Rebirth Wife of the 70's

 

Chapter 007

 

 This poor Young man seemed to be in disbelief, his lips squirmed for a moment, and then his dark eyes showed a trace of gratitude.

 He jumped up and said, "Oh, thank you very much, Comrade!"

"How much do you want, I will help you choose the bigger one! " 

The name "big sister" changed to a respectful name of "you", without a trace. 

Obstructing, Ye Qingshui was a little bit dumbfounded.

The price of eggs is not expensive, one per cent. Ye Qingshui took out 30 cents and added a half-and-a-half food stamp to buy a small half basket. She wrapped the delicate eggs with the cotton cloth that contained the buns.

Eggs are a very expensive supplement these days. Whether it is a confinement woman or a sick elderly child, they all dream of drinking a bowl of sweetened eggs. 

However, due to the planned economy, it is stipulated that each family can only raise three chickens at most. 

Raising more chickens will cut the tail of socialism. Holding more than thirty eggs, Ye Qingshui felt a sense of fulfillment and abundance that he had never had before.

With eggs, she can make some nutritious pastries.

Ye Qingshui closed the stall, looked at the sun, it was still early, and she was holding the warm banknotes in her pocket, planning to go to the store to replenish food. 

It was too early, and the people who lined up early in the town looked sleepy, and had no time to stare at her black face.

When it was almost Ye Qingshui's turn to buy sweets, she found Zhang Yuanchao Zhang Xiaojun sitting next to the salesperson with Erlang's legs up and "inspecting the work".

Suddenly the monkey looked up and saw Ye Qingshui's messy face, the tea in his mouth almost didn't come out.

 Ye Qingshui frowned slightly when she realized that he had recognized her. She remembered that the circle of brothers and friends around Xie Tingyu was not very kind to her, and if they were to be prejudiced against her in normal times, Ye Qingshui didn't care. 

But when she came out to speculate, she would meet acquaintances, which was not what Ye Qingshui wanted.

Before Young Master Zhang could speak, Ye Qingshui reluctantly took out a leftover bun from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, saying enthusiastically,

 "Ahh...... long time no see comrade zhang, it’s so weird. I want to talk to you, but there are still many people lined up behind me. It's not easy to catch the old days with you."

 Zhang Yuanchao's mouth squirmed for a moment, and finally said nothing, just staring at her suspiciously. After taking a few more glances, he looked away disgustingly.

The girl in this village stunned herself every time. It's hard because Brother Yu has to face such a wife every day.

"Two catties of noodles, five taels of sugar, three taels of oil, two taels of meat, thank you Comrade!" Ye Qingshui said crisply.

 She bought grain and oil and quickly evacuated the goods. And she rode the foreign car, 

Ye Qingshui's stomach was hungry all night and made a grunting sound. She rubbed her belly and hurried back home, enduring her hunger.

 In the store, Zhang Yuanchao grabbed the remaining hot buns in his hands, and thought with a hum: It must not be corroded by the enemy's sugar-coated shells.

 How can a little favor, Xiaohui, buy his golden and firm heart? But he had to take a look, what kind of buns the village girl gave him. It doesn't seem to be good to waste food. 

So... he decided to reluctantly eat the sugar-coated cannonballs sent by the enemy.

 Then, he unpacked the paper and took a deep breath.

 The sweetness of the bun’s sweet bean flavor grabbed him, and another bite, the soft and sweet taste of quicksand overflowed gently, like the rain soothing the long-dried desert, the tip of the tongue that has never tasted delicious seems to have been soothed, this is A feeling he have ever felt before.

  In the end, the customers who were hungry in line to buy food stared at Zhang Yuanchao with coveting expressions, watching his contentment and joyful process of nibbling on buns.

   I'm so angry, but I can't say anything!

.....

 When Ye Qingshui hurried home, the sun lit up in gray sky.

The members of the commune did not work because it was a farm rest day. So these educated youths from the city don't have to get up so early. 

When Ye Qingshui cleaned his face and tiptoed into the bed, Xie Tingyu hadn't woken up yet.

 She glanced at Xie Tingyu, the hair on the head of the sleeping man was slightly curled up, a little dazed, and the seriousness of the day was gone. In the hazy morning light, his face seemed to have been favored by God. 

He had been exposed for a summer, and it was still whiter and more delicate than a woman. Ye Qingshui couldn't help but envy when she saw her sunburned cheek in the mirror.

  Ye Qingshui fell asleep until lunch. After washing up, she cooked lunch with her hands and feet quickly, and then she had no time to count the money she had earned.

It took two cents to buy flour. The oil, sugar and meat add up to 50 cents. Adding 30 cents of eggs, the money is almost the same. There are nine cents left in her hand. She remembered the snow cream that Xie Tingyu gave away. It was worth a dollar, and she did a whole night of hard work, only in exchange for these grains and oils. She couldn't help sighing from the poor.

  However, these grain, oil and meat notes, as well as various miscellaneous notes, are quite plentiful. This made Ye Qingshui a little relieved.

 These days, the bills used by the people in the city are worth more than money! In rural areas, these meat tickets are not issued, only the pigs are killed at the end of the year, and each household is divided into ten catties of pork for the taste.

    As a rural person, Ye Qingshui's ability to afford meat is already a great improvement.

    Ye Qingshui energized 120 %, and took care of this cherished two or two pieces of meat. In order to make the meat taste rich and taste good value for money, she cut the meat into shreds, then chopped it, wrapped it with mushrooms and taro, and stuffed it into the mountain mushrooms with the stalk removed. . Take a bite, splash a mouthful of rich gravy, and taste richer.

  It was not too late for her to line up. Maybe the salesperson at the store thought that she and Young Master Zhang had a close relationship, and the meat that was cut to her was a little bit more fat than lean, which was greasy and satisfying.

    Ye Qingshui finished the meal, and when she returned home after finishing the firewood, Ye's mother habitually praised: "Shui'er... the buns this morning are so delicious. mother didn't wake you up because you were exhausted,  I kept one for you while warming it in the pot. Have you eaten it?"

    "Your father and I were so noisy when we first got married. You young people have good physical strength, eat more, and give birth to a fat kid sooner. "

    She pursed her lips and laughed teasingly, and Ye Qingshui realized what Aniang seemed to have misunderstood?

    Seeing A Niang who was so expecting, Ye Qingshui couldn't bear to break her fantasy.

    In 1977, a large number of educated youth associations were sent back to the city, and the country ushered in the second wave of divorce in decades.

 The married educated youths in the village have left several pairs. It was easier for Ye Qingshui to explain at that time. 

So she plans to wait until next year to tell them about the divorce. In the days to come, She will slowly pave the way for the trivial matters of the two people's strange appearance, and wait for the next year to move forward.

    "Aniang smells, um...it's so fragrant, Shui'er, what have you done? Hurry up and call Xiao Xie back. I just seemed to see him go to an educated youth to give a lecture."

    Ye Qingshui was indifferent in order to prevent Aniang from making any more thoughts. Said: "He will come back for dinner by himself."

    Aniang said, "You are still reserved, Shuiya, A-niang won't make fun of you anymore."

    "If you don't go to A-niang, will have to go personally--"

    Ye Qingshui dry her hands and set off on the way to the educated youth point.

    The educated youth spot of Hongqi Commune is located at the foot of Xiufeng Mountain. It was the only house built of blue tiles in the village, and the walls were painted white. In the past few years, the educated youth from all over the country have indeed made contributions to the commune.

    After some educated youths came to jump in, they became teachers in the commune elementary school, worked as an accountant for the production team, and some familiar with machinery became tractor drivers in the commune.

 However, after there were more educated youths, gradually, the reputation of educated youths was not as great as before. 

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, and the country folks began to bury the educated youth who are lazy and dragging their legs.

  But Xie Tingyu is definitely an exception. He is almost a "decathlon" in the eyes of the brigade, and they can't replace him if he were missing.

So, when Ye Qingshui reached the educated youth spots, she heard Xie Tingyu's mellow and deep voice..   

 He was holding a yellowed book in his hand, standing straight up, studying meticulously. From his side, the educated youth sat in a circle, sitting on the inside three floors and outside three floors.

    He read: "A person's life should be spent like this: When he looks back on the past, he will not regret the wasting of his years, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction; in this way, when he is dying, he You can say:"

    He paused for a while, raised his head, and looked at the dark head below, his eyes seemed to see Ye Qingshui.

    He was not too surprised, the sound of reading aloud sounded again, the words were clear, the words were round and the melody was extremely beautiful.

    He said: "'My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind.'"

 On a bright sunny day, a breeze was slowly blowing in, Xie Tingyu wore a good shirt. The spine is straight. He is bathed in the eyes of the eager and eager children in the commune, and he also bears the admiration of the educated youth, he seems to shine in the eyes of others.

    This kind of gentle, handsome and rich man is really a harvester for girls' hearts. Ye Qingshui glanced, the young girls looked at Xie Tingyu's eyes like a dog staring at a meat bun.

    Ye Qingshui took a look, and walked out with little interest.

    In this era, knowledge is still very poor, education is very backward, many children can not afford to go to school and rely on weekends to listen to educated youth lectures occasionally.

 And some educated youths who are not well-educated are also willing to absorb knowledge and humbly learn from others.

    Xie Tingyu is a person who has finished high school, knows a lot, and belongs to an outstanding figure. Ye Qingshui recalled that Xie Tingyu was admitted to a key university with a high score.

    Ye Qingshui squatted outside the educated youth spot and counted the birds flying in boredom. In this way, he could hear the sound of the end of Chairman M's quotation from the outside, as well as the applause after the "lecture" ended.

    After class was over, Xie Tingyu walked out first and raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

    Ye Qingshui shrugged, "A-niang asked me to call you home for dinner." The educated youths do not dislike it. When the matter was serious, they came over here one after another.

    Some female educated youth glanced at Ye Qingshui before paying attention to her specifically. Seeing that she had come, she walked out without a few words.

    The female educated youth is still a little funny, Ye Qingshui's appearance of waiting at the door waiting for a man so stupidly is no different from an iignorant woman in the country. They couldn't help but feel sorry for Xie Tingyu..

    Some of them complained about what Sun Lingyu was being taught, and they murmured: "After all, she have never studied, and have no experience. Comrade Xie talk so well just now. I guessed that she didn't even hear a word. Counting the ants here!"

    "Ye Qingshui, you and Xie Tingyu  have been married for so long, did Xie Tingyu literate you? One is full of cultural knowledge, the other is illiterate, this is not good. Xie Tingyu is so good, you look back You should ask him more humbly to make up for your shortcomings."

    "Let's go, let's go, you talk too much! The food in the cafeteria can't stop your mouth!" Sun Lingyu pulled back the girlfriend who was making trouble for her, and at the same time rushed to Ye Qing Shui cast a disdainful look.

    Ye Qingshui couldn't be more familiar with this kind of gaze that rushed from all directions to watch the bustle and the country people like a tide. Her eyes became sharp and she looked at the group of female educated youths.

    Ye Qingshui touched her ears, shook her head and said, "What are you going to do, please stay slow. Speaking ill of people in front of you, Think I have no temper, right? Why have I never read? I have graduated from elementary school anyway. . "

 soon she drew a burst of laughter. What kind of capital to show off after graduating from elementary school?

Ye Qingshui smiled as if she didn't care, she continued: "These three sentences erased my five years of hard work. This is not good."

    She said solemnly: "I didn't read so many books. First, Because my family is poor and I can't continue reading. Secondly-because I have a good mind, I don't need to waste so much time studying. In fact, I already have a college education."

    Her words caused a burst of laughter.

    "You don't think I'm talking big, don't you believe it?"

    She said a string of words with a snapping tone: 

"The magnificent and magnificent man-like profession who is freed from fighting has already been able to make peace with everybody. I said it was enough to give birth to his death."

    The female educated youth who had just burst into laughter was at a loss after reading, what and what?

    Ye Qingshui then snorted softly:

    "I said that your brains are not as fast as I am, and you still don't believe it. It's useless to squat by Xie Tingyu and listen to him studying every day. The reverse of this sentence is--"

    "My The whole life and all the energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind! The frog at the bottom of the well, Yelang is arrogant, fortunately to listen carefully to one or two just now, it is ridiculous!"

    She shouted again. "Xie Tingyu, go home for dinner!"

    Xie Tingyu, who was called, was almost choked.

    But having said that, he was hungry when the meal time arrived. Xie Tingyu thought of the meal at home and couldn't help but look forward to it.

    He cooperated slightly, "Come here."

    Ye Qingshui ignored the group of educated youths who hadn't slowed down behind him. They completely exploded the pot:

    "Wait, what did Ye Qingshui just say? Is it really upside-down? Isn't she... silly?"

    Another educated youth said dumbfoundedly: "Speaking too fast, I too  didn't remember."

    "Brother Yu has a good memory, I guess he can remember it. Ask him  later ?"

  

  The author has something to say:

    The book that Brother Yu read comes from "How Steel Is Made"

Shui Ya'er: I really am a university culture,  believe it or not?  Brush up the letter, hurry up
