Space: 60's Survival

11

 Two days later, a young and beautiful woman came to Lu Jinzhi's house. A red sweater on the upper body, a thick black tweed skirt on the bottom, a white wool coat over it, and a pair of short leather boots on her feet, Lu Jinzhi's sister-in-law Xu Jing held a cup of tea in front of the young woman and greeted warmly: "Miao Miao, drink water, is it cold outside!" Miao Miao smiled at Xu Jing: "It's not cold, I came here by car, and the driver took me to the door, did you want to go out?"

"Yes! Those brothers had to drag him out to sit, but he should be back soon. You wait for him for a while and eat at home, I will ask Mrs. Zhang to add a dish." "No, I eat very little at night, you guys Eat it, I'll wait for him."

Miao Miao glanced at Xu Jing, took a sip of water, and opened her mouth slowly: "Actually, wouldn't it be good to stay in City B, family relationship, grow up together My big friends are all in City B, and in the poor place I go to now, I don't want anything, and my uncle doesn't persuade him."

Xu Jing's face stiffened, and she said in her heart, "I'm just a daughter-in-law, how can I manage these things." There was still a smile on his face: "I should have my own thoughts. I'm just a sister-in-law. Now, if you're going to do business, you should get ready. I, the eldest sister-in-law, have to prepare the congratulations in advance." It was Miao Miao's turn with a stiff face, and she said with a bit of shyness: "I'm still young, I want to work hard for a few more years in my career and make some achievements. Sister Xu, have you seen «White-Haired Girl»? Now I am the number one girl." 

Sister Xu murmured: I will wait a few more years , How old is the uncle to get married. Sister-in-law Xu persuaded again: "Jinzhi's age is not too young. Everyone similar to him is married, and some children can leave." Some disagreed, she felt that a man who loved her should be willing to make sacrifices for himself. When the two of them were about to stop talking, Lu Jinzhi came back. Xu Jing quickly gave up her seat, and slipped away using the excuse of shopping for food.

And a less pleasant conversation began. Miao Miao glanced at Lu Jin angrily: "Jinzhi, you asked Sister-in-law Xu to rush me? We'll talk about it ourselves in the future, don't let an outsider to spread the word, it's not good." Lu Jinzhi just said lightly: "No, You misunderstood." When Miao Miao heard this, she was a little embarrassed, and turned to smile and said, "Now I'm almost promoted to female No. 1. I've been very busy recently, and I have to rehearse every day. When you are free, come and see me. Dancing. Oh! I also brought some tickets, you can come with your uncle and aunt. If you don't come, I'm going to X province next week. We're going to perform there." The tickets were taken out.

Lu Jinzhi looked at the tickets, then looked at Miao Miao: "Since you are here today, let's talk about it. Our family wants to get married sooner." After speaking, Lu Jinzhi stared at him closely. Miao Miao. Seeing that Miao Miao felt a little guilty, she lowered her head and thought for a while before asking, "Lu Jinzhi, do you love me?" Lu Jinzhi was silent, and after a while, he said, "What do you think of love? Two years ago, Your family proposed to get married two years later, and I agreed. I accommodated you once. Now, if you still need me to accommodate you, I'm sorry, I can't."

Miao Miao stood up from the chair at once: "Lu Jinzhi , I don't feel love here with you, you are always a calm look. Do you want to get married now because you love me? No, you are looking for someone who can help you take care of your family and take care of me Your parents' nanny. Oh! Probably a fertility machine that can help you pass on your family. I tell you, it's impossible. I, Miao Miao, are a new-age woman and definitely not like those housewives , revolving around the family, around the man, around the child. I have already thought about it clearly, if I have a child, it will be discussed after I am 28 years old. I am an actor, a dancer, I will not Ruining my career for having a child." Miao Miao's eyes were full of anger, and her beautiful face was a little distorted with anger. Lu Jinzhi stood up slowly: "I don't think what I'm looking for is a nanny, I agree that women should have their own careers, but a successful woman should be able to balance the relationship between family members, obviously, you can't. "

Miao Miao sneered: "Aren't you dissatisfied with me because I didn't take care of my aunt when she was hospitalized last time? But I sent a gift there, and I'm also very busy, and I don't care about things like taking care of patients. I can do it." Lu

Jinzhi 's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at Miao Miao's face and said word by word, "My mother never mentioned this to me." But there is a faint sense of relief. In fact, Miao Miao has been playing with several brothers in the compound since she was a child, but those boys always disliked her as a little girl, and sometimes let her stand aside and watch. She is restless and likes to get together, so they let Lu Jinzhi, who is quiet, look at her and prevent her from making trouble. Later, she became Lu Jinzhi's sidekick. Lu Jinzhi has not been very close to people since he was a child, and he can't speak a few words with her. She babbles non-stop, and Lu Jinzhi listens silently, not knowing whether he has heard it or not.

Later, everyone thought that they had a good relationship, and the two adults made a marriage agreement for them, although it was a verbal agreement. After that, I went to school, work, and contact less and less. When she was a little older, she understood one thing. At that time, the family decided Lu Jinzhi for her because of the relationship with the old man of the Lu family. The family wanted to maintain a closer relationship with the Lu family, so it was decided in a hurry. From then on, Miao Miao rejected this marriage from her heart. During the later interaction, the two got along with each other in a friendly way, which was far from the beautiful love that Miao Miao expected. Miao Miao was even more reluctant to marry Lu Jinzhi in her heart, although everyone envied her for marrying Lu Jinzhi.

In such a new year, big news broke out in the compound—the marriage between the Lu family and the Miao family fell through. Later, the two came out to refute the rumor, only saying that the two deceased old men joked in private and that the engagement was a misinformation. The few people who understand it know that the two families are completely over. The previous political discord and occasional friction caused cracks in the relationship between the two families. The marriage of the children was the last straw.

This year, the number of people visiting the Lu family for New Year's greetings is only a lot more than in previous years. Annoying Lu Jinzhi so much that he packed his bags and returned to Lin'an Town on the sixth day of the new year.

While arranging things for her son, Zhang Qiao complained: "Tell me, what's the use of raising my son, raising an older one, becoming a soldier, and an older one will not go home for the New Year's Eve. Having raised a younger one, I stayed there for a while. The sky is about to leave, and the New Year is not over, there is no one at home." Sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Lu Xinian listened to his old wife's nagging, and said in his heart: I am not a human being! But after getting along for many years, Chief of Staff Lu understood one thing, just give an ear when his wife is nagging.

Sure enough, Zhang Qiao folded a newly knitted sweater for her son in her hand, and said in her mouth: "If only I had a daughter back then, they all say that the daughter is my mother's little padded jacket. Look at how caring the little girl at Director Fang's house next door is. This son is all in debt! Do you think so?" After waiting for a while, he didn't hear his wife's answer, he turned his head and stared at his old man: "Why didn't you respond when I talked to you?" Chief Lu sighed inwardly: "You Do you mean to have another one?" This sentence made Zhang Qiao's face blushed, and said angrily: "I'm not serious enough to have a child at any age, and besides, if I have another debt collector, I can't Makes me mad." Chief Lu said in his heart: After a long time, it was all nonsense, so he quickly changed the subject: "Bring him some bacon or something made at home." Zhang Qiao also changed her mind when she heard this, and hurriedly went to the kitchen Went for the bacon. Lu Xinian had two sons, the eldest son went to serve in the army, and the younger son read books well, and after graduating from college, he went to the grassroots to exercise. Lu Xinian was strict with his eldest son, but he was much gentler with his younger son. He was probably an old man, so he was always partial. In addition, Lu Xinian felt that the younger son was more like him. Expect more from this son.

When Lu Jinzhi saw a large package, the expression on his face was indescribably strange: "Mom, I don't need to bring so many things." "Whatever you don't need to bring, it's all useful. This is a sweater knitted for you. You can wear it in spring; here are a pair of leather shoes, bought according to your size; and two sets of clothes, which my mother made for you; this package is meat, that package is home-cured duck eggs, and this envelope contains National food stamps, industrial stamps, oil stamps, you put them away. And I asked your sister-in-law to prepare some common medicines, and put them in for you."

Listening to his mother's words, Lu Jinzhi was moved and a little sad, he pulled Zhang Qiao to sit down and comforted: "Don't be busy, I'm so old, I can take care of myself, you don't have to think about me, you are here Take good care of yourself at home, and remember to tell me if you have anything." Zhang Qiao comforted Lu Jinzhi in turn: "I have something to do, I have something to call your dad, take care of yourself, and mom will be happy." Lu Xinian listened to this sentence Then, let's smash the taste carefully, um, I understand, my status is lower than my son. Seeing the deep love between the two mothers and sons, Chief of Staff Lu said: "Okay, let the son go quickly, please, drive slower on the road."

Lu Jinzhi bid farewell to his parents and sister-in-law and rushed back to Lin'an Town.

Tong Yan in Lin'an Town was alone in the empty yard. The people in this yard are all migrant workers from the countryside. Men find temporary workers, women do odd jobs. Only those with a little skill can do formal work. For example: Uncle Cao can drive and is a regular worker, Uncle He can repair machines and is also a regular worker. Although the yard with no one is lonely, it is also good for Tong Yan. She can take out the things in the space and cook the food she likes to her heart's content. Tong Yan's level is to cook a home-cooked dish, there is no recipe in the space, she can only figure it out by herself, and the days of messing around alone pass quickly.

On this day, I gave New Year's greetings to Sister Li. Tong Yan was on her way home. She wanted to go shopping in the store, but unfortunately the store has not yet opened. Tong Yan secretly laughed at herself stupid, this is not the future, the store is open 365 days a year. The town is quite lively, and people who come and go are visiting relatives with things. A few naughty children set off firecrackers on the street, dismantling a string of firecrackers into one by one, and children like to set off such small firecrackers. Tong Yan was most afraid of this, and avoided it all the way. Suddenly I saw a jeep driving by. In such a town, there is a jeep that is as eye-catching as the later Maserati. Tong Yan came from later generations, so naturally she wouldn't care about this. Tong Yan didn't see the people in the car, but the people in the car saw Tong Yan, and what she thought was-that little girl who can eat. If Tong Yan knew about it, she would be wronged. The one who ate the most dishes at that table was Ji Ning.

Three days later, people in the yard came back one after another. Sister-in-law Tian brought a package of food to Tong Yan and opened the package, which were all special products of the farm. In fact, Tong Yan really likes these things, although they are not exquisite, they have a unique flavor. Uncle Cao also brought Tong Yan some homemade cured meat. Uncle Cao took the salary, and took advantage of the car to earn some extra money, and the life at home was quite comfortable. The wine was sold a few times a few years ago, and the returns were rich, so naturally I would not be stingy.

A few days after the factory opened, the school also started. With two less people in the class, Tong Yan felt a little sad when she knew that some of her classmates had dropped out. The most uncomfortable is Mr. Hu and Principal Qian. Mr. Hu stood on the podium and said earnestly to everyone: "I really hope that your class will still have so many people when you graduate. The students who are sitting here, please cherish it!" Principal Qian stood at the door of the classroom, a moment Without saying a word, there was a lot of white hair on his head, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, showing a bit of old age.

After receiving the book, everyone was ready to leave. Ji Ning left Tong Yan behind, and mysteriously took out something from her bag—a pair of gloves. Still knitted with wool. Ji Ning handed the gloves to Tong Yan: "I knitted it myself, see if you like it or not." Tong Yan looked at the craft, and it really wasn't that great. Ji Ning probably noticed it too, and felt a little embarrassed: "I just learned to knit during the holidays. I gave my mother the first pair of knitting, and the second pair for you. Don't have no conscience!" Tong Yan quickly nodded. , said he liked it.

Li Fangfang took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "I made this, you can take it, my craft is much better than Ji Ning." Ji Ning was so angry that he hammered Li Fangfang twice, "To make a handkerchief, just Just lock the side, you are still chatting with me." Tong Yan couldn't even straighten her back with a smile.

Wang Li handed over a lunch box, and Tong Yan opened it and saw that it was a pancake made of white flour. "It's the jujube cake made by my family. My mother put a lot of sugar in it, but it's sweet." Tong Yan knew in her heart that white noodles and sugar are precious things, and Wang Li's family definitely gave her the best things. Tong Yan took Wang Li's hand gratefully: "I like jujube stuffed the most, thank you, and thank auntie for me." Ji Ning felt the same way: "During the Chinese New Year, my mother made jujube stuffed dumplings, so I made this Stuffing is the most troublesome." Tong Yan looked at the smiling faces and kept these friendships firmly in her heart. In the future, the mountains and rivers will be long, only the friendship will remain unchanged.

The next day, Tong Yan and the others were about to go to class when two people came to the door of the classroom. One Tong Yan knew - Gao Yue, and the other boy had not met. Gao Yue saw Tong Yan, took the boy to Tong Yan, and said to the boy, "This is Tong Yan." Tong Yan looked at Gao Yue inexplicably. The boy bowed to Tong Yan seriously: "Thank you!" Tong Yan couldn't understand, where did this thank you come from?

Gao Yue said with a smile on his face: "Sister, you are a real person. I heard that you donated the scholarship? The money you donated will be used for him, otherwise, this guy will have to go home to farm this semester. Now." Tong Yan suddenly realized, and turned to smile. The news was thrown into the water like a stone, and layers of water were exploded. Everyone was talking, looking at Tong Yan's eyes full of admiration. Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, and quickly sent Gao Yue and the boy away.

Mr. Hu entered the class and happened to see this scene. He deliberately recounted the incident from beginning to end before the class, and said with relief: "I am proud of being able to teach such excellent students, I hope we can There will be more students like this in the class." I don't know who led the way, and the class burst into applause for a while. Of course not everyone thinks that way.

Seeing the spring ploughing season, Mrs. Tian left behind small beans and went home to help farm the land. Uncle He sent Douzi to school in the morning, but before he could pick him up in the evening, he asked Xiaodouzi to come back with his classmates. When I got home and waited for Tong Yan to finish school, I asked Tong Yan to help take care of Xiaodouzi.

Tong Yan likes Xiaodouzi, so she naturally agrees. Xiaodouzi is not willing to go back to her own house to improve her meals here. Zhang Lanlan next door also went home, leaving Qiuni to take care of Dongbao. Since Qiuni was found stealing, Zhang Lanlan asked Qiuni to move to the house to sleep, and Qiuni rarely appeared in front of everyone. After a new year, Qiuni has grown a little taller, and her clothes and trousers have become too small. An ankle is exposed and it turns blue from the cold. With candy in her mouth, Xiaodouzi was playing marbles in the yard. Seeing Qiuni's vicious eyes, she ran back to Tong Yan's house in fright, pulling Tong Yan's sleeve and complaining. Tong Yan frowned slightly, but she couldn't do anything to a little girl, she could only keep Xiaodouzi away from Qiuni.
