Rebirth and struggle for rural daughter-in-law

Chapter 3
After leaving the compound in the forest area, there is a small bridge more than 200 meters along the road. The bus to the city stops there. It leaves at [-]:[-] every morning and departs from the bus station in the city at [-]:[-] p.m. It's almost three o'clock in the district, and it takes two hours to drive for one hour. The main reason is that after the bus leaves the city, it has to drop people off in every surrounding village, and finally arrives at the forest area. It's an hour's drive That turned into two hours.

When Zhang Guilan arrived at Xiaoqiao, she saw some familiar faces, most of whom were family members in the compound with Shang Hong. One of them, Wang Li, was Shang Hong's dog leg. I heard that she came from the farm in Sanjiang, so it was considered Those from the countryside, but because they are good at currying favor with others, they also got mixed up in the circle of Shang Hong and those city people.

"Sister-in-law is going to the city? Leader Luo and the others are resting today, so why go to the city with sister-in-law? I really don't worry that sister-in-law is alone." This is not pleasant to say.

One is to imply that Zhang Guilan is not liked by men, and the other is that Zhang Guilan came from the countryside, and it would be embarrassing if lost in the city.

Zhang Guilan pursed her lips and smiled, "It would be incomprehensible for men to accompany our women to go shopping after a few months of training. I saw Yang's sister-in-law leave in the car in the morning. Why didn't she go with her? The bus is crowded. Ah, only those who come from the countryside can get used to it.”

Shang Hong's man's surname is Yang. Every day when Shang Hong goes to work in the city, he will take the forest area or a friend's private car into the city together. Although he didn't see it in the morning, Zhang Guilan knew about it in the previous life.

Wang Li's face was a little uneasy, and her tone was sour, "Sister-in-law doesn't know, I also came from the countryside. I get motion sickness when I ride in that car, and I get used to this bus. I'm a poor person."

If you don't like Zhang Guilan, it's more of a resentment towards Shang Hong.

Zhang Guilan pursed her lips and didn't say much, just as the bus came, she got on the bus following the flow, found a seat at the back and sat down, but Wang Li also followed and sat down, she was much more enthusiastic towards Zhang Guilan than before up.

Then he said with a suppressed voice, "Sister-in-law just came to us, and she doesn't know the situation in this courtyard. Those of us who come from the countryside are always pointed out wherever we go. If it weren't for the man in my family who is an accountant, he has been persuading us all the time. If I want to get along with each other in harmony, how can I keep getting close to those people, making it look like I have to curry favor with them."

There is a bit of truth in these words, but Zhang Guilan is still unwilling to talk about these gossips, "What do you want to buy today?"

"It's not that there is no rice at home. I came here to buy some. Although the forest area has food for the New Year and the holidays, but there is still a half-sized child in my family. One person can eat as much as two people. That little grain is not enough, but follow me. Compared with life on the farm, it is much better now, with rice, flour and meat."

Despite the reform and opening up, the life of the people across the country is still not very good. It is common to not have enough to eat, especially the living conditions in rural areas, which are the worst. If there is any food at home, we have to plan to eat it, especially when we are approaching. In autumn, almost every family has no rice at that time, and most of them have to rely on eating potatoes and sweet potatoes to get food.

Zhang Guilan grew up in the countryside, so she is very aware of this situation. My grandma’s family has a large population. What my grandma has to do every day is to wash potatoes. There are nearly [-] people in the family, plus uncles who have married and have children. Every meal needs two large pots of potatoes.

"What do sister-in-laws buy? Why don't we go together." Maybe they all came from the countryside, but Wang Li felt more and more close to Zhang Guilan at this time.

Zhang Guilan didn't refuse either, "Just to buy some daily necessities, let's go together."

After getting out of the car, Wang Li took Zhang Guilan away, and introduced where the food was cheap, where the rice was good, and where the daily necessities were sold. Zhang Guilan knew these things in her previous life, even more familiar than Wang Li. Don't criticize, just listen carefully.

When buying rice, Zhang Guilan also bought red beans and mung beans, and also bought some soybeans. Wang Li looked at the side and said in surprise, "Sister-in-law bought these for planting? The team is giving each family a vegetable plot." , but there are only two cages, and I can only grow some vegetables that I eat on weekdays, how can there be enough to grow these.”

After getting along this morning, Zhang Guilan also found out that Wang Li said she was straight, but she had only one tendon in her brain, and her human nature is not bad. After listening to what she said, she didn't feel that there was something else to say .

"I want to get some soybean sprouts to eat. I moved here late, and I don't have winter vegetables at home." Zhang Guilan was just saying politely.

With what she learned in the study class in her last life, not to mention not stocking winter vegetables, she can make a few dishes even with these soybean sprouts, and they don't cost much and they are delicious.

Wang Li was deeply moved, "Then I'll buy some too. To be honest, it's better for us to have a fixed salary, but a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. With this little money, the family's life is even more difficult."

In the end, Zhang Guilan bought another box of cream. Thinking of Luo Ji's hand, she ordered another clam oil. With a few odds and ends, the two of them boarded the bus.

After this day, Wang Li also liked Zhang Guilan more and more, "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, come and chat with me, don't always stay at home by yourself."

Zhang Guilan put the few books she bought back into the triangular pocket, "Okay, I'm just here too, wait until the house is tidied up, then don't hate me, girl."

Wang Li smiled, "When I saw my sister-in-law before, I thought she was an unreasonable person, but after getting to know her, I realized that she is easy to get along with. Why don't sister-in-law and leader Luo come to my house to eat at night, and I will make dumplings."

"No need, look, I also bought so many things, I don't know when I will pack them up when I get home, let's wait for a chance." In fact, Zhang Guilan also bought meat, but she didn't want to make dumplings.

Luo Ji had to go out for training early every morning, and she would be hungry soon after eating porridge. She wanted to wrap some big buns with meat and vegetables and put them on the balcony to freeze, so that they could be warmed up every morning to save trouble.

Wang Li pursed her lips and smiled. The husband and wife had been separated for so long, and it was time for the heat, so they didn't let go.

When she got home, Zhang Guilan had bought too many things. Fortunately, a young man ran over to help carry them, and when they were carried upstairs, he shyly ran away. Luo Ji also came out of the study when he heard the sound.

Seeing a pile of things on the ground, as if he had expected it a long time ago, "Is the money enough?"

This man is really not cute.

Zhang Guilan decided to let him go for now, and when he fell in love with her, she slowly repaired him and said with a smile, "That's enough, there are more than ten yuan left, be hungry, I will cook now."

Dinner was stewed pork with vermicelli and white rice. Luo Ji obviously liked it very much, and more than half of it went into his stomach again. However, seeing that Zhang Guilan didn't move his chopsticks, he asked this time, "Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm losing weight." Zhang Guilan blushed.

Luo Ji obviously didn't expect it. After being slightly stunned, he looked at Zhang Guilan with a stern face, feeling uncomfortable being stared at by him. Zhang Guilan said again, "I can't stay here, I want to go to the city tomorrow to see There's nothing to do, don't you think?"

"You can figure it out." Luo Ji was not good at words, but looked at Zhang Guilan again.

Zhang Guilan cleaned up the table, went back to her room and sat on the bed in a daze, although she hadn't made any progress with Luo Ji, it was good that she hadn't become like an enemy, picked up the clam oil, Zhang Guilan got up again, Luo Ji had just washed Face came out of the bathroom, Zhang Guilan also felt that it was easy, and handed him the clam oil directly.

Luo Ji didn't say much, took it, turned around and entered the house without any hesitation, Zhang Guilan knew in her heart that this would happen, but when she returned to her house, she still couldn't help being sad.

There was no dream all night. When Zhang Guilan woke up in the morning, the room was empty. Looking at the bright sky, she also knew that Luo Ji had left, so she simply lay back on the bed. Anyway, she felt that she was virtuous and he had an ulterior motive.
