Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

"Why did school end so late today?" Sheng Xiping glanced at it, it seemed that school ended later than before, and asked casually.

"Oh, I watched them finish their homework before school was over.

Li Xue was not at school these past few days, and Li Xue couldn't stop them. These naughty kids were all going crazy.

When I checked my homework today, I found that a lot of it was not written.

Did I ask them not to write?This time they all stayed in school, and whoever finished writing was asked to go home from school. "

When it comes to these students in the class, Zhou Qinglan also feels helpless.

Everything was fine before, but just because she was delayed for a few days because of her wedding, this guy has been herding sheep one by one, doesn't study hard, and writes his homework in a mess.

Today Zhou Qinglan returned to class and got so angry that she scared the students.

"Okay, you, don't get angry with them.

These naughty kids are like that. They still don’t understand what independent learning is, and they all love to play. "

Let alone these years, even 30 years later, few children will be able to take the initiative to learn.

Nowadays, even if it is good, most children can complete their homework regardless of their parents.

Looking back later, those parents who accompany me with reading and writing homework every day will be angry to death.

There are those who break their bones while holding a table, some who have heart disease stents, and some who are so angry that they want to become a monk. The further they go, the more difficult it becomes to manage their children.

Of course Zhou Qinglan understands this truth, but she has just started to be a teacher, and she is still a substitute teacher and has not become a regular teacher. She wants to prove herself with results.

"Mom, what's for dinner? I'll do it."

After entering the house, Zhou Qinglan tried not to think about work anymore. Zhou Qinglan gathered her mood and discussed dinner with her mother-in-law.

"Nothing, just pork stewed with pickled cabbage vermicelli and a pot of pancakes.

You should rest quickly. You are so tired fighting with those naughty kids every day. Wash your hands and go back to the house for a while.

My food will be ready soon. "My daughter-in-law has a job and gets off work late. How can I wait for my daughter-in-law to come back before cooking?"

Zhang Shuzhen doesn't do that kind of annoying thing. She always prepares the meals early and makes them in advance.

This saves the children from going home hungry and the meal is not ready yet.

How can Zhou Qinglan say that she is just waiting to eat without working?

He quickly changed out of his coat, washed his hands, took the shovel from Zhang Shuzhen's hand, shoveled the pancakes out of the pot, and put the pork stewed with pickled cabbage and vermicelli into a basin.

In ordinary days, the meals are actually very simple.

Although this is just one dish from the Sheng family, there is a lot of meat in the dish, and the oil and water are not small, which is quite good.

Zhou Qinglan brought the sauerkraut basin into the room and put it on the table, while Zhang Shuzhen entered the room carrying a basket of dry food.

Sheng Xiping took the opportunity to pull two dried chili peppers from under the eaves outside and put them on the charcoal fire to dry.

When the peppers are slightly black and almost mushy, take them out quickly.

At this time, there was a spicy and burnt smell in the kitchen, which was quite fragrant, but also quite choking.

Sheng Xiping held the paste of chili peppers in one hand and took out a pile of four or five bowls from the cabinet with the other hand, and then entered the house.

Put the pickled cabbage vermicelli in the bowl with soup and water, and then crush the roasted, crispy chili peppers while they are hot and sprinkle them into the bowl.

Just one bite of sauerkraut and one big pancake. I was sweating profusely after eating it, not to mention how comfortable it was.

This is what Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping eat. Others don't dare to eat spicy food, so they just eat garlic cloves or sauerkraut directly. Anyway, they all taste delicious.

After dinner and cleaning up, Sheng Liancheng and his wife pushed the others to the north kang to read their homework, leaving Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping to sit on the south kang and chat.

"There were many people at home the night you got married, and you took a bus to Songjiang River the next day, and there were some things you never talked about.

It just so happens that we should chat about everything we need to talk about at this moment. "

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, she took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet.

The cloth bag was opened, and inside was a stack of money and an account book.

Needless to say, this should be the account book recording Sheng Xiping's wedding expenses.

"This is the account I asked my second brother to help me keep. It's the expenses for your wedding.

This money is what is left over from the money that the boss paid home from last winter to this spring.

I won’t go into details about the specific accounts. You can look at the account books yourself. I still have more than 700 yuan left in my hand. "

Since the beginning of winter last year, Sheng Xiping has brought back a total of 600 yuan, including wages for winter mining and transportation, plus pine nuts, skins, bear bile and other items.

After deducting the daily expenses for food and drink, as well as a series of expenses for Sheng Xiping's engagement and wedding, there was still more than 700 yuan left.

This is already very good. How many people work hard for a year, that is, they earn enough to live on.

"I will give half of this money to you as settlement expenses, and I will save the other half for my second son to get married and find a wife.

Do you have any objections to this? "

In the past, the children were not married, so they put their money together and spent it casually without having to worry about keeping any accounts.

But things are different now. When the eldest son marries a wife, he has his own family.

Even though they are still living and eating together without separation, some things must be settled clearly to avoid suspicion between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and conflicts in the future.

"Also, you are getting married, and your family has received a lot of gifts. I will not give these things to you. I will be the one who returns the gifts in the future.

In the future, when the second and third sons also get married and we separate our families, you will have to pay for these favors yourself. "

Even though Zhang Shuzhen is uneducated, she is a good housekeeper and not confused at all.

"You are married but we have not separated. You still live and eat at home.

So from now on, you two will give your family 15 yuan every month, which is food ration money. "

At this time, based on supply, a pound of corn is only about eight cents.

But the Sheng family has many children and the food supply is not enough, so they have to buy food at a high price.

A pound of food stamps on the black market costs [-] cents. Adding in the grain money, it's [-] cents more than a pound of grain.

Of course, buying grain from the large alkali field is not that expensive, but it still costs more than [-] cents.

Sheng Xiping and his wife are both young and have big appetites. The food they bought for 15 yuan is really not much.

"Mom, how can 15 yuan be enough? And what about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar? We can't all take advantage of the family.

Let's do this. Let's pay twenty to the family first, and then we can give more after seeing the situation. "

Before Sheng Xiping could speak, Zhou Qinglan rushed to speak.

Zhou Qinglan is not stupid and would not care about the few dollars on this.

They got married and didn't separate. They lived and ate with the Sheng family. They didn't have to worry about anything at home.

When I get off work at a certain time every day, I don’t even have to cook, so I don’t have to worry.

The couple pays 20 yuan a month, and she still has more than 18 yuan left over from her salary, which is enough for odd expenses. Sheng Xiping can save everything she earns.

If they separated and lived alone, wouldn't they have to worry about everything themselves?Don’t you have to pay for all the favors yourself?Where is the expense?

It’s hard to say whether 20 yuan a month is enough, but it’s not as clean as it is now.

When getting along with others, this person always fights for what is not enough and gives in to what is more than is enough. The same is true between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law refuse to give in to each other, there will be no time for peace in the family.

If mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all abide by the rules and give in to each other, the family will be much more harmonious.

Men no longer have to suffer from the trap, and their work can go smoothly.

Sheng Xiping had always been worried that his mother and daughter-in-law would not get along well, and he was in a dilemma.

Now it seems that I am overly worried. My mother and I are getting along very well. I hope this is not a temporary phenomenon and it is best to keep it like this.

"Mom, just do what Qinglan said. We will give the family 20 yuan every month. If it is not enough, you can tell me."

Sheng Xiping spoke up and tried to persuade the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be humble to each other.

Zhang Shuzhen originally felt sorry for her son and daughter-in-law, who had just gotten married, and wanted to help them more.

Since the daughter-in-law is so reasonable, what else can Zhang Shuzhen say?Then I can only nod in agreement.

In this way, Zhang Shuzhen divided the remaining 700 yuan in two and handed it to Zhou Qinglan together with the account book.

"Girl, keep the money, and you and your wife will take it out later if you have any expenses.

Don't not give money to a man on ordinary days, give him some money.

He was visiting friends this day, and he always went hunting in the mountains to buy some bullets and so on, so he had no money in his pocket. "

Zhang Shuzhen was still a little uneasy and gave Zhou Qinglan a few more instructions.

“Mom, don’t worry, I don’t care if he spends money.

Xiping doesn't smoke or drink. If I control him too strictly, he will be laughed at by his little buddies. "

Zhou Qinglan laughed when she heard this.

In the past few days since she returned home, her mother-in-law has given her many instructions and told her many ways to get along with men.

Zhou Qinglan, a diligent and studious person, must have kept everything in mind.

When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she couldn't be verbose anymore, "Hey, hey, yes.

You two live your life together, and if mom doesn't interfere so much, you two can get along slowly. "

After the son marries a wife, the mother should withdraw voluntarily and not interfere too much, nor rely on her status as mother-in-law to dictate.

Regardless of whether the family is separated or not, the son is already married. No matter how the young couple lives, there is less involvement.

At this point, it was basically enough. There was no need to continue chatting. It happened to be getting late, so Zhang Shuzhen urged Sheng Xiping and his wife to go back to the house to rest.

So the young couple took the money and ledger and went back to the West Room.

The power supply was cut off at nine o'clock in the evening, and every household had to finish cleaning up before nine o'clock and get into bed to sleep.

Sheng Xiping stayed with Zhou Qinglan in Songjianghe for three nights.

On the first night, there were many relatives at home, and everyone was crowded into the two and a half small rooms of the Zhou family. What else could they do?

Although the two of them stayed in the West Room for the next two nights, Sheng Xiping did not want to be too presumptuous because he was concerned about the feelings of the Zhou family.

It's the time when newlyweds are so close to each other, how can they bear it?

So on the first night back at Sheng's house, Sheng Xiping pestered his wife, and the two of them tossed around until midnight before falling asleep.

Young and healthy, Sheng Xiping was full of energy. Early the next morning, Sheng Xiping got up refreshed and got busy fetching water and chopping firewood.

Zhou Qinglan, on the other hand, was probably too tired and slept until almost seven o'clock.

Fortunately, it was Sunday and she didn't have to go to work, so Zhang Shuzhen said that no one should wake up Zhou Qinglan and let her sleep more.

After breakfast, the dogs were half full, and it happened that Wang Jianshe and others came to see Sheng Xiping.

The group of people, carrying guns and dogs, left the forest farm and headed straight for Zhang Lianxiang Hill.

After walking only four or five miles into the mountains, Erlang Shen started to howl. The leopard raised its head, sniffed, and also started to call out.

Needless to say, there must be the scent of wild beasts around here.

"Erlangshen, stop shouting, let's go find Heixiazi first."

Sheng Xiping patted Erlang Shen on the head and told him not to bark yet. Today's main task is to find the black blind man, and other prey will be discussed when he comes back.

Erlang Shen was temporarily calmed down and stopped barking. Everyone led the dogs and continued to move forward.

Less than half a mile out, I noticed that half of the hillside ahead was covered with traces of wild boars.

There must be dozens of them, big and small, and some of them have extremely big hoof marks, which can even catch up with Little Bowl's.

"Xiping, this is a large group of wild boars. No wonder Erlang Shen kept barking just now."

Under the guidance of Sheng Xiping, Wang Jianshe and others have made considerable progress. It can be seen from the footprints all over the ground that there are many pigs in the group, at least fifty or sixty.

It is quite rare to see such a large group of pigs, especially the big one in the middle. It is definitely a big pig, probably weighing no less than seven or eight hundred pounds.

“When we came here the day before yesterday, there were no footprints, so they were probably left yesterday.

Xiping, if the forest farm really wants to conduct spring hunting, I think it should be done earlier.

While these wild boars haven't broken up yet, let's find a way to round them up and kill them all. The harvest will definitely be big. "

Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others looked at the hoof prints on the ground, their eyes shining brightly.

Wild boars only gather together to form such a large gang when penning in winter.

After a period of warm weather and the snow has completely melted, most of the running baskets will leave and move alone, and the sows will only move around with their piglets.

If you miss the opportunity, it will be rare to see such a large herd of pigs again.

"Well, let's go see the blind man today first, and when we come back in the afternoon, we'll take a look around.

I'll discuss it with the other side of the alkaline farm later, and we'll go up the mountain to hunt pigs in the next few days. "Sheng Xiping nodded.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy, so they led the dogs and continued to move forward.

Erlang Shen looked at the footprints left by the wild boar with a look of reluctance and desperately wanted to pursue them.

It took Sheng Xiping a lot of effort to calm him down, and Erlang Shen was finally willing to follow them.

The Heixiazizi warehouse that Wang Jianshe and the others found was indeed not close to the forest farm.

Everyone walked forward for another twenty miles. Wang Jianshe pointed to the hillside in front and said, just climb over and we will be there.

"Okay, let's rest for a while, and then we can take down that warehouse when we are full of energy."

Sheng Xiping glanced at the mountains in front of him and nodded.

Everyone found a place to sit down and rest for a while. When they went out, they brought dry food and hot water. It was not cool yet, so everyone took two mouthfuls of dry food and drank water.

Sheng Xiping also broke open a pancake and fed the dogs a few bites.I don't know what the warehouse in front is like, they all have to try their best to conserve their energy.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to move forward.

After climbing over the hillock in front of him, Erlang Shen's nose twitched, and he suddenly felt something was wrong, and barked loudly.

Sheng Xiping looked stern and immediately loosened the rope and let go of Erlang Shen.

Then, Erlang Shen was seen rushing out like an arrow, screaming as he ran.

"Construction, release the dogs." Sheng Xiping shouted.

The others immediately untied the ropes around the dogs' necks, and then the remaining eight dogs followed Erlang Shen, spreading their hooves and rushing forward.

"Hurry up and chase." Sheng Xiping yelled and ran forward to chase the dog.
