Liang Xiaoman hooked up with one of the electricians and successfully caught someone eating commercial grain!
Among these eight electricians, there was an unprepossessing electrician whose wife had died. His surname was Hu and everyone called him Master Hu. Master Hu was 27 years old. He had a half-blind mother and three sons. The eldest was eight years old and the youngest was three years old.
When his wife was around, his mother, children and he were all taken care of comfortably. But just one year after his wife passed away, this house went from being a clean and tidy home to a doghouse.
I am half blind and in poor health. I can only cook a meal, and I don’t have the energy to take care of the three children. The two older ones are now so wild that they are scary to the eyes of ghosts.
Usually, I can only lock the door and keep the little one at home. The two older ones are like kites with broken strings, causing trouble three times a day. The half-blind mother has to hunch over and apologize from house to house.
He often goes out to work and when he is busy he cannot come back for ten days or half a month. His family is in urgent need of a housewife to look after the house.
He had been on the date countless times this year, but none of them was successful.
Although he was a formal worker and his family was on rationed food, he had to work alone to support the whole family, especially the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. To put it bluntly, he was just looking for someone to take care of the family. Two of the three children were already old enough to remember things, so they were impossible to raise.
As soon as you enter the door, you'll see trivial things everywhere. It's a thankless job. You can get paid for being a nanny for others, but when you enter his house, you'll be a free nanny.
Young female comrades looked down on him at all, and the matchmakers only introduced widows to him. However, he was proud of his status as a formal worker and looked down on married women. He really wanted to marry a virgin.
His mother said that if he didn't marry a wife to take care of the family, she would hang herself at home to avoid being a burden to the family.
Liang Xiaoman looks okay, has graduated from junior high school, and most importantly, she is a virgin.
After working as a scorer for several years, she no longer has to be exposed to the sun and rain every day, and her skin is at least three shades whiter than that of other people in the team. Standing with a group of aunts and sisters, she is like a beautiful rose.
The two hit it off immediately. What? You're talking about Liang Fugui's case? The ones most affected by Liang Fugui's case are his wife and son. A daughter is like water spilled once she's married.
Besides, the county is so far away, who would have the time to ask around about the commune?
Coupled with Liang Xiaoman's little tricks, her eyes turned red and she spoke half of her words and hid the other half. She was really a pitiful little flower. How could a man who had been empty for a year withstand it?
Isn't that right? The electrician gave Zhao Zhaodi 30 yuan as a betrothal gift, and Zhao Zhaodi was happy to give away her daughter Liang Xiaoman.
In her family's situation, it's better to sell as many as possible than to keep them as is. Besides, a 30-yuan betrothal gift is always a face-saving gift no matter where it is placed.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me? It's time to get off work. Comrades, please come to work on time this afternoon. That's all I have to say."
Ever since Huaihua Brigade had electricity, Gu Aiguo had started using the loudspeaker. Every day when he went to and from work, he just had to mutter a few words into the loudspeaker. This was much more convenient and comfortable than before when he had to bang on a broken iron basin and shout at the top of his lungs.
When they first used it, they were not very familiar with it. Gu Aiguo shouted at the top of his lungs as usual. The sound was so loud that it almost deafened everyone's ears. It was no exaggeration to say that the team was in chaos. Even the wild animals in Damao Mountain were startled.
Later, Gu Aiguo gradually got used to it and no longer shouted when speaking.
Liang Xiaoman, wearing a red dress, blocked Gu Linger's way back and circled around Gu Linger three times. She changed the red hairband on her head to another more conspicuous red hairband.
Gu Linger, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't delay me from going home."
Liang Xiaoman's smile froze, and then he said with a troubled look: "My husband Hu said that he would buy me Dacron and Bragi when we get to the county.
Alas, men just don't know how to manage the household. Even though he's a regular employee, he can't be so extravagant."
Gu Linger looked at Liang Xiaoman in disbelief: "You feel proud of marrying a second-married woman?"
Liang Xiaoman couldn't hold back her smile. "What's wrong with a second marriage? My husband, Lao Hu, is a regular employee at the county power supply station and eats commercial grain."
Gu Linger rolled her eyes. "With such good conditions, why are you looking for someone in the countryside? What are you after? Are you after your rural household registration?"
Perhaps others would envy Liang Xiaoman. Because of Zhou Fugui, everyone kept their distance from their family, and they were in a mess. But they were still able to find a formal job in the city and eat commercial grain.
But who is Gu Ling'er? Gu Ling'er's second aunt married into the city, and she was a capable person who only gave birth to a daughter and was able to gain a firm foothold in her husband's family.
Liang Xiaoman couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, "Humph, I know you envy me for being able to marry into the county. After all, I'm the only one in our team who can marry into the county.
I don't think we'll have many opportunities to meet in the future. Here, I'll give you the vanishing cream. Don't keep nagging me and saying I owe you a bottle of vanishing cream. It's so petty."
Gu Linger accepted the vanishing cream without hesitation, "Alright, we're even now. I still have to go home for dinner. I'll never see you again."
Liang Xiaoman was so angry at Gu Linger's indifferent attitude that she gritted her teeth. This was not what she expected.
In the past few days, those people in the team who used to look down on her have been trying to curry favor with her like lapdogs, hoping that she can find a partner for them in the county. Why doesn't it work with Gu Linger?
Gu Linger happily went home with the vanishing cream. She thought the vanishing cream was doomed, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events.
Liu Jinhua noticed the vanishing cream in her daughter's hand and said, "You silly girl, when did you buy the vanishing cream? You're just spending all your money now."
Gu Linger pouted, "Mom, look at what you said. I need time to spend money. Haven't I been busy weeding recently?"
Don't think there's no work to do after spring planting. There's still a lot of work to do, such as working in your own private plots, chopping and collecting firewood, raking pine needles, etc.
The most important thing is to weed. After the peanuts, corn and sweet potatoes are planted and watered with farmyard manure, weeds will grow wildly and compete with the crops for nutrients.
If the weeds are not pulled out in time, crops such as peanuts, corn, and sweet potatoes will not grow big or well.
Today's rural areas do not have the herbicides, DDT and other herbicides that were used in later generations. The weeds are killed with the pesticides. Now all weeding is done manually.
Liu Jinhua, "Then where did you get this bottle of vanishing cream? You can't have conjured it up, right?"
Gu Linger, "Liang Xiaoman gave it to her. Didn't she marry a worker from the county? She just came to me to show off."
Liu Jinhua quickly put down her work when she heard this and said, "You can't be like her, and not care about anything just to marry into the county."
After staying in Huaihua Brigade for a month, they learned a lot about Master Hu's situation.
Gu Linger stamped her feet and said, "Mom, I am such a short-sighted person in your eyes."
Liang Xiaoman was in a hurry to escape from the Huaihua Brigade because his reputation was ruined by Zhou Fugui's incident.
Seeing Gu Ling'er angry, Liu Jinhua quickly coaxed her, "Hey, that's right, go back to your room and read. Your father said he'll start looking for someone to build a primary school tomorrow, and you have to get the position as a primary school teacher."
