Rebirth in 1963, starting from escaping from the bridal chamber

Zhu Chunmei, who had been standing nearby, also answered at this time: "Yes, Heping has been away for a year, and I just went to borrow brown sugar. If I hadn't heard the voice, I almost didn't recognize him."

"He's skinny and skinny, with wounds on his head, and his whole body stinks. I'm afraid he's going to suffer a lot."

After saying this, Xu Xiuying felt even more distressed. She held her son's hand and asked why.

Zhao Jiaping was afraid that his mother would be worried if he told her, so he simply said: "I am not accustomed to the local environment, so I lost weight."

"As for the injury on my head, I accidentally fell when I was walking in a hurry when I came back."

"But it's okay now."

"Mom, don't worry."

Everything about Taojia Village cannot be described in a single word.

His mother would definitely be frightened if she said so.

According to how weak he is, it's better not to be stimulated by anything.

Of course Xu Xiuying didn't believe it, but if her son didn't tell her, there was nothing she could do.

"Heping, you must be hungry. Mom will get up and cook for you."

Xu Xiuying said, getting up.

Zhao Heping quickly stopped and said, "Mom, don't move, I'll cook."

He was really hungry, and his mother probably hadn't eaten either.

Anyway, let's make some rice porridge first to cushion our stomach.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heping went to the rice vat where the rice was placed, opened the lid and saw that it was empty.

I opened the noodle vat again, but it was still empty.

There is nothing to eat at home.

"Mom, there's nothing to eat at home? What do you usually eat?"

No wonder his mother has hypoglycemia. How long has it been since she has eaten?

When Xu Xiuying heard this, her expression changed. She clearly remembered that when she lay down sadly, there was still some rice and noodles at home, so why was there nothing left?

Could it be that someone from the courtyard stole her while she was sick?

But it was hard for her to talk about this matter just after her son came back.

So he spoke vaguely and said: "I have been lying down for several days and can't eat. I don't know that there is no food at home."

"Peace, please stop being busy. Wash your face and change your clothes."

"I'll give you food stamps and money. You go out and buy some rice and noodles and come back."

As he spoke, he reached out and turned under the mattress.

But as she turned over and over, her expression became even more wrong.

Why are the dozen dollars and some food stamps she had left gone?

Zhao Heping saw something was wrong.

"Mom, did someone steal our things?"

It's very courageous to dare to steal things while his mother is sad and sick.

Xu Xiuying couldn't hide it anymore, so she nodded and said, "Yes, the money and food stamps are gone."

"I remember there were 17 yuan and sixty-four cents, and three or four kilograms of food stamps."

"It was always under my mattress, but it's gone."

This is all their family's savings.

Zhu Chunmei was beside her and said angrily: "Who is so wicked? Even stealing the money of the martyrs?"

"I'm not afraid of retribution for losing my conscience!"

"Peace, go to the yard and scold him. Even if the person who stole the money doesn't dare to admit it, you can still scold him!"

Zhao Heping didn't believe in retribution, and he was even less willing to curse. That was useless.

In his mind, he quickly went through the people in the courtyard.

Ordinary people can't do such a thing, so there are only two families who are suspicious.

One household belongs to Sun Baocai in the front yard. He was a steelworker at the No. 40 Steel Rolling Plant. His wife died of illness in his [-]s. In the second year of the three-year natural disaster, he married a daughter-in-law from the countryside, and also brought her to the countryside. Mother-in-law Yu Cuihua took over to live in the city.

The old lady's hands were usually unclean and she was used to taking advantage of her when visiting the house. She was spotted several times and was famous in the courtyard house.

There is another family in the backyard, Ma Xiangdong. The boy is sixteen or seventeen years old. Because he is the only boy in the family, he is overly pampered and does a lot of sneaky things.

But Zhao Heping was not at home, and he didn't know who of the two was responsible.

"Sister-in-law, forget about swearing."

"When the fifth master gets off work, I will tell the fifth master and ask him to hold a meeting to find out who stole my things."

The fifth master, whose surname is Ma, is the steward elected by the entire courtyard. He works as an adjuster at the No. [-] Steel Rolling Plant. He is usually fair and upright, and his work is convincing.

Asking him to come forward to hold a hospital-wide meeting would be considered as a shock. Zhao Heping wanted to see who could show off the lies between Yu Cuihua and Ma Xiangjun.

Zhu Chunmei nodded: "Okay, when Fifth Master comes back and holds a hospital-wide meeting, I will scold you for you."

"I want to see who can be so shameless."

She is a widow who has raised a child alone for several years and has developed a shrewd temperament.

Zhao Heping had seen her curse before, and no one could match her in her aura.

"Okay, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."

Zhao Heping thanked him.

If the other party can stand up and help him, he should keep this kindness in mind.

Zhu Chunmei smiled and waved her hands indifferently: "What's the trouble?"

"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We live across the street so close to each other, so we should take care of each other."

"Heping, it's you. How come you, a college student, became an educated youth and became so thin?"

This is too miserable.

He's so skinny.

It is estimated that few people will be able to recognize Zhao Heping when the whole hospital meets.

In particular, Zhao Heping graduated from high school. However, in this era, high school graduation is considered a high degree of education. People habitually refer to people who graduate from high school as college students.

Hearing Zhu Chunmei's words, Zhao Heping had not yet answered. Xu Xiuying, who was lying down, immediately said: "Heping, I blame my mother for being useless. I just don't feel comfortable lying down."

"Now that you have come all the way back, you can't even get a warm meal."

She is still quite emotionally unstable.

At this time, I felt sorry for myself again.

Zhao Heping quickly comforted: "Mom, it's okay. I still have a little money on me. I'm going to buy some rice and noodles."

After speaking, he turned to Zhu Chunmei and said, "Sister-in-law, please look after my mother. I will be back in a moment."

He had a few dollars and a few kilograms of food stamps on him, which his mother had given him when he left.

This year, he hid it and refused to move.

That is, on the way back, I used it a little bit.

Fortunately, I didn't want to use it, so I could use it for emergencies at critical moments.

Said turning around to leave.

However, he was stopped by Zhu Chunmei.

"Peace, you are probably tired all the way back, and you still have a wound on your head. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Isn't it just a little food? I also have two-faced pancakes and half a plate of stir-fried vegetables. If you don't mind, I will bring them over warmly."

"Eat first, then take a rest after eating."

"You can only deal with your father's matters next if you have enough energy."

"Then take on the responsibility of a family, what do you think?"

She said it sincerely, and Xu Xiuying felt sorry for her son, so she quickly said: "Yes, Heping, your sister-in-law is right."

"As for your father's pension, I need you to go to the street to go through the formalities and then submit it."

"The street also has to arrange work for you, and you have to deal with these."
