Chapter 24： More than enough for Shen Man

Chapter 24 is more than enough for Shen Man

The Shangjiang Brigade got its name because it is close to the river.

However, the river is still some distance away from here. It looks very close from the mountain, and it is actually ten miles away.

The altitude over there is lower. If you set up a house there, it will be easily washed away when the water rises, so their Shangjiang brigade lives on the mountain, and the fields are all mountainous.

When they heard that the winter catchers were coming, everyone was very happy, even happier than eating pork.

This river fish is different from ordinary fish, it is more delicious and less fishy.

"Captain, you came so early this year." Chen Zhipeng asked.

Zhang Fenghai nodded, "This year is colder than usual, and the river is frozen. People from the commune have come to investigate."

This incident made everyone happy for a long time. When the captain left, Shen Man followed.

It was still snowing outside, so after thinking about it, she locked the door and went directly to Gu's house.

Gu Nan hasn't come to her for the past two days, and the collective household doesn't have much work, so she simply went to have a look.

After arriving at Gu's house, the door was wide open, and the snow in the yard was swept clean.

After entering the room, Li Jinhua opened the door, "Xiaoman is here, is he here to play with Gu Nan?"

She smiled enthusiastically, and then led people into the house.

"Auntie, you didn't go to work?" Shen Man asked as he walked.

Educated youths can choose whether to go to pick up corn grains, but the team must go because they have work points.

Shen Man only found out later that these educated youths stay in winter and work in spring and autumn, so they can eat enough anyway.

"The corn is almost peeled, and I'm waiting now." Li Jinhua replied, and then went into the room and sat on the kang.

Gu Nan got up from the kang, smiled and said, "Sister Man, you are here, I haven't looked for you since I have a stomachache these two days."

As she spoke, she put on a painful expression, and continued to press her belly against the head of the kang, trying to relieve it.

Hearing this, Shen Man remembered something, and asked, "Did you have menstruation?"

Generally, a girl's stomach can hurt for two days, so there is nothing else besides this incident.

"Yes." Gu Nan nodded weakly.

Seeing this, Shen Man took out a glass jar from his satchel, which contained pure cane brown sugar.

The ingredient list only has brown sugar, which is not real brown sugar. It must be sugar cane, which is brown sugar.

"This is for you. It's better to come early than coincidentally. It's really useful." She smiled and put the things on the side of the kang.

Originally, I kept it for myself to drink, but this girl gets along well with me, and there are still a lot in the space, so I took it out to share.

When they saw that it was brown sugar, the two girls widened their eyes.

After all, it was the era of ticket supply, so every household didn't have much sugar.

"This is impossible." Li Jinhua said without greed, "We don't have any good things here, so you should keep the brown sugar. You don't know how long you will stay here in the future, but later you will know how precious this thing is. "

Gu Nan on the side also echoed: "Yes, I appreciate your kindness, Sister Man, we can't take this thing."

That being said, she was very grateful to Shen Man in her heart, and she really felt that she had made a good friend.

Seeing that they were so polite, Shen Man smiled, "You are welcome, the family can send me things, I still have these things, enough."

After some refusals, Gu Nan embarrassedly hugged the glass jar.

At this moment, Li Mei also heard the movement, and when she came to see the brown sugar, her eyes lit up.

Although her natal family lives in a well-to-do life, it is not comparable to that of the people in the countryside, not the city.

Let’s just talk about brown sugar, their family doesn’t have much, so if it’s distributed to her, a little in a month or two will be fine.

"Hey, Xiaoman is here." She walked over with a smile and said, "Should we have lunch here?"

Brother-in-law Li Jinhua saw her like this and felt something was wrong. Li Mei's personality is not a good one, and the food at home can still be eaten by ordinary people?

The sun really came out from the west.

Shen Man still didn't want to eat, because everyone's food is rationed, so he went back after a few polite words.

Seeing the person leave, Li Mei sighed, thinking about getting closer.

"Li Mei, don't you want to introduce Xiaoman to your brother's child?" Li Jinhua looked at her and asked what was in her heart.

There are several brothers in Li Mei's natal family, the eldest grandson is married, and there are two boys who are just getting married, so it's no wonder she asked.

As for this daughter-in-law, she thinks she knows very well, but she is a person who is not profitable.

Hearing this, Li Mei waved her hand directly. Although Shen Man is good, the family will not find an educated youth daughter-in-law.

She replied: "Mom, didn't I think Xiaoman is very good, handsome, can he still endure hardship? I just thought that Gu Chen didn't have a date yet."

"Although my brother is unwilling to talk and doesn't know how to play tricks, it is more than enough for Shen Man."

Based on the previous situation, Gu Chen was the first choice for girls from all over the world, but it would be unlucky for a girl to go on a blind date, so that's the only thing left.

Li Jinhua was a little moved when she heard this. Li Mei mentioned it that day, but she didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it, it's quite appropriate. Nan Nan also said that Shen Man was isolated by the educated youth, so wouldn't it be good to get married?

Gu Nan on the side saw his mother hesitate, and immediately said: "Mom, Sister Man is so kind to me, you can't push people into the fire pit!"

"Fuck you, uncle!" Li Jinhua patted his daughter on the back directly, "Whose house is a pit of fire? You're not from the old Gu's family when you talk about feelings like that!"

This child, it is not for nothing to say that she is a tiger.

Besides, Gu Chen is her own brother, and she actually said that about her brother.

Gu Nan pursed his lips in grievance, "Second brother is indeed very good, but Ke..."

"Fuck that!" Li Jinhua gave her another slap, "You just say what others say? Why don't you have any brains! Don't make trouble here!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored the two of them and turned around to go out.

Gu Nan was the most wronged, she got hit twice for no reason, she was wrong to tell the truth.

Li Mei next to her felt that the sister-in-law really did not distinguish between distance and nearness, so she sighed and said, "Nan Nan, it's not certain that my second brother will be in love with you, you worry too much."

"Besides, you are good to that Shen Man. If she becomes your second sister-in-law, wouldn't that make you more intimate? Silly child."

Hearing this, Gu Nan thought that she was not stupid.

Second brother is indeed a bit evil, but she didn't say it this time, and she got down depressed and continued to warm her stomach.

Shen Man didn't know that after she left, Gu Nan was beaten because of her.

Back to collective households, no one is in the main room. Isn’t it time to cook and eat?

Taking a glance, she found that every room was locked. Did she go out?

She didn't think much, turned around and opened the door to enter the room, and then carefully locked the door, in case that Li Tianbao took advantage of his absence, killed his carbine again, and wanted to do something, then he had to take precautions.
