The grandmother said: "Jiang Xing is the descendant of our Jiang family, so he won't let him stray outside. Please help everyone, I will help him, anyway, it can pull him up. But one more Jiang Yue No, there are so many mouths to eat inside and out, and none of them will do. If you want to take her to remarry, it will not be easy to find someone else, so it is better to send her to a home without children and let others take care of it. I will help you. I've inquired about it, in the Great Wilderness Village, there is a—"
Before the grandma's words were finished, Jiang Xiumei suddenly stood up and said with a gloomy face: "Grandma, I don't want to talk back to you because I think you are an elder, but I don't want to hear it again!"
"You, what do you mean? I'm all here for your own good! You are a woman, and it's hard enough to support yourself. How can you raise two children? Yue. With so many brothers, which family has few children? You listened to our arrangement and remarryed."
It's a tough time these days, and it's not uncommon for a few people to starve to death accidentally. Most of the children were born without food and died on the kang.
They are willing to help raise Jiang Xing, which is already kind. Why doesn't Jiang Xiumei know what's good or bad
If she doesn't remarry, how can she live
He usually looks like a shrewd person, why is he so stubborn at this time
The grandmother looked at her and felt that she was unreasonable.
Jiang Xiumei looked at her and also felt that she was unreasonable.
Jiang Xiumei said: "My children, of course, are my own. The two of them are so grown up that they have never eaten a single grain of rice from someone else's family.
"We are here for your own good!"
"Then I thank you, but I don't need it!"
Jiang Xiumei was very angry, and her great-grandmother was also very angry. The two quarreled in the room and finally broke up. Before she left, the great-grandmother spat at her, saying that her dog bit Lu Dongbin, she didn't know good people, and sooner or later she would suffer a lot and suffer retribution. No matter what difficulties the Jiang family encounters in the future, she will no longer care about Yunyun.
After taking the people away, Jiang Xiumei also went back to the house with a gloomy face, cursing a few times, saying that she was unlucky.
If she remarries, will the Jiang family's ancestral family still get a dowry money
Oh, it's a really good abacus, and I want to give her daughter to someone else, I have to ask her if she agrees!
Jiang Xiumei just finished cursing in her heart, when Jiang Yue, who overheard the adults talking, covered her mouth and cried secretly.
Jiang Yue only felt that the sky was falling.
She was shedding tears, and she looked at Jiang Xiumei with hazy eyes, but did not speak. But the child's watery eyes, full of tears, seemed like a knife had been inserted into Jiang Xiumei's heart, making her breathless in pain.
Jiang Xiumei pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you crying? What about mourning? Your dad didn't cry enough at that time? What's there to cry about?"
Jiang Yue was even more afraid. She grabbed her fingers and said at a loss: "Mom, I will eat less food, I will be good, I will work, I will watch over my brother, I don't want to go woo woo... I want to stay by my mother's side, don't send me away."
Jiang Yue choked: "Mom... Mom, I don't want to be sent away, I don't want to leave my mother, I don't want to leave my brother. I want to stay here, don't send me away."
The little girl's voice was glutinous and soft, crying and begging her like this, even Jiang Xiumei's heart softened. She couldn't hold it, she couldn't hold back after a few times, hugged Jiang Yue and cried, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Don't worry, no one can give you away, you are my daughter, I won't let go, no one can What to do with you. Mom will bring you up, and no one is allowed to separate us!"
At this moment, Jiang Xiumei was ruthless, and her eyes showed a little red.
Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried.
Since then, Jiang Xiumei has been busier.
Her man just left, and she did all the work in the team by herself. The crops had to be grouted, weeded, and fertilized.
When the crops grow up, there will be autumn harvest, straw cutting, and grain harvesting.
In particular, cutting straw and harvesting grain is the most difficult life.
If you have to grab it first, bend over and bend for a whole day, and then knock out the rice, you can get a prickly heat all over your body. Then the grain is sent to the drying field, dried together, and then hulled.
The production team has a unified grain drying field, which is some distance away from the farming fields. The production team didn't have enough mules, horses and cattle, so people had to carry the grain back home.
The work is heavy work, a bag of undried rice weighs hundreds of pounds, and a big man can't stand up straight after a day's work.
Generally speaking, no one is willing to do it, even the strongest man, but Jiang Xiumei is willing.
She is happy to earn more work points for carrying rice.
Jiang Xiumei was the only one who was most willing to do the work that others could not avoid. For several days, she had finished harvesting the rice and then went to transport the grain. After suffering like this for several days, blood marks were strangled on Jiang Xiumei's back.
The old traces are still not healed, the new ones are pressed up again, the shoulders are so swollen, and I can't sleep at night, always moaning and moaning in pain.
Jiang Yue looked anxious in her eyes.
"Brother, let's go help mom with the work."
Jiang Xing is now a lot more obedient, but boys love skin, and they are locked at home every day and are not allowed to go anywhere. They have long been tired of it. Hearing what her sister said, Jiang Xing's eyes lit up immediately and nodded: "Okay, okay."
Jiang Yue soon found a small bamboo basket from the utility room at home, holding Jiang Xing with one hand, and the sister and brother walked hand in hand to the field.
At that time, Jiang Yue was five or six years old, with a small stature, like a chicken, and Jiang Xing was even smaller, but only three years old.
The two little radishes were holding hands and walking on the ridge together, looking like a small one who could fall down at any time.
The weather is hot in the noon, even the most skinny children have to hide in the house and do not want to go out. Even if adults are working in the fields, they should avoid the hottest noon time and choose to enjoy the shade under the shade of trees. Waiting for the worst of the day to pass before continuing to work.
Therefore, these two children appeared here, attracting the attention of a large number of people.
"Jiang Yue and Jiang Xing, what are you doing here?"
"Did you bring food to mom?"
"I haven't seen you for a while, and I've grown so big."
Everyone was chattering, calling them.
Jiang Xing is relatively timid, hiding behind his sister, poking his head and daring to speak. Jiang Yue said boldly, "I, let's help my mother pick up rice."
When the rice is being threw, some will fall outside, and someone will need to pick it up afterwards. It is meticulous and time-consuming, but because there are not many work points, no one does it. Hearing what these two children said, the adults were silent for a while, originally wanting to say that you are too young to do much work, but on second thought, the situation of the Jiang family is really bad enough. Thinking about Jiang Xiumei's ruthlessness these days, she didn't say anything.
Someone pointed to a field ridge, "It's there, it's just hit there, and no one has picked it up yet. Go and pick it up, remember to go to the captain to record your work points."
Jiang Yue thanked him and ran over with Jiang Xing.
Originally thought that these two children would not be able to endure hardships. As soon as the sun was hot and the days were long, they would definitely give up. Unexpectedly, they stayed here for an afternoon. When the adults finished work in the evening, they also picked up one. Basket of rice.
Even the captain was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two of them and praised: "These two children are really good, they can work at such a young age."
Although the boys in the family are used by half the adults, they only start working when they are seven or eight years old. It is said that it is work, but in fact, it is not willing to do it. It is only willing to work with a bamboo pole, one by one like an uncle.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Xing are so well behaved, adults like it very much.
The captain still had a wowtou left for lunch. He went home to eat dinner. After thinking about it, he took it out and gave it to them: "Uncle still has a wowow left. You can take it and eat it. It's not easy to work for a day."
Saying that, he also gave them half a work point, using Jiang Xiumei's name.
Jiang Yue's eyes were sparkling, and she pulled Jiang Xing to run home.
The next day, Jiang Yue came with Jiang Xing again.
The siblings don't cry or make trouble. They can do whatever they want. Sometimes they help with a sickle, run errands, and so on. They are very diligent.
Originally, the captain was still afraid that the children would be small and would be in trouble, but gradually he acquiesced and let them also work to earn points.
Jiang Xiumei still works as a cow and a horse, transporting food diligently. By the time she knew about it, it was already the second day.
She found Jiang Yue, stared at her sternly, and did not speak.
Jiang Yue was frightened, watching her only sobbing and tears welling up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiumei didn't say anything. After looking at her for a long time, she just sighed and said, "It's our fault. If you have the ability, how can you endure hardship at such a young age? Children of the village chief. In school, the village secretary's children are also in school, but all the children in the family who have some foundation are in school. It is not easy for us to have a stutter, and we can't expect it. Originally, your father and I planned to send them to school next fall. You go to the school. You will be at the right age by then, you will learn a little bit, you will know a few words, you will be able to count, and when you grow up, you can be an accountant in the team and settle accounts. You don’t have to work so hard. It's a pity that your father's life is not good, people say that he will be gone. "
Jiang Yue heard that her mother was not scolding her, and asked timidly, "I don't study anymore, I don't want to study, I just want to accompany my mother."
I don't think Jiang Xiumei heard it, and slapped her fiercely, "Look at your prodigy! Isn't there a choice? If there is a choice, if you say something like this, I'll beat you to death! Do you have to do that mud leg?"
Jiang Yue was startled again.
"Forget it, I can't tell you."
Jiang Xiumei sighed again: "Have you seen the person who usually keeps track of work points? Why does he make money and earn wages without working? Isn't it because he is studying? As long as I recognize a word, hum."
"Is it hard enough to read words?"
Jiang Xiumei gestured at the thick calluses on her hands and the bloodstains on her shoulders, and said, "I don't know if it's hard work. Anyway, it's hard work like me."
Yeah, it's hard work.
Jiang Yue saw it all.
She really wanted to help her mother, she wanted her mother to live a good life, and she didn't want to be given away.
Is it enough to read? It's a way after all. She was too young to think of any other way.
But school fees are very expensive.
Jiang Yue thought, she has to think of a way, she can't just sit still.
