Chapter 33: Thin
When Hua Zhao was chatting with her aunt and sister-in-law about pine nuts, she suddenly retched.
When they said that the "good thing" had been overdue for a month and had not come yet, the aunts and sisters were all excited.
"You have it!" Aunt Ma excitedly said, "You have it once, and you are so lucky!"
Several other people were reminded, and their eyes unknowingly felt strange.
It's human nature, such a coincidence is too rare.
Hua Zhao had no choice but to smooth things out for himself, and said in a serious tone, "It's not one time. If you count it as you taught me, it would have been five or six times that night."
"Pfft!" Seven or eight people sprayed together, looking at Hua Zhao, his face and eyes were red.
What man is this?
Why do you like Hua Zhao?
Oh, people are dolls, then there is no way.
This Hua Zhao is too lucky!
Suddenly, a woman in her thirties, Sister Liu asked in a low voice, "Five or six times a night, what does that feel like?"
Hua Zhao thought for a while and said seriously, "I'm tired."
"Pfft!" Everyone squirted again.
But Mrs. Liu said, "Just because of your physique, you can say that you are tired, it is definitely not ordinary!" Hua Zhao is someone who can change the water for 750 baskets of bean sprouts without resting!
"Huh? Speaking of physique, have you noticed that Hua Zhao has lost weight?" Aunt Ma suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Hua Zhao again. The clothes that were originally full and their buttons seemed to collapse at any time were now a little loose on her body.
The round, pear-shaped figure in the past now looks like a corn instead of a pear.
The upper and lower sides are thick, and the whole person looks very strong, but it cannot be said to be fat.
A lot of fat has gone.
Hua Zhao patted her body with satisfaction. After a month and a few days of hard work, she lost 70 pounds of meat by the standard of about 2 pounds per day! Yesterday, she went to the village to weigh on the scale, and she weighed 160 pounds!
Coupled with her height of 170, although she is still a bit fat, she looks like a normal person.
And she will continue to lose weight! The future can be expected!
"And look, the little flowers are white!" Aunt Ma suddenly shouted.
When everyone saw it, it really did.
Hua Zhao's original face became fat and became an equilateral triangle. With that big face, the flesh was about to fall. Now, the extra flesh is gone, and her face has become an oval face. Standard, but no longer dare to say that people are black.
Sister-in-law Liu suddenly leaned over to face Hua Zhao, and asked everyone, "Look who is white between us?"
Everyone took a closer look, and the skin color of the two people was almost the same.
This sister-in-law Liu was a beauty when she was young. The biggest advantage is that she is white. Although she is in her 30s, doing heavy farm work every day, she is already haggard and old, but compared to her peers, she is still white.
Now that Hua Zhao is on the same level as her, who would dare to call her black?
"Xiaohua, what vanishing cream did you use?" another sister-in-law asked. She didn't need to compare to know that she was darker than Hua Zhao now.
"It's sold by the town's supply and marketing agency. It's 50 cents a bottle." Hua Zhao said, "But I don't think it's about vanishing cream. I used vanishing cream before, isn't it as black as carbon? I think I am white. Well, it's because of eating bean sprouts every day."
"It makes sense." Aunt Ma suddenly said, "Since I learned to make raw bean sprouts and eat them every day, I feel a lot lighter these days. These bean sprouts are really good."
"Oh, if you say that, so am I! I used to be dizzy and confused, and when it was serious, my eyes would turn black, but these days have suddenly disappeared. I still don't know why it's better, so it's here Bean sprouts are in trouble!"
"Oh, so do I!"
Several people communicated immediately, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the bean sprouts were magical, and then it became more pleasing to the eye when they saw Hua Zhao.
This is the blessing that people bring to them!
"Look at this little flower, people are beautiful when they are thin!"
"Look at those big eyes, watery and fluffy."
"And this nose, which is tall and straight."
"And this little mouth, red and beautiful."
"And hair, black and shiny."
Everyone praised and was surprised to find that Hua Zhao was actually not ugly at all!
The facial features are all beautiful when viewed individually, and they are harmonious together, but they are still a little fatter. If they are thinner, they will definitely look better.
"Hua, you have to keep your mouth shut in the future, eat less at a meal, and if you eat too much, you will gain weight. It will be hard to have a baby by then!" Aunt Ma began to impart her experience.
"Thank you, Auntie, I understand." Hua Zhao smiled.
Sweet voice.
This time, everyone watched and listened, and it didn't feel weird anymore.
At the beginning, when Hua Zhao, who was fat and strong like a bear opened his mouth, they wanted to laugh...
"And that work, do less work, don't be tired, the month is low, you have to be careful." Another aunt said.
"Thanks to the county where you don't need your help, or you won't be tired if you think about it."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm not alive now." Hua Zhao smiled.
She originally set up a business with the supply and marketing cooperative, but after she gave 200 catties, she also gave up.
Even if they cried and begged Wang Meng, she did not continue.
The supply and marketing cooperative has already opened to order 1,000 catties a day, and it will definitely continue to increase orders in the future.
In this case, the daily income is one or two hundred yuan, or even a few hundred.
A few hundred a day? And it's news that can't be hidden, she's going to be a standout.
After thinking about the current environment, she still held back.
Not to mention that it is only 1976, even in the early 1980s, the management of the private economy is also very confusing, and there is no unified rule of thumb.
The big brother who sold the melon seeds went in several times.
She has children to take care of, so she can't go in.
"Hua, when did your man come?" Aunt Ma asked suddenly.
"April 25." Hua Zhao answered very accurately.
She clearly remembered the days when she came across.
"I'll do the math for you, when will I be born." Aunt Ma said.
Seven or eight women counted together, and finally set the due date, probably in the middle of January next year.
Pretty accurate.
According to scientific algorithms, Hua Zhao was almost on that day.
But not in my memory, because she was pregnant with twins, and because of the original work, she was born prematurely and gave birth to a pair of frail and sickly little ones.
This time, she has to take good care of her and give her babies a good body. This is the best gift she can give them as a mother.
After exchanging a lot of experience in raising a baby with the aunts, Hua Zhao went home satisfied.
The first thing after returning home, of course, was to tell the good news to the child's father.
Hua Zhao wrote a second letter to Ye Shen.
After writing it thoughtfully, just as I was about to go to town for mail, the bicycle bell rang at the door.
Isn't the only bicycle in their village in her house?
Hua Zhao turned to look out the window, a dark green bicycle stopped at the gate, and a man in a dark green uniform stood beside him, holding a letter in his hand.
