The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 50

The post office and car dealership are on the same street, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. But today was the weekend, so many people on the street, Li Sanhu and Ma Xiuzhen always kept a safe distance of three meters.

But after all he was a male, his height was here, and his steps were relatively large, so when he walked, he found that Ma Xiuzhen was left behind again.

Li Sanhu turned around to wait for him, took off the straw hat on his head, and fanned it in his hands. When he saw Ma Xiuzhen catching up, he asked her, "Did Comrade Ma go to the post office? Send a letter , next time I can take it to the commune for you.”

At the brigade, Li Sanhu usually went to the commune for business, so he often helped educated youth bring letters to the post office. But according to Li Sanhu's knowledge of Ma Xiuzhen, he seemed to rarely write letters home, and few people wrote to him.

Of course ... Li Sanhu had never cared about these things before, but he suddenly remembered them today.

“Send some money to family.” Ma Xiuzhen's face was calm, and the weather was hot, with a few bangs stuck to his forehead, which looked rather damp.

But how much money can he have? Li Sanhu was present when accountant Yang distributed the dividend last night If he remembered correctly, Ma Xiuzhen only received a dividend of 50 yuan yesterday.

Male educated youth are strong workers, and most of them get a bonus of sixty or seventy yuan, but lesbians have limited physical strength, and they get fifty yuan, he said, that's tolerable. But for fifty yuan, would Ma Xiuzhen still have to send it home?

If Li Sanhu remembered correctly, not only would Liu Yiyi never send money home, instead, remittances would come from the city every two or three months.

Comparing people to people ... It really cannot be compared ...

"Your money isn't enough to spend, is it? Why don't you keep it to yourself?" Li Sanhu felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and his expression became extremely complicated when he looked towards Ma Xiuzhen.

In fact, most educated youth are forced to go to the countryside, after graduation, the government cannot arrange jobs, or his family must have a place to go to the countryside, so they can only come to the countryside. But after all, it is the right attitude to be able to improve your attitude and integrate into the local production team in the countryside.

"You can't spend a lot of money on the production team. Unlike in the city, you need money and tickets everywhere, and you can't live without a little. "

Ma Xiuzhen did not feel how pitiful he was. It was also normal. Parents will side with their sons and feel that their daughters will be part of someone else's family in the future This concept is deeply entrenched. So then... If one person in the family had to go to the countryside, they would easily let the daughter who would marry in the future go, and leave the opportunity to live in the city to the boys.

“How many children are in your family?” Li Sanhu asked, he suddenly realized that he knew too little about Ma Xiuzhen, and about Liu Yiyi, he even knew the nickname of Liu Yiyi's younger brother and sister.

"Three, I'm second." They arrived at the post office. Ma Xiuzhen took the money order and filled it. Standing beside him, Li Sanhu saw him writing "Sanshi Yuanyuan" on the money order.

"You only keep twenty yuan to yourself, isn't that too little? You've been busy for half a year ..."

Li Sanhu felt depressed and panicked. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he also felt that he had nothing to do with Ma Xiuzhen Well, he had no reason to interfere with his decision, either, even if he sent all the money to his house, it had nothing to do with him.

He said in front of Li Yufeng that he should care more for Ma Xiuzhen, but in reality, he could not find a chance to care for her at all. Ma Xiuzhen was different from Liu Yiyi, he was not the type of person who needed to rely on others, and his attention seemed to be a little excessive for such a person.

"The production team has food rations, storing some flowers will last until autumn."

Ma Xiuzhen was completely unaware of Li Sanhu's attachment. In fact, it was just routine for him. He went to the countryside for more than two years. Due to the poor food and drink conditions in the countryside, other educated youth often spent money on some meat tickets, of course the money was not enough, but he did not pursue it, so as long as the normal costs were maintained, it was not enough, although life is tight, the stomach will not be hungry.

But in Li Sanhu's eyes, it seemed like he had been severely persecuted.

The Li family only had one daughter, Li Yufeng, what kind of life did she live? All the men in the Lao Li family surrounded him, and Chen Zhaodi loved him even more, which made Li Sanhu think that women should be very well liked.

Even if you don't compare her to Li Yufeng, when the other girls in the village get married, they will have a decent dowry a bit more, so that their daughters cannot lift their heads in the husband's house after marriage, and live miserable lives.

“OK, let's go.”

Ma Xiuzhen had added the remittance slip, but when he raised his head, he saw Li Sanhu standing to the side with a puzzled expression. Li Sanhu regained his senses after being summoned like this, and looked at Ma Xiuzhen in front of him, still the same, with a bright smile on his face, and he did not complain about the difficulties of life.

All this suffering seemed calm to him, he never shed tears in front of others, nor did he show sadness, and he was always energetic and optimistic.

“OK, let's go.” Li Sanhu stopped, and followed behind Ma Xiuzhen.

...

Li Yufeng did not feel awkward with this kind of respectful gaze, but Zhao Guodong felt embarrassed, and standing next to her belongings, her face slightly hot.

Fortunately, after a busy farming season, her skin color returned to dark, making it difficult for others to tell if her face was dark or red.

“Show me that light blue one.” In fact, in this era, rare materials, advanced printing and dyeing technologies from abroad have not been introduced, and the types of fabrics are very few. But even though the options are not many, you should try to choose one that makes you more satisfied.

The seller took the entire cloth off the shelf and handed it to Li Yufeng It is a big customer today, and he just pulled a few meters of nice cloth.

Li Yufeng picked it up and saw Zhao Guodong standing near the counter, walking up with the cloth and comparing it to him.

Zhao Guodong became nervous. He lowered his head and looked around. Seeing the people around him looking at them with attention from time to time, his entire face turned red, even the neck beneath his white sweater.

"I don't need ..." Zhao Guodong frowned in embarrassment.

"Why don't you?" Li Yufu compared and compared them, and found that the light blue color was quite suitable for him. Looking at his timid appearance, he deliberately frowned and said, "Are you ... planning to wear this in the future? Tight jerseys dangling in front of people?"

How did Zhao Guodong understand the meaning of Li Yufeng's words, he frowned and could not understand them, but Li Yufeng continued: "Everything is open, I don't see the girls Is the salesman looking at you? He must like you

." His flirtatious and accusatory tone, coupled with his pursed lips, made Zhao Guodong feel his heart soften, and he was so embarrassed that he could not speak. I had no choice but to say: "I'm listening to you."

Li Yufeng managed to act flirtatious, narrowed her almond eyes and compared the cloth on it, and said with a smile: "I'm listening to you ?"

Zhao Guodong nodded, with a serious face: "Well, you are my partner, you have the final say."

Ma

Xiuzhen accompanied Li Sanhu to the fertilizer factory.

Chemical fertilizers are also limited these days, and farm fertilizers in the fields mainly rely on livestock manure. But the production team has several hectares of high-yielding fields, all of which have been fostered Every year, the production team will spend some money to buy fertilizer at the chemical fertilizer plant in the district.

The chemical fertilizer smelled pungent, which Li Sanhu said Liu Yiyi disliked.He brought a few bags of chemical fertilizer to the tractor, and when he returned, he brought a few bags of chemical fertilizer to the tractor, he saw Ma Xiuzhen struggling dragging a bag of chemical fertilizer to the ground.

There are 50 catties of chemical fertilizers in the area, and lesbians should not transfer them. Li Sanhu hurriedly said: "Quick put it down, I'll do it."

Ma Xiuzhen stopped, wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "The last bag is here."

Li Sanhu nodded, bowed and gave fertilizer to After lifting him up, Ma Xiuzhen rushed forward to help him, and placed a round bag of fertilizer on his shoulder. Li Sanhu moved seven or eight bags in a row, his face flushed red, he walked to the side of the tractor, and stacked the fertilizer neatly.

“This.” Ma Xiuzhen took out his handkerchief from the green army bag and handed it to Li Sanhu.

Right now, he was tired and sweating profusely. Li Sanhu did not think too much about it. She took a lesbian handkerchief and wiped it. Why don't you sit in front? Chemical fertilizer smells bad inside back."

"It's okay, and I'm not the only one." Ma Xiuzhen took the handkerchief Li Sanhu returned, lowered his head, but there was a smile on his face.

"I thought you guys were so soft." Li Sanhu said bluntly, he actually thought so the entire time: "Look at Yufeng, he has never been on the field since he was a child, but he has never been on the field, and his ankle was cut the first time he went into the field."

It's because he's so lucky to have a family like yours." Ma Xiuzhen said slowly, the smile on his face looked a lot faded, but even if he was not as lucky as Li Yufeng, he should have blamed others, he should have lived his life Still had to leave.

“Did your family treat you badly?” Li Sanhu became even more confused. The family treated him badly, so why would he still send the money back? Why didn't he feel sorry for such a dense-eyed girl?

“Not bad.” Ma Xiuzhen lowered his head, with a smile on his lips, and said lightly, “Old people are always selfish, and we should not blame them for this.” To Li Sanhu, But also very understanding

. Just like her, there was the eldest child above, and the fourth and fifth child below, she, the third child, but he was definitely the most inconspicuous. Sometimes Li Sanhu felt the same confusion, and Ma Xiuzhen's words immediately touched his heart.
