The Xu family all lived in the same courtyard, with rooms next to each other. By this time everyone was up. Zhang Cuiqin wailed a few times, and quickly recruited the whole family.
Grandma Xu was the first to come out of the house. Although she was not yet sixty years old, although she was very thin, even Grandpa Xu would give way to her. He was the real head of the Xu family.
"What's the matter, what's the fuss this early in the morning?"
The long wooden stick in Grandma Xu's hand slammed the yellow mud floor hard, making a thumping sound.
When Zhang Cuiqin saw people coming, she immediately stopped howling, and ran over to say, "Mom, you came just in time. I am really wronged. We are all going to go to work, Erya is not up yet. I kindly call her , but she still blamed me, and said that Da Ya and Lei Zi went to the city to take her place. Mom, she is blaming you."
The daughters of the Xu family have no status. As soon as the baby girl was born, Grandma Xu gave her a nickname. The eldest is Xu Hong, the eldest, Xu Nannan is the second.
Of the five girls in the Xu family, three were born to Xu Nannan's parents. It is conceivable that the three of them are the most despised in this family.
When I was usually obedient, I didn't like it anyway, but now I heard that Erya didn't go to work and complained about the old man's decision. It was as if a firecracker had been lit, and Grandma Xu's face immediately became a little hideous.
"What's wrong, you're still complaining. You don't even think about it, why can you go to the city to enjoy the blessings, and Da Ya and the others have to live a hard life in the countryside. Why are you so cruel?!"
Grandma Xu was cursing while beating the ground with a ferocious expression, looking as scary as she wanted. The rest of the Xu family were gloating around, no one came to persuade them, and no one dared to persuade them.
Listening to Grandma Xu's unreasonable accusations, the only feeling in Xu Nannan's heart was to feel sorry for the original owner.
They have been working in the fields since they were twelve years old, and Xu Hong and Xu Meizi, who are similar to her, have food, drink, and school in the city. In the end, she was still ruthless.
Although Xu Nannan was not the one to suffer, she also knew that it was useless for her to resist at this time.
She is still too young to stand on her own. The village will not agree. As for leaving Xujia Village, don't even think about it. In this day and age, a letter of introduction is required to go to a market in the city. Without a city hukou, it is impossible to live in the city.
She simply acted as if she hadn't heard, standing at the door and looking at the ground.
Bear with it for now, and when she becomes an adult, she will bring Xu Xiaoman to set up her own family. As long as you give her time, she can always think of a way.
Seeing that she was honest, Grandma Xu calmed down, and said coldly, "You have to be the first to wake up from now on. You are young, don't develop the temperament of a daughter. Our family is not a landlord's house in the old society. I can't raise that lazy guy. I'm at your age, and I give the red army shoe soles every day. If I'm as useless as you, I could be killed with a single shot. How can there be such a heartless person like you Bitch?"
This is Grandma Xu's confidence. When I was young, I supported the Red Army, sewed clothes for the Red Army, and used shoe soles. Later, I was shot while covering the Red Army.
Such a glorious history is enough to make her respected in Xujia Village. Even Grandpa Xu, the head of the family, had to abdicate to the virtuous.
As if hearing that Grandma Xu's anger had dissipated, Grandpa Xu came out of the house dragging his cloth shoes, wearing a piece of clothing and smoking tobacco in his mouth. Unlike grandma Xu's thin body, although grandpa Xu is thin, he has a big frame and looks tall.
The Xu family's sons have all followed Grandpa Xu's figure.
Glancing at Xu Nannan, Grandpa Xu frowned, "What's the matter, it's early in the morning, and no one is allowed to rest. Why should I go? What are you doing?"
Hearing Grandpa Xu's words, although Zhang Cuiqin was still a little unconvinced, she didn't dare to make trouble anymore. No matter how old the lady is, she still kisses the old man. If she annoys the old man, the old lady can fight her hard. She snorted, and pulled her man, Xu Jianhai, out.
The third aunt Liu Qiao came over and pulled Xu Nannan, and said softly, "Erya, let's go too."
In Xu Nannan's memory, Liu Qiao was the kindest person in the family, neither fighting nor grabbing. When facing the two sisters, they are also very affectionate, unlike the sneering bullying of the second aunt Zhang Cuiqin.
But... Xu Nannan smiled, "Okay, Third Aunt."
Looking at her smiling face, Liu Qiao secretly felt a little puzzled, but couldn't figure out what was so strange. Xindao is just a child, so there is nothing strange about it.
After everyone had left, Grandpa Xu said, "Let's not say a few words in the future, the old family has raised a few children, and now if the two young ones have a bad life in the village, it will make people laugh."
Grandma Xu snorted, "You don't need to say it, my heart is bright, but this girl is not in a good mood, I have to suppress it. Now I'm starting to complain, and one day I will run to the boss behind my back and cry, and the boss will What if the time changes again?"
Grandpa Xu exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, "It's not good for you to treat Boss like this."
"What's wrong?" Grandma Xu frowned, suddenly unhappy. "I am also a bowl of water. How can he live a good life, while the second and third families have to suffer. The Communist Party will not allow this to happen."
Speaking of the Communist Party, Grandma Xu's face is full of confidence.
Grandpa Xu shook his head, turned around and went back to the house, ready to have breakfast and go to work.
At this time, spring has just begun, and there is a lot of work in the fields. When Xu's family arrived on the team, several other families had already arrived.
"Why did you come here so late?" the acquaintance in the village laughed.
Zhang Cuiqin immediately got excited, and ran over to talk to him warmly, during which time he pointed to Xu Nannan. You don't need to listen to know that this is all pushing the matter to Xu Nannan.
Xu Nannan rolled his eyes and started working with a hoe.
Anyway, he has the memory of the original owner, and his body has been trained for a long time. Although this job is very tiring, he can still endure it.
While working, Xu Nannan manipulated his Taobao store in his head. Seeing that the balance was only more than 900 yuan, I began to feel a sense of crisis in my heart.
Yesterday was too pleasantly surprised, and she didn't think too much about it. After what happened this morning, she also began to think about the future, and naturally relied more on Taobao. The worst thing she thought before was the sudden disappearance of the Taobao store, but now she is facing a more realistic situation. She doesn't know whether the Taobao store will disappear, but there is almost no money in it. This is an upcoming problem.
Xu Nannan wished he could shoot himself to death. When she first opened a Taobao store, she was used to saving money or buying stocks, and there was very little money in Alipay. Before the time travel, she happened to make a big purchase on Double Eleven, so the remaining money was only a thousand dollars. If she had known that she would come here on a hurry, she would definitely put all her inheritance in Alipay. It can last for a while.
It happens that the house leaks and it rains. It seems that there is a long way to go to live a good life in this era.
With something hidden in his heart, Xu Nannan was a little absent-minded when he was working.
Team leader Xu Gensheng looked at her and thought she was not feeling well, so he walked over and said, "Nan Nan, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."
Xu Nannan started going to the field when she was only twelve years old. Although she is fifteen now, Xu Gensheng actually does not agree with her going to the field. No matter how poor the family is, they cannot use such a small girl as an adult. Moreover, Xu Nannan fainted a few days ago. The doctor said that this is called shock and it will kill him.
Xu Gensheng felt that the child should rest for a few days before going to the field.
Zhang Cuiqin has been staring at Xu Nannan from the sidelines. Hearing this, he continued, "This is not acceptable. My mother said that our family is not a landlord's house, and we don't raise lazy people. You are a fifteen-year-old girl, how can you do that?" I'm eating at home. Could it be possible to let my mother come?"
Xu Gensheng choked suddenly.
Although he was the captain of the production team, he didn't dare to confront Mrs. Xu. He could only walk away in embarrassment. In my heart, I complained that Mrs. Xu knew a lot when she was young, but why she abused her granddaughter when she was old.
Seeing that Xu Gensheng was scared away by the old lady's reputation, Zhang Cuiqin raised her lips deliberately. "Ah, don't think that the captain is taking care of you, you just want to be lazy. Just now you saw it, your mother's decision, the team has nothing to do. You work honestly, and you still have a mouthful of food at home. Otherwise, you won't even have your share of saliva."
Xu Nannan couldn't stand her anymore. I also wonder if Zhang Cuiqin always likes to torment her little niece because she has nothing to do. She turned around and faced Zhang Cuiqin, completely unwilling to talk to her.
Zhang Cuiqin's face suddenly elongated.
"Nan Nan, come and work with me. The soil here is loose, so it's easy to pick." A round woman next to her yelled.
In this day and age, it is not easy to have a round figure. However, Xu Nannan could see that her complexion was not good. It was obvious that she had the kind of physique that could make her fat even after drinking saliva. This was puffiness.
This person is Aunt Osmanthus in the front room of the Xu family. She gave birth to two boys in one belly, and she is now ten years old. In addition, her body shape is a symbol of good fortune in the eyes of the older generation, so she is very respectable at home, and she is also looked up to outside. In my memory, I took good care of sister Xu Nannan, and sometimes secretly gave things to the two sisters.
Xu Nannan smiled subconsciously, "I like working with Aunt Osmanthus."
"It's really an elbow," Zhang Cuiqin spat. I also don't want to confront Song Guihua. It's not that she's afraid of her anymore, it's just that the man in Song Guihua's family has a bad temper, and she doesn't want to get into trouble.
Zhang Cuiqin walked away angrily, Song Guihua snorted, and came over to persuade her, "In the future, when you work, follow me, don't be with your aunt."
Xu Nannan nodded. She also doesn't want to be with Zhang Cuiqin.
Seeing Xu Nannan nodding obediently, Song Guihua smiled and liked it very much. She only had two brats and no daughters, so seeing Xu Nannan and Xu Xiaoman not having a good life in the old Xu's house, she felt pitiful. What a good boy, the old Xu family is too cruel. The most cruel ones were Xu Jiansheng and his wife, who would rather raise their nephew and niece than their own daughter.
But she is an outsider after all, so she can't help much. "Nannan, your parents are coming back this month. You and your parents have a good talk and see if you can go back to the city to live."
"I don't know if I will come back or not. My grandma has the final say on this matter. What I say doesn't count." Xu Nannan said truthfully.
But this is what the original owner thought. The current Xu Nannan does not agree. Grandma Xu's words on this matter may be fine, but if Xu Jiansheng and his wife insist, Grandma Xu can't help it. After all, no one can let parents not raise their own children and go to raise other people's children. It's one thing for Xu Jiansheng to feel guilty about his parents and brothers, but he is also a father. When Grandma Xu cries, he gives up on his child. Is this still a father? As for her mother, there is no need to mention that she is closer to her nephews and nieces than to her own daughter. For this matter, she has received a lot of praise, saying that she understands righteousness, is a good daughter-in-law, and a good aunt. Hehe, she never thought about it. After all these years, no one said she was a good mother.
There is no need for Xu Nannan to say the implication, Song Guihua also felt that her words were redundant. If it's really useful, it won't be seven years, and the couple don't care about their daughter.
I don't know what these two couples are thinking, but they are so cruel. To put it bluntly, is it possible that the couple will really rely on their nephews and nieces to support them until their end of life, and they will definitely regret it in the future.
Song Guihua also stopped persuading Xu Nannan, and when she got off work and went back to have breakfast, she told Xu Nannan to follow her when she went to the field later.
When Xu Nannan returned home with his uncle and aunt, breakfast was already ready.
Grandpa Xu was sitting in the first seat and was drinking porridge, with a steamed bun on hand. There are still a few on the plate, waiting for them to come back to eat.
Although the food was on the table, no one dared to touch it. After waiting for a while, Grandma Xu came from the kitchen cursing, and everyone looked at the dining table with bright eyes.
