Now that the captain has let go of the house division, Liu Zhi thinks it's time to come out to Yang Lan. During the meal, Liu Zhi deliberately talked about Yuan Chengxu's partner, "How is the relationship with your wife? Has she fallen in love with you?"
Yuan Chengxu looked wary, fearing that Liu Zhi would talk nonsense to the girl and ruin his good life.
"What are you doing? It's none of your business!" Yuan Chengxu whispered back.
Liu Zhi glanced at Yang Lan and said, "Mom, I've been thinking about Yuan Chengxu's marriage these days. If the new wife comes in, why don't we squeeze into the lobby with him again?"
Yang Lan also wanted to discuss this matter with Liu Zhi, and when she saw her taking the initiative to speak, she was very happy, "That's right, I've been worried about this for several days. It's just because our house is too small."
Yuan Meilian nodded. Because she was too young, she could only sleep in the same room as her mother. However, her mother was a very shallow sleeper. She would wake her up as long as she turned over, and then she would be scolded.
She suggested with some excitement, "How about we build a few more rooms in the back? Give one to my brother and another to me."
Yang Lan looked at her coldly, with an unhappy look on her face, "Give you a room? You're a money-loser, it's pretty nice to get it! There's no matchmaker for such a big family, so I might have to stay at home for several years. I It’s not bad even if you don’t have to pay for food, but I still want to live in a new house, bah!”
Yuan Meilian shriveled up like a plant at noon in midsummer. Her mother was really outrageous. She obviously worked hard every day, but her mother said that she seemed to be eating and drinking for free every day! Is it her fault that no one came to ask for a kiss? Her mother's reputation for being stingy and difficult to negotiate with has spread throughout the brigade. No one in the neighborhood wants to mess with such a mother-in-law, so why did it become her problem in the end!
Liu Zhi followed Yuan Meilian's words and said, "Meilian is right. There are more and more people in the family, so we have to free up a few more rooms."
Yang Lan said to Liu Zhi angrily, "Liu Zhi, you also know the situation of our family. This is what I think. My room is still free. How about you move the bed over and we can sleep in the same room?" ”
Before Liu Zhi could say anything, Yuan Meilian preempted her, "There is no space in our room. It's so crowded when I go to get some clothes from the closet. If there's another bed, I don't even have to walk!"
Yang Lan put her chopsticks on the table with a sullen expression, "You girl, why do you talk so much? You don't have the right to talk in this family! If you think it's crowded, just sleep in the lobby by yourself!"
Yuan Meilian lowered her head and said nothing, feeling so aggrieved that she burst into tears.
Liu Zhi also disagreed, "Mom, that's Cheng Feng's house. If you can't tolerate me, then let's split up."
Yang Lan: Why did you come back again?
"Oh, look at your temper. I just said it casually. If you don't agree, just agree. Don't mention the separation!" Yang Lan's smile was fake, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were so deep that they could pinch small insects.
"Otherwise," Yang Lan said tentatively, "We have a house for the brigade to raise cattle. It is lying idle now. You are familiar with the captain and the others. Otherwise, go and talk to them and return that house to us. .”
Liu Zhi's smile was very official, "How can I have this power unless that house is for me to live in."
"Ah?" Yang Lan was stunned and subconsciously disagreed. Although the house belonged to her, it was still some distance away from where she lived now. She was a widow living alone, so something bad would inevitably happen. "No. No, how can you live there?”
Liu Zhi squinted at her, "If you let me move here, I will bear the repair costs of the house, and I will take care of the food problem myself. In addition, I will give you 3 yuan a month."
A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. What Liu Zhi is short of now is money. As long as she entered the county town and bought everything, she only spent more than one hundred yuan. Just the twenty thousand yuan The cash will allow her to spend this period of time comfortably, and she can just use the money to make money again in the 1980s.
Therefore, facing Yang Lan, who could be bribed with money, Liu Zhi was too lazy to make excuses with her. Anyway, three yuan was just a small sum of money to her, so she regarded it as spending money to eliminate disasters.
After hearing Liu Zhi's words, Yang Lan began to adjust her calculations in her heart. This time, there was a difference of several hundred dollars! And as Liu Zhi said, if she moves away, she can save food for two people and still have income to earn, which seems to be a very suitable deal.
Liu Zhi continued to add fuel to the fire, "Besides, you only have such a son now, so there is no reason to live separately from your son."
Yang Lan was completely convinced. She would rather live with her son than the annoying but rich eldest daughter-in-law.
"Okay, then you can live there, but make sure you agree in advance that I don't have a penny here. If you don't have enough money to repair it, don't borrow it from me!" Yang Lan declared.
Liu Zhi readily agreed, "Okay, I'll talk to the captain about it tomorrow."
The next morning, after breakfast, Liu Zhi braided Yuan Shanmei's hair. After this period of practice, her braiding skills had improved significantly. The two braids drew an arc in the air, which was particularly harmonious. The only rubber bands used to tie her braids were the original yellow rubber bands, which often pulled her scalp when she was undressing her hair. Liu Zhi thought she would have a chance to visit the county and buy some good-looking rubber bands.
"Are you going to the captain's house with me or going out to play with your friends?" Liu Zhi asked Yuan Shanmei for her opinion.
The little girl looked confused and finally said, "I want to go out and play."
Liu Zhi touched her head and said, "Okay, you must come back at noon. You are not allowed to go to the river or other dangerous places. Do you hear me?"
Yuan Shanmei nodded obediently, "I know, Aunt Liu Zhi!"
After sending Yuan Shanmei to the open space of the brigade, Liu Zhi walked towards the captain's house. The captain lived at the entrance of the village and needed to walk further in the direction of the educated youth point.
Looking at Liu Zhi's graceful back, Zhao Lili envied Yuan Shanmei even more, "Aunt Liu Zhi is so kind to you. She will bring it to you when you come out to play."
Yuan Shanmei raised her head very proudly, "Yes, Aunt Liu Zhi is very, very good to me! As good as my own mother!" Zhao Lili sighed, "Last time Yuan Jinxiu said that he would let you go home. If it were your grandma, they would definitely What should I do if I want you to go home?”
Yuan Shanmei was originally worried about this problem, but Aunt Liu Zhi had promised herself that she would always be by her side. For such a powerful person as Aunt Liu Zhi, there must be a way!
"Aunt Liu Zhi will help me!"
Zhao Lili showed a trace of prayer, "Yuan Shanmei, can you ask Aunt Liu Zhi to accept me? You know, I am very diligent. I can now wash clothes, cook, feed pigs, go to the fields, and take care of children. I can do all of them." ! I just need to eat a little and go to bed early at night! ”
Yuan Shanmei felt a little shaken in her heart. Zhao Lili was her good friend. She also knew that Zhao Lili lived a miserable life. Her stepmother often beat and scolded her at every turn. She made her go to the mountains early in the morning to collect firewood in the winter and did not give her food. , Zhao Lili is one year older than her, but even thinner than her. If it weren't for the lack of work recently, Zhao Lili would not be able to come out to play.
"Well, let me tell you for you!" Yuan Shanmei said.
Zhao Lili was very happy, holding Yuan Shanmei's hand and jumping up, "Thank you!"
Jin Yonghui, who was waiting aside, picked his ears impatiently, "Are you okay? If you don't go up the mountain, you should go home for lunch!"
Xiaopang also said, "Girls are just grinding!"
Yuan Shanmei was so angry that she pinched him.
Led by Jin Yonghui, a group of four people went all the way up the mountain. This season, many wild fruits are ripe, such as loquats and mulberries. Just thinking about it makes people salivate.
Jin Yonghui took the lead and looked at the friends behind him to encourage them, "Last year I saw a cherry tree on the mountain, maybe it's nearby. If you write quickly, you can eat cherries earlier!"
The few people who originally felt very tired suddenly gained motivation, and one after another grabbed the weeds on the roadside and climbed up.
"By the way, Jin Yonghui, did your mother scold you last time you went home?" Xiaopang asked curiously.
Jin Yonghui glanced at Yuan Shanmei and said nothing.
In the last incident, his mother knew that she was scolded because she was trying to stand up for Yuan Shanmei. She said she was scolding him, but in fact, she was scolding Liu Zhi and Yuan Shanmei.
It is said that a big vixen brings a little vixen, and his ability to confuse people is getting stronger and stronger. If he is called a fool, others will look at him with a sad look, and he will help others count their money after being sold. In short, Luo Li I kept chattering for almost half an hour.
Jin Yonghui didn't think so. He felt that Yuan Shanmei was very kind, but also too easy to bully, so he couldn't help but have the urge to protect her. As for that woman Liu Zhi, she is just a bit talkative, and she is not a vixen like others say.
Of course, you can't say these words to Yuan Shanmei. If she knows, she will probably cry.
Xiaopang was impatient, "Why are you so mysterious? Did your mother scold you?"
Jin Yonghui said vaguely, "No, no!"
Xiaopang wondered, "What? Your mother, a tigress, still has time to stop cursing? The sun is really coming out in the west!"
Jin Yonghui glared at him, "Who are you calling a tigress? Believe it or not, I will pull the fat off your face!"
Xiaopang only felt a little pain in his face, pouted and stopped talking, but he was still muttering in his heart, Jin Yonghui is a famous shrew in the brigade, she is brutal and unreasonable, everyone knows this, why not? Let him say it! How stingy!
Yuan Shanmei and Zhao Lili looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
One thing to say, Aunt Wang is really scary, even scarier than the blind bear that adults say can eat people!
After walking some distance up the mountain, I couldn't find the cherry tree and saw a loquat tree. Because this place is halfway up the mountain, there are many villagers coming and going, and the fruits are almost picked before they are fully ripe.
Jin Yonghui climbed to the highest point like a monkey, tried his best to reach out, and finally pulled a bunch off the tree.
"Here, you try it first." Jin Yonghui handed one to Yuan Shanmei.
Xiaopang couldn't wait, "I want to eat too, give me one quickly!"
Jin Yonghui gave Xiaopang and Zhao Lili another one each.
Yuan Shanmei peeled the skin and stuffed the loquat pulp into her mouth. The unripe loquat was sour with a hint of sweetness and very fresh. It was a very good snack for children of this era.
"It's delicious!" Yuan Shanmei narrowed her eyes in pain.
There were five in total in the bunch Jin Yonghui picked, and he naturally gave the remaining one to Yuan Shanmei, "Here, I'll give you the last one."
