Chapter 86 Important Things (Two Chapters in One)
Lin Shu discovered that Lin Xiaojun had a good memory and wanted to find his textbook to test him. Just when Lin Xiaojun was looking for his schoolbag, another person came to the door. Lin Shu heard the voice and heard that it was the eldest sister Lin Xue who came.
“Little sister, has your partner arrived?”
Lin Shu walked out and saw the eldest sister’s family had arrived. She had just said hello to her brother-in-law Deng Cai when she heard Sister's question.
"He came back yesterday afternoon. Sister, why did you just come here today?"
"There are a lot of things at home. We finished our work yesterday and we were on our way at dawn this morning."
Lin Xue said, taking out the things she brought over. One of the bags was for boxing gifts, and the other was for gifts. She opened the snakeskin bag and let Lin Shu see it. Look, "Little sister, this is the Smilax cocos that your brother-in-law and I dug yesterday. See if it is enough this year. If you can, I want you to help us exchange some money."
Needless to say, yesterday The two of them didn't come over, but went to dig Smilax cocos.
Lin Shu looked through it: "Were these dug yesterday?"
"Yes, I just thought that you have a market, so we will bring some over here to exchange for some money. To pay for household expenses." Lin Xue was still a little worried, afraid of causing trouble to Lin Shu.
"Okay, the quality of Smilax Poria is good. Brother-in-law, please come over and weigh it. I will give you the money."
Liu Xiao'e turned around first and took out a scale from her bedroom and asked Deng Cai Weigh it.
Deng Cai: "It's 28 pounds and 4 taels. Even if it's 28 pounds, these smilax is a hard work for me. The production team from Xiaohe is more than 20 miles away from the countryside. How about I help carry it to the countryside tomorrow?"< br>
Liu Xiaoe watched it Looking at the little girl, he smiled and said: "You don't need to, the youngest has a bicycle."
Lin Shu nodded: "Brother-in-law, it's not hard work. I happen to be going to the county town tomorrow, so it won't be troublesome to help you take it with me." .”
He signaled Deng Cai to pour the Smilax cocos into the corner of the hall and let it dry on the ground.
Lin Xue didn't see anyone else at home, so she asked casually. When she learned that they were all busy, she asked Lin Shu: "How does your partner treat you? Is he good?"
"It's okay."
"Just be nice to you. You are a good-looking person. The only drawback is probably that you don't have a job. In the past, it was not a big problem for him to be raised by himself at home. Now that he is in a relationship with you and will start a family and raise children in the future, haven't you ever persuaded him to find a job? "
Lin Shu is funny? He asked rhetorically: "He was a street kid before he met me. Do you think he can become a model worker after meeting me?"
"Let's not talk about becoming a model worker. At least he can support himself and you, right?" Lin Xue felt that Lin Shu didn't know how to get along with a husband, and a man had to be restrained before he started a family. Otherwise, after getting married, I won’t be able to obey your control.
If a woman doesn’t care about the home, can the home be run well?
Lin Shu thought of the more than two thousand yuan in Gu Jiu's passbook and chuckled: "Street liars also have their share of people, like Gu Jiu. Even if he does nothing all day long, he still has capital and doesn't need it at all. Worried about not having enough to eat.”
Lin Xue didn’t believe it at all. He said with a bit of hatred: "You don't know that no matter how rich his family is, he can't stand it."
In order to protect his ears from her poison, Lin Shu responded obediently: "Okay. , when I get married to him, I will urge him to make progress.”
Lin Xue thought she had taken her words to heart, and breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she said a little unwillingly: "You said you only knew him for a short time, and you got engaged so soon. What if he is not a good person?" What should I do? Are you going to break off the engagement again? Let me tell you, you can talk to him first and choose the better one if you find him."
The only thing that dissatisfied Lin Xue is Gu Jiu. There are just no jobs.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Shu instinctively looked at the door first and was relieved when he found that no one came in.
However, she did not agree with what the eldest sister said: "Sister, I just pretended not to hear what I said just now, and don't say it again in the future. I can't do such a thing as riding a donkey and finding a horse to seamlessly connect. Besides, It seems that you and your eldest brother-in-law decided to get married just after seeing each other once, right?"
Lin Xue: "."
Lin Shu sighed, knowing that the eldest sister probably didn't know that they had received the certificate.
She took out a wad of money from her pocket and counted fourteen yuan: "Smilax is fifty cents per catty. If you count it as twenty-eight catties, then it is fourteen yuan. You count."
At this time, Gu Jiu, who was catching loaches in the ditch, did not know that someone was advising his wife to use him as a spare tire.
"Uncle, there are two educated youths who have been staring at you." Lin Dongfa reminded.
Gu Jiu threw a loach into the bucket, straightened up and looked in the direction Lin Dongfa was pointing. Two female educated youths were standing on the field ridge not far away.
But the two female educated youths were staring at the person, and when they were discovered by the person involved, they were too embarrassed to continue watching.
The two turned and left.
"Are they educated youths from your village?"
Lin Dongfa narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the two educated youths walking away: "Well, one of them found a male educated youth and got married. The other one is here We have been in our village for five or six years, and so far we have no idea of finding a partner. I think she has high standards and looks down on the young men in our village. But she has looked at you again and again, little uncle, she won't be attracted to you, right? ”
“Ahem!”
Gu Jiu almost choked to death on his own saliva, "Ancestor, don't talk nonsense!"
An educated youth who has been in the countryside for five or six years must be quite old. If he really likes him, he is not an old cow. I want to nibble on this young grass.
Ah~ Bah!
Wrong, this young grass of his already has an owner.
"Then why does she keep staring at you?"
"Perhaps they find it strange that I, a young man from the city, likes to come to the countryside to dig for loaches." Why did Gu Jiu feel guilty inexplicably?
The two female educated youths who walked away were none other than Qi Xiaoyun and Wei Miao.
They are also discussing Gu Jiu at the moment.
"Sister Qi, I didn't expect that the person Lin Shu was looking for was pretty good-looking."
"Yes, she is pretty good-looking." Qi Xiaoyun was in a complicated mood now. She said she was envious, but she was definitely jealous. There are also.
It has been five or six years since I went to the countryside and joined the Xiaohe production team. And how many five or six years can a woman's flowering period last?
At her age, even if she returns to the city in the future, she will still have to be chosen by others if she wants to find a partner. But Lin Shusheng could find a girl in the city in the countryside, let alone a girl with an educated youth. She believed that there were many girls in the village who were jealous of Lin Shu.
"I heard they are from the provincial capital. Since they are from the provincial capital, why would they come to our poor and remote place to find a partner, and also look for that rural girl Lin Shu?" Wei Miao felt jealous.
Rural girl?
Ha!
Qi Xiaoyun glanced at the chloasma on Wei Miao's face and sneered in her heart. She had to admit that Lin Shu looked more like a city dweller than the other educated youths in appearance.
"I don't know anything about the two of them."
"I think her partner is blind. You are better than her when it comes to Sister Qi. Find a rural household registration now, and in the future After getting married and having a child, the child will be registered in the household registration It’s all a big problem. There are so many educated youths in the countryside. At least find an educated youth to adjust the household registration relationship, and then the problem of children’s household registration will be solved.”
The two of them walked to the educated youth spot. While listening to Wei Miao's output. Qi Xiaoyun, an older woman, does not want to continue this topic now.
"It has been more than a month or almost two months since Zhu Educated Youth returned to the city. Has he written a letter or sent a telegram back?"
The topic was successfully changed. As soon as Wei Miao mentioned Zhu Zhengliang, he couldn't help but feel worried, "I haven't received it yet. Maybe he wrote a letter but it hasn't been delivered yet."
Qi Xiaoyun glanced at the educated youth He clicked on the green hills behind him, took a deep breath, and expressed his worries: "You and Zhu The educated youth probably didn't register it at the beginning. He had a de facto marriage but didn't register it. When he returned to the city, there was no news. Aren't you afraid that he would never come back and leave you alone in the countryside? "
If you are nagging about other people's business here, why not pay more attention to your own affairs.
She was living a miserable life, who gave her the courage to worry about other people's affairs.
Wei Miao stopped and looked at her in shock: "How do you know we didn't register?" Qi Xiaoyun's lips curved into a sneer, but she quickly covered it up: "Neither of you did anything during that time. How to register after leaving the village? ”
Any normal person can think of it.
Few people in rural areas register, so no one pays attention to these small details.
"People of the older generation have been here like this, not all their lives. If Zhu Zhengliang wants to abandon me, I will come to him. If he refuses to admit it, I will go to the Women's Federation to make the decision for me. "Wei Miao said hard, but she was actually panicking.
Qi Xiaoyun shook her head. Those who were married were afraid of being abandoned, and she, who was unmarried, was afraid of getting older. After returning to the city, she could only look for the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates.
There are few pleasant things in this world.
In fact, in the eyes of parents, the festival means that their children gather together around a table of steaming meals, eat happily, and enjoy family happiness, which is happiness.
In the afternoon, Lin Xue took his family back.
On the next day, Lin Wei and Lin Guang were going to report back to their work units, and Lin Shu and Gu Jiu also planned to return to the county seat.
It happened to be on the way, and on the way back, Gu Jiu rode with Lin Shu, Lin Wei rode Lin Shu's white pigeon bicycle, and Lin Guang rode Lin Shu's women's bicycle.
Women's bicycles are not as practical as large bars in the countryside, so I decided to just ride them back to the county town. In the county town, women’s bicycles can still be ridden.
After the four of them entered the city, they met at Gu's house for dinner and then parted ways.
Lin Wei and Lin Guang arrived at the power supply station, signed in first, and then prepared to return to the rental house to put their luggage.
But before their bicycles were pushed out of the power supply station, they were spotted by Xu Ming, who had just come down from the office building.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, are you back?"
"Hey, I just finished signing in and am going back to the rental house to put my luggage."
Xu Ming noticed the bicycles they were pushing and asked with a smile: "Did you buy a bicycle? How did Brother Lin ride it? Is it a women’s bicycle? Hey, why does this bicycle look familiar?”
Lin Guang was a little uncomfortable riding a women’s bicycle, so he couldn’t help but blush a little and hesitated: “ This, this is the bicycle my little sister got engaged to. "
"Oh, I remember, Tang Jianjun and I sent this bicycle to your house." Xu Ming patted his own. He raised his forehead and asked again: "You guys are back after the festival. That guy Gu Jiu should be back too, right?"
Lin Wei didn't think much and nodded honestly: "He's back."
"That's good, you guys get busy first, I'll go find that guy who forgot about his friends." Xu Ming didn't care to talk anymore and walked quickly towards the bicycle shed.
Gu Jiu was cleaning at home. He heard a knock on the door and opened the door to see Xu Ming standing outside. He frowned slightly: "Why are you here?"
Xu Ming was angry. Le: "Hey, Gu Jiu, are you trying to burn bridges by crossing the river? I just helped you get engaged and don't you recognize your brother?"
"Who disowns you? Come in." Gu Jiu turned away, annoyed. This guy has no eyesight.
Xu Ming pushed his bicycle in and found Lin Shu sitting at the door of the bathroom, rubbing his clothes. He blinked at Gu Jiu with a clear face, "It turns out that my younger siblings are here too."
"Brother Xu is here, come in and sit down." Lin Shu shook off the water drops on his hands and prepared to get up to help them make tea.
"I came to see you yesterday. You were not at home. Did you go back to the village to celebrate the festival?"
"Yes, Gu Jiu went back to the village with me." Lin Shu poured the tea into the teapot Put some tea leaves, then pick up the thermos bottle and pour out the boiling water that was just poured in to make tea.
Fortunately, she is used to drinking warm water, so she boiled a pot of boiling water as soon as she came back.
"That's good, Gu Jiu now has a mother-in-law to respect."
"Brother Xu didn't go to his future in-law's house to celebrate the festival?"
"Hey, I was more proactive than Gu Jiu. I asked someone to send the festival gifts before the festival." Xu Ming remembered the purpose of coming here and said hurriedly: "You guys are rushing today It’s been a hard day’s journey, Stop cooking tonight, let’s go to a state-owned restaurant to eat together.”
Gu Jiulue raised his eyebrows: “Are you treating me?”
I care about their hard work, and I want to treat them to dinner. Gu Jiu concluded that nothing bad happened.
Xu Ming nodded: "Yes, I'm treating you."
Gu Jiu: "Speak directly, what's the matter?"
Xu Ming hesitated, "Xu Ting's birthday is today, and I want to treat everyone to a dinner tonight, just to celebrate."
Gu Jiu turned to look at Lin Shu.
Lin Shu knew that Gu Jiu was asking for her opinion. In fact, Xu Ming had been helping a lot, and she should give Xu Ming face to celebrate Xu Ting's birthday.
Just
"Brother Xu, if you ask Gu Jiu to go tonight, I won't go. I happen to have something to do tonight."
Gu Jiu is married now, and it's too late to avoid Xu Ting. I heard Lin Shu say if something happened Go, he also refused and said: "We have guests at home tonight. We agreed that the eldest brother and the second brother will come over for dinner. I I have to accompany you."
Xu Ming was anxious when he heard this, "It's too troublesome to cook at home. Since we have made an appointment, let Brother Lin and Brother Lin go together. There are so many people."
Lin Shu shook his head. It was Xu Ting’s birthday. What was going on when she dragged her whole family to a banquet?
Besides, the eldest brother and the second brother are not familiar with Xu Ting.
Besides, she really had something important to do tonight.
"This" Xu Ming was in a dilemma and looked at Gu Jiu with pleading eyes, "Lin Shu has something to do and I can't go. You can go. Xu Ting is also the sister who grew up with us, and we will live together." Go celebrate your birthday.”
< br>"Brother, this is really unlucky. We have already agreed in the morning to invite the eldest and second brothers to come over for dinner. I can't treat you. My master is not at home, right?"
Xu Ming failed to invite and was dejected. left.
When Xu Ming left, Gu Jiu asked curiously: "What important thing do you have tonight?"
Lin Shu blinked and asked, "Isn't it important to entertain your uncle?"
"Forget it!" Gu Jiu gritted his teeth.
Hmph, if she doesn’t tell him, then he will follow her every step of the way tonight. In the end, he will always know.
However, reality soon hit him in the face.
Sent Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin off in the evening, Lin Shu raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said to Gu Jiu who was washing the dishes, "I'm going out for a while."
"Wait, I'll go with you." Gu Jiu trotted out without even having time to dry his hands.
Lin Shu did not refuse his following. It was indeed unsafe for girls to go out at night. Having a man following him was an added layer of security.
"We don't ride bicycles?"
"It's dark at night and the roads are slippery. I think it's safer to walk." Lin Shu lifted his feet and walked out.
