Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

"Grandpa Zhang, why are you here so late?" Qi Hengyuan asked in a low voice. He glanced behind him cautiously and invited him in after finding that there was no one else.

Zhang Quanliang waved his hand and said, "I won't go in. You can take these two eggs and give them to Mr. Chen."

Mr. Chen is one of the decentralized personnel living here. He was once a highly respected traditional Chinese medicine expert in Beijing. He was transferred here after being reported by students as engaging in the Four Olds.

Qi Hengyuan's father and Mr. Chen were good friends, and the two of them moved forward and backward. In order to facilitate the care, Qi Hengyuan brought the two of them to the Qinghe Brigade together.

This place is remote and far away from the capital, so it is convenient to avoid surveillance and persecution at home.

One time, Zhang Changming suddenly fainted. Mr. Chen saw him and rescued him. Zhang Quanliang was very grateful to Mr. Chen. Hearing that Mr. Chen was ill this time, he came to visit.

Qi Hengyuan took the eggs. The food here is very poor and they have to work every day. Mr. Chen and the others are old and not in good health, so they need to supplement their nutrition.

"By the way, Grandpa Zhang, I have to go out tomorrow. Please help me take care of my father and Mr. Chen."

He wanted to go back to the capital to find out some things.

Zhang Quanliang nodded, "Go ahead and pay attention to your own safety.".

Zhang Quanliang is well-educated and literate. He respects the old doctors, old professors and old chiefs who were decentralized. He does not look down on them like some people in the village. On the contrary, he gets along well with them. When arranging work, I also take more care of it.

In the morning, Meng Xiaoman opened the door. There was already a thick layer of snow on the ground, and there were ice skates as thick as a finger hanging under the eaves.

Meng Xiaoman took a broom to sweep away the snow in the yard, and then swept a path outside the door. Met Sister Fang who was also clearing snow.

"Xiaoman, do you want to go to the market? I heard there is fish for sale today. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I just need to prepare some new year's goods."

There are not many opportunities like this, Meng Xiaoman immediately agreed.

In addition to supplying the fish ponds of Xinghu Brigade to the supply and marketing cooperative, the remaining fish ponds, which are not of good quality, are also sold in rural markets. The money sold is also the collective income.

When Meng Xiaoman and Sister Fang set out, they met many people along the way. In addition to people like Xiao's mother, there were also many people from educated youth spots.

There were more people in the village, but Meng Xiaoman didn't recognize them.

If it weren't for the wrong atmosphere, Meng Xiaoman would have thought they were fighting together.

"Xiaoman, isn't that your mother-in-law? Why don't you go over and say hello?" Sister Fang said.

"It's better to say goodbye. I'm with my mother-in-law and the others. We have nothing to say. Even if we talk, we won't have anything nice to say. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It would be bad if she gets angry." Meng Xiaoman said.

"Okay," Sister Fang said, "but having said that, your second sister-in-law and your mother-in-law have a pretty good relationship."

On the other end, Zhou Xinghua didn't know what she said, which made Xiao's mother hug her arm and smile happily.

Meng Xiaoman took one look and said, "It's true that the second sister-in-law is really good at this, I have to accept it."

"I think you can actually do it, but you just don't want to." Sister Fang said that she had known Meng Xiaoman for a while and found that she was a very transparent girl. She just didn't want to waste time talking about interpersonal relationships. It’s just Kung Fu.

"Maybe I'm too lazy. I don't want to talk about the shortcomings of those parents every day. It's boring." Meng Xiaoman said.

When Sister Fang heard what she said, she sounded old-fashioned and couldn't help but smile: "Look at what you said, as if you have gone through many hardships in life. Hey, why is there a little girl over there who keeps looking at you? Do you know her?"

Meng Xiaoman followed Sister Fang's eyes and found that it was Shen Jiaojiao who was an educated youth.

When Shen Jiaojiao saw Meng Xiaoman looking over, she actually gave her a sweet smile. Seeing Meng Xiaoman's cleverness, she subconsciously raised her guard: What is the second female lead going to do?

It's not because Meng Xiaoman is so vigilant, but if he meets the second female lead, he will be in trouble.

After all, she actually walked over to him.

"Xiaoman, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Caixia and the others will take leave to celebrate the New Year in their hometown in a while. We all want to get together before the New Year. Do you want to come? You have been away from the educated youth spot for so long and have never come back to see us. Everyone We all miss you very much, and if you didn’t come, we would definitely not have a happy gathering.”

"Although I am also an educated youth, I have not lived in the educated youth spot for long, and I am not familiar with everyone. When I went there, everyone was unhappy."

"How could it be? Although you have left the school, everyone will still remember you. We, the educated youth, will always be a big family."

Meng Xiaoman rolled his eyes, a big family that stabbed each other?

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. As you know, I have a family. I have a lot to do at home, so I may not be free. If I am free, I will go over." Meng Xiaoman said perfunctorily.

"Then you must be free, we are waiting for you."

After Shen Jiaojiao finished speaking, she returned to the group of educated youths.

There were many more people setting up stalls and going to the market than in the past. Before Meng Xiaoman had time to take a closer look, she was pulled by Sister Fang and pushed towards the area with the most people.

"How many fish do you want to buy?" Sister Fang asked while pulling her into the crowd.

"Three or four?" Meng Xiaoman said.

"Get your money and basket ready, and be sure to cover your wallet so it doesn't get touched." Sister Fang nimbly got into the crowd and pulled Meng Xiaoman's arm in.

Meng Xiaoman also squeezed in every possible opportunity. At this time, she didn't care about her image, and her shoes were almost stepped on before she squeezed in.

A large flat raincloth was filled with fish that were frozen hard, including grass carp, carp, silver carp and black fish.

Fish is much cheaper than pork, costing three cents per catty.

Seeing that the quality of the fish was good, Meng Xiaoman picked two grass carp, two silver carp and one black fish. Grass carp and silver carp weighed about three kilograms each, and black fish weighed more than four kilograms. The total cost was less than five yuan.

After buying the fish, Meng Xiaoman saw someone selling pickled sauerkraut and bought another two kilograms of sauerkraut, planning to go back and make sauerkraut fish to eat. Thinking that meat is indispensable during the Chinese New Year, I bought some ginger, garlic, and pepper.

I picked and picked all the way until I filled up all the backpacks I brought with me.

When Sister Fang met her, she was shocked when she saw the protruding panniers on her back and said, "Oh my God, what did you buy for this? Why did you get so many plastic surgery?"

"Fish, sauerkraut, condiments, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, sweet potato vermicelli. I saw someone selling dried kelp, so I bought some more kelp and a few pieces of tofu. I kept buying and selling, and that's all I got." Meng Xiao Man said one by one, they are actually some things used in daily cooking.

Sister Fang clicked her tongue after hearing this. He was really a rich man. "Xiaoman, what I said may be a bit unpleasant. Although you are from the city and have a lot of money, you can't spend money like this. You see, these dried vegetables and mushrooms are available in the fields and mountains. You can just pick them, dry them, and keep them for eating. Like sweet potato powder, you can also take the sweet potatoes and hire someone to make them. A few kilograms of grain will be used as processing fees. That’s it, you can even pickle sauerkraut yourself. It’s not cost-effective to buy them all at the market.”

"It can still be like this, I don't even know. By the way, Sister Fang, can you tell me how to pickle sauerkraut? I'll learn from it and I won't spend any money on it next time." Meng Xiaoman quickly changed the subject. .

"This pickled sauerkraut is very simple..."
