Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the fourth room of the Shen family started to have a frenzy early in the morning.

Finally, everyone was ready. Mrs. Cai took the New Year gifts and her children and grandchildren to go to Kaoshan Village, where her mother's family is located.

Shen Jin: "Nai, when the family is separated, my uncle and aunt came all the way to help with their relatives. Why don't we get some more New Year gifts?"

Mrs. Cai nodded Shen Jin's forehead: "Nai would like to take more, but our family's food is so good every day. If Nai takes away all the meat and everything, our daughter will have nothing to eat. What will we do if we get hungry when we come back?"

Shen Jin: "I'm not greedy, I'm not as greedy as my fourth brother."

Shen Yousheng had just received a 'severe beating', his mouth was pursed, and he took the blame for being 'greedy' in aggrieved manner.

Kaoshantun.

Early in the morning, Uncle Cai ordered his sons around: "You two aunts should be able to come back this year, so hurry up and put away all the rags in the house."

"I can make it clear to you in advance, and you can also make it clear to your wives behind closed doors that this is just one day of reunion every year."

"If I find out that someone is doing that little thing again, my aunt's kid will be in a weird and unhappy mood no matter what he eats. If we continue to do this, we won't have to spend the New Year. Whoever is looking for bad luck will be punished. I get out of here."

Uncle Cai was sitting on the kang, very authoritative: "I can go wherever I like, and I don't care if I follow my wife back to her parents' house and become her son-in-law."

This is what happened to Mrs. Cai when she returned to her natal family many years ago. The times were not good at that time, and Mrs. Cai had just borrowed grain from her natal family.

When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I brought Shen Xiu and Shen Youpeng back. Their buttocks were not yet warm, but because Shen Xiu ate a rice cake, they and Mrs. Cai were squeezed out by Uncle Cai's daughter-in-law and had no place to stand.

That time, Mrs. Cai left with tears in her eyes. Uncle Cai was very angry when he turned around. It was also many years since then. When she was in the second grade of junior high school, Mrs. Cai never returned to her parents' home.

It's not that she was angry, after all, her family had borrowed food during the famine years, so Mrs. Cai wanted to prevent her younger brother from being embarrassed in front of the younger generation. She should know her own identity and not let others think that she was here to bring trouble.

Uncle Cai's sons were unable to lift their heads after being sprayed by their own father, so they could only grind around the house looking for work.

When it came to the second aunt, they knew in their hearts that their daughter-in-law had done something wrong and was in the wrong, but there were so many juniors in the house, and all of them were now fathers at their age.

Who wouldn't find it embarrassing to be scolded like this by his own father?

Cai Jiangang, the eldest son of Uncle Cai, touched his bald forehead and smoothed things over with a smile: "Dad, your daughter-in-law was young and ignorant at that time. Now she is a mother. How can she still make such a joke?"

The remaining two sons also hurriedly expressed their loyalty: "Yes, Dad, who do you think we are? Are we the ones who run against our relatives and look down on them?"

"Last time when the second aunt separated, after we went to Dayang Village and came back, my wife complained that I didn't call her, saying that if she went with us, the old ladies would dare to behave in a bad way, and Old Shen might get even more from the separation. happy."

Uncle Cai glanced at his sons and snorted coldly.

Every one of them is an afterthought.

……

It was different from his previous life. In his last life, Uncle Cai wanted to adopt and support several orphans from his second sister's family, so he had to find his son and daughter-in-law.

Uncle Cai felt uncomfortable asking for help from others, even if it was his own son, especially since his sons were all married and raising a family was not easy.

He opened his mouth to feed a few young men... His daughter-in-law was unhappy and was throwing and beating at home, while Uncle Cai just listened silently.

In such a frustrating situation, Uncle Cai passed away early after all.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cai's family is doing well in this life. Uncle Cai is not as embarrassed as he was in his previous life. He scolded his son with great anger and no worries at all.

Liu Juan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cai family, came in to add hot water and happened to hear her husband and several brothers-in-law talking to her father-in-law around him.

He curled his lips and turned back to the kitchen.

The second daughter-in-law Fang Guihua was stunned when she saw her sister-in-law coming back: "Why didn't you stay warm in the house for a while?"

"Why is it warm? The old man is in the house and Brother Jiangang and the others are there. What can I do if I can't stay there?"

"How many of their brothers do you want to order?"

The third daughter-in-law, Yu Chunxia, ​​happened to come in. After hearing what her sister-in-law said, she hurriedly came over to ask, "Is it because my aunt will return to her parents' house later?"

Liu Juan: "No, I'm afraid I'll still be like before, with my second aunt's nose, nose, and face. Then when she brings a whole family to our house to enjoy the autumn breeze, I still have to serve her with tea and water in her honor?"

Yu Chunxia didn't understand: "Sister-in-law, aren't you talking about what happened before? Now the second aunt has divided the family, and I heard from Jianzhu of our family that the old nose's money has been divided."

Liu Juan threw a piece of firewood into the stove pit angrily: "What do you know? No matter how much money she gives, her son will be gone. How can an old lady with a bunch of half-grown children survive?"

"Is Jiangzi really in trouble?"

When it comes to Shen Jiang, Fang Guihua knows: "My man told me that Jiangzi was angry with his wife, so he just lay on the kang to endure the day."

"That's right." Liu Juan looked like her second sister-in-law had hit on the point, "Chunxia, ​​think about it, after Jiangzi leaves, will the things in Second Aunt's hands be kept by her stepson?"

"There's no way she can keep her here. Except for the third son, who seems stupid, the other two are very calculating."

"That's right! So just wait. The time to trouble us will come later. We will have to go back and forth to support her again and again just like the day we separated."

The more Liu Juan thought about it, the more annoyed she became: "Second aunt is still a picky person. Her son is gone, so the few things she got from the split are kept tightly and kept for Brother Youpeng and the others to get married when they grow up."

"So when she comes to us, she doesn't have to talk about any benefits. She must rely on her family ties and shamelessly beg us to support her and work for nothing."

When she made this analysis, the other two sisters-in-law immediately became ashamed. Liu Juan was right, the second aunt would definitely have a lot of bad things going on in the family from now on.

Just because they are relatives, the old man is still facing his biological sister. Tsk, they probably won't be able to hide away even if they want to.

Fang Guihua dug out a few sweet potatoes from the stove pit: "Don't worry, it's really troublesome for us. Why should we worry about her and refuse her? Hurry up and get some roasted sweet potatoes for the kids to eat before anyone comes."

"The autumn wind blowers will come soon. We kids can't catch those who are hungry and impatient. We will be hungry again during the Chinese New Year."

You can't let your children go hungry, this is the right thing to do.

The sisters-in-law looked at each other, each took two or three roasted sweet potatoes, and secretly asked their children to eat the roasted sweet potatoes while hiding from Uncle Cai.

On the other side, Shen Jiang was still muttering that they had not brought enough things with them this time.

"Mom, you said I didn't get involved when you were preparing New Year's gifts, but you ended up getting a few eggs, a pound of pork, and a pound of brown sugar?"

Mrs. Cai frowned: "Isn't this a little? What is a lot? This is the largest annual gift I have ever received in my life. You don't even know what I got when I went back to my parents' home."

"The conditions were not good back then. Can they be compared with now?"

Old Mrs. Cai became angry: "Oh, so now you are saying that your mother and I will not be able to behave in such a long life!"

While the mother and son were arguing, a black shadow rushed over from a distance. Before anyone could react, a fat and big gray rabbit hit Shen Jin's leg.

Strangely, Shen Jin just took a step back due to inertia. If it hurt...it didn't really hurt.

She bent down and picked up the big fat rabbit on the ground in confusion, then raised her head in confusion to see the quarreling mother and son who were stunned on the spot...

Shen Jin: "If I say that I don't know what to do and just wait and see, would you believe me?"

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while, Mrs. Cai's old face smiled like a sunflower.

Taking the big fat rabbit from Shen Jin's hand, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, now we don't have to quarrel. For such a big rabbit, it's enough for us to just hold this one!" "

Just as he was talking, he saw an equally plump hare, rushing out from nowhere with lightning speed, and once again bumped into Shen Jin's thin legs where he was standing.

Shen Jin: "..." I'm glad I didn't hit my head!

Mrs. Cai rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "This is...a good thing comes in pairs?!"
