The book is set in the 1970s, and it’s not easy to be the villain’s mother

Gu Tian entered the room at this time, took off her cotton-padded jacket and got on the kang, pulled up the quilt and was about to sleep.

"What's wrong? Mother?"

"I think you are right. Why should I give them the firewood that I worked so hard to collect? I will burn it."

Xiu'er: ...

"Anyway, I can't even admit this matter to death. Do you understand?"

"I understand, mother. Don't worry, I won't tell you." Xiu'er nodded obediently.

Gu Tian suddenly felt that Xiu'er didn't look like a villain at all.

On the contrary, he was running towards the path of becoming a villain.

At this time, Sun Juhua's yelling came from the back window: "You lose money broom star, if you dare to burn my stack of firewood, get out of here!"

Everyone is advising: "You have no evidence, how can you just make trouble for the educated youth? Go back!"

"Don't hold me back, you two bitches, how can I pick up so much firewood? Do you want to exhaust me to death?"

The village chief shouted: "Don't make trouble for the educated youth, go back!"

Sun Juhua cried and was pulled away.

Xiu'er and Gu Tian laughed out loud together. They were in a good mood and slept very sweetly.

When Gu Tian got up the next day, she saw Xiu'er sitting in front of the stove peeling potatoes.

These days, every household doesn’t have enough food to eat.

When Gu Tian took Xiu'er away, she only brought a little brown rice.

Du Jiang only had some corn noodles left. It was a time of drought, and the next few had to rely on potatoes to satisfy their hunger.

But Gu Tian didn't want Xiu'er to eat potatoes as food.

Xiu'er in the book has been eating potatoes for a long time. When she grew up, she couldn't eat meat. She would vomit if she ate too much. She got stomach cancer at a young age.

Gu Tian wanted to get something nutritious for her children to eat.

"Hey, what do you want to eat?"

She thought about it and decided to go to Sanshui River to get some fish.

There are only some crucian carp seeds there, with too many thorns and few thorns, so they are not easy to catch. The villagers use their own skills to get some for their own consumption, but the production team does not care.

She wanted to catch some fish and take the fish to the black market to exchange for food.

As she said, Gu Tian found a large net basket and walked to the river. There were already many people there, all trying to find ways to fish and improve the food for their families.

Speaking of which, she is really destined to this river. She has been here several times in just a few days.

Gu Tian crushed a few corn buns, threw them into the net basket, and lowered the net sideways into the river. Then she thought it was too cold here, so she went home and waited.

The other fishermen all scoffed: "How can we catch fish like this? We put so much effort into using fish food made of worms, but we can't catch even a few fish any day."

"No, that fish isn't stupid either. How could it get into her net?"

An hour later, Gu Tian came back.

She pulled the net bag, and it was full of jumping fish, weighing dozens of kilograms!

"Hey, there's quite a lot!" Gu Tian was very happy. She dragged the basket to the shore with great effort, packed the fish and left.

Everyone was stunned!

They also quickly followed Gu Tian's method to catch fish, but after several hours, their hands were still empty.

"Why is it that she is the only one who can catch this!"

"Does this woman have any magic skills?" The group of people were very frustrated.

Gu Tian carried the fish back and gave a few to the village chief first: "If you hadn't spoken for me, we would have nowhere to go. Just take it!"

The village chief said a few polite words and asked his wife to accept it.

This little daughter-in-law usually avoids people when she sees them and doesn't dare to raise her head when talking. Why is she suddenly so sensible?

Back at the educated youth spot, Gu Tian gave Bai educated youth a few more items.

Bai Lang quickly refused: "No, we educated youths are all eating in the cafeteria!"

Gu Tian understood that it was not good for the cafeteria to prepare fish for him and eat it together. Bai Lang couldn't eat more than a few bites, and other educated youths would not accept her favor.

"Then take it, and trade the fish with the villagers for some corn! It won't be good if someone sees you messing around with me again."

Only then did Bai Lang carefully accept it.

Gu Tian kept a dozen fish for herself to eat, and she froze the rest of the fish outside. She planned to take them to the black market to sell.

Du Jiang said: "We are trying to crack down on speculation now. If we catch you, we may be in big trouble."

"Then you can't starve to death." Gu Tian sat there collecting the fish: "I just have to be careful."

Du Jiang looked at Gu Tian in surprise. This girl was so brave, completely different from the legend.

Xiu'er asked: "Mom, can I go with you?"

"Sure." Gu Tian wanted to take Xiu'er around to enhance the relationship between mother and daughter.

The educated youth still ate pickles and dark bran steamed buns today, which made their throats ache when they swallowed them.Everyone was eating tastelessly when they suddenly smelled the aroma of fish coming from Du Jiang's house.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, so envious!

Lin Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said, "I never knew Gu Tian was so capable before. If you know how to please Mr. Du, you will have delicious food!"

The cafeteria master said: "Gu Daya caught that by herself. I watched her carrying her net bag to the river."

"Hmph, I don't believe it. When did she learn to fish? I don't know how she got it!"

Another said: "I heard that she has changed so much now that she even dares to beat her own mother-in-law."

Lin Yuanyuan snorted: "She should be driven out of the village. It has simply lowered the quality of the villagers."

Bai Lang felt very angry when he heard that she kept attacking Gu Tian.

But Gu Tian was a married woman. If she forced herself to stand up for her, it would be bad if gossip spread, so she could only eat in silence.

Gu Tian pulled Xiuer into a torn cotton-padded jacket and walked to the commune with the fish.

And behind them, someone was quietly following.

It was her brother-in-law Shi Honglong. He had just gone to collect firewood. When had he ever done such hard work? His back was so tired that he didn't even pick up a few firewood sticks.

He was scolding Gu Tian, ​​but as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Gu Tian and Xiu'er walking outside.

He figured it out: "Are you going to the black market? I will sue you this time. Your reputation will be completely ruined by then. In order to survive, you can only beg me. I must get you!"

Gu Tian and Xiu'er walked for nearly two hours before arriving at the commune. They were both freezing.

"Hold on, mommy will give you something delicious later."

Xiu'er nodded vigorously.

The commune only has a few more roads than the village. Even the supply and marketing cooperative and the school are all bungalows.Walls and telephone poles were covered with slogans.There is a large factory in the distance, with white smoke billowing out.

It has a bit of an artistic conception of a desert with solitary smoke.

There is a street behind these houses, commonly known as the black market, where people buy and sell things.

Nowadays, this place belongs to the people, no officials are involved, and everyone never hawks in public.

The people walked back and forth carrying baskets.Just chat a few words and leave after changing.

Gu Tian tightened her scarf, pulled Xiu'er, and looked around warily.

Soon someone came over and asked, "How do you sell this fish?"

Gu Tian glanced at him. He was in his 20s, had a sharp mouth, and didn't look like a good person.She led Xiu'er over without saying a word.

The man pulled Gu Tian hard: "Don't leave, I'm talking to you!"
