Chapter 023: Aunt Liu'er's Worries
The peach blossom was so smoked that she coughed for a while, and then she used the topic to play "woo woo" and cried bitterly.
Aunt Liu, the mother-in-law, didn't know what Peach Blossom was thinking, thinking that she was frightened by the fire or burned by the fire, so she hurriedly stepped forward to ask, and comforted and asked, "What's wrong?" I'll see if it's hot? ”
My father-in-law also asked loudly in the house, "Is it hot?" We also have red plum paste at home, just a wipe is enough. ”
Sure enough, Peach Blossom's hand was smoked red, so that the cause of what had just happened was concealed. The mother-in-law only cared about being distressed and caring about whether her daughter-in-law was hurt, and she didn't notice the change in Peach Blossom's expression at all, let alone know what was going on in her heart?
Peach Blossom cried happily, and her mother-in-law quickly took the ointment and applied it to the back of her red and swollen hand without bandaging.
After a while, Peach Blossom stopped crying, and her mother-in-law asked, "How is it?" Does it still hurt? ”
She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, it hurt a lot just now, but it doesn't hurt at all now." ”
The mother-in-law said, "Go and rest, and I'll just cook this by myself." ”
Peach Blossom said, "How can I be so squeamish? I'll go and hold firewood to light the fire, mother, you can make noodles. ”
Peach Blossom quickly picked up some dry firewood and re-lit the fire. After a while, the pot was hot, and she said to her mother-in-law, "It's time to make cakes." ”
Liu Qiaoxian picked up the big dough cake that had been rolled out and put it in the pot, and Peach Blossom said, "Mother, you go and roll it, I'll just come and see it." ”
Liu Qiaoxian said uneasily: "Be careful not to burn it anymore, you don't need a big fire, just a small fire." ”
"I know." Peach Blossom continued what she had just said and asked her mother-in-law, "What did my mother ask me to guess just now?" ”
When Aunt Liu heard Peach Blossom's question, she laughed "poof", she said: "I mean, if your classmate Cuihua can really become a family with Naughty Er, she will definitely be able to give Naughty Children two big fat boys." ”
Peach Blossom asked, "How does my mother know that she will be able to give birth to a child?" ”
Liu Qiaoxian gestured and said: "I took a closer look at Cuihua, her big body, big and warped buttocks, she was born with the material to give birth to children, she will be able to give birth to a lot of children." ”
Peach Blossom laughed when she heard this, she said: "Mother, you are so funny, now, in our countryside, no matter how much you can give birth, you can only barely have a second child, family planning is so tight, who dares to have more?" Don't talk about the fine, if you don't get it right, you will be criticized if you open a criticism fight. ”
"Yo, I forgot about this stubble, but I didn't mean that I really told her to give birth so much, I meant that she would definitely be able to give birth. If Cuihua and Naughty are really successful, the Liu family will also count on Naughty them to continue the incense. "Aunt Liu only cared about dynamic lyricism, but did not take into account the feelings of peach blossoms.
Mother-in-law's words deeply pierced Peach Blossom's heart, she remembered that Naughty had just spoken to her, although she did not agree to Naughty's unreasonable request at that time, but at this time, when the mother-in-law mentioned that she wanted to introduce Cuihua to him, a sour vinegar surged into her heart for a while, and she always felt uncomfortable.
She couldn't tell why she felt this way. She asked herself in her heart: Does naughty have anything to do with your peach blossom? What is the relationship between the two of you? People are okay with you, but you don't want to, people are going to marry their daughters-in-law, but what kind of vinegar do you eat?
And then she and Dajun have been married for almost a year, and she still hasn't been able to conceive a son and a half daughter for the Liu family, her mother-in-law begged her grandson to be anxious, and she wanted to go to great lengths to continue the incense of the Liu family, and even wanted her daughter-in-law to borrow seeds to have children, of course, the premise is that you are only allowed to have a child, which means that if you have a child, you will also borrow the blood of the Liu family and the seed of the Liu family.
Peach Blossom thought: It's not my fault that I don't have children, fortunately, otherwise, my mother-in-law may not be able to complain about me Peach Blossom.
The more Peach Blossom thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and she secretly shed tears again.
"What's the matter, Peach Blossom? Why are you crying again? The mother-in-law turned her face to find that she was silently wiping away tears.
She hurriedly covered up her defense and said, "No, I was squinted by the smoke that was sprayed out just now." ”
Looking at the sun, it was already noon, and the army also pulled an empty car back home, he put down the car and asked, "Is there any cooked rice?" I was drunk and hungry. ”
After the army entered the house, he reached out and scooped a scoop of cold water to drink, Aunt Liu hurriedly snatched the scoop in his hand when she saw it, and said in a loud voice: "Ouch, my little ancestor, you can't drink cold water, there is a cold white open in the house, and it is still gentle, you can pour it yourself." ”
"Hey, I'm thirsty." The army grinned and went into the back room.
Aunt Liu asked Dajun, "You came back by yourself, naughty?" Why didn't he come over for dinner? ”
"Oh, he came back a long time ago, after he left, I helped Lijuan's family load the car before rushing back, he said to pull the sweet potatoes to the house and come over immediately. Or Peach Blossom will call him. ”
Peach Blossom said, "I'm burning the fire, you can call him for a while." ”
Liu Qiaoxian knew why Peach Blossom was reluctant to call Naughty, she said: "Forget it, I'll talk about it later, it's not too late for Naughty to call him if he doesn't come." ”
Coincidentally, Liu Haitao really knows how to pinch the time, and he came as soon as lunch was made.
The whole family put the dishes on the table, and Peach Blossom wanted to go to serve her father-in-law for dinner, but was stopped by Aunt Liu, who said while serving food to her wife: "You eat your together, or I'll come." ”
Only the two of them were left in the outhouse to sit around the dinner table, and Naughty and Peach Blossom deliberately avoided each other's gaze, which was very embarrassing for a while.
I only heard Liu Haitao say: "By the way, auntie, I met our captain just now, and he asked me to tell you that a representative from each household will go to the production team for a meeting in the afternoon." ”
"Meeting?" The family asked in unison.
Aunt Liu came out of the back room and asked, "Do you know what the meeting is?" ”
Liu Haitao said: "I heard that it is going to divide the fields into households, and the meeting will be held in the second half of the morning, which may be a matter of dividing the land for our production team." ”
"I'll open it, you guys don't care." Aunt Liu said thoughtfully: "No wonder people are talking about the division of land these days, is this going to be done alone?" In the future, it will be a personal one? Oh my God. ”
Aunt Liu bent down and took out a large patterned watermelon from the side of the water tank, and said to the peach blossoms: "You wash and cut it, and everyone eats it." ”
The army hurriedly asked: "Mother, where is this watermelon?" Bought? ”
Aunt Liu smiled and said: "This is your Uncle Sun and Liqiang's own planting, and they all say that the watermelons in his family are delicious and refreshing, and they can make money now." ”
Sure enough, everyone praised them again and again while eating watermelons, and the army said: "After dividing the land, let's also plant an acre of watermelons like this, and we are guaranteed to make money." ”
"Who knows if it's going to be divided? Anyway, people are shouting like this. Liu Haitao explained.
At this time, Liu Laocun said loudly from the house: "There have been rumors of this matter for a long time, and this kind of news is broadcast from the box all day long. No, after the end of the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, I said what 'putting things right', 'reform and opening up', etc., I wondered in my heart that the national policy was going to change again, and this policy was changing back and forth, and we ordinary people couldn't stand it! ”
"Hey, my dad can chew words and chew words, and he will talk about crepe." Dajun asked in a sneering tone: "Why does Dad talk to the big official as soon as he speaks?" When did you learn to give a presentation? ”
Liu Laocun scolded when he heard this: "Don't fucking laugh at me, Lao Tzu really made a report in the county hall, don't be unconvinced, don't believe it and ask your mother, is this true?" ”
"No, people didn't brag about it." Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I met your father at the conference that day, and your father was an activist in the county at that time." ”
The army asked, "Is there such a thing?" Why did you never say that? Mother, can you tell us about it? ”
"Okay. It was the time when the big work 'three ~ face ~ red ~ flag', your father gave his livestock, farm tools, and fields all the bones and joined the 'people's commune', for this, your grandfather and your father gambled for half a year, but this matter was known by the county, in order to set an example and drive people's enthusiasm to join the society, the county evaluated him as an activist, touted him at the county general meeting, and brought red flowers to make a report, which was quite a glorious thing in that era. ”
"Hehe, that's why my mother has taken a fancy to my father, isn't it?" The army asked with a grin.
"Get out of the way!" Liu Qiaoxian scolded, and then said: "Alas, what was the craziest thing at that time, what was 'putting satellites', exaggeration, etc., saying that the yield per mu is 10,000 catties or 100 million catties, isn't that nonsense?" Don't say it, people will believe it when they open their eyes and say nonsense......"
"Believe what? That's a tiger from above. Liu Laocun said loudly: "The most ferocious thing in those years was the peach blossom village, Qin Dachuan in that village was really a madman, that guy was really a 'trouble' brand, bold, daring to say and dare to do......"
Peach Blossom responded: "He is my uncle and uncle, even now in the village, county, and even at home, he is quite domineering, and no one dares to mess with him." ”
"I've heard about it." Liu Laocun continued: "Later, I understood, isn't this a bad death? I told the truth, and then I was taken off the shelves. ”
Liu Qiaoxian said: "Because of such nonsense, God is angry, and there is another flood, and there is a famine, and the whole country has encountered a great disaster, and during the three-year difficult period, do you know what people are starving? Let's put it this way, all the people who can eat pigs eat it, and all the people who can't eat pigs eat it, and I don't know how many people starved to death? ”
Liu Haitao said: "My mother starved to death that year. ”
Peach Blossom asked: "Starve so many people to death, and the above doesn't care?" ”
"Tube? The whole country is in difficulty, can you manage it? Liu Laohan said with feeling: "Call me to see, it's right to take the road of the People's Commune." The fault lies in the fact that some people below mess around, engage in sports all day long, and make people's hearts suffer in chaos. Alas, the collective has been going on for so many years, and now it is going to change again, and it is going back and asking people to divide the land and work alone, and I don't know what the above thinks? ”
When the army heard this, he hurriedly corrected it and said: "This is called the joint production contract responsibility system, and it cannot be called a single effort. Today, when I was in the field to red potatoes, everyone was talking about it. ”
Peach Blossom interjected, "Isn't it all the same? I just changed the name, isn't it that 'three words and one pack, four freedoms' is back? In the future, the countryside will change again. ”
"Don't talk nonsense out there, don't mind if you're going to get in trouble." The army reminded Peach Blossom.
Liu Haitao said: "Actually, Peach Blossom is very right, there will be no production team in the countryside in the future, I heard people say, in the future, all the land in the countryside will be divided into each household, and in a year, how much public grain will be paid to the state per mu, and how much land will be paid to the state for each household......
"What do you mean by 'Tirius'?" Aunt Liu asked.
The army was the first to answer: "It is to hand over the money to the state for farming." ”
Liu Qiaoxian asked again: "Is it the 'rent payment' that I talked about in the past?" ”
"Actually, it's the same, but you can't call it that, you will get into trouble if you say that." Peach Blossom learned the angry kiss of the army and explained jokingly.
Liu Qiaoxian sighed: "Alas, it's really worrying, if you don't have labor to work in the future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat." ”
Aunt Liu'er's worries are not unreasonable, she weighed the current situation at home, his wife broke his leg, and now he can't even get up from the kang, how can he work in the field? Look at the army again, just because of this tuberculosis, people look skinny, people are just in their twenties this year, like a half-pulled old man in his forties, walking for a long time and panting, not to mention that he can work in the field. Look at the peach blossom ...... again Alas, do you want my old woman to work with her daughter-in-law and son-in-law?
