Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Chapter 8

Xu Nannan doesn't care whether Zhang Cuiqin feels painful or not. Xu Gensheng arranged a job for her with such a high efficiency this time. Although it was for the bag of milk powder, she was very grateful to Xu Gensheng.

On the contrary, Xu Gensheng felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that he had taken other people's things. So along the way, Xu Gensheng didn't say anything to Xu Nannan. After arriving at the farm, he arranged work for Xu Nannan and left directly. However, after walking a few steps, I turned around and said something to Xu Nannan, "Nannan, there are not many things here, it's more comfortable than being in the ground. If you are done, you can rest on your own. Just remember, don’t be with you. The person who picked the feces had a bad composition."

Xu Nannan nodded clearly.

Although it has not yet reached the next ten years, some landlords and rich peasants in the past have also been defined as a class of people with poor composition after the local tyrants divided the fields.

Before the ten years of movement, the status of these people was not high.

Seeing Xu Nannan nodded, Xu Gensheng felt relieved. Nan Nan is a timid child and will certainly not cause trouble.

Xu Gensheng felt that he was worthy of the bag of powdered milk, and he could also deal with his daughter-in-law, so he turned around and left immediately.

Seeing Xu Gensheng being like that, Xu Nannan secretly said that fortunately, Aunt Osmanthus asked her to find Aunt Gensheng, otherwise it would definitely not be possible. Speaking of looking for opportunities, I have to thank Aunt Osmanthus well.

There are not many things on the farm, and no one is staring at it. Xu Nannan consciously carried the basket on his back to pick hogweed nearby. After it was done, he finally poured the hogweed into the pigpen.

After busying for a while, Xu Nannan felt tired and sat on the side to rest, wiping his sweat.

This is good here, no one is staring, you can rest for a while when you are done. And there is no need to endure Zhang Cuiqin's firecracker being disturbed by the side, it's much more comfortable.

Of course, the only thing that made her depressed was that the farm smelled so bad that even the blowing wind carried a smell.

It seems that you have to wear a mask next time.

Xu Nannan was sitting on the rock blowing hair, and a man came over with a pole.

The man was in his 50s or 60s, with a rickety figure, and walked toward the pigpen with his head down. Seeing Xu Nannan, he seemed a little surprised.

Xu Nannan guessed that this was probably the bad guy mentioned by Uncle Gen Sheng.

It doesn't matter that they are all working in the farm. Xu Nannan just went to get pig grass to feed the pigs, and he was usually relaxed. But this one is different. In addition to picking pig dung, he also has to clean the farm. Moreover, pig dung must be picked into the field to make fertilizer, so much land is enough for him to work.

Xu Nannan didn't know how bad this person was, and he was given such a job.

However, she also went to the village to follow the customs, and did not intend to contact this person. After all, this era is special, and she is not in a good situation herself, and she has to take care of Xiaoman, but she can't have extra branches.

Both of them are very tacitly agree not to say hello. The man was working there.

The pig dung was stirred, and the smell became even worse. Xu Nannan felt a little nauseous, and hid in the rest room under his nose.

Said it is a lounge, in fact, a simple thatched shed was built to shelter the wind and rain. Xu Nannan suspected that if it really rained, this thatched house would not be worth it.

Alas, it seems that this job is not as good as expected.

Also, in the village, there is no way to escape the physical work. She still has to leave the village. She doesn't want to stay here all her life.

"Hey, what kind of book is this?" Xu Nannan was thinking about the future, and suddenly found that there was a book on the table with a very old cover, it should be some years old. Xu Nannan took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a foreign book.

At this time, there were still people in the village who knew foreign languages. Obviously this book belongs to the ‘bad guy’ outside.

But can people read foreign books at this time? Xu Nannan was a little strange. She had watched TV of this era before. It seemed that in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country had always been very sensitive, saying that even those with relatives overseas had to be investigated, and she was worried that they were enemy agents.

Xu Nannan was curious and curious, but still didn't touch the book. It's just that I'm a little curious about the identity of the foreigner.

Before Xu Nannan went out, the one outside came in. It seemed to be a book on the nervous table. After entering the door, without even looking at Xu Nannan, he wrapped the book on the table and put it in his arms.

Xu Nannan was a little embarrassed immediately, "I didn't touch your book. I won't move without permission." No matter what, she can't make people doubt her quality.

"I know you haven't moved." The man finally said, "You better stay still, or you will have trouble." This man still speaks Mandarin. Xu Nannan was even more surprised.

And she heard the self-deprecating in his words, obviously he also knew that he was also a member of the crowd avoiding him.

Xu Nannan felt a little embarrassed. Although she did what she was doing in the countryside, deep down in her heart, she really didn't have the kind of consciousness about what was not made up.

So she couldn't help but said, "Uncle, how do I call you?" It was also in Mandarin.

Perhaps because of this, this person looked back at her and looked at her a little bit, "Contact me and don’t worry about being defined as a bad person."

"We are working together. We have to look up and see when we lower our heads. You can't even know the title. Besides, no one can define me as another person just because of one title."

This person looked at Xu Nannan, and seemed to find it quite fresh, and smiled on his face, "Little girl, my name is He Qiusheng."

"Uncle He, my name is Xu Nannan. Nan to the south."

He Qiusheng nodded and turned to leave.

Don't keep in touch with this little girl, or it will cause people trouble in the future. There are too few good people these days to harm good people.

Xu Nannan didn't take the initiative to call He Qiusheng any more. In her opinion, knowing what the other party called was just a habit of politeness. As for more, she didn't dare anymore.

The work of the morning passed quickly.

Xu Nannan felt that this job was a bit stinky, but relatively speaking, it was a lot easier, and even time passed faster. She had shopped the goods in Taobao store several times, and it was time to get off work.

Xu Nannan hurried back to have lunch.

As soon as he returned home, Xu Nannan felt that the atmosphere of the whole home was not very good.

The whole family came back from work. Instead of chatting in the yard as usual, they all sat in the hall. The old lady was sitting right above the hall, looking at the door with a blue face. Seeing Xu Nannan entering the house, the stick in his hand slammed the ground fiercely, "You're a prodigal thing, don't hurry up and explain what you are doing. Losing money, don't make money for the family, and let the family stick to it. , When are you so courageous?"

Xu Nannan didn't expect such a encounter at all. Obviously after Xu Jiansheng left yesterday, the old lady was still quite calm this morning. Is this convulsion again?

One by one, the old lady is not tired.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with me, if you are not satisfied with the milk, just say it directly, don't play dumb puzzles." Xu Nannan said impatiently.

Seeing her attitude, the old lady's angry nostrils are about to smoke, "You dare to talk back, you are a prodigal thing, don't think I don't know, you must benefit Xu Gensheng's family, or someone can give you a new job. Say, how many good things your dad has given you, today I don’t explain, I have to beat you to death."

The old lady said, her heart hurts. If it wasn't for the youngest wife to come back and talk to her about Erya, the dead girl being an au pair, she wouldn't know that the boss actually gave this girl a good thing.

It's really hard to guard against a thief. What's the situation at home? I don't have enough food at home, so I will give others good things. Isn't this harming the whole family?

"What good things can my dad give me? Didn't my dad give me everything? The situation at home is clearest. My dad has extra stuff for me. Besides, Uncle Gensheng arranged for me. Work, it’s because people think I’m poor, too young, and don’t want me to work with adults. If you don’t believe me, ask Uncle Gensheng and my father."

Anyway, Xu Gensheng wouldn't admit it. As for Xu Jiansheng, hehehe, that really didn't give her anything.

The old lady was a little uncertain when she said this.

The money from the boss was indeed taken out by her.

But this is no good, Xu Gensheng can take care of the dead girl like this?

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Zhang Cuiqin rolled her eyes, "Mom, our village is so big, no one is pitiful, so Xu Gensheng didn't arrange a job for the victim, so he arranged it for Erya. This is too strange."

Xu Jianhai listened to his daughter-in-law adding fuel and jealousy, and he wished to slap it over. It's not that she feels sorry for Xu Nannan's niece, but she just feels that her daughter-in-law rushes forward like this and will be hated in the future. I didn't see Liu Qiao coming back, just inadvertently raised a mouth in front of my mother, and didn't care about anything later. From now on Erya hates, not Liu Qiao, but the old lady.

If Er Ya talks nonsense outside, the reputation of her own daughter-in-law will be even worse.

Zhang Cuiqin didn't know what Xu Jianhai thought, as long as it was something that made Xu Nannan difficult, she would be happy to do it. Who made her the daughter of Li Jing, huh!

The old lady originally thought that there was no evidence, but when Zhang Cuiqin said so, she also thought it must be a gift, but she didn't find it out.

This family gave gifts to outsiders. She, the head of the family, didn't even know it. This was simply ignoring her authority.

"You **** girl, I'll see how hard your mouth is today." The old lady got up to fight.

Xu Nannan was not stupid, and ran out directly.

Don't forget to shout, "You fight, if you dare to fight, I dare to make trouble. Let's make trouble like the last time, let the village see, you milk-maker talks to the granddaughter every day."

As soon as the old lady heard it, she held her breath suddenly, unable to get up and down.

"Well, your wings are hard, so you dare to challenge me. You are so stiff, don't eat a bite of rice in the future, and Xiaoman is not allowed to eat it!"

Xu Nannan sneered, and the old lady had no choice but to do it or not.

After several confrontations, Xu Nannan also discovered that the old lady was actually nothing good. What she is emboldened is undoubtedly that she has helped the Red Army and her prestige in the village has become the generation of the old lady of the Xu family.

These two points are nothing in Xu Nannan's eyes.

There are too many people helping the Red Army. Apart from anything else, Xu Jiansheng also joined the army and fought. You help the Red Army. At that time, the Red Army was fighting for the people? Need to show off, or even dominate?

As for seniority, being old and disrespectful, there is nothing worthy of respect.

After all, there is still a difference between elders and old people.

Elders are respectable elders. The old man is simply getting old.

Old lady, this is obviously the latter.

Turning a deaf ear to the threat of the old lady, Xu Nannan went to the room to hand in Xu Xiaoman to write. During the period, while Xu Xiaoman was not paying attention, he ‘taken’ out the braised eggs and cakes from the cabinet, and he ate them with gusto.

After the old lady made the meal, she ran out and made a big bowl of mash in the pot while the old lady was not paying attention, took two wowotou and ran into the room and closed the door.

After eating cakes and braised eggs, Xu Xiaoman was already full. Xu Nannan drank the mash by himself, leaving Wowotou and Xu Xiaoman one by one.

"I'll eat later when I'm hungry in the afternoon." This is what she deserves from her work, but it won't be cheap to those people.

The old lady soon discovered Xu Nannan's behavior. She became angry outside and knocked on the door of the hut with great anger.

This house used to be a firewood house, cultivated in soil, and in tatters. The small door was crumbling. It was knocked on by the old lady, as if it was about to fall at any time.

Xu Xiaoman cried with fright.

Xu Nannan hugged her, thinking in his heart, must leave, leave here!

The old lady didn't want to knock on her door. After venting a bit, she went back to the main room for dinner.

But because of Xu Nannan's experience, the old lady has always been in a bad mood. Zhang Cuiqin said, "Mom, I still have to let the eldest brother take care of this. The eldest brother is her old son, and it won't matter if he is killed. How about finding an opportunity to let the eldest brother bring the children back?"

Zhang Cuiqin is missing a child. Xu Jiansheng went home this month and didn't bring the child back. She felt a little bit unhappy in her heart. I've been thinking about it, just taking advantage of this opportunity to let Xu Jiansheng come back again.

The old lady is a sensible person, and she said with no anger, "I'll come back, there is no money on the way, you pay for it!"

Zhang Cuiqin hurriedly lowered his head and dared not say anything.

The room was quiet, only the sound of eating, and the old lady's angry grunt.

This dead girl must be cured.

Xu Nannan didn't know what the old lady was thinking, but it was strange that after a few days, the family was actually very peaceful, and it seemed that she hadn't been held accountable for changing jobs.

Xu Nannan felt strange, but couldn't find out what was wrong.

But it’s a good thing that days can be so peaceful, especially since she is now working on the mountain farm, where she is usually free, and after finishing her work, she can still wander in the mountains. I occasionally chat with He Qiusheng.

Although He Qiusheng avoided contact with her, Xu Nannan discovered that He Qiusheng was actually very knowledgeable through chatting with each other.

She suspected that He Qiusheng should be engaged in education work before picking up dung. And it should teach foreign languages.
