Chapter 15 Idle
Chapter 15: Idle

After laying down on the kang, Erchun couldn't sleep anymore. After all, he fell asleep at noon and didn't sleep at night. It was quiet all around, except for the sound of rain outside, and there was no other movement until a short while later. Old man Zhang's snoring came from the southern kang, which broke the silence.

Erchun didn't feel noisy, she just came back from such inexplicable rebirth, or her previous life was just a dream, and she woke up from the dream, which made her face her own life again.

It is now 70 years, and this winter, some educated youth will go to the countryside, stay in the village for two or three years, and begin to return to the city in 73. In 77, a large number of urban people will return to the city. It was that year that she and Liu Wenqing returned to the city.

It was also that year that the college entrance examination was resumed in the city.

Erchun didn't go to school for a few years, didn't graduate from elementary school, and lived a miserable life in the city in her previous life. What she envied most were those college students. In this life, she knew that she had no hope of getting into college. Even if she was reborn, she would be fine. What is special about others is that if you want to take the university entrance exam, you have to learn a little bit by yourself. Erchun knew that he was not that kind of material, so he didn't plan to take the entrance examination. He wanted to actually earn some money and then settle down in the city. .

So if you really want to marry Li Tiezhu, with Li Tiezhu's temperament, you will definitely listen to yourself, so it's not difficult to go to the city. Erchun thought of this as if he saw the light. It was raining at night in late autumn, and the adobe thatched house was damp and cold , and it is obvious that there is a rain leak on the roof of the house, and there is a sound of dripping water in the middle of the night.

Although I think about the long term, I just need to live a better life now, and I remember that in my previous life, those young people from the village came to the door the next day, and Erchun closed his eyes so as not to let himself think too much, there is still a tough battle to come tomorrow beat.

Thinking about it this way, within a few minutes, my eyelids became heavy, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day, Erchun was woken up by the movement in the outer room. She opened her eyes in a daze, raised her hand and opened the corner of the window curtain to look at the outer room, and saw Li Yanhong washing his face shirtless there. It was early in the morning, and it was still raining outside. Erchun felt that if he breathed out, he could see the white breath, but he just washed his hair and face with cold water like this. It was so refreshing that he didn't feel cold at all. .

Even though she was married in her previous life, Erchun still felt a little hot when she saw Li Yanhong's shirtless arms. She put down the curtain and lay back on the kang, humming coldly in her heart. I don't know what to do.

Too lazy to think about it, Erchun lay back on the kang again. On such a rainy day, the team would not go to work, and most people would be called to go to class. Old man Zhang’s family is a wealthy family in the village, and he was excluded. Erchun used to always want to squeeze into the young people's team, but now that he has lived his life again, he will naturally not squeeze in again. Old man Zhang is a retired old worker who only likes drinking and playing cards all day long. I disdain to study, so neither Zhang's grandparents nor grandchildren participated in the study in the village.

Although you don't have to study, you can't get up too late. In the previous life, it was fine. In this life, Erchun didn't want to be lazy, so he got up and made breakfast. The leftover dishes were heated up last night, and he made a few more. Erchun didn’t ask Li Yanhong to come over for dinner. He brought a bowl of food directly, and put four Erhe noodles in another bowl and sent them to the West Room. House, put a table to eat with grandpa.

"Anyway, our family has a small population, so I'll let you, Uncle Li, come over to eat." Old man Zhang also provoked his granddaughter last night, and he was still cautious when speaking in the morning.

Erchun snorted, and took a bite of the pancake, "I just want to drink with you from time to time, don't I?"

The old man Zhang blushed when he was told, and he still felt a little guilty, and changed the subject, "It happens that I can't go out on such a day, and I will go to the side room of Piansha in a while to find some rope, and take the time to string the peppers."

"Didn't you guys make an appointment to play cards in this weather? You go play cards, and then string the quilt up after I make the quilt. Anyway, there's nothing else to do. You go and do your work. I'll take care of the family matters." Two Although Chun was mad at him for drinking, he didn't embarrass him in this matter, "But let's make an agreement, playing cards is fine, and money is not allowed. Give me all the money you have now, and I will keep it."

Old man Zhang's face was even uglier than before, "Chun'er, how can you play cards without money, why don't you see if this works, I will keep two yuan, and let you keep the rest."

Afraid that his granddaughter would object, the old man Zhang touched his bosom, and took out a stack of money. Upon closer inspection, they were all worth one cent, two cents, ten cents, and two cents. With embarrassment, put the stack of money on the table.

"There are a lot of openings this month, and it's only a little more than one yuan when we scrape together." Mr. Zhang was struggling. Naturally, the money should be given to his granddaughter, but he would have no money to play cards by himself.

Seeing Grandpa's troubled look, Erchun put down his chopsticks angrily and amusedly, took the money and counted it, kept one dollar and put it on the table, "Grandpa, do you have money every month?" Salary, but we can’t spend it like this. I won’t stop you if you drink some wine, but it’s not a good thing to see the money. If you want to play in the future, you can play without money. This is the last time. When you play today, you will also play with that After a few people made it clear, they said that I won't let you play."

The old man Zhang smiled with his mouth parted, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Erchun felt a little powerless, grandpa loved him, as long as someone bullied him, grandpa dared to fight with others, but grandpa also had this bad habit, that is, to see money.

Give him the money now, he will listen to everything you say, but when he wants to play next time, he will still ask for money, and he will not be able to quit.

Erchun also knew that there was no need to rush this matter, just like not letting grandpa drink too much, he could only take his time. The money belonged to the captain's family, those with some power in the village, and grandpa, an old worker who was afraid of in the commune brigade.

After tidying up the house, Erchun spread the dried mattress sheets on the kang, wrapped the pistils inside, and sewed them carefully. During this period, there was no movement in the West Room, except that Li Yanhong brought out the bowls and chopsticks after breakfast, and After washing, the person went back to the house and never came out again.

After Erchun sewed the last quilt, he stretched his arms and straightened his waist, when he saw three figures wearing raincoats entering the yard of his home. The figures were slender, and he knew they were three girls after looking at them. Erchun took a deep breath, What should come is still here.
