Chapter 28
Su Qingci tied up the cow and walked towards the educated youth site with the three fish.
This fish was given to her by Song Jingzhou.
She gave Song Jingzhou a Band-Aid and five cents.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Just now she thought the other party was going to hit her.
He didn't know what happened, but when he was casting the fishing rod, the hook got caught in his face.
Fortunately, this is a modified needle. If it really had a barbed hook...
I looked at the sky, ran through the small path, and went back to kill some fish and make some fish soup while it was still early.
"Woo woo woo~"
He paused.
Is someone crying?
He stuck his head out and looked behind the half-collapsed thatched house next to him.
"Chun Tao?"
Chen Chuntao was startled and quickly lowered her head to wipe her eyes with her sleeve.
"Su Zhiqing?"
"What's wrong with you? Why are you here alone in this remote place?"
Su Qingci didn't point it out, "Are you missing home?"
Chen Chuntao forced a stiff smile.
"I just miss home."
"I've been here for four years and haven't been back yet."
"The educated youth do have a holiday at the end of the year, but the food, drinks, and travel expenses are a considerable expense."
"Besides, my family is poor and may not even have a place for me to live."
Chen Chuntao felt very uncomfortable.
Everyone says that she has a good temper and doesn't fight or compete.
But even if you want to fight for it, you have to have the confidence.
Her parents are regular employees of a machinery factory. Her father earns 36.7 yuan a month, and her mother works in the cafeteria, earning 27 yuan a month.
It sounds like a dual-income family, but there is an older brother and younger brothers and sisters at home.
To raise four children, Dad had to give five yuan of his salary to his grandparents every month.
My grandmother's family sends me letters every few days saying they miss their daughter.
A family of six lived in a 20-square-meter staff dormitory, and life was very tight.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen have weak personalities and treat their children equally.
His timid and cautious look, with a worried look on his face, had a certain impact on the children below him.
After Chen Chuntao's eldest brother graduated, he used the family's savings over the years to find him an apprentice.
Seeing that he was already twenty-four or twenty-five years old and still had no partner, Shen's father and mother were so anxious that their mouths were full of blisters.
After much difficulty, I finally found a partner through an introduction. Although she is not very good-looking, she is also a temporary worker, and I heard that she can be converted to a regular employee after working for three years.
But where would they live after the wedding? The other party's parents also wanted more than a hundred yuan and 20 kilograms of grain coupons and a few feet of cloth coupons.
Looking at my parents who couldn't sleep all day because of worry, and my brother who seemed to be hesitant to say something.
Chen Chuntao took the initiative to sign up to go to the countryside.
In this way, the younger sister can move in and share a bunk bed with her younger brother, and her own room can be given to her older brother and sister-in-law.
And some of the subsidies for educated youth who went to the countryside can be used to support my parents' almost broken backbone.
But she didn't expect that going to the countryside would be so hard.
The open and covert struggles at the educated youth site made her feel suffocated.
A year ago, she couldn't stand everyone's ridicule and ran out alone in the rain.
I met Aunt Xiao who was quite enthusiastic about working with me.
Seeing that she was crying so hard, the other party kindly took her home, boiled water by the stove and let her take a bath.
That was the first warmth she received since she came to Gaotang Brigade.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hu rushed in when I was halfway through washing.
The sound of Aunt Xiao beating and scolding Xiao Hu attracted a lot of people to watch.
Looking at the guilty expressions of Aunt Xiao and Xiao Hu, Chen Chuntao could only bury her head and cry.
Master Xiao also hugged her and cried, saying he was sorry to her.
But the other person also meant well, how could she have the face to blame others? She could only sigh inwardly at her own miserable fate.
There were domineering comrades in the educated youth camp who oppressed him, and his own reputation was damaged.
Xiao Hu is also an honest and hardworking person.
After Aunt Xiao counseled her twice, Chen Chuntao married into the Xiao family.
But unexpectedly, this was another jump from one fire pit to another.
What about the Xiao family?
Xiao Hu has an older sister, Xiao Moli, who is already married.
A married brother, Xiao Long.
He also has an unmarried younger brother, Xiao Jian, and two younger sisters, Xiao Yuehua and Xiao Juxiang.
Xiao Long married Song Zaizhao from the same village and they already have a son and a daughter.
There are more than a dozen people in the family, big and small, and they are always quarreling and making a lot of noise.
Xiao Hu looks honest, but after getting married he finds out that not only honest men are suitable for living together.
The Xiao family is still ruled by the parents-in-law. Everyone has to listen to them in everything, and all resources are allocated by them.
Xiao Long is the eldest son and is loved by his father-in-law.
Xiao Jian is the youngest son and is spoiled by his mother-in-law.
The sister-in-law below is not easy to get along with, and Xiao Hu can't get a single word out of her even with three sticks.
All he did all day was work hard to earn work points, and he was always thinking about earning twelve work points.
He may not even know what his wife is doing at home now.
Don't tell family secrets to others, otherwise they will get distorted as they are passed around.
She was so uncomfortable being alone that she sneaked out to take a breath.
Su Qingci counseled Chen Chuntao for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she handed the fish in her hand, which was a little over three fingers wide, to her.
"Sister Chuntao, it's almost dark, let's go back quickly. Take this fish and make some soup!"
"No, no, how can I take your fish!"
"I appreciate your kindness, but forget about the fish. You can take it back!"
"Sister Chuntao, take it. You're so pregnant and you're lacking nutrition."
"If you don't eat it, the child will have to eat it too."
"You don't have to be polite to me, I still have more!"
"It's not much, just make some soup to get rid of the fishy smell."
Chen Chuntao couldn't refuse, thinking that the baby in her belly really needed nutrition.
I could only take it with a blushing face and many thanks.
I thought to myself that I would find an opportunity to repay this favor in the future.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Qingci took out a two-pound fish from the farm and hurried back to the educated youth site.
Luo Song was so happy looking at the fish in Su Qingci's hand.
"It's so good, so good, it makes me feel like I'm going to die."
"It's either bamboo shoots or bracken all day long. I haven't tasted anything fishy in a long time."
Li Li bumped him with her shoulder and said unhappily, "Go away, don't block me from killing the fish, or I'll eat it with you."
"I thought the omelets I had this morning were fed to the pigs!"
"Hahaha, that's right. I ate noodles the other day."
"Families with two working parents don't eat as well as you do, and you're still not satisfied."
"By the way, Qingci, where did you get this fish?"
Su Qingci didn't hide it, "I bought it from Song Jingzhou."
"He fishes every day, and he can't finish it all by himself."
Li Li's eyes lit up and she lowered her voice and said, "Then we can buy fish from him from time to time in the future?"
"We'll give you the money later. If you can buy fish in the future, we'll all split the bill."
"Yes, yes, you can't pay for it alone."
Chen Xiuxiang and Zhou Huijuan came in and saw Li Li killing fish, and the smile on their lips faded.
We have only been together for two days, and I want to see how they live and how I live.
Meng Changxiu even ran directly to the kitchen and asked them what they wanted to eat today.
After a while, some quarrels were heard.
"You are so capable, why don't you do it?"
Clang~
Feng Jianjun looked at Su Qingci who was washing the fish skillfully, and his eyes darkened.
Thinking of how Song Jingzhou often carried a fishing rod to herd cattle, his face became even uglier.
