Chapter 36 I didn’t take a fancy to it
Maybe it’s because the spring plowing is over, but today the Gushui Supply and Marketing Cooperative is packed with people.
Lin Shu finally squeezed in to buy the salt and soap he needed. When he came out, he was so crowded that he accidentally bumped into someone.
Hearing the other party's soft cry of pain, Lin Shu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it hurts. Huh!"
"Lin Shu!" Qi Xiaoyun did not expect that the person who bumped into her was Lin Shu. "Why did you come to the supply and marketing cooperative today? Why didn't I see you on the way here?"
"I came here with Aunt Niu and left early." Lin Shu explained, looked at the woman next to Qi Xiaoyun, smiled and said hello: "Li Zhiqing."
Li Zhiqing and Qi Xiaoyun They were from the Xiaohe Production Team in the same year, but Li Zhiqing couldn't bear the hardship of working in the fields, so he married a villager in the Xiaohe Production Team and gave birth to a boy who is now three years old and named Chaochao.
Later, all the educated youth returned to the city. Li Educated Qing abandoned her man and children and returned to the city. However, her man had a grudge against her and never concealed it in front of his children.
A three- or four-year-old child has grown up under the instillation of resentment from his father. Naturally, he hates his mother deeply in his heart, and his personality is also extreme and stubborn.
Lin Shu remembered that when Chaochao grew up, Li Zhiqing arranged for Chaochao to join a municipal small business out of consideration for his family ties, but Chaochao's hatred for his mother never diminished.
Maybe it was because of the psychological shadow of being abandoned since childhood. Chaochao remained unmarried all his life and lived a gloomy life. In the end, the gloom led to illness, and he died of cancer before he was forty years old.
Chaochao's life is lamentable. He is like a product of an era. His life and tragedy seem to be doomed from birth.
Li Zhiqing smiled at her: "Sister Lin Shu, you bought a lot of things."
"Just a few pieces of soap."
"We bought them too. Let’s go out together.”
The three of them walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative together, Qi Xiaoyun pulled Lin Shu, "Did you know, Zhu Zhengliang and Wei Miao live together."
"Ah? They went together?" Lin Shu pretended to be surprised.
In fact, Wei Miao was deceived both heart and body by Zhu Zhengliang in his previous life. After autumn, Zhu Zhengliang’s family would transfer him back to the city, but he never came back or contacted Wei Miao. .
"Yes, but I heard that they didn't apply for a certificate." Qi Xiaoyun truly admired Wei Miao's courage to live with a man without a certificate.
Lin Shu was surprised when he heard this. In fact, there are several couples in rural areas who have certificates, and they all become de facto couples by having a drink.
The popularization of marriage certificates came about after the introduction of ID cards in the 1980s, and many couples in rural areas applied for ID cards and reissued marriage certificates.
Lin Shu looked at Qi Xiaoyun's rough and dark skin and asked, "Does Qi Zhiqing have anyone he likes in our Xiaohe production team?"
Qi Xiaoyun seemed frightened after hearing this. He jumped and waved his hands quickly: "I have not and have no plans to get married in Xiaohe Village."
Lin Shu: "Since Qi The educated youth has persevered for so many years, so let’s continue to persevere.”
Qi Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed and explained: “I know, I don’t mean to look down on rural people, I just think that when looking for a man, you have to find something in common. It’s a topic, otherwise, how can we survive the long years if we talk to each other like chickens and ducks?”
Lin Shu didn't say anything. Everyone's choice of marriage partner was different, so she couldn't interfere with her thoughts.
Li Zhiqing said at this time: "I don't know what Wei Miao is thinking? If you marry Zhu Zhengliang, you can't help her with work, and you can't move out of the educated youth spot. You still eat from the educated youth spot. A big pot of rice is just a different place to sleep. What’s the use of finding such a man?”
It also increases the risk of pregnancy. It’s okay if this man has a conscience, but what if he is a heartless one? , that’s really not worth the loss.
She originally found a man in the village. At least after marrying this man, she was basically not asked to do farm work. At most, she took care of the children at home and took care of the housework.
Like Qi Xiaoyun said, she needs to find a man with whom she has a common topic. Although her man and she have no common topic, at least this man has good waist strength and can allow her to enjoy what a wife should enjoy. Welfare.
Lin Shu and Qi Xiaoyun looked at each other. They were right. What's the use of such a scumbag?
The three of them didn't wait long at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative when Aunt Niu and Lin Haiyan came over. A group of five people left the Wei together. On the way back, Lin Shu secretly asked Lin Haiyan: "How did it end? Are you satisfied with that man?"
Lin Haiyan had a look of disappointment in her eyes. , shook his head: "I'm not interested, it's just that my mother thinks his family is in good condition. If he gets married and has a few sisters to help him, life won't be too sad."
Lin Shu was relieved after hearing this. tone.
If it were her, she wouldn't like that man either.
"Lin Shu, what do you think of that man? Tell me what you think."
Lin Shu smiled and said, "Do you really want to hear my opinion?"
Lin Haiyan shook her arm, "Tell me, I want to listen."
"I think from the appearance, there is something wrong with that man."
Lin Haiyan was confused, "What do you mean?"
Lin Shu clicked his tongue: "The man said he was twenty years old. From what I saw, he looked like he was at least twenty-five or sixty-years-old. There are people who say he is twenty-eight, nine or thirty. I believe you are too anxious.”
Lin Haiyan covered her face after hearing this. They snickered, and in order to prevent the people in front of them from hearing their murmurs, they whispered: "Maybe others are really twenty?"
"That just means that his family's genes are not good, and the shelf life is too short!" Lin Shu knew that she was not attracted to her, and there was no psychological burden for her to be venomous.
“Haha.”
Lin Haiyan laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
"What are you laughing at? Saying it makes us happy." Qi Xiaoyun heard the laughter and turned around to ask.
Back to the production team.
Lin Shu said goodbye to Aunt Niu and others and returned home, only to find that Liu Xiaoe was the only one at home.
"How was it? How much did it cost?" As soon as Liu Xiao'e saw Lin Shu enter the house, she stepped forward to pick up her basket.
"41."
"Why are you prodigal again?"
The voices of mother and daughter sounded at the same time.
Liu Xiao'e looked at the dozens of eggs in the basket and almost passed away without feeling distressed.
We have several chickens at home, and we can pick out two or three eggs every day. Why is this wasteful thing willing to spend money to buy eggs outside.
Lin Shu originally wanted to pay 41 yuan, but after listening to Comrade Liu Xiao'e's words about prodigality, she decided to deduct the money for eggs, salt and soap from the 41 yuan. "Buying a few eggs is a waste, and your family is too big." I can't bear it and I'm defeated."
"You are spending money indiscriminately?" Liu Xiao'e was thinking about whether to go with him next time to prevent this ancestor from spending money like water.
"I don't care." Lin Shu took out the remaining money from his pocket and put it on the table, "Look at who in the village can compare with you. Others are still sticking their butts out and facing each other. You are working in the fields with your back turned, while you are at home counting money. Just by doing this, you are better than 99% of the female comrades who are the head of the village. How many people envy you? I can’t even envy you.”
Liu Xiao’e felt a little better after thinking about today’s income, “How long will it take for you to eat so many eggs?”
< br>"One person per day, fifty eggs can be made in just a few days, how can they stink?"
"One person per day, you have a beautiful idea!" Liu Xiao'e picked the eggs into the basket with rice husks, "I will take advantage of these two days to rest and go see your sister tomorrow."
