With the dim light of the kerosene lamp, the family went to sleep after cleaning up the housework. Although it was late summer and the weather was quite hot, fortunately, the design of the double-storey courtyard was quite reasonable and the ventilation structure was good. There was also a gutter connecting the inner and outer houses on the ground floor of the courtyard, which was also shady. The peasant family has been busy for a day during the day and there is no entertainment, so it would be better to go to bed early in the morning.
Qian Xiaohai has slept in the day, and he is not sleepy at the moment, but he just refuses to be honest. Qian Liqin gave him a few words from time to time, while nagging Yang Yong about wheat going to school. For example, last year, how much was the training fee for the son of XX, how much was the tuition, I don’t know if the wheat learning can keep up. Yang Yong has an old temper and should say a few words from time to time, basically Qian Liqin is singing the clarinet.
The latent wheat on the inner bed was not drowsy either. With his eyes open, there were black holes everywhere, and a faint light penetrated through the wooden lattice windows. The electricity in Nanjiang Village is connected, but I don’t know why, I always drop the chain, and I’m fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. There are really not many days when the lights are really turned on in a year. Farmers don’t have any electrical appliances, and they feel distressed about electricity bills, but they don’t feel inconvenient.
Tonight's Qianmai lost the interest in listening to the corner, and the figure of the second uncle Su Jiaru was spinning in his mind.
Originally hoped that the situation in this life could be different, but this wish broke when Qian Liqin pointed to Su Jiaru and said, "This is the second uncle." Based on this conversation this evening, it seems that the situation is still the same as in the previous life. Murphy's law is really ubiquitous, what is really afraid of.
When it comes to the relationship between this potential family and the second son-in-law Su Jiaru, it is really like an old woman's footcloth, smelly and long. Let Qianmai hate, and let Qianmai helpless. Thinking of these kinds of things, it was painful, Qianmai couldn't wait to pound the bedboard and yelled a few injustices.
It is said that when the grandfather and grandmother of the Qian Family were alive, the uncle Qian Yongli raised two sons, and his grandfather Qian Xili raised four daughters. I heard from adults that Qianmai once had a real uncle who was a few years older than his mother, Qian Liqin, but he died before reaching the age of three. Qian's grandparents were haggard for several years, and since then they have never given birth to a son.
The rural people's congresses have multiple sons over daughters, and the potential grandparents are no exception. Since then, good fields have been chosen first by the uncle's house, and the silver and copper plates have only been sent to the uncle's house. The depression of Qianjia's grandparents is obvious.
For many years, the daughter-in-law became a wife. When the Qianjia grandma became the master of the house, the old couple carefully observed the four daughters Qian Liying, Qian Liju, Qian Liqin, and Qian Lihua, and chose the most satisfactory two. Daughter Qian Liju decided to stay at home to recruit her son-in-law.
It happened that there was an orphan in the village, Su Jiaru, who had no father and no mother. Seeing that the Qian's family was interested in recruiting a son-in-law, the relatives in the other branch actually completed the rubbing together.
In other words, this Su family was lonely and helpless since he was a child, and grew up eating a hundred schools of food, but he is also a person who can speak and act with a glance. The grandmother of the potential family is the mother-in-law who sees her son-in-law more and more satisfied, for fear of the villagers gossiping, and treats him well, not letting him work.
But this is another matter in the eyes of Grandpa Qianjia. Glossy tongue, not doing farm work. I wanted to teach in a foreign village by myself and hire a young laborer to go home. Unexpectedly, I wanted to recruit back and became an ancestor who served delicious food and drink. Watching his other two little daughters go uphill to collect firewood and downhill to farm, Qian's grandfather is very dissatisfied with Su Jiaru. Finally, when Su Jiaru brought a large group of young lads and men from the village to the house to play around, the dissatisfaction rose to the extreme. Fearing that the two unmarried little daughters would suffer, the Qianjia grandfather proposed to recruit son-in-law again. At that time, Su Jiaru Qian Liju had one woman and two boys. Qianjia's grandma disagrees very much, Qian Liju is going to die and cry alive, and things are rioting. In the end, helpless with the determination of Qian's grandfather, he agreed to give Su Jia Ru Qian Liju a new set of furniture and pay 200 yuan to move them back to the Su family in the village to live alone.
Qianmai didn't know what the concept of 200 yuan was in the late 1970s. I heard from the adults that it was an astronomical figure in the farm at that time. The money was paid in installments, but so far, Qianjia's grandparents became Su Jiaru's ATM.
The task of recruiting son-in-law again fell on Qian Liqin, who was the most suitable for her age. The old couple were not very satisfied with this daughter. They suffered from hepatitis when they were young, their faces were yellow and thin, and their bones had been weak. Although the past two years have improved a bit, I still feel uncomfortable. As for the youngest daughter Qian Lie, she is still too young.
Maybe it is really destined. At this moment, Yang Yong bumped into him.
At that time, Yang Yong was a worker who built the asphalt road leading to Nanjiang Township, which happened to be near Nanjiang Village. After being introduced by the contractor, they met Qian Liqin. He didn't expect the two to hit it off. Since then, he has been stationed in Nanjiang Township.
History is always similar in blood. Yang Yongqian Liqin’s first two babies were girls. At this time, Su Jiaru Qian Liju had three boys and two girls before the strict implementation of the family planning policy. Qian's grandparents' dissatisfaction with Yang Yongqian Liqin also reached its culmination. It must be said that this is the reason why Qian Xiaohai was born and Qian's younger sister Cui Lingling was abandoned.
Thinking of the various entanglements between the former Su Family Ru Qian Liju and his father, thinking of the jealous and repulsive gazes of the Su family's children, Qian Mai was extremely depressed. Dad, for Mao, you want to come to this ravine for Mao, and to participate in this muddy water for Mao
In terms of geographical location, Nanjiang is a two-hour drive from Jintian County and Huayang City, while Luodian is only half an hour from Huayang City. If you talk about the wealth of the family, the Qianjia has only three points of Susuke, half a courtyard house, and even if the Qianjia's grandmother is not in good health, she still has such a mess of the Su family. Luodian has fields and land. The Yang family's grandparents and grandparents are quite healthy, and the five boys and two girls of the siblings are not struggling at all. In Luodian, Yang Yong didn't have the pressure to have children, and no one would say anything even if he wanted to be an only child. Now he was charged with abandoning his own daughter. For Mao, for Mao. Don't tell people, it's love. LOVE, that thing is extravagant in the countryside, we can't afford it.
Therefore, in the past and present life, Qianmai still can't figure out what his father thinks. As for these stinky long foot wraps, she was even less interested in turning over them. There is no regret for what has happened, and no fear for what has not happened. Close the door by yourself and live happily as a family is more important than anything else. The others care about him, ride a donkey, read the songbook, and walk around.
