Chapter 1382: Rebirth of Educated Youth (9)
Wen Cha didn't say a word, left the five of them, and walked straight into the house.
The three male intellectuals glanced at each other, all a little embarrassed.
Liu Jianhong helped Li Ruonan up from the ground, "Wencha is the youngest, and she has no heart, we should take care of her more in life, instead of doubting her like this, Ruonan, don't let this happen next time." ”
"That's right," the three male intellectuals also agreed: "Wencha is also our comrade, we should unite as one, not be suspicious of each other, Comrade Li Ruonan, I hope you will take it as a warning."
Li Ruonan almost vomited blood when she heard this, she was bullied like this by Wen Cha, they were still talking to Wen Cha, isn't it stupid?
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to really say it, Li Ruonan pretended to be guilty and said: "It seems that I misunderstood and smelled the tea this time, and it was me who was wrong."
"It's good if you can figure it out," Liu Jianhong smiled with relief.
Li Ruonan restrained his urge to scold, stroked Liu Jianhong's hand, picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.
Early the next morning, the tractor in the village was going to the county to purchase, Wen Cha and Liu Jianhong walked to the village together, and one of them spent a dime to get into the car.
There are a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, the car is crowded, the seats on both sides are full, and the rest of the people have to bring their own benches and huddle in the middle.
The person sitting next to the driver's seat turned out to be Liu Jiangyue, who seemed to be able to drive a tractor.
Wen Cha wanted to say hello to him, but when she thought of what Liu Jianhong told her last night, she was a little hesitant.
Liu Jiangyue saw her earlier, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a faint and almost imperceptible smile.
"Jiangzi, what are you doing at the supply and marketing cooperatives this time?" Lao Liu, who was driving, was the brother of the captain of the production team, and he was very familiar with Liu Jiangyue, "Didn't you just go there a few days ago?" ”
"Buy something for grandma."
Lao Liu thought of the mentally abnormal old lady in his family, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, if it weren't for the early death of Liu Jiangyue's parents and the fact that his grandfather became a martyr again, there was only one mentally abnormal old woman left in the family, Liu Jiangyue would have joined the army long ago.
"Is your grandma okay?"
"Well," Liu Jiangyue looked at Wen Cha who was shrunk in the car with a blank look, and said unhurriedly: "She has been much better recently."
Lao Liu smiled: "She doesn't urge you to get married?" You are twenty-three years old this year, and if you continue to delay, it will be difficult to get married in the future. ”
"Don't worry," thinking of the delirious grandmother, Liu Jiangyue's heart was a little tight, "I have my own plans." ”
Seeing this, Lao Liu shook his head, "You're not in a hurry, but your grandmother is in a hurry." ”
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and leaned closer and said: "I have a niece in the neighboring village, you saw it last time, she is nineteen years old this year, she is handsome, and she is also a good worker, and now when it is time to see her mother-in-law's house, I have a good impression of you, and I don't care about your grandmother's situation, if you have an idea, I can let you meet."
The corner of Liu Jiangyue's mouth twitched, "Uncle, I said that there is no urgency in this matter, and I will disappear, so as not to delay other girls." ”
"What's the delay, delay," Lao Liu was a little anxious, his niece had secretly promised Liu Jiangyue since she had met Liu Jiangyue once, and secretly wanted him to help be a matchmaker, and she had the idea of not marrying.
Lao Liu immediately changed his words, "I don't have to get married, it's just to meet, it's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll see it again, what do you think?" ”
"Uncle," Liu Jiangyue said directly, "I don't have that idea of her."
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, "I don't have any ideas now, I will naturally have it after becoming a parent, don't we all come over like this?" ”
Liu Jiangyue said in his heart, if he could do it, he would have done it a long time ago, what are you waiting for now?
"It's a new era, pay attention to free love, uncle, don't worry about me, when the time comes, I will naturally get married."
When Lao Liu heard this, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't take a fancy to his niece when he co-authored it.
"Okay, okay," he waved his hand, "I won't get involved in the affairs of you young people." ”
Liu Jiangyue smiled and did not answer.
After Lao Liu and the others were full, they started the tractor and drove towards the county seat.
The county seat in the 70s and the 21st century could not be compared with nature, and at this time, except for the supply and marketing cooperatives on the street, there were state-run hotels, and no one dared to do speculation.
Wen Cha and Liu Jianhong walked off the tractor hand in hand, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wen Cha took the meat ticket, went straight to the place where the meat was sold, prepared a good tooth sacrifice, lined up to buy a pound of pork belly, two pounds of big bones, and planned to go back and let Liu Jianhong cook it for her.
After buying meat, she also bought ten eggs, planning to eat one a day to replenish her body.
Liu Jianhong is not as extravagant as her, she went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy boxes of alabaster.
Recently, she has been working a lot, her hands are red, and it hurts at night.
There was a long queue to buy alabaster cream, and things like alabaster clam oil at this time, although not as popular as cosmetics in later generations, were essential for young women.
After Liu Jianhong bought alabaster cream, the two of them walked around again and found that there were pastries to buy, and Wencha bought another pastry.
Along the way, the two returned with a full load.
Walking to the corner of the street, Wen Cha saw a familiar figure, standing in a sparsely populated alley, talking to a strange man, looking at the two of them, as if they were making a deal.
Liu Jiangyue seemed to notice her gaze, glanced back, and after finding out that it was her, he was not in a hurry, and hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.
She frowned, and before Liu Jianhong saw it, she pulled her to the tractor.
Liu Jiangyue took the things handed by the man, made an appointment for the next meeting, turned around and walked towards the destination.
From a distance, he saw Wen Cha sitting in his position and whispering to Liu Jianhong, he approached, and when he heard her say how to eat meat at night, he suddenly cried and laughed.
After everyone arrived, Lao Liu drove back to the village again, and at night Wen Cha urged Liu Jianhong to make something delicious, Liu Jianhong made the pork belly into meat sauce, and planned to eat a little bit of warm tea every day, so that the shelf life is also long, and warm tea can be eaten several times.
As for the two catties of bones, they were stewed into soup and eaten that night.
Wen Cha didn't ask Li Ruonan to eat it together, so she wasn't so kind.
Li Ruonan also has backbone, locked in the house and didn't even come out, just smelling the smell of meat in the air and swallowing saliva, swearing in her heart that when she has money in the future, she must eat meat every day, and let Wen Cha do these things to disgust her!
Regarding the contradiction between Wen Cha and Li Ruonan, Liu Jianhong and the three male intellectuals are not easy to persuade, Li Ruonan's brain will not turn, he has to work against Wen Cha, what can they say?
Moreover, no matter how powerful Li Ruonan is, he doesn't have the ability to act as warm tea? If she can treat the big guy to a good meal, who will look down on her?
What's the use of just sulking?
Liu Jiangyue returned to the house, and Grandma Liu, as usual, was sitting at the gate of the courtyard, looking out dementedly, her eyes were blank and out of focus, like an old sculpture.
Liu Jiangyue opened the cloth bag and handed over the candy in his hand, and when Grandma Liu saw the sugar, her eyes seemed to be angry, showing a happy expression.
She peeled one and put it in her mouth, looked at the moon above her head, and suddenly said: "Your grandfather will prepare a bag of candy for me every time he goes back to the battlefield, for fear that I will be bitter in my heart, and tell me not to worry too much about him."
"He sent it for eighteen years in a row and never came back."
Liu Jiangyue looked at her immersed in the past and didn't make a sound to disturb her thoughts.
"Later, your father sent it to me, and he sent it every year, and then he didn't send it anymore."
The more Liu Jiangyue thought of his parents who died early, the impression in his mind was already very light, and he couldn't think about it very lightly.
"Later, you sent it to me." Grandma Liu looked at Liu Jiangyue, who was becoming more and more mature, and showed a kind look, "You have grown up now." ”
Liu Jiangyue didn't answer, for fear that she would suddenly lose her mind again.
"It's time for you to get married, too." Grandma Liu stood up, walked into the house, and took out an old wooden box, "This is something that your grandmother handed down back then, and after passing it to me, I gave it to your mother, but she is also unlucky." ”
Speaking of this, Grandma Liu paused and continued: "I will give you this thing today, and if you meet a girl you like in the future, give it to her."
Liu Jiangyue took over the wooden box, and inside was a jade bracelet, which was in good condition, simple and elegant.
He held the wooden box and wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, but a childish figure suddenly appeared in his mind, he pursed his lips and acquiesced.
Grandma Liu laughed when she saw this, and didn't ask him if he had a girl he liked, and when the sugar in his mouth melted, he became demented again.
Liu Jiangyue put away the jade bracelet, packed up all the fish that were not cooked yesterday, boiled a pot and brought it out, and took Grandma Liu to eat together.
Grandma Liu finished eating quietly and went into the house to rest.
After Liu Jiangyue finished washing the dishes, he looked at the gently cold courtyard, and suddenly felt sporadic loneliness in his heart.
This feeling was not felt before.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, cursed silently, and closed the courtyard door.
The autumn harvest season in Liujia Village lasted for two weeks, and when all the grain was collected, the production team began to distribute the grain from house to house.
Wen Cha and Liu Jianhong got some sweet potatoes and thick noodles.
That night, Liu Jianhong cooked a meal of steamed noodles and combined them with the lard that had been boiled before, and the group was extremely satisfied.
Li Ruonan has been red recently, she has already hooked up with Liu Guodong's mother, and she has perfectly brushed up on her presence.
As long as Liu Guodong's mother has no objections, marrying into the Liu family is also a sure thing.
Wen Cha didn't treat her badly, so she tried her best to move closer to Liu Guodong, watching her fall down and dizzy and coquettish in front of Liu Guodong every day, it felt like watching a drama. I also have a new understanding of her cheekiness.
