Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

In the kitchen, separated by a door, Yu Ping was leaning against the wall and could hear the conversation between the couple clearly.

Li Youcai asked her to find a way to find out which doctor sold Chu Xinyan to Qiao Honglan.

After Yu Ping came back, she thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Her parents-in-law are not people who are so easily fooled.

"Ping, is the hot water ready? I need to make tea." Qiao Honglan's voice came from inside the house.

Yu Ping lifted the lid of the pot and replied, "Okay, I'm filling the thermos with water."

Yu Ping used a ladle to pour the boiling water into the thermos and entered the east room.

"Mom, the hot water is ready."

"You should be more quick-handed next time. It takes you so long to boil water. When that damn girl was at home, I didn't need to say these words." Qiao Honglan pouted.

Ever since she took the money from Chu Xinyan, Qiao Honglan has become even more domineering at home.

He became increasingly disdainful of this second-hand and older daughter-in-law.

I always feel that Yu Ping, as a second marriage, is not worthy of his eldest son, and she can't even hold her head up in the brigade.

The most important thing is that Chu Gensheng and Yu Ping have been married for such a long time, but there is no movement in Yu Ping's belly, not even an egg. This makes Qiao Honglan even more suspicious that there is something wrong with Yu Ping's stomach and that it is a burden to their family.

Hearing this, Yu Ping remained silent.

But in his heart, he hated Qiao Honglan more and more.

You old lady, you will cry sooner or later!

"Mom, we're running out of oil again. Do you want to buy some tomorrow, or should I?" Yu Ping rarely sees a penny in this family. She even has to ask Qiao Honglan for money to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

"Didn't I tell you to use less oil when cooking, but you just wouldn't listen? You eat so much, how can anyone afford it?"

After scolding Yu Ping, Qiao Honglan wanted to say that she would go buy it, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered that she had to pretend to be sick tomorrow.

Compared to buying oil, it is obviously more important to cheat money from Chu Xinyan.

So Qiao Honglan reluctantly reached into her arms and fumbled under her armpit for a long time before she took out a handkerchief.

He counted out three yuan from the bill and handed it to Yu Ping: "Buy five kilograms of oil, and remember to bring back the remaining money."

"understood."

Yu Ping took the money as usual, but she was cursing in her heart, what kind of life is this!

Qiao Honglan was not without money. Yu Ping could see the blue scroll of "Great Unity" clearly.

To put it bluntly, Qiao Honglan did this just to guard against her.

After leaving the east room, Yu Ping came to the yard outside alone.

The couple just discussed how to cheat Chu Xinyan's money, and Yu Ping was wondering whether to inform Li Youcai.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Ping gave up the idea of ​​going to the county town to inform Li Youcai.

After all, she hasn't found the doctor who sold the child yet. At worst, after Chu Xinyan gets better tomorrow, she will find a chance to tell her mother that she was faking illness.

The next day was Sunday and the kindergarten was closed.

Literacy classes are also not open.

Li Youcai walked out of the toilet with his pants held up. Since they had this indoor bathroom at home, his family no longer had to run outside to use the toilet in the smelly summer and cold winter.

After getting dressed, Li Youcai picked up his briefcase and said, "Duoduo, Dad is going to work. Say goodbye to Dad."

"Dad, when you come back in the evening, can you buy me some more cake?" Duoduo climbed up from the kang and ran towards Li Youcai.

"Of course, my dear daughter, whatever you want to eat, daddy will buy it for you." Li Youcai kissed Duoduo on her smooth little face.

"Thank you dad."

"Okay, Dad has to go to work." Li Youcai put Duoduo down.

"Goodbye, Dad." Duoduo was extremely happy knowing that there would be cake to eat in the evening again.

Chu Xinyan finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen.

"Drive slowly on your way to work. I'll make you whatever you want to eat in the evening." Chu Xinyan said.

"Let's make some shredded potatoes with vinegar and stew some pork ribs. I haven't eaten them for a long time." Li Youcai thought for a while and said.

Chu Xinyan smiled and nodded: "Then I will go to the commune to buy ribs later."

Chu Xinyan sent Li Youcai out of the house and watched his figure disappear outside the courtyard gate.

As soon as I got back to the house, Duoduo started clamoring to watch TV.

In order to let Duoduo be quiet for a while, Chu Xinyan turned on the TV, and she picked up the laundry basin and prepared to wash all the dirty clothes of Li Youcai in the past few days.

outside.

After Li Youcai left home, he walked towards the bus stop on the road outside the brigade.

Li Youcai, who never looked back, did not notice that in the opposite direction of the road, his father-in-law was hiding behind a fence, watching him leave.

After what happened last time, Chu Laoer and his family all knew that Li Youcai looked down on them.

That's why he deliberately waited until Li Youcai left before going into the yard to find Chu Xinyan.

After a while, Li Youcai walked out of the team. After his figure completely disappeared from Chu Laoer's sight, he slipped out and strode into Li Youcai's yard.

Open the door of the big brick house.

Chu Xinyan was adding water to the laundry basin in the kitchen. When she opened the door, she saw her father, Chu Laoer, walking in.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Your mother misses you and asked me to come see you." Chu Laoer deliberately acted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and then waited for Chu Xinyan's question.

Sure enough, Chu Xinyan, who was completely unprepared, immediately took the bait.

"What about my mom? Why didn't she come?"

Ever since Chu Xinyan returned to her parents' home last time, her relationship with the second eldest son of the Chu family, Qiao Honglan, has eased a little.

According to Chu Xinyan's idea, as long as her parents don't make a fuss like last time, she will pay them a little living expenses every month, and it would be nice to maintain this family relationship.

Chu Lao Er deliberately prolonged the tone: "Your mother..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"Your mother can't come. She fell down while working in the fields a few days ago and injured her legs and waist. Now she can only lie on the kang."

"How could he fall so badly while working in the fields?" Chu Xinyan was a little incredulous.

She has been working in the farmland to earn work points since she was a child. From picking up manure and cutting grass for pigs to turning the soil, planting seedlings, fertilizing and weeding, Chu Xinyan has done it all. She has never heard of anyone falling so badly while working in the fields.

"I'm old, and my arms and legs are too old to fall." Chu Lao Er rolled his eyes.

"Have you seen a doctor?" Chu Xinyan asked.

"The doctor at the commune checked her out and told her to eat more nutritious food to nourish her body. He also prescribed some nourishing medicine. I saw some donkey-hide gelatin, which is quite expensive. It costs a lot of money."

After saying that, Chu Lao Er looked at Chu Xinyan and said, "We used the money you left last time to pay off our debts. Now there is less than ten yuan left at home, which is not enough to buy medicine. Can you give us some more money? It doesn't have to be too much, three or four hundred will be fine."

Isn’t three or four hundred yuan a lot?

The money I earned from selling myself was only two hundred yuan!
