"Sister-in-law, stop fighting, a roast chicken is worth nothing!"
As a modern person, Wang Xu’s concept of roast chicken is also a modern person’s concept.
A roast chicken, bought on the street, costs no more than twenty yuan at most, and a hundred yuan can kill someone.
It's a pity that this is the Republic of China and was occupied by the Japanese in 1940.
It was not uncommon to see people starving to death on the streets. People could not see a ounce of meat in their homes for a whole year. Roast chicken was something only those with status could eat.
For Xu Jiazhen, one roast chicken is ten days' ration.
I worked hard to wash clothes for others, but after ten days, the money I earned was enough to keep the mother and daughter on the verge of starving to death, and they couldn't afford even a penny more.
The times of the two parties were different. Wang Xu felt that Xu Jiazhen was making a fuss out of a molehill, but Xu Jiazhen believed that this was a debt that could not be repaid. After seeing Wang Xu appear, not only did he not let go of Feng Xia, but he beat her even more fiercely.
"Hey, stop fighting. You must be sick. The child is making you tired of fighting!" If Wang Xu had a good impression of Xu Jiazhen before, now he is a little upset.
It's true that Xu Jiazhen is a woman, but she is also an adult. How can a six-year-old child endure it?
After a few blows, Fengxia was beaten until she burst into tears. She didn't even know that the drumstick in her hand fell off, and she was choked with sobs.
"Brother, I can't afford to pay for your roasted chicken. You can drag this dog away. It still has a few taels of meat on it, so it can stand up to your roasted chicken." Xu Jiazhen stopped beating the child and instead pointed at the dog at home.
The old yellow dog must be dragged away by Wang Xu.
Wang Xu didn't cry or laugh. This dog looked like a mixed-haired dog. It usually didn't have enough to eat and was so hungry that it staggered when walking. Why did he come here?
Moreover, even though Xu Jiazhen said this, her eyes were full of reluctance, and she obviously had a deep affection for this dog.
Maybe, this old dog was left behind by the rich man who captured the strong man. It represents not only a dog, but a kind of longing. Even if Wang Xu is a bastard, he can't take away someone's love just because of a roast chicken.
Bar.
"Sister-in-law, we are neighbors. It's pointless to be so fussy. You said you live next door, and you took away your dog just for a roast chicken. Do you still have to say hello in the future?" Wang Xu laughed to himself after saying this.
Already.
It's a pity that Xu Jiazhen didn't smile. Although she couldn't let go of the dog, she didn't want to lose her own backbone.
Without Wang Xu taking any action, Xu Jiazhen let go of Fengxia, called Dahuang and headed out.
Seeing this attitude, Fengxia cried even harder, noisily crying: "Mom, don't give Rhubarb away, I don't dare to give it away anymore!"
"Dahuang, come here." Xu Jiazhen didn't even look at it. She was afraid that she would become soft-hearted.
Dahuang is a dog, and he doesn't know why. Hearing his mistress call him, he wags his tail and follows her in a flattering manner, not knowing his fate at all.
After a while, Wang Xu heard a knock on the door. He knew without looking that it was Xu Jiazhen coming with Dahuang.
Crunch...
Opening the door, there were indeed Xu Jiazhen and Dahuang outside, both of whom looked very thin.
Wang Xu wanted to refuse, but knew that he couldn't refuse.
This beauty who is suspected of being Gong Li has a strong heart and will not leave if she doesn't want Rhubarb.
With Fengxia's cries in his ears and the stubborn Xu Jiazhen in front of him, Wang Xu could do nothing but sigh.
"Sister-in-law, I'm raising this dog for you. When you have money, you can redeem it." Wang Xu felt very uncomfortable and had the illusion that he was a bully, bullying orphans and widowed mothers.
Xu Jiazhen bit her lower lip, nodded slightly, and ordered Dahuang: "Dahuang, go in."
Dahuang is very understanding of human nature. Hearing the order from the hostess, he entered the door without hesitation.
Seeing Dahuang go in, Xu Jiazhen slammed the door and never said a word again.
"Woof woof, woof woof woof!" Dahuang, who was escorted in, saw that the door was closed and lay on the door barking.
Xu Jiazhen did not come back, leaving Wang Xu alone, looking at the big yellow dog in front of him, somewhat at a loss.
Dahuang is a good dog and obedient, but this is someone else's dog.
Wang Xu really doubted that if the dog was so hungry, it would bite him twice after it couldn't find its owner.
Wang Xu thought so, and when Dahuang couldn't find his owner, he stopped climbing out the door and looked straight at him.
One person and one dog, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Wang Xu always felt that something was wrong with Dahuang's eyes, so he quickly stepped back: "Good dog, there is braised meat here, it's delicious!"
As he spoke, Wang Xu threw the pig head meat on the ground without hesitation.
Dahuang leaned over and smelled it. He didn't eat a bite, but still looked at him like this.
Wang Xu continued to play and backed away. The dog did not eat the pig head meat, but looked at him fiercely. What does this mean? It wants to bite him.
Facts have proved that Dahuang has a peaceful personality. After looking at Wang Xu for a few times, he stood up on his hind legs and leaned on the door to call.
"What a good dog!" Seeing that Rhubarb didn't intend to bite him, and even refused to eat the pig head meat he was given, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt that this dog had character and had the same backbone as Xu Jiazhen.
If the dog doesn't eat it, Wang Xu will eat it himself.
Sitting on the chair, Wang Xu took a sip of wine and a sip of soy sauce beef, and ate them all in a short time.
After we had had enough wine and food, the sky darkened. Rich people turned on electric lights, ordinary people lit oil lamps, and poor people's homes were completely dark.
Wang Xu's new house was bought by a company commander. It didn't have a phone, but it had electric lights.
However, he did not stay in the room for long, but went to the real world to check Xu Jiazhen's identity.
Return to reality, open the notebook, and search for the keywords Xu Jiazhen, Qiuxia, and Xu Fugui.
Soon, a movie came into view... "Alive"
Xu Fugui was originally a young master from a landlord's family. When he was young, he was ignorant and engaged in gambling and prostitution. He soon lost all his family property.
After falling into poverty, only his wife Jiazhen never left him. The two of them supported each other and finally made the rich man change his past.
The good times did not last long, the Japanese invaded China, and the Kuomintang garrison stationed in Tianjin was quickly defeated.
Fugui went out to sing a shadow puppet show, and happened to bump into the defeated army. He was forcibly taken to the south as a strong man...
The entire story of "To Live" is particularly tragic, as if all misfortunes have befallen this family.
After Fugui left, Fengxia fell seriously ill. Because she had no money to treat her, the high fever made Fengxia deaf and mute.
After Fugui returned, the pain continued, and he gave birth to a son named Youqing.
Because his family was poor, Youqing had to get up early to help with the work in the morning. As a result, when he was at school, he fell asleep sitting in the corner and was crushed to death by a falling brick.
When Qiuxia grew up, because she was deaf and mute, she couldn't find a good husband, so she married a worker named Erxi who was a little lame.
First, Qiuxia died of hemorrhage due to dystocia, and then Erxi was buried alive by a stone slab at the construction site, leaving only a single seedling called Bitter Root.
Suffering this blow, Xu Jiazhen became ill and soon passed away.
Similarly, as the name suggests, Kugen people have been suffering since childhood. Their families are poor and they have nothing to eat.
Fu Gui took pity on his grandson, so he boiled beans for him to eat. As a result, Kugen didn't even eat the boiled beans and strangled himself to death.
Finally, as the sun sets in the west, only Fugui and an old ox are seen in the reflected shadow, walking on the field ridge in the cold wind.
Fortunately, the movie version is better than the novel version, but not much better. The same destiny.
Wang Xu was dumbfounded when he saw Xu Jiazhen. Xu Jiazhen was strong, stubborn, and beautiful. He didn't expect such a tragic fate.
The little girl Fengxia also became deaf-mute when she was six or seven years old because she had a fever and had no money for treatment.
Hey, it seems that Fengxia is six or seven years old now!
