Chapter 6 Entering the county town.

In fact, before the incident of knocking her head, He Susu thought that she and her third sister-in-law had a good relationship.

She was very proud of graduating from high school, and she looked down on her elder and second sisters-in-law who only graduated from elementary school and could barely read and write. She had a good impression of her third sister-in-law who also graduated from high school and was from the city, and she loved to interact with her.

In my impression, my third sister-in-law has a gentle personality and taught her two children to be polite. She would also share some good things with them on weekdays. So that day, when Dabao held a White Rabbit candy in his hand, she asked for it directly because she wanted to eat it. When Dabao refused to give it to her, she tried to snatch it away.

Originally, she was a little angry with her third sister-in-law. In her opinion, she had a very good relationship with her third sister-in-law. She would share any good things with her first, but this time she didn't share any White Rabbit candy with her.

But from the awakened memory, she also learned about the future plot of the book. Even though the lazy aunt in the book brought bad influence to the third brother and his wife's family, it was not caused by her now. He Susu still felt a little guilty, and her anger also subsided.

The current third sister-in-law has been reborn with memories of the future. Because she is determined to move out of the He family, He Susu doesn't know how to get along with her for a while.

She hadn't thought about the matter of her third sister-in-law these days, and now that her mother mentioned it, she thought she would just let it go. Besides, her third sister-in-law had to go to work during the day, and she wouldn't run into her when she went to deliver the vegetables.

After thinking it over, He Susu nodded and said, "Okay, I know where Third Sister-in-law's family is, so I just need to make one more trip."

Seeing that her daughter didn't take the previous farce to heart and was not angry with her third sister-in-law, He's mother was also happy: "Well, that's good. You and your third brother have always had a good relationship. If there is a knot between you and your third sister-in-law, your third brother will feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle."

The rice earned by the family was barely enough to support the family. Life really got better after the third son went to the army and sent back his allowance every month. Even after the third son got married, after discussing with his wife and husband, they would still send 15 yuan directly to the family every month. Every time she cooked for Susu, she used the money from this.

At present, the third child in the family has the most promising future. Naturally, she hopes that Susu and her third brother will have a good relationship so that they can support each other in the future.

He Susu had no idea that her mother had thought so much. She smiled and said, "I'm not such a stingy person. I was really dizzy when I was fighting with Dabao for the White Rabbit candy that day. I've come to terms with it now."

Seeing her daughter think this way, He's mother was relieved. After a few words, she rushed to the vegetable garden in the yard to pick vegetables in the dark. There were a lot of vegetables to be picked for the eldest daughter's in-laws and the third daughter-in-law's family, and she had to go to work tomorrow morning. She could only pick the vegetables now, sprinkle water on them and put them aside, so that they would be fresh when she took them to the city tomorrow morning.

The next morning, after breakfast, He Susu took her money and set off with a bamboo basket filled with various vegetables.

The distance from Qinghe Production Team to the county town was not short, and it took He Susu more than an hour to walk there. She was always reluctant to put herself in a difficult position, so she paid two cents at the entrance of the village and got on the oxcart that would take her to the county town.

The team would have ox carts carrying people to and from the county town every other day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. As the driver, Uncle Dashan could also earn cents from the team.

Of course, there are also people who are reluctant to spend these two cents and walk to the county town on foot.

He Susu was a regular customer of the carriage. After greeting the other aunties on the carriage, she sat in a corner by herself, listening to the aunties chatting about which daughter-in-law had a quarrel with the mother-in-law, or which child was brave enough to go fishing in the river. It was quite interesting.

After a little over half an hour, the ox cart arrived at the gate of the county supply and marketing cooperative, and everyone got off.

He Susu originally thought that it was inconvenient to carry the bamboo basket, so she would buy the bowls after she finished her work. Then she stepped into the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to the candy counter: "Comrade, give me half a pound of White Rabbit candy."

The salesperson quoted the price impatiently.

He Susu handed her the candy ticket and money, and the other party took out White Rabbit candy from the counter, weighed half a pound and put it in a bag for her.

After buying the candy, He Susu left the supply and marketing cooperative and walked straight to the steel plant’s staff quarters.

At this time, all the workers have gone to work. From time to time, the sounds of children playing and the angry voices of women working or scolding their children can be heard from the family building.

Walking to a building with green vines growing on the corner, He Susu walked up the stairs to the third floor. The door on the right was closed, and she could faintly hear the sound of children playing inside. She reached out and knocked on the door and shouted, "Sister, I'm Susu, open the door."

Soon, the child responded: "It's Auntie!"

Soon the door opened, and two boys who looked similar rushed over and happily called "Auntie". They were the sons of my eldest sister He Xiuxiu, who were a little over four years old.

Then a girl who looked like He Susu but was a little older came out of the room. It was He Xiuxiu. Not long after she got married, she got pregnant and gave birth to twin sons. Her in-laws were so happy that they finally accepted her.

He Xiuxiu was also happy to see her younger sister, and quickly welcomed her in, helping her take the bamboo basket on her back: "Why did you bring so many vegetables again? I told you not to bother, we can just buy vegetables in the city if we want to eat them. There are many people at home, so keep these vegetables for later consumption."

He Susu found a chair and sat down: "You know that mother is thinking about you. A lot of vegetables have grown in the vegetable garden at home, enough to eat for a long time, just rest assured, sister."

As she spoke, she took out some White Rabbit candies from the bag and called to the twins: "Haohao, Juejue, I'll give each of you two White Rabbit candies."

"Wow, thank you, auntie!" Haohao and Juejue's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they quickly came over to take the White Rabbit candy and thanked them sweetly. Every time the auntie came over, she would bring something for them, and the mother would also pay for the auntie to take them to buy popsicles. The two children liked the auntie very much.

He Xiuxiu saw it and smiled: "You just came, why did you buy White Rabbit candies for them?"

"There's a reason for this." He Susu sent the two children out to play and talked to her eldest sister about the previous farce.

After listening to this, He Xiuxiu first carefully looked at the wound on her younger sister's forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately there is no scar, otherwise I would be heartbroken."

Then he frowned again, "Although Dabao can't be blamed for you kowtowed, he is still a child and it is normal for him to protect his food. But why is Su Yu so unreasonable and angry that she even quarreled with her mother and moved back to her mother's house with the child?"

He Susu smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law is probably protecting Dabao. I am overbearing in everything I do at home, and she must be angry. But these are all small things. I don't care about them after I think about it. Mother asked me to send some vegetables to Third sister-in-law's family, so I will do it."

He Xiuxiu nodded and said with relief: "It's good that you think this way, little sister. You have grown up a little. Since you are going to Su Yu's mother's house, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I will go with you."

Actually, it was she who asked her mother-in-law to help introduce Su Yu to her. Since she married to the city, she also wanted to help her mother's family. Her third brother was an officer in the army and was quite capable. Knowing that her mother wanted to introduce a girl to her third brother, He Xiuxiu spent a lot of time to introduce Su Yu back home, so she had a lot of dealings with Su Yu's mother.

He Susu smiled and agreed.

He Xiuxiu immediately stood up and said, "I'll just keep some of the vegetables in this bamboo basket, and take the rest to Su Yu's house, so it will be more decent."

He Susu quickly stopped her, "No need, big sister. Mom has already divided it up. The ones tied with vegetable leaves are for you, and the ones tied with straw ropes are for my third sister-in-law's family. The portions are just right."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." He Xiuxiu sorted out the bamboo basket and saw that there were a lot of vegetables left for Su Yu's mother's family, so she agreed. She told her two sons that she was going out with her aunt and would be back soon, so she sent them to play at the next door.

The two sisters went out and went downstairs, walked out of the steel plant’s staff building and headed towards Su Yu’s parents’ home.

On the way, He Xiuxiu spoke from her heart: "Susu, you have to get along well with your third sister-in-law. I don't have many connections here. Although I asked your brother-in-law to help ask around, he only knows people who do heavy work in steel mills, which is not suitable for you. Your third sister-in-law also graduated from high school and works at a radio station. She knows a lot of people. If she has connections, she can help you find a job. It would be good to work as a propaganda officer in another factory. At least you have a job that can make money."

"Besides, you are not young anymore, you are pretty and well educated. With my help, and the help of your third sister-in-law, I can introduce you to a talented young man in the city."

She has been worrying about this a lot recently.

In He Xiuxiu's opinion, her little sister is so pretty, graduated from high school, sweet and talkative, and has no problems except that she doesn't like to work. Such an excellent female comrade must marry a man in the city to live.

If I find a job working in the fields, even if I earn a full centimeter every day, I won't be able to give my sister a life of eating meat and wearing nice clothes often.

After hearing what her eldest sister said, He Susu said indifferently: "I know, you don't need to worry about the relationship with the third sister-in-law."

Before she kowtowed, He Susu was anxious to find a job in the city and to find a good-looking partner in the city. She didn't want to end up working in the fields.

Now, she is not in a hurry. Finding a job in the city is nothing more than earning a salary, but now she can exchange things in the shopping system by working hard.

There is no rush to find a partner in the city. I am so beautiful, and I will naturally find someone I like when the time comes.

She said, "Sister, I've been feeling pretty comfortable staying at home lately. I'm thinking about whether I can write some articles and submit them to earn some royalties, so I'm not in a hurry to find a job. Thank you and your husband for worrying about me."

He Susu came up with the idea of ​​writing articles and submitting them as a good way to get back the things she redeemed in the system.

When I was in high school, a female classmate wrote an article and submitted it to a magazine. It was selected and she was very popular among her classmates at that time.

He Susu was unwilling to fall behind, so she also took the trouble to write an article and submitted it. It was also selected and she received her first 1.5 yuan in royalties. However, she disliked the mental strain of writing articles, and her family had no shortage of money for her no matter how hard she worked, so she never wrote articles again.

She thought that if the article she submitted was not selected, she could just tell her family that she had used the royalties to buy things.

He Xiuxiu knew that her younger sister was very persistent in her decision, so she didn't say much and continued to help her find out which factory in the city was hiring.

The two sisters quickly walked to the textile factory’s staff quarters, found Su Yu’s parents’ home, went up to the building, and knocked on the door.

Seeing the person who opened the door, He Xiuxiu smiled and greeted: "Aunt, my mother's family grows a lot of vegetables. My younger sister came to the city today and asked her to bring some over for you to try."

He Susu followed suit and called out, "Hello, Auntie."

Su's mother entertained them with a good face: "It turns out that it is Xiuxiu and Susu who are here. Come in and sit down. My mother-in-law is so polite. She knows that we need to buy vegetables here, and she asked you to send some vegetables over."

He Susu followed her elder sister into the house and sat down in front of the coffee table in the living room.

Su's mother took the bamboo basket with a smile and shouted into the house, "Dabao and Erbao, your eldest and second aunts are here, come out quickly." After that, she went to get some tea leaves to make water for them to drink.

"Thank you, auntie." He Susu took the cup with a smile and drank a sip of tea. Looking at her auntie's attitude, she didn't know whether the third sister-in-law didn't tell her about the farce at home before, or whether she was tolerant and didn't care.

Dabao and Erbao, one five and one three years old, came out bounding with the younger one, holding toys in their hands. Erbao was too young to remember so much, and kept calling out "Auntie" and "Auntie". Dabao saw that the younger one was a little scared and nervous, so he called out to her softly and didn't dare to get close.

He Susu beckoned them over and took out some White Rabbit candies from the bag: "Come, I'll give each of you two White Rabbit candies."
