Ruan Niannian has only been here for less than three months. She doesn't like to interact with the villagers on weekdays. She often asks for leave from work because she's not feeling well here or there.
It's normal that the villagers don't know her.
But this doesn't mean that she doesn't know the two daughters-in-law across the street.
There is also a pair of sisters-in-law across the street, one is from Zhang Dachui's family and the other is from Zhang Erchui's family. They are very famous in the village.
These two daughters-in-law are the most gossipy in the village. If any rumor reaches their ears and spreads to others, it can turn into a war of the century.
Ruan Niannian understood what Mrs. Pei meant after just a quick thought.
Before she got on the ox cart, she was still thinking, how could Mrs. Pei, who is so stingy, take her on an ox cart for only four cents?
Now I understand.
Li Dani must have told her to tell the two wives to let them know that Ruan Zhiqing was going to marry Pei Yuanzheng.
Sure enough, in the following time, Li Dani kept calling her "my fourth brother's sister-in-law", praising her to the skies from her education to her appearance, from her personality to her family background.
It is estimated that within three days, the whole brigade will know that Ruan Zhiqing from the educated youth point is going to marry Pei Yuanzheng, the fourth son of the Pei family.
The ox cart bumps along the way and is not faster than walking in terms of speed, but it is a means of transportation that saves physical energy and makes the feet less tired.
It was only after Ruan Niannian married into the Pei family in her previous life that she learned about ox carts that could take her to the commune. Before that, she had always been reluctant to go to the commune, thinking that Chen Panpan had walked there, and she felt particularly guilty about it.
It was probably this kind of special "care" from Chen Panpan that made her more and more dependent.
Rather than saying that she reconciled with Chen Panpan without any grudges again and again in her previous life, it would be better to say that apart from Chen Panpan, she had no one else to rely on.
Alas, she has really had enough of this dodder-like life.
In order to have a good relationship with Mrs. Pei, besides knowing that she was straightforward and straightforward, the most important thing was that she knew she was a good cook.
Buried in Li Dani's search without giving any oil or salt.
This is all later.
Ruan Niannian listened to Mrs. Pei's endless bragging all the way to the commune, and her butt was a little sore from the shaking.
As soon as Mrs. Pei arrived at the commune, she took Ruan Niannian's hand and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
We just finished counting the goods yesterday, and today the supply and marketing cooperative is so crowded that there is no room inside, but people outside are still trying their best to squeeze in.
"Red cloth, I want red cloth! Don't push me, wait until I buy it before squeezing in!"
"How much? How many tickets?"
"Oh, it's expensive. None of the previous ones were this expensive!"
…
Mrs. Pei glanced at Ruan Niannian's small figure and pointed to the post office across the street: "Look, that's the post office. You can go there to make a phone call."
After saying that, he let go of Ruan Niannian's hand and joined the crowded crowd.
It really is, it is very characteristic of the times. After this period of time, it will be difficult to see such a scene in the future.
Ruan Niannian walked towards the post office diagonally opposite without any reluctance.
Standing in front of the phone, Ruan Niannian took a deep breath and with trembling fingers pressed the number of Ruan's father's office.
Mr. Ruan is the deputy director of the steel plant, so of course there is a telephone in his office.
When I called, the few seconds I had to wait for the call to be answered felt like hours.
Since she was little, she has been the apple of her parents' eyes. No, even her brothers and sisters have held her in their hands.
The biggest hardship she had experienced before going to the countryside was probably when she wanted her father to buy a color TV, but because her father arrived a step too late, he didn't buy it...
“Beep…beep…beep…ka!”
"Hello, this is the steel plant."
It was Father Ruan’s voice.
Ruan Niannian opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable, while tears flowed uncontrollably.
dad!
She wanted to scream, but her throat felt as if a razor blade was stuck in it.
"Who are you, comrade? If you don't say anything, I'll hang up."
Don't!
Ruan Niannian sobbed into the phone, still unable to speak. After hearing Ruan's father's voice, her throat seemed to be sealed.
Father Ruan, who was sitting opposite him, heard the crying and gradually sensed that something was wrong. He asked tentatively, "Nian Nian?"
"Wa ...
Ruan Niannian finally burst into tears, and all the grievances she had suffered in her previous life were vented at this moment.
Why did she disobey her family's arrangement and follow Chen Panpan to sign up for the countryside? Why did she have to reconcile with Chen Panpan again and again and let her harm herself?
Why didn't she contact her family once in all these years? Why did she let her parents never hear from their beloved little daughter again?
She is not worthy of being a daughter, she is the most unfilial!
Ruan Niannian cried heartbreakingly.
The people in the post office were used to it. Countless educated youth had cried here, and they were no longer surprised.
Mr. Ruan on the other end of the phone felt his heart broken. He was usually calm and steady, and he could calmly give orders in front of a factory with thousands of employees, but at this moment, his hand was shaking as he held the receiver.
The youngest daughter has been in the countryside for almost three months. He and his wife write letters and send money every once in a while, hoping that their youngest daughter will write them back or call them.
Now the wait has finally come.
He carefully tried to calm Ruan Niannian down, "Be good, Niannian, don't cry, don't cry. Did someone bully you? Wait, Dad will find some connections and come to pick you up."
Ruan Niannian cried even harder.
How heartless does she have to be to not contact her family for fear that they would blame her?
"Oh, little ancestor, why are you crying even harder? Did daddy say something wrong? Daddy apologizes, I'm sorry, daddy's little Nian Nian, can you forgive daddy?"
A familiar and funny voice came from the receiver to Ruan Niannian's ears. She couldn't help but burst into laughter and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, I miss home."
This short sentence made Mr. Ruan feel distressed again. His darling must have suffered a lot in the countryside, right?
"Dad asked your brother to pick you up. We are not going back to the countryside, never again."
Ruan Niannian knew that since her father said this, he would use all his connections to get her back to the city.
But no, not now, she had to go home in a fair and honest way, instead of running away like she was doing now.
She wiped away her tears and tried to tell Father Ruan in a relaxed voice, "Dad, I'm going to get married here."
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and Ruan Niannian became nervous again. She had anticipated many possible reactions that Ruan's father might have.
The most extreme one is to firmly disagree and come and take her home in person.
But she didn't expect that what Mr. Ruan gave her was a long silence.
I don't know how long it took before the other party slowly said, "Nian Nian, what kind of person is he?"
"Him." Ruan Niannian thought back to Pei Yuanzheng during this period in her previous life. Although they had always been in a cold war, he was definitely capable and responsible.
Thinking about it, she praised: "Dad, he is a very upright man, a soldier. He said that he would take me with him to join the army after he filed a marriage report."
