Chapter 72: What is left behind (ask for a monthly ticket)

What is left behind in Chapter 72 (ask for a monthly pass)

"Xiaoman is here!" Li Jinhua saw the two of them entering the courtyard, and greeted her to enter the room.

The two large pots in the kitchen were covered with lids, and the room was filled with a strong smell of meat.

Shen Man, who had eaten bacon at noon, was drooling in vain. It was so delicious.

How can cooking in a small pot be as fragrant as in a big pot? They don’t taste the same at all.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Man saw the team leader Zhang Fenghai sitting on the edge of the kang talking to Gu Dacheng.

"Captain, Uncle Gu." She greeted each of them.

"Comrade Xiao Shen is here, sit down." Zhang Fenghai smiled and nodded.

Things went well today, in fact, I called Zhang Fenghai before Gu Chen came back.

This matter is neither difficult nor difficult, nor is it easy to say.

But in the end, it's just a matter of his words.

Shen Man has been in the Shangjiang brigade for so long, and he has worked hard without causing trouble, so he didn't stop him, and he did it directly.

Gu Chen handed over the cigarette, and the three of them started chatting.

Shen Man found that although Gu Chen smoked but did not smoke, it can be seen that he is a social person.

After all, they are away from home. This is the kind of thing between men. It is faster to inquire about news and get in love.

And she does not reject these.

Listening to them chatting, the time passed quickly, and the meal was ready after a while.

Li Mei went into the room and put tables, one table on the kang and another table on the floor, there were too many people to sit down.

On the kang, Gu Dacheng drank with Zhang Fenghai, and Gu Chen was also there.

He beckoned for Shen Man to come too, but Shen Man shook his head and refused.

She doesn't drink, so what is she doing at that table?

Seeing that she wasn't coming, Gu Chen didn't say anything, poured wine for the two of them and started eating.

Li Jinhua stewed shredded pork and beans, which is especially delicious after a long stew.

There is also a fresh fish, which I specially asked someone to buy today.

In addition to these two dishes, there are also dumplings, pork and radish. There are not many dishes in the countryside at this time.

The vegetables that cannot be eaten are all rotten, or they are finished, and they are waiting for the spring to grow vegetables.

"Eat more, there are dumplings in the outhouse." Seeing that she didn't eat much, Li Jinhua poured some on her plate.

Shen Man quickly waved his hand: "No need, I'm full! Auntie, don't bother me, can I still be polite?"

The dumplings are really delicious, but she really can't eat them anymore. Since I went to the countryside, I have gained more than ten catties this winter, and now I weigh ninety-five catties.

In fact, my current weight is just right, and I can get a little fatter. I am afraid that I will be lazy. When the weight comes up, I won’t like to move.

In fact, part of the reason why fat people are lazy is that they don’t want to move because they have a lot of flesh on their bodies and their belts are very heavy.

Shen Man is also afraid that he will become lazy when he is heavy, so just eat enough now and don't eat too much.

Everyone ate happily, and when it was getting dark, the men were almost done drinking.

Gu Chen walked to the side, looked at Li Jinhua and asked, "Mom, how is my elder brother doing at work? Are you still used to it?"

Since the work was arranged, Gu Yuan went to work two days ago, but he never came back. No one knows what happened.

Li Jinhua shook his head and said: "He didn't have a letter either. Let's go to him tomorrow and have a look. No matter what, send a letter to the family."

This letter is not a letter, but a message from someone I know.

After all, it’s so close, so why write a letter? Calling is also a waste of money.

Hearing the words, Gu Chen nodded, "Understood."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Man: "I'll take you back, it's getting late."

Tomorrow, the two will set off. There is indeed a lot of reluctance, but the two can see each other often!

Thinking of these, Gu Chen was very happy, with a smile on his face unconsciously.

Shen Man bid farewell to the members of the Gu family, and then followed them out.

It was just getting dark outside, and there were many people sitting in front of their houses on the street.

It was the same as when they came, many people greeted them.

The people in the brigade are friendly to each other, at least on the surface, even if there is a personal grievance, they will not tear their faces in public.

Whoever has a big or small affair, they will help.

When I left the entrance of the village and approached the collective household, there was no one there.

Gu Chen stopped and said: "I'm leaving tomorrow, you have to get up early in the morning, I'll wait for you at the door of the collective household at five o'clock."

"It's so early?" Shen Man was a little surprised, but he didn't expect to set off at five o'clock.

"Yes." Gu Chen replied: "We arrived at the commune at six o'clock and took the train to the city. I'm afraid it will be afternoon when we get there."

"It's faster to take a bus, but I'm afraid you'll get motion sickness, so it's only an hour faster."

The current road is not smooth, and many people get motion sickness. It is really not good to be so bumpy.

Seeing that he had already made up his mind, Shen Man didn't ask any more questions. The two talked a few more words before returning to the collective household.

Seeing Shen Man go in, Gu Chen walked back.

As soon as the evening wind blew, his alcohol smell dissipated.

I just drank two taels of liquor, which is not too much. I used to work in a forest farm, and I often went out to drink with other people.

But they all have a drink, mainly because they are too tired to relieve fatigue.

Now that he is no longer engaged in labor work, Gu Chen plans to drink less in the future, for fear that Shen Man will not like it.

I don't know when he started, he always thought about whether Shen Man liked it or not.

Would you dislike drinking and smoking?

Back to Gu's house, as soon as Gu Chen entered the door, he saw Li Jinhua playing with the bag he brought home.

This was prepared by Shen Man. There were so many people eating just now, no one mentioned it.

Li Jinhua called him over and said, "Why is there so much to eat? I didn't see you bring it back yesterday?"

Because of returning in a hurry, Gu Chen didn't bring anything, and came back with a satchel on his back.

Hearing the words, Gu Chen explained: "Shen Man brought them. We will leave tomorrow. She said that these things are not needed, so she brought them here."

To be honest, he didn't know what was inside, but when he got closer, he saw those sausages, bacon, and canned food, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

It takes him a lot of effort to get these things, but Shen Man actually has everything.

Li Jinhua stared and was displeased, "It's not easy for a girl to go out, why do you want her things? You just let someone carry you here!"

"Mom, it was my second brother who brought it here. I saw it when I entered the door!" Gu Nan did not forget to fire at the side.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was a little speechless, did you see, this is his sister, dear sister!

"You still brought it here?" Li Jinhua went up and patted him, "Why are you so big? People told you to want it!"

"Mom!" Gu Chen said helplessly: "Anyway, we will enter the city tomorrow, so what will there be in the city then?"

You are right, there are more things in the city than in the countryside. Things that cannot be bought in the commune can be found in the city.

Thinking of this, Li Jinhua sighed, "This kid is sincere, it would be better if he didn't kick you."

In her heart, it was a matter of time before her son was kicked.

Gu Chen had nothing to say, so he couldn't figure it out. Is he so unworthy?

Must be kicked? !

Gu Chen: The world is not worth it!
