Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Chen Shuting and Mr. Chen in the cowshed had just finished dinner. Chen Shuting was squatting on the ground washing the tableware for dinner when he heard a faint sound from the courtyard door, as if someone was knocking on the door.

Because the windows in the cow shed have been sealed, the smell of cow urine and feces in the house is a bit strong, and the temperature has not yet reached minus 10 or 20 degrees, so Chen Shuting will roll up the straw curtain on the door and open it from time to time every day. The door of the cowshed is open for ventilation.

"Grandpa, there seems to be a noise outside. I'll go out and take a look." Chen Shuting said to Mr. Chen, who was already lying down on the kang.

Then, without waiting for Mr. Chen to speak, Chen Shuting got up and came to the yard. He listened and waited for a few seconds. Sure enough, there was a voice outside the door again, which was his familiar knocking signal.

Chen Shuting hurriedly ran a few steps, opened the courtyard door, and found that it was Ye Mingyuan who had arrived. He quickly greeted him in a low voice: "Brother Mingyuan."

Ye Mingyuan responded and followed Chen Shuting into the house. After all, outside was not a good place to talk.

"Grandpa, Brother Mingyuan is here." Chen Shuting did not dare to speak loudly until he reached the room.

When Mr. Chen heard that Ye Mingyuan was coming, he quickly sat up from the kang and asked Chen Shuting to pour water for Ye Mingyuan.

Ye Mingyuan didn't stop him. He sat on the edge of the kang and took a sip of water. Then he started to take everything out of the basket and put it on the kang.

"Xiaoyuan, go back and tell Su Yatou not to send anything here anymore. It's too dangerous. If others see it, it will hurt you. Xiaoshu and I are already very grateful to you." Mr. Chen looked at the kang. A bunch of things, he said movingly.

"Grandpa Chen, please don't say such things again. Didn't I tell you last time? Jiaojiao really likes this younger brother Shuting. If Jiaojiao finds out what you said, she will definitely be sad. You don't have to If you are worried about us, we will be extra careful." Ye Mingyuan stepped forward and held Mr. Chen's hand to comfort him.

Mr. Chen couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he shook Ye Mingyuan's hand tightly.

Ye Mingyuan chatted with Mr. Chen for a while, then got off the kang and picked up the basket to go home.

Chen Shuting on the side finally had a chance to speak and asked quickly: "Brother Mingyuan, how is my sister doing lately? Is she still feeling unwell now?"

Su Jiao has not been out since she was pregnant. Su's mother stayed at Ye's house every day, and Wu Xiaoqin often visited. Chen Shuting did not dare to visit Su Jiao at Ye's house anymore. He had not seen Su Jiao for more than half a month. The last time I saw Su Jiao was when Su Jiao had severe morning sickness, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Ye Mingyuan looked down at Chen Shuting, who looked worried, and smiled. No wonder Su Jiao liked him so much. The little guy was as sensible as a little adult.

"Don't worry, your sister is fine. I will take good care of her. It's getting colder and you and grandpa should take care of themselves. If you need help or buy something, come to us." Ye Mingyuan reached out and touched it. Chen Shuting's little head said.

The little guy nodded obediently.

Ye Mingyuan carried the basket and went home.

At this time, Su's mother had already returned home. She put away the egg cream and then went to the east room with red dates and two pears.

"Mom, you're back." Sister-in-law Su was sewing socks for Dabao on the kang, and she said quickly when she saw Mother Su coming in.

"Milk~" Dabao, who was lying on the kang and playing, also called someone quickly.

Mother Su nodded in agreement and said: "These are the red dates that Jiaojiao asked me to bring to you. She said that you should eat a few to replenish your body. Mingyuan bought the pears in the county town. She asked me to bring two for you and Dabao, try it." Mother Su put the red dates and pears on the kang.

"Mom, no, leave it for the little sister to eat. She needs to replenish her body now." Sister-in-law Su said quickly.

"Jiaojiao, there is one more. This is specially given to you." Mother Su said, "Jiaojiao said that she ate red dates to replenish blood. If you take advantage of the winter to take good care of yourself, you might get pregnant again."

Sister-in-law Su accepted it sheepishly.

Mother Su is really a good mother-in-law. It has been four or five years since Sister-in-law Su gave birth to Dabao, and she has never been pregnant again. If it had been any other mother-in-law in the village, she might not have ridiculed her son openly and subtly. It is not uncommon for people to divorce and remarry.

But Mother Su never said anything. Even when outsiders mocked Sister-in-law Su as a hen that couldn't lay eggs, Mother Su would just go up and argue.

When Dabao saw the pears, he immediately sat up, picked one up from the bed and gave it to Sister-in-law Su. Then he picked up another and handed it to Mother Su's mouth: "Milk, eat."

"Dabao, eat it, there's milk too." Mother Su said happily.

Dabao took it to his mouth and took a bite, then smiled and said, "It's so sweet."

Ye Mingyuan returned home and told Su Jiao about the situation in the bullpen, and also brought Chen Shuting's concern.

"It's not in vain to hurt this little guy." Su Jiao said happily.

Ye Mingyuan didn't say anything else and just poured water for his wife's feet.

After Su Jiao and Ye Yao wiped their faces and soaked their feet, they obediently took off their clothes and got into bed to warm up.

In the winter here, it is unrealistic to wash your hair and bathe every day because it is too cold. Su Jiao soaks her feet every day, bathes and wipes her body every two or three days, and washes her hair every three or four days at noon. , and there are no hair dryers in this era, so it is easy to catch a cold if you are not careful.

Su Jiao thought that if she ate and slept every day, the days would pass peacefully, but she didn't expect that she would become restless the next day.

In the morning, Su's mother didn't come to Ye's house for a long time. For breakfast, Ye Mingyuan heated up the leftovers from last night and boiled eggs.

Su Jiao thought that Su's mother had something to do at home, but she didn't come until midnight. Yesterday, Su's mother said that she would come to teach Ye Mingyuan how to pickle salted eggs in the morning. Su Jiao felt panicked and asked Ye Mingyuan to go to Su's house quickly. have a look.

Ye Mingyuan asked Ye Yao to stay with Su Jiao at home and hurried out.

Ye Mingyuan had just walked out a few steps when he ran into Aunt Fengyun who was looking anxious and panting.

"Mingyuan, come with me quickly. Jiaojiao's grandma and second uncle are back, and they are starting to fight with your mother-in-law."

When Ye Mingyuan heard this, he had no time to ask more questions and hurriedly took Aunt Fengyun to Su's house.

Ye Mingyuan also asked about the matter along the way. His and Su Jiao's worries came true, because Su Baozhu was arrested, and Mrs. Su came back with Uncle Su to help find a solution.

Su's mother knew what Mrs. Su and Second Uncle Su's family had done, and Su Baozhu had himself to blame. Naturally, Su's mother didn't have a good face, and directly exposed the matter of Second Uncle Su's work, hoping to make them embarrassed and go back.

In the end, Mother Su still underestimated how shameless these two people were. The two made quarrels and threats, insisting on asking Su's mother for money to clear the relationship with Su Baozhu. Su's mother naturally disagreed, so they started to fight.

Aunt Fengyun saw something was wrong, so she went to the village to find the branch secretary for help. As a result, I heard that the party secretary had gone to the commune for a meeting today. Aunt Fengyun was afraid that Su's mother would suffer a loss, so she anxiously came to see Ye Mingyuan.

All the men in the Su family went to dig the river and clear out the silt. Only Mother Su and Sister-in-law Su were left in the family, as well as Su Dabao who could not help at all. They were no match for Uncle Su and Mrs. Su who were in their prime.

When Ye Mingyuan arrived, there were already several aunts and daughters-in-law outside the door who were watching the excitement. When they saw Ye Mingyuan rushing over, they quickly stepped back and let the door out.

When Ye Mingyuan rushed into the yard, he saw such a scene that made him jealous.

Mother Su and Sister-in-law Su had messy hair and messy clothes. They were being pinned to the ground by Uncle Su, unable to move. Old Mrs. Su on the side was holding Mother Su's hair while cursing at her.

Dabao sat on his knees in the yard and cried loudly, with an obvious palm mark on his face.

"Stop, let go of my mother, or don't blame me for being rude." Ye Mingyuan took a thick branch directly from the woodshed, pointed it at Uncle Su's back, and shouted angrily.

"Who do you think you are? You came here to recognize your mother. Do you care if I teach my daughter-in-law a lesson?" Mother Su turned around and saw that Ye Mingyuan didn't react for a moment. She opened her mouth to curse without stopping her hands.

"That's right, this woman dares to disobey her mother-in-law. She should be taught a lesson. If you dare to hit me, get out of here." Second Uncle Su on the side said with a dead fish eye.

Ye Mingyuan stopped talking nonsense, swung the branch towards Uncle Su and started to hit him hard.

The severe pain caused Uncle Su to jump up and hold his head and run away across the yard, screaming. Ye Mingyuan did not stop and continued to chase and beat him.

When Mrs. Su saw Uncle Su being beaten, she no longer cared about Mother Su. She got up and chased Ye Mingyuan, cursing as she ran, "You little bastard, you dare to beat my son. I'll fight you."

Aunt Fengyun, who followed into the hospital, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help Mother Su and Sister-in-law Su up.

Sister-in-law Su didn't bother to fix her hair and clothes, and ran over to hold the crying Dabao in her arms to comfort her.

Ye Mingyuan saw that Su's mother had stood up, and he slapped Second Uncle Su hard several times with anger, then ran to Su's side and asked eagerly: "Mom, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?" "

Mother Su straightened her hair, put on her clothes, and shook her head: "Mom is fine."

Ye Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue talking when Old Mrs. Su came over, supporting the grinning Uncle Su.

"It turns out you are that little bastard from the Ye family, and you dare to beat my son. Let me tell you, this matter is never over." Mrs. Su cursed angrily.

"If you dare to hit me, just wait for me..." Second Uncle Su said viciously.

Ye Mingyuan glanced at Uncle Su lightly. Uncle Su, who wanted to continue to say harsh words, suddenly got stuck when he remembered how hard Ye Mingyuan had hit him just now.

"He dared to hit my mother. I only hit her lightly. I will definitely take my mother to the hospital for examination. As long as there is a little injury on my body, I will not let it go. You come back and threaten us for money, but you still attack us if we don't get it. Beating people and bribing the police, I will definitely go to the county to find the leader to make the decision for us." Ye Mingyuan looked at Old Mrs. Su and said coldly.

"There is no threat to our family. Don't talk nonsense. When are we going to bribe you? This is a false accusation." Second Uncle Su, who had some knowledge after all, immediately denied it.

"It is only natural for me to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson. If she dares to disobey her mother-in-law, she is unfilial. I will teach her a lesson if I want to. And if you hit my son, I will not let you go." Old Mrs. Su said with a sideways look. He said with his lips.

"Old lady, this is New China. You are still practicing feudalism and talking about disobedience. This kind of thinking is unacceptable. You don't have to mess around here. We can go to the county police station to talk it over and see who is right. Who's wrong?" Ye Mingyuan looked at the old lady's face that wanted to be beaten, and took several deep breaths to calm down.

At this time, the people who were watching the excitement finally understood the melon and started talking about it.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the old lady is so capable. She can even find a job for the second child in the city. I asked her why we separated the family so quickly. It turned out that she was waiting here. She is really afraid of old age. Everyone gets something good."

"That bastard Su Baozhu has been sneaking around since he was a child and didn't do anything serious. Now that he's grown up, he committed a crime and was arrested by the police. Wow, it's a bit satisfying to think about it."

"Yes, I heard that Mingyuan has a friend who works as a police officer in the county. If Mingyuan tells his friend, Su Baozhu will probably suffer the same consequences."

"Yes, yes, that friend from Mingyuan comes here often. I heard that he and Fengzhen are also very close. If he knew that Fengzhen had suffered such great grievances, he would be designated to make the decision for Fengzhen. Oh, early. Knowing that I married my daughter to the boy Mingyuan, then now I also have a nephew from the police."
