Fengcheng old events

Chapter 76 Photos
The heavy snow melts, the green grass sprouts, the big trees and small trees stretch out new branches, and the chirping of birds resounds in the mountains and forests, celebrating happily that they have survived another winter.

The girls and daughters-in-law of Zhangjiabao are active in the mountains with their babies and dogs. It is the time of the year to rush to dig spring vegetables.

Zhang Jingyi was packing things at home, and Liu Guixin was helping.

The winter quilts are disassembled, cleaned and dried, the winter clothes are also dried and beaten, the house is tidied up, and the cobwebs are swept and pasted with newspapers.

Repairing the house and sifting grass is a matter of autumn, after the rainy season is over.A house made of yellow mud mixed with straw will crack over time and be washed away by heavy rains. It needs to be repaired every year, otherwise it will be dangerous in winter.

The old hens at home are cuddling, and soon there will be more chicks and ducklings in the yard.Ducks cannot incubate eggs and need the help of old hens.

The newly-caught piggy was making noise in the pigsty. The young man didn't do anything, didn't know his fate, and only wanted to eat.

It's spring, and those gangsters can finally rest and prepare for the busy spring farming just like other families. They can stop for a spring and summer, and after the autumn harvest, another round of beatings of fate will begin.

Zhong Laosi didn't come to Zhang's house anymore. I heard that he had seen a girl from another village. The two families were already planning their marriage, and now they were planning to build a new house.There are many children in his family, and the old house is not big enough to live in.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Zhong Laosi's new house was built on the riverside opposite the east courtyard gate of Liu Gui's new home. The captain led the members to build a small bridge here, and Zhong Laosi's new house was built on the bridge Over there, the courtyard gate is at the end of the bridge.

No one asked why Zhong Laosi's house could occupy the sorghum fields of the public, and no one asked why members of the commune were asked to do private work for the Zhong family.There is also a large yard in front of the house, which became his home.

The house is a red brick house, which is the second personal house built with red bricks in Baozi.The first building belonged to his elder brother, the captain's house.

"Mom, when will our house be able to build a red brick house?" Liu Guixin asked Zhang Jingyi who was busy.

Zhang Jingyi didn't even look back: "What are you going to build? It costs hundreds of dollars, and you can't even buy bricks. It would be nice if you could live there."

Liu Guixin said: "Waiting for my future, I will definitely build a big tile-roofed house and let him see it."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Are you better than him? He is the captain, and all the work points are in his hands. When will he not be better than us. Don't talk nonsense when you go out."

Liu Guixin stuck out his tongue: "Mom, are you really going to give this pair of boxes to my brother? Are you willing?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "That's your brother, why don't you want to part with it. There is nothing at home, but this pair of boxes is still a thing." She felt a little unconcerned, touched the suitcase, closed her mouth and continued with the things.

Liu Zhaofeng is getting married.

The news was brought back by people from Liu Zhaofeng Tuobao.

The daughter-in-law is Zhang Shuying, the daughter of the Zhang family in the tree-growing circle. Liu Zhaofeng has already lived in the house in the second half of last year.

Zhang Jingyi thought and thought, and there was really nothing at home, so he asked Zhang Wanli to pack a pair of wooden boxes, and was going to take the pair of leather boxes that had accompanied him for more than ten years to his son.

She took out all the things in the suitcase, wrapped them carefully and put them under the wooden box.There are letters of condolence from Zhuanghe County when Liu Huaqi passed away, there are letters from Liu Zhaorui, and there are some photos of Liu Huaqi and Zhang Jingyi himself.

From the two brown paper envelopes, Zhang Jingyi took out 200 yuan.This is almost the last bit of savings.

When I left Zhuanghe, the consolation money given by the county plus Liu Huawen's salary for Liu Huaqi who returned, totaled more than 800 yuan. In the past ten years, there was almost no money income, intermittent expenses, and the rest It's less than 300 yuan.

Liu Guixin combed her hair: "Mom, are you going to give all the money to my brother? He earns money, how can we live without money?"

Zhang Jingyi was looking at his own photo. It was a photo of himself in Bingcheng, with wavy hair permed, wearing a fur mink, and carrying a leather bag with camel cigarettes.This is a half-color photo. At that time, few families could afford it.

Zhang Jingyi still remembered that the person who took the picture of himself was an old man who was talking in a murmur and couldn't understand anything.

Liu Guixin came over and said, "Mom, you were so pretty when you were young, prettier than me."

Zhang Jingyi slowly put away the photos and said, "At that time, I didn't even think about taking a photo with your dad. Our family didn't even have a group photo."

Liu Guixin pouted: "Mom~, are you really planning to give all our money to my brother?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "He earns what he earns. It's easy to go out? It's not like you haven't seen how tired you are. It's like finding a partner for yourself. It's a big deal to get married. Our family is my husband's family, no Give some? What else can the family give? Don’t worry about it, they just need to live a good life.”

Liu Guixin said: "Mom, what are you talking about? What am I thinking about? I am wronging people. I am afraid that all the money in the family will be taken away. How do you live? You are already poor."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Let's just live like this. If you have a stutter, you can eat and drink. What else do you want? When Zhang Qingzhi comes back, you can go to the city with him and have a good time. You don't have to care about anything. Mom can't care. I was thinking, Zhang Qingzhi If you have a salary in the army, the conditions of the two of you will be the same in the future.

You don't need to take care of the house here. If you have land, those who have a stutter will not starve to death.Mom is also old now, and can't help you much. Seeing that you are growing up and getting married, it's fine. In the future, you will have the face to see your father even if you close your eyes.

Jin Baoer, do you still remember your father's grave?In the future, when I die, you can send mom back to be buried with your dad, okay? "

Liu Guixin put his arms around Zhang Jingyi: "Mom, what are you talking about, you must live a long life. When I enter the city in the future, I will definitely pick you up and let you enjoy life."

Zhang Jingyi shook his head, and looked at the room: "This big family, Hao Lai has been here for so many years, and raised you too, don't you want it? Mom doesn't need you to take care of it, just live well on your own. Besides, you have to take care of it." It's your brother who cares, what do you want a girl to do."

Liu Guixin hugged Zhang Jingyi's shoulders and thought for a while: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I don't know why he has lost weight. Why is he so busy now? He doesn't go home. Even getting married Someone with a message. My brother has changed."

Zhang Jingyi said: "It's not easy. How old is your brother when you go out? Do you think it's easy to mess around with sports and other sports outside? Be busy. You will be fine when you get married in the future. Don't say these things as your brother, he has something on his mind." Heavy."

Liu Guixin pouted.

The couple dumped all the contents of the suitcase into the wooden box, wiped the inside and outside of the suitcase clean, put 200 yuan in it, put some sugar cubes, and put a few feet of cloth.This is the greatest energy of this family.

Zhang Jingyi thought for a while, then took two pieces of candy from his bag and stuffed them to Liu Guixin.
