This sound should be very common, but for Lin Yutong, it has not been heard for several years. Living in Qingyan, Kyushu, no matter how down-to-earth the area is, it is difficult to hear the crow of a cock.
These years have been tiring! Whether it is the fourth master or himself. It is not just to satisfy the fourth master’s regrets. For Lin Yutong, why doesn’t he want to do more and do more. In fact, any one of them can return to the world.
The Chinese people in the past were only afraid of the same thing they wanted to do. They were afraid of not having enough time, and they just hated that there was not enough time. They wanted to do too much, but what they could do was limited. I can only say that I tried my best during those thirty years! As for the
What will happen next is really not what she should think about.
When she was very tired, she told her fourth master that if there was a next life, she would take a good rest. The fourth master just laughed and said yes!
With this thought in mind, I stretched out my hand out of habit and touched the side.
"Get up when you wake up!" A somewhat majestic female voice sounded from the side, "You are touching here and there, what are you touching?"
Lin Yutong sat up after a while. The rooster crowed for the first time. It was not yet dawn. The room was so dark that he could not see anything. After blinking for a long time, he slowly adapted to the darkness, and then he saw the other side of the kang.
There was a person sitting at one end. There was only a vague outline, but looking at the outline, he looked very petite.
She came to the conclusion in her mind that she was a petite little old lady.
Then what?
Then she couldn't see anything else in the room, and she didn't know who the little old lady opposite was. She didn't know what year or month she was in now, and she didn't know where she was.
what to do?
With a 'pop' sound, he fell straight back and then 'sleeped'!
The old lady at the other end muttered something unknown. Lin Yutong pretended not to hear it, reached out and quietly touched the pillow - the coarse pillow leather. He rubbed the corner of the pillow and intuitively felt that what was inside was - wheat.
The straw was chopped into pieces and placed in the pillow. If it was newly made, it would be a bit prickly. If the pillow had been used for a long time, it would feel bare to the touch. She felt this texture under her hands. She pulled the quilt closer to her body.
I pulled it and moved my feet. It seemed that the feeling was right. It was made of coarse cloth.
But based on this, we can't judge the era.
It was no longer cured. I raised my hand and touched my body. It was not a bellyband! It was a gown. It felt a bit like - indeed good!
Lin Yutong's brows were knotted, and there was always a feeling that the days were passing over again.
Just as I was in a daze, the little old lady's voice rang out, "Get up when you wake up! Whose eldest girl slept until now?"
When Lin Yutong poked his head out of bed, it was already bright. A little above his head, there was the window. The window was not big and made of paper. The words "福" on it were a little old, but they were still neatly pasted on it.
Still sitting.
Without sitting up, Lin Yutong turned his eyes and looked in the direction of the old lady, and Lin Yutong let out a sigh in his heart.
Why?
Because there was only one sentence in her heart at this moment - what a beautiful old lady.
That’s right, it’s Peugeot!
The old lady was sitting cross-legged on the kang, with her feet pressed under her buttocks. It was the kind of cross-legged method that she had never learned. The old lady was sitting cross-legged there. Lin Yutong thought that the black pants should be the kind that
Large-scale trousers with leggings, and a gray jacket with a partial lapel on top. They are neatly worn, which gives the impression that the breast shape is still there, and the waist is also very slender. Looking up, the neck is long
She has an oval face, her hair is tied up at the back and combed smoothly. Let’s talk about that face. There are wrinkles, and it feels like she is in her sixties. She has willow-leaf eyebrows and a cherry mouth. Now that the light is not good, it is also
You can't tell whether it's white or black, but the outline and the upright posture make people feel that she is a beauty just by looking at her. If she had been young, she would have definitely been a beauty among beauties.
.
It's different from the kind of youthful beauty that is obviously sixty or seventy years old and has plastic surgery. If you have to compare, just compare it with people on TV. The same actor plays from young to old. The old method is
She looks very stylish even when she is older. She can still see the shadow of her youthful appearance, so I think it is particularly suitable for a little old lady.
Lin Yutong half-squinted his eyes and tried to avoid talking to the old lady. Looking left and right, he saw neatly stacked clothes beside the pillow.
The shirt, floral, is really good. When I put it on, it felt like it had a waist but not a waist, and a chest but not the breasts. It was straight and shapeless. When I touched down further, what I pulled out were trousers and denim? It seemed so! Indigo blue
Colorful. The legs of the trousers are very wide. The waist is not a zipper, but a button. Button it up. I looked for the belt but could not find it. I felt the waistband, okay! The waistband is just the waistband.
He lay there straight and put on his pants.
I got off the kang, and there were shoes under the kang. I felt around and found socks stuffed inside the shoes. They were nylon socks. There were patches on the soles of my feet, but they were clean. I put them on and stuffed my feet into the shoes.
The shoes are cloth shoes with a loose strap. They must be old shoes. They are loose and can be taken off and put on without taking them off.
This outfit would have been considered quite respectable in rural areas in the 1970s and 1980s.
After getting dressed, I stamped my feet, as if this would make the clothes on my body fit more snugly. Only then did I have time to look left and right at the room. In addition to a large kang that could sleep three or four people, there was also a large
The square table is facing the door of the room. On both sides of the square table, there are two old-fashioned, particularly old-fashioned chairs with backrests. They should be black, but now they are mottled and have long since lost their original look. They are a little shiny after being worn.
.
There is a hot water bottle on the table with a bamboo cover. It is a small thermos bottle, the type that can no longer be found in supermarkets. In the middle is a large enamel plate, and on the plate is a white porcelain teapot. The teapot
There are two teacups upside down on the side.
Judging from this object, the population of this family is very simple.
Two people.
Apart from myself, the old lady is probably the only one left.
There is no wardrobe in the house, only two big door boxes. Lin Yutong is very familiar with this thing. He once used it to press the head of the bed. Now that there is no bed to press it, this thing is placed on the end of the kang, right behind the old lady.
There is a folded quilt on top.
Maybe it was because she was looking left and right as if she were looking for something, so the old lady said, "What are you looking for? The washbasin is outside..."
"Oh!" Lin Yutong responded, and when she saw the old lady reaching out to fold the quilt for herself, she stepped out.
The door to the room was not the one door that was common in the future, but two doors with a latch in the middle. Lin Yutong opened the door, and the cold air from outside came to the door. He shivered all over, and his mind became clearer.
It must be early summer now. There is a faint fragrance of jujube flowers in the air. If you feel cold, you must have gotten up early. It is bright and bright, it must be around five o'clock, and it is still a bit cold just wearing a shirt.
There was a washbasin stand under the window outside the door. I took the basin and went to the water urn in the yard to scoop water to wash my face.
I couldn't find the mirror, so I touched the two braids on my head. They were not messy. I just took the comb on the window sill and licked my hair. Thinking of the old lady's meticulous hair, I guessed that she couldn't see any frizzy hair, so she used it specially.
Comb with a comb dipped in water.
As for brushing your teeth...I don't want to use others' teeth for the moment. I rub the back of my teeth with kitchen salt and forget it.
I thought it was neatly organized, but when I entered, I could clearly feel the old lady's brows furrowing.
The two stared at each other with four eyes, and the old lady's brows furrowed even more tightly. Just as Lin Yutong was thinking about how to talk, voices came from outside the door.
"Aunt Xiuya, are you up? Use your bucket..."
Lin Yutong thought to himself, who is talking outside? His voice was so loud that half of the alley was alarmed.
She glanced in the direction of the door, and as soon as she turned around, she saw that the old lady's brows were so furrowed that they could kill a mosquito, "Why are you standing around here if you don't drive away?"
"Huh?" Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment before he understood that the 'Aunt Xiuya' in Qingqing was the old lady.
She slipped out and opened the door latch. Standing at the door was an... aunt in her forties.
She should be called Auntie.
Lin Yutong pursed her lips and smiled, then let the door open.
"Is it up?" the aunt said, and then walked inside, passed through the hall, and reached the courtyard. Beside the wall of the courtyard, there were two buckets with a pole on the buckets. The buckets were made of tin sheets.
There is also the word "Qi" written in red paint on it.
This is a sign. Even if something is borrowed, it will not be used by too many people. It will not be clear when the time comes, and there will be no way to deal with it if it is lost.
With the word "Qi", does it mean that the family's surname is Qi, or the old lady's surname is Qi.
Hard to say.
Anyway, as far as the family is concerned, the old lady and I don’t know what the relationship is. It’s OK to say they are grandparents, but we can’t say whether she is the daughter of the old lady.
I was still thinking about it, but the aunt over there had already come out with a bucket on a pole. As she walked out, she said: "Tong, the door is open. I'll call the fourth child over in a while. Two loads of water will be enough for you two days."
..." As he spoke, he walked out of the gate, and when he was in the alley, he turned around and shouted again, "Auntie, let's go..."
The old lady was inside sweeping the kang with a small broom and responded loudly.
Lin Yutong watched the old lady's movements and heard the rustling sound of a big broom sweeping the ground at the door. He quickly looked for the broom from behind the door. Finally, he no longer had to stand there like a second-hand man.
The layout of this house is a bit like a rural area in the northwest. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a hallway. There are two rooms on each side of the hallway. The east side is the upper room, where the elders of the family live. The west side is the lower room, where the younger generation lives. After the hallway is the courtyard.
Everything in the yard can be built into a building, and the kitchen is usually in the building.
While Lin Yutong swept the dust in the hall out of the door, he looked at the opposite door across a four- to five-meter-wide alley. The house had such a layout. The house was a thatched house with mud walls, but it looked spacious.
Very.
The house I live in seems a bit small. To be precise, it is half smaller, like half a yard.
There is only half of the hall, and there is a room with the old lady in it. The hall is very narrow, and there is a narrow yard when you enter. There is a big jujube tree in the yard, and both sides extend into the yard next door. The kitchen I just went to should be
The house built later was next to the inhabited house and was only half the size of a room.
After sweeping the door, I found that most of the people's doors had been cleaned. Adults were barking, children were crying, and chickens were running around in the alley.
Everyone said hello to each other as they passed by.
One said, 'Tong, why aren't you going to the field today?' The other said, 'Tong, why did you get up so late?'
Lin Yutong responded vaguely. The only thing he thought about was to find time and space to look at his past memories. Otherwise, his whole body would be numb and his reactions would be slow.
When I turned around and went to sweep the yard, I heard someone shouting: "Tong, catch it quickly, I didn't see someone bringing you water..."
This was followed by the roar of laughter from several women.
Lin Yutong was a little confused. Just give him water. Why are you laughing?
He turned his face and lowered his head. A tall boy with a crew cut came over carrying water. His half-worn white shirt was open, revealing a washed-yellow vest underneath. His military trousers were a little yellow and were rolled up to his calves.
, wearing a pair of rubber shoes, bare feet.
As soon as the young man raised his head, Lin Yutong met a pair of dark eyes.
Come on!
Fourth Master, you have earned another lifetime.
This appearance is definitely the most handsome.
The fourth master raised the corner of his mouth, carried the load and walked in. Lin Yutong led the people into the yard. When he raised his head, he saw the old lady's eyes looking this way through the window.
This is pretty tight.
It's not good for older girls to get too close to young boys. Lin Yutong gave the Fourth Master a look.
Fourth Master leaned on the pole and moved slightly to block Lin Yutong's sharp eyes, "Is everything okay?"
Lin Yutong looked the fourth master up and down, "You're fine. How are you doing?"
Before the fourth master could speak, he heard the old lady's voice, "Tong, where did you put the needle and thread?"
How did Lin Yutong know?
The Fourth Master chuckled lightly, "Okay. Just know where you are. I'll find you when I find a chance." After saying that, he poured the water into the urn, put the bucket and the pole against the wall, turned around and left again.
When I arrived at the door, I said hello inside, "Grandma Qi, just say something when you run out of water..."
The old lady was speechless inside. Lin Yutong winked at the fourth master and told him to leave first.
Lin Yutong felt at ease. Just when she was thinking about whether she had to go to the kitchen to cook, the old lady called from inside. She went in and sat on the edge of the kang. Before she could sit down, she heard the old lady say: "He's dead."
That's the right thing to do, Lao Jin's family can't do it."
Lao Jin’s family? Whose family?
"People are good people." The old lady snorted, "But what's the use of good people? Five brothers, five bachelors! The old people on the two floors above are lucky if they don't bear the account after entering the door. How do you think you can live your life like this?
"
This is what I said. I almost knew what was going on when I heard it. There are many brothers in the family, and life is difficult. My grandparents are probably still alive. It will definitely be difficult for a big family. If I marry my daughter, this life will definitely be
It can't be done either.
But now it’s time to talk about something else. Isn’t that person Fourth Master?
The old lady said Jin's family, and the aunt who borrowed the barrel said Laosi.
Then the Fourth Master is the fourth eldest son of the Jin family.
Lin Yutong didn't say anything, and lay down on the kang with a drooped face. He didn't mean to avoid confrontation with the old lady, but it took time to find an opportunity to receive the memory of the original owner.
When the old lady saw her like this, she stopped talking. She sat on the side with her mouth pursed, her head lowered and her eyes closed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Now that he was showing off his temper, Lin Yutong closed his eyes with peace of mind.
It was like watching a movie in my mind, one section after another flashing through my mind.
It is now 1979, and this girl is seventeen years old. The relationship with the old lady is one of adoption and adoption. The old lady Qi Xiuya is sixty-seven years old. She grew up in a small businessman's family.
I was also down and out because I was born well and became a concubine for an official. Those who have no children will no longer be interested in having little wives after they are liberated. The men of that family brought younger little wives to have children with that little wife.
The children went to Taiwan, and none of the others were taken with them. The younger wives who had children all followed their children to find other ways to make a living. Only she followed the eldest wife and the eldest wife's children back to her hometown.
The eldest wife also died a few years ago, and the children no longer supported her, so she was given a row of stables in the old house. This is the narrow yard where she lives now.
She was an old lady with small feet who had never suffered hardship. She was a widower and was taken care of by the production brigade in those years. During those special times, she was not affected. In the words of that time, she was also a suffering and oppressed woman.
Now that he has been liberated, he is considered a model. Being a model, he will naturally receive preferential treatment everywhere.
Why did I adopt a child? In fact, when I adopted this girl, she was already seven or eight years old.
It's not that her parents are dead, but that her parents over there can't afford to raise her. This girl was not her biological child, she was adopted. Later, she gave birth to her biological child, and life became difficult again. The older the child was, the more she ate.
The more children there are, the more they can't afford to raise them. Some people think that the child is pitiful, so they say that they should find a home for the child. Otherwise, they find the old lady Qi.
How did you find this place? This is the largest town in the area. Whenever there is a market in the town, the old lady will set up a tea stall at the entrance of the alley. In those years when business was not busy, she was doing voluntary service and enjoying care, old lady.
The smart ones also went to serve others. As they came and went, they got to know more people. One said that the old lady was kind-hearted, and the other said that the old lady was lonely. She had to raise a child alone. She would have someone to take care of her and serve her tea when she gets old.
She's a water girl. Just like that, even though we're dozens of miles apart, the first thing people think of is her.
The children were brought directly, and the old lady had to say no?
Just like that, the girl was put in the name of the old lady. At that time, the old lady was already in her sixties, so she must be of the wrong seniority to be a mother, so she just adopted her granddaughter. I didn't think it was troublesome, so she didn't even change her name.
My name is Lin Yutong.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little girl has become a big girl. It’s time to talk about marriage and get married.
The old lady was not very satisfied with the young man that the little girl liked.
It's also a condition like that, everyone has to think carefully about it. This can be considered excusable. Even if they are childhood sweethearts, looking at it from the perspective of an old lady who has been through it, it is not acceptable.
When I opened my eyes, the meal was already on the table.
She got up, wiped her face with a towel, and went to the table.
Cornmeal pancakes and rice porridge.
Gone!
There are no vegetables. I didn’t go to the fields or pick up wild vegetables today, so I’ll just eat them like this.
"Still can't figure it out?" The old lady raised her eyes and continued to look at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong lowered his head, "Mistress, what you said makes sense. You only see the disadvantages, but you don't see the benefits. Think about it, there are only two of us in our family. Once I get married, you will be the only one left in the family. You
How old are you, sixty-seven. Who can help you with the heavy work? Who can take care of someone who has a headache and fever? The Jin family has a hundred bad things, so they only occupy one good thing, so it's close to you." He lives in an alley.
, there are two houses in the middle. Walking from the door of one house to the door of that house, the distance is thirty or forty meters, and it takes even one minute. If you stand in the house and shout loudly, you can hear it from the other side.
.
not good?
The old lady held the bowl for a moment, but said nothing. She just pushed the plate with the pancakes in front of Lin Yutong, "You said it, I'm already sixty-seven. How many more years can I live? For this
A few years and a lifetime of being with you are not worth it."
Hey!
This little old lady, what if you don’t want to listen?
If you don’t go to work in the morning, you won’t be able to do it at noon.
Lin Yutong washed the pots and dishes quickly with hands and feet, and then heard someone shouting outside, "Tong... is gone..."
She quickly responded, put on a pair of older cloth shoes under the eaves, said something to the old lady and left.
Standing at the door was a girl aged 16 or 17. In my memory, her name was Xiaoqin.
She has a round face with two pigtails and a chubby figure, which makes her look blessed. The result of this appearance is that the threshold of her family is almost broken by matchmakers.
She dragged Lin Yutong and stuffed eggs into her mouth while walking, "Have you agreed?"
It seems that my best friend knows a few things about this childhood sweetheart.
Lin Yutong shook his head and stuffed the half of the egg white that Xiaoqin had secretly stuffed into his mouth. What do you think of the taste? I just wanted to ask this girl how long she had been holding the peeled egg in her hand.
I tried my best to swallow the eggs that had a weird salty taste. Just as I was about to speak, I felt someone poked me in the waist.
Xiaoqin took Lin Yutong's arm and poked her, winking, "Look...it's out..."
When I looked up, I saw the Fourth Master going out with a hoe.
When Lin Yutong saw the Fourth Master, he also saw the thatched cottage in the background, and then five young men who came out of the thatched cottage in succession.
Today's fourth master has a very down-to-earth name, his name is Mantun.
Lots of gold!
After using this surname, I feel that this name is even more radiant.
Lin Yutong was about to speak, but his arm was pulled by Xiaoqin. He couldn't help but keep up with her pace, and was dragged away. He purposely walked past the group of young men quickly, and then slowed down.
pace.
The sound of a group of people laughing loudly came from behind. The young men in the alley gathered together and walked back and forth. They probably saw Lin Yutong being dragged away and made fun of the fourth master.
There were thirty or forty families living in an alley. At this time, families had a large number of children throughout their lives. One or two was considered a small number, three or four was common, five or six was not uncommon, and seven or eight could be fed.
Calculating it this way, how many young men of the same age are there? Anyway, when you look back, you feel like they are together.
Lin Yutong, who was being dragged here, had not yet complained. The girl named Su Xiaoqin complained first, "...You just want to talk, so don't say it now. I'll wait for you when I get another chance."
Look how scared I was just now..."
You said that children who grew up together, but now that they have reached adolescence, they don't talk to each other. Those who talk to each other are probably in love with each other.
Lin Yutong slowly adapted to the mentality of this seventy-eighth-year-old girl, and nodded along with him. He couldn't help but look back. As soon as he turned his head, there were bursts of laughter from behind.
No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't stand this.
Following Su Xiaoqin, she left quickly and arrived at the field. The team leader assigned tasks. The women weeded the wheat fields, and the men renovated the drinking ditches, which are ditches used for irrigation. They are only as shallow as an adult's calf. This kind of ditch is almost used for irrigation.
Trim it once at a time. The wheat has already headed, so I guess it will need to be irrigated again in the near future.
He followed the woman to the fields, one person at a time. The wheat was even taller than the calf, and the grass in the field was taller than the wheat, and some of it had already bloomed. If you don’t pull it out, the seeds will fall when they are harvested.
On the ground, or it would get mixed into the wheat. I haven’t done this work for several years, but it’s okay, my body is used to it. I can bend down and squat down. When pulling out such thick grass, my hands are covered
The strangulation didn't hurt much either.
After pulling it out for three to five minutes, I raised my head to see what others were doing, fearing that I might have done something wrong and cause trouble. I also wanted to take a look at where Fourth Master is now.
In the end, the fourth master didn't see it, probably because he was arranged to be far away. But the fourth master's mother, the aunt who borrowed the bucket, saw it. She was right next door to her, bending down and picking out the old wild vegetables inside while pulling weeds.
Come out, pinch off the top leaves, raise your hands and stuff them into your clothes pocket. When the stuffing is full, it will be enough for a bundle, then use other grass to bundle the wild vegetable leaves and put them on the longzi. Take them home to build them.
Eat the food.
Lin Yutong then remembered that there was no food at home. So when he saw wild onions and wild garlic, he also picked them up. The taste of wild garlic is actually not good. It tastes similar to onions when eaten raw, and is even pungent than onions. But this stuff is not necessary.
It's about money. Let's add some flavor to it. Nowadays, even if you have money, you have nowhere to buy groceries.
Thanks to me for being a hard-working and good girl, I don’t feel tired even after working for so long.
My ears still have time to listen to other people's chatter. Where there are many women, there is always talk. This is always the case. With so many women gathered together, how can they not talk?
With so many people talking and so many topics, who should you listen to?
The ears understand the owner's thoughts very well, and he took the initiative to switch Aunt Jin's channel.
Next to Aunt Jin was her opposite door. The two were about the same age. Lin Yutong was also familiar with that person. Children of her age would call her Peach Blossom Girl no matter whose family they were.
Taohua is her name, and the title 'Mother' is similar to the concept of aunt in some places.
My name is Peach Blossom, but I can't help but feel sorry for her. She is not good-looking, has jagged teeth, and bites her tongue a bit when speaking.
Just listen to her say, "Dacan, have you heard back from over there?"
Dacan is the name of Aunt Jin. It can’t be said to be a name. It would be nice for a baby girl at that time to have a baby name. She also didn’t choose a name seriously. In her parents’ family, she was called ‘Silan’, and because she was the eldest child, she was called Dacan
When he came back and married into the Jin family, he was given another name, Zhuxian. The name Wenya was not called, but the name 'Silkworm' was known to more people.
Lin Yutong also remembered the word "over there" in Peach Blossom Girl's words. It was referring to the marriage proposal to Jin Mancheng, the boss of the Jin family.
As soon as she mentioned this matter, Aunt Jin's voice became brighter, "I'm back, that's pretty much it."
Five bachelors, if you can solve one of them, you will definitely be worried to death as a mother.
Peach Blossom Girl said yes, and pulled weeds only against Aunt Jin's side. She kept winking at Aunt Jin, and glanced in Lin Yutong's direction from the corner of her eyes, "... hurry up and decide on the big things. The following is
That would be easier to handle...otherwise all the ready-made ones would have to fly..."
Aunt Jin pursed her lips and said this.
Nowadays, no one dares to be picky about other girls, as long as they are willing to be with their own son, who is not cross-eyed, lame, missing arms or legs, that will be fine.
I'm forty-eight, and there's one waiting here. Don't worry!
At the age of thirty-nine, he is a bastard who has never stopped since he was a child. But there is also a good thing about the naughty boy, that is, when it comes to talking about his wife, don't worry about it. They are also talking secretly over there. They are from the same village.
Girl, it's just that we're not in the same team. The girl doesn't look good, she has a little buck teeth. She's a bit clumsy, but nothing else is wrong with her. She's quite willing in her heart. This is the virtue of this family, the meticulousness of a meticulous family.
Girl, the arrangement at home is difficult.
As for the second child, he is twenty-two and not too young. But the second child is capable and can get along anywhere. Some people said before that Xiying was recruiting girls for marriage, so they wanted to find someone who could support the family.
.She didn't agree at the time, but she was willing in her heart. It was only four or five miles away, so what if she wanted to recruit a bride?
We have to settle the matter of the eldest brother first. The eldest brother is already twenty-four. He graduated from high school and works an easy job in a breeding farm. But even if he can't be said to be a relative, in the final analysis, he is still poor and has many brothers.
, dragging down the boss all his life.
That's what she thought. But when Lin Yutong was taking a break, she and Su Xiaoqin were talking to a group of girls.
Others also said, "Then Jin Mancheng carried a load of water and his legs were shaking. I wonder what that girl saw in her?"
The speaker was a tall girl with short, ear-length hair. She was chewing a wild fruit whose name she didn't know. It was green and astringent, but she kept chewing it, spitting as she chewed.
The round-faced girl squatting down to sort the wild vegetables, named Fenglan, chuckled and said, "My aunt is the matchmaker, I know that. That girl's father is one-eyed, and she has four or five younger brothers and sisters. Her father
For three hundred yuan, the Jin family also agreed to buy a bicycle for the eldest brother during the wedding."
That’s really a lot.
As Lin Yutong listened, she felt that everyone was looking towards her.
What can she say, what she wants, what kind of bicycle she wants?!
Su Xiaoqin pouted, "This is a big price in the city."
Lin Yutong said in his heart that if the old lady knew about it, she would be even less willing to do so. You said that you married the boss with a lot of debts. What are you going to do with the remaining four wives?
The fourth master has always been the image of a man with shining golden legs, but now he has really become a poor man.
In the afternoon, we went to the breeding farm to pull hay, and the young man and the old girl were paired up to pull the cart. Only then did Lin Yutong have the opportunity to talk to the fourth master.
One of them was pulling, and the other was pushing at the shaft of the car. They didn't dare to speak loudly because there were people in front and behind.
Lin Yutong said, "What should we do? Face the loess and back to the sky?"
"Don't think about school now." Fourth Master turned around and smiled, "If you wait for a while, maybe there will be results. It's okay. I'll find a good job for you later."
That's not what I'm talking about.
Of course I also know that it is unrealistic to go to school to get out of the farm. After all, this girl only went to the first grade of elementary school, and then her adoptive parents gave up, and when she came to live with the old lady, she never went to school at all. Oh! There were educated youths in the village in the past two years.
I had a literacy class when I was a child. She attended one session, which lasted about three months, with a total of twelve classes. What she learned was "I am Chinese," I love the Communist Party of China, and "I love the North."
Jingtian | An | Men 'Miss Chairman Mao ' WH Great Revolution is a great revolution ' and the like. I know a few hundred words. I can read them, but I may not recognize them.
Write.
You said that for such a person to suddenly go to some university to get admitted, isn't this a demon?
It's simply impossible.
Let’s talk about Fourth Master, the situation is slightly better. He graduated from elementary school and dropped out of junior high school. If we talk about his junior high school education level, he is barely qualified.
When the two of them were admitted to Peking University, the result was definitely not a happy one but a series of investigations. The reason was - cheating!
Don't say it's okay. At this time, nothing can happen for the sake of a university place. A report letter will result in you having to stay in jail for half your life. If you don't study by yourself, it will be fine if no one checks it. If someone checks it, then
You have to make it clear. If you are self-taught, what did you learn? Where did you learn it? Where are the calligraphy practice books? What books did you read and where did you get them? A lie requires countless lies to cover up, and it is simply unbearable.
Verified.
It seems that there is no other way to think of other than continuing to work on the farm.
At this time, it was still a production team, and the team also had its own breeding farm.
There are pigs, cattle and sheep.
Today, there are only two people in the breeding farm, who are responsible for feeding the livestock. One of them is the fourth master’s eldest brother, Jin Mancheng, who is said to be shaking his legs while carrying water.
In fact, he struggled to work in the breeding farm. He could hold a pile of grass more than a girl could hold. But he was quite skilled. After graduating from high school, he learned some skills from an old veterinarian. For example, when sheep need to mate, pigs
When it comes to inciting, he can do these things, and then he can give injections. People prescribe medicine, and he can start to inject it. This was an amazing skill at the time. He hung around in the breeding farm all day long, holding a nine-centimeter,
A strong worker.
When they arrived at the place where they were grazing, the fourth master definitely didn't ask Lin Yutong to do it. He did it all by himself. He leaned against the car and talked to Lin Yutong, "The livestock station in town needs someone... I'll go over and take a look in the next few days...
...Temporary workers...you go there for a while first..."
In fact, almost all of the temporary workers at this time became regular workers later on.
Fourth Master wants to take advantage of this opportunity. At least temporarily, he will no longer have to do hard work. After a while, it will be time to harvest the wheat, which will be even more tiring.
Lin Yutong is still in a state of dark eyes, so he just says okay.
This was not the place to talk, so she didn't ask in detail, she just said quickly: "Do you want money?" There are still a lot of RMB in this era.
The fourth master shook his head, "No need!" There were five young men in one room, and their clothes were all thrown in and out, and they were paying back the money. They couldn't put anything away.
Then how he did it, Lin Yutong cannot know.
As he was talking, he looked up and saw that his lips were cracked, indicating that he was thirsty. But when he saw them, he was drinking cold water from the water jar in the breeding farm. There was only one water ladle for so many people.
How to drink?
I had to endure it.
The next day, Lin Yutong found a can and brought a bottle of cold water. He had to put it under the tree with his head down first and cover it with a pile of grass. He told the fourth master, and he took advantage of it when no one was paying attention.
Go over and have a drink. It’s not that you don’t want others to see it, but everyone will drink it if they see it. The bottle I cooked for half the night is no longer in vain. Cover it with grass, and others will think that someone kept it to feed the chickens.
Basically, no one touches things that are planted with owners.
The two of them acted like thieves. Talking to the underground party or handing over something was more difficult than passing information to the underground party.
The old lady's eyes are like a searchlight all day long. If she comes back a little later, she can go and examine her for half an hour.
Today I finished drinking a can of water. When the old lady came in, she asked, "Did you drink alone?"
"Yeah!" Lin Yutong responded without changing his expression, "My stomach hurts after drinking the water outside."
Quickly pull it onto your body.
The old lady's expression became better now, "You can't drink that water from now on."
In fact, the old lady's life is more refined than that of other people around her. She lives in a wealthy family, and no matter how poor she is, the old lady can still manage everything neatly. What's more, the old lady is really not poor.
Or the little old lady is a smart person. When the man who was a high official left, he left money for her. At that time, it was silver coins and gold bars. The old lady never showed her face to these things. She hid them! She even followed the eldest wife to see them.
She has such an expression on her face. Why? Isn’t it because she knows she can’t leave? She can leave if she wants, but the children will search for her belongings. Once they are found, they will leave the things behind and leave! Many families were like that in those days. So the old lady
If she doesn’t leave, how will she live after leaving? She has no children, and the old man didn’t leave any family property. Most people believe this. Who is rich and willing to be inferior to others? As a result, the old lady suffered for several years. In fact,
In the new society, it's just a matter of doing more housework. If the bullying is too severe, someone will step in to take care of her. When no one can support her anymore, she still has half a yard. Her external image is pitiful!
But Lin Yutong knew that the old lady buried good things under the old jujube tree. Occasionally, she would take out a silver dollar and go to the county next door to exchange it for cents. It would not look out of place or leak.
Therefore, following the old lady is not really a hardship for this girl.
Of course the old lady would not bear to ask the child to suffer hardship in someone else's home...
