Chapter 33: The Past
(I took off the change yesterday, and today the three changes were sent together, and I beg you to forgive the doll that didn't save the manuscript.) )
Yu Mingyue entered the wing room where the cattle were closed, and the pig, which had long sharp hairs and was not fat, howled loudly again.
She didn't want to look at the lean pig, so she hurried to the other side of the pigsty and stood on top of the pit where a few logs had been built.
Raising her hand to wipe the tears on her face vigorously, Yu Mingyue tried to suppress the desire to cry. Wang, there was still the helplessness and fear she had just recalled in her heart, which made her body tremble uncontrollably.
"With the family affection that I couldn't ask for in my previous life, and the opportunity I dreamed of, do I have to become so weak and overwhelmed by the past in my previous life? In a pig's eye! In this life, none of them are real, they are not true" Yu Mingyue muttered softly, trying to comfort herself.
suppressed the love just now, and gently rubbed her somewhat stiff face, Yu Mingyue told herself vigorously in her heart.
I was really careless just now, knowing that I shouldn't recall the past in front of adults, but I still didn't control myself and immersed myself in it. In the future, it must not be done again.
Moving the muscles of her face, Yu Mingyue tried to squeeze out a few smiles, and only after feeling satisfied did she look at the black long-haired lean pig in the pigsty that kept screaming.
The door of the east-to-west cattle wing was wide open, allowing the afternoon sun to shine in obliquely, and it also allowed Yu Mingyue to see the situation in the pigsty clearly for the first time.
"You guy, the black hair is dense but dull, and you only eat for a long time, you have worms in your stomach." After Yu Mingyue observed carefully, she summed up this sentence with certainty.
In those years, there was no feed for sale in the market, and there was no place to sell deworming medicine for livestock.
Thinking back about the situation, when she was a little depressed at first, Yu Mingyue's big eyes lit up.
In the city of Renyi District, there should be a livestock station, right? Yes, tomorrow I have to look for it, I can buy some animal deworming medicine is the best, if not, it is a big deal to spend some money, buy more "pagoda sugar" for children to deworm and eat, as long as the amount is large, it should also be used as a pig deworming medicine.
The two fat pigs in the family should also have to fight insects. They were bought back from last year's Layue, and grandma fed them twice a day until now, more than seven months, and the result is only less than 150 catties.
After making up her mind, Yu Mingyue glanced at the empty cattle pen on the other side of the door, which was half a house of dry firewood, which made her feel sour for a while, but she immediately pressed it down.
The peasants did not plough their cattle, and the labor required to dig the fields was very difficult. But as long as you take everyone to earn money early, will there be a shortage of ploughing cattle?
With an idea in her heart, Yu Mingyue didn't take a closer look, walked out of the livestock pen room, and walked directly to the stove room where laughter was heard.
"Xiaoyue, don't buy these for grandpa in the future. Your sister Xiaoyan has saved 24 yuan with me, and yours has to be saved well. Yu Tianxiang held a pair of black water shoes in his hand, smiled at his granddaughter who came in from the stove door, he was in a complicated mood, and he was relieved but sad.
I heard Kong Xiaoyu say just now that the gift he bought was agreed to by Yu Tianzhou, and when he sent it in person, the incredible Yu Tianxiang, after being excited in his heart, felt less resentful about his cousin Yu Tianzhou for many years, and gave birth to some gratitude and satisfaction.
But he knew how Yu Mingyue's money was earned by hard work, so when he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Yu Mingyue, who had just come in from the sun, felt that the light in the stove room was still a little dim, but she still saw some different colors from Yu Tianxiang's face.
Yu Mingyue thought about it and guessed a rough idea.
"Well, grandpa, Xiaoyue will work hard to save money, but Xiaoyue will still be filial to grandpa, grandparents, and grandparents in the future." Yu Mingyue said very seriously, with a sweet smile on her face.
Looking at the different faces of the adults, after she finished speaking, she continued: "Of course, Xiaoyue also has to be filial to her parents." When I bought a gift today, my grandfather and father both praised me. As he spoke, he leaned into Kong Xiaoyu's arms.
Kong Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the small stool, grinned and said, "You little sycophant, you can coax people with a sweet mouth." She couldn't cry or laugh, patted Yu Mingyue's buttocks, and hugged Yu Mingyue into her arms.
Kong Mingfu pretended to stare at him, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the child's sweet mouth, Xiaoyue is a good child who is filial and obedient, Xiaoyu, you can know the blessing." ”
For a while, on this joking topic, several people put down the bitter, sour, and unpleasant things hidden in their hearts, and laughed.
Bitterness, sourness and other things, since the past and the current situation of the three families, they all have it in their hearts, it is not surprising.
Most of the doubts in Kong Mingfu's heart were caused by Yu Mingyue, a reborn pseudo-child.
The resentment in Yu Tianxiang's heart is a thing of the past.
And the doubts in Yu Mingyue's heart, and the resentment hidden deep in her heart, against Yu Tianxiang, arose because of many truths in her previous life that she didn't know.
To solve these mysteries, you have to go from Yu Tian to your father and be the chief of Daping Township; Kong Ming's rich family was still the largest landlord in Daping Township.
Yu Tianxiang, the eldest young master of the Bao Chang's family, and Yu Tianping, the second young master, and Kong Mingfu, the fourth young master of the big landlord Kong family, have been good playmates since childhood, and when they studied together, they also became friends because of their similar personalities.
Before the Chinese New Year in 1945, Yu Baochang received a notice that he would arrest strong men before the end of the year, and everyone between the ages of 15 and 40 had to be listed, and he was asked to sort out the quota and hand it in. And this time, the silver money cannot be used to offset the quota of the strong men, so it has to be "two out of three, and one out of two".
The Yu family has always been not prosperous, and when Yu Bao was in his generation, there were only two brothers.
He was over 40 years old and had only one son and one daughter, but he had three sons. The youngest son, Yu Tianhong, is only 12 years old and not yet 15 years old, so he is not worried about being taken away. Yu Tianxiang and Yu Tianping, who studied in Kunming and returned from vacation, have reached the age of being drawn.
Yu Tianxiang and Yu Tianping were sent out of the door by their father's instructions and let them go to the mountains to hide for a while.
At this time, Kong Mingfu, because there were many brothers and sisters in the family, after only a few years of studying, he followed his elders to plant and manage the fields at home.
Yu Tianxiang and the two brothers had not yet run into the mountain, but because they were concerned about the safety of their friend's family, they turned back and notified Kong Mingfu's family.
The head of the Kong family at that time was Kong Mingfu's grandfather. He has never divided his three sons, so Kong Mingfu has two brothers, plus his six cousins, there are a full nine. Moreover, the three sons of the landlord Kong's family, all under 40, are the targets of the strong man.
The landlord felt that his family was too large and had too much influence, so he let his three grandsons, who were not yet old, also go into hiding. Therefore, 12 people from the two generations of the Kong family brought dry food and followed the two Yu brothers into the mountain overnight.
When the New Year in 1945 was getting closer and closer, the Yu brothers, who had been hiding for a few days, thought at this time that they might have caused trouble for their old father, who was the chief of the body.
As soon as the two Yu brothers quietly summed up, they decided to go home to see the situation.
In that war-torn era, a small security chief, even if he had some personal relations with the above, could have any other way than to cooperate with a troubled conscience in the major matter of the military's request to draw strong men.
And after the Kong brothers left, Kong Mingfu's aunt was big-mouthed, and she went out to shout indiscriminately, and the whole Daping Township was in chaos for a while, even if there was only one son in the family, they all sent their sons to hide in the mountains.
When the army came to arrest people and found nothing, they came down, and Yu Baochang's family also suffered because of something.
Although there were acquaintances above who pleaded for mercy and gave heavy gifts, Yu Baochang was not arrested and killed. But the company commander who was responsible for arresting Ding in Daping Township received a lot of money and gifts, but he didn't care about the crying and begging of the Yu family, and he was about to leave after arresting Yu Tianhong, who was only 12 years old.
Yu Tianxiang is bold and careful, but Yu Tianping is a cow. When their brothers returned home to the hill, they happened to see soldiers standing in front of the Yu family, crying and pulling shouts, which made the front of the Yu family a mess.
The reckless Yu Tianping, despite Yu Tianxiang's dissuasion, rushed back home. Yu Tianxiang was helpless, so he had to follow back.
It is conceivable that the three brothers of the Yu family were all arrested by the company commander who came in a rage.
Fortunately, at this time, the landlord of Confucius got the letter, and after knowing the whole story, he knew that this matter had become like this, and it was because of his family. He didn't care about punishing his eldest daughter-in-law, and after sending a heavy gift to the top, he took his family's five thousand silver dollars and went directly to Yu Baochang's house.
With a large amount of money as a gift, and the acquaintances of the Yu Kong family in the government, this matter should be settled.
But the company commander who came to arrest the strong man, but only caught the three Yu brothers, but because of his grievances, he insisted on asking Yu Baochang to pick out one of the three sons who were being imprisoned to stay, and he could only choose two sons to bring back.
Yu Tianxiang, who has always been responsible, did not embarrass his father and took the initiative to stand up. Yu Tianping regretted not being at the beginning, knowing that if he went, ten out of ten would die, so he competed with his brother for this "place" on the grounds that he had always been good at snatching knives.
Yu Baochang knew in his heart that this was the company commander who had not been recruited, and felt that this matter was a shame, and he took revenge on his family. Although he was heartbroken and bitter, he was helpless, and finally agreed to his second son's request.
Although the Yu Kong family also did their best to do their best, but as expected earlier, less than ten days later, Yu Tianping, who was taken away, didn't even have a chance to wear a military uniform to rob him, so he took the title of a XX Party soldier, and died in vain.
