Chapter 12 This man is a little bit abnormal in his enthusiasm

"Sufen, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, the point is that I really don't have it at home. I just got married and I haven't bought many things yet!"

What Gu Qijiao said was true. When she got married, her parents gave her a lot of dowry, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, bedding, quilts, tableware, etc.

But there was no trivial thing like toilet paper at home. The soap that Gu Qijiao used to wash the sheets in the morning was brought by Zheng Yunsheng.

Most of the things for the wedding were purchased by Gu Qijiao. Zheng Yunsheng only brought one person, as well as some daily necessities when he lived in the commune.

According to Gu Qijiao's memory, after she married Zheng Yunsheng, her husband's family would send some things to her, but she hasn't received them yet.

"Then...then go to your mother's house and get some for me. It's not far away anyway. Qijiao, we are good friends. You won't refuse to help me with such a small matter, right?"

Wang Sufen looked at Gu Qijiao pitifully, her eyes filled with disgusting calculations.

Gu Qijiao really felt that it was enough for a person to be so shameless.

"I'm already married, and the keys to my parents' house have been given to my mother. Now my parents must be out earning money. If you go with me, I'll go over there. If you can't get into the house, I'll get you some paper."

You'd better go back quickly before it gets on your pants. Go home and get a piece of cloth to cover it up. If you delay any longer, someone will see it and you'll make a fool of yourself. "

After talking for a long time, Wang Sufen still couldn't get toilet paper from Gu Qijiao.

After listening to Gu Qijiao's words, she was indeed worried that if she delayed any longer, her pants would be stained red, so she could only get up and leave unwillingly.

Gu Qijiao watched Wang Sufen walk to the gate of the yard, watched her disappear, and suddenly called her.

"What's going on?" Wang Sufen turned around in surprise when she heard Gu Qijiao calling her. She wondered in her heart whether Gu Qijiao remembered where there was paper.

Or, in other words, although Gu Qijiao has no paper, she is willing to give her some cloth to use temporarily, which is good!

I know that the pieces of cloth that Wang Sufen's mother found for her were all rotten and hard.

The pad underneath didn't absorb blood at all, and often tormented Wang Sufen's legs.

Wang Sufen thought that it would be good if Gu Qijiao was willing to take out some better cloth.

But Wang Sufen was obviously overthinking. When she turned around, she saw Gu Qijiao looking at her with a smile and saying:

"Sufen, if my life is not going well, you owe me the sixty cents, and the paper you borrowed a few months ago, you must remember to return it to me as soon as possible!"

It turned out that Gu Qijiao called her to collect debts. Wang Sufen glared at Gu Qijiao unhappily and replied impatiently:

"I know, I know"

While Wang Sufen was talking, she ran away as fast as the wind.

She didn't know whether she was worried that Gu Qijiao would chase her and ask her for money, or that her period was too heavy and she was afraid that if she came back slowly, she would make a fool of herself.

Of course, Gu Qijiao was not interested in knowing what Wang Sufen was thinking.

Seeing that the person was finally sent away, she got up and went back to the backyard to continue washing her sheets.

After washing the sheets and hanging them up to dry, Gu Qijiao went to the kitchen to see that the pot of water she had been boiling in when she washed the dishes had already boiled.

She went to the backyard, washed the wooden basin used for washing sheets, and then brought it into the house.

Then use a wooden bucket to collect the boiling water in the pot and pour it into the wooden basin in the room.

Finally, go to the backyard and fetch a bucket of cold water, bring it back to the room, and slowly add it to the wooden basin to adjust the temperature of the hot water.

When the water was cool enough to touch, Gu Qijiao took off her clothes and sat in the wooden tub.

After taking a shower, Gu Qijiao found a set of homespun clothes from the closet and put them on.

At this time, although the cloth coupons could be exchanged for "Dacron" material to make clothes in the market, the supply of "Dacron" fabric was very limited and a little expensive.

For most rural people, 'Dacron' is something they cannot afford or buy.

Therefore, the country people generally wear homemade clothes made of homespun cloth.

Homespun cloth is a kind of hand-woven cloth art that has been used by the working people of China for thousands of years.

"Jiji, jiji, Mulan weaves by the window," describes the process of making homespun cloth.

In the 1970s, almost every household in rural areas of Beijing had a wooden loom, because homespun cloth was made of cotton, and Beijing was rich in cotton.

There are relatively fewer in the south.

Gu Qijiao's family had a loom. Her mother worked out during the day to earn some money, and then sat on the loom at night after collecting the money, weaving back and forth until late at night.

For example, the clothes that Gu Qijiao was wearing were made of homespun cloth woven by her mother.

After changing her clothes, she washed the clothes she wore on her wedding day and hung them in the yard together with the bed sheets.

After finishing all this, half a day passed.

There is a watch on the bedside table at home. It belongs to Zheng Yunsheng. He is reluctant to bring it with him when doing farm work, so he always takes it off and puts it at home.

Gu Qijiao looked around and found that it was still early, so she went to bed and lay there for a while.

She took a hot bath, which relieved much of her fatigue. When it was almost noon, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook lunch.

Put a handful of rice in the pot and cook it. When the water in the pot is almost dry, add a bowl of cornmeal to the rice.

At that time, every household in the countryside ate like this. No family could afford pure glutinous rice, so glutinous rice was mixed with corn, potatoes, or sweet potatoes.

In the words of rural people, this kind of life is "one dry rice and two porridge" (dry rice for lunch, porridge for breakfast and dinner), or "two dry rice and one porridge".

It's not bad to be able to live like this. Gu Qijiao still remembers that when she was a child, the food distributed by the commune was not enough to eat.

At that time, we relied on "pig ears", wild hoe and other wild vegetables in the fields to fill our stomachs with fried noodles made mainly of persimmons and corn bran.

Gu Qijiao's family was a little poor when she was a child, but she had never suffered any hardship.

She heard from her grandmother's generation that even earlier, when her grandmother was young, there were not enough wild vegetables in the mountains to eat.

They could only pick leaves from the trees and dig up roots to fill their stomachs.

Gu Qijiao couldn't even think of using only one bottle of oil a year.

Because she had grown up in poverty, Gu Qijiao, who had lived a petty-bourgeois life for several years, did not feel uncomfortable living this kind of poor life now.

After she picked the vegetables, she went to check on the chicken coop.

There are 3 chickens in the chicken coop, two chicks and an old hen.

The old hen had already started laying eggs. It was raised in front of Gu Qijiao's parents' home. The two little chicks were the eggs that Gu Qijiao's mother exchanged with the villagers.

At this time, the village was only allowed to raise one chicken, one for laying eggs, one for eating, and one for selling.

It’s not okay to keep one more.

There are rules for growing vegetables, and they must be grown in one's own vegetable garden.

If you plant it somewhere that is not native, such as on a wall or at a door, let the team see it and they will definitely pull it out for you.

Gu Qijiao found an egg in the chicken coop. She took the egg and the vegetables she had picked back to the kitchen.

Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry a cucumber and an egg, boil some Chinese cabbage moss, and then add it. It's done.

The dish had just come out of the pot when Zheng Yunsheng came back from outside.

Seeing his wife busy in the kitchen, he couldn't help but smile happily.

"Jiaojiao, it's great to have you here!"

When Zheng Yunsheng spoke, Gu Qijiao had just packed the Chinese cabbage. When she heard Zheng Yunsheng's affectionate address, she couldn't help but pause.

I was extremely confused.

This man is so abnormal.

Because she woke him up last night and refused to let him do that, why is he so attached to her now?

Jiaojiao is long, Jiaojiao is short, it's endless.

Is it true that for men, what they can't get is the best?

This is not Gu Qijiao's result.

She also wanted to cool down her relationship with Zheng Yunsheng and divorce him naturally.

But it seems that her cold treatment has aroused Zheng Yunsheng's desire and curiosity!

What should I do?
