Reborn as a widow in the 70s

After Lu Aiguo took his family to have lunch at a state-owned hotel, he originally wanted to take them to the park to play, but because the weather was too hot, Song Xiuxiu really didn't want to go.

When the man saw that she was indeed not very interested, he didn't force her and immediately asked, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Song Xiuxiu: "I want to go to the bookstore. On the one hand, I want to buy some learning materials I need to use, and on the other hand, I want to buy a book on flower farming."

"To be honest, every time I see the flowers in the yard, I feel very worried, because I am afraid that I will not be able to grow them well!"

"Okay, let's go to the bookstore in the afternoon!" Lu Aiguo said.

In this special era, the most leisurely job is to be a bookstore salesperson!

In addition to some limited learning materials, today's bookstores basically include quotations or some designated books, with very few types.

Lu Aiguo and Song Xiuxiu walked into the bookstore with their two children. Except for two younger salesmen, there was not a single customer in the entire store.

Seeing a customer come in, the two salesmen raised their eyelids and took a look, then continued chatting on their own.

Song Xiuxiu was not restrained and walked straight to the bookshelf and started to select the books she needed.

Lu Aiguo took his two children to the children's book section.

Although there are not many types of books, fortunately, there are books that Song Xiuxiu needs.

Finally, she bought two books on flower farming and some learning materials before going to the counter to check out.

Lu Aiguo and his two children also selected the books they wanted to buy, all of which were comic books and comic books.

Although Yaya doesn't know much about reading, fortunately there is Zhao Xuewen who likes to read the above story to her, so the two children still treasure this kind of book!

Although reading is not taken seriously nowadays, the price of books is not low.

Song Xiuxiu didn't even feel distressed when she bought a cartload of things in a department store just now, but now these books in her and her children's hands really made her feel distressed!

By the time the family drove back to the compound, it was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Aiguo moved everything home one by one, while Song Xiuxiu went to the kitchen to arrange dinner.

Zhao Xuewen took the basket and Yaya to the vegetable garden, ready to pick some vegetables.

Since it was time to get off work, there were many people coming and going. Everyone saw that Captain Lu’s family had bought a cart full of things. Therefore, Captain Lu’s lover Song Xiuxiu lived a luxurious life, and the gossip about not knowing how to live quickly became It spread in the courtyard.

Song Xiuxiu didn't have time to go out these two days. She had been making quilts and curtains.

After they arrived, Lu Aiguo borrowed a few new quilts from the logistics department.

Although it was new, Song Xiuxiu always felt uncomfortable covering it, so the first thing she needed to do was to make a quilt.

For the convenience of family members, the quilt factory in the compound is also responsible for sewing cotton for everyone, but it requires extra charges.

On the day the cotton was bought back, Lu Aiguo moved thirty kilograms of cotton over. After paying the money, he specifically asked to hurry up!

Now the gossip about Song Xiuxiu in the courtyard became even more popular!

In all these years, who has seen a single quilt weighing six or seven pounds per bed, or a double quilt weighing ten pounds per bed?

And everyone in the family has two quilts, one thick and one thin!

This is simply too difficult to live with!

Although the living conditions in the compound are much better than those in the countryside, in this era of scarcity, having two thick quilts per family is considered a luxury!

So Song Xiuxiu suddenly became a negative example of those in the family compound who were greedy for pleasure and lived a luxurious life!

Usually in the evening, many family members who are not at work will gather in the open space in front of the auditorium.

There is a big willow tree there, and everyone likes to sit under the tree, enjoy the shade, chat, and do some needlework.

A group of women gathered together, and naturally the head of the host family, the Li family, gossiped.

While talking, someone mentioned Song Xiuxiu's lavish lifestyle.

"I heard from others that Captain Lu's wife is also from the countryside. Why doesn't she look like her! She looks like a city girl!"

"If you are willing to spend money to support yourself like she is, you will look like a city person!"

"I can't bear it. There are a lot of children at home, and my hometown has to send money back every month. How can I have enough money to dress myself up? Besides, if I spend money like her, my man won't beat me to death! "

"I don't know whether I'll beat you to death, but divorce is for sure! I heard that Captain Lu's wife bought several boxes of cream alone, as well as other hair oils, shampoos, soaps, etc. Hug me home like money!"

"Dear me, how much does that cost? No wonder that little face is so tender, it turns out that it was all piled up with money!"

"It's not just these! I also saw that I bought a lot of snacks! Malted milk, chicken cakes, snacks, and fruit candies were all bought in packs at home! I heard others said that Captain Lu also went to serve He asked when bread and cream cakes would be available, and he said he must leave some for his family!"

"My mother! His wife is so lucky! Why don't I have such a good life!"

"You don't look at how handsome he is. Look at you, you look like a man with your hair cut!"

"It's useless to be handsome! I couldn't give birth to a son, so I gave birth to a daughter! And if she spends money so lavishly, Commander Lu will have to divorce her sooner or later!"

Hearing these chatty women talking more and more, Wang Guilan couldn't help but said: "How people live their lives is none of your business! No matter how Xiu Xiu spends her money, whether she can have a son or not, Captain Lu has not yet What are you talking about, you are just making irresponsible remarks here, are you greedy for looking at other men?"

As soon as Wang Guilan finished speaking, several other women quit and shouted angrily: "Wang Guilan, don't support me here. Just because she doesn't know how to spend money carefully, sooner or later Commander Lu will abandon her." , I don’t know how long she can live here!”

"That is, if you offend us for someone who has only lived here for a short time, you must decide whether it is worth it or not!"

Just when everyone was talking about it, Wang Guilan saw Lu Aiguo coming back from get off work from a distance and coming towards this way!

"I don't know how long they can live here and whether they will be abandoned by their own men. Don't make blind guesses. Let's just ask the person involved!" Wang Guilan said loudly.

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look where Wang Guilan was looking. When they saw Lu Aiguo walking over, everyone tacitly shut their mouths!

This time Wang Guilan didn't give up. She hurriedly called Lu Aiguo and said, "Commander Lu, come here quickly. We guys have something to ask you!"

Lu Aiguo came over confused and asked, "Sisters-in-law, what do you want to see me for?"

Just as Wang Guilan was about to speak, someone on the side said: "Wang Guilan, don't be stupid! We were just talking for fun!"

Wang Guilan sneered and said, "I'm just joking. When I looked at you just now, it didn't look like you were joking!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Guilan said to Lu Aiguo: "Captain Lu, let me ask you on behalf of everyone, when do you plan to divorce your wife?"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo frowned slightly and asked, "Why should I divorce my wife?"

Wang Guilan glanced at the people who were gossiping just now, and then said angrily: "Because Xiuxiu doesn't know how to live, she spends money lavishly, and she doesn't know how to give birth to a son!"
