Space: 60's Survival

37

 When Zhang Lanlan saw someone grabbing Dongbao, she rushed towards the man with an "Ow" voice. The yard was even more chaotic. Qiuni struggled desperately and bit the man. The man let go because of the pain. Qiuni quickly broke free and went to rescue Dongbao. The door was blocked by the crowd, and Tong Yan couldn't go in.

In the chaos, I could hear the sound of things being smashed in the small courtyard, there were cries, there were scoldings, and there were people persuading, but such voices were quickly drowned out. Not long after, Tong Yan heard a few shrill screams, mixed with a painful cry. A person fell to the ground, eyes open, motionless, and bright red blood slowly poured out of his mouth. Everyone was startled by the accident, and everyone dispersed.

Tong Yan saw clearly that the person who fell to the ground was Zhang Lanlan. Seeing such a scene, Tong Yan was so frightened that her feet went weak, and she didn't dare to look any further. She turned around, leaned against the wall, her body softened, and she slowly slid down.

Not long after, those people left in a hurry. Everyone rushed to help and sent Zhang Lanlan to the hospital. Qiuni ran out of the yard and went to the hospital with everyone. Dongbao followed behind her sister. The clothes of the two children were torn, their hair was disheveled, and Qiuni had only one shoe on her feet, just like the little beggars on the road. Zhao Jianshe, who was standing stupidly, also stumbled and ran out after everyone's reminder.

Sister-in-law Tian walked out of the courtyard and sighed as she watched them leave. When she turned around, she saw Tong Yan sitting at the base of the wall, she was startled, and quickly helped Tong Yan up.

Until she sat in sister-in-law Tian's house and drank the water poured by sister-in-law Tian, ​​Tong Yan gradually recovered. Seeing Tong Yan calm down, Sister-in-law Tian and Tong Yan explained: Before, Qiuni was expelled from school for stealing things, so she had been taking care of Dong Bao at home and doing some housework, which was considered safe, but today a group of people came and said they wanted to fight She, Qiuni was young, so naturally she was afraid, she would run away when she was afraid, but how could she run past those people, Dongbao came to help. Zhang Lanlan also came from behind. In the chaos, someone hit Zhang Lanlan, and Zhang Lanlan fell to the ground. Sister-in-law Tian sighed, not knowing whether Zhang Lanlan could be saved. Listening to Sister-in-law Tian's ranting, Tong Yan's mind was filled with the scene of Zhang Lanlan falling to the ground.

Two hours later, Uncle Cao came back with unfortunate news-Zhang Lanlan was not rescued, and the once pungent woman was gone.

Tong Yan didn't know how she got out of the yard. She was walking on the road stupidly, and she didn't know where she was going. When she looked up, she saw Lu Jinzhi, who was standing at the door of her yard, watching. Seeing Tong Yan's lost soul, she hurried over to help her, touching her hands, it was cold, and half-holding her into the room, Tong Yan buried her head in Lu Jinzhi's arms, and didn't speak for a long time, only a drop by drop. Tears expressed their fear and distress. Lu Jinzhi knew that something big had happened, but he couldn't guess what was going on, so he had to pat her on the back lightly as a sign of comfort.

When Tong Yan came over, Lu Jinzhi's hands were sore. Tong Yan told Lu Jinzhi what happened to Mrs. Tian, ​​and Lu Jinzhi was silent. Looking at Tong Yan's pale face, Lu Jinzhi could only ask her to eat something and rest well. Tong Yan had to figure out this matter herself, that no one else could help her. Tong Yan didn't eat anything and went straight to sleep. Lu Jinzhi didn't dare to let Tong Yan sleep alone, for fear that she would have something to do, so he stayed with her all the time.

In the middle of the night, Tong Yan woke up and found that Lu Jinzhi was lying beside her, sleeping with her clothes on. Tong Yan slowly got up, put on a dress, and was silent in a daze. Tong Yan remembered the first time she had just lived in the small courtyard and met Zhang Lanlan, remembered her somewhat mean words, and remembered the disgusting things she did. Tong Yan didn't like her, and even hated her. But Tong Yan had to admit that as a mother, Zhang Lanlan was still qualified. Although she was partial to Dongbao, she also let Qiuni go to school. She likes to be petty and cheap, but it's all for her own children. When her child was in danger, she bravely rushed out to protect her child.

Tong Yan thought about these things silently, the sky gradually became white, and when Lu Jinzhi woke up, she saw Tong Yan's eyes were reddish, leaning against the wall in a daze. Lu Jinzhi reached out and touched Tong Yan's face, and asked her, "Did you sleep well last night?" Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinzhi's worried look, shook her head, and said softly, "I'm just scared, I don't know what to do. How many people will encounter these things? Why those people..." Lu Jinzhi reached out and covered Tong Yan's mouth, Tong Yan stared blankly at Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi said seriously: "Right now, the most important thing is to avoid misfortune. I know what you're thinking. It's just the beginning, maybe it will be more difficult in the future. All we can do now is to protect ourselves. Understand? Qiu Ni's matter won't end like this, after all, things have gone too far, and they should give an explanation."

Soon, Tong Yan knew what they were saying. Sister-in-law Tian and Tong Yan talked about Zhang Lanlan's affairs, and they were a little resentful: "They just came to two people and gave five yuan, saying it was the funeral expenses. Qiuni doesn't have to go to them to write an inspection, this matter. I gave it like that. What's the matter! I lost a life, so I just fooled it."

Tong Yan asked, "Zhao Jianshe agrees?" "What can I do if I don't agree! Those people are not here to make peace at all. What you discussed was Zhang Lanlan's first move. If they didn't agree, the whole family would grab it and recognize it by pinching their noses. Zhao Jianshe became more than ten years old all of a sudden, and his white hair came out. It's so pitiful. Qiuni and Dongbao cry every day at home, and the motherless child is also pitiful. These days, they are relying on the help of the neighbors and barely living. I heard that Zhao Jianshe is going to return to his hometown with his two children. I'm done, I'm not going to do any more work here. Alas! What a sin!"

Tong Yan listened silently, and before leaving, took out five yuan from her pocket and gave it to Sister-in-law Tian. Sister Tian didn't understand, and Tong Yan explained: "Anyway, I lived in a yard before, so let's just give it a little thought." Sister Tian took it and nodded: "This time everyone is a little bit of a part, it's just a matter of fact. Come back. I'll send it over."

Although it was already spring, Tong Yan didn't feel warm, she wrapped the scarf again, and slowly left the courtyard. Tong Yan was pressing things in her heart, and she was naturally in a bad mood. Li Fangfang was very happy. She came to Tong Yan and reported good news: Comrade Li Fangfang was pregnant and could be a mother in eight months. Looking at Li Fangfang's sweet smile, Tong Yan finally showed a smile.

As the first mother among the four best friends, Li Fangfang was very embarrassed. After all, the other three were not even married yet. Li Fangfang invited Wang Li and Tong Yan to go to Li Fangfang's house together, saying that they would get together while their image was still good, and that they would not go out when their belly was big. One sentence made Tong Yan laugh.

The three sat and chatted at Li Fangfang's mother's house. In front of them was the sugar water poured by Li Fangfang's mother and a small plate of melon seeds. Li Fangfang's mother likes Tong Yan very much. The last time Li Fangfang got married, Tong Yan gave the most red envelopes. Li Fangfang's mother remembered this favor. When she saw Tong Yan this time, she asked, "Listen to Fangfang, you want to get married too. Now, when are you going to do things?" Tong Yan blushed when she was asked, she only said that it was soon, she hadn't discussed the specifics with Lu Jinzhi.

Li Fangfang's mother thought about repaying the favor, so she asked, "Is it time to prepare?" Tong Yan found out that although the marriage report was approved, they had no arrangements for the future, and there was nothing to do. Do. Tong Yan secretly reviewed: She has been stimulated too deeply by Zhang Lanlan's affairs recently, and she should discuss their own affairs with Lu Jinzhi.

Li Fangfang's mother knew that Tong Yan didn't prepare anything, and kept persuading Tong Yan: "You are children after all, you are not in a hurry for such a big thing, you should buy what you should buy, the things in the supply and marketing cooperative are not You can buy whatever you want, and it's normal to be out of stock from time to time." Tong Yan nodded quickly, indicating that she had been taught. Tong Yan looked at Li Fangfang's mother, remembered something, licked her face and asked, "Auntie, I have something I want to ask you for help?" Li Fangfang's mother was also cheerful and asked what it was. Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, but she said, "Auntie is free, knit me some sweaters. There are also scarves, gloves and so on." Li Fangfang's mother agreed, and Tong Yan was happy and quickly thanked.

Two days later, Li Fangfang got a large bag of wool from Tong Yan, took it back to her mother's house, and said to her mother, "Tong Yan, you are so welcome! Look, she has brought so much over, it is estimated that this year I have brought all the wool from my husband." Li Fangfang's mother touched the wool and sighed: "Tong Yan is really lucky, these wool are all good things, the man's family is capable, or she is a little girl who can get it there. To these, tsk tsk, it's really good." Li Fangfang gave her old mother a note with the size written on it, and took special care of it. It's enough to knit a vest for her future children as much as possible, which Tong Yan agreed. Aunt Li smiled until the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes came out, and she felt at ease, thinking that Tong Yan was a sensible girl.

Aunt Li took her little daughter together, and it took a week to knit everything. Tong Yan got the things, and Le Dian Dian went to Lu Jinzhi. He handed a large bag of clothes to Lu Jinzhi with a pleading expression on his face.

Lu Jinzhi turned to look at these things: two men's wool vests, one women's wool vest, two scarves, and two pairs of gloves. "You made these?" Tong Yan's face fell when she heard Lu Jinzhi's question. Lu Jinzhi teased her: "I heard you were weaving scarves last time, and I haven't seen a scarf until now." Tong Yan grabbed the thing in Lu Jinzhi's hand and asked angrily, "Who did you listen to? Lu Jinzhi was at a loss for words. He said in his heart that he had missed the point. He couldn't sell Director Feng, so he had to say, "Everyone in the factory is saying that you are weaving scarves. I think it must be for me." Tong Yan was white. He glanced at him and said, "Beautiful you, I let others weave all of this, whether you love it or not." Lu Jinzhi hurriedly begged for mercy, hugged Tong Yan for a while, before letting Tong Yan let him go.

In fact, Lu Jinzhi didn't like seeing Tong Yan's lifeless appearance a while ago. Now that she has regained her vitality, she feels a lot more at ease, and she inevitably wants to tease her.

After a while, Tong Yan thought about the marriage and asked Lu Jinzhi what plans he had. Lu Jinzhi tapped her little nose and asked, "I finally remembered, when you think about it, the daylily is cold. I discussed it with my family, we will hold a meeting in city B, and I will invite your friends to eat here. A meal, and some candy, okay?"

Tong Yan thought about it, after all, she has no family and not many friends, so three tables are enough. Lu Jinzhi has many family members and friends, so he must do it. He asked Lu Jinzhi again: "What are you going to do?" Lu Jinzhi said with a bit of guilt: "The wedding is definitely not a big deal now, I think it's the same as everyone, just go through the process and invite the closest people to have a meal. Recognize yourself. At least it has to be in terms of face. As for the others, I will definitely compensate you." Tong Yan doesn't care about these, if you come up with any tricks at this time, you are asking for trouble, there is no need.

It is impossible for Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi to go to City B to arrange the wedding, so Zhang Qiao has full authority over this matter. Zhang Qiao didn't find it troublesome at all, but enjoyed it. Tong Yan doesn't have a family, and she is a little girl. She knows what to prepare for marriage. When it comes to tossing for a long time, she can't get things done. It's better to take it all by herself and feel at ease. She took care of everything with joy, buying furniture and electrical appliances, all of which were accompanied by Lu Xinian's instructions. Lu Xinian complained about his son in his heart, but his face was still cheerful.
