In the past few years, the Spring Festival has been like this: at noon on the first day of the new year, they invited Yingfang's master and family to come over for dinner.

At noon on the second day of the new year, they went to Master Yingfang's house for dinner. Master Yingfang's house is her mother's house.

This has become a habit for both families. This year is no exception.

In the early years, Mrs. Shu would deliberately wait at the intersection to say a few unpleasant words, but the year before last, Shu Jianqiang's second-married daughter-in-law was pregnant, but when she was three months old, because Mrs. Shu did not twist the wet ground in time, which led to a slip and a miscarriage, she didn't have that time - she was almost kicked out by Shu Jianqiang, where is there still the strength to provoke others.

Shu Jianqiang's second daughter-in-law was also unlucky, she finally conceived a child the year before last, but was killed by her mother-in-law for a miscarriage. In the second half of last year, she became pregnant again, but the secretary went to a meeting in the county and came back to say that family planning was being promoted all over the country.

In fact, some people spread the news in May and June of the previous year, saying that cadres in the provincial capital had set an example and began to implement family planning with a maximum of two children per family.

For a while, many people were shocked. Some of them are very determined to start secretly brewing, and before the family planning goes to the county seat and the countryside, they will quickly have one or two more children and add a younger brother and sister to the eldest child. However, there are also those who do not believe it, and say false rumors and rumors! How can the state care how many young people have a few mouths? Isn't that nonsense?

It was not until October last year that the county town convened a meeting of grassroots cadres, saying that the authorities had sent a family planning guidance group to inspect the county, and that Ninghe County would strive to start implementing this policy so that no one would be left behind. Everyone really realized that this is not nonsense, it is true!

However, at that time, it was only for urban hukou. The countryside does not have this requirement because of the labor problem.

At that time, the small people with rural household registration were so excited. Originally, it was whimsical to please the wife in the city, and if you said it, you would be ridiculed as "a toad wants to eat swan meat", but as soon as this policy came out, the example of a city girl willing to marry a poor boy in the countryside became a beautiful talk.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, and the people in the countryside haven't been in for a few days before another document has come down, saying that the family planning policy will be extended to the whole country. There will be no differences between urban and rural areas. It also encourages rural areas in all localities to take the initiative to cooperate with higher-level departments to implement the policy before the specific policy is implemented. Those who have done well will become a model for the rural areas of the country and will be rewarded with both material and spiritual rewards.

In this way, can the county governments at all levels sit idly by and ignore the communes in their respective jurisdictions? Everyone wants to be a model for this? Anyway, it is only a matter of time before it is fully implemented, and it is actively promoted in their respective jurisdictions.

A family can only have two children at most, and it also advocates only children, and if you don't plan to have another child, the county will give you a reward.

The secretary realized the thoughts of the county-level cadres and persuaded the old Shu family to beat the child.

However, Shu Jianqiang's second daughter-in-law refused to live or die.

Shu Jianqiang has two children, yes, but none of them are hers. Her biological child is still waiting to come out in her womb. Persist in refusing to knock it out. Whoever persuaded her was in a hurry.

In this way, the secretary is also very helpless. He couldn't deliberately throw the pregnant woman. Thinking about it, the boss said that it was strictly abided by, and violators must be prosecuted, but if it is really born, you can't stuff the child back, right?

Who would have expected that this matter should be investigated strictly, especially when the red-headed document was just issued, and people from the county revolutionary committee came to the village to visit and guide them door to door almost every day.

found that Shu Jianqiang's family had violated the rules, and immediately dragged the pregnant woman to the county hospital, regardless of whether she was seven months old or eight months, she was forced to induce labor. After that, he was fined ten yuan.

Shu Jianqiang's second-married daughter-in-law cried to death, and hated Mrs. Shu because of this. If it weren't for her, she would have had a child the year before last, so why did she end up like this.

Shu Jianqiang also had a dislike with his wife because of this.

You said that you are an old woman, isn't it good for An An to take her grandson to cook at home? You have to compete with your daughter-in-law for favor.

It's just a matter of competing for favor, and you shouldn't let your daughter-in-law cook a meal when she is pregnant, like a fire in the stove room, and let her do a hygienic thing to make the house look like a flooded Dragon King Temple.

Can the mud not be slippery when it encounters water? Not to mention pregnant women, normal people will inevitably slip a few times.

Mrs. Shu didn't think she was wrong, on the contrary, she felt wronged, wiping her tears and crying: "Son! At my age, let me clean the corners of the corner, and I was so tired that my old eyes were dizzy and I didn't dry the water stains, which is not what I wanted. How can you blame me for everything? I can't blame me for the induction of labor. This country is also really, and the couple has to take care of how many babies they have......"

Shu Jianqiang was stunned when he heard this, covered his mother's mouth and pushed into the house: "Mother, you don't want to live, don't pull us." Can you say this casually? ”

In the past, when he heard the next-door neighbor scold his mother for being brainless and stupid, he would go back unconvinced. Now it seems that his mother is really brainless. Would someone with a brain say this?

If the house is copied one day, it will definitely be caused by his mother.

The more Shu Jianqiang thought about it, the more disgusted he was for this dead old woman, plus his daughter-in-law's weak body after inducing labor, her little face was pale and she was leaning on the bed and wiping her tears like Lin Daiyu at every turn, and she was so distressed that she simply asked the secretary to preside over the separation.

There are three main rooms and a firewood room, which are divided into two.

Mrs. Shu and Shu Caiyun are a family, and they get a main house and a firewood room, and he, his second daughter-in-law, and Shu Guigui are a family, and they have two main rooms.

But after all, Lao Shu's family is only one of his sons, even if the house lives separately, each eats and manages his own on weekdays, but the filial piety that should be there during the New Year's holidays is indispensable. This Shu Jianqiang also agreed, anyway, everything will be used according to other families in the village, as long as you don't live in the same room with the old woman. When I saw her old chrysanthemum face, I was upset.

Such a separation, not to mention Yanqi Commune, is unheard of by all the communes in Jiangbei combined.

But because Mrs. Shu did too many pickled things in the early stage, no one was willing to come forward to help her speak, and let her howl out of the sky, and finally broke up like this.

Poor Shu Caiyun was released from the cowshed and told that she would live with her grandmother in the future. Immediately, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Since then, Mrs. Shu has never shown her face in front of Yingfang's family.

First, she was disheartened by her little pampered son, and second, after the family was separated, Shu Caiyun was taken to the field by her to earn a share of the work, and she had to do the housework and everything by herself. When it's over, you have to pick up firewood and wild vegetables.

It's not enough to starve to death if you don't work, in addition to the alimony given by Shu Jianqiang on time, isn't there also the rations distributed by the village. But with these alone, how can the grandparents and grandchildren be fed. Although she often mutters "It's better to die on a day like this", she really let her die, and she still hasn't lived enough.

Ying Fang saw such an old lady Shu, pitiful, but not sympathetic.

The wretched will have something to hate.

Mrs. Shu fell to this step of the field, to a large extent, she made it herself.

In the first month, they were busy visiting relatives, and the relatives of Yingfang's family were either close at hand, or far away in Haicheng and Kyoto. Therefore, by the fifth or sixth day of the new year, there was basically nothing to do, and a few people in my family ate and drank.

It's cold, and you can't lift your energy when you go out, build the Great Wall around the charcoal basin, without Xiao Li and Xiao Er, they are either three missing one, or four missing two. There is always someone to play with the triplets.

Jiang Xinrou proposed: "It's better to go to the county seat." I heard that this year, the county cultural center held a lantern riddle guessing activity. I heard people who went to the county yesterday to visit relatives say that they guessed ten lantern riddles and won a piece of laundry soap, a towel for twenty prizes, and an enamel cup for thirty prizes...... The 100 lantern riddles that hung out were all guessed correctly, and it was said that the radio was awarded. ”

It's not about the prizes, it's about the participation. It hasn't been this lively in years.

This proposal was unanimously agreed.

Lantern Festival riddles start on the tenth day of the first month and end on the day of the Lantern Festival. During this period, 100 lantern riddles are released every day. You can participate for just one day or every day. As long as you have the ability.

The old man always has an inexplicable enthusiasm for the game, and he is gearing up to say that he must guess a hundred and come back.

"Xiao Li got married, and I added him a radio as a bride price. ”

Xiao Sanye focused on demolishing his father's platform for a hundred years: "It's okay, Xiao Li doesn't pick." He couldn't get the radio, and the laundry soap came back, and he was happy. ”

“……”

When it comes to going to the county, there is no happiest person than triplets. And since the old man is going to guess the lantern riddle, he has designated to live in the county for a few days.

So, the three little guys were very familiar with packing a bag of things, snacks, candy, and a stationery box containing pencils, erasers, and wooden rulers.

The warm little schoolbag is also stuffed with a rag doll that can't sleep at night if you don't hug it, making the small schoolbag bulging. Everyone couldn't help but be happy when they saw it.

The schoolbag is a drop-in car for the children at the end of the year when they get new clothes for the New Year. Thinking about the age of seven, it's not yet old enough to go to school, but preschool can be read.

The preschool at Union Primary School was opened the year before. This is also thanks to Xiang Rongxin's luck.

One time I went to a meeting in the county, and I happened to sit next to the principal of a well-known elementary school in the county, and then I learned that some children in the county left their parents and left home to go to school in a few months.

Of course it's a nursery. There is also a nursery class after the end. The nursery is for infants and toddlers who need the help of an adult to eat, drink, and Lazar. In the nursery class, children are taught to sing, dance, draw, and count.

The last year of the nursery class, which is the year of the transition to primary school, is also called preschool, which is called preschool, in order to allow children to adapt to primary school life in advance.

The secretary listened to it in a fog, and after coming back, he pondered it carefully, and felt that there was no need for educational institutions such as nurseries and nursery classes to be opened in the countryside for the time being, of course, mainly because there was no teacher to teach them. But preschool can try.

This is not every year when new students in primary school enroll, but always have to jump for a month or two. Either this child is afraid of crying, or the child is naughty and mischievous in class, undisciplined...... In the final analysis, these babies do not have the consciousness of primary school students. How do you make them conscious? That's preschool.

Preschool does not teach children to write and arithmetic, mainly to let children adapt to school time, classroom discipline, class content is generally to listen to stories, tell stories, ideological and moral education, so there can be no table, as for the stool, the children who come to school to bring a bench on the line.

Therefore, after asking the secretary of the Yanjiang Commune, it was decided to open an additional preschool class in the United Primary School, so that all children who will go to school next year can come, and the tuition fee is half less than that of the first-year freshmen. Fewer people is a class, and more people are also a class. Everyone squeezed one bench at a time. Forty minutes of class requires you to sit upright with your back straight and your hands on your legs.

In this way, no one at home can watch the child, but it saves trouble and sends the bear child to school a year in advance.

But there are also financially constrained people who would rather take their children to the field every day, let them catch frogs and dig earthworms, as long as they don't lose them, and they don't want to pay for this new tuition fee at all.

They don't give out textbooks or teach classroom knowledge, and they still collect money! They collect money just so that they can listen to and tell stories? After they finish drawing, singing, and playing with balls? Isn't this a waste of money? They don't take these exams in the future.

The women with long hair and short knowledge muttered behind their backs, and when you heard that you would not go, I would not go. As a result, after two years, the preschool is still half-dead.

However, Xiang Rongxin's original intention was to let the children adapt to primary school life in advance, not to earn this money.

Seriously, the commune runs a primary school, and a large part of it has to be subsidized at public expense. Where to make money. But the members don't think so, and always feel that the commune somehow set up a preschool to come out, just to make them pay more.

The parents' ideological work can't be done, and the secretary can't do it. You can't tie up other people's children and force them to go to preschool, right? So much so that after two years, there are still only seven or eight students in a class, and there are not even ten students.

Yingfang's family has always attached great importance to the education of children.

Not to mention that she herself is from ancient times, the female baby was not qualified to go to school in that era, and the male baby had no chance if the family was poor. Studying is a big expense. How can it be as good as this era, the school is open in front of the house, and the tuition fee is not expensive, the key is that all three babies can go to school, regardless of gender, regardless of whether they are high or low.

Coupled with the support of his family, the old man even threatened to train all triplets to become college students. Ying Fangyi was happy and sewed the three babies' small schoolbags in advance.

On the day of the pig killing in the commune a few years ago, I found an opportunity to mention to the secretary that I wanted to send my triplets to preschool, and the secretary replied happily. I came back and prepared stationery for the baby. The small chair to be brought to school is tied with the matching chair cushion. In short, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The triplets also seem to have a great interest in going to school. On the first day of the arrival of the new school bag, the three little ones ate and carried it on their backs, sleeping, and playing during the day. On the first day of the iron stationery box, I walked out in my arms rarely, as if I was afraid that others would not see it.

This time she went to the county seat, Yingfang thought about it, if the acquisition station opened, she would see if there were any villain books suitable for children at this age, and give them more to come back. There are also first-grade Chinese and math books, which are also retrieved, and it is better for them to flip through them by themselves.
