The old lady frowned, and opened her mouth to reprimand her, but when she thought that her eldest son was still there, she still had to give her eldest son face, so she slowed down her tone, but the displeasure in it could still be heard, "Eldest daughter-in-law, your man is a soldier, you said that you went to set up a stall, wouldn't that be a shame for your man?" It's not going to work, it's absolutely not going to work. Eight generations of poor peasants in our family, we can't do that speculative thing, shame the old Xu family, and Zhenhua! ”

"Besides, what's the matter with drinking cold water and eating snow? You ask, who in our place didn't do this when they went up to the mountains to work? Mother Xu said: "Don't talk about others, just say your second brother and your second sister-in-law......"

Speculation?

Lose face?

Lin Tong's heart was half cold when he heard this, and he didn't pay attention to what the old lady said later?

Is this a difference in perception?

She unconsciously looked at Xu Zhenhua, he also thought the same? Think it's humiliating to be a hawker?

Xu Zhenhua lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Xu Nian, and he didn't look at her. She bit her lip and said a little unconvinced: "We earn money by labor, and we don't steal or rob, what's the shame?" Besides, Mom, you let the second and third children sell chickens, and they are not hawkers, so what's the difference? ”

Mother Xu glanced at her son first, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so she knew that he didn't agree with it in her heart, and she had a bottom in her heart, and she spoke very smoothly, "Of course it's different, the second and third children went to sell chickens, saying that they were selling, but in fact, they were exchanged, and they were raised by themselves, just like taking their own grain to exchange for money to buy salt, which is not ashamed." Let's put it bluntly, it's still farmers. ”

"But the way you came up with it, then you became a small stall vendor, and those who had to dig the corners of communism in the past were to be criticized. That's definitely not going to work. After Xu's mother finished speaking, she also educated her seriously, "Xiaotong, I know that you were poor and scared in the past, but now that you are married into our old Xu family, our family, although the life is average, you will not be hungry, and in the future, you will live a good life in a down-to-earth manner." You remember, we farmers, no matter when, must be down-to-earth and honestly do the crop work in our fields. Farmers, don't forget Ben at any time! ”

Lin Tong was educated, and he was a little sullen when he returned to the room with Xu Zhenhua.

She came up with an idea with good intentions, and was criticized as "not down-to-earth", which really made her extremely depressed.

It's that she thinks too simply, and the conceptual problem of decades apart is not so easy to break.

I remember that my grandmother and mother said when they chatted in the past that until the mid-90s, there were still many people in the county where their family was located who felt that it was a shame to be an individual, and it was better to have a status than a latte at work.

"Xu Zhenhua, why didn't you say a word just now? Don't you agree with it either? Although Lin Tong already knew his attitude, because he had great expectations, he didn't hear what he said in person, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Do you feel ashamed of this?" Lin Tong was very disappointed, leaning on the edge of the kang with his legs folded, pouting and muttering: "This is also a kind of labor, what is there to be ashamed of working with your hands to earn money?" Isn't there a shame in not being able to eat enough and being hungry? ”

Xu Zhenhua looked at her unhappy, but this look was very strange, and when it came to the sentence "Yes, I don't agree with it either", it became:

"Do you really want to make money? Mom is right, you will be the Xu family in the future, and you will no longer live under the fence like before, although it is impossible to eat big fish and meat, but there is no problem with being full. ”

He thought he was speaking very gently, but Lin Tong felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.

How can a person live without pursuit?

The life of the Xu family is much better than that of her mother's family, but it is only full of coarse grains.

Moreover, she now has to look at people's faces everywhere, and she can't be the master of anything, what is the difference between this and sending people under the fence?

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Lin Tong came up stubbornly, took his arm and pouted and asked, "Do you think my idea is very embarrassing?" ”

Xu Nian thought it was funny, and also learned from his mother, grabbed his father's other arm and giggled.

Xu Zhenhua was helpless, grabbed his son's small body with one hand, and said in what he thought was tactful: "In the army, there are many military dependents who accompany the army, and some of them are arranged to work in service cooperatives or kindergartens, but there are still many who take care of children at home. Whether life is good or bad at home, I have never seen anyone go out and set up a stall. ”

That's obvious enough!

Lin Tong looked at him in surprise, "Not one?" ”

"Not a single one."

Lin Tong said unceremoniously: "It's really pedantic, I'd rather suffer from poverty than go out to set up a stall, not for the sake of face!" ”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him suspiciously, "Hey, Xu Zhenhua, you won't be reluctant to let me join the army because I want to go out and set up a stall!" ”

She stared at him with wide eyes and a fierce expression, her long eyelashes flickering, making Xu Zhenhua's heart itch, and she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, it won't." ”

Lin Tong stared at him for a long time before he lowered his head and muttered, "It won't be the best, otherwise, hum, I want to make you look good!" He waved his little fist as he spoke.

"Makes you look good!" Xu Nian giggled and learned from her, waved his little fist, and hit Xu Zhenhua's arm, he lowered his head and patted his son's little ass, "Okay, you dare to kill your father with your mother, you should beat it!" ”

Xu Nian giggled, struggling to reach out to Lin Tong, "Mom, help, dad hit me!" ”

Lin Tong smiled and wanted to hug his son, but Xu Zhenhua dodged him, "I want to find my mother, no, I still have to spank you!" ”

Li Yubo went to the toilet, and when he passed by the front of the room, he heard the laughter inside, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "What is there to be happy about?" ”

After entering the West House, he said to Xu Laosan in a slightly sour tone: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law don't know what to say so happily, and Xiao Nian is laughing." ”

Xu Lao Sansan didn't raise his head and said, "What do you care?" ”

Xu Lao Er sat on the kang and smiled: "The eldest brother married the little daughter-in-law, and she is beautiful!" If the third child also marries a little daughter-in-law, he is guaranteed to be happier than the eldest brother! ”

Xu Laosan frowned, whenever this second brother speaks, he is yin and yang, if this is not his brother, who cares about him?

Li Yubo was not happy, "The two of us are talking, what are you talking about?" Besides, why don't you say that you marry a little daughter-in-law? Who is this curse? ”

In this era, there is no such thing as divorce, and the situation of marrying a young daughter-in-law is generally that the daughter-in-law dies and then marries, just like Xu Zhenhua.

Xu Lao Er smiled mischievously: "Stay in this room, how do I know that you are not talking to me!" If you don't want to talk to me, you can go out! ”
