Chapter 5 Learning



Du Manjun cried out, and a red patch appeared on the back of his fair hand. He gasped in pain.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Shen Zhizhu started to attack him like a mortar.

"I bound my feet, but you bound your brain. What's the matter? Didn't I inform you about the Four Olds Campaign? Do I need to send you to the Revolutionary Committee to study hard?"

"You are the village chief's family after all, how can you not afford it? You keep staring at this little thing of mine every day! If you want to drink malted milk, go ask your lover!"

"This is what I prepared for my man! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You are not even as good as his little finger!"

Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, Du Manjun became so angry that his face turned blue and he lowered his voice to threaten.

"If you keep making trouble, I'll be really angry!"

Shen Zhizhu sneered: "If you want to be angry, then be angry. It has nothing to do with me if you die of anger!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Du Manjun standing there with a sinister look on his face.

"You stupid woman, I'll find a chance to kill you!"

Xu Haonan was hoeing the ground. When he saw Shen Zhizhu coming, he dropped the hoe and went to greet her from a distance.

"Why are you here? I have already finished your work on that field. Go back and have a rest."

Shen Zhizhu smiled and raised his hand, using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Xu Haonan's forehead.

"I'm here to bring you food. No matter how busy you are, you are not allowed to skip breakfast. If you do this again next time, I will be angry!"

Shen Zhizhu opened the water bottle and said, "Drink some maltose first to avoid choking."

Xu Haonan looked at the thick yellow malted milk essence water and was reluctant to drink it himself, so he pushed it to Shen Zhizhu to drink.

"I am a big man, I won't drink this sweet stuff!"

Shen Zhizhu raised his eyebrows: "I have to drink it!"

[You don’t know how to take care of yourself! What should I do if something happens to you?]

Xu Haonan was dizzy from Shen Zhizhu's inner voice. He gulped down two big gulps of water, put down the bottle and ate.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma wafted far away along the field embankment.

Shen Zhizhu specially picked out meat dishes for him, salted chicken, four-happiness meatballs, and a whole fish tail...

Xu Haonan was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He wolfed down the food, burped, and smiled foolishly at Shen Zhizhu.

Shen Zhizhu put the lunch box back into the basket and stuffed the water bottle into his hand.

"Keep this for yourself and drink it slowly. Remember to bring our water bottle back when you get off work."

Xu Haonan nodded in response and watched Shen Zhizhu walk away. He did not come back to his senses until the slender figure disappeared.

Uncle Liu at the side laughed at him: "Hao Nan, you are tall and strong, but you are controlled by your wife!"

Xu Haonan tilted his head and smiled without saying anything.

Shen Zhizhu returned home and worked quickly, sewing a pair of pants for Xu Haonan in about an hour.

She looked at the remaining fabric and cut the rubber bands she had bought early in the morning into small pieces, and made them into head flowers using red fabric with white lace.

It didn't take long to make a handful, about fifty in total.

Shen Zhizhu hid the finished hairpin in a basket and went to the county town with the basket.

The leftovers from the wedding were completely eaten in the morning, and she was anxious to make money to improve her family's life. She planned to start by selling small accessories for girls.

This thing is not conspicuous, so even if the urban management comes to check, she can easily run away with the basket.

Oh, I really hope time can pass faster. I wish she could wait until the 1980s when the reform and opening up came. Then she could do business openly and even list the company on the stock market.

When Shen Zhizhu arrived at the county town, it was time for school to be over. She stood at the gate of the high school, lifted the cloth covering the basket, and showed it off generously.

"Selling flowers! New style from Haicheng!"

"Take a look! The hair ornaments from Haicheng are very fashionable and stylish!"

A female teacher in a woolen blouse stopped in front of her and her eyes lit up when she saw the flower in her hair.

"How much does a head cost?"

Shen Zhizhu stretched out his hand and made the number three.

"Three?"

The female teacher frowned and looked embarrassed. This is too expensive! Her monthly salary is only 35 yuan.

Seeing her hesitation, Shen Zhizhu immediately urged her, "This is a new product from Haicheng. All the young ladies there wear this. I spent a lot of money on the travel expenses alone."

"This flower is strong and can be worn for at least a year. It only costs one cent a day on average!"

Seeing the teacher's expression relaxed, Shen Zhizhu continued, lowering his voice: "Comrade, look, does this red one look like a rose? Wear this to attract romantic luck!"

The female teacher blushed and said, "Okay, I'll buy one."

Shen Zhizhu let her choose and started chatting: "I'll give you five bucks for two. Why don't you buy one for your sister at home? I don't have much here. They will be gone in a few days."

The female teacher was persuaded again and directly handed over five yuan.

Shen Zhizhu happily put the money into his pocket and continued to sell.

After waiting for a long time with no business, Shen Zhizhu decided to try another place. Just as he was about to leave, a group of people suddenly surrounded him.

A female voice: "That's her!"

Shen Zhizhu was startled and thought it was the urban management officials who came, but he actually saw the female teacher who had just bought the hair flower.

Shen Zhizhu asked carefully, "Comrade, if your hairpin is damaged, I can replace it for you. If you don't want it anymore, I can also return it to you."

"There's no need to bring so many people to block me, right?"

The female teacher said to the person who brought her with joy: "I bought my hair ornament from her!"

As soon as the words came out, the female comrades handed the money to Shen Zhizhu one after another, three yuan each and five yuan each, fearing that they would miss out if they were too late.

Shen Zhizhu let them choose from the basket themselves.

The female teacher smiled and thanked her: "Comrade, your hair ornament is really effective. As soon as I put it on my head, I met the male teacher I had a crush on in the cafeteria. He took the initiative to sit next to me and confessed his love to me!"

The female teacher's face was flushed and she smiled shyly, looking like a little woman who had fallen in love.

Shen Zhizhu secretly sighed, is her mouth really good?

Can it work just by saying it casually?

"Thank you for bringing me business. I'll give you a discount next time you buy from me!"

All the hair ornaments in the basket were snatched away. A few who didn't get any looked at her reluctantly and kept asking when there would be more.

Shen Zhizhu told them that she would come again at this time tomorrow.

After the crowd dispersed, Shen Zhizhu happily held the fifty-plus yuan he had earned and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Supplies were extremely scarce those days, and there weren't many things in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Shen Zhizhu bought a small bag of rice, a small bag of flour, and a piece of pork belly. Seeing that the offal was still fresh, he bought all of it.

In her previous life, she was used to a good life, but after her rebirth, she always felt that coarse food was stuck in her throat and she couldn't eat.

This time, she has some income, so Xu Haonan doesn't have to work so hard anymore.

Shen Zhizhu was walking on the village road carrying a basket full of bags, full of energy.

Unfortunately, when I arrived at the village entrance, I ran into my aunt's family. My good mood ended there.

"Oh, it's different when you have a family, with rice, flour, and meat?"

The eldest aunt looked greedy and said, "Zhu girl, you are living a good life now, but you must not forget to honor your eldest aunt!"
