A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 147 [147] Huaishu Village (3000)

The old lady Zhang was shut down, even if her mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, it didn't delay her stomach full of bad water, and she wanted her daughter to stay here with her, but when Tao Yi returned home, he released the big cock at home. The big rooster is very beautiful, with a fiery red crown, a white, yellow, blue and black flowery body, a long shiny neck, golden feet, and a beautiful toe.

Usually during the day, it leads his wife and children out to find something to eat. It not only recognizes the door but also protects the calf. The most important thing is that it is very obedient, especially to Zhuo Lin's command, but it is absolutely obedient, because it has been a child since childhood. Zhuo Lin was the one who caught bugs and fed it, and had already formed a master-servant relationship.

"Dahua, hurry up, take this damned old godly woman away, it's too hateful, why do you want our family to wipe their ass for what you did?"

There was a little rooster behind the big rooster, and when five or six roosters were calling in unison to surround the mother and daughter, the daughter of Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she lifted the cart and turned the corner. He didn't care, anyway, he looked impatient, obviously he had lost patience with his mother a long time ago.

The annoying best left, Chen spat hard at their backs, 'Bah, what! '

Mrs. Wang's expression was also ugly: "You are still clinging to her, who are you? It's really unlucky to be the daughter-in-law of their Zhang family!"

Zhuo Lin thought to herself, this is more than bad luck, it's a crime, and I don't know where her daughter-in-law was resold. If it is a poorer village than here, my God, I can't even think about it.

Not to mention that it is the 60s and [-]s now, there are still a lot of men who can't marry a wife, even if it is second-hand, those who have married and had children still have a market.

In the 40s, three or five oceans could buy a daughter-in-law, no matter whether the quality was good or not.

-

In the afternoon, Mrs. Wang took her, Zhuo Lin, and Zhuo Jian to go back to her mother's house in Huaishu Village. This time, she brought five catties of old tofu, five catties of soft tofu, and some pickles and sauces that she made herself. Pulling the frame cart, laying quilts on it, and just stepping on the muddy puddles to her mother's house.

With a distance of more than ten miles, I will definitely not be able to return at night. I need to stay at my mother's house for one night and return the next day.

This was the first time Zhuo Lin went to Huaishu Village with her. She came here for a year or two, and every time Wang went back by herself. The main reason was that the child was young and it was inconvenient to carry. If she went by herself, she would be able to come back on the same day.

Mrs. Wang was not diligent in running to her natal family, and Mrs. Chen was also not diligent. The two sisters-in-law were really busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year for the Zhuo family.

It's not that they don't miss their natal family, the main reason is that the natal family is not a drag, and they don't need their help as a girl, so naturally there is no need to return so diligently.

The road to my grandfather's house was not easy, it was all muddy roads, it had just snowed and was very slippery, and I dragged a car for more than ten miles, I was stunned to arrive at Dahuaishu Village until it was almost dark. Because of the cold weather, A Niang's cheeks were flushed from the cold. Fortunately, she had been exercising, and her body was not so cold, and the siblings lying in the car under the quilt were even more blessed.

Before entering the village, I met many people from the village on the road, so before they entered the village, the two uncles came out to pick them up.

A Niang has six brothers and sisters. The eldest uncle died in the war in the past five years, the second and third uncles were carpenters, the aunt married far away, and A Niang was the fifth child.

The third uncle and the younger uncle came to pick them up today. It was the first time Zhuo Lin saw her uncle. Looking at Wang's appearance, she thought the two uncles looked average. Unexpectedly, the two uncles were tall and handsome. Influence, I am afraid that she is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and she also found the reason that she is Wang's biological son from the appearance of her uncles.

At first, I felt that I was prettier than A Niang, something was wrong, but after looking at Zhuo Dajun's appearance, I thought that he looked more like my father, but my nephew's imitation of my uncle was verified only when I walked up to him.

Zhuo Lin and her little uncle looked alike, with thick brows and big eyes, profound features, sharp edges and corners, and an imposing manner.

And the mother shouted excitedly when she saw the little uncle: "Xiao Liu, why are you back? When did you come back? How many days have you been back this time?"

It's no wonder that the younger uncle has a tough temperament, and he turned over to the country like the older uncle. This time, he just went home to see his wife. It was a bit embarrassing to be called out by Wang.

"Sister, I was planning to go to Ximu Village to see you before I left, but I didn't expect you to come today. I have been back for three days. This is Linlin and Xiaosi, right?"

Only then did Wang remember, she turned to her daughter and son and said, "Quick, call third uncle, little uncle."

"Hello third uncle, hello little uncle."

"Hey, so good, look at this girl, she is so handsome, she is white and beautiful, just like our family!"

The third uncle pulled the car smoothly, and the younger uncle directly hugged her in his arms. Poor Zhuo Jian stretched out his hand to be hugged by his uncle, but finally fell into A Niang's hands, and he pouted in aggrieved manner.

The third uncle and father are both carpenters. Both of them are tall and big. In contrast, the father who has a son who worries more is a little older. The third uncle gave birth to two daughters and two sons. Tangtang, with the simplicity of a farmer, doesn't talk much, but sounds comfortable.

"Second brother took a job, and he only came back years ago. He was in the provincial capital, making office furniture for a state-owned unit. He was impressed by our family's craftsmanship. No, dad picked a few apprentices to go with him, and I have to stay at home. I took care of the old and the young, so I didn’t go,”

The Wang family is filial. No matter who goes out, the family must keep a son. Xu Shi experienced the pain of bereavement at a young age. Grandpa and grandmother are particularly dependent on these children. Although there are daughters-in-law and grandchildren around their knees, but They are not as important as their own sons, so the second and third children who are stranded at home have developed a habit over the years. They can't both leave, and they have to change jobs.

The Wang family has separated, and now the younger uncle lives with the old couple, and the allowance that the younger uncle takes back home is also given to grandpa and grandmother. On weekdays, the second uncle and the third uncle give money or food to grandpa and grandma for the elderly, but now they can still If you cook by yourself, you don’t have to worry about them taking care of it. You can get food or money every month, and there are no hard and fast rules.

Because the old couple gave the two daughters-in-law absolute freedom, they separated the family almost as soon as they got married. The daughter-in-law is grateful to the old couple, and rarely cares about their affairs on weekdays, so she treats the elderly very well, what to do The food will be brought to parents in a bowl, because the sisters-in-law are good, so Wang basically has no chance to be filial. Who let the clothes of the old couple be contracted by the two sister-in-laws?

The second child and the third child lived in another house, instead of living in the old house, the younger uncle lived in the old house, because the savings of the old couple were used for the second and third child to marry a wife, so the old and young were allocated to the old house. The two elder brothers have no objection to this, as the family has a certain amount of money, and naturally they don't think that their parents have lied to them, so it is only natural to leave the old house to Younger Brother.

Grandpa and grandma are still in good health. When they saw their siblings, they smiled happily and frowned.

"If you have a conscience, you don't bring the dolls with you when you come back several times. This time, you can see my good grandson. Come, come to grandma."

After Zhuo Lin crossed over, she seldom got so close to the old woman, and the ones she met were all incongruous. Now, when she is held by grandma and rubbed her white and tender hands with her rough fingertips, her heart and eyes are full of joy .

"Our Linlin looks really handsome. She doesn't look like Juan'er, but like our Gui. It's a pity, the eldest daughter hasn't come back for three years, and I don't know how she is doing now!"

Gui refers to the aunt, and the name of the aunt is Wang Gui. There are no photos of her family, and she doesn't know what she looks like, but since grandma said she looks like, she must be.

My aunt married my uncle's comrade-in-arms. I heard that my uncle died to save that comrade-in-arms, so I married my aunt. She is also a descendant of an official. The family conditions are good, but because of the wars in the past few years, the communication is not good Fafa, I don’t know where Aunt Gui is now, and I don’t understand why I haven’t written a letter for so many years. Anyway, this person seems to have lost contact. Every time I mention it, my grandma has to wipe tears.

No, seeing the old lady's red eyes again, A Niang quickly changed the topic, "Mum, let me cook for you, I brought tofu and millet, and we will make millet porridge for a while, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, you two will cook for you later." Cut some tofu and go home, I can keep it for a day, and I can eat several meals!"

I heard that Wang Juan brought the child back to her natal home. The second aunt and the third aunt brought the children over. Wang Juan didn't bring sweets and snacks, but only tofu and millet. It was obviously to show filial piety to the old lady. The two originally wanted to cut a catty, but Wang Juan cut two or three catties for each of the two families.

"There are a lot of children, and the second aunt doesn't have any good things. The only thing I have is this tofu. The soft tofu is suitable for the old couple. You old tofu should get more."

"It's all from my own family, why are you polite?" Everyone knows that snacks, candy, and other non-staple foods need coupons issued by the unit to buy them. If ordinary old farmers want them, they have to pay high prices, so no one is rich. , no one would expect those things extravagantly, eating tofu is already very satisfying.

Because the food for the second uncle and third uncle's family has already been prepared, Wang Juan directly urged them to go back to eat quickly. She is here to cook for the old couple, and it will not be too late for everyone to eat together at noon tomorrow.

As soon as the two families left, A Niang actually took out ten or twenty white-skinned and red-skinned eggs from the bundle tied under the car.

Seeing these eggs, Zhuo Lin was also surprised, but it was Wang herself who said in embarrassment.

"I'm afraid it will break wherever I put it, so I put it in a basket and put it under the car. Mom, do you want rice soup or noodles?"

"Why did you bring so many eggs here, and you don't know how to keep them for the children? We are old, what are we doing with such expensive things, take them back!"

After hearing this, Zhuo Lin was very moved. This is the old lady who really cherishes her child, right?I am afraid that my daughter will have a bad life, and I am afraid that I will drag her down, so if I have some good things, I want my daughter to think about herself and the children, and don't always think about them. If the son-in-law finds out, he will think how many good things are dumped at the mother's house!
