Su Wen was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Not long after, a faint sound came from Xu Damao's house next door. Listening to the dull sound coming from the next door, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart. This sound made him unable to sleep.
Su Wen tossed and turned, trying to get rid of the interference of this voice. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sleep. His body began to heat up and his heart beat faster. He tried to control his emotions, but the overwhelming voice made it impossible for him to calm down. His heart beat faster and his body began to tremble.
He tried hard to stop, but the voice was like a powerful force that kept pulling him. Some pictures of Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu began to appear in his mind, and these pictures made him feel very stimulating and excited.
Su Wen began to pant, and his hands caressed his body involuntarily, trying to calm down his emotions. However, this voice was like a magic that he couldn't resist.
Finally, Su Wen left the bed and went to the courtyard to wash his face with cold water. After Su Wen washed his face, he felt that his mood was slightly more stable. He went back to bed and tried to fall asleep again, but soon the sound from next door started again.
Su Wen was irritated by the Mi Mi sound that sounded again, and he woke up instantly. He decided he couldn't stand the noise any longer and needed to take action.
After putting on clothes, he opened the door, picked up a handful of small stones in the yard, and threw them at Xu Damao's house, breaking several pieces of glass. Quickly running back to the room, Su Wen covered his head with a quilt, trying to calm himself down. He knew that what he had just done might have been a bit extreme, but he really didn't want to hear that melancholy voice again.
Su Wen lay on the bed and began to reflect on his behavior. He knew he couldn't solve the problem with violence, but that voice was too annoying.
Xu Damao and his wife were startled by the sound. They got up to check and found that three pieces of glass in their house had been smashed. He was very angry, cursed Silly Zhu, got dressed, and then blocked the window with a few old clothes. He also wanted to smash the glass of Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard, but Lou Xiao'e stopped him and asked him to report to the security department tomorrow.
The next day, Su Wen had lunch at the steel rolling mill and watched a big dog-eat-dog drama between Xu Damao and Silly Zhu. He was so excited that he got on the bicycle of the steel rolling mill and went to the countryside for shopping. When he came to the Cuizhuang Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he saw his sister-in-law when he entered the door. I am making bulk soy sauce for a fellow villager.
"Why is Xiaowen back today?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm bored being alone in the city. Come back and have a look. How do you feel about working in a supply and marketing cooperative?"
"It's very good. Not only is the work easy, but you can also buy some defective products without paying for it. By the way, what do you think about the engagement with the daughter of the Wang family? After you entered the city, the Wang family came to our house to pick it up. I want you to Get married as soon as possible."
"What else can you think about getting married? If you regret the marriage, your parents will be disgraced in the village. Although Qianqian has a rural registered permanent residence, she is pretty."
"I asked about her study situation. She has no hope of getting into college. She has little chance of getting into technical secondary school. Her rural household registration is a big problem." In this era, you can take the technical secondary school entrance exam after graduating from junior high school, and you can also take the high school entrance exam. Specialize.
"Your brother will come to pick me and my little sister up in the afternoons these days. Wang Qianqian will also go to our house with him. It seems that she is also worried that you will not want her after you enter the city. She plans to live in our house forever."
"Are you so worried? If you can't, just get the certificate when you come back this time and have a wedding during the Spring Festival."
"Let's go home and discuss it with our parents."
"Wang Xiaona, is this your younger brother who has entered the city?" asked another salesperson sitting at the counter.
"Sister Wei, yes."
"Su Wen, this is Sister Wei. She has been taking good care of me since I came to work."
"Hello, Sister Wei."
"The young man is very energetic. He is willing to marry his fiancée from the country after entering the city. He is a good character."
Su Wen smiled awkwardly and blushed a little.
Sister Wei was even more happy when she saw it, "Xiao Na, your brother is a bit thin-skinned. You are blushing just by looking at it." Sister Wei laughed happily.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to go to school." Su Wen ran away quickly, leaving behind two women laughing.
When Wang Qianqian came home from school on the weekend, her mother told her that Su Wen had gone to the city to work as a worker and that she and Su Wen should get married before the end of the year. He also taught her some very embarrassing things. She was very grateful to Su Wen's family, who not only saved his father's life by borrowing money, but also provided money for her to continue studying in high school. She had a rural household registration, and she was given food rations when studying in high school. She ate steamed buns and black-faced steamed buns. They can save a third and take it home. In the past two years, natural disasters have made their family's life still very difficult.
Her mother told her that she hoped she could ask Su Wen for a gift of ten yuan so that she could marry her younger brother. She was also worried that Su Wen would not want to marry her after he went to work in the city.
She herself was also worried about whether Su Wen would marry her. Although she and Su Wen did not have an intimate relationship, she often stayed at Su Wen's house during the holidays. The villagers all agreed that she was Su Wen's wife. If Su Wen hadn't If you marry her, it will be difficult for her to find a good family to marry into.
Ever since the eldest sister-in-law of the Su family went to work at the supply and marketing cooperative on Monday, she started going to school. She went with the eldest brother of the Su family and stayed in the room of her younger sister Su Xiaoya at night. She didn't know when she would meet Su Wen and come home. Thinking of what her mother told her, she couldn't help but blush.
After school, Wang Qianqian and Su Xiaoya went to the supply and marketing cooperative together and saw Su Wen at the school gate.
"Second brother, you are back. Did you bring me something delicious?" Su Wen took out a pack of red shrimp cakes from the package he was carrying and gave it to her.
"Xiaoya, go find your sister-in-law at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll take Qianqian home first."
Wang Qianqian stood shyly in front of Su Wen, playing with the corner of her clothes in her hands, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Su Wen rode his bicycle and took Wang Qianqian back to the village. He was wearing too many winter clothes. On the way, Wang Qianqian hugged Su Wen's waist and pressed her face against his back. Su Wen didn't feel anything. It gets dark early in winter, it's cold outside, and the streets in the village are empty. Faint lights shone from the houses on both sides, adding a touch of warmth to this silent street.
Back at the old house, the parents had already prepared dinner and were waiting for the children to come home for dinner.
"Is the cafeteria in Dad's village closed?"
"It's closed. The food exchanged from the supply and marketing cooperative last time and the food saved in the village have been distributed. I can still hold on for a while longer by firing alone."
"Does the food at home have enough food? If not, I can replace the fine grains in my rations with coarse grains and bring them back."
"Your sister-in-law and three children all have food rations."
Su Wen felt relieved after hearing his father's words. He knows that during this difficult time, every morsel of food is important. He didn't want his family to starve because of him. Now that he heard his father say that the food at home was enough, he felt relieved.
