Back to 80, start from gold digging

The fields in the village are divided into paddy fields and dry fields. Paddy fields are relatively small, accounting for only one-sixth of the dry fields.The output of the two fields is rice and corn. There is a big difference in both the value of the output and the amount of output. This requires a conversion to coordinate the relationship between the two with the closest number.

Zhao Mingyu took the second number plate, and there were only one person in front of him in the whole village of hundreds of households, which is not bad.He was also competitive and lucky, and he grabbed the most fertile first-class field in the village, which was a large area of ​​land.The ten mu of dry land is connected in one piece, and the remaining three acres of land are another second-class dry land elsewhere.

The thirteen mu of land was all dry land and there was no paddy field, which was quite satisfactory.Paddy fields are nominally more expensive than dry fields, but there are two sides to this matter. Rice is expensive, but it is obviously more difficult to manage paddy fields than dry fields.Not to mention anything else, just planting rice seedlings alone can break the waist, not to mention the horse slivers that climb up the calves from time to time.This kind of thing with the scientific name of leech is specialized in sucking human blood. It is so soft and wet that your scalp feels numb just thinking about it.

Most of the Zhao family are girls, and they lack resistance to such small things. Without the paddy fields, they don't have to stick their buttocks and pat the "little pendant" on their legs.

For a field of more than ten mu, from plowing and fertilizing to ridge and leveling, seven or eight processes are required. Even the best crop experts have to work for five or six days. If the work is procrastinated Ten days and a half moon is it.

Of the members of the Zhao family, Zhao Wenying is the hardest and most able to work, who is completely the main force.This spring plowing is a major event, and the livelihood of the whole year depends on these few days.This year is the first year when production is divided into households, so we need to pay special attention to it.

According to the tradition passed down from generation to generation by farmers, before and after the Grain Rain, the azaleas on the mountain bloom, and the land can be planted.

That is to say, during the waiting period, something big happened.

The dolls of Zhao Luo's family have been engaged for more than 20 years, and the Luo family has never mentioned this matter much, but they have frequently talked about marriage recently.In other words, it started years ago.The more precise time is the time after the car entered the village.

The Zhao family has a relative in the provincial capital, who is quite capable and drives a big jeep.The news was like flying with long legs, and it spread throughout the village in less than two days.Even if the Zhao family came forward to clarify it, they couldn't hold back the mouths of good people, and they made a good publicity with embellishments.

During that period of time, the Zhao family received a lot of matchmakers who wanted to marry each other. From the oldest to the youngest, even Xiao Wu, who was just born a few days ago, had people trying to make a baby kiss.It can be seen that with the blessing of the title of good relative in the provincial capital, the children of the Zhao family are

The intensity of marriage and marriage.

When the Luo family found out about this, they couldn't sit still.Immediately, they came to the door, emphasizing that the two families had been engaged before, and they had to keep the agreement.After repeated explanations by Zhao Mingyu, the doubts were dispelled.

I thought this matter would just be put on hold, and the marriage would not be ready until the end of the year at the earliest, but I didn't expect to start urging the marriage after the new year.

At that time, the village was counting the number of people from door to door, and calculating the area of ​​​​the divided fields.When you get married at this time, the family's household registration book will lose one page, and the allocated land will naturally decrease.You can't suffer from anything you eat, Zhao Mingyu naturally refused, Li Cuizhen also said that the Luo family is not kind, and it is not good to mention marriage when the land is divided.

Then no one is a fool, can you still not understand this point.

The Zhao family unanimously disagreed, so the matter was suppressed.It was not until more than a month later that the spring plowing was approaching, and the Luo family brought up the matter again.

This time Luo Laohan led Luo Yubao to the door with four gifts, and bluntly said that the children are all grown up, this marriage can't be delayed any longer, it's time to get married, if you don't get married, you'll be an old girl.

His words obviously meant something. Luo Yubao and Zhao Wenying are the same age, and they are both 22 years old this year. According to the marriage law, a man is 22 years old and a woman is [-] years old. Zhao Wenying has reached the age of marriage, but Luo Yubao is not enough of age.

Before, the Luo family kept silent about it, that is, based on the age of the two of them, the man could be older, but the woman could not.The two are the same age, the Luo family needn't be anxious, but the Zhao family has to be anxious, the woman always has to suffer a bit in terms of age.

With this, the Luo family overwhelmed the Zhao family.I feel that the old Zhao's family has to hurry up to urge the marriage in the end, because the girl is getting older every year, so it's not easy to wait any longer.It's just that this plan didn't catch up with the rapid changes, and the old Zhao family's relatives in the provincial capital appeared out of nowhere, which really surprised them.Not long after the limelight went down, it began to distribute production to households again.With one more person in the family, the field can be divided into two acres more.

With this in mind, I thought about moving forward with the marriage.This old Zhao's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he disagrees.There is no other way but to wait.Seeing that the land is about to be planted, this marriage has to be rushed.

"Planting is about to start, and the Luo family is determined to marry the eldest into the house before it happens." Zhao Mingyu thought of Luo Laohan's expression when he left before, and said, "I'm afraid I can't refuse this time." Agreed, it's annoying.

Li Cuizhen also understood, and said: "If you don't ask them to take advantage of it, they won't be in a hurry." Seeing that they are about to start farming, marrying a strong laborer at home will save a lot of fatigue .This little calculation is really shrewd.

"It's no wonder that their family is not in a hurry. Luo Yubao is 22 years old, and in a few years, he will be at an age where he will not worry about marrying. But the eldest of our family is dying. It's not too early to tie the knot now. If it takes another two years But she is really an old lady." What Zhao Mingyu didn't say was that the Luo family had already overwhelmed her, and it would be even more disadvantageous at that time.

Knowing that the Luo family wanted to do an extra job, they still couldn't refuse the request.

The two families refer to Duga relatives, and after so many years, they both defaulted to each other as in-laws.No one tried to change the agreed things.Even if the other party had various problems, he didn't want to destroy this relationship.

Breaking the contract is a very serious matter at this time. As long as you want to hang out in this village in the future, you can't ask people to poke their backs and make them unable to lift their heads.

Zhao Wenying's marriage was set for three days later, there was no such thing as getting ready for marriage, the date was set, it was set, and there was no fuss about whether it was rushed or not.Even the betrothal gift was something that had been agreed before—two bags of soybeans, plus four gifts for that day, one bag of fruit, two bottles of canned food, three taels of white sugar, four apples, that was all.

The three turns and one sound that is popular now is a standard equipment only available to government agencies.The people in the village can't meet that standard yet, but it's not impossible to come up with some decent gifts.Compared with the standards of the previous ten years like this, only two bags of grain are indeed too shabby.

According to the Luo family, this was agreed back then.In the era when there was a shortage of clothes and clothes, these two bags of food could save lives, and it was considered a high standard.But the times are developing, and society is also improving. The two bags of grain back then are really not a big deal now.

But the old agreement is not easy to change, and if it doesn't work, I can't say it.Regarding the dowry gift, the Zhao family is like a dumb man who has eaten Coptis chinensis, unable to speak out.

Depressed and annoyed, I made up for it in the dowry.

Li Cuizhen said: "When you get married, you become a member of their old Luo's family. Even the best things have to be used by them. They can't take all the cheapness. The betrothal gift is just a few things. You can’t give too much dowry.”

In line with the principle of reciprocity and no loss, Zhao Mingyu and Li Cuizhen made a total calculation and finally settled on Zhao Wenying's dowry - a big red furoshiki wrapped in two sets of new clothes.

Zhao Mingyu said: "Their family is based on the standards of more than ten years ago, so we will also calculate according to that time. It's still too much. When your mother and I got married, I also made a new gown. Or two new suits."

Li Cuizhen has always been in charge of family affairs, but this time it was the idea of ​​the two of them together, so it can be said that this is the final result.

Zhao Wenying has always been honest and obedient, and if her parents speak, she will say whatever she wants.Even though it was her marriage, a major event related to a lifetime of happiness, she didn't have the slightest opinion at this time.

This series of processes can make Zhao Wenduo very angry.Not to mention how the Luo family is good at calculating, talking about things with the previous agreement.But just the two of them are enough.

If it is said who in this family is the most contributing person, if Zhao Wenying is the second, no one dares to say the first.Zhao Mingyu is such a sick person, the money he earns is not as much as he spends.Li Cuizhen was capable, but these years she was either pregnant or on the way to give birth.Want to do more, but also powerless.

Let's talk about a few more children, not to mention the two younger ones.Zhao Wenlan can make money, but her small body with a weak willow and fengfeng can be blown away by a strong wind, and she can cry for a long time if she scratches her skin with her hands, what else can she do.

As for Zhao Wenduo herself, she is able to work and earn money, but it has only been a matter of more than a year. It is incomparable with Zhao Wenying, who has carried the burden of supporting her family for seven or eight years.

It can be said that the hardest, most tired, and most angry person in this family is the eldest Zhao Wenying.It is such a simple and honest person, but he has to be so wronged in major life matters.

If it was a year ago, the family conditions were poor, and the whole family could not scrape together five yuan, then she would not say anything. It's practical.

But the problem is that after this year, the family has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is no longer on the same level as before.It can't be said to be the best, but it is not worse than ordinary people.It is also completely possible to give a good dowry, not just these two sets of thin spring clothes.

If you are angry with the Luo family, you should not put it on the bride.Who is she? She is the eldest daughter of this family, and she is the one who has been supporting the family since she was a child.Don't look at credit, but also look at hard work.

Zhao Wenduo spoke out indignantly, leaving the whole family speechless.

Zhao Mingyu lowered her head, and silently picked up the dust in the corner of the wall.The third child either doesn't say anything, and when he says it, it's a complete set. He tells the facts and makes sense one by one from childhood to adulthood.

Li Cuizhen didn't say anything, but she was also reflecting on whether what she had done was really wrong. The boss had indeed done a lot for the family, and she had relied on her for all the big and small things over the years.Not because of anything else, but because of the hard work she has endured, she can't just accompany her with that suit of clothes.

After all, it is not the old time now, and it is indeed a bit too much to compare it with the past.

This recounting of injustice, in the end, made the two elders feel guilty and bought a very good dowry again.

Zhao Wenduo added a long-term two-six slash bicycle to the original foundation. She said nothing else, and she was still in charge of this bike.An extra 200 yuan was wrapped in a red envelope, which was the only big money she had left.

The turnover on the opening day of the car dealership, together with the Wu family's savings, was sent to the manufacturer to purchase the next batch of cars.There was not much money left in his hand, even so, he still made up a whole number and gave it out.

When Zhao Wenying took the money, tears flowed down her face.

"Third brother, don't give me any more money, it's already enough." It's not because of clothes or things, but because of this sisterhood.

If it weren't for Zhao Wenduo's advice, Li Cuizhen and Zhao Mingyu would not reflect on it, and then think of her difficulties and sacrifices in these years.Even if they are close parents, sometimes their hearts are biased, and not all children can be pampered in their hearts.

It is said that the screaming child eats more milk, and the silent one is always the most likely to be ignored, and no one will care if it is full or not.After a long time, she automatically became an invisible person, and her parents no longer saw her in their hearts.

Zhao Wenying thanked Zhao Wenduo, not only for speaking for her, but the most important thing is that this third sister has her big sister in her eyes and heart.It made her feel that the hard work of these years was not in vain, at least one person remembered it.

In fact, compared to Zhao Wenying's gratitude, what Zhao Wenduo wants to do most is to mess up this marriage.The Luo family’s disregard and difficulty in getting along is one aspect, the most important thing is Luo Yubao’s inaction, lack of assertiveness in everything, soft-tempered, soft-tempered, listen to everything at home, usually forget it, this is the top priority in life, The daughter-in-law I'm going to marry, isn't treating her the same as treating myself?

But he didn't do anything, and when he sent the bride price, he repeatedly emphasized that the two bags of soybeans were new beans harvested last autumn, not old beans from previous years.Yes, the beans are new beans, but they are beans that have not been picked. The hulls, stones, and sand are mixed together, accounting for one-third of the beans, and two bags of beans are only one and a half bags.

It can be seen how careless he is about this marriage.

If Zhao Wenduo's original intention was followed, this marriage would not matter.But this is someone else's marriage, even if she is her own sister, she doesn't have the right to say no.The idea has to be for the person involved to get it by herself, and she can only remind her from the side, no more will do.
