After Lu Qiaoqing left, Shen Chuning took a piece of meat from the space and returned to the Shen family.
"Ningning is back."
Shen Zhengliang was collecting firewood in the yard. When he saw Shen Chuning, he greeted her with a smug smile on his face.
Chen Chuning: It seems that my second brother is very proud of his love life recently!
After Shen Zhengliang greeted Shen Chuning, he didn’t say much, and went out with firewood on his back.
Shen Chuning watched his second brother's back and asked Shen Zhengxu, who had just come out of the kitchen, with some confusion, "Brother, where is the second brother carrying the firewood?"
"Where else can I carry you?" Shen Zhengxu looked helpless. "I can carry the educated youth."
Shen Chuning: …
Lu Qiaoqing did tell her that the educated youth group was already preparing firewood for the winter.
The person in charge assigned tasks to each of them, requiring each of them to prepare two hundred kilograms of firewood.
Although the winter in Sichuan Province is not cold for long, those few days when it is cold are like a magical attack, and the cold air can penetrate through the skin and into the bones.
So every household will burn stoves in the house to keep warm in winter.
There are no coal coupons in the countryside, so people can’t buy coal and have to rely on hard firewood to burn in the stove.
Shen Chu Ning shook her head. Her second brother's love-brain symptoms were serious!
I don’t know if the medicine she prepared is strong enough and whether it can be effective in one dose and make my second brother wake up.
"Brother, I bought a piece of meat. Let's eat braised pork with potatoes tonight!" Shen Chuning smiled and handed the meat to Shen Zhengxu.
Shen Zhengxu looked at the meat in Shen Chuning's hand, swallowing his saliva and feeling really sad. In the months before and after his sister's wedding, their family ate meat more times than in previous years combined.
No, more than the previous ten years combined.
In the past, they could only have a proper meal during the Chinese New Year when the villagers distributed pork. On other days, they considered eating meat as if they had some meat.
“Little sister…” Shen Zhengxu took the meat, still wanting to tell Shen Chuning that even if she had money in her hand, she should spend it sparingly.
But before he could say anything, Shen Chu Ning stopped him, “Brother, I’m not giving you this meat for free today, I’m going to ask you and Dad to help me.
Where is dad? ”
Chen Zhengxu knew that his little sister was afraid that he would miss her, so he pinched her nose lovingly and helplessly, "You little girl is so hardworking that you have passed the examination to become one of the eight members of the commune. Shouldn't your father go out and brag to others?"
Shen Chu Ning smiled sweetly, "Then I'll trouble you, brother, to make dinner. I'll go talk to Sister He Hui for a while."
Shen Chu Ning finished speaking and ran to the next door.
Shen Zhengxu looked at her back, smiled dotingly and shook his head.
When she arrived at the He family, it was Aunt He who opened the door for her.
Seeing her, Aunt He was also very happy, "Ningning is here! Are you here to look for our Xiaohui? She is in the house making your clothes, come in!"
"Thank you, Aunt He." Shen Chu Ning thanked him and went into the house.
There are only He Hui and her brother and sister in the He family.
After Aunt He greeted Shen Chuning and returned to the kitchen, He Hui's sister-in-law Ding Dongni came up and said, "Mom, are you really planning to marry my little sister to the eldest brother of the Shen family?"
Some time ago, her mother-in-law was arranging a match for her younger sister-in-law, but she hasn't been doing that recently.
Moreover, she had seen her sister-in-law giving gifts to the eldest brother of the Shen family several times, and Shen Chuning had also given gifts to her sister-in-law during this period.
All kinds of yellow rubber shoes, egg cakes, candies, sesame cakes, even the boys and girls in her family took advantage of their aunt and ate a lot of them.
"Well, your younger sister likes him. He was raised by your father and I, so he can't be wrong. Besides, our two families live close to each other, and when your younger sister marries him in the future, Boss Shen will have to think twice before bullying her." Aunt He said.
"There's nothing wrong with Boss Shen, except that his age is a little too old," said Ding Dongni.
Aunt He didn't care. "Why are you afraid of being older? You will be more caring when you are older. Look at how well Shen Chu Ning is doing after marrying Zhou Yubai."
"That's right." Ding Dongni thought about it and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense.
She also hopes that her sister-in-law can marry well. After all, her sister-in-law is a good person. Her two boys and one girl were basically raised by her sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law and mother-in-law are very skillful and usually make clothes for the villagers to earn eggs.
I never eat all the money I earn alone, we all share it together.
Even before, because she was in confinement after giving birth, most of the eggs earned by her sister-in-law went into her stomach.
Later, my sister-in-law thought about the nutrition her three children needed, so she gave most of the eggs she earned to the three younger ones.
The sister-in-law is sensible, and she, as the eldest sister-in-law, cannot lose face.
She figured that since her mother-in-law hadn't shown her sister-in-law a date, she probably had already made an agreement with the Shen family, and that they would get married when the farming season was over.
She would have to discuss with her husband in the evening about what kind of decent dowry they should give to her sister-in-law.
In the house.
When Shen Chuning entered the room, He Hui was finishing a cotton coat.
Shen Chuning looked at the stitches on the cotton-padded jacket made by He Hui. They were neat and detailed, better than those made by the old tailors in the state-owned tailor shops.
It just so happened that He Hui had finished finishing this cotton coat. Shen Chuning picked it up and looked at it again and again, praising it endlessly, "Sister He Hui, you are so skillful. If you go to work in a state-owned tailor shop, everyone will definitely line up to ask you to make clothes."
He Hui was embarrassed by Shen Chuning's praise, and her ears blushed slightly as she said, "Ningning, you are the only one who can coax people with a sweet mouth, I am not as good as you say, only state-owned tailor shops would not look down on my skills!
But you are really amazing. You became a public society accountant in one go, and you will have a stable job in the government in the future. ”
He Hui looked at Shen Chuning with genuine envy.
"Sister He Hui, is this cotton coat made for my eldest brother?"
Shen Chuning originally wanted to tell He Hui that when the country was liberalized and she could do business, she could open a clothing store and a tailor shop. With her skills, the business would definitely be good.
But after thinking about it, even though she had dreamed that she could do business freely in the future, dreams were just something she could just let go of believing in.
If she tells others about it, others might think she is a fool, and if those who like to make a big deal out of things hear it, they might accuse her of being a feudal superstitious person.
So she changed the subject.
He Hui's ears turned even redder, and she nodded embarrassedly, "Well, I haven't made cotton-padded clothes for a long time, so I thought I'd make Brother Shen's clothes first to practice, and then I can make better clothes for Uncle Shen."
"Understand! I understand everything!" Shen Chu Ning smiled mischievously.
She held the clothes in one hand and pulled He Hui with the other and said, "Sister He Hui, let's go find my eldest brother to try on clothes."
She didn't even give He Hui a chance to refuse and just pulled her out.
When she ran to the yard, she even called out in the direction of the He family's kitchen, "Aunt He, Sister He Hui is having dinner at my house tonight."
He Hui: “Hey——”
Before she could react, she was dragged out of the courtyard by Shen Chuning.
