good old days

Chapter 84 Laundry

It has been raining for the past two days, that is to say, people only come out when the weather clears up. When Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, the queue was not short.

She looked at the sky, and when Chen Yi returned, it was probably going to be dark.

"You go home, I'm in this row, it will be dark in a while."

Chen Yi said: "Today I live in the commune." Because he was afraid of rain again, he told Widow Wang when he left.

The so-called "dormitory" in the commune is the office area for the employees. A room is less than ten square meters, with two beds, a table in the middle, shelves and a basin. The space is small, but it can barely be regarded as everything have.

That being the case, Jiang Xinyu will stop talking.

There is a shortage of supplies these days, and buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative requires not only money but also a ticket. If you are unlucky, you will not be able to buy things with money and tickets.For example, brown sugar, which is only available during the Chinese New Year, is more expensive than white sugar.

The attitude of the salespersons was still condescending. When Jiang Xinyu was buying sanitary belts, Chen Yi was asking about the brown sugar. The brown sugar was gone. He looked around and saw that the orange hard candy was beautifully made. He had already opened his mouth, but Jiang Xinyu said: "Don't buy it, I haven't finished eating what you bought before."

Before coming here, she had never eaten so much sugar.

The sanitary belt was wrapped in the military coat by Jiang Xinyu, and when she got out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she asked for the backpack from Chen Yi and put the things in it after being a little further away from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He sent her all the way to school, and watched her enter the dormitory before leaving.

The previous confession, the two seemed to have forgotten together, they both tacitly did not mention it again, and got along as usual.

In addition to studying, the daily life of the school also includes shouting slogans and working.Jiang Xinyu's review progress is not slow. She focuses on the study of Chinese, mathematics, politics, history and geography. From her understanding of the 1977 college entrance examination, the college entrance examination is divided into arts and sciences. Do not know at all.

As for chemistry and physics, with all due respect, what she learns now is somewhat different from what she learns in school in later generations.

Today's physics is about three machines and one pump of agricultural machinery, and chemistry is about pesticides and fertilizers. What you learn has a lot to do with the grain output in the field.

Jiang Xinyu knows that the country will undergo earth-shaking changes in just a few decades. She has no intention of conquering this era. The goal at this stage is to eat enough to satisfy her cravings, and her further goal is to go to university and leave here. It would be even better if relatives take the entrance exam together.

It rained intermittently for three or four days, and it cleared up completely on Tuesday. The sky was blue and blue, and the white clouds seemed to be painted on. When it cleared up again, the temperature of the sun was several degrees higher than before. When it turns yellow.

The people in the brigade resumed work after they were almost dry on the ground, and the people in the film studio also resumed filming. However, the heroine Chen Jiajia's illness has not recovered.

After Chen Jiajia's fever subsided, a large red rash appeared on her body again, on her arms, neck, back and chest, and she couldn't stop wanting to scratch it.

The barefoot doctor in the brigade usually sees it with headaches and headaches. After all, he has no professional medical knowledge. After looking at Chen Jiajia's arm, he said it might be rubella and asked him to go to the county hospital to see it.

Dr. Li was not sure if it was rubella, and he didn't dare to delay his condition. He strongly suggested that Chen Jiajia go to the county hospital to have a look.The director and other staff of the studio also asked her to visit the county hospital.

Chen Jiajia felt guilty, the rain had already delayed the progress, and if she got sick again, she didn't know when it would be delayed again.

In desperation, Chen Jiajia had no choice but to get on the tractor in the team packed very tightly, and was bumped and sent to the county hospital.

After some inquiries and examinations, the doctor said that the eczema was caused by allergies to mosquito bites.

There is no need to be hospitalized for this disease. The doctor concluded that it was acute eczema. After all, Chen Jiajia did not have this disease before, and it was also caused by a sudden change in the environment and acclimatization.The doctor told her not to go to places with many mosquitoes, otherwise the rash might never go away.

After Chen Jiajia returned to the Wuliqiao brigade with the medicine, she gave Li Yuezhen money and a ticket, and asked her to help her buy some fine grains for her health.As for what the doctor said, she could only ignore it. This was her first time making a movie, and she couldn't leave until the movie was finished.

Yingzi's scenes could not be filmed for the time being, so Fang Shibin had to arrange the scenes without Yingzi first.

When Jiang Xinyu went home on Friday, she walked to the big river and saw people from the film studio filming the scene of falling into the water by the big river.

Zhang Zhiqiang, played by Zhou Qi, was beaten up by the bully Peng Zhuosheng's servants, and then thrown into the surging river.

Now filming is all done by the actors themselves, unlike some delicate stars who will use doubles when filming dangerous scenes decades later.

The river was not so turbulent in this season, but the water temperature was definitely not high. Zhou Qi could swim, and when he jumped up, he smiled brightly at everyone, which was in sharp contrast to his gritted teeth, resentment, bitter hatred, deep hatred, and death rather than surrender when he was beaten up just now.

Jiang Xinyu and Feng Xiaohua looked at it for a while and then left. Halfway up the road, they waved goodbye and walked back to their respective brigades.

Chen Yi seems to be very busy this week, since she sent her to school that day, she hasn't seen him for a week.

Before entering the gate, Xiao Hei frantically greeted her with his tail and buttocks.

Xiao Hei is now a half-grown native dog, as high as Jiang Xinyu's knees, with pointed ears, shiny fur, not fat but well-proportioned.

Comrade Chen Xiuyun was washing clothes in the courtyard, Jiang Xinyu looked at them, and judging from the color of the clothes Chen Xiuyun washed, it was absolutely impossible to be Comrade Chen Xiuyun's own, nor could it be Jiang Yuzhu's, and the few new cloths did not have this color.

"Mom, whose clothes did you wash?"

Chen Xiuyun pointed to the room in the yard, "The two of them gave me fifty cents."

Jiang Xinyu felt a little uncomfortable, even if she was given money, she would not do this job.Usually it is okay to give money and tickets for a meal, but that is inconvenient for them.There is also money for washing clothes, although it is also a transaction, but Jiang Xinyu feels uncomfortable in her heart.

"Mom, I won't do this job in the future, and I won't do it even if I'm paid."

Seeing that she was not happy, Chen Xiuyun stopped rubbing her clothes.

Jiang Xinyu looked at the water in the water tank, and there was only half of the two tanks left, so she simply took the bucket to lift the water.

Chen Xiuyun looked at the back of her going out with the bucket, and sighed in her heart, knowing that the little girl's self-esteem was boosted.For her, she can get fifty cents for one wash, which is already a lot of money, and fifty cents can buy half a catty of meat on the black market. If you don’t buy meat, you can buy more for other things, which is a good deal. buy and sell.

The little girl is still young and thin-skinned, and feels that she is inferior to others after washing her clothes.

Chen Xiuyun understood the little girl, but next time she was paid to do laundry, she would still do it.

She can do any work that can bring income to the family without risk, even washing clothes.

Chen Jiajia, who was lying in the room, was writing a letter, and twitched the corners of her lips after hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter.

No matter how self-respecting Jiang Xinyu is, it can't change the fact that her family needs the fifty cents.Those who came from the capital were completely different from the people from the Wuliqiao Brigade.

Chen Jiajia quickly finished writing the letter to send home, folded it, put it in the envelope, wrote the address and zip code clearly on the envelope, and then affixed a stamp.

Her handwriting is neat, the envelope looks very neat, and every word on it is very clear.
