That night, Zhou Chunfa's family did not return. The anger of the Zhou family's dinner was dull and depressed, with a strange caution, it seems that everyone thinks that today's incident is related to Huang Daxian'er.

This is exactly what Zhou Wanwan wants to achieve, the Zhou family believes that all this is done by Huang Daxian'er, then she has a cover for everything she will do in the future, and she also wants to plant a seed in the heart of the Zhou family, and be careful of retribution for doing too many evil things.

Zhou Wanwan didn't expect this incident to deter the Zhou family and make them have scruples in the future. She just wants these people to suffer not only physical pain and life difficulties when they are retaliated against by her in the future, but also bear a psychological fear.

While sleeping, Zhou Yang discussed with Zhou Chen, "Can this really be Huang Daxian'er's manifestation?" So what are you looking for? She's still a child, what do you know? ”

"Retribution, who knows! Maybe I'll report it to someone in the family. Zhou Chen hugged his sister tightly, and he didn't let go of his hand this afternoon, "Anyway, we're not afraid, we don't do anything wrong, and we don't have anyone on the top of anyone's heart, so we can't find us." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Yang agreed, and after a while, Zhou Wanwan thought he was asleep, and he said in a low voice: "If there is retribution, the one who reported our mother should also be retributed." ”

Zhou Chen didn't speak, but his breathing paused. The brothers stopped talking, but Zhou Wanwan knew that they hadn't fallen asleep for a long time.

I didn't know much about my mother in my past life and in my current life. In her previous life, the family was secretive, and the eldest brother rarely told her. In this life, Zhou Wanwan also pieced together some of the situation from the brothers' words.

At that time, Zhou Wanwan was only three months old, and her mother's milk had not completely dried up, so she could still eat a few bites a day. Therefore, although the mother went to work in the field after confinement, she refused to wean her, and ran back to feed her every day while the production team was taking advantage of the lunch break. Fortunately, the captain is still generous to the mothers of several nursing children, and he never pursues it when he comes back for a short time, and the people in the team are all villagers who have worked together for many years, and no one will have any opinion on this little thing.

Until the county's working group went to the countryside and came to the Erdaokan Brigade. It is said that the working group this time has representatives sent from above, and they are very strict, and several other brigades have caught typical examples of sabotaging the first and second public officials, and they should concentrate on the township meeting to criticize them.

Originally, this had nothing to do with Li Xiuhua, the old captain had already said hello, and several women didn't dare to go back to breastfeed their children these days, so they had to endure until the working group left. However, the day after the team gave white noodles to several lactating women, Li Xiuhua was reported. Saying that she avoided labor, others worked, and she went home to feed her children was a serious selfish act, which brought about the atmosphere of building a people's commune and undermined the first and second public affairs.

The working group came down to investigate, and no one knew who they had approached to understand the situation, only that Li Xiuhua had been taken away and was criticized at the township meeting the next day. The old captain went to intercede, and then he was punished with labor, and was sent to dig a tree pit for three days before he could be released. However, this time, Li Xiuhua never came back.

Zhou Wanwan has always wanted to know who has so much hatred for her mother and wants to stab her in the back like this. In the past and present lives, except for Mrs. Zhou, everyone has an excellent evaluation of their mother, ingenious, kind and diligent. But Mrs. Zhou loves face so much, she shouldn't smear the face of the Zhou family. If she is dissatisfied with Li Xiuhua, she can use her mother-in-law to suppress her at home, where do you need to borrow the hand of the working group.

And Mrs. Zhou didn't even want to step out of the door easily, she wouldn't have the courage to report to the working group, and Li Xiuhua was criticized, which would not only ruin the reputation of the Zhou family, but also earn a lot less work.

So, who reported the mother? Zhou Wanwan was also as confused as her two elder brothers.

The next day, Zhou Ling returned. She suddenly fell unconscious, and then woke up without warning, so strange that even the doctor at the clinic thought that she had touched something "unclean". The first thing she did when she came back, Mrs. Zhou and Wang Fengying took her to kowtow in front of Huang Daxian'er's tablet, and several people worshiped Huang Daxian'er in the warehouse to worship the ancestral tablet, and they were busy for half a morning.

When she came out again, Zhou Ling was not in the mood to trouble Zhou Wanwan, and all her attention was on the red marks on her face. The doctor couldn't see what was wrong, and seeing that she didn't hurt or itch, he let her go home and observe for two days. In the end, Dr. Cui prescribed a bottle of purple potion at Wang Fengying's strong request.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the purple and black pieces on Zhou Ling's face after applying the purple potion, and she didn't laugh when she held back, she remembered Qian Yan's feet, this purple potion is really omnipotent, curing all diseases!

Zhou Ling is fine, and the life of the Zhou family has returned to its previous pace. As for the red marks on her face, they haven't attracted enough attention now, and everyone thinks that it will disappear in two days, isn't it smeared with medicine.

With the warmer weather, there were a few more spring rains, seeing that soybeans, millet, and millet all fell to the ground, with these spring rains, the emergence of seedlings was guaranteed, and the people who were almost desperate in the drought finally saw hope clearly, and many things that had been put on hold in the village because of hunger were gradually on the right track. The first thing that was taken seriously was the school.

The village primary school has been closed for more than a year. There is only one principal and one teacher Li in the school who are public teachers, and the other teachers are all private teachers recommended from the eight production teams under the Erdaokan Brigade. After the disaster, they couldn't get their salaries, and the students were so hungry that they couldn't walk, so they couldn't go to class. The township made a decision, and all primary schools in the township were temporarily suspended. This stop has been stopped for more than a year.

Now I finally see real hope, although there is still a shortage of materials, but the township has pieced together and paid a month's salary to private teachers, and the school can finally resume classes.

The tuition fee for primary school students was six yuan a year, which was really a lot of money for the rural areas at that time. Add two cents for a pencil and five cents for an exercise book, and a child will get about seven or eight dollars in school last year.

Taking the most normal year as an example, a labor force who earns first-class work can earn about 3,000 points of work without delaying a day's work throughout the year. Before the disaster, the Erdaokan Brigade paid about two cents per worker, that is, it could get about 60 yuan.

According to the calculation of eight taels of grain per person per day, it can be divided into about 300 catties of grain a year. The production team is divided into coarse grains with shells, which are generally about eight cents a catty, and a person's grain money for a year is 23 or 4 yuan.

If a couple has three children, at this time, this is still a family with few children. Of course, many people have many children, but the older children are able to work and earn work, which can also reduce the burden on the family.

A husband and wife's total annual income is only 110 yuan, and the annual ration of the whole family of five is about 120 yuan, which means that there is still a possibility that the production team owes money to receive enough food for a year, and where can they get 7 or 8 yuan for their children to go to school.

Therefore, as far as the Erdaokan Brigade is concerned, the enrollment rate of school-age children is still very low. Moreover, Zhou Wanwan estimated that the situation in other places at this time was similar.

Of course, this algorithm is not absolute, it is possible that in a good year, the production team will receive some more grain, and one work point can be counted as a few cents more. But it is also possible that the year is not good, and the food is not enough at all, not to mention the money, the food that the family gets a year is only enough to eat for half a year, and the remaining half a year's deficit has to be filled with wild vegetables, sweet potatoes, potatoes, not to mention going to school.

The situation of the Zhou family is not bad in Sanjiatun or even the entire Erdaokan brigade. The Zhou family has a lot of labor, take 1957 before the disaster, the Zhou family has eleven laborers in three generations, the four sons and Zhou Fu earn first-class work, the old man Zhou, the three daughters-in-law and Zhou Ping and Zhou Juan earn second-class work, the Zhou family's income that year is more than 590 yuan, except for a family of 18 plus Zhou Hongxiang's mother and son, a total of 22 people's rations of 514 yuan, the Zhou family can also get back more than 70 yuan from the team. Although the more than 70 yuan includes the clothes, shoes and socks, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar of the eighteen members of the Zhou family throughout the year, personal contacts, sick medicine, children and relatives, and other miscellaneous expenses, it is much better than those who have received rations and still owe money to the team.

Of course, this is calculated according to a good year, there have been two or three years, the production team has no money to pay, and the work earned is in vain, so it can only hold on, stay up, and pray for a good year next year.

Although they have survived like this, the Zhou family can still afford to send their children to school, of course, not all children. Zhou Juan, Zhou Fu, and Zhou Ping, the older ones, were still at school age and were still in turmoil, so there was no way. When it was time for Zhou Jun to go to school, Wang Fengying chased Mantunzi with a big wicker and refused to go to school, and in the end he had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Yang has loved to work since he was a child, and he is very good at working, so Mrs. Zhou never thought about letting him go to school at all, an old farmer who is destined to face the loess with his back to the sky all his life, what is the waste of that money when he goes to school? But Li Xiuhua didn't think so, she still sent Zhou Yang to school under the curse of Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou didn't give her tuition, so she went to ask the old captain to give him a certificate, owe it first, and then give it when the autumn team sends money. At this time, some families really don't have the money to pay for their children's tuition, so that's what they do. When the production team pays the money, the child's tuition is directly taken from the team to the school, and it is impossible to repay the debt.
