Chapter 68: Homecoming Goods
The heavy snow was flying, and the sky and the earth were covered with white.
Such weather does not prevent people from visiting each other and chatting.
The most talked-about thing in Lingxia Village was that Chu Tong got 200 yuan after the divorce, took her daughter back to her parents' home, and took over Chu Hong's job.
Some people think that Secretary Song is a good person and will support his daughter. Chu Tong still has money, strength and a job, so she won't be a burden to her parents' family.
Some people also think that divorce brings disgrace upon one's reputation, and that a woman's role after marriage is to take care of her husband and children, and that it is inappropriate to divorce just because she is beaten a few times.
However, out of consideration for Secretary Song, he did not dare to say much.
At home, Chu Hong explained to her elder sister how to record work points and do accounting, and then she read the brochure herself.
You should do your job well. As the director of the Women's Affairs Bureau, you should always be clear about what you are doing.
Warming up the fire basin, eating peanuts and soybeans roasted in the fire basin, and drinking a few sips of brown sugar water is the best treatment you can enjoy now.
As soon as Chu Tong returned home, there was one more woman gathering around the stove, so Chu Hong no longer had to help.
Chu Hong knew that her elder sister had just returned home, so if she was asked to do more work and let her show her value, she would feel more comfortable and would not rush to do the work at all.
It just so happened that she didn't like hanging around the stove, so she was secretly happy and even asked Xiao Yuer to come and write next to her.
After the ergot was wrapped, she brought seven to Lao Chu and the others, and said to Chu Chu: "My little Yu'er is back too, and there's no one to play with her. Can you come with me to play with her?"
Chuchu was very excited and looked at her grandparents.
Grandma Chu asked, "There are many people visiting your house these past two days. Will it disturb you?"
Chu Hong understood her concerns: "It's okay, I'll let them write and warm themselves in my room."
Grandma Chu told her granddaughter: "Then Chuchu, you have to listen to your sister."
The Song family is warmer than her own home, and no outsiders will enter Chu Hong's room. The granddaughter can get more familiar with Xiao Yuer and have a companion.
Grandma Jia was reluctant to finish it all at once, so she ate the ergot in small bites and asked her, "I heard that the reservoir will start construction on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Do we have to help?"
Chu Hong looked at them and said, "I'll ask my dad to talk to the captain and let you work in the village."
When Lao Jin heard this, he was delighted: "That's great. Going to the reservoir is too hard work. We are old and we are really worried that we can't handle it."
Things are different now than before. If you are sick, you can have a private doctor come to your home.
They were afraid of getting sick. Even though Lao Jia was a good doctor, she didn't have any medicinal herbs with her. Good medicinal herbs were very valuable. For example, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were so expensive that even Chu Hong and the others were powerless to get them.
Grandpa Chu asked worriedly, "I heard that people from the other two villages couldn't make it and died?"
They don't stay at home all the time. They have to feed the three cows in the village and shovel cow dung every day.
The three cows are also the collective property of the village and the main labor force after the spring. People often come to check on the cows, fearing that they will mistreat the cows.
After a while, everyone became familiar with each other and could speak conversationally.
They also learned that some of the people who were sent down to the other two villages could not survive, and they couldn't help feeling sympathetic after hearing this.
Chu Hong explained to them: "Someone was sick, didn't get medical treatment in time, didn't eat well, and caught a cold, so he died."
"Just live peacefully, and tell me if anyone is causing trouble."
To put it bluntly, I am depressed and worried. I feel like I can't live like this anymore and I have lost the desire to live.
The reason they were able to hold on was not only because I often gave them special treatment, but also because the village was peaceful and no one bullied them.
Besides, except for Grandma Jia, everyone else has children to take care of, and they dare not die.
After comforting them for a while, he took Chuchu's little hand and left.
It snowed heavily for two days and three nights before it finally stopped and the sun came out.
It is said that it is not cold when it snows, but when the snow melts. In this weather, except for a few people who like to visit friends, everyone is staying at home, warming themselves by the fire, enjoying the rare leisure time before spring ploughing.
However, the educated youth who went back home did not dare to delay their return, otherwise they would be treated as vagrants and taken to a quarry to mine stones.
After Zhang Jianming got out of the car, he saw the thick snow and his heart sank. However, he could only walk to Lingshang Village one step at a time.
Fortunately, he got off the train in the early morning, but the road was covered with snow and the car drove very slowly. Even if he took the earliest bus back, it was already past two o'clock when he arrived in town.
He didn't dare to delay and quickened his pace.
Fortunately, he was wearing wellies, as walking in the thick snow was extremely tiring.
But he was lucky. After walking for a while, he actually saw Secretary Su driving a ox cart coming from behind.
He hurriedly called out, "Secretary Su, can you give me a ride?"
In order to be able to go back, he specially bought two kilograms of glutinous rice noodles for him, and only then was he successfully issued a letter of introduction for him to go home for medical treatment.
Secretary Su smiled and nodded: "Zhang Zhiqing is back? Look at you with so many bags, hurry up and get in the car."
When the ox cart came over, Zhang Jianming saw that there was a thick layer of straw at the back, and Su Jinxiang was wearing a long old cotton-padded jacket and leaning on Secretary Su's back.
However, Su Jinxiang, who had covered her head with an old cotton-padded jacket, now looked at him with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you are finally back."
I wish I could see through things so I can know what good things he brought back.
"Your family is so nice to you that they let you bring back so many things."
Then he asked with a natural smile: "Did you bring me any local products?"
Zhang Jianming hated himself for being blind and not noticing that Su Jinxiang was there too.
If he had known earlier, he would rather walk back.
I feel like I'm on a pirate ship, and I'm so restless that I want to jump off.
But when he thought about how long he would be here, he didn't dare to offend Secretary Su, so he could only smile and take out a handful of candy from his pocket and hand it to her: "Please have some candy."
I would rather die than have a friend die. At the critical moment, he asked Gu Ci to take the blame for him: "I don't have so much. That big bag was brought to him by Gu Ci's father."
"Gu Ci won't be going home for the New Year, and his father is really missing him."
"Uncle Gu said he wanted to come see him in person, but Uncle Gu is the director of the internal medicine department in the hospital, so he is really indispensable."
"Just let me bring some food to Gu Ci."
He also knew that Su Jinxiang was interested in him.
It was rare that Su Jinxiang was young and beautiful, and her family was well-off in the village, so he really had some thoughts about her.
But what’s too much is that she also found Gu Ci very interesting when she saw him.
This really annoyed him. He felt that if it really worked, he would be able to have horses running on his forehead. His original little thoughts disappeared in an instant.
So he always avoided her.
What's more, when I went back last year, his parents said they were trying to find a way to buy him a job so that he could go back sooner or later.
Therefore, he was even more unwilling to let Su Jinxiang bother him.
Just praise Gu Ci to the sky.
In fact, what he said was half true and half false.
