They only went out to work at the end of the year. For the work they did earlier, they could still get points for sharing pork.
Li Rong had nothing to do at home, so she went to get the pork.
Aunts who were not familiar with her were all watching. Those who had interacted with Li Rong, such as those who sold eggs in the past, even greeted Li Rong warmly.
Seeing the little guy next to her, he praised her: "Li Zhiqing went to the city to study. She has changed a lot. She is younger and more beautiful. It's not like she has such a big baby at all."
Someone next to him answered: "Let me tell you, the water in the city raises people. Look at this big fat boy. Which family in the village raises a son so well?"
She felt comfortable listening to the rainbow farts they blew, but she didn't take it seriously. She knew very well that these were just words for show. If she really followed them, she didn't know how many people would get angry.
The educated youth who did not go to college in 1977 or 1978 are still in the village.
Luo Bing was actually there.
She looks much more haggard than before, and she seems to be less popular in the village.
When Li Rong saw her coming to get the pork, the people nearby consciously kept away from her, as if she was carrying some infectious disease.
Li Rong glanced at it and was about to look away when she suddenly met Luo Bing's eyes, which looked a little gloomy and made people feel uncomfortable.
She looked away pretending to be accidental.
Li Rong thought it was over, but unexpectedly she bumped into Luo Bing while walking around the village the next day after dividing the pork.
The other party's eyes were still so gloomy. She smiled strangely and greeted Li Rong: "Long time no see, Li Rong."
Li Rong politely replied: "Long time no see."
"Are you particularly happy to see me like this?
Li Rong narrowed her eyes, feeling that what she said was very inexplicable. She had been in the capital for so long, and she had thought of Luo Bing only a handful of times.
She said calmly: "You think too much, I don't have any thoughts about you."
"Haha~" Luo Bing blocked Li Rong's way, "Did you and Yang Debao sleep together in the capital and sleep with each other? No one is watching, so you may know why you are together behind your back!"
Li Rong was really speechless.
Does she think Yang Debao is really some kind of hot cake?
How could she, a married woman with a son who was studying at a prestigious university and a bright future, be with Yang Debao!
She lowered her face and said to Luo Bing seriously: "I don't care if you are hysterical, but I solemnly tell you that I have a husband and children. My husband is very handsome and the children are very cute. Please forgive me for not being able to reach for your Yang Debao.
If you like it, chase it, don't bite people like a dog."
"You!" Luo Bing's pupils narrowed slightly, but he didn't expect the other party to be so strong now.
Li Rong walked around her, but before walking a few steps, she turned around and said, "No one has the time to stare at you. If you have any paranoia, go get it treated as soon as possible. We don't need to say hello when we see you on the road in the future. You're annoying."
I’m annoyed too.”
Luo Bing's face turned red with anger and turned darker.
After walking far away, an aunt came close to Li Rong.
Li Rong recognized her, but she couldn't call her, so she just smiled and said hello.
The other party said to Li Rong mysteriously: "Is this Luo Zhiqing very annoyed now? Since you went to college, she has become very strange. It was okay at first. She kept talking about going to college and returning to the city to find Yang Zhiqing all day long.
, but he failed to pass the college entrance examination the next year, so he was like crazy and disliked everyone."
Li Rong listened quietly and did not express an opinion.
The aunt continued: "This Luo Zhiqing is so shameless. Let me tell you, she is just like a prostitute. She has had affairs with many men in the village. Her mother-in-law hates her to death."
Li Rong's eyes moved: "Where's the back?"
"That's what happens later. It's one thing to know, but only one or two people are caught. If they can't catch others, they can only be angry and control their own men. Otherwise, what else can they do, and they can't take Luo
The educated youth were driven out of Dajiang Village."
Li Rong sighed, things have changed and people have changed.
I didn't expect Luo Bing to go astray, but speaking of it, this was a sign. She had an affair with Zhao Jianping's son when she was pregnant, and if I remember correctly, she had a miscarriage.
Because it’s not the New Year yet, Zhao Qingyang and He Xing’s shops are still open.
After all, the rent has to be paid. If you open the door for an extra day, you can earn an extra day.
Li Rong had nothing to do and took the little guy with her to the store.
When she went to school in the capital, Li Rong's original bicycle was given to Brother Zhao, and the sewing machine in the house, which had not broken down for a long time, was also moved to He Xing.
Now that she came back, Brother Zhao said to return the bicycle to her.
Of course Li Rong didn't want it, she waved her hand and refused: "I just come back for a few days and go to school then, so there's no need. Besides, it's cold now and I don't like riding. I can just take An An by car."
."
Because they rent a shop, He Xing and his wife don't need to make things at home. If they don't spend the night in the shop, they get up in the middle of the night and go to the county town with a flashlight to make things.
Li Rong slept until she woke up naturally before taking the little one out.
When they arrived at the store, Li Rong saw that He Xing and the others had been busy entertaining customers, and Da Niu was also helping sell things. The steamed buns and tea eggs in the morning were particularly popular.
Seeing Li Rong coming, He Xing went to greet her: "You're here? What do you want to eat?"
Li Rong said she wouldn't eat it, but the little guy wanted to eat it.
When Li Rong didn't come back, the two big boys in the family went to school. He Xing often brought the little guy to the store. Knowing what he liked to eat, he picked one for him.
The little guy said thank you and sat down to eat.
Li Rong helped sell some things until noon, when all the buns and snacks were sold out.
Zhao Qingyang and He Xing went to wash the steamer behind the house. Li Rong wanted to help, but was driven away.
Li Rong thought that they would just sell out the steamed buns and snacks, but who knew that after washing the steamer, they brought out two more buckets of soup, one bucket of whitish bone soup, and one bucket of clear soup.
"This is?"
"We have been selling noodles and dumplings since noon, and there are also rice dishes, which can be eaten by many people."
Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Big brother and sister-in-law are so witty!"
At this time, it was the merchant who brought the things to the dining table, and Li Rong helped by carrying the things over.
After working hard for most of the day, Li Rong was very tired.
He Xing saw her hitting her lower back: "Are you tired?"
Li Rong smiled awkwardly: "It's okay."
"Okay, I don't know about you yet. You don't have to work in the city, right? College students all use their brains, and none of them can do this kind of hard work."
Li Rong smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Qingsong was away from home every day. He looked through Li Rong's clothes, as if he was wondering what was going on at the pig farm.
At that time, he followed Li Rong into the city, and the pig farm he opened with others was handed over to Song Xianping to take care of.
The dividends received this year are neither too much nor too little.
Song Xianping is a prudent conservative. He only needs to make no loss and earn about the same amount as last year.
At the end of 1978, the policy of allocating farmland to households came out. Many people started their own businesses, and many chose to breed.
But Song Xianping and others were not sure whether to bring the pig farm to light.
