Chapter 4: What about Chen Yi
Jiang Jianmin ignored Mrs. Li, who was messing around, and looked at the old man Jiang who was smoking a dry cigarette at the door, "Dad, if Mom makes trouble again, we will split up, I am the boss, you two will follow me, my daughter, and you are not qualified to marry her to someone else." Now is not the past, not an arranged marriage, you two think about it. ”
Mrs. Li screamed again, scolding her unfilial son.
The eldest married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother, and she didn't even have a son, even if the family was separated, they wouldn't follow the boss.
But if the family is separated, Chen Xiuyun's subsidy will not fall into the public middle school, and Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xinyu's bride price will not be able to subsidize the family in the future, how can this be divided!
Listening to Mrs. Li's "whooping" voice, Old Man Jiang shouted: "Shut up, it's not enough to make trouble, let others listen to jokes." ”
Jiang Jianmin was too lazy to watch his father pretend.
After so many years at home, he already knew what his father and mother looked like. His mother took the lead at all times, and his father was silent behind him, but he knew that his father was still in charge of the family, and without his father's permission, his mother would not have made such a fuss, so it can be seen that his father had no opinion on this marriage.
Jiang Jianmin glanced at the two younger siblings, and let the two of them laugh, and then he went to the town to retire with his things.
But this time, I didn't come back that night, and I saw Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xinyu in the river when they went to find someone.
In winter, it is cold, there is a river from the town to the village, it is frozen, many people will dig a hole to catch fish and eat a meat, and there are also children in the village who play on it during the day, no one thought that the middle place would crack, and Jiang Jianmin would die quietly in the glacier.
When he tried his best to fish people up, Jiang Jianmin was already out of breath, and everyone was stiff.
Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu sisters cried breathlessly.
Mrs. Li and Old Man Jiang also cried.
Selfishness is selfishness, but Jiang Jianmin is the eldest son of the two after all, how can he have no feelings? The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and Mrs. Li collapsed.
Mrs. Li beat and kicked Jiang Xinyu, saying that if it weren't for her, her son would not have died.
Jiang Xinyu blamed herself very much, she always regretted thinking that if she agreed to the marriage of the Yao family, her father would not have withdrawn from the family with a gift, and he would not have died.
Except for Jiang Yuzhu, everyone in the Jiang family regarded her as a sinner, and the look in her eyes made her hate to go with her father.
The third aunt Zhang Fengmei said bluntly that if she agreed, her father would not die! Jiang Baoqin also said regretfully when comforting her: "Don't be uncomfortable, the uncle is doing all this for you, although the uncle is gone, as long as you are good, he must have no regrets." ”
How can Jiang Xinyu be good?
Even she herself thinks that if she wants, her father will not die if he does not quit his family, and she is to blame.
On the night of Jiang Jianmin's burial, Jiang Xinyu went to the river north of the village, smashed the hole dug by the villagers wider, and then jumped in.
Jiang Xinyu didn't know that when she went to the north of the village, a figure followed her all the time, watching someone go over there, and stopped the person.
When I woke up again, it was Jiang Xinyu of the modern soul.
Jiang Xinyu only felt that this sleep was very unstable, and her dreams were messy, and when she saw Mrs. Li screaming there, she hated to give this old lady a kick.
Jiang Jianmin is a good father, can his death depend on the original owner? The Jiang family didn't dare to blame Mrs. Li, so they caught the original owner and bullied them.
When Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes, it was dark outside. Before going to bed, I was in a panic, not cool at all, but now I am much more comfortable, but because of a lot of sweating, I especially want to take a hot bath.
The musty smell from the quilt on her body told her that everything that happened today was not a dream, and her soul penetrated to the countryside in 1976, becoming a well-known village girl in ten miles and eight towns, and her father had just died.
She thought of her own grandfather, and she didn't know how uncomfortable she would be when she heard the news of her car accident.
I don't know where Chen Yi went.
She hadn't forgotten the way he pulled himself over and hugged her head over his chest when the truck hit.
Jiang Xinyu's urine, sitting up and putting on a cotton jacket in the dark, ready to solve physiological problems.
Now in the early January of the solar calendar, just a few days after New Year's Day, the weather is still very cold, and the old Jiang family is not very interested in nesting in the house after the funeral.
Jiang Xinyu went out of the courtyard to find an unbearable latrine, for fear that she would fall down if she stepped on the plank, it was too dark, and she was afraid that she would step on the wrong place and step into it, so she went to the toilet tremblingly.
From the memory of the original owner, Jiang Xinyu learned that the pig manure and human manure in these years are all farm fertilizer, which is to be sprinkled into the field, and the work will be divided according to the amount, almost every household will dig a pit and put a soil embryo bucket, and then put two wooden planks on it, and then surround a fence pile, and a simple thatched toilet will be done.
Jiang Xinyu held her breath and walked out of the toilet, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw two people squatting in front of the stove, the stove was lit with sporadic fires, and the fragrance of sweet potatoes came from inside.
In these years, fine grains are not easy to obtain, but sweet potatoes are often eaten.
Jiang Yuzhu saw her, beckoned, and then took out a sweet potato with a burning stick, "Little sister, come here and warm up, and eat the sweet potato when it is not very hot in a while." ”
Jiang Yuzhu hasn't eaten in Jiang's house for the past few days, or Jiang Pandi from the second aunt's family left her a nest, and the fine food at home was locked and locked by Mrs. Li, so only the sweet potatoes piled up there could be roasted and eaten.
Jiang Pandi looked at Jiang Xinyu, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked, "The fever has subsided?" ”
Jiang Xinyu stretched out her hand and roasted in front of the stove, "um".
Jiang Pandi felt that it was cold outside, shrunk her neck and said, "I'll go back to sleep, you two should go back quickly, otherwise it will freeze again, and you will have to spend money." ”
Jiang Pandi left, the sisters roasted for a while, and the sweet potato could be held in her hand, Jiang Yuzhu handed the sweet potato to Jiang Xinyu and asked her to take it back to the house, and she went back with the tea bottle.
When she returned to the house, Jiang Pandi took out the peach cake wrapped in yellow paper from the bedside, put three pieces in the bowl, and then ran away with the hot water in the tea bottle and handed it to Jiang Xinyu.
This peach cake was bought by Chen Xiuyun from the supply and marketing cooperatives before she left and secretly put it in her daughter's house, if Mrs. Li knew, then the two of them would definitely not be able to keep it.
"You must be hungry, drink it while it's hot, okay and fast."
Jiang Xinyu saw Jiang Yuzhu take out a multigrain nest with many black spots from her arms, which was made of sorghum flour, sweet potato flour and cornmeal.
This kind of wowotou, in later generations, belongs to miscellaneous grains, fat loss and nutrition, but now, it is the food of most people, steamed bread made of white flour, that is a rare thing, and I am not willing to eat it several times a year.
The peach crisp softened in the hot water, the sweet potato exuded a sweet smell, and Jiang Yuzhu ate the nest head one by one.
Jiang Xinyu felt really uncomfortable in her heart, the second sister of the original owner was really a pretty good sister.
