Chapter 15: Scrapyard
Mother Song saw that her daughter-in-law had gone back to her parents' home for half a month and had not returned yet.
Some people can't sit still anymore.
I was busy before and didn't have time to take care of this.
Now that Ruo hasn't come back for such a long time, the villagers don't know what they are saying about her behind her back.
So she sent the eldest daughter-in-law to visit the Liu family and ask the old man to come back.
I didn't expect that I would come back empty-handed, as the person was not at home at all.
"Mom, you have to take care of your sister-in-law. She won't stay still even when her husband is not at home. It's not a good thing for her to go out every few days..."
After Tian Cuixiang had exaggerated her complaint, she saw that Song's mother looked unhappy and said quickly, "Mom, I'm going to go see the child."
"Mind your mouth, what time is it? You just say whatever you want. Are you out of your mind?"
Song's mother's mind was in turmoil. What did her eldest daughter-in-law mean by this? It was just saying that the old man was not serious.
How can you say such things casually? Why are you putting the blame on your own family?
My grandparents' family was really implicated, how could their family not be implicated as well?
In those days, people were so crazy about sports, it was scary.
Even their poor and remote village of Taoshan had seen him being criticized several times.
In other words, the village chief is strict and does not allow the young men in the village to interfere, so life can be considered stable.
But then again, my old man is not a decent person. He always goes out and becomes a target of gossip.
——————————
At this time, Liu Qingqing stepped into the door of the scrap station again.
The autumn harvest is over and the private plots have been cleaned up.
The young and old in the village all started running to the city - to exchange the eggs they had saved at home and buy some soy sauce, salt and other things.
So this ox cart was extremely crowded.
On her arm was a basket covered with a cloth, ready for carrying.
All the aunties and sisters around me are dressed like this.
Someone who was naughty lifted the cloth of Liu Qingqing's curtain and looked inside. She curled her lips when she saw a dozen small eggs. The chickens she raised were not very good. They were not even as big as the ones in her family. The supply and marketing cooperative must have given her less than four cents for them.
Liu Qingqing had made preparations long ago, and the few eggs in the basket were just for show.
Some old ladies with ulterior motives stared at Liu Qingqing and asked her all sorts of questions, trying to dig out some gossip that others didn't know.
"Aunt Guo, please stop shouting 'Qingcao Qingcao'. Everyone, pay attention. I have changed my name to 'Liu Qingqing'. Don't make the mistake next time." She pretended not to hear the other party's questions and directly let everyone in the car know that she had changed her name.
"Hey, why did this guy change his name?"
Liu Qingqing changed her words. These old people couldn't say anything. "Listen, our Jinglin wrote to me and said this is better. It's the same way when naming girls in the city. The last two characters are also said to be repeated. Think about it and see if it sounds right."
When someone heard this, they nodded repeatedly: "You know what, it sounds different."
"Is it really like this in the city? How come I didn't know that?"
"You know a few people in the city. Besides, the place where the Song family's elders and younger children live is different from where we are."
"That's true. The city has supplies every month, which is much better than us."
…
The topic gradually deviated to more people in the city, and I successfully got myself out of it.
Liu Qingqing bent her eyes and listened with her ears.
Standing in front of the gate of the scrap station, she reached under the cloth, put the eggs inside into the space, and changed into the clothes she had prepared earlier.
I turned over in my mind what I wanted to say.
Then he knocked on the door of the duty room.
