Chapter 100 Work
Everyone ate a full belly, Bai Ruyun did as usual, after a while of sewing, everyone went to bed early.
Because he had to go to work the next day, he consciously went to sleep. Even Bai Ruchuan, who was the most noisy, didn't make a fuss, and obediently went into bed to sleep.
Early the next morning, Bai Ruxue woke up and went to cook rice, then fried eggs with oil in a hot pan, fried a pot of fried rice with eggs, and heated up the unfinished dishes last night. The five siblings added Wang Cuihua finished her meal early.
"Mom, lock the door when we're all off work, don't let the milk in! She might come over while we're not at home!" Bai Ruxia reminded her mother.
"Don't worry, I put away all the things in the house, so what if she comes in?" Bai Ruxue smiled and looked at the vigilant Bai Ruxia. She had already put all the rare things and food in the house into the space, anyway. Her mother saw that the two children didn't have time to cook for them, so she cooked it herself when they came back at noon.
Besides, every family eats two meals at this time, so she prepared snacks for her younger brothers and sisters, and secretly let them eat some when they were hungry after work.
"The eldest sister is still amazing!" Bai Rushan looked at his third sister and praised her.
"Let's go, let's go! I'll be late!" Bai Ruchuan was a little excited, because this was the first time he went to work after the Chinese New Year, and he missed many of his friends.
"Put on more! It's still cold outside!" Wang Cuihua shouted from behind.
The excited ones had long since disappeared.
"Mom, don't worry! I'm watching them! I left you twisted doughnuts in the kang cabinet, you remember to eat at noon! Let's go!" Bai Ruxue finally said to Wang Cuihua and left.
When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, many people had already arrived, chatting in teams of twos and threes.
Every day when they go to work, they have to go to the brigade headquarters to pick up tools, take roll calls, and arrange work. The people who came today are even more complete. They are all happy that the brigade can work so early, except for Bai Ruxue.
Because going to work means having a centimeter, and having a centimeter means having food, and they will not be full of water every day.
After the new year, although there is relief food to support them, many people still can't eat enough, so they save food, and every meal is a thin and muddy porridge. That is corn flour paste, also called muddy porridge.
"Xiaoxue, here, here!" Bai Ruxue had just arrived, and the little ones had already found their playmates. She was looking around, and Wang Xuehua called her. Three are best girlfriends.
"Here we come!" Bai Ruxue walked towards them, but just as she was approaching them, Zhao Hongmei appeared beside her and blocked her way.
"What's the matter?" Bai Ruxue asked coolly.
"Comrade Bai Ruxue, do you know that Comrade Zhang Yuan has returned to the capital?" Zhao Hongmei asked loudly.
Bai Ruxue didn't answer her, just stared at her, waiting for her next words.
Zhao Hongmei knew that she wouldn't answer her, so she simply continued, "I said a long time ago that I won't want you, a country bumpkin. They have a lot of money. What are bicycles, sewing machines and watches? They're just playing with you poor ghosts. See, They went back to the capital to get married and left you behind!" Zhao Hongmei said proudly, as if Zhang Yuan was going to marry her.
marry? How did she know? Or are you making it up? Zhang Yuan never told himself that he returned to Kyoto because of this incident!
"Heh... You are a little too strict! An educated young man, talking nonsense in public like this, making up nonsense, what is your quality?" Bai Ruxue replied flatly.
"Who said I made it up? That's what was written in Zhang Yuan's letter. At that time, he saw that we were all there, and Li Jianshe said that he was going to get married!" Zhao Hongmei yelled out loudly, and searched everywhere. Li Jianshe came to testify to her.
"Zhao Hongmei, you mean that little educated youth Zhang Yuan left Bai Ruxue to get married?" Qian Tiegang from Bai Ruxue's west courtyard next to him asked without hesitation.
"Yes! That's it!" Zhao Hongmei nodded.
Qian Tiegang belongs to Bai Ruxue's west courtyard. He is 20 years old. He is usually idle and can't earn a few centimeters even if he goes to work. He has no date so far.
I usually have some thoughts about Bai Ruxue. Bai Ruxue worked at home all day on the day of her engagement. His parents had a festive relationship with Bai Daliang and his wife, so they locked their only son at home and did not let him out.
Afterwards, Qian Tiegang would sneak up on the wall to peek from time to time, but Bai Ruxue didn't spend much time at home, and Zhang Yuan came over three times a day, so he couldn't even find a chance to talk.
"This bastard, he dared to throw his engagement object down to get married, it's too much!" Qian Tiegang cursed, but he was very happy. If Zhang Yuan's little educated youth left, would he have a chance? He also didn't care that Bai Ruxue was engaged to someone.
Qian Tiegang talked to himself, and no one really paid attention to him.
"Zhao Hongmei, you have to be careful with your mouth! Zhang Yuan just went back to the capital to see his grandparents! Don't think people are as dirty as you!" Bai Ruxue said with a mocking face, and ignored Zhao Hongmei again. At this time, Wang Xuehua and An Liangliang also came over.
"That's right, I don't look at my own honor, Xiao thinks that others are not good enough, and now you are spreading rumors, who gave you the courage?" Wang Xuehua also stood in front of Bai Ruxue with a protective look.
"Li Jianshe, come here!" Zhao Hongmei was ashamed of being told, and when she found Li Jianshe in the crowd, she hurriedly called out.
There are so many people going out to work, they are all gathered here to watch the fun, Bai Ruxue doesn't care, but Zhao Hongmei cares about face.
Li Jianshe didn't seem to hear it, and was still chatting with the other two educated youths. Now Zhao Hongmei became anxious and ran towards Li Jianshe.
"Li Jianshe, didn't you hear when I called you?" She shouted hoarsely, and she was almost out of breath being watched by the people around here.
"I heard it!" Li Jianshe had heard the movement here early in the morning, and seeing that Comrade Bai Ruxue didn't believe Zhao Hongmei's words, he didn't bother to care.
"Why didn't you go there when I heard that?" Zhao Hongmei now only had to lose her temper with Li Jianshe.
She thought that Li Jianshe, who is usually friendly to everyone and has a cheerful and lively personality, would not let her down.
Unexpectedly, "Why should I listen to you?" Li Jianshe said lightly, and the people around him laughed.
Zhao Hongmei was already crying out of anger, she gritted her teeth and asked Li Jianshe:
"Li Jianshe, you said that when Zhang Yuan read the letter that day, did you say that he was going back to Kyoto to get married?"
Zhao Hongmei was in such embarrassment that Liu Lili, who was usually close to her, also hid aside and dared not come over.
"Comrade Zhao Hongmei! Don't talk nonsense! I was just joking with Comrade Zhang Yuan! We are good buddies, I made a joke with him, what are you talking about? Besides, I didn't see Zhang Yuan's letter! "Li Jianshe said this, and finally looked at Bai Ruxue, obviously explaining to her.
Bai Ruxue never believed Zhao Hongmei's words from the beginning to the end, so her expression was calm. Even Zhao Hongmei's eagerness to perform was just a clown in her eyes, and she didn't care at all and didn't bother to watch.
Babies, Piaopiao!
