"Ningning, keep this money for yourself, your second brother doesn't need it." Shen Zhengliang stuffed the hundred yuan that Shen Chuning had asked his eldest brother to bring him back to Shen Chuning.
"Second brother, take this money first, just think of it as a loan from me." Chen Chu Ning rarely put on a serious face and said seriously: "Your marriage is a big deal, you have to do it decently."
Chen Zhengliang smiled bitterly and said, "Ningning, my marriage is different from yours and my brother's. You are forming a revolutionary partner with your like-minded lover. And I am just..."
Shen Zhengliang said, with an even more bitter smile, and shook his head, “Forget it, I won’t say anything more.”
Then, he looked at Chen Chu Ning, "Ning Ning, your kindness is accepted by your second brother. However, it is not my decision not to accept the money alone. It was decided together with the Li family.
My father and I have just discussed it. Our two families won't hold a wedding banquet. We will just give ten dollars as a token of our appreciation, and the Li family will give some new quilts or other dowry. After eldest brother's wedding, choose a good day and I will go and bring Li Xiaolan to our house. ”
When Shen Chuning heard this, he sighed in his heart.
She could understand that neither Chen Zhengliang nor Li Xiaolan wanted to hold a wedding banquet. After all, the one they married was not the one they loved, and the one they married was not the one they liked.
It's just that two sad people were forced to get together due to the situation.
To them, this wedding was probably nothing worth celebrating.
Shen Chu Ning no longer refused and took the money back.
But she couldn't help but worry. Li Xiaolan already had thoughts of committing suicide. What if she was forced to marry her second brother and still couldn't get over it...
When Shen Zhengliang was about to leave, Shen Chuning couldn't help but ask her: "Second brother, did you meet Wang Zhiqing today?"
Shen Zhengliang paused for a moment, and without answering her, he just walked away.
Seeing him like this, Shen Chu Ning could only sigh.
After Shen Zhengliang left, Lin Shulan brought food to Shen Chuning and asked about the situation at her mother's house.
He told her that if her parents' home needed any help from them, she should just ask.
At the same time, I told her not to cook dinner when she comes home from get off work in the future because it’s cold and the water monster will freeze her hands.
If she didn't want to eat with them, she would bring the food over for her.
The mother-in-law was so nice that Shen Chu Ning felt a little embarrassed, "Mom, it doesn't have to be like this. I saw that the sisters-in-law in the village were working when they were pregnant. It's no problem for me to cook for myself.
Besides, I haven’t even gone to the hospital to confirm. What if it’s just that my period is late and I’m not pregnant? ”
Lin Shulan deliberately frowned and said, "Whether you are pregnant or not, I am willing to support you. When you were at your mother's house, you didn't do any work in the middle of winter. Now that you are married into our family, I can't let you live any worse than when you were at your mother's house!"
The mother-in-law has said so much, it would be hypocritical for Shen Chu Ning to refuse again.
She smiled and hugged Lin Shulan's arm and said, "Thank you, mother. Then I won't be polite to you. I will eat at your place from now on."
Anyway, the two sides are close, just separated by a wall.
Lin Shulan patted her hands and said, "This is my good daughter."
"By the way, will the third brother come back tonight?" Lin Shulan asked Shen Chuning again.
Chen Chuning shook his head, "Brother Yubai said that he might be very busy in the near future and might not be able to come back."
Lin Shulan nodded, "That's right. Our team has been notified to hold a meeting tomorrow. I guess they are going to talk about finding people to build a road in the mountains.
As long as the road is built, the oil in the mountains will probably be dug out and transported out. The third brother will definitely be busy during this period. ”
After Shen Chuning finished her meal, Lin Shulan took the dishes back there to wash.
After Shen Chuning washed herself, she moved the small table that Zhou Yubai had made specifically for her to the bed.
Covered with a quilt to keep warm in bed, she began to slowly recall and organize the accounting knowledge she had dreamed of.
I plan to share as many skills as possible with accountants in the town to help improve the accounting level of the entire town. This can be regarded as another form of cultivating talents for the country.
Shen Chu Ning used to read and take notes until eleven or twelve o'clock without feeling tired.
It was around nine o'clock now, and she was already feeling sleepy. The kerosene lamp was dim, and she was so sleepy that she could hardly see clearly.
She didn't dare to stay up late now, and was afraid that she would accidentally fall asleep and knock over the kerosene lamp, directly burning the house.
So, I put away the notebook, turned off the oil lamp and went to sleep.
Before going to bed, she was still thinking that it would be great if the village could have electricity earlier. Once the electricity was connected, it would be much more convenient for her to read, study or work at night.
At least it won't hurt your eyes as much as under a kerosene lamp.
As a result, when she got off work the next day, she heard the good news from Lin Shulan.
The team held a meeting today and not only did we talk about road construction, but we also talked about electricity supply.
Let everyone think about how many lights to install at home in the next two days, because the current electricity bill is still charged according to the "package lighting system".
That is, the charge is based on the number of lamp holders and the wattage of the bulb. A 15-light (i.e. 15-watt) bulb costs four cents a month, and a 25-light (i.e. 25-watt) bulb costs six cents a month.
Shen Chuning told Lin Shulan without hesitation that every room in their house was equipped with 25-light bulbs, including the kitchen and the bathroom, a total of five lights.
Lin Shulan didn't think it was a waste to install so many lights. After listening to her, she nodded and said, "Okay, Mom will help you register with the brigade tomorrow."
Next, Lin Shulan talked about the road construction. There was nothing to do in winter. Even a strong laborer could not earn many work points in the winter.
Now that there is such a good job, everyone will definitely be vying to do it.
Finally, in order to be fair, the brigade decided that each family would provide one strong laborer to build the road. If some families did not have strong laborers, they would provide two and a half laborers and receive the same treatment as one strong laborer.
In the blink of an eye, it's the rest day again.
Shen Chu Ning hasn't gone to the hospital for a check-up yet. After she calmed down these few days, she was actually skeptical about her pregnancy.
She hadn't paid attention to or thought about pregnancy before, but in the past few days, she carefully recalled what happened in her dream.
In the dream, after she found out she was pregnant, not only did her menstruation not come, but she also felt nauseous and vomited and couldn't eat.
She doesn't have any such symptoms at all. She enjoys everything she eats every day and can fall asleep as soon as she touches the pillow. She is just like a pig.
So she planned to go to the hospital for a check-up during her day off.
It was a day off, and Shen Chuning didn't want to bother Lin Shulan anymore, but she had been used to staying in the donkey cart in the warmth at work recently, and she couldn't bear the hardship of riding a bike in the biting cold wind, so she told Uncle Luo in advance and asked him to take her to the hospital.
Unexpectedly, just as she went out and was about to get on the donkey cart, she ran into Zhou Yubai coming back.
