Tian Yuzhu didn't notice the man's expression was a little depressed, and continued: "I saw him among the new recruits today."
Shi Zhentang's Adam's apple rolled heavily. "Could I be mistaken? The job of a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative is so good, how could he be willing to give it up to join the army?"
"It's true. I still remember someone called him Duan Xiaowei at the time. If you don't believe me, go check it out."
Tian Yuzhu nestled softly into his arms: "When I saw Duan Xiaowei, I missed my grandma and the others!"
Shi Zhentang: “…”
…
The day after the young couple talked about old lady Lu Huanying, she received two letters.
The village party secretary personally delivered it to my home: "It's a letter from the army."
The old lady quickly asked the village party secretary to help her open it. She could read, so she squinted her eyes and started to read it.
One letter contained national food coupons worth thirty yuan, and the other contained twenty yuan in cash.
The letters containing food coupons mainly contained conversations with family members, greetings to family members, and longing for hometown.
The twenty yuan in cash was to be handed over to Tian Ying, who would then hand it over to Tian's mother, Yang Xiu.
The reason was clearly stated in the letter.
Finally, he told the old lady that when the family sent letters to the army again, they should not mention the food coupons to Shi Zhentang, so as not to distract him from training.
In addition, I hope grandma and the others will not be too frugal and spend money when necessary. If there is anything needed at home, just write to them.
After reading the letter, Lu Huanying was still quite surprised.
Anyway, he was not an outsider, so she showed the letter to the village party secretary.
"Look, Yuzhu has grown up. She has thought of everything very carefully and even guessed that I would pay all the wages."
Of course, the old lady always told people where the money to pay the workers came from that she saved up.
The village party secretary nodded with satisfaction: "Yuzhu's Zhentang could have lived a good life, but he still didn't forget you. These two children know how to respect and are sensible."
"What makes me happiest is that Yuzhu knows how to care for Zhentang." The old lady pointed at the words happily: "Look here, she is afraid that we will mention these trivial things in the letter and distract Zhentang. It is obvious that she cares about him."
"Of course, they are a couple!"
"By the way, how is Lu Fugui's house going?" The old lady remembered that there was a commotion in the village since the New Year.
But after the New Year and the beginning of spring, people began to work in the fields.
Everyone was busy with the hard work, and it was a free contribution to repair Lu Fugui's house, so it was difficult to find people.
In other words, there were a few educated youth who came to help from time to time.
The village party secretary gets a headache when talking about this: "The construction is very slow. Fugui is very crazy. In the spring, I asked Lu Juanjuan to take him to the hospital, but they said they had no money."
When this name was mentioned, the old lady's face turned ugly: "If she had a conscience, she wouldn't have come to this point today!"
Shi Zhentang and Tian Yuzhu kept giving her chances, but her last resort was to write an anonymous letter to the army to complain.
In the end, he not only lost more than he gained, but also ruined his own future.
You deserve it.
The village party secretary sighed, "Ever since she stopped working as a cadre in the commune, Lu Juanjuan has become a different person. She's been saying things as if we're the reason she's out of work."
"Ignore her. It's a shame she still has the nerve to stay in this village."
"Auntie, don't tell me. I heard that Lu Juanjuan is planning to go to the city..."
"she?"
The village party secretary nodded and said, "The villagers heard that she and Shi Xiaoli were plotting to go to the city to engage in speculation and profiteering."
The old lady was immediately furious: "Xiao Li, this brainless girl, keeps following her around. Sooner or later, something will happen. How can you let them go like this?"
"That's definitely not possible." The village party secretary said frankly: "Lu Fugui is so crazy now. Lu Juanjuan has the responsibility to take care of her father. I have sent people to secretly watch her and will not let them leave. Besides, speculation is illegal. Our village has a labor camp prisoner like Yang Dahua, and we absolutely cannot have a second or third one."
If that were the case, then the people of Quanshui Village would have to bow down to others whenever they went out.
The old lady nodded in agreement.
People can do things and cannot do things in their life. Lu Juanjuan is no longer a good-for-nothing, but her father Lu Fugui is the poor one.
In addition, this little girl Shi Xiaoli was raised by her old lady since she was a child.
If you keep a dog at home, you will have feelings for it, let alone people.
If Shi Xiaoli committed a crime and went to jail like her mother, that would be a result the old lady didn't want to see.
There is basically no interaction between the two houses now, but we just hope that they can live in peace.
After the village party secretary left, the old lady walked to the gate of the courtyard with her crutches to look at the scenery.
Now that spring has passed, the villagers have started to get busy.
At first glance, the fields are full of young and middle-aged laborers working hard. The perfect integration of man and nature makes everything seem so vibrant.
However, there is also a person in the village who has not been to the fields since the beginning of spring.
He is currently chopping firewood outside the gate of his small, shabby courtyard!
The old lady walked up to him slowly and said, "Shi De, why don't you go out to the fields? I think you are not that old yet. Look at the people in the village who can still stay idle at home, aren't they all old men and women like us? At your age, you should go out to the fields and can't stay at home all the time."
Shi De looked listless and didn't even raise his eyelids.
Ever since the old lady moved Shi Weimin's family of four to the new courtyard, he has never spoken to anyone in the new courtyard.
It was the same at this time. I didn't want to bother with the old lady.
The old lady was neither impatient nor anxious: "You have to cheer up. Even that crazy Tian Fugui came to the field to help support the pears. Why can't you get over this hurdle?"
"That's because it wasn't Shi Zhentang who was in jail. If it was him, you wouldn't be able to get over it either."
He finally spoke, and his voice was very angry.
The old lady sighed: "It seems that you haven't figured it out after thinking about it for a month or two. Well, I won't say much. If you feel embarrassed about Yang Dahua's matter and are too embarrassed to go to the fields, then you can stay at home for the rest of your life."
"But Shi De, let me remind you, it's best not to let Shi Xiaoli hang out with Lu Juanjuan. That person is not a good person. Don't harm your own daughter."
The old lady spoke and turned away.
If you don't agree, there's no point in talking more.
Shi De still refuses to admit that Yang Dahua is wrong, and there is nothing she can do about it.
"stop."
Shi De suddenly stopped her rudely and said, "Didn't Shi Zhentang say he would give me three dollars a month for my retirement? I heard you received two letters this morning. Give me the money he sent."
"You're so nice!"
The old lady turned around and looked at the other person. She was now completely confused.
It’s like we’ve known each other for over twenty years, but now we’re just strangers.
"Okay, let the third brother come to my house to get it in the evening, and I'll give it to you."
Three pieces, the old lady can afford it.
Yuzhu didn't mention this in the letter she sent back this time. I guess she forgot about it.
But it’s okay, the money earned from selling ginseng at home is still paid by the couple.
