good old days

Chapter 291 Pregnant years ago

Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi, who were having fun in the city, never thought that Widow Wang could do such a thing alone at home.

It is true that the smaller the place, the more backward it becomes. The city is three times the size of the county. Although it does not have the appearance of high-rise buildings in later generations, and there are still mostly bungalows, it has begun to take shape in the scale of urbanization.

At the entrance of the cinema, a poster of "Sunny Day" stood, and Jiang Xinyu saw the faces of her sister and Zhou Qi again.

The two went to the scrap collection station. Although they didn't find anything valuable, there was a very broken radio. After spending [-] cents to take it away, Chen Yi disassembled all the usable parts and put them in his cloth pocket.

He is now very good at repairing radios, but since he doesn't have spare parts, he doesn't often come across old and broken radios, and he doesn't always make money from repairing radios and reselling them.

The two of them had a meal at a restaurant in the city at noon, including fried shredded eel and braised herring, which tasted better than the small restaurant in the commune.

As long as the money could be spent, Jiang Xinyu was willing to spend money. After buying the medicine, she went to the department store. She didn't have enough cloth tickets to buy clothes, so she bought three bottles of ice cream of different brands, Lei Sheng, Youyi and Pechoin. Card.She planned to give her mother and mother-in-law a bottle each when she got home.

In addition to the cream, I also bought some snacks that don’t require tickets.

She discovered that no matter how big the place was, there were long queues at the door of department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

I originally wanted to buy a record, but I found that most of the records were songs like "The East Is Red". After picking and choosing, I bought a record from Tsarist Russia.

Although the city is nice, eating vegetables is not as convenient as in their village. At least there are enough vegetables in summer.

Even if you enter the city these days, the places where you can play, shop, and spend money are limited. Jiang Xinyu was novel at first, but later she felt that the city was just like that.

There is no playground, no shopping building, supplies are in short supply, and you have to pay for everything, which is really inconvenient.

The two of them took the bus back to the county carrying their things.

In the car, I happened to see Song Guifang, his biological father and stepmother, and a young girl who spoke a dialect and said "I" in every word, wearing dusty and patched old clothes.

When the two of them got on the bus, there was no room left. Chen Yi circled her in front of him, holding the upper bar with one hand and holding something in front of her waist with the other.

This person was so crowded that he didn't care how close the men and women stood.

Jiang Xinyu's peripheral vision looked in the direction of Song Guifang.

There were too many people, Song Guifang and others were sitting at the back, and the girl spoke loudly.

"Auntie, what does Brother Zhikun mean? He doesn't like me, does he?"

"Why should he look down on me when he is a second-married man? I haven't said that he is eight years older than me."

Song Guifang sat aside expressionlessly.

She had never seen her stepmother like this. Last time, they forced her brother to marry Zhang Ling. As a result, the whole commune was embarrassed. This incident had just passed, and now the stepmother was trying to tell her brother about her niece. , her father didn’t stop her either.

If his brother hadn't been so stubborn this time and threatened to never pay his salary back home, it wouldn't have been so easy to send him away.

No matter what this girl's character is, just because she is a relative of the stepmother, she will not be happy for her brother to marry her.Listen to what she said, she is still married for the second time, what happened to her second marriage?His brother is a cadre, so it’s not difficult to find someone from the city!
"Auntie, I think Brother Zhikun can do it. Although he is older than me, I think it's okay. When can we come back next time?"

Song Guifang glanced at the girl, then at her biological father and stepmother, then looked away and said nothing.If you say it in this car, don't you have to be laughed at by others?
Her stepmother also pointed out that her brother gave money to the family, so she probably would not get involved in this matter again.

"Okay, he has high standards and looks down on you, so don't think about it."

Stepmother Song Guifang felt that Song Zhikun looked down on her niece and was humiliating her. Men like beautiful ones, but how many are good?
That Zhang Ling is good-looking and can speak well. Who would have thought that she is like that on the inside?How can you blame them? Song Zhikun wasn't interested in her in the first place, and she and his father couldn't work hard to match him up.The bus swayed to the county, and the girl was still chattering after getting off the bus.

Jiang Xinyu heard what the girl meant. She disliked Song Zhikun for being a second-married woman and being older than her, but she also thought she was a nice person.

Jiang Xinyu felt that the girl thought it was good because Song Zhikun had a job in the city.

Which pot goes with which lid? Jiang Xinyu feels that given Song Zhikun's conditions, he can now find an educated person in the city, that is, his biological father and stepmother, who will really hold him back.

Song Guifang had nothing to say to these three people. She went with them today just because she was afraid that her brother would let them manipulate him again.After getting out of the car, she walked home without saying a word.

Her stepmother pointed at her back and said to Song Guifang's biological father: "Look at her, she doesn't take me seriously, and she doesn't take you seriously either. What does it look like?"

Song Guifang's father was easily aroused. He glared fiercely in the direction Song Guifang left and said, "She was born in vain."

Song Guifang acted as if she hadn't heard anything and walked away without looking back.She thought sarcastically in her heart, did I let you give birth to me?Did you give birth to me?When her biological mother was still alive, she never saw her father being so spoiled. Now the stepmother is enjoying a blessing when she comes to her house. Why?
Jiang Xinyu was annoyed by this man who favored sons over daughters and married a step-wife who didn't treat the children of his ex-wife as human beings. Song Guifang's father really took all of them.

She felt her eyes hurt just by looking at these two people.

The two of them took their things and went to Dongfeng Photo Studio to take pictures.

The colored photo that was developed last time didn’t have the face painted on, but it looked okay. Today, I’m wearing a red dress. How can I not take a photo and keep a photo?

The master of the photo studio has never seen anyone who loves taking pictures more than the two of them.

A movie was being shown in the commune, and some young people from their brigade were watching it. In the movie, they saw Jiang Yuzhu and the people from the studio who had been in the team, as well as the snot babies and old men from her brigade who had participated in the movie. Everyone Not to mention how surprised.

Jiang Xinyu spent a day shopping and returned home happily.

Widow Wang had done something wrong, so she cooked the rice early and put it in the pot.

Frogs are all lean meat, so you can eat them every once in a while and never get tired of them. Widow Wang knows that Jiang Xinyu likes spicy food, so she added a lot of chili peppers and fried eggplant bacon for Chen Yi without spicy food.

The two of them were eating, and Widow Wang showed off the prepared tomato sauce to Jiang Xinyu.

"I wiped everything inside this bottle. After putting the tomatoes in, I steamed them again in the pot. I removed all the skins from the persimmons and added some salt. It's not sticky after boiling, but I don't know how long it can be stored. This If it can be kept until winter, I can also make tomato fish soup."

This bottle is just for trial use. No matter how long it can be stored, the endless wave of tomato king widows in summer are ready to be cooked into sauce.

She thinks Jiang Xinyu is smart. This chili pepper can be cooked into sauce, so why can't foreign persimmons?If they had known how to cook this sauce before, they would have been able to eat persimmons in winter.

Jiang Xinyu dug out a spoonful, tasted it and nodded, "I think it should work."

After finishing the meal and washing the pots and dishes, Jiang Xinyu gave her mother-in-law a bottle of cream.

"Don't be reluctant to use it. We'll buy it after you've finished it."

Widow Wang felt happy because she still had more than half of the bottle she had last time.The fact that her daughter-in-law is buying things for her is not stingy at all.

Watching her daughter-in-law come out of the hut and return to the house in her pajamas after taking a bath, she covered her heart when she thought of the things she had punctured.

God bless, her daughter-in-law must be pregnant before the year.
