Seriously calculated, the second uncle and Zhou Dahai brothers have already come out of the five suits, and they are not too close elders.

But before his liberation, he was the patriarch of the Zhou clan for more than 20 years, and after the liberation, Wang Lamei went back to his hometown every year to pay New Year's greetings to him, and his relationship with him was relatively close.

The second uncle was wearing a set of black homespun cotton clothes, with patches on his shoulders and knees, and the stitches were fine, clean and neat. A coarse cloth belt was wrapped around his waist, and he carried a large shriveled cloth on his back. The old man who was almost sixty years old, with a straight waist and attentive eyes, naturally sat there with a majestic aura.

"What do you mean by that?"

Wang Lamei changed her usual style of being rude and loud, sat beside her second uncle in a regular manner, and spoke softly as much as possible, "Second uncle, I really don't know what this telegram is about, I didn't send any telegram!" ”

Let the second uncle come and get the grain? She worked desperately, and it took more than 20 people from the Zhou family and the Wang family to barely eat bran and vegetable dumplings, how could there be food for others? !

The second uncle took out the telegram from the tie and patted it in front of Wang Lamei, "Look at it, this is still an urgency!" The commune king knocked on the door in the middle of the night and sent it! I, Zhou Bingxian, am not the patriarch now, but I don't ask for food! Can you still use empty mouths and white teeth to blackmail food?! ”

Wang Lamei is illiterate, and she doesn't read the newspaper, although she is so anxious that she rubs her hands, she can't learn the style of other women who wipe their tears when they are in a hurry, so she can only deny it stubbornly:

"Second uncle, I really don't know what's going on! The eldest in the family has more food indicators, and he only has forty-two catties a month, but he has to go down the well, which is a fatal job! No one dared to touch his portion.

The rest don't go down the well, I only have 21 catties a month, and the second child is only 30 catties, so I have to buy what the grain store sells, and now I can't buy the grain at the bottom of the warehouse, it's all chaff and dried sweet potatoes, and I can only barely deal with a hungry ...... every meal."

The second uncle took the cigarette bag and pot and knocked the cigarette ash on the table, and forcefully interrupted Wang Lamei's crying.

"Dahai's family, I heard that there is no household registration in the city, and the state does not give food, and your family members are going to starve to death if they have food indicators, how can your mother and their family live in the city?"

Wang Lamei's confidence is even weaker, "Second uncle, my brother is a regular worker in our mine, and he has forty-two catties of grain a month, and my eldest nephew is also a five-seven worker in the mine, with a salary of four cents and six cents a day, and the family is frugal and saves some flowers, which is enough......"

The second uncle was smoking a cigarette pouch, his eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in a cloud of green smoke, and he didn't say anything.

At this time, the five-seven labor system is not so perfect, whether it is enough or not, four cents six, five or seven workers are to do corner work in the mine, no matter what kind of work there is, a day will be four cents and six wages, no work will be at home, not a penny of wages.

In this way, the family members of the mine who did not have a hukou in the city still grabbed their heads to do it. Wang Suozhu only paid a dozen yuan for a full month's work, barely enough to make ends meet, and it was impossible to support his wife and children.

Needless to say, Wang Lamei understands it, and the second uncle, who has been a patriarch and is more knowledgeable than ordinary farmers, also understands.

Even if Wang Lamei quibbled and said that her mother's family could support a large family by relying on her brothers and nephews, then so many people in their family would have to earn wages and receive food, and they would have to have a surplus, and the poverty that she cried with her second uncle just now was fake.

No matter how you say it, it's wrong, and the second uncle pinched Wang Lamei when he asked.

Zhou Xiaoan silently looked at the two people who were silent, and did not rush to explain the telegram, she had a lot of questions in her heart, and wanted to see more about the situation.

Soon after Wang Lamei and Zhou Dahai got married, they came to Peizhou with Zhou Dahai to work as a miner, and they couldn't meet their relatives in their hometown for a few years.

It wasn't until after Zhou Dahai's death in the mine disaster that Wang Lamei suddenly became enthusiastic about the second uncle's family, and every year in the first month of the year, she would go back to see the second uncle with gifts, and she would be good every year.

Looking at the current situation, it is really unusual for Wang Lamei to have such a stinky and hard straight temper, and she knows restraint and weakness in front of her second uncle.

Wang Lamei is not a poor widow who was helpless in the old society, and after her husband died, she had to rely on the help of the clan to survive. Zhou Yuehai sends money on a monthly basis, which is enough for them to live.

Even Zhou Yuehai has no connection with her hometown, and she doesn't even have to worry about the clansmen in her hometown doing bad things behind her back.

Is she weak-hearted? Because you gave up your job to your mother's brother? Because he used Zhou Yuehai's money to support his mother's family?

This has become a fact, even the relatives in her hometown can't get used to it, and they can't stop it, can she be so irritable and have endured it for so many years just for the sake of a weak heart?

The weakness of the heart without any threatening power can restrain her for more than ten years? Zhou Xiaoan didn't believe it.

Wang Lamei explained a few more words to her second uncle, who had been smoking a cigarette pouch without saying a word, with the majesty of an elder, and also had the determination to firmly grasp the initiative in the conversation.

But it was clear that he was the one who came to ask for food, but he didn't show any weakness in begging for help.

Zhou Xiaoan looked at it for a while, and felt that he couldn't see anything anymore, so he spoke, "Second uncle, I sent the telegram." ”

Wang Lamei was so angry that she forgot to scare about the presence of her second uncle, and rushed over to beat Zhou Xiaoan, this time it was a real beating, usually she raised her hand to slap the child, in her opinion, it was even a level of gentle reprimand.

Zhou Xiaoquan hurriedly pounced on her to stop her, Zhou Xiaoan raised his face without fear, "Auntie! I've made Mrs. Wang fight like this! Where else do you want to go? Do you see where else to start?! ”

Wang Lamei glanced at her second uncle with a weak heart, and scolded Zhou Xiaoan viciously: "Why do you call your grandma?!" You white-eyed wolf with no old man in your eyes! ”

Zhou Xiaoan didn't entangle with her, turned around and continued to talk to the second uncle, "Second uncle, I sent the telegram, I heard that our hometown is going to starve to death, my uncle came back and gave me ten catties of food stamps, I replaced it with dried sweet potatoes, and I wanted to send it to my hometown, but I asked Mrs. Wang to beat it, and I couldn't go to my hometown, so I sent you a telegram." ”

Wang Lamei glared at Zhou Xiaoan viciously, almost eating her.

The second uncle was a little strange, he didn't care about the life-saving food, but asked Zhou Yuehai first, "Your uncle is back?!" When did he come back? Are you gone? ”

The troops asked for secrecy about Zhou Yuehai's disappearance, but Wang Lamei did not tell anyone in her hometown.

So it's even more strange for the second uncle to ask like this, Zhou Yuehai has not been back for more than ten years since he joined the army and left his hometown. Even when he was a child, he lived in a carpenter shop at the age of six to do odd jobs, and his relationship with the people in his hometown was very weak, and the second uncle's concern was a little abrupt.

It's about the uncle, Zhou Xiaoan will never talk nonsense about things he doesn't understand, he just pretends not to understand and looks at Wang Lamei.

Wang Lamei hurriedly answered, but suddenly changed her tone, "Second uncle, the child's uncle gave me some food stamps, and I was about to buy some food for you to send back after the New Year, you came at the right time." ”
