Qin Hongxia didn't think there was anything wrong yet, so she turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan: "Doctor Xiao, let An Ning take a look at the wool you just bought. You young people should have the same vision. Let An Ning knit a sweater for Xiao Zhou as well."
Sheng An Ning suddenly had an idea. Xiao Yan might have bought the wool to knit a sweater for Zhou Shixun. She watched Qin Hongxia talking there with some interest.
Things having come to this, Xiao Yan could only open the cloth bag and let Sheng An Ning see it.
Qin Hongxia enthusiastically pulled out a handful of wool and held it in front of Sheng Anning: "Look, this wool costs seven or eight yuan per pound in the supply and marketing cooperative, but it's cheaper at five yuan per pound at the market. I think it's pure wool. It would be so nice to knit a sweater for Xiao Zhou with this color."
Sheng An Ning didn't know how to answer, so she smiled fakely: "It's pretty, but I'm not good at it, so I'm afraid it will ruin the yarn."
Qin Hongxia waved her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? I'll teach you. Come on, come on. If you don't have enough money, I have some here."
This sentence blocked all the words Sheng An Ning wanted to say.
Sheng An Ning could only be pushed by Qin Hongxia towards the place where wool was sold. Finally, she thought that she might not be able to leave here for a while, so she might as well knit a sweater for Zhou Shixun as a thank you gift.
Qin Hongxia could see Sheng Anning's thoughts. She felt that it was not easy for Zhou Shixun to find a wife, so she must keep her if she could. She tried to persuade Sheng Anning as they walked: "I know you don't think highly of our place, but it will definitely get better in the future. Besides, if Xiao Zhou's work performance is good in the next two years, he can be promoted. You can't hold him back at this time."
Then he sighed, "It's not easy for Xiao Zhou to come out of the countryside. Now that you're married, you must live a good life."
Sheng An Ning listened to Qin Hongxia's repeated advice and suddenly thought of a problem: there are very few people getting divorced in this era.
Divorce is an extremely shameful thing for both men and women.
It even became a work style issue that would affect Zhou Shixun's future and reputation, but she didn't care about her reputation. At worst, she could just move to another city.
But will this have any impact on Zhou Shixun?
Xiao Yan and Zhang Yimei walked behind the two of them, watching Qin Hongxia holding Sheng An Ning's arm and muttering to herself, feeling a little indignant.
At Qin Hongxia's instigation, Sheng An Ning bought three kilograms of navy blue wool, which cost her fifteen yuan at once, making her feel distressed for a long time.
Finally, they went to buy meat again. Qin Hongxia strongly recommended Sheng Anning and he bought two pounds of pork belly for one dollar.
The twenty-five yuan Zhou Shixun gave me yesterday was reduced to nine yuan in an instant.
Sheng An Ning, who had always spent money lavishly and without restraint, felt extremely painful at this moment and deeply realized what it meant to spend money carelessly.
I was even more anxious and had to become independent as soon as possible.
On the way back, Qin Hongxia was in a good mood, mainly because Sheng An Ning's performance today made her happy, which meant that her marriage with Zhou Shixun could still be saved.
Although everyone in the family compound knew that Zhou Shixun had married a little concubine, no one thought that the two would divorce because they would never think of this at all.
No matter whether it is free love or arranged marriage, there is no divorce around me. No matter how reluctant they are at the beginning, they will accept their fate and live their life after having children.
Qin Hongxia quite liked the young man Zhou Shixun and had thought of introducing her niece to him. However, she gave up the idea when she heard that he already had a girlfriend in his hometown.
Later, Zhou Shixun married Sheng Anning. Qin Hongxia still felt that Zhou Shixun must have abandoned his country girl and married the city girl Sheng Anning, and she was quite dissatisfied with Zhou Shixun.
When he saw that Zhou Shixun and his wife were living a mess, he felt a little soft-hearted and took the initiative to help mediate.
Now, we can see that the young couple are showing some signs of living a good life. When Sheng An Ning gives birth to a child, they will be able to live a stable life.
Sheng An Ning didn't know why Qin Hongxia was so happy along the way. After feeling sorry for the money, she started thinking about how to make more money.
I plan to have a good talk with Zhou Shixun in the evening.
It was already past noon when I got home. The fire was burning brightly and there was a lunch box on the small dining table. It was obvious that Zhou Shixun had come back at noon.
Sheng An Ning felt more and more that this dull man was very considerate. It turned out that being able to live a good life with him was actually quite good.
The lunch box contains half white rice and half fried cabbage, with three pieces of pork ribs on top, which are bright red and attractive.
Sheng An Ning was a little surprised. Why was the food in Zhou Shixun’s company cafeteria so good?
While the rice was heating up on the stove, Qin Hongxia came over with a sweater and smiled. She looked at the food in the lunch box and was a little surprised: "Is this what Xiao Zhou sent back?"
Sheng An Ning was a little embarrassed: "Well, it should have been delivered at noon."
Qin Hongxia nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. They have dinner together once a week, and there are standards for how much food each person gets. My wife has never been willing to bring it back for me."
Sheng An Ning was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it open to eat?"
Qin Hongxia laughed: "Silly girl, there are so many people in the whole unit, how much does it cost to eat as much as you want? There must be a fixed amount, and who doesn't have a wife, children and elderly? If everyone takes it home like this, how much will it cost?"
Sheng An Ning never thought that it would be so difficult to eat just a plain bowl of white rice and two pieces of pork ribs.
Qin Hongxia sighed: "It has been much better in the past two years. In the past few years, we didn't even have the qualifications to come here, and our lives were hard."
Then he smiled and said, "But now everything is good. The family can be reunited, we can eat meat during festivals, and those who know how to live can eat white flour and rice every day."
Sheng An Ning always felt that after 1977, life was not so hard anymore, but she didn't expect that eating free noodles every day was still a luxury in some places.
Zhou Shixun sent his portion of the meal back. Does that mean he won't have anything to eat? I don't know why, but my eyes are hot.
Qin Hongxia glanced around, her eyes passed over the small bed against the wall, and she smiled again: "Okay, I won't delay your meal. If you don't know how to make a sweater, you can come to my house and find me. I will teach you."
Sheng An Ning sent Qin Hongxia out, and when she came back and saw the steaming rice on the stove, her heart was filled with ripples, and she had an indescribable feeling.
I ate every last grain of rice, felt satisfied and warm, lay down on the bed, dozed off for a while, and then got up to make dumplings.
Didn’t Qin Hongxia say that Zhou Shixun loves eating dumplings?
Then she would make him some good dumplings.
I felt it was a bit extravagant to use up all two pounds of meat, so I cut off one-third of it and chopped it into stuffing. I put the rest aside and waited for Zhou Shixun to come back to see what to do with it.
When Zhou Shixun came back, Sheng Anning had already wrapped the dumplings. The dumplings were placed plumply on the chopping board, and the water in the pot was bubbling.
"You're back, just in time to wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Sheng An Ning saw Zhou Shixun come in and greeted him with a bright smile, her eyes curved with a bit of excitement.
Zhou Shixun paused for a moment, feeling as if he had entered the wrong door.
