Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

There is no need to put a table anymore, Xu Shiyan took a small bench and sat in front of the pot table, picked up the bowl and ate.

The big ballast porridge is cooked well, the taste is soft and glutinous, and there are large white beans in the porridge. There is no chemical fertilizer in the grain of this year, so it tastes very grainy and fragrant.

The big porridge is lukewarm and refreshing, and then there is a bite of pickles and green onions. Although the farm food is simple, it is very comfortable to eat.

Zhou Guilan saw that her son had nothing to worry about, so she asked Su Anying to leave.

She had to go back to settle accounts with Xu Chenghou. She had always looked down on the third child, but now that the third child left home, didn't he live a good life?

Chapter 10 Raising a Family

When Mrs. Xu went back, she quarreled with her husband.

Then Xu's family also knew that Xu Shiyan had a good way of making money, and he could earn a lot of money by catching fish and buying them.

Xu Chenghou felt a little regretful, but the water that was thrown out when he said it was a manly man, he spit and nailed it, and he would definitely not be able to shit and then sit back.

"He is capable, but a blind cat meets a dead mouse.

I don't believe it, how much money can he earn selling fish?That thing can't be sold every day, and he will starve to death if he doesn't earn work points. "

Xu Chenghou refused to admit that he was wrong, and remained stubborn.

"Yes, you can make a fuss, the third son is a good boy, you scold him all day long, this time it's okay, I'm divorced from you.

In the future, when the child is promising, do you think he cares about you? "

Zhou Guilan was very angry with her husband, but she couldn't imitate others to yell at her, so she had to goug her husband twice with her eyes, and turned her head to pay attention to him without hesitation.

"I use him? A joke. I can still move, even if I can't move that day, there are still these four.

As far as his virtue is concerned, if I count on him, I might as well hang myself on a tree. "

Xu Chenghou scoffed at this, with a look of disdain, knocked the cigarette bag on the edge of the kang, put on his shoes, got off the ground, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Guilan looked at her husband's back, shook her head and sighed.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong, the two sisters-in-law, winked and winked, each with their own thoughts, envious and jealous of all kinds of emotions, wishing to separate immediately.

Xu Shiyan didn't know about this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

After working for a long time, tired and hungry, I ate three bowls of porridge in one go, and then I felt comfortable.

After eating, the couple gathered and tidied up the things they bought today.

Seeing the things her husband bought for her, Su Anying was moved and cried.Xu Shiyan was so scared that he thought he had done something wrong, so he coaxed him clumsily for a while.

"By the way, this is the rest of the money, and there are thirty or so yuan left, you take it."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law stopped crying, Xu Shiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly handed over the rest of the money to her for safekeeping.

"No, no, I don't want it, you better keep it." Su Anying waved her hands in fright.

Before she got married, although Su Anying also worked in the fields to earn work points, her stepmother was in charge of the family's money.

Marrying into the Xu family, she originally thought she was the mother-in-law's housekeeper, and Su Anying never thought that there would be a time when she was in charge of the money.

Dozens of dollars is already a huge sum of money in her eyes, and she dare not ask for it.

"We are husband and wife, husband and wife are one body, so naturally you have to take care of the money." Xu Shiyan smiled, feeling a little distressed.

"This is just the beginning. I will send fish to the Songjiang River every week in the future, and I will make some money."

"If there is a job in the team, I will go to earn work points. If I don't have a job, I will go to the mountains to collect herbs and do a side job. After a few days, when Honghamtou City is in town, I will go to the mountains to release the mountains and dig clubs. I can still hunt in winter."

Looking back now, he had a bad life in his previous life. It wasn't that he was lazy, it was just bad luck.

In [-], there was an accident in the Da'an Coal Mine, and it took more than half a year to recuperate from his injuries. He was neither a worker nor a farmer, and it was impossible for Xu Shiyan to be supported by the mine.

After giving some symbolic compensation, Xu Shiyan could only go home and work in farming.

In this poor and remote place along the Dongjiang River, the whole village has only about [-] mu of arable land, even less ginseng land, and what can be sold is yellow smoke.

There was no tobacco company to place an order in that year, and it was all pointing to going to the market for retail sales in winter. It was impossible to form an industry, and naturally it did not make money.

In [-], I moved to Donggang and missed the ginseng area in the team. I could only go to the mountains to dig soil for others, look at ginseng, and do side jobs. Finally, I slowly developed.

As a result, the price of ginseng plummeted in [-] and [-], and the days when it was just a little bit of color fell to the bottom again.

Anyway, in [-], the price of ginseng rose, and it was a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, in the autumn of [-], the couple went to work in the mountains and got into a car accident again.Su Anying was seriously injured and died on the spot, and Xu Shiyan was seriously injured and was hospitalized for a long time.

This time it was definitely a fatal blow. All the property of the Xu family, including the ginseng and ginseng land in the field, was thrown in, and there was still a lot of famine outside.

At that time, the two daughters, one in the third year of high school and the other in the first year of high school, both dropped out of school to work part-time to support the family.

It's a pity that the two daughters in his family are very good at studying. If there is no accident at home, both children can be admitted to university, how great would it be?

"Daughter-in-law, I dare not say that I can make you rich and powerful, but I will definitely treat you well in this life and never let you suffer."

Thinking of the hardships and hardships the couple had suffered in the previous life, Xu Shiyan only felt sad, stretched out his arms to hug his daughter-in-law, and made a solemn promise.

Su Anying snuggled into her husband's arms, showing a satisfied smile. "As long as you treat me well, I'm not afraid of suffering.

I am very capable. I work in the fields to earn work points, which is no worse than a man's work. Together, we will gradually get better. "

Xu Shiyan chuckled, and raised his hand to help his daughter-in-law tidy up her sideburns, "The most important thing is to take good care of your body, and leave it to me to make money."

The two have lived together for a lifetime, how can Xu Shiyan not understand the person next to him?This daughter-in-law in his family can't be called capable, she is too capable.

When he was working in the coal mine, Su Anying stayed at Xu's house. The two sisters-in-law played tricks and pushed all the work at home to Su Anying.

Even so, Su Anying didn't delay working in the fields to earn work points.

The year when their eldest daughter was born, just as Xu Shiyan was recovering from an accident at the mine, Su Anying was pregnant with the child and was about to give birth, so she transported thousands of catties of sweet potatoes home with a big belly.

Later, when they moved to Donggang, Su Anying also went up the mountain to dig the soil and plant ginseng. No matter how hard and tiring she was, she never heard her complain.

If he hadn't followed him to work on the mountain, how could his wife have died in a car accident?

In his previous life, he was incompetent, and made his wife suffer too much and suffer a lot of grievances.

In this life, Xu Shiyan hopes that his daughter-in-law will be well, safe and healthy, and grow old with him.

The two of them can see that their daughter is admitted to college, finds a good job, marries a good man, and is happy.

"Well, I will entrust you with making money in the future, and I will entrust everything in the family to me. I don't believe it. The two of us work together, how can we live well?"

Su Anying naturally trusted her husband wholeheartedly.

The newlywed couple cuddled together, chattering as if they had endless things to say.The two imagined the future, as if a better life was right in front of them.

The old Mrs. Li in the east room heard it, but she couldn't make a sound, she just shook her head and laughed.

Young man, how naive, how easy is it to live?It is a good day to be able to have a full meal and not go hungry or cold, so what else do you want?

"San'er, we don't have much firewood at home, help the aunt chop some firewood. It's time to make dinner later."

The old lady really didn't want to disturb the young couple in the Westinghouse, but when she went out to check, she found that there was not enough firewood.

When Xu Shiyan from Westinghouse heard this, he immediately let go of his wife and came out of the house.

"Auntie, let me come. When I come back tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to collect more firewood. Don't worry, keeping it in winter will not let you freeze."

Chapter 11 Back to the door

The young couple rested early in the evening, and early the next morning, the young couple packed up their things and prepared to return home.

Su Anying's family is in Daying Commune. From Dongjiangyan to Daying, you have to walk to Jewelry Hill, then take a train from Jewelry Hill to Xianren Bridge, and then walk from Xianren Bridge to Daying.

If you look at it from the map, walking like this is equivalent to going around half a circle. It is better to walk along the mountain road along the Dongjiang River and go straight to Daying.

But the mountain road is rough and difficult, and there is a section of the road in the middle where you have to climb the rocks, which is too dangerous, so Xu Shiyan would rather be on the safe side.

Going north along the Dongjiang River for more than eight miles is Qingling, where Xu Shide taught, and then walking seven or eight miles north, you will come to the Zhuanggang drop-off station.

Zhugegang is the pronunciation of Zhugegang, and Zhuge means the dead in Korean.

During the Japanese puppet period, many people died of Keshan disease in the Zhuanggang area, so this place name was left behind.

The construction of the Hunbai Railway began in [-], and it was fully opened to traffic in [-].

There are several express trains and slow trains from Baihe to Tonghua, Baihe to Shenyang, and several times a day. In addition to the Yanling train, it is quite convenient to go to Xianrenqiao.

At [-]:[-], there happened to be a bus coming into the station along the zero bus. Xu Shiyan squeezed into the bus while protecting his wife, paid for the ticket and sat down.

Along the zero train, it is a freight train with two carriages to carry passengers, most of which are short distances.

The trains of this year are still old-fashioned steam engines, the kind that burn coal, and someone is responsible for filling the boiler with coal.

When encountering an uphill, add coal in advance, and the train is suffocating with black smoke, climbing up the slope.

There is a total of 24 five miles from Zhuzhugang to Xianrenqiao. There is a stop at Huangjiaweizi in the middle, and the speed along the zero train is slow. After about [-] minutes, we arrive at Xianrenqiao.

Walk five or six miles westward from Xianrenqiao Station, and you will arrive at Daying Village, also known as Daying Brigade, where the Daying Commune is located.

There are many place names with the word "ying" in Fusong area, most of which are related to ginseng.

In 1910, Xie Taixin, a Dashen household in Yingkou, hired more than 100 workers and set up a relatively large club camp here, so it was later called Day Camp.

As soon as the young couple entered the village with their things, they were seen by children playing outside. After a while, many children gathered around and started booing.

"Oh, oh, the second sister of the Su family is leading her son-in-law home." A group of children shouted there, making Su Anying's face flush.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, each of you will give you a piece of candy, and go play."

Xu Shiyan took out a handful of candies from his pocket and distributed them to the children so that they wouldn't mess around.

Nowadays, life is hard at this time, and for the children, getting a piece of candy is almost in time for the Chinese New Year, and they are jumping happily.

"Hurry up, go to Su's house and report a letter, saying that the second sister has led her son-in-law back home."

With candy in his mouth, the child's boss gave instructions vaguely.

When two boys heard this, they rushed out with a whoosh, and Su Anying shouted in fright, telling them to run slowly and not to choke on sugar in their mouths.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Xu Shiyan shook his head with a smile.

Children in these days are all outside, crazy all day long, they don't care about anything, they are honest.

The husband and wife walked side by side to the village, followed by a group of children, and met some old men and old ladies from time to time on the road.

"Hey, isn't this the third boy of the old Xu's family? Did you come back home with your wife today?

Good guy, you still have these old things with you. No wonder people say that the old Xu's life is going well, it's true. "Someone said with emotion.

The ancestors of the Xu family came to the Northeast after crossing the Guandong, and initially lived in Shijiagou, Yinkuangzi Village, Qingshangou Township, Kuandian.

As the name suggests, Shijiagou is full of rocks, and when one hillside is shoveled, one can hear movement on that hillside.

The land is barren, the food production is low, and the people are very poor.

It is said that the poorer you are, the lazier you are. This is true. When Xu Chenghou was young, he was not only lazy, but also loved to gamble.I often go out to play money, and I don't see anyone for ten days and a half months.

If you win by playing money, you will buy a lot of delicious food, and if you lose, you will beat your wife and scold your children when you come home.

The house was so poor that there was no firewood for the fire. When it was time to cook, Zhou Guilan had to go to the back mountain to collect firewood. When it rained, she would worry about making a fire.

After liberation, people like Xu Chenghou became the target of attack.

If it wasn't for Zhou Guilan's old mother's idea to let them move out, Xu Chenghou would have been arrested long ago.

In the autumn of [-], Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan moved to Fusong with their children.

Maybe it was the old lady of the Zhou family's beatings that worked, or it could be Xu Chenghou's repentance.

Xu Chenghou changed it like this, and worked steadily to earn work points, and successfully gained a foothold in Daying.

It's a pity that in [-] and [-], Xu Shixian jumped up and down all kinds of slander, writing "black material" about the leaders of the commune.

If you offend others, you will be excluded everywhere, and you will not be able to get along in the big camp.

Just in 1970, Xu Shide became a substitute teacher and taught in Dongjiangyan, so his family had to move to Dongjiangyan to live.

It has only been seven years since Xu's family left Daying, and there are relatives here who often come and go, so most of them know Xu Shiyan.

Seeing Xu Shiyan returning home with his wife, he had to say hello and chat.

The Su family was by the small river in the middle of the village. Before they could cross the bridge, they saw Su Anying's fifth younger sister, Su Anfang, and sixth younger sister, Su Anhua, running towards them.

"Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are back. My parents were still talking about it this morning, wondering if second sister can come back today."

Su Anfang rushed over, squeezed Xu Shiyan away, and reached out to hug the second sister's left arm.
