Chapter 9 Why Are You So Honest

"Why did you come back? Did you come back by yourself? Your brother-in-law didn't send you off?" The old lady of the Li family, Zuo Daya, pulled the little girl up and down to look her up and down.

I was working in the cafeteria, and I heard someone shouting that her little girl seemed to be back. She hurriedly asked for leave from the captain, and went home after running around. Sure enough, she saw her little girl standing at the door of the house when she was far away. .

Yuansi quickly adapted to the identity of the old lady opposite, this is the mother of the original owner, a very old lady with a lot of buzz.

"No, my second sister asked a fellow villager to bring me back. I don't want to stay at my second sister's house anymore. It's not good at all, and I can't get enough to eat." Yuansi chose to tell the truth, this old lady is the first pain in her life The first is the only son, and the next is Li Yuansi, an old woman.

"Why, your second sister didn't give you food." The old lady narrowed her triangular eyes when she heard the little girl's words.

She Zuo Daya is 52 years old this year. The old girl Li Yuansi was born when she was 46. At that time, the eldest daughter was 30, the second daughter was 27, and the third daughter was 24. They had already married and had their own children, the only son. She was already 18 years old, and she no longer had the same heart with her mother. Her man died of illness when the little girl was only two years old, so her heart was tied to this little girl.

Now hearing that the second daughter might treat the younger daughter badly, the old lady raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, I just don't have enough to eat." Yuan Si never did anything that was shady, so she told her mother everything that happened when she went to her second sister's house.

Zuo Daya was stunned when she heard that.

"Sier, why don't you come to the table to eat? It's your second sister's house. You are righteous. Your brother-in-law will respect you no matter what you say. What are you afraid of?" Hearing that the child in front only drank pot water At that time, she was very distressed. She sent the little girl to the second child because she knew that the second child was in the city and had a good living condition, which would allow the little girl to eat more. Whoever wants to go might as well stay at home.

"You've been sick for three days and your second sister didn't care about you? She's a shameless person, she doesn't care about her mother's family when her wings are stiff, right? When my mother sees her, talk to her." Hearing the little girl When the girl said that she overheard after waking up with a fever, the old lady was furious.

But after hearing what the little girl did after she recovered from her illness, the old lady frowned and didn't know what to say, "Sier, why are you so honest? You should eat at your sister's house, but After all, we are guests, so we have to be a bit discerning. When eating, just compare your second sister or Aiping. When your nephews are able to eat, you compare them to eat. Your second sister will be happy. Strange." The old lady is not so blindly arrogant, think about it in another way, she also has to drive the little girl back.

"That's why I went home. I don't go to other people's houses. I have to look at other people's faces when I eat something. I would rather eat corned buns and eat wild vegetables at home." Yuansi is determined not to go again. Over there, she I have observed that there is not even a piece of land in the city. Even if I want to catch bugs and eat them, I don’t know where to get them. How can I feel comfortable here in my hometown, no matter how there is land, I can’t worry about eating.Her goal now is to fill her stomach, and she doesn't like being hungry all the time.

"Oh, you child, you still want to eat steamed buns. Are you dreaming? The cafeteria on our team has long since ceased to operate. They are all sloppy. Mother told you to go to your second sister's house because she was afraid that you would be hungry. Are you there? Come on, let’s not talk about that now that I’m back, and go to the cafeteria with my mother.”

So Yuansi even settled down at home.

The house in my hometown is not very big. It is similar in structure to the second sister’s row house, except that there is no kang here, and they all sleep on beds, so the kitchen is not in the main room, but a separate adobe is built on the side of the main house. house.

Opposite the main house is an adobe house where firewood and grain are stacked, which is basically the same width as the main house, but there is no grain in it now, only some straw, a small stone mill and a large coffin.

People here have this custom. When the elderly reach their age, they will save wood and find someone to make a coffin for themselves and put it at home. This is to prepare for the day in the future.

On the side opposite to the kitchen, there is no house built, just a chicken coop, and now the inside is empty, and the chickens inside have been captured and sold long ago.

The three adjacent soil cultivation houses separated a small courtyard for the Li family, which is not bad in the Li family village. The Li family village has a lot of people and less land, and the villagers live next to each other.

On the second day after Yuansi came back, she was led by Zuo Daya to work in the production team.Yes, although Zuo Daya is fond of children, she is very principled. Zuo Daya's family never raises idlers. As long as she can work, she must go to the team to earn work points.Li Yuansi has been a glorious production team member since she was five years old, and now she has to go back to work when she comes back.Yuansi has no objection, isn't it just mowing the grass, which is not difficult for her at all.So on the second day after returning from the city, she carried a small pannier on her back and a sickle in her hand, and went to the edge of the field to mow grass.

This work of mowing grass is specially prepared for all the children in the team. In rural areas, children have to help the family when they reach the age. But the child is so young, it is unrealistic for you to ask her to go to the ground with the adults, so I just Take out the work list of mowing the lawn and distribute it to the children. Doing more and less is a kind of exercise for the children. No matter how bad it is, it can restrain those mischievous naughty boys, so as to save them from being in trouble every day. stop.

Children can go to the team to exchange for centimeters according to the amount of grass mowed. Generally, the centimeters exchanged is not fixed. For example, in March, there is little grass on the edge of the field, so basically a catty of grass can be exchanged for one centimeter, and so on. After the monthly grass grows, only six or seven catties of grass can be exchanged for one centimeter.After these grass production teams took it back, they were used to raise livestock. Although chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are not allowed to be raised in individual homes, there are quite a few in the production team. After raising them well, the rest can be given to them after the task is handed in at the end of the year. Members are divided.

The original owner used to earn two or three centimeters a day because of his young age, but now that Yuan Sichuan came here, of course she couldn't be worse than a little doll, so after receiving the task, she started wandering around the whole Lijia Village.

This is a habit developed in the last days. When you arrive in a strange place, you must first get familiar with the surrounding environment quietly, so that you can know what you are doing in the subsequent battles.

Although there is no battle here, familiarity with the surrounding environment is also very important to Yuansi now. She needs to fill her stomach and supplement her nutrition.Since these foods cannot be snatched from others, they can only be obtained from nature.

This morning, she wandered around the Li family village for a long time, combined with the memories in her mind, she was able to get acquainted with the house first.

It was originally called Lijia Village, but when the people's commune was established a few years ago, Lijia Village changed its name and became the first production brigade of Fanxing Commune. Due to the large population of Lijia Village, the whole brigade was subdivided and Lijia Village was divided into four teams.Zuo Daya's team is the fourth team of the First Team of Fanxing Commune.
