Chapter 370 Li Tao's Grievance
Just as Li Wen was sighing with emotion, Li Wen's family in Sanxing Village, Weihe County, China, was eating a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
If anyone approaches, they will definitely be surprised. There are actually eight dishes on the table, five of which are meat dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish, and there is a big elbow in the middle.
Such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner will not be forgotten even in future generations, let alone now.
The reason why Li Wen's family had such a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was not because it was too luxurious, but because the family's conditions had really improved.
In recent years, Sanxing Village has been supported by regular orders from Venus Department Store of the Blue Star Group. It can be said that the life in Sanxing Village has been very nourishing, and it can be said that the life is no worse than that of the people in the city.
Because members had to farm and work, the city specially approved various machinery for Sanxing Village, allowing Sanxing Village to enter modernization decades ahead of schedule.
Of course, these machines were purchased by Samsung Village with its own money.
Sanxing Village now has seven tractors, as well as various types of wheat threshers, threshers, rotary cultivators, and seeders.
With these advanced machines, the farming work that used to take a month in Sanxing Village can now be completed in just one week.
After members of the commune have finished their farm work in the fields, they work one by one at home or in the collective workshop.
Now, except for the old lady, Li Wen's family can't work. Li Wen's parents, brothers and sisters can all earn money, and they work crops, so they can earn double income.
The country has been in difficulty for the past two years. At the end of this year, after obtaining the permission of the members, the brigade used most of its income to support the country, but the amount distributed to each person was at least eighty or ninety yuan.
While the members of other brigades were all doing different things whether they were good or not, and whether they were good or bad, Sanxing Village had already left them far behind.
Li Wen's family is much more comfortable now than in the city. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are workers who eat public food, and their combined monthly salary is sixty or seventy yuan.
My parents and my 14-year-old sister work at home and farm the land, so I can share the food and dividends, so I am considered a very wealthy household.
Moreover, in recent years, because Sanxing Village has to earn foreign exchange, there are also subsidies. In addition to some bills, there are also implementation policies. The county has specially approved that Sanxing Village does not need to pay pigs anymore.
Therefore, in the past two years, Sanxing Village has begun to raise pigs on a large scale. In addition to killing pigs to reward members during busy farming festivals, the team also kills twenty or thirty new year pigs at the end of each year, and each household can share more than ten or twenty kilograms of meat.
This year, Li Wen's family received a dividend of nearly 300 yuan, and also received twelve pounds of pork. In addition, the commune leaders sent Li Wen a condolence pork knuckle when he sent Li Wen's mail. There is no problem in having a fat year.
"Alas! The good life of our family is all earned by Awen. I don't know if this guy who is celebrating the New Year is living well outside.
There are also Xiaomin and Xiaoyong who are not going home to visit during the Chinese New Year. They are busy in the army all day long." Wang Chunmei said with emotion after eating a big piece of fat meat.
"Yes! This brat doesn't know how to find a wife when he's out there alone.
This guy is already 22 years old and is still single. He is hiding and we can’t beat him or scold him at home. It’s really sad.” Li Deyou was holding the chicken butt and eating it deliciously. Hearing what Wang Chunmei said, he also hurriedly
replied.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. That day when the commune delivered the mail, didn't you also send the letter urging the marriage?
I heard that life under capitalism is difficult outside. I believe that this kid Awen must have been busy with work in the past few years. He must have considered his personal problems.
Also, everyone will be happy during the Chinese New Year, and sighing will easily bring bad luck home." The seventy-five-year-old old lady knocked on the table and said.
"Mom, we understand, we are just worried that this child will not have a good time living alone outside.
By the way, Xiaotao. How is the girl your Aunt Hua introduced to you a few days ago? Have you fallen in love with her?" Li Deyou quickly changed the subject for fear of upsetting the old lady.
As Li Deyou changed the topic, everyone's eyes also fell on Li Tao, who was eating at the end of the table.
Li Tao, who was still a little kid back then, is now 17 years old, and he is old enough to meet someone.
Nowadays, the young men from Sanxing Village are very popular in a radius of dozens of miles. As long as the news is released that a boy from Sanxing Village is looking for a wife, the door will definitely be broken.
Nowadays, many girls who have no jobs in the city are willing to marry to Sanxing Village as wives because the benefits of being a member of Sanxing Village are good.
"I don't like that girl. She's too thick. I want to find someone with fairer skin." Li Tao said shamelessly.
When everyone in the room heard this, they all laughed instantly.
"You brat, you have no ability, yet you are so picky. I think that girl is very nice, she looks like she's made for farm work.
If you don't believe me, ask your mother, we both think that girl is good." Li Decai glared at Li Tao and said.
"Anyway, I don't like it. If I want to marry you, I don't agree." Li Tao also got angry.
"Hey! What did you say, you brat? Are you looking for something to do during the Chinese New Year?" Li Decai suddenly stood up.
"Okay, what's the point of getting angry with the child when the second oldest one is celebrating the New Year!" Li Deyou quickly stopped him.
Li Decai didn't want to have sex with his son during the New Year, not to mention that the old mother loved her grandson, so he didn't dare.
"Xiao Tao, my uncle knows that you want to marry a wife from the city. He also knows that your elder brothers and younger brothers have all been eating from the public family in the past few years, so he leaves you alone to farm at home, which makes you feel angry.
Originally, I didn't want to mention this matter since it hasn't been completed yet, but now that it's brought up today, uncle will give you some reassurance.
Years ago, when the cadres from the county and commune came to deliver Brother Awen's email to your home, they mentioned it to me and said that they could give our family a job quota.
My uncle didn't ask about this matter in detail at that time. In this way, after the new year, my uncle will go to the county to ask in person. If it is true, this job quota will be given to you." Li Deyou said.
In fact, Li Deyou originally wanted to reserve this quota for his little daughter Li Juan, but today when he saw his little nephew Li Deyou, he softened his heart and decided to give the quota to Li Tao.
As for the job of his youngest daughter Li Juan, Li Deyou thought about waiting for Li Juan to become an adult in a few years. After all, there is a relationship between the second son in the family.
"Uncle, is it true?"
Li Tao's eyes were red when he heard Li Deyou's words. No one knew the grievances he had endured over the years.
Li Tao was fed up with the comments from friends and relatives that all your brothers were eating from the government and you were the only one working hard at home farming.
Today, Li Deyou told Li Tao's grievances in front of the whole family. At this time, Li Tao could no longer hold back and couldn't stop crying. After all, he was still a young man under seventeen years old.
In fact, this is also the fault of Li Wen's second uncle, Li Decai. At first, Li Wen originally wanted both Li Tao brothers to serve in the army, but Li Decai wanted to leave a child to take care of him in old age, thus ignoring Li Tao's feelings.
Of the three sons of Li Decai's family, Li Tao is much smarter than his twin brother Li Yong and the eldest Li Quan.
Now Li Quan is a regular worker, and Li Yong has been promoted to stay in the army. Only Li Tao, the smartest son, almost ended up with his face turned upside down because of Li Decai's obstruction.
Because there were many children in the family, Li Decai and his wife worked all day long to support the family. In addition, they had a rough personality, so they did ignore Li Tao. At this time, seeing Li Tao's aggrieved look, Li Decai and Cui Yanzi were also stunned.
