Chapter 17 Chu Hong's House
Before Zhong Guobing left, everyone said behind his back that the captain's family was stupid. He could become a cadre after graduating from university, so how could he still be with Chu Hong.
Especially since Chu Hong’s household registration cannot follow him, and she will just have to eat for free if she moves to the city. Will her in-laws agree?
Besides, even if you go to the city, you can only stay there for ten days or half a month at most, otherwise you will be arrested and sent to labor reform.
Therefore, when everyone heard that Chu Hong went to find Zhong Guobing, they all thought that she was asking for humiliation and were waiting to see her come back in disgrace.
Some people still think: So what if she is the captain’s daughter? Wasn't it because she was abandoned by a man?
Even if she wants to get married again in the future, she can only find an old bachelor who can't afford a wife, or a widower whose wife has died.
Who could have thought that Chu Hong would come back in such glory, with not only five tractors but also two sacks of good stuff.
Although I don’t know what good stuff there is, just seeing that they are willing to give out candies so generously, I know there are a lot of good stuff.
Everyone can't help but look fascinated, it turns out that divorce is so cost-effective?
I was thinking about going back to the educated youth site to see if I could find any promising young people.
Chu Hong's family members were worried that she was just trying to save face, so she acted so calmly. After eating the egg noodles, Wu Xiu said to her daughter, "You must be tired after going out for a few days. Rest at home for a few days."
"I'm fine. Besides, I'm in charge of the warehouse and it's not tiring." Chu Hong wanted to take the opportunity to chat with more people and find out some information while going to work.
In her previous life, her adoptive mother also took her mother's surname Chu. It is said that her adoptive mother's biological mother's family was also a scholarly family, but they were all sent down to the countryside in the 1960s.
I heard that my grandmother's family members all died of illness one after another, and she became a child bride in another family. A few years later, she only gave birth to a daughter and was disliked by her in-laws.
Fortunately, life got better after more than ten years. My grandmother took my adoptive mother to the city and started a small business, and finally they were able to gain a foothold.
Unfortunately, my grandmother died early due to fear and frailty as a child.
The adoptive mother and her husband were very loving and gave birth to a son after marriage. Unfortunately, both the adoptive father and the son died in a car accident. The adoptive mother stayed alone for many years and was unwilling to get married. Finally, she went to an orphanage to adopt her.
Generally speaking, most people like to adopt boys, or younger children who are still young and can't remember much.
She was already seven years old at that time and was sensible enough.
When her foster mother came, she was riding and spanking the little boy who stole her eggs. Instead of thinking she was rude, her foster mother thought she was brave and a little fierce.
Knowing that she didn't like her original name, I named her Chu Hong.
His surname is Chu and his given name is Hong.
And now, she has become a divorced woman with the surname Song and the name Chu Hong?
Chu Hong regretted that when she listened to her adoptive mother talking about things in the 1960s and 1970s, she just treated it as a story and didn't take it seriously at all.
Now I don’t know where to find the Chu family members who were demoted.
I took the opportunity to listen to everyone's gossip while at work.
Old Man Song also reminded his granddaughter: "Remember to bring the black cat with you. There is still a lot of grain in the warehouse. Be careful not to be destroyed by mice."
The public grain that should be paid has been paid, and the team members have been given. Now there are only some rice bran in the warehouse, and some corn, soybeans, etc. reserved for seeds.
Of course, the number was recorded before it was collected. If there was less, it would be Chu Hong's responsibility.
Then there are some farm tools.
Rakes and plows are considered valuable farm tools, as well as bamboo sieves, sieves, tall winnowing baskets, baskets, straw baskets, rice buckets, and wind-blown carts.
These are all in the warehouse. You have to go to the warehouse to get them when you need them, and return them after use. Chu Hong is the warehouse manager.
This job is indeed easy, as long as she remembers everything. However, the work points are few, four points a day, which is not enough for her to eat.
Old man Song, on the other hand, although he is already 65 years old, still goes to work and can earn eight work points.
Song Laonian and Wu Xiu also did the easy work and could only earn four work points a day.
Fortunately, Song Youliang is the team leader and can get full work points, plus subsidies, so he can support his family.
"Okay, I'll remember that." Chu Hong said, then she realized that someone was missing from her family: "Where's Chu Dan?"
She didn't know what her stepmother was thinking. The eldest sister was named Song Chutong, she was named Song Chuhong, and the youngest sister was Song Chudan. These names for the daughters all meant red.
Two years ago, that little girl followed those classmates and wore a red armband, but was taken home by her father and forced to work in the fields with her grandmother and others.
The main thing is that their team has only about 40 households and 300 people. Song Youliang, the team leader, is the one in charge, and the jobs of scorers and warehouse managers under him are also considered good jobs.
But Song Youliang had previously asked Chu Hong to work in the warehouse, so he had no time to take care of his younger daughter, who could only go to the fields to work.
Mrs. Song looked at her son and said, "The third girl went with you this morning, why didn't she come back with you?"
Song Youliang felt a little guilty: "She said she was going to her classmate's house, but I don't know where her classmate is. She will come back by herself later."
The main reason was that he was so emotionally upset when he saw the second girl coming back that he forgot about his youngest daughter.
Wu Xiu rolled her eyes at her husband and went to boil some water for her daughter. "Go pack up first and put away those valuables, or your sister will take them away and you won't have time to cry."
"I'll boil some water for you, you can take a shower later."
Chu Hong responded and took the opportunity to look around the Song family.
It is a very ordinary farmyard, with a half-person-high fence surrounding the yard, covered with loofah, pumpkin and winter melon vines. The gate is also a bamboo fence, which is designed to protect against kind people but not villains.
The three rooms on the front are neatly arranged large tiled houses, all built with mud bricks commonly seen in the countryside, so they are warm in winter and cool in summer.
There is a low thatched house on each side, one side is the toilet and chicken coop, and the other side is piled with straw and wood for burning.
Unfortunately, each family can only raise three chickens now, which is a waste of a large chicken coop.
The three rooms are separated by front and back. The back of the room on the left is where my grandparents live, and the front is the kitchen and the old square table.
The room in the middle has Chu Dan’s room in the front and his parents’ room in the back.
Chu Hong lives in the back of the room on the right, and in front of it are two large cabinets for storing grain in the corner.
Unfortunately, there is not so much food to be packed now, so I just put away some quilts, mattresses and other miscellaneous items.
There was an old bunk bed, a wardrobe and a low table in Chu Hong's small room.
She sighed after reading it. It was really simple.
This was still considered spacious, and it was only after she got married that Chu Dan was allowed to move into her parents' room.
She gave her grandmother the tickets and money that were about to expire, asking her to use them as soon as possible.
She put the remaining money and bills into a small iron can, then climbed up a wooden ladder and put it on the beam.
The food was placed in the rattan box on the wardrobe, and the clothes and other things were washed with hot water before being put away.
