Chapter 44

Since He Xiaodong started sailing a boat at the age of 12, he always handed over the money back home every day when he came back.The child's mother never kept the money from the sale of the soles, and handed them all in full.

It was only after the last quarrel that he had the heart to withhold some money in private.This money is not even enough to lay the foundation of a house.

He Xiaodong hid the deep disappointment in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked He Zhonghuai: "Have you made up your mind to divide the family like this?"

He Xiaodong's calm appearance was beyond his expectation.He Zhonghuai replied: "Good men don't eat separate meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes. We are old and can no longer be cattle and horses for you. Let us separate you and plan your own food."

These words are what He Zhonghuai's grandma and grandfather said when they separated his uncles.But when these words came out of his mouth, why did it feel like he was satirizing himself? He said angrily: "There is nothing to say, I am ready to separate."

"Well," He Xiaodong nodded: "Look back, I'll find a few people, let everyone come and be a witness, and then divide the family. Who do you want to invite?"

He Zhonghuai, who had achieved his goal, was extremely tolerant: "You can figure it out." He staggered away.

He Xiaodong returned to the door of the East Wing, and wiped his face vigorously.I wanted to erase the grief and anger on my face and my heart, but I still felt ashamed to face my wife and daughter.

Turning around and walking to the door of the pot house, looking at the busy sister with her back to the door, she flinched again.Grab the bucket and pole: "I'm going to fetch water." Fleeing.

He Xiaoxi chased after hearing the voice, only to see a flash of his back.

Back in the pot house, I saw He Xiaonan's villainous look.You don't need to ask, you can guess what He Zhonghuai said to He Xiaodong.

He Xiaoxi shook the broom that he had just washed the pot with water, and pretended to throw He Xiaonan's face unintentionally: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I grabbed the rag and went to wipe her face and body.

Make you so proud.

He Xiaonan was thrown face water, stood up and said anxiously: "You...".

Before she finished speaking, a rag that smelled of swill was stretched out on her face.

The one who was in a mess managed to get away easily: "He Xiaoxi, don't think that I don't know that you are doing something bad on purpose."

"Yes, you know me better than the roundworms in my gut?" He Xiaoxi replied coldly.

He Xiaonan thought about He Xiaoxi's tragic situation from today onwards, and didn't want to cause any complications, so he decided to be magnanimous: "I don't want to be as knowledgeable as you are."

He Xiaoxi waited for He Xiaodong to come back from carrying water and quickly grabbed him, not allowing him to escape.

It is not right for He Xiaodong and the others to take no responsibility for this step.There is a saying in later generations: Don’t blame the dog for worrying about buns!

He Xiaodong and the others are willing to be the big buns of the Virgin Mary, so don't blame Mrs. Liu, He Zhonghuai and the others for being vampires.

So He Xiaodong, who is now awakened, feels ashamed and can understand even his real relatives.He, who should be an umbrella to protect his relatives, has neglected his duty, and he should be guilty of making his relatives at risk of being displaced and deprived of food and clothing.

Although it was a bit late to wake up, it was good enough to wake up.Escaping is not the solution, facing the predicament is what they should do now.

He Xiaoxi arranged for him to go to the village chief, as well as several elders surnamed He and respectable people.Everyone is invited to preside over the separation of their families.

I thought of the rent of the boat that He Zhonghuai said.He Xiaoxi went to the house of the third uncle He Zhongyu at the end of the village.

A few years ago, the third uncle died of illness, and the third uncle's family broke up with their family long ago.Even if the third uncle does not die, with the immoral things Liu has done, the third uncle will no longer maintain a close relationship with He Zhonghuai.

He Xiaoxi wanted to invite her third aunt and cousin He Xiaoxiao to watch their separation.One is that the third aunt is the widow of the third uncle, so she has the right to speak on behalf of the third uncle in such matters.Another one is their group, because of He Zhonghuai and his wife, the number of people is not strong, and the power is weak. He Xiaoxi wants to unite everyone so that they can help each other in the future.

Especially the cousin, after the only one Miao Miao, He Xiaoxi wanted to walk around with her more and be her natal family.After the separation, they can communicate with the third uncle's family without any scruples.

This is an opportunity to bring everyone together.

He Xiaoxi came to Uncle He's house several times when Uncle He passed away.When the third uncle passed away, the brother and sister He Xiaoxi came to help, and Aunt He warmly welcomed He Xiaoxi into the door.

Due to the oppression of life, Aunt He looks much older than her actual age.A head of gray hair was pulled into a bun.

Not the small feet of women of the same age, but a pair of natural feet.

Before liberation, unless the families were extremely poor, they would basically bind the feet of the girls in the family.Speaking of foot binding, it is a kind of persecution of women in feudal society.Lively wrapped the bones of the feet.Bend your toes under the soles of your feet.The normal-length feet are artificially turned into the so-called "three-inch golden lotus".

The only three in Shuidong Village should be the age of bound feet, but there are three women without bound feet.One is Lu Youcai's mother, because his mother died early and no one took care of her.Aunt He's family is a long-term worker and has no personal freedom. She mainly wants to make people work more and produce more, so she definitely refuses to let people have their feet bound.The other one is He Xiaonan's mother Liu Shi, the adopted daughter bought from the juggling class, how can she perform with bound feet?

Speaking of which, each had their own misfortunes, but they were lucky enough to escape the fate of being half-crippled.

It rained a few days ago and there was water in the ground.There was that little-footed woman who went down to the lake and sank into the mud as soon as she stepped down.Some narrow-minded people laughed and said, "This foot is like a donkey's hoof. It can't go down to the lake. If you go in, you'll get stuck."

There are also some old-fashioned people who recall the past: "When the new daughter-in-law got out of the sedan chair, she looked at her feet first. The smaller her feet, the more handsome she is." I don't know how this consensus between small feet and handsome feet was reached?
Most of the people who said this were women.There are some women who have their feet wrapped for one or two procedures before, but the toes are slightly deformed.When the good times came, the vulgar custom of binding feet was banned, and the footbinding cloth was torn off.

Therefore, the liberation of modern women starts from the feet, and the liberation of men starts from the head-cutting off that beautiful long hair.

According to the old man, many big men cried bitterly when they cut their braids.

In the previous life, He Xiaoxi heard a saying: The Qing court issued orders many times to strictly prohibit private foot binding, but it was always just a dead letter.

At that time, there were celebrities, and this behavior of Yimei was a kind of resistance to the rule of the Qing government.

During the same period, the Qing government required men to shave their hair, and women were forbidden to bind their feet.The men who dared not fight against the Qing court reluctantly shaved their heads to keep their heads. It is called a shaving instead of beheading. I have paid a lot.The hair is my head, which can be shaved off with pain.

Men are incompetent, but they have pushed generations of women to the front line against the Qing court.

Someone in the previous life said it well, people are born by their mothers, and demons are born by their mothers. Generations of semi-disabled Chinese women gave birth to Chinese newborns, causing the national physique to decline from generation to generation. The only thing that remains unchanged is distortion and perversion. sexual psychology.

Aunt He is the first generation of beneficiaries of women's feet, and finally she is not afraid of the world's eyes, showing a pair of big feet to people's eyes.

The woman who was a bit timid in herself has gradually become able to stand up in the past few years, and has become a pungent temper.Take your daughter to prop up the door.

 Originally, I wanted to make a separate chapter about the part about bound feet as a side story.I'm worried that some little Kanan doesn't like it.Heiyu deleted some content and merged it with the main text.Not many old ladies with small feet are still alive today.

  From the 50s to the late 70s, feudal remnants were still popular.Heiyu remembered that in the [-]s, the neighbor lady bought a pair of jeans and was chased and beaten by her father.Now that I think about it, it's so funny.

  Sapo rolled all kinds of requests.Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for praise!
