Gu Xiaoqing quickly picked up the corn in the yard with his hands and feet, he had been doing these farm work for decades, you must know that when he was at home, he also went to the field to do farm work at a young age.

Married to Fu Guoqiang, the person who doesn't care about anything, everything is himself, he is alone in the field, Fu Guoqiang is a person who will not help if the oil bottle is poured, so Gu Xiaoqing is a very capable person.

This point of corn could not stump her.

I looked at the sky, and it was already overcast.

It looks like it's raining today.

Gu Xiaoqing glanced at the three-room broken mud embryo room in his house, sighed, and took out a plastic sheet from the cabinet on the wall of the stove room next to him, which should be the only one.

The plastic sheeting from the last time has been borrowed by the second uncle.

The rest was lent to Uncle Wang Zhiguo next door earlier, and he was spared.

It's been eighty-four years, and although people's lives are not good, they are still good compared to before.

At least it's no problem to be full, like my own, there are people who have such a difficult life, but there are not many, at least people can eat white flour steamed buns.

At home, I still eat black steamed buns mixed with cornmeal and sorghum flour.

It can only be said that his parents are too kind to be told by his grandparents that the third uncle's family eats public food in the town, and it is rationed, distributed according to the age of the population, and his own family is the eldest should help a little brother, so every year the third uncle will take all the white noodles by himself after the autumn harvest as a matter of course.

Whoever makes the wheat cultivation here have a low yield, and no one has much land, so in addition to wheat, they also have to pay attention to some other high-yield crops, otherwise these people will not be enough to make ends meet.

Wheat will not be planted all, so the yield is also limited, but every year, the third uncle has never said anything, every year when he comes back from the town, he has never taken anything for his family, not that Gu Xiaoqing has taken anything from the third uncle Gu Ruhe, but the favor is at least.

I was nagged by the third uncle Gu Ruhe every year, saying that the flour was not ground fine enough, too coarse, and too dark, and it was really a burp throat to eat.

Gu Xiaoqing really wanted to say, it's so coarse that we haven't eaten yet.

Otherwise, you can try those black-faced steamed buns and see if your throat is still hiccupping.

We don't dislike it, people eat our family's best rations and count our family's no, and our parents are still honestly taught.

Thinking about this, Gu Xiaoqing felt so angry that she was going to die.

Why do you have to give rations to the third uncle's family every time, the second uncle's family never comes out, the population of the family is less than theirs, and the land is more than ten acres more than theirs.

Even if he is raising a college student, but every year the harvest in the field of grandparents is not pasted to Gu Xiaocheng of the second uncle's family, and the village also gives subsidies.

Gu Xiaoqing didn't know what his father was thinking, thinking that they were all a family, they couldn't help but take a hand, and they didn't help when they saw difficulties, but their father Gu Ruhai didn't want to think about it, why Gu Xiaocheng of the second uncle's family went to college, and how old were their brothers and sisters.

As the elder brother, it was the younger brother who got married first, bought a family business, and gave birth to a child early.

But his father, Gu Ruhai, is over thirty years old, so he hurriedly found his mother and said that the matchmaker had become a family.

For so many years, he has been working hard for the family, in addition to farming, he has to do odd jobs everywhere to subsidize the family, not only that there is a younger brother who is studying at home, but also a younger brother who has already married and wants to raise children.

But no one in the second and third uncles remembered Gu Ruhai's love, and they took it for granted, as if this day should be like this, and Gu Ruhai should pay so much.

And the grandparents also protect the second and third uncles vigorously, and always instill in Gu Ruhai that what brothers don't divide so clearly, of course, you have to help the younger brothers when you are the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, so it is nothing for you to suffer a little.

So life has become like this day by day.

Gu Xiaoqing put up the wooden ladder placed horizontally in the courtyard to the roof against the wall, before it rained, he had to hurry, otherwise the house would not be able to stand it for a while.

Holding the plastic sheet in his hand, he climbed up, and the whole plastic sheet was spread on the roof, but fortunately, this plastic sheet was originally a favor from my uncle's family, and the area was large enough to cover all the roof.

Gu Xiaoqing cautiously stepped on the strong keel of the roof, and pressed the corners of the four sides with tiles one by one, lest the wind blow up for a while.

Looking at the completed roof, Gu Xiaoqing was finally relieved.

Get off the ground and put the ladder away.

Gu Xiaoqing hurriedly went into the kitchen.

There are three rooms in Gu Ruhai's house, one is a room and a utility room, and one is a room for Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying.

And because Gu Xiaojie is still young, only five years old, he still sleeps in the big house with his parents.

This place is narrow, only so wide.

But this is the home that Gu Xiaoqing has been familiar with for eighteen years.

I scooped two bowls of cornmeal from the cabinet and added another bowl of sorghum noodles, and I woke up and waited for a while to steam the steamed buns.

I plucked a white radish from the vegetable patch against the wall in the yard, cut it into shreds, and stir-fried it with chili peppers for a while, and it was the evening dish.

Of course, don't think about meat, if it is not a New Year's holiday, their family can't afford to eat meat, that is, during the New Year's Festival, after killing pigs, it is also the least meat that can fall into their own mouths, and most of them are changed by grandma and second uncle to leave.

Bringing in a bundle of firewood from the yard, Gu Xiaoqing quickly stabbed the stove, lit a fire, boiled some water in the cauldron, and when the water boiled, Gu Xiaoqing spread a cage cloth with a grate, and steamed the black flour steamed buns that had been kneaded just now.

Covering the pot, Gu Xiaoqing boiled the cornmeal paste in the boiling water in the small pot at the other end, and put some chopped white radish leaves in it, which everyone in the village eats.

After all, it's still eight years now, and it's not yet time to get rich.

Gu Xiaoqing sat in front of the stove, filled the stove with firewood, and thought in her heart that the time she came back now was twelve years old, which was the year she graduated from elementary school, just because her grandparents told Gu Ruhai that she was a girl and could recognize a few words, so it was better not to go to school earlier and help the family with housework.

It can also be used as a laborer, and it can also save some money and reduce the burden on the family, so Gu Ruhai thought about it again and again, but let Gu Xiaoqing not go to school.

Even with this year's graduation results, Gu Xiaoqing was the first in the primary school in the village, but she was unable to continue her studies and officially became a female village girl.

This time, Gu Xiaoqing decided that she would never be at the mercy of her grandparents, she must study, and after working outside for many years, Gu Xiaoqing knew that knowledge and culture determine people's fate.

If you want to change your fate, you can't compromise in the first place.
