Seeing that school is about to start, Shandan can't let go of his mother's illness in his heart, and he can't rest assured about the life of his family. But school could not be delayed, and she knew that her reading was the most important part of her mother's ideals.

At home, Shandan teaches his sister to do some simple housework, and her mother can also do some livelihood lightly, and her sister is also okay with her helping.

It's just that the autumn harvest has been affected, the weather is immediately frozen, the wheat has not been pulled, the buckwheat has not been harvested, and the potatoes are still in the ground...... Tie Dan'er's mother was very anxious.

Later, Tie Dan'er's five uncles came to Tie Dan'er's house to help under the leadership of Tie Dan'er's grandmother. The five young men were like wolves and tigers, black and pressed, and in three days they helped Tie Dan'er's family to harvest wheat and buckwheat.

All that remains is to bring the harvested crops home, and just when they are pulling them, Tie Dan'er's grandmother's mother's house has made a fuss again.

In the spring, when Tie Dan'er's mother went on a blind date for Tie Dan'er, an honest shepherd in the village came to the door with six and a half pounds, and he squatted in front of Tie Dan'er's water urn, and muttered: "Daughter-in-law still has to go outside to find it?"

Tie Dan'er's mother noticed that this honest man might be talking about her daughter. It's just that his daughter Fan'e is still young! Tie Dan'er is twenty, and his daughter may only be sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although it is said that the rural marriage is early, it is about 20 years old. The four-year-old gap is not big, but it will take two years to get married.

Tie Dan'er's mother calculated in her heart: if you wait for more than two years, it will cost a few hundred yuan more for food and clothing, and it may cost six or seven thousand yuan plus the bride price and other expenses. It costs more money to marry a daughter-in-law in this way.

The girl is a good girl, tall and big, and she is a good hand at work. The appearance is okay, not ugly. I asked Tie Dan'er, but Tie Dan'er didn't say no, and didn't say yes or no, just told his mother to watch it.

Tie Dan'er's mother pondered: Find someone to find out the amount of the bride price first, and then make a plan.

I found a respected old man in the village, the seventh master, took cigarettes and alcohol to the door and asked six and a half catties, the seventh master has always been clean and neat when he speaks, saying one is one and two is two, never dragging mud and water, changing orders day and night.

The seventh master went to inquire and came back, and roughly calculated that it would take six thousand eight hundred yuan. This number was expected by Tie Dan'er's mother, she once again asked Tie Dan'er and her relatives for their opinions, and everyone agreed, thinking that the child was still young and couldn't see any bad temperament, and besides, it was her family's words and deeds. The adults are honest people, and the outsiders have no support, and they are in a hurry to marry their daughters because their sons have found a daughter-in-law, and they can't get the bride price money, and there is nothing bad about anything else. Everyone's total: It seems that it is a good marriage.

So, the seventh master took a good cigarette and a good wine to the door to propose.

One and a half pounds into the door. The seventh master threw his hand to congratulate: "This morning, the magpie is chirping, and I am very happy!" Six and a half catties hurriedly put down the leg of mutton cigarette pouch and bowed back the salute: "Joy and joy!"

Then he explained the requirements of his mother's family one by one: 3,000 bride price, 1,000 clothes and 1,000 money, 1,000 gold and silver jewelry, 1,000 travel, 500 for eating and drinking all year round, 300 for the money, and 500 for the rest. Calculated according to the marriage after two years: eight thousand eight.

The old seventh master's beard stood up all of a sudden.

"That's not good, I asked you last time, what you said is different from today's! Why is there an extra 2,000? I tell people that there are a lot of matchmakers, and I always say the same. You can't run around like this, you can't add so many people. In this way, you look at the big package: according to the six thousand eight you said last time, you first add up the total, and I will reply to others. That's all for now, and I'll go back and talk. ”

The old seventh master jumped off the ground, lifted the heel of his shoes, took the cigarettes and wine he brought, and walked out of the six-and-a-half-pound door without looking back. This is the typical character of the grassland people, who are upright and upright, and they have to smash a pit if they spit on the ground.

came back to discuss with Tie Dan'er's family, and Tie Dan'er's mother said: "We accept six thousand eight, and we will have to wait two years before we can get married, so forget about it." Tie Dan'er was noncommittal.

After all these years of frugality and hard work, Tie Dan'er's family is one of the best families in the village. It's just that Tie Dan'er's mother is also famous for picking the door, and some people's daughters dare not marry Tie Dan'er, for fear of being angry with a powerful mother-in-law.

In fact, Tie Dan'er's mother is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, who is unforgiving and will never let go if she can't make sense. But she is enthusiastic, and the big and small things in the village - mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, whose farmer is too busy to come, whose family is short of rice and noodles...... are willing to come to Tie Dan'er Mother for help.

The next day, six and a half catties went to the seventh master to agree to the big package: six thousand eight.

The old seventh master said: "Six thousand eight! You can remember: There is no such thing as adding fuel and vinegar to my place, don't let you say that the clothes are not enough, three hundred, and the day after tomorrow to catch up with the market to ask for five hundred, this is nothing! As for how you arrange six thousand eight, your family has the final say, even if you spend it, the girl runs bare-ass, as long as she is willing, we will not interfere." Even if you bring all of them back to your in-laws' house, we will never shirk. Okay, right?"

Six and a half pounds nodded yes.

In this way, I invited relatives from a village, because most of the people in a village are people from Shanxi who go to the west exit, and they are all relatives. There are very few outsiders, and almost all the people in the village gather at Tie Dan'er's house to drink wine and eat meat, so Tie Dan'er and Fan'e are engaged.

Shandan came home just in time for Friday, and when she heard that her brother was engaged, she stayed at her grandmother's house and didn't go home, she didn't like the scene of the noise, and she didn't like to join in the fun since she was a child. She never watched the Yangge team in the first month, let alone participated in it. Now that I am in junior high school, I have grown up, and when I go home, in addition to reading books, studying, and doing housework, I don't like to go out to join in the fun.

When she got home the next day, there was no food at all, which made her feel very aggrieved.

Shandan was very sad, she didn't have meat for two weeks, she thought her mother would leave her a little bit, but the wolf had more meat and less meat and her mother didn't leave her a little.

Mother expressed her anger that she didn't come back in time, my brother's engagement is a big deal, how can you, as a younger sister, participate and not participate?

Shandan is very aggrieved, she is still a child, why does she need to participate in such a big event?

In fact, in the eyes of her mother, Shandan who went to junior high school is already a literate person, and Shandan has always had excellent grades, which has made her feel very honored, and Shandan has not come back, she is a little disappointed.

After getting engaged, Tie Daner not only had to be busy with the farm work at home, but also had to help with the farm work of his grandmother's mother's family, and he had a four-wheeled car at home, and Tie Dan'er had to help with a lot of farm work at his grandmother's mother's house.

This time, it was because Tie Dan'er asked a few uncles to help and wanted to take back the crops quickly and pull a piece for his grandmother's mother's family (forget jì explanation: Tall is the wheat that has been harvested, and it is bundled into wheat bundles one by one. The matter was delayed for two days, and the eldest brother-in-law was not happy, shouting that Tie Dan'er didn't need to come to help.

Tie Dan'er's mother was very distressed, and hurriedly called Tie Dan'er to help.

pulled back the size of his grandmother, and the brother-in-law was unhappy again. Originally, it was good to ask the two families to partner to pull a person, but the rest of the Tie Dan'er family was left, and the bright pick didn't do it.

Tie Dan'er's face turned blue with anger, and he sat on the threshold and said, "Pull it down, grandpa won't serve you anymore......"

Tie Dan'er's mother hurriedly stopped her son's words: "Don't talk angry, you have to find a way when you encounter something, the living can't suffocate urine!"

Shandan and his parents discussed that he would help his brother to get a lot of people (load the wheat bales on a four-wheeled cart and load them on a wagon), and the brother would pick one to get in the car and drive. There is no other way, my father is still herding cattle for the people in the village and can't move my head, my mother is still sick and not well, and the relatives are very busy, so Tie Dan'er's mother had to ask Shandan to try it first.

So, Shandan and his brother drove to the wheat field. The elder brother picked up the wagons one by one, and Shandan put the heads on the top one by one, and soon a square cart was loaded.

Shandan sat on the high wheat wagon, although his little hands had been harvested and pulled the wheat in the autumn and the grinding of the wheat ears and straw had cracked many openings, and when he touched the saw-like wheat mang, he would bleed and wanted to cry. But her heart was full of pride - it turned out that everyone agreed that such a difficult job as being a size would not be a problem for her.

She knows that everything lies in a brain, not brutal, the yard is in the overlap of layers of dislocation, and the center of gravity must be controlled in the center of the wagon, so that it will not fall. It seems that physics is still useful.

Just as she learned, the mutual transformation of inertia and potential kinetic energy can be used in life. Every time she pedals a bicycle up and down a hill, she thinks of the concept of inertia and kinetic energy transformation.
