My mother finally found the commune and slapped the table with the secretary of the commune, and my mother recognized a reason, the cadres had to go through the resignation procedures with my consent, and my mother asked me what to do with the procedures without my knowledge. Later, the matter of going to the countryside was over, and the wood for building the house was piled up in the courtyard of my grandmother's house, and the red silk tied to the wood faded and rotted, and my grandfather did not dare to move, because it was a public thing. Many years later, my grandfather had to talk about it at home, and my brother-in-law rebuilt the house before using the wood. However, my mother's affairs have not been resolved, no job, no income, and the relationship has also been transferred, my mother has become a conceptually non-existent person, and those women who hold their children in the corner and bask in the sun and chat with melon seeds, have become the same, my mother has participated in the revolution since she was a teenager, and the honor and treatment that she has gained by sacrificing her life have turned into a few pieces of red silk and a burst of firecrackers, and disappeared. My mother later hugged me and began to petition everywhere, looking for higher departments to reflect their own situation, just like "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", as an individual, you can hide from the kang on the pot, but as an organization, it is impossible to hide from the kang under the pot, and the problem is solved step by step, I don't know what the result of the petition is, it is all pressed on the commune.

Lao Luo, the secretary of the commune, began to run to our house, on the one hand, he admitted to my mother that there was a problem with his working methods, and on the other hand, he mobilized my mother to go to work in the commune, saying that in the grocery store at the railway station, no one was educated, and the accounts were not clear, so he mobilized my mother to go. At first, my mother ignored him, and couldn't stop Lao Luo from going every day, but then I analyzed, and finally my mother could agree, one is that my mother eats soft and not hard, and the other is that she has been at home for a long time, surrounded by family members from the east and west, and my mother is panicked.

In this way, my mother became a temporary worker in the commune. My mother was aggrieved, but she never mentioned it in front of outsiders, and she didn't say anything when she was tired and vomited blood, she was very strong. But at home, my dad was in trouble, and my mom thought my dad was the source of all the disasters. My dad stood awkwardly, listening to my mom's count.

Just as my mom was hysterically counting my dad in the back room, there were a few bangs on the courtyard door outside, and I heard my dad say, "Who's coming?" I'll take a look. Then he came out of the back room at great speed. I followed my dad to open the courtyard door.

As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Aunt Guan immediately turned around and plugged in the courtyard door again, and then lowered her voice and said, "I see that the old horse's face is not good during the day, let me come and see what's going on?" Isn't it sick, we've been very busy there these days, are we tired? ”

Aunt Guan was very mysterious that night, as if she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, but just these few words, what is there to eavesdrop, I followed behind my father and Aunt Guan, just thinking about my mother who was crazy in the house, being seen by outsiders, very embarrassed. The six-year-old girl is thoughtful and already knows what to do. I silently prayed in my heart that a god would appear in the sky, and with a gentle wave of my hand, I immediately changed Aunt Guan from my house and appeared in her own home, she didn't know what was going on.

The fairy didn't see it, but it really seemed like he had come, and the quilt thrown on the ground moved to the bed, neatly and cleanly covered my mother, who leaned on the pillow and leaned on the head of the bed, and her short hair was not messy, looking weak and serene. Seeing Aunt Guan coming in, my mother hurriedly bowed and wanted to get up: "Lao Guan, why are you here, it's a big night, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

"I saw that your face was not good-looking during the day, come and see if you are sick?"

"It's okay, maybe there was a cool breeze on the way to buy today, just drink some hot water."

"Don't be fine, it's okay, just rest for two days if you're not feeling well, it's almost the New Year, don't be tired anymore."

"It's really fine, I'll definitely rest if there's something. Quick, Lao Zheng, pour water! ”

My father hurriedly went to find a thermos, but Aunt Guan hurriedly stopped: "Don't be busy, I'll sit down and leave for a while, come and talk to the old horse." ”

When Aunt Guan saw me, she thought of something, and took out a paper bag from her pocket, the size of a fist, square: "Come, Xiaonan, see what I brought you?" ”

Mrs. Guan opened the paper bag, and I saw a stack of sesame cakes neatly stacked in the paper bag, thin, that was the first time I saw such a thin sesame cake, the sesame seeds and sesame seeds were evenly arranged, and the sugar orange in the middle was translucent, like glass.

"My brother and daughter-in-law have come back from their hometown, and they came home for dinner tonight, so they brought some."

My mother hurriedly humbled me: "Leave it for the guards to eat." ”

Wei Bing and Wei Min are the two sons of Guan Damiang, who are a few years older than me.

"There are still at home, try them all."

I looked at my mother, and my mother said, "Eat, Aunt Guan has brought it to you."

I sat on a small bench and ate sesame cakes in small bites, and the adults were homely in one sentence. After a while, Aunt Guan changed her words and turned to the topic: "Actually, I'm here today...... There's something else I'd like to talk to you about. ”

My dad immediately got up and left consciously. Aunt Guan stopped him: "Lao Zheng, don't go, you can listen too, and see if you can give us ideas." ”

After asking my mom for eye approval, my dad sat down again.

"Lao Guan, what's the matter?" My mom spoke first.

"I don't know what to say about this ......." Aunt Guan hesitated.

"I don't know what to say, just say it if you have something, we are together all day, not a day or two." My mom followed the rules.

"Then I'll just say it, it's right or wrong, don't blame me, anyway, I'm not educated, you don't know."

"Look at you, what the hell is going on? Go ahead! ”

"I've heard people say...... Other consignment points are different from ours. ”

"How is it different?" As soon as I heard that it was related to work, I watched my mother come to the spirit, and listened attentively.

“…… They only make friends with those who are short, but not with those who are long. ”

It's the jargon of buying and selling at the food counter. The commune has several consignment points like my mother and them, and each consignment point is unified to the food processing factory to pick up the goods, because the food processing factory also belongs to the commune, so the delivery is only a sign, not cash. At the end of each month, they will take stock of how many things have been sold, how much money they have received, and how many food stamps they have received will be handed over to the commune, and the commune will calculate them. The so-called long and short, that is, for example, this month I sold 100 catties of dim sum, two yuan a catty, then I should collect 200 yuan, 100 catties of food stamps, but at the end of the month, I received 210 yuan, 100 catties of food stamps, then there are eleven yuan and 5 catties of food stamps, that is long, on the contrary, at the end of the month, if only 180 yuan, 90 catties of food stamps, then it is called 20 yuan short, 10 catties of food stamps, short is the meaning of loss. My mother and Aunt Guan will hand over the money and food stamps every month, and it is very small when it is short, I remember it seems to be only once or twice. As long as it's not too short, I don't have to pay for it myself, but my mother has a big sense of responsibility, and she will think about it for several days every time, and she must find out the reason for the shortness. The vast majority of them are long, because they are all public, and belong to a large unit, so to the food processing plant to pick up the goods are full of two pounds, back to retail to customers, because they are afraid that the moon base point will be short, so the high and low will come out.

"Lao Guan, how is this possible? Who do you listen to say, "My mom doesn't believe it."

"Don't ask me who I listened to, it's the real thing anyway."

"Don't listen to some people chewing their tongues, if you really have this kind of thing, it's a mistake."

"Yes." My dad spoke: "Lao Guan, I think Lao Ma is right, this kind of thing is unlikely, that is, wives chew their tongues, think about it, put the country's money in their pockets, who would dare?" That's a crime, and our Public Security Bureau has handled this kind of case before. ”

Aunt Guan was silent, bowed her head and twisted a thread that fell off the edge of her clothes, twisted it for a while, and said seriously: "I came to tell you about this today, I'm not greedy for those money, I just can't figure it out, you said that the public money, let's take it is illegal, so is it illegal for others to take it?" ”

My dad laughed: "Whoever takes it is the same, and it is against the law." ”

"Not necessarily." Aunt Guan muttered quietly.

"Not necessarily, you can talk about it."

Aunt Guan lowered her head and kept silent, but her emotions became excited, her chest rose and fell, and her face turned red.

Seeing this, my mother pulled Aunt Guan's hand: "Lao Guan, what's wrong?" Have you heard something? ”

Aunt Guan raised her head and looked at my mother: "Old Ma, you went to work in the morning, what was wrong with not paying attention?"

"Morning?" My mom asked blankly, "This morning?" ”

"No, see you in the morning."

“……”

"Oh, you haven't seen Lao Luo's wife?"

My mom thought for a moment: "I've seen her, sometimes I run into her buying food." ”

"What did you buy?"

"What did you buy? Well...... Fritters, fire. What's wrong? What is this for, you ask? ”

"I also heard from others that Lao Luo's family eats a few yuan a day for breakfast alone, and I didn't believe it at first, but I looked at it for several days, and it was really true, just buying meat and burning it was such a stack."

Aunt Guan opened up and down with her hands and gestured.

"What's wrong with that? His children are just when they can eat, how can they buy less? ”

"Old horse, who is holding this way of eating? Lao Luo's wife doesn't work, the eldest son of the front nest also lives in his house, and there are two and a half sons, and the whole family eats Lao Luo alone, can he eat like this? Where does the money come from? ”

"......" my mother was speechless for a moment.

"Also, people say that Lao Luo and Accountant Liu broke their shoes and got all the government's money at home......"

"Xiao Nan." My mother raised her voice and interrupted Aunt Guan: "Have you finished eating?" After eating, go out and play! ”

I carefully held the sesame cake in the paper bag with my hand, and I came to the outhouse by myself, and I had just come out. My dad closed the door to the back room. The voices inside became quieter, grunting, and it was hard to hear what was being said. I finished eating the sesame cake by myself, there was nothing to play with, it was boring, so I snuggled up on the only large rattan chair in the house by the stove and fell asleep hotly. I woke up once in the middle, I was still on the chair, with a small quilt on my body, and Aunt Guan hadn't left yet, and I heard her still talking to my parents in the back room. When I woke up again, it was already morning, I was sleeping in the bed bed, my mom was next to me, and my dad was cooking lightly outside. I remember my mom didn't go to work that day, stayed at home all day, didn't eat much, and didn't talk much. My dad finished the meal and went to work. At noon, Aunt Guan hurriedly came to see my mother, the two of them were talking in the back room with the door closed, muttering and muttering, and Aunt Guan had a louder voice, and heard her say "...... Old horse, don't you dare......" "You yourself have suffered less......

Later, my dad found a Chinese medicine doctor for my mother, grabbed some medicines, and boiled Chinese medicine for my mother after work every day, and I could smell a smell of Chinese medicine inside and outside the hospital. It took a while for my mom's body to return to normal, go to work normally, talk normally, and everything returned to normal.
