The new home was finally arranged properly, and Wen Qing put the work on the agenda. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their family does not have the income of Minglu. Now it is good to have the fifty catties of grain brought by the Wang family as a cover, but it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
Therefore, Wen Qing took Da Chuan to the captain's house. The siblings had never worked before because they were too thin. Although they have been raised for a few days now, nothing has changed. They still have the same big head and thin limbs. The team leader also knew their situation, and after a little thought, he arranged for them the work of threshing cattle grass, which was relatively easy and they could do it. This is because the captain deliberately took care of them, but in order not to let the villagers gossip, he only counted four work points a day.
And children as old as them usually get five or six work points for a day's work. They only remember four, which is indeed a small number, but Wen Qing has no objection. She is not a real child anymore, so she can see Come out the captain is taking care of them.
Besides, she didn't intend to stay in this small mountain village all the time, she went to work just to avoid arousing suspicion!
"Now you live in Beishan, you are close to those people in the cowshed, and you will send cattle and grass there in the future, but don't get too close to those people, they are all bad elements, if you get close to them, you will be criticized Yes!" Finally, the captain instructed them again.
Wen Qing quickly assured, "We will definitely not associate with them! I know they are all stinky old nines!"
After leaving the captain's house, Okawa asked, "Sister, the captain won't let us get close to those people, so shall we still associate with them?"
Wen Qing thought for a while and said, "Dachuan, although those people have been beaten as bad elements, they are not actually bad people. Dad and grandma beat and scolded us all day long, and they didn't give us food. Do you think they are good people? Grandpa Xu and the others When we had nothing, he lent us pots, and Uncle Xu also helped us repair windows, can you say they are bad people? Good or bad is not what others say, you have to believe what you see with your own eyes.”
Okawa nodded half-understanding, "I'll listen to my sister."
Wen Qing told him again, "But you still have to avoid people when dealing with them, after all, the general environment is like this."
Yes, the general environment is like this... Every time Wen Qing said this sentence, he always felt unspeakably depressed. People in this era are so poor that it makes people feel distressed, but they are also ridiculously stupid. How many families were destroyed by the Cultural Revolution, how many cultures were cut off, it makes you want to hate the ignorance of this country. But when you see its poverty and weakness, you can't help being angry and mourning its misfortune, and want to do something to change it.
It's just that a person's power is so small, it only makes people feel powerless.
After returning home, Da Chuan went to the back mountain again, hoping to try his luck on the last day he didn't go to work. In the past few days, he found a few more "pheasants", and ate one at home, and Wen Qing made the rest into marinated meat, and planned to save more to sell in the city.
Wen Qing carried a chicken into the kitchen, where Xu Niansheng was cooking. This time he was the only one, and the other three hadn't come back yet.
Seeing her, Xu Niansheng smiled, "Have you guys not cooked yet? I'll be ready soon."
As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the pot, and a gust of hot air hit his face, blurring the lens instantly. He took off his glasses, wiped off the moisture, and put them on again.
Wen Qing's sharp eyes allowed her to see Xu Niansheng's face clearly in just a few seconds. It turns out that the heroine described in Mary Su's novels who wears glasses and looks like a fairy without them really exists.
Xu Niansheng has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, narrow and enchanting, very beautiful. The brilliance was blocked by glasses before, but it was not so obvious. Now that he took off his glasses, his handsome appearance was immediately upgraded to a monstrous one. Of course, he is not ugly with glasses on, but he is not as stunning as taking them off.
Wen Qing handed him the chicken in his hand, "We've eaten it, I'll give you another meal."
When she came in, Xu Niansheng saw the chicken in her hand, thought she brought it for cooking, but didn't think she was for him, so he quickly refused, "No, no, this is too expensive , I can't have it."
Wen Qing stuffed the chicken into his hand, "It's nothing valuable, I picked it up from the back mountain, Dachuan was lucky, and picked up a lot," she said, sitting in front of the stove and helping him to light the fire , "I came to you to do something, how can you be ashamed to ask you to do something if you don't accept me?"
"What's the matter? You say, I will help you if I can do it. It doesn't have to be so expensive."
Wen Qing looked up at him and saw that his face was sincere, which didn't look like a polite expression, "Take it away, even if it's not for yourself, think about it for the elderly in the family. The elderly are old and weak, so cook some soup to nourish them." Besides, you still have a son, son, son!"
She accentuated the word son, Xu Niansheng blushed suddenly, but did not insist on refusing, "Then I will accept it, thank you."
"No thanks, I told you I have something to do with you," Wen Qing added to the flames, but was stopped by Xu Niansheng. People in the village would drop by and help with work, but Xu Niansheng was embarrassed to ask for help for no reason. Qing also followed him, and continued the topic just now, "I want you to teach my brother to read."
"Study?" Xu Niansheng was taken aback. Classes have been suspended all over the country. In some places, even schools have been smashed. Scholars suffer the most serious persecution. At this time, this little girl actually asked him to teach her brother to read
"Well, I know you have to teach your son to read every day. Teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. Okawa has no foundation, and it may take some effort. I wonder if you want to?"
Wen Qing mentioned his son again, this time Xu Niansheng calmed down a lot, Wen Qing felt a little regretful, she still wanted to see him blush.
Xu Niansheng didn't know her little Jiujiu, so he adjusted his glasses and said, "Okay, I'll teach him."
"Hey, Uncle Xu, you are such a good person. I sincerely say that having a father like you must be very happy!"
Xu Niansheng blushed again, and finally came to his senses, "Little girl, you know that Jinyan is not my son, so you deliberately made fun of me, right?"
"Eh? Isn't Jinyan your son?" Wen Qing pretended to be stupid. Of course she knew that Xu Jinyan was not his son. One was 27 years old and the other was 13 years old. It was impossible!
In fact, Xu Jinyan is Xu Niansheng's nephew and his elder brother's son. It's just that when Xu Jinyan was nine years old, both of his parents were killed, and Xu Jinyan witnessed the scene with his own eyes, so he was frightened and almost followed him without eating, drinking or talking. At this time, Xu Niansheng, who had just returned to China, pretended to be his elder brother to take care of Xu Jinyan because he looked similar to his elder brother. Perhaps it was a familiar face, and Xu Jinyan slowly came out of the shadows.
But from then on, Xu Niansheng simply raised his nephew as his son. Except for some close people who knew the truth, others regarded them as father and son.
Wen Qing knew it, and she also saw it from the Stone of Rebirth, but the heroine didn't even know it.
Speaking of the heroine, Wen Qing suddenly remembered that Wang Qiumei should have been reborn by now, right
Wang Qiumei has indeed been reborn, and she is currently studying her space. There are ten acres of black land in her space, which can be used to grow things, and the time ratio between the space and the outside world is one to ten. In other words, the growth rate of the planted plants is ten times that of the outside world. In such an era of lack of food and clothing, this space is simply a life-saving artifact!
Wang Qiumei wept with joy, with it, she would never go hungry again! The eldest sister will not starve to death! The second sister will not be sold to a 50-year-old widower by grandma's seventy catties of grain! Thank God, not only let her live again, but also gave her such a treasure!
Wang Qiumei was born in a patriarchal family. There are two older sisters at the top, two younger sisters at the bottom, and a younger brother. Wang Qiumei is the third, and she is the middleman who doesn't love her mother or father.
Her father was the same as her, with three brothers, her father was the second child, he was neither the eldest son valued by grandpa nor the youngest son loved by grandma, he was the least valued one in the big family. Her mother gave birth to five girls in one go. In the eyes of patriarchal grandparents, the status of their family can be imagined. However, her father is dull and honest, her mother is weak and bunny, and the whole family is like a cow and a horse to serve the uncle and uncle and the two households.
In their previous life, they had five sisters, the eldest sister starved to death, the second sister was married to a widower, the fourth sister was married to the aunt’s lazy and greedy nephew, and the fifth sister had a better life when she married, but she was forced by her grandmother to marry her. After paying a bride price of three hundred yuan, she will not be able to hold her head up in her in-law's house for the rest of her life. She herself was not much better, afraid of being betrayed by her grandma, she found an educated youth herself, wanted nothing, and got married in a hurry, just to escape from that jackal's den.
However, she married someone who was not human. Jiang Chunyao looked good, and her looks were the best in the village. When she got married, many girls in the village envied her, but in the end, Jiang Chunyao abandoned her when she returned to the city. She was still pregnant with a child at that time. Sadly, the child was lost, and his body was injured and he could not give birth again. He was pointed at and pointed at in the village and couldn't hold his head up. In the end, he still didn't escape and was sold by his grandma again.
That family bought a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line. After finding out that she was unable to have children, one can imagine her fate. After being beaten and scolded for several years, she finally couldn't take it anymore and ran away, picking up trash on the street to make a living.
At this time, she saw Wang Dani'er, who was in the same village as her back then, who was wearing a beautiful little dress and sitting in a car, looking very foreign.
Later, she found out that Wang Dani was a neighbor of those stinky old nine who lived in Wangjiaao, and was adopted by their family. When they returned to the city, they took her to live a good life...
Wang Qiumei felt infinitely sad, the same people have different fates, how could she not have the good fate of Wang Dani? At the beginning, she was better off than Wang Dani, at least she had a father and a mother, but the other party was kicked out by the family. Fortunately, God took pity on her and allowed her to live a new life. This time she must seize the opportunity, and she will never be worse than Wang Dani!
