There are not even hares and pheasants on Guizi Mountain now, there are a lot of wild grape vines in some ditches, Jiang Xinyu picked some purple grapes that looked ripe and tasted them, and her face was wrinkled into a ball by the sourness.

She picked and picked a large basket, enough for her to make several jars. However, there are not enough jars at home, so I have to go and get two more back.

When she got home, it was already dark, and there were many people in the courtyard of Jiang Xinyu's house.

As soon as Chen Yi saw this posture, he found a reason to go home, and this group of aunts and aunts gathered in a bunch to talk until tomorrow morning.

Jiang Xinyu washed the grapes and talked to everyone about dry mouth, and finally did not forget to summarize the importance of going to school to them.

Chen Xiuyun was happy today and specially steamed two eggs for Jiang Xinyu.

The mother and daughter drank cold green vegetable porridge and had dinner with sauced beef.

The clean and washed grapes were selected and dried overnight, and at noon the next day, Chen Yi sent three clean jars and a bag of white sugar.

Jiang Xinyu took all the white sugar at home and the sugar that Chen Yi brought up, but she still didn't think it was enough. Chen Xiuyun looked at her as a loser, and she didn't say much.

When the grapes were all pinched and all the wine jars were placed, most of the day passed.

Jiang Xinyu has a lot of things to do these days, and it has been a few days since she left school, she has to report to the school with a letter of introduction, and then pick up all the daily necessities in her residence.

In addition to the student dormitory, there is also a small house on the north side of the classroom, where there are a few trees, and the weeds around it are quite luxuriant, and the school teacher's dormitory is there.

Jiang Xinyu took Xie Xiaofang's class, and naturally lived in her previous dormitory, and there was another female teacher in her twenties in the dormitory, named Song Guifang.

Song Guifang's mother's family is from the Miaoxi Brigade under the Red Flag Commune, and she is married, but her mother-in-law's family is in the forward brigade.

The dormitory space is not large, so there are two beds, and Song Guifang has an old wardrobe with her own things in it.

Chen Xiuyun put down the enamel basin, looked around the room and said, "I'll bring you a cabinet next time." ”

Jiang Xinyu didn't object, the number of her clothes was not enough to use the wardrobe, and stacking them on the bed was not in the way at all, but she inevitably had some personal belongings to put in.

There were still two old tables in the middle of the dormitory, and Jiang Xinyu put all the lesson plans Xie Xiaofang gave her on the table, and also put her own books and a small amount of stationery together.

After leaving school, Chen Xiuyun wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some things, and walking on the street, Jiang Xinyu saw Yuan Chunhua, whose eyes were sunken, and Zhou Dazhuang, who was hanging his head like ashes, and there were signs with insulting words written on them.

The battle in front of him was quite big, and people were talking, spitting and despising.

Jiang Xinyu had always wanted to see the excitement before, but at this time, that kind of thought suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't tell the taste in her heart at this time.

Comrade Chen Xiuyun took her to the supply and marketing cooperatives quickly and bought white cloth and thread that could be used to hold the soles of her shoes. I originally wanted to buy white sugar, but the supply and marketing cooperatives ran out of stock.

When the mother and daughter returned home, they found that Jiang Yuzhu had returned.

Jiang Yuzhu brought back a lot of things this time, and most of the things Zhou Qi sent her back let her bring back.

A can of preserved fruits with a very attractive color, snacks in an iron box, a pack of white rabbit toffee, jasmine tea in a yellow paper bag, and some small snacks such as bits and pieces of fruit dan peel.

Chen Xiuyun asked, "Where did they all come from?" ”

Jiang Yuzhu said uncomfortably: "It was sent to me by someone from the Capital Film Studio." ”

She vaguely slurred Zhou Qi, and without waiting for Chen Xiuyun to say anything, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Mom, people have sent me a lot of things, and I want to send some back." ”

Chen Xiuyun nodded, "This is as it should be." However, the things sold in our supply and marketing cooperatives are estimated to be not uncommon in the capital, and what to send is also a problem. ”

Jiang Xinyu pointed to the jujube tree in the courtyard, "The jujube is almost ripe, can you send it?" ”

"If it's dried, it can be delivered, otherwise it will be stuffy for many days on the road."

What to give as a return gift is indeed a problem, this big bag of things is not cheap, Chen Xiuyun thought of the yam planted by the big girl commune brigade and the half bag of peanuts that Chen Yi had fought at night before.

Jiang Yuzhu had already paid her salary and gave Chen Xiuyun her salary and bills.

Chen Xiuyun only received ten yuan, and let her keep the rest by herself, and the ten yuan was also saved, and when her daughter got married in the future, she would also keep it for her as private money.

In addition to the things sent by Zhou Qi, Jiang Yuzhu also brought back two pig's trotters and a stick bone that didn't have any meat.

Chen Xiuyun went to cook, and Jiang Yuzhu took out a purple two-finger-wide headband for Jiang Xinyu.

While the sisters were talking, Jiang Yuzhu was pleasantly surprised to learn that her little sister was going to go to the commune junior high school to substitute teach in the future.

"I used to substitute for people, I haven't rested for more than a month, I have saved all the holidays, this time I can stay at home for four days, let's find a time to go to the eldest sister to have a look."

Jiang Xinyu is about to officially start school the day after tomorrow, and if she wants to go to Jiang Zhenzhen's, she can only go tomorrow.

Chen Xiuyun also heard what the sisters said, and she simply agreed.

The two of them have jobs now, which can be regarded as a small success, so let them go to Jiang Zhenzhen's mother-in-law's house to hang around, but also to remind Jiang Zhenzhen's mother-in-law that she will be less bullying in the future.

In the evening, the members are most active, and many people go to the door of other people's houses to eat together.

Jiang Xinyu's house is now a place where people in the village love to gather, and everyone knows that Jiang Yuzhu is back, and everyone comes to inquire about her work and life in the city.

The fragrant stewed pig's trotters were gluttonous, and the people who were hungry sniffed, envious in their hearts, don't want it.

Look at people's days, the more prosperous they are, they can eat meat several times a month, which is like them, they can only catch field chickens and eat to satisfy their hunger. But when they thought that Chen Xiuyun had no son, and that they would be old and lonely in the future, these people's minds were balanced a lot.

A bunch of people talk about this and that, Yuan Chunhua is no longer a human being in the mouths of everyone.

The old man Jiang sucked the bud rice porridge with a rice bowl and squatted cheekily in the courtyard of Jiang Xinyu's house, Jiang Xinyu was gnawing on the cooked bud grain stick.

There is a shortage of everything else in the brigade, that is, there is no shortage of bud grains, and every household wants to vomit when they eat stick noodles and wotou food.

Jiang Xinyu felt that the taste of fresh corn cob was still different from that of Wowotou when cooked, and she was very energetic to eat.

Not only is the corn cob delicious, but the corn stalk is also delicious, although it is not as rich as sugar cane juice, but it also has a sweet taste, and this thing is also something that the village children are hungry for.

The pig's trotters were stewed red and bright, soft and delicious, with mushrooms and chili peppers, and the taste wafting out of the pot was drooling without lifting the lid.

Chen Xiuyun didn't want Old Man Jiang to take advantage of his family, and there were many people in this courtyard, so he simply kept stuffy and let everyone smell it.

When everyone was almost gone, the old man Jiang reluctantly left, Chen Xiuyun brought a bowl to the widow Wang, and the mother and daughter began to feast when they came back.

Early in the morning of the second day, the four children of Yuan Chunhua's family cried loudly, and the members of the club learned that Yuan Chunhua had committed suicide by swallowing rat poison.
