Knowing that Zhuang Zhimeng hadn't suffered much hardship after going to the countryside, Qin Jiandang was relieved and told Zhuang Zhimeng that she could come to him if she needed anything in the future, and he would help her solve it.
Gao Shufen cooked the roe deer meat that Zhuang Zhimeng had brought, making it braised.
She also cooked a few home-style dishes, which Zhuang Zhimeng ate quite a bit of. Gao Shufen was very happy to see that Zhuang Zhimeng enjoyed the food.
After finishing her meal, Zhuang Zhimeng, worried that she would be keeping Uncle Qin and Aunt Gao from going to work in the afternoon, said goodbye and said she was going back to the village.
"You can come often in the future! We all look forward to your visits! We'll treat this place like your own home, Uncle Qin!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll come to see you whenever I have time."
Qin Jiandang and Gao Shufen also escorted Zhuang Zhimeng downstairs.
"Uncle! Aunt! You can go back now, I'm leaving!"
Zhuang Zhimeng walked a long way, then looked back and saw that Qin Jiandang and his wife were still there, so she quickly waved.
Back home, the chickens I had raised before had all grown up, and the yard was in chaos every day.
Seeing the yard full of chicken droppings, I thought I'd ask An Qingbai if he knew how to build a fence to enclose them.
Huh? When did I start thinking of An Qingbai every time something happened? Could it be that I... never mind! I haven't figured it out myself.
The captain came to tell Zhuang Zhimeng that the verdicts for Wang Laizi and Luo Qiuping were out.
Wang Laizi was sentenced to 15 years.
Because Wang Laizi couldn't provide any evidence that he had spent all the money he gave him, and there were no witnesses, Luo Qiuping refused to admit that she had given Wang Laizi money, so she was sentenced to three months in prison.
Zhuang Zhimeng had no objection to this result. If Luo Qiuping came to cause her trouble again, she would definitely not let her off the hook.
Zhuang Zhi dreamed that he would have another day off tomorrow and send some things to his family.
For the next three days, oxcarts can travel to town, making it convenient to get there.
Just then, Zhuang Zhimeng finished knitting the sweaters and made one for her parents, two older brothers, sister-in-law, younger brother, and two nephews.
Looking at the contents of the warehouse, I decided to send some food to my family. I took out 50 jin of rice and packed some mountain produce such as walnuts, chestnuts, and pine nuts, and then wrote a letter to my family.
These things are easy to explain; just say they were bought in the village, otherwise your family will definitely worry.
The next day, Zhuang Zhimeng took the package to the post office to mail it home, filled out the information, and handed it to the staff.
The staff told Zhuang Zhimeng that her package and letter happened to be there.
Zhuang Zhimeng took it and saw that it was sent from her family. Her family would send things to her at least twice a month, just in case she was suffering in the countryside.
When she got home, Zhuang Zhimeng opened the letters first. This time, in addition to the letter from her mother about the family situation, there were also letters from her nephews.
It was written crookedly on the paper:
"Auntie, we all miss you very much."
Last time you told Grandma to let you tease us, we were very happy.
We are now learning to recognize characters very diligently, and we have already learned quite a few. We will continue to work hard.
You should think of us too.
Ai your peace and safety.
Seeing Pingping and An'an's letters made Zhuang Zhimeng very happy, and she really missed her family.
Beijing, steel factory staff quarters.
"I wonder if Yaya has eaten enough. It's harvest time there, and I wonder if Yaya is tired."
Hao Caiyun received a letter from Zhuang Zhimeng about two weeks ago, saying that she was about to start preparing for the autumn harvest.
"You know our daughter, she'll never work herself to death, so don't worry about it, she keeps nagging me about it!"
"What's wrong with me nagging! My daughter has gone to the countryside to suffer, and I can't even say anything?"
"Okay, okay! You can say whatever you want."
"Hmph! I can't be bothered to talk to you. I need to figure out what to send to Yaya!"
Zhuang Zhimeng carefully put away the things sent from home and kept the letters safe.
She sent her family 100 yuan this time. She told them she had money, and they still sent her the money.
They also sent some long-lasting pastries, including pea flour cake and donkey roll, which Zhuang Zhimeng liked to eat.
Zhuang Zhi dreamed of going to the team leader to exchange jobs for something easier.
I asked Jiang Yanxia before, and her family would give her money and coupons, but not too much, so she continued to work as usual.
Zhuang Zhimeng brought 1 jin of brown sugar, 1 jin of white sugar, 1 bottle of liquor, and 1 pack of cigarettes to the brigade leader's house.
"Uncle Baogen, I'd like to switch to an easier job."
"You don't have many work points, and there won't be much food left at the end of the year. Will you have enough to eat?"
“I found a translation job, and I get paid every month, so I won’t go hungry.”
"Alright, then you can go and gather pig feed! Gathering pig feed is worth 3 work points a day. You're quite capable, young educated youth, you're already earning money so quickly."
