passionate youth

Chapter 18

A good night's sleep.

Jiang Ping'an was woken up by hunger. When he woke up, he saw Heizi shaking his head and whining under the bed, so he must be hungry too.

People have three urgencies, after getting dressed, they took sunspot out of the space.

The cold wind was biting, the sky and the earth were white and gloomy, I didn't have a watch, I didn't know how long I slept, it was about afternoon.

"Squeaky..."

I was squatting in the toilet when someone stepped on the snow outside.

"Ping An, so you are at home! Do you know where your sister-in-law has gone?"

When Luo Manzi came back from outside, he saw that Miao Hexiang was not at home, and heard that Jiang Ping'an was moving, so he came to ask.

Seeing Heizi playing with snow at the door of the toilet, he guessed that Jiang Ping'an was going to the toilet, so he stopped.

"Going back to my mother's house, didn't sister-in-law Miao tell you before she left?" Jiang Ping'an replied loudly from inside.

Luo Manzi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This dead woman, even if she wants to go back to her mother's house, she has to make food before leaving!"

"I'm getting more and more ignorant, how can there be such an annoying woman in the world? She's an asshole!"

After Jiang Ping'an went to the toilet, he came out wearing his trouser belt, frowning and said, "Widow Lu didn't let you eat?"

"Nonsense, what's the matter with Widow Guan Lu?" Luo Manzi blushed and said nervously.

Although he was open-minded in front of Miao Hexiang, he also knew that it would be shameful to go to see Widow Lu secretly.

Now someone in the village has spread the news about him and Widow Lu, and he is secretly proud of it, but at the same time, he must be careful every time he passes by.

Jiang Pingan sneered, stepped forward and raised his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice:
"Tell me the truth, did you succeed at Widow Lu's place?"

"I said that I have nothing to do with Widow Lu, it's someone else's nonsense." Luo Manzi still insisted.

Jiang Ping'an curled his lips and said, "We are neighbors, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

"Yes, I can tell you, but you can't talk nonsense." Luo Manzi pondered for a moment and said.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Don't worry about that, no one in the entire Shangshui Village doesn't know that I'm tight-lipped."

Luo Manzi believed this, so he was not afraid of Jiang Ping'an knowing many things. He hesitated for a while, and said a little embarrassedly:

"I haven't started yet. Widow Lu, that dead woman, is a master who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't cast an eagle."

"She means that she can be with me, but I must divorce Miao Hexiang first, and then she will marry me with her three daughters."

"The problem is that Miao Hexiang seems to be weak-tempered, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside."

"Plus, her natal family is not easy to mess with, so I have never dared to mention this to her."

Jiang Ping'an suddenly said, "No wonder you always blame Sister-in-law Miao in every possible way, just to let her take the initiative to ask you for a divorce?"

"It means that if Miao Hexiang doesn't have children, I can't be extinct, right?" Luo Manzi nodded and replied.

"Widow Lu will give birth at first glance. Although she gave birth to three daughters before, it must be because her dead man is useless."

"If I marry her, she will definitely give me some big fat boys."

"The fortune teller also told me that I have been married twice, and I am destined to have three sons. This is definitely true!"

Jiang Ping'an frowned and said, "Which fortune-teller do you listen to? You have made Sister-in-law Miao miserable all these years!"

"Every time you bully sister-in-law Miao, I feel distressed when I see it. Sister-in-law Miao is such a good woman, and you are the only one who doesn't know how to cherish it."

Luo Manzi pursed his lips, and said disapprovingly: "There are plenty of women in the world, and children are the ones who are close, you don't understand."

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? We haven't got lunch yet! Miao Hexiang is a damned woman!"

Jiang Pingan said angrily: "You don't even bother to cook it yourself? You deserve to starve to death! I never saw you so lazy!"

"Hey, didn't you hear what the old man said? I'm a lazy person with good luck." Luo Manzi laughed.

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, do you know that Ernier of Liu Laoshi's family is getting married."

"This morning, the man invited a matchmaker to propose marriage. Good guy, he gave Liu Laoshi's family three liters of stick noodles!"

Jiang Pingan shook his head and said, "I was on vigil at the pig farm last night. I came back early this morning to catch up on sleep. I just woke up not long ago. How would I know about this?"

"But three liters of stick noodles is too little, isn't it? Not only is Er Nier a good-looking person, but she has also studied for three years, so she can read!"

Luo Manzi took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Jiang Ping'an, and said with a smile:
"Three liters of stick noodles is quite a lot these days."

"Yesterday, I went to the commune with Miao Hexiang. I heard that there is a girl in the next village who looks good, but the family can't support her."

"Then he was taken away by a city resident. Not to mention the dowry was confiscated, but two hens that laid eggs were posted upside down."

"It seems that the woman has suffered a loss, but after hearing about it, who doesn't envy people from all over the world?"

"I wish my daughter could marry into the city, and I'd rather be willing."

Jiang Pingan took out a match and lit it, blocking the wind, and asked Luo Manzi to light the cigarette, then lit the cigarette himself, and said:
"If a girl can marry in the city, there will naturally be various advantages. The question is, isn't Ernier marrying in the city?"

"Who doesn't lack food and clothing in the countryside now? After getting married and going to her husband's house, is it different to suffer from cold and hunger?"

"By the way, are you going to Erni's house to join in the fun? Where is the man from? How are the conditions?"

Luo Manzi nodded and said: "I went to join in the fun, the man seems to be from the Red Star Commune."

"The conditions of the family, I won't tell you, you can guess, who's life is better these days?"

"But I still have to say, three liters of stick noodles is a lot."

"If Widow Lu agrees to marry me, I will give her at most three liters of stick noodles."

Jiang Pingan laughed and said, "Can you get three liters of stick noodles for the work points you earned?"

"Don't take Sister-in-law Miao's food to marry Widow Lu. If you really want to do this, the folks will poke your back!"

Luo Manzi really had this idea, but he said:

"No, even if I hate Miao Hexiang, I won't be so heartless."

"As for how to get three liters of stick noodles, Shanren has his own tricks! Hehe..."

While talking, Jiang Dahai came.

When Luo Manzi saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He told Jiang Ping'an and ran away.

"This Luo Manzi is outrageous. He didn't know how to greet me when he saw me." Jiang Dahai cursed.

He then told Jiang Pingan: "Ping An, I went to the brigade this morning and told Captain Chen about your desire to join the organization."

"He heard that you want to pursue progress, he welcomes you with his hands up, and is willing to be your introducer!"

Jiang Ping'an's face brightened, he handed Jiang Dahai a cigarette, and said gratefully, "Uncle Dahai, thank you so much!"

"I'm really sorry for making you busy in this snowy day for my business."

Jiang Dahai took the cigarette, waved his hand and said with a smile: "One family doesn't talk about two families, if you want to be successful, we will follow suit."

"It's snowing these few days, and there's no farm work to do. Take some time to find Captain Chen and settle this matter earlier."

Jiang Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow, this matter really can't be delayed."

Jiang Dahai smiled, and after a few more words of advice, he turned and left.

As for the fact that he helped Jiang Ping'an to promote his reputation, he didn't tell Jiang Ping'an.

I believe others will spread it to Jiang Ping'an's ears.
