I leaned against the kerosene lamp and knitted it. While weaving, I looked at the book that Mr. Zhao prepared for me, thinking about what he explained to me just now, speaking of which, my head is really stupid, and I feel that it should not be difficult, but it is difficult to comprehend. After looking at the front, I forgot the back, and after I learned, I forgot about it when I looked at the front.

My grandfather came in with a basin with a sliced radish inside: "This is delicious, but sweet, sweeter than that apple, you can taste it." ”

I laughed, "I have all my hands." I'll eat it later. ”

My grandfather was curious, "What's the matter, can you learn to understand?"

I smiled embarrassedly: "Grandpa, I'm too stupid, I can't learn well, so I'll worry about you." ”

My grandfather sighed: "What's the matter, your parents are not smart, my head is not good, and I can't read a few words, so we will delay you." Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”

I smiled, my parents were honest farmers, I was just over a year old, I died in a flash flood, I have almost no impression of them, I rarely talk about them.

Seeing that my grandfather was sad, I patted him on the back: "Grandpa, there is me." ”

My grandfather's hands rubbed his knees and sighed, "I just thought that if I don't study, in the village is the life of farming." If only I could leave the village and go to work in the city. I'm glad that you're sensible now. ”

I chatted with my grandfather with wool, and it was about Yang Dabao.

Grandpa snorted: "I saw him go to the countryside yesterday with a big bag." I guess it's drinking with those people, his relationship is hard, and it's said that he is going to be assigned a task again. ”

At that time, the fields had not yet been divided into households, and they were still managed by the commune, and everyone had to work in the fields together to earn a share of the work.

My grandfather was injured and didn't have to go out to work, and when I turned fifteen or sixteen, I had to go out to work together.

Yang Dabao and our family have always been not in harmony, and every year when the spring equinox is assigned, the most difficult work will be assigned to me. At that time, I cried with my grandfather, and refused to go to the ground, and in the end, my grandfather went to work with a leg injury, and I will not let my grandfather suffer this year.

"I can work, but I can't let him bully us like that. I have to find a way to not ask for less work. At least we can't suffer this loss in vain. I said.

Grandpa was silent, as if he had lost his mind, I stretched out my hand and shook it: "What do you think, is it uncomfortable?"

"It's not. Grandpa said to me, "Come with me to the town tomorrow." ”

I said suspiciously: "Grandpa, haven't we finished buying New Year's goods?"

"Doesn't that seventh uncle of the mill live in the town? Something to say. Grandpa said.

Although Uncle Seventh has contracted the grain business in the village now, he has moved to the town and is the envy of the whole village.

"I'll talk to him about Mr. Zhao. ”

I was curious, "Does Mr. Zhao know that Seventh Uncle?"

My grandfather said: "Mr. Zhao's wife and Seventh Uncle's wife are sisters. ”

I was really shocked, I didn't care about anyone in my previous life, I didn't know that these two people were in such a relationship, this is called a brother-in-law, right?

My grandfather said: "This sister fought to the death for the place in college, and they broke up a long time ago, how could they be in touch as husbands, and then they both divorced, and they didn't have much to do with each other." I had a drink with him just now, but he kept nagging his son and saying that he missed him, so I thought let's go and have a look. Let Uncle Seven give his son a message, at least come and have a look. It was too hard for his father to stay up alone in the village. ”

I thought of the photo of the woman I saw at Uncle Seven, did the two sisters look the same?

My grandfather said, "I'll also think about what I can do to get you to the town, but if it doesn't work, I'll beg someone." Let those people take you out, we offend Yang Dabao too hard, and we will definitely deal with you ruthlessly. I thought to myself, even if you get a job as a canteen waiter, it is better than in the village, you can learn anywhere, and you can leave the village first. ”

"Grandpa, I'm uneducated now, I'm not capable, if you want me to enter the city, the future won't be good, if I ask someone to go in, no one will look down on me at that time. I want to study hard and go in normally in the future. ”

Now there are too many rural people who want to go to the city, and there are still those educated youths in the countryside, who doesn't want to find a relationship to go to the town through the back door? If my grandfather really sent me there through the connection, it would definitely cause public outrage.

My grandfather has a stubborn temper, maybe he will be found wrong, and he won't know if he is harmed, I really don't feel at ease.

What's more, he is not the kind of person who likes to go through the back door, so it must be very uncomfortable for him to beg someone.

I resolutely disagreed, and my grandfather had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's go and see Mr. Zhao's affairs first, and we'll talk about the rest." Seeing that there is about to be a meeting to distribute the people who turn the soil, it is estimated that this grandson will definitely give you the piece of land on the northwest slope. ”

I also have a bit of a headache, there is a famous saline-alkali land, the land is very difficult to open, there are hard bumps everywhere, but the village calls on everyone: how bold the people are, how productive the land is.

Yang Dabao had to open up the wasteland, and he worked hard to cultivate the wasteland every year, but there was no harvest every year.

Under Yang Dabao's calculations, the work of turning over the soil was distributed to my family almost every year, and my grandfather also suffered a lot of crimes. This year is not expected to be bad. A few hoes are to be scrapped in that land every year.

"Yang Dabao is really shameless, but we don't have a trick. ”

Yang Yulan had already been diagnosed by the town's doctor and was in poor health and had never worked. The whole village knew that she had nothing to do with her health, and when it was time to distribute the food in the autumn, she would receive the most, but who dared to say a word more?

My grandfather stood up and said, "You rest, let's go to the city tomorrow, you go to bed early." ”

I sent my grandfather out, and when I came back knitting wool, I was thinking about how to solve this matter, anyway, I would never touch the saline-alkali land.

The next morning, my grandfather and I had dinner and were going to town.

Mr. Zhao didn't have much energy, and he sent us out in a padded jacket, and he didn't know what we were going to do.

My grandfather said, "I won't let you drink, you have to listen, now you have a headache." Let's get inside. It's cold outside, you can rest!"

"I know, thank you, brother, I'll make you lunch. "Mr. Zhao went back.

My grandfather and I walked to the town, just over an hour away. After the Spring Festival, the weather was obviously warmer and I drank more, and I was not too tired to walk on the road.

From time to time, bicycles ride past us, which is a relatively good family in the village. At that time, there were bicycles at home, and they were similar to modern people who drove luxury cars, and they would definitely look at them with envy.

My grandfather laughed, "What, do you want to buy a bike? ”

I quickly refused: "Don't, I don't want to ride." ”

As I was talking, there was a crisp sound of bicycle bells behind me, as if it was close to me? I quickly stood on the side and let the other party pass, who knew that a girl shouted, "Stop, I'll stop you!"

A girl in a padded jacket got out of the back seat of her bicycle and walked around with me. It's Xiao Fangfang, she has slender eyes, thin lips, and speaks crisply, which is not easy to mess with at first glance. The person riding the bicycle was Zhang Erzhu, who also came down.

Xiao Fangfang looked me up and down with her arms crossed, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "You have been very prosperous recently, and they are all talking about you." ”

I said, "You're on your bike, congratulations."

Xiao Fangfang touched her hair proudly: "That's, who made our family have good conditions and money." Do you have anything to say to me? Confess leniently, resist strictly, say, forget this matter, don't say it, this girl and you are not finished. ”

I frowned slightly, "What do you mean, I haven't made any big mistakes, have I?"

"What do you mean? Did you hook up with my partner in the field before? I told you that there are silver dollars in this field, right? You and your grandfather quietly dug it up, and then swallowed it yourself? Do you think you did too much, and if you don't give us half of it, I'm not done with you!"

Oh, I see, this girl is unhappy because of Yinyuan, and also because I am unhappy talking to Zhang Erzhu?

In fact, I thought about it before, this news Zhang Erzhu really helped me, waiting for him to get married, I will send more congratulatory gifts, it is impossible to say the silver dollar, otherwise, we will really be unlucky.

Zhang Erzhu said a little timidly, "Fangfang, don't make trouble, we have to go to the town to pull fabrics and make clothes for you." ”

"!" Xiao Fangfang pushed her fiancé: "If it weren't for my parents to persuade me, would I still be able to live with you?" I always thought you were just a wretched fool, but I didn't expect that you were still very good at chatting, who taught you?"

My grandfather said, "Xiao family girl, don't speak too badly, Xiu'er and Zhang Erzhu have nothing to do with it." ”

I also said, "Yes, you are such a young and good-looking girl, and you are not at ease? If you are really not at ease, then you don't want to get married, why do you make excuses to push it on me? Are you so bold, I think you are so capable, it's ridiculous." ”

Xiao Fangfang was choked by my words, and then said angrily, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the silver dollar, did you steal it?"

"Nope. Our house was searched all the time, and if we were there, it would be confiscated by the village party secretary. ”

Xiao Fangfang turned around and kicked Zhang Erzhu: "You speak!"

Zhang Erzhu was about to cry, rubbing his knees and coming over: "This thing is... I told you that. If you do find it, you should add two to five. ”

"Why do you think I did it?"

"I... I've been watching you coming. Zhang Erzhu said in a low voice.

I frowned slightly, so the people who had been monitoring us before were not only educated youths, but also Zhang Erzhu?
