………………

At noon, I ate stewed fish with sauce, and the fish came back from my grandfather's first day.

At noon, I only cared about my mother-in-law's business. I didn't look carefully at how many fish my grandfather had raised, but when I cleaned up the fish, I realized that my grandfather had picked up half a bucket of 20 centimeters of fish.

There are many types of fish, including silver carp, old head fish, and crucian carp. At noon, we stewed silver carp and old man fish in sauce, which was delicious.

The rest of the crucian carp, grandpa said that the spines are more fleshy and less meaty, use it to make soup and drink it at night, it is better to drink.

During the meal, I also asked my aunt if my eldest brother didn't come back at noon?

The eldest aunt said: "It's a little far away, and I won't come back at noon, besides, I can still make my hungry stomach at noon when I work for his family" After speaking, she laughed first. We all said, 'That's the new aunt who came to work, can you still make me hungry!'

Get up for a nap and sit in the yard. Listen to my grandfather talk about the Northeast at that time.

It turned out that his grandfather was the first batch of educated youths who went to the countryside, and he came to the Northeast to participate in the reclamation of wasteland, and he worked for many years, and later he married his grandmother here, and he once had the opportunity to return to the city. But at that time, my father and my uncle were still young, and there were no relatives in the city. So grandpa decided to settle down in this backer.

The accountant was let by my grandfather after he gave up the opportunity to return to the city, and the old accountant of the previous term, that is, my grandfather, let my grandfather take over. (At that time, the village officials were all in the previous term, who decided who would be next?)

Grandpa said that they were only complaining at that time, and there were two famines.

I asked, "Famine is a reduction in production, and there is no food?"

Grandpa said, "Those two famines! Every year there is a great harvest! All the grain is handed over to the state." We were very real at that time, and every brigade rushed to pay more food. The team only gave the people a small amount of cornmeal, some sorghum rice and a lot of potatoes. But no matter how many potatoes there are, it won't be full, and our stomachs will be sour and sour when we eat them."

I asked, "Why do you have to hand it over to the state?"

Grandpa said: "Didn't there be a slogan back then! Tighten your belt and pay off the Soviet Union's foreign debts." ”

I said, "No one starved to death."

Grandpa said: "Thanks to our mountain, as long as we survive the winter, the wild vegetables in the mountains will be eaten in the spring." Although they couldn't fill their stomachs, no one really starved to death. I heard from the Shandong people who fled the famine that the side of Guanli's house was miserable, and the bark was eaten up."

I said, "Yes, I remember when I was young, there were quite a few Shandong people here, and they might be able to get by." Why did they all leave? There aren't a few left."

Grandpa said: "They, they heard that we were going to fight with the Soviet Union, so they all ran back to Guanli. ”

Later, he said that when the Great Northeast was first opened, it was really good to beat roe deer, scoop fish, and pheasants flew into the rice pot.

We sat outside and talked until the sun was getting west, when the eldest brother came back a little sullenly.

Looking at the eldest brother's face, he was a little unhappy. The eldest lady asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you eat at noon?

The eldest brother lowered his head and said, "No, it's time for lunch, yes...... Today, Cuilan told me that his father might ask a matchmaker to negotiate the bride price with our family in the evening. ”

The eldest aunt said: "Didn't you say that you would discuss the ceremony after cleaning up Qiu'er?"

The eldest brother replied: "Cuilan said that her eldest brother met a girl, and the people were in a hurry, and his family had no money, so he wanted to use Cuilan's bride price to marry his eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

The eldest aunt said, "What should we do then?

Uncle also sighed.

Grandpa said: "Don't worry, you can't be yellow when you meet someone you like." I'll just go out and borrow some and pay them back in the fall."

As I listened, I suddenly remembered that something like this had happened in my previous life. The eldest brother's object didn't work out because the other party wanted too much. Grandpa didn't borrow enough money, and after the incident, he had an illness, and his health has not been good ever since.

In the previous life, the eldest brother was a sister-in-law who married two years late, and that sister-in-law is not bad. is also quite capable of work, but it is too powerful, and we are all aggrieved when we look at the eldest brother, because this eldest aunt has quarreled with her a lot.

At that time, I also sent a telegram to the pillar asking for money, but the pillar did not receive it because he changed troops, so he did not send me the money. Later, every time I saw my sister-in-law scolding my eldest brother and bowing her head, and I didn't know how to reply, I felt very uncomfortable.

In my previous life, I didn't know that there was gold in my family, but in this life, I knew that there was gold in my family. You can't take it out easily, it's a disaster to let others know. If you really can't help it, you can rest assured that you can use the money that has passed the bright road.

Zhu Zi came back ten years later and heard about it before telling me about it, and he changed troops at that time.

Now I really know where his troops are, and I still have to call him for this telegram. Just change the address to his new unit now. He'll be able to take it, but I don't know if he has any money in his hand now, and he'll come back ten years later, but he'll take a lot.

Tomorrow is the day of the market, let the second brother take me to the market, and I can shoot the telegram to the pillar.

This matter hasn't been done yet, so when the pillar sends the money over, I'm talking to the eldest lady. I didn't say anything when I thought about it, I just listened.

Although there was fish soup for dinner, it ended in silence.

God, just when it was about to get dark, the matchmaker came to the door.

Speaking of the bride price, I am a married girl, and it is not easy to mix. I took my mother-in-law back to the house, (my mother-in-law was having dinner with us today.) I thought I'd wait until tomorrow to get up and ask how much I wanted, and see if I remembered wrong.

The exchange of the sun and the moon, the transformation of night and white.

Get up to the sound of the rooster crowing, and when you get up, you see everybody. None of them are as happy as they were yesterday, and they should be worried about money.

After breakfast, the uncle and grandfather went out to borrow money.

Big brother, I won't go to my father-in-law's house today, and I'm going to go to the mountains with my second brother to collect firewood for a while.

I quietly called to the eldest aunt. Q: How much did the woman ask for?

The eldest aunt whispered with a sad face: "Why did you ask for 800? How can you ask for so much, you only gave 200 yuan when you got married." ”

It seems that I am not mistaken, I remember asking for eight or nine hundred dollars.

"Second brother" I hurriedly shouted, and the second brother who walked out said: "Second brother, don't go up the mountain today, come with me to the market, I want to take a telegram to the pillar and tell her about giving birth." ”

Second brother, I looked at the eldest aunt and said let's walk.

I said to my aunt, "Auntie, you can help me watch the children, and if the children are hungry, feed them some rice soup." ”

The eldest lady said: "Okay, I know how to take care of the children, you go to the market don't buy too many useless things, save money and spend." ”

"Okay" promised and walked out with the second brother.
