Chapter 72: Things left behind (please vote for me)
"Xiao Man is here!" Li Jinhua saw the two of them entering the hospital and greeted her to come in.
The two large pots in the kitchen were covered with lids, and the room was filled with the rich aroma of meat.
Shen Man, who had eaten bacon at noon, drooled unpromisingly. It was so delicious.
There's no way cooking in a small pot is as fragrant as a big pot, it doesn't taste the same at all.
As soon as he entered the room, Shen Man saw the captain Zhang Fenghai sitting by the kang talking to Gu Dacheng.
"Captain, Uncle Gu." She said hello one by one.
"Comrade Xiao Shen is here, take a seat." Zhang Fenghai smiled and nodded.
Things went smoothly today. In fact, Gu Chen had called Zhang Fenghai before he came back.
This matter is neither difficult nor easy.
But in the end, it was all about his words.
Shen Man had been in Shangjiang Brigade for so long and worked hard without causing any trouble, so he didn't stop him and just took care of it.
Gu Chen handed over the cigarette, and the three of them started chatting.
Shen Man found that although Gu Chen had a cigarette, he did not smoke. This showed that he was a social person.
After all, when you are away from home, it is faster for men to inquire about news and attract feelings.
And she doesn't reject it.
The time passed quickly while listening to them chatting, and after a while, the meal was ready.
Li Mei went into the room and put a table on top of the kang, and one on the floor. There were too many people to sit down.
Gu Dacheng was drinking with Zhang Fenghai on the kang, and Gu Chen was also there.
He waved to Shen Man to come over, but Shen Man shook his head and refused.
She doesn't drink, so why would she go to that table?
Seeing that she didn't come, Gu Chen didn't say anything, poured wine for the two of them and started eating.
Li Jinhua stewed shredded pork and beans, which was especially delicious after stewing for a long time.
There is also a fresh fish, which I specially bought from someone today.
In addition to these two dishes, there are also dumplings, pork and radish dishes. At this time, there are not many dishes in the countryside.
The vegetables that cannot be eaten are all rotten, or they have been eaten, and they are waiting to be planted in spring.
"Eat more, there are dumplings in the outer room." Seeing that she didn't eat much, Li Jinhua poured some more on her plate.
Shen Man quickly waved his hand: "No, I'm full! Aunt, don't bother me. Can I still be polite?"
The dumplings were indeed delicious, but she really couldn't eat them anymore. Since going to the countryside, she gained more than ten kilograms this winter, and now weighs ninety-five kilograms.
In fact, my weight is just right now, I can be a little fatter, but I'm afraid that I'm lazy and won't like to move anymore when my weight goes up.
In fact, part of the reason why fat people are lazy is because they have a lot of meat on their bodies and are very heavy to carry around, so they don't want to move.
Shen Man is also afraid that he will become lazy when he is overweight, so he just needs to eat enough now and don't eat too much.
Everyone ate happily, and when it was getting dark, the men were almost finished drinking.
Gu Chen walked to the side, looked at Li Jinhua and asked, "Mom, how is my eldest brother's work? Are you still getting used to it?"
After arranging work, Gu Yuan went to work two days ago, but never came back, and no one knew what was going on.
Li Jinhua shook his head and said: "He doesn't have any letter either. Wait until you go to his place tomorrow and have a look. No matter what, you can send a letter home."
This letter is not a letter, but a message from someone you know.
After all, it's so close, so why bother writing a letter? Making phone calls is a waste of money.
Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded, "I understand."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Man: "I'll take you back. It's getting late."
The two of them will set off tomorrow. There is indeed a lot of reluctance, but they can see each other often!
Gu Chen was very happy thinking of these, with a smile on his face unconsciously.
Shen Man said goodbye to the Gu family and followed him out.
It's just getting dark outside, and there are many people sitting in front of their homes on the street.
Just like when we arrived, there were many people greeting them.
The people in the brigade are friendly to each other, at least on the surface. Even if they have personal grudges, they will not show up in public.
If anyone has a big or small problem, they will help.
When we left the village entrance and approached the collective household, there was no one there.
Gu Chen stopped and said, "I'll leave tomorrow. You have to get up early in the morning. I'll wait for you at the door of the collective household at five o'clock."
"So early?" Shen Man was a little surprised. He didn't expect to set off at five o'clock.
"Yes." Gu Chen replied: "We will arrive at the commune at around six o'clock and take the train to the city. I'm afraid it will be afternoon before we get there."
"Although it's faster to take a bus, I'm afraid you'll get motion sickness, so it's only an hour faster."
The road now is not smooth, and many people get motion sickness. It is really not possible to be so bumpy.
Seeing that he had already made plans, Shen Man didn't ask any more questions. The two of them talked for a few more words before returning to the collective household.
Seeing Shen Man go in, Gu Chen walked back.
As soon as the evening breeze blew, his drunkenness dissipated.
I just drank two taels of white wine, which is not much. I used to work in a forest farm and would often go out drinking with other people.
But they all have a drink, mainly to relieve fatigue after being tired from work.
Now that he is no longer engaged in labor work, Gu Chen plans to drink less in the future, fearing that Shen Man won't like it.
I don't know since when he started to always worry about whether Shen Man liked him or not.
Do you dislike drinking or smoking?
Back at Gu's house, as soon as Gu Chen walked in, he saw Li Jinhua fiddling with the bag he had brought home.
This was prepared by Shen Man. There were many people eating just now, so no one mentioned it.
Li Jinhua called him over and said, "Why is there so much food? I didn't see you bring it back yesterday?"
Because he came back in a hurry, Gu Chen didn't bring anything with him and came back with his satchel on his back.
Hearing this, Gu Chen explained: "Shen Man brought this. We will leave tomorrow. She said these things were not needed, so she sent them here."
To be honest, he didn't know what was inside, but when he got closer and saw the sausages, bacon, canned food and the like, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
He had trouble getting these things, but Shen Man actually had them all.
Li Jinhua stared with displeasure, "It's not easy for a girl to go out. Why do you want other people's things? You just let people carry them here!"
"Mom, it was my second brother who brought it here. I saw it when I entered the door!" Gu Nan didn't forget to hold the fire aside.
Gu Chen was speechless when he heard this. Did you see that this is his sister, his own sister!
"Did you even bring it here?" Li Jinhua went up and patted him, "Why are you so worried? I told you to take it!"
"Mom!" Gu Chen said helplessly: "Anyway, we will enter the city tomorrow. Is there anything in the city by then?"
You are right, there are many more things in the city than in the countryside. Things that cannot be bought in the commune are available in the city.
Thinking of this, Li Jinhua sighed, "This kid is so sincere. It would be better if he didn't kick you."
In her mind, it was only a matter of time before her son was kicked.
Gu Chen had nothing to say. He just couldn't understand. Is he so unworthy?
