The car quickly drove back, and everyone bought something. The originally crowded back compartment was now even more crowded.
However, Shen Man didn't complain at all. She was asked to carry a large package by herself, which took up an area of one person.
The snow didn't stop on the way back. The falling snow covered the road and everyone was covered in snowflakes.
After finally getting to the place, everyone got off the bus one after another.
Shen Man didn't get car sick when she went out this time. After getting off the bus at the entrance of the village, Gu Nan would help her back to the collective home.
"No, you're getting something too. Let's go first. I can do it myself." She rejected the other party's kindness.
I am not without limbs, I am a normal person and I cannot always wait for help from others.
Seeing her insistence, Gu Nan waved goodbye and went back with her things.
Shen Man carried the package and walked to the collective home, which was not far from the collective home. When he arrived, he found that there were people laughing and joking in the collective room where they were eating. They were probably over there.
She took the package directly back to the house, unlocked the door, closed it, and locked it.
This time she already had a memory. No matter what she was doing when entering the house, she would always lock the door, so as not to know who came in again.
I just don’t know what to do in the summer. I have to open the windows, right? It’s so hot.
Throw the package on the kang and put the dumplings directly into the space, save them for next meal.
Things bought with money should never be thrown away, it is too wasteful.
Because the fire in the stove had gone out, Shen Man went out to get firewood, when a man came out of the main room.
Chen Zhipeng looked at her and said: "Comrade Shen, everyone has to go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow, so remember to get up early."
Everyone collected the firewood, otherwise who would give them firewood?
Hearing this, Shen Man nodded, "I understand."
She didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party asking her to go. After all, she also lit fires, so it was normal for everyone to go together.
When Chen Zhipeng saw her entering the house with firewood, he stood there without knowing what he was thinking.
On the contrary, the people in the room sighed.
"The autumn harvest has just begun and there is no rest, and we have to go up the mountain to collect firewood." Qiao Xin's tone was full of despair, there was no time to rest at all.
Xu Jie consoled him: "Actually, apart from the colder weather, the Northeast is not as tiring as the South. In winter, we also plant land and vegetables there. We just need to collect firewood to keep warm."
There is indeed nothing wrong with this, and there is a lot of black soil in the Northeast. No matter how much food is produced in other places, people here will never starve to death.
There are wild vegetables in the mountains in spring and mushrooms in autumn. As long as you are willing to work, you will definitely have enough to eat.
Shen Man lit the stove and entered the space. He first changed out of his cotton pants, cut a piece of cloth from the unwearable clothes, and then sewed it on the hole in the cotton pants.
Of course, her skills were limited and her sewing was not pretty, but at least the cotton would not be exposed.
In this environment, Shen Man certainly would not pursue beauty, as long as it is practical.
She doesn't know how to be complicated...
the other side.
Gu Nan went home with fabric noodles and put them on the kang. He also took out some needlework and thread from his pocket.
Finally, he took out two pieces of soap and placed them beside the kang.
"There's rice left for you in the pot, go and eat it." Li Jinhua said as she packed her things.
After hearing this, Gu Nan sat directly by the kang, "I finished eating in town!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jinhua stopped packing and asked: "Your second brother brought food? Why don't you know how to save your second brother some money!"
She thought her daughter must be greedy, so she asked Gu Chen to take her out to eat.
Gu Nan immediately retorted: "No! It was Sister Man who invited me to dinner and ate dumplings."
She said with a dissatisfied expression on her face, why did she waste money on her second brother?
However, Li Jinhua was very surprised, "You are being invited to eat dumplings?"
This made her wonder how expensive white flour is these days. They don't have wheat here, so they can't even buy it.
The more reason is that I am reluctant to buy it.
"Mom, Sister Man is so kind. She gives me biscuits, dumplings, and candies." Gu Nan thinks this is her biological sister, right? I really want to have a sister, but these two brothers are talking nonsense.
The eldest brother will take care of his sister-in-law when he gets married. Although the second brother is not married, he will do the same in the future.
If there was a sister like Shen Man, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams.
Seeing her proud expression, Li Jinhua went up and patted her, "You damn girl, why do people treat you so well? You're so stupid. Don't let others sell it and have to count the money for them." "
This heartless girl really has no choice at all.
Of course, she was also curious about why that educated youth was so nice to Gu Nan, which was hard to figure out.
Gu Nan didn't believe it, curled her lips and said, "Pull her down! Sister Man only treats me as a friend and treats me as a girl. Anyone who comes into your mouth will taste bad!"
As for whether she would be sold, she thought it was impossible. Shen Man was so kind to her, it must be because she was so popular that others were attracted to her.
Looking at her self-centered daughter, Li Jinhua rolled her eyes and ignored her. This child was stupid and everything she said was in vain.
It was already dark around four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still snow outside because there was no wind, but it was not as cold as during the day.
Shen Man used a small pot to heat up the leftover dumplings from the day and completed another meal.
At this time, the dishes and noodles are all original and taste better.
When she went out to get firewood again, she found that there were still many people in the main room, and there was a faint smell of meat coming out.
Is this a dinner party?
Thinking of this, Shen Man also discovered that these people wanted to exclude her and isolate themselves.
But she didn't feel disappointed, instead she felt pretty good.
Although these people appear to be easy to talk to on the surface, in fact they still feel that they are superior to the people in the Shangjiang Brigade.
Shen Man really doesn't like them, so it's better to be isolated and don't associate with anyone.
After going back to the house and locking the door, she read a book for a while and then turned off the light and went to sleep.
She is going to go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow, and she will definitely go there.
When she woke up the next morning, Shen Man was still eating the dumplings that had been heated last night. She couldn't help it, she couldn't finish them in this meal, so she probably had to eat dumplings at noon.
Who knew there were so many dumplings in this era, otherwise she wouldn't be able to ask for two pounds.
After eating the dumplings and drinking a bottle of hot milk, breakfast is done.
Wear a headscarf and go out, everyone has just come out.
Chen Zhipeng got a bullock cart from somewhere, and other lesbians were already on it.
Seeing them occupying the space one by one, making it obvious that there were no seats in the car, Shen Man did not go over.
What can I do if I don’t ride in a car? I still behave like a child. I really won over these people.
Qiao Xin looked at Shen Man proudly and said, "Oh, there's no room, just walk."
She did it on purpose, and she was still angry about not taking the car to town yesterday.
But Shen Man, who was opposite her, didn't give her a look and walked with everyone without looking back.
