Chapter 38 There is a big tree in front of the door, which can provide shade
Li Guawan saw his wife and went to close the door. Then he pulled his wife into the house and drove away his grandson. The two of them sat on the bed. He Lianhua didn't know what he was going to do.
"This was given to me by the educated youth today."
He Lianhua's eyes widened. "Old Li, you are not going to do anything bad, are you? I'm telling you, our family can't do those low-class things, otherwise I will take my son back to my parents' home and we will get divorced!"
Although He Lianhua is poor, she should be ambitious. She earns money with her own hands and will not take shortcuts, otherwise she will die prematurely!
Li Gua Wan quickly waved his hands, "That's impossible. Do I, Li Gua Wan, look like someone who can do such a thing?"
"One part of this money is for rent, and the other part is for food money people asked me to buy. This candy is given by her so that we can help her when she is in trouble."
He Lianhua gave up after hearing this, "But this money is not right! How can I give so much money?"
Now our whole family has only three dollars a month for living expenses, and this time we gave two dollars, and three rare milk candies. Isn’t this too much!
"He looked like a wealthy man. He said the rent was one dollar, but he didn't seem to have any change. He asked me to buy some meat, rice, vegetables, etc."
"I just arrived at the educated youth camp, there is nothing there, and now it's almost evening, how can I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things!"
"But it looks like the other things are ready. People did good things, so the military vehicles sent them here, and the bedding and other things were brought here as well."
He Lianhua also stood up quickly upon seeing this. "Then why don't I quickly send something to my sister? Our family has already cooked the meal. I'm afraid my sister from Renda University hasn't eaten anything and will be hungry for the whole day!"
"And here's one dollar. Whoever paid for the construction, you gave the money. I didn't expect that some educated youth would be so stupid as to not live in the free house but go live in the stuff that costs money in the back."
Li Guawan said, "You don't understand this, do you?" "According to the grapevine, they are coming from the capital. There are more than just a few of them this time, more than ten or twenty!"
"The big bunk bed in the front is too small to accommodate everyone, so we built a few small rooms in the back, no more, no less, five. The number of rooms for both male and female educated youths is the same."
He Lianhua looked at her man and pushed him with her finger in annoyance, "You are so smart, okay? I won't tell you anything for now. I'll go get something for my sister."
"And Lao Li, bring out some dry straw and weave it while you can. I'll give it to my eldest sister to make the bed, so that the mattress won't get dirty."
"Okay!" Li Guawan quickly stood up and put the candy aside. Otherwise, it must be the woman's meticulousness that a grown man like him would never have thought of such a thing.
He Lianhua looked at her man's actions and guessed that a grown man would not think so much. She smiled and continued to pick and choose in the cupboard, then picked up the basket and went to the cellar to load the vegetables.
After finishing everything, Li Guawan also wove the straw mat, put all the things away and said, "Wife, can you take it? Do you want me to take you there?"
He Lianhua looked at the things on the ground and shook her head. "I can easily get these things by doing farm work every day. You should stay at home to look after your grandson. Your son and daughter-in-law will soon be off work. You should pay attention to the time."
"The food is ready. You don't have to wait for me. Eat first. I'll bring some food to that girl."
After saying that, He Lianhua hurriedly picked up her things and left, leaving Li Guawan alone holding her little grandson.
He Lianhua walked all the way to the educated youth camp. The sun was setting, but it was very hot in June. She was sweating profusely after walking such a short distance. Her back was already wet with sweat. When she arrived at the educated youth camp, she hurriedly called out, "Chu Yuan, Chu Zhiqing!" Chu Yuan hurried out upon hearing that. She saw the old lady at the door of the educated youth camp and hurried forward, "Sister, you must be the captain's lover!"
Seeing that the person was sweating profusely, he quickly took her in and said, "Sister-in-law, come and have some water. It's hard for you to come here in such a hot sun. Thank you for your help."
He Lianhua had originally offered to see him off, but it was so sunny that she couldn't help being in a bad mood. But this girl was not only pretty, but also capable. She sat down with a smile, and took a sip of water because her throat was dry.
"Oh my! Sister, you added sugar! Just boiled water will do! Am I not taking advantage of you?"
He Lianhua felt the sweetness in her mouth. At that time, very few people were treated with sweet soup. She didn't expect that someone would treat her with sweet soup when he came to give her something. Her favorability towards Chu Yuan increased immediately.
Lian Lian took out the things and said, "Sister, put these vegetables and meat in your room. When you want to eat, cook them yourself. Don't mix with other educated youths."
Chu Yuan took the things, and He Lianhua continued, "The food for the educated youth is distributed by the team, which is all coarse grains. You can keep these millets for yourself. And this is the straw mat your eldest brother made for you. Put it underneath so that the mattress and other things will not get dirty."
Seeing the urgently needed things, Chu Yuan was extremely grateful, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I really need this thing now."
Chu Yuan was just worrying about how to lay the floor, but unexpectedly her sister-in-law brought it to her. It turned out that there are still many good people in the world. She thought of the sentence in the ancient book "The city is full of tricks, so I want to go back to the countryside". The ancient book was right.
He Lianhua smiled and picked up the things. "Where is your room? These things are heavy. Sister-in-law will take them in for you."
How could Chu Yuan let someone deliver the things in? He took them. But He Lianhua couldn't do that. She had drunk other people's sugar water, and these things were not given for free. They were bought with money.
But Chu Yuan kept accepting them. He Lianhua finally took some light ones and handed them to her, praising her non-stop: "Sister Chu is not only beautiful, but also very skillful. Whoever can marry you will be blessed by his family."
Why being well has to do with getting married is hard to understand.
But Chu Yuan just smiled and did not agree. The two chatted with each other. He Lianhua even helped Chu Yuan make the bed. Chu Yuan watched with his mouth open and sorted other things with his hands.
She did learn how to make her bed.
During this time, He Lianhua was still talking about her man, "How did Li Guawan introduce you to him? Why did you live here? Your place is close to the cowshed, why didn't Old Li tell you about it?"
When He Lianhua saw Chu Yuan's house, she frowned. Those who lived in the cowshed were of bad backgrounds and were there to do the construction and renovation. They should stay away from it to avoid being contaminated by bad luck.
Chu Yuan smiled and scratched his head, "There is a big tree in front of the door, which can provide shade, which is good."
He Lianhua looked at the tree in front of the door. It completely blocked out the sunlight, so the room was still cool, which was comfortable even in the hot summer.
Seeing this, she didn't say anything else, but just pointed to a place and said, "That's the cowshed, don't go there, or others will say something if they see you."
