Chapter 3: Sleep soundly
Ji Yuanhai's mother left the hall in a huff after leaving the next sentence, and this time the family meeting was not over yet.
Grandpa opened his mouth and said, "Boss, your daughter-in-law doesn't care, we are in charge; You're a father, too. ”
"Yuanshan is unwilling to get married, Yuanhai is willing, let's talk to the brigade and let Yuanhai marry that female intellectual."
"That's it."
Ji Yuanhai's father nodded: "Dad, I know." ”
"After getting married, what will happen to the house of these two children?"
"Wonsan comes to the hall house and adds a small bed to make do." Grandpa said, "Westinghouse is where Yuanhai and his family live." ”
"Yuan Hai—"
Ji Yuanhai responded: "Grandpa, you say." ”
"Westinghouse is for you to live in, but when your eldest brother Yuanshan gets married in the future, you have to find a new way." Grandpa said, "In my life, I raised your father, your second uncle, and third uncle, and married your aunt to a good family." ”
"But you are a grandchild, I can't worry too much about you one by one."
"After you get married, you have to figure out how to start a family; It's really not good, learn some crafts, such as pulling adobe to build a house or something, and then we will build two rooms with a dozen people, and it will be another home. ”
Grandpa said a good word, if Ji Yuanhai lives honestly in the countryside from now on, he will not suffer a loss in doing so.
From the perspective of rural people, grandpa can be regarded as a long-term vision, and helped Ji Yuanhai arrange all the things about starting a family alone in the future.
But the premise of all this is based on the premise that Heiken honestly stays in the countryside and continues to earn work.
Ji Yuanhai was not impetuous enough to scoff at this kind of old man's kind words, and nodded seriously: "Grandpa, I know." ”
"Then this matter is settled." Grandpa took a deep puff of his cigarette, just finished smoking in the dry tobacco pouch, and knocked the ashes of the cigarette pot.
Ji Yuanhai spoke again.
"Grandpa, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow."
Grandpa and father looked at him with a frown.
"What are you resting for? Are you a lazy person before you get married? ”
"You're resting, what should we do with our housework?"
"If you can't keep up with this work day and day, you won't be able to keep up with it every day, and by the end of the year, no one will have more money and more food. Yuan Hai, if you dare to be lazy, I will really beat you! ”
Ji Yuanhai looked at his grandfather and father and glared, and thought to himself: It's really hard in the countryside, and the labor intensity is no less than that of the workers, and the sweet potato noodles are not full.
Sometimes, you even have to find a way to eat wild vegetables and bad sweet potatoes......
A little lazy, scolded at home, and laughed at the village, they all felt rebellious.
Ji Yuanhai really has to explain it clearly today, otherwise his grandfather and father will never allow him to "not work" tomorrow.
"Grandpa, I have to go see Lu Heling tomorrow."
Grandpa suddenly snorted: "Look at your useless appearance!" ”
"When it comes to getting married, as soon as the brigade takes the lead, can she still disagree? After you get married, you can see enough, what do you need to watch now? ”
When Ji Yuanshan heard this, he covered his mouth and snickered.
He felt that this was just fun - his younger brother wanted to see his new daughter-in-law go, and he obviously couldn't help it.
Ji Yuanhai said: "Grandpa, don't think so, she really doesn't necessarily agree to this." ”
"Think about it, she is a female intellectual, and now that her father and mother are gone, it is impossible to return to the city."
"She actually has another way besides marrying me."
Grandparents and fathers were surprised: "Huh? Where else does she go? ”
"Dead!"
Ji Yuanhai said in a deep voice: "If she goes to a dead end, it's one thing for me to not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, what is the reputation of our family?" ”
"Because the child is going to get married, he forced a desperate female intellectuals to death."
"Our family is Huang Shiren?"
As soon as Ji Yuanhai's words fell, Grandpa immediately couldn't sit still, stood up, and shouted, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense! ”
In this era, who is an old peasant who dares to compare himself to Huang Shiren, a landlord, and doesn't want to live anymore, right?
Ji Yuanhai said: "Yes, grandpa, I don't say anything nonsense, and I won't say a word when I leave the house." ”
"But the truth is that if Lu Heling marries me, it's fine, if she doesn't marry me, it will be a dead end, and our family's reputation will definitely be ruined."
"If you can't marry your daughter-in-law, you will become a bad person, which is not worth it."
After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, his grandparents, father, and Ji Yuanshan all looked at him together.
"Uh, what's wrong? Am I not right? Ji Yuanhai was surprised.
"That's exactly what you say." Grandpa said, "It's just that you didn't understand so much before, and what you're talking about today is the Tao, like a meeting with the secretary of the brigade." ”
"The sun is still shrewd to you today?"
Ji Yuanhai saw that his grandfather was mainly curious, and a little joking, so he laughed: "No matter how shrewd I am, I don't have the shrewdness of your abacus." ”
"This kid!" Grandpa really laughed and didn't ask any more.
"Tomorrow you will rest for a day and see what that Lu Heling means; If she really wants to go to a dead end, our family won't have a bad reputation. ”
"Well, I see, grandpa."
This is the end of the family meeting, and Ji Yuanhai and his eldest brother Ji Yuanshan return to Westinghouse.
After entering the house, the two of them lay on the bed, and the eldest brother muttered: If I had known that you would have kicked me out of the West House when you got married, I wouldn't have given my daughter-in-law to you.
Ji Yuanhai laughed when he heard this: "Brother, I will definitely find you a good daughter-in-law in the future!" ”
Ji Yuanshan also laughed twice, not taking it to heart.
The two brothers fell asleep in front of the dark adobe house.
This sleep was extraordinarily long, and Ji Yuanhai only felt light and his body was full, as if he had returned to his carefree childhood, when he fell asleep without thinking about anything after a day of crazy play.
Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai got up and stretched, and his bones and joints crackled a few times.
It's so good, is the air so good in this era?
Sleep is good, too.
Eating a half sweet potato noodle nest can also be in such a good state?
Ji Yuanhai really felt that he was in better shape than ever, and looking at the leaves of the jujube trees outside, he felt that it seemed to be a little greener than yesterday.
When he raised his eyes and saw his mother coming out of the east room, his mother glared at him, obviously still annoyed that he would not obey.
Ji Yuanhai didn't say anything more.
The mother didn't seem to agree to marry the female educated youth, but she actually wanted him to give away her daughter-in-law to others, of course Ji Yuanhai couldn't agree to this kind of thing.
I don't go out to work today to earn work, and Ji Yuanhai didn't eat breakfast, this is to save food for the family, which is considered sensible, and it is also to avoid being looked down upon by my mother again.
Besides, when he woke up from this sleep, he was in an unusually good state, and he was really not hungry.
Coming out of the house, Ji Yuanhai walked towards the team headquarters.
The Xiaoshantun Production Brigade received five men, three women and eight educated youths, three female intellectuals lived in one room at the team site, and the other two male intellectuals barely lived in another hut.
The remaining three couldn't squeeze in, so they had to be arranged in the home of the lonely old man.
Ji Yuanhai wanted to find Lu Heling, a female intellectual, so naturally he came to the team site of the production team early in the morning.
