"Why are you here? Are you here to join the army?"
Her tone was bad, and Chen Lishu naturally didn't give her a good look either. She sneered and said, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Although she didn't answer directly, when Zhao Hong saw her at this time, he automatically thought that she was here to join the army.
He looked Chen Lishu up and down, and saw that her clothes and complexion seemed to be better than when she was in the countryside, and she suddenly felt jealous.
Then she thought about marrying Lu Chengming. His family had arranged a job for her. Although she was working in a battery factory, she earned a lot, more than forty yuan a month. She suddenly felt that she was an ignorant rural person compared to her.
Women are much stronger, I thought, and my eyes unconsciously showed a bit of complacency and contempt.
"Where do you live now? After all, we just met. If I have time, I can visit you."
What are you looking at? People like Zhao Hong are nothing more than women who are unhappy with their lives and have some dirty thoughts in their hearts. They want to see how she is doing. If she is good, she will naturally become more jealous. If she can't step on her by the way, why bother to find it for herself?
Not happy.
Chen Lishu: "Anyway, we both hate each other, so let's save it."
There was a trace of annoyance on Zhao Hong's face: "Dog meat cannot be brought to the table, and it is doomed to be poor and miserable for the rest of its life."
Chen Lishu didn't take it seriously, and looked her up and down like hers, and said with a smile: "Look, you are living a good life with your appearance? It's just that the top is a bit big, it can't be the leftovers worn by your mother-in-law, right? The pants are also a bit small.
, your sister-in-law’s? Tsk, what’s the matter with those bruises on your face? Lu Chengming rewarded you for the good relationship between the couple? Your family really loves each other."
Zhao Hong didn't expect that Chen Lishu's guess was correct, and she became angry: "That's better than a country bumpkin like you. You have only been in the city for a few days and you really think you are a city dweller? You still can't get rid of that earthy smell."
Chen Lishu was so angry that she said, "Thank you for the compliment. This is called my down-to-earth spirit. It's better than your heart being as high as the sky and your destiny being as thin as paper."
Zhao Hong was so angry that she wanted to say a few more words, but she couldn't say anything to Chen Lishu. He glared at her fiercely and stopped waiting in line. He turned around and went home with the non-staple food book.
As soon as she got home, Mother Lu saw that she had come back empty-handed, and her face suddenly changed: "Where are the melon seeds and peanuts I asked you to buy? Did you eat them yourself?"
Zhao Hong said with a busy smile: "Mom, I saw there were too many people queuing up, so I thought I would come back to work first. I will go there early tomorrow morning and queue up so that it can go faster."
After hearing what she said, Mother Lu's face still didn't soften. She gave her a hard look and cursed: "All day long, I'm like the stone lion at the door. If I kick it and move it, both of them will be dead. Qing is waiting for me."
Wait, buy melon seeds and peanuts and talk a lot of nonsense. I don’t think you need to go there tomorrow. The place at home is small and can’t accommodate your big Buddha. You two will find a house for me and move out at the beginning of the new year.”
Zhao Hong panicked: "Mom, I'm really not making excuses. Besides, we have just joined the workplace and we haven't even shared a room. Where do you want us to move?"
"I won't wait for you to move wherever you like. The couple earns seventy or eighty dollars a month, and together they only give me half of their salary. Look at the elder couple, how much money they earn goes to the family."
Zhao Hong felt angry and aggrieved when she saw the unreasonable Mother Lu. The eldest brother and his wife only earned more than 60 yuan in total, but there were five or six people in their family. Lu Chengming had always had the final say on his salary. There was nothing she could do about it.
They can only give most of their wages to their families, and the old couple are still not satisfied.
"Mom, you don't know Cheng Ming's temper. I always have to leave some money to buy something when I go to work every day."
"You have food and accommodation at home. What did you buy? It seems like you are not living a sincere life with my son. Our old Lu family is unlucky for eight lifetimes to marry a woman like you. When Cheng Ming comes back, tell him to hurry up after the New Year."
Move them all away for me."
"Mom, Cheng Ming and I really have nowhere to go. How about I give all my salary to my family?"
If she dared to tell Lu Chengming about this, he would definitely be angry again. Instead of doing that, it would be better for her to hold on tight.
Seeing that she finally relented, Mother Lu's face still had a bad look on her face, but she didn't say anything more about driving people away.
Lu Chengming came back in the evening, smelling of alcohol. Zhao Hong looked at his face and carefully told what Lu's mother said during the day, and also told him about turning in all his salary.
"If mom wants you to do it, you can do it." Lu Chengming said impatiently, then threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes.
Zhao Hong went over to help him take off his shoes and socks, thought for a moment and said, "Cheng Ming, I saw Chen Lishu today."
Lu Chengming was confused when he heard the words Chen Lishu and sat up immediately: "She came to the city?"
Zhao Hong nodded: "It looks like he came with the army."
"Have you found out where she lives?"
Zhao Hong shook his head: "She didn't say a few words, but she had a bad attitude, and then I came back."
Lu Chengming lay back on his back: "Okay, I understand."
"Cheng Ming." Zhao Hong called softly, put her hand on his chest, and moved back and forth twice tentatively.
The reason why Lu Chengming has a bad attitude towards her may be that there is no child between the two of them. If they could have a child, Lu Chengming would definitely be as good to her as before.
"Want to do something?"
Lu Chengming looked at Zhao Hong with half-squinted eyes. The alcohol was rising. Under the dim light, her thin and sallow face magically overlapped with Chen Lishu's beautiful face. He stretched out his hand to pull the person over and press him under him.

…
It was already dark when the military truck stopped at the gate of the family area. The military wives got off the truck one after another with their things. Chen Lishu had a lot of things, so she waited until most of the people had left the truck before taking them one by one to the back of the truck.
The little soldier helped put them all on the ground. He bought so many things that they looked like a hill when piled together.
"Gu family, can you take back so many things you bought? Why don't you come along and I can help you get two things?"
A military wife who didn't have time to leave kindly stepped forward.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have already told my husband and he will come to pick me up soon."
While the two were talking, a tall and straight figure came quickly from the distance. Although it was dark and could not be seen clearly, Chen Lishu was still sure that it was Gu Xingdong at a glance.
"Buying so many things?" Gu Xingdong's eyes fell on her feet, which were piled on the ground.
"It's rare to have a car. Besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I haven't steamed the steamed buns and bean buns at home. There are also New Year's goods, so I have to prepare all kinds of things."
Gu Xingdong nodded and picked up the things one by one with quick movements, not to mention he was quite handy.
Thinking that Chen Lishu's small body could carry so many things, she said, "Are you exhausted?"
Chen Lishu had a chance to complain. She rubbed her arm and said, "No, Shen is dead. Fortunately, my sister-in-law who went with me helped me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get it back."
