Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

The two of them chatted here and there along the way, and when they were talking, they arrived at the door of Song's house.In the courtyard, the old lady was chatting with the neighbor's aunt to enjoy the cool air. When she saw them, she hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Miaohua take off the bamboo basket on her back. "Mom, come in quickly, have a sip of tea and rest."

"No, no, I have to go back as soon as it's not completely dark. The two dogs kept by Shunan's family at the fork in the road were not on leashes. I was afraid that Yao Yao and Zhiyu would be frightened, so I sent them all the way into the house. You can eat them. ?" Li Miaohua has a straightforward and friendly personality, and her speech is crisp and pleasant to listen to.

The old lady had a smile on her face and said, "It's been a while since I finished eating. I'd better have a sip of tea before leaving. I'm so embarrassed."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? I'm my daughter and my grandson, so why are you being polite to me? Okay, you guys go in the house, I'll leave first." She stretched out her hand to touch her grandson's soft tofu-like face, then turned around and looked towards the sky. Walk into the sunset.

Lu Chuyao pressed Zaizai's ear, raised his little hand and waved it in the air, "Bye bye to grandma."

The neighbor's aunt finished cracking the last melon seed in her palm and said with a smile: "There is no girl in the country who has a better life than Chu Yao."

Lu Chuyao didn't know what to say in response to the mindless praise.She had never been good at talking to strangers and elders, so she had to smile politely.But the old lady was very happy and continued, "From now on, everyone's life will only get better and better. It's not like before, well..."

During the collective work, everyone went out to work in the scorching sun every day, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, having nothing to eat, and not making much money at the end of the year. Not to mention how miserable those days were.

"Yes, our Tie Zhu's health collapsed at that time. Now he has to go to town every three to five to get medicine. I don't know how much money he put in. Last year, he spent all his money to support his son's marriage, and he still owes a lot of foreign debts. Hey, I really don’t know what to do.” The aunt who was smiling just now was looking at the sky with a frown and sighing.

The old lady was no longer in a hurry to pack up the bamboo basket, "It doesn't cost money to marry and have children. It's the same for everyone. Besides, after Gangzi got married, you will be relieved." I think that when their Mingze got married, not Counting the trivial money such as wine, wedding candies, etc., the gift of glory was 300 yuan.

Lu Chuyao caught the old lady's gaze, narrowed his eyes and smiled.She listened to the conversation between the two of them. The topic of bride price was indeed sensitive, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all.All the money given as a gift by Song Mingze was in her hands, and her parents didn't take any of it.

Looking at the entire brigade, her dowry is almost unmatched by anyone.The dowry wardrobe and desk, four quilts, two water bottles, and a deposit of 160 yuan.What Lu Jianjun and Li Miaohua prepared for Lu Chuyao was the confidence for her to occupy the right to speak in the Song family.

Regarding this, not only her husband Song Mingze knew it, but Grandma Song also felt like a mirror.

"When my daughter falls in love, their father and I will fully complete our mission." The aunt's worried voice sounded again. "It's hard to find a marriage in this girl's family, so I said that Chu Yao has a good fortune. Her parents' family is rich, her father is a carpenter, and her eldest brother is a worker in the city. After marrying your Mingze, she gave birth to a fat boy the next year. No one is better off than her."

"No, no, if you want to have a good life, your family will definitely be rich and powerful in the future if they are Cuicui." Lu Chuyao was really not interested in listening to the business compliments that followed, "Grandma, I took the baby to the room first, and he The wind can’t blow for too long.”

"There is hot water in the kitchen. It is reserved for you and Zhiyu. It is enough for you two to take a bath."

"Uh-huh."

Before news of the debt collection progress came from his parents' home, Lu Chu took Zaizai to the town.The child still had one shot of nettle vaccine left, and it was almost due, so she had to take him to get it done quickly.Fortunately, her family bought a bicycle, otherwise it would be too much for her to walk on her legs.

The town is not big, with only three or four streets in total, but the health center is very easy to find. As soon as you enter the main street, you can see the conspicuous red signs on the wall.There were not many people in the lobby of the health center, and there were even fewer parents holding their children for vaccination.Therefore, the whole process was very fast. Three minutes later, she was walking down the steps while comforting her crying son.

"Okay, okay, if you cry again, your little face will peel." The little guy seemed to be able to understand what his mother said, and his crying gradually decreased, and finally he lay sobbing on Lu Chuyao's shoulder. He was so well-behaved that Lu Chuyao was heart-broken. All melted.

Motherly love abounds.

The supply and marketing cooperative not far from the health center had a different scene. The hall was bustling with people, and all the counters were crowded. As far as the eye could see, they were all filled with black heads.Lu Chuyao was so frightened that he didn't dare to step in for fear of being squeezed into a meat pie.

"What day is it today? There are so many people?"

A young girl next to her heard her muttering and answered enthusiastically: "Because we have to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and because the life is good during this period, there are many married women and children. Well, the third counter on the left has the most people."

Lu Chuyao stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck as hard as he could, but still couldn't see it. "What's on sale at that counter?"

"Candy and shortbread. Hey, I have to go in. There are more and more people buying fabrics. What will happen when they are all sold out!" After leaving this sentence in a hurry, the young girl slipped into the crowd like a loach. Disappeared in an instant.

Lu Chuyao shook his head in admiration, his eyes flashing, "Zai Zai, can mommy take you shopping elsewhere?" The little guy showed a toothless smile, grabbed the hanging hair with his bare hands, and pulled hard ,"hiss!"

"You bastard!"

Most of the street shops are restaurants and accommodations, and there are basically no department stores.Lu Chuyao was bored with shopping, so he took the little guy into a tailor shop. After 10 minutes, she bought three sets of ready-made clothes and most of the soft and close-fitting cotton cloth.

Coming out of the tailor shop, I met two familiar figures at the corner.The two people seemed to be choosing which small restaurant to go to for dinner, and finally the man turned around and was about to walk towards her.

Then, the three of them looked at each other in the street.

Feng Yang's pupils twitched slightly and he ran towards her in small steps.He said in surprise: "Yao Yao, why are you here?" There was no embarrassment at all. Those who didn't know thought they were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years and met by chance on the street.

"The children are vaccinated, why don't you come to town to eat?" She had an impression of that girl, a Chinese teacher who went to the countryside for internship.

Feng Yang obviously didn't want to get around to this topic. He said "hmm" and stopped talking. He just said, "The letter from last time..." His voice was very low.

Lu Chuyao's eyes turned cold instantly, and his voice was slightly cold, "Teacher Feng, didn't Lu Qingqing explain it clearly to you? Oh, it seems not."

Facing his stunned face, Lu Chuyao raised his chin arrogantly, "That's right. In front of your face, I would like to remind you once again, don't harass me again."

Not allowing the scumbag to argue, she continued to keep her face expressionless and output steadily, "By the way, the money I kindly lent you before, as well as the things you entrusted me to buy for you, remember to convert them into cash, which adds up to 20 yuan. Only for you. Return it within this week, otherwise..."

Hearing this, Feng Yang became angry with embarrassment, his eyes turned red from holding back, he clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Otherwise, what can you do to me?"
