Chapter 170: Zhang Cheng's life as a child
Zhang Cheng was born in a very ordinary peasant family, there is an elder brother and two sisters in the family, his birth was an accident, a lifelong farmer, after the living conditions are good, he suddenly wants to go out to see the world, pursue the sweetness of the past, and enjoy the unexpected product of romance.
When Zhang Cheng was born, the eldest brother was already in his thirties, and the second sister was also married and had her own family.
The mother who is almost fifty gave birth to a baby, not only the villagers in ten villages and eight miles, but even Zhang Cheng's parents, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law all have an indescribable feeling.
There is embarrassment, curiosity, admiration, and an inexplicable awkwardness.
It was the decision of the parents to give birth to Zhang Cheng, and since there is one, it must be born.
For this decision, the attitude of the elder brother and sister is a little wavering.
My brother is a little better, except for being a little afraid that the gossip outside will have an impact on the life of the old couple, he didn't say a word about the others, and even because of this incident, he hid it tightly about his promotion to commander in the army, just caring about his parents' lives.
For this reason, he also deliberately proposed to take his parents to live outside, but the old couple couldn't do without the land and the countryside where they had lived all their lives, so they had no choice but to give up.
Zhang Cheng's sister's side, her emotions are more complicated than Zhang Cheng's brother's, and she thinks a lot.
First of all, the mother is old and afraid that there is a risk in having a child, and if there is an accident, no one can accept it.
Then, she also thought about what kind of impact this incident would bring, although the rural people are kind, and the villagers are also familiar with it, but if they can't help it, there will definitely be some rumors and rumors, what if the old couple hears too much and has a pimple in their hearts?
There is also the impact of the policy, the third child, the fine is certain, as for the punishment in other aspects, it is difficult to say.
Although the family is honest and dutiful, they still save a lot of money in the country's good policies, the gradually improving world status, and the overall economic improvement environment, and some fines are not a problem for them.
However, it is obviously a violation of national policy, and I don't know if there will be a cascading impact in other aspects.
For example, Zhang Cheng's brother-in-law is the department head of a new type of organization called the "Huaxia Academy of Sciences" newly established by the state, and if her husband's work is affected by her parents' affairs, Zhang Cheng's sister is a little embarrassed.
However, Zhang Cheng's sister's entanglement did not last long, there was a lack of secrets between the couple with a good relationship, and soon, Zhang Cheng's brother-in-law found out that his wife was abnormal, and after asking the reason, he explained that there was no need, it's okay, he and Zhang Cheng's eldest brother had already dealt with this matter, so that Zhang Cheng's sister didn't have to worry.
Zhang Cheng's sister didn't ask how to deal with it, because his husband's work department is a department with a high level of confidentiality, and the family members are used to not listening to what they shouldn't listen to, not asking what they shouldn't ask, and reporting suspicious people when they find them, and not talking about anything related to her husband's work outside.
Untied the knot and let go of the burden, Sister Zhang Cheng moved back to the house and took care of her mother with her sister-in-law, waiting for the child to be born.
Soon, Xiao Zhang Cheng was born with the cry of a baby, born in a hospital in a small county town in Huaguo, and then was taken back to the village and began to grow up happily.
Zhang Cheng's childhood was very colorful.
His very old parents and older brothers and sisters who don't come back often, as well as his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, have little control over him, and many times his parents raise children in the village in the same way as raising babies in the countryside.
The matter of the old couple of the Zhang family giving birth to a baby at an advanced age is still very open in Shili and Eight Townships, and it can be said that it has served as the focus of conversation after tea and dinner for a long time in the entire county.
But fortunately, the Zhang family has a good reputation, and they are kind and helpful to the villagers, and their sons and daughters have the ability, one son is a big official in the army, and the daughter is married to a big scientist as a daughter-in-law, I heard that it is still the kind that is protected by the state, so Zhang Cheng was not discriminated against when he was a child, and heard some bad things.
The small mountain village where Zhang Cheng lives still maintains a strong traditional atmosphere, and all the people respect the old traditions and the old generation, as long as they are not harmful bad traditions, the others have been continued.
In such a village, Zhang Cheng is open and wild, as long as he doesn't do things that hurt nature, he is naughty for a while occasionally, and he can still be treated kindly if he makes some small mistakes, but the fried meat with bamboo shoots after every mistake is definitely indispensable.
Rural children, after telling right and wrong, they must remember that if they make mistakes, they will be beaten, there is no criticism and education, at that age when chickens and dogs are jumping and people are tired of cats, no amount of verbal education is as good as a fat beating.
What should not be done, I can't remember what I said, and I remember everything after a few fat beatings.
And there is a tradition in the countryside, saying that children are beaten too much and grow up in good health and solid skin.
They beat children with skill, and they chose the places where the meat was not bad and the beating hurt, and they pretended to be fierce while shouting loudly, making a posture that would not alarm the neighbors and swear not to give up.
Under such a series of "strategies", a few bamboo strips were first used as appetizers to calm the mind.
Then put on a false appearance that I will kill you today, and use intimidation to further deepen the impression of the bear children on the punishment, so that they have a deeper understanding of the mistake.
Then the harsh language and the high octave voice can be held after attracting the neighbors, and a criticism and education meeting can be held, which can teach a negative example and at the same time shock all the bear children in the vicinity, so that they can weigh whether they can withstand such a "blow" if they want to make a mistake.
After the villagers and neighbors arrived, the main meal to teach the bear children began.
Continue to choose a good position to hit the skin and flesh a few times, and then begin to tell what mistake the skin child has made and why it is wrong, and then raise the bamboo stick again to continue fighting.
At this time, as the audience, as well as the villagers who apologized, they need to appear, they will come forward with a smile and happily, while saying that it is okay for children to make some mistakes occasionally, as long as they change it next time, they secretly glanced at the bear children with a hint of ridicule, so that they quickly admit their mistakes, otherwise they will be beaten again.
Under the repeated routines, where can the simple-minded bear children stand this, they must be hurriedly admitting their mistakes, and then fleeing in embarrassment in the laughter of their friends.
