Chapter 75



"You're still a child! Stop chatting and get to work." Aunt Lu smiled lovingly.

Although she has a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law has her own children and family. What's more, her daughter-in-law never acts coquettishly. She can't help but like the soft and cute little girl.

The most important point is that Cheng Yunan is very popular with her.

In addition, the day before yesterday the old man brought home two big meat buns and said that the little girl gave them to him.

The meat buns were so delicious that she still misses the taste.

The key is that the little girl is sensible, knows how to behave, and does not slack off at work.

But she was too sensible. It hurt to see her face getting red from the sun.

"Cheng Zhiqing, why don't you sit over there and rest for a while?" Aunt Lu asked.

Cheng Yunan was indeed very tired. Pulling weeds was not easy. Her legs were sore and numb from squatting, and her hands were so painful from the blisters and swelling.

No matter what, you must prepare a pair of gloves in the afternoon.

I go home to cook at noon. Today it is Zhang Xiaohui's turn to cook. She cooks very skillfully. Cheng Yunan just wants to lie down on the bed and free her legs.

When Tao Xingwan and the other two came in, they also looked pale, with varying degrees of abrasions and sunburn.

The rest time after dinner was very short, and Cheng Yunan felt that she had to get up as soon as she lay down. Fortunately, she had spiritual spring water. After drinking a few sips, most of the fatigue in her body disappeared.

The trouble was that her shoulder was injured. The cotton gauze was soaked with sweat and it hurt a lot when it touched the wound.

While everyone was still asleep, she quickly gave herself a medicine.

After rummaging through the nylon bag, I finally pulled out a pair of white cotton gloves.

The workers in the factory are only given a pair of gloves every two months, so they are reluctant to wear them.

This thing can be used to make sweaters by tearing the yarn apart. If it has anything to do with clothes, it is a valuable item.

Therefore, when the educated youths saw Cheng Yunan holding the gloves, there was something different in the way they looked at her.

"Nannan, do you still have gloves? I'll buy them from you!" Yang Suzhen asked.

Some of my fingers are really hurting.

"Yes, wait for me to get it for you!"

Tao Xingwan followed her and bought one too.

Because Ma Hong had an injured arm, the village chief arranged for her to carry grass by the roadside at the back.

This job is easy and does not require much effort. It is obvious that the village chief is taking care of her.

After a hard day's work, everyone was exhausted, especially Gu Chaowen, whose shoulders were rubbed and bleeding from carrying water all day.

As soon as Ma Hong returned to the Youth Institute, she hurried to deliver medicine and warmth to people in great pain.

"Look at her worthless appearance. What's the point of chasing her? People still don't like her." Zhang Xiaohui muttered softly.

Cheng Yunan raised an eyebrow. She didn't expect that Zhang Xiaohui was not such a bad person.

It seems to be hurting Ma Hong, but it actually contains care and reminders.

Tao Xingwan also had the same idea, and sneered in his heart, saying that women are worthless if they are chased away.

All her life after she married Gu Chaowen, she worked herself to death all day long, and took the initiative to give him her time for reviewing and reading, but he still took advantage of her completely.

She wanted to see how long Gu Chaowen could hold out.

After dinner, no one wanted to chat and just wanted to wash up and go to bed.

Cheng Yunan wants to take a shower.

After a day of sweating, my body was very sticky.

Fortunately, Tao Xingwan had the same idea, and the two of them guarded the door together while taking a combat shower.

Mainly, there are too many people and I dare not delay.

Before going to bed at night, Cheng Yunan had to silently recite the acupuncture points on the human body and the characteristics and efficacy of various herbs, as well as what diseases they could treat.

Since she couldn't read the book, she would recite what she remembered over and over again. She promised her teacher that she would do it.

After they all went to bed, Ma Hong happily bent over and lay back on the bed.

Today she applied medicine to Gu Chaowen! He actually didn't reject it, which showed that he was willing to accept her care.

This is a good sign. If she continues to do it, she will definitely warm him up.

After three days of hard work, Cheng Yunan was exhausted and had backaches. The other educated youth were not much better, but she became familiar with Aunt Lu.

Today they were assigned to plow the land.

This job required two people to do it together, one squatting on the ground to turn over the sweet potato vines, and the other weeding the grass at the back.

Cheng Yunan worked with Aunt Lu.

Cheng Yunan asked her, "Auntie, does our village have any residential land?"

"Cheng Zhiqing, are you planning to separate and live alone?" Aunt Lu was not stupid, so she guessed Cheng Yunan's thoughts immediately.

"Auntie, we are so familiar with each other, don't call me Cheng Zhiqing Cheng Zhiqing all the time, just call me Nannan."

"Okay, I'll call you Nannan." Aunt Lu was also a straightforward person and changed her tone immediately.

Cheng Yunan continued, “I heard from the villagers that after the autumn harvest, there will probably be more educated youth coming here.

The entire Youth Institute is so small that it can’t accommodate everyone. I like to stay away from the crowd, so I want to move out.”

“There is no residential land, but it is not a problem to build a separate house.

He Zhiqing just moved into the house built by the government.

But building a house is not cheap, it costs more than 10 yuan in total, and you also need to buy a set of utensils for eating, including pots, bowls, pans, and utensils. Although these things may not be worth much money, they will cost you more than 30 yuan if you really spend them.

Especially the iron pot, that thing needs a business ticket, we are in a small town here, the supply and marketing cooperative may not be able to get a pot for ten days or half a month, even if there is one, we may not rush if we don’t have any news. ”

It is said that a poor house is worth a thousand gold coins. Every time you move, you will become poor. This truth is not in vain.

"Auntie, money is no problem. I brought some money with me when I went to the countryside. As for the big iron pot, if it doesn't work, I'll go to the city to have a look. I have a business ticket, which should be enough to buy a pot. I'll go and ask the village chief later."

Aunt Lu's name is Ma Xiulian. When I heard her say this, I knew that the child was well prepared to go to the countryside.

"Don't be in a hurry. The wheat needs to be harvested soon. Even if you ask now, the villagers won't have the time to build a house for you. Wait until the wheat is harvested, and then you can ask again." Aunt Lu reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah, I'll listen to my aunt!"

She was particularly excited when she knew that a house was being built.

There is a separate courtyard at the back, not to mention taking a shower, cooking, and even going into the space is very convenient.

After returning home and finishing their meal, the family arranged for Li Hongmei to wash the dishes. Then Aunt Lu pulled Old Man Lu into the house and talked about what Cheng Yunan had asked.

"I think that girl is sensible. She knows that there will be more educated youth assigned to our village after the autumn harvest. If she wants to move here, just move. And she can help you solve a big problem at the same time."

Old man Lu smoked his pipe in silence.

"What are you thinking about, old man? Although the educated youth who went to the countryside were given subsidies, no matter how much subsidy they get, it can't be enough to subsidize just one educated youth.

When the educated youth came, we had to build houses for them. Our village not only had to put in the effort but also had to pay for it. Now that the educated youth Cheng wants to move in, isn’t that just right!”

"If you say it's suitable, then it's suitable. It's not up to me alone to decide for the whole village. Let's talk about it after the wheat is harvested." Village chief Lu also felt a little relieved.

As long as it doesn't cost the villagers money, basically no one will object.

Little did they know that this house would soon not even need to be built.
