002, grandma's hard work

Chen Yuezhi found his own stove house very smoothly, took out the hot water from the iron cylinder between the two cauldrons, put it in the basin, took an old toothbrush and a clean rag, and walked to the hall with the basin.

Looking at the image of ** hanging on the wall of the hall, and then look at the childhood home in my memory, it is exactly the same as in my memory.

An old-fashioned wall calendar hangs next to the mud-stripped, and Chen Yuezhi greedily looks at the date: 1995.

She really came back, she had spurned this poor family when she traveled to that overhead Yan Dynasty before, but after going through so much, when she came back, she suddenly felt that this place was so kind.

Even if she is the youngest and least favored in the family, but after all, no one will conspire and calculate against her, even if her superbirth affected her father's career, so that their family has changed from a small rich family to the current persecution situation, her parents have never said a word of importance to her.

Some things really don't feel valuable until they are lost.

Why is she the youngest in the family, but the least favored? The reason is that the country's family planning began in March 1981, and she was born in May.

Chen Yuezhi's father, Chen Wei, used to be a small accountant in Jinlin Village, and he worked hard, and was expected to compete for the director of the village committee in the next year.

At that time, many people persuaded the mother to take the child away, including Chen Yuezhi's grandparents and uncles, and the mother herself said not to affect her father's future.

At that time, although my father was only a small accountant in the village, because of this, the family was in a good situation, and they all had bicycles, black-and-white televisions, and radios that other people's families did not have; Other people's families can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and they can eat it every once in a while.

Chen Yuezhi already has three brothers and sisters, the eldest sister Chen Huizhi, 18 years old this year, in order to provide for her younger siblings to go to school, she only studied the first year of junior high school, dropped out of school, and now helps sell steamed buns in a small steamed bun shop in Jinlin Town to make money to supplement the family. Because it takes more than an hour to walk from Jinlin Village to the town, the bun shop opened early, so Chen Huizhi got up early and left.

Below the eldest sister are two twin brothers, the second brother is called Chen Mingzhi, and the third brother is called Chen Lizhi. Before there was no family planning in the rural areas, one was pregnant and one was born, but after the family planning began, only two children were born at most in the rural areas.

Of course, twins or twins can only be counted once, in this case, the Chen family's birth quota will be full, but at that time, the family planning measures were not yet popular, Chen Yuezhi's mother Li Qingxia was pregnant with Chen Yuezhi again without paying attention.

It was only after her grandmother's death that Chen Yuezhi learned why so many people had to induce her to give birth to her, but her mother still gave birth to her, and her father's job was lost, most of the family's property was confiscated, and she owed many debts.

The reason is my grandmother, she said to her father, you are a big man, can't you even support your own daughter, you are not ashamed.

Grandma said this, one is because the child in the belly was big at that time, if it had to be induced, it would hurt the woman's body greatly, the mother was the eldest daughter of the grandmother, she and her grandfather were the most beloved treasure in the palm, where was she willing to let her daughter suffer like this, and besides, the grandmother herself also raised four daughters and three sons, so she was very angry when she saw her father's behavior.

Chen Yuezhi never expected that his grandmother, who had always looked at him like a thorn in his eye, would actually be his life-saving benefactor. If it weren't for her grandmother running to say, in that case, Chen Yueyi would have only been drowned when she was born, or she would have been raised to other families, where would she still be able to live until now?

By the time she figured out this, it was too late, and her grandmother had already passed away due to illness. Later, Chen Yuezhi traveled to ancient times, and every time she thought of her grandmother, she was embarrassed, maybe her grandmother was protecting herself in her unique way, she made herself diligent and sweet, all of which were teaching her the way of doing things.

It's a pity that I didn't understand it at that time, and I only felt that I was not favored by my family, and I had low self-esteem and paranoia, and finally ended up like that.

Although Chen Yuezhi has been a general's beloved daughter for more than ten years in ancient times, his hands are not touched by the spring water, and later he entered the palace as a queen for five or six years. But doing these things now is like having your hands on them.

She quickly washed all the teacups in the hall, wiped them with a cloth and arranged them neatly, and went out with a basin of water, and poured the water from the basin neatly on the roots of the flowers outside the broken courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall is built of cement and soil and broken bricks, and the root of the wall is planted with a lot of moon seasons, cockscombs, roses and trumpet flowers, etc., those trumpet flowers like to climb, and the courtyard wall has been climbed full of green shade at this moment.

It's a good feeling to be alive like this, to be able to do it all over again, and to see my grandmother.

Chen Yuezhi pulled out a section of potato vines from the dustpan, cut them with a knife, put them in the pot, boiled them with some potato roots, as well as broken rice and bran, covered the pot, and said to the grandmother sitting in front of the stove, "Just set up another big firewood, grandma, I'll go sweep the yard, you help watch the pot don't be mushy." ”

Chen Yuezhi took out a large broom made of bamboo branches from behind the door, the broom was as high as hers, a little heavy, she dragged it to the yard, and began to sweep some dust and leaves, as well as the garbage left by people walking into the ash pit at the root of the yard, and when the garbage was full, her father would gather them together and burn them into ashes and fertilize the field.

Fu Guihua sat in front of the stove, although she was still surprised in her heart, how could this girl become so diligent after only one night, but she was still very pleased.

She didn't expect that saving this girl's life would make her son-in-law lose her livelihood and job, let alone that the gang in the village were too ruthless and made a good family surrounded by walls. I don't know if it's really because the national policy is strict, or if there is a doorway inside, anyway, the Chen family's bicycles, radios, televisions, and warehouses full of rice, and the furniture that can be worth a little money have all been confiscated.

The life of the eldest daughter's family has changed dramatically, and she also feels a little guilty, every time her husband sees the eldest daughter suffering, he will come out and talk about it, and she is angry, so she lives in her daughter's house.

Chen Yueyi swept the yard while subconsciously waving the broom, and the moves she had learned before appeared in her mind, but they were all still there, she was ecstatic, and she swept harder and harder.

She quickly swept the yard, Fu Guihua had already lifted the lid of the pot, scooped the pig food into the big wooden barrel, the steaming grandmother's face became more and more hazy, looking at this familiar picture, Chen Yuezhi's eyes were blinded by tears again.

In this life, she will not repeat the mistakes of the past, and she will not let her grandmother die so early.
