Rebirth and struggle for rural daughter-in-law

Chapter 15 Education Conference
Zhang Guilan stayed in the city for one night, and walked around the city the next day, bought some odds and ends for the house, and then went back to the passenger station, took back the clothes she had made, and boarded the bus.

This time she bought cotton cloth and cotton together. The quilts at home are thick gray-green quilts, not too thick and quite hard. Even though her life was not good in her previous life, she is really not used to such quilts.

Now I haven’t sold the twentieth-century silk quilts, so I can only make them myself. When I get home, I see the family members in the yard whispering in twos and threes, as if something happened.

Zhang Guilan's doubts didn't last long, and she learned the whole story from Jiang Zhi. It turned out that the team organized family members in the compound to attend lectures, which was new.

As for the specifics, I didn’t say anything, but on the surface it was said that it was to follow up with my husband’s steps and raise awareness. People in the know will understand what’s going on after thinking about it. The rumors about Zhang Guilan and Yang Zongyi just came out a while ago. So I organized a lecture, and I knew what was going on without thinking too much.

There are only two buildings in the family compound, and the total number of family members is 28. To put it bluntly, the whole compound will know who has a mouse all day the next day.

Everyone knows the truth of the matter in their hearts. Sometimes there are some rumors. In addition to the unique gossip nature of women, the other side is that they are too idle. Once this person is idle, there will be more things.

Jiang Zhi followed Zhang Guilan into the house with the child in his arms, "I haven't been to school either, so I'll sit next to my sister-in-law in class tomorrow, and my sister-in-law can give me some pointers if I don't know it."

"It's okay. We'll sit next to each other. I haven't been to school. I learned to read from people in the village. But I won't teach difficult things to women like us." Mainly ideological awareness, Maybe it's just talking quickly.

Zhang Guilan understands this era very well. In the eyes of people in the twentieth century, she is considered the cutest person.

Jiang Zhi didn't know what to do, knowing that Zhang Guilan was tired when she came back from the city, so she left without sitting for a long time. Zhang Guilan waited for Jiang Zhi to leave, first tidied up the house, and boiled hot water to use the cloth she bought to make a quilt After scalding with hot water, wash it out and hang it up, Zhang Guilan is a bit obsessed with cleanliness, as soon as someone touches something on her body, she must wash it immediately, otherwise she will never get close to her body again.

After a day of tossing around, Zhang Guilan finally lay on the bed. Thinking that Luo Ji had been out for half a month without a single letter, Zhang Guilan was also very angry, so she worked hard secretly, waiting for the man to bow down to her. , It's not too late to give him anger.

Thinking of Luo Ji's cold face, flattering and coaxing her, Zhang Guilan really couldn't figure out what kind of expression that was, but she couldn't help laughing out loud. It was a dreamless night, and when she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright .

I have to attend class at nine o'clock today, and Zhang Guilan didn't plan to go out for a run. She had porridge and an egg for breakfast. She had just finished cleaning when she heard Jiang Zhi knocking on the door and calling, "Is sister-in-law awake?"

"Come in quickly." As soon as Zhang Guilan opened the door, she saw Jiang Zhi holding the child with a nervous expression on his face.

Jiang Zhi entered the room, "Sister-in-law, can I wear this?"

A jacket made of red and white gingham, a pair of blue polyester cardigan pants, and two big braids in front of her body. From the perspective of this era, Zhang Guilan couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Together, "Very good."

At this time, this kind of red and white checked clothes is very common, and almost everyone wears this kind of clothes on the street. Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Guilan has never seen Jiang Zhi in such a suit.

"This jacket was made for me by my mother when I got married, and I have never been willing to wear it."

"Wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go." Zhang Guilan had cut some hair earlier, and the braid would not be too long.

She didn't like to comb her hair into two twisted braids and put it in front of her body. She turned around and went to the bathroom, picked up the scissors, and cut off some hair. Finally, she tied a ponytail. The clothes were made in the city yesterday, and they were made of black wool. With the addition of black portable pants, and the fact that she has deliberately lost weight these days, she has become an eye-catching person all day long.

"Sister-in-law is really energetic." At this time, it is not common to praise people for being beautiful.

Zhang Guilan is also very satisfied with her outfit. With a figure of 130 catties, it is not bad to be able to dress like this.

Jiang Zhi tilted his head and sized it up for a while, thinking it was weird, but he couldn't tell why Zhang Guilan's outfit was weird, so the two of them went downstairs without time to think about it.The place to listen to the lectures is the large canteen in the forest area. There are 28 women and children, and less than 30 people sit around two tables. They all sat together.

Zhang Guilan walked in with this attire, which inevitably attracted people's attention, especially her pair of trousers, which were different from what people are wearing now. If there were no superiors present, someone would have gone up to ask.

Wang Li, who has sharp eyes, noticed something and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, did you cut your hair?"

In this era, everyone has two big braids, and there is really no such thing as Zhang Guilan combed into a ponytail.

Wang Li's voice was not too loud, just enough for everyone present to hear. Jiang Zhi, who was sitting next to Zhang Guilan, realized it at this moment. No wonder she felt weird when she looked at it. It turned out that it was this hair. ah.

Facing the scrutinizing gazes, Zhang Guilan remained motionless and accepted the scrutiny calmly. It was just a hair, and it was her own. Even if she was cut bald, no one else could control her.

Wang Li originally thought that Zhang Guilan would be the one who was embarrassed when she made such a noise, but seeing that Zhang Guilan didn't feel embarrassed at all, she felt the eyes of the superiors sweeping her body, and she blushed and bowed her head guiltily.

Shang Hong didn't do it next to Wang Li this time, but sat with a woman who was also from the city. The two talked in a low voice and couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they looked very happy, but after hearing about Zhang Guilan's When she was hair-cut, she raised her head and glanced at Zhang Guilan, the corner of her mouth curled up in disgust, and then she looked away.

Fortunately, at this time, all the superiors were present, and one of them was Zhang Guilan, who was the fat man who talked to her last time. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone be quiet, this time we are calling everyone here." , The main purpose is to raise everyone’s consciousness as a family member of a man. We are wives, and we need to have the same consciousness as a man. The times are advancing, and we must make progress. In addition to taking good care of the small family, we must also unite, not only to improve ourselves , You have to lead the people around you to make progress. This is a qualified man and wife. There are not many family members in our compound, but the burden on your shoulders is heavy. There is no man by your side on weekdays, and everything must be done. Resist on your own, at this time, the importance of neighbors is reflected, and it is better to be near than far."

"If a person wants to make continuous progress, he must continuously improve his knowledge level, and more importantly, constantly improve his ideological and political quality and moral cultivation. With the continuous development of society, we must strengthen the political and moral assessment of cadres and improve the quality of cadres. Everyone who cares about himself is called private virtue, and everyone who cares about others is called public morality. Both of them are indispensable in life. As cadres and family members, we can’t improve our own quality, so how can we be leaders and managers? Others? Although we are family members, we are also a backing, a backing that allows men to serve the country and serve the people with peace of mind." The fat leader stood in front and talked, and the people below were clearly absent-minded, and he could see it. Changed to Feng, "A few days ago, there were some rumors that were not conducive to unity in the compound. This matter needs to be criticized. Those things that talk about and slander others are done by people with no quality and knowledge. It is not only shameful. , It’s embarrassing for us men. If there is evidence, we should ask the leader to respond, instead of arbitrarily arranging it according to the wind, this is basically framing and breaking the law.”

The last few words were stern and made many people feel guilty. Zhang Guilan glanced at Wang Li who was opposite her with a smile. Wang Li lowered her head in a panic, obviously looking guilty.

This time I said it was a lecture, but it was more like a political class.

When everyone dispersed, it was almost noon, and finally the superior made a decision, and everyone went directly to the forest area after lunch, which can be regarded as a fair public meal.

Stewed tofu with cabbage, stewed pork with vermicelli, the two dishes are served in a basin on each table, and there is also a large bowl of steamed buns. Before, I didn’t dare to see the world, but this meal showed my true colors. Zhang Guilan felt that this was similar to a wedding banquet in the countryside. She and Shang Hong were the only ones who took one pot of steamed buns, and everyone else had two.

"Sister-in-law, take another one, or you won't have it in a while." Jiang Zhi took one in his hand and put another in the bowl, and Li Quan still had another in his hand.

"No, I'm full with this one." Zhang Guilan has lost weight for a while, and her stomach is obviously smaller, and she will be full after eating a little.

Jiang Zhi also knew that she was trying to lose weight, so he didn't try to persuade her any more. The speed at which the women sat at the two tables was obviously comparable to those who were going to college.

Zhang Guilan felt ashamed. When she looked up and saw that the leader over there did not show any surprise, she understood that women in this era are fierce.

As for Shang Hong, maybe it's because of her disdain, or maybe it's because Zi Yu was born tall, so her food tastes more civilized.

After the meal, when Zhang Guilan and Jiang Zhi came out, they were stopped by several women, "Sister-in-law, where did you make your clothes?"

"The tailor of Li's family next to the passenger station."

"The clothes are well made. I'll make one another day. Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're welcome."

After the women left, Jiang Zhi looked hesitant, and when he was almost home, he asked, "Sister-in-law, I think they are the ones who made things difficult for you last time, why do you still pay attention to them?"

These women were the ones who used newspapers to make Zhang Guilan look bad last time.

Zhang Guilan smiled faintly, "They dare to come and talk to me after doing something wrong, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

In fact, it's more that Zhang Guilan is a little disdainful. After living two lives, it doesn't matter what others think of her. She wants to live a good life and be a good wife. She knows Luo Ji too well. For a person who can bear a slap, if she gets into trouble with this woman here, she will lose her mind with Luo Ji first, and she will get another note of notoriety.
