Chapter 3 Sleeping
After Ji Yuanhai's mother said a word, she left the main room angrily. The family meeting this time is not over yet.

Grandpa said: "Boss, your wife doesn't care, we old couple care; you, the father, have to care too."

"Yuanshan doesn't want to get married, but Yuanhai is willing, so let's tell the brigade to let Yuanhai marry that female educated youth."

"That's how it's settled."

Ji Yuanhai's father nodded: "Father, I understand."

"What will happen to the two children's houses after they get married?"

"Yuanshan comes to the main room, and I can add a small bed to make do with it." Grandpa said, "The west room is where Yuan Hai and his wife live."

"Yuan Hai——"

Ji Yuanhai responded: "Grandpa, tell me."

"Westinghouse is living for you and your wife, but when your elder brother Yuanshan gets married in the future, you have to think of a new way." The grandfather said, "I have raised your father, your second and third uncles all my life, and I will also take care of you." Your aunt married into a good family."

"But as a grandchild like you, I can't afford to worry too much about each of you."

"After you get married, you have to figure out how to start a family and start a business; if it doesn't work, learn some crafts, such as pulling adobe to build a house or something. When the time comes, we will be a family of more than ten people and build two houses, which will be another home. "

Grandpa said good words of gold and jade, if Ji Yuanhai lives in the countryside honestly from now on, he will not suffer any disadvantages in doing so.

From the perspective of a rural person, grandpa can be regarded as farsighted, helping Ji Yuanhai arrange everything about starting a family alone in the future.

But the premise of all this is based on the premise that Jiyuan Haiken will stay in the countryside honestly and continue to earn work points.

Ji Yuanhai was not so impetuous as to sneer at the kind words of the old man, and nodded seriously: "Grandpa, I understand."

"Then this matter is settled." Grandpa took a deep breath of the cigarette, just finished smoking in the pipe, and knocked the ashes out of the pipe.

Ji Yuanhai spoke again.

"Grandpa, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow."

Grandpa and father frowned and looked at him.

"What are you doing? You're a slob before you get married?"

"You rest, what about our family work points?"

"If you can't keep up with the work points one day or every day, no one will have more money and food by the end of the year. Yuan Hai, if you dare to be lazy, I will really beat you up!"

Ji Yuanhai saw his grandfather and father frowning, and thought to himself: Life in the countryside is really hard. They have to work every day to earn work points. The labor intensity is no less than that of workers. As a result, they can't even eat sweet potato noodles and steamed buns.

Sometimes, even find a way to eat wild vegetables, bad sweet potatoes...

A little lazy, scolded at home, joked in the village, all feel rebellious.

Ji Yuanhai really had to explain clearly today, otherwise his grandfather and father would never allow him to "not work" tomorrow.

"Grandpa, I have to go see Lu Heling tomorrow."

Grandpa immediately snorted: "Look at your worthless appearance!"

"After you get married, you can only watch as much as you want. What else do you need to watch now?"

Ji Yuanshan covered his mouth and laughed when he heard this.

He felt that this was just for fun - his younger brother wanted to see his new wife, so he obviously couldn't help it.

Ji Yuanhai said, "Grandpa, don't think so, she really doesn't necessarily agree with this matter."

"Think about it, she is an educated young girl who is very delicate. Now that her parents are gone, it is impossible for her to return to the city."

"Besides marrying me, she actually has another way."

Grandparents and father were very surprised: "Huh? What else does she have to do?"

"A dead end!"

Ji Yuanhai said in a deep voice: "If she goes to a dead end, it's one thing for me not to be able to marry a wife. What's the reputation of our family?"

"Because the child was going to get married, a desperate female educated youth was forced to death."

"Our family is Huang Shiren?"

As soon as Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, Grandpa couldn't sit still. He stood up and shouted, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense!"

In this era, which old farmer dares to compare himself to Huang Shiren, a landlord, and he doesn't want to live anymore, right?

Ji Yuanhai said: "Yes, Grandpa, I won't talk nonsense, and I won't say a word when I leave the house."

"But the reasoning is this. It's fine if Lu Heling marries me. If he doesn't marry me and end up at a dead end, our family's reputation will definitely be ruined."

"It's not worth it if you can't marry a daughter-in-law and become a bad person."

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, his grandparents, father, and Ji Yuanshan all looked at him.

"Uh, what's wrong? I'm not right?" Ji Yuanhai was surprised.

"What you said is indeed such a truth." Grandpa said, "You didn't know so much before, but what you said today is so logical, it's like having a meeting with the brigade secretary."

"The sun still makes you smart today?"

Ji Yuanhai saw that Grandpa was mainly curious, and also a little joking, and laughed: "No matter how smart I am, I'm not as smart as your abacus."

"This boy!" Grandpa laughed as expected and asked no more questions.

"Take a day off tomorrow and see what that Lu Heling means; if she really wants to die, don't let our family get a bad reputation."

"Well, I see, Grandpa."

The family meeting ended here, and Ji Yuanhai and his elder brother Ji Yuanshan returned to the Westinghouse.

After entering the house, the two were lying on the bed, and the elder brother muttered: If I had known that you got married, I would have been kicked out of Westinghouse, so I would not have given you my wife.

Ji Yuanhai laughed when he heard this: "Brother, I will definitely find you a good wife in the future!"

Ji Yuanshan also laughed twice, but didn't take it to heart.

Facing the dark adobe house, the two brothers gradually fell asleep.

This sleep was extraordinarily long, Ji Yuanhai only felt light and healthy all over his body, as if he had returned to his carefree childhood, when he fell asleep soundly and thought of nothing after a day of crazy play.

Early the next morning, Ji Yuanhai got up and stretched, his bones and joints cracked a few times.

That's great, is the air so good in this era?
Sleeping well too.

How can you be in such a good state after eating one and a half sweet potato noodle steamed buns?
Ji Yuanhai really felt that his condition was better than ever. Looking at the leaves of the jujube trees outside, it seemed that they were a little greener than yesterday.

He looked up and saw his mother coming out of the east room. She glared at him, obviously still annoyed that he refused to obey.

Ji Yuanhai didn't say anything more.

His mother seemed to disagree with marrying a female educated youth, but in fact she wanted him to give up his wife to someone else. Of course Ji Yuanhai would not agree to such a thing.

Today, he did not work to earn work points, and Ji Yuanhai did not eat breakfast. This is to save food for the family, which is considered sensible, and also to avoid being looked at by his mother again.

What's more, after waking up this time, he was in exceptionally good condition, and he wasn't really hungry.

Coming out of the house, Ji Yuanhai walked towards the team headquarters.

The Xiaoshantun Production Brigade received eight educated youths, five men and three women. The three female educated youths lived in a room in the team headquarters, and the other two male educated youths reluctantly lived in another hut.

The remaining three were too crowded, so they had to be arranged in the home of the widowed elderly.

Ji Yuanhai wanted to find Lu Heling, a female educated youth, so he naturally came to the production brigade headquarters early in the morning.
