Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Chapter 10 Settlement

Song Xiuxiu asked: "Uncle Zhou, when are you going to the commune or the county?"

Zhou Laizi: "I'm going to go there soon to deliver something to the commune."

Song Xiuxiu: "It's not convenient for you to bring me something back!"

Zhou Laizi: "No problem, it's just a matter of hand!"

Then Song Xiuxiu asked Xu Fengnian to help her write down all the things she wanted to buy one by one.

Song Xiuxiu was illiterate in her previous life. After wandering around the world for 50 years, she learned a lot of words, but she couldn't write. After all, she could no longer hold a pen at that time.

After writing the order, Song Xiuxiu took out another 50 yuan and gave it to Zhou Laizi.

“Uncle Zhou, I’ve never been out before, so I don’t know if the money is enough.

Zhou Laizi counted them and said hurriedly: "That's enough, that's enough."

"Don't worry, I will definitely buy everything you want today!"

Song Xiuxiu thanked him and sent the two of them off. After all, it was time to start work soon.

Song Xiuxiu specially asked Captain Liu for two days of leave to clean up the house.

She locked the door first, then let Yaya play in the yard while she started fetching water and cleaning the house.

Song Xiuxiu first cleaned up the dust, then looked at the empty house. While everyone was off work at noon, she took Yaya to Gao Carpenter's house in the village.

After arriving at Carpenter Gao's house, I briefly told him what furniture I wanted to build.

A wooden box used to store clothes and bedding.A kang table not only saves labor costs because of the small table, but also saves money on stools.Finally, I want a kitchen cabinet for collecting dishes.

Gao Carpenter knew that Song Xiuxiu had just separated and it was not easy for a widow to live with her children, so he didn't ask for more money.

Song Xiuxiu also knew that Gao Carpenter was taking care of her. After being extremely grateful, she paid a part of the deposit first and then promised that it would be done in two days. Song Xiuxiu then carried Yaya home.

Lunch was also very simple. Since she hadn't bought the bowls and chopsticks yet, Song Xiuxiu made some cornmeal pancakes and brought back some green onions from the Lu family's private plot. She ate the cornmeal pancakes with the green onions. Yaya was still very happy.

After lunch, Song Xiuxiu put Yaya to sleep and then started to clean up the yard. Although the yard was large, there were few things, so it was not difficult to clean up.

By evening, everything was almost done. At this time, Zhou Laizi came back with his bullock cart.

He stood at the door and called Song Xiuxiu to open the door. When he heard Zhou Laizi's voice, Song Xiuxiu hurriedly opened the door.

Since she had just had a quarrel with the Lu family, Song Xiuxiu was afraid that the Lu family would come and cause trouble. Besides being a woman with a child, she was also afraid that people with evil intentions in the village would come and cause trouble.So the courtyard door is usually closed.

After opening the courtyard door, I saw that the bullock cart was full of things that I wanted to use.

Song Xiuxiu: "Uncle Zhou really caused trouble for you!"

Zhou Laizi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What's the trouble? If you need to carry something at home in the future, just give me a shout and we will bring it back to you!"

After saying that, he took out the remaining money from his pocket and handed it to Song Xiuxiu.

Then he was about to help Song Xiuxiu move things. Seeing this, Song Xiuxiu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Zhou, your legs and feet are not convenient, so let me do it. Anyway, they are small items and easy to move."

Zhou Laizi said with a smile: "Don't underestimate your uncle Zhou. Although I walk with a limp, my work at home and outside the house is not delayed at all. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt."

As he spoke, he walked in with a casserole in his arms and several basins in his hands.

Song Xiuxiu felt that she was so stupid in her previous life. There were so many good people around her, but she died so miserably in the end!

Thinking of this, she became more determined to live a good life and not let down the help of these people.

After moving everything into the main room, Song Xiuxiu took out two bottles of wine from the pile and handed them to Zhou Laizi.

"Uncle Zhou, I know you are not helping me for these reasons, but you must accept these two bottles of wine. We orphans and widowed mothers will definitely have to trouble you in the future. If you don't accept it, I will have no shame in looking for it again in the future. You helped!”

Seeing that Song Xiuxiu had said this, Zhou Laizi couldn't refuse anymore, so he could only accept the two bottles of wine, then patted his chest and promised: "If you have any problems in the future, just come to me, as long as I am here, I will never let you My mother-in-law has been wronged in this village."

"Then I will really have to rely on Uncle Zhou in the future!" Song Xiuxiu said with a smile.

After Zhou Laizi left, Song Xiuxiu began to sort out the things she had bought.

There are a few pieces of cloth and some needlework to make clothes for Yaya and herself. There is a small stove and a casserole, which is very convenient for making porridge and soup.

There is also a kettle, tableware, plates, two basins, a large basin, a small basin, two teapots, two toothbrushes, a toothpaste, a bottle of kerosene, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a bottle of cream and pencils book.

Song Xiuxiu bought things that she would use now. As for winter cotton-padded clothes and quilts, she wanted to wait until everything was settled before adding them slowly.

Song Xiuxiu always worked neatly and had everything put away in a short time.

At this time, Yaya, who was playing in the mud in the yard, ran over and said, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Ya Ya is hungry, can mommy cook for you right away?"

Yaya nodded happily.

Song Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Go and wash your hands quickly, and then help mom light the fire."

After hearing her mother's instructions, Yaya obediently ran to fetch water and wash her hands.

In the evening, Song Xiuxiu made soup. She did not dare to use all white flour, but mixed some cornmeal. Then she rolled the dough into thin slices, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and finally put it into boiling water and added seasonings. , put a little sesame oil, and the fragrance instantly filled the whole room.

Yaya was already swallowing her saliva greedily. Song Xiuxiu smiled and scratched her nose and said, "What a greedy little cat!"

Ya Ya suddenly burst into laughter!

The mother and daughter's meals are simple to prepare and quick to eat.

After eating, Song Xiuxiu saw that it was not too late, so she took out two bottles of wine and a pack of snacks, and then went out with Yaya in her arms.

Yaya's eyes widened when she looked at the packet of snacks in her mother's hand. She had only seen this thing in her grandma's house. Among all the children, only Huzi was qualified to eat it, so she started just looking at the wrapping paper. Drooling.

Song Xiuxiu noticed something was wrong with Yaya's eyes, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, little greedy cat, I have yours. Mom left it at home. Give us Yaya a whole pack to eat, okay?"

After hearing her mother's words, Yaya immediately showed a look of surprise, but quickly said: "Not good!"

"Not good? Why!" Song Xiuxiu asked in confusion.

Ya Ya: "Ya Ya can't eat by herself, and there's mommy too! Let's eat together!"

After hearing her daughter's tender voice say such heartwarming words, Song Xiuxiu suddenly felt warm in her heart.

Throughout his two lives, Yaya has always been his biggest motivation to survive!
