Chapter 8: Suffering Comes

Eating, dressing, and drinking have already used up part of the money from the salary.

For the rest of the money, Hao Jiali listened to her father in the city early in the morning to get money, and her mother, who came back empty-handed many times, said that her father had learned to smoke again.

Camellia brand or harvest brand cigarettes, Hao Jiali's father smokes two packs a day, and at the end of the day, his cigarettes are all sent by colleagues who sit together and chat after work, and he himself smokes four or five at most.

In Hao Jiali's father's staff dormitory, there are seven or eight colleagues who come to smoke and drink every day, to put it bluntly, they are friends with wine and meat, these men are smart, they save their own money and send them home to raise children and daughters, adoptive parents, all of them take Hao Jiali's father's cigarettes and alcohol to satisfy their hunger, every time they finish smoking, they praise Hao Jiali's father for being a friend and a buddy enough.

Hao Jiali's father also understood what was going on with these people.

But Hao Jiali's father thought about it, as soon as they entered the mine, they followed up on the grave, and it was clearly a living dead, when the mine gas exploded, or when the coal was digging and digging out an underground river, the water was surging, and all the workers in the mine drowned in an instant.

Hao Jiali's father felt that the money was earned with his own life, and he thought that he would be happy if he could live for a day, be happy, and spend a day in a chic manner.

Because of this thought, he spent money on himself.

In addition, Hao Jiali's father was completely stingy with the women in the city and his wife and children, and he dated several women after entering the city.

For example, there are fans at the mouth of the mine, bucket trucks that transport coal from the mine drive winches, and women in the coal mines.

But these women are blind and don't need to look at the light to inquire and know that the men who go down the coal mine can't be found as partners, because they are all afraid of widowhood, and the most they can do is to play with these men's money, and then find a man from another unit who is not this profession to be a real lover or husband.

Hao Jiali's father has been tricked by them many times, and the most expensive thing is to accompany these women to the street shopping.

At that time, unlike now, there were supermarkets, there were big shopping malls, and there were all kinds of hydration, whitening, wrinkle removal, freckle removal, skin peeling, and SPA for women's beauty.

At that time, the most abundant places in the city were called department stores, and in the countryside they were called cooperatives.

In Hao Jiali's father's coal mine, no matter whether male or female workers, as long as they go to work and get off work, their faces are as black as Peking Opera masks, digging coal, transporting coal, washing coal, and selling wagons, they can't do without coal for their work.

And although these cosmetics were the same for a few cents at that time, what friendship brand oil, what kind of cream, these women were unceremoniously when they saw it, and they took it as if they were wholesale, and although they took ten bottles and eight bottles together, they only added up to three or five or six yuan, but it was also money, and it was also an additional expense of Hao Jiali's father.

Jiali's father couldn't pull down the child for the first time and didn't buy it, because if this woman was happy, he might not necessarily follow him, so that he could have a reason to divorce Chen Feng and then live the happy married life he dreamed of.

Moreover, women in the city should pay attention to a mood when they fall in love, walking the road to watch a movie is indispensable, three cents a movie ticket, plus buy some melon seeds, peanuts, broad beans, sugar, biscuits, etc., and sit in the cinema while watching movies and eat.

In this way, two Sundays in a month, two people will have to spend two or three dollars.

Hao Jiali's father can barely cope with this money.

Hao Jiali's father is most afraid that women will pestering him to buy clothes and shoes.

Moreover, these women's clothes do not need cloth, they want to be really good, or tweed fabric, and summer sandals do not need hard plastic, but pigskin, or shoes made of cowhide.

Hao Jiali saw that her mother's most expensive clothes were the long-sleeved shirt with broken saffron that she wore when she married her father, and she didn't even know what the tweed fabric was, let alone walking the road to watch a movie.

In order to get rid of Chen Feng, Hao Jiali's father spared no effort to spend money on these women, sometimes it was not enough for him to spend a month, so he had to advance the next month's salary in advance, so whenever Chen Qing and Chen Feng went to the coal mine to ask him for money, Hao Jiali's father said: "If you don't want money, you have a life!" ”

But how could the family want Hao Jiali's father's life, there was no way, Chen Feng could only enter the city empty-handed, and went home empty-handed with tears in his eyes.

Hao Jiali's father would rather have his money cheated by these women than care about Hao Jiali's life or death.

The women in the city deceived Hao Jiali's father of the money and were unwilling to follow him, and after finding a few women without success, Hao Jiali's father shifted the target to some peasant girls in the suburbs of the city.

At this time, Hao Jiali's father was very demanding, even if she had a rural household registration, a woman should at least be better than Chen Feng, and she should no longer be as short and small as Chen Feng, and her appearance was mediocre.

Hao Jiali felt that although her mother was short and her facial features were not outstanding, her mother had big eyes. Hao Jiali's eyes are like a mother, a woman has such a pair of talking eyes, and other shortcomings can be brought over, all the female colleagues in Hao Jiali's unit envy Hao Jiali's eyes, Hao Jiali can also feel it on weekdays, her eyes have touched the hearts of many unmarried men in the unit.

But Hao Jiali's father's aesthetics are not like this.

Hao Jiali later met her father, only to know that her father's height is 1.77 meters, the standard manly height, except for the eyes, Hao Jiali's face shape and her father are carved out of the same mold, and her father's face is much fuller than hers, such a face shape with her father's strong physique makes her father handsome and elegant, Hao Jiali believes that this is also the capital that her father is proud of.

In contrast, her mother Chen Feng is self-aware, Chen Feng's facial features are extremely mediocre, and her height is only 1.53 meters, no matter how you think Chen Feng is definitely not worthy of her husband.

Chen Feng only raised children honestly in the countryside, and kept the family she established with her husband, and the happiness and sweetness she gave when she married her husband was too short.

However, Chen Feng is honest and honest, and the reality is cruel, Chen Feng dislikes her husband even if she doesn't care, but Hao Jiali's sister and brother still have the same blood on their husband's body, Hao Jiali's father has the responsibility and obligation to raise Hao Jiali's sister and brother, instead of being the shopkeeper of the new home they just established after entering the city.

But after Hao Jiali's father entered the city, Chen Feng couldn't monitor him every day and follow him, so he could only let Hao Jiali's father come to him.

In the end, seeing that there was no rice to cook at home, and seeing that Hao Jiali's sister and brother were hungry, Chen Feng had to report the fact that her husband was married to her husband's unit, and asked the leaders of the coal mining unit to do her husband's ideological work and bear the burden of raising children in the countryside.

Hao Jiali's father's unit trade union came forward to mediate several times, Hao Jiali's father was the wind in his ears, and the unit didn't care, and the unit really had no way or energy to manage it, 80 percent of the coal miners that year were recruited from the countryside, and there were too many workers like Hao Jiali's father, Chen Shimei, and then Hao Jiali's father was even more unscrupulous.

Finally, Hao Jiali's father fell in love with the beautiful daughter of a farmer's family on the outskirts of the coal mine, and he wrote a letter home asking for a divorce from Chen Feng, as long as Chen Feng was willing to divorce, he was willing to bear part of the cost of raising the children.

Chen Feng also agreed, Chen Feng thought that it was not a way for her and her husband to have a nominal marriage like this, as long as her husband was willing to bear the living expenses of Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers, it was a matter that this marriage ended early, Chen Feng really couldn't support Hao Jiali's sisters and brothers, Chen Feng was willing to give her husband freedom in exchange and then unload the burden on his shoulders.

Chen Feng thought about it, divorced her husband, and then found an honest man in the countryside to live a down-to-earth life, and from then on, she and her husband were men and women remarried, and no one delayed anyone.

But just when Hao Jiali's father was ruthless and Chen Feng was in a hurry to prepare for divorce, Chen Feng's legs were paralyzed, and Chen Feng not only lost his ability to work, but also couldn't even take care of his own life.
