A night of chaotic dreams, when it was dawn, Lin Weiguo was called out by Lin Zijiao.

"Brother, get up quickly, let's go and deliver food to grandma's house today. ”

After going to grandma's house, you can go to grandpa's house, and you can see herself in this life.

The Lin family prepared the grain early tomorrow, and the meat was cut and put in the cool room, frozen to the core.

Twenty catties of rice, fifteen catties of white flour, a palm-wide meat with four fingers of thick fat, two packets of brown sugar and one packet of white sugar wrapped in earthy yellow wrapping paper, tied with paper ropes of the same color.

Zheng Guihua looked at it and was quite satisfied, and took out another bag, which contained the new cotton clothes and cotton shoes she made for Mrs. Zheng and her younger brother, and put them on Lin Zijiao's arm.

She told her son and daughter that they must be careful on the road, and don't hang up the noodle bags and rice bags, because they don't know when the food is spilled.

The brother and sister agreed repeatedly, Lin Weiguo tied the two noodle bags together, carried them on his shoulders one after the other, and snatched the meat from Lin Zijiao's hand and carried it, beckoning the little sister to follow.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Zheng Guihua chased after her again, holding an oiled paper bag in her hand and handing it to Lin Zijiao: "This is the snack that your father bought for your grandma, you can bring it." ”

She glared at Lin Zijiao: "You are not allowed to steal food on the road! I will come back and kill you when I know about it!"

Lin Zijiao smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement, her psychological age is already in her forties, how could she steal the old man's things.

In his previous life, Lin Zijiao did not have much impression and understanding of Zheng Guihua's mother-in-law, but only knew that Zheng Guihua had three younger brothers in the family, she was the eldest in the family and the only daughter of the Zheng family.

Zheng Guihua's mother, who is now Lin Zijiao and Lin Weiguo's grandmother's house, is not too far from the family courtyard of the grain station, and it is only about half an hour's walk away.

Not far from the compound, Lin Zijiao snatched the meat from his brother's hand, and stuffed the oil paper bag to his brother: "Brother, you carry such a heavy thing, the meat is carried for me, and you hold the peach crisp, which also saves me from eating it secretly." ”

Lin Weiguo laughed, and didn't compete with her, but joked with her with a smile: "Yes, you gluttonous cat is self-aware." ”

Lin Zijiao carried the meat in one hand and the burden in the other, the brother and sister talked all the way, and when they arrived at their grandmother's house, Lin Zijiao already knew almost the situation of Zheng Guihua's mother's family.

Zheng Guihua's maiden family was originally in the countryside of a neighboring county, and after Zheng Guihua's father died, she took her mother-in-law to live in the mine, and specially built a new house for her mother's family.

Mrs. Zheng's eldest son Zheng Youde was admitted to the technical secondary school a few years ago, Mrs. Zheng was unwilling to provide him with a study, and wanted him to learn carpentry to live his son, and finally Zheng Guihua gritted his teeth and tightened his belt, for the eldest brother to finish the secondary school, Zheng Youde graduated, assigned to the Zheng family's hometown Linshui County Taxation Bureau to work.

Zheng Youde has already married a family, with a son and a daughter under his knees, the eldest son is the same age as Lin Zijin, and the daughter is a few years younger.

The other two sons of the Zheng family, Zheng Youcai and Zheng Youzhi, followed Mrs. Zheng to Jinhai City.

The second eldest Zheng Youcai rejected the proposal of the eldest brother Zheng Youde.

Zheng Youde meant to let him take the secondary school exam, and then Zheng Youde and Zheng Guihua would provide him with study.

Zheng Youcai was unwilling.

The situation in the eldest brother's family is not very good, and the elder sister's family has just provided the eldest brother for less than two years, and the burden is too heavy for him to be provided again.

Zheng Youcai made his own opinion, begged Lin Jiaming to help him find a job, and arranged to work as a miner in Dongfanghong Coal Mine.

Zheng Youcai is only a temporary worker in the mine, and the work in the mine is hard and dangerous, but it is much better than digging in the rural soil and not having enough to eat all year round.

Last year, he found a local worker's daughter to marry, and the two gave birth to a daughter, who just turned one year old this year, quite well-behaved and cute, although the life of the two is not rich, but they are also harmonious and beautiful.

The path taken by the third Zheng Youzhi is different from that of his brothers and sisters.

At this time, there is no need to take the high school exam, and if you are willing to continue studying after graduating from junior high school, you can directly go to high school.

With the support of Lin Jiaming's two sons, Zheng Youzhi barely graduated from high school.

When he was looking for a job, he thought that the work in the mine was too tiring and dangerous, and he thought that Lin Jiaming would help him arrange for him to work in a glamorous and powerful grain unit.

However, there are not many temporary jobs in the grain unit, and even the children of the workers in the unit cannot be arranged, so how can Zheng Youzhi be taken in turn.

Zheng Youzhi was disappointed, and he didn't do his job all day long, and followed a group of unemployed young people of the same age to mess around on the street.

A few years ago, when he went to the countryside on a large scale, Zheng Siren was forced by the street to go to the countryside to become an educated youth.

At that time, Mrs. Zheng heard that her favorite youngest son was going to the countryside to become an educated youth, so she sat on the ground of the Lin family and cried and sprinkled.

She insisted that Lin Jiaming and Zheng Guihua wanted to kill Zheng Youzhi, but Lin Jiaming was so troubled that he couldn't do it, and he also thought of a way in desperation.

If Zheng Youzhi was willing to go to work in the mine at that time, and Lin Jiaming would have taken away from the relationship, maybe Zheng Youzhi could really escape the fate of being an educated youth.

But Zheng Youzhi refused to go to the mine, according to him, he would rather go to the countryside to work and work in the middle of the mine, which is better than going up and down the mine.

Zheng Youzhi is telling the truth, after all, the current work is recorded according to the head, as long as you follow the field, it is not much better to do a good job.

The work in the underground is different, one radish and one pit, everyone needs to make a real effort, it is difficult to steal and cheat, and many positions are still dangerous.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, Zheng Youzhi finally went to the countryside to become an educated youth.

The brother and sister talked all the way to Mrs. Zheng's house.

Mrs. Zheng's house is about the same size as the Lin family's house, because it is far from the street, the land is not so tight, so the yard is very large, and a small vegetable garden is planted in it, and a few fruit trees are planted.

The door was pinned from the inside, Lin Weiguo knocked on the door vigorously for a while, and found that because the doors and windows were closed in winter, the people in the house could not hear it at all.

There was no way, he went around to the back window of the house again, picked a dry branch and knocked on the back window, and Mrs. Zheng heard it and promised to come out and open the door.

Mrs. Zheng was a shriveled and thin old lady with dark skin and yellow eyes and little eyes, and she didn't have any expression when she saw her grandson and granddaughter, so she turned around and walked into the house by herself.

Lin Zijiao entered the courtyard gate, and the first thing he saw was a goat.

The mother goat, who was chained to the side of the tree in the yard, was gray and white, and the two milk bags were so swollen that the boss hung under him, and when she saw someone enter the door, she bleated loudly.

The two followed Mrs. Zheng into the house, put the food and meat in the kitchen, and Lin Zijiao put the burden on the kang.

"Grandma, this is the padded jacket my mother sewed for you, and the cotton shoes made for my uncle. ”

Mrs. Zheng opened the bag and took out a padded jacket, unfolded it and shook it, and then put it on the kang casually, revealing a look of disdain and disgust.

"Look at this needle and thread, it's a pity to have good fabrics, hey, it's a shame to wear it out!"
