Chapter 5 I want to go to school
The second brother said at this time: "Mom! Now that you have money, can you give back two flowers? You see the shoes on my feet, the soles are going to be broken, if I can buy a good pair of liberation shoes......"
Mom's eyes widened: "That's not good!" How about four yuan a pair of liberation shoes, where can we afford it? This money must be kept to pay off the debt, and none of you want it. ”
As soon as the two heard that their mother didn't give money, they were immediately angry, and they were not as happy as they were just now, and what their mother was saying was just casually, and after a while, they saw the second sister-in-law make a look, and the two got up and were about to leave.
I hurriedly sent them out, and the second brother wanted to talk to me several times, but I saw that I had a black face all the time, and I didn't want to talk to him at all, so he could only leave in a sneer.
I closed the door and hurriedly asked my mother how the matter was resolved: "Du Cheng's mother is amazing, how could she be willing to give you money?" ”
Mom used a broom to clean the dust on her body, and smiled proudly: "How can she beat me?" Du Cheng, this bastard is really not a thing, I don't want to admit that you two are engaged, and I don't want to give money, so I grabbed it and beat it hard, the more Sun E shouted, the harder I beat me, anyway, I told him that the money given by the Du family at the beginning would not be refunded as much as things, and give me another sixty yuan, otherwise I would not be able to mix them up! Sun E saw that there were more and more people coming, and she was also a little afraid that your eldest brother would come back to fight Du Cheng, so she obediently agreed. ”
I asked, "That Yuan Fang didn't say anything?" ”
"Du Cheng slapped her twice after you left, complaining that she talked more, and then Sun E was also complaining about him, so she just stood there and said nothing, this is what it should be!"
I said in my heart, I even beat people, I want to marry someone like Du Cheng who is not responsible, and I will have a good life with you in the future.
Mom suddenly sighed: "He's so not human, just retire if you retire, it's just that you may only be able to find a second marriage in the future." It's all the Du family's fault! ”
"I don't want to get married right now."
"And what do you want to do?" Mom is anxious again, for her, my biggest task is my family.
I said, "I don't think there's a farming school in the town?" I want to learn. "In my previous life, because I didn't have much education, I couldn't find any job in the city, and I was discriminated against, so I had to study hard in this life.
When my mother heard this, she threw the broom on the ground, which frightened the two old hens who came out to look for food: "You went to school? What conditions do you not know in our family? ”
"Agricultural schools don't charge money, why not?"
Mom snorted: "What should you do if you leave the family's farm work?" You're nineteen years old this year, and it's good for you to go to junior high school, I think you should fight this delusion as soon as possible, hurry up and cook, and go to the ground tomorrow. ”
I knew my mother would say that, so I stretched out my hand and said, "No matter what, I've earned all this money, either you let me go to school, or you can give me back the money." That's what I worked so hard to get back, why should I give it to you? ”
Mom was a little panicked, and she turned around and forced me: "Dead girl, are you still playing face?" You don't know the debts at home? How do you know that evil is against me? ”
"The debts in the family are not made by me, and the second brother in the family doesn't do anything, why do you only count on me for everything? Whose daughter works in the fields every day like me, and earns you a lot of money? I don't care, I'm going to school! ”
Mom saw that I was really hot, so she slapped me twice; "That's it! Let's not talk about this, anyway, isn't that school only open next year, and there are still a few months, why are you in a hurry? Go cook, I'm going to die of exhaustion today. ”
I know that my mother will never agree to let me go to school, she will definitely ask the matchmaker to marry me off quickly, she has always wanted me to find a second marriage, just because of the bride price given.
I went into the kitchen to cook and thought, it's okay if you don't give me money, anyway, at least she won't dare to bully me during the time I'm at home. It's just that even if the agricultural school doesn't charge tuition, she won't give a cent of living expenses. How can I get the money?
I mixed a little flour with soybean flour, rolled it thinly, put loofah, zucchini, and green onion in the middle, and made it into a pie, because my mother kept nagging that there was no oil, so I put it in a dry pot and roasted it out with a firewood fire, which was thin and large, cut into pieces and put in a large plate, very crispy and delicious.
I picked a few eggplants from the ground and steamed them, mixed them with green garlic and crushed chili peppers, and added soy sauce and salt to save fuel and serve rice. There was a small table in the courtyard, and before the eldest brother came back, we ate first.
Mom suddenly said, "Your sister-in-law has been feeling unwell for the past two days, you have time to cook a few meals for her." She always thinks I don't make it delicious. ”
I pouted: "She's pregnant, is my second brother also pregnant?" If you don't go to the ground, you don't even cook. Our land is planted by us, and the rice is also made here, which is also called separation? When the grain was sold in the autumn and the money was divided, did the money also give us? ”
"I'll let you cook a meal for your sister-in-law, see if you are wronged! If you don't do it, pull it down! ”
"Pull it down, pull it down, and I don't owe him." If this was what my mother asked me to do in my previous life, I would have done it no matter how unhappy I was, but in this life, I will not wronged myself.
Mom got angry and threw her chopsticks: "This is also called a family?" What do you calculate against each other! He's your second brother, and he should help. You're always against him, what's going on? ”
"What did he do when I got out of the marriage and was unlucky? I just asked for ten yuan, and I hurried over to ask for a bargain, but I didn't care. ”
Mom glared at me: "It's said that women don't stay, but now I can see it." Hurry up and marry you off is considered a pure heart. Otherwise, staying at home will also want to me off! ”
I don't speak, just say whatever you want, I won't listen to you.
Mom suddenly looked at the gate of the courtyard again: "Why hasn't your eldest brother come back yet, did you go to find that vixen again?" ”
"I don't know. You didn't let me look at her. "I was eating the bread, and I was wondering where he was.
"I'll go find him." Mom was not at ease, so she got up and walked out, but as soon as she opened the door, she happened to collide with my eldest brother, and the wild fruit in his hand fell to the ground. Hurriedly leaned over and picked it up.
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Are you embarrassed to ask me, did you go to Lin Cailian just now?"
I knew that my eldest brother was not good at lying, so I hurriedly said: "I just remembered, I just asked my brother to go hunting wild fruits, don't you know, the road over there is not easy to walk, don't you just come back?" ”
"Isn't it? The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, you see my clothes are stained with grass seeds. The eldest brother took off his clothes and slapped them with his hands.
Mom snorted: "You guys just pretend to be a ghost for me!" Hurry up and eat and sleep, and I'll go to the ground tomorrow. ”
The eldest brother agreed, squatted on the ground to wash his face, and suddenly turned back to me and said, "By the way, Qiao'er, I saw Liu Cui just now, and she said that she would get married this week." But I haven't found this lady yet, so let me come back and ask you if you have time this Saturday? Go and be her maid, right? ”
Mom was cleaning up the dishes, and when she heard it, she waved her hand in a hurry and annoyance: "Don't go!" When the time comes, there will be no way to work, and there will be no money. ”
I said: "It's rare for people to trust me, and besides, I have always had a good relationship with Liu Cui, and I am still a junior high school classmate. ”
After graduating from junior high school, Liu Cui followed her father to work in the state-run canteen in the town. I had long heard that she was the object of a chef, and I didn't expect to get married so soon.
I thought that almost all the girls in the class had been settled, and I was the only one, and I sighed a little.
Mom banged the dishes and chopsticks, and muttered, "You just want to go against me!" You don't know how busy the farm work is, you go, what to do with the wheat? ”
"The second brother said that his feet are swollen and he can't go out to do farm work for a month, why don't you say it? I'm going anyway, it's useless for you to stop me! I gulped down the bread and met her gaze without fear.
"I don't care about you, anyway, if you want to go to school, you can't go to school, let me quickly find my in-laws and leave, when the time comes, I don't care about you!" Mom went to her hall with a chatter.
I didn't say a word, and put the cake in front of the eldest brother's table: "Big brother, you can eat." ”
"I've eaten it." He chuckled quietly, "The noodle soup she made me." ”
