From Cultivator to Widow

Su Hui found a lot of books related to medicine, and she had to put together a set of textbooks. From junior high school to high school, there were a dozen of the latest newspapers, two cabinets, a box, an incense burner, a small copper tripod, A large urn, and some calligraphy and paintings. She couldn't tell whether these paintings were made by famous people, but she also used a brush in the world of self-cultivation. stand up.

Generally speaking, these are criticized now, but if the peaceful and prosperous times are restored, gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times will come in handy at that time.

After Su An had picked out the books, she put the textbooks and the little people's books that were allowed to be released on the top. The uncle gave the scales according to these, and calculated the price uniformly. Su An also borrowed a small cart and pushed it to the place where no one was there. Places to go, only to put these into the mustard space.

Next, it was getting late. Su An tidied up her bags. The reason she came to the city was to come to the city to organize the textbooks. She said that she wanted to take a junior high school diploma to convince the public. , She wanted to come to the city to look for it, and Zhang Chengye wrote her a letter of introduction, so she naturally had to bring the corresponding book back to cover up her eyes and ears.

On the way back in the car, Su An saw a familiar figure, her eyes narrowed slightly. Isn't that person Xie Rui?

Xie Rui also recognized her and said hello, "Sister Su."

The corners of Su Hui's mouth twitched. As long as she was older than herself, she would call her eldest sister, it's really...

"Xie Zhiqing, you also come to the city." Noticing his large package, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you going home to visit relatives?"

Xie Rui shook his head: "No, my home is in the capital. I came here to have relatives and friends here to visit." Then this package was the New Year gift package given to him by his relatives and friends.

It seems that Zhao Xialan is right, his family is good, and there are relatives and friends here who can take care of him.

Xie Rui naturally chatted with Su Anpan.

They sit in the front and back seats so they don't seem too intimate.

"You can just call me Comrade Su. I think people outside call it that." Su An really doesn't want to accept this title. If she counts her age of the third generation, of course it's okay to be called eldest sister, but in the world of self-cultivation After that, she built the foundation is just a baby, the name of the big sister can be heard less than once.

"Okay, Comrade Su, why did Comrade Su come to the city? I saw it once when I was dividing the fish, otherwise I wouldn't know it was from the same village." Xie Rui is young, only 17 this year, and said this with a smile It's hard not to feel good about it.

Su An was eleven years older than him, and she was already the mother of four children, so Xie Rui started talking naturally, not as cold and polite as in front of girls of the same age.

If it is a girl of the same age, he has to keep a distance.

"Come to the city to buy some things. It's New Year's Eve, is Xie Zhiqing also coming to buy some New Year's goods?"

Xie Rui smiled: "Yes, the things in the city are more complete than in the town."

He took out a handful of candies from the package: "My uncle gave me this, for your children."

Su An didn't want it, although she felt that she was not old, but looking at the young man, she was really an elder.

"Eat it yourself, you're not too old."

"I have graduated from high school." Xie Rui laughed. At his age, many people are married.

"I think it's true. It's hard to buy these things in the countryside. You keep it and eat one when you're hungry." This kind of candy is not available in town.

In the end, Su An accepted his candy, but returned a package of snacks.

Su An and Xie Rui chatted, and they mentioned the aspect of study. After knowing that she intends to obtain a higher degree, he agrees.

It is always useful to learn a little more, and she is a teacher, and the higher the education, the more convincing she is.

He also said that if she has any questions, she can ask him at any time. He has just graduated and still has a strong memory of high school knowledge.

Su An expressed her gratitude. She probably flipped through the books in junior high school. The language was easy to say, but she could not guarantee that she would remember mathematics.

Xie Rui, who had a natural affection for her as a military widow, had a higher impression of her.

People who like to be motivated have always been the type he admires.

Su An accepted the candy he gave, but he took out a small packet of snacks for him.

Su Hui didn't bring too many things, except for books, just some New Year's goods. It was not as eye-catching as Xie Rui's large package. They returned to the town together, walked back to the village together, and dispersed at the entrance of the village. The home is not in the same direction.

Moreover, Su Hui deliberately avoided the villagers, and Xie Rui also thought so. Although there was nothing shameful in his package, it was easy to arouse the jealousy of others.

Go separately, the goal will be smaller.

When Su Hui went back, Zhang Baoguo had already cooked the sweet potatoes. He could cook, although not much, but he was still able to add water, miscellaneous grains, and sweet potatoes to the pot.

Seeing her come back, the four children were relieved.

Zhang Baoguo: "Mom, it will be dark if you don't come back."

Su An put down her things: "If it gets dark, just light the lamps, don't be afraid of wasting lamp oil."

She took out a handful of candy: "This is given to you by an educated youth brother you met on the road, you two each."

There's candy again!

The four children looked at the packaging they had never seen before and carefully picked it up.

Get the candy, the temperament of the 4 children can also be seen from their reactions.

Zhang Baoguo cherished the two candies he got. He glanced at the beautiful wrapping paper, untied it carefully, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and rolled it carefully, not wanting to eat too fast, showing a satisfied smile.

Zhang Weiguo took the two of his own, and without looking at it, he unwrapped one and put it in his mouth, crunching and chewing.

He felt that it was safest to eat good things right away.

Zhang Anguo got it but didn't eat it. He took it back to his room and put it under his pillow.

Zhang Dingguo held the candy, instead of putting it in his mouth, he licked it in small bites. Su An ignored them and stopped Zhang Anguo.

"Have you finished eating the candy before? Keep it there, be careful to attract mice." Although there are no mice in the house now, she can't guarantee that there will always be no mice. More importantly, when he puts it there, the baby's day will be counted. It's okay to do it three times. Once she fell asleep and was accidentally hit by a candy that rolled out.

Zhang Anguo's small face became a ball, and it was not safe under the pillow, so where should it be placed?

Su An returned to the kitchen, opened the pan and glanced at the sweet potato miscellaneous grains in the pot, added a handful of firewood, knocked two eggs, put them on a plate and put them on top to make steamed eggs.

Zhang Baoguo and the others followed her and asked her, "Mom, how is the city?"

"Is the house very high and high, with a lot of people?"

"Aren't all their clothes unpatched?"

"Can they eat meat all the time?"

Children have boundless curiosity about the legendary city, and the four of you are talking to each other, Su Hui looked at their innocent looking faces and touched them one by one: "Don't worry, I will answer you one by one, Next time my mother will take you to go shopping in the city."

Hearing her say this, the four children cheered: "Really? Can we go to the city?"

"Yes, as long as you are obedient, but don't tell it first, we won't be able to go after we tell it."

"We will never say it!!" In order to express their determination, Zhang Anguo and Zhang Dingguo covered their mouths, revealing only a pair of big eyes blinking.

…

The next day was a sunny day. Zhao Xialan was patient, washed what should be washed at home, and took it out to dry in the sun. After finishing it, he came to chat with Su An.

She was equally curious, she didn't go much to the town, let alone the city.

Su An focused on describing the shopping mall there, listening to those things she had only heard of, or had never heard of, Zhao Xialan couldn't hide her envy on her face.

"I also want to go to the city to open my eyes."

"There will be a chance."

Zhao Xialan sighed. It was enough to cut a few pounds of meat for the round trip fee alone. How could she be willing? The round trip fee was more than two yuan, and a pound of meat was only 7 cents. , that's 20 pounds, and you can eat it for a long time with less.

Su An also understands this point, the villagers really have no means of income when it comes to money, so they changed the subject: "I also met Xie Zhiqing on the way back, the new educated youth you told me when I was dividing the fish. , said a few words, it seems that others are good."

"No, my sister-in-law has inquired about him."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xialan is refreshed. Her sister-in-law is also a good person, with a round face and a tall figure. She is a good worker in the field and at home. She is a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of many mothers-in-law. Very tall, her mother-in-law said that many people didn't like it, but now she took the initiative to inquire about Xie Zhiqing. She didn't say anything on the face, but privately felt that there was little hope.

"But he looks like a different family than us." However, her sister-in-law is not so sensible. In her eyes, Xie Zhiqing took root in their village, and he came from the capital with his own natural filter. He is a good-looking high school student who makes people feel inferior. If he can marry him, he might be able to follow him to the capital.

Su An agreed. She also felt that she was not from the same world, but it was not because she was an educated youth who did not marry the locals. It was fate.

While talking, someone shouted outside: "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, are you there?"

Su Hui always closed the courtyard door and couldn't push it open from the outside.

Su Hui went out to see that it was her uncle Zhang Gui, accompanied by her uncle's eldest son Zhang Jinhua and eldest daughter Zhang Fenghua.

How did they come?
