Chapter 28 Li Yulian was instigated to go into the city to find Ruan Qingqing's family
There is a saying in the countryside that the daughter who marries spills the water, and Ruan Zhen is a stark example.
Since marrying into Xinmin Village, she has returned to her parents' house no more than one hand in total, even if the two sides are only five or six miles apart, and it takes less than half an hour to walk.
In the final analysis, it was Ruan Zhen who broke up with Li Yulian when she got married.
Although the rural conditions are poor and materials are scarce, they are very particular about the etiquette of red and white ceremonies.
When Ruan Zhen got married, the man gave enough dowry according to customs, but when he came to Li Yulian's side, he didn't prepare for Ruan Zhen to marry according to the number of courtesies, not mentioning the large pieces such as sewing machines and furniture, and even the small pieces such as kettles, basins, and quilts.
Ruan Zhen married Xinmin Village almost empty-handed, which not only made her unable to hold her head up in her in-law's house, but also made her a laughing stock of the people in the two villages.
Until now, there are still people who make fun of this from time to time.
Ruan Zhen has been angry for half her life, and she has hated Li Yulian for half her life, and she has no good face for Ruan Xiuxiu, the niece who is favored by Li Yulian, and Ruan Xiuxiu didn't even pour a glass of water when she entered the door.
And when Ruan Xiuxiu said the purpose, Ruan Zhen refused without hesitation.
Ruan Xiuxiu was prepared and told Ruan Zhen that she would pay her wages and give five yuan for two days to help with it.
In the countryside, the salary is very high, but Ruan Zhen is still unwilling.
If you don't fight for steamed buns, you have to fight for breath, she will never go back to her parents' house to help in her life!
Ruan Zhen can't look down on five yuan, but her man Mao Xingquan can see it, anyway, his family has little land, and the buds have been almost harvested, and he is idle.
On the way back, Ruan Xiuxiu excused herself that she didn't want Li Yulian and the two old men to work too hard, so she spent money to ask Mao Xingquan to help harvest the bud valley, and asked Mao Xingquan not to tell the two old men about the salary.
Mao Xingquan naturally agreed.
Regarding Mao Xingquan's "free door-to-door" efforts, Li Yulian and Ruan Hongfa naturally will not refuse.
With Mao Xingquan's help, the buds in the field were harvested in only one and a half days, and even the buds were properly packed up and set up into a stack of large umbrellas, so that they were not afraid that they would get wet and rotten when it rained.
Xu was happy, at lunchtime, Li Yulian took half a catty of bacon from the granary for the first time, fried a large pot of beans and invited Mao Xingquan to make a tooth sacrifice.
Half a catty of bacon is the size of a fist, but the four people didn't finish eating, because it was too salty, and it took half a bowl of red rice to suppress it.
However, in the past two days of harvesting buds, Ruan Xiuxiu knew the reason why Fu Haixia returned to the village.
Fu Haixia has now been promoted to supervisor, and this time she is coming back to recruit some young people from the village to work in the south.
It is said that the salary is not low, and the minimum income can be 100 yuan a month, and there are many people in the village who want to go, and even those in the next village have found Fu Haixia, and now Fu Haixia has become a celebrity in the village.
Ruan Xiuxiu was not too envious.
When she graduated and became a teacher, she got an iron rice bowl, is she not as glorious as Fu Haixia, a part-time worker?
In the evening, Ruan Xiuxiu talked to Li Yulian about going into the city early tomorrow morning to borrow money from Ruan Dahai, and took the opportunity to say Liu Guilan's instructions.
Li Yulian didn't squeak with a sad face, but when she went out the next morning, she still brought up the royal jelly, in addition to the royal jelly, there were also chicken cakes and sugar cakes bought by Ruan Xiuxiu, etc., and there was a large cloth bag, and there was a urea woven bag on the outside of the cloth bag.
lest when she meets a child from the same village or relatives on the road, the child will ask her greedily.
After entering the city, Li Yulian first went to Ruan Dajiang's noodle shop, and after putting down her things, she went to the garment factory to find Ruan Dahai non-stop.
However, the two went unlucky, Ruan Dahai went out to talk about things, and he didn't return to the factory in the afternoon.
Li Yulian and Ruan Xiuxiu had to turn around and go to Ruan's house.
Li Yulian had just left the garment factory on the front foot, and Ruan on the back foot received a call from Yang Wenzhong lightly.
Regarding Ruan Xiuxiu's comeback, Ruan Qingqing actually expected it.
She simply collected all the valuables in the house, locked them all in Ruan Dahai's room, and even hid all the new dresses and shoes and bags in her closet.
After finishing the work, Li Yulian and Ruan Xiuxiu also arrived.
Ruan gently and enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the door, and they were making sugar water to drink and washing fruits, and when they learned that the two had not eaten lunch, Ruan Qing immediately took his wallet and wanted to take the two of them out to eat and copy.
Li Yulian scolded Ruan lightly for spending money indiscriminately, but she followed Ruan lightly to the door.
Ruan was as obedient as her grandson in front of Li Yulian, but she was domineering and ruthless in front of her, but Ruan Xiuxiu was so stunned.
"Gently, my grandmother and I came to borrow tuition from the second uncle this time, we are sisters, will you help me?"
Ruan lightly knew that Ruan Xiuxiu was deliberately responding to her, and nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you have finally been admitted to university, and you will be assigned a job when you graduate in the future, that is a proper iron rice bowl, how can I smash your rice bowl." ”
Ruan Xiuxiu smiled weirdly, "That's good, I'm afraid that you are still angry with me and won't let my second uncle lend me money to study." ”
"One yard to one yard, it's inevitable that my sister's family will be angry, but why can't I ruin your future because of this little thing, grandma, do you think I'm right?"
Li Yulian glanced at her, "Count your dead girl and baby still have a little conscience." ”
The hot handicaps were quickly served, floating in the soup bowl full of red oil like silver ingots, and the soup noodles were dotted with green green onions, which was tempting just to look at.
Seeing that Li Yulian was eating with a greasy mouth and sweating profusely, Ruan gently and thoughtfully ordered another bottle of soy milk.
After eating, Ruan gently took Li Yulian to buy clothes again.
Li Yulian scolded Ruan lightly as usual, saying that she spent money indiscriminately, but when she turned around, she followed Ruan lightly into the clothes shop, smiling so much that her face was almost rotten.
Ruan Qingqing not only bought Li Yulian a pair of fine cloth clothes and pants, but also bought two undershirts and vests for Ruan Hongfa, and spent all the money in the bag.
"Milk, buy these for you and your grandfather for the time being, and then I will buy them for you when I save my pocket money in the future."
Li Yulian snorted, but from her expression, she could see that she was eating this in her heart.
Ruan Xiuxiu, who served as a foil throughout the whole process, was red and jealous.
Obviously about the same age, she worked hard to save ten yuan, and asked Mao Xingquan to help harvest the bud valley and spent half of it. And Ruan lightly could spend seventy or eighty casually, without blinking his eyes.
Taking advantage of Li Yulian's happiness, Ruan gently proposed to have a meal together as a family in the evening to celebrate Ruan Xiuxiu's admission to university.
Li Yulian naturally would not refuse such a good thing, but Ruan Xiuxiu instinctively felt confused and uneasy.
Obviously, I quarreled with her a few days ago and asked her to return things, but today her attitude has changed 180 degrees and she takes the initiative to celebrate her.
She intuitively felt that Ruan Qingqing was not at ease, but she couldn't figure out what medicine was being sold in Ruan Qingqing's gourd.
This feeling of powerlessness, knowing that the other party had bad intentions, but there was nothing to be done, made Ruan Xiuxiu sit still all afternoon.
In the evening, they had dinner at a newly opened private restaurant near Ruan's house, and the two families happened to sit at the same table.
During the banquet, after Ruan Jiaming got up to go to the toilet, Ruan gently also took the opportunity to get up and walk towards the toilet.
Ruan Xiuxiu, who had been paying attention to Ruan lightly throughout the whole process, felt strange inexplicably when she saw this scene, at this moment, the waiter brought a large pot of boiled fish to the table, and the fragrance of sesame chili instantly attracted everyone's attention, including Ruan Xiuxiu.
"Jiaming."
After Ruan Jiaming came out of the toilet, Ruan Qingqing, who was waiting outside the toilet door, immediately called out to the other party.
"What's the matter, hurry up, I haven't eaten yet."
Li Yulian has always disliked Ruan Qingqing, and under the influence of her ears, Ruan Jiaming has no respect for Ruan Qingqing's cousin, and when she sees Ruan Qingqing, he doesn't call her sister, but looks impatient.
