The aunt of the Xu family came to make trouble, and with the intervention of the village chief of Shenjiawa Village and the elders of the three villages, the uncle of the big hat police officer of the town police station did not alarm the uncle of the big hat police station in the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, the Xu family's aunt and family were forced to sign the guarantee, promising that they would not trouble the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters in the future.
Of course, he also took out ten yuan as a medical fee to pay Zhao Qingshan, nutrition expenses, and mental damage expenses.
Faced with such a result, Zhao Qingru's brothers and sisters, especially Zhao Qingshan, were not satisfied. What is this? What do you think of him and his precious sister? Just because he saw it, he broke into the house with people, beat and killed them, and then robbed them. What is the difference between this and those bandit bullies before liberation?
On the contrary, Zhao Qingru grabbed his brother, taking advantage of the prestige of Shenjiawa Village, the village chief and the elders of the three villages who spoke well, and asked the seven members of the Xu family's aunt and family to sign the guarantee, and also took the opportunity to ask the village committee to write a guarantee with the clan elders. He promised that in the future, when the two brothers and sisters needed to move their hukou out of Shenjiawa Village one day, they would not delay it under any excuse.
"This little girl is clever and clever. "As the patriarch of Xiawa Village, Shen Liyang also has to sign this guarantee. One night afterwards, when Shen Liyang was chatting with his daughter-in-law, just before going to bed, he sighed with emotion. Liyang's daughter-in-law was already in a daze between falling asleep and not falling asleep, and at first she only thought it was her own auditory hallucination, and when she wanted to ask her man, Shen Liyang, who was sleeping on the side, was already snoring.
Liyang's daughter-in-law still remembers the scene of that day clearly until many years later. It was an early spring morning, the temperature was a little low, and the morning light shone on the delicate little face that was still a little baby fat, and the slender little body stood straight, as if it was covered with a layer of pale golden light. The momentum that was revealed, which was high up and would never allow others to trample on ****, was clearly imprinted in the mind of Liyang's daughter-in-law for a long time.
After sending away the old man Shen Jiawa Village and the elders of the three villages, Zhao Qingshan's mood did not become happy because of the other guarantee he got according to the request of his precious sister, and his face became more and more gloomy.
"Brother, you quickly take off your shirt, and I'll use safflower oil to help you rub away the bruises. Zhao Qingru didn't see the gloomy face of his eldest brother, and turned around and took out a bottle of unbranded safflower oil from his room.
"Oh, I'll do it myself. Zhao Qingshan didn't dare to let his precious sister help rub the wound, and after reaching out to take the glass bottle, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance before he opened it, "Ru'er, where did this come from." ”
"Bought. ”
"Then there's not even a label. ”
"Do you like to use it!" Zhao Qingru naturally couldn't explain to his eldest brother, the bottle in his hand came from the future in a few decades, and it was also made by authentic Xiangjiang.
After sending Zhao Qingshan back to the house, Zhao Qingru went to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Grandma Qian was sitting on the stove wiping her tears, and when she saw Zhao Qingru walking into the kitchen, she immediately wiped away the tears on her face.
"Grandma Qian, why are you crying. ”
"Ru'er girl, the old woman has nothing to do, but I feel sorry for you. This man...... How can you be so unreasonable? "Grandma Qian was pushed into the house by Zhao Qingru's brothers and sisters early in the morning and did not appear in the yard. But there is a window in the house, and what happened after the Xu family's aunt rushed into the yard with her daughter and son-in-law, Grandma Qian can be said to see it clearly. Even in a trance, it made Grandma Qian have an illusion, thinking that when she saw it, more than a dozen people wearing green coats and red sleeves in the crooks of their arms rushed in like this, and smashed them all over the house without asking questions......
"It's just 'the predecessors accumulate virtue and do good, and the descendants bully others'. Zhao Qingru chuckled, seeing that Grandma Qian's mood was obviously wrong, she hurriedly comforted, "Grandma Qian, it's really fine." You see, after this incident, the Xu family's aunt and the whole family should not dare to beat our brother and sister casually (at least on the surface). Also, with this incident, I can still kill chickens and monkeys. The most important thing is that I got a second guarantee with my brother, so I won't have to worry about that guy. ”
"That guy?" Grandma Qian thought for a moment, and then said, "Ru'er girl, do you mean Shen Feng, the great-grandson of Old Lady Shen?"
Seeing Zhao Qingru nodding with a smile, Grandma Qian was also relieved.
"No wonder, the old woman looked at that old lady Shen and looked at Ru'er, your eyes are not quite right. Just now, I was squeezed into the opposite words, and I didn't want to sign the guarantee and put my fingerprint. If it weren't for the old lady crying there, you wouldn't have been able to get the guarantee letter. ”
"yes. Perhaps this is what the older generation often said, 'suffering is a blessing'. Eat a little loss on the surface, and make a big profit in secret. "Who let the Xu family's aunt's father-in-law have a life-saving grace for the entire Shenjiawa Village. On weekdays, the aunt of the Xu family relied on this favor to run rampant and domineering in Shenjiawa Village, not without causing complaints from the villagers of Shenjiawa Village, but for the sake of the older generation still being alive, they just endured it.
After today's incident, Zhao Qingru didn't know and didn't want to know if the village chief of Shenjiawa Village and the three village elders could continue to maintain it. However, there is one thing that Zhao Qingru understands very well in his heart, quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change, and this private favor can never replace national law. When that day really comes, it doesn't matter if his aunt of the Xu family is an anti-Japanese hero, whether he saved the entire Shenjiawa Village, how to punish it, and how to punish it!
As for her, including her eldest brother and Grandma Qian, before leaving Shenjiawa Village, she just had to make do to maintain the apparent peace. Of course, if she is really in a hurry, she is not easy to mess with.
The Xu family's aunt and family made such a fuss, and this meal was unexpectedly delayed by more than an hour. Zhao Qingru, who was not affected too much, discussed it with Grandma Qian and decided to eat pumpkin shredded vegetable cake.
Pumpkin is an old pumpkin grown in their own backyard, soft and glutinous and sweet, after shaving into fine shreds with a planer, add a very fine Chinese cabbage root, a small spoon of flour, sweet potato flour and corn flour, knock an egg, add sugar and salt to taste, add water to mix into rice cereal. Finally, bake a pancake on a kerosene stove over low heat.
Pumpkin shredded vegetable cake with two rice porridge is both nutritious and full.
Zhao Qingru's movements are not slow, and Grandma Qian is also a good hand at housework. After a while, not only the two-rice porridge was boiled, but even a dozen cakes were neatly placed on the table. The smell in the kitchen is not too good, but it is better to be warm, and it can be regarded as lazy, since Tian Xue moved out of the house yesterday, Zhao Qingru and Grandma Qian have eaten in the small room connected to the kitchen.
"Brother, it's time to eat. ”
"Hey, here we are. Zhao Qingshan entered the kitchen with a strong smell of safflower oil. As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zhao Qingshan shouted: "Ru'er, I was in the house just now, why is it wrong the more I think about it?"
"I thought it would take a while for you to find out, brother. Zhao Qingru smiled, turned around and brought a large bowl of two-rice porridge to his eldest brother, "This time, if no one is behind the scenes to pick up the Xu family's aunt, I won't believe it." ”
"Ru'er, what do you mean that Zhao Xiaohua?!, it's against her!" Zhao Qingshan slammed the table hard, and the whole square table trembled, "It seems that that girl can't clean up if she doesn't clean up." ”
"Brother, you calm down first. This is not necessarily the flower that did it. A faint thought flashed through Zhao Qingru's mind, because it disappeared so quickly that it couldn't be caught at the first time. Intuition told Zhao Qingru that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Xiaohua, but she didn't do it. There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling.
"Anyway, it's always right to pay attention in the future. Grandma Qian scooped out a bowl of soybean meat sauce that had been fried in advance, and took out the cucumbers that had been pickled before, cut them into small pieces and put them on a small plate for the meal.
"Hmm. ”
"Grandma Qian, eat, brother, eat. ”
Although the lunar calendar is only sixteenth, it is already a sting according to the temperament, March 5th. After breakfast, the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters should prepare for spring ploughing. Shenjiawa Village is located in a mountainous area, because the climate actually grows two crops of rice. Therefore, in March of the lunar calendar, the seedlings must be planted almost before May Day, otherwise there will be seasonal problems with late rice.
After the sting, there are significantly more things to do. For example, ploughing, hoeing, topdressing, and watering during menstrual time. When the rape flowers bloom in the field, they have to tidy up the ditches and remove weeds. There used to be a large tea plantation in the mountain behind Shenjiawa Village, but in order to increase grain production, more than half of the old tea trees were cut down. This short-sighted approach has proven to not only destroy long-term livelihoods, but most importantly, destroy the entire ecosystem.
Just a few years before Zhao Qingshan went up the mountain and went to the countryside to come to Shenjiawa Village to become an educated youth, heavy rain fell for several days, and the water and soil on the back mountain were lost in a large area, and even caused a landslide. This aroused the vigilance of the villagers of Shenjiawa Village, and thanks to good luck, there were no casualties.
After the incident, Shenjiawa Village had to quickly return farmland to forest and replant many tea trees. All in all, this year is the first year that the newly planted tea trees can barely pick tea leaves.
"Little Ru. "The matter of the Xu family's aunt making trouble has not spread at this time, and Aunt Lan habitually takes the initiative to greet Zhao Qingru.
"Aunt Lan is good. ”
"Good, good. Aunt Lan, who already "knew" Lu Yingchun's whereabouts from her two daughters, saw that Zhao Qingru was alone, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, "Xiao Ru, why did this Yingchun girl just leave." ”
"When it happens, no one wants it. Zhao Qingru looked around and found that Xu was a little late to watch the open-air movie last night, and when it was almost time to go to work, this person was still standing in twos and threes, and many of them didn't even see the figures.
"Aunt Lan, this person ...... today"
"Hey, don't mention it, it's like this every year. Xiao Ru, look at it. In another two hours, when the sun rises high, this person may not be able to be together. Aunt Lan was obviously used to seeing the situation in front of her, and waved her hand indifferently. According to Aunt Lan's meaning, if it weren't for the fact that the family was still counting on this bit of work, plus staying in the family that had not yet been separated, she would inevitably have to do more housework, and she wouldn't even want to come over to join in the fun.
Zhao Qingru smiled. What can Xiaobai, a novice who is still getting subsidized food and has not been a knowledgeable youth for half a year when she goes to the mountains and the countryside. Accusing this of being a big pot of rice? And then coming up with a way to distribute the production to the households according to work? Someone has to listen to it. Not to mention, less than three hours ago, she and her eldest brother offended the old lady Shen with the highest ranking in Shenjiawa Village because of the second guarantee. Even the good-natured village chief Shen Lao Man, looking at her, her eyes were full of inquiry and displeasure. That is, Uncle Li Yang, his attitude has not changed much.
So, it's better to keep to yourself.
"The village chief is here. The sharp-eyed Zhao Qingru reminded Aunt Lan in a whisper.
Although in advance, the Zhao Qingru brothers and sisters had been mentally prepared, they were still slightly affected by Old Man Shen's changed attitude. Zhao Qingshan was assigned to do the most tiring and dirtiest work, digging up manure to the composting area, and then transporting the previously composted manure to the field.
As for Zhao Qingru, he was asked to take care of the acres of rape flowers and comb the weeds in the vegetable field. Originally, there were three people in charge of the job. Now it's all handed over to Zhao Qingru alone. Weeding seems to be easy, but in fact, you have to squat there all the time, and after a long time, it is naturally not much easier than when you grabbed it.
"Village chief, how can you let Xiao Ru do this job alone. Wasn't it all three people in charge before? Aunt Tao, who was outspoken on the side, couldn't help but speak.
Don't look at Zhao Qingru has been coming to Shenjiawa Village for several months, because she has been staying at home most of the time and doesn't move around the village much. That is, Aunt Lan is slightly more familiar, and the other three aunts and six mothers-in-law basically don't know each other.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingru is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, and Zhao Qingru remembers Aunt Tao's kindness in his heart. Aunt Tao was far from saying it casually, and she didn't expect to win Zhao Qingru's favor like this, and what Aunt Tao didn't expect was that within a few months, this kindness would be repaid.
Of course, at this time, Aunt Tao only saw Zhao Qingru's slight bow out of politeness.
"Santao's family, it's not that there are not enough people. Old man Shen raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Qingru, "If the little girl has the ability, she can find someone to help." In short, Zhao Qingru is responsible for the weeding of those few acres of vegetable fields. ”
"How much is the work? I am responsible for the work of three people, is it also three times the work?!" Zhao Qingru suddenly felt that he had lost face anyway, if he was like glutinous rice balls again, it was estimated that it would not take a few days to be treated as a soft persimmon, and anyone could come up and pinch it. Old man Shen may not want to do this, but there is an uncle above, Old Lady Shen. It is estimated that in order to make her compliant, I am afraid that there will be more and more such difficulties in the future.
Although the old saying always says, "take a step back and open the sky". But if you blindly retreat, I am afraid that you will only retreat and there will be no retreat.
"Threefold? I said, little girl, you're not afraid of flashing your tongue. On the side, a middle-aged uncle in his early forties grinned and joked, wearing a patched torn jacket, and the two cuffs were so black that they couldn't see the original color. The middle-aged uncle didn't feel that there was any big problem at all, and it seemed that everyone else was similar to him in his eyes.
Maybe it's because everyone is almost so poor, and being poor is a thing to be proud of, which breeds a somewhat distorted mentality.
It seems that we have really forgotten the bloody lesson that "backwardness and poverty mean being beaten and bullied".
"Eight cents! How many centimeters do you want?!" Old man Shen glanced at Zhao Qingru angrily, and then turned around and went to the other side to assign work.
"Aunt Lan, you said that if I give three times the work and ask someone to help me clear all the weeds in those acres of vegetable fields, will anyone be willing to undertake this work?" Zhao Qingru looked at the back of Old Man Shen who was gradually walking away, and said unhurriedly.
"What? three times?!" Aunt Lan's eyes widened and she looked at Zhao Qingru in surprise. Xu realized that she was speaking too loudly, and Aunt Lan quickly covered her mouth.
"Xiao Ru, you are crazy. ”
"Didn't the village chief say that. If I have the ability to find someone to help with the work. I can't let people work for nothing. Zhao Qingru smiled.
"This, this is a capitalist, a capitalist and a corrupt ......" Not far from Zhao Qingru, a young man who looked at him was about twenty years old and pointed at Zhao Qingru and stumbled and accused.
"Aunt Lan, who is this person. "Not to mention that Zhao Qingru has a slight face blindness, even if she doesn't, let me ask her a housegirl who doesn't go out on weekdays, who can she know? That is, before, when the house was built, the villagers were invited to come to the house for a meal, and only then did I know a few more people.
"Like Xiao Ru, you seem to be a young man who came a year earlier than your brother. usually speaks a little stammering, as if his name is Yang Jie. ”
"Okay, Yang stammered, listen to you, the daylily is cold. The young man beside Yang Jie spoke almost at the same time as Aunt Lan, "Hey, Sister Qingshan, right?" The triple work you just said ......"
"Huh?"
"Really?!"
"You don't believe it?!" Zhao Qingru asked rhetorically. As he spoke, Zhao Qingru looked at the boy who had just stopped Yang Jie from speaking. has a small head similar to that of his eldest brother, not tall or short, with a Chinese face, with a bit of yellow muscle thinness.
Speaking of which, people in this period were more or less malnourished and had a dull complexion. Even her, if she hadn't been carefully recuperating openly and secretly in the past few months, it is estimated that she would not be in good health.
"I took care of the weeding work in those acres of vegetable garden. ”
"The surname is Qian, you really want money crazy!"
"Money, money, money, you, you......"
"Qian Dongfang, what should you do with the work you have now?" Several educated youths who were with Qian Dongfang, for fear that Qian Dongfang's work would fall on them, reacted strongly one by one.
On the contrary, Qian Dongfang walked straight to Zhao Qingru, pointed to the ridge on the left, and said, "Let's go." The vegetable garden is over there. ”
Zhao Qingru led the kettle and small bamboo basket, bowed her head and followed Qian Dongfang's steps.
"You've got a good brain. Halfway through, Zhao Qingru smiled and praised Qian Dongfang, who was walking in front.
Educated youths work no better than those who were born and raised in the villagers, and sometimes even a child about ten years old. Therefore, the work in the field, that is, the division of labor in seven or eight points, rarely reaches ten points. For newcomers like Zhao Qingru, most of them are six points, and a little better is eight points. Triple the work, three hundred and eighty-twenty-four, even if it offsets ten points, there are fourteen points left.
Of course, that's not how the accounts are calculated.
"I heard that you and your brother eat well every day?" Qian Dongfang suddenly glanced back at Zhao Qingru.
"Who did you listen to?" Zhao Qingru had not dealt with the old intellectuals who lived in the warehouse of the barn before. However, because his eldest brother was once calculated by these people and had to move out, he would rather move to the dilapidated family temple than squeeze with those individuals. Zhao Qingru didn't really want to have too much contact with these people.
"You don't care who I listen to. Just don't go back and pay the bills. Obviously, Qian Dongfang also saw Zhao Qingru's concerns about him.
Qian Dongfang didn't want to take advantage of anything, especially after Zhao Qingshan moved out of the warehouse in the grain field before, although he didn't take advantage of Zhao Qingshan in this matter, it was also a fact that Zhao Qingshan was in a situation at that time. Qian Dongfang is just guarding himself and trying not to let himself suffer.
But there are many people, and there are many rights and wrongs. Sometimes it's not like you can do what you want. In the first year, it was better to have the subsidized grain, but after the second year without the subsidized grain, the rations for the whole year were really not enough. That's it, I have to be rubbed by those guys who are lazy and lazy, and who are full of benevolence and morality all day long.
Nima, can benevolence, righteousness and morality be eaten, and can he not be hungry?!
"As long as you can do eight points. I'll go back and pay you three times the work!" Zhao Qingru retorted unceremoniously.
"Okay!" Qian Dongfang responded very happily.
"By the way, do you want money or food?"
"Whatever, preferably food. Qian Dongfang thought about it and felt that although the money was good, he felt that the food was better. The most important point is that after a while, it will be a time when there will be no green and yellow, and it will be more confident to have food in hand.
Qian Dongfang's hands and feet are quite neat, and it can be seen that he has done a lot of farm work in the past two years, and his skill proficiency has obviously improved. This is much stronger than Zhao Qingru, a little white who can only steal vegetables in the computer.
"Can you still find someone?" Of course, Zhao Qingru, who was idle on the side, asked Qian Dongfang while cleaning up the newly grown weeds.
"You want someone to help your big brother?"
"Hmm. ”
"Triple as well?"
"That's fine. ”
"Little girl, you are a rotten capitalist idea. Qian Dongfang suddenly said this.
"What else?"
yes, what else would you do? Someone has to do the farm work. But Qian Dongfang is not the first year to be an educated youth in Shenjiawa Village. Not to mention, this Zhao Qingshan has been very popular with the old man Shen since he came to Shenjiawa Village in the first year because of his hard work. Of course, the main reason for this is that there is a strong contrast, which makes Zhao Qingshan different among these educated youths.
Zhao Qingshan won the favor of the villagers of Shenjiawa Village, and when Old Man Shen arranged work, most of the time he would not arrange dirty and tiring work like today for Zhao Qingshan. Now, the brother and sister have both arranged for the dirty work. No one is a fool.
Qian Dongfang didn't know if his actions would be affected, but he tightened his belt and starved his belly. The main thing......
Qian Dongfang couldn't help but think of the scene when he saw Zhao Qingru's brother and sister in the township a few years ago when they saw Zhao's mother leave, and they were sitting in a jeep. (To be continued.) )
