2. Chapter 2
"Goo-goo-goo-goo!!"
"Woo Woo Woo !!"
The rhubarb and the little yellow double reed sang, Dai Jiao couldn't sleep at all, stared at the sky outside, black and black, the moon hung on the old round, and the stars flashed one by one.
Next door, Lin Mai had already gotten up, took a broom and began to sweep the floor. This task began when she married into the Dai family, and has been with her for more than ten years, getting up every morning when the chickens don't crow, sweeping the floor, and then making the family's breakfast.
After more than ten years of hard work, this woman who is not yet forty years old has wrinkles on her face, which can almost be described as a pinnacle. It's just that she has been busy for most of her life, and she hasn't saved any family money. Just like in the dry season a few years ago, the harvest was not good, and the grain sold was not enough, so Dai everyone could eat a round belly, but Dai Jiao's family was hungry and yellow-skinned.
Fang Ping, this woman is ruthless and smart, she is calculating how to squeeze blood from others. spared no effort to whip Dai Jiao's parents and these two hard-working old scalpers. It's happy to have such a mother, look at Dai Gen, no, people have changed their names in college, called Dai Zhiqiang, and he is alone in the family and went to high school and college. Now I can ask for a daughter-in-law in the city.
But it's not happy to have such an uncle, look at Dai Cheng, who was admitted to high school and couldn't be remembered by Fang Ping's words, he got up and went to the ground every day before dawn, and went out with Dai's father to do wood work every three or five times. There is also the original Dai Jiao, who is also a girl, Fang Pingsheng's Dai Xin is pampered, and when she is not as high as the stove, she has to help Lin Mai start cooking, and when she grows to sixteen, she will be sold to be the daughter-in-law of the famous second leper in the village.
If Dai Jiao didn't accept the memory of the original owner, she couldn't understand why people would practice themselves to such a point. He is not a fool who can't see what other people are doing.
When I have Dai Jiao's fifteen-year memory, okay, there are five big words running through it from beginning to end: suffering is blessing.
After eating too much, the whole family was stupid.
Don't blame others for bullying you, who made your brain lack a root. Dai Jiao thought so, but if she flipped through her memory, she couldn't blame the two of them for being too honest, blaming Fang Ping for being too fine, back and forth, she had to wonder if this eldest aunt had cultivated in the dream of the Red Mansion, and the conspiracy was simply invisible.
Thinking about it, Dai Jiao put on her clothes and walked around the wall twice, starved for a few days, and lay down for a long time, and her head was a little dizzy when she first walked around. But after all, she often works in the fields, and her foundation is not bad, and soon the dizziness passed, and she slowly ran around the big yard of her home twice. The body is the capital of the revolution, and since you have decided to work here, you have to take care of it.
Lin Mai was sweeping the floor, and smiled when she saw her stretching her legs while running. Dai Jiao didn't run long, took a towel from the room and went to the well to fetch water and wash her face. Summer hasn't passed yet, but the well water in the morning is still a cool part of the town.
grinning, Dai Jiao took the opportunity to look at her face in the unclear reflection in the basin. The little girl has not yet opened, a little baby fat, her skin is a dark yellow color of long-term malnutrition, and her eyes are black and bright. Overall, it's not eye-catching.
When the rooster crowed a second time, the family got up, and all of them began to wash their faces at the well with their sleepy eyes open. There are a total of eleven people in the family, two grandmothers and grandfathers, two sons and one daughter of Uncle Dai's family, and four members of Dai Jiao's family.
How many of these light steamed nests have to be steamed? Dai Jiao watched Lin Mai's laborious steamer, covered the lid, and plucked a small garlic sprout in her hand.
"The second one's family, steam an egg for the little baby today." Grandma Dai washed her face, remembered her little grandson who hadn't woken up yet, and told Lin Mai.
"Milk, you are eccentric, I want eggs too!" , Dai Xin was the latest to get up at home, and at this time he was smearing alabaster on his face. Her brother brought it back from the city, Fang Ping was reluctant to use it, and she was the only one in the family.
"Then steam two, and steam one for Si'er." It didn't take long for Grandma Dai to agree. The Dai family is not divided, and in terms of size, Dai Xin is the fourth.
The child who can scream has meat to eat, Dai Xin was pampered by Fang Ping since she was a child, and now the whole family is used to spoiling her. In the 80s, especially in the countryside, where patriarchy and strictness were severe, the status was not lower than that of Dai Cheng, the grandson.
"Mom, steam one for my brother too." Dai Jiao continued to peel the garlic seedlings in her hand, there are three men in the third generation of the family, but Dai Zhiqiang is in college, Fang Ping's youngest son is a treasure at home, and no one dares to let him work.
Dai Cheng is only seventeen or eighteen, not to mention the weight of life every day, and half of the children are also lacking nutrition at this time?
Unexpectedly, such a sentence came out of Dai Jiao's mouth, Lin Mai was taking eggs in the chicken coop, and Dai Cheng also turned his head, just wanting to say that he didn't eat eggs. As a result, before he could speak, Grandma Dai's old face was a tiger, and the folds were wrinkled enough to clamp flies, "What kind of strength does he eat, the kid will go to college to make up for his brain in the future, and he didn't even get into college." ”
Fang Ping also added two sentences, "Our hearts have also gone to high school, maybe we will be admitted to college, and we have to make up for it." After speaking, she glanced up and down at Dai Jiao, since Dai Jiao didn't listen to her and committed suicide by marrying someone, Fang Ping had already disgusted this niece who used to be submissive to her in the past, "Eggs are not nests, they are kept to sell for money." Now that you're in good health, clean up the house, and a lot of the house is dusty. ”
"The delicate body is just right" Lin Mai was still frightened by Dai Jiao's reaction before, and now she is completely raised as porcelain, "Wait until I finish cooking and then wipe it." ”
"Didn't I go to the ground when I was pregnant with my second child, and she was delicate?" Without Fang Ping's exit, Grandma Dai spoke impatiently. It is said that they are all her cubs, but the ten fingers are long and short, and Lin Mai doesn't like her, so she basically falls to Fang Ping on one side so far.
Dai Jiao took advantage of this moment to look at the people of the Dai family, and Dai Xin looked indifferent, and smeared it on his face. Dai Cai didn't care about this, and when he came out, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and waited for the meal to be served. Dai Cheng clenched his fists, and his face could not hide his anger.
Her current father Dai Zhu is still hesitant, and his face is not good, "Otherwise, wait for her mother to wipe it for a while, Jiao has just recovered in the past two days." ”
"Stinky girl, what are you looking at?" , Grandma Dai ignored her second son at all, looking at Dai Jiao's dark eyes and looking at this side, her eyes glared, "Didn't you hear what your eldest aunt said?" Going to clean up the house? ”
Dai Jiao put down the garlic sprouts in her hand, and her head hung down to think about things.
"Why are you so disobedient?" Fang Ping hugged Grandma Dai, "It's not that the eldest aunt said you, it's not a loss for you, a girl who can't read big words, to marry the surnamed Wang, but you are making trouble to die or live, and now your father and mother are worried?" Go to work quickly, after finishing the work, follow me to Lao Wang's to apologize, let's ...... again", Fang Ping didn't want to return the gift money received.
Dai Jiao raised her head when she heard this, and her big black eyes looked at everyone in the field again, she had died once, and it was most appropriate for her personality to change at this time, and it would not arouse suspicion, not to mention that she was not a person who could swallow her anger.
"My brother didn't get into college, why can't he get into college, my aunt doesn't know what's going on? I've died once, and Lord Yama is not afraid of you. As soon as the ghost door was closed, my brain seemed to be soaked in fairy water, thinking about how I was stupid to be like that dog before, uncle, you are such a bully, are you sorry? The half-grown girl, her face is sallow and sallow, her eyes are black, the red marks on her neck are like chains in the hands of black and white impermanence, and Fang Ping has not yet spoken, and she is all trembling, "Anyway, I'm not afraid of anyone, whoever will bully me again in the future, I chop whom!" ”
"What did the little bunny say?" As soon as Dai Cai heard this, he walked over in two big steps, and his voice shook Dai Jiao's body, "Tell me again, who are you going to chop?" ”
"Who sells me, who will I chop?" , who is bluffing? Who has not seen Dai Jiao in the present world before? This kind of temper and no one who sells his niece is a paper tiger.
"You", Dai Cai reached out to grab Dai Jiao's collar, but was blocked by Dai Cheng Linmai, "Uncle, my sister's body is just right." ”
"But it's too much, how can I live this day!" Fang Ping finally came back to her senses, the original Dai Jiao was disobedient, and now even Dai Cheng dared to resist his own man, Fang Ping hoped that everyone would listen to what he said in Dai's house.
She slapped her thigh and immediately began to howl, "None of them are obedient!" Pity our shopkeeper, not only have to go to the field every day, but also go out of the city to do carpentry to support the family. Now that people have fed them, they have all developed white-eyed wolves! ”
"Mom, uncle, my father, have you ever seen my brother's money as a carpenter?" Dai Jiao looked coldly at Fang Ping, who was squatting on the ground and howling, and asked.
Lin Mai and Dai Dad were stunned for a moment, but they didn't ...... Nope. Not only the carpenter's money, but also the money they have not seen in the past ten years to get up early and go to the field to sell grain.
Dai Cai felt that Fang Ping was embarrassed to sit on the ground, but when he heard Dai Jiao's words, he trembled angrily, "The money earned by your father and mine is all in the kilometer." Girl, you ...... Second brother, you don't care about her? ”
Dai Jiao smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about the kilometer, talk about Dai Xin's alabaster, and talk about the clothes on the little baby at home." Tell me about the chicken leg he ate the other day? The money is in the public account, why don't we have it? ”
"Phew, that alabaster was specially bought by our Zhiqiang from the city!" Fang Ping scolded, Dai Xin also looked at it, put away the alabaster, and shook the box twice, "How many pieces are in a box, do you use this thing?" ”
Dai Jiao was too lazy to take care of Dai Xin, "Then where did these several dollars come from, where did he get the money to go to college, and where did he get the money to go to high school?" She asked vigorously, "He Dai Zhiqiang has not been admitted to the university exam for several years, and the tuition fee is hundreds of yuan a year, how much can my uncle and my father earn in a year?" Why doesn't my brother go to school, why can't I go to school? Why can Dai Xin continue to go to school? Why can Dai Xin use alabaster, and why can't I use it? Dai Jiao's words are very illogical, but if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out.
A piece of money is put into the public account for him to go to college, and what benefits are you able to enjoy? Why do you want to spend the money for kilometers?
