"Thank you. I didn't expect Lotus to get carsick, so I didn't prepare in advance."
Jiang Weizhou felt a little embarrassed.
He thinks Luan Huiying's family are all good people.
The last time we met, it was thanks to Luan Huiying's help, otherwise Hehua would have to face more rumors.
Jiang Weizhou peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Hehua's mouth for her to hold.
"I saw you guys were carrying so much luggage, are you going on a long journey?"
Jiang Weizhou noticed from the beginning that Gu Qingbei and Luan Huiying were both wearing military uniforms.
The temperament of the two men, especially after putting on military uniforms, is as straight as pine trees.
So I wondered in my heart whether the two were soldiers.
Luan Huiying didn't hide it and said directly: "Yes, my son and I are on vacation and will be taking the train back to the army this afternoon. My daughter-in-law and the children are coming to see us off."
Jiang Weizhou thought that this was indeed the case.
Looking at the two men in their neatly-ironed military uniforms, his eyes were filled with envy.
Anyone who can wear a military uniform is an extraordinary person.
Jiang Weizhou wanted to say something when the conductor on the bus squeezed in and started collecting money.
It also interrupted their conversation.
The ticket from the commune to the county town is 15 cents, and 30 cents to the city. Children are free.
Gu Qingbei took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to the ticket seller, then took the dime in change.
It is said that nowadays people try not to travel far if they can, and if they really cannot, they would rather walk than take a car.
It would be good enough for country people to earn a few cents a day from work points.
Even workers in the city only earn about one dollar a day.
All the money is spent on a car ride when going on a long trip.
The car went all the way to the main road and it wasn't shaking that much, it just stopped and started a lot and wasn't going very fast.
An hour later the car arrived at the county station.
We stopped for about twenty minutes before heading to the city.
It was already noon when we arrived in the city.
They didn't go to the state-owned restaurant to eat, but planned to go back to the slum and cook their own food, since there were pots, pans, and everything else there anyway.
When I got to the yard, I saw quite a lot of changes.
Green vegetables are planted in the flower bed in the middle, and they are now growing lush and green.
During lunch time, when I am not at work, I just eat something simple at home.
So several older women sat under a big tree in the yard and sewed shoe soles.
When I first saw Jiang Mengxue, I didn’t recognize her.
After all, it was winter when Jiang Mengxue lived here before, and her clothes were rather bulky.
Now she is wearing a short-sleeved long skirt, which is quite a change, especially with a child in her arms.
It was Jiang Mengxue who first called out, "Aunt Ma, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu, Aunt Wang, why are you all here?
The child in Aunt Wang's arms must be Jingjing's.
Only then did Aunt Ma confirm that it was really Jiang Mengxue who had returned.
He immediately stood up in surprise and said happily: "It's really you, Xiao Jiang, I almost didn't recognize you.
Calculating the time, your child is already one month old, right? "
As he said this, he looked at the child in Jiang Mengxue's arms.
The sun is quite bright outside.
Jiang Mengxue was worried that the baby would be exposed to the sun, so she covered it with a layer of gauze.
"Yes, the baby just turned one month old."
Seeing that they were chatting, Gu Qingbei brought the food into the house and prepared the meal.
Naturally, the aunts also saw Gu Qingbei and Luan Huiying.
Jiang Mengxue used to live here alone, and many people outside suspected that she had been cheated by a man.
After all, as a soldier, his vacation is usually only ten days to half a month, but the last time Gu Qingbei took vacation was almost a month.
The son of the Niu family, who also lives in the yard, hasn't had a vacation for many years.
I took a vacation a few years ago, which lasted only about a week. I hurried back and left with my wife and children.
It was said that there was only a half-month vacation, and half of it was spent on the road.
Then how come Gu Qingbei was able to come back and stay for such a long time? Could it be that he is not a soldier at all and is just deliberately deceiving young girls?
Fortunately, when the two got married, quite a few people came, and it was obvious that they were not simple people.
This dispelled the doubts about Gu Qingbei's identity.
Later, Luan Huiying also came back to see Jiang Mengxue and stayed in the yard for a few days.
After getting to know each other, everyone stopped thinking about it that way.
Jiang Mengxue naturally didn't know what people outside thought, since no one came to ask her anyway.
The house has not been lived in for a long time and is very dusty.
Gu Qingbei went back to do some simple cleaning first, and Jiang Mengxue would bring the baby back later.
"Have the aunts been free lately? Didn't you go get some matchbox paste?"
After all, when it is not busy, everyone will take the job of pasting matchboxes.
Although I don’t earn much, I still make a few cents a day.
All in all, it’s enough for my food expenses for a day.
Aunt Ma shook her head and said with a sad face, "There is no work at all now. Even if there is work, it is distributed to those who receive the five guarantees or those who are struggling to make ends meet.
For families like ours with several workers, at least life is not that difficult.
But the daughter-in-law of the Cao family next door to you has taken a job making clothes for others.
I am now several months pregnant and spend the whole day at home making clothes for others.
I heard that this piece of clothing can be sold for one or two dollars.
I can earn at least ten yuan a month.
Even if they are not as good as the workers working in the factory, they are much better than those of us who have nothing to do at home.
Now, Li Xiuying's attitude towards her young daughter-in-law has become much better.
I don't know why, but Cao family's daughter-in-law Su Mo's temper has indeed improved a lot now.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law no longer quarrel all the time like when they first got married.
The daughter-in-law is quite filial to her mother-in-law."
When Su Moer first got married, she had a very bad temper. She was never in a good mood towards her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Later, after he knocked his head, everything was fine. Even he and Cao Feiyang became much gentler when they were together.
Jiang Mengxue certainly knew what was going on.
At first, she suspected that Su Mo was pretending to have amnesia?
Now that I think about it, it’s possible that I really don’t remember anything from my previous life.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult for someone to pretend to be good-tempered for several months.
"I see the Cao family's door is tightly closed. Is there no one home?"
As soon as this question was asked, Jiang Mengxue noticed that the expressions of several people present changed.
It’s not that I’m unhappy, it’s just that I feel a little bit overwhelmed.
Jiang Mengxue really couldn't understand it for a moment.
What's that expression on their faces?
So should she continue asking?
In the end, it was Aunt Liu who lived next door to her who answered her.
Aunt Liu approached Jiang Mengxue with a mysterious look on her face and whispered, "The Cao family has been in bad luck recently.
You know Dai Lan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family. She was a worker in a textile factory before she married Boss Cao.
This job was passed down to her by her mother.
His mother gave birth to a younger brother when he was in his teens, and since then her health has been poor and she has been unable to endure hardship.
So when Dai Lan was sixteen, the job was given to her.
You don't know, this job wasn't given to her at all, it was just temporarily allowed for her to go to work."
