Rebirth to the pastoral

Chapter 15 Heart-warming family members

The whole village of Zhoujia Village is engaged in animal husbandry. Cheng Chaoyang married the richest family in the village and raised hundreds of cows. Unfortunately, although this family is rich, the population is not prosperous. , they followed the old rule and asked brother-in-law Zhou to carry two houses on his shoulders. However, in the new era, two wives cannot be married. Zhou's parents want to marry a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a good child. In the end, they found the Cheng family, because the master said that Sister Cheng was destined to have many children, so the Zhou family happily married Sister Cheng back.

The dowry is indeed a lot. The 10 yuan nine years ago is very valuable, but at least one of the children born in the future will not be called my mother, but will be called aunt, and there will be two mothers-in-law on top. Who would like that?However, at that time, the Cheng family's uncle had already been imprisoned, and the Cheng family lost one of the most profitable pillars, and Cheng Xiaoran fell ill every three days, and the Cheng family was so tormented that the whole family could not eat. Sister Cheng gritted her teeth, For the 10 yuan bride price, she resolutely married.

She was indeed fertile, her first child was a son, and a year later she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. The Zhou family regarded her as a treasure. Unfortunately, such a good life did not last long. A flu, the livestock in Zhoujia Village were all killed. Being forcibly disposed of by the government, the Zhou family's cows were naturally not spared. Although the government gave subsidies, but what is that money enough, the Zhou family collapsed all of a sudden.

At that time, the family planning was still very strict, and the Zhou family had established a good relationship for the birth of the second child, but because of the turmoil, the gift of the Zhou family was not delivered in time, which offended some people, and the family planning team came to the door directly A fine, and it happened that someone reported that the Zhou family was still engaged in the old feudal system. Although this is not a crime in the new era, it still has something to do. Women, arrest Sister Cheng's father-in-law and husband.

The Zhou family was emptied out by the fines for stealing life and the money spent on hunting people, and the big house of the Zhou family had avoided far away when the accident happened, and even the children who inherited the incense were not wanted. With three children in the second room of Zhou's family, life is difficult without even thinking about it.

Cheng Xiaoran blamed himself a little. He said that he would bear the obligations and responsibilities of the original owner, but he forgot about this sister. He came back for more than 20 days and didn't go to see it.

He immediately said: "That's a good idea, but I didn't think carefully and forgot my eldest sister. In this way, their Zhou family's life is also difficult. In addition to asking the eldest sister to help, let the brother-in-law also come, and the three little nieces and nieces will also take over. A while." As he spoke, he took out his cell phone, "I remember my brother-in-law's house has a phone."

"Hey, I wrote it down in the notebook, I'll look for it." Cheng's mother hurriedly searched through the cabinet, and Cheng's father said, "It's good if you have this heart, their Zhou family is also farming, and they can't do without people, so they may not come here. "Even though he said that, he didn't stop Cheng Xiaoran.

Cheng Xiaoran said: "Call first and ask about it." But no one answered the phone, and then called Zhoujiacun's canteen, Cheng Xiaoran just said a few words when the phone was answered, and the woman said "Zhou Hao Their families are not available."

Zhou Hao is the name of Zhou's brother-in-law.

Cheng Xiaoran frowned, and no one answered the call again: "Nothing happened, I'd better go there myself."

"What are you going to do?" Cheng's father was anxious, "I'm not in good health and always want to run around. Can you walk the mountain road that takes five or six hours back and forth?"

Cheng Xiaoran smiled and said: "Dad, just drive a car and go around. Who would climb such a long mountain road now that he has some conditions?" In fact, he can also walk the mountain road. This is extremely safe, except that the excessive use of mental strength was a little uncomfortable, it was almost like not being pregnant, the child must be born strong.

"That's not okay. It takes a whole day to drive back and forth, and it's hard work. You sit down for me. Your sister will come back naturally when the relatives are gone during the Chinese New Year. Let's talk about it then."

Cheng Xiaoran disagreed, Cheng's father wouldn't let him go out, so he just asked Cheng Xiaojie to come, but Cheng Xiaojie didn't bring Sister Cheng and his wife over this trip, only a couple of children.

"The brother-in-law of the Zhou family went to help out at the pig farm. It's almost the end of the new year, and it's busy there. The brother-in-law of the Zhou family used to be engaged in farming anyway. Seeing that the salary is not low, he passed. You also know that the uncle of the Zhou family has a bad heart. My aunt suffered another stroke for many years, and my elder sister was counted on to take care of the family. She refused to come over anyway. She originally wanted the three children to come and play for a while, but the eldest did not want to. He said he wanted to help mother with work, so I just wanted to Pick up the dragon and phoenix twins."

Cheng Xiaojie said and pushed the two children: "Hanhan, Xiaoxia, this is your uncle, call someone quickly."

Cheng Xiaoran looked at the two children, they were almost seven years old, they only reached Cheng Xiaoran's waist, they were just over one meter old, they were all thin and yellow, their eyes looked extra big, their clothes looked like they were changed by adults, The shoes didn't fit well, Cheng Xiaoran sighed, this era can be considered to be well developed, outside the city is full of high-rise buildings, but there are still so many poor people, and they are all his relatives and fellow villagers.

He bent down and touched the heads of the two children: "One of you is called Zhou Zihan and the other is Zhou Zixia, right? From now on, you will live here with your uncle and grandparents, and take this place as your own home."

The two children called out "Uncle" timidly, and Cheng Nuannuan, who was waiting anxiously, came up and said, "I am your aunt, come, I will take you to eat delicious food and watch some good cartoons."

In the past, the Cheng family definitely did not have any entertainment activities, but now Cheng Xiaoran will not let the family live in such a difficult situation. Not only have a few more wires been installed at home, the electric lights are used, the heater is bought, the TV is also installed, and snacks are provided. Not a lot, mainly for Cheng Nuannuan, who made her a little girl who didn't grow up.

Cheng Xiaoran turned his head and asked Cheng Xiaojie: "What's the situation at my sister's house, why can't I get through the phone?"

Cheng Xiaojie sighed: "What else can I do? If you owe the money, it will be shut down, but I have given her your mobile phone." The mobile phone was eliminated by Cheng Xiaoran earlier, and the style is very old, but she would not hesitate to give the smart phone to Sister Cheng. Not sure how to use it, Cheng Xiaoran called and answered quickly, "Xiaoer, you really have a heart, the two children won't cause you trouble, I didn't let the children go, Xiaojie insisted You have to hold on to people..."

Sister Cheng's voice is a bit thick, it is the voice of a middle-aged woman who has experienced hard work, but she is only 31 years old this year.

Cheng Xiaoran sighed secretly in his heart: "It won't be troublesome. I am the child's uncle. I used to have no choice but to study outside. Now that I have time and conditions, how can it be troublesome to pick them up for two days? Ask me Said, you should let Yuanyuan come with you, what kind of work does such a small child do?"

Zhou Ziyuan is the name of the eldest nephew.

Sister Cheng was obviously very happy when she heard this: "The child is old and sensible. He said that the family cannot live without people, just like a young adult, and the three of them went there together too much. By the way, I heard Xiaojie say that you The cherries are ready, and they are about to be harvested? I knew that my younger brother is the strongest no matter what he does, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t study. That thing is really valuable. You work hard. Parents have worked hard all their lives. You are enjoying yourself, don’t worry about Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister is very good here, you see what a waste of money you asked Xiaojie to bring so much food and drink.”

"You can use the one I gave it, and it's also my intention. I just heard Xiaojie say, do you have a lot of work at home?"

"Hear what he said so seriously? I'm a bit busy, but every day I just move around in the field and do housework. I originally wanted to go to the pig farm with your brother-in-law, but your brother-in-law refused to let me, saying it was dirty and dirty. Hard work is not what a woman should do."

Sister Cheng's words sounded like complaints, but they had a different kind of sweetness, and Cheng Xiaoran knew that the relationship between their husband and wife was still good.

I heard that if the elder brother-in-law hadn't insisted, it seemed that elder sister Cheng would have been kicked out of the Zhou family. It is rare that after so many years, the two of them are still quite good.He thought about it for a while, the eldest sister's father-in-law is taciturn, and he is quite honest and kind. He likes to call the elder sister a loser and torment her mother-in-law. , even if you are a little poorer, your spirit is at least good.

Thinking of this, he was relieved, and did not insist on letting Sister Cheng come over, but he would not compromise in the coming year.

But Miss Cheng refused to come over, so the cherry picker had to find someone else.

He raised his eyes and said to Cheng Nuannuan, who was poking his head over there, "Say what you have to say, and watch out for dad scolding you again if you have something to say." In addition to changing her hairstyle, she became more confident, and Cheng Nuannuan's naughty and lively nature also came out, she smiled and came over to hold Cheng Xiaoran's arm: "Brother, are you going to hire a girl?"

"Do you have a choice?"

"It's that Liu Juan, who is three years older than me. She worked with me in the hotel. This time I resigned because she helped to explain it. She also offended the manager because she got back half a month's wages for me. Now Getting troubled every day..."

Cheng Xiaoran knew this person, and he sounded good: "Can you be sure about your character?"

"That is required!"

"Let's go with her. Is there anyone else you want to recommend? As long as you are honest, honest, and willing to do things quickly."

Cheng Nuannuan smiled embarrassedly: "Without that, I will have a better relationship with Juanzi."

Cheng Xiaoran stroked her hairy bob head: "After you've been busy for a while, I'll take you to buy materials, review and study before going to university."

Cheng Nuannuan's eyes lit up, but she stuck out her tongue and said, "Let's take a look, our village is getting better, and I may not want to go out. I'll call Juanzi first, she must be very happy."

Cheng Xiaoran shook his head with a smile, put down his silver-rimmed glasses, but there was warmth in his eyes, it's really good to have these family members, he gently put his hands on his lower abdomen, with a look of anticipation in his handsome eyes.

He didn't go back to Dazhou Mountain in the afternoon, so he stayed in Cheng's small courtyard to exchange feelings with his nephew and niece. After a while, the two children who were afraid of restraint were chasing and calling him uncle and uncle.

When the sun was about to set, suddenly there was an uproar at the entrance of the village. He walked out of the yard and looked there. It was the workers who were working the whole way. What happened?

After a while, Zhao Jiafu and Li Jinshi came running over with a few workers, Zhao Jiafu had a look of guilt, and even more anger that he couldn't suppress: "Xiao Ran, I'm really sorry, I promised to be a long-term worker, but now We may not be able to do this for the time being.”

Cheng Xiaoran asked: "What happened?" Everyone was indignant, but it didn't seem like a trivial matter.

"Yesterday there was a strong wind. The sign on the roof of the construction site fell down and killed two passers-by. The boss of the company was afraid of taking responsibility, so he took the money and ran away overnight." Li Jinshi clenched his fists, his eyes were red, "We I'm afraid I won't be able to get back the wages that I worked hard for half a year, and they even arrested the foreman to pay for the crime!"

Cheng Xiaoran heard from them that the foreman is good and takes good care of them. As expected, Zhao Jiafu said: "There are several other shareholders in the company. We want to ask for wages and speak for the foreman. What happened this time has nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, it's because the company insists on putting up a billboard on the roof for publicity, and the foreman persuaded it many times."

Cheng Xiaoran nodded: "Then I'll settle your wages, and I'll let Xiaojie drive you out later."

There were eight people in total, and the small truck could fit even if it was crowded, otherwise it would be dark if we went out on foot. The last bus going down the mountain from Gutao Village was at five o'clock.

The workers even said that Cheng Xiaoran was a good person, but Cheng Xiaoran didn't care. Because he had to pay wages from time to time, he had a lot of cash around him. Everyone here didn't work for a few days, and the salary was less than three or four hundred. Cheng Xiaoran knew that it was not easy for them , I gave each of them two hundred red envelopes, and they were so moved that they kept saying that they would come to work for him in the future.

As soon as this group of people left, the whole village became much quieter. Fortunately, the mountain roads outside were almost tidied up, because the roads were not built with cement—the project was too huge, but it was only leveled in places that were particularly uneven or dangerous, so The progress is still quite fast, enough to support the small truck to run back and forth repeatedly.

In this way, the time when the cherries are ripe finally arrived.
