Liu Baiquan's cousin is Xie Chengshu, the second son of his uncle's eldest son, who is more than ten years younger than Liu Yujin. When Liu Yujin took his wife and younger siblings to his house, he was only five or six years old at the time, and he was between being sensible and not sensible.www.biquge.info At that time, although their family was different from outside the mountains, each family still had a lot of taro as rations, as long as they dared to venture into the mountains and get some wild vegetables, fruits, edible leaves, mountain mushrooms, and wild things back, a few things were mixed up, and they could always easily feed the family. But with Liu Yujin's family of seven people joining in, although it is a few families to bear it together, it is also a very heavy burden. Adults can always endure it, but it is difficult to endure it willingly with hungry children.

So one day, this Xie Chengshu was treated as the first bird by the big guy, and Liu Yuyin, who was about the same age as him, was pushed out to fight. After beating people, in front of Liu Yujin, who was already an adult, he scolded their family for asking for food. Liu Yujin still wanted to endure it at that time and wait until his uncle came to pick him up, but Liu Yuyin couldn't bear it, he wanted to leave alive or dead, and he didn't beg for help here when he starved to death. Several uncles and grandfathers knew about the starvation of people under the mountain, so how could they let them go? But Liu Yuyin didn't eat for two days in a row, just about to leave, and there was no way, so several uncles and grandfathers gathered three bags of dried taro and asked them to take home.

This incident is unpleasant, although more than ten years have passed, Wang Hongying has not forgotten it, and Xie Chengshu is even more unforgettable. At that time, after the Liu brothers and sisters-in-law left, he was beaten severely, and he was boiled wild vegetables for three days and a day, not to mention corn paste, and even taro scalp did not let him take a look. When he was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, his ears were ringing, his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't even cry, his father allowed him to eat with everyone.

Seeing this eldest cousin-in-law today, even if he was ignorant and provoked by his childhood, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Standing at the table with a stiff smile on his face, he didn't want to go this way if he had a way.

In previous years, when they were in the big collective, everyone could more or less get two catties of rice and five catties of white flour every month, but this year, after they also divided the land and tea gardens on the mountains to the households, these subsidies were gone, and they could only eat their own corn and taro.

These young people can still carry it, what kind of coarse grain and fine grains? But his grandfather, uncle, and grandmother occasionally want to drink white rice porridge, and the more they can't drink it, the more they want to think about it. In addition, the children of the family can't see anything in a short time, and if they eat coarse grains for a long time, they can find that the children have various physical problems due to malnutrition, and the adults dare not drag it out like this for the sake of the children. He was because his eldest niece had a marriage under the mountain, so he thought about picking up a few loads of corn kernels, going down the mountain with his nephew, and asking his niece-in-law to help bring back a little rice with the people under the mountain.

Who knows, no one at the bottom of the mountain eats corn, and only a few people will change a liter to go home, waiting for the New Year to fry popcorn for the children to grab the hands of the New Year. He and his nephew and niece-in-law picked up three loads and went down the mountain, and it took two days to exchange for a load of corn kernels. There were still two loads of corn kernels left, and they couldn't pick them back, so they had to be cheeky and take their nephew to pick up the corn and find this cousin's house.

Wang Hongying is a clear-eyed person, and he saw that this old cousin was uncomfortable at a glance, so he said with a smile: "Cousin Chengshu, it is said that we should have visited a few uncles and grandmothers for so many years, but we are thinking about earning work and giving more food to the family every day, and we are really reluctant to leave for a day." I originally thought that I could finally go into the mountains to see a few of their old people during the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't expect that we would let you come over first, we are really rude!"

"Don't say that, my grandfather, second master, and third master have all thought that your family hasn't gone for a personal walk for so many years, and it must be that the production team won't let you go. My grandfather was too old to walk far, and in early summer he wanted to come and see. If my cousin could go and see it, I don't know how happy my father would be. ”

Since he said this, Liu Baiquan next to him hurriedly answered: "I can't go before this year, but after the New Year, it may be the fourth or fifth day of the new year, as long as it doesn't rain or snow, I will take your old watch over to pay New Year's greetings to a few uncles." ”

The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and it is dangerous to catch up with the rain and snow that can kill people, Liu Baiquan does not dare to succeed in this hero.

"Okay, Uncle Cousin, you like to eat sour bamboo shoots, I'll ask my mother to keep a few jars and bring you back roast meat to eat when the time comes." ”

Zhu Linglong saw them patronizing and talking, and became a little anxious: "Chengshu has to wait for the old family to come over and eat together, don't you worry about it when it's cold?" You hurry up and eat, Lao Liu is going to buy meat in a while, and I and the eldest daughter-in-law will kill geese and chickens." Chengshu, don't worry about this corn, I and my eldest daughter-in-law will stay. We have many relatives here, and the family gives them two liters to fry and make snacks for their children, but I'm afraid it's not enough. I guess, you're just afraid that you'll have to make another trip and send two picks over. This rice, you don't want to do anything about three liters of corn and one liter of rice. As long as you and your eldest nephew can pick and choose, you can pick as many as you want. After our family paid the public grain, there was still a lot of surplus grain, which was not less than these loads. ”

Zhu Linglong dares to be so generous, because there are old people who want to rely on how much they are there. Back then, this uncle's family saved the lives of their family, not to mention that their family has this dependence, even if they don't, they have to borrow a few loads of rice to bring back as much as possible to this cousin and nephew.

"How can this work! Absolutely not, I can only change it like others, or if I go back, my father will beat me to death." ”

"Don't talk about it, just listen to your cousin. Tomorrow you will have another day and rest. The day after tomorrow, I will send you out of Shiqiao Town, the path is much closer, and you can save some feet next time!"

When Liu Yujin arrived home, the food at home had not yet been prepared, so he was a little anxious. Xie Chengshu and the others are all talking about the situation of each family in Liu Baiquan's house for so many years, Liu Yujin has not seen anyone from the family, and of course he does not know the situation. shouted at his daughter-in-law: "Why haven't you cooked yet, what are Guixiang and Minghua eating?"

"What are you shouting, you can still make them hungry! I had already cooked two dishes and sent them away. ”

Knowing that he was not hungry for the two children, Liu Yujin had nothing to say, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he found the situation: "How do you cook so many dishes today? Who is in the family?" Looking at the small square table in the kitchen, there were already six plates full of meat dishes, very sure.

Wang Hongying deliberately pretended to smile very mysteriously, "It's someone you would never think of." ”
