Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu looked at each other when they heard the sound in the room, and then Song Xiuxiu winked at her little sister and asked her to go out and see what was going on.

When she saw Song Sihong, Tao Xiaoling's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to her previous expression.

"Little sister, why are you out? Isn't your second sister at home?"

Tao Xiaoling's tone was very cordial and familiar, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years!

Song Sihong looked at her with calm eyes, and her words were also very rude: "Don't yell like that, as if we are so familiar!"

"Please call me Comrade Song Sihong!"

In the past, Tao Xiaoling always found various reasons to come here from time to time. Song Sihong felt it was strange because her second sister seemed to dislike her very much. She always received her coldly. This was not the second sister's way of treating others. .

So Song Sihong curiously asked her second sister the reason.

Song Xiuxiu didn't hide anything, so she told Tao Xiaoling about her previous relationship with Lu Aiguo.

In fact, this is not what disgusts her the most. What she hates most is that Tao Xiaoling always finds various reasons to come here, and after she comes, as long as Lu Aiguo is at home, her eyes never leave this man.

Song Sihong, who knew the reason, would naturally not have a good face. According to her temperament, she did not beat Tao Xiaoling out with a big broom, just to give face to her second sister!

Seeing the other party's unkind attitude, Tao Xiaoling didn't want to look at the face of a little girl, so she took out a letter from her backpack and handed it over.

"I just passed by the gatekeeper of the compound, and there happened to be a letter from your sister, so I brought it back!"

Song Sihong took the envelope and saw that it was really for her second sister, so she said perfunctorily: "Thank you!"

After saying that, he turned around to walk back into the house, but when he looked back, he saw that Tao Xiaoling had not left, but stretched her neck to look into the house. Song Sihong immediately said in a bad tone: "Comrade Tao, does anything else happen?"

"Huh? No more!"

"If not, go back quickly. It's getting late. Your Director Sun must be starving!"

Tao Xiaoling rolled her eyes at her displeasedly and left angrily!

Song Sihong returned to the house with the letter.

After entering the room, Song Sihong put the letter on the table.

Song Xiuxiu saw that it was sent to her, so she opened it easily.

The letter was written by the old party secretary and the village accountant. There was no gossip. It only detailed Song Xiuxiu's work points in the first half of the year, as well as the village's grain and money distribution at the end of the year.

Along with the letter came some food stamps, which Song Xiuxiu specifically told her to exchange for food stamps before she left.

Since it is a national food stamp, the amount of food distributed is less than the actual amount, but there is nothing we can do about it, as it is stipulated above.

In addition to food stamps, there are 23 yuan and [-] cents.

Song Xiuxiu took inventory and asked Lu Aiguo to put the letter into the desk drawer.

When Tao Xiaoling returned home, she found that Sun Zhenghui had not returned yet. The lights were not turned on and the stove was out. It was deserted.

Thinking back to what she saw through the window next door, the family was sitting on the kang, seemingly doing something, chatting and laughing, which was quite lively. When she compared it to her own home, Tao Xiaoling's heart instantly froze.

After making the dumplings, Song Xiuxiu was asked to rest on the kang. Lu Aiguo packed up the flour, cutting board and rolling pin. Three Reds and Four Reds were responsible for cooking the dumplings. The two children were peeling garlic and pouring vinegar.

With the busy work of the whole family, the hot dumplings were quickly served on the Kang table.

It is stuffed with sauerkraut and pork. Song Xiuxiu also mixed some oil residue left over from the lard consumption in the previous two days, which leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth after one bite!

Even Song Xiuxiu, who doesn’t like eating meat after pregnancy, ate very enthusiastically!

Just when the family was praising the dumplings, Song Sihong suddenly said to Song Xiuxiu.

"Second sister, now that our household registration has been settled, I want to go to work!"

Song Xiuxiu was not too surprised, after all, she had heard the news before.

"It's a good thing to go to work. Are you going to the quilt factory? When do you plan to go?"

Song Sihong: "I have made an agreement with Director Zhao of the Quilt Factory, and I can go there at any time as long as my hukou is approved."

"I plan to go there tomorrow!"

"only……"

Song Sihong paused, then decided to speak out: "It's just that I'm moving out!"

"Move out? Why!"

Song Xiuxiu was shocked. Song Sanhong on the side also put down her chopsticks, widened her eyes and shook Song Sihong's arm in confusion.

Their reactions were all within Song Sihong's expectation, and she spoke unhurriedly.

"Second sister, I like to live a free life and don't want to be restricted!"

"Don't you feel free to live with us?" Song Xiuxiu asked.

Song Sihong immediately explained: "It's not the second sister, I just don't think it's convenient. I'm already a big girl and I always need some privacy of my own. Plus, it's quite far from the quilt factory. I have to walk a lot every day to get off work." It’s a long journey, so I want to live in a dormitory!”

Song Xiuxiu lowered her head and said nothing. After a moment of silence, she said, "What little sister said makes sense, just do what you say!"

When they ate again, Song Xiuxiu remained silent and said she was full after only two bites.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the others didn't dare to say anything, especially the two little guys, who obediently helped Song Sanhong clean up the dishes after eating.

After everyone else went back to the house to sleep, Lu Aiguo took Song Xiuxiu into his arms and whispered.

"My little sister has grown up, you can't always treat her like a child."

"Besides, since they are all in the same compound, she can still come back often, and it is very safe here and there will be no danger!"

Song Xiuxiu nestled in the man's arms, feeling a little depressed.

"The four of us sisters have grown up supporting each other and helping each other!"

"Especially now that the third sister and the younger sister have come to seek refuge with me, I feel that I must take responsibility for fear that something will happen to them!"

"Now that my little sister's wings are hardened and she's about to fly out, I suddenly feel empty in my heart!"

Lu Aiguo stroked her hair and comforted her softly: "You just love to put burdens on yourself too much."

"Whether it's the children or the third and fourth sisters, you are always afraid that you are not doing well enough, but you don't know that you have already done a good job!"

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, learn to relax and let go!"

"She's right under your nose, she'll be fine!"

Song Xiuxiu: "When I first came back from rebirth, I just wanted to live for myself and Yaya. The life and death of others had nothing to do with me!"

"But as time goes by, I suddenly find that there are more and more people I care about and can't let go of!"

Lu Aiguo asked softly: "Are you tired?"

Song Xiuxiu said without hesitation: "Why am I tired? This is my happiness. There are so many people I care about, which means there are so many people who love me. It's too late to be happy!"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo placed a gentle kiss on her forehead: "As long as you are happy, if you feel tired one day, just let it go. There is no need to accommodate others or wrong yourself!"

Song Xiuxiu nestled in the man's arms and responded softly: "Okay!"
