Chapter 2: Falling out with the enemy

Chapter 2: Falling out with the enemy

In a matter of minutes, the whole Hanjiagou was spreading the news that Han Jianwu's educated youth wife not only did not return to the city, but also chased away her old lover and good sister.

Don't blame the people in Hanjiagou for being gossipy. Recently, there has been a rumor in the village that Huo Qingqing is going back to the city with that Zhang Zhiqing. It's not an elopement but a legitimate one.

Huo Qingqing has the appearance of a typical good girl, but the things she does can really blind people's eyes.

Han Jianwu looked at Huo Qingqing, "Why don't you leave?"

Huo Qingqing's tears welled up in her eyes and she whispered, "I'm sorry!"

Han Jianwu sighed and said, "My attitude remains unchanged. You can leave whenever you want. The children and I will never hold you back."

Huo Qingqing continued, "I'm not leaving."

Han Jianwu, "Take the children to the warm kang, it's cold outside. I'll go knead the dough and steam the white flour buns for lunch."

It is still very cold in the northwest at the beginning of spring, and every household is still heating their kangs.

Huo Qingqing murmured, "You, steamed flower rolls?"

Han Jianwu said: "Today we will cook."

There are five brothers in the Han family, and Han Jianwu is the fourth one. All five brothers are married and have children, totaling more than 20 people, big and small. The mother-in-law is very good at housekeeping, and the five daughters-in-law take turns cooking, three days each. Every time it was Huo Qingqing's turn, Han Jianwu had to cook, as she simply couldn't prepare food for so many people.

On weekdays, Huo Qingqing is a substitute teacher in the brigade primary school. She is not good at doing farm work, let alone cooking for a whole family. But she has to cook when it is her turn. After all, her sisters-in-law and parents-in-law don't spoil her, so she has to go to work on the days when other sisters-in-law cook.

People in the village secretly laughed at Han Jianwu for being afraid that his wife would be a fool.

Huo Qingqing's family of four and Lao Wu's family lived at both ends of the west wing, sharing a small hall in the middle.

Huo Qingqing looked at the kettle steaming on the charcoal brazier and asked Han Jianwu, "Can I use this hot water?"

Han Jianwu was surprised, but his face was calm, "Of course, what do you want to do?"

Huo Qingqing said: "Wash the two kids' heads."

Huo Qingqing has been thinking about divorcing Han Jianwu and returning to the city recently, and she has ignored her children. The two children are dirty and look as dusty as the children in the village.

well!

Huo Qingqing sighed silently, she is really a piece of shit.

The children didn't want to wash their hair in the cold weather, but their mother said she would wash their hair even if they stayed, so they sat on the small stool and obeyed her mother very well.

Putting a scarf made of plastic cloth around her neck, Huo Qingqing opened the suitcase she was going to take away, took out the bag of shampoo, and carefully washed the two children's hair, scrubbed their bodies with hot water, changed them into clean clothes, and put cold cream on their faces.

He took out the biscuits he was going to take away and gave them to the two kids, then said to Han Jianwu, "Take them to grandparents' room, I'll tidy up the house."

The two kids happily went to see their grandparents with the biscuits.

Huo Qingqing then looked at herself in the round mirror. At this moment, she really looked young and energetic, with a rosy complexion. Which female educated youth who went to the countryside was as fair as her? I have been working in the countryside for four years, and I haven't been to the fields for more than three years. I don't have to cook at home. Sometimes I wash dishes for fear of being scolded by my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. Most of the time I take the children to knit. After all, the brigade primary school only has classes half a day, and the teachers have to go to the fields to do farm work in the afternoon.

As soon as she looked up, she met Han Jianwu's deep eyes. Huo Qingqing retracted her gaze and put down the mirror. She took out a piece of fine black corduroy fabric from the suitcase and said, "I'll ask my second sister-in-law to make you a pair of pants later!" The second sister-in-law was the only person in Hanjiagou who had a sewing machine and could cut.

Han Jianwu said, "No, I have pants to wear."

Huo Qingqing said, "Don't wear these pants anymore."

Han Jianwu looked at the patched pants and said, "I just wear them when I work. I have good pants."

Huo Qingqing, "It's settled, these pants must be made."

Han Jianwu was a little flattered, but he was more suspicious of what Huo Qingqing was trying to do.

"As long as you are happy." Han Jianwu said and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Huo Qingqing was the only one left in the room, and she began to look around the room. The uniform configuration of this place is the adobe walls made of wheat straw and mud, and a large earthen kang (a bed that can be laid flat on the ground).

There are two red boxes against the wall, a red flat cabinet, and on the cabinet there is a porcelain plate with a red peony flower, which contains an enamel cup and toothbrushes and toothpaste. There is an old calendar on the wall with the year 1976 written on it. A red thermos, an enamel pot for children, and a round mirror.

She packed all other daily necessities into her suitcase and planned to take them away.

It was a bit simple, but it was very clean. The kang was still warm when I touched it. The wooden lattice windows were pasted with white paper and New Year's window grilles, and there was a pink floral curtain hanging.

Every real object that her fingers touched was telling her that she was really back!

Huo Qingqing took out the things in the suitcase and sorted them out.

Although her parents were both sent down to the countryside, they did not let her down. They gave her a savings book with more than a thousand yuan in cash, a lot of national grain coupons, various cloth coupons, sugar coupons, meat coupons, etc., just because they were worried that she would suffer.

But she was such a fool that she used all the money to help Zhang Guohua and Gao Yunxia.

“Pah.”

Huo Qingqing slapped herself.

Gao Yunxia is here again.

Huo Qingqing stood under the eaves and looked at Gao Yunxia coldly, "What are you doing here again?"

Gao Yunxia looked Huo Qingqing up and down and whispered, "Qingqing, tell me honestly what happened? It's just the two of us now, if you tell me the truth, I will help you.

Zhang Guohua was so angry that he cried. Didn’t we agree that you two would go back to the city together? ”

Huo Qingqing, "I won't reply, don't you understand?

By the way, you and Zhang Guohua lent me a total of one hundred yuan, including one hundred kilograms of grain coupons, thirty kilograms of meat coupons, eight feet of cloth coupons, and five kilograms of sugar coupons. I give you one week to pay me back. If you don't, I will go to the commune and sue you two for fraud. ”
