How to Thrive in the ’60s

"Shangnan, why do you keep looking at my aunt, there is something dirty on my aunt's face?"

Yun Shuilian looked uncomfortable by Yun Chang, and her face became even more rosy against the background of the red scarf.

Yun Chang shook her head, her eyes still staring at Yun Shuilian.

Being stared at by such a warm and bold gaze, Yun Shuilian's face turned even redder, and she was so ashamed that she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

"Then... Is Changnan hungry? It's aunt's fault. I forgot to bring something to eat for Changnan. You can bear it again. When you pass by the town, aunt will buy you something delicious, okay?"

Widow Wang woke up early in the morning and started making troubles. She was so busy now, not to mention that the two little ones didn't eat, even the people of Lao Yun's family were so busy that they forgot to eat breakfast.

Sitting in the car at the moment, Yun Shuilian clutched her shriveled belly, thinking that her little niece must be hungry too, but she was too timid to say anything, so she kept staring at her.

Yun Chang blinked, avoiding the widow Wang who was holding the stone trough motionless, and cautiously climbed to the back of the car, nestled in Yun Shuilian's arms, and asked:

"Auntie, my mother is Xu Dalan who is ill. Why didn't our family seek compensation from Lao Wang's family? Why didn't their family take my mother to see a doctor?"

Yun Shuilian felt empty in her heart, she couldn't help turning her head away, avoiding Yun Chang's sight, and she was silent for a while before she said:

"...Shangnan, this is unfounded and unsubstantiated. The old Wang's family has designated that you cannot accept the account. Let's take your mother to the hospital today and listen to what the doctor said. If the doctor also said that your mother is ill with qi, Then when we go back, let the old Wang family make compensation and let his family see your mother."

Yun Chang nodded her head, and her heart opened.

Naturally, the old Wang family couldn't be sent to the hospital. If they followed, how could the Lao Yun family find acquaintances to find out the cause of Widow Wang's illness? If you can't find the cause, how can you throw the blame on Xu Dalan's head?

Probably afraid of being asked by Yun Chang, Yun Shuilian hugged Yun Chang and quickly changed the subject:

"Shangnan, you're almost in town, tell aunt what you want to eat, and aunt will buy it for you."

"Aunt, do you have a lot of money?"

"Shh, be quiet, I can't hear it for your second uncle." Yun Shuilian quickly covered Yun Chang's mouth, shrank her head and glanced at Yun Erchuan who was driving the car in front, and whispered against Yun Chang's ear, "Yes. The pocket money that my aunt saved at school, when she arrives in town to buy you delicious food, fills up your little gluttony."

The old couple of the Yun family are kind and love their children. They didn't ignore Yun Shuilian in every way because she was a girl, but because she was the youngest of the family, they were more partial to her.

Not only did she send Yun Shuilian to the town to attend elementary school under the strange and puzzled eyes of the villagers, but the whole family tightened her belt and sent her to the county to attend middle school. This is in Xinglin Village, no, it should be the whole town. are very rare.

Yun Shuilian is also sensible, and knows that her family is having a hard time. After graduating from middle school this year, she did not continue to take the high school or technical secondary school exams. Instead, she waited wholeheartedly for the county textile factory to recruit workers in February next year, and was ready to take part in work to reduce the burden on her family.

This is also the main reason why the old couple did not show Yun Shuilian her husband's house for the time being. Even though she was eighteen years old, she was a famous old girl in the village.

Knowing that Yun Shuilian was going to use pocket money to buy delicious food for herself, Yun Chang immediately turned around in Yun Shuilian's arms, staring at her with shining eyes.

"Auntie, you're amazing, you have private money!" Before Yun Shuilian could speak, Yun Chang asked again, "What will Auntie want to eat when she arrives in town?"

Thinking of the smell of the meat buns that Yun Erchuan brought back from the county town a few days ago, Yun Shuilian licked her lips, and then touched the pitiful four taels of food stamps and sixty cents in her pocket, sighed, and said:

"Auntie can eat soft millet noodles and yellow cake later. Can I buy cornmeal sugar cake for you and Comrade Gu Xiao?"

Yun Chang looked at Yun Shui Lian's two swarthy braids with envy on her face, and then touched the sparse yellow hair on her head.

Shaking his head, he refused:

"No, I also want to eat yellow cake with soft millet noodles! Aunt must have eaten yellow cake to look so good-looking. I also want to eat yellow cake and look as good-looking as my aunt."

The immature child's voice was crisp, loud, and righteous, which made Yun Erchuan, who was driving the car in front, couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Yun Shuilian's face turning red again, Yun Chang smirked and added:

"Just like my aunt, go to the city to find someone in the future!"

In the hilarious laughter of Yun Erchuan, Yun Shuilian threw Yun Chang into Gu Shinian's arms in shame, and turned around and didn't dare to look up again.

After ten minutes, several people finally arrived in the town. Passing by the state-run restaurant, Yun Shuilian jumped out of the car, and after calculating the food stamps and money for a long time, she was still not willing to buy yellow cakes for herself. In the end, I bought three miscellaneous grain cakes, and bought a piece of yellow cake for Yunshang and Gu Shinian each, and the group rushed to the county seat as soon as possible.

...

"Xu Dalan, why don't you go to the county to see your sister-in-law? If Lao Yun's family sue you, you will have to go to labor reform! You said that you are so wicked, that you have taken Yun Dachuan's life and bullied Wang Guihua to the door. You're crazy with anger, why are you still sitting at home..."

Xu Dalan's face was dumbfounded. She could understand every word spoken by the woman standing at the gate, but when she put it together, the more she heard it, the more confused she became.

Wang Guihua is crazy, why is she angry?

She went to find trouble with Wang Guihua two days ago, but she didn't see anyone, why did she make her popularity go crazy?

This must be fake, it must be this black-hearted long-tongued woman who is talking nonsense...

"What? What did you say?"

The old lady Wang suddenly came out of the room, swayed her feet, rushed to the gate a few steps, pointed at the woman who was sending the message and cursed:

"Erwa's family, what are you doing? I have good flowers, eat well, dress well, I don't know how happy my life is, why are you crazy? You dare to curse me with nonsense. Girl, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Erwa's daughter-in-law had a dog-like expression on her face. She passed a message to Xu Dalan, but was scolded by the old lady for no reason. Is there anything more ridiculous than this.

Immediately bluffing his face, he pointed at the old lady and scolded:

"Why don't you know what to do, old lady? My sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus has no grudges in the past and no resentment in the past, so what are you doing to curse her? Xinglin Village has spread all over the place now. I heard the news and kindly came to your house to spread a word, It’s still rumored, isn’t it? This kindness has not yet been rewarded, bah! It’s just that Wang Guihua doesn’t recognize you!”

Mrs. Wang was scolded by the second daughter-in-law who was a junior, her face turned blue with anger, but thinking of the news she just heard, she had to hold back her anger and asked in a good voice:

"Erwa's daughter-in-law, you just said what's wrong with the flowers in my house. Auntie didn't understand. Please tell Auntie slowly."
