In the evening, when Xiaowei's family sat together and watched TV, Xiaowei's mother talked about Zhang Guiqin's past.

Zhang Guiqin's hometown is in a county-level city below Andong in Liaodong and a town below it, called Qingduizi, six kilometers from the sea.

Qingduizi is a historical ancient town, its town was built hundreds of years earlier than the city that now manages it, and it has always been a port in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. In the thirties, the world collapsed, and the place was in decline, the port was deserted and silted, the lively streets and alleys were ruined, and it became a small fishing village, and finally, the fishing boats were no longer visible.

The Qingbu Wharf that was once prosperous in the past has disappeared, the glory of Taiping Street, Lower Street, Fish Market Street, and Caishen Street has become history, and the big businesses of Huaxingtai, Fuqing and Tongqing and Tianheyuan are only left with legends and a few dilapidated old mansions. The marriage of Fuqing and Miss Zhangjiajing may still be able to emerge in the memories of those old people and be told as a story for future generations.

History mercilessly grinds over the dust and returns to the dust.

Zhang Guiqin is the descendant of Fuqinghe, to be precise, Zhang Guiqin's father was the little master of Fuqinghe.

When Qingbu began to fall, the young master of the Zhang family had already married his wife as an adult, and the business was becoming more and more difficult.

Then the untie @ released, the land was confiscated, the house was confiscated, the family collapsed overnight, and it became an evil landlord and a rich man, and everyone shouted and beaten, and those who collected the land money came to divide the land and then became the owner of the Zhang family angrily scolded and scolded.

If the young master of the Zhang family knew that he was in the propaganda every day, he drove Huang Huang to swagger through the city and bullied the villagers for huge profits and collected rent, he might regret the reality of his life of being conscientious and careful every day, eating a salted egg for three or four days, and being regarded as a drunken talk by the villagers who couldn't open the pot and still wanted to gamble, prostitute and get drunk every day, but no one thought about why they were poor and why they were rich.

There is no reason to talk about things in the world, when Zhang Guiqin was born, his family was a farmer, and he was not treated by his neighbors.

In 85 years, Zhang Guiqin was 18 years old, although she was still a rich peasant in terms of household registration composition, but her life was normal, she was no longer frightened and frightened, and she had successfully completed junior high school.

In the winter of 85, the little girl came to Cupxi with a small bag on her back to join her relatives, the descendants of Miss Zhangjiajing Yida, the girl's aunt and brother, who was a cadre in a town below Cupxi County, and was considered a middle-class family in that era.

Miss Jingyi's marriage that caused a sensation in Qingbu was married to the eldest young master of the Liu family in the town, which was an official and merchant family, and also a well-known local landowner.

After marrying the eldest lady of the Zhang family, the eldest young master of the Liu family rose to the top and sat in the high position of the chief of the Bingcheng Police Department, and the eldest lady also became an official wife, wearing mink and gold in and out of the car, listening to music and watching plays, eating and calling restaurants, smoking American gold camels, smoking powder packets, and simply being happy, and then there was a storm overnight, and the world turned upside down.

An illiterate woman fled with her two young sons in panic, and was reduced to remarry in Cupxi and raise her children to adulthood. Then this stupid woman was still worried about her younger brother in her hometown, and the little valuable things on her body, suitcases, jewelry, clothes, everything that could be sold for money were handed back one after another, but she was poor.

Zhang Guiqin found her aunt's son with her aunt's letter address and stayed at her brother's house, and then her sister-in-law did not get along, and she went to the city to work alone, and in 86 she was introduced by others to marry her current husband.

When Zhang Guiqin first got married, state-owned enterprises were still real iron rice bowls, although her husband was a big collective, he also had an income of more than 100 a month, and the life of the two of them was still very good. However, the good times did not last long, and when the children of the two people were born, the big collective was not good, and they began to pay arrears, and they became a little money every once in a while.

From 85 to 90 years, the country began to restructure state-owned enterprises, and the market began to transition from a planned economy to a market economy.

Zhang Guiqin's personality is relatively strong, and she began to go out to learn to do business with others. Batch a little fruit in the summer, get some vegetables in the winter, and squat on the side of the road to sell, no matter how cold or hot. Her husband is still working in a half-dead unit, although the salary is not good, he has a lot of work, he has to go to work every day, and he has no time to help her.

It's okay in the summer, but it's just a little tired, and going to buy goods in the winter is simply an experience that is worse than death.

At that time, it was not as convenient as it is now, and there were no high-speed buses.

When you go, people stand in the cargo compartment of the car, and stand in the open air at more than 40 degrees below zero to blow the wind for an hour, and people who have not experienced it can never imagine that taste.

In this way, she still persevered, and her life has improved a little, and then she discussed with her husband that the work of this big collective is gone, and the two of them do business together, although it is hard, they earn a lot more than going to work, and the two of them have a support, and she doesn't have to work as hard as she is now, although she persevered, but how uncomfortable and painful it is, she knows that people don't like to be abused, and it must be better to be a little easier.

After a period of consideration, her husband agreed, so he took a long leave from the unit (he didn't resign at that time) and started a business with her.

She took care of the house, sold the goods, and her husband loaded the goods, allowing her to enjoy a few short "happy times".

Then disaster came, her father-in-law heard that her son was no longer in class to do business, and ran to her house like the sky had fallen to ask for the guilt.

quarreled, insulted, cried, like two people rebelled, and in the end, her father-in-law even directly moved with her and beat her. The two elderly people went to the house every day to make a fuss like going to work, and they couldn't do business, and the children were scared and sick, and they had severe cerebral palsy.

Where can a child under the age of two stand this kind of fright?

Then the house collapsed. Her husband went back to work in the big group, and she came out with some savings to learn baking, and there were some escape factors, which only she herself knew.

"So, what about her child?" asked Xiaowei in surprise.

Xiaowei's mother shook her head and said, "That's a living dead, he won't move, he will wipe some food in his mouth every day, and her man will serve it." That is, you can't strangle to death. ”
