Gu An’an woke up to find herself in the underprivileged era of the 1970s, where food and warmth were scarce. Just as she arrived, she encountered a crucial moment when her young mother, an educat...
That's right! Xu Chengcheng had a bad temper and was getting a little nervous waiting for a while. She silently said to herself that if An An and Ban Xia didn't come after she counted to 100, she would rush into the house to look for them. Anyway, Xiao Hua knew where Ban Xia lived.
Of course, Hu Xiao Hua also lived in the textile factory compound and had been to Jiang Jiang's house, so she naturally knew where it was.
After Xu Chengcheng finished counting the last number, two figures suddenly appeared in front of her. Xu Chengcheng went up to her and gave her a bear hug. "Banxia! I miss you so much." She was very strong, and Banxia had lost weight, so it was easy for her to pick her up. When she touched Banxia's waist, Xu Chengcheng almost threw her out. She shamelessly pinched her and said in disbelief, "Banxia? Is it Banxia?" How could her waist be so thin? It was thinner than hers.
An An and Hu Xiaohua looked at each other and laughed so hard. Only Xu Chengcheng could hug someone halfway and then throw her out.
Banxia stumbled after being thrown, but she was not annoyed. She smiled and shook her slim waist, proudly, "You are jealous!", and then continued, "If you are like me, carrying a bucket of water up the mountain every day, you will definitely lose weight in less than three days."
In order to lose weight, Banxia carried a bucket of water up and down every day, dozens of times, and divided it into morning, noon and night. It was even harder than those who did physical work.
I don't know how much sweat she shed. Of course, all of this is useful. The sweat she shed turned into weight loss. She
paid more attention to her diet. Every day, she boiled cabbage and radish, and the food was corn flour buns. She had been back for so long and had not eaten any meat. She was a complete vegetarian.
An An saw that Ban Xia's chubby little hands were now covered with a thick layer of welts. If Uncle Hua Zi saw this, he would be heartbroken. Ban Xia had been raised at home for more than ten years. When had she ever done any heavy work?
Those hands were more delicate than An An's.
But it had only been a short time, and the welts had already spread all over the corners. An An felt a little distressed, "Ban Xia!"
But Ban Xia didn't care and waved her hand, "An An, I'm happy." She was willing to do anything to lose weight, let alone grow welts.
Seeing how happy Ban Xia was from the bottom of her heart, An An didn't say much. After all, in Ban Xia's opinion, compared to being fat, she could endure everything.
Xu Chengcheng even took Banxia's hand and touched it carefully, and was horrified, "If I were to be like this, I might as well be killed." She would rather be fatter than suffer this.
Hu Xiaohua also nodded. If she had to follow Banxia's cruelty, she would probably be lying in bed now, unable to get out of bed.
Banxia looked very satisfied, "People are different. I used to envy you skinny guys so much."
Anan also smiled, "When are you going to come to school? I am the only one in the class who doesn't have a deskmate." After Xu Chengcheng changed her seat, she became a deskmate with Hu Xiaohua, and the seat next to Anan has been vacant. The teacher also arranged for other students to take the seat, but because of the word "tyrant", no one was willing to be Anan's deskmate.
Banxia waved her hand, "We'll see when the time comes! I'm not sure!" In fact, according to her idea, she wanted to go directly to the next semester. During this period, their family had just moved to the city. Her father had to go to work all day long, and she was worried about leaving her mother alone at home.
An An didn't force it when she heard Ban Xia say that, and the meeting ended there.
Originally, Ban Xia invited Xu Cheng Cheng and Hu Xiao Hua to come in for dinner before leaving, but Xu Cheng Cheng waved her hand and said bluntly, "I have to go back, otherwise I don't know what kind of madness my old man will go on when I come here to bully my mother. If I were there, I could even shock him with a kitchen knife." Unlike Ban Xia, Ban Xia was worried that her mother would be too sad to be alone at home, while Xu Cheng Cheng was worried that her dead father would bully her mother again.
It would be a little better to have her at home. The same thing
happened to Hu Xiao Hua. They lived in the same courtyard, and she would go back to cook at night. It was already very late today. After saying goodbye to An An and the others, Hu Xiao Hua ran as fast as a rabbit.
An An and her family had dinner at Ban Xia's house in the evening. After all, today was a happy relocation. Gu Huazi and his family didn't have many relatives in the county, so they only called An An's family over. Everyone sat together and gathered together, which was considered a relocation banquet.
Although this house was rented, it was their new home after all, so they still attached great importance to it.
Aunt Juxiang's cooking skills were good, and Dongdong and Jiang Jiang were two well-behaved children. After finishing their homework, they went to the kitchen to help Aunt Juxiang. Not only that, the main purpose of the two children was to learn from Aunt Juxiang and learn more from her so that they could cook for their sister at home in the future.
It must be said that sometimes, Dongdong and Jiang Jiang's ideas were surprisingly consistent, that is, as long as they were good to their sister, it would be fine.
In the whole house, Gu Huazi and Gu Weiqiang were talking about this, obviously they had something to say. An An and Ban Xia were the most comfortable. When Aunt Juxiang and her family moved, they brought the pumpkin seeds from the old house in winter. Although Ban Xia wanted to eat them, she held back. She saw An An sitting there alone. When she opened her mouth, the pumpkin shells came out. After a while, Ban Xia held back a sentence, "An An, take the pumpkin seeds back and eat them!" Don't eat them in front of her! It's too torturous!
Ban Xia also loves the burnt pumpkin seeds on the kang the most. When she eats, she doesn't spit out the shells, but swallows them directly. Seeing An An eating like this, she keeps swallowing her saliva.
But for the sake of losing weight! She still held back.
After hearing what Banxia said, An An came back to her senses. She slapped her forehead and said, "Okay, okay, I won't eat anymore." She had completely forgotten about this.
She simply took out the textbook from her schoolbag, turned to the latest chapter that the teacher had taught during the day, wrote and drew for Banxia, circled the key points of knowledge, and forgot about it!
An An thought that she should not mislead the students. She could only write for herself, but she really couldn't explain it to others.
The two of them were delayed, so the main hall was set up.
Juxiang had spent all her family's money on this table, but there were no other outsiders. Gu Weiqiang's family were all her family members, and they had been busy helping for so long. Even Huazi's job was assigned to someone by Qiangzi.
This is all a favor! Although Juxiang didn't say it, she remembered it in her heart. Even if they were close brothers, they might not be so helpful.
After this meal, An'an's belly was so full that she couldn't walk. It had been a while since she had eaten the food made by Aunt Juxiang. She couldn't help but eat a little too much. However, Banxia still ate her own portion of cabbage boiled in salt water. Although she was a little eager for the table of dishes, she finally held back.
