Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

Chapter 12 Sisters talk

Chapter 12 Sisters Talk

Seeing the elder sister’s dimmed eyes, Han Mingxiu felt strangely uncomfortable, and almost blurted out and asked the three of them to come back and spend time with her.

But thinking about it, I feel unrealistic. The eldest sister is the kind of traditional woman who marries chickens and dogs and dogs. As long as she can live with her in-laws, she will never drag her children back to her natal family to make trouble for her younger sister.

Furthermore, she is about to give birth. Maybe she can give birth to a big fat boy. If she has a son, the days may turn around. Therefore, the eldest sister will never agree to her, at least not at this time.

Of course, if you still have a girl, your eldest sister’s life will be even worse. At that time, it won’t be too late for her to come back…

“Sister, can you live at home today?” Han Mingxiu asked.

Considering that the elder sister is heavy and the road is cold and slippery outside, and it is not easy to walk back and forth, she thought about letting the elder sister stay at home for one night, she would make her some delicious tonic, and then make some steamed noodles. Some steamed buns, let her take them back to eat for the two nephews and daughters.

Sister    said, “No, there are still a lot of things at home, I will leave in a while, and I will be relieved if you are okay.”

Han Mingxiu did not reluctantly, she knew the situation of the eldest sister’s house, if she went back late, her mother-in-law and brother-in-law should have something to do again, so let her go back earlier, and save them trouble.

“Take me to boil some water for you, you wait.” Seeing the eldest sister sitting on the edge of the kang and just beating her leg, she knew that she must be in a hurry. She must be thirsty this time, so she wanted to give her a boil. Drink some warm water.

Sister    said, “Don’t bother, just give me some cold water to drink.”

“It’s no trouble. I just want to drink it too.” Han Mingxiu pulled the remaining pimple soup into his mouth, got up and cleaned up all the dishes on the table, and went into the kitchen, while boiling water. Brush the bowl and chopsticks.

The eldest sister did not see her outside, and sat on the head of the kang, across the wall, and the two sisters were talking in the kitchen in each room.

“Xiu, did your second sister write to you during this time?”

“No, the second sister hasn’t written to me for a long time. Didn’t you write to you?” Han Mingxiu was brushing the pot with a brush.

The second sister in her mouth is the second child of the family, named Han Mingyu. She is 19 years old. She married to the county seat before her parents’ accident last fall. Her husband’s name is Lin. Her husband is still a petty official, and it seems to be an acquisition. The stationmaster, after the second sister got married, she was arranged by her father-in-law to work as a temporary worker at the purchase station. She can earn 12 yuan a month, and more than 100 a year, which is better than the big master who earns work points in the village. We all make a lot of money, and they are about to make the gang of big girls and little wives in the village greedy to death.

However, other people’s eyes are someone else’s, Han Mingxiu is not, because only she knows what life the second sister is living in the city.

Although the second sister-in-law is very kind to the second sister, the second sister’s in-laws and mother-in-law are very unwilling to see the second sister, and they always make her angry, not only do not give her a good face, but also directly show to the second sister that they look down on the countryside. People, the second sister is not allowed to recruit rural relatives at home.

At that time, Han Mingxiu didn’t know the status of her second sister in her husband’s house. After her father and mother died, she went to her second sister’s house stupidly, planning to stay there for a while to relax, but after spending a day at someone’s house, she became desperate. I’m back, and I won’t talk about going to the city with relatives anymore…

The second sister was arranged by her father-in-law to work as a temporary worker at their acquisition station. She went to work every day and was busy at work. She didn’t have time to come back to see her sister, but occasionally she would write her a letter or two asking about her situation. The communication between the two sisters depends entirely on correspondence.

Later, Han Mingxiu was ordered by her grandmother to give Zhang Er’s donkey, Han Mingxiu also specially wrote a letter to the second sister for help, but somehow, the second sister never responded to her, nor came back to see her.

She had nowhere to ask for help, hitting walls everywhere, and finally hit the wall in despair and died…

For the second sister who did not respond to her letter or did not come back to help her, the original owner felt resentful, thinking that the second sister was ruthless and unrighteous, patronizing her own life, regardless of her sister’s life or death…

But now Han Mingxiu feels that she shouldn’t blame her second sister. By reminiscing about her childhood, she feels that second sister is not the kind of person who cares about her sister’s life and death to live a good life. The reason why she didn’t reply to this letter and didn’t come back to help her. There must be something wrong with it.

As for what the problem is, she hasn’t figured it out yet, but it will definitely not be the second sister who cares about her.

“I didn’t write to me either, and this girl didn’t know what to do. It has been a few months without a letter. It’s really worrying…” The eldest sister was worrying about it in the room.

Han Mingxiu said, “I’m going to the town to do something in the past two days, or should I stop by the county to see her?”

“Well, it’s okay to go and have a look. Just go there and take a look. Don’t eat at someone’s house.” The eldest sister knew that the second sister’s in-laws looked down on rural people, and she was afraid that the younger sister would be ignorant of eating at other people’s homes, so she asked. One sentence.

Han Mingxiu said, “I’m not going to see her at her house. I’m going to see her at their purchase station, but I can’t meet his family.”

“That’s fine, your second sister is so easy to marry in the city, let’s not hinder her.”

“Ok, I know.”

“By the way, what are you going to do in town? Who do you go with?”

Han Mingxiu said, “I plan to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a few meters of plastic sheeting and fix the windows. You see, it’s cold in this room, and it doesn’t feel hot when it burns. I thought about fixing the windows and the wind wouldn’t come in. The house can be warmed up too”

The eldest sister said, “You kid, the longer you get, the more delicate. Our family never ordered plastic sheets in winter. We never heard you whisper about being too cold before. Why do you think of buying that stuff now? How much money is it? !”

Han Mingxiuxin said, I used to live in a building with collective heating. In winter, the room temperature was above 20 degrees Celsius. I have become accustomed to that temperature. I can’t bear to live in these small ventilated houses.

Hearing Han Mingxiu didn’t say anything, the eldest sister seemed to think that what she said was a bit overdone, so she hurriedly asked for some supplements and said: “It’s okay to buy some, but you don’t need to go to town. It’s weird to run back and forth because of hunger. It’s the first day of the new year. It’s good to go to the market when the market is on the first day. The goods are available in the market and the things are cheap. Many things don’t need a ticket. Your brother-in-law buys things when there is a market.”

The bazaar in the mouth of the elder sister is a big bazaar held by several production teams on the first and fifteenth days of each month. In these two days, each production team will go to the bazaar to bring their chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock Or surplus production materials such as grain and firewood are sold at the market at fair prices and cheaper than usual. The supply and marketing society and shops will move the backlog of goods to the market for sale. If you don’t want it, everyone buys everything. Willing to go to the store to buy it.
