Lu Xueyan pulled Gu Mingtang and blinked her big, watery eyes, "Mom, from now on I can talk like this when I'm acting coquettishly with you: Mom, if Yanyan wants to eat candy, Yanyan will promise to only eat one piece, and Yanyan will also promise to eat it." Brush your teeth when you’re done.”
"Want some candy?" Gu Mingtang asked funny.
"Yanyan doesn't really want to eat it, but if you insist on giving it, mom, I can't refuse it." Lu Xueyan looked at Gu Mingtang expectantly.
"Why are you eating sweets? It's time to eat." At this moment, Gu Mingli came into the room with a bowl of radish and meatball soup and placed it on the Eight Immortals table. "Hurry and wash your hands."
The three children cheered and went down to put on their shoes and wash their hands.
The half-paved floor made of red bricks was very clean. Gu Mingtang basically spread the white snow from outside and swept it, so that it could be swept clean without dust and increase the humidity.
A wooden stool was placed next to the four chairs, and Gu Mingtang went to get the bowls and chopsticks.
After Gu Mingli brought Ermi rice in, she said, "Second sister, you really want to be the women's director. Let me tell you, it's not easy to be the women's director of our brigade. It's thankless and there are a lot of rags. It's not like now." I lived such a carefree life as a child."
She didn't like coming to her second sister's house before.
Now she even hopes that her second brother-in-law will not come back, so she can keep her second sister company.
Of course, it’s just a thought.
In fact, Gu Mingtang also found it troublesome.
He said, "Then I'll think about it."
It was mainly Ding Mei who did nothing today that offended her.
She really doesn't have any big feelings, she just wants to replace Ding Mei, who has been working for more than ten years.
Of course, these thoughts are fleeting.
The most important thing now is to make money, because she needs to buy too many things.
When Gangzi came, he hired a carriage again.
He really got Gu Mingtang a brand new and shiny permanent bicycle.
There is also a large wardrobe and a desk, both tied to the carriage with straw ropes.
"Sister, I have packed up this bicycle for you. I have maintained the chain and rims. I also got a semi-old air pipe for my second sister. Although it is not very easy to use, it is free and it is good to use. .”
It's not very cold outside today, the sky is blue, the sun is shining high, and the wind is not strong. Gu Mingtang looked at the legendary 28 big bar with curiosity, and pushed it around in the yard with excitement. Gangzi said, "Sister, you He is tall and has long legs, so he can learn quickly.”
"I can ride a bicycle." Gu Mingtang said and pushed the bicycle out. If it was Lu Liangzhou, he should be able to sit directly on the bicycle seat.
She stepped on the pedals first, and after pedaling a few times, she was about to fly into the car, but she ignored that the ground under her feet was snow, and fell to the ground before she could pedal.
Gangzi was so frightened that he ran over.
There were two children who came with me.
Gu Mingtang hurriedly stood up, asked the two children to stand beside him, and continued pedaling to get into the car.
This time it worked.
Not bad, the quality feels great.
The bicycle cost 190 yuan, and the bicycle ticket was 25 yuan. Gu Mingtang gave 220 yuan, and the furniture was carried in with the help of the bicycle owner and placed side by side on the north wall.
Although it is only two rooms, the area of the thatched house is more than 80 square meters, and the room is more than 50. It has a large wardrobe and bookcases, and it does not look crowded. On the contrary, the style is suddenly enhanced.
In the eyes of the driver, it is more beautiful than the rooms where people in the city live.
Gu Mingtang spent thirty yuan on two pieces of furniture. The car also had eggs and sausages made by the county meat factory. There was no shortage of meat, eggs, and milk now, but fresh vegetables were missing.
The north is not good at this.
In the end, the total cost was 288 yuan.
Gangzi also left some eggs and sausages, which he wanted to give to two families living in Xiangyang Commune.
Before leaving, Gangzi gave Lu Hui a flower ball that they didn't have.
Gu Mingtang smiled and asked Lu Hui to accept it, but he asked Gangzi, the all-powerful little salesman, if he could get two children's bicycles. The price was not limited.
Gangzi has never seen what a children's bicycle looks like.
Gu Mingtang went into the room and drew it on a piece of paper.
Gangzi took a look, patted the back of his head, and quickly told Gu Mingtang that he had seen it before, but it was an old one with the paint peeling off on the outside. He told Gu Mingtang that the county department store had received a new batch of bicycles after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he I'll keep an eye on it, and if I can't buy it, I'll find a way to find two old ones.
Old ones will do, but the quality at this time has nothing to say.
People from the Corps came in the afternoon and brought Lu Liangzhou's salary for last month to Gu Mingtang. Then the correspondent of the Corps asked Gu Mingtang to tell Captain Zhou that when they were waiting for spring plowing, they would send two cultivators to assist in production as in previous years. , However, the Corps will try to grow rice this year. I asked the brigade leader if he has any ideas. If so, he can go to the commune to sign up.
There is a large area of rice cultivation in the north, but the current yield is not high.
It seems that the yield per mu is only more than 500 kilograms.
Gu Mingtang probably needs to change to a new variety.
In 1978, it was time to propose the household responsibility system, which means that starting from this year, grain production will increase every year.
The correspondent was a young man in his twenties, with a round face, a cheerful appearance, and a smile all the time. Lu Hui and Lu Xueyan also knew him, and when they saw him coming in, they called Uncle Shen together.
Xiao Shen was also interested. When he entered the house, he first checked on the two children.
The two children are now different from the little pitiful people they used to be.
In the past, even if they had a good father but a bad mother, the child's mental state would not be good.
But now they are just like two little suns.
Gu Mingtang also likes to dress them up in colorful striped sweaters and denim pants, like foreign dolls in movies.
The living environment is good, the windows are bright, and there are two rectangular wooden troughs on the window sill. In one is a finger-long garlic seedling, and in the other is a cabbage with green sprouts sprouting.
I feel that it is enviable for two children to live in such an environment.
When the correspondent left, Gu Mingtang cut him a few slices of milk tofu. Xiao Shen was not polite, thanked Gu Mingtang with a smile and left briskly.
Gu Mingtang estimated that he must have come with a mission.
She didn't touch Lu Liangzhou's salary and kept it alone. Then I checked and found that I am really a good spender. I had more than a thousand yuan, and now I only have more than 600 points left.
Judging from the consumption power of this era, it can be considered a waste.
Gu Mingtang went to the brigade headquarters to convey the correspondent's words to the brigade leader. Lao Zhou ran to the commune non-stop. If he really wanted to have high-yielding rice, he would definitely plant it.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Gu Mingtang went to the Gu family.
Xiao Hai was the only one at home. He was frowning and doing the homework that Ah Hui had left for him. After asking, he found out that his eldest brother and his father had gone to Dahetao to fish.
As soon as Gu Mingtang turned around, he walked in the direction of Dahetao.
