good old days

You can't even see hares and pheasants on Guizi Mountain now, and there are a lot of wild grape trees in some ditches. Jiang Xinyu picked some ripe purple grapes to taste, and her face was sour that she wrinkled into a ball.

Picking and picking a big basket, enough for her to make several jars.But there are not enough jars at home, so I have to get two more.

It was already dark when I got home, and many people surrounded Jiang Xinyu's yard. Seeing her coming back, they inquired about her becoming a school teacher again.

Chen Yi saw this posture, found a reason and went home. The group of aunts and aunts gathered together and talked until tomorrow morning.

Jiang Xinyu washed the grapes and talked dryly with everyone, and finally did not forget to summarize the importance of going to school to them.

Chen Xiuyun was happy today, and specially steamed two eggs for Jiang Xinyu.

The mother and daughter drank cold vegetable porridge and had dinner with beef in sauce.

After choosing clean and washed grapes to dry overnight, Chen Yi sent three clean jars and a bagful of white sugar at noon the next day.

Jiang Xinyu used up all the white granulated sugar at home and the sugar brought by Chen Yi, but she still felt that it was not enough.Seeing her prodigal appearance, Chen Xiuyun naturally talked a lot.

After all the grapes were squeezed and all the wine jars were put away, most of the day passed.

Jiang Xinyu has a lot of things to do these days. She has only left school for a few days. She has to report to the school with the letter of introduction, and then pack up the daily necessities for the dormitory.

In addition to the student dormitory, there is a small house in the north of the classroom. There are a few trees there, and the weeds around it are quite lush. The dormitory of the school teachers is there.

Jiang Xinyu took Xie Xiaofang's class, so she lived in her former dormitory, where there was another female teacher in her 20s named Song Guifang.

Song Guifang's natal family belonged to the Miaoxi Brigade under the Hongqi Commune. She was married, but her husband's family was in the advancing brigade.

The dormitory space is not large, and there are only two beds. Song Guifang has an old wardrobe with her own things in it.

Chen Xiuyun put down the enamel basin, looked around the room and said, "Next time I'll bring you a cabinet as well."

Jiang Xinyu didn't object, the amount of her clothes was not enough to use the closet, and it was not a hindrance at all to put them on the bed, but she inevitably had some personal items to put away.

There were two old tables side by side in the middle of the dormitory. Jiang Xinyu put all the lesson plans Xie Xiaofang gave her on them, and also put her own books and a few stationery back.

After leaving school, Chen Xiuyun was going to the supply and marketing agency to buy some things. Walking on the street, Jiang Xinyu saw Yuan Chunhua with a disheveled face and sunken eyes, and Zhou Dazhuang with his head drooping and face ashen. They both had signs with insulting words written on them.

The battle in front of me was quite big, and people talked about it, cast aside and despised it.

Jiang Xinyu had always wanted to watch the excitement before, but at this moment, that kind of thought suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't express how she felt at this moment.

Comrade Chen Xiuyun took her to the supply and marketing cooperative quickly, and bought white cloth and thread ends that can be used for shoe soles.I wanted to buy white sugar at first, but the supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock.

When the mother and daughter returned home, they found that Jiang Yuzhu had returned.

Jiang Yuzhu brought back a lot of things this time, and she brought back most of the things Zhou Qi sent her.

A can of very attractive preserved fruit, snacks in an iron box, a pack of white rabbit toffee, jasmine tea wrapped in yellow paper, and some small snacks such as fruit peels.

Chen Xiuyun asked, "Where did they all come from?"

Jiang Yuzhu said uncomfortably, "It was sent to me by someone from the Capital Film Studio."

She confused Zhou Qi, and without waiting for Chen Xiuyun to say anything, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Mom, people have sent me a lot of things, and I want to send some back."

Chen Xiuyun nodded, "That's what it should be. However, the things sold in our supply and marketing cooperatives are probably not rare in the capital, so what to give is also a problem."

Jiang Xinyu pointed to the jujube tree in the courtyard, "The jujube is almost ripe, can I give it away?"

"I can send it after it's dried, otherwise I'll have to post it for many days on the road, and I'll be bored."

What to give as a gift in return is indeed a problem. This big bag is not cheap. Chen Xiuyun thought of the yams planted by the eldest daughter's commune brigade and the half bag of peanuts that Chen Yi fought against at night.

Jiang Yuzhu had already paid her salary, and gave Chen Xiuyun both the salary and the receipt.

Chen Xiuyun only took ten yuan, and let her keep the rest. The ten yuan was also saved, and when the girl got married, she would also keep it as private money for her.

In addition to what Zhou Qi sent, Jiang Yuzhu also brought back two pig's trotters and a stick bone with no meat.

Chen Xiuyun went to cook, and Jiang Yuzhu took out a purple two-finger-wide headband for Jiang Xinyu.

The two sisters were talking, and Jiang Yuzhu was very pleasantly surprised when she learned that the younger sister would go to the commune to substitute for junior high school.

"I used to be a substitute. I haven't rested for more than a month. I have saved up my holidays. This time I can stay at home for four days. Let's find time to visit Eldest Sister."

The day after tomorrow, Jiang Xinyu will officially start school, and if she wants to go to Jiang Zhenzhen, she can only go tomorrow.

Chen Xiuyun also heard what the two sisters said, and she simply agreed.

Both of her daughters have jobs now, and they are considered promising. Let them go to Jiang Zhenzhen's mother-in-law's house to remind Jiang Zhenzhen's mother-in-law to stop bullying others in the future.

The evening is the time when the members are most active, and many people carry their rice bowls to other people's houses to get together for dinner.

Jiang Xinyu's house is now a place where people in the village like to gather together. Everyone knows that Jiang Yuzhu is back, and everyone comes to inquire about her work and life in the city.

A group of people sniffed at the smell of stewed pig's trotters, envious in their hearts.

Look at people these days, the more prosperous they are, they can eat meat several times a month, unlike them, they can only catch frogs to satisfy their greed.But when they thought that Chen Xiuyun had no son and would be lonely in old age, these people's minds became more balanced.

A bunch of people talked about this and that, but Yuan Chunhua was no longer a human being among the crowd.

The old man Jiang was holding his rice bowl, sucking corn porridge and squatting cheekily in Jiang Xinyu's courtyard, while Jiang Xinyu was eating cooked corn sticks.

The brigade lacked everything else, except corn, and every family felt sick from eating stick noodles and steamed buns.

Jiang Xinyu felt that the taste of cooked fresh corn on the cob was different from that of steamed buns, and she was very excited to eat it.

Not only the corn on the cob is delicious, but the corn stalk is also delicious. Although it is not as rich as sugar cane juice, it also has a sweet taste. This stuff is also something for children in the village to satisfy their greed.

The stewed pig's trotters are bright red in color, soft and tasty, served with mushrooms and chili peppers, and without opening the pot, the smell that wafts out makes children salivate.

Chen Xiuyun didn't want old man Jiang to take advantage of his family. There were a lot of people in the courtyard, so he just kept bored and let everyone smell it.

When everyone was almost gone, Old Man Jiang reluctantly left. Chen Xiuyun brought a bowl to Widow Wang, and the mother and daughter three began to feast on it when they came back.

In the early morning of the second day, the four children of Yuan Chunhua's family cried loudly, and only then did the members know that Yuan Chunhua committed suicide by swallowing rat poison.
