Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Question, understand, become
Shen Yinyin and her son did not go back that day and stayed in Yangliu Brigade.
Shen Moer's place naturally could not accommodate them. They were all relatives. The old Shen family's first house was tight, but the second and third houses were actually okay. They could definitely vacate half a room for them to stay temporarily. However, Shen Yinyin did not want to get involved with the brothers in front of her, so she simply went to find her sisters from her youth and shamelessly took her son to stay.
The children in that family were not married yet, so they had ample housing. In addition, Shen Yinyin took some sweet potato chips and dried vegetables that she had dried at home. It was just a few days of staying, and she didn't have to worry about food, so the family was quite happy.
But behind the scenes, I couldn't help but sigh that they were not born from the same mother. I'm afraid that the relationship between Shen Yinyin and her brother and the previous ones will become more and more strained.
With the help of Shen Yinyin and her son, the speed of building the house was obviously accelerated. By the beginning of September, once the beams were put up and the tiles were covered, a brand new green brick tile house was completed. In the meantime, Shen Shaoyuan even went to the commune and asked Xu Weiguo to help buy some glass and install glass windows for the house.
However, what surprised everyone the most was the small bathroom built next to the house. The pipes were paved with green bricks and cement, and connected to the pool buried in the ground at the back, which was also made of green bricks and cement. According to Fu Mingze, this pool can also play the role of composting manure. A group of old farmers were amazed and half-believing.
Although it is just a small room, the cost is really not low. However, when you think about how much more convenient it is to take a shower or go to the toilet, everyone can't help but feel a little jealous. After
the house was built, the next step was to let it dry for a while, and then put some things in it.
When Shen Yinyin and her son saw that the work was done, they said they wanted to leave. Although they were afraid that something difficult would delay their stay when they left home, and told their family that they might return in a few days, they did not expect that it would be to build a house. They have been here for more than ten days, and
their family is so anxious. Shen Moer has been with them for more than ten days, and she likes Shen Yinyin's straightforward personality. Zhao Zhengyang and Zhao Zhenghui are also straightforward and kind, so she discussed with Shen Shaoyuan and persuaded them to stay for another day and have a meal together as a thank you and a celebration.
According to their local customs, wine should be served when the beam is raised, but the current trend is to promote frugality. If wine is served ostentatiously, it is easy to be criticized. It is okay to have a meal with the people who helped build the house.
Since this day is not a big deal, Shen Yinyin asked her two sons to go up the mountain early the next morning, and she went to the commune with Shen Moer.
This day happened to be the day of the Maque Market Market. The two of them bought tofu made by the members of the commune, dried tofu skin, and a small basket of loaches at the market.
Shen Yinyin said happily: "Even if your cousin and his friends didn't get much in the mountains, this basket of loaches is a good dish."
Shen Moer: "Well, one loach stewed with tofu and one dried bean curd roll, two dishes."
They left Maque Market and went to the dormitory in the textile factory area. They found Qiaojie's house. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the rich aroma of buns. Shen Moer said quickly: "Qiaojie, I "We want four buns first, two with scallions and two with vegetarian fillings, and we'll eat them here."
Qiaojie agreed with a smile, and soon she brought four buns in an enamel pot, and asked, "I haven't seen Fu Zhiqing for a while, didn't he come?" The
last time she saw Fu Mingze talking to Shen Moer, Fu Mingze was a cold-tempered person, idle and didn't pay much attention to others, so Qiaojie guessed that Fu Mingze and Shen Moer should have a good relationship.
"He has been very busy recently. Not only is he helping my family build a house, but it seems that the Zhiqing site is also going to do some composting experiment." Shen Moer said.
Probably inspired by her family's toilet, the educated youth camp also wanted to build a toilet like this, but they had a lot of people there, so it was impossible for them to build a small toilet like hers. Also, even if they built a small toilet, it would cost a lot. Although they had a lot of people, few were willing to pay, especially for such a dispensable thing, so they gave up in the end.
I don't know how they discussed it, but they decided to build a pond to make compost and rot, strive to increase the output of grain in the next season, and truly play the role that educated youth should play in socialist construction.
The old farmers in the village probably didn't believe it, but Zhang Zhiqiang, the leader of the educated youth camp, was very enthusiastic this time. He worked hard to ask the team leader for some money and called on the educated youth to contribute money and manpower, and he really got the matter done.
As a result, Comrade Fu Mingze immediately threw herself into the "cause" of the educated youth camp as soon as she finished building a house for her family.
After listening to Shen Moer's explanation, Qiaojie smiled and said, "Fu Zhiqing is a capable person."
Shen Moer then asked, "Qiaojie is familiar with Fu Zhiqing?"
In fact, she was curious when she first met Fu Mingze here. Fu Mingze was obviously very poor. With his financial resources, he should have nothing to do with Qiaojie and the black market traders like Baoge.
Qiaojie hesitated for a moment and only said vaguely, "Fu Zhiqing helped me. Sometimes when he had more money, he would come over to have a bite."
Seeing that she didn't elaborate, Shen Moer didn't ask any more questions.
After Qiaojie left, Shen Yinyin lowered her voice and said, "Even vegetarian buns cost five cents each. These buns are not cheap. Moer, you can eat them. If there are any left, take them back to your father." She was reluctant to eat such expensive buns.
Shen Moer directly stuffed the buns into her mouth and said, "When we leave later, buy some more and take them back to my father and cousin."
She added, "Aunt, don't feel bad for my father. He works in a kiln factory now. He has a salary and subsidies. His life is much better than before, and I believe that he will get better and better in the future. Besides, we only eat here occasionally, not every day. You can help me. You've worked so hard for so many days, can't I treat you to a bun?"
Shen Yinyin's niece stuffed a mouthful of buns, and she had no choice but to eat: "Okay, I'll eat it, the buns are really delicious, I can be said to be enjoying the blessing of my brother and niece."
The buns are made of Fuqiang flour, the flour is fine and smooth, and the fillings are well seasoned, especially the meat buns, which are full of soup when you take a bite, so delicious that you can't help swallowing your tongue.
In fact, if you really count it, five cents for a vegetarian bun and eight cents for a green onion bun are not expensive, after all, no tickets are required, but people these days are used to being frugal, and it's a bit painful to spend one or two cents to eat two buns.
After eating, Shen Moer bought ten buns and two pounds of pork from Qiaojie, put them all in the bamboo basket, and put the tofu, tofu skin and loach bought from the Maque Market on top.
"Qiaojie, if it's convenient, can you help me find some fabric next time? My family just built a new house and I want to make a new quilt for the bed."
Qiaojie glanced at Shen Yinyin, and Shen Moer said hurriedly: "This is my aunt, don't worry, she won't tell anyone."
Qiaojie then agreed: "Okay, come over in ten days or half a month and have a look. I don't welcome strangers here. It's only because Lao Er brought you here and I saw that you are familiar with Fu Zhiqing, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take this job."
Making a few buns by yourself and giving them to others is completely different from looking for things to resell.
Shen Moer smiled: "Qiaojie, I know."
The two of them came out of Qiaojie's house and just passed an intersection when they were stopped by a middle-aged woman who came out from the side. This woman had a lot of white in her eyes, and she always seemed to be rolling her eyes when she looked at people. She grabbed Shen Moer and pretended to turn over the bamboo basket behind her: "You came from Niu Qiaoqiao, right? Did you buy buns from her family? Is her family engaged in speculation..."
Before she could touch the bamboo basket, Shen Moer twisted her arm. The woman screamed immediately: "Ah ah "Ah, it hurts, it hurts, you little bitch, let go, let go!"
Shen Moer kicked her in the knee and made her kneel on the ground, then said: "I exchanged eggs with Qiaojie for two buns, why do you have to interfere when we are just friends exchanging some food? You are too nosy." The woman sat on the ground
for a long time without getting up, rubbing her knees vigorously, and cried out in pain: "How can you be so strong, little girl? You hurt me, I can't even stand up, you..."
"You are not going to cheat me out of money, are you? We poor and middle peasants are not afraid of this." Shen Moer said lightly.
Shen Yinyin was even more eager to fight: "Why, we were just walking on the road, and you came up to tease us, I think you just deserve a beating. We mountain people may not have anything else, but we have strength."
The woman knew that she had met a tough guy today, and she got up from the ground: "Forget it, forget it, you country people have always been unruly, I won't bother with you, don't even think about fighting, then everyone in the neighborhood can kick you to the south of the Yangtze River, only I have a big heart..."
She spoke toughly, but she walked very fast, and soon she sneaked into a small bungalow with a pomegranate tree planted at the door.
Shen Yinyin: "Is Qiaojie being targeted?"
Shen Moer thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and warn her."
They went back and told Qiaojie about the incident. Qiaojie looked unhappy, but she still thanked them and tried to give them two more buns, but Shen Moer refused.
Shen Moer and her friends came here on the donkey cart of the team. After buying things, they went back to where the donkey cart was parked. If
the people who came out with them had not returned yet, they would wait on the donkey cart first.
Suddenly, Shen Yinyin poked Shen Moer with her elbow and whispered, "Moer, look, is that girl over there looking at you?"
Having woken up early in the morning, Shen Moer was already a little sleepy and was leaning on the donkey cart, about to fall asleep. Hearing this, she looked up and saw another donkey cart parked under another big tree not far ahead. A young girl was sitting near the front of the donkey cart, staring at her intently.
Shen Moer saw clearly that the person was Liu Yinshuang and could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Would this girl yell at her again?
But when she looked up, Liu Yinshuang actually got off the donkey cart, stood there hesitating for a few seconds, and then, as if she had mustered up her courage, raised her head and walked in front of Shen Moer with a fearless look.
Shen Moer: "..."
She had tasted what it felt like to be treated like a ghost.
However, didn't this girl avoid her and run away when she saw her? Why did she come here today?
Liu Yinshuang not only walked up to Shen Moer, but also spoke: "Shen Moer, do you still remember me? I'm Liu Jihong. Our classrooms were next to each other when we were in junior high school. Oh, by the way, I'm not Liu Jihong now. I changed my name. I'm Liu Yinshuang now."
Shen Moer nodded in confusion: "Yeah, I remember a little." Liu Yinshuang
looked at Shen Moer with a complicated expression. After a while, she sighed softly and said: "Although there are many... Things have changed, but it's good that you are alive. I hope you can live well in the future."
She said this without any reason, and Shen Yinyin immediately got angry: "Hey, how can you talk like that, girl? What do you mean by hope to live well in the future? My Moer is fine, why are you cursing her for no reason?"
Liu Yinshuang glanced at Shen Yinyin, with a look that said "I have nothing to say to you mortals", and turned away without saying anything.
Shen Yinyin: "Why is this person like this!"
Only Shen Moer understood what Liu Yinshuang meant at the scene. It seemed that Comrade Liu finally accepted the fact that she was not a ghost but was indeed not dead.
And many of the things she said had changed, maybe not only the fact that she was not dead had changed, but other things had also changed... For example, the person Liu Yinshuang thought would dig up wild ginseng did not dig up wild ginseng in the end.
Shen Moer comforted Shen Yinyin: "She was indeed my classmate. She has some peculiar ideas. She probably didn't curse me on purpose."
Aunt Luo from the village who was riding in the donkey cart next to them said: "That's Liu Yinshuang from Songshu Brigade. She's not in a normal mind."
Seeing Shen Yinyin's bewildered face, Aunt Luo quickly shared the gossip she knew: "Her family favors boys over girls and wanted to give her to her brother in exchange for marriage. She refused. I heard that she cried and begged for many days at home, but her family didn't give in. Then at the beginning of the year, she went to school. It rained the day before and the road was slippery. She fell and hit her head. Fortunately, she was found by other people who went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Otherwise, she might have fainted in the cold weather and might not have survived. "
Who knew that she was like a different person after returning from the hospital. When her mother asked her to marry someone else, she took a kitchen knife from the stove and said that it was impossible to marry someone else. If she was forced again, she would kill her brother first. Oh my god, the Liu family was scared to death. Later The Liu family didn't dare to mention the marriage exchange, and only said that they would find a partner for her, hoping to marry her off in exchange for a dowry. But the girl took out a kitchen knife from the stove and said that she would kill anyone who wanted to exchange her for a dowry. "
Aunt Luo continued, "There will be a lot of trouble in the future. If her brother is given an extra piece of meat, she will make a fuss. If her brother is given an extra egg, she will make a fuss. Anyway, she makes trouble every day. Not to mention her family, even the people in their team can't do anything about her."
Shen Yinyin was stunned and murmured: "Then this girl is really amazing."
Shen Moer had heard about Liu Yinshuang before, but she didn't know as much as this Aunt Luo. She couldn't help but say, "Aunt Luo, you are really amazing. You know so much about the Songshu Brigade. It seems that you have a lot of connections!"
Aunt Luo usually likes to gossip about other people. When she heard Shen Moer say that she has a lot of connections, she smiled with wrinkles on her face: "Hey, it's okay. There are a few sisters from our youth in the Songshu Brigade. We just chat when we meet."
Shen Moer thought that this was not just a casual chat, he understood it so carefully, it was almost like seeing it with his own eyes. While
they were talking, Liu Yinshuang returned to the donkey cart of the Songshu Brigade, and found that the seat near the front of the cart where she had placed her bamboo basket had been taken by someone else, and her bamboo basket had also been moved to the side. Her face suddenly darkened, and she stared at the young wife who had taken her seat, and said, "Go back to where you came from."
The young wife blushed, but did not move. Instead, she said softly, "On this donkey cart, you can sit wherever there is an empty seat. There are no fixed seats. If you leave by yourself, if it's not me who sits here, someone else will."
Liu Yinshuang suddenly became irritable, pointed at the young wife's nose and cursed, "You... You green tea bitch, don't play your tricks on me. Let me tell you, it works on others but not on me. Damn, what annoys me most are you green tea bitches who say one thing but do another. Are you gonna get out of here?!"
The young wife's eyes suddenly turned red. She glanced at the other people in the donkey cart hesitantly and sobbed, "You, you, why are you so unreasonable? It's just a position. Can't you talk to me nicely? How can you curse at me?" The other people in the donkey cart looked
at Liu Yinshuang, and no one dared to say anything. Instead, they all moved their butts, trying to get farther away from the front of the car.
They sighed one after another. The young wife had just married into the Songshu Brigade not long ago. She didn't understand the situation yet, otherwise she would know that she could offend anyone but not Liu Yinshuang. Without
saying a word, Liu Yinshuang took out a pair of scissors from her pocket: "I'll scratch your face and then you'll leave, or leave now?!"
The scissors were about to poke her face. The young wife screamed in fear: "What are you doing, you, I, I... Can't I move away, wuwuwu..."
Seeing that no one on the donkey cart said anything to help, the young wife changed her position crying and moved Liu Yinshuang's bamboo basket back to its original place.
On the other side, on the donkey cart of the Yangliu Brigade, Aunt Luo winked at Shen Moer: "Did you see that? This girl is so fierce. She really dares to fight to the death. She is so arrogant that she is afraid of death. Now no one in their brigade dares to mess with her easily."
Shen Yinyin was amazed: "This is really fiercer than the people in our mountains." Shen
Moer looked over there and saw Liu Yinshuang sitting back in her original position with a bamboo basket. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
In fact, strictly speaking, Comrade Liu's methods may be a bit radical, but what she did was not wrong. Whether it was resisting the exchange of marriages in her family, her parents' favoritism, or just grabbing a position, she just adopted some methods that others thought were more excessive when her interests were maliciously violated.
It's quite interesting.
Of course, what she said was quite interesting. She scolded the young wife as a green tea bitch, saying that her tea smelled like tea. It was a bit hard to understand at first. After all, how can people and tea be compared? But after careful consideration, Shen Moer found that her statement was quite vivid.
This was how Shen Moer felt when facing Tian Fang.
Everyone was finally gathered. Uncle Liu flicked the whip, and the donkey cart started to run.
The car was packed with people. Not long after the car ran, a young wife with delicate eyebrows and eyes sniffed and said in a low voice: "Did anyone buy buns? They smell so good!"
No one in the whole donkey cart said a word.
This is nonsense, you are not the only one with a nose, everyone has a nose, and everyone can smell the fragrance of the buns.
But this is understandable, who comes to the commune but to buy some food, drinks and daily necessities, not to mention there is a mahjong market today, and many people have found good things on this donkey cart, so some people bought buns to eat at home, although it is envious, but it is not surprising, anyone with a little sense would not say this.
After all, it was someone else who bought the buns this time, what if it was you who bought the pancakes next time?
Seeing that no one responded, the young wife was still unwilling to give up. She sniffed and asked in the direction of Shen Moer: "It's you, right? It smells like you bought a lot. Where did you buy it? Was it the state-owned hotel? The buns are so delicious. How much are they?"
Shen Yinyin couldn't bear it anymore: "No, we did buy buns. We are building a new house and we bought a few buns to thank everyone. What's wrong with you meddling in other people's business? What does the amount of money have to do with you? Why do you have to do a good deed to help us make up the money? Really, it's so offensive. Why do I feel so uncomfortable listening to it?!" Obviously
, everyone heard what Liu Yinshuang said just now, and Comrade Shen Yinyin even put it into practice immediately.
"I, I'm just asking casually, why are you so fierce?" The young wife looked like she was about to cry.
Shen Moer frowned and asked directly: "Do you want me to beat you up before you shut up, or do you want to shut up now?"
Questioning Liu Yinshuang, understanding Liu Yinshuang, becoming Liu Yinshuang.
The young wife met Shen Moer's eyes, shrank, and shut her mouth tightly. She felt that if she said one more word, Shen Moer would really beat her up.
Luo's mother muttered with a hint of meaning: "Nowadays, these young wives..."
The people on the donkey cart soon understood what Luo's mother meant. Nowadays, young wives are too tactless. The one in Songshu Brigade is like this, and the one in Yangliu Brigade is also like this. They are looking for trouble. Isn't this waiting for people to scold them?
Because Shen Yinyin and Shen Moer were very rude, there were no more troubles on the road. It was just that the others were a little overwhelmed by the smell of the buns. But they also understood that the new house of Shen Laoqi's family was built and they wanted to treat everyone to a meal.
In fact, even if it was just a dinner, buying buns from the commune was a big deal, so many people sighed in their hearts. They all said that the Shen family was generous. The people who worked for them had a good meal this time. Now it seems that the food was even better than they imagined. Thinking of
this, I really envied the people who worked for them.
At the same time, I couldn't understand the magical operation of the first and second rooms of the Shen family.
When Shen Moer and her friends got home, they found that the family was already busy cooking. There was a pot of meat bubbling in the big iron pot, and the rich and tempting meat aroma was almost floating for two miles.
"Comrade Shen Moer, Comrade Zhao Zhengyang and Comrade Zhao Zhenghui are so amazing, they are as amazing as you!"
Zheng Jiamin was as happy as a wild civet in a melon field. He went up the mountain with Zhao Zhengyang and the others this morning, and it was clear that he was still excited. He chattered: "They took me deeper into the mountain, and we met a wolf, a wolf! My god, my legs were so weak from fear at that time. If they hadn't dragged me away, I felt that I would have almost died in the mountain!"
Zhao Zhengyang didn't take it seriously: "How could it be, we had knives with us, and we could have chopped it down if we really couldn't. We ran because we were afraid of encountering a wolf pack. After all, we didn't bring hunting dogs or guns. It would have been troublesome if we encountered a wolf pack."
Zheng Jiamin admired them: "Listen, listen, this is our pheasant catching hero! He is not afraid of the lone wolf, he is brave and resourceful, he is quick to catch the pheasant with ease! Let's applaud the brave Comrade Zhao Zhengyang and Comrade Zhao Zhenghui!"
Zhao Zhengyang: "..."
Zhao Zhenghui: "..."
Aunt Chen standing in front of the stove laughed: "Oh my god! , this educated youth Zheng is really a stingy ghost."
There were pheasants caught by Zhao Zhengyang and his friends, and meat, loaches and tofu bought by Shen Moer and her friends. This meal was very well prepared. In the end, a whole table of dishes was cooked. In addition, Shen Moer gave everyone a small half of the buns she bought from Qiaojie. This meal was really delicious and everyone was very satisfied.
Just when everyone was eating and stuffing their stomachs, they heard a loud bang outside the door, like the sound of something being hit hard on the ground, and then they heard a sharp woman's voice: "Shen Moer, you little girl, you shameless little whore, come out here--" Shen
Shaoyuan, who was still laughing and chatting with Chen Zhuangzhuang a second ago, suddenly turned cold, scaring Chen Zhuangzhuang who was sitting next to him. When he heard the sound outside clearly, he stood up quickly: "Let's go and take a look together."
