Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 71 Change
Ju Min didn't know, because she never thought about it.

Ju Jing glanced at Ju Ling, then turned to look at Ju Min and said, "Actually, I didn't think about it that much before, but since my dad had an accident, I feel more and more wrong. He can't do heavy work, and the family The work that requires labor is done by our mother. When the farm is busy, I can’t stand up and go home and cook and wash clothes for the whole family. At that time, I thought that my father can’t do heavy work. It’s not that he can’t do it, but why doesn’t he do it? Will my mother be able to rest for a while if he cooks and washes clothes?”

At that time, the three sisters went to the ground even when they were not in class. They had never suffered.But the suffering they have suffered is incomparable to that of Zhang Yongmei, and they love her very much.

Just like what Ju Jing said, Ju Wenqi, who does not do heavy work during the busy farming season, is not as tired as Zhang Yongmei. He can do the light work of cooking and washing clothes to make Zhang Yongmei easier, but why doesn't he do it?
It's not that he can't, when Zhang Yongmei was pregnant with Ju Jing and Ju Ling, he hid outside, and Ju Wenqi supported everything at home, didn't he also cook and wash clothes as usual.He could do it at that time, but why couldn't he do it when his wife was around?
The two have been married for more than 20 years, and have experienced so many ups and downs. No one would say that Ju's third child has a good relationship with his wife. Ju Jing still doesn't understand why her father can't do housework and cook so as not to make her mother so tired since the relationship is good. .

The vast majority of people in the village, including Ju Wenqi, think that washing and cooking is a woman's business, and women are laughed at when men cook at home. Therefore, even in the most difficult time at home, Ju Wenqi did not cook a meal for his wife. .

"Is his face more important than the daughter-in-law who has lived with him for so many years and gave birth to him and took care of his parents? Every time I think of this, I get very angry. Every time I see him sitting on the kang, drinking tea leisurely After my mother was busy outside, I wanted to rush over and grab his teacup!" Ju Jing said emotionally.

Ju Min had never thought about this before, but now hearing what Ju Jing said, she felt that her own father had gone too far.

Ju Ling sighed on the sidelines, and poured a large basin of cold water on the heads of the two sisters.She said: "What's the use of being angry and excited again? Our mother thinks what my father did is right. She thinks the same as our father. She thinks that men do things that are shameful. When our father is ashamed, she is also ashamed. So she doesn't let our dad do these things herself."

This is the most frustrating place.

Zhang Yongmei has her own standard of being a good wife and mother in her heart. Among her standards, not letting her husband lose face is a very important one.

"Our mother doesn't think our father is at fault, and it's okay for you to be angry with our father all the time. Quiet, calm down, we don't stay at home for a few days all year round, as long as they are happy, don't worry about it too much," Ju Min Good-tempered persuasion said.

How could Ju Jing not know this truth, but she still couldn't blame her.

She fears that one day she will be like her mother, confining her identity as a woman in a square box, shackling herself, regarding husband and child as a woman's task, and self-sacrifice as a woman's glory .

Sighing, Ju Jing found a step for herself and said: "Actually, it's good to make such a fuss today, let Lin Dezhi know that the girls in our Ju family are not easy to mess with, if he dares to treat you badly in the future, he dares to treat you like our father It’s like our mother entrusts you with all the housework and so on, and Xiao Budianer and I will whip him together.”

Ju Ling immediately expressed her opinion: "I will kill anyone who dares to bully my sister with a kitchen knife."

Ju Min was teased by the two younger sisters and fell down on the kang, laughing and crying, smiling and feeling emotional again: "Time flies so fast, quietly stealing a little bit of milk powder to eat seems like yesterday, and now you both You can back me up."

Ju Jing was not annoyed by the embarrassing incident, and said with nostalgia: "At that time, I thought milk powder was very delicious. Now I don't like to eat it in front of me. It's fishy. There is also children's music. When I was young, I was only sick and couldn't eat. At that time, our mother was willing to go to the small store to buy a bag of children's biscuits for us to eat. The biscuits are actually different in shape and taste the same, but I always think that piglets are better than little people, and I was really stupid at that time."

Recalling the past, Ju Ling also thought of something that he had never told anyone.

She was quite embarrassed and said: "Do you still remember when we were young when we had a cough and our mother scrambled eggs with alum? It said it could cure coughs. I don't know if it is good or not, but at that time I thought the eggs made like that were very delicious. , I always look forward to coughing, and I still haven’t coughed after a whole winter, so I pretended to be coughing and tricked my mother to give me scrambled eggs. Now I can eat it without lying. To be honest, alum scrambled eggs are not delicious at all. , why did you find it delicious when you were young?"

When they were young, their family conditions were not good, and the society as a whole was short of supplies, so they regarded things that seem to be quite ordinary now as treasures.

In just over ten years, great changes have taken place, ranging from the size of the country to their small family, which is of course a good change.

When they were young, they seldom bought things, and they basically relied on exchanges.You don’t need to exchange money for slippers and pots, and soybeans for tofu, dried noodles, soy sauce, vinegar, and fruit.
The bitterness I have suffered in the past has been exchanged for the tasteful taste today. In retrospect, what is left after the precipitation of the five flavors is still a slightly bitter taste.

This is probably the taste of life.

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening. Ju Wenqi and his wife brought Lin Dezhi back. The three of them were very happy. It was obvious that they had a good time this night.

Ju Min asked Lin Dezhi what he did all night, and Lin Dezhi replied in his very substandard Mandarin: "Chat with people here."

The three sisters can all think of the scene at that time.

Lin Dezhi was surrounded in the middle like a little sheep, and was asked all kinds of questions curiously and gossipingly by the villagers.

This is the first time the villager has met the people from Danan, and they are curious about where he came from, about his family situation, about his relationship with Ju Min, and even about how much money he has in his pocket.

No one pays much attention to privacy. They wish they could dig out all the [-]th generation of Lin Dezhi's ancestors and the numbers after the decimal point of the bank card. It's quite scary to think about it.

What was even more frightening was still behind. Zhang Yongmei said to Ju Min when laying out the kang: "Minmin, your second sister-in-law of the old Shen family wants you to cut her hair. You can go to the restaurant tomorrow morning."

Old Shen's second sister-in-law is Shen Zhicheng's daughter-in-law.

Ever since Shen Zhicheng became the village chief, he took good care of Ju and his wife, Shen Zhicheng's name was written in his grateful notebook, so of course his wife wanted to cut her hair and Ju Min couldn't say no.

But as soon as she picked up the scissors to cut Shen Zhicheng's wife's hair, everyone in the village would definitely come to take advantage of it. She didn't want to have a good rest in the past few days the year before last.
