Uncle Tao hissed, "Sister-in-law, speaking of this, I was just about to ask you, who was the one who called you before the New Year?"
Lu Huanying narrowed her eyes, as if pondering how to tell him. After thinking for a while, she said, "My brother."
"What?"
Uncle Tao's expression changed drastically: "He... is still alive?"
"Yeah, still alive."
The old lady's eyes were red.
The past of my youth is still vivid in my mind. Thinking back on those times now, it seems like a reincarnation.
Uncle Tao also felt a surge of suffocation in his heart: "Okay, I will definitely make this call."
After asking for a day off from the commune office, Uncle Tao hurried into the city.
In the spring after the New Year, the heavy snow had melted long ago and the road was not so difficult to walk on. He also took a ox cart along the way and returned to Quanshui Village before dark.
When Uncle Tao walked into the new courtyard, Lu Huanying and her family were having dinner.
Su Zhen quickly went to serve him a bowl of porridge and asked him to eat with her family.
Uncle Tao didn't hesitate.
But a pair of eyes were staring at Xinyuan in secret.
Shi De has always been skeptical about the relationship between Grandpa Tao and the old lady. As soon as he saw the old man entering the new courtyard, he wanted to eavesdrop.
There was a burst of laughter in the new courtyard, and Shi De's back teeth were clattering.
After the New Year, the criminal documents came down and Yang Dahua was sentenced to one year and two months in prison.
Until now, he has not recovered and has not gone into the city to visit the prisoner.
Shi De, who lives with his two children, feels that every day is torment. Although he believes that he and Yang Dahua have no feelings for each other, they are still one after all.
Now that she was in, she couldn't even hold her head up in front of the villagers.
His son Shi Weiqiang always goes to the new courtyard, and Shi Xiaoli has completely ignored the family and has been going to the educated youth site recently.
Sometimes Shi De envied Lu Fugui, but it was actually better to be crazy.
The madman has no worries, and doesn't have to worry about how many work points he earns today, or whether they are enough to feed his family.
…
After dinner, the kids went out to play while Shi Weimin and his wife cleaned up the kitchen.
After accompanying the old lady back to the main house, Grandpa Tao took out the money from selling ginseng: "I tried my best. There happened to be a family who wanted to buy some to support an elderly person in their family. I made a total of 200 yuan."
"It's already a lot." Lu Huanying smiled excitedly. Two hundred yuan was enough for their whole family to eat quietly for a long time.
She thought about writing a letter to Shi Zhentang, asking him not to send money home for the time being.
Now he and Yuzhu have just started their small life together and they are in need of money. However, the family already has enough money for food.
"By the way, did you call? Why is this a round number of 200?"
"Yes, do I need your money to call my brother? I'll pay for it myself. Do you think I can't come up with those few dollars?" Uncle Tao joked, then sighed, "I never thought I'd be able to hear my brother's voice again in this life."
He added, “I also told my eldest brother that you have moved to a new home, Weimin and Suzhen are also filial, and you are living a better life than before.”
"Okay, I'll just beat him." Lu Huanying twisted her face and wiped her tears: "I don't know if I can see him again in this life."
"There will be a chance, don't worry!"
When Uncle Tao came out of the new courtyard, someone followed him.
He didn't even bother to turn around when he heard someone behind him say hello: "Hey, Uncle De, where are you going?"
Shi De's head was filled with black lines: "..."
Exposed!!!
Uncle Tao, who was walking in front, sneered and continued to move forward.
He shook his head and sighed inwardly, thinking that Yulan was really blind to fall in love with such a thing back then!
…
It was probably ten days later when Shi Zhentang received the letter from the old lady.
He received a letter from the regiment headquarters as soon as he returned.
After reading the contents of the letter, I found that in addition to the matter about ginseng, it also mentioned Lu Juanjuan.
It turned out that the political commissar not only helped to call the police that day, but also sent the letter of complaint to the local public security bureau for signature. The handwriting turned out to be Lu Juanjuan's.
She has now been dismissed from her position as the commune's women's director and is no longer a state employee.
This is a good thing.
Given Lu Juanjuan's character, she would never serve the people wholeheartedly.
Before Shi Zhentang put the letter away, Li Shengli came up to him and asked, "Brother, is this a letter from home?"
"Hmm."
He put the letter in his pocket and praised him: "You did a good job on this mission."
"Of course." Li Shengli smiled and said, "Are there any rewards?"
"Isn't this your job? You still need a reward."
"I can't just go to your house and have a meal. I haven't tasted your sister-in-law's cooking yet!"
Li Shengli now didn't think there was anything wrong with Tian Yuzhu. Instead, he felt that their battalion commander had no humanity at all.
Ever since he got married, he has completely forgotten about the relationship between the military and the people.
I've never even invited him to my house for a meal.
So, he thought about saying it himself.
But Shi Zhentang didn't give him a chance at all: "Don't make your sister-in-law suffer. Go to the cafeteria. It's the best place for a bachelor like you."
What?
Li Shengli almost vomited blood.
It would have been fine if they didn't let him go, but they also criticized him for being single.
Does he...does he have a chance to meet a girl?
Shi Zhentang didn't give him any chance to continue pestering her. He hadn't seen his wife for many days and had to go back quickly.
This mission took a long time, and the border patrol line extended hundreds of kilometers longer than usual.
