Chapter 043: On par with the second room
Since he was a child, he knew that among his brothers, the second brother was a brainy and capable, otherwise, the second brother would not have gone to the city to be an apprentice when he was a teenager, and later became the shopkeeper, and then because of the chaos in the city,
When I returned to my hometown to farm, I didn't expect that I had the ability to do it, and my mouth would say that within two years of land reform, I was directly assigned as the captain by the cadres from above, and I worked for several years, and I became more and more prestigious among the members day by day.
That's it, he doesn't have much ability, but he feels that as long as he unswervingly follows in the footsteps of his second brother, his life will definitely not be a mess.
"Yes, the second brother and sister-in-law are really good to our family, but where did you say the second brother got this wild thing?" Mu Juxiang said, and saw the man's glare: "Why did you say you came here?" Let me tell you, the second brother is estimated to send some wild things to my father and mother and our family, you had better keep your mouth shut, so as not to cause trouble to the second brother. ”
Nodding lightly, Mu Juxiang responded: "I know, don't worry, I won't say anything to anyone." Seeing that his daughter-in-law really listened to his words, Jiang He's expression was solemn, and he said: "It's best to stew meat in the middle of the night, by the way, close the doors and windows tightly then, and then take rags to plug the gaps tightly." ”
When the family was separated, he had a room, the internal area of about 20 bungalows, the whole room was separated by a half-wall, next to the wall by the back window is the ondol, next to the half wall in front of the stove built a stove, and the stove directly leads to the bottom of the ondol, so that the ondol is heated by the way during the meal, and there is no waste of firewood at all.
Although it has been separated for nearly three years, each room lives in a courtyard, who makes something delicious, the fragrance will inevitably float all over the yard, in order not to attract people to be greedy, good horn, this is looking for people to be greedy,
In fact, I am afraid that my own family will make good food, so I will attract all the children in each room to gather and share the food, and each room will have a set in secret, and the food will be eaten, and the doors and windows will be closed tightly, and the gaps will be blocked, which will not only prevent my own family, but also prevent the neighbors from leaving and right.
Today, his family got the wild things given by the second brother, and the smell of meat at home during the New Year is inevitable.
"I listen to you."
Mu Juxiang has no objection.
Looking at her, the corners of Jiang He's mouth moved, and his words hesitated: "Cut two catties of roe deer meat, you take the time to send it to Xueqing and his grandfather, remember, don't say a word that shouldn't be said, give the meat and come back." ”
Hearing this, Mu Juxiang's eyes instantly reddened: "Boss, you ......"
She is the eldest in the family, and there are two younger sisters and two younger brothers under her, and in the first two years, the two younger sisters married one after another, and her father and mother and eldest brother and younger brother were left in the family.
The eldest brother is seventeen, the father and mother are looking at the daughter-in-law, the younger brother is fifteen, and he has to say that he is close in two years, in their village, her family's life is not very good. After all, if you want to eat enough in these years, you have to earn more work.
In the past two years, there has been a famine, and even if they can earn work, the brigade can't get food to distribute to the members, but her family broke a leg because the father of the head of the family went to the mountains to hunt seven years ago.
Later, after being treated by the barefoot doctor in the village, his leg was lame, and he could walk, but it was difficult to use his strength to do heavy work in the field. The sons of the two daughters, without the strong labor of their father, she had just married at that time,
The two younger sisters are thin, and they are both teenagers, with little strength, and the two of them are enough to work in the field, and the eldest brother and the younger brother are two little dolls, and the family is often short of food.
Right now, the eldest brother and the younger brother are half a laborer, and they can help her father earn work for the family, but the food in exchange is still tight, and before the famine, even if she wants to help her mother's family,
But the mother-in-law's family is not separated, and the food is managed by the mother-in-law, as a daughter-in-law, if she pours food from the father-in-law to her mother's family behind her back and her own man, not to mention what the mother-in-law will do with her,
is afraid that the head of the family will make trouble with her, and she actually doesn't have the courage to steal her in-laws' things to her mother's family. After the family was separated, I thought that I would have a good talk with the head of the family, and when there was excess food at home,
Occasionally, she helps her mother's family, clinker, and there is a famine in the country, not to mention her mother's family, she can't uncover the pot by herself, but fortunately, God has eyes, and her niece Xia Xia found the cave,
brought benefits to the whole brigade, so that the big guy did not continue to starve to death because of the interruption, and then the river suddenly rose, and their village had river water to irrigate the farmland, and the field could grow crops.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes and other grain crops, when it was time to harvest, the brigade finally came to a bumper harvest, and every household did not lose grain. It didn't matter what she said, the head of the house packed half a bag of grain, half a bag of sweet potatoes, and half a bag of potatoes, and sent them to her parents' house with her one night, at that moment, she had only one thought in her heart - Mu Juxiang didn't marry the wrong person!
Yes, she Mu Juxiang did not marry the wrong person, obviously the food was extremely precious in this famine year, but after the head of the family distributed the food in the brigade, without saying a word, he sent food to her mother's family to save her life.
Shang'an Village is the name of the village where her mother's family lives, and it is more than ten miles away from the river outside Da Lishu Village, and there is no river water for irrigation, so the villages around the river bank irrigate their farmland through the river water, and there is grain to pot, and the Shang'an Village where her mother's family lives, as well as the villages near Shang'an Village, are still in a state of famine.
Half a bag of grain, half a bag of sweet potatoes, and half a bag of potatoes can be said to have saved her father and mother and two younger brothers, so that they can wait for the relief food to come down.
It was unexpected, it was the mouth of the head of the house who said to cut two catties of roe deer meat to her mother's family; Not surprisingly, based on her understanding of the master, the owner does not say that she will send the pheasant or hare to her mother's house, but she will definitely send half a catty from the ten catties of roe deer meat, or one catty to her mother's house.
Unexpectedly, she still underestimated the generosity of the master, and she wanted to cut two catties of roe deer meat when she opened her mouth......
"The second brother gave a lot of roe deer meat." Jiang He knew what his daughter-in-law was going to say, but he didn't say much, he just said it lightly, but it still made Mu Juxiang wipe the corners of his eyes with emotion.
"After the New Year, Xueqing was seven years old, and in the second half of the year, he was sent to elementary school, Dong Ling and Xueqing were one year old, and they were also sent to school the year after tomorrow."
This topic turned too fast, Mu Juxiang was stunned for a while, Fang came back to her senses, and she said: "Xueqing is a boy who wants to study, Dong Ling...... Dong Ling will follow Xueqing to recognize words ......"
Jiang He frowned and cut off: "Listen to what you mean, are you going to send Dong Ling to study?" ”
didn't think about asking Mu Juxiang to answer, Jiang He's face was dark, and he said bluntly: "Think about the second brother and sister-in-law, think about Xia Xia, what reason do you think you have for not letting Dong Ling go to school?" I tell you, my sons and daughters are the same with me. ”
"What's more, I made up my mind to follow in the footsteps of the second brother, since the second brother's eyes are not there, I will send Xia Xia to the village to study, and I Jianghe naturally can't lag behind. Besides, Xia Xia's reading is no worse than learning from them,"
"I went to the fourth grade at the age of seven, and I went to Beijing to participate in that activity before, and there were several awards at home, and it was only half a semester, Xia Xia's brain was smart, and it has been spread to the whole brigade, you say, do you envy the second sister-in-law for having such a girl as Xia Xia?"
His second brother and sister-in-law are going to give birth to cubs, and none of the five cubs are stupid, but his cubs, as far as he observes, really don't see which one is the material for reading, but there is no hurry at the moment, and when the cubs are all in school, they should be able to see it slowly.
"What's the use of envy?! Can our Dongling have a brain like Xia Xia? ”
Mu Juxiang is not patriarchal, she feels that books are not easy to read from her heart, even if it is a male doll, she can really read books, and there are very few in their countryside, not to mention whether there are college students in the next village, just the big pear tree and her mother's Shang'an Village, after liberation to the present, she has not heard of anyone's children have been admitted to college anyway.
Okay, let alone being admitted to college, even if you can be admitted to high school, there are not two who can graduate from high school.
"Don't talk about it first, wait for Dong Ling to go to school and then look at it, if she has the ability to read it level by level, we will provide it, if she can't read it herself, there is no need for us to say anything,"
"She had to withdraw from school on her own. Dong Yan is the same, anyway, our children must be on par with the second brother's family, and the books must be read, as for reading well and badly, whether they can read or not, it all depends on Xueqing and their brothers and sisters. ”
"You are very angry, but it costs a lot of money to go to school, Xueqing and Dongmei are one year old, and Dongyan is almost four years old, and when they all go to school, they will have to pay a lot of tuition every year."
"You can pay as much as you want, and you must read the book."
Jiang He said word by word, seeing his resolute attitude, the corners of Mu Juxiang's mouth moved, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Don't be like the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, you just know that you let your daughter help the family do the work and earn work in the field. Look at my sister again, even if I have been studying for a few years, I have opened my eyes, I found my brother-in-law, a man in the city, and I still have a job in the city. ”
"That's because Xueqing and his aunt are good-looking, and he was taken in by his uncle, so he married in the city and lived a good life."
Jiang He glanced at his daughter-in-law, took off his cotton coat and lay down on the kang: "My sister is beautiful, but if my sister doesn't know a single big word, can she talk to my brother-in-law together?" If you can't talk about it, can my brother-in-law marry my sister? ”
Climbed to the edge of the kang and blew out the oil lamp on the table, Mu Juxiang lay down beside Jiang He, wanting to say something, but the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and she didn't make a sound.
Early the next morning, Jiang An and his family sent their daughter and nephew on the shuttle bus to the county seat, and Lin Lan told her daughter: "Xia Xia, don't run around by yourself, the shuttle bus arrives at the station, follow up with your brother Haiyang, remember to take all the things off the car." ”
Ye Xia Tian responded with a smile: "I remember it all, mom go to work quickly, otherwise you will be late." ”
As she spoke, she moved her gaze to Jiang An: "Dad, you and Mom can rest assured, I will definitely not run around, and I will come back from my aunt's house in two days." ”
"Dad called your aunt and uncle, and your uncle will pick you up at the bus station."
Jiang An said a word to his daughter, and then said to his nephew: "Haiyang, take care of my sister, and go back to your second uncle to pick up Xia Xia at your house." ”
Song Haiyang nodded: "Second uncle, don't worry, I promise to be optimistic about Xia Xia." ”
Hearing the conductor shouting that the train was about to leave, Jiang An and Lin Lan reluctantly got off the shuttle, and saw the girl looking out of the window and waving at them, the two of them hurriedly raised their right hand, and shook their hands like their daughter, until the shuttle bus disappeared, Jiang An said: "Let's go, I'll send you to the supply and marketing cooperative." ”
Lin Lan: "No, you go back directly, I'll go to work by myself." ”
"There's no rush home."
Thinking that the youngest son finally failed to follow his daughter to his aunt's house in the county seat, he couldn't help but look at his daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu will definitely have to make trouble for a day today." ”
Lin Lan gave him a roll of his eyes: "You are underestimating Xiao Wu, besides, Xiao Wu just wants to stay with Xia Xia, and it has nothing to do with whether he goes to his aunt's house or not." ”
As he spoke, the two pushed a bicycle and walked in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative.
County.
"Hello uncle."
When the shuttle bus entered the station, Ye Xia and Song Haiyang got off the bus with big bags and small bags, and when they saw Song Renli, they immediately greeted with a smile. took the things in her hand and put them on the bicycle, and put the things in her son's hand in the back seat of the car in order, Song Renli picked up Ye Xia and put it on the front beam of the bicycle and sat down, and said to his son: "Let's go." ”
Song Haiyang answered, walked beside his father, and opened his mouth to talk about catching wild animals on the mountain yesterday.
Song Renli pushed the bicycle, he was stunned for a moment, and when Song Haiyang's voice fell, he asked: "Xia Xia, your brother Haiyang shouldn't be lying to your uncle, right?" ”
Ye Xia shook his head: "No, my brother Haiyang is telling the truth, the situation at that time was like that, we saw a lot of wild things, they ran slowly, as if waiting for us to catch them, it didn't take any effort." ”
After talking a lot, I unknowingly arrived at the family home.
"Sister! Sister! You're finally here, and I'm so happy to see you! ”
Song Xiaohai and his second brother Song Huyang were playing at home, when they heard footsteps outside the door, they ran over to open the door with their little short legs, no, as soon as the door opened, they saw Ye Xia shining beside Song Haiyang, and they jumped with joy.
Taking off his gloves, Ye Xia pinched the little guy's nose lightly, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I'm so happy to see Sister Xiaohai." As she spoke, she said hello to her second cousin Song Huyang.
"Xia Xia, what do you want to eat at noon, my uncle will make it for you."
Song Renli asked Ye Xia. There were nearly two hours before twelve o'clock at noon, Ye Xia came to her aunt's house this time, and by the way, she brought a pheasant and hare and more than ten catties of roe deer meat to Cheng Junlang's grandparents.
Song Renli was stunned at first, and then said, "Then my uncle sent you over?" Ye Xia nodded obediently: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
Song Renli was quite surprised, because the compound Ye Xia said, as far as he knew, was full of old cadres with status, and many of them were old cadres from Beijing City who were recuperating there.
"Dad, aren't you going to work at noon?"
Song Haiyang asked his father, but before his father could make a sound, the young man said, "If you don't go and get busy with you, I'll send Xia Xia over." ”
Song Renli: "No, Dad will ride Xia Xia to go, and then go to the factory, and bring you delicious food from the factory canteen at noon." ”
Carrying the wild things for Cheng Junlang's grandmother, Ye Xia was planted by Song Renli on a bicycle to the gate of the compound.
"Goodbye uncle, be careful on the road!"
