Chen Zhijie didn't want to get married.

He really liked Pan Xiaorong. The days in the countryside were not easy to endure. Pan Xiaorong's presence made him much happier, not to mention that she improved his life from time to time, so he didn't drool like other educated youth before they even smelled the meat.

However, he didn't like her enough to want to get married, especially at this critical moment.

The reason why the team leader didn't tell them about the resumption of the college entrance examination was because Ma Ge was dating the team leader's daughter, and he was afraid that Ma Ge would pass the college entrance examination and leave and never come back.

If he really married Pan Xiaorong, what if the Pan family was afraid that he would run away and made a fuss about not letting him take the college entrance examination?

He didn't really want to run away, but some people would think so.

What if he was blocked from entering the city at that time?

"Xiaorong." Chen Zhijie said with some unfamiliarity: "I thought about it, let's forget about getting married. It's too hasty for us."

"It's not hasty. Aren't we together? Didn't you say you like me very much?" Pan Xiaorong was anxious. If it was another time, she might not be so anxious.

But Su Lin was forcing her, and now Chen Zhijie had the opportunity to leave the village, how could she not be afraid of being left behind?

But what she didn't know was that the more anxious she was to get married, the less Chen Zhijie wanted to get married, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only perfunctorily say: "You know, my parents don't want me to get married in another place, and I still have to do a good job of their ideological work."

"But..."

"It's almost dark, you should go back first, otherwise it will be difficult to walk on the night road later." Chen Zhijie interrupted her directly.

If this was said in the past, Pan Xiaorong would definitely be very happy to hear it, after all, this was Chen Zhijie's thoughtfulness and words of concern for her.

But now...

"Let's go, I'll make an appointment with you in two days." Chen Zhijie urged, with a smile on his face, but a little evasive in his eyes.

Pan Xiaorong had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The next morning, Su Lin just woke up and was hugged by a little child, "Uncle, you're awake."

Su Lin blinked to wake himself up. He stretched out a hand and circled his nephew's back to prevent him from falling, "Why are you here?"

"Grandma said that uncle doesn't have to work, so I should stay at home with him." Su Xiaoxi kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

Su Lin was confused at first, then chuckled.

Except for a five-year-old child, he was the only adult who didn't have to work at home. Even the pregnant Su Dasao had to do some light work in the fields.

Su Lin got up, put on his clothes first, and then picked up his nephew, "Let's go and play with uncle."

"Okay, I like playing the most." Xiaoxi waved her hands happily, and her little face looked particularly excited, "Grandpa said that uncle is the best at playing in our family."

Su Lin was speechless. Wasn't the original person the one who was the best at playing?

The whole family had to work to earn work points, even Xiaoxi would help pick up ears of grain or feed the chickens at home, but the original body never helped the family at all, didn't wash clothes, didn't cook, and didn't even want to throw a handful of grain to feed the chickens.

After Su Lin finished washing up, he took his nephew to play games.

As they were playing, Su Xiaoxi began to feel strange. He looked at the rag in his hand and asked in confusion: "Uncle, are you playing by wiping the table?"

Su Lin took the broom, "Of course, let's see who is faster."

Su Xiaoxi frowned. Although he didn't quite understand, his uncle's words would not be false, so he should just listen obediently.

That is, this game is not very fun.

When it was noon, the other people in the family had returned. Su Dasao went straight into the kitchen to cook, and the others sat in the yard to drink water.

Li Yan took two sips of water and said, "Da De, I'll pick some more vegetables and send them to your second sister's house later."

Su De responded, "I asked the team leader for two hours' leave, I should be able to come back."

"Come back after delivering the things, don't stay too long." Li Yan reminded, "Your second sister is thinking about us, if you stay a little longer, who knows what she will bring back home."

"Don't worry, mom, I'll leave after putting the things down." Su De looked honest.

Su Lin came over, "Mom, is your brother going to town?"

Li Yan nodded, "I feel uneasy about the pork sent by your second sister. You also know that her in-laws have never been satisfied with her. If they really knew, Su Fen's life would definitely be difficult."

Su Lin thought, recalling the story of the second sister of the Su family.

The original body had two sisters.

A second sister and a third sister.

Although the Su family dotes on their youngest son, they at least treat the other children well. Su He, the third sister of the Su family, is a high school student in the family and the only girl in the village who has attended high school.

After all, life is difficult now, and few families can afford to send their children to school, especially girls.

Outsiders say that Su He is smart and blessed.

She is smart because she has a high school diploma, and she is blessed because she met a good boy while studying and successfully married to the town to live a good life.

Compared with the third sister Su He, Su Fen is not so eye-catching.

The Su family also supported her to study, but she did not continue after graduating from junior high school, but chose to work to earn work points to help reduce the burden on the family.

It was because she was thinking about her family that she was still unmarried at the age of 23.

Finally, when Su He got married, Wang Tao, who came to attend the ceremony, fell in love with her and pursued her for half a year before marrying her back.

Wang Tao is good, but the Wang family doesn't like this daughter-in-law.

The girl in the village only has a junior high school diploma, and what's more unsatisfactory is that this daughter-in-law is three or four years older than their son.

Especially at that time, they had their eyes on another girl, a girl with a formal job. Compared with the two, the Wang family looked down on Su Fen even more.

But Wang Tao liked her, and Su Fen was also a capable and hardworking person. Even if the Wang family's parents-in-law didn't like her, they wouldn't make too much trouble, just occasionally quarreling.

But if they knew that Su Fen went to her parents' home to steal things, Su Fen would definitely be scolded again.

Li Yan felt sorry for her daughter. Even if her family was greedy for this piece of meat, they couldn't bear to eat it. She simply exchanged the meat for some other mountain products in the village, and sent the fresh vegetables grown at home to support her daughter.

The people in the town might not be as short of money as they were, but even if they had money, they might not be able to buy these things in the town. It was just right to take them with them.

"If big brother has something to do, why don't I take it over?" Su Lin said. He just wanted to go to town and find something to do. He couldn't just stay at home doing nothing.

However, when he finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Let Su Lin deliver things?

Then it is very likely that these things can't be delivered...

Su De scratched his head, and didn't know how to refuse, so he could only say dryly: "No, no, I'll go."

Li Yan didn't want her youngest son to go, but she couldn't say it directly, so she could only glare at her husband to make him speak.

Su Daguo had no choice but to clear his throat and said: "Right, your big brother has asked for leave, let him go."

"It's okay, then I'll go with big brother." Su Lin smiled gently, "It just so happens that I haven't seen my second sister for a while."

Others were speechless again.

"Then, then if you want to go, go, but you also know that Su Fen's life is not easy, you must not cause trouble for her." Li Yan reminded.

In the past, the youngest son had never asked his two sisters for things on his own initiative.

But what if he opens his mouth this time? If the youngest son really opens his mouth, Su Fen's personality will probably make him agree.

"I know, I'll go get ready." Su Lin responded and turned back to the house.

After everyone went in, Li Yan pulled the eldest son to her side and whispered: "When you get to your second sister's house, don't let your brother stay alone with her. Remember to pull him away immediately after putting down the things... Hey, is the house cleaner?"

As she spoke, she felt something was wrong.

She remembered that the yard had not been cleaned for two or three days, and there were a lot of fallen leaves. She was thinking about sweeping it when she was free in the evening. How come it looks cleaner?

"It's my uncle!" Su Xiaoxi raised her hand and said happily: "My uncle took me to play games today. My uncle is so good. He also played with me."

It's just not fun, and I'm a little tired.

But it's rare for my uncle to accompany him, so he's happy even if it's not fun.

"Su Lin? He swept the floor?" Li Yan couldn't believe it. Her youngest son had never done housework since he was a child. Why did he suddenly lose his mind today?

But after thinking about it, I just felt happy and didn't take it to heart.

But when the youngest son came out again, he praised him continuously, wishing he could praise him directly to the sky, and kept praising him until the two brothers were about to leave.

When Su Lin stepped out of the courtyard gate, he was still a little dazed, and was praised...

"Little brother, let me take the things." Su De took the bag from Su Lin's hand, and he said, "There is no ox cart to the town at this time. We have to walk for an hour. If you are tired, just tell us and let's rest on the side of the road."

"Okay." Su Lin nodded.

He didn't refuse. According to the physical strength of the original body, an hour's journey is really difficult. If he doesn't rest, his legs will be weak when he arrives in the town.

It's very interesting that when going to the town, it was such a coincidence that he met the male protagonist first and then the female protagonist.

The former greeted them as usual, obviously not knowing about the original body's private affairs with Pan Xiaorong.

The latter turned a corner when she saw him from a distance, for fear of bumping into him.

Looking at Pan Xiaorong's attitude, it seems that she doesn't want to return the things she received. Su Lin thought as he walked that he had to find a way to make the other party return them.

Thinking about things in his mind, he felt a little more relaxed when walking.

When he arrived in the town, Su Lin was a little out of breath, but he was not unable to walk.

The two walked into an alley with familiarity.

Unlike the independent houses in the village, there are tube buildings here. Several people in a family are squeezed into a room of 40 or 50 square meters. Although it is small, who doesn't want to live in a three- or four-story tube building now?

The Wang family lives on the third floor. When the two came to the door, they just wanted to knock on the door, but the door was opened from the inside.

The one who opened the door was an old lady. She frowned slightly when she saw the people coming, and then a smile bloomed on her old face when she saw what they were carrying.

"My dear nephews, why are you here?" Mrs. Wang turned around and shouted into the house, "Su Fen, someone from your mother's family is here, boil some hot water for them."

Su De put down the things in his hand and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I have to go back to work, so I won't drink any water."

"How can that be? You have to drink some hot water before you leave when you come to our house." Mrs. Wang did not allow them to refuse, and directly stretched out her hand to pull the two brothers in.

If it were in the past, if they said they wanted to leave, Mrs. Wang would never keep them, after all, she didn't like the poor relatives on her daughter-in-law's side.

But not today, she just has something happy that she wants to show off, "If you came a few days earlier, Wang Tao could still chat with you, but not now, he has joined the new factory and is working now."

"No need to chat, no need to chat." Su De waved his hands frantically again, it was really hard to bear the enthusiasm of his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Wang frowned, the point was not to chat, but her son joined the factory!

Not a temporary worker like before, but a formal worker with a stable job!

Unfortunately, Su De couldn't grasp the point at all, and now he just wanted to listen to his mother's previous instructions, put down the things and run quickly.

Su Lin was amused and cooperated: "Brother-in-law joined the new factory? That's a great thing."

Mrs. Wang changed her face instantly and smiled brightly, "That's right, a few days ago, the Tin Toy Factory recruited workers, but you couldn't get in even if you had connections, and you had to take an exam. Your sister-in-law is smart, she passed the exam and got in, and now she is a formal worker in the Tin Toy Factory."

Tin Toy Factory?

Speaking of this, the first thing that came to Su Lin's mind was the tin frog.

The green and patterned tin frog with a clockwork spring could flutter on the ground for a long time after the spring was tightened. It was one of the most popular toys of that era.
