But this can’t be blamed on Xu Lan, after all, she was born different.
According to the oral accounts of the older generation of the Xu family.
Aunt Li Mu was not born in a hospital or at home, but was born while Grandma Li Mu was doing farm work.
This way of birth.
As a direct result, Xu Lan felt like she had been wronged greatly since she was a child, crying day and night.
It was also like she was dropped by Grandma Li Mu and knocked on the grass when she was just born. She was frightened, which made her very timid. Such a girl once made the entire old Xu family think that they would not be able to support her.
But she survived.
Still so big.
But probably because of being knocked on the head, the brain circuitry has been different from that of ordinary children since childhood.
Others go to school.
She misses her mother.
Others go to the wheat fields to pick grass and feed the pigs.
She came back with baskets of wheat.
As I grow up, I become more different.
The family found a match for her, and the other party was a county junior high school teacher.
In the 1980s and 1990s when the average salary was only in the 30s and 40s, this junior high school teacher's salary was very high, just over one hundred yuan. This does not seem much now, but first of all, we must understand that the purchasing power of a hundred yuan in that era was
But it is very strong. Just for buying vegetables, you can buy a flat car, but if you change it to pork, you can buy a whole pig.
According to Li Mu’s mother.
They would not buy pork by kilograms, but by liang.
Sometimes two taels, a little more than three taels is extravagant, and rich people are only willing to cut off half a catty.
And I don’t buy it every day. It’s amazing to be able to eat pork two or three times a month.
If the conversion into vegetables and pork is not intuitive, based on the housing prices at that time, in the 1980s, the average housing price in Guangzhou was more than 300 per square meter, and a house of 100 square meters cost more than 30,000.
Li Mu has read a report in the "Market News" published in February 1989.
I remember what it said: "According to the latest statistics, the total of national savings deposits plus cash in private pockets has reached 550 billion yuan. However, buying a house is still as out of reach for ordinary cadres as picking stars in the night sky.
In January this year, many houses were sold in Beijing's residential market at the beginning of the year. The transaction rate was only one-tenth. No one bought the houses. Hundreds of thousands of square meters of new residences were empty. The reason is that housing prices are expensive. The highest price per square meter has been 2,300.
It’s shockingly expensive, but the more than 20,000 square meters of housing provided by commercial housing actually reaches an incredibly high price of 1,600 per square meter.”
Not many words.
Throughout the article, amazing sentences and words such as "as unreachable as picking stars in the night sky" and "stunningly expensive and unbelievable" are used.
The places mentioned in the report are not those in the suburbs, but in prosperous areas in the city center, where 2,300 square meters per square meter is considered a unique property.
This is still a first-tier city.
In a third-tier small city like Ningyang, the house price would be a little over 200 per square meter at most.
Therefore, the marriage that the old Xu family found for their eldest daughter was completely high-profile, but Aunt Li Mu's thinking structure was obviously different from that of ordinary people. She actually thought that wearing glasses would affect her farm work, and she disagreed with her life and death. Grandpa Li Mu was very angry.
He picked up a willow stick and beat her hard. Even so, Aunt Li Mu still disagreed.
He also threatened to hang himself into a river.
The old Xu family was left with no choice but to give up.
Grandpa Li Mu and grandma probably felt disappointed when they missed such an outstanding son-in-law, who was a junior high school teacher. In the following years, they no longer had the careless eldest daughter. This also caused Aunt Li Mu to get married relatively late, and she was already a member of that era when she got married.
What an old girl.
As for the reason why Grandpa Li Mu later found a match for her, he was probably afraid that he, an old girl, would fall into his hands and not be able to get married.
Aunt Li Mu's second blind date is his current uncle.
His uncle's family was very poor. It can be described as "a house with only four walls". It had two thatched houses with wooden exterior walls. To this day, Li Mu still doesn't understand whether the wooden walls at his uncle's house were used to prevent thieves or not.
The thief knows that his family has nothing!? He looks down on his family.
Before getting married, Grandpa Li Mu asked Aunt Li Mu a classic question.
"Is this look good? You are definitely good at farm work."
This is also the reason why cousin Li Mu and Li Mu’s eldest sister Li Hong are one or two months apart in age.
The five daughters of the old Xu family.
The eldest daughter Xu Lan is abnormal
The three girls are searching.
The remaining few have their own characteristics, including Li Mu’s mother Xu Mei.
Because she, the second daughter, had always complained that Grandma Li Mu and Grandpa were partial and did not let the matchmaker introduce to her the junior high school teacher who wore glasses and looked polite.
She even complained about Li Mu’s grandpa and grandma. Even though they knew her sister was not a good family, they still didn’t think of building a bridge between her and the junior high school teacher. Otherwise, her family Li Mu and Li Hong would probably be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. In this case,
For the time being, it can only be heard as a joke between Li Mu’s mother and his aunt talking about the past, but it cannot be taken seriously.
Therefore, Li Mu expressed his understanding to his aunt who still did not allow their son to divorce even after his son was stabbed twice by his daughter-in-law.
Because his aunt really can't guess with ordinary people's thoughts.
Some people say: "Marriage is a matter between the husband and wife, what does it have to do with the parents?".
This does make sense, but it also needs to be divided. If it were applied to Cousin Li Mu, it would definitely not work. If he and Wang Jie divorced and did not get Aunt Li Mu's thoughts and work straightened out in advance, this old lady would cry for you every minute.<
/p>
She cannot harm others, but she can harm herself.
As children.
Do you choose to lie on the sofa and watch it as a joke and let her cry!?
Or should you take her thoughts into consideration before making a decision!?
A very difficult choice.
Judging from cousin Li Mu's performance so far, the choice has basically been determined.
On the one hand, he has doubts about the divorce and the lawsuit against Li Mu's cousin, but on the other hand, Aunt Li Mu played a role in it.
Sometimes.
Life is like this. No one can tell when someone else is facing a problem, or someone else's words are the straw that will tip the scales, especially their biological parents.
This choice may seem difficult.
But this is how many people live their lives.
I choose to be introverted in the workplace. In order to maintain a balance in life, I reluctantly give myself a knife.
"He is like a dog"
This line from "Westward Journey" has inexplicably become a part of most people's lives.
As for the "lying flat" that has become popular in recent times, married guards are no longer eligible to enjoy it. With two children, he dare not lie down even if he wants to. The same goes for Li Mu. His son's tuition and interest class fees will be needed for his future marriage.
There is no need for him to purchase any of the betrothal gifts, houses or cars.
For example, some young people will say, "If a child cannot marry a wife, it is because he has no ability. What does it have to do with his parents?"
This is a typical irresponsible statement.
Since you choose to give birth to a child, you must do your best to be responsible for the child, because no child comes into this world willingly, and his arrival is... forced to do nothing.
