The more she thought about it, the more proud she became. The lady with the green headscarf started telling Wen Sihe about her glorious past right in her room!
Naturally, I didn't notice the little action of my sister-in-law on the other side.
Wen Sihe, Wu Yu and others were listening with great interest. They were still young during the famine years and hearing these stories now, they couldn't help but admire the wisdom of their parents' generation.
"I had just been married at that time. You may not know that my husband married me with a small sack of rice.
There was a family living in this small courtyard before. I heard they came here to escape famine. They brought four or five children with them. At that time, there was also a child playing with Lu Zhiye.
It’s a pity that there is no more behind…”
Wu Yu's eyes were filled with surprise. What did he mean by gone? Starved to death?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Wen Sihe grabbed his arm.
As if she realized that she had said something bad, the lady in the green headscarf looked helpless for a moment, and then quickly changed the subject.
"You don't know, one year after I got married, my brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law were only in their teens and were crying with hunger.
I went up the mountain every day to look for tree bark, but at that time the outer bark had been peeled off and the ground had been shoveled clean.
There was no other way, so my husband and I fled to the mountains and managed to get some food to get through those days. It was hard.
The green-turbaned lady covered her mouth and giggled as she spoke: "They say that an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I have also raised them safely, so I can say that I have done my job well."
Wen Sihe looked at the fine lines at the corners of the eyes of the lady in the green headscarf, with tears faintly flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but admire her.
But she was more concerned about Lu Zhiye's childhood playmate.
When she was reading the book, Wen Sihe was a little confused when she saw Lu Zhiye’s request that the price of black market grain should not increase too much.
Why would he take such a big risk to do this? Now I understand that Lu Zhiye was simply making up for the regrets of his childhood.
He was afraid that the things that frightened him as a child would happen again in the place where he lived.
At noon, Lu Zhiye prepared several dishes and invited Zhou Guoliang and his friends, as well as the lady in the green headscarf, to stay for dinner.
The lady in the green headscarf looked at the newly renovated house and gave Zhou Guoliang and Niu Liye a thumbs up, "Zhou Zhiqing, I can't tell.
You two are quite good at work. Zhou Zhiqing, you are not young anymore, are you? I have a niece in my mother's family, who is two years younger than you. Do you want to meet her some time?"
Ever since Lu Zhiye entrusted her with an important task, the lady with the green headscarf now wants to introduce a partner to the old ox that pulls the cart!
Zhou Guoliang waved his hands quickly: "Auntie, my family doesn't allow me to get married so early."
The lady in the green headscarf had a look of regret on her face. She used to think that the educated youth were superior, but now one by one they were marrying villagers.
I'm afraid many people have become more active now.
After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, before leaving, Lu Zhiye gave Zhou Guoliang and Niu Liye each a piece of bacon two fingers wide.
Zhou Guoliang wanted to refuse, but Niu Liye felt really justified in taking it. He was not exaggerating, but none of the toilets in the village were as clean as the one at Lu Zhiye's house.
Whose credit is that? His!
This is what he deserved. God knows he slipped and almost fell into the pit.
I don’t know whose shit is in Lu Zhiye’s toilet, it’s so smelly.
After picking up the manure and washing it with several buckets of water, Niu Liye felt himself sweating all over.
Lu Zhiye: Of course it’s wild boar shit. Who asked you to clean the toilet? I usually shit in this space, where can I give you shit out of nowhere?
When Niu Liye and his companions came back with the things, the educated youth were all having lunch. He specially walked past Wang Qingshan carrying two pieces of meat.
Seeing that little show-off, Wang Qingshan made a crunching sound when he chewed the wild vegetables in his mouth.
The other educated youth felt very regretful and wished they would have gone to help earlier.
Lu Zhiye has no money and only has a lot of strength, but can't he resist making Wen Sihe happy?
It was not until the evening that the four female educated youth worked hard to make clothes for several people.
Ji Nian added a little design to the clothes he made for Wen Sihe, which made Wen Sihe praise him repeatedly.
Wu Yu exclaimed: "Put it on and let me see it!"
"Yes, try it and see if it fits. If not, I'll modify it for you."
Under the urging of several people, Wen Sihe changed into this outfit.
When he walked out from behind the curtain, Wu Yu felt that the whole room was brighter.
The bright red dress has a slanted collar, a corseted waist, and a large folded hem.
With a slight turn, the spread hem of her skirt made Wen Sihe look like an elf dancing among the flowers.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is incredible. Your Lu Zhiye will be so obsessed with this that he won't go out for a few days."
As soon as Wu Yu opened his mouth, several people blushed.
Li Guihua spat, "I told you not to keep getting close to those women, but you insisted on going to watch Xu Qian's joke.
Look, look, what have you learned? "
Wu Yu stuck out her tongue playfully, but accidentally made a lip bald!
"Is your waist tight? You see, I put a button here. If it's tight, open it. If it's loose, button it up.
Even if I have children and get fatter, I can still wear it without it tightening my waist.”
Ji Nian smiled and looked at Wen Sihe with sparkling eyes. This was her first time making clothes for others. How should I put it? It was a great sense of accomplishment!
Wen Sihe loved it so much. In this era, to have such a design was simply genius.
I can't see it normally, I didn't expect that there is this trick for commemoration.
Wu Yu looked at Wen Sihe's clothes with envy: "I should have asked Sister Ji to make my clothes too."
When Li Guihua heard this, she glared and reached out to grab Wu Yu's ear: "What's the matter? Do you dislike your sister Guihua's cooking skills?"
Wu Yu begged for mercy: "No way, no way, everyone in the hospital doesn't know that Sister Guihua has good craftsmanship. Look at the fine stitches. If you take it out and say it was sewn by a sewing machine, people will believe it."
Several people were laughing and making noises until the people in the front yard called for dinner.
Wen Sihe's heart kept beating fast all night.
I used to always hear people say that they have pre-marital phobia and that they can’t sleep because of excitement when getting married.
She always didn't take it seriously, but now that it really happens to her, she realizes that she can't control this kind of thinking.
She kept convincing herself in her mind to go to bed quickly, but her mind was always wandering.
It wasn't until the roosters in the village crowed that I felt a little sleepy.
However, he was destined to be unable to sleep. Just after five o'clock, the lady with green headscarf knocked on the door of the educated youth center.
Zhou Guoliang, who had just woken up, was still a little puzzled. Who was knocking on the door so early?
