Chapter 3 Bai Wuxin

"Don't worry! I will do what I say."

"Sister! Brother is lying to you, don't believe it." Jiang Bin did not hide his distrust of his brother.

"You don't believe it? Then I'll buy some good things and you won't be able to eat them if I can."

"I don't care about it!"

"This is what you said. Not only do I want to buy you new clothes, I also want to buy your sister a new bicycle. When school starts again, you can ride a new bicycle."

Jiang Xue was so happy that her face turned red with excitement.

It’s the second half of the first year of junior high school when school starts again. It would be really great to have a new bicycle.

Except for Jiang Xue, who firmly believed Jiang Yu's words, the whole family's parents and Jiang Bin agreed that Jiang Yu was just talking, and no one took it seriously.

"If you are really capable, you can buy a TV for your home." Jiang Bin is not good at studying, but he is the first to argue.

Televisions have now begun to enter the homes of ordinary people. There are more than 70 households in Huangling Village, and more than a dozen families already have televisions.

But the dozen or so families definitely do not include the Jiang family, whose family doesn't even have a radio.

"Yes, we will have a TV at home next year, and it will be in color."

Jiang Bin couldn't stand listening anymore, so he put his chopsticks down and disappeared without a trace.

This brother was quite normal when he first came back from demobilization. What kind of madness has he committed today? Why did he start bragging?

Jiang Yu and Jiang Xue cleared the table and returned to the room where they and their brother Jiang Bin lived.

The walls and ceiling were also covered with newspapers, and in some places the newspapers were torn, revealing the dark walls inside.

Because the single-layer windows were not closed well, a bit of cold wind would flow in from time to time, making the temperature in the room a bit low.

Jiang Yu felt the warmth of the kang and spread out the bedding.

Then I found a small wooden stick to measure the size of my parents' window without glass.

He planned to replace the glass in his house with a piece of glass. He and his brother were young and strong, so they blocked it up with tattered cotton-padded jackets for one night and then talked about it tomorrow.

It's a pity that the carpenter who made this window must have been a big-eyed carpenter. The sizes of the two windows were actually different. None of the six pieces of glass he had was of the right size. It was impossible to press on my parents' windows without a glass knife.

Already.

He didn't even have a meter stick at home, so how could he have a glass knife?

Let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Jiang Yu lay on his back on the kang, closing his eyes and thinking about something.

His parents and younger brother didn't take what he just said seriously, but he himself took it seriously.

Buying a new set of clothes for the whole family, including the fabrics and handicrafts, costs about 100 yuan.

It will cost about 150 yuan to buy a new bicycle for my sister, and then buy firecrackers and food.

There are less than fifty days between now and the Chinese New Year. During this period, he needs to earn at least three hundred yuan to achieve these goals.

Last year was the first year that Huangling Village implemented household-based production quotas. It was a good harvest year, and every household's income was only three to four hundred yuan.

It takes him less than two months to earn the equivalent of a villager's annual income, which is quite difficult.

Just when Jiang Yu was just starting to think about what he could do to achieve the great feat he had boasted about years ago, Zhang Shanbo came running around and couldn't help but drag Jiang Yu away.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Let's go to Yang Wan's house! If we go too late, there won't be a good place. Then we'll have to stand while watching TV."

Yang Wan's family is one of the only dozen or so families in Huangling Village that owns a TV set. The couple are very hospitable, so every night, his house is crowded with people, and his house is used as a movie theater.

Jiang Yu actually didn't want to join in the fun. Even if the people were hospitable, the house would be crowded with people every day, which would make anyone feel bored.

If there are a few more smokers, the room will basically be filled with smoke.

But Zhang Shanbo couldn't hold him back and kept dragging him, so he was half-pushed and half-dragged by this guy to Yang Wan's house.

When passing by Bai Feng's house, this little girl ran out of the house with half a piece of pancake in her hand like the wind, following them like a follower.

When Jiang Yu left home as a soldier at the age of seventeen, Bai Feng was thirteen years old and a yellow-haired girl with a runny nose.

After several years of not seeing each other, this little girl has already blossomed into a tall and graceful girl.

Her height of 1.68 meters makes her stand out among the girls in Huangling Village, and her appearance has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Although she is only sixteen years old now, she is already the beauty of Huangling Village.

Jiang Yu is a little confused, how did this guy with a runny nose turn himself into a flower-like jade? Could it be that he took some miraculous medicine that is not easy to digest?

It is said that many young men in Fengwopu Village are interested in her.

It's just that this guy has a bit of a bad temperament. He likes to talk and laugh rather than read. He dropped out of school as soon as he graduated from elementary school and went home to herd cattle. Now he is also an old driver...an old commune member.

"Brother Jiang Yu! Are there any female soldiers in your army?" This guy talks a lot when he appears.

"Yes! There are many female soldiers."

"Do female soldiers also go to the battlefield?"

"Female soldiers are usually in the medical system and communication system, and usually do not go directly to the battlefield, Bai Wuxin! Why are you asking this? Do you want to be a soldier?"

"Brother Jiang Yu! If you call me Bai Wuxin again, I will fall out with you." Bai Feng said fiercely.

Bai Feng is heartless all day long. This is a woman who can turn into a black whirlwind at any time, Lin Daiyu.

Jiang Yu gave her a nickname: Bai Wuxin.

"Scream! Why are you falling out? Do you still dare to bite me? Come on! Bite here, I promise not to fight back." Jiang Yu pointed at his own cheek and moved his face closer.

Otherwise, Bai Feng was heartless. She really wanted to bite Jiang Yu in the face, but she seemed to react at the last moment.

"Oh! Brother Jiang Yu! Why do you suddenly seem to be a different person? You learned bad things in the army."

Naturally, Bai Feng didn't know that Jiang Yu was a reborn person, and blamed his transformation on the troops.

Jiang Yu and Zhang Shanbo laughed.

"Bai Feng is right! I also think you seem to have changed. You would never say such words before."

Jiang Yu smiled and said nothing more.

Yang Wan used to work as a driver in Huangling Village, and he could be regarded as a technical talent in Huangling Village, although the value of his skills was not high.

In rural areas, driving a large truck is also known as: "Car Boss"! Not only does he usually work lightly in the production team, but sometimes he can secretly do some private work outside, carrying a foot or something, and can also make some extra money, so his family's life is

Huangling Village is considered first-class.

The five thatched houses with tile eaves were built in the 1980s, and they were among the first people in the village to buy a TV set. It is no exaggeration to say that the Yang Wan family is a wealthy household in Huangling Village.

Jiang Yu and the others came early, and there were only a few people when they arrived.

Bai Feng went directly into the inner room, not treating herself as an outsider at all. As soon as she took off her shoes, she got on the kang and occupied the position at the head of the kang in the inner room.
