good old days

Chapter 86 Gossip
Chen Jiajia and Li Yuezhen went to Jiang Xinyu's house after eating stick noodle cakes and fried wild vegetables in the shed.

As we walked along the way, the scent became stronger and stronger. When we entered the courtyard, we found that the source of the scent was here.

At this time, Jiang Xinyu had already cooked two bowls of pork belly noodles, and her stomach was round.

Li Yuezhen sniffed, "What is this made of, why is it so fragrant?"

After eating two sticks of pancakes just now, she instantly felt hungry again.

Chen Xiuyun got up and gave her the money left over from buying the meat, "The meat ticket was used up, and a catty of pork was [-] cents, and this is the remaining [-] cents. It was late, and the meat was not very good, and the meat was a bit thin."

Li Yuezhen took out [-] cents and handed it to her, "I have to trouble my aunt to help me cook the meat. Besides, is there any leftover for lunch? Can Jiajia and I have a bowl?"

Chen Xiuyun looked at the noodles in the bowl, there were probably two more bowls left, she made a lot of noodles, and thought that the two girls might buy them, and reserved them, as expected.

Chen Jiajia rubbed her stomach, she seemed to be full just now, but now she is hungry again.Although I was a little embarrassed, but after paying the money, and the taste was too delicious, when Chen Xiuyun handed over the bowl, Chen Jiajia did not refuse.

When they ate it in their mouths, they were overwhelmed by the strong noodles and the crispy tripe.

Li Yuezhen gave Chen Xiuyun a thumbs up, "Auntie's skill is the same as that of a chef in a state-run restaurant."

Being praised for her good cooking skills, Chen Xiuyun also showed a smile on her face, "Xinyu's uncle is the cook in the factory, and I learned fried tripe shredded pork from him when I went home last year." I didn't learn it specifically, but just read it once. Just keep it in my heart.

"Why did you go so long today?"

Chen Xiuyun said without changing her expression: "At first I wanted to see my eldest daughter, but it has been raining over there for the past two days, and the road is difficult to walk, so I turned back halfway."

While talking, there was a cry outside.

When Jiang Xinyu went out, she saw Widow Yuan crying with an old lady with gray hair and blood on her head and face.

"Oh my god, you can't die. If you die, what will the boys at home do?"

Widow Yuan is not very old next year, she is not yet thirty, and she howls like the aunts and aunts in the village.

The aunt next door asked, "What's wrong with your mother-in-law?"

Widow Yuan wiped her tears and said: "She was washing clothes by the pond, when she stood up she suddenly fainted and hit her head on a stone."

"If something happens to my mother-in-law, I won't be able to survive this day. Dr. Li said to send them to the hospital immediately." As for the four kids in the family, how could she bring them up by herself?
While talking, Zhang Tiezhu, an old bachelor in the village, came pushing a wheelbarrow he had just borrowed.

Chen Xiuyun asked: "Where are the tractors in the team?"

"I went to pull the farm tools and haven't come back yet."

This time, the old bachelor Zhang Tiezhu impressed the people in the brigade. He pushed the wheelbarrow seriously and pushed Widow Yuan's mother-in-law to the town, and Widow Yuan followed behind him crying.

Rumors about Zhang Tiezhu and Widow Yuan have been circulating in the brigade for a while.

Zhang Tiezhu is in his forties. He is a well-known old bachelor in the village. Because his parents died early, he has no elders to help him, and he has no siblings. As a worker, he can only get a basic ration at the end of the year, and the poor can't get a wife, and the people in the brigade can't see that he has the idea of ​​​​looking for a wife.

Until Yuan Chunhua's man died the year before last, it didn't take long for someone to discover that Yuan Chunhua and Zhang Tiezhu were getting mixed up.

Not many people knew about it at first, and the two of them were still sneaky. As time went by, not only Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi saw the two of them coming out of the small woods indistinctly, but many people in the village saw it on weekdays. , everyone is almost aware of the relationship between the two, and Yuan Chunhua's mother-in-law is still in the dark.

But it's hard to say if it's not really kept in the dark, no one can be sure.

After a while, it was time to go to work. The people in the brigade were scattered in the assigned mission plots. Even if they were separated by some distance, it did not prevent everyone from chatting lively.

"I saw Zhang Tiezhu's anxious look just now, and those who didn't know thought it was his mother-in-law."

Even if the speaker is deliberately burying someone.Yuan Chunhua's mother-in-law is less than ten years older than Zhang Tiezhu.

Who made Zhang Tiezhu idle for so many years and didn't work hard? There were not many people in the brigade who wanted to see him.

"Chunhua and Zhang Tiezhu might as well become a family. They can pick up four sons for nothing. What a wonderful thing."

Although the person who spoke was watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, there were really people who agreed.

"This method is good. Although the age difference is a little bit, one is a widow and the other is an old bachelor. They both have intentions and live a good life. The days are not far behind."

"No matter how good we talk, Chunhua's mother-in-law might agree. What about four grandchildren, how can they call someone else's father?"

Talking about Yuan Chunhua and Zhang Tiezhu, someone asked: "Who cooks delicious food at noon? It's so delicious, is it the food of the film studio?"

"Wow, it's Chen Xiuyun's family. The rabbit I made last week should have gone to the town to buy meat in the morning."

The one who spoke was Aunt Zhou, the mother-in-law of Zhang Lanxiang who lives next door to Jiang Xinyu's house.

Aunt Zhou deliberately raised her voice and asked Mrs. Li, "From Old Jiang's family, didn't Chen Xiuyun bring you a bowl of meat?"

Mrs. Li glared at her, then turned around and worked in another direction.

Ever since she became a "celebrity" from all over the world, Mrs. Li couldn't stand up anymore. She used to be harsh and unconvinced, which was extremely annoying. When people said one thing to her, she could pay back ten words. Now she is much more obedient. , and the aunt who didn't deal with her laughed at her, and she stopped arguing with others.

Chen Xiuyun had a good life. Of course she was not feeling well, but that was the only thing she could do. What else could she do?

"Sisters Yuzhu and Xinyu didn't come to work today, and Xiuyun didn't come today. If you don't come to work, you can eat meat from time to time. What a lucky life."

"My natal family is from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and is willing to help, but we are envious."

Someone else said sourly: "Chen Xiuyun's life is good. After the two daughters are married, she will be light. In the future, she will feed the whole family by herself. Unlike us, I have to worry about marrying a wife for my son and grandson."

These words touched the hearts of everyone, no matter how good your life is, without a son, you are nothing!

Widow Wang said in an indifferent way: "That's right. We are all worried about our lives, working hard. After worrying about our sons and grandchildren, there will never be a rest in our lives."

Everyone looked at each other and stopped discussing about Chen Xiuyun's family.

These two widows are going to be in-laws, and no one can resist this widow Wang's splash, not to mention that Chen Yi is now a movie projectionist, so everyone shouldn't hold it?
Gossip is gossip, everyone's work is not slow, the clothes on their backs are wet with sweat, and when the evening wind blows, the clothes dry and harden, leaving a yellowish mark.
