"Sister, here are ten yuan and some cloth tickets. The clothes on your body are all patched. Go to the town this afternoon to buy some cloth and make clothes for you and your children!" Li Wen took out the money tickets and handed them to the eldest sister.

Li Li's eyes turned red instantly. Her younger brother had really grown up and knew how to care for others.

At the same time, Li Li also feels pain about her current life. In the past, her parents-in-law were the head of the household, and the couple did not even have a dime of private money.

If her mother-in-law's family hadn't come over last time to give her two yuan to support herself, she wouldn't have had the money to pay for her child's medical treatment and medicine.

"Awen can take care of people." Li Li took the money in Li Wen's hand with red eyes.

"Sister, you should take it easy at work. If you have difficulties in life, ask someone to come to the county to bring you a message. This is the address where I live now." Li Wen took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Li Li.

"Okay, okay!" Li Li smiled and took the note and put it in the bottle on the kang table.

"Sister, I won't stay any longer. It's almost five o'clock, and I have to go back before dark." Seeing that nothing happened, Li Wen proposed to leave.

"Alas! Awen, you came all the way to my sister's house and didn't even get a meal. Okay, you can go back and ride more slowly on the road." Li Li stood up to see her off.

"Grandma, you are here. We are busy with farming now, so I won't stay much longer." Li Wen looked at the old lady and Dabao sitting in the yard talking, and said hello with a smile. After the old lady smiled to persuade him, Li Wen still

Gone.

"Xiao Li, your brother is so rich! He is also wearing rubber shoes. He has brought two kilograms of meat here today? But Chaozong's marriage is now settled." The old lady smiled happily.

"My little brother caught a piglet last summer and killed it today. Most of it was sold, and some were left. He gave me two kilograms." Li Li took the pork out of the room with a smile.

"Okay, give one pound to Chaozong. I'll fry the remaining pound later, and everyone will make up for it in the evening." The old lady happily took the pork.

Li Li didn't say much, nodded, said she was going to work and left.

These may be bad habits left over from feudalism! The feudal patriarchal system is more practical in wartime and can unite families; but in peacetime, injustice and conflicts are prone to occur when the population increases.

In this era, in many families, the elders are the masters of the family, and the younger generations have no autonomy at all.

Many women who get married and become daughters-in-law have no human rights at all. They even have to help their parents-in-law empty the urinal when they get up in the morning. This also lays the bomb for future family struggles in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

On his way back, Li Wen stopped by the house of Song Jie's brother and sister. When he learned that the old lady had sent their two children to school, he couldn't help but praise the old lady. Li Wen didn't stay much longer, leaving behind one pound of pork and thirty pounds of pork.

Cornmeal left.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Li Wen rode his bicycle back to the village. It was still bright at this time, and the setting sun made half of the sky seem to be on fire.

"Awen is back!" The old lady was sitting at the door chatting with the old ladies in the village.

"Grandma, you guys talk first, I'll go back and wash up. There's a lot of dirt on the road, and I'm covered in dirt now." Li Wen smiled and said hello to everyone at the door.

"How about Awen going to your sister's house today?" asked Li Deyou, who was sitting by drinking tea after dinner in the evening.

"It must be bad! My sister has been nursing a baby recently and has become very thin. Her clothes are full of patches."

"I don't think my eldest sister can even eat a few bites of the two kilograms of meat that I brought today. My brother-in-law and his younger brother Chaoyang said that they wanted a kilogram of meat as a bride price for their marriage, so I just caught up with it today."

"There is only one kilogram of meat left for a family of more than 20 people. How many pieces can one person eat?" Li Wen lamented.

"I stuffed her with ten dollars, and I happened to have some cloth coupons on me, so I gave them to the eldest sister as well." Li Wen said about Li Li's situation.

"There are so many people in the Chaoyang family, and there are no family divisions. Xiaoli has been married to mothers-in-law and grandmothers everywhere. How can she live well?"

"Oh! This damn woman. If she wasn't allowed to marry in the first place, she would still have to live and die. She wouldn't marry anyone but that boy from Chaoyang. Now it's better. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot." Wang Chunmei sighed.

"The child is already married, why are you talking about this now! I told you to listen to me and lock her up for a few days, but you are soft-hearted." Li Deyou knocked on the cigarette rod and scolded.

"I should have asked her to read less books in the first place. This girl has read too many books and has become ambitious." Wang Chunmei regretted it very much.

"Mom, what does this have to do with studying? You and dad made it so that all our brothers and sisters study!" Li Wen said with a wry smile.

"Alas! This child is in such trouble, how can I deal with it? I'm so worried." The second aunt also chimed in from the side.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'll go to the city to see if there are any temporary jobs in a while and find one for my brother-in-law and eldest sister."

"My sister and brother-in-law have both been in high school for more than a year, so it's relatively easy to find a job with some connections."

"When my sister goes to work in the county, my eldest brother and I will be able to take care of her." Li Wen looked at the sad-looking family and told her his plan.

"Really! Awen, can you find a job for your sister?" Wang Chunmei was very excited when she heard this.

"I have lived in the county for a few months and have made many friends. I should have no problem making some money by then." Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"How much does it cost? Your eldest brother's job last year was purely luck. This year's business is good, but it's not easy." Li Deyou frowned.

"Dad, don't worry about it. I'm looking for a temporary worker, not a regular worker. It only costs one or two hundred at most." Li Wen said directly when he saw his father's worry.

"Dad will give you one hundred. You bought a house, and I guess you don't have much money left." Li Deyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard one or two hundred. The family could still make up the money after gritting their teeth.

"No, dad, I've collected a lot of royalties recently. I'm still relatively rich now. My book will be released soon, and I may have a lot of money by then." Li Wen smiled and waved his hand.

Li Wen admires this very much about his parents. At home, boys and girls are equal, and they even favor their daughters a little bit.

"Well, if you have any difficulties, talk to dad. After all, this is your sister's business." Li Deyou looked at his son, his old face felt a little red.

"My family has been very grateful to Awen in the past two years!" Wang Chunmei patted Li Wen's hand and said with emotion.

"Xiao Wen, what about your own affairs? You will be 15 years old after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's time to find a job for yourself." Li Deyou looked at Li Wen and asked.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about my work. I can find someone to arrange work for my sister and the others, and I won't lose myself." Li Wen waved his hand directly and said.

"Okay, you've grown up, and your ideas are right in whatever you do. Your mother and I will have less to worry about." Li Deyou saw that Li Wen didn't want to say more, so he didn't pursue the question.

"Second sister, I will buy a sewing machine for my family in a while. You should study hard."

"The textile factory in the county will be established in October. If you apply for the job with your skills, you will definitely pass." Li Wen looked at Li Xia who was quietly listening to their speech and told a shocking news.

"Awen, is this news true?" The second uncle immediately sat up straight after hearing it.

"Awen, please don't spread this news randomly!" His mother, Wang Chunmei, patted Li Wen's hand and reminded him.

"Don't ask any unnecessary questions. You must be certain of what I said. Just don't spread rumors when you go out." Li Wen nodded and ordered.

"That's great. I'm worried about your second sister! Recently, several people have asked matchmakers to ask about your sister's marriage. I don't even know how to reply." Second Aunt Cui Yanzi said excitedly.

"We'll wait until October. Of course, second aunt, you can also give my second sister a good selection."

"Our current conditions are comparable to those in the countryside, not to mention the city," Li Wen said with a smile.

After Li Wen finished speaking, the whole family burst into laughter. This smile contained yearning for the future and affirmation of the current life.

The second sister Li Xia also blushed with embarrassment during the family discussion. She felt a little excited and had some expectations for her life.

Li Wu and Li Quan also came back the next day, and the family was together again. In the next month, Li Wen also spent the next month nervously under Xia Shou.

Boom! Li Wen was awakened by the thunder in the sky. Li Wen was so frightened that he ran out of the room.

"Hurry, hurry up, get up." Everyone got up quickly, mother and second aunt patted every room.

His father and second uncle had already run away in advance. Li Wen put on his shoes and ran towards the wheat field. As he ran out of the gate, the gongs and bells in the village were also ringing rapidly.

The heavy white rain in summer is coming. Nowadays, there is no weather forecast. It is entirely up to people to judge the weather and rely on experience.

At this time, all the men, women, and children in the village, as long as they could run, were running in the same direction.

"Hurry up and pack the wheat, the children hold the bags, and the adults hurry up and pack the wheat." The production team leader shouted loudly to the crowd to arrange the tasks.

At this time, there was lightning and thunder in the sky and strong winds. This is the scene when the heavy white rain comes in the northern summer.

Heavy white rain usually only lasts for an hour or two, but the amount of rain is huge, as if it is being poured down from the sky with a basin.

Most of this year's wheat has been ground into grains and is being dried in turns in the wheat field during the day. If there is a heavy rain at this time, this summer will be over.

No one needs to say anything at this time, both adults and children are very conscious, as if they are trying their best to suck the milk, wishing they could give birth to eight hands.

"Hold up the bag and take it to the brigade granary as soon as you finish loading it." Li Wen and his younger brother Li Min cooperated.

Because there were not enough bags, after loading the wheat, I had to quickly pull it to the granary, dump it, and then come out and load it again.

Various carts and ox carts were also pulled out to load wheat or unmilled wheat sheaves.

The cattle and donkeys who were usually reluctant to beat them no longer cared about their feelings and urged them to run faster.

But thousands of acres of wheat are piled up in the fields, like hills. Even if there are thousands of people, they can't load up the wheat and transport it back immediately.

Crackling! Bean-sized raindrops began to fall, but no one left, and they were still holding the wheat nervously.

Many people lie on the ground and use sacks and bodies to block the wheat, fearing that the food will be washed away by the rain.
