Chapter 14: Cannibalism

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Zhang Hai is not like Jiang Chen, he is alone, even if he brings two oil bottles, there are only three people, and there are not so many things.

Zhang Hai's family, parents, brother and sister-in-law, plus nephews and nieces, this is a family of six.

Counting him, Yang Mei, two-year-old daughter, that's nine, and he can't sit down at a table every day.

In fact, the children are fine, mainly adults.

As soon as there are many people, they are prone to conflicts, even between brothers, parents and children, let alone in a big family after starting a family.

In the countryside, brothers do things with each other, concubines calculate each other, and after marriage, they break up, which abounds.

Because of poverty.

As the saying goes, people have three thousand diseases in life and old age, but only poor diseases cannot be cured.

In addition, there is a very important point, Yangmei married and had no land......

The first land division was in 1980.

The second adjustment was made in 1990.

The progress here was all completed by the end of that year, but it was 92 years since Yangmei got married......

In 92, there was no land.

Can you make a living in the countryside, what can you do without land?

Don't say anything else, just rush this one, as time goes by, it's hard to think of no contradictions.

Zhang Hai was also a little depressed.

He naturally believed Jiang Chen.

Don't look at it, there is a difference of half a year, but in his eyes, Jiang Chen has been very good since he was a child.

He is also willing to follow, otherwise where is the head of the day?

But he also had to admit that he couldn't be the master of the family.

There are parents and brothers and sisters-in-law in the family, all of whom are older than him.

"What's wrong with this, it's not going to be good?"

It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's not so hot anymore.

In the field, Yangmei was wearing a burden around her waist and picking cotton, and when she saw Zhang Hai coming back, she looked sullen and unhappy, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Zhang Hai opened his mouth, didn't say anything, looked at it, and asked, "What about my brother and sister-in-law, why didn't they come?" ”

"Where's a nap!" Yang Mei replied with a smile, and asked again: "Don't be bored, say, what's going on?"

I heard that I placed an order of 12,000, but there are not many at all, is it true? ”

"Really." Zhang Hai was already depressed in his heart, and when he heard that his brother and sister-in-law were still taking a nap, he suddenly became even more bored when he thought back on these years.

Soon cheered up again, "But Brother Chen said, this is just the beginning, in the next year, he will be able to receive an order of 1,000 tons, let us plant casually, boldly plant." ”

"Do you believe it?"

"Believe, Brother Chen is not a big talker, he dares to spend so much money to build a factory, I can't do it for a season, what is there to be afraid of?"

Zhang Hai laughed again, tied his baggage, and followed to pick up cotton.

Suddenly, he said: "I forgot, Brother Chen also asked me to tell you, go back and help, he will pay the salary." ”

"Really?"

It's a great event.

got married, had no land, and gave birth to a daughter, don't look at the usual times, in fact, Yangmei's life is not easy.

Many times she can't help but want to leave.

Now it's good, I'm going to have a job, although I don't know how the income is, but it's also an income!

But he quickly calmed down and asked, "Can your parents agree to this?" I'm going, and the work at home will have to be delayed. ”

Zhang Hai paused and looked at Yangmei.

He still likes her.

But he also had to admit that after three years of marriage, she looked dark, not as good-looking as when she first came.

Yang Mei's face was full of astonishment: "Why are you looking at me like this and saying the wrong thing?" ”

Zhang Hai laughed again, took a deep breath, and continued to pick cotton: "No, whether they agree or not, let's have the final say on this matter." ”

Yang Mei looked at Zhang Hai, thought about it, and still didn't say anything.

It's a little sweet in my heart.

Time just passed quietly.

When Jiang Chen was busy sowing and watering the seedling field, in the field here, the little couple were talking and laughing.

Not long after, my two-year-old daughter came over crying with her eyes rubbing her eyes all the way.

After that, almost an hour later, my brother and sister-in-law came and complained.

When I went home after dark, I rested, and I wanted to burn the fire and cook the bayberry, and I couldn't stop.

Zhang Hai didn't say anything, and silently helped.

The sister-in-law dug up a sweet potato, and the mother ate it separately, but did not give it to her daughter, and said some inexplicable things loudly, but he didn't say anything.

Finally, the meal was ready, and the bayberry was still feeding the pigs, but it didn't come, and it was already eaten on the table.

The only few pieces of meat, the sister-in-law pulled them, and they all went to the nephew and niece's bowl, and the daughter looked at it, but he still didn't say anything.

But the point is not whether he said anything or not, the point is that from beginning to end, his parents didn't say a word as if they didn't see anything.

It seems so natural.

It was the first time in three years that he had looked at the home so closely.

I don't know why, he suddenly remembered the two words he had learned in school - "cannibalism".

Finally, Yangmei was busy, and there was no place for her on the table, so she could only stand aside with the bowl.

Then my brother Zhang Tao spoke: "Yangmei, this dish is a little salty, and there is too little meat, put more next time." ”

followed by her sister-in-law Li Fang's eyes and said: "What to put it, don't need money, we have so many people waiting for dinner, and we don't have a few acres of land." ”

After speaking, he complained angrily: "Jiang Chen is also useless, I thought there was really a show, but as a result, it took half a day to do 12,000, and my few acres of land are enough to be planted." ”

The same plot is playing out every day.

Today is no exception, but it just touched Jiang Chen.

Zhang Hai still didn't say anything, but at a certain moment he said casually while picking up rice: "Brother Chen needs someone to help and pay the salary, I plan to let Yangmei pass." ”

"What, second child, you say it again?"

"Yangmei is over, what about the things at home, don't pick up cotton, don't cook and feed the pigs?"

“……”

As if it was a big rebellion, my brother and sister-in-law exploded suddenly, and her voice became sharp.

Mother Xiang Zhen's face fell, and she was obviously very unhappy.

Yangmei blinked, didn't make a sound, only quietly touched her daughter's hair, telling her not to be afraid.

Zhang Haisan finished taking two bites, put down the bowl, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said in an unprecedented firm tone: "I said, I plan to let Yangmei go to Brother Chen's factory to help!" ”

"Bang!"

"Bastard, you can go when you say go, who do you think you are?"

Finally, his father Zhang Rengui was also angry, and slapped the table directly, his eyes full of fire.

Daughter Zhang Ting was so frightened that she cried.

Yang Mei pulled and signaled to stop talking, if you don't go, you won't go, it's not a big deal.

Zhang Hai said strangely: "Dad, what are you angry about?" ”

"Zhang Hai ......"

Zhang Hai waved his hand and signaled to leave it alone, just looking at his father.

"Dad, what the hell are you angry about?"

"Why are you angry?"

"Why didn't you get angry before?"

“……”

It's calm.

Question after question, only doubt, curiosity, as if it were an extremely difficult question to understand.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

On the spot, the eldest brother Zhang Tao was angry, and he took the case: "Second brother, how did you talk to your father, believe it or not, I beat you?" ”

"Beat me?"

Zhang Hai smiled, his eyes turned red in an instant, and he slapped the table with a slap, and the person also stood up.

"Come on, you try it, I won't let you get out of this gate today, do you believe it??"
