Her big eyes were so bright and clear that Lu Xiao felt his heart burning when he saw her looking at him. He looked away again and hummed.
Although his house was shabby, it could still shelter her from the wind and rain, so she could go if she wanted to.
The curve of Jiang Wanwan's lips became even bigger. She pushed the suitcase to him without any hesitation, and hung the net bag containing the washbasin, rice bowl and toiletries on him. She only carried a thermos.
Lu Xiao: “…”
In a blink of an eye, his shoulders and hands were full of things, like a shelf.
Jiang Wanwan pushed his shoulder and turned him in a different direction, pointing her little hand forward: "Let's go."
The man took a step forward after hearing the command, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it. When you looked again, you could see that he was walking in the wrong direction.
Jiang Wanwan almost laughed out loud.
Because of his background, no one was willing to marry their daughter to Lu Xiao, even if the man had outstanding appearance.
In this era, background issues are more important than anything else. They not only affect individuals but also future generations. As a result, 27-year-old Lu Xiao is still single.
At his age, he is considered an old man in this era, but for Jiang Wanwan, he is just right.
…………
When I got home, it was already time to go to work in the afternoon.
Lu Xiao put his things down, drank a ladle of cold water, and told Jiang Wanwan, "Don't go to work this afternoon. I'll do your part."
After saying that, he stuffed two round things into her hands and turned to walk out the door.
Jiang Wanwan looked at the boiled egg in her hand in surprise, and when she looked up again, the person was gone.
The egg was still hot, and it felt cozy in my palm, and I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my lips.
Little did they know that there was another person with the same curled lips.
Lu Xiao really wanted to tell himself that Jiang Wanwan came to him because she had nowhere else to go, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Thinking that her and her things were now in his territory, Lu Xiao felt a surge of anger in his heart. He couldn't help it and ran away.
Li Ergou was walking to work under the scorching sun when he suddenly felt a figure blowing past with a gust of wind.
Looking at the figure again, he felt somewhat familiar and shouted, "Brother Xiao, why are you running? The bell just rang, it's not too late."
Lu Xiao ignored the shouting behind him. What did he know? It wasn't too late, but he had to work two jobs today.
Her share also belonged to him.
Because of their bad background, the Lu family members were assigned to work in the place farthest from the village, which was also the most difficult work.
Li Ergou's family and Lu's family are a team.
Li Ergou's three generations have been poor. His father passed away early, leaving him and his old mother in poor health to live.
This kid has always disliked dogs and cats. Every time the team leader assigns him a job, he gets the leftovers from others. Eight out of ten times, he gets to work next to Lu Xiao, who has a bad background.
Li Ergou didn't care. As long as he could be with Brother Xiao, he was willing to do any tiring work.
But today he was a little frustrated.
Brother Xiao next to him was waving a hoe. In just a short while, he had done most of the work on his field and had no intention of taking a break.
Sweat slid down the man's cheeks, and his vest was stuck to his body due to the sweat. More sweat flowed down his neck and chest and penetrated deep into the vest.
"Gulp"
Li Ergou swallowed his saliva.
Brother Xiao is worthy of being Brother Xiao, he is so awesome. Look at myself, I haven’t even finished a quarter of the afternoon tasks.
"Brother Xiao, when you're done, help me with something."
Li Ergou came forward and said shamelessly.
"Anyway, the captain won't let you go back if you finish too early."
Lu Xiao didn't stop swinging his hoe and glanced at him. "Stay aside, I still have work to do."
"You only have a few hoes left to do. How about we switch? I didn't have enough for lunch today, so I can't even swing the hoe. I'll help you next time after I've had a full meal."
Lu Xiao swung the hoe at Li Ergou's feet, scaring him so much that he thought the hoe was going to hit his instep and jumped high.
Then the man said, "I have to finish her work in a while, you can do your own work slowly."
Although there was no name or surname, only the name "her", Li Ergou actually understood it.
Why do I feel full suddenly?
…………
Jiang Wanwan was not idle after Lu Xiao left. She cleaned up the house and sorted out her things.
The original owner had a lot of clothes, including the currently popular cotton clothes with small floral and plaid patterns, green military suits, and several pieces of Dacron clothes.
Even though people in later generations pursue pure cotton and silk, most people don't dare to ask about Dacron nowadays. This is because light industry is underdeveloped nowadays, and these are considered high-end and rare fabrics.
Let me put it this way, in the city now, a decent coat can cost a worker a month's salary.
There was actually a skirt at the bottom of the box, but it was obvious that the skirt had not been moved for a long time.
I understand that this is a rural area after all. If you dress fancy, you will inevitably be accused of bourgeois sentiment. Even cheongsams are considered "four olds" now. It will be fine after a while.
When Jiang Wanwan was packing up at the educated youth camp, she saw the calendar and realized that it was already September 1976. In another month, the situation would change.
After packing her clothes and picking up her quilt, Jiang Wanwan felt troubled.
They slept on a kang at home, which was quite large, and there was only one quilt for Lu Xiao.
It was a thin layer of coarse cotton quilt with patches on it, but it was quite clean and had the unique smell of a man. She smelled it in the morning and it was very special and pleasant.
Looking at the thin quilt on the bed, Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but think of the scene of making love last night. The two of them actually tossed and turned in such a small quilt for most of the night.
