Chapter 42: Interesting Facts in the Village
Due to Zhou Ni's opposition, Jin Guang went to the tax office to work as a temporary worker.
Wang Shu is always worried about this.
Zhou Ni thought about it, and regretted that her intestines were blue.
What made Wang Shu even more upset was that because he listened to his wife's words, he delayed the division of the land, and the land was not divided after spring ploughing, but was still planted collectively.
For this reason, he was severely criticized by Secretary Li Chun, saying that he had dragged the town back and violated the party's policy, and gave the whole town a notice and a serious warning from the party.
After he came back, he didn't give his wife a good look, and reprimanded him a few words.
This time, Zhou Ni did not refute, it seems that he also knew that he was wrong.
After graduating from high school, Jin Guang returned home, and when he had nothing to do at home, he went to work in the production team, and after a few days of work, he couldn't do it anymore.
Zhou Ni saw a few bubbles on her son's hands, she was very distressed, and said that she wouldn't let him do anything.
The team leader came to ask, Zhou Ni fired at him, "He just got out of school, how can he do heavy work, you see the bubbles in his hands, one by one, they are all connected into pieces, and he doesn't dare to hold chopsticks when he eats, how did I tell you?" ”
The team leader is busy compensating, "I've been busy these days, I haven't taken care of him, it's all mine, I won't let him work in the future, follow it or be a safekeeper or something." He was so smiling that he almost kowtowed.
However, he scolded in his heart, that is, your child is delicate, and other people's children are not children, and he is several years younger than him, they are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are distressed when they have a few bubbles on their hands, it is better to set up a Buddhist hall like you.
He complained in his heart, and he didn't accompany him. Otherwise, with the words of this mother-in-law, his tasteless little sesame official will have to lose his yarn hat.
He said all the good things, but he didn't accompany them.
After a long time, Zhou Ni's face softened, and she said to him: "There is a bag of cotton in the east room, and I don't have the time to play it just if I want to, it's either a headache or a heartache these days, you can help me to play it." ”
"Alas," the squad leader agreed, and he happily picked up his baggage and left.
He knows that as long as this is the case, it will be fine, what are you afraid of doing some work, even if you help her daughter.
If he works in the future, Jin Guang is relaxed, and he still remembers the labor of a laborer if he doesn't do any work. Younger than him, he worked hard all day to remember half of his labor.
Everyone knows it, they all see it, but they don't say it.
After working for a while, Jin Guang said that he was bored and panicked, and it was boring.
In the end, he stopped going and slept at home all day, keeping a record of his work.
Zhou Ni really regretted it, especially when she saw Zhiming wearing a beautiful uniform and walking around the village proudly, she regretted that she was nameless, and it was not good to take Wang Shu out of anger, so she secretly slapped herself in the mouth. He asked her husband to find another way, so angry that Wang Shu ignored him, he didn't go before, but it was too late.
If you lose it, it will be difficult to recover. In the end, Wang Shutuo found an errand for Jin Guang in the kiln factory, nominally as a guard, but in fact it was to look at the door, play odd and miscellaneous work, and then explain that the point is to take care of the related households, it is okay to go, it is okay not to go, there are more than a dozen of them in the same situation as him, and the salary of dozens of yuan a month is equal to giving it away for nothing. In this way, Zhou Ni's heart is a little more balanced.
As the saying goes, "When the children are older, they don't stay, and it's a worry to stay and stay." ”
When the son is older, he wants to find a daughter-in-law, and when the daughter is older, he wants to get married, which is the mother's heart.
Zhou Ni was worried about Jinguang's marriage again, and there was an endless stream of people who came to Jinguang to say kiss, and there was a tendency to break through the threshold, including those from this village, from other villages, and from other villages.
Yes, anyone who has a good daughter in the family does not want to marry this family, find a powerful backer.
Zhou Ni's vision is very high, she falls in love with other people's daughters but not her parents, and she falls in love with other people's families but can't look down on other people's daughters.
Moreover, she attaches great importance to the ingredients, and must be from a poor peasant background, and the ingredients above the middle peasant are hands-free, so as not to get into trouble.
During the Cultural Revolution, people with high content were so miserable.
Alas, for the sake of Jinguang's daughter-in-law, she can't sleep well. For this reason, she also suffered from headaches, and it was common for her to get angry at her husband, complaining that he was patronizing the house and not caring about the children's family affairs at all.
Wang Shu swallowed his anger, and enlightened her with good words: "He can do the child's own willing, what is not the right household, they are all from the Zhuang family, the rich and the poor can go there, and now the composition is not important, as long as the child is good, diligent, and able to live, don't care about other people's parents, what we want is someone's daughter, and not her parents." ”
This time, Zhou Ni really listened to her husband and gave Jin Guangying a good daughter in the village.
The girl looks like a water spirit, a well-known flower in the village, and is two years younger than Jin Guang, which is just right.
It's that her parents don't have a good reputation, and her mother is carrying a dung basket on her back and smelling around, and the neighbors are all over the place, and they don't go up to the door; His father is also a horse prince, no one dares to mess with him, if anyone provokes him, he will fight hard with others, so he got the nickname of Ertian Grandpa.
However, his father also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is afraid of his mother-in-law, and when it comes to it, the two of them have made a lot of jokes.
It was not long after they got married, and his wife did rough work in her mother's house and never cooked.
As the saying goes, "The thousand-year-old road is a river, and the daughter-in-law of many years is a mother-in-law." ”
His deceased mother finally got through to his mother-in-law, so he should have privileges.
At first, his mother said that his daughter-in-law couldn't do this, that couldn't do it, how to look at the horizontal nose and vertical eyes, so she always found fault with her daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed not long after passing the door, but she didn't expect that his mother thought that her daughter-in-law was easy to bully, and she had to inch in.
Once, his mother asked her daughter-in-law to steam dry food, so she went to the door.
His daughter-in-law has never cooked at all, so she can't steam dry food, and she has to cook it.
So, she first put the cornmeal in the basin and put the water, and then the two big hands slammed it in the basin, thinned the flour, thickened it and added water, he was in a hurry, making it all over the cornmeal, and I don't know how many times he repeated it, and when the noodles were reconciled, a whole big pot.
She was busy adding water to the pot and holding firewood, everything was cleaned up, two big hands held the noodles and patted them, and she couldn't make a nest for a long time, she was annoyed, so she simply poured the cornmeal on the cage drawer, spread and patted it with her hands, because of the thinness, it flowed into the pot a lot.
After covering the pot, she lit the fire, the bellows were whirring, the flames were a foot high, his face was sweating, and the firewood was not much missing, and she was very happy when she saw the pot hot, and she was so happy that she burned desperately for a while, and smelled the fragrance of dry food before it was finished.
When the mother-in-law came back, she was very happy to see that her daughter-in-law had steamed the dry food, and when she came into the house and sniffed it with her dog-like nose, her face suddenly changed and she screamed, "It's mushy, turn the pot quickly." ”
Opened the pot to see, the top was fine, baked a yellowed loaf of bread, but the pot was black, with choking smoke, the cage drawer was also black, and there were sparks on it, so angry that the old lady pointed at the daughter-in-law and moved her shriveled mouth, and did not say anything for a long time, she went up and gave her two mouths, although the daughter-in-law was at a loss, she did not eat a set, and suddenly pushed his mother to the ground, and gave the old lady three mouths, and the old lady screamed like a sow.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't accept anyone, they fought together, rolled together, rolled from the house to the courtyard, and from the courtyard to the street.
Seeing the excitement, the people surrounded the three floors inside and the three floors outside, and they all laughed.
The mother-in-law was the opponent of the daughter-in-law, and was pressed to the ground by the daughter-in-law and beaten up.
The second day, the grandfather came back from a casual job, and saw his wife beating the old lady, which was repaid, he grabbed his daughter-in-law, took off the soles of his shoes and hit her three soles, and she turned around several times and fell to the ground.
When his mother saw her son coming, she thought that the driver was coming, so she got up from the ground and howled for her son to beat him hard.
He was also angry when he saw his mother gritting her teeth.
Usually, he is very annoyed when he sees that his mother has something to do to find fault with his daughter-in-law, but now in anger, he pulls his mother and gives his mother three soles.
The old woman was beaten by her son and asked, "I made a mistake, why did you hit me?" ”
"It's you who fights, and you can still fight alone, and I'll make you embarrassed here, with three soles per person, and you won't be biased," he said confidently.
Everyone laughed, the angry mother lay on the ground looking for death and life, the old lady didn't do it, and the daughter-in-law also got into trouble with him, she got up from the ground and got up with him, and the two rolled together again.
His mother saw that things were not good and wanted to die, so she hurriedly got up from the ground and shouted for someone to fight.
Only then did the people who watched the matter persuade them. The daughter-in-law hugged his leg and didn't let go, and the corners of her mouth were foaming at the mouth and said, "Aren't you Ertian's grandfather, today I am Datian's grandfather, you have to carry me back." ”
After pestering for a while, he softened and really carried his daughter-in-law home.
Since then, the village has spread that he is called a grandfather of two days, and the other is a grandfather of two days, and grandpa Datian can cure grandfathers of two days. Besides, the big cake steamed by his daughter-in-law, which was charred on the outside and raw on the inside, was cooked and eaten by the family for several days, and was passed down as a laughing stock by the village.
Zhou Ni and Wang Shu talked about it, and they couldn't breathe when they laughed, fortunately his daughter and her mother didn't have a temper, otherwise they really wouldn't dare to take over this in-law.
Because Jin Guang was willing, they also agreed to this family business.
So, Zhou Ni packed a bag and asked the matchmaker to talk about it, and after a small meeting, a big meeting was made, and the marriage was decided.
