Chapter 16: Show such a goodwill
The political class organized by the superior really worked, but because of this matter, Shang Hong was obviously a little unpopular. Shang Hong himself noticed that Zhang Guilan was not in the mood to be with these people all day long. The salded cotton cloth had dried. It took her a day to make two quilts. The quilt is not very cotton, twelve catties of cotton, and each quilt weighs six catties. Now the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The cover is just the right thickness. It is made of new cotton, and the quilt is also easy.
In the past few days, she has been making mung bean cakes for sale. Although it is hard, Zhang Guilan has also saved some money. She continues to go out early and come back late every day. When she enters the city, she still wears Luo Jijun's old green army coat.
When I went out this morning, I happened to meet Shang Hong. There were still a few women talking beside him. Only Shang Hong stood at the door of the courtyard. Zhang Guilan smiled secretly. It seemed that Shang Hong's life was not easy these days. After all, with Shang Hong's arrogant character, he was suddenly squeezed out. It must be uncomfortable.
"Is your sister-in-law going to the city? Let's go together. My friend happened to go to the city, just on the way. Shang Hong took the initiative to talk to Zhang Guilan, who was a little surprised.
But it's just an accident. "No, this bus is coming soon. Besides, I'll bring these things and then dirty other people's cars."
Zhang Guilan carries two bamboo baskets, covered with cloth, which are full of ready-made mung bean cakes.
"Is this going to the city for a small business again? It's really hard." Shang Hong glanced at several women not far away, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, it's good for you to live like this, but the most important thing for this woman is to coax men's hearts. There are men to make money. We can't work so hard, and we can't get it in the end
Well, this made Zhang Guilan nervous in an instant.
Calculate, the doctor hasn't appeared yet at this time. Is it possible that he has appeared now?
Shang Hong was very proud to see that Zhang Guilan changed her face and continued to show off, "Sister-in-law, you and Jijun are from the same village. Shouldn't everyone in the village know each other? Why did someone come from the village? Jijun didn't tell you. Is there any misunderstanding here?
"Sister-in-law means Milan?" Thinking of Milan he met in the city the day before yesterday, and Shang Hong's words today, Zhang Guilan understood a little and was secretly relieved.
As long as it's not the doctor, after all, she is not ready to compare with that doctor at all, and in comparison, she must be the one who loses.
"It turns out that my sister-in-law knows, that's strange. Since she is from a village and has come all the way to the city, why didn't she come to see the younger sister-in-law? Besides, she still rushed to Jijun in the city, or is it the work arranged by my mother-in-law in my The sister arranges the work, which also saves the younger sister-in-law from getting up early and greedy all day long for a small business. Shang Hong looked sad. He looked sorry.
Zhang Guilan calmed down and thanked solemnly, "Sister-in-law, thank you for telling me what happened today. Jijun must not want me to worry if he didn't tell me. After all, I just entered the city for a few days, but as my sister-in-law said, it's a village and rushed to Ji The truth. Fortunately, my sister-in-law gave me a reminder today, otherwise outsiders must think I'm mean when they know it.
Knowing that Shang Hong was uneasy, he said this in his heart, and even it was purposeful to be close to himself in front of the people in the courtyard. These are not important. The important thing is that without her reminder, Zhang Guilan and his two generations were kept in the dark.
No wonder Milan, who came out of the countryside, found a good job in the city alone. It turned out that there was Luo Jijun's in it. This life may be her change, which has turned around in some places. Otherwise, Shang Hong would not have said what she said today, so she would still know nothing like in her previous life.
"What's the matter? It's okay if my sister-in-law doesn't mind me to talk too much. If my family knows, it's time to blame me for talking too much." Shang Hong was happy, but he also regretted it.
Zhang Guilan replied, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't put you in this matter, so I'm too human."
Shang Hong only felt that Zhang Guilan's words were on him, and it was not easy to refute it. Fortunately, at this time, his friend's car came, and he got on the car with a pale face.
The voice of the two was not loud, and the people not far away were curious and didn't know what was going on. They could only watch Zhang Guilan leave. Zhang Guilan got on the car in a scalm and didn't calm down until she was in the city.
She understands why Luo Jijun did this. After all, he and Milan have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and later made an appointment. Milan has waited for Luo Jijun for three years, and the best age to get married is over. Luo Jijun is not only a soldier, but also a responsible man. If Milan is not happy, he will I feel guilty all my life, and I feel that he is sorry for Milan.
When she got out of the car, Zhang Guilan had already thought about it. First, she went to the stall where she usually went to squat and discussed with the vegetable seller next to her. She sold all the mung bean cake she brought to sell vegetables. In the past few days, she was always here, and she also knew that the mung bean Sell the mung bean cake to him.
For things made by hand, it's nothing to earn a dime less to Zhang Guilan. It's not bad to think about it. I promised to send mung bean cake the next day.
When she went to the meat seller to weigh a catty of meat, Zhang Guilan went to the hotel where she stayed the day before yesterday and inquired about it. When she heard that the person had not left, she went straight to the room.
Zhang Guilan knocked on the door directly, "Is Milan there?"
"Who is it?" There was someone inside, and the door was then opened. Milan stood inside in a floral coat. When she saw Zhang Guilan, she was obviously stunned and looked a little embarrassed. "It's Guilan, why are you here? Come on in."
I just didn't allow you to enter, and I also wanted to enter. Before she finished speaking, Zhang Guilan squeezed in with a fat body. " Fortunately, I saw you live here that day, otherwise I would really think I was dazzled. How can I stay in a hotel when I come to the city? Pack up and go back with me. How dangerous it is for a girl to live outside.
Milan secretly looked at Zhang Guilan with some monster eyes. When she was in the village, who didn't know that Zhang Guilan's temper was hot. A bad-hearted slap went up. In fact, Milan was a little guilty. After all, when she came, she wrote a letter to Luo Jijun, and even called him. She rushed to Guilan, her first thought was that Zhang Guilan found out that she had come to Luo Jijun.
But what surprised her later was Zhang Guilan's attitude. If the person standing in front of her hadn't grown up with her village, she really didn't believe that this cheerful and kind person would have been Zhang Guilan.
"Guilan, I just went to work in the city, and it's convenient to live here to find a job, so I won't go to your house. It's not convenient to talk about it." Milan's eyes shook and poured a cup of hot water to Zhang Guilan.
"Isn't the job still not found? It's also convenient to take a bus from the army to the city. Take your time to find a job. We are from the same village. You and Jijun have a good relationship since childhood. You come alone. How can you live outside? Zhang Guilan took the cup she handed over and turned to put it on the table beside her, pointing to **'s small package, "Is this the only one? Let's go. I bought a catty of meat today. Let's go back to make dumplings.
After saying, he picked up the package directly and put it on his arm.
Zhang Guilan made up her mind. She would rather lock the wolf in her yard and at least know her every move than to let her shoot behind her back.
Milan is tougher than Zhang Guilan. She can only withdraw from the hotel room. The two went to the passenger station. Along the way, Zhang Guilan said enthusiastically, "There are not many people living in the army compound, and they are all easy to get along with. You will know when you go. When did you come? Have you reported your safety to your family? After a while, I will call Jijun when you come to the team. You come and live alone outside. If he knows, he has to worry with me. When you arrive at home, you can take it as your own home. Speaking of which, I can't help you. Originally, Jijun should have married you, but something like that happened. But don't worry, there are many good young men in the army, and then let the army choose one for you.
Milan was panicked and more and more guessed whether Zhang Guilan knew something, and he didn't dare to ask. He also stuttered, "Guilan, you're not sorry for me. It's because I don't have a fate with Jijun. Don't talk about this in the future. It makes me embarrassed to face you."
He is petite and speaks slowly, which has a unique taste.
Zhang Guilan didn't know anything about it. In fact, she couldn't tell the pain in her heart, let alone the taste. You said that Milan looked like this, and this little movement. Looking at herself like a pig, it's no wonder that Luo Jijun's nose is not his nose, and his eyes are not his eyes.
"Listening to your words, I know how much you think about it. Originally, I and Jijun are sorry for living in you. What's wrong with you? If you think so, you treat us as outsiders. You are the same age as Jijun's sister. In the future, you will be Jijun and my own sister. Don't Zhang Guilan almost patted her chest and vowed.
Milan's face was blood-colored, and he was pitiful, "Guilan, thank you."
This is not a thank-you look. I don't know, but I thought I was bullied.
"You're welcome." Zhang Guilan gritted her teeth and beat her arm, and the two got into the car.
Zhang Guilan was not idle all the way, "Is it okay at home? How are my parents doing?"
Thinking of her parents, Zhang Guilan felt that she was quite unfilial. In the last life, she had no face to go back, so she died alone in the city. The two parents had lost their daughter and worried about her daughter. No matter what in this life, she would not only be a good wife, but also a good daughter, and never let her My heart.
"It's all good."
"How are my parents-in-law? They left in a hurry. Fortunately, there was a sister-in-law beside them.
Milan twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's all good."
Zhang Guilan was very satisfied with Milan's embarrassment. In fact, she knew in her heart that when Luo Jijun terminated the marriage contract with Milan, Milan never went to the Luo family again, and even passed by the Luo family. How could she know the situation of the Luo family?
Although he knew these and asked deliberately, Zhang Guilan didn't feel that he was vicious at all. Milan pretended to be tall, but secretly interacted with Luo Jijun. He also used Luo Jijun's guilt to play some tricks, let alone be polite.
