On the twelfth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the third aunt gave birth to a big fat boy, and the uncle and grandfather were so happy that they named Zhixin. The two families discussed, and on September 16, they sent "porridge rice" to Shengnan's aunt.

After his uncle became deputy secretary, the commune arranged a family home for him with two main rooms. On the day of the delivery of "porridge rice", the relatives of the two families crowded his small courtyard, mainly because there were many relatives of Katsuo's aunt's mother's family.

There were more than ten relatives in her mother's family, and each adult plus children was seven or eight people. Including the people of Hantun Village, there are more than 100 people.

The eldest aunt was very busy, but fortunately, when she came, she found a few helpers in the village, and the "little old mother" and Guijin and Jiege's sisters-in-law followed.

The gifts brought by the visitors must be counted clearly, the eggs are checked, the rice noodles are weighed, the brown sugar is counted, the gift money is on the account, and the gifts of the family are recorded on the gift list, handed over to the mother's family to check clearly, and then handed over to the third aunt for preservation.

There is a saying for this, children are older and smarter and know how to count early. In fact, just to remember clearly, relatives are easy to move around, and there is a number between contacts.

The third aunt's mother didn't buy anything, so she took 300 yuan as a gift. The other maiden relatives, aunts and uncles and aunts all had 100 eggs, 6 catties of sugar, 10 catties of rice or white flour. The relatives who are further away are all sixty eggs, four catties of sugar, and ten catties of noodles.

Grandma and aunt didn't bring anything, grandma gave 200 yuan as a gift, and aunt and mother gave 100 yuan.

The relatives of the third aunt's mother's family saw it and whispered: "Isn't Shengnan's mother-in-law's family from the countryside, and this gift money is given more than those who have jobs." ”

Some relatives also said sour words: "It's not that I have won the male and female sons-in-law as officials, and I want to buy it and follow it." ”

Rolling his eyes when he listened, who is this, can he distinguish between inside and outside, and my family still needs to buy it.

My uncle and grandfather set up 12 tables of banquets in the restaurant, each table has 12 dishes, and the meals are of the highest standard now. There are also two bottles of Jingzhi Baigan and two boxes of Dajinzhong cigarettes on each table, and the tobacco and alcohol are also of the highest standard.

These are not troublesome, and my uncle can do it with money. The trouble is to boil the eggs in sugar water, and each person who comes has four peeled hard-boiled eggs and soak them in a bowl of sugar water. In addition, each family had to be pressed back with ten hard-boiled eggs dyed red.

The hard-boiled eggs in the basket were cooked in advance by the eldest aunt in Hantun. The eggs at the banquet were freshly boiled in a large pot in the commune, and it took a long time to peel out nearly 400 eggs.

The thirteen-table banquet couldn't be set up at the third uncle's house, so he borrowed the yard of the neighbor's house, and was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the relatives left.

On the eighteenth day of September of the lunar calendar, the telegram from the second uncle also came, and Aunt Chaoxia gave birth to a girl on September 16, and the telegram from the second uncle read, "Joy is a noble girl".

Grandma and aunt put the money together, and the uncle and grandfather added another 600 yuan, a total of 1,000 yuan, and remitted the money through the post office.

On September 21, Grandma took Yoyo out for a trip. The weather is cold, and it will be inconvenient to go out later. The mother and daughter ran three places in one day, and they were too tired to do it. Yoyo swears never to rush like this again.

This time, a total of 18,000 quick silver dollars, 32 gold bars, and 3,800 yuan of jade were collected. Yuyu asked for 20,000 pairs of nylon socks, Wang Daidi and Grandma Yang each asked for 10,000 pairs, and the three of them asked for 500 bags of headdresses.

Grandma told them: Recently, due to too much change in the country, people's emotions are unstable, and they are very sensitive to many things, and the mother and wife don't want to make trouble, so they are not ready to come again.

After the beginning of winter, the cabbage in the field came down. Grandma bought more than 1,000 catties at a time, pulled it back with a row of cars, and put it in the cellar. This year, the river beach was affected, no cabbage was planted, and the price of cabbage was also high, three cents per catty, and 1,000 catties of cabbage were actually only 30 yuan.

The people of Hantun Village, every family also bought cabbage, but they bought less, more than a dozen, and only five or six less, put them in the cellar, and kept them for the Spring Festival. A cabbage is about ten catties, which is three cents, but everyone is used to saving, and they are still reluctant to eat it.

Now, the people in Hantun Village don't earn five or six cents a day, and the family doesn't save a thousand yuan, so no one is willing to buy vegetables. This year, the water was early, and people didn't even flood the pickles, so I really don't know how everyone is going to spend the long winter.

Through grocery shopping, Yoyo has a deep understanding of the frugality of the villagers. During this period, the idea of thrift and thrift was engraved into people's bones.

The water in the pond pit accumulates because there is no leakage. Since the autumn equinox, the state has been using a pump to drain water into the Yellow River, because the Yellow River has moved northward, more than 1,000 meters away from Tangzikeng, and no obvious results have been seen in the beginning of winter. The water level has dropped very little, still two or three meters deep. After the beginning of winter, the weather was too cold, and the pump was withdrawn.

The village that owns the pond pit has a big opinion, and last year the state compensated for the damage of a year. This year, they planted spring crops in the pond pit, and the flood is a natural disaster, but they can't accept the long-term water accumulation.

The state took into account their interests, and finally the Yellow Committee made a decision to buy all the Tangzikeng and give a one-time compensation to each village. According to the scope of care of the embankment, the acquired Tangzikeng will be used by the villages in the beach area, but the ownership belongs to the State Yellow Committee.

There are many embankments of the Yellow River under the care of Hantun Village, with a length of 2 kilometers, and there are 3,000 acres of ponds in the village at once.

On the morning of the first day of October in the lunar calendar, heavy snow fell on goose feathers. Fortunately, everyone's houses have been cleaned up, otherwise the fence wall surrounded by sorghum silk would not be insulated.

In the first two days, everyone saw that the weather was bad, so they cleared out the two manholes in the center of the village.

Loose coal stoves were burned in both kilns, and anthracite was the indicator given by the Foreign Trade Bureau. They have established a relationship with Hantun Village to help each other, and are responsible for the self-rescue work after the disaster in Hantun.

The heavy snow stopped for two days, and as soon as the snow stopped, Secretary Li of the county party committee came with condolence materials. There were cotton clothes and quilts for donations, as well as relief money, relief food and truckloads of anthracite.

There are four families of lonely and widowed elderly people who have no children in Hantun Village, but none of them are five-guarantee households, and they are supported by their nephews. Despite this, the relief materials still take care of them first, and everyone has no opinion.

The donated cotton clothes and quilts are all used, but there are no patches, and they are also cleanly dismantled. In this era of "three years of the new, three years of the old, and another three years of patching", this is excellent.

In order to let the people in the disaster area spend the winter safely, the county party committee carried out fund-raising activities, and people carried forward the communist spirit of "one party is in trouble and all sides support", and donated their better cotton clothes and quilts.

Compared with the whole county, the population affected by the disaster in the beach area is still relatively small, and Hantun is also the squatting village of Secretary Li of the county party committee, so there are more relief materials.
