Chapter 19 Others
Chapter 19 Others
The end of the school term was approaching, and Shen Qianyao got busy. She didn't get off work until after nine o'clock in the evening for several days.The original agreement to have dinner together every day was forcibly broken. Seeing her tired appearance, Su Youqin suggested that she go back to rest directly after get off work.
Shen Qianyao didn't want to, so she always came home to sit on the sofa for an hour.She also stayed overnight, Su Youqin agreed once, but early the next morning, Shi Mi choked on "Why didn't Qianyao go home and sleep at Boss Su's place".
The person who asked didn't care, and the person who listened panicked for a moment.
Su Youqin doesn't mind disclosing their relationship in front of outsiders, but she is conservative when facing the people in the town.
On this point, Shen Qianyao also agrees. Although she tells others that she cannot get married, she will not disclose that she likes girls.After all, this incident may prevent her from continuing to be a teacher in the town.It's better to hide than to suffer the consequences.
Anyway, it has no effect on the two of them now.
Su Youqin comforted Shen Qianyao by waiting for the final exam to be over, in exchange for the countdown message from the other party who got up early every day: there are still [-] days until the final exam.
There are still twelve days until the final exam.
There are still eleven days until the final exam.
……
Su Youqin looked amused.When she received the news of the tenth-to-last day, she decided to send dinner to her lover who was working overtime tonight.
There is no takeaway in town.Some small restaurants accept ordering by phone for delivery.
The school cafeteria only serves lunch, and teachers who work overtime either go home to eat, or call a small restaurant to deliver, and occasionally eat instant noodles.No one else has ever delivered meals to the teachers to the school.
After Su Youqin prepared the ingredients needed for the breakfast shop the next day, she went upstairs to heat up the pork ribs stewed at noon, and fried a portion of shredded pork with green peppers and a portion of baby vegetables. When it was 06:30, when the sky turned dark, she carried Lunch box to school.
In order to deliver meals, she made a special trip to the supermarket to buy a new lunch box.
At the garden party, she went to Shen Qianyao's office.Now that it's the second time I'm here, I'm pretty familiar with it.
The office door was closed, and Su Youqin was unusually nervous before knocking on the door.This is the first time she has delivered meals to her girlfriend to the office.
"Dong dong dong" the door rang three times, and a strange man's voice came from behind the door: "Come in."
Gently pushing the door open, Su Youqin and the three people in the office looked at each other at the same time.Shen Qianyao's eyes lit up instantly, while the other middle-aged teachers, a man and a woman, were a little puzzled.Of course they knew Su Youqin and would often buy breakfast at the breakfast shop, but they didn't understand why she came here with a lunch box in her hand.
"Ah, Boss Su, you've worked hard." Shen Qianyao stood up quickly, blinked at Su Youqin, and explained to the two teachers: "Boss Su cooked too much dinner, and I happened to be working overtime, so she brought me dinner."
The female teacher realized that when there was a problem with the sewer in the old teacher's dormitory, Shen Qianyao stayed at Su Youqin's house for a while.The relationship between the two is really good.
Taking the opportunity to sigh, the two teachers quickly finished their work and left the office.
As soon as the two left, Shen Qianyao immediately opened the lunch box on the table. Like a child seeing her favorite snack, she was excited: "What is it? Wow, it smells so good." After laying out the dishes on the table, she turned around and hugged Su Youqin, Whispering: "I'm so happy, Boss Su, I really like you, I like you..."
Like a pug again.
Su Youqin was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, and pulled her off several times before tearing her off.Take out your phone and type: "Eat quickly."
"Shi Mi is also working overtime, you call her to eat."
Shen Qianyao looked at the two sets of tableware in her hands in surprise: "Did you also prepare Shimi's portion?"
"How much have you eaten?"
Shen Qianyao felt wronged: "I thought you wanted to eat with me."
Su Youqin reached out and poked her forehead: "I've already eaten. Be good, call Shi Mi over here. How about I call?"
Shen Qianyao waved her hand, picked up her mobile phone and called Shi Mi.The phone was picked up as soon as it rang, and she got straight to the point: "Ms. Shi, come to my office for dinner. There are delicious food."
The phone over there hung up, and within 2 minutes, there was a knock on the office door, and Su Youqin went to open it.
Shi Mi looked at the person behind the door in surprise, walked into the office and saw the meat, vegetable and rib soup on the table, and instantly understood.He opened his mouth to compliment him: "Wow, Boss Su sent it? Boss Su is so kind. Knowing Boss Su is the luck of Mr. Shen and me."
"However, why did Boss Su bring us food?" Shi Mi was pure-hearted, and after asking this question, he guessed by himself: "Isn't it because I lost a bet with Qianyao and is being squeezed?"
What is this all about?The little girl's thinking is too jumpy.
Su Youqin was amused, and sat on the side with a book casually flipping open.
Shen Qianyao and Shi Mi ate and talked, and quickly swept away the food.In order not to disturb the two of them working overtime, Su Youqin went home with a lunch box.As soon as she walked to the school gate, she saw Xiaoyu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, leading the little girl from Mangzi's family.One person, one person, and one person held a marshmallow in their hands, eating as they walked.
Meeting Su Youqin's eyes, Xiaoyu greeted her: "Youqin."
It was dark, and the street lamps cast a long shadow.Xiaoyu was in a hurry to send the little girl back to her grandparents' house, instead of chatting with Su Youqin, she invited her to play at the chicken farm when she had time.She is currently on her annual leave and has been staying at the chicken farm. It is boring to have no one to accompany her.
Su Youqin responded.
She went to the chicken farm to buy eggs last week, and took a glass of craft beer with Mangzi, but the weather was getting colder, and the craft beer with ice tasted a bit cold.She and Mangzi agreed to go to the chicken farm to make beer for him next time.It happened that Xiaoyu was here, and the day after tomorrow was Saturday, so I called Shen Qianyao to go with me.
Shen Qianyao got off work too late that night and did not come home.She complained that she and Su Youqin were talking about a long-distance relationship less than 100 meters away.This description made Su Youqin laugh.She decided to suspend business for a few days during the winter vacation, and go out to play with Shen Qianyao.
The weather on Saturday was average, and the morning fog did not dissipate until noon.After the thick fog cleared, the sky was cloudy, the sun was gone, and it was gray.
After the breakfast shop closed, Su Youqin went back to bed to catch up on drowsiness.In a daze, she heard the sound of cutting vegetables outside the room.
She woke up from the dream, lifted the quilt and ran out, relieved when she saw a familiar figure.She also forgot that Shen Qianyao had the key to the house.
"Are you awake?" Shen Qianyao walked up to her and stared straight at her.
The frightened heart slowly returned to calm, Su Youqin yawned and leaned against Shen Qianyao.
Shen Qianyao chuckled and hugged the person in front of her.The two hugged for several minutes.Do not separate until the rice cooker reminds that the rice is cooked.
After lunch is over, take a rest.The two of them went to Mangzi's chicken farm with two lemons and a small bag of red dates and wolfberries.
There are also people walking on Guolin Road in the afternoon.Because it is the weekend, there are many children.Some children wore red scarves, and when they saw Shen Qianyao, they would take the initiative to say hello to the teacher, and more children chased after them laughing.
Su Youqin remembered the time she saw middle school students bullying elementary school students.She asked Shen Qianyao if the school found anything?
The matter was later handled by the two schools separately. I heard that several middle school students were quickly found out and punished. The parents of the two students who were bullied in the fifth grade are now taking their children to and from school every day.
A car was parked at the gate of the chicken farm.From a distance, you can see the little fish squatting on the sand beside the car, poking the mud with a stick, like a child.Hearing Shen Qianyao's greeting, she threw away the stick and stood up, hooking her lips in response.
Doesn't look very interested.
The two walked to Xiaoyu's side, and Shen Qianyao asked, "Why are you squatting here and playing with the dirt?"
Xiaoyu pouted, and glanced into the room: "Someone came to buy chickens, and they were talking with Mangzi in the room."
I see, but buying chicken is a business, isn’t it a good thing?
Seeing through Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao's doubts, Xiaoyu sighed: "The person who bought the chickens seems to be from the police station. Ten chickens gave 200 yuan."
Only two hundred for ten chickens?It's too low. In Mangzi's chicken farm, the cheapest chickens that grow up with feed cost six or seven yuan a catty, and a chicken should cost more than 20 yuan.
Xiaoyu continued: "I came here once yesterday, bought [-] and gave [-], and came again today. Brother Gong is a loss-making business, and he does it every day."
She became more and more angry and her voice became louder.
Not knowing how to comfort her, Shen Qianyao could only say nonsense like "Maybe the police station has other agreements with Brother Mangzi".
The three of them stood outside for more than ten minutes, and the people inside had no intention of coming out.Xiaoyu stomped his feet: "I'll drive them away."
Shen Qianyao grabbed her.
In the end, it was Su Youqin who went into the house to check on the situation.There were three people sitting at the table in the room, one of them was Jiang Yize, a young policeman from the police station, and the other was in his forties, with a big belly. If he didn't look like a man, one would suspect that he was five or six months pregnant. .
There were fruit and melon seeds on the table, and three bags of chicken feed were placed one by one by the door. A few holes were cut from the lower half of the bag, and a few chicken heads came out of these holes.
Mangzi sat at the table with a smile on his face, echoing the words of the other two, when he saw Su Youqin appearing at the door, he moved his eyes and greeted her: "Youqin, do you want to buy eggs?"
Su Youqin nodded.Step into the house.
Mangzi couldn't wait to stand up: "How many do you buy today, let's go, I'll get them for you."
Su Youqin nodded again.She randomly typed a number on the phone, and held it out to Mangzi for him to see.Jiang Yize suddenly opened his mouth to greet Su Youqin: "Boss Su? Do you still remember me, the person who ate with Zhu Cheng at Xihua Restaurant a while ago."
Of course Su Youqin remembered.But she didn't want to deal with this person too much.There is a strong purpose in Jiang Yize's eyes, he seems to like to build relationships with people.
She nodded.
Jiang Yize stood up: "What does the egg room look like? I want to see it too."
Mangzi stopped moving.The middle-aged man with a big belly blocked Jiang Yize: "Hey, Xiao Jiang, aren't we going to Secretary Yang's house? Boss Mangzi is busy first."
Jiang Yize turned his back to the middle-aged man, his expression froze, and he smiled instantly, responding to the man.The man and Mangzi went out exchanging pleasantries, leaving Jiang Yize behind.He turned his head and smiled at Su Youqin, and picked up the three bags containing the chickens.Seeing Shen Qianyao when he went out, he shrank his pocket hand back, and said in a surprised tone, "Teacher Shen?"
His voice was not low, and everyone present looked at him.He smiled, followed behind the man, put the chicken in the trunk, and drove away.
As soon as the car drove away, Mangzi turned around, cursed idiots, and beckoned the three of them to enter the house.
Su Youqin took out a clean small pot, sliced the lemons, and crushed the dried red dates, and put them in the pot together with wolfberry rock sugar.To cook beer, you can use bottled and canned beer on the market. She poured three bottles of beer into the pot and turned on a small fire.
Xiaoyu and Shen Qianyao were chatting, and Mangzi interrupted from time to time.
The middle-aged man with a puffy belly just now is a member of the town government. He is in charge of the businesses around the streets of Pingcun Town, and he seems to have a lot of power.
When it came to Jiang Yize, none of the four had a good impression of him. Shen Qianyao talked about meeting him when he bought a barbecue that night, and felt that this person was too familiar.Xiaoyu couldn't understand his behavior of bringing people here twice to buy chickens at a low price. A policeman was like a hooligan.Mangzi has dealt with Jiang Yize many times, saying that he is young, good-looking and likes to curry favor with others.
The three of them looked at Su Youqin at the same time after complaining, their eyes were so consistent, Su Youqin had no choice but to type to tell him how he got to know him, and Xiao Yu pointed out the essence: "He must have met Zhu Chenghe and knew you, and wanted to have a relationship."
Zhu Cheng has been doing business in the town and city for so many years, and has connections and assets.
The smell of beer wafted through the house.Su Youqin stirred the beer with a spoon, seeing bubbles around the lemon slices, turned off the fire and filled the beer.
Jujube and wolfberry lemon rock sugar beer is Su Youqin's must-have drink in winter.The hot beer warms the stomach, the rock sugar makes the beer sweet and not greasy, and the red dates and wolfberry lemon add a healthy color to this drink.
It was the first time for the other three people to see this way of drinking beer, and they were all curious.When the beer cooled down a bit, Shen Qianyao and Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when they took a sip. Most people like this hot, sweet and refreshing taste.Mangzi was also full of praise, but he thought that the brewed beer was too low in alcohol and not exciting enough for drinkers like them.
Just drinking and not eating seems too monotonous.Xiaoyu and Mangzi took out the cooked sausages, turkey legs and bacon from the refrigerator, scalded them with boiling water and cut a few plates of appetizers in no time.
Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao were sitting next to each other, and they picked up hot cups and bumped into each other. Under the crisp sound of the glass colliding, the two of them smiled with brows and eyes crooked.
A bit of lemon residue fell on Su Youqin's lips, and Shen Qianyao raised his hand to wipe away the lemon residue.Xiaoyu saw this scene when he turned around.She stopped carrying the plate, Mangzi gently pushed her: "Take it away, take it away."
She covered her emotions in her eyes, and returned to the table with the appetizers.
This afternoon, Xiaoyu's attention was all on Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao, and he didn't see any problems.After drinking and eating, and after the game was over, Xiaoyu asked Mangzi if he found that Youqin and Qianyao had a good relationship.
Mangzi didn't realize it. He always felt that the relationship between women was very good. When shopping with Xiaoyu and her friends, he often felt excluded.
Xiaoyu thinks about it, yes, there is often no sense of distance between girls.
Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao naturally didn't know about the chat between Xiaoyu and Mangzi.After the two returned from the chicken farm, Shen Qianyao sat on the sofa and worked overtime.Su Youqin moved out of the computer to do work.
The two people in the same space did not disturb each other, and spent a weekend.
The final exams of the school are coming soon, and it will be over soon.Before the official winter vacation, there are still five days to correct the papers and get the results.
The winter vacation is approaching, and the New Year is also approaching, and many people in the town who have worked outside have come back one after another.
It was late spring and early summer when Su Youqin returned to the small town. As soon as the migrant workers came back, she felt that there were many more people on the road.
Sister Cui has been in a low mood for the past few days.There is no difference between doing things and chatting with guests as before, but when I have nothing to do, I will occasionally be in a daze.
Su Youqin observed her for several days, and at the end of the day's business, he couldn't help but was ready to ask her.
The store cleaning is over.Sister Cui stood in the kitchen clearing the steamer and other utensils.Su Youqin stood by the kitchen, turned on the audio playback facing her, and asked her if something happened and if there was anything she could do to help.
Sister Cui categorically denied it.She also smiled to tell Su Youqin not to worry, but her smile was mixed with other things, which was easy for people to see.
She didn't want to say it, and Su Youqin had no way of knowing, so she just told her that if she needed help, she could tell herself that there were always more ways for two people than one.
Probably very few people care about it like this.Sister Cui was a little at a loss, and she hesitated for a few days, until the day when the students went to get their report cards, she pulled Su Youqin to tell her about herself.
It turned out that she had been struggling with her husband for the past few days.
Sister Cui's husband is Sun Ping.Their marriage was arranged by their parents.
Sun Ping's family was poor, and he was short and thin. When he was young, many girls looked down on him.Sister Cui's family is also poor, and she was sallow and emaciated before she got married.Poor and poor, under the matching of a matchmaker, the two parents met and discussed, and they got married when they thought it was feasible.
After getting married, Sister Cui found out that Sun Ping's family was really poor, and they borrowed wedding clothes from other people's homes.Sun Ping was ten years older than Sister Cui, and was the eldest in the family. At that time, he was 27 or [-] years old. There were four younger sisters and one younger brother in the family. The younger brother was only thirteen or fourteen years old.Two younger sisters were married off, but the families of the married ones were not well-off.
Sun Ping's parents are not in good health.As soon as Sister Cui came in, she had to take on the job of taking care of the family.
Sun Ping can't do anything but grow food.But for food, the production of food is not high, and agricultural taxes have to be paid. After a year of hard work, it can only be said that the family will not die of hunger.But people at that time endured hardships and stood hard work, gritted their teeth and carried them, and they also carried them over.
It's just that the two have been married for four or five years, and Sister Cui has never been pregnant.Rumors spread in the village that Sister Cui could not bear children.Gradually, Sun Ping also thought so.Started beating Sister Cui at home.
Sister Cui swallowed it with one gulp.
During the Spring Festival of that year, Sun Ping's childhood playmate came back from outside and asked Sun Ping to go out to work with him.The playmate talked about it in a hype, but Sun Ping couldn't resist the temptation, so he carried his bags and went to the coastal area with his playmate after the new year.
Sister Cui was left alone to farm at home to take care of the family.
Because they have no children, Sun Ping's parents are not very kind to Sister Cui, and even Sun Ping's younger siblings are not good to her.Sister Cui was wronged, and often sat alone by the side of the field and cried.
It was at this time that Chen Jianhua appeared in the village.He entered the village from a distant mountain, and was discussed with pokes on his spine.The girl he married into was in very bad health and had a bad temper.Only the girl's mother was kind to him.
Two people who can't get warmth at home often meet in the corner of the field.Chen Jianhua saw Sister Cui crying while working several times.As time went by, it was probably because of the sympathy for each other. After Chen Jianhua finished his work, he would help Sister Cui dig a few hoe.But the two did not say a few words.
At the end of the year, Sun Ping came back from the coastal city with a sum of money. The money was not much, but it was enough for the family to spend a happy new year.
However, this happiness didn't last long. Sun Ping heard rumors from somewhere, and when Sister Cui was collecting pickles with the villagers in the yard, he beat Sister Cui and knocked her unconscious.The villagers were terrified and shouted that Sun Ping had killed his wife.
Sun Ping was also frightened, went home and walked away with his bags on his back.
Sister Cui was sent to the Barefoot Doctor by the villagers.The barefoot doctor gave her acupuncture and poured traditional Chinese medicine to save her life.After being rescued, she went back to her natal family, and her natal family persuaded her to go back, so she had to go back to Sun's family and continue to take care of the Sun family.
That beating made Sister Cui feel completely chilled.She lost her thoughts about the Sun family, and started saving money secretly while taking care of the Sun family's parents.
Not long after, Chen Jianhua's wife suddenly fell ill and died.Everyone in the village went to help. At the funeral, Sister Cui looked at Chen Jianhua from a distance. The tall man was so haggard that the wind could blow him down.
After the funeral, Chen Jianhua did not leave the village.But because there are two unmarried sister-in-laws in the family, he moved to live in a small courtyard at the end of the village to avoid suspicion.The house in that courtyard was dilapidated, not sheltered from wind or rain.
Sister Cui passed by several times, worried that the house would collapse.
One day when she was working in the field, she saw Chen Jianhua fall from the edge of the field. She threw the hoe and ran over. Only when she got close did she realize that he had passed out.
Sister Cui called someone to send Chen Jianhua to the barefoot doctor. The doctor said that he was anemic and in poor health and needed to supplement nutrition.
Back home, Sister Cui quietly sent vegetables and meat to Chen Jianhua.This gift, send a feeling out.
In the winter of this year, Sun Ping, who learned that Sister Cui was fine, returned home again.Not long after he came back, Sister Cui returned to her natal home. After the new year, Sun Ping forcibly took her back from her natal home, and soon left home again.Three months after leaving, Sister Cui found out that she was pregnant.
The Sun family was instantly happy.
Sun Ping was 33 years old at that time.After having a child, the Sun family treated Sister Cui better.After giving birth, Sun Ping stopped beating her when she came back.
Two years later, Sun Ping suddenly stopped going home.I only send some money to my family at the end of each year.It wasn't until the two children were in junior high school that Sun Ping was urged home by continuous phone calls from his parents.Not long after he returned home, despite Sister Cui's obstruction, he decided to take the child to work.
It wasn't until Sun Ping's parents passed away that the father and son came back to attend the funeral. After the funeral, the child wanted to take Sister Cui away, but Sister Cui was unwilling, so she was introduced by relatives to work in the middle school kitchen in the town.
Last year when Sun Ping came back with his child, the child decided to force his father to take out 2 yuan, plus the money he had worked for seven or eight years, to buy a small second-hand house in the town for Sister Cui to live in.
Some time ago, the child called Sister Cui and suddenly asked her if she wanted to divorce Sun Ping.
The child's words frightened Sister Cui.Sister Cui thought about it for several days and found that she was full of anticipation for this matter.She said: "There are several divorced women in the town. Sun Ping must have someone outside, otherwise the children would not want us to divorce."
"But Sun Ping is unwilling to divorce."
Su Youqin was silent for a long time after listening to the whole story.She had heard about the rural marriage tragedy many times, and when she looked at Sister Cui in front of her, thinking of her usual bold and optimistic appearance, she sighed and felt distressed.
She sent a message to Li Mumu and asked Sister Cui what to do in this situation. As a village official, Li Mumu was very familiar with the women director in the village.
Li Mumu quickly replied, saying that the women directors in the village were all trying to persuade them to make peace but not to leave. In this case, if the man refused to agree to divorce, he could only go to court.
Go to court?Sister Cui shook her head repeatedly.In her eyes, going to court is a serious matter.Su Youqin quickly comforted Sister Cui and told her not to panic.
In Su Youqin's eyes, as the biggest victim of this marriage, Sister Cui's request for a divorce is not too much.
She was going to find someone to ask.
The phone vibrated, and Li Mumu sent a message: "I'm free tomorrow, I'll come to see you."
"Don't go to the women's director or the cadres in the village, it's useless."
"I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Thanks for reading.

I received a message from JJ yesterday saying that I can’t write about historical events and figures. If I write bad things about the so-called women directors and village committee officials, will I be judged?scary. . . .
