On this day, the village was very quiet. Xue Chuan was the only one who joined the army in Hedong Village.
According to the villagers, if the number of people joining the army this time is not enough, the upper authorities will let the common people do military service and choose men from every family to fight.
War is always forged with countless blood. Thinking of Xue Chuan's death, Zhang Man'er feels that she can't calm down. In order to avoid this kind of wishful thinking, she has been looking for something to do, paralyzing herself with busyness, and will forget her missing for a while.
But still can't do, do what is absent-minded, cooking millet porridge, the rice will be sprinkled.
When washing clothes, the clothes are about to rub out a hole, can't stop.
Her thoughts still linger on Xue Chuan, wondering if he has met with Lian Tiesheng. They are all big men, and there is no one around to take care of them. Will it be a problem to eat every day?
Zhang Man'er is suffering from her own wishful thinking and headache. She loves Xue Chuan, the resolute man, who has already unconsciously integrated into her blood.
The muddle headed day finally passed. Zhang Man'er didn't know how to spend the day from sunrise to dusk.
After eating and washing up early, Zhang Man'er got on the Kang, wrapped his quilt tightly, and stared at the curtain on the bed.
This is the first night Xue Chuan left. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Since they got married, they have been together for more than half a year, almost every day. Even if they were separated, they would only be together for five days.
She has long been used to having Xue Chuan by her side. She was confused and worried when Xue Chuan was not around those days.
This time, I feel even worse. This is the first day of separation? How to live in the long days to come?
It will take at least one year to join the army, but it will take three or five years. Just thinking about this time, people can't bear it for a moment.
Thinking about it, Zhang Man'er thought about the pain in his head, and unconsciously fell asleep.
The next day, just after dawn, Zhang Man'er woke up early.
In the past, when it was cold, she would not wake up so early. She would always lie on the Kang for a while, and then for a while.
Xue Chuan, who always gets up early, will go hunting in the mountains, but Zhang Man'er will always pester him and ask him to sleep a little longer. If he pesters them, they will do shameful things.
With Xue Chuan, she can stay on till she gets better.
Nowadays, Zhang Man'er doesn't want to stay in this cold quilt for a moment. He puts on his clothes, gets up early, folds up the bedding, washes the dirty clothes that he changed and washed yesterday, and puts them on the bamboo pole in the yard, and cleans the house inside and outside.
When the work at home is finished, the sky is bright. A red sun is rising from the mountain, shining on the quiet village.
Simply cooked a little lean porridge, Zhang Man'er used breakfast, went to the workshop to help grind rouge.
She can't stop. She has to find something to do. When she stops missing, she is entangled with algae, making her unable to breathe.
The first 21 days of separation is the most difficult. After spending this time, my heart can slowly return to normal bit by bit.
Zhang Man'er usually works as a master, and is not the material to do these fine jobs. He sits all morning grinding Rouge powder.
The waist seemed to be broken, and she couldn't stand up straight, but she had to hold on. She had to work like these aunts.
After lunch, she was the first one to go to the workshop and continue to grind Rouge in the morning. Then she continued to make clam oil.
That moment does not stop appearance, let Yang Kexin all see a Leng a Leng.
After Yang Kexin was pregnant, he almost didn't do anything in the workshop. Most of them supervised the village women and occasionally helped them to do some easy work.
Looking at Zhang Man'er's busy spinning around with the top these two days, my heart is very complicated.
Third brother went to join the army. She is the only one in the family. She must be very lonely.
In the dead of night, when a person can't sleep, he will always think about things. He will know that her skin is not as tender as before, and there is a layer of dark circles under her eyes.
If you can't sleep well at night and still work like this during the day, it won't take long for you to be tired out.
"Third sister-in-law, you can have a rest. As an owner, how can you work as hard as a man?" Yang Kexin's starting point is to care about her, constantly reading in her ears.
But let Zhang man son listen to want to hide, see Zhang Dahai lift things to the ox cart, is preparing to drive the ox cart to town.
Zhang Man'er wants to take a look around the town and see the familiar streets. She is afraid that she will stay in the workshop all day long. These village women will ask more questions about Xue Chuan because of their concern. Zhang Man'er is afraid that tears will flow down.
Count the time. I haven't been to the shop in the town for more than half a month.
"Wait a minute, brother. I'll change my clothes and go to town with you." Zhang Man'er called to stop Zhang Dahai, and the latter answered cheerfully.
Since his younger sister is going, he will change the carriage. Anyway, there is not much goods on the carriage. The carriage can hold it. It's cold in this day. The mountain wind is like a knife cutting on his face. His skin is thick and his meat is coarse, but Zhang Man'er's skin is tender and he can't stand it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dahai changed all the baskets on the ox cart into the carriage.
Zhang Man'er changed his clothes and simply dressed up. Unlike in the village, he always went to the town and simply cleaned up.
"Brother, why did you change the carriage?" As soon as she came, Zhang Dahai came down with a stool and helped her into the carriage.
Seeing that there was not much in the carriage, she seemed to know the answer.
"I'm not afraid you're frozen. Now Xue Chuan has gone to join the army, and his brother will take care of you." When Zhang Dahai said this, he kept sighing.
This silly sister, now lost soul general, looking at let people worry, before with her thousands of exhortations, don't let Xue Chuan to join the army.
Well, there's no man at home. How can you rest assured when you see her out of her mind?
"Thank you, brother. I'm fine. I'm fine." Zhang Man'er smiles reluctantly. After putting down the car curtain, he leans in the car in a daze.
Is she acting so loveless? Everyone looked at her with that kind of caring eyes.
After this episode, the carriage wandered for half an hour and arrived at Qingshui Town, stopping at the shop gate of Meili square.
Zhang Man'er lifted the curtain of the car, stepped on the stool and got out of the car. He looked at the shop, which was cold and quiet. He didn't even have a guest. It was different from the old house.
The weather is getting cold, girls do not like to apply Rouge powder, but this person who buys clams oil and lipstick should increase and will be full.
But in this empty shop, only five clerks stick to their posts, which makes people feel strange.
