Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Zhao Juying continued to bring her water.

Xia Mingshuang looked at her, an old lady carrying a load of water and walking like flying, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

After the third load of water was finished, Xia Mingshuang smiled and thanked Zhao Juying, but the old lady ignored her and ran away with the bucket again.

Xia Mingshuang: "..." That seems to be my bucket.

After a while, Zhao Juying came back with another load of water and a small basket with some vegetables in her hand.

Zhao Juying put the pole away and poured the vegetables into the dustpan in the yard, "Okay, we'll talk about it at the end of the month."

She was afraid that Xia Mingshuang would say anything else, so she left quickly.

Zhao Juying is used to being criticized and criticized, and she is particularly afraid of being praised and thanked.

Xia Mingshuang had a convulsion today and said thank you several times to her, praising her for her strength and her quick work, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Xia Mingshuang sat on a stool in the main room, shaking her feet and smiling contentedly, while stroking two handfuls of Zaizai's soft hair.

She saw that the child was too thin, so she kept stuffing him with food. After eating tomatoes, she stuffed him with crispy cucumbers.

Children know when they are full and hungry, they will take it when they are done eating, and eat a few more bites when they are hungry.

Xia Mingshuang rested for a while and then went to the house to look at the grain and flour.

The family has a large family, and this little flour is not enough to eat, so they have to grind it quickly.

She weighed more than ten kilograms of wheat and more than 20 kilograms of corn, and then weighed another thirty kilograms of sorghum and sun-dried dry sweet potatoes with a dark, curly color.

Look at the vat holding the grain, it looks like it is about to bottom out.

She still had to find a way to buy some food.

Originally, the original owner and the children had rations. In addition to the basic rations, the remaining money was purchased from the brigade. In addition, Gu Yunshan would also send food stamps back to subsidize the family.

But the original owner couldn't stand it. In order to please her aunt, Mrs. Gu and her second aunt, she always received some kind words or compliments from others, so she used them as favors.

When her family didn't have enough food, she treated several children harshly. Of course, she herself wasn't much better.

In short, it's hard to say.

Xia Mingshuang calculated that the extra money, rations, food stamps, and items the original owner gave to the old house were quite a lot. She had to find a way to get them back.

In addition, the family’s own farmland also needs to be returned.

After the People's Commune, the entire village's land was collectively owned, and later a portion of private land was allocated based on population.

The original owner had a total of five acres of land, a vegetable plot and a concentrated small field. Planting sweet potatoes or beans and corn could supplement the food rations.

This land is now in the old house, we must come back!

Xia Mingshuang was thinking about how to ask for money, food and land from the other side, but the other side was also scolding her.

Gu Yulian was sent home, where she was pinched and given brown sugar water to finally "wake up" her.

Gu Yulian was afraid of being embarrassed, so she signaled to Mrs. Gu to send the sister-in-law and the leprous wife away.

The leper's daughter-in-law asked her around to let her know something, maybe why she was so careless when she went out.

Mrs. Gu said a bunch of nice things and gave each of them a handful of hazelnuts to send them away.

Send them to the door, thank them again and again, and ask them to go out and stop talking nonsense, and don't talk nonsense when looking at other people.

Watching the two of them leave, Mrs. Gu's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, scaring the two grandchildren playing next to her.

Mrs. Gu returned to the house and looked at her little girl lying on the kang wiping her tears. She felt so distressed that she hugged her on the kang and screamed.

Mrs. Gu gave birth to such an old girl at the age of 31, and she held her baby like a baby bump since she was little.

Gu Yulian cried like pear blossoms with rain, hugging her mother's waist, "Mom, she wants to kill me, why do you think she is so vicious all of a sudden? She is obviously thinking about Song Yanmin, but instead she said that I want to find a man to play with. …Whew.”

Mrs. Gu's face was as gloomy as a day about to rain. She shouted outside: "Da Man'er, Da Man'er? Didn't I tell you to call my aunt here? Where did he die?"

Old Mrs. Gu was usually soft-spoken and kind, but now her voice was shrill and harsh.

Soon Gu Daman'er ran back and timidly said: "Nai, I called, I called several times, but my aunt ignored her."

Mrs. Gu's face became more and more gloomy.

Gu Yulian also said bitterly: "Mom, look at her, she is deliberately trying to make you angry and hurt me. She is probably dissatisfied a long time ago."

Gu Daman was afraid of being scolded. Although he only called Xia Mingshuang once, he had to say several times that Xia Mingshuang didn't come on purpose and didn't say that the other party was busy.

Seeing grandma's fierce look, she was so frightened that she ran away quickly.

Mrs. Gu called again: "The second brother's family——"

After Xia Mingshuang finished cleaning up at home, he took Zaizai with a basket to the Gu family's vegetable patch to pick vegetables.

The vegetable garden here is more spacious than the palm-sized vegetable garden in the yard. There are several vegetable beds inside and outside, including cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, kidney beans... everything.

Xia Mingshuang was not polite and picked the most mature and tender ones.

During her break from picking vegetables, she used dogtail grass to make little rabbits and kittens for little Zai Zai, which made little Zai Zai smile with joy.

From birth to now, this is the time when little Zai Zai smiles the most.

After picking and checking the weather, she took Zaizai home to prepare for cooking.

Before waiting at the door of the house, Xia Mingshuang saw Mrs. Gu and her second aunt Liu Xiaoxia glaring at her as if they were about to spit fire.

Seeing how fierce they were, the little Zaizai subconsciously hugged Xia Mingshuang's lap, wanting to protect his mother.

Mrs. Gu has always been gentle-spoken, the best at putting on airs with others, and she mainly tries to win over Xia Mingshuang. Now she lost her patience, and said with a sullen face, "What are you doing here, sir? I'm looking for you." I haven't seen anyone for several times. You don't care if your parents are sick or gone?"

Yo!

Xia Ming raised his eyebrows, what did he say? What does it have to do with me whether you die or not? Are you here to complain that I don’t care about you or what?

Do you care about me?

During the two days when the original owner had a fever, did you come and care about him?

You knew she had a fever, but you ignored her and just waited for her to recover before letting her come over to flatter you?

Shameless double-standard dog!

She immediately showed a concerned expression, "Oh, what's wrong with my parents? What disease are they suffering from?"

Mrs. Gu was so angry that she trembled, "What, you still hope that your parents will get sick?"

Xia Mingshuang shrugged, "It depends on what you said. Didn't you say that your parents are sick? I'll just ask."

Hehe, the first principle when quarreling with the best is not to be angry yourself, but to make the other party mad to death.

Sure enough, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she trembled all over and was speechless for a moment.

Liu Xiaoxia looked at Xia Mingshuang jealously, did her sister-in-law have convulsions or was she possessed by a ghost? You are so tough all of a sudden, how dare you talk to the old lady like this?

She took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Sister-in-law, how can you be so angry with my mother? My eldest brother is the most filial. If you say you are like this, you are not afraid that eldest brother will know..."

Xia Mingshuang glared at her coldly and said rudely: "What happened to me?"
