Chapter 24: The Rights and Wrongs of a Widow

Pan Qingchuan said: "I heard Uncle Minggen say that it was the first secretary who was selected and transferred, and this kind of selected cadres are generally outstanding students who have graduated with a bachelor's degree or above and have been screened and assessed. I think I want to come here to show my ambitions. ”

Meng Tingwei on the side continued: "People who have gone to college, isn't it good to find a job in a big city, you have to come to our poor mountains and rivers to ask for hardship." "Meng Tingwei is three years younger than Meng Tingfu, they are cousins, because he has a mentally handicapped brother, so he has been staying at home to take care of him.

Pan Qingchuan thought that his classmates also went to be selected cadres, he said: "Everyone's pursuit is different, and people always have to do something meaningful for themselves." ”

Pan Dahe is ten years younger than Pan Qingchuan, they have not yet come out of Wufu, he is a little introverted and doesn't talk much, but he is tall and strong, so when he went to build a city to ask for money, Meng Tingfu taught him to go with him, although he didn't talk much, but the strong body that grew there was a deterrent.

He said thoughtfully, "I haven't been to a big city before, but this time I went to the city with Brother Pan Zi, and I felt that although there are risks there, it is as deceitful as Jiaojiao, but it is very attractive." If I can give up my job in the big city to come to us, I don't think it's time to leave in a few days. ”

They discussed the future first secretary of poverty alleviation.

At the end of the day, they went to the mountain to help Lao Pan and his family, and when they arrived, they found that a woman was working together to cultivate.

She looked up and wiped the beads of sweat on her face, she looked like she was thirty-five or sixteen years old, Liu Yu hurriedly asked her to sit down and rest, she was Chen Meimei, a widow in the village.

Chen Meimei is actually only twenty-five years old, five years ago, she met on a blind date, married Pan Jiamu in the village, and gave birth to a fat boy the next year, Pan Jiamu wanted to make the family life better, so she went out to work, just went for a year, and sent back 20,000 yuan for the New Year, and the family was very happy.

I renovated my adobe house, thinking that life would get better and better.

When it was June, I found that Pan Jiamu had not contacted his family for three months, so I asked people from the same village to inquire, and the construction site said that he had not seen anyone for a long time.

Later, after several inquiries, a drowning nameless body was found, because there was nothing that could prove the identity, so the family has not been contacted, and the forensic doctor judged that it was because of excessive drinking and fell into the water and died.

Pan Jiamu's family cried hoarsely, thinking that life could get better and better, but they didn't expect to encounter such a catastrophe.

Chen Meimei met him on a blind date, and there was not much emotional foundation, and the pressure of life quickly wore away the sadness.

There is also a young son to raise, and the in-laws are only in their forties, and they are still thinking about having another son to pass on the lineage.

Chen Meimei takes care of the family every day like a spinning top.

At the age of twenty-five, his skin was rough and red, and he looked ten years older than his actual age.

She was still wearing the red coat she bought when she got married, and it was eye-catching, because her current fatness was tightly wrapped around her body, as if it would crumble with a little force.

Chen Meimei wants to get rid of her current poor life, although the people in the village are very disdainful of the Pan family's desire to grow fruits, but she wants to participate in the try.

She discussed with Liu Yu that she wanted to plant two acres, but because she had no money, she would pay later if the fruit could be sold in the future.

If this is something that ordinary people will definitely not be able to agree to her, but Liu Yu sympathizes with her, she died at such a young age, and she has to pull the child who is only four years old, if her mother-in-law is pregnant again, although it is said that the child may not be able to live when she is older.

But if he really had another son, the young grandson who lost his father at a young age probably wouldn't have been cared for at home as much as he is now.

Liu Yu saw that Chen Meimei had her own plans, and she was also happy for her, if people don't work hard to toss and toss in the predicament, how do they know that they can't carp jump the dragon gate.

Moreover, Lao Pan's physical condition, the old couple really can't plant these ten acres of fruit seedlings.

The people in the village were dismissive of their kiwifruit planting and thought it was a fool's errand, and several young people were willing to help because of their admiration for Pan Qingchuan.

After working so busy for nearly a week, the ten acres of kiwifruit seedlings were finally planted, Lao Pan sighed, people are old and sick, and their physical strength is not good, if they are young, how can they be used for so long.

Chen Meimei looked at the two acres of fruit seedlings, with a smile in the corners of her eyes with deep crow's feet, and she came to take care of the fruit seedlings every day in the future, at least she had a hope in her heart, and the hard days would be easier.

Pan Qingchuan thought in advance that maybe the people in the village would not accept to plant kiwifruit, so he wanted to take the lead in planting it first, and then persuade everyone to plant it with facts when he had economic income.

Now only Chen Meimei, a widow, is willing to plant together.

It's just that that night, Uncle Minggen came to the house, and after some gossip, he asked Lao Pan in a low voice: "I heard that Widow Chen planted fruit trees with you." ”

Liu Yu was adding tea to them, and when he asked, he replied: "Chuanzi bought so much, and we couldn't finish planting, Xiao Chen was willing to plant together, so I just gave her two acres of fruit seedlings." ”

Uncle Minggen continued: "She is a widow, although your family Chuanzi has not said a daughter-in-law in her thirties, but you can't find a widow, Chuanzi is also a college student." ”

As soon as he said this, Lao Pan's face changed: "I explained how can I say this, it's normal not to get married in your thirties in the city, besides, let's plant fruit seedlings with Xiao Chen, and what does it matter if we don't talk to Chuanzi about our daughter-in-law." ”

Most of the young people here got married when they were about 20 years old, and those who were not married at the age of Pan Qingchuan were said to be singles in the village.

The rumors swept through the entire Huoyun Village.

Liu Yu, who has always been gentle, said in a very atmospheric manner: "There are really many widows in front of the door, and Xiao Chen is not willing to be widowed, his fate is not good, and these people will fall into the well." ”

Lao Pan leisurely looked at a book about the history of the Three Kingdoms, "It's not that you haven't been in the village when you're young, and if you don't study, you won't sit on the wall at the entrance of the village all day long and chew your tongue." ”

Liu Yu wiped the table and said angrily, "No, as soon as you got married, you said that you wanted to go to the city to see, and you said that you had to leave this mountain village for everything, so I wanted to leave, and I left immediately." ”

Lao Pan looked at Liu Yu's eyes very gently: "I have followed me everywhere in this life, and I have not had a good life, I can't live with you, if I can meet you in the next life, I will be a cow and a horse for you......"

said that Liu Yu's eyes were hot, Lao Pan has never been a person who can talk sweetly, but when he sees that he is fine, he is willing to hold a book to read, and Liu Yu sometimes feels satisfied when he looks at him quietly.

She deliberately pretended to be angry and said: "My hair is not completely white, I said that I will grow old together, you will accompany me well in this life, don't mention anything in the next life." ”

She thought about Pan Qingchuan and said, she still hoped that Lao Pan would go back to the city hospital for treatment, and wanted to persuade her, but she knew that Lao Pan's temper was as stubborn as a donkey.
