Chapter 8: The Times

At noon, my grandmother came in the rain, she took an old umbrella, her body was still wet, the three-inch golden lotus was full of mud, and her left hand was holding a yellow burden.

"Grandma," Bai Xue shouted, running up to grab her.

Grandma responded, and she stomped the mud off her feet before entering the house. Hurriedly opened the baggage, took out the cornmeal-baked pot and gave it to the nephew to eat.

Chunmei hurriedly took her own clothes for her mother to change into, and ate together again.

Wang Sen guessed that there must be something wrong with his mother-in-law coming in the rain, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he hid out under the pretext.

"Did Uncle quarrel with you," Chunmei asked her mother.

"No," grandma was very rare, and she said under Chunmei's repeated questioning: "It's bigger than wheat, there is no face at home, your uncle loses his temper, sleeps at home all day, has nothing to do, doesn't work, and the family doesn't stop." ”

Knowing her mother's intention, Chunmei was embarrassed, she had the heart to give it to her mother, she didn't have much, she added fifty catties of noodles and half of it, she was still worried that she couldn't eat it, it didn't matter what adults ate, the key was three children. Don't give it, look at the rain on my mother, if it weren't for my mother's help, she wouldn't come, and I can't let my mother go back empty-handed.

So, she took her baggage and went to the back room to dig noodles.

When Wang Sen came back to get the account book, his grandmother looked very uncomfortable, and Chunmei was at a loss.

Wang Sen smiled and said: "Dig more for my mother, there is not much flour and wheat." Chunmei was honest, she didn't see her husband's unhappiness, and when she heard her husband say this, she breathed a sigh of relief and dug a few more bowls for her mother. After the rain stopped, grandma happily walked away with her back, but my father and mother were awkward for several days, and they quarreled about this matter.

After two or three days of rain, the wheat in the field twisted its mouth, and the unharvested wheat in the field sprouted. People were all worried, and they all talked about it, and they all hated this hateful heaven, but no one could do anything. Yes, God is not beautiful, and it is not something that people can change. Looking at the moldy wheat, the distressed old ladies burst into tears, this year's wheat is just a little bit, and it is going to reach the mouth, and let the unlucky rain take it away.

When Wang Shu returned from the commune, he conveyed the instructions of his superiors to harvest in the rain, and each family vacated their rooms to hold wheat, striving to return the grains to the warehouse and minimize the losses.

The members of the club immediately took action, the male laborers grabbed the wheat in the field, and the women carried the backs and carried the grain.

After dinner, Wang Shu went to his younger brother and said, "Secretary Li Chun of the commune has asked me several times to go to work as a temporary worker, can you go?" ”

Wang Sen didn't say anything immediately when he heard this, he glanced at Chunmei, as if asking for her opinion.

"You go," Chunmei said without hesitation.

"His uncle is gone, can you do it at home? I have a lot to do, and I can't take care of you," Wang Shu said.

"Why not, there will always be a way," Chunmei said.

On the set, Wang Sen bought back a little pig, the little pig was thin, one step and three shakes, he couldn't stand steadily, he was dirty, his two little eyes were half-open, and white eye feces flowed from time to time.

Chunmei looked at it and asked, "Can you live?" "It's not a disease, you can't feed the hungry, just feed it for a few days, and it's very cheap, only one yuan and five dimes."

Grandpa came and bought a few rotten peaches for the children. He came to persuade Wang Sen, "You have to think about it, if you leave, who cares about her mother?" ”

"Uncle, I think about it, let him go, I can do it, I'm willing to let him go out, what's the point of the light nest at home," Chunmei said.

Grandpa was very reluctant to do so, but when his daughter said this, he couldn't say anything more.

Grandma came, she took her father-in-law's hand and said a lot of things, saying that Chunmei is so good and that is good, although sometimes she has a bad temper, but she has never scolded me, and my mother and I are very close to each other.

Grandpa smiled and washed a few peaches for grandma. After the meal, grandma took her grandfather to her place to drink a pot of tea, talking about Wang Sen's going out, grandma agreed, saying that it is better to go out than at home, anyway, there are many people in the family, and anything can be passed.

Wang Sen was leaving, Chunmei cleaned up the bed for him, and Wang Shu pushed the bicycle to see him off.

Grandma took her son's hand and said, "If you are tired, you will come back if you can't do it, and my mother is still reluctant to let you go." As he spoke, he wiped his eyes.

Chunmei persuaded, "It's not like he won't come......"

Wang Sen left, but Chunmei still went to work in the opposite side every day to earn work.

Dividing the wheat, the members are all smiling, and they have been looking forward to this day for a year. With pockets, sacks, carts, men, women, and children crowded into the courtyard.

After deducting the public grain and seed reserves, according to the average population, each person can divide 50 catties of moldy wheat and 20 catties of good wheat. Last year, only fifteen catties of wheat were divided, and compared with last year, it is said that this year is a bumper harvest year, and it would be better if God didn't rain.

Chunmei went to repair the cotton, and her grandmother called Shangni and Pengcheng to hurry to divide the wheat, she was afraid that she would be too late and would not be able to divide the wheat.

By the time they arrived at the yard, they hadn't yet scored. When the grandmother arrived at the courtyard, she shouted, "I don't have the labor to come, so give me a share first," she said, and then she stretched out her pockets, and asked Ni to fill the wheat with the latte, and let Ni fill the wheat.

The crowd looked at her, and none of them dared to say anything. She couldn't breathe after a few strokes of wheat, and she squatted on the ground and coughed with her mouth open, her face flushed.

Grandma scolded her, "Useless stuff." She called Peng Cheng again, and asked him and Ni to hold their pockets, and she picked up the dustpan, and after a while she filled three sacks and one bag, and Grandma sat on the wheat pile tired and gasped.

The custodian Tian Liang came over, and he said cautiously with a smiling face: "Ancestor, how can you just pretend." ”

"You mean to make me look moldy," Grandma asked, standing up and leaning against his face.

"No, I'm saying that the good ones get less, and the moldy ones get more points, you see how ...... you"

Before he could finish speaking, his grandmother cut him off. "I, what's wrong with me, who said I'm bare-dressed, this one, you ask, you ask," said Grandma, pointing to his nose.

"I, I," Tian Liang said backwards.

"Okay, you, you bullied me as soon as my son left, forgetting that my son was kind to you, you ungrateful thing, conscience told the dog to eat," the grandmother scolded him.

Tian Liang waved his hands backwards, "I, I, I," stammered in fear, he accidentally fell backwards on the rake, he got up and got into the empty space and never showed up again.

The captain sent the wine, and Tian Liang hurriedly went over and whispered to him.

Fajiu came over to explain to grandma, grandma is not an unreasonable person, she was about to pour out the good wheat, who knew that Tian Liang saw that someone was supporting him, so he said a few words that were not salty or light. Grandma was annoyed when she heard this, so she picked up the abacus on the scale and threw it on his head.

Tian Liang was frightened.

Grandma threw the abacus out, the abacus beads rolled to the ground, grandma jumped her little feet and scolded, and picked up the wooden fork to pick him up, scared Tian Liang like a frightened rabbit, and ran away without a trace.

Fajiu was also frightened and hid to the side, not daring to say anything more. Grandma's temper is not afraid of the sky, not afraid of the earth, she saw Tian Liang's father and mother, nodded at people's heads in the past, and scolded people for a dog blood spray. Tian Liang's father and mother accompanied him carefully, scolding his son.

The people in the courtyard also blamed Tian Liang for talking too much, delaying the distribution of wheat, making the whole team wait, and they all persuaded grandma and said good things. Some simply said, "Don't pour it when it's all loaded, hurry up and pass the scale." ”

"Yes, hurry up over the scales," echoed the group, and carried the wheat that Grandma had packed to the scales.

As soon as he saw that everyone agreed, he pushed the boat down the river, and weighed the scales high, and when the iron kidnapper saw that his grandmother was still not dispersed, he filled the sack with half a tuft of wheat.

Grandma was still angry, she had to ask Tian Liang to compensate her.

At this time, Tian Liang called Wang Yinshu to come. He knew that his grandmother would not give up, so he went to move the rescuers.

When Tian Liang's father saw his son, he scolded and raised the rake to beat him, but fortunately he was stopped. Tian Liangniang twisted her son's ears to compensate her grandmother.

Wang Yinshu also came over and said good things, and he asked Tian Liang to help his grandmother push the wheat back. Tian Liang agreed, and in order to please his grandmother, he also put a large tuft of wheat into the sack.

Tian Liang brought the wheat back to his grandmother, and when his grandmother was kind to him, she greeted him with a smile, rolled cigarettes for him, and made tea for him. Tian Liang still dared to smoke and drink tea, he didn't care about wiping his sweat, he pushed the car to run away, and his grandmother chased him out with tea......
