The next day, Zhao Ke and Yu Xiulan sent Zhao Mian to the commune.

went to the provincial capital to study with Zhao Mian, as well as Xiaowen, and she also won the opportunity for training.

As soon as the two families met at the site, Xiaowen's parents warmly greeted Zhao Ke's family, and praised Zhao Ke and Zhao Mian to Yu Xiulan.

Yu Xiulan smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and her mouth was still modest: "No, no, it's not so good......"

Then she praised Xiaowen for being warm and cheerful, she liked it very much.

Parents on both sides tout each other.

And Xiaowen is indeed very cheerful, full of hope for going to the provincial capital, and there is no reluctance on his face.

Her parents were worried about this and that, and said that she had a "big heart", and asked Zhao Mian to take care of her.

Yu Xiulan directly agreed for Zhao Mian, and Zhao Mian stood beside her and nodded with a smile.

And Xiaowen turned his head and whispered to Zhao Ke: "Before, they urged me to hurry up and find a good partner, knowing that I was going to fight for the opportunity to go to the provincial city for training, but they always hit me, saying that I didn't have that ability, and I had nothing to do, and when I went to the training was really settled, I changed my words again, and asked me to try to stay in the provincial city and find a provincial city object, and they had a light on their faces...... You see, how fickle. ”

Zhao Ke replied to her in a low voice: "The elders are like this, you can study with my sister more, and you can see more fickle." ”

Xiaowen tilted her head, held her arm, and said affectionately: "I don't like to think so much, but what you say is definitely good for me, I listen to you." ”

Zhao Ke patted her ear-length short hair, "It's almost time to leave, your parents must have something to say to you, don't rub it with me." ”

The two families were separated, each speaking separately.

Yu Xiulan was reluctant to give up on Zhao Mian, pulling her to constantly advise, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to talking and doing things, she wanted to stuff everything into her.

Zhao Mian listened patiently and agreed one by one.

Yu Xiulan said, "If you have a suitable partner, don't take care of your family, I think that comrade Fang is very good." ”

Zhao Mian's cheeks were slightly red, "Mom, I know it in my heart." ”

Yu Xiulan wanted to say something, but Zhao Ke interrupted, "Sister, get in the car, just be happy, don't listen to your mother." ”

The passenger car stopped on the side of the road, and the conductor and driver greeted Zhao Ke.

Yu Xiulan Bai Zhao Ke, "Outside, I'll save you some face." ”

"Thank you."

Zhao Ke whispered back to her while waving at the conductor and driver with a smile.

really wanted to get in the car, Xiaowen finally had a sad parting, and reluctantly hugged his parents and didn't let go.

"Let's get in the car."

Yu Xiulan urged, and her hand also grabbed Zhao Mian's hand tightly.

Zhao Ke stood beside her and didn't urge.

After a while, Yu Xiulan let go of Zhao Mian's hand and pushed her into the car, "Let's go......"

Zhao Mian and Xiaowen stepped into the car step back, put down their things, and reluctantly leaned out of the window without sitting down their buttocks.

Yu Xiulan grabbed Zhao Mian's hand again through the window, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Mian could still control it, but when she was infected, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she waved at her mother and sister outside the car, "Mom, Xiao Ke, I will take care of myself, I will come back with my father during the New Year, you take care of your health." ”

Yu Xiulan choked up: "Eh~"

Zhao Feng left, she didn't lose control so much.

Zhao Ke hugged his mother's shoulder, raised his head and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry, my mother and I won't have anything to do at home, I will take care of my mother's ......"

Yu Xiulan sniffed and didn't forget to turn around and bury Zhao Ke: "You still take care of me, who will take care of whom, cook for the pigs and the pigs won't eat!" ”

Zhao Ke: "......"

Zhao Mian burst into tears and smiled, the glittering water in her eyes was extremely moving, and the people who saw her off couldn't help but look at her.

The bus drove away slowly, and Yu Xiulan chased two steps forward before stopping and complaining to Zhao Ke: "Since you became the women's director, how many people have we sent away?" You're like a funnel, you can't hold anything around. ”

Zhao Ke is also reluctant to let her sister go, but she hopes that her sister can see more of the world and live a life that belongs to Zhao Mian.

She diverted her mother's attention, "It's thanks to me that I saw it, I'm broad-minded and not jealous, if Zhao Feng sees you treating you so differently, how sad he will be." ”

"That's a heartless thing, too, he can't wait to put on his wings and fly out, I don't see how sad he is."

Zhao Ke was a little surprised by her attitude, "My sister will go for half a year, and it's not that she won't come back, Zhao Feng just leaves and doesn't know when she will come back." ”

Yu Xiulan was silent for a moment and said, "But I always feel that as soon as your sister leaves, she doesn't know when she will come back." ”

"Then you're still pushing her to find a partner?"

"Everyone has lived like this, if you don't follow the crowd, you will suffer more gossip, and it will be more difficult than others, I am a mother, can I bear it?"

Zhao Ke said: "When, there are people who live a different life from others, the road is walked out by people, the front extends in all directions, not a road to the dark, who will judge right and wrong?" ”

"Crooked."

"I'm inclusive."

Some people have good wives and mothers, some people walk lonely, some people sew and mend, and some people break the world...... The world is so big, why can't we live in harmony?

If it is difficult to be compatible...... "If my sister can let people see her efforts, if she can become the technical backbone of the factory like Master Yu, whether she will come back or not in the future, at least in the bearing factory of Shuangshan Commune, there will be more people who recognize the efforts and abilities of the female workers." ”

That's how change comes step by step.

Her sister will not only be a good wife, she will have more possibilities, but she can also hold an umbrella for young lesbians like Master Yu and bring more opportunities to lesbians.

Yu Xiulan said that she couldn't help her, even if she had been supporting her daughters in action, she still planned to beat her out of anger.

At this time, Xiaowen's parents came to say goodbye to them, which happened to interrupt the emotional exchange between mother and daughter.

"Teacher Yu, will you two come to my house and sit for a while?"

Yu Xiulan politely refused: "No, no, we will go back to the brigade after finishing our work in a while, and we will have the opportunity to designate a visit in the future." ”

After the two families separated, Zhao Ke took the opportunity to say: "Let's go to the bearing factory to call grandma first and ask them when they bought the train ticket." ”

This is something that has always been on her mind, Yu Xiulan got off the donkey, and her emotions immediately turned around, urging her to go.

The two of them went to the bearing factory and called Zhao Ke's second uncle Yu Xiumin's troops.

After waiting for a while, Grandma Liu Nier called back, and a loud voice came through the phone, "Xiulan, your brother has booked a train ticket for my mother at half past nine on the tenth day, two days and one night to the provincial capital, stay in the provincial capital for one night at night, take the morning train to the city the next day, and then take the bus." ”

Zhao Ke took the time and lip-synched: "I can't drive a tractor to the county seat, I can't pull it, let's pick it up in the commune." ”

Yu Xiulan nodded and said into the microphone: "Jianguo and Xiaomian are both in the provincial capital, and when you get off the train, they will look for you." Did you buy a train ticket from the provincial capital to the city? If you don't buy it, don't buy it yet, let them take you around the provincial capital. ”

Liu Nier said: "I didn't buy the ticket, I plan to buy it there again, why did Xiaomian go to the provincial capital?" ”

Yu Xiulan said proudly: "She went to the main factory for training for half a year, and when she came back, she could increase her salary." ”

When Liu Nier heard this, her smug tone was the same as Yu Xiulan's, "Eh, our Xiaomian is really capable, it's important to get down to business, don't let them waste money, let's deal with it casually and leave overnight." ”

"That's not going to work." Yu Xiulan resolutely objected, "They also let you lead the child to deal with it for a night in the provincial capital, where do you put your face?" How unfilial are we? It must be arranged. ”

The old lady's hearty laughter came through the microphone, as if she deliberately let everyone hear, and said loudly: "Look at you, what are you doing with that money, and you have to arrange for us, okay, okay, I won't fight with you." ”

Yu Xiulan talked about picking her up: "Didn't Zhao Ke originally say that he wanted to drive a tractor to the county seat to pick you up, the commune took the lead in building a big cooperative, bought a lot of agricultural machinery to open up the wasteland together, and the four-wheeled tractors of our brigade also had to go over, and the walk-behind tractors had work in the village, so it was not good to leave for a long time, so I could only drive to the commune to pick you up." ”

Liu Nier didn't care, "The collective matter is important, if we can't get busy, we can find an ox cart to go back." ”

Zhao Ke approached the microphone and answered: "I still have to pick it up when I go to the commune, no matter how busy I am, I won't be able to spare this little time." ”

Liu Nier smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can arrange it." ”

Yu Xiulan deliberately mentioned that Zhao Ke became the vice president of the commune cooperative.

The old lady was happy and praised Zhao Ke a few words.

Every minute costs money, and the mother and daughter are reluctant to spend money, so they can't stop the phone unsatisfied.

Zhao Ke hung up the phone to Ding Xiaohui again, and made sure that the registration was completed, so he went to the post office to send the letter.

Soldiers' family homes –

Grandma Liu Nier is full of acquaintances, walking and stopping all the way, chatting for a while when she touches someone, basically showing off her granddaughter.

When she walked near her home, she saw her daughter-in-law Song Qing's mother carrying a kettle, watering flowers elegantly, and talking to the daughter-in-law of the political commissar of the neighbor's regiment with a smile on her face.

The daughter-in-law of the political commissar of the regiment is also a scholar, has a good relationship with Song Qing, and gets along with Liu Nier in general.

This is average, or because Liu Nier never says that her daughter-in-law is not, she smiles and welcomes everyone when she is outside, and people at most think that she is from the countryside, and she doesn't like anything else.

And Liu Nier didn't like her daughter-in-law's mother very much, but she wouldn't let outsiders see the jokes, so Lao Yuan'er greeted Song Qing's mother: "Mother-in-law, the sun is so poisonous, don't bask in the sun, I'll move the flowers to the shade of the house for you." ”

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

No matter how much Song Qing's mother has an opinion in her heart, she has to speak well, "Xiumin's mother, it's troublesome to move around, just put it here, I'm done." ”

The political commissar's daughter-in-law asked, "Auntie, have you finished the call?" ”

Song Qing's mother looked at Liu Nier with concern.

"It's over." Liu Nier's face was full of spring breeze, "My daughter and granddaughter asked me when to buy the train ticket, it just so happened that my son-in-law was studying in a big hospital in the provincial capital, and my eldest granddaughter also went to the provincial capital for training, and I wanted to arrange for our mother to play in the provincial capital for a few days, I said not to waste money, my daughter didn't do it, so I had to arrange." ”

The political commissar's daughter-in-law glanced at Song Qing's mother and said, "Your daughter and son-in-law are really filial, do you say that the eldest granddaughter is the one who is in the newspaper?" ”

"No, my eldest granddaughter works in the bearing factory, and the child is down-to-earth, so he will not get the opportunity to go to the provincial capital factory for further study."

When the political commissar's daughter-in-law heard this, she sighed: "The eldest granddaughter is a worker, the second granddaughter has a column in the "Capital Newspaper", and the grandson is also a soldier. ”

Liu Nier is proud: "My daughter-in-law and son-in-law will teach children." ”

Song Qing's mother's expression was a little stiff.

Liu Nier didn't stay in the family yard of the army, and she had to go back to the countryside where birds don't, didn't she think her daughter wouldn't teach children?

She felt that Liu Nier's words were yin and yang.

Next door, the political commissar's daughter-in-law asked Liu Nier again: "Auntie, do you really want to go back to the countryside?" We have a canteen, a school, and a hospital here, so it's so inconvenient in the countryside. ”

Liu Nier showed off in a high-profile manner: "Our village is building a school, it is all bricks, we need to install double-layer glass, and there are earth dragons, the dolls are not cold in class in winter, and the teachers are also educated young people, and they are not bad at school; There is no hospital in the village, but there is my son-in-law, who is studying in a big hospital in the provincial capital, and he can see ordinary diseases. ”

Song Qing's mother: "......"

Knowing that her son-in-law is studying in a big hospital, do you need to say it over and over again? My son-in-law is still a company commander.

Liu Nier made up her mind to show off, and mentioned eating, "Although there is no canteen in the village, there is no delay in growing vegetables and raising chickens, and the pig farm of our brigade also raises more than 100 pigs, so we will definitely not lose the children's mouths." ”

Many of the family members came to the countryside, and the daughter-in-law of the political commissar often heard men mention the situation of their soldiers in the countryside.

The political commissar's daughter-in-law is not good at what to say.

And Liu Nier looked at Song Qing's mother and said with a smile: "No matter how big an official Xiumin is, he is a rural baby, and Zhao Cun'er's brigade is his root, people can't forget their roots, why can't Xiumin's children go back to see?" ”：，n..，.
