Chapter Forty-Eight: Thoughts
Qin Xiaoyu looked at Feng Yuzhen in a daze, now it's the eighties, how could she get married so early?
Feng Yuzhen didn't look at Qin Xiaoyu anymore, lowered her head and tied the tomato stand, and said without stopping: "Like your sister, if you can't go to school this year, you should get married next year, saying that you are still young, in the blink of an eye, you have all grown up, and my mother doesn't mean anything else when she says this, I just want you to have more eyes, don't let people deceive."

Qin Xiaoyu nodded while helping to hand the cloth to Feng Yuzhen, about love and marriage, she has no time to think about now, she has only one goal, which is to earn money and save money.
Feng Yuzhen tied the tomato rack, and by the way, broke the extra branches on the top of the tomatoes, and said in a broken voice: "I don't know what to be busy with this day, just this big red horse is making trouble, and it is too late to set up a frame for persimmons, and how many things have been delayed." If this big red horse can't be sold in a few days, in the winter, it will be slaughtered and made into smoked horse meat and horse intestines to sell, and it can be sold for some money, or a lot of forage in winter, and it is better to raise two sheep than to raise it. ”
When Qin Xiaoyu heard that he was going to slaughter the big red horse, he was worried, looking at the big red horse with his head down and eating forage, if he couldn't understand what it said, he would be killed if he was killed, but now he can understand its language, and then die alive in front of his eyes, he always feels a little cruel.
Feng Yuzhen finished nagging the big red horse, and began to talk to Qin Lang again: "And your brother, if you can't be a soldier this year, you have to ask someone to find an errand to do, you can't live in our small village for the rest of your life, you and I have no choice, but I don't want you to make a living in this mud in the future, so ah, Xiaoyu, you still have to spend more time on studying, now that the policy is good, you must go to school if you can, and you will be a scientist in the future......"
When Feng Yuzhen said this, she suddenly stopped talking, bent down and pulled out the weeds on the tomato ridge, and the hand pulling the weeds was like venting, digging hard, anxious and fast!
Qin Xiaoyu didn't understand what was wrong with Feng Yuzhen, but she felt that what Feng Yuzhen said was very right, she studied her current geographical location from the map at the back of the classroom, and reading was really the only way out.
"Mom, don't worry, I will study hard and honor you and my dad in the future. Qin Xiaoyu firmly promised.
Feng Yuzhen straightened her waist, looked at Qin Xiaoyu lovingly, and said, "As long as you can live well, your father and I will rest assured, and I don't want to be able to eat and drink spicy food with you in the future." ”
Qin Xiaoyu's guilt aggravated a few points, this family is so good to herself, but she plays her own little Jiujiu every day.
Feng Yuzhen took the guilt on Qin Xiaoyu's face as an embarrassment, and said with a smile: "As long as you do your best, even if you can't pass the exam, it's okay, you and your sister go to the village to be a substitute teacher, it's always okay." ”
Qin Xiaoyu nodded mechanically, her selfishness has always been tortured by this kindness recently, and she couldn't help but lower her head, she had too many secrets on her, so she could only be more careful.
Seeing that the summer vacation was coming, Qin Xiaoyu was also anxious, she mentioned to Qin Lang about picking up antlers in the mountains, but she didn't expect Qin Lang to shake his head again and again: "No, no, Dad said that this kind of money can't be earned." ”
Qin Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: "Aren't we like them, sneaking across the border to pick up antlers, let's pick them up in the deep mountains and old forests, why can't we?"
Qin Lang still shook his head insistently: "No, if you do this, Dad will definitely get angry." ”
Qin Xiaoyu didn't understand at all, it didn't work like this, could he be so poor?
didn't say anything about Qin Lang, Qin Xiaoyu decided to go by herself, but this time she didn't know how to tell her family that she was going to leave home for a few days.
The Ma family has been living in clouds every day these days.
Ma Biao gets angry when he looks at Ma Juan every day, although the people in the village don't know, but they have a great ability to catch the wind and catch shadows out of nothing, several women sit together, and they can pull out a complete story by pulling and pulling at will.
Ma Biao originally planned to let Ma Juan drop out of school, what is the use of this school? Why didn't he learn, and he did such a shameful thing, and he felt that he suddenly didn't go to school, but it confirmed the gossip in the village, so he could only let Ma Juan continue to go to school.
Ma Biao squinted and made his own calculations, why should his daughter get married, now the one who can hold it in the village is the Qin family, doesn't Qin Lang want to be a soldier? When the time comes, he has to take the approval slip from him to sign, he can get Qin Lang a button, let him get engaged to Ma Juan, and when the demobilization comes back, the two will get married.
Ma Juan didn't know anything about Ma Biao's wishful thinking, and she lived carefully every day, completely losing her previous pride, and she didn't dare to be angry when she ate.
Zhang Yuelian was angry and distressed about this girl, looking at Ma Juan's face that was losing weight day by day, she couldn't help but say to Ma Biao: "His father, don't you want to slaughter a chicken to make up for Juanzi, what do you see how thin this child has become?"
"What's the matter? This is all done by herself, it's good that I didn't drive her out, and you don't want to get used to her in the future, don't tear the cloth to make new clothes, who will dress up every day?" Ma Biao said with a drop of chopsticks.
Zhang Yuelian was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak anymore.
Ma Juan held the rice bowl, tears rolled in her eyes, and she was determined to do something to make Ma Biao no longer look down on her.
Ma Juan moved the same mind as Qin Xiaoyu, and crossed the border to dig medicinal herbs and carry antlers to make a lot of money, only by making money can Ma Biao be impressed by her, and she can straighten up in this family again.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he always thinks about some things very simply, and always feels that he is the luckiest one.
Summer comes later in the west, and the wheat matures more than half a month later than in the interior.
During the summer vacation, it was just in time to harvest the wheat.
Qin Xiaoyu doesn't know how to cut wheat, so he can only help boil water and choose vegetables at home to give Qin Xiaoxia a start.
In the morning and evening, there is moisture in the ground, and the wheat mang will not be too prickly, so Qin Zhenhua and Feng Yuzhen took Qin Lang to cut wheat before dawn, and let the Qin Xiaoxia sisters send it directly to the field for breakfast.
Qin Xiaoxia got up early in the morning to heat up the mixed noodles steamed buns, fried a vegetarian fried cabbage, boiled a large pot of tea, put the vegetables and steamed buns in the basket, carried the tea with a flat pole, and carried the basket to the field to deliver food, and did not forget to explain to Qin Xiaoyu when leaving:
"Xiaoyu, you boil two more pots of water in the thermos in a while, parents and they come back to wash, pick a few more eggplants, and I will come back at noon to make eggplant burritos to eat." ”
Qin Xiaoyu nodded in response: "I know, sister, you slow down on the road." ”
"Well, I'm not coming back, don't go out and run around, or I won't be able to enter the door when I come back. After Qin Xiaoxia finished instructing, she left with her burden.
