1970s: Farming and Supporting Yourself

191-200

Chapter 191 Two sisters,

Ye Huan, are 1.58 meters tall. They are neither thin nor fat. Their hair is casually tied into a low ponytail and their faces are plain. She looks like an ordinary woman, not conspicuous in the crowd.

If it weren't for the photo, Ye Xin might not have recognized it so quickly.

She gestured to Shen Zhuo and walked in the direction of Ye Huan.

Ye Huan was craning his neck to look among the crowded passengers, with a look of anticipation and a bit of anxiety on his face. He didn't even care if someone bumped his shoulder.

Hey, why haven't you seen anyone yet? Didn't you say that this train has arrived...

Just as he was muttering in his heart, Ye Huan suddenly heard a voice very close to him: "Sister."

Ye Huan looked back and was stunned.

Ye Xin looked at her with a smile: "Sister, you don't recognize me."

Ye Huan hesitated and couldn't believe it, "You, are you Xinxin?"

Ye Xin nodded with a smile and waved the phone she held in her left hand. Photo, "It's me."

After Ye Huan confirmed it, he immediately became pleasantly surprised and grabbed her hand, "It's really you! Xinxin, are you so beautiful and tall? You are completely different from before. I I can't even recognize them!"

The sisters were naturally excited to get together. Shen Zhuo couldn't say anything for a while, so he stood aside with his luggage and thoughtfully separated them from the crowd.

Ye Xin sighed with emotion: "After so many years, there have been changes. If you hadn't sent me the photo, eldest sister, I might not have recognized you!"

Ye Huan nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely excited for the moment. Jia, just holding her hand tightly, "Yes, we sisters have not seen each other for six years, it has indeed been too long! You are finally willing to come back..." His eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he cried with joy. .

Ye Xin smiled and said: "Isn't this back? Sister, let's go out first."

Ye Huan quickly wiped his eyes, "Yes, the station is too crowded. Come on, let's go out first! Alas, I also said I came to pick you up, but you found me first." He said while holding her hand and pushing out.

She was overly excited, and her sister was so beautiful that she changed drastically. The shock was so great that she forgot everything else for a while.

Ye Xin walked ahead with her, not forgetting to take a look at Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo followed with his luggage.

After leaving the station, although it was still very busy with people coming and going, it was much better than inside, at least it was not so noisy.

At this time, Ye Huan remembered something and asked quickly: "Oh, by the way, where is your luggage? Why didn't you take your luggage?"

Her eyes fell on her sister. Her clothes were bright and clean, but her hands were empty, and there was a small and cute bag hanging sideways on her body. , but it obviously can't hold anything. Why don't you have any luggage when you are traveling far away?

Ye Xin smiled and said: "Here it is."

As she said that, under the eldest sister's puzzled eyes, she turned to look at Shen Zhuo and said: "Eldest sister, before I have time to introduce you, this is my partner Shen Zhuo who came back with me. . "

In fact, Ye Huan had always felt that someone was nearby, and the person was so tall that it blocked the light. But she thought there was a passenger standing nearby, but she didn't expect that he came back with Xinxin.

Now when I heard it, I quickly looked carefully. First of all, I thought why is this young man so tall? Like a giant!

Then I realized he was so handsome! That face and aura can truly be called "a dragon or a phoenix among men".

Ye Huan looked up at Shen Zhuo, again in disbelief: "Xinxin, is this your partner??"

Shen Zhuo took two steps forward with his luggage, and spoke in a gentle and polite voice: "Hello, eldest sister, I am Xinxin's husband, Shen Zhuo. We have been married for three years."

Ye Huan was shocked again, and her voice couldn't help but raise: "Already been married for three years?"

She turned to look at Ye Xin with wide eyes, "I asked you if you were in love before, but you avoided it. Talk, it turns out they are all married!"

Ye Xin showed an apologetic smile: "Well, I thought it was hard to tell on paper, so I just brought her back to see you and you will know. The first two years were not very stable, so I postponed my return until this year. "

Ye Huan really didn't know what to say for a moment: "You are really..." He

looked up at the tall, handsome, humble and polite Shen Zhuo, and then at his charming and charming sister, who finally fell into a trance. He said, "You guys are a perfect match."

Ye Xin and Shen Zhuo looked at each other and smiled.

Their appearance and height are so eye-catching that people who come in and out of the station frequently look back.

Ye Huan also noticed this.

It's winter again now, and it's cold to stand here. Ye Huan quickly said: "Since you're married, it's okay to bring her back to see you. That's right. Let's go home first?" Let's also let the family see her.

Ye Xin said: "There's no rush. Sister, we just got off the train and haven't had breakfast yet. We want to eat first."

Ye Huan was stunned, "Do you want to go home and cook something?"

Ye Xin shook her head, "I'm very hungry. Let's go to a restaurant to eat."

Just after the reunion, Ye Huan was feeling happy. When he heard her saying she was hungry, he immediately said, "Okay, let's go to a state-owned restaurant to eat. Sister, I'll treat you to it!"

Still holding her sister's hand ! , and said to his brother-in-law: "Shen Zhuo, please carry your luggage, please follow me. Let's take the bus."

Shen Zhuo nodded and followed with his bag.

The state-owned hotel was three stops away from the station. Ye Huan was used to being thrifty and would rather walk. She didn't go to the hotel to eat, but now that her sister and husband were back with her luggage, she naturally had to be more generous.

When we walked to the stop, the bus just happened to arrive. Without waiting, the three of us got on the bus.

There were too many people on the bus at the end of the year and there were not enough seats. The two sisters sat down, but Shen Zhuo didn't. He raised his hand and grabbed the pull ring and stood next to Ye Xin, making him look taller.

The passengers in the car all looked sideways, looking at the handsome young man whose head was almost touching the roof of the car, secretly wondering.

Ye Huan also took a look, still surprised.

I really want to ask my sister, who is this person, how did they meet, and how did they get married? But since he was right next to me, I was too embarrassed to ask.

So I took Ye Xin and asked her about her going to the countryside in the past few years.

Ye Huan still felt a sense of unreality in his heart.

She really couldn't understand, and she still couldn't believe it. The girl who was dark, skinny, and had a face like a vegetable six years ago had become so delicate and beautiful after going to the countryside.

She has bright eyes and white teeth, fair and flawless skin, and even her hair is exquisite and beautiful. Not only does she look good, her clothes are also brand new, they don't look cheap, and she looks like she's living a good life no matter what.

It doesn't feel like I have gone to the countryside to farm, but it seems like I have returned from a big city to enjoy life!

But in Ye Huan's impression, going to the countryside to farm is not a blessing. There are many educated youths who go to the countryside among relatives, friends, and neighbors. When they come back to visit relatives, they all lose a lot of weight and look darker. It looks like they have eaten in the countryside. A lot of hardships, why is Xinxin so different from others?

Ye Huan asked in surprise: "Xinxin, have you really been farming in the countryside these past few years?"

Ye Xin nodded with a smile: "Of course. Look at the address I sent you the letter to, isn't it always the Fengshui Brigade? Ye

Huan: "But..."

You don't look like a farmer at all.

Through correspondence in the past few years, I can feel that my sister's thoughts and personality have changed a lot, but I didn't expect that her appearance has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

No trace of the dark, thin, sharp and willful Xinxin before can be found.

Is this the transformation of women, becoming more and more beautiful?

Ye Huan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling a little confused that things are different and people are different.

Looking at her, he couldn't help but sigh: "You have grown a lot taller. You used to be a little shorter than me."

Ye Xin smiled and nodded: "You have grown taller. You grow your own land and vegetables in the countryside, and you can eat them after all. After having enough food, I also raised chickens and ducks, and my nutrition kept up. I was still young and could grow, so I grew taller."

Ye Huan felt sad when he heard this, thinking that the reason why Xinxin was so thin and short before was because he couldn't eat enough. Full stomach?

In fact, so am I. But things have gotten better since I started working, especially in the past few years. I have learned to plan for myself, save money and spend it on my own, so that I can take care of myself better. It's just that I'm older and can't grow taller.

Xinxin was only sixteen when she went to the countryside and was underage. It seemed normal for her to grow longer after eating enough.

It's just that she looks so good. Such a slim, charming sister is so beautiful that she hardly looks like her own sister.

My sister also quietly married such a handsome husband.

In the past, Ye Huan felt that he stayed in the city after all, the workers were paid, and many people envied him. It was definitely much better than going to the countryside as an educated youth. Looking at it now, it turns out that Xinxin's life is better than hers... It feels like a dream when I think about it.

When the bus arrived, they got off the bus and entered the state-owned hotel.

Ye Xin saw that Ye Huan still had something to say, so she glanced at Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo took the initiative to speak: "You guys sit down first, I'll take the order - Sister, do you have any taboos?"

Ye Huan quickly shook his head: "There are no taboos... Oh, I ate what I had in the morning, you can order it for yourself Okay. Just order, I'll pay later."

Shen Zhuo nodded, found an empty table, put down his luggage, and then went to the window to order food.

There were not many people in the hotel, and the few people who looked over looked at it, and then couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Ye

Huan was still a little uncomfortable because of the glances coming at her and because she had hardly been to a restaurant. She pulled Ye Xin to sit down and whispered, "Look, you are the center of attention wherever you go now."

Xin smiled and said: "Ignore them."

Seeing her calm and unaffected look, Ye Huan knew that she must have been used to it a long time ago, and she might also go to restaurants frequently, so he became more curious about her life in the past few years.

But what I am more curious about now is my sister's husband of three years.

While he was walking away, she quickly asked in a low voice: "How did you marry him? Where is he from? Is he an educated youth who also went to the countryside to come to your place?"

In her opinion, Shen Zhuo was not only extremely tall and handsome, , the temperament is also very different, not like a country boy.

He must be an educated youth after all, so that he can get to know and get together with his sister, who is also an educated youth in the countryside.

However, unexpectedly, her sister told her that she was not an educated youth, but a local team member.

Ye Xindao: "The policy of vigorously training barefoot doctors came out a few years ago. He participated. After the training, he worked at the brigade's medical station. He received a salary of 25 yuan per month, which was not as good as that of urban workers, but in He also works in the countryside."

Ye Huan was a little surprised, but he understood, "No wonder, I said he doesn't look like he works in the fields. It turns out that he is a doctor, so your living conditions are not bad. I have made you fair and rosy."

Ye Xin smiled and continued: "It is indeed a lot easier, but we can't break away from agricultural production. He still has to go to the fields when he is not on duty; I am lazy. It's not like we work half a day during the busy farming season and spend the rest of the day at home tending the vegetable garden and raising chickens and ducks. In this way, we can eat food, vegetables, meat and eggs without spending any money. His salary is saved, and there is also a dividend at the end of the year. "Look, our life is not bad."

Ye Huan nodded, "I see, it's more than okay. You have food and wages, and your life is better than that of people in the city! No wonder you are both fair and clean!" He's even prettier than the people in the city!"

I asked about Shen Zhuo's family situation and found out that both of his parents were dead and he didn't have any relatives to help him. He couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But thinking about his own family's situation, Ye Huan felt that their condition was quite good. Maybe it would be better if they were not controlled by their elders!

Shen Zhuo knew that the sisters had something to talk about, so he ordered food and waited for a while before returning.

Ye Huan understood his situation, and after he sat down, he also asked a few questions as a member of Ye Xin's family.

Although Shen Zhuo is usually taciturn and indifferent to people, he still respects Ye Xin's family members, especially the only good eldest sister, and answers all questions with humility and courtesy.

Ye Huan thought he was a little cold before, but after talking with him, his impression of him became better.

While talking, the food was served. I ordered a lot. Although Ye Huan said that he had eaten it, under the persuasion of the two of them, Ye Huan also ate some.

It's also quite enjoyable.

After the meal, Shen Zhuo paid and did not ask the eldest sister to pay.

At this time, the eldest sister mentioned again: "Xinxin, go home now. Dad and eldest brother are at work, and mother and little brother are at home. I will be very happy to know that you are back." She had to go to work today, so she asked for leave to pick her up. people.

Ye Xin said bluntly: "I'm not going back, eldest sister. The main reason I came back this time is to see you. I don't want to see them."

Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are back. At least we can see you ." First meeting?"

He looked at Shen Zhuo again and said, "You are already married. Why don't you show it to your elders when you come back?" Ye Xin

still shook his head, "I didn't have any expectations for them in the past few years. There was no contact, and we broke up in the letter. I really don't want to see them. Don't try to persuade me."

Ye Huan actually vaguely guessed her attitude, but originally thought that she brought her husband back and a son-in-law came to visit. mean.

I didn't expect to be so decisive.

In her opinion, they have come back, so why not meet again? Regardless of family ties, just go through the motions.

Ye Huan glanced at Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo said: "I listen to Xinxin."

Ye Huan sighed. In this case, she did not persuade her. She only asked with concern: "Then where do you live? The guest house?"

Ye Xin nodded and asked Shen Zhuo to bring some in the bag. He took out the dry goods and said, "These are all grown at home and can't be eaten and dried. Take this opportunity to bring some here. Sister, you can take them back and eat them. Just eat them yourself. Don't give them to them, and don't tell them that we are back.

" Huan didn't expect that the two of them only had such a small luggage bag, and it actually contained half of the dried vegetables. She was touched and dumbfounded at the same time: "You have sent them back before, and they were all delicious. Is it hard for you to still be like that?" But now I live in the factory dormitory and eat in the cafeteria. I can't do anything if I don't have the fire."

Ye Huan has devoted himself to studying and working hard in the past few years. Because of his good performance, he was promoted to the workshop team last year. I got a salary increase, applied to live in a dormitory, and moved out from home.

After leaving the messy Ye family, I really felt much more comfortable.

Ye Xin had already learned about this from the letter, so she just said this. Now she doesn't want to give any advantage to other Ye family members.

But the eldest sister doesn't open the fire herself, which is a problem. Ye Xin said: "Can you take it to the canteen and have someone process it for you alone? Or, you can take it and give it to others - hey, by the way, didn't I say it before? I'm pursuing you, what's going on now?" Ye Xin suddenly remembered that it was the person Ye Huan met after he started reading and studying in the library.

Ye Huan blushed. He didn't expect her to say this suddenly. Her brother-in-law was still there, so he could only vaguely say: "It's not much, it's still the same."

Seeing her blush, Ye Xin felt that there was something funny and said with a smile: "That means he is still here. I'm pursuing you. Don't be embarrassed. I think I'm sincere in not giving up after all these years. How about the eldest sister invites him out for a meal together to see what he's like? "

Ye Huan . When I heard it, I thought it was a good idea. The relationship with my family has become increasingly bad over the years, and there is no one I can discuss with.

In fact, she thinks the other party is good, but she is a little afraid to make up her mind.

My sister and her husband seem to be very reliable, so it would be great to be able to help check things out.

Speaking of which, Ye Huan is not young anymore and wants to start a family.

Look, my sister has been married for several years, but I haven't yet.

Thinking of this, Ye Huan nodded, "Okay, it's rare for you to come back and help me make up my mind."

Then they discussed the time, "Tomorrow is the last day of work on the 29th, so I can do it in the evening. It's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, so maybe my family will be busy. Otherwise, it will be after the New Year. By the way, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Ye Xin said: "We took fifteen days of family leave, and we will leave after the New Year. I think it's better to meet her sooner rather than later. I can't wait to see my eldest sister's suitor. How about making an appointment for dinner at this restaurant tomorrow?"

Ye Huan nodded, "I think I'll go see him after work today. "

Ye Xin said with a smile: "Then you take these dry vegetables and give him some to eat."

Ye Huan had to accept it. "That's it. Are you going to the guest house now? "

Ye Huan ." Xin said: "No, we can go by ourselves. Sister, please go back to work first and see you tomorrow evening."
