Even if the snack and beverage area is finished, Zhou Yunmeng walked out of the supermarket.

She sat down at the desk again, not feeling hot, and calmly transcribing the article, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth raised.

Zhou Yunmeng also went out halfway to pour a glass of water, and came back to the room to continue.

Mother Lin had already gone out of the alley with Xiaomi in her arms and came back, and it was strange to see the third daughter-in-law obviously happier than usual.

The mothers-in-law outside began to compare the third daughter-in-law with Han Chuan's daughter-in-law again, and the words they said were those over and over again, and they didn't sound good.

Why is the third daughter-in-law still in a good mood?

It's like this thing that doesn't follow the army, or the third daughter-in-law asked her to talk to those mothers-in-law.

Mother Lin shook her head and didn't understand, forget it, the third daughter-in-law is happy.

She put Millet back in the house and let her play on the bed by herself, pillows and quilts around the bed to prevent her from falling, and then went to the kitchen to make lunch.

"Mother, I'm leaving."

"Hey, be careful on the road."

After Zhou Yunmeng said hello to Mother Lin, he rode his bicycle to the county seat.

Before Lin Jinping came back, she had just been to the county seat.

He stayed at home for nearly ten days and then returned to the army, and he rested at home for a few more days, and it was time to go to the county seat.

In the past half a month, Zhou's mother opened a small stove for her and cooked sesame black bean broth twice.

Because Lin Jinping was at home, the meal was a little richer, and the fish and meat that were barely enough had already been consumed, and even the eggs he had saved before had been eaten.

Now there are three chickens in the family, laying three eggs a day, and boiling egg custard to supplement nutrition for the four children in the family and her.

Zhou Yunmeng has also saved two manuscripts in the past few days, and they happened to be sent to the post office.

Post office.

Xu Xiaoying saw her and greeted her with a smile: "Yunmeng, you are here." ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded and handed her the two envelopes to be mailed, one to be sent to the Youth Story Magazine and the other to the army.

Lin Jinping left a letter for her before leaving, she slept that night with a stove next to her, there was no endless heat coming, she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she didn't fall asleep for a while.

Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and sat at his desk, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a reply to Lin Jinping.

Calculating the time, it has been several days since he arrived in the army, and it will be a few more days after receiving the reply, and it will be nearly ten days apart, which is also appropriate.

Xu Xiaoying took it, and smiled when she saw the letter sent to the army, she knew that Yunmeng and her lover had a good relationship, so she directly put up the stamp and postmarked.

Then dispose of another envelope.

Xu Xiaoying's hands kept moving, and asked jokingly: "Hey Yunmeng, why do I feel that the envelope is a little thinner this time, you shouldn't be lazy, right?" ”

She often helps Yun Meng deal with these manuscripts, and once before it was as thick as a brick, and usually less than two fingers thick, unlike today, which is only less than a finger.

Since Yun Meng saved up the manuscript and mailed it every half a month, he had never seen so little.

The two are good friends, and it's okay to ask about it.

Zhou Yunmeng smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Xiaoying, I didn't mean to be lazy, it just so happened that my man came back from the army and lived at home for almost ten days, so I should rest." When he returned to the army, I wrote two articles and sent them to the magazine first. ”

Xu Xiaoying suddenly showed a knowing smile: "I understand, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the matter of writing is slow and not in a hurry." ”

She thought of the letter she had just sent to the troops, and couldn't help but sigh, she sent a letter to the troops just a few days after they were separated, Yun Meng was really worried about her man this time.

Like before, I wouldn't say things like "my man".

Seeing that Xu Xiaoying had stamped the postmark, Zhou Yunmeng gave her the money by mail, and the two of them skillfully exchanged two catties of meat with the help of the bamboo back basket.

Zhou Yunmeng took out a plate of chocolate from her clothes pocket and gave it to her, which was taken on the shelf of "Memories of Hours".

In order to highly restore the style of the times, even the production date is pasted separately on small square white paper, which can be torn off with a light buckle without leaving traces.

It's convenient for her.

"Xiaoying, I'll give you a plate of chocolate to eat."

"Wow, thank you Yunmeng, you're so good to me."

Xu Xiaoying took it in surprise, not to mention that the chocolate was expensive and difficult to buy, and the supply and marketing cooperatives sold it short as soon as it arrived.

She had only eaten it once, and it was given to her cousin who worked as an officer in the propaganda section of the textile factory. After that, I saved up money and wanted to buy another piece to come back and try it, but I didn't get it after a few trips.

Having a piece of chocolate is already very good, Yun Meng actually got a plate for her at once, and it can be broken into six small pieces.

She guessed that Yun Meng should have a way to get such a large plate of chocolate for her, or that her man brought it back from outside.

No matter what, Yunmeng is very kind to her friend.

Xu Xiaoying put away the chocolate, remembering that autumn was about to enter recently, she took the initiative to ask: "Hey Yunmeng, do you want to make autumn clothes?" Let me help you ask if there are any of those beautiful fabrics? ”

Zhou Yunmeng has changed her mind now, thinking that it is not bad to add a new autumn coat, and she doesn't like the ready-to-wear clothes sold in the department store very much, so it is good to buy the fabric and go back to make it.

She smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you can help ask Xiaoying, and I'll give you how much money I will give you later." ”

"Xiaoying, you can help me ask again, if there are those dark blue and earthy gray fabrics from last year, I want to make one for my mother and mother-in-law."

There are a lot of fabrics for the three autumn clothes, and the textile factory workers get those defective cloths, all of which are close to their families and relatives, after all, there are many people who want to add new clothes in the autumn, and then there are many to take out and change.

But Yun Meng was so good to her, Xu Xiaoying still responded: "Okay, Yun Meng, you wait, if there is a suitable one, I will tell you." ”

sighed again, "You are so good to your mother and mother-in-law, I remember that I just made padded jackets for them last year, right?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng nodded: "Yes, my mother and my mother-in-law are very good to me." ”

"They were reluctant to make clothes before, and they couldn't save so many cloth tickets, and it was difficult to buy fabrics. Now with Xiaoying's help, I can have the opportunity to make autumn clothes for them. ”

Zhou's mother had nothing to say to her, and she loved her daughter. Mother Lin is too, as soon as she gets up on weekdays, she hurriedly runs to the kitchen to heat her breakfast, and she cooks three meals a day at home.

In the past six months, since I knew that she loved to sleep with the sheets and pillowcases that she loved to sleep in, I opened her every once in a while to wash, dried them and took them back to her room to lay them out, and everything was taken care of.

It can be said that her comfortable and comfortable life is inseparable from Mother Lin's dedication, and it is just right to make an autumn coat to thank Mother Lin.

Xu Xiaoying nodded to show that she understood, and talked about her own affairs, there is always friction when living with her mother-in-law.

She revealed: "My man has long applied for a house allocation with the unit, and I heard that there is going to be news recently, even if it is about 20 square meters, we will be much more comfortable living as a couple." ”

They are dual-income workers, even if they give a little to their in-laws, the salary ticket is absolutely enough.

Zhou Yunmeng was happy for her: "This is great, I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Xu Xiaoying nodded with a smile, and said: "We have all started to save up those industrial coupons or something recently, if we want to move to a new house at that time, just the pots and pans to buy in the kitchen are enough to make people's heads big, these are not easy to buy." ”

The supply and marketing cooperatives want industrial coupons, and they are not easy to buy, and they may not be able to buy them every time they get the news.

Nothing else can help, Zhou Yunmeng only said: "If the house is divided in the future, you can tell me, and I will ask my classmate to help buy the iron pot, it is not much expensive." ”

Xu Xiaoying was overjoyed when she heard it: "Okay, I will definitely tell you when the time comes, thank you Yunmeng first." ”

Yun Meng didn't say anything else, and mentioned the iron pot alone, which must have been a success. The iron pot is difficult to buy, and two industrial coupons are required, Yunmeng deliberately said that it is not much more expensive, it must be more cost-effective than two industrial coupons.

These two industrial coupons were saved, and they could be used to buy other things, and Xu Xiaoying suddenly felt that the pressure of saving tickets was much easier.

Recently, she also went back to her parents' house to explain her help, and paid attention to the exchange of industrial vouchers.

Zhou Yunmeng chatted with her for a while before leaving the post office on his bicycle and going to Rao Xiaoqing's house.

Last time, she and Lin Jinping went to Rao Xiaoqing's mother-in-law's house to get meat, and her mother-in-law said that Rao Xiaoqing was resting today, so that Zhou Yunmeng could come to her to play when he was free.

When she arrived at Rao Xiaoqing's house, she was alone today, and her in-laws and husband went to work.

Rao Xiaoqing was also happy to see Zhou Yunmeng: "Yunmeng, you are here, I still thought that if I can't wait for you to come in the morning, I will go to your house to find you in the afternoon." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled: "I also remembered that you were resting, so I specially chose to come over today." ”

Rao Xiaoqing pulled Zhou Yunmeng to sit in the hall and chat, remembering the last time she saw her good friend and her husband at the gate of the factory, she couldn't help but joke.

She had just known that Yun Meng's husband was a soldier in the army, and he came back two or three times a year, and usually Yun Meng lived alone in her mother-in-law's house, and she was worried that Yun Meng would be wronged in her mother-in-law's house.

After all, it is so simple for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along.

Yun Meng told her that her mother-in-law and concubine take care of themselves, after all, they have the ability.

Rao Xiaoqing was skeptical.

But that day at the gate of the meat factory, when he and Yun Meng were talking, Yun Meng's husband stood aside with a bicycle, his eyes kept falling on Yun Meng, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were so gentle that they were not presentable.

Rao Xiaoqing was thinking at the time, no wonder Yunmeng was willing to marry him, even if he didn't see him a few times a year, the relationship between the two must be very good.

Zhou Yunmeng doesn't mind talking about these things with Rao Xiaoqing, it's easier for good friends to get closer and enhance their relationship.

Rao Xiaoqing is indeed to her taste, whether it is chatting and getting along, it is very comfortable.

Zhou Yunmeng simply picked something to say and said to her: "Every time he comes back, the next day, he will ride a bicycle to take me to the county seat to buy a lot of things, and then accompany me back to my mother's house to see my mother." ”

Rao Xiaoqing: "This is good, it shows that he respects his mother-in-law, and the most important thing is to value you, so he will buy things every time to accompany you back to your parents' house and give you a long face." There are many men who accompany their daughters-in-law back to their parents' homes on the second day of the Lunar New Year all year round. ”

Zhou Yunmeng: "On the day we went to the meat factory to find you, in fact, in addition to going to the movies, he took me to a department store earlier and bought me a light green bragi and a pair of leather shoes. ”

She didn't say this to Rao Xiaoqing that day, and deliberately mentioned it as if she was showing off, which would be appropriate.

Rao Xiaoqing: "The light green bragi and leather shoes are not cheap, he is willing to buy them for you, and he is willing to spend money on you, which shows that the two of you have a good relationship." ”

The more she listened, the happier she became: "Yunmeng, your husband really has nothing to say to you, I'm happy for you." ”

Zhou Yunmeng smiled, and listened to Rao Xiaoqing talk about her work and family.

Rao Xiaoqing said: "Yunmeng, I have discussed with my man, I am not in a hurry to have a child this year, and when I have done everything that the deputy leader of the workshop should do and stabilized, I will think about the child's affairs." ”

"My in-laws and parents are all supportive of this."

Zhou Yunmeng also supported: "Your decision is very good, anyway, you are young, and the child can want it at any time." Not long after you became the deputy leader of the workshop, you have to do things well first, and everyone will obey you, so that it will be easier in the future. ”

"And you are so young and working so hard, you will definitely be able to continue to rise in the future."

Although most meat factories will face difficulties after the reform and opening up, some have no choice but to go bankrupt, and some have the courage to reform in exchange for vigorous vitality.

With Rao Xiaoqing's steadfastness and hard work, coupled with the tempering of the past few years, there will definitely be a good way out at that time.

To a certain extent, the support from Yunmeng's good friend is definitely more effective than that of her husband, father, mother-in-law, and Rao Xiaoqing's heart is like being injected with a heart booster, and she suddenly has infinite energy.

Rao Xiaoqing: "Yunmeng, with your encouragement, my heart has settled down." Don't worry, I'm sure I'll do a good job. ”

Zhou Yunmeng took out a plate of chocolates from the pocket of her clothes and gave it to her: "Xiaoqing, this is the chocolate I specially brought to you, you can keep it as a snack and eat it." I heard that eating this can replenish your physical strength, and I wish you all the best in your work. ”

She took two plates of chocolates in the supermarket last night, planning to give them to Xu Xiaoying and Rao Xiaoqing.
