"Attention, each group. Attention, each group. You are fighting on your own. You are fighting on your own. Take a shot and change places~"
A classic tunnel battle was played on the curtain, and everyone on the threshing floor was watching attentively. As the plot of the movie progressed, their expressions also changed, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes regretful.
Chu Heng was also watching a movie. I don't know why, but he started to feel sleepy after watching TV for a while at home, but now he was watching it with great enthusiasm, and from time to time he would curse the hateful little devil with the people around him.
Ni Yinghong snuggled next to him, staring at the curtain with her beautiful eyes, but she was thinking about other things in her mind.
When she came to the countryside for the first time, she saw many things and had many questions in her heart.
She couldn't understand why the countryside was so miserable. They were obviously growing food, but why couldn't they have enough to eat? Obviously they were growing hemp and cotton, but why could it be so difficult for them to own new clothes?
This doubt lingered in her mind for a long time, and she didn't think about it until the movie was over.
Looking at the subtitles on the curtain, Chu Heng lazily stretched his waist, turned around and saw his wife in a daze. He reached out his hand and rubbed her head gently in confusion, and asked in a warm voice: "What are you thinking about?"
?」
"fine."
Ni Yinghong came back to her senses, smiled sweetly at her husband, stood up with him, and followed the crowd out of the threshing floor, surrounded by Yang Qing, Ren Lingling and others, and walked to Yang Guizhi's home.
Along the way, everyone around him was chatting about the plot of the movie, but Xiao Ni was not interested in the conversation and just hummed along.
Yang Guizhi and the others didn't think much about it, just thinking that the girl was tired from the long journey.
Because Chu Heng knew that his wife had something on her mind, but there were so many people at the moment, it was not convenient for him to ask, so he could only wait for a while when no one was around before talking.
The group of people carried lanterns and chatted, and soon arrived at Yang Guizhi's house. Then they separated and went back to their respective homes.
Yang Guizhi's house has two and a half rooms in total. There is a kitchen at the entrance, a bedroom on the left and right, and a kang in each room.
In order to welcome Chu Heng and his wife, Yang Qing led several young brothers to clean up the house. The yard was swept, the thatch on the house was patched, and even the walls of the house were repainted with old newspapers.
, it looks bright under the orange light, but it smells damp, which may have something to do with the newspaper not drying out yet.
Yang Qing led Chu Heng and the others to the east room, pointed to the brand new straw mat on the kang, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, you two will live in this room. The mats and bedding are all new. There is a hot pot in the thermos on the cabinet."
The water is all freshly boiled, and the latrine..."
The hostess Yang Guizhi became more and more awkward as she listened. She always felt as if she was a guest. Before he could finish his words, she couldn't help but interjected: "Okay, okay, you two should go back quickly. This is my home, and I'm a stranger."
You are familiar with it, so there is no need to explain it in such detail."
"Hey." Yang Qing grinned and said, "Sister Guizhi, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that you are also from our village."
"You brat made me laugh at your sister!" Yang Guizhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then drove him away again: "Okay, come back quickly. Chu Heng and your sister-in-law have been tired for the whole day and need to rest.
Already."
So Yang Qing led Ren Lingling to say goodbye to them, and left Yang Guizhi with the lantern, but the direction they went back was not the Yang family or the Ren family, but the firewood pile at the entrance of the village...
After they left, Yang Guizhi found a candle and placed it in Chu Heng's room for them to use at night. Then she told her something else and asked her if she had something to do, then she yawned and went back to another room to sleep.
Went.
"This Yang Qing, I guess he gave us his wedding quilt." Chu Heng glanced at the colorful brand new quilt with dragon and phoenix patterns on the kang, shook his head and asked his wife to sit on the kang.
He took an enamel washbasin in the house that was also brand new and went to the kitchen water tank to get some water. When he came back, he washed up with his wife and then turned off the light, took off his clothes and got into bed.
In the darkness, in an unfamiliar environment, Chu Heng felt a little anxious in his heart, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he gently hugged his wife's smooth and plump body from behind, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, Ni Yinghong? I'm watching you watching TV.
When I was filming, I looked absent-minded."
Ni Yinghong turned around, faced this husband who was always known as a very understanding man, blinked her eyes, and asked the questions in her heart.
Chu Heng actually didn't know much about these things, but this didn't stop him from being silly, so after hearing this, he pondered for a moment, then put a plate of fruit on the stall and said nonchalantly: "I dare you to be so talkative.
Is that what you’re thinking about?”
"You should know that rural areas are different from us in the city. We eat commercial grains. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they are supplied from birth. Therefore, no matter whether you are rich or poor, the basic rations for several workers will not be less. It is rare.
I feel hungry and have no clothes to wear."
【In view of the general environment,
"In rural areas, work points are exchanged for food, money, and other things. In fact, if the year is good, the work points earned by a strong laborer are higher than the salary of an employee in the city. If he only supports himself, he will not be able to survive.
They should be richer than us. But look at which family is like this? Whose family is not full of old people and children, with a lot of younger brothers and sisters. Some families have only seven or eight children, so the little work they earn is divided evenly.
Naturally, there is a shortage of money. Some families have many people and few laborers. After all the rations are distributed throughout the year, they still owe money to the brigade."
After hearing this, Ni Yinghong thought thoughtfully and became even more puzzled: "Then why do they have to have more children? Wouldn't their life be easier like this?"
"There are many reasons for this." Chu Heng grabbed the fruit stand with a smile: "Some are girls who want a son, and some are accidentally conceived, so just let nature take its course."
Ni Yinghong slapped off its claws and pouted: "I really don't understand why these people have to have so many children when they can hardly afford to feed them anymore? Let the children suffer with them!"
"You are really too worried about how many children you have and how many mouthfuls of food you have to eat. What trouble will it cause to you?" Chu Heng said speechlessly.
Ni Yinghong arched her arms in her husband's arms, feeling overflowing with motherly love: "I just feel sorry for those children, don't you see? Many children in the village have bare buttocks, and there are many girls among them!"
"What's the use of feeling distressed? There are so many cases like this all over the country. Are you feeling distressed enough to come here? Okay, go to bed quickly." Chu Heng tightened his arms around his wife and slowly closed his eyes.
Ni Yinghong, however, was not sleepy at all. She touched her bulging belly and recalled the movie she watched today. The little girl wearing a hundred-pin clothes and looking longingly at the wotou in other people's hands had a seed in her heart.
Quietly sprouted.
If you have the ability in the future, you must do something!
