Chapter 12: Country Trivia
It has only been seven or eight years since reform and opening up, and the impoverished mountainous areas are still impoverished mountainous areas, and Li Feng's family members get up early and are greedy for darkness just to have three meals and a full stomach.
Go out to work to earn money?
, these days, the people in the city can't eat enough, how can you have any position.
They all rely on the harvest in the field and the occasional sale of mountain goods to support their families.
Li Feng clearly remembers that the first batch of people in his hometown went out to work to earn money after 96 years.
Do you know that Jet Li starred in Shaolin Temple in 82, a movie with a dime ticket that hit a box office of 100 million, how much is Jet Li's salary a day?
At that time, Jet Li's psychology was still beautiful.
At least with Li Feng's efforts, the dinner was sumptuous.
Spicy fish, yellow stewed rabbit, cabbage and potato soup, the staple food is no rice, or bud rice, but it can't stand the fragrance of vegetables, and the family eats it all with oil.
After dinner, the family has a rare leisure time every day, Li Kui and Li Shan will drink two taels of wine by the fire pond to go to Fan, Yang Cuihua and Yang Yushan will either go to the village commissary to chat, or sew clothes or shoe soles at home.
Li Feng had nothing to do and went out of the yard to get hare skins, Li Feng was ready to rely on this thing to collect the first pot of gold in his life, and he couldn't be sloppy.
Find a few chopsticks to stretch them out, cool under the eaves, the whole process Li Mei has been bouncing next to her and never leaving, Li Feng is careful that she will fall if she is not careful, and he is busy and takes care of her.
Looking at the two rabbit skins and one pheasant skin hanging under the eaves, Li Feng thought to himself that it would be almost fast, and in two months, he should be able to collect dozens of skins, and he would go to the town to set up a stall on Sunday.
"The land at the east end of the village, the grass will be pulled tomorrow......"
"Take the key to the water mill with Li Siguo, and the two pockets of grain at home will be milled......"
"Zhang Fu's family will have a happy event the day after tomorrow, and come to the house to borrow tables, dishes and chopsticks......"
"When the plum moon was full, his family sent twenty eggs and a bucket of millet, and this time his family will return the gift according to this......"
"Widow Zhang will ask me to ...... tomorrow"
"It's okay to go to her house less, there are many rights and wrongs, I haven't heard the dog barking more at night in the village recently......"
......。
When Li Feng was busy returning to the edge of the fire pond, Yang Yushan and Yang Cuihua rarely went to the shop to chat, chatting with Li Kui and Li Shan about the shortcomings of the village.
"It's okay to read more books!"
Yang Yu flashed a glance at Li Feng and commanded.
"What the teacher teaches must be studied hard......"
"Listen carefully in class......
“......。 ”
Li Kui, Li Shan, and Yang Cuihua followed, and there may be disagreements on other matters, such as Yang Yushan scolding Li Feng or beating Li Feng, sometimes Li Kui and Yang Cuihua will help Li Feng, but their caliber is the same about Li Feng's learning.
There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the reason why Li Feng knows what they do is that when they grow up, they don't want to become like them, being a farmer and dealing with the land for the rest of their lives.
"Oh, then I'll go back to the house and read. ”
Li Feng obediently returned to his room, although the light bulb was not on, it was enough to see the words in the book.
There is one for parents at home, one for grandparents, one for Li Feng himself, and Li Mei sleeps in three ways.
It was almost dark, Li Feng was lying on the bed in a daze, thinking wildly, he was not interested in reading, and there was no need to read primary school textbooks for him.
However, in order to cope with Yang Yushan's sudden inspection, in order to avoid being scolded and beaten, Li Feng deliberately put this Chinese textbook next to his pillow just in case.
In the dead of night, each went back to his own house, Yang Yushan and Li Shan lay on the bed and whispered.
Yang Yushan: "Da Niu has been weird these days, but I can't say where it has changed." ”
Li Shan: "There are some changes, there will definitely be some changes when children go to school, don't think too much, turn off the lights and go to sleep......"
Yang Yushan "came home from school and took the initiative to play pigweed, could put down a sleeve, and could fish, and sometimes looked at him like an adult......"
"Turn off the lights and go to bed..."
"Oh, big cow daddy, don't touch it, you can't afford to raise both, you still want to give birth to one..."
"Oh, what's this called, let's go to the health center in a few days......"
"Well, I'll go there in a few days, the weather is getting cooler, and by the way, I'll pull some cloth for the two children and make some winter clothes......
The above whispers belong to his parents, Li Feng can't hear them, and Yang Yushan seems to have come to cover Li Feng with a quilt in the middle of the night, and Li Feng has a habit of kicking the quilt at night.
The next day at school, during the lunch break, a section of Journey to the West harvested two packs of biscuits and dozens of fruit candies, Li Fengquan brought them back to Li Mei, and harvested several times from Li Mei "Ah fruit is the best, ah fruit is the best".
The trap in the forest was not harvested, but the fish in the river still collected two or three catties, and the dinner was still spicy fish.
The third day is the first Saturday, you can go home at noon, it just happens that the rich family in the village marries a daughter-in-law to do a happy event, according to the custom of the whole village will go to his house to live.
Li Feng's family is not different, because the local custom is to treat guests for dinner, after lunch, it is almost about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the whole family goes to Zhang Fu's house to be lively, and the most excited is Li Mei.
In his previous life, Li Feng also loved to be a guest when he was a child, even if he had to walk seven or eight miles because there was sugar to eat, and he had more friends and could play a lot of games.
As for now, I can't raise any interest, and I am completely in an archaeological mentality, excavating the life experiences I have gone through.
What can make Li Feng excited is that it has been several days since he crossed, and he has not seen anyone else in the village except Tie Dan and Jin Mei, and Li Feng is a little impatient.
Zhang Fu's house is already very lively, the yard is paved with a layer of pine needles, mainly to prevent dust, and there is no yard in Woniu Village now with cement floor.
The vegetable patch outside the house has been used as an open-air kitchen, seven or eight simple earthen stoves are set up there, the fire is blazing, the smell of vegetables is fragrant, and a dozen square tables are crowded into the courtyard, and some guests are already sitting on them to brag and chat.
A bearded strong man is shouting to maintain order, and his face is somewhat similar to Tie Dan, that is Tie Dan's father Li Siguo, the village chief of Woniu Village, the person in charge of the village's red and white ceremonies, that is, the host.
"Hello Uncle Li!"
Li Feng said hello and went to hang the salute with Yang Yushan.
A temporarily vacated room, with a few large vats in it, a table at the door, Jin Mei and his father are responsible for registration, and Yang Laosi in the west of the village is responsible for roll call.
Visitors lined up at the table with a variety of pockets on their backs.
"Yang Dashan of Loess Village gave a liter of rice, one yuan. ”
"Zhang Lan of Zhonggang Village gave a gift of bacon, two liters of wheat"
"Xiangyang Village... Give a gift package to a bucket of grain, RMB five cents"
......。
Whenever Yang Laosi received a gift, he sang it in a low voice, and soon it was Yang Yushan's turn to shine Li Feng.
Yang Laosi sang: "Yang Yushan of Woniu Village gave a gift of twenty eggs and a bucket of millet. ”
Yang Yushan went to find a familiar mother-in-law to chat after hanging up the ceremony, and Li Feng had nothing to do, so he stayed by the side for a while.
There is not one of the ten directly hanging money, basically all of them are rice, noodles, meat, and many hanging things.
Li Feng knows the reason, they are all poor, people have no money, and there are very few people who come to visit the 100 people who do not have patches on their bodies, even if they are big girls and young men, they are full of needles and horns!
Li Feng himself was wearing the pants he was wearing now, and after counting, there were four patches.
Li Feng doesn't know how the city is now, he didn't go to the city when he was a child in his previous life, at least now Li Feng's mountainous area is like this, he is well fed and warmly dressed, but he can't eat well and wear badly.
Although people are like this, but as a newcomer, at least they are still exquisite, the groom official Zhang Fu is dressed in a really good tunic suit, and his hair is meticulously combed, and the pair of yellow rubber shoes on his feet slightly destroys the image.
The bride was dressed in red floral clothes, a pair of red embroidered shoes, her black hair was raised high and she simply pinned a wooden hairpin, her face was flushed without any traces of cosmetics, and at most she rubbed a little alabaster.
Compared to the wedding after 00 years, it was a simple mess.
The two men stood opposite each other at the gate and greeted the guests with smiling faces, each holding a plate full of fruit candy, and a group of children always gathered around the two of them, grabbing a few candies from the plate from time to time.
Li Feng took one when he entered the door, and he had a festive picture, and he had not finished holding it in his mouth for more than ten minutes, and he could only sigh that the sugar was so hard now.
As for whether the two of them fell in love and got married, or were introduced to get married, Li Feng didn't know, and it was not good to go and there was no need to inquire.
The bride's skin is tight, her eyebrows are sparse but not scattered, her chest is straight and her hips are tight, she walks with eight figures, her eyes are poisonous and Li Feng, who has learned some medical skills, is 90% sure ~ The bride is still a yellow flower girl.
Li Feng also observed that Zhang Fu's mother took several beds of white towels and sent them into the marriage room, and carefully put them on the marriage bed.
The bride also saw that admiration, her face was a little red, and she was ashamed.
It seems that the groom Zhang Fu will have to spend some effort in the cave room tonight!
Thinking about the concept of love and marriage of men and women after twenty or thirty years, it is easy to find a daughter, and the candle night in the cave room is basically slipped in, and I can't help but sigh in my heart. "Alas, no wonder the price of pig blood rose in the later marriage season, what a good era, except for the poor, everything is good!"
