Chapter 12

Seeing the darkened eyes of the eldest sister, Han Mingxiu's heart was also very uncomfortable. He almost blurted out and asked her three to come back to live with her.

But it's not very realistic when you think about it. Eldest sister is a traditional woman who follows her husband and wife. If she can make a living in her mother-in-law's house, she will never drag her children back to her mother's house to make trouble for her younger sister.

Besides, she is about to give birth. Maybe she can give birth to a big fat boy. If she has a son, life may turn for the better. Therefore, the elder sister will never agree to her, at least not at this time.

Of course, if you still have a daughter, the elder sister's life will be even worse. At that time, it's not too late for her to come back

"Sister, can you stay at home today?" Asked Han Mingxiu.

Considering that the elder sister is heavy, it's cold outside, the road is slippery, and it's hard to walk back and forth, she thinks about letting the elder sister stay at home for one night. She makes some delicious food for her to make up her body, and then makes some steamed bread, so that she can take it back to her two nieces.

But the elder sister said, "no, there's still a big business at home. I'll leave soon. I'll be relieved if you're OK."

Han Mingxiu didn't force her. She knew that if she went back late, her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law would have something to do again. She had better ask her to go back early to save them finding fault.

"I'll boil you some water. You wait." Looking at the elder sister sitting on the edge of the Kang and only beating her legs, she knew that she must be in a hurry. She must be thirsty, so she wanted to boil some hot water for her.

The elder sister said, "don't bother, give me some cold water to drink."

"It's no trouble. I want to drink it, too." Shen Ruolan pulled the remaining bits of pimple soup into his mouth, got up, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, went into the kitchen, and brushed the dishes and chopsticks while boiling water.

The elder sister didn't see her either. She sat on the Kang, across the wall, talking from room to room.

"Xiu, did your second sister write to you these days?"

"No, the second sister hasn't written to me for a long time. Did she write to you?" Han Mingxiu is brushing the pot with a brush.

Her second elder sister is Han Mingyu, 19 years old. Before her parents' accident last autumn, she married to the county. Her husband's family name is Lin. her husband's father-in-law is still a small official. She seems to be the stationmaster of a purchasing station. After her second elder sister married, her father-in-law arranged her to work as a temporary worker in a purchasing station. She can earn 12 yuan a month, which is more than 100 yuan a year, They earn more than the old men who earn points in the village. They are almost greedy for the big girls and their daughters-in-law in the village.

However, other people's eyes are greedy, but Han Mingxiu is not greedy, because only she knows what the second sister's life is in the city.

Although the second brother-in-law was very nice to the second sister, her parents-in-law didn't like to see her. They were always angry with her, not only for not giving her a good face, but also directly showed her that they despised the rural people and didn't allow the second sister to recruit rural relatives.

At that time, Han Mingxiu didn't know her status in her mother-in-law '

The second sister was arranged by her father-in-law to work as a temporary worker in their acquisition station. She worked every day and was busy, so she didn't have time to come back to see her sister. However, occasionally, she would write a letter or two to ask her about her situation. The communication between the two sisters all depended on correspondence.

Later, Han Mingxiu was ordered by her grandmother to Zhang Er donkey, and Han Mingxiu wrote a letter to her second sister for help, but somehow, her second sister didn't reply to her letter and didn't come back to see her.

She had no way to help herself. She ran into a wall everywhere, and finally she died in despair

For the second sister did not respond to her letter or did not come back to help her, the original owner's psychology is resentful, that the second sister is merciless, patronizing himself to live a good life, regardless of his sister's life

But now Han Mingxiu thinks that she shouldn't blame her second sister. By recalling her childhood, she thinks that her second sister is not the kind of person who patronizes her life regardless of her sister's life. The reason why she doesn't answer this letter or come back to help her is that there must be something wrong with it.

As for what is the problem, she did not want to understand, however, will not be the second sister regardless of her.

"I didn't write to you, and I don't know what happened to this girl. It's been months and I haven't heard from her. It's really worrying..." the elder sister was talking in the room.

Han Mingxiu said, "it happens that I'm going to do something in the town these two days, or I'll go to the county to see her by the way?"

"Well, it's OK to go and have a look there. Don't eat at home." The elder sister knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law looked down on the rural people. She was afraid that the younger sister would not be sensible enough to eat in other people's houses, which would make people hate her for nothing, so she asked.

Han Mingxiu said, "I don't go to her house. I go to their purchasing station to see her. I can't meet his family."

"That's OK. It's so easy for your second sister to get married in the city. Let's not give her back."

"Well, I know."

"By the way, what are you going to do in town? With whom? "

Han Mingxiu said, "I plan to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a few meters of plastic cloth and fix the windows. You see, it's cold in this room, but it's not hot. I think if I fix the windows, the wind won't blow in and the room will be warm."

The elder sister said, "you are more and more delicate as you grow up. Our family never orders plastic sheets in winter, and we have never heard you complain about cold before. Why do you want to buy that now? How expensive it is

Han mingxiuxin said, "I used to live in a building with collective heating. In winter, the room temperature was above 20 degrees Celsius. I'm used to that temperature. I can't stand it if I live in this small, windy house."!

After hearing that Han Mingxiu didn't speak, the elder sister seemed to think that she had gone too far. She quickly made up her mind and said, "it's OK to buy some, but you don't have to go to town. It's hard to run all the way back and forth because you're hungry. It's the first day of junior high school in a few days. It's good to go to the market when you go to the market on the first day of junior high school. The goods are all available, the things are cheap, and many things don't need tickets, Your brother-in-law bought everything when he arrived at the fair. "

The bazaar in my sister's mouth is a big gathering of several production teams on the first day and the fifteenth day of each month. These two days, each production team will go to the bazaar to sell their chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock or surplus production materials such as grain and firewood. The price is fair and cheaper than usual, The supply and marketing society and stores will move the backlog of goods to the market to sell, but not yet, so everyone is willing to go to the market to buy things.
