Liu Cuihua hugged Xing Er and cried for help, hiding behind Xing Er and not daring to show her head.

Xing Er pointed at his eldest brother and shouted in a deep voice: "Put down the stick!" It's not okay to mess around with me, if it weren't for my brother's sake, I would have to call the police station to arrest me. Do you know what this place is? This is a subordinate unit of the county, and it is against you. Dare to go wild here, this is the unit, understand? ”

Doll went over and snatched the stick and threw it on the ground. Xing Er said to Liu Cuihua, who was crying: "Sister-in-law, you are crying." He raised his hand to greet Xing Da: "Sit down and drink something, no outsiders." Xing Da was also polite, and sat in the position where Xing Erfang was sitting. Liu Cuihua sat next to Duo'er. Xing Er moved a seat by himself and sat next to Aunt Qi. Directly opposite his eldest brother, he personally poured a glass of wine for his eldest brother, handed it to his eldest brother, and persuaded him: "Big brother, big brother, you have not been reluctant to fight since you married my sister-in-law for so many years, today the sun came out in the west, and she even cried and screamed, is it pretending?" Our old Xing family has never had a tradition of beating his wife. It's over, I'm talking about things on a blind date, so that you can make peace, and this family affair must be finished. ”

Xing Da hurriedly argued: "Second brother, I didn't mean to make trouble, you said that the land was divided, and each family and eight immortals crossed the sea, and each showed its ability." The neighbors all want to go out and earn money. I can't do it, bricklayers can't do it, carpentry and carpentry can't work, I can't strike iron, I can't use empty strength. I'm bored and panicked tonight, drink some wine at home to drown my sorrows, I don't want this cheap thing to nag endlessly, so I hit her when I'm angry. ”

Liu Cuihua wiped her tears and said, "Since I entered the Xing family, I didn't dare to stay idle for a day." At that time in the production team, housewives in the same situation as me earned their share of work and counted me as one. After the land was divided, I was also diligent, hardworking, and working harder for my own family. Your eldest brother is going to drink tonight, and I'm busy arguing with him two eggs. I didn't say anything else, I just said let him think about making money. As soon as he got tired of hearing this, he beat me. ”

Daddy Niu said: "It's not right to beat your wife, drink a bar, and talk slowly if you have something to say." ”

Xing Da didn't appreciate Daddy Niu: "Brother Niu, dare to love you calmly, take sixty yuan a month." Standing and talking does not hurt your back. Listening to what he meant, he was a little dissatisfied with Xing Er's recruitment of Daddy Niu to enter the field to work. Aunt Qi was clever, and she immediately said, "Okay, fertilizer and water can't flow into outsiders' fields." In the past, we paid attention to fighting tiger brothers and father-son soldiers. Tomorrow I will quit my job and leave the seat for your own brothers. After finishing speaking, he got up to leave, Xing Erqiang pressed her to the seat and said, "Aunt Seven, what are you doing, don't say that my eldest brother came in to work alone." Five more isn't enough. I can get my hands on the chair in the county government, and in addition, Mr. Ma also needs to make some furniture and medicine cabinets and other things. There is also the director of the county woodware factory, Wang, who is also my third brother, who also sent a letter to ask me to discuss, I guess he wants to develop new products with me. In the future, I plan to change this cattle farm into a carpentry factory, and do it vigorously. ”

When everyone heard that Xing Er had such a big mind, they admired him and applauded and cheered for him. Tian Baobao's face was flushed with excitement, she was full of affection, and her eyes were staring at Xing Er and she couldn't move away. Watching his every move carefully, I felt comforted.

When Xing Da and his family heard that Xing Er allowed him to work in the cattle farm, they were overjoyed. The hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he no longer worried about being turned away. Liu Cuihua didn't hurt anymore after being beaten. Only then did she notice that there was a beautiful girl sitting next to Duo'er, so she asked, "This girl is the second brother's new daughter-in-law, right?" It didn't matter if she asked, Tian Baobao made a big red face.

The seventh aunt hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "This is my maiden niece, called Tian Baobao, who once told your brother about her marriage." Someone smashed it. Say your brother has hypochondriasis, heart disease, syphilis, etc. Anyway, there are all kinds of diseases that can be said. Do you say that people are angry? ”

Xing stomped his feet magnificently: "This goddamn bastard is talking nonsense, find out that I have to peel her skin and cramp, so vicious, corrupt my brother, this is a curse for him to die early." ”

Liu Cuihua said: "Phew, you can't speak. What are you afraid of him? One curse is prosperous for ten years, and the two brothers are hard, and they resist the curse. Dol, who is that man? ”

Duo'er hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Liu Xiangzhi and her mother in the west, on the day of my brother's blind date, lying on the wall and talking nonsense. ”

Liu Cuihua: "Oh, it's the daughter-in-law in front of your brother." Duo'er tugged at the corner of her sister-in-law's clothes: "What is the daughter-in-law in front of you?" One was not registered, the other was not a ceremony, and the marriage broke up in less than a day, and he couldn't be called a daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Cuihua glanced at Tian Baobao, who was lowering her head, and hurriedly changed her words; "Yes, yes. Not a daughter-in-law. A family of women is mentioned by hundreds of families, and men are the same, and it is common for young men to marry daughters-in-law. She stared at Aunt Qi and continued: "It's Aunt Qi's heart, my brother is so good and has such a big career, he should find a good girl who is smart and smart." ”

The seventh aunt said: "Your brother is excellent, and my niece is not bad." When it comes to talent and appearance, that's one in a hundred, and it's still a high school student. can write and calculate, live at home, and must be a good hand. As the saying goes, you can't eat poorly, you can't drink poorly, and if you can't calculate, you will be poor. ”

Xing Da hurriedly agreed: "That's, that's." Aunt Seven went out in person, and she is her niece, she must not be wrong, come, I will toast you. Aunt Qi was not polite, picked up the wine glass in front of her, touched the glass with Xing Da, and the two drank it all. That action is quite heroic.

After dinner, Xing Er pulled the corner of Tian Baobao's clothes, and the two of them understood, walked out of the gate of the cattle farm, stepped on the silver moonlight, one after the other, and walked lightly to the bottom of the hill not far from the east of the cattle farm, and sat on a very large stone, which has a name called "masonry". After sitting down, Tian Baobao asked Xing Er: "The peach blossom luck is not shallow, the daughter-in-law was quite infatuated with you before, let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Xing Er sighed helplessly: "It's a long story, it stands to reason that Liu Xiangzhi and I are also childhood sweethearts, and the two of them have no guesses." Earlier, both of them were farmers, and their shoulders were generally high, so they were married. There is an old revolutionary in my village, who is a representative of the Association of the Poor, and she has a daughter named Hong Xing, who wants to marry me. To be honest, Hong Xing's name is good, but in fact, he lacks heart and eyes, and he is a little half-hearted. She said that she was my daughter-in-law, and she clamored to marry me every day. Liu Xianzhi listened to it ugly, so he quarreled with her. On the night of my marriage, I agreed to register tomorrow. The result fell short. It turned out to be Hong Xing's mother's troublemaker. She hated me for not marrying her daughter, but for asking for Liu marriage. She used a poisonous trick to give a recruitment form to Liu Xiangzhi and let her become a worker. She kicked me. Aunt Seven saw that I was real, so she introduced you to me, and on the day you came to my house for a blind date, it was just in time for the fertilizer factory to be decentralized to both workers and farmers. Liu Xianzhi's status as a worker is not guaranteed, and he wants to reconcile with me when he looks back. As soon as she saw that you were beautiful and stronger than her, she was afraid that the two of us would really become it, so the two of them lay on the wall together to make trouble. A few days after you left, the county organic amine and fertilizer plant were merged, and those who were originally planned to be decentralized, both workers and farmers, were no longer decentralized. Liu Xianzhi unexpectedly retained her position as a worker. Even if you don't even mention the matter of reconciling with me, and there has been no movement until now, do you think, can the dignified working class find a peasant? That's the truth, please be clear. ”

Tian Baobao said: "You are also honest. Let's talk about the chairs. Principal Xu also has a small auditorium there, so doesn't he need a chair? After this batch of work is done, you have to go to Principal Xu's house to contact your feelings. Good is good, and things are good. I judge that if you don't go to contact the petition, after this batch of work is done, there will be carpentry work; It's nothing to do with you. On the way, I heard the driver say that in the future, the school will develop greatly and build a teaching building. After the building is built, it will be used as either a classroom or a dormitory. The dormitory is with bunk beds. As for the classroom, you need to use desks and chairs, think about it. It's important to do business. Don't panic about finding a daughter-in-law. Imagine that if you have money in your hands and become a factory owner, what kind of daughter-in-law is not easy to find? When the time comes, I may be able to find a female college student. ”

Tian Baobao's words made Xing Ermao pause, and these words have profound truth, foresight, and height. Xing Er admired it in his heart. He excitedly grabbed her hand and praised her: "Yes, in the past, I only thought that I could do things by feelings, but I only understood what you said." Feelings without a material foundation can't last. It's okay to help once or twice, but it's definitely not okay in the long run. If you don't want to make a profit, who wants to get up five times in the morning? Tomorrow I will visit Brother Xu's house, and he will be at home on Sunday. You go with me. If something is wrong, remind me at any time. In the past half a day's work, you can also see that I have little culture and shallow pool. In case of trouble, he will not improvise. You are a staff officer by my side. There is hope for this cause.

Tian Baobao said: "You are too polite, I am not Zhuge Liang, don't count on me." I'm going home tomorrow for a blind date. ”

When Xing Er heard that Tian Baobao was going back on a blind date, he was a little anxious, and immediately took over the conversation and said, "Isn't this just with me?" You and Duo'er live in a room, stay here for a few days first, help me sort out the affairs of the wood factory, and then it's not too late for you to go on a blind date. It's a formality to go back, isn't it quite suitable for me to be a man? What's the head? You, marry me directly. The main thing is that my career can't do without you. In the future, as soon as the wood factory expanded its production, the accounts increased, and it was to collect money and buy materials, and the wages had to be calculated one by one. I want to do how much work, how much wages I get, and how much I get paid. Those with more skills earn more, and those with low skills take less money. Eat according to your ability. The production team's kind of big pot rice is not good. If you want that kind of business style, my wood factory can't even open it for half a year, so it has to be broken. ”

Tian Baobao added: "The key is quality. It's not okay if you can't grasp the quality. It's tinkering in front of you, it doesn't matter. If you really want to make a chair, it's all newly bought wood. If you make a bad one, I'm afraid that you won't be able to earn the cost of this scrap if you make three good tables. I remind you that if you want to make money, you can't show personal affection in terms of quality, brothers settle accounts, father and son are separated, property is separated, and you can't make money if you don't have a hard heart. You have to be iron-faced and selfless. Be aware that wasted wood is your money. Xing Er patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think about it in this depth." Wow, I can't live without you anymore. Baby, come and kiss me and reward me. As he spoke, he straightened his neck and leaned over to kiss Tian Baobao. Tian Baobao flashed to the side, but Xing Er didn't kiss him. Two people were playing in circles around the masonry. One runs, one chases, and the crisp laughter of "giggles" echoes in the quiet night sky.

Niu Er has been looking for his father everywhere without success, and he can't unsolve the knots in his heart, so he bows his head and doesn't say anything to his father and mother all day long. I don't even go out to work. Since the division of the land, the old revolutionary is small and has no ability to work, and when the production team is there, she relies on the cadres of the team to take a wooden pole out all day long to check the quality of the work of the members, and mix up the labor force of the strong laborers. Now as soon as the production team is dispersed, she is unemployed. She was a professional revolutionary who lived on class struggle. Now the shape shì has been transformed into each taking care of each family. His career fell short, no one listened to her reprimand, and no one asked her to be a leader. She had no choice but to squat at home, looking at the roof beams, sighing and frowning. followed the county magistrate Hong to hoe wheat, worked for a long time, and didn't even do one-tenth of her man's work, so he was angry with himself, threw the hoe and ran home. Sitting on the edge of the kang in a daze with tears in his eyes. Hong Xing went back to her parents' house and told about Niu Er's drill of the horns, and her eyes lit up. Think of a clever idea right away. Niu Er and his father and mother couldn't pee in the same pot, so they separated the family as soon as possible, and the province delayed their lives. Her idea is right in her daughter's heart! County Magistrate Hong saw that his son-in-law Niu Er was a typical tendon, and he walked to the dark one by one, without touching the south wall and not looking back. I had no choice but to vacate the two rooms that were used as warehouses for him to live in. Fortunately, at this time, Lu Xing had already participated in the work and went to the county wood factory to go to the spot, which was the recruitment index given by the Civil Affairs Bureau to take care of the children of the martyrs of the old revolutionary. Since Niu Er moved into his father-in-law's house, he has been much more honest in front of his mother-in-law. In the past, when the production team was in the past, he was arranged by the old revolution to work, and he didn't dare to be lazy.

The county magistrate Hong treated Niu Er very well, the two of them went uphill to work together, and went home for dinner at night, and the two of them were happy to have two cups. Since her son and daughter-in-law Hong Xing moved away, Aunt Niu felt quite comfortable at first, but after a long time, she felt that something was wrong. The money accumulated in the hand is spent less and less, look at the neighbors to know that the world has changed, the surrounding people are trying to make money, others dare not compare, the cow that was kicked out by her foot is big, and now it is also living a good life, the first grain is abundant, relying on the cattle farm has a tractor, farming is not worried. The monthly salary of 60 yuan for the guard of Xing Er Wood Factory is a little less than that of a commune secretary. A blessing in disguise. The blind goods kicked out were turned into gold by the matchmaker's seventh aunt, and they earned more money than a strong old man, don't you think it's strange? She thought again: No, she is the wife he is marrying. back then

However, there are legal couples with witnesses. The second father of Niu was piggybacked later, and he can't be regarded as an authentic man, at most he is a gangster. It's still Niu Da who is at home. Even if Niuda is a legal couple, then the money earned by Niuda should be handed over to himself, not to the matchmaker. I am the one who is right. No way! I have to ask Niu Da for money. Aunt Qi and Niu Da are at best mutual aid groups Guan Ito, and they have shared a bed with him for decades.

Aunt Niu went to the cattle farm to find Niu Da, and happened to call Aunt Qi to meet, the two were talking, Aunt Qi used to sarcastically say: "It's only been a few days since I left, and I chased him to the field, why can't a man be fed?" ”

The second aunt of Niu did not show weakness: "The cattle are fed in the cattle farm, how can I hear the elephant mother and donkey barking, is it the back of my ear?" ”

The seventh aunt ignored her, walked up to Niu Da and said: "Niu Da, I said ugly things in front, if you want to go back with her to enjoy happiness, it's okay, but there is one, when we were together, I already had three chapters of the law, the first is not to mix with the Niu family, if you break the rules, I won't spare you." It's easy to walk and it's hard to come back, and it's hard to go to the sky. You are in charge of your affairs, weigh which kang is hot, you can do it yourself. After speaking, Aunt Qi was no longer entangled with Niu Da. Turn your head and go back to the room to cook on the fire.

Aunt Niu took a small sip at her back and said, "I'm looking for my man to go home, what's the matter with you?" What's in your way? Little father, come home with me after work, and from now on we will live wholeheartedly. You earn money, I farm, I have food, drink and money to spend. How comfortable it is. I'll get you a pot of Bailiang Spring Shochu every night, so that you can relieve your fatigue and go home? ”

Xing Da interjected next to him and said: "Niu Da, don't miss the opportunity to get off the donkey on the slope." Reuniting with your wife is the right thing to do. ”

Duo'er reminded Daddy Niu: "You have to be firm in your stance, and you can forget the pain when you have a good scar." How did you brave the snow to come to the cattle farm in the first place? Besides, isn't Niu's second father still in that home? There are no two tigers in one mountain, Daddy Niu, you have to be cautious, don't make a mistake and hate it for thousands of years. ”

Aunt Niu squinted at Duo'er and said, "A girl's family, who has never been married, how can she know that the husband and wife are deeply in love?" ”

Duo'er snorted: "I don't know the deep love between the husband and wife, I just saw someone brave the heavy snow to go to the cattle farm, and it tastes good to be kicked, right?" The second father of the cow is not a good stubble. ”

Aunt Niu argued: "That Niu Er is a gangster, not my man at all." She turned to Niu Da: "Don't worry, as long as you go home to sleep, I will immediately quit the guy who pulled the gang." Don't worry, I said I would do it. ”

Daddy Niu squatted on the ground, hesitating. He turned his head to look at Aunt Qi who was cooking in the room, a little reluctant, but he couldn't stand the offensive of the wife in front of him. I've been used to listening to her give orders all my life, and I'm not used to it at first. Until the sun went down, Aunt Niu kept forcing Daddy Niu to comply. Seeing that the other workers had put down their tools and went home, Aunt Niu grabbed Niu by the arm and dragged him home. The two dragged out of the cattle farm gate. The seventh aunt came out of the room, stomped her feet and scolded Niu Da: "Soft bones, I treat you sincerely in vain." If you don't take the big road, you just want to go back and jump into the dry well, I won't stop you! ”

Aunt Niu said to her: "I pulled my man home, do you care?" If you feel uncomfortable, you will climb the pepper tree. ”

Tian Baobao said: "Auntie, let him go." Tomorrow Daddy Niu will kneel in front of you and confess his sins. The woman is here for the money, let's see, Daddy Niu can't stand it in the second half of the night, come back for dinner. ”

Niu Da was pulled out of the cattle farm. Walking out of the distance, I couldn't stop looking back at the cattle farm. Just like that, he was dragged away. Stumbled back home. The second father of Niu is eating. Aunt Niu instructed, "You go to your son's house first." Just as the family is back, you gangster stand aside. Mo affected my life. ”

Second Father Niu suddenly stood up and asked loudly, "What? Call me a gangster, no. ”

Aunt Niu said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, and you dare to talk back?" Get out of that house. Although Niu's second father was angry, he didn't dare to disobey the order. I had to put down my rice bowl, roll up his bed, and reluctantly walk out of the house. Aunt Niu pressed Niu Da on the square table and sat down, quickly made a few side dishes, and scalded a pot of wine. put it in front of Niu Da, and said coquettishly: "Little father, drink, I will serve you in the future." ”

Niu Da drank a pot of wine and fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that Aunt Niu hadn't slept yet, and was rummaging through his pockets to find money. She searched very carefully, searched every pocket, found no trace of money, and touched the waistband of cotton trousers with her hands, for fear that Niu Da would sew a lot of money into the waistband of her trousers. Even the corners of the trousers and each piece of clothing, Aunt Niu didn't let go, but she still couldn't find the money. She tilted her head and pondered: Where can this old ghost hide his money? Daddy Niu woke up just in time, and she asked sharply: "You tell me honestly, where did the salary go?" “

Niu Da whispered, "In the hands of Aunt Qi." ”

"Wow, if you have money, you don't take it home, but give it to the matchmaker, get up, follow me and ask her to come back. Do you remember, after earning money, you will hand it over to me, you understand? ”

Daddy Niu nodded helplessly. At dawn, Aunt Niu hastily had breakfast and escorted Daddy Niu to the cattle farm. As soon as he saw Xing Er, he beckoned Xing Er over and instructed: "Er, in the future, my family will pay a lot of wages, don't give it to him, and don't let the woman next to him take it riskily, I'll take it." ”

Xing Er didn't talk to her and asked Tian Baobao to talk to her. He himself went to the room to eat and ignored the fierce woman.

Tian Baobao said: "There is no need to receive the money and those procedures, Daddy Niu left his post last night without permission, and was dismissed by Boss Xing, in the first half of the night because he was unguarded, he lost three big boards, and his errand of guarding the door has been replaced by others." His salary in the past few days is not enough to offset the three big boards he lost. You'll have to put some more money into the factory. Daddy Niu, your bedding and the pig iron kettle, dried sweet potatoes and other things have been packed up for you, take them and go. Go home with your wife so that you can live that happy life. As she was talking, Aunt Qi and Duo'er handed the cover and other things through the crack in the door and handed them to Daddy Niu. Daddy Niu's hands trembled, and he took his belongings and carried them on his shoulders. Two lines of tears burst out of their eyes.

The seventh aunt said: "You don't remember to eat and beat, you deserve to end up like this, whoever pities you is unlucky." ”

Aunt Niu couldn't believe her ears, Niu Da was fired? That is to say, if you can't make money in the future, even if you don't make money, what's the use of asking him? If the adoptive master is gone, it won't be his turn, and the head of the family is not easy to arrange. Thinking of this, she didn't say a word, ran away, and told Niu Da: "Don't go home, you won't be allowed to enter my house when you go back." This matter made a fuss, and almost made him rely on it. I don't have anything to feed the idlers. After saying that, he slipped away.

The cow was in a dilemma, cornered, and sat on the ground, at a loss.
