Chapter 261: After all, it's patriarchy
If you can use your mobile phone to shoot videos in the future, eat scenes at night, and upload videos, you can definitely be popular. Two pots of rice are not enough to eat.
The rice is still the same as last time, it is cooked first, and then it is served in a pot and then cooked. And a pot of rice comes up, let everyone serve it by themselves, although everyone consciously follows the rhythm of the army and will not eat one or two more bowls, but this rice is not like the sweet potato porridge last time, if you fill too much, it will overflow.
This rice can be compacted, it can be stacked higher, and there is almost no one that is not full. Even if it is packed in a basin, it can't withstand a few times from everyone.
Fortunately, Luo Cheng likes to eat pots, cooking rice on this stove, and you can have a layer of pots after a little stuffiness. Everyone saw that Luo Cheng liked to eat pots, so no one robbed him, which didn't make Luo Cheng hungry.
And the living room was still full of men, aunts and aunts, and they were all eating in the kitchen. A chicken, more than 20 people, one person at most one or two pieces are gone. This chicken bone, as long as it is not too hard, does not exist to spit out.
After dinner, Luo Cheng asked Zheng Xue and Gao Ru to wash up early, and then go to live in the cooperative later. If he hadn't brought them here, in fact, Luo Cheng drove a business car, and it would be okay to lie on the sofa in the car for a few days, and lying in the car, he could also watch the night view outside the car window.
One of the cooperative's beds belongs to his family, and the other one is borrowed from his father. This matter was arranged after I mentioned it to my father in the morning, but it was only this year, and next year I had to let the town approve a land to build a house. Even if you can only live in it for the New Year, or tear down the current house and build a two- or three-story building. The director of an automobile factory is nearly 200 a month, and it is the ability to build a building with his own money.
The cooperatives in the town were originally converted from forestry warehouses, and the rooms were relatively large. Luo Cheng has two beds and pads of cotton wool, after all, there are so many cotton tickets, and he added them later. And Xiaoyu's little quilt changed from their torn cotton jacket, because Qin Ru was pregnant, they gave it to her.
Originally, it was arranged for Zheng Xue and Gao Ru to live in one room, and Luo Cheng to have a separate room. But their quilts were thin and too cold. Luo Cheng not only brought quilts with him, but also braziers and charcoal. So the two of them moved the bed to Luo Cheng's room, there was a brazier, the room temperature was okay, and the thin quilt was not cold.
You can live in one room, but Zheng Xue is a little too invisible, there are urinals and urine buckets outside the house, and the big ones have to get dressed and go to the outside of the cooperative, which is not far from dozens of meters.
And Zheng Xue likes to relieve herself before going to bed, which is nothing. Could it be that Luo Cheng will change to the point where he hears the sound of peeing at the door, and he thinks about it. But Zheng Xue actually took off the chest wrap before going to bed, although she wore clothes, but when she went to Xiaojie, it was something that could not be described.
This~~ Luo Cheng hurriedly turned sideways and slept facing the wall. He didn't feel much of a lust, but his thoughts drifted.
Thinking that a few months ago, the world hadn't changed, and I was just a dick in a technical school. If you want to talk about a girlfriend, I also talked about it, but it was before I went to technical school, and it didn't take long to talk about it before I broke up, the reason was that I got back together with my ex-boyfriend. can break up, and when they broke up, their girlfriend also said to Luo Cheng 'murderous heart'.
said that she was actually willing to be Luo Cheng's girlfriend, but it was actually a coincidence that he was in a hurry, because she had just broken up not long ago and wanted to take care of her alone. blame Luo Cheng for not being angry, if Luo Cheng is bold and wants to, she doesn't care. But now it's not going to work, she's going to get back together, so it's not cheap.
Before the world changed, Luo Cheng thought about his dog~~ forced womanhood, it was really terrible. Thinking about it now, it's not Luo Chengchui, this woman's fate is really good. He still remembers that when he first went to the repair shop to report, he asked for directions on the side of the road, and there was an aunt who wanted to introduce someone.
But in this era, it is also a torment for women to be too good. If this is the case in the future life, Luo Chengcai will not get married, how can he be a sea king. He can feel it, Zheng Xue won't mention it, in the automobile factory, there are actually many girls who are interested in him. For example, Xu Haitang and Li Xiaotong pay attention to the difference between men and women these years, and normal communication between men and women will keep a distance. If it is not maintained, it can be said that if the man proposes the object, the probability of agreeing is generally high.
Thinking about it, Luo Cheng fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he would be in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are no guests, but their own children get together and have a good meal. And the goose that has been raised for a long time and brought back has already been slaughtered yesterday, and today I will wait for Zheng Xue to stew it.
Luo Cheng got up at the urging of Zheng Xue and the others, looked at his watch, it was past seven o'clock, but it looked like it was very early outside in winter. The washing things were all at home, so Luo Cheng had to get up and fold the quilt casually, and took them home from the cooperative.
The Chinese New Year's Eve is actually quite boring. It's all about small talk at home and preparing a good meal. Tomorrow is the real New Year, there is no TV and no mobile phone to watch this year, basically a family talks about how to spend next year, when the year is good, everyone has a hope, when it is bad, the New Year is also sad.
And the hundreds of people sheltered in Longjin Town, they are a big family, and many people are discussing whether to return to their hometown next year. At least my hometown has its own house, and this side is a makeshift wooden shed.
But what about returning to his hometown, what kind of relief grain can his hometown come up with, and when he goes back, he must immediately plough the fields and plant the grain. Growing grain and several months' rations have to wait for relief from above, and relief food is basically pitiful, and it is good to be able to hang your life.
If there had been food, when they fled in droves, they would have been sent food from above. To be honest, even if there is a thin mouthful, if you don't die of hunger, everyone will not choose to flee the famine.
Here in Longjin Town, basically no one wants to leave, go back, the fields are not their own, and the things that can be brought out at home are basically brought with them. The land is collective, in which fields are not planted, and there has been a drought for three consecutive years. What if there is a drought next year, at least if there is a drought here, there is no problem for people to draft water, and if you are in the fields, you can quickly go to distant reservoirs and rivers to fetch water, and you can have some harvest.
And it's snowing here in Nghe An this year, which is a good sign. Because they are not well-informed, they don't know what is going on in their hometown, but in previous years, those who escaped and came back were still in drought, and many people regretted going back.
On the side of Longjin Town, unlike other places to contain them, other places are to get some food to barely hang their lives, and when the spring comes, they will send everyone back. If you don't go back, you will follow the locals to earn work, but they will basically be treated differently, doing dirty work and tiring work, and the work may not be as much as others.
And here in Longjin Town, especially the first brigade, even if it is winter, everyone was arranged to work at the beginning. In winter, there is actually no work to do except open up the wasteland, but there are not so many people needed to open up the wasteland, not that there are many people, but there are no tools. They did the work of clearing the wasteland, and the brigade did not give them food.
Although it was only rice bran and soybean meal at the beginning, the rice bran grinding point was not much worse than stick noodles. Soybean meal is actually a good thing, and it is actually a lot of nutrition, but it is just a little, and if you eat too much flatulence. But at least both of these things carry hunger. Later, after working for a while, the brigade also gave them decent coarse grains, and they ate with rice bran and soybean meal, at least their stomachs would not be bloated.
Now, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, the team has actually given each of them some rice, vegetables, Chinese cabbage. It's impossible to share some meat like the rest of the town. But being able to eat a meal of rice and cabbage during the Chinese New Year is really satisfying for those of them who have fled the famine.
From history to the present, the Chinese people's requirements have always been very simple, to have a full meal to eat, and a shelter from the wind and rain, they are satisfied.
The people who are sheltered in Longjin Town basically don't want to leave, but the ones outside Longjin Town are different. If you drink thin every day, young people can still carry it, but if you are old, you are weak, and if you get sick, it will be gone.
Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, there were many beggars in Longjin Town. They are all people who are unwilling to be sent back next year, and they are not willing to be taken in by other townships. Eat so little thin every day, it's okay for young people not to get sick, but if they are sick, they can't bear it. And poor health is easy to get sick. It's better to try your luck here, it is said that the people in the shelter here can at least eat and dry. It's just that this is the New Year, and everyone is no longer working. I can only see if I can stutter.
Not to mention, here in Longjin Town, you can really get something, although it's just some rice bran or something. But during the day, they begged for a little, and at night they reclaimed the place where they could be accommodated, and the rice bran was ground and eaten with a clear rice soup that was almost bottomless, and at least the stomach was not so hungry.
And the uncle's family invited the matchmaker early this morning, and also entertained a bowl of sugar water for others to drink. The Liu family can't delay until the New Year, they have to give someone an explanation, if they can't agree, they can find someone else.
The uncle called the matchmaker this time, not to agree to the conditions of the Liu family, but he didn't want to push the matter away. After all, the second son has taken a fancy to others, and it is natural that he can become successful.
After going back last night, Luo Qiang was very happy, thinking that his business was done. Not only can I marry my daughter-in-law, but I and my daughter-in-law will both go to work to earn wages in the future. At least he will be the most promising one in their family. But as soon as Uncle Luo Wu came home, he summoned all the family members and directly told his eldest nephew Luo Cheng's statement. And the uncle's idea is that the eldest son and the second son go to work directly with these two job quotas, and it is impossible to give the job to a girl from the Liu family.
The uncle is the head of the family at home, and he basically has the final say. But the matter between Luo Qiang and the girl of the Liu family is not necessarily blown, at least Luo Qiang has a job, and the person is a little worse, but if he has a job, it is not difficult to find a slightly good-looking girl in the town this year.
This is also the purpose of the uncle to invite a matchmaker to come over, this sugar water is not drunk in vain, and the matchmaker has to help him go to Liu's house again, even if Luo Qiang will go to work in the cooperative after the year. As for the woman's side, she can't arrange a job, but Luo Qiang goes to work, but he has nineteen yuan a month, and it will be even worse if he becomes a regular in a few years, he can eat commercial grain. Let the Liu family think about it, if their daughter marries, she will not suffer much.
If you don't agree, just ask the matchmaker to introduce another one. Thinking that his two sons would be able to go to work next year, Uncle Luo Wen told the matchmaker that he would be introduced and give him five catties of food.
This made the matchmaker very happy, since Luo Qiang would have a job, she didn't believe that Luo Wu would lie to him. After all, he is Luo Cheng's own uncle, and this statement is still credible. If you have a job, you are a little shorter, but it is easy to find a good girl in the town. If the Liu family's side becomes the best, if it doesn't, she also feels that the five catties of grain are decided.
And what is really unhappy this year is the aunt's family, even if it is the biological father, he is patriarchal. Uncle Wang Lin directly planned to push away the relatives in the county, and he felt that he could climb the in-laws in a county town, but now it seems that it is not cost-effective to exchange two job places for in-laws in the county.
The eldest uncle directly told the eldest aunt that the water spilled by the married daughter was not because he didn't want to be good to his daughter. But this is a job, and one job in the countryside is enough to change the fate of a family. This is given to the daughter, to the future son-in-law, what can their Wang family get. And their family has four babies, why does Wang Yue want to marry when she is only sixteen years old, it's not that there are too many babies in the family, and they are not very old, so they want to reduce the burden.
If they go to work on their own and raise a few half-grown boys, it won't be a problem. So not only is there a slot, they have to go to work. Even if Yueyue followed Luo Cheng to work in the city, she would have to send at least a dozen yuan back every month. And two years later, when Wang Yue's younger brother grows up, her job has to be given up.
When the eldest uncle said this, the eldest aunt Luo Juan almost turned her face directly, did she treat her daughter like this. But after thinking about it carefully, this time her husband is actually rude, and it is right to think about his daughter, but when they are old, they still have to rely on their son to support their old age. Now the two sons are still young, and they may not fight, but they have grown up. What would they think later if they had the opportunity to go to work and not have to dig in the field?
And the family's expenses are really large, unlike the eldest brother Luo Wen's family, at least the sons and daughters are older, and they can go to the field to earn work without a job. And their family, a half-grown boy, worked in the fields, and their hands and feet were worn out, and they didn't have more than half of the work.
The same as the aunt, in fact, there is also the idea of patriarchy, which is caused by the general environment, who makes everyone can only rely on their sons when they are old in the future. The thoughts are all subtle, and even the aunt herself may not be clear, her patriarchal thinking is still more serious, such as her own nephews, who may be heavier than her own daughters.
If there is really a day when a nephew can't marry a wife, it will reach the point where they have to exchange with each other, that is, they will exchange their daughters for daughters-in-law. Maybe go and beg my aunt, and my aunt will really think about it. Moreover, the aunt is in Luo Cheng's house, and her attitude towards Luo Cheng and Bingzi is completely different from her attitude towards Xiaoyu and Shishi.
Talking to Luo Cheng and them is basically a respectful tone, and talking to Xiaoyu and them is the tone of the elders' orders.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest aunt of the eldest aunt was also personally persuading Wang Yue, asking her to listen to her parents for the sake of her family. And if she marries in the future, this is her mother's family, if her two younger brothers have jobs in the future, who she marries will not be able to support her. For example, Xiaoyu and Shishi of her uncle's family, they will marry in the future, who can not take a fancy to them. Luo Cheng and Bingzi are their maternal brothers, if anyone bullies Xiaoyu and them in the future, then they won't go to the door.
And Wang Yue is also a simple country girl, sixteen years old, who is sensible, but in fact, she can understand so much. If you really want to understand, maybe she herself has been brainwashed by the times, and she thinks that her mother is right, there are two younger brothers at home, and she is a girl, so she can't compete with her younger brother. and went to work in the city, Xiaoyu and the others said that they only needed to pay five yuan to their cousin, and they didn't have to worry about anything else.
Well, the salary, when you get it, it depends on what you do, the easy work is only eighteen yuan five, and the man's handling work is nineteen yuan five. In this case, in addition to five dollars, there will be thirteen or fourteen dollars. When the time comes, give ten yuan to the family, and you can save a few dollars for yourself. It's beautiful to think about. And I'm only sixteen, and it's nothing to marry two years later.
The eldest uncle, Wang Lin, saw that his daughter-in-law and daughter's ideological work had been completed, and they all jumped up excitedly. Although the other job quota was to let his daughter-in-law Luo Juan do it, after all, it was a job arranged by her own nephew, and he was really embarrassed to propose to go to work by himself. But the daughter-in-law doesn't earn as much money as she earns, and the daughter has to pay ten yuan every month.
In this Chinese New Year's Eve, the eldest uncle really wants to tell his younger brothers and sisters over there about this, and their Wang family will live a good life in the future.
And the other relatives of Luo Cheng's family basically talked about this work last night and today, but they didn't have as many moths as the uncle and aunt's family.
Only Luo Chengjia, who is in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, only pays attention to eating and drinking. At noon, the goose was eaten, and the father and the soldiers drank white wine. In the evening, I prepare to make dumplings, hoping that everyone will always be reunited like this in the future.
And, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I'm going to pay New Year's greetings. And Rowan is the boss of the Luo family, and grandma is still living here, and many relatives will come here tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. Other people Luo Cheng can't control it, grandma's side, Luo Cheng has already prepared a lot of change, all of which are banknotes, with cents and dimes, and some are given one by one.
When grandma saw a piece, she felt that it was a joke, everyone had no money in the past two years, and the rural towns and villages now don't give New Year's money. Even if life is better, it's okay to give a child a cent or two, how can you give a piece.
And Luo Cheng said, if the child is small, they will also give you a New Year's greeting tomorrow, but Luo Cheng, how old they are, they are all your grandsons, and their own grandchildren have to give a piece.
When grandma heard Luo Cheng say this, she put the money away with a smile, and said with a smile, grandma has no money, and if she has money, she will leave it to my eldest grandson.
