On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1963, the seventh production team of the Erdaokan Brigade was extremely fierce.

The members of the club rested for more than 20 days, and yesterday they had a good meal to their heart's content, but today they are full of spirits, remembering the bittersweet ones, and their hostility towards the class enemy who destroys their good life has also deepened a lot, and the consciousness of struggle has been unprecedentedly awakened, and the criticism and struggle meeting is in full swing and very lively.

This criticism meeting is not over with a slogan and a sign as in the past. This time, the task was clear, and the old captain had no intention of perfunctory, listing crimes, shouting slogans, slapping them, hanging bricks, and parading the streets.

When the Zhou family came back exhausted, it was already night, Zhou Chunliang was carrying the dying old lady Zhou, and Zhou Hongying was crying next to her so much that her voice was hoarse. Zhou Chunxi also followed beside him, walking one step and two times, yesterday his condition worsened and burned all night, and today he didn't drink a sip of water all day long, criticizing and parading the streets, and he was already relying on stubbornness to support him.

"Dad, how are you?" Zhou Ping settled Li Guizhi, who was almost stupid, and his weak sister, but in the end he couldn't bear to come and see Zhou Chunxi.

"Leave me alone, take a look at your first." Zhou Chunxi has refused to talk to Zhou Ping since he went to pick up their mother and daughter, today he is too busy to take care of Mrs. Zhou, so he will support Zhou Ping, in his opinion, this is an opportunity to atone for Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping paused to help Zhou Chunxi's hand, turned around and returned to the north kang, and didn't look at the south kang again.

The three brothers and sisters of Zhou Yang were not affected by Mrs. Zhou at all, and they still concentrated on studying today.

They are young. I have seen few things, although I know that the children of the Black Five elements are "dog cubs" and want to be bullied and looked down upon. They don't know what their grandchildren will be called, or how they will be treated.

Originally, because of the estrangement with Mrs. Zhou, I felt that her being detained had nothing to do with her brothers and sisters, but now that I look at it, I feel that there is nothing wrong with them.

So the three brothers and sisters, as usual, put all their energy into studying.

The brigade elementary school opened on March 1, and Zhou Chen had to learn someone else's one-year curriculum in a month's time. Although there is only one subject of Chinese, the learning task is still very heavy.

So they automatically canceled the game time, and Zhou Yang didn't let his younger brother do any more housework. He clumsily took it all. Zhou Wanwan tried her best to help Zhou Chen replenish his brain power and guide him to study scientifically and efficiently.

Of course, Zhou Wanwan knew that things would not be as simple as the two brothers thought, and she understood it as soon as her mind turned. It must have been Uncle Zhang who helped them.

Right now. The only one who has the ability and heart to help them is Uncle Zhang. Even if it wasn't instructed by Grandpa Shen and Shen Guodong, it was for the sake of these two people's faces, so they owed Grandpa Shen and Shen Guodong a favor again, and of course they had to thank Uncle Zhang and Aunt Ma for doing their best to treat them. Zhou Wanwan silently made another note in her heart.

The three Zhou Yang brothers and sisters live their lives busy and fulfilling, and they seem to live in two worlds with the Zhou family.

After the team's criticism meeting, Mrs. Zhou miraculously survived again. It's the day of breaking five. She was able to walk a few steps down the ground.

It was on this day that Zhou Ping, who had been confronting the Zhou family as cold and resolute as a stone since he came back, left the Zhou family.

No one found any hint that she was leaving. Even Li Guizhi only learned on the morning when she packed her luggage and was about to leave that Zhou Ping had already signed up for the county's engineering team to support the "Battle of the Nirgan River" and set off today.

The Nirgan River is a large river that crosses the province, and the province decided to build a large reservoir in Deyuan County, where it passes, and called on all counties and districts in the province to organize migrant workers to support.

The location of the reservoir is more than 600 miles away from Suilin County, and there is no one who can not come back at all for a year or two, and the construction site is bitter and tiring, so there are basically no people who voluntarily sign up, and they are all assigned tasks one by one.

As early as last autumn, the tasks of the commune were apportioned, and no one expected that Zhou Ping would voluntarily sign up for it.

Li Guizhi pulled Zhou Ping's luggage roll and cried, Zhou Ping instructed her to take care of Zhou Lan, don't treat herself badly, hesitated, and walked over to Zhou Chunxi.

Zhou Chunxi's health was good and bad during this time, several high fevers came down, and the whole person was as thin as an old tree root, sitting beside Mrs. Zhou sickly, silently refusing to look at Zhou Ping.

"Dad, I've been growing up, you've never taken care of me, I'm twenty-four this year, and I've suffered more than others in several lifetimes. Now Liuya is still young and doesn't understand anything, and it's still too late for you to be nice to her now. Besides, if you give birth to her, you have to take care of her, and don't let her suffer from me anymore. ”

Zhou Ping was equal for a while, but Zhou Chunxi still lowered his head silently, refusing to look at her.

Zhou Ping picked up the luggage roll, took one last look at his mother and sister, and walked out of Zhou's house without looking back.

Zhou Lan looked at Zhou Ping's back, and suddenly burst into tears, crying extremely poignantly, like a cub that had lost the protection of a mother beast.

No one in the Zhou family said a word about Zhou Ping's departure.

Even Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen just froze for a moment, and then went to write.

Zhou Wanwan was a little slow to come. In his previous life, Zhou Ping is now married to Xu Dali. In this life, where will Zhou Ping's road go?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Zhou family was panicked, and they were all anxiously waiting for the brigade's criticism meeting tomorrow.

Mrs. Zhou has been able to eat normally, and her body has recovered, but the Zhou family is indeed different from before.

Mrs. Zhou, who was back at the dinner table, no longer had the right to distribute meals, and the Zhou family ate their own meals, and no one sat honestly waiting for her distribution.

Zhou Hongying pouted and looked at Mrs. Zhou with tears in her eyes, expecting that Mrs. Zhou, who had returned to the dinner table, would distribute the best and most meals to her with the rice bowl as before.

In the first month, the few pieces of meat left by the Zhou family were taken out and eaten, but Zhou Hongying no longer had the right to eat more meat at every meal, and she was going to die of grievance for the past few days.

Zhou Hongying can eat meat. I don't know when it started. But she no longer has the right to eat meat. In the future, maybe she won't even have the opportunity to eat meat.

It is precisely because of seeing this. It was only after Zhou Wanwan that she regained her ability to eat meat. When there was meat, of course she couldn't be allowed to eat it, but now there is no meat. It's just that she can't eat or not.

Mrs. Zhou silently took a bowl and served rice to herself and Zhou Hongying, and ate without saying a word.

Not only is the dinner table different, since Mrs. Zhou came back, she no longer has the power to distribute the Zhou family's food and money. Even, she never saw a cent of the family's money again.

Mrs. Zhou is honestly recuperating these days, and she is dedicated to cultivating a relationship with Zhou Chunxi's three sons, and she doesn't say a word about these things.

Afternoon. Yang Dajia came to Zhou's house again.

She really doesn't want to come, what is the composition of this week's house now? A bad guy, a broken shoe. She was afraid of getting her feet dirty!

But some people are not afraid of dirty feet, and they are still in a hurry to come in. This person is Xue Shuiqin.

Xue Shuiqin promised Yang Dajia, as long as this matchmaking is done, she will give her half of the bride price she gets!

Halfway. That's twenty-five dollars! She worked as a matchmaker for a year. I can't make that much money!

Therefore, now Yang Dajia is not afraid that the Zhou family will dirty her feet, and Xingxing is here, holding back her strength to make this matchmaker!

Xue Shuiqin also had no choice, otherwise she would not have been able to invest such a large amount of money.

Last year, when the incident of Li Xiuhua and Zhou Ping broke out from the Zhou family, she dismissed her plan to marry in. Such people can eat people one by one. When she gets married, all she has to do is suffer, and don't expect any blessings.

Then. There was a bad element in their family, Mrs. Zhou, and then Zhou Juan became a broken shoe, and Xue Shuiqin couldn't get married.

However, now that she has no time to pick someone, she won't find someone to marry, so she and her daughter Meihua will jump into the fire pit!

As the saying goes, disasters don't go alone, and Xue Shuiqin has really experienced it this month.

First of all, the horse frame where she and Meihua lived was overwhelmed by the snow, and in the tenth winter, the mother and daughter were penniless and had nowhere to go, and they froze in the cold wind for half a night.

It was easy to come to my sister's house, and after only two days, my sister and brother-in-law had two big quarrels. Brother-in-law, this is disgusted that their mother and daughter eat and live for nothing......

My sister can only find her in-laws and want her to marry as soon as possible. Xue Shuiqin was also in a hurry, if she didn't find someone quickly, she and Meihua would really have to sleep in the open air.

In fact, this is not the worst thing for Xue Shuiqin, another thing that makes her so anxious that she can't sit still is even more urgent, she was targeted by the old bachelor Song Deaf in her sister's tunzi.

Song is really deaf, he was injured when he was a child, his hearing was very poor, and he couldn't hear if he wasn't shouting in his ear.

Song is deaf in her fifties, and a grumpy old lady in the family is a well-known shrew. Their family is a well-known poor peasant in the whole commune, real abject poverty, two broken grass houses that can see the sky, a pair of pants for the mother, someone from the family, and if there are no pants, you have to find a sack to surround it.

There are so many poor peasants in the whole commune, and there are really no people who can live their lives in their families. At the beginning, the team and the brigade would take care of the old, weak, sick and disabled family, give them some relief food, and get clothes that can cover their bodies for them to wear, but they took the food today and went to the tofu factory to change a piece of tofu, and ate a steamed bun tomorrow. After a long time, the brigade will not care about them.

A few years ago, when the family ran out of food, the two went to the government, and when the government was done with the relief, they went to eat the landlords, rich peasants, and counter-revolutionaries. If you don't have clothes, you are a class enemy, and you dare to dress better than the poor middle peasants? Their family is a good ingredient for eight generations of poor peasants, and they are the masters of New China! Can you still freeze and starve!?

It's just that relying on good ingredients and no face and no skin, these two girls actually live their lives like this!

But no one expected that after Song Deaf, who was over half a hundred years old, saw Xue Shuiqin, he suddenly made a fuss about marrying a daughter-in-law.

Song Deaf used to have a daughter-in-law, the daughter of a landlord who married during the land reform. He was an activist fighting the landlord at the time, and when he fell in love with other people's daughters, he fought the father fiercely, and the girl couldn't stand her father, and in order to have a good ingredient, she closed her eyes and married Song Deaf.

In less than two years, a big girl who was originally smart and bright was turned into a trance little old lady with bruises and bruises all over her body by Song and her deaf mother, and finally hanged herself in the pigsty.

Now Song Deaf has taken a fancy to Xue Shuiqin, the two of them have repeated their old tricks, one does not invite a matchmaker, and goes directly to propose marriage, one makes a fuss to the brigade, who can't understand anything, just wants to marry a daughter-in-law, if he doesn't agree, he will shout and compare, whoever gets close to beat whom, he will lie down on the spot and play tricks if he dares to do something to him.

The brigade can't do anything about this Song deaf man. Their family composition is good, even if they make a small matter, they can't mess with him, and besides, they are a deaf person who can't make sense, basically in line with the attitude that more things are better than less things, and if they can follow it, they will follow it.

On a few occasions they made a lot of noise and were sent to the commune. But the poor middle peasants did not make a mistake of principle, and the commune had no choice but to criticize the education and education, and in the end they had to take care of the two of them.

When Song Deaf's mother and son saw it, they became even more intensified.

The brigade had a real headache, and the two of them couldn't stand it, so the women's director of the brigade went to find Xue Shuiqin. A widow, and in her case, she is in a hurry to find her in-laws anyway, Song Deaf is so sincere that she wants to marry, so let's marry! What a glorious thing it is to marry a poor middle peasant!

Of course, Xue Shuiqin can carry it to death without marrying, and she can also go to the commune to cry, but her current situation cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

The deaf Song didn't play hooligan on her, and second, he didn't rob her relatives, and people came to propose marriage seriously, and she couldn't sue them for persecuting women, so she could only stare at her indescribably bitterly.

But with this two women making trouble, she doesn't want to find someone else.

Xue Shuiqin wants to cry without tears, she can't marry such a family even if she dies.

As soon as the two sides were compared, Zhou Chunliang's advantage came out. Moreover, Xue Shuiqin had met Zhou Chunliang and was very satisfied with his appearance, so Xue Shuiqin was going to marry Zhou Chunliang this time.

And you have to get married as soon as possible!

Just after the New Year, one of the younger sisters of Song Deaf's wife was seriously ill, and she wanted to see this sister, so she sent ten yuan for the journey, and Song Deaf and his mother went to visit relatives in other provinces.

Xue Shuiqin inquired, and the letter of introduction issued by the brigade to them was at the end of the first month, that is, after the first month, the Song deaf and his wife could come back.

She had to marry herself off within this month.

Therefore, Xue Shuiqin found Yang Dajiao. Of course, she can't directly say that she wants to marry Zhou Chunliang, but the conditions for her to find her in-laws are there, and the most suitable one is Zhou Chunliang.

Sure enough, Yang Dajia filtered all the widowers and singles in ten miles and eight villages, and it was quite suitable for the old Zhou family.

His family composition is not good, and he wants to marry a daughter-in-law as neat as Xue Shuiqin in the future, which is impossible. And the old Zhou family is rich! Marry a daughter-in-law who is willing to bleed this book! Xu Dali publicized the fact that their daughter-in-law spent 300 yuan on a bride price and 600 catties of grain, so that the whole commune knew about it.

Marrying a rural girl will pay so much dowry, how rich it is! Don't slaughter their house, slaughter whom!

Yang Dajia said that Xue Shuiqin is heaven and earth, beautiful and capable, not dragged, just a little girl, she can work for two years, and she can receive a bride price if she marries in the future! People are still young, and they will be able to regenerate in the future, and maybe they can add a big fat boy when they enter the door!

The most important thing is that people don't dislike your ingredients!

Yang Dajia said dryly, but the Zhou family didn't talk much. Now everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, how can they still have the heart to marry a daughter-in-law.

is Zhou Chunliang himself, who is more worried about tomorrow's criticism than about marrying a daughter-in-law.

Yang Dajia could only return disappointed. (To be continued......)
