Old Days (46)

I thought that the life of this exploration group would not be too good, but I didn't expect that the hardship would be like this.

The men went back to the village, and they stayed at the brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters is also not bad, leaving the bungalows to the exploration team, they work daily, and build two other grass houses not far from the brigade headquarters, which are used temporarily.

In the brigade headquarters, I slept on a wooden bed.

In fact, it's not a bed, it's a door panel, I don't know whose door panel contributed it, and a stack of broken bricks of different sizes was used as a support to prop up the bed. But maybe because there are few bricks, the bed is only two turns high from the ground. It can only be guaranteed to barely protect from moisture.

The room was as cold as an ice cellar. But it can't be helped, there's no firewood to burn!

In fact, there was no shortage of firewood in rural areas in previous years. But this year is different, there is no straw in the field, even the grass roots are sticking out. What else are you burning?

When the fourth master came, several people's lunch boxes were washed and cleaned thatched roots. Take the thatch root and chew it in your mouth, but your eyes are staring at the drawings laid on the ground, and you and I are discussing something one by one.

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind came in, blowing the blueprints up a corner, and a few people looked up.

I thought it was a child from the village who was curious to come and play, but who knew that it was an unexpected visitor.

"Metalworker!" Han Tiexin stood up and stuffed the lunch box in his hand into the arms of the colleague on the side, "You are the first person to come to us this year." A day later, we'll be in the mountains again. ”

Puffiness, caused by hunger.

But this is such a physical condition, and he still insists on exploring.

The fourth master said: "Where can I come to the door empty-handed and bring something for the New Year." Help me move it. ”

The content of this chapter was updated by Handmade

Also brought something.

But after moving things in from the car one by one, a few people saw what it was, and then they reacted.

"This ...... This ...... "It's too expensive."

Han Tiexin, as the team leader, held the hand of the fourth master: "Don't say anything! ”

There was meat and vegetables, and a few people were shouting to make dumplings. I dream of eating dumplings with meat and eggs.

A few people were busy, so the fourth master went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a phone, and first called Tongtong and asked her to find an acquaintance and bring some dry food. These people are easy to take with them when they go into the mountains. Then find the captain and borrow firewood!

It's not in vain, after a while, when the planting begins, the fourth master promised that people could send people to 115 to pull sweet potato seedlings. This year, it is estimated that other crops will not be able to be planted, but sweet potatoes can barely be planted. As long as you find a way to make the seedlings survive, even if the harvest is almost enough, it will be enough for the big guys to eat. Now in the village, even if you want to farm, you don't even have seeds.

Last year, Lin Baichuan got a cart of sweet potatoes, which were thin and small, and they were not suitable for seedlings.

As soon as the fourth master said this, what else did the captain say. Just say that you can rest assured, this time is also the New Year, but I didn't expect the people in the exploration team to go home, and they came back suddenly, so they didn't take care of it. Now that we know their situation, everything must be fully prepared, whether they are there or not, firewood or something must be arranged.

And then find someone to chop the tree and chop wood! Now that the tree has been peeled, where can it get wet? Anyway, the branches are relatively dry. Cut it down and use it.

The fourth master sat down to light the fire for them, and talked about the progress of this period of time by the way. It wasn't until Lin Yutong found an acquaintance at the post office that he had stored the dried steamed buns that he had not eaten before, as well as the steamed steamed buns at home and the like, and sent them to the place, and the fourth master took the things and left them for the exploration team, so he drove back.

When she left the village, Li Yuefen was waiting at the entrance of the village with a pimple. The fourth master didn't stop and left directly.

Pimple asked his grandmother: "Didn't my uncle see us?"

"Yes!" Li Yuefen nodded: "I didn't see it...... Right?"

"Shall we go to my uncle's house then?" asked the pimple again.

"No!" Li Yuefen pretended to be confused by the sand and wiped a handful of tears. Holding his grandson's hand, he walked back, "Let's go home! ”

As a result, when she arrived at the door of the house, Li Yuefen was stunned.

The person standing in front of the house is ...... Gao Xiulan's mother's family!

"You ...... How did you get here?" Li Yuefen asked with a vigilant face as she hid her precious grandson behind her.

More than a dozen people had smiles on their faces, and the old lady who nodded at the head said, "Look at what your in-laws said...... This is the New Year, let's come to pay New Year's greetings to our in-laws. ”

"What in-laws?" Li Yuefen frowned: "We are not in-laws for a long time." ”

"That's not right!" The daughter-in-law of the Gao family spoke up later, "Our aunt and grandmother of the Gao family gave birth to a son to your Jin family." This golden lump in your family jumped out of the stomach of the woman of the Gao family. We're our uncles. It is said that my mother's uncle is as big as the sky! My aunt, can you not ask your child to recognize your uncle!"

Li Yuefen looked at the Gao family like wolves and tigers, and she was timid in her heart.

The Gao family didn't dare to make trouble before, but the fourth child was there in town. Now they see the fourth child going in and out of the village, but they never come back to see their mothers, they are not afraid, and they dare to come to the door to make trouble.

I was stunned for a moment, and the two little daughters-in-law of the Gao family came over and pulled the pimple, crying with a sharp voice: "My nephew! Pity my nephew who died ...... my mother-in-law!"

The pimple was so frightened that he cried out: "You get up! I don't know you! I'm not your nephew! My mother is not dead, she is at home." ”

Although Li Yuefen doesn't like Liu Lingdang, she doesn't like Gao Xiulan more than Liu Lingdang.

Therefore, he never told the child about his mother's death.

When Liu Ling entered the door, the pimple was only one year old, and he was still holding it in his arms, so he didn't remember anything at all. When the child was three or four years old, Li Yuefen always scolded: "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather......". But when the child was older and it was time to remember, she didn't shout like that.

There are grandfathers and grandmothers in the family, fathers and mothers, and in the subconscious of children, they naturally do not think about who is the mother and who is not. He is the only child in the family, and there is no comparison. Therefore, if you eat well and dress well, he will not think about it like that. What about Liu Ling, who is more good at being a person, and has never blushed with anyone in the village. It's not good to be enthusiastic about anyone, and it's been a few years since I got married, and I haven't seen a child. Everyone thinks that if you don't want to make enemies with others, you shouldn't say anything about your mother and stepmother in front of your children, leaving a son in front of you, and the child is still young.

Because of this, no one in the village chewed his tongue and said: Pimple, the mother in your family is actually your stepmother.

There is no such thing!

So, the appearance of this Gao family frightened the pimple.

He howled outside at the top of his voice: "Mother-mother-bad people have come to arrest me." ”

This 'mother' screamed, and Liu Ling's heart trembled.

The child is still young, what are the adults teaching, and what are his great sins?

So little, living in a yard, I have no more opinions in my heart, but I still watch the child grow from such a little bit to such a big one.

She got down from the kang, picked up the sickle hanging on the wall, and went out.

He opened the door suddenly, held a sickle, and glared: "What are you doing? Who are you? You came to our door and shouted at us, and you scared my son, what do you want to do!" See who dares to do anything to you. ”

This appearance called the pimple to have a backbone in his heart, broke free from all the hands holding him, and slipped behind Liu Lingdang.

The people of the Gao family were startled, and they didn't react for a while.

Liu Ling didn't give them time to react, snorted lightly, pulled the pimple and entered the house, and then tied the door from the inside. It doesn't matter how you scold outside.

Following the bell into the house, the pimple was still a little restrained. I lowered my head and didn't dare to raise it: "The milk is still outside." ”

"It's okay!" Liu Lingzhong said: "They are here to find you, you are not here, they will not be difficult for your grandmother." ”

"Then why are they looking for me?" Pimple raised his head, "They said you weren't my mother, and my grandmother wouldn't let me call you mother......"

"That's because your grandmother is afraid that you will kiss me, not her. It's okay, whether you call it or not, I'm your mother. You just have to listen to your milk and she will give you something to eat. This is for your good. Liu Lingzhong said to the child.

The pimple was a little confused, but the general meaning was understood. It's not that my mother doesn't love him, but she just likes to call her milk and likes him, so he can live well.

He let out an 'oh' and nodded and was about to speak, when a noise came from outside.

It was the Gao family who was scolding Li Yuefen.

"Cruel! Poisonous! Don't let my daughter eat, it will kill my daughter. He was so cruel that he didn't even call the man to eat, and killed the man too......"

Jin Dashan's death is a knot in Li Yuefen's heart that cannot be untied.

No one can mention it, and whoever mentions it to her is anxious.

At this time, the Gao family said this again, and she ran into these people desperately: "I fought with you people who killed a thousand knives......"

The people of the Gao family naturally did not dare to carry Li Yuefen hard.

No matter how the son of the family says, he is also a cadre who eats commercial grain, and his in-laws are still in charge of the officials. It doesn't matter if it's a small fight, but if you really hurt someone, then it's not over.

As soon as Li Yuefen's ruthlessness came up, it scared the Gao family away.

She sat on the floor of the doorway, leaning against the closed door behind her, and began to cry with a whimper.

Listening to what the Gao family said, he asked, "Is that my uncle's house?" Why did you say that my milk killed his daughter's life......

Liu Lingdang looked at the pimple twice, this kid is not stupid, and he doesn't just know how to eat and play stupidly.

He said, "Whether it's your uncle or not, you don't have to recognize that bastard." Didn't those who came a year ago also say that they were your uncle, and didn't your grandmother tell you not to recognize them, didn't I also kick people out? Didn't they scold me at the door?"

Oh, there's such a thing.

Liu Ling sighed: It was his own brother who came home a year ago, and he wanted food when he came, and whose family's food was not tight. When I was about to die, no one came to ask, but this is the time, and I ran over. Tie up Li Yuefen, she is called a mother, and she is a sharp-hearted grandson who pleases others, and she is a nephew and an uncle. When she saw it, she was angry, and she directly took the sickle and drove the person out. Who is his nephew, his own nephew is gone before he is born. Where did he come from nephew?

Because his uncle had appeared before, Liu Lingdang didn't have any difficulty explaining at all.

“…… Said to kill their daughter...... That's to say I still have your unborn sister...... "That's how she fools children."

Jin Pimple turned around a few times in his heart: "You were given to the Liu family by the Gao family......"

The Gao family kept saying what happened to their Gao family, but their mother's family, Liu Ling, was surnamed Liu. Grandma said every time, what is the matter with Liu Ling.

How could this person surnamed Liu be the daughter of a family with a high surname?

Liu Lingzhong smiled: "Yes! I was sold to someone else for money." Since the money has been exchanged, it naturally has nothing to do with their family. ”

In fact, when Gao Xiulan got married, she actually sold it for money. The bride price is not less.

If it is sold, it is sold, Gao Xiulan can't see through it and keeps trying to make up for her mother's family, fighting with her mother-in-law's family for her mother's family, and putting her life into it. She's not that stupid, it's true that she's doing her best.

When he said this, he was deceiving the child. But that doesn't mean it's all a lie.

Like an uncle like the Gao family, what else do you recognize!

Liu Lingdang took the opportunity to say: "With your uncle's brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, that's a real relationship." A bloodline and a root, this is the in-law of the in-laws. It's with your two aunts' cousins, and that's also close. As the saying goes, aunt cousin aunt cousin, break bones and tendons. Understood?"

To understand is to understand.

However, if you are the daughter of the Liu family and the Gao family, isn't that the aunt of the children of the Liu family and the Gao family, and I am not also a cousin of the family, and I am not also a broken bone and tendon.

Thinking so, he asked like this, and asked Liu Lingdang for a long time before he said, "...... I'm not close to them, how can you be close to them. Whether it is the Gao family or the Liu family, they are all families who sell their daughters. If you can sell your own daughter, will you be reluctant to sell your nephew? Don't be stupid to get up, in case no one pays attention and arrest you and sell you to the ravine and the fool as a son, you can't eat enough and have to work and be beaten, what do I think you can do?"

A spirit that scared the pimple: "I'm definitely not going to kiss them." When I saw them, I ran away. I don't talk to them for the rest of my life. ”

That's right!

Liu Lingdang grabbed a handful of brown sugar that Lin Yutong sent her to nourish her body and stuffed it into the pimple's mouth: "Isn't it sweet?"

"Sweet!" With the delicious food, the child's face smiled like a flower.

Liu Ling pointed outside: "Then go and open the door for your milk." In the future, your grandmother won't let you call me mother, and you won't call me mother. As long as she gives you something to eat, it's okay to call me a mother or not. Remember, no matter what, I'm your mother. ”

Pimple nodded with a smile, finished the candy in his mouth, touched the side of his mouth, and made sure that there was no residue for people to see, so he jumped out.

The door opened, and the pimple whispered 'milk'.

Li Yuefen hugged the pimple and cried, and then helped the child up and looked up and down: "...... She didn't do anything to you, did she hit you? It's okay, tell your milk. ”

Pimple shook his head: "Didn't hit me." ”

"Did you call her mother?" Li Yuefen asked again.

The pimple was a little timid: "...... I screamed twice while I was outside...... I didn't call after I went in...... Milk doesn't call me, I know. I listen to the milk. ”

"Good!" Li Yuefen wiped her tears, "Let's go! ”

The mother-in-law and grandson came in, and Li Yuefen rested on the window of the house and looked out. The pimple carried Li Yuefen behind her back and secretly squeezed her eyes at Liu Ling, which made Liu Lingling laugh all of a sudden!

These things in his hometown, the fourth master doesn't know. When I went back, I discussed with Lin Yutong, this expedition team has to find a way to get some subsidies.

How?

"Buy food from the black market?" Lin Yutong asked.

The subsidy for the exploration team must not be hidden, but the food has to come from, and it has to be the kind of place that is clearly explained.

Buying food from the black market is not the right way, but it's better than getting more food out of thin air.

Besides, the sum of the salary subsidies of the two is really not low.

Everyone knows that the two of them have money in their hands, so their family's life has always been good, and everyone takes it for granted. If you have money in your hand, you can buy life-saving food at a high price.

As for how did the food on the black market come from?

It can only be said that there are always those who want money and don't want to die. Xu was used to farm at a high price
