Wearing books in the 70s: the delicate educated youth have material space

After having had enough wine and food, Cheng Fu and Liu Minzhi went out for a walk together after not returning to their hometown for a long time. The village had not changed much, just like when he left, but he was no longer young again.

"In the past few years, I have asked you to come to the provincial capital every day but you haven't come. You haven't left even after Uncle Liu and his wife left. What are you thinking about? Do you just want to farm all your life?"

Cheng Fu asked about the doubts he had had over the years.

Liu Minzhi looked at the fields. The crops in the fields had grown so tall that they felt relieved: "Brother Cheng, I'm not suitable for the city."

He himself clearly remembers how capable he is. Once he goes to the provincial capital, he will have to trouble Cheng Fu in everything he does and will become a drag on Cheng Fu. , just like when he was a child, he didn't know how to fight. When he was bullied, he would ask Cheng Fu to help him fight back. He couldn't chew Cheng Fu all his life.

Cheng Fu knew that this kid Liu Minzhi had a hard-nosed mind and a lot of thoughts: "What do you mean you are not suitable for the city? You are worried that you can't do things well and you want my help."

Cheng Fu has known since he was a child that this little brother sometimes thinks too much, "Then you said that Xu Xu is alone in his hometown and eats and sleeps at your house. I am even more troublesome to you."

"You just think too much. You have to be thick-skinned. Look, when have I ever thanked you for keeping Xu Xu in your home for so long? We grew up together. You and I both wear the same pants. As long as you don't If you cause any principled issues, I can help you."

"When you go to the city, I will let you be a temporary worker first, not a regular worker. The transition to a regular worker will all depend on your ability. What are you worrying about?"

Cheng Fu looked back at the stone house in the distance, where were his wife, daughter, and brother's children: "Also, could you please think about this boy Sibo? Xu Xu said that this boy is good at studying, and the education association in the city better one."

Of course Liu Minzhi knows this. He is also happy that his child's grades are good, but the situation in school is not good now. "No matter how good it is, what can we learn now if it is not the same as before?"

Cheng Fu sighed, understanding Liu Minzhi's mood, but disagreeing with his frustration: "If you keep doing this, the family will have no motivation to move forward. The current situation is not good, but Sibo is only a few years old. You Don’t you think he can’t wait until the situation gets better? Learn as much as you can while you’re young now. When you get older, you won’t be able to keep up if you want to learn.”

He patted his good brother on the shoulder and told him to think more. He came back this year not only to see his son-in-law, but also to persuade Liu Minzhi. It happened that Sibo was going to high school next year, and it would be better to go to the provincial capital for development. It's better in the village or town.

In the room, Cheng Xu was picking up the things Cheng's father had brought home, including two cans of malted milk, some sugar, biscuits, and fabrics. She directly asked Aunt Zhou to take half of it away: "Aunt Zhou, don't forget it when you go back in the afternoon. Got the belt."

These things took up the entire table. Zhou Feng was embarrassed to take so much: "Xu Xu, why do you want so much? Just give me some candy."

Cheng Xu pointed at the dark gray cloth: "Aunt Zhou, the color of this cloth shows that it is not for my family. Ask my mother, it looks like it is for Uncle Liu. Is there any other dark blue cloth with this color? As long as Sibo can wear it, two cans of malted milk must be enough for each family."

Cheng Ma indeed bought it for the Liu family: "Xiao Feng, this is for you. You can take it home and don't say anything to outsiders. Yours is a ready-made dress that I bought directly and I put it in my bag."

She took out a floral cotton coat and gave it to Zhou Feng: "The color is very happy, look at how beautiful it is."

Cheng Xu knew her mother's aesthetic taste very well, so she let the yellow-skinned Aunt Zhou wear floral clothes. Her mother was really awesome.

But after her mother finished speaking, she asked her with her eyes, trying to get her consent.

.... What she didn't want to say, "Aunt Zhou, when you wear it during the Chinese New Year, others will look at you with envy."

Zhou Feng herself likes this dress, but she feels embarrassed to wear it in this color: "I am already so old, and wearing this dress will make people laugh, so let's leave it to Xu Xu. She has fair skin and looks good in anything she wears."

Although Cheng Xu thinks it's a bit inappropriate to have yellow skin and floral cloth clothes, she can wear whatever she likes, no matter how old she is: "You can wear your own clothes however you want, we don't care about others."

"You have to make fun of you even though you are wearing clothes. They are just jealous that you have nice clothes to wear, but they can't wear them themselves."

Zhou Feng was no match for Cheng Xu. After collecting the clothes, he stored them carefully, fearing that the new clothes would get dirty.

"Sister, I also want new clothes." Knowing that Aunt Cheng also bought cloth for herself, Sibo leaned her head over to look at the cloth: "Sister, you can make me another winter outfit. I want to wear it." The cotton-padded jacket that cannot be worn is used as a doghouse to attract wealth."

After a few days of getting along, Sibo's love for attracting wealth became deeper and deeper. Every day when he saw the dog waking up in the straw nest at the door, he was always worried that the dog would be frozen.

Cheng Xu put a finger on Sibo's forehead: "Boy, do you want to be beaten?" Can't you wear a torn cotton-padded jacket?Just patch it up, cotton is hard to find in winter, and she doesn't have it in her space.

After Cheng Xu said this, Liu Sibo turned to look at his mother. Sure enough, he saw that his mother's eyes were filled with anger. With a swish, he hurriedly ran out.

Cheng Fu opened the door and was almost hit by Liu Sibo, who was running straight out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and got out of the way in time: "What's going on with this kid? He's so reckless."

Liu Sibo did not dare to stop and apologize. Instead, he ran and said, "Uncle Cheng, I'm sorry. I'm running for my life."

Cheng Fu was still thinking about what had happened to the child, when he saw his younger brother Zhou Feng coming out with a stick in his hand: "You are so helpless, you even used your torn cotton-padded jacket as a kennel for the dog. Believe it or not, I will let you and Gu sleep outside the door. You come and use it as a kennel for the dog!”

Liu Sibo ran to a far place and stopped: "Mom, I was wrong."

The sound was so loud that it echoed, and even Cheng Xu, who was at home, heard it.

There was no electricity in Liujia Village yet, and when it got dark, they also finished dinner. Uncle Liu and the others went home. When Sibo left, he specifically asked Cheng Xu to make clothes for him, euphemistically calling him "Sister Winter". He had nothing to do, so he found something for him to do.

I just want to give this kid a piece of my mind.

"Dad, please remember to soak your feet at night. I've prepared a foot bath bucket and hot water." After a long journey, a foot bath in hot water can relieve fatigue.

Cheng Fuzao saw the bucket in the kitchen: "Go to bed, Dad knows."

Cheng Xu was also sleepy. She washed up early and got ready to rest. Han Chen was still reading in the room.

"Don't look at it. The flame of the candle is too small. You may have eye problems. You should also soak your feet. Just use one of my foot bath buckets in the shower room."

Han Chen also obediently closed the book and said goodbye for a long time: "Why didn't you prepare the floor?" How was he going to sleep?

"What kind of floor?" Cheng Xu was confused and couldn't hear clearly what Han Chen was saying.

Han Chen leaned close to Cheng Xu's ear and said, "I have a place to sleep."

Cheng Xu heard it clearly and patted the empty spot he had left: "You sleep here tonight."

Han Chen!
