Chapter Seventy-One: A Lifetime of Quarreling

Fourth Sister Wang's third brother Wang Qingming and third sister-in-law Ma Xiaohong are a very peculiar combination.

Wang Sange was a soldier when he was young, and he participated in the battle of suppressing bandits in Xiangxi, and his temper was very short-tempered, and sometimes he couldn't pull the three cows when he was stubborn. He is very tall, almost 1.8 meters, which can be regarded as standing out among the people in Sichuan, who are generally not tall.

Brother Wang is tall, he was also a handsome guy when he was young, and he had a background as a soldier in those years, so he should be looking for a good mother-in-law. But the third brother Wang married Ma Xiaohong.

Ma Xiaohong has not been to school for a few days, and she is not tall, just over 1.4 meters. She is with Brother Wang, and in the current popular language, it is called the cutest height difference.

Brother Wang Sange is ingenious, he has set up a stall in the town to repair shoes and bicycles, mend pots and pots, and earn a few small bucks, so he has a little more superiority than men like Seven Old Men and Liu Xiaosi who only know how to farm all their lives. However, he is a little slow and procrastinating.

Ma Xiaohong is an urgent person, diligent and fast, and everything she does. A woman who hasn't read many books doesn't know a few big truths, and she loves to call the shots in everything, and she always likes to babble and quarrel a few words when she has nothing to do.

The children of Checheshan have a nursery rhyme about Ma Sansao: "Ma Sansao, pull pigweed, sickle falls, I picked it up." I found it, but I can't exchange gold for silver. ”

But if you really pick up Ma San's sickle and don't return it to her, she will block your door and scold you for three days and three nights.

Many people can't understand how a person like Ma Xiaohong married Wang Sange.

The old people said that there was a little story in between.

It is said that back then, when Wang Sange returned from the army, he was introduced to Ma Xiaohong. At that time, most of the marriages in the countryside were still the words of the parents and the matchmakers, and there was not much freedom to speak of.

When Third Brother Wang went to Ma Xiaohong's house for the first time, Ma Xiaohong was moved by him. is such a handsome and peugeot young man, but it makes Ma Xiaohong's girl's heart pound.

At that time, it was still a large collective production team, and everyone worked together. During the day, when Ma Xiaohong went to work, she locked Wang Sange in the yard, for fear that the sisters of the same production team would rob her. When I came back at night, I made raw rice into cooked rice with a quilt for the two of us.

The third brother of the king has been a soldier for a few years, fighting bandits in the old mountains and forests, and he can withstand such a formation. The woman who had a spring was much more ferocious than the bandits, so she was obediently captured by Ma Xiaohong's gentle offensive. When she was young, Ma Xiaohong, although she was not tall, still had a bit of beauty.

However, after getting married, the differences in the personalities of the two formed an irreconcilable contradiction. After three days of quarrels and fights, Ma Xiaohong ran to her parents' house angrily at first. After a long time, I got used to it, and I felt uncomfortable not arguing for two or three days.

Ma Xiaohong gave birth to three daughters, and because she had no sons, her mother-in-law had a bad relationship with her. always scolded her for being an old chicken woman who couldn't lay eggs, and wasted his son's good figure.

When her mother-in-law was still alive, Ma Xiaohong said that if the old woman died, she would pick it up if she shed a tear.

Now that the three daughters are married, the old couple is left at home. It is said that the temper should be calm when you are older, but these two people are not biased, and they will quarrel over the slightest trivial matter. From time to time, the martial arts master Huashan discussed the sword, picked up the bench and played with a stick.

The combination of the seven old men and Liu Xiaosi, the old man, has completely shown its advantages in spring ploughing. Grow corn and order beans, they are much faster than others. Soaking grain seeds, smearing seedling fields, sowing seeds, covering mulch, they have done all the processes, and some people have just started.

Third Brother Wang complained that Ma Xiaohong was boring to work, and he pointed to him to do all the heavy work, so it was better to find Liu Xiaosi to partner like the Seven Old Men.

Ma Xiaohong said, if you look for Liu Xiaosi, he will give you a child.

Third Brother Wang said that you have a lot of credit for giving birth to your mother and three female dolls, and you wasted Lao Tzu's good seeds.

This time it has revealed the scars of Ma Xiaohong's heartache for a lifetime. The two of them crackled again.

However, the husband and wife always quarrel at the head of the bed and close at the end of the bed, and the next day the two of them went up the mountain to work again.

In fact, Third Brother Wang and Ma Xiaohong still had a period of peace. When the children are older, they will also intervene to stop and reconcile the quarrels between their parents. Many contradictions are originally trivial things in life, and when someone persuades them, they will take a step back.

Now, the children are not around, and outsiders are too lazy to meddle in their household chores, so they are getting more and more noisy.

In the dry land on the hillside, everyone planted early peas. In recent years, some people have gone to the countryside to collect peas, which cost more than a pound.

Everyone was picking beans on the mountain, talking and laughing. The seven old men felt as if they had returned to the time when the large collective production team worked together. The Seven Old Men sometimes wonder if this is the time to return to the big collective. Although large group labor at that time limited the ability of individuals, many people did not work hard to make a living. But now, there are some old people and children left in single households, and so much land is wasted, is it time to change?

Just like the land contract to the household back then, it greatly stimulated everyone's enthusiasm, and everyone was so eager at that time! Everyone feels that the land can grow golden food, and everyone can grasp the real happiness.

Now, so much land is left uncultivated, and the state has even reduced or exempted public grain and agricultural taxes, and has also issued subsidies for grain planting. What a good policy, the imperial grain tax is a policy that has been inherited for thousands of years in China, a large agricultural country. But there are still no young people who want to come back to farming. The Seven Old Men felt that it was really time for a change.

Balls and balls run around in the pea field, bouncing happily. There was a lot of rain this year, and the pea seedlings all developed powdery mildew. Many leaves are a layer of white ash, emitting an unpleasant ** smell. After squatting for a long time, I have a feeling of wanting to vomit. But I still have to insist on picking it, it's rare to have good weather these days, and if I don't finish picking it quickly, it will rot in the ground after the rain, what a pity!

The sun was about to set, and the seven old men stood up and stretched their waists. Squatting in the ground on this day, I felt that my waist pole was about to break.

Qiuqiu came out of the pea seedlings, covered in a layer of ****, and turned into a little white dog.

"Qiuqiu, I'm going home with my grandfather." Seeing Qiuqiu, the seven old men were happy in their hearts, and the fatigue of a day's work was also relieved a lot.

Farm trucks harvesting peas are waiting on the side of the concrete road in the village. Everyone brought the picked beans and sold them.

Third Brother Wang and Ma Xiaohong quarreled because of this matter.

"Wang Qingming, hurry up, look at your dog's things, just put one pocket, why do you have to put two pockets, it's so troublesome." Ma Xiaohong thought that Wang Qingming was slow, and her mouth was a little unpleasant.

"You say it, a bag is so heavy, can you lift it?"

"If you can't lift it, it's in vain to change your mother into a man, what's the use of asking you to be ****?"

"Lao Tzu is old, it's useless, you ****** go find a young one." The young don't want you either. Wang Qingming was angry and poured all the peas in the bag on the ground.

Ma Xiaohong sat on the ground and cried: "You thief turtle son, the old lady has been a whole day, your **** is poured out like this, why don't you **** die!" ”

Wang Qingming couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and pressed Ma Xiaohong to the ground, and hit her with his fist.

The people working in the mountains hurriedly came to persuade them. The women helped pick up the beans that were scattered on the ground and put them in bags.

"Qingming, you stop Lao Tzu." The seven old men went up and pulled Wang Qingming down.

Wang Qingming gritted his teeth, looking angry.

"You said that you have been arguing all your life, and you haven't quarreled enough." The seven old men put on the posture of their own elders and began to criticize the third brother Wang and his family, "It's okay to say a few words, what's the big deal." I still think I'm a green-ass doll. ”

"You said that you and the dolls are not at home, and you two are not responsible for anything. Fight, kill one, and see if the rest of the day will be a little better. This life is coming to an end, I don't know how to tolerate each other, I think you guys have really had enough of a good life. ”

The seven old men scolded one by one, and the third brother Wang was silent. Ma Xiaohong just sat on the ground and cried.

"Let's go, Brother Seven." Liu Xiaosi came over to pull the seven old men who were still angry, and he didn't understand why these two people were like this. Since they don't cherish each other like this, why did they come together again in the first place. An old bachelor like him, at such an age, how much he wants to be accompanied by his family. Why don't others know how to cherish what is in your heart?

Liu Xiaosi looked at the entrance of the village, and the village road meandered and disappeared into the shadow of the mountain. How much he hoped that Mingqiu's mother would suddenly come over from the entrance of the village and call him the fourth brother affectionately!
