In a dark and low adobe house, Li Mo sat on a bench in a daze.

He looked at the room with straight eyes.

Patched rice paper pasted wooden windows, blackened and burned earthen walls, pimpled soil compacted floors, and long black-gray roof beams hung from them. Dilapidated and rotten cupboards, black-and-gray stoves, uneven wooden tables, and benches sloping from side to side.

Nothing is decent!

The nasal cavity is filled with a mixture of unpleasant smells, and it is difficult to discern where the smell is coming from.

All of this is telling Li Mo a fact-

He crossed.

............

Li Mo is a supermarket owner born in the 80s, and he only remembers that the supermarket opened today and was electrocuted when he put down the roller shutter door. When I woke up again, Li Mo was already here.

There are some unfamiliar memories in my head that belong to the original owner. The original owner is also called Li Mo, with the same name as himself. Today, when I went up the mountain to hunt, I met my cousin scrambling, and like many plots, I accidentally fell off the cliff and died. And now Li Mo only knows that although he fell off the cliff, he was unharmed.

The devil knows what's going on.

Li Mo absorbed the memories of the original owner, and now it is 1978, and the place where he is now is called "Bandit Ditch", located in a rural village in the Linhai Mountains of Northeast Feng Province.

Sitting in the hall, Li Mo's mind was very messy. After he woke up, there was no one at home, and he remembered in a trance that something happened at home, and the second uncle should have come not long ago, and then his parents began to quarrel, and the second uncle of the original owner told the family that his grandmother wanted them to pay 400 yuan, because his youngest son got acquainted with an object in a county town. The woman wanted to turn three times and one ring, and the grandmother actually asked the eldest son's family to pay half of the bride price for his younger son.

Three turns and one ring was the "high-matched" bride price of that era.

The "three turns" are-

Sewing machine!

Wristwatch!

Bicycle!

"One ring" is "radio".

In those days, these things were all luxuries, take sewing machines as an example, ordinary miscellaneous goods cost one hundred and five, not to mention the "Flying Man brand" or "Panda brand", these four things can be eight hundred if they are brand goods. At that time, the workers were only 30 yuan a month. Not to mention this home struggling on the brink of hunger.

Li Mo held his forehead and tried to adapt to his current situation. While he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside the house.

Li Mo raised his head and saw two figures.

One big and one small.

The eldest is called Li Hong, the eldest daughter in the family. Wearing coarse cloth clothes, covered with soil, although she is not well dressed, she is also one of the best-looking beauties in ten miles and eight villages, but unfortunately because of family reasons, she is not married at the age of twenty.

The little one's name is Li Ran, and she is a young girl. He wore pigtails and a rag garment that didn't fit well, and he was pitiful. Even though it's dirty, you can still tell she's cute.

"Big sister, you're back. Li Mo smiled and said hello.

This greeting startled both the big and the small.

Li Mo forgot that the original owner had a hot temper and was a well-known little bully in the village. If you can fight, you will never be noisy, and you will never be bare-handed when you can wait for a copy. Although he is in high school and his grades are good, the original owner is used to being unaccustomed because there is a man in the family. In his dictionary, there is no word polite at all.

Because of this, he often went out to fight, which made the poor family even worse because of his recklessness.

"Xiao Mo, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Li Mo sullen, Li Hong was a little worried.

He never did. What's going on today?

Xiao Li Ran touched Li Mo with his little dirty hand, Li Mo was so frightened that he shrank back, and asked very vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Whoever suddenly lets a stranger touch it will do the same, Li Mo is not overreacting.

But Li Mo regretted it when he said this......

He is Li Mo. Li Ran's second brother, the little girl has liked him the most since she was a child. is also the most distressed sister of the original owner, and she listens to Li Mo's words the most in the family.

"Brother, does it still hurt?"

Li Ran timidly looked at himself with a pair of innocent eyes, Li Mo felt a little guilty, he shook his head, touched his sister's head in a soft tone and said, "Brother doesn't hurt." ”

Of course, Li Mo actually hates his sister in his heart.

Because Li Mo had a cousin who was a pit man in the past, he was very bored with his sister. But Li Ran is different, Li Ran, who is only six years old this year, is still so well-behaved.

Anyone who is changed can't help but love it, not to mention being well-behaved like a pet at home, which is even more reluctant.

"Brother, eat sugar. ”

Li Ran unfolded his palm, and Li Mo saw a piece of deformed sugar that had been grasped. This sugar is produced in a local homethen workshop and costs two dollars a penny. Blended with poor earthy saccharin. Not to mention the sweet and bitter, you can still taste a strange taste when you put it in your mouth. It is unpalatable and unhygienic. Li Mo didn't think this thing could be eaten.

But it's this kind of sugar, a broken thing of two dollars a penny, Li Ran can't even eat a few yuan a month!

The sugar has been deformed, I don't know how long she has been taking it, but it is certain that she cherishes it.

"Brother doesn't eat it, you can eat it yourself. ”

Li Ran raised his head, looking at his eyes as if he was worried that Li Mo would dislike him.

The child's mind was easy to see, as if he was unloading his face, Li Mo picked up the candy from the little thing's hand, peeled off the candy wrapper, and then stuffed the candy cube into Li Ran's mouth.

"It's so sweet. ”

Li Ran covered his mouth, his eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and the little lying silkworm bent over with a smile.

However, the extremely easy satisfaction of the little sister made Li Mo feel inexplicably distressed.

yes, it's really poor......

More than you can imagine!

In fact, Bandit Gou is not a poor village, no matter what, the poor of ten miles and eight villages cannot be ranked in this village.

And there are only seven people in Li Mo's family.

father Li Fuguo and mother Zhang Ruyi. The two have four women and one man left, although there are few men, but they will not live like this.

The eldest sister Li Hong has to go out to work every day. At the end of each year, the brigade will settle the work points, and each village will convert the labor points exchange rate according to its own harvest. In a year, the most inferior family can also exchange more than 200 yuan, plus the ration according to the head, Li Mo's family calculates, and the ration allocated a year is at least a few hundred catties.

Unfortunately, there is a bastard relative in the family......

's father is a child brought by his grandmother's remarriage, and he has been unpopular since he was a child, and he has been exploited by the family when he grows up.

Every year, when the work is settled, my grandmother has to take two-thirds of everything and divide it equally with the whole family. And Li Fuguo has been diligent this year, and he can only get one-third. A family of seven, it's not bad if you don't starve to death.

But the second uncle's family, who is also in the neighboring village, doesn't need to share rations, he is lazy and lazy, and he can still get rations to Li Mo's family every year.

The youngest son of the Li family graduated from high school and worked in the county paper mill. Grandma is even more partial to him, no matter what good things can come to him.

Because of him, Li Mo's family asked his grandmother to take his second uncle to raid.

It's a bottomless pit! It can never be filled.

But although Li Mo's heart accepted the fact that he had crossed over. But that doesn't mean he can accept the status quo of poverty. Not to mention this reason.

Since there is exploitation, then it is necessary to resist!

But really talking about resistance, what can he do?

Running away from home?

Wandering the world?!

Don't make a fuss, in this era when it is difficult to move an inch without a letter of introduction and household registration, where can he go?

Since you can't leave this home, you have to renovate it. definitely can't be so poor, anyway, Li Mo can't stand it.

"Mom, you're back?"

Li Mo was looking at Li Ran thinking about things, and Li Hong's words interrupted Li Mo's train of thought.

Looking up, Li Mo saw a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, covering her mouth and her eyes reddened. The expression between the eyebrows was desolate and faintly despairing.

Li Mo knew that his mother was crying and very sad. Facing her daughter's greeting, Zhang Ruyi also responded.

But seeing that Li Mo woke up, she was able to wipe away her tears and smile at Li Mo.

"Up?"

Sure enough, the patriarchal concept was a deep-rooted concept in that era, and the gap was too obvious.

Li Mo looked at his mother and asked with concern, "Mom, why are you crying?"

Hearing Li Mo ask himself, Zhang Ruyi didn't even have a smile that he forced out......

"Adults and children don't care. ”

Zhang Ruyi dropped a sentence and walked to the pot table with his head down to cook.

Li Mo and Li Hong exchanged glances with each other, and probably guessed that their mother was crying because of the bride price.

Zhang Ruyi pinched the head of the nest and put it in the pot, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and before the person entered the door, he heard a very high-profile girl's voice coming in.

"Mom, I finished in the top 10 in today's exam. ”

Listening to the voice, you know that this is the fourth sister Li Yue. She and the third Li Xin are twins, and they are deeply liked by their grandmother, and they are separated from the family. It's also the pair of sisters that the original owner hates the most.。

Zhang Ruyi lowered his head and continued to pinch his head without saying a word.

And the two younger sisters entered the house one after the other, and Li Yue, who was in the first room, looked very white, although the clothes were not good, but they were very clean. There are two hemp flower braids on his head, which are black and thick.

"Mom, why don't you speak?"

After entering the house, Li Yue saw that Zhang Ruyi ignored her, and continued to ask without knowing the depths.

Zhang Ruyi pinched his head and didn't look at Li Yue: "There are a total of eighteen people in your class, what is there to be happy about you in the top ten?

Li Yue was obviously struck, and she retorted to her mother with a flushed face.

"Can he compare to me? The students in their class are all doing poorly. ”

"Okay, mom is uncomfortable, don't you see it?" Li Hong really couldn't stand it, she stared at her mother and taught her sister a lesson.

Li Hong is the eldest in the family, has more temperament with her mother, and is willing to work. So I was deeply liked by my mother. Teach her sister a lesson, Zhang Ruyi has always acquiesced, as long as Li Mo is not moved, anything will work.

Li Yue glanced at Li Hong, but didn't dare to fight back.

But after pressing the gourd and scooping, Li Yue didn't speak, and Li Xin didn't know whether she was alive or dead and questioned her mother.

"Mom, why did I hear that you had a quarrel with my grandma? How can you do that? Grandma is an elder!"

Li Xin is most liked by the old lady of the Li family, Li Xin is basically on her grandmother's side in her heart, not on the side of the family.

"Get out! You go with your grandma! I didn't give birth to you!"

When Zhang Ruyi heard his daughter's words, he suddenly exploded like a lit powder keg, picked up the small bench and threw it out. The small bench smashed on Li Xin's body, and Li Xin was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the house. This kind of situation is very common at home, and the original owner is not surprised, and Li Mo is the same.

But Zhang Ruyi, who was furious, frightened Li Ran so much that his face turned white, and his body was shaking all the time, and Li Mo hurriedly pulled Li Ran in his arms to comfort him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, then behave. Brother is here!"

Li Hong also pointed at the twins angrily: "Didn't you hear what Mom said? ”。

When there was an argument at home, there was a noise outside the door, as if someone had pushed the door in.

"Dad is back! Look at Mom, and beat me with a little bench. Seeing the people coming in from outside the door, Li Xin hurriedly ran over to complain.

But Li Fuguo, who entered the courtyard, didn't pay attention to her at all, what virtue did his daughter have, could he not know?

Li Hong saw his father say hello, Li Fuguo lowered his head and entered the house, but he didn't respond, and sat down with an ugly face.

Li Fuguo looked at Li Mo sitting, and then he asked, "Awake?"

Li Mo nodded and did not speak. The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn, and none of the children dared to speak. But Zhang Ruyi didn't bother to look at Li Fuguo, which made Li Fuguo's face full of embarrassment.

Li Hong saw that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so she asked, "Dad, what did you say?"

"I didn't borrow, our family is like this, who dares to lend us money. It also made the captain lose a beating. Today, this face is almost lost......"

Li Xin interjected at this time: "That...... What if grandma comes?"

"Alright, don't say it. Which pot is not opened!"

Li Fuguo let out a long sigh, his tone full of helplessness. He looked at the children, and they all looked at him. Li Fuguo shook his hand: "Okay! Look at what I'm doing! Eat first." ”
