Rebirth in the Great Era: Ordinary Years

Chapter 36 Invitation to Shaoan

Hearing Wang Manyin's question, Shaoan drank the remaining wine in his glass first, then wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, and said sincerely: "Brother-in-law, I admire you!"

Wang Manyin blinked quickly a few times, "And then?"

"It's just admiration." Shaoan said affirmatively, "I know what the pigeon market is. Brother-in-law, you can support a pigeon market. I really admire you."

As he spoke, he sighed, "I know what you mean, brother-in-law. Our hands and feet have been tied tightly for the past few years, and we can't do anything else."

"Although Pigeon Market is against the law, I think it is necessary for us rural people."

"That's why I said I admire you."

Wang Manyin nodded in relief, picked up a chopstick to scramble eggs for him, and said solemnly: "I want you to follow me."

Sun Shaoan was taken aback, put down the wine glass in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Manyin didn't make him rush to reply, "This matter is not a trivial matter. You should seriously consider it after you go back. I can't guarantee if it's too much. It will make you at least yuan a month. You can think about it for yourself."

Shaoan didn't know when he left the yard of Wang Manyin's house. He seemed to lose his sense of the outside world, his whole brain was spinning at high speed, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

He was walking on the way back to Shuangshui Village. It was already dark at night, and there were few stars in the sky. The cold evening wind hit his face, dispelling some alcohol.

He was in infinite entanglement. After thinking for a while, he simply got into a piece of dry land, sat on the ridge of the field and looked at the Shuangshui Village below.

Shuangshui Village is still the Shuangshui Village in memory, nothing has changed, there are scattered fires in the village, and the barking of dogs can be heard endlessly.

To be honest, his proposal to Wang Manyin was quite exciting, no one would want to do things that make money.

People in this era attach great importance to reputation, and once the reputation is bad, they will not be able to marry a wife at all. Even if they marry a wife, the children born will be judged by others.

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Shaoan became, and the cigarettes in his hand were rolling one after another.

"Brother Shao'an!"

Suddenly, a familiar shout appeared next to his ear, which gave him a good start.

Sun Shaoan shuddered, as if he had been caught doing something bad. He came back to look at the newly dressed Run Ye, and said angrily, "Run Ye, you scared me to death."

After speaking, he felt a little depressed. His childhood sweetheart, Run Ye, now wears exquisite clothes every day, his braids are shiny, and his face is also fair and clean, which makes him feel afraid to approach her.

These are all the shame and self-esteem that a young man should have.

"Hey, Brother Shao'an, I knew it was you when I saw the back. What are you doing here?"

After saying that, Run Ye didn't mind being dirty, so she sat directly beside him, and when she sat down, she found a small cloth bag next to her, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Shaoan glanced at it, oh, and replied casually: "Just now I went to my brother-in-law's house, and when I gave it away, I forced ten catties of white flour."

"It seems that Sister Lanhua has found a good man."

Therefore, I can't realize how precious the ten catties of white flour are.

Shaoan is a smart man, he knew what Runye was thinking, he sighed again in his heart, and became more and more impatient with this rotten life.

He shook his head and said, "Run Ye, you should go home quickly, we two are sitting here alone, we don't dare to let the villagers gossip."

"What gossip? We two brothers and sisters are upright, and they talk as much as they like." Runye didn't care at all, she only felt happy staying with her brother Shao'an, and didn't think about anything else.

She hasn't thought about the future, let alone spend the rest of her life with Shao'an, she hasn't realized it yet.

Run Ye and Shao An have the same idea, and they still think of each other as brother and sister.

Shaoan shook his head amusedly, and didn't say any more.

The two chatted casually, and Runye found that he was not in a good mood, and immediately asked, "Brother Shao'an, what difficulties have you encountered, tell me, and I will help you out."

"There's nothing difficult, but I'm a little tired after working in the mountains for a day." Shao'an said perfunctorily, but his heart became heavier, and Run Ye brought him a sense of gap.

Run Ye pouted, a little unhappy, she felt that Brother Shao'an was not telling the truth.

The two chatted for a while, Shaoan couldn't calm down to think, so he got up, patted his buttocks, picked up the cloth bag and left.

When he got home, the old man Sun Yuhou, who was smoking a dry cigarette, immediately asked, "Did you borrow it?"

Shao'an glanced at the dirty and tattered sheep's belly towel on his father's head, and felt a pain in his heart again. The family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy a sheep's belly towel.

He nodded, "Yes, my brother-in-law directly lent us fifteen yuan, and asked me to bring back ten catties of white noodles for grandma to eat."

Sun Yuhou was stunned for a moment, exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and said: "The Chinese New Year pig will be paid back as soon as it is sold, and the two families should move around more in the future."

Shaoan nodded, handed the cloth bag to his mother Xu Hui, and went back to a nearby earthen cave.

The cave dwelling was made by themselves. It is quite rough, without even a window. The pigpens of other people’s houses are not so dilapidated, but there is no way.

Shaoan was lying on the bed, looking at the dark kiln roof, recalling the scenes in the past, and his heart became heavier. He always wanted to make the situation of the family prosperous, but the result was that it was getting worse and worse.

A burst of anger rose out of nowhere in my heart, and it burned more and more intensely, as if it was about to rush out of my chest and burn this world to nothingness.

After a long time, he spat out a few words through his teeth: "I'm afraid of begging, no matter how poor I am, I can only look like this."
