She knew that there was no hope of returning to the city, so she really planned to find a peasant to marry. Li Erniu was just one of them. The first person she had her eyes on was Lu Changqing.
She was very confident in herself. Even though she was sent down to the countryside, her parents were university professors before.
No matter what, Lu Changqing is still a country man, and it is his blessing for me to marry him.
Unfortunately, Lu Changqing turned a blind eye to her.
Now he actually accepted the worn-out shoes that others didn't want.
Tan Ran continued to question Gu Qingning calmly.
I learned from Li Huan that Gu Qingning was pushed into the river, but I didn't take it seriously. That troublemaker would never die.
However, she didn't believe that Lu Changqing looked down on her and liked that idiot Gu Qingning.
At the educated youth point, the person she feared most was Chen Jing, because Chen Jing was the most capable and had the greatest hope of returning to the city.
She cared least about Gu Qingning because he was too stupid.
Li Huan helped everyone pack up and took Tan Ran back to the village.
The Lu family of the Red Star Brigade.
When Wang Ermei came over, the Lu family was having dinner. Since they had not had a few days of free time, Mrs. Lu was kind enough to let Li Cuihua cut some meat, so it was still quite fishy.
The whole family was like starving ghosts, dancing with their chopsticks, afraid of eating less, not even caring about the grease stains on their mouths.
There was only Lu Weiguo's bowl, which no one dared to touch. There were several large pieces of meat in it, and the others kept swallowing their saliva when they saw it.
Lu Weiguo considered himself a city dweller and ate very politely. Old Mrs. Lu was very satisfied. Her son was different from the peasants working in the fields.
Li Cuihua and Zhang Juhua kept swallowing their saliva. Zhang Juhua was sharp-eyed. Seeing Wang Ermei, she quickly finished the food in her bowl and said loudly, "Wang Zhiqing, why are you here? We're having dinner at home. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't prepared anything for you."
Food is precious to everyone, let alone the Lu family.
Wang Ermei was not embarrassed at all. She looked at the food on the Lu family's table, which was glowing green. "Look at what you said, auntie, I can eat whatever I want."
Wang Ermei forgot what she wanted to say and only had eyes for eating.
The Lu family is really rich. Other families are not able to eat enough, but their family can still eat meat.
I suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't I stick to Lu Si? This way, I could eat with the Lu family and maybe even save some to send home.
When the people from the Lu family saw that she didn't understand, they almost licked their plates clean.
Old Lady Lu snorted coldly: "What do you want to do here to see me? We are short of food at home and cannot entertain you."
Old Mrs. Lu has nothing to be embarrassed about. She is the only one who eats other people's food, and no one else can take advantage of her.
Looking at the table completely devoured, Wang Ermei's eyes turned green. Remembering her purpose, she quickly said, "Oh, speaking of this, Auntie, I came to tell you that Gu Qingning went to the county town and brought back a lot of good things. The Gu family hasn't sent anything for a long time. Those must be from the Lu family. As an educated youth, how could she do such a thing to give to her mother's family? I can't stand it anymore and tell you this."
"What? That little bitch dared to use my Lu family's things to supplement her own family. She must be tired of living. My eldest wife and my second wife, follow me and take a look."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she could no longer sit still and stood up and rushed out.
"Oh my god, please slow down." Li Cuihua and Zhang Juhua hurried to catch up, fearing that someone would fall.
I was more worried, afraid that Gu Qingning would use the betrothal gift and the three hundred yuan would be gone. It hurt to think about it.
Wang Ermei watched this scene with a smile in her eyes, and planned to wait and see the show.
She just didn't believe that Gu Qingning would not be humiliated this time.
Gu Qingning was queuing at the supply and marketing cooperative at this time. In this day and age, there were crowds of people buying anything. Finally, it was her turn. There were simple things displayed on the shelves.
Thinking about Lu Changqing's cracked hands and worn-out shoes, he had enough money to buy himself some cold cream and didn't feel sorry for himself.
So I took out some money and bought him a pair of Liberation shoes and gloves, and also bought him two towels so that it would be more convenient to change them.
The colors of fabrics nowadays are rather monotonous, and the styles of ready-made clothes in the supply and marketing cooperatives are rather old. Gu Qingning plans to buy some fabrics and learn how to make them.
Seeing that Gu Qingning was well-dressed, the salesperson took out some new fabrics to promote, "Hey, girl, this color suits you very well. You have fair skin, so anything you wear will look good on you."
It was a roll of floral fabric. At that time, black, blue and gray were the main colors. This kind of fabric was not resistant to dirt and was only worn by respectable people.
Gu Qingning touched the fabric and it felt pretty good. This stuff from the 1970s was of really good quality.
Gu Qingning planned to buy it back and make herself a floral dress. It was spring now and she could wear it.
Gu Qingning took out the money and was about to take it away, but was grabbed by a pair of hands, "Gu Qingning, I want this fabric."
Gu Qingning turned her head and saw the person coming. Oh, it was Lu Weiguo’s little sister who was attending high school in the county town.
Next to her was a man wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses, and he was dressed very elegantly.
When Lu Xue saw Gu Qingning, her tone was not good and her attitude was contemptuous. "Your family doesn't care about you anymore, how can you still have money to buy things? You are a member of the Lu family after all. My family gave you a betrothal gift so that you can live a good life, not to ruin our family. Three hundred yuan for a betrothal gift, your family is really crazy because of poverty, selling your daughter."
Lu Xue already knew what was going on at home. When she learned that Gu Qingning had asked for three hundred yuan, she was furious.
This woman was trying to throw herself at his brother, but his brother didn't want her. Now she wants a 300 yuan betrothal gift. She is so shameless.
When the people around heard Lu Xue's words, their expressions changed as they looked at Gu Qingning.
This girl seems to be well-dressed, but I didn't expect she is such a spendthrift.
She's already started squandering money before she even gets married. Whoever marries her will be unlucky.
The man next to Lu Xue kept his eyes on Gu Qingning and extended his hand enthusiastically, "Hello, comrade. My name is Zhou Jianjun. I'm a worker at the textile factory and Xue'er's boyfriend."
Gu Qingning was no stranger to this kind of look, and even wanted to dig it out for him. This Lu Xue really couldn't find a good partner.
Gu Qingning simply ignored the hand and didn't give it any face at all, which made Lu Xue furious.
What's wrong with this little bitch? This is her boyfriend. How can she afford to offend him?
But seeing that Zhou Jianjun's eyes were always on Gu Qingning, she felt extremely jealous. This vixen was really seducing people wherever she went.
Lu Xue snatched the cloth and said, "Gu Qingning, you are my sister-in-law after all. I need this cloth to make a skirt. You won't refuse to give it to me, right? You are an educated youth and you know etiquette."
She had been looking at this fabric for a long time but had never been willing to buy it. Now she was about to graduate from high school and had to find a job, so she had to dress decently. If she dressed poorly, she wouldn't even be able to get into the factory.
Although Zhou Jianjun's family has some connections, their relationship is not completely settled yet, and Lu Xue is also very anxious.
Gu Qingning remembered that Lu Xue was very arrogant. Whenever she returned to the village, she would always say something to the original owner. She couldn't stand these rich people and always belittled them.
Gu Qingning did not tolerate this kind of bad habit of not knowing her place, and snatched the cloth away.
