Chapter 36



"Shuying, do you look down on me?" Huang Dani's eyes suddenly turned red and tears quickly flowed down. She looked very aggrieved, which made Shuying stunned. Could it be that she had met the legendary white lotus?

By chance, a few ladies from the next door neighbors saw this and asked, "What's wrong, Dani? Did the daughter of the Yang family bully you?"

Huang Dani didn't say anything and cried even more sadly.

I wonder if others really think that it was the shadow of the tree that bullied her.

When facing someone who is more shameless than you, Shuying says that she can only be more shameless than her.

Besides, who doesn't know how to pretend?

Shuying pinched his thigh and his eyes instantly turned red.

Her face was fair and delicate, and when she cried, she looked even more pitiful than the dark, thin and ordinary-looking Huang Dani, which made people feel particularly distressed.

She cried and said loudly: "Dani, there is really nothing to eat at home. If there was, I would have given it to you long ago. Didn't I secretly give you eggs and candy when you wanted to eat them before? We are all three generations of poor farmers, and my family is also very poor!"

When Shuying's words reached the ears of several neighboring ladies, they were all very clear about it.

It turns out that Huang Dani is as shameless as An Meixue in using these things to deceive the daughter of the Yang family.

That's right. With the gentle character of the daughter of the Yang family, who can she bully? It's more likely that others bully her.

Immediately, the eyes of several neighboring ladies looking at Huang Dani changed. Huang Dani's face changed drastically and she said hurriedly: "Shuying, that's not what I meant!"

Shuying rolled his eyes in his heart, but asked innocently, "Dani, An Zhiqing used to ask me for everything he wanted, but now you come to my house and ask me for food. Do you also want to treat me like a fool like An Zhiqing did?"

Huang Dani was so angry at Shuying's bitchy words that she wanted to vomit blood. She saw that several ladies next to her were looking at her with contempt.

Huang Dani was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood and wanted to explain, but Shuying didn't give her a chance to explain: "Dani, I'm not stupid anymore!"

"Shuying, that's really not what I meant!" Huang Dani said brightly.

"Then why did you ask me about food as soon as you opened the door? I just said that all the food in my family was eaten up last night, and you started crying. You scared me!" Shuying said.

Now the ladies finally understood why Huang Dani was crying just now. It turned out that she tried to frame Yang's daughter after failing to deceive her.

How shameless!

Now everyone's family is poor and food is tight. Giving you food is a favor, not giving you food is a duty. Could it be that Huang Dani thinks that since the daughter of the Yang family gave her food before, she must give her food in the future as well?

Well, this Huang Dani is not a good person either.

really!

The daughters raised by Golden Flower are not good stuff.

Several ladies couldn't stand it anymore and came to Shuying's aid, saying, "Huang Dani, how can you be so shameless?"

Another lady said to Shuying: "Daughter of the Yang family, you should be more careful. When you help others, you should help those with conscience. Some people are so cruel and ungrateful that they don't know how to be grateful!"

Huang Dani's face turned pale, then blue, then blue, then purple, at the sound of some scathing comments from the neighboring ladies. It was quite a sight.

Unable to stay any longer, Huang Dani greased her shoes and ran away.

With slightly red eyes, Shuying thanked several neighbor ladies, who felt particularly sympathetic towards her. They comforted her and scolded Huang Dani for her. Shuying thanked them before closing the gate of the courtyard.

After what happened today, let’s see if Huang Dani dares to come to her house and ask for trouble again. From now on, if Huang Dani comes to her house and pretends to cry, let’s see who will believe her!

Huang Dani returned home not having gained any advantage and was extremely angry. Not only that, she had also ruined her reputation. It was already difficult for her to find a good family, and if her reputation spread among the neighbors, it would be even more difficult for her to find a partner.

Huang Dani was so angry that smoke came out of her forehead.

Why did she feel that after not seeing him for a while, Yang Shuying had become much smarter? It was not easy to fool him.

At noon, Shuying fed the hens at home and went to the fields to deliver meals as usual.

In the morning she would boil a pot of water, wipe the bottom of the pot clean, and put it in the well to cool. She would wait until noon to prepare something delicious before taking it to the fields.

There was nothing to cook at home at noon, and everyone had already eaten pickled vegetable corn cakes in the morning, so she couldn't make it at noon.

There are three fish left.

If she cooked at night when everyone was around, it would be too easy to arouse jealousy, so she simply cooked two pieces of pickled fish and some steamed buns at noon and put them in a basket.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to make other fish dishes, such as braised fish, but the sauerkraut fish is a bit bigger in portion and has more soup, so it’s also enough to eat.

Shuying had no choice but to make sauerkraut fish again for lunch.

After it was done, I served some fish, sauerkraut and soup and had lunch with my nephews and nieces.

Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu, Daya and Erya were so excited that they screamed when they found out that they would have pickled fish for lunch at home.

They didn't have enough pickled fish last night.

The guys all think that it’s great that it’s my aunt who cooks at home now. Every time she cooks, the food is delicious.

They all ate their fill and felt very comfortable in their tummy.

Shuying asked the children to have lunch in the main room of her home. After instructing Dahu and Daya to look after their younger brothers, she went out with a water bottle and a basket.

In the fields, the Yang family father and sons were calculating the time while waiting for their daughter (younger sister) to bring them food.

really!

Not long after, I saw the young lady (younger sister) carrying a water bottle and a basket.

The Yang family and their son were very happy.

Now that the youngest sister cooks, they really have hope.

Yang Jianzhang hurried over to help his younger sister clean the food basket.

While Shuying was pouring water for everyone to drink, Yang Jianzhang was curious about what delicious food his younger sister had prepared, but there was nothing delicious at home for her to cook.

I guess it’s the salted vegetable corn cake again.

Yang Jianzhang opened the basket without much hope, but when he saw the pickled fish made by his little sister in the food basket, he was shocked and excited.

"Little sister, did you make pickled fish again?" Yang Jianzhang suddenly raised his voice.

It’s also because the fields next door are far away and I can’t hear anything.

But Yang's father, eldest brother, third brother and mother, who were still busy in the fields, all stopped their work.

Compared to Yang's mother who was trembling with pain, Yang's father, eldest brother and third brother of the Yang family were all too busy to pay attention to the work at hand and came over to have lunch.

They will never forget the taste of the pickled fish made by their youngest sister last night.

I wanted to eat it in the morning, but fish was very rare, so Father Yang and his family thought it would take some time before they could eat it.

Unexpectedly, my youngest sister did it at noon.

The four Yang family members, father and son, were simply too satisfied with their youngest daughter (younger sister).

The two sisters-in-law also tasted the delicious pickled fish last night. Last night, they kept telling their husbands that they had never eaten anything more delicious than pickled fish in their lives!

The two sisters-in-law felt as hurt as Yang's mother, thinking that since the younger sister started cooking, the food in her family was as good as that of the landlords in the past.

But the food my younger sister cooks is really delicious, and I can’t bring myself to ask her to stop cooking.

"Little sister, that's great!" Yang's eldest brother said excitedly.

The third brother of the Yang family was amazed at the improvement in his family's food. When he was growing winter wheat at home, the most common food at home was corn porridge. How come his family's food became so good in such a short period of time?

Oh my, my little sister is so capable!

Mother Yang angrily scolded the eldest brother of the Yang family: "What good are you doing? When all the oil in the house is gone, what are you going to eat?"

The four Yangs thought that when Yang's mother used to cook, it was as if she didn't add oil at all.

Mother Yang said to Shuying, "And the steamed buns, my lady, you made too many! Just eat until you are 70% full. If you keep eating like this, where will we get enough food?"

Shuying said, "Mom, I caught six fish yesterday. It's not a big deal to just spend some of the food at home. Besides, eating fish can supplement nutrition. Dad is old. As for steamed buns, Dad, big brother and sister-in-law are tired from planting winter wheat. If they don't eat enough, how can they have the energy to work?"

Shuying strongly disagrees with the current view that he works very hard but eats very little.

A few days ago, she heard that a man in a village fainted in the field. It was said that his wife was too stingy and only let him eat 50% to 60% full. If he was not full, she would let him drink cold water. It would be strange if he didn't faint since he didn't eat much and did a lot.

It's good to be frugal, but being too frugal is a bit too much.

And Shuying was indeed worried about Father Yang.

Father Yang is in his fifties and almost sixty this year. Nowadays, most people in the countryside can only live to the age of fifty or sixty. The reason is not because of his severe physical weakness or exhaustion from working hard.

Besides, the time for planting winter wheat is only a few days away. After a while, her mother will definitely not let her enter the kitchen again.

She might as well take advantage of these days to make more delicious and nutritious food for her family to nourish their bodies.

If she wants her mother to be as skilled at sewing as she is, forget it.

Father Yang said, "My daughter caught these fish yesterday. I saw quite a few last night! It's no big deal to waste some food. We still have thousands of pounds of food at home. How can we eat them all so quickly?"

The third brother of the Yang family also echoed what his father said.

How can they have the energy to work if they don't have enough to eat?

In order to get Yang's mother to change her habit of picking nuts, Shuying also talked about the man who fainted in the field due to hunger after being starved by his wife a few days ago.

It is said that her husband is still working in the village clinic, and his wife is now crying and crying, and still has to pay for medical bills.

Shuying's words really went to Yang's mother's heart.

Mother Yang knew more about that family's affairs than her own daughter. Recently, when she went out in the evening to chat with others, they talked about this matter a lot.

Mother Yang now thought that what her young lady said was right. Besides, her husband was almost sixty years old. What if he fainted and something serious happened?

Mother Yang returned home, but she still had deep feelings for Father Yang.

Seeing that Yang's mother was a little hesitant, Shuying didn't say much. He let her mother figure it out herself and invited everyone to have lunch.

Although this pickled fish is delicious, it is not as delicious when it is cold.

The pickled fish tasted very good and the whole family devoured it.

Someone in the neighboring fields smelled the fragrance and asked, "Mr. Yang, what are you eating? Why does it smell so good?"

Mother Yang hurriedly replied: "Nothing to eat!"

Why does the man who is chewing on tasteless coarse grain and mixed flour steamed buns in the field next door feel that the food in the old Yang family has become much more delicious since the daughter of the Yang family came to deliver meals?

He mentioned it casually, and his wife beside him said: "The Yang family's daughter is too sloppy. I don't know how Feng Guifang raised her. If she doesn't save money, what will she eat in the future?"

These days, it's the time for both summer harvest and winter wheat harvest. His wife is too thrifty and makes him eat tasteless coarse grains and mixed flour buns every day. He has to do a lot of work and wonder when this life will end. It would be great if his wife could sew like the daughter of the Yang family.

Shuying had no idea what was going on in the field next to him. He had not forgotten that the village chief had mentioned that a primary school should be built in the village and he agreed to let his third sister-in-law be a teacher there.

She forgot to mention that she had guests yesterday, so now is the perfect opportunity.

In front of everyone at home, Shuying told her third sister-in-law that she could be a primary school teacher in the future, and the village chief originally wanted her to be a teacher, but she gave this opportunity to her third sister-in-law.

Shuying said so much, of course, just to make her third sister-in-law appreciate her kindness?

Be nicer to her parents in the future.

Little did he know that his words would cause an uproar among the Yang family.

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

The Yang family was very surprised and happy that the third sister-in-law Wang Rong could go to the village to be a primary school teacher.

The happiest people were Brother Yang San and his sister-in-law Wang Rong.

You know, being a village teacher is an easy job, with high pay points, and you don’t have to go to the fields every day. It’s a great thing.

Third sister-in-law Wang Rong was so excited that she couldn't say anything. Eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan felt very upset, but she had only attended a blind literacy class, and she knew that her younger sister was not biased.

Apart from the second son and the youngest sister, only the third son's wife has graduated from junior high school. However, the eldest sister-in-law Hong Xiaojuan still thinks that the youngest sister is too stupid to give up such a good thing!

After hearing this, Yang's father, mother, eldest brother and fourth brother all had other ideas in their minds.

Of course, Yang's father, mother, eldest brother and fourth brother secretly hope that their daughter (younger sister) will become a teacher in the village primary school.

Being a teacher is such an easy job, why did you give your little sister to the third son’s wife?

Since the third sister-in-law Wang Rong was around, it was difficult to ask Yang's mother, eldest brother, and fourth brother.

Father Yang said, "Just let the girl make her own decision!"

Now her daughter has found a military officer as her boyfriend and may get married soon. How can she have time to teach in the village?

Mother Yang elbowed her husband. What did her husband say? And she was such a silly girl. How could she give such a good thing to the third son's wife?

Why are you so stupid?

After everyone had lunch and went to work, the third sister-in-law Wang Rong still held Shuying's hand tightly, with a look of gratitude on her face. The look gave Shuying goosebumps all over her body: "Little sister, I misunderstood you before. You are so good to me, the third sister-in-law!"

"Third sister-in-law, I am good to you, so you have to be good to my parents in the future!" Shuying said. If anyone dared to be mean to her parents, she would make her spit out double the amount in the future if she took advantage of her.

Third sister-in-law Wang Rong always felt that the look in her eyes when her younger sister looked at her was a little scary, but she didn't think much about it and nodded quickly, "Of course, of course, Third sister-in-law, I've married into the Yang family and I'm a member of the Yang family. How can I not be good to my parents? The spit in the village will drown me!"

Shuying still understands her third sister-in-law. She is a thoughtful person, but her character is okay and she is also hardworking.

Besides, the current environment is very harsh. If sons and daughters-in-law dare to be unfilial, not only will the elders in the village not be able to forgive them, but their parents can also go to the county town to complain.

Shuying was relieved now.

Apart from the matter of her third sister-in-law, Shuying also didn't want her brothers to have to work hard to earn work points in the future.

After she got married, she had to improve her family's situation first. After all, her mother was stingy because the family was too poor.

She does have a lot of money-making ideas, but simple buying and selling here is all speculation, so forget about doing anything else.

Besides, things were about to get chaotic outside, so it would be safer for her family to stay in the village.

Shuying suddenly asked, "Third sister-in-law, why doesn't our village have a tractor? I heard from my mother that the neighboring village has a tractor!"

Third sister-in-law Wang Rong was extremely nice to Shuying at this time, and immediately replied to her: "Our village also had a tractor before, but that tractor broke down after being used for a long time. The village chief and several team leaders were very distressed at the time. They went to the town to repair it several times, but it broke down again after being used for a while. It was too expensive. Now the village chief and several team leaders are too lazy to repair it!"

Shuying's eyes lit up. What if her brothers could learn some car repair skills?

After the tractor in the village is repaired, it will not be a problem for her to convince the village chief to let her brother drive the tractor.

Driving a tractor is much easier than working in the fields, and the work points are higher.

The more Shuying thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing.

Besides, it is always a good thing to have a skill, whether now or in the future.

By the 1970s and 1980s, repairing and driving cars were both very promising careers.

She needs to plan this matter carefully.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the days of busy planting winter wheat are finally almost over.

After more than half a month of being fed by Shuying, the skinny third brother Yang gradually gained weight on his face. The Yang family members were in good spirits. Father Yang even gained some weight, which was complained by Mother Yang.

After planting winter wheat, the first thing Yangmu did was to take back the right to cook in the kitchen. She has been cooking for the past few days.

With the help of Shuying, it was said that Yang's mother finally stopped digging as much as before and was willing to add some oil, but decades of habits had been ingrained in her bones and were not so easy to change.

In the past, Yang's mother would dip one chopstick into the oil when cooking, but now she dips two chopsticks in, and the taste of the dishes she cooks is no different from before.

Not to mention that the Yang family had previously eaten meals cooked by Shuying.

When planting winter wheat, Shuying would try his best to make delicious food, and even if there were no ingredients, he would come up with something creative.

Now everyone is eating the meals prepared by Yang's mother, and everyone including Yang's father is complaining bitterly, not to mention his nephews and nieces.

When it comes to eating, he looks sad and looks at her eagerly.

Shuying is at a loss now. Her mother is probably afraid of her past greed and doesn't want her to enter the kitchen anymore. All the oil, salt and other ingredients are locked in the cupboard. She has seasonings in the mall, but she can't take them out now. She can only secretly take snacks out from the mall for the kids. When she gets hungry at night, she occasionally eats snacks and instant noodles to fill her stomach.

In the past half month, her boyfriend came to her house to pick her up several times, but unfortunately she was busy and only went to the county town with him twice. Most of the time she went to the county town alone.

She had other things to do in the county town. If she went with her boyfriend, she wouldn't be able to handle things, so she had to refuse him.

There were two happy events in the past half month. One was that two several-year-old ginsengs and a medium-sized Ganoderma lucidum that she had in her mall were sold.

He sold items for 8,000 yuan and exchanged them for 8,000 mall points, which is definitely a large amount. That night, Shuying was shopping on the third floor and had already unlocked the clothing and home textile area on the fourth floor.

Unfortunately, the quality of those good fabrics was so good that she couldn't get them.

The second thing was that the village primary school was built, and her third sister-in-law became a teacher in the village primary school. She was full of energy and vitality than before.

Today, Shuying was peeling corn at home. Not long after, Xiaohu came back and said in a baby voice, "Aunt, uncle is here!"

Shuying looked up and saw a tall man with stern eyes and eyebrows behind him. He picked up Xiaohu and carried him on his shoulders. Xiaohu screamed with joy.

The eldest and second nieces were timid and looked at Xiaohu with envy. Chen Xi asked the two nieces if they wanted to try it. The two girls blushed and shook their heads, so Chen Xi did not force them.

Shuying brought a bowl of boiled water from the main room and handed it to the other party: "Why are you here?"

The man pursed his thin lips and said "hmm" indifferently. He didn't drink the water and put it aside.

Shuying is very sensitive to people's emotions. She feels that something is wrong with her partner's mood today.

Could it be that she was too busy in the past half month and neglected him, making him unhappy?

Shuying was distracted when he heard the other party say quietly, "I have something to talk to you about. Can we go for a walk at the entrance of the village?"

Of course Shuying nodded in agreement.

She was actually a little upset. The man in front of her had a serious and cold expression on his face. She always felt that what her boyfriend told her was not a good thing.

What does her boyfriend want to say to her? Could it be that after being together for a long time, he feels that there is no point in being together anymore and wants to break up with her?

After telling his nephews and nieces that he was going out for a while, Shuying sat in the back seat absent-mindedly.

During these days, this man came to her house several times, and people in the village saw it, but the two of them had not yet been engaged. Yang's mother was worried about her daughter's reputation, so she just said that the man was her fourth brother's friend. Whether people believed it or not was up to others.

The car stopped at a deserted place at the entrance of the village. Shuying got off the car and Chen Xi pushed the bicycle. The two walked side by side. Chen Xi first told them that he had to go out for a mission tomorrow and that he would not be back for sure.

Shuying heard her boyfriend's tone and realized that he didn't want to break up with her. She gradually breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Oh!"

When she was dating him, Shuying knew his identity as a soldier, and she was prepared for him to go out on missions frequently.

"I saw you in the county town a few days ago. Are you going to the county town for something?" the man asked calmly. In fact, he had encountered more than one case where his partner rejected him and then secretly went to the county town.

These words caught Shuying off guard and made her feel very guilty.

She had rejected her boyfriend's invitation to go to the county town several times before, but she went to the county town secretly by herself. Anyone would have thought too much about this.

No wonder this man looked weird today.

Shuying still had a good impression of his partner and tried to explain: "I went to the county town for some serious business. I didn't reject you on purpose a few days ago!"

The man didn't say anything, just stared at her with an expressionless face.

The man was too tall, and Shuying could only look up at his cold and hard outline. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, his sharp eyes were dark and looked at Shuying with trepidation.

"Do you think we are suitable?"

What?

We have even mentioned such a serious issue as whether it is appropriate or not?

Tree Shadow asked tentatively, "What's wrong with us?"

It's over. Her partner must really regret it. Shuying felt a little regretful that she agreed to be with the partner so easily.

Isn't it that people regret it now?

"What do you think?" the man asked.

"I think we are doing fine now!" At least we haven't had any arguments!

"What do you think of my partner?" the man continued to ask.

"Very good!" Whether at the beginning or now, her feelings towards the man in front of her have not changed, and the other party has not treated her unfairly.

She has invested a lot in this relationship, but if the other party is really determined to break up with her, she can't keep pestering him.

The only thing Shuying was thankful for now was that the news that she was dating the other party had not spread in the village, otherwise she would become a topic of conversation again.

Shuying is a decisive person and wants to cut the Gordian knot quickly, just wanting the other party to speak frankly.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Comrade Yang, since you are so satisfied with me as a partner, I am also very satisfied with you. I think we can consider the next step of becoming revolutionary partners. Don't worry, I will work hard to be a qualified husband and a qualified father in the future. Comrade Yang, are you willing to give me this opportunity?"

Shuying: “…” What?

Chen Xi then mentioned that he had found a worker position for Yang's father in a furniture factory in the county town.

Not only that, if the brothers of the Yang family were interested in repairing and driving cars, he had already found a very capable old driver for her at the county transport factory.

The old driver can drive and repair cars, and he has already made arrangements.

The Yang brothers can study whenever they want.

Chen Xi also fully agrees with her boyfriend's idea of ​​teaching his brothers a skill to rely on.

Shuying was really confused. How did this man know all this? And he arranged everything for her! Oh my god!

The man said solemnly with a stern face: "Comrade Yang, you were unwilling to be honest and open to me before, it must be that I didn't do well enough. But from the beginning, I have been dating you on the basis of establishing a revolutionary partner. In the future, if I do not do well enough, you can point it out, and I will work hard to learn to do better and work hard to gain your trust!"

As he said this, the man took out a passbook from his trouser pocket and said that all his assets and wages would be handed over to her in the future.

Tree Shadow: “…”
