Looking back at the years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the economy has indeed developed rapidly, and people's lives have been the same every year.

Moreover, Zuo Ranjia pointed out to them the direction of future development, which is a picture of truly realizing that farmers are masters of their own fields. As long as they think that every household has a field, the cells in their bodies can explode excitedly, and the last thing they lack is a handful of strength, and they will serve the dealer well, and the days will become more and more prosperous.

They were already a little impatient, and their blood erupted nowhere but to rush to the book in their hands.

"But we can't understand it, the babies study so seriously, and we are not willing to delay their time?" Liu Tianliang looked at the book in his hand, he didn't recognize a word.

"Then learn, I'll live at home for a few days, hand it over to you pinyin, and when you learn, hold these dictionaries, dictionaries, and keep them to be able to understand the book. If you have memorized it with your heart, you can also take off the hat of illiteracy. Zuo Ranjia took out a pen and paper and stuffed them into Du Qiaoyun's arms, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, you have to hurry up, although you don't need to take out your graduation certificate, but you can read books if you know more words, and it is not easy to be deceived when you go out." ”

"These are commonly used scripts, you can't just care about making shoes and working, and only by being spiritually rich can you respond to Comrade Mao's call."

"Yes, you have to take off the hat of illiteracy, and our whole family will be an intellectual family, maybe we can live in the city in the future." Zuo Ranjia just started up, Liu Mu thought more and dared to think about it. She, the person at the helm of the family, can't let the Liu family lag behind others a lot, the stupid bird flies first, they have to flutter her wings.

They whispered in unison, puffing out their chests.

Put away the excitement, they accelerated to clean up the things in the yard, four carts of food, two carts of clothes, shoes, quilts, cloth, cotton, etc., a cart of food, a cart of daily necessities, a cart of books, pens and paper, and the remaining cart actually had a brand-new butterfly brand sewing machine, a new bicycle, a few small domestic quartz watches, and what Liu Mu liked even more was a pendulum clock!

"Hey, these things can't be hidden," Liu Mu vaguely touched the minute hand and quietly clicked the turning pendulum clock, thinking about how to explain the origin of these things to the people in the village. After all, the sewing machine can still be stuffy in the house and not let people see it, but the bicycle has to be used, and it is a pity that it is easy to rust and break if it is left alone. And the bell, it seems, rings, she just realized it.

"Hey, hasn't it been ringing?" Liu Mu muttered in wonder, Liu Tianxing had already given the pendulum clock to Fangzheng, and the pendulum began to work normally, pointing to half past eleven, and the sound of the bell frightened everyone to tremble.

The dogs in the village were so frightened that they barked everywhere, and the noisy people who were sleeping soundly got up to see what was happening.

The Liu family stood in the courtyard, staring at the pendulum clock, not daring to move.

"This thing is good, it's just cold and scary," Liu Mu patted her chest and relieved her mind for a long time.

"You can unload the pendulum and it won't ring," Zuo added.

"Why do you remove it, it's not a pendulum clock when you unload it," Liu Mule said heavily, "That's it, anyway, it knocks less at night." Her mind was still spinning, these three things were hundreds of dollars, and it was estimated that the village chief's family would be able to take them out.

But the countrymen don't have industrial tickets, and if they have money, they have to find tickets from relatives in the city to buy them.

"We can't show cowardice, the good days have just begun, and now we are hiding them aggrievedly, what can we do in the future?" Liu's mother instructed her three sons to move things into the house one by one, "You can use things how they should be used, just keep a low profile." ”

The courtyard was empty little by little, people's spirits were very strong, and Liu's mother couldn't sleep, so she asked each room to take her clothes and supplies back to her own house in the hall. The four-room ones are also included in the four-room house, and these days, they just packed up some of the things they needed and sent them into the mountains together.

Yesterday I slept late, but everyone got up not late, the three daughters-in-law boiled a pot of hot water early, mixed it into a new enamel basin and began to wash their faces thoroughly with facial cleanser in the order that Zuo Ranjia said, and felt that their faces were unprecedentedly comfortable.

They slapped water, milk, and cream on their faces little by little in the mirror, and added simple massage techniques, hey, the original rough face is much moisturized at the moment, and the hands are slippery to the touch.

The three men looked at the women speechlessly, and continued to cut out the gowns, and when they looked back at their daughter-in-law, who was at least four or five years younger, they were stunned.

"Is this fairy water?" Liu Tianxing asked suspiciously, his daughter-in-law had changed the most.

Zuo Ranjia also got up and finished washing, and giggled when she heard his words, "Uncle, this is not fairy water." It's the aunts who usually blow and sun in the field, and the skin dehydration is too serious, so the effect is obvious when they are used at the beginning. ”

The three women were beautiful, and the old man Liu also looked at Mother Liu, obediently, the folds on the old woman's face were much shallower, he smiled happily and nodded, "It's young, okay." ”

Liu Mu glared at him and couldn't laugh anymore.

Listening to the sound of the Liu family's pendulum clock, the neighbor in the next yard stepped on the stool and shouted: "Aunt Liu, what did you get at home, why did it ring all morning?" ”

"How can it be so exaggerated," Liu's mother responded, "last night their third aunt's nephew passed by our highway and sent us some good things. He said that our family used to take care of them, but now that he has a little money, he has to buy us a pendulum clock, a bicycle and a sewing machine. ”

As soon as they heard these three pieces, the neighbors were a little confused, how much can they take care of their relatives, and they can exchange them for large items that are hundreds of dollars?

"Where can we ask for it directly, Tongzi is just at the age of marriage, we borrowed a lot of money from everywhere before, bought things for him, and it just happened that the money didn't have time to move, so we gave it out together." Liu Mu racked her brains all night to come up with an excuse. The object that Tongzi said before had to meet the highest standards in the village from the beginning, and they were able to buy it with great difficulty, but they couldn't wait to turn around and talk to others about the object.

Everyone in the village knows that it is not easy for women to be divorced, and the same is true for men. Besides, their family hasn't had time to buy a big wedding item, and people who are not familiar with them think they are poor, and they were cut off because they couldn't afford the dowry.

In the countryside, a twenty-year-old boy has no object yet, and he wants to be laughed at.

Although the Liu family adheres to the principle of sitting upright and not being afraid of others, it can only be anxious when it comes to Liu Zhengtong's marriage, so they are still patient and ready to find it.

However, now that the babies are going to study, as long as they can get their graduation certificates, it is a junior high school graduation certificate, which is enough for the babies to try to recruit in the city. At that time, they were not afraid that they would not be able to find a girl from a good family.

The neighbors secretly pouted when they heard this, their children couldn't eat and went to eat at the old grandmother's house, and they also slapped their eldest grandson in the face and bought big items that people in the city could only use when they got married. Tsk, I guess they haven't paid back the money they borrowed before, and they have caught a lot of it, right?

The neighbor satisfied the gossip and jumped off the stool to eat.

"Mother, what are you talking about with her, just her big mouth, in less than a morning, the whole village knows what our family has." Aunt Liu was reluctant to wear new clothes, so she tried and changed back to old clothes, and she asked her mother-in-law puzzled. My mother-in-law usually blames smart people, why did she do something foolish today?

Liu Mu nodded her forehead, "You, the bicycles, sewing machines and pendulum clocks in our house can't be hidden at all, so instead of being found out and thinking blindly, it is better for us to poke them out ourselves." Tongzi came back after two years of study, let's slowly find a daughter-in-law for him, character is the most important, and secondly, the in-laws can't be messing around.

No matter how fanciful others praise people, let's not investigate it ourselves, it's not steady. The eldest granddaughter-in-law has found a good start and made a good start. Only then can the harmony of our family continue to be carried forward. ”

Second Aunt Liu nodded again and again, "Yes, my mother said it so well." ”

Mother Liu turned around and entered the house, and added a condition to her granddaughter-in-law in her heart, it is okay to be uneducated, but you have to be smart, if you come to the same as the second family, and you don't look at it yourself, I don't know how much I will lose.

There is a lot of work in the spring, but the weather is still a little cold, so people go to work later than usual. After eating, the Liu family sat in the bright hall and followed Zuo Ranjia to learn pinyin.

Zuo Ranjia posted the initials and finals on the wall, took a bamboo pole, knocked one by one, and roughly brushed it through the examples. Let them memorize the pronunciation and writing of the six finals first, and they will have to test them one by one at noon.

Liu Mu also added: "Whoever remembers it, can still write it down, and can eat a bowl of white rice at noon!" ”

There is no shortage of food at home, but Liumu did not let everyone eat, in the morning, because Zuo Ranjia was there, it was just noodles rolled with white flour mixed with cornmeal. Therefore, a bowl of white rice is extremely tempting for the Liu family, who have not seen much of the world and eaten many good things.

They were already serious, and at the moment they were really racking their brains to learn and memorize, moving their hands and feet together, gesturing on the ground and on the table.

When they went to work, they were working and silently remembering that even the pit and loosening the soil were written according to the rhyme mother, and the strange action was regarded by the villagers who listened to it as a manifestation of being pressed by debt.

The six finals are remembered by them, but what they don't know is that the two nagging at home have secretly formulated a lot of rewards and punishments in order to promote their enthusiasm for learning.
