Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Seeing Chu Xinyan remained silent, Chu Lao Er frowned and said unhappily, "Your mother is lying at home right now. If you don't believe me, come back with me and see if your mother has no medicine to take and can only lie there and endure it."

"Dad, that's not what I meant."

Chu Xinyan wiped her hands with her apron.

"I'll send Duoduo to his grandfather's house, and then go back with you."

"Then hurry up." Chu Lao Er urged.

Chu Xinyan left Chu Laoer to look after the house, and she picked up Duoduo, who was still watching TV, and went directly to her father-in-law Li Guanghu's house.

Chu Lao Er was alone in Li Youcai's house, and his eyes swept across the spacious and bright room.

New house, new furniture.

Even the walls are painted green.

"Even a TV is used. This Li Youcai must have made a lot of money!"

A TV set costs about 350 yuan with a ticket, and it is extremely difficult to get. It is simply not something that an ordinary family can afford. Even the dual-income families in the factories cannot afford it. Chu Laoer was jealous.

At this moment, he was the only one in the room, and Chu Lao Er began to look around the room.

I opened a drawer of a cabinet and found only some miscellaneous items such as needles and thread.

Close it, then open the second one, and there are still some miscellaneous items like pliers and scissors.

Close, then open...

Chu Laoer opened all the drawers in the house, but he didn't find the money he imagined.

No objects were found that could have hidden the banknotes.

Bang!

The door opened again, and Chu Xinyan came back after sending Duoduo away.

Chu Laoer immediately sat down on the edge of the kang and pretended that he had been watching TV.

After entering the door, Chu Xinyan called Chu Laoer and said, "Dad, let's go."

"Uh, okay."

Chu Laoer stood up. Seeing that Chu Xinyan was leaving without taking anything, he was worried that Chu Xinyan might not have brought any money. Wouldn’t that mean all their efforts would be in vain?

"Xinyan, don't forget to take the money. Your mother is waiting for you to give her money to buy medicine." Chu Laoer said.

Chu Xinyan already had money on her, so she hadn't thought too much about it before.

But when Chu Lao Er reminded her of this, Chu Xinyan remembered what Li Youcai had said to her before, so she kept her composure and said, "You want so much money, but I don't have it at home. I'll go with you to see my mother first, and then I'll go to the county to ask Li Youcai for money."

When Chu Lao Er heard this, his face darkened.

She immediately said with a displeased look on her face: "You've been married to him for such a long time and even had a child, but how come you can't even manage this little household? This won't work in the future. You have to spend all his money. If a man has too much money, sooner or later something bad will happen. If he finds another woman outside, what will happen to you and the child?"

If this were said in an ordinary working-class family, it might not be a big deal, but if it were said in a family like Li Youcai's, it would be a cause for trouble.

When an old woman is in charge, the house will collapse.

Although Chu Xinyan has never been to school, she knows very well that she can have her current life thanks to Li Youcai's ability.

Moreover, she knew that she could not do any of the things that Li Youcai was doing outside, so she could not take care of Li Youcai's accounts, let alone want to take care of Li Youcai's accounts.

"Let's go, Dad." Chu Xinyan urged.

Chu Xinyan had no money on her, which made Chu Laoer very disappointed.

He sighed, put his hands behind his back and walked out of the room first.

After locking both doors, Chu Xinyan followed Chu Laoer back to her parents' home.

Old Chu family.

Qiao Honglan found a piece of gauze at home, dipped it in some iodine, and tied it around her leg with a piece of cloth to pretend it was an injury bandage.

Lying on the mattress, pretending.

"Ping, please give me the towel and pour me a bucket of water. I'm thirsty." Qiao Honglan shouted at the top of her voice.

Yu Ping was in the west room, sitting cross-legged on the kang, still thinking about how to get information without being discovered by Qiao Honglan and the others.

Hearing the old woman's shouting in the east room, he frowned unhappily.

"Here they come." Yu Ping shouted outside.

Chu Gensheng was lying on the kang. Seeing Yu Ping getting down to the ground, he ordered her, "Make me some tea and bring it back. My mouth is dry and tasteless."

"I married into your family to be a nanny for your family. You all order me around, young and old?" Yu Ping's tone was full of displeasure. She was afraid that her mother-in-law in the east room would hear her, so she didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"I have difficulty walking. If I were a healthy person, I would still need you to pour water for me." Chu Gensheng muttered, turned over on the kang, and turned his back to Yu Ping, no longer looking at her.

Yu Ping put on her shoes and went downstairs in a sullen manner.

She thought it would be best to leave this house as soon as possible, as she really couldn't stand staying there for another day.

In the past, the family was poor, and Chu Gensheng was worried that I would not live with him, so he knew to feel sorry for me.

But now, just as she has a little money, the whole family looks down on her. They change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Yu Ping gave Qiao Honglan a towel and some water and brought them to the east room.

Qiao Honglan folded the towel into a long strip and applied it to her healthy forehead.

"What were you mumbling about in the west room just now?"

What kind of ears are these? They can hear like this!

"Gensheng asked me to make him a cup of tea, but he said it tasted bad in his mouth." Yu Ping said.

"Why don't you go and make him some tea? Go out. I don't need you here." Qiao Honglan waved her hand and drove Yu Ping out.

Yu Ping made a pot of tea for Chu Gensheng. As soon as she entered the west room, she heard her father-in-law Chu Laoer calling out from outside the yard.

"Old woman, your daughter is back to see you."

Hearing the call, Chu Genshen jumped up from the kang, looked at Yu Ping with a happy face and whispered: "I'm here, don't let anything slip later."

"I understand." Yu Ping replied.

In the east room, Qiao Honglan heard Chu Laoer's shout and immediately pulled the quilt over herself.

"Ouch...it hurts...Ouch." He began to hum.

After Chu Xinyan entered the room, she saw her mother Qiao Honglan lying on the kang with her right leg bandaged. The yellow marks on her thigh skin were left by iodine.

"You're back."

"Oh, I'm useless now that I'm old. I wanted to do some work in the fields to earn some work points, but I ended up falling down. I'm becoming more useless as I get older. Oh..." Qiao Honglan started muttering when she saw Chu Xinyan enter the room.

Seeing her mother in such pain, Chu Xinyan sat down in front of Qiao Honglan and looked at her injured leg: "Let's go to the hospital. It's so badly injured, we can't just stay at home like this."

Hearing this, Chu Gensheng and Chu Laoer exchanged a glance, then said, "The commune doctor has examined our mother and told her to stay home and take medicine to recuperate and take more supplements. But where is the money? It's all because of me, a useless son. I can't do anything with a lame leg."

Qiao Honglan closed her eyes, her face showing pain: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine, just hold on, it doesn't hurt. Ouch..."

"Why don't we go to the hospital and let the county doctor take a good look at it, so we can feel at ease." Chu Xinyan said with some concern.

"Why waste that money? The commune doctor has already written the medicine. All you have to do is buy the medicine according to the prescription."

As he spoke, Chu Gensheng took out a piece of paper with a lot of crooked words written on it and handed it to Chu Xinyan to read.

Chu Xinyan had never been to school, and Chu Gensheng was not afraid that Chu Xinyan would recognize that this prescription was copied from the newspaper by him.

Chu Xinyan looked at the paper.

Coincidentally, she happened to have seen the first five words on the paper. The teacher of the literacy class had written these five words on the blackboard.
