80 widows in the control group, eating melons and raising cubs are poor and happy

Chapter 4

"Mom," Bai Liu heard repeated calls in his sleep, and had to open his eyes.

"Get up quickly, we are also going to dig ginseng."

Tang Dou circled Bai Liu, hurriedly urging her to go up the mountain.

Yesterday, I first went shopping in the county and then picked up the educated youths. It was already dark when Bai Liu returned home. After eating at her mother's house, she brought jelly beans back to her home.

In the past, when Song Jiaying was still there, they rarely opened fire. They always brought the food and vegetables they had distributed to Bai's house directly, and then went directly to eat.

Except for the occasional small stove for a family of three, usually the house seldom fires.

Cooking is a very exhausting task, Bai Liu and Song Jiaying are not willing to busy around the earthen stove, the two of them together, it is better to go back to their mother's house.

It also left an ugly reputation in the village.

But they don't care.

Bai Liu regained consciousness and sat up suddenly from the kang.

Tian Yu actually publicized the matter of selling ginseng?
she:? ? ?

Is Tian Yu crazy or is she crazy?

Tangdou continued to hold her hand and said, "Mom, Xiaoyong wants to go to school, Grandma Tian said it when she scolded him."

Bai Liu instantly felt relieved of sleepiness, quickly packed up and ran to the front to watch the play.

Tian's family lives on the left side of Bai's house, and the two families are close to each other, and there are many frictions, and the old ladies of the two families don't deal with each other. They wait to see the excitement of each other's house every day.

Carrying jelly beans, she went in directly from the back door of Tian's house, and went around to the front yard just in time to see her brothers and sisters-in-law lying on the wall to watch the fun.

"Come on quickly," sister-in-law Huang Meiling asked Bai Liu to come by her side, "Aunt Tian is sitting on the floor, you came just in time."

Bai Liu looked along the wall, Aunt Tian's body was covered with dirt.

Well, it probably just rolled around on the ground.

"Oh my God, no one in this family understands me as an old woman. I might as well die."

When Bai Liu heard Aunt Tian's howling like singing, she almost couldn't help covering her ears.

This sound is too ugly.

But the play is still good.

Aunt Tian was sitting on the ground, and the young and old of the Tian family could not sit still when they saw the young and old watching the fun outside and on top of the wall.

"What are you doing? Why are you making trouble at home? Get up." Old Man Tian roared.

Seeing that the old man was really angry, Mrs. Tian simply stood up and said, "Xiao Yong doesn't have this family in his heart."

"Our Tian's family gave their mother and daughter a place to live. If they have money, they don't want to give it to Gongzhong."

Tian Yu lowered her head when she heard the words, but tightly held her son Xiaoyong's hand.

It was rare for Bai Liu not to laugh when she saw this, she just felt that no matter what age, orphans and widows are the most pitiful.

After the Tian Yu man died, the two of them were driven back to their natal family, but how could the whole family of the Tian family tolerate them?

In the past, I was barely able to live there. After all, relatives are such things. Seeing you are pitiful, they will always give you a bowl of food to eat and a bed to sleep in.

However, once the positions of the two parties are switched, it is inevitable that the mentality will be out of balance.

According to her estimation, the ginseng dug up by Tian Xiaoyong can be sold for about 100 yuan.

A huge sum of 100 yuan, the remaining work points of seven or eight strong labor families throughout the year may not be able to exchange for 50 yuan.

"Grandma, grandma, stop scolding, I'm willing to give half to the family!"

Tian Xiaoyong suddenly broke free from Tian Yu's hand, ran to the old couple of Tian's family and knelt down.

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows, this kid was a little interesting.

Old man Tian waved his hands again and again: "Grandpa can't ask for money for one of your children. It's not easy for you and your mother, and there will be a long time to come."

"Grandpa, you, grandma, and uncles and aunts took me and my mother in. Our money is the family's money!"

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for us, you and your mother would have starved to death." Aunt Tian answered quickly.

"What are you talking about, their mothers are so pitiful, how can we ask for money." Old man Tian looked very angry.

Seeing that the old couple of the Tian family were still arguing, Tian Yu also ran over and knelt down.

"Father, mother, it's all our fault."

"Grandpa, grandma, I don't want to study for myself, I want all my brothers and sisters to study!"

When Bai Liu heard this, his eyes lit up.

"He is smarter than Tian Yu."

This kid wants to retreat to advance, and he wants fame and fortune.

She was not the only one who was shocked by Tian Xiaoyong's words, there were also exclamations from outside.

Huang Fenglai still held grudges: "Tian's family is a bum, they made irresponsible remarks when I sent you to school. Now that there are so many children in the family, I'm afraid they don't agree."

Bai Liu was a posthumous child back then, and her father died while catching Japanese devils on the mountain, so she was considered a martyr, and the children could go to elementary school and junior high school for free.

But Huang Fenglai also went to private schools for a few days when she was a child, and she knows how important it is to know how to read.

So she told her children that she would pay for whoever went to high school, and the family paid for their education.

But it's a pity that only the eldest daughter and the younger daughter went to high school, and they were buried by Old Man Tian's family for many years.

"Hey, you know the conditions of our family. The children also have to help the family. There is really no time for you to go to school." Old Man Tian said with regret.

The Tian family has four sons and two daughters, and the son gave birth to another child. Now there are more than a dozen people in the family, and there is no room for an idler.

Tian Xiaoyong obviously hasn't given up yet, he said eagerly: "We go to school during the day and work for the family after class at night."

"Grandpa, grandpa, we won't delay work!"

No matter how much he begged the two of them, Aunt Tian never made a statement.

"This is the same for Aunt Tian, ​​Xiaoyong is willing to pay for his own education." Zhao Jinfang, the third sister-in-law, muttered.

The third sister-in-law's family conditions are not bad. She has studied for a few days before and has the confidence to speak at home.

Bai Liu touched Tangdou's little head looking around, the new society is good, but it still can't break the patriarchy.

Don't look at how powerful Aunt Tian is bluffing, in fact, it is old man Tian who decides.

Tian Xiaoyong, on the contrary, understood better than Zhao Jinfang, an adult, and he kowtowed to Old Man Tian suddenly.

"Grandpa, please, I go to school with my second and third brothers, and I will help them carry their schoolbags and pay their tuition fees."

Tian Xiaoyong was really pitiful, and the villagers who were lying on the wall watching the excitement talked a lot.

"Xiaoyong's own money is returned to the Tian family to go to school, what a wonderful child."

"Study is useless. We should work early. We farmers have the way of farmers. See what Aunt Huang is doing to send Bai Liu to school."

Bai Liu:? ? ?
She rolled her eyes and joked: "It's still wrong for the children to go to school with their own money. I say don't worry too much about it."

Suddenly, a piercing voice came out.

"Schooling is of course right. The country has always been fighting against illiteracy."

An incompatible voice broke the hustle and bustle, and everyone looked to where the voice came from.

The person who came was wearing a faded military uniform, with straight shoulders, obviously once engaged in some kind of occupation.

Looking behind him, there is a little boy with him, and a little girl in his arms.

Zhou Xiangnan?
Bai Liu suddenly became interested, while Zhou Xiangnan was still warm-hearted.

"The second child of the Zhou family?" Aunt Tian glanced at him, "If you are kind, you can help Xiaoyong to study!"

Zhou Xiangnan frowned: "People have to be illiterate, and only by reading can they be sensible and serve the people."

Bai Liu nodded, she agreed with this point of view.

but--

"You have a job and money, and you pay for him to study..."

Zhou Xiangnan straightened his neck: "If I come out, I will come out!"
