Sheng An Ning was still sitting at the small dining table, drinking water from a bowl. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the envelope suddenly appear in front of her. She wanted to reach out to take it, but then she thought of the original owner's personality. She snorted coldly and continued to drink water with her eyes lowered, not intending to pay attention to Zhou Shixun.
Zhou Shixun sat down opposite Sheng Anning, put the envelope on the table and pushed it in front of Sheng Anning: "Here are some food coupons and some money. I was too anxious just now. I'm sorry."
Sheng An Ning was a little surprised. It is said that in this era, especially in places like the northwest, male chauvinism is very serious.
It was rare for Zhou Shixun to take the initiative to apologize. He said calmly with a stern face: "I just can't bear to see a child suffer. If it were an adult, who would care whether she lived or died."
I really want to say in a proud manner, take the money and food coupons back, I don’t want them.
But when she thought about the fact that the original owner had only left behind a few dollars and ten kilograms of provincial grain coupons, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. If she wanted to live a good life in this era, she needed both money and grain coupons!
Seeing that Sheng An Ning did not refuse, Zhou Shixun said thank you, then silently cleared the dishes on the table and took them to wash the dishes.
It was not until Zhou Shixun left for work that Sheng Anning picked up the envelope and poured out the food coupons and money inside. There were actually twenty-five yuan, fifty kilograms of food coupons, and a thin little notebook.
Sheng An Ning studied it and found that the small notebook seemed to be Zhou Shixun's ration book. With this book, he could go to the designated grain store to get white flour and cooking oil, but the supply was limited every month.
She looked up with some excitement and saw that there were still 25 kilograms of white flour that she had not received this month. If she got the white flour, could she eat white flour buns?
Sheng An Ning carefully looked at these food coupons and old-style money that were very unfamiliar to her, and put them away carefully. When she saved enough money, she would divorce Zhou Shixun and leave here.
Although it is somewhat despicable to take advantage of Zhou Shixun, I can give him half of the money when I make it. Besides, it will also delay Zhou Shixun if two people without feelings are tied together for a lifetime.
Sheng An Ning found an excuse for her meanness, then got up and went back to her room without any burden in her heart and began to organize the original owner's things.
The original owner came from a well-off family and seemed to have never suffered any hardship. She didn't like going to school but had a love-minded mind. She even left behind a diary with childish handwriting like that of an elementary school student, which recorded her love affair with a boy.
The last page reads: Cheng Gang, wait for me, you are the lover I want to be with for the rest of my life.
Sheng An Ning felt a headache after reading a few pages, so she stuffed the diary into the box and tidied up the room. The only advantage of the original owner might be that she loved cleanliness and beauty.
After tidying up the room, Sheng An Ning put on a red cotton coat and prepared to go to the grain station to get flour and familiarize herself with the surrounding environment.
See if he can find some way to make money. If conditions permit, Sheng Anning still hopes to go to school and do what he likes.
When she went out wearing a long white wool scarf, she saw a few women standing on the roadside not far away chatting. When they saw Sheng An Ning go out, they immediately stopped talking and looked over.
Sheng An Ning knew that these people would definitely talk about her when they had nothing to do, and she was not going to say hello to them. Any big change would easily arouse suspicion.
He pulled his scarf to cover his mouth and nose and walked past a group of women with an expressionless face.
As soon as Sheng An Ning walked away, several women immediately gathered together to discuss: "I heard that it was Sheng An Ning who saved Shan Zi at noon?"
"Yes, I saw it all at the window."
"Can she be kind enough to save people? She looked so arrogant before. Is she planning to make trouble with Captain Zhou again?"
"Captain Zhou shouldn't have married this woman. It's better to marry Dr. Xiao than this woman. Look how well-matched Dr. Xiao and Captain Zhou are."
"Not really. I heard from my husband that Captain Zhou had a girlfriend before, and this time he married Sheng Anning to repay a favor."
"I heard about it, too. They are from the same village and have a very good relationship. The girl sends Captain Zhou shoes and sweaters every year."
Sheng An Ning walked for a while and remembered that she should take a flour bag, otherwise what to put the flour in. When she turned back, she heard these words and couldn't help but add: "So, isn't Zhou Shixun Chen Shimei?"
It was because these women were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Sheng An Ning returning.
A voice suddenly came out, and several people were startled. They turned around and saw Sheng An Ning standing behind them with a smile, and they became embarrassed instantly.
Sheng An Ning looked at them deeply, went home to get the bag of flour and left again.
However, these women's ability to judge right from wrong really opened her eyes. Come to think of it, these women will be the backbone of important intelligence and information sources at the entrance of the village or community in the future.
The family compound is not too far from the town, and it takes half an hour to walk there.
Sheng An Ning looked at the ice and snow that had not yet melted in the fields, and the desolate hills in the distance. Apart from the cold air, the place was simply too desolate.
My heart also became desolate and I walked towards the town with a sigh.
The town was more lively than Sheng Anning had imagined. The afternoon sun was warm and there were many people on the street, including some selling things on carts.
Sheng An Ning looked around. The town was not big, with only one state-owned restaurant. There were stalls selling noodles and sesame cakes on the street, but there was not much business. The owner was dozing off in front of the stall.
There was no snack shop, only a cart selling melon seeds, candies and pastries. Judging from the color of the pastries, you couldn't tell how long they had been stored.
There are shuttle buses to the city and county next to the post office. The bus to the county runs once a day, departing in the morning and returning in the afternoon. The bus to the city runs once every three days.
After observing everything, Sheng An Ning felt even colder. In such an environment, how much ability did she have to change her current living conditions?
He went to the grain station to get flour with a bag in his hand, feeling depressed. Afraid that he couldn't carry 25 kilograms of flour, he got 10 kilograms first.
I came out of the grain station carrying ten kilograms of flour, thinking about finding a way to go to the county town.
Sheng An Ning didn't notice that someone touched his shoulder. He frowned, took two steps, felt something was wrong, and quickly touched his pocket.
The grain book and five dollars inside are gone!
Sheng An Ning suddenly became angry. She was so poor, but someone dared to steal her money. She picked up the flour bag and chased after the person who bumped into her.
She remembered that it was a young man wearing a gray hat and dark blue clothes who bumped into her.
When the thief saw someone chasing him, he felt guilty and ran away.
Sheng An Ning was not sure at first, but now seeing the panic-stricken back, she was certain that this was the person who stole her money.
When I thought of the five huge sums of money, my feet started to move faster and my whole body was filled with strength.
"Captain, isn't that my sister-in-law?"
Zhou Shixun and Ge Dazhuang came to the post office to pick up things from the company. As soon as they walked out of the post office, they saw a red shadow running past them.
Without anyone around him reminding him, he recognized that it was Sheng An Ning.
It was just a little hard to believe that this woman who ran like a gust of wind with a bag of noodles on her back was really Sheng An Ning? ?
