Chapter 37: Broken and shabby
The people depend on food for the sky, and the farmers' food sources all depend on the output of the fields, and farming is a long process, and the prerequisite is to have a safe place to live, so that people can carry out a series of cultivation well.
The so-called sunrise work, sunrise and rest, digging wells and drinking, plowing the fields and eating, this is the leisurely and lovely pastoral life that countless great powers yearn for.
However, the peasants themselves did not find this kind of life so lovely and beautiful, especially for those who lived in poverty and poverty.
Jiang Changan was very eager to cry at the moment, their two rooms were only divided into two thatched houses, Jiang Lao and his wife slept in one, and the other was separated from the middle by a high bamboo fence, and the two brothers and sisters occupied one side, and the door was universal.
The space is small, there are no windows, and the light is really dim.
Jiang Changan slept in the inner room, the room was less than two meters wide and only more than three meters long, a space of only about five square meters, and a wooden bed was placed horizontally under the wall, and a pink mosquito net was hung on the bed.
There is a small uneven wardrobe in the middle, the wooden planks of the wardrobe do not fit together, the kind with large gaps, and there are quilts for winter and all of Jiang Changan's clothes in it.
At the entrance of the room, in a well-lit place, there was a set of dilapidated desks, on which were placed several books that Jiang Chang'an used to go to school, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Among them, the small brush and a small piece of ink were given by Song Fuzi, and the paper was also the draft paper written by Song Fuzi.
And those books are all old books used by Jiang Jiabao, which saves another amount of money.
The whole room is just two words, shabby! Add two more words to the dilapidated, falling mud walls, leaky thatched roofs...
Now that the family has been separated, some household tools have no place to put them and are squeezed into Jiang Changan's house, which makes the narrow space more crowded, and the air inside is particularly bad.
"Infrastructure construction is urgent." This kind of environment is too difficult, and it is only a little better than the food style and lodging dew.
"Sister, what did you say?" Jiang Jiabao passed by the door, and when he heard Jiang Changan's murmuring, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
He seems to have heard the 'chicken'? Could it be that my sister wants to eat eggs? "Do you want eggs? But the eggs are all left for the grandparents.
Our family was the last chicken to catch, and the two and a half big hens were skinny and couldn't lay eggs; Three line chickens can't lay eggs, and they are still small now, so it's a pity to eat them, so they have to be raised until they are fat for the New Year. ”
Why is Jiang Jiabao so clear? Because the five chickens will be put in his room at night in the future, and the chicken shed in the backyard is the grandparents' and can no longer be used, it is more comforting that the five chickens still have at least a chicken coop to keep in place.
Otherwise, it's really hard to say whether the chicken will run to Jiang Jiabao's bed to pull poop.
And the father's room should put food, farm tools, etc., which is not loose.
Speaking of food, Jiang Changan sighed again, and the grain was only distributed to half a bag of sorghum and corn, as well as half a bag of sweet potatoes and potatoes left over from last year, and a few catties of mung beans and soybeans.
Anyway, it's all coarse grains, and the amount is not much, and the fine grain of rice and noodles has not seen a shadow at all, how can it be a miserable word.
Now there is still more than half a month before the summer harvest, but even if the summer harvest is over, their family may not have rice to eat, because after paying taxes on the rice in previous years, all of them are bought, and the harvest money is used for daily expenses.
This is the main way for farmers to save money, and farmers grow rice instead of eating rice, they only eat cheaper coarse grains.
So if you want to eat rice, you have to go out and make money.
"What? Ling'er wants to eat chicken? That's okay, Ling'er Niang, let's kill a chicken at noon, and use it as a warm house to celebrate the separation. "Jiang Lao Er sent things to the Jiang family's treasure house, and directly came to a big upgrade, and listened to eating eggs as eating chicken.
"Oh, but Xianggong, we don't have a pot." Yao raised the few missing bowls and damaged chopsticks in his hand, quite embarrassed.
If they don't buy a pot, it seems that they can only eat roasted sweet potatoes.
Jiang Changan also stroked his forehead helplessly for a while, he really wanted nothing, no different from a refugee camp.
"Hey, what's the matter, borrow one from my father and mother, and divide the two of them to eat chicken wing legs when the time comes." Jiang Lao Er has to plan well, it's a big deal to go to the county seat to buy two pots in the afternoon, and this money, the old man seems to have five taels of silver, so he can borrow a few hundred Wenhua flowers first.
Yao's eyes glanced at Jiang Lao Er with resentment, "Then you can go." "Anyway, she didn't dare to go, so the half-grown chicken was killed and eaten meat, and she came to the door to find someone to smoke, right?
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go." Jiang Lao Er put down his things and walked to the main room.
On the other side of the third room, Jiang and Jiang Laosan packed up their things, and seeing that they had no pot, no stove, and couldn't cook, they hurriedly took a few children and went straight to the town and took refuge in their parents' house.
And Boss Jiang also went out and went to the town to buy a pot.
He usually does some short-term work, and the money he earns does not need to be paid to the public high school, and now he buys two pots and comes back, and there is no pressure at all.
In the main room, as soon as she heard Jiang Lao Er say that she was going to kill the chicken, Mrs. Jiang immediately blew up, "Eat, eat!" You know how to eat, you can't even afford a pot, and you still want to eat chicken.
The chicks don't let go, you deserve to die of poverty and starvation. ”
Jiang Lao Er sneered, "I didn't die of poverty and starvation, but I was almost beaten to death by my own mother, and I really deserved it." "Otherwise, how could there be such an old lady, Jiang Lao Er sneered.
Don't think that he was in a coma at that time and didn't know, maybe he couldn't rest assured of Yao, so his consciousness has always been intermittent, he knows that the old lady listened to slander and wanted to kill herself.
also wanted to kill his daughter-in-law, saying that it was false not to be sad, usually he would occasionally contradict the old lady, but he never thought of being unfilial or unfavorable to her.
Mrs. Jiang's eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Lao Er dumbly, speechless for a while, do you want to kill the second child? For a moment she thought.
She had never seen such a big thing in her life, and when she saw Jiang Lao Er half dead, and the old man ran out to borrow it with his injured body, she suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall.
And it was the people in the second room who caused all this disaster, Mrs. Jiang was panicked, why did she give birth to such a scourge, it was better to die.
I was also so angry that I was dizzy, and now that I think about it, I feel a burst of fear, she is not as good as a pig and a dog, she is crazy, she is a miasma, and she wants to kill her own son?!
Mrs. Jiang couldn't suppress her trembling body, and she couldn't say a word.
"What? Your parents are so stupid, what can you do? Who made you not burn incense in your last life and reincarnate in our Jiang family, who made you stupid? Killed is also fatal.
Your daughter has called you back, do you want to do it with us as a couple? Old man Jiang scolded back very shamefully.
He is such a stupid woman, the good and the bad are all his, and he has never wanted to change it in his life, is it possible that his son still wants to change his mother? Go! What are you dreaming about?
Jiang Lao Er choked, your daughter-in-law is stupid, you are justified, you are proud to have such a daughter-in-law, "What do I think of me?" I just want to borrow a pot to cook, if you don't give a word, if you don't borrow a pot, borrow money, and I'll buy it myself. ”
"The pot is placed there, if you want to use it, will you take it yourself, and I beg you to do it, old man?"
"Okay, okay, ancestor, I'm going to cook, even for your share." I'm afraid of this old man, it's shameless and skinless, and it's a shame to have such a father.
As for the old lady, just like Dad said, who let him be such a foolish girl, anyway, it's the first time, he admits it, this matter can be turned over, but there is no next time!
