In contrast, the world in this book is that everyone envies the people in the city, thinking that they don't have to work, they just go to work all day and get paid. In this village, people don't get much money all year round, and they have to go hungry and freeze.
In fact, in this era, cities and rural areas are basically the same, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The brigade was still organizing people to donate tables and chairs, and then looking for a blackboard, so the anti-blindness class was said to start in two days. She was now helping the Lu family clean up the newly bought house. They had many people and many children, so they were very enthusiastic about the work.
Su Su followed her mother to clean the windows, and soon her hands turned red from the cold.
"My dear girl, please stop wiping and go into the house to sweep the kang. This woman must not be frozen before marriage." After all, the hands of the girl from the city were too tender, and Lu's mother was reluctant to order her around.
Su Su smiled and went into the room to sweep the kang, but Lu Hai snatched the broom from her and said, "Sister Su, you're sweeping the wrong way or you'll cut your hands. Let me do it."
She immediately had nothing to do, and finally, seeing the hot water in the pot, she said, "I'll wash the curtains."
"Can you do it?" Lu Hai frowned, then looked her up and down, and the young man blushed. She was so pretty, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she looked like the legendary young lady with delicate skin and tender flesh, who definitely couldn't do housework.
If I were to marry a wife, I must not marry someone like this. Otherwise, I would not be able to do any work and I would have to worry about her all day long.
No, why are you thinking about getting married? My eldest brother hasn't married yet, and it's hard to say when it will be his turn.
Su Su had no idea how far his mind had wandered, and she said to herself, "I can still do this little job." Then she found a basin and tried to lift the lid of the pot to scoop out water.
But the pot lids of that era were made of wood and were very heavy. She couldn't lift it up in one go, and the lid fell back with a bang.
"Be careful or you'll get your hands scratched." There was a crack in the middle of the pot lid, and the silly girl's hand was seen reaching into the crack to try to lift the lid off. Needless to say, she had never cooked before.
Ruichuan went over and held her hand first, then he opened the lid of the pot.
Su Su looked at the hot air coming out and realized that she was rescued. She turned around and said, "Thank you."
She didn't know if it was the heat or the work, but she felt the man's face was a little red in the mist, but before she could take a closer look, he had already walked into the yard to chop wood. From the sound, she felt like he was venting, it was big and strong.
For some unknown reason, I scooped up some water and started to wash the curtains. Nowadays, curtains are made of embroidered Dacron and are easy to wash. Plus, the window is small so the water didn't make much difference.
After washing, put them outside to dry. Although they will freeze into clumps, after two or three days, you can bring them into the house and put them on the kang. This is how she dried her clothes before. It's really difficult.
Just when she finished drying one half and was about to start drying the other half, a big hand snatched her away. She looked at her hand and then at the tall figure that was leaving, and a few question marks floated over her head. But Lu's mother said, "Let Chuanzi dry your hands for you, don't come out and freeze your hands."
"Oh." Oh, it's not all stupid. It shows that he cares about girls.
But at this time, Lu's mother said, "Chuanzi, after you help Susu dry the curtains, go and call Yueyue over. She will live in this room from now on, so you should ask her how she likes to arrange and tidy it up. Go ahead."
Ruchuan nodded and left.
Su Su wiped her hands and thought, this is not what was said in the flashback, that the heroine should do the work. But that is not what Lu Mu said, she just asked her to come and see how to arrange the house, this is to respect her, after all, she is the bride and will live here in the future.
Besides, it was not her turn to do anything when so many people were working. They had already cleaned up almost everything, and by the time Ruchuan called the people over, it would have been almost done.
She didn't say much either, waiting to see how the heroine performs.
After about half an hour, the heroine finally arrived, looking aggrieved.
Ah, I really misunderstood.
If you think a person is bad or reject that person psychologically, you will never be able to get into her heart, so this is the situation of the heroine now. There are actually many shining points in Ruchuan, but she turns a blind eye to them.
For example, now, she was clearly protected when she came in, but when she saw the whole family busy with her, she frowned. Then, like a young wife who was being bullied, she asked her mother, "Auntie, what can I do?"
Instead of asking what happened, you asked directly what could be done. This is clearly a misunderstanding.
But Lu Mu and his family were simple old farmers who didn't notice the hidden meaning of her words and just said, "Come into the house and take a look." They meant to let her go into the house and see if there was anything that needed to be cleaned up or changed.
Then the heroine went into the house, looked around, picked up the broom and swept the floor a few times, but ended up getting her hand cut.
Su Su felt that she and she were probably from the same group, both of them were the kind of people who were lazy and didn't know the difference between farmland and food.
"Are you okay? You don't have to sweep anymore since we've already swept the floor." Su Su grabbed the broom, but found that the heroine was secretly crying. Was this for her to see?
"I, I really don't know what to do, and I don't know how to clean the house. What should I do now?" Qin Yueyue whispered to Su Su.
Su Su knew that she had been thinking wrongly, but she had to explain this matter. She couldn't help but frown and said, "Qin Zhiqing, what are you talking about? The lady asked you to come here to see how to arrange the house and where to put the furniture, not to clean the house. Didn't you see that you have done everything you should do?" The voice was not too quiet, and the one who put the basin in the outer room must have heard it.
Although I don't know who put the pot there, it's good to pass on the message.
"Well, let them arrange it however they like. There's still work to do at the educated youth site. Everyone is having a meeting to discuss how to continue doing things that can help the village during their free time." Qin Yueyue was also good at judging people. She saw that Su Su was completely on the side of the Lu family, so she changed her tone.
Su Su said, "Oh, then just take a look. If you're not dissatisfied, tell Auntie and go back. Don't delay your meeting." After saying that, she turned around and left without paying any attention to the heroine. It's not that she hated her, but she felt that it was not worth it for the Lu family to be treated coldly by someone else.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Ruichuan standing outside the door with a gloomy face.
That's it. Others who heard it could pass on the message, but this person definitely wouldn't.
"I'll take you home." Li Chuan said and stood at the door waiting.
"I, it's not good for me to go back right after I arrived..." Qin Yueyue knew that she was able to hold on here thanks to the help of the Lu family, so it was not easy to offend these people.
"I'll take you back." Lichuan said again honestly.
Qin Yueyue had no choice but to go out reluctantly, and then said to her mother: "Brother Chuanzi said he would take me back, so I'll leave first."
