Chapter 18: out of gregarious
Chapter 18 Misfits
"It's not that I didn't mention it, why did I mention it again!" Gu Yuan was impatient, but he didn't dare to get angry.
Gu Linjun next to him was already tired and fell asleep, so Li Mei had no worries.
She lowered her voice and pointed at the other party and said: "Let me tell you, Gu Yuan, you promised me back then, you divorced after two years of marriage, and now it's been a few years, you're talking fart!"
"My natal family even said to pay part of the money, and if your Gu family gets some money, we can build a house. Where can you find such a good thing?"
"It's really as if our Li family has money and nowhere to spend it! I think you are also a deadhead!"
The Li family’s family conditions are very good, the family has a lot of labor, and they are carpenters and bricklayers, so they must make more money than ordinary team members.
Li Mei is the only girl in the family, so all the brothers treat her well.
Hearing these words, Gu Yuan lowered his head in silence. In fact, he also knew that this was a good thing. How could the father-in-law get money for helping his son-in-law build a house?
Although they didn’t take all of it, they still got a lot of it. At least their family didn’t save much money now.
But when he thought that he was the son of Gu's eldest son, he couldn't say anything about agreeing.
If you agree to this, you can't let people point your spine and scold you when you go out in the future?
The second younger brother didn’t get married, so he couldn’t agree to split the family no matter what.
"Meizi, I'm the eldest in the family, so just pretend I don't know how to flatter you. This matter can't be discussed until the second brother gets married, otherwise I can't agree to split the family." His tone was firm and unquestionable.
Seeing what he said, Li Mei was furious, this is a dead brain!
But the second brother really can't separate the family if he doesn't get married. Thinking of this, she didn't mention it anymore, and her face was not good-looking.
They didn't hear the quarrel on one side and the other side at all, because they lowered their voices, and Li Mei didn't think about tearing up their faces now, so naturally they had to be cautious.
the next morning.
Shen Man got up to heat up the kang, and it was already very cold in the second half of the night, so there was nothing he could do about it, the weather in Northeast China was like this.
After the stove was fired up, she turned her head and went out to fetch water. There was a well in the yard, and now it was covered with a well cover, so she was afraid of being frozen.
Although the well is deep, it will freeze regardless of it.
Just as she was walking back with water, Li Tianbao suddenly came out of the room, and the two met face to face.
Seeing this, Shen Man took a deep look at him, without any expression of fear, turned around and went back to the house with water.
Looking at the leaving back, Li Tianbao was a little curious. It stands to reason that after what happened last night, ordinary people would definitely be afraid, but this person is obviously not.
Even if you are not afraid, you still have to dodge.
In fact, Shen Man still has lingering fears, but he also knows that the more afraid you are, the bolder the gangster will be.
After tidying up, she put on the padded jacket and trousers. Seeing that the padded trousers had a hole, and there was no time to mend it, she put on a pair of loose black trousers, then put on a scarf and went out with a satchel on her back.
It's windy outside, but it doesn't snow anymore, but it's still gloomy.
"Why are you going?" Wang Yue couldn't help asking when she saw her going out when she came out.
Hearing this, Shen Man didn't turn his head back, "Go to town!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the village. At this time, several people were already sitting on the tractor.
A familiar figure waved to her, and Shen Man hurried over.
"Sister Man, why did you come so late, there is no room for a while." Gu Nan said while handing her a small horse.
After the two of them sat down, everyone else in the car was asking about Gu Nan and Shen Man.
The person involved is sitting next to him, but asks other people?
Shen Man smiled and greeted them. They are all women, so they are all cheerful.
Especially seeing that she doesn't have the arrogant look of other educated youths, I prefer to chat with her.
Soon, a few more people came up one after another, and the carriage was full at once.
"Oh, wait for us!" Wang Yue and Qiao Xin chased the tractor that was about to start, and then they were about to get in the car.
"There's no room, where do you sit?" The man driving the car drove away without stopping.
"Hey?" Wang Yue watched the car go away in surprise, and quickly shouted, "Why don't you pull us? Squeeze won't work."
But the car was getting farther and farther away, and no one could hear what she said.
Qiao Xin was also choked with anger, "Who is it? He knew he had a car to go to town today, but he didn't tell us!"
Compared to the tractor not waiting for them, she was more angry that Shen Man didn't tell them.
Everyone is an educated youth, so it’s fine if they don’t fit in every day, and they still hang out with these peasants.
Wang Yue next to him also felt that this made sense, "There is really something wrong with Shen Man, why didn't he tell us about going to town?"
The two returned to the collective household angrily, and entered the collective resting and eating place, where everyone was chatting and reading.
"Why are you back? Didn't you go to the town?" Xu Jie asked curiously.
It's okay if you don't say this, but once you say it, it makes the two of them angry.
Qiao Xin threw the satchel on the table and said angrily, "What are you going to do? We've already left the car!"
"Who is it? You know you have a car going to town today, but you don't tell anyone."
She sat on the stool, feeling more and more dissatisfied with Shen Man.
Wang Yue next to her also echoed: "That's right, they are all educated youths who went to the countryside. It's fine that she doesn't fit in with us, and she hangs out with those rural mud legs."
"Really undercut the educated youth!"
These words really reached everyone's heart. Although everyone's household registration is now in the Shangjiang brigade, they came from the city and will go back to the city in the future.
Even if this return to the city is far away, it cannot be degenerated.
The others didn't say anything, they were all in a daze or reading. It's one thing to agree in your heart, it's another thing to say it or not.
As for Shen Man, she doesn't care what other people think. She accumulated a small amount of wealth in her previous life but didn't enjoy it. Finally, she had a chance to start over, so she didn't live based on people's faces.
Sitting on the tractor, the cold wind blows, everyone lowers their heads to avoid blinding their eyes.
Gu Nan on the side said loudly: "Sister Man, you will go shopping when you get to the place in a while, I have to send cotton trousers to my second brother."
Gu Chen rode away early this morning, and Li Jinhua didn't bring the cotton trousers he prepared, so he just gave them away when he came here.
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded to indicate that he understood, and then continued to lower his head to avoid the wind.
The car finally arrived, and everyone got out of the car one by one.
The tractor driver got out of the car and said, "I'll be waiting here at ten o'clock. Hurry up and buy what you want."
Everyone else knew about it, so they didn't say anything.
After Shen Man got off the car, he said a few words to Gu Nan, and watched her go to deliver the cotton trousers.
Looking at the town which is similar to Xiajiang Brigade, she felt that this place is really poor.
Not far away are supply and marketing cooperatives, state-run restaurants, post offices, and grain stores.
These stores are all one-story houses, and there are no two-story houses at all.
There is a factory a little farther away. This town is not as good as the countryside of later generations.
I wish all mothers a happy and healthy Mother's Day!
