Chapter 79: Go live in the Dongfanghong Brigade
After chatting for a while, Su Man came back carrying a big bag, and she was soaked like a drowned rat. Xia Wanyang took the bag, handed the towel to her, and took the opportunity to pour water to add half a cup of stream water into the cup.
"Sister Su, drink some warm water quickly, don't catch a cold!"
Su Man thanked him and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, she smacked her lips and said, "Sister, the water you poured for me is really delicious. I felt cold just now, but now I feel warm all of a sudden!"
Xia Wanyang laughed nervously, "No, no, no, okay, Sister Su, go change your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold!"
After changing her clothes, Su Man sat on He Hua's bed. He Hua handed her the unopened lunch box, "Sister Su, this is what Wan Yang brought. I've eaten it, so I left it for you!"
Su Man exhaled, "He Hua, Comrade Xia, do you know? No one has ever left a meal for me at my husband's house, whether before or after marriage."
After that, she ate while tears fell into her lunch box. Xia Wanyang handed over a towel, "What Comrade Xia? Then I should call you Comrade Su, right? I call you sister, and you call me sister and Comrade Xia at times. I'm confused. From now on, Sister Su, just call me Wanyang or Yangyang. I'm eighteen years old and from Shanghai. I'm getting married next month. Both of you sisters have to come to my wedding, but you're not allowed to give gifts. I'll be very happy if you show up!"
Su Man burst into laughter, "Silly girl, how can you say you don't want a gift? You call me sister, so I have to act like a sister, right? I'm thirty-three years old this year, fifteen years older than you, how can I take advantage of a child?"
They chatted and laughed for a while. When Su Man finished her meal, He Hua looked at her and said, "Sister Su, you also know that Liu's parents will be back in three years. I don't want to stay there. After I am discharged from the hospital, I want to find a place where no one knows me and start a new life. But it's a bit dangerous for me as a divorced woman. Are you willing to go with me?"
Su Man held He Hua's hand and said, "Of course I am willing. I have already torn my face with my brother and sister-in-law. Even if you don't tell me, I am ready to take care of you and rent a house for you after you are discharged from the hospital. I don't want to live near them anymore!"
Xia Wanyang's eyes turned, "Why don't you go to our brigade? The people there are very nice. I have made those who like to stir up trouble obedient. No matter where you go, you will be in danger. If you go to a place I am familiar with, I can still protect you. You can also go to the fields to work with me. If you don't like working in the fields, you can make some things and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative to earn some extra money. Houses in the countryside are cheap, and you can grow some vegetables to eat. Not only will there be no expenses, but you may even be able to save some money!"
Seeing Su Man's moved look, Xia Wanyang quickly continued, "Also, my boyfriend's father is the captain. Sister He Hua knows that. He will definitely take good care of you when you go there!"
After saying that, he made a naughty face at He Hua.
He Hua smiled and tapped Xia Wanyang's forehead. "Bad girl, don't think I don't know what you want to do. I'm telling you, I don't have that intention anymore. I just want to live my life well now!"
Su Man asked, "What heart?"
Xia Wanyang smiled evilly, "Sister He Hua's first love is my boyfriend's third brother!"
After listening to this, Su Man also laughed and joked, "I think it's okay. No one will find us in the countryside. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Xia Wanyang stood up suddenly, put away her lunch box, picked up her raincoat and ran out, "It's settled, I'll go back and arrange a house for you guys, I'll come back in two days!"
"Hey, hey, Yangyang, I haven't agreed yet!" He Hua shouted.
Xia Wanyang, who had already gone out, opened the door again and poked her head out. "That's not up to you. After I help you find a house, you have to go whether you want to or not, humph!"
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Su Man smiled and shook her head. "This little girl is really cute. With her in my life, I am much happier. He Hua, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you don't want to start a new relationship, it's just the two of us sisters. It doesn't matter where we go. Let's go to their brigade. I can also experience the happiness of the countryside!"
Xia Wanyang left the hospital and took out her new bicycle. She went shopping in the department store and looked at the cloth stall. She took out a piece of soap from her bag (which was actually a space) and secretly stuffed it into the salesperson's pocket. "Sister, do you sell cotton?"
The salesperson looked down at the soap in his hand, glanced around, and quickly stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "Yes, but it's a defective product from last year, about a few dozen kilograms, but it's not a big problem, except that it's a little yellow, there's nothing wrong with it. If you want to buy it, it's 50 cents a kilogram, no ticket required!"
Xia Wanyang nodded in surprise. You know, cotton is a good thing in the Northeast. In winter, if you want to buy it, you pay more than one yuan per pound, and you need a ticket!
"Thank you, sister. Can I have them all?"
"Okay, I'll give them all to you. They were originally reserved by a few of our colleagues. I'll ask them later if they can give them all to you!"
Xia Wanyang quickly grabbed a handful of candies from her bag and said, "Sorry, sister. Please share some with everyone and give them to me. I need them urgently!"
The salesman opened his shoulder bag and Xia Wanyang stuffed the candy into it. "I'll be back in a minute. Please help me watch the stall. If anyone wants to buy cloth, ask them to wait for a while. Just say I'm going to the bathroom!"
After a while, the salesperson came back and nodded heavily.
Xia Wanyang and the salesperson came to the outside of the warehouse. The cotton was neatly bundled and weighed a total of 50 kilograms. Xia Wanyang paid 25 yuan.
The salesperson asked, "How can you carry it in such heavy rain?"
Xia Wanyang waved her hand, "My boyfriend will come to pick me up in a while, don't worry, sister, you can go back to the stall quickly, I won't delay you!"
After the salesperson left, Xia Wanyang waved her hand and took the cotton back into the space. Now her big sofa was covered with thick stuffing!
It was already afternoon when Xia Wanyang returned to the Dongfanghong Brigade. She looked around at the entrance of the village and saw that there was no one around, so she let out the other bicycle. She then took out a large basket, put 50 kilograms of neatly stacked cotton in the basket, covered it with a layer of oilcloth, and carried the basket on her back to Carpenter Gao's home.
Then, he walked towards Zhang Shiye's house with a bicycle in each hand and one step forward.
"Zhang Shiye, I'm back, pick me up!"
Zhang Shiye was sitting by the window, sulking at the door. When he saw the little girl pushing two bicycles clumsily towards him, he was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. He ran out in a hurry without even putting on a raincoat.
"Xia Wanyang!"
Xia Wanyang shrank her neck and said, "You are mean to me, huh, I will ignore you!" Then she turned her head.
Zhang Shiye took the two cars and walked back without even looking at her, "Follow me in!"
"I don't!"
Zhang Shiye threw the two cars into the yard, then turned around and walked out, pinching Xia Wanyang's slender waist and carrying her on his shoulder. Xia Wanyang was startled and struggled with her thin legs flapping.
"Zhang Shiye, you big bad guy, let me go. I'm not going to your house anymore. I want to go back to the educated youth camp. I'm telling you, I'm angry. I'm so angry. You can't appease me!"
Zhang Shiye bit his back teeth and threatened: "Xia Wanyang, if you keep making trouble, I will throw you onto the roof!"
Xia Wanyang didn't dare to move, and cried, "You bully me, I don't like you!"
Aunt Qiao heard the noise outside and wanted to go out to see what was going on. Zhang Heping grabbed her and said, "Where are you going? The young couple are just flirting, why are you interfering?"
Aunt Qiao thought the same and sat back on the kang. Seeing the two bicycles in the rain, she said quickly, "Old man, push the bicycles into the house quickly, or they will get soaked!"
