.
She tried to withdraw her hand, but couldn't.
After struggling for a long time, it was still useless, so she had to be discouraged.
It was at this time that many years suddenly whispered, "You want me to let my guard down so you can escape, right?" ”
was recognized, Qin Huairu rolled her beautiful eyes, turned her head away, and ignored him.
But in her heart, she still enjoys the time with him now.
However, the bus finally arrived, and the two let go of their hands and got off.
sent Qin Huairu to the entrance of the village, and let her go back by herself for many years.
"It's all at the door, why don't you come in and drink some water before leaving?"
Qin Huairu felt very strange, was her home a Longtan tiger's den? As for making him so afraid?
"No need, I didn't make any preparations this time, it's not suitable to visit, you can go back quickly."
Many years waved his hand, ready to see her go.
"Well, then I'll go to you early tomorrow."
Like many young couples who fall in love, Qin Huairu, who is still experiencing sweet love for the first time, is also very reluctant to part with him.
The few steps into the village are all three steps and one turn.
When she entered the village, many years she spread her feet and ran quickly into the city.
When he got home, Lao Xu and the others had already returned, and Yi Zhonghai and other people also gathered at his door after work, wanting to take a look.
Lao Xu couldn't stay idle, just walked around the ear room, and then came to the septic tank to help dig.
At the same time, in the backyard, Liu Haizhong raised the stick again, and the voices of the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, crying for their fathers and mothers, sounded again.
