Zhaojun's open life

city

The sun is like fire in July.

This year's weather is hotter than usual.

After the exam, Zhaojun walked out of school, carrying the messenger bag made by his mother, which was limply drooping.

Exhaling a breath, she knew very little about the students coming and going around her. She had been in the class for a total of ten days.

With classmates, that is to say, I have met, and I don't have any feelings or classmates.

Some female students who love beauty have already put on beautiful dresses.

"Student Chu Zhaojun." Someone called her from behind.Turning around and looking back, it was a tall male classmate who looked a little sorry to the audience, with character eyebrows and triangular eyes.The sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and eyes rolled up and down on Zhaojun's body.

This person, Chang Erhu, is a repeat student and a male student in Zhaojun's class.

"Student Chang Erhu, what's the matter?" With a cold face, there was no extra expression.

Chang Erhu salivated with a strange smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's just that it's rare to see classmate Chu appearing at school to say hello."

"After the fight, I have to go home." After speaking, Zhaojun left without looking back.

Chang Erhu, who was standing behind, suddenly "bah" and left.

He had already set his sights on Chu Zhaojun, a new transfer student in his class. It is said that her family is from the countryside.But studying in school is very free. You can come when you want, and you can’t come if you don’t want to.

He wanted to find out what ability Chu Zhaojun's family had so that she could not attend classes at school.

He was a curious man, full of curiosity.He wanted to understand everything, but at this moment he didn't know what it meant to be curiosity that killed the cat.

Back in the small building, there was a knock on the door outside, separated by a small courtyard, it was not very clear.

"Xiao Chu, are you home?" Someone shouted loudly from outside, knocking on the door vigorously.

She was familiar with the voice, it was Aunt Cui from the neighborhood committee.

"Aunt Cui, wait." Just as Zhaojun put on his slippers, someone shouted outside, so he had to put on his walking slippers, and trotted out to open the door while pulling on his shoes.

Opening the door, Aunt Cui stood outside with a smile.

"Xiao Chu, are you back for the exam?"

"Well, Aunt Cui, you come in and sit down, are you here on business?"

Zhaojun invited Aunt Cui to come in.

"It's fine to enter the house." Aunt Cui walked into the yard and looked around.

The furniture in the house, Zhaojun has almost changed, all the complicated and delicate furniture has been replaced by Zhaojun. Now the furniture outside is all old, even the sofa in the living room on the first floor has become a rattan sofa.

Xia Tian didn't need the cushion, she had already put it away.

The house is full of semi-old furniture, and there is no outstanding furniture.

"Hey, Xiao Chu, I remember that the furniture in the past wasn't like this, why is the room full of old furniture now?" After entering the room, Aunt Cui discovered the problem.

"My father said that the previous furniture was too good to live in. I found someone to sell it all, and bought some old furniture at a low price.

After selling and buying, there is still a lot of money left.It's good to be able to subsidize the family. "

Walking to the side of the chest of drawers, he picked up the porcelain kettle with cold boiled water, and poured Aunt Cui a glass of cool boiled water, "Aunt Cui drinks water."

"Thank you, you kid is just being polite."

After Aunt Cui glanced at the furnishings in the living room, she stopped asking about the furniture.

But the purpose of turning around and talking, "Xiao Chu, someone asked me to ask you, is your small building for sale?"

Aunt Cui didn't want to ask at first, how obvious it is, how could she sell a small building that someone just bought.

But the man said that he was willing to pay a high price, which was higher than the market price.

She also brought a lot of gifts to her house, so she was willing to try it.Otherwise, there is a high probability that she knows that it is impossible, so why would she ask.

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to my senses, and asked in surprise, "Auntie, my family just bought the small building not long ago, and no one has lived in it yet. How could they sell it? Who is out of their minds?"

Zhaojun really didn't understand, who was so clueless.

Aunt Cui, who was sitting across from her, also felt that the person who wanted to buy a small building had something wrong in her head.

She doesn't know if the Chu family has any money, but since they bought this small building, in general, as long as they don't leave the country like those who want to stay away, they go to other countries.Or if the whole family transfers their work to another city, most people will not sell such a small building.

Even if you are transferred to work in another country, you will not sell it at the beginning.

Going to work in another city, who knows how big the house will be arranged there, and whether the family members can live there.

Everything is unknown.

Aunt Cui smiled awkwardly, and since she asked, she simply asked immediately, "Xiao Chu, I told you that your family just bought a small building, so you definitely won't sell it immediately.

But the man said that he paid a high price, which was higher than the market price.I'm thinking about it and I'll tell you, it's a matter of loyalty. "

She never thought that the Chu family would sell the house.

"Aunt Cui, my house won't be sold. No matter how high the price is, I won't sell it. Because even with the high price offered by that person, it's hard for me to buy such a small building.

A small building that is too big and too delicate, my family doesn’t need it and can’t afford it.The house is worse, and it is not as good as a small building, so why sell it now. "

"Yes, I wouldn't sell it. What a nice little building."

Aunt Cui also understood that it was true.No matter how much money you give, you may not be able to buy the same house in the future.

She has lived nearby for decades, but she knows the origin of this small building.

In the past, this was the old house of the Qi family's father and brother-in-law's family.

Later, because the old man's brother-in-law died of his parents early, the old house was occupied by the uncle at home.

He left Hualai with his younger siblings and went to the provincial capital to discuss life.

I went there for many years, and when I came back, I took my wife and daughter with me.At that time, the family had already settled down in the provincial capital, and returning to Hualai City was to visit relatives.

A few years later, news came back that the old man's sister and brother-in-law both died, leaving only an orphan.

Not long after, the old man of the Qi family bought the old house of his brother-in-law's family and built a small building.

When the niece grew up and got married, it was given to the niece. Later, before liberation, the niece and his wife took their children to another country, and the small building returned to the hands of the old man of the Qi family.

"Aunt Cui, please tell that person that my house doesn't sell small buildings. If I really don't, don't bother, it's better to look elsewhere."

"Hey, I just said that your house won't be sold. I'll go and talk about it when I get off work. Then I'll go first."

Aunt Cui patted her thigh, then got up and left.

"Aunt Cui, I'll see you off." Zhaojun also got up and sent Aunt Cui out.I kept sending Aunt Cui to the outside of the yard.

"Don't send it away, you have to go back after the exam?"

Aunt Cui turned her head and waved, then left.

Back in the living room, Zhaojun was somewhat puzzled why someone would pay a high price for a small building.

Turn on the vintage old desk fan in the living room, left over from the original owner.

There are three fans in total. This is a good thing. Zhaojun didn't put it in the space, but kept it outside.These do not need to be covered, the carport in the yard, and a bicycle parked there, are also left by the original owner.

These neighborhood committees also know about it.

It will be used at home in the future, and there is no need to cover it.Can be used aboveboard.

At night, Zhaojun still dressed up as a black and thin boy and went to the black market.The black market trades are all prohibited, or some commodities that are not easy to buy on the market.

It has been about four years since liberation, and the upper levels have already confiscated the wooden warehouses scattered among the people.

But the black market still exists, as long as you are willing to pay, and you can afford a lot of money, you can still buy it.

In the evening, Zhaojun came to the black market, and at the agreed place, he fiddled with the items ordered by others early.

Paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other hand, people who come to buy things don't dare to do anything to the dark and thin boy in front of them.

With his skill, they dare not make trouble.

A well-regulated transaction, what do you want next time, handed Zhaojun a list, looked at it with a flashlight, Zhaojun said to the person who received the goods, "Yes, in the old time and place at night in ten days, prepare the money .”

Then he took out the pen and paper, did the math, and wrote a set of numbers on another blank piece of paper.

"Amount."

"Okay." The person who came to pick up the goods illuminated the number with a flashlight, then nodded.

At 09:30, Zhaojun returned home and jumped in from the back wall.The front door was still locked from the inside.

I slept until seven o'clock in the morning before getting up.

Summer in the north is not as hot and dry as in the south.

At night, Zhaojun also covered the blanket.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, breathing out for a week.

She has been practicing since she traveled to open the Lingquan space.It is a set of breathing exercises obtained when crossing the world of cultivating immortals.

In the Dharma-ending Era, where the aura is minimal, one can also cultivate.It does not require much aura, but it can prolong life, enhance physical fitness, physical fitness, and increase physical strength.

In the exercises, there are also ancient martial arts as a bonus.

Because she thought it was good and had a wide range of uses, when she was in the world of cultivating immortals, she memorized it by rote and kept it in her mind.

She will review every life and keep it in her mind.

Because Goldfinger is the Lingquan space, she thought that the situation would be unstable for a while, so she started to practice the next day.

With uninterrupted practice every day, with the assistance of Lingquan, she has already entered the acquired six-fold realm.

Entering the innate is also just around the corner.

I practiced until eleven o'clock in the morning, and then I stopped practicing.

Pack your bags and get ready to go home.Big bags, big baskets, containing oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar bought for the family, ten catties of black and yellow flour, and twenty catties of broken rice.Five catties of pork belly and a piece of pork suet.

When the shuttle bus stopped at the entrance of the village, Zhaojun got off with bags and a basket on his back.

The heavy and heavy pannier is carried on the back, and there is no pressure at all.Moving her long legs, she walked towards the house.

I met a lot of people in the village on the way, and they all knew that the little girl of the Chu family was amazing now, raising eight pigs by herself, tsk tsk tsk.Can do better than an adult.

I heard that I still study in the city, but I study at home on weekdays, and I only go to school when I take exams.

Many people in Dongshan Village were staring at him, wondering if there would be a chance for their boy to marry the old daughter of the Chu family in the future.

As for the rumor that the Chu family paid for the old girl to buy a house in the city, not many people believed it.

No matter how much you dote on your daughter, it's impossible to be like this. Old Chu won't be so foolish.

It is possible to buy a house and move out.But it will not be given to the girl, that is the girl who is going to be married off, which is equivalent to pouring out water.

"Junjun, you've entered the city, what did you buy?"

"Junjun, how did you do in the city entrance exam?"

"..."

"I didn't buy anything, just the daily necessities for the family. I passed the exam."

He responded with a smile along the way, and responded politely to every elder and peer in the village, with a friendly smile and no perfunctory at all.At least it doesn't feel perfunctory.

You can also see many people working in the fields on both sides.

Back home, before entering the door, a group of young people shouted happily, "My aunt (auntie) is back!"

A group of children in the family like the old aunt (aunt) the most, and they all shouted happily, and all ran out to greet her.

"Grandma (aunt), I'll help you get it." A group of children came up to help her get the big and small bags.

"Okay, take it, did you go out to hunt pigweed today?"

What Zhaojun is most concerned about is the hunting of pigweed at home.

"Yes, I played better."

A group of children roared into the house carrying their bags.It is noon at this time, usually eat two meals during slack, skip lunch, but still have to rest at noon.

The child carried the bag and ran straight to the brick and tile house, without leaving a single glance to the people in the old house eager to know what the old girl brought back.

The old man was sitting under the eaves, carefully knocking on the new cigarette rod, which was given to him by the old girl some time ago.

The shredded tobacco was also bought by the old girl. It doesn't choke or rush, and it tastes good and strong, which he likes.There is also a fresh fragrance, which is many times better than the shredded tobacco he smoked before, and he likes it very much.

There was also a small round rattan table beside it, and there was a steaming enamel jar with a cup of hot tea in it.The fragrance of tea leaves floats into the nostrils along with the hot mist.

A complete set of rattan furniture at home, rattan rocking chair, three round rattan chairs, rattan table, rattan summer bed.

They were all bought from the city after the completion of new houses. Although they were old, they were the only ones in the village.

Surrounded by a group of children, Zhaojun placed rice, grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on the kang in the parents' room.Then sit on the kang in the main room.

"Mom, I bought a lot of cotton silk (not cotton, but cotton, which is thinner and more comfortable), and I will make two sets of short-sleeved jackets and trousers for you and dad in summer."

The cotton silk was folded squarely by her and placed on top of the basket.

Take them out piece by piece, there are gray ones, blue ones, and some light colored ones.

They were all bought in department stores in the city, and every piece of cloth could be made into a set.

Touching the slippery and comfortable cotton cloth, Chu's mother wanted to say that the old girl was a prodigal, but looking at the child's sincere eyes, she couldn't say it.

Is it wrong for the child to be filial to her and the old man? That's right.The old girl said last time, don't say too much "no need" "not allowed next time" and so on about the filial piety of children.

If she talks too much, her children will take it seriously and stop being filial.

They are to be encouraged to be filial, but within their means.

You can't be blindly filial.

She remembered, and swallowed the words abruptly.

Last time, the old girl got a 300-year-old Ganoderma lucidum by herself, and she knew it.I also know how much it sold for. It was my daughter who went to the city to find a buyer.

Because of the good quality and the fact that he is a rich man who wants to go abroad, he charged a high price for the goods, which gave his daughter a high price.

"Okay, mother, I will make two pairs of cotton short-sleeved trousers for your father right away."

Mother Chu happily enjoyed the filial piety of her old daughter.

"Mom, pay attention when you make it. The clothes can be made looser and the pants a little wider. You can wear them to go out during the day, or you can wear them to sleep at night."

She remembered that in the 90s, cotton silk was very popular, pajamas and nightdresses, as well as skirts, shorts, sleeveless and so on in summer, there were many.

But she didn't expect that there are now, and since there are, there will be no problem in buying from the big screen in the space in the future.

On the first day she returned to the city, she bought some, two-thirds of which were bought on the big screen in Lingquan space.

The children in the family wear a set of short-sleeved cropped pants.

"Okay, I know. Did you buy it for yourself?" Mother Chu always pays attention to whether the old girl is fed and clothed. If she doesn't, she will make it for her.

"I bought it, four sets. Two sets for daytime wear, and two sets for pajamas at night. Mother, don't worry, I will make it myself."

A group of children held candies in their hands and looked enviously at the various cotton and silk cloths that the old aunt brought out. They were so beautiful.

The children know that they can't ask, they can't ask for it, and all of them are sensible and don't speak.

After playing in a mess at home for a long time, it can be regarded as a relaxation after the exam.

The next day, life was back on track again.

Get up at five o'clock, go up the mountain to hunt pigweed, and go down the mountain at eight o'clock, dragging a few bundles of pigweed down the mountain, and carrying dead leaves that are angry.

This is her daily routine. She wakes up at five o'clock today, opens her eyes, brushes her teeth, and washes her face with clean water.

Zhaojun, who was sweating and dragging pigweed home, saw the Li family when he entered the yard.

I also saw Li Rong, the scumbag in my memory, following his parents, his eyes full of impatience.

"Ah, Junjun is back." Li's mother shouted exaggeratedly, her gums were exposed in a smile, and all her yellow teeth were exposed.

There was also a sour smell, and it must have never been brushed.

A lot of residue fermented between the teeth in the mouth, exuding a rancid smell.

People around Xun turned their heads or covered their noses and walked away.

"Xiaojuan, bring your younger siblings to pretend to be pigweed."

Instead of answering Li's mother, he told his nieces and nephews.

"Okay, old aunt go to rest first, I will take my brothers and sisters to pigweed."

"Don't go into the river."

The children in the family were hired by my aunt yesterday to help my aunt wash pigweed during the summer vacation, cut pigweed for an hour in the morning, and at the end of the month, each of them was paid [-] cents.

But a group of children were so happy, they also did their own work, and the work of the old aunt (auntie) also had to be done.

"Know, know."

A group of children ran away laughing and laughing, and the baskets that had been prepared a long time ago were already put aside.

After washing, it should be chopped and then boiled.

The pig at home already weighs a hundred catties.These days, a pig can raise two hundred catties, which is called a big fat pig.

One hundred catties of pigs are almost ready for slaughter.

The older you get, the more you eat.Now she struggles to separate the pigweed every day. The eight pigs eat not one or two scoops of pigweed for each meal, but half a bucket or more.

She also got some rice bran from the space, and the wheat bran was mixed with boiled pigweed for the pigs to eat.

Unreasonable to the exaggerated mother Li, the three members of the Li family, including Li Rong who had been impatient, all had an ugly and dark face.Unexpectedly, Chu Zhaojun would not give them face.

Not long after Zhaojun crossed over, before the new house was built, Chu's father went to Li's house and asked to cancel the engagement.

The Li family also agreed, but later they saw the Chu family building a house.It was obvious that they had made a fortune, so the Li family kept procrastinating, neither saying they would withdraw from the engagement nor saying that they would not withdraw.

The couple used to think that the Chu family was not very good, and the marriage contract between the two children was made by the children's grandfather.

They wanted to quit later, but they didn't take action in the end.

Unexpectedly, they didn't think about retiring the engagement, but the Chu family actually wanted to resign, and the Li family didn't agree because they felt that they would lose face.In the future, I feel that the Chu family has made a fortune, and I feel a little bit reluctant.

It's like a meaty bone with some meat on it, it's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away.

I came here today because I heard too many rumors and wanted to come to the Chu family to explore the way.Let's see if we can retire or not. My son is absolutely unwilling.

Li Rong is their most beloved son. If the son really doesn't like Chu Zhaojun, they will withdraw the engagement.

For the vulgar and sloppy Chu Zhaojun, Li Rong didn't like him at all.He can't stand raising pigs at home every day without going to school.

He was studying in the county town, and what he liked in his heart were all the beautiful and well-dressed female classmates in the city who were educated and literate.

The one in front of her was sloppy, with grass all over her body, disheveled hair, she looked like a crazy woman, and she was also arrogant, she ignored her elders, and the elders took the initiative to say hello to her, she didn't even answer her, who is she, she has no manners at all.

Li Rong was angry, he felt that Chu Zhaojun who was not far away looked ugly, so ugly that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

He strode towards Zhaojun who was distributing pig grass to his nephews and nieces, stood three meters away from Zhaojun, and shouted loudly, "Chu Zhaojun, didn't you hear my mother greet you?"

"Who are you? Oh, so you look down on my Young Master Li."

Zhaojun knew the virtue of the person in front of him.

One sentence shocked all the Chu family members present. They all looked straight at Li Rong with one meaning in their eyes: Tell me clearly, who do you look down on?

"You, you, you, why don't you look down on your family? What is there in your family that deserves my attention. A bumpkin of the family."

Being stared at like this, with malice, Li Rong threw away the little IQ in his head in order to strengthen his reputation, and loudly strengthened himself.

At this time, he is not a few years later, and he has a city mansion, but he does not immediately discover his original virtue.

"Okay, that's how your Li family sees us. If we retire, we must."

Chu's father first came up with the matter of retiring the engagement. The conditions of the Chu family were good, and the resignation was a bit of a confession, but now he caught Li Rong's talk.

Take the opportunity to seize the topic, and must withdraw the engagement.He also looked down on the Li family boy, he looked like a dog, but he was actually not very good at heart.

A stomach full of bad water.

"Yes, divorce, Li Gengtian's family, you heard, divorce. Before our house was built, the old man went to your house to discuss the divorce, and your family didn't say anything.

Don't say quit, don't say no quit, why does your family not divorce the marriage while looking down on my family? "

Mother Chu stood up eagerly, and grabbed Mother Li by the collar of her clothes.

He was so aggressive that he sprayed mother Li's face with saliva, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

Passers-by outside the Chu family's courtyard heard what the Chu family couple said, and stopped moving. They stood in place and moved a few steps. They stood at the gate of the Chu family's courtyard and looked around, stretching their ears to listen.
