Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Liu family

Bai Xiaohua sat on the edge of the bed with a gloomy expression, the trousers she was mending in her hand seemed to have offended her, the eyes were all pricked by needles.

Ever since she married into Liu Dazhu's family, Bai Xiaohua has never had a smooth day.

She originally thought that she could endure hardships, thinking that this era was difficult, but she could bear it for the sake of a prosperous life in the future, but now her heart was shaken.

After wearing a book, Bai Xiaohua lived in the family building. Her room was so small that she could only fit a bed. She blamed her parents for being biased and her family conditions were too poor. She only drank porridge and pickles every day, which made her face malnourished. All yellow.

At that time, she thought that no matter how bad the day was, it would be like this.

But when she married into Shanghe Village, Bai Xiaohua knew that life could be even worse.

There are few people working in the Liu family, and many people eating, and in addition to money for marrying a wife, the place is poor inside and out.

On the day she first entered the house, Bai Xiaohua also ate a meal of meat, which was the wild pork that the Liu family had distributed before, who knew that it would be the last meal.

After that, it was either sweet potato porridge or wild vegetable porridge every day. It contained a lot of miscellaneous grains and little rice, and the clear soup with little water could only be swallowed by pickles.

She drank an extra bowl, and Widow Liu still felt distressed, urging her to go to work to make money all day long.

Bai Xiaohua felt vaguely regretful in her heart, if she had known this, she should have waited, and it would be fine to remarry after a few years of engagement!

Left and right are engaged, so it's impossible for Liu Dazhu and Sun Shumei to be married.

But it’s too late to regret now——

Bai Xiaohua was extremely annoyed, she turned around and found the glass bead that had not moved, and tried again.

Ten of them were pierced with fingers, but the glass beads were still glass beads.

With a snap, Bai Xiaohua threw the bead viciously.

"Even you bully me, why can Sun Shumei but I can't!"

If she had the same ability as Sun Shumei, it would be more difficult, at least eating would not be a problem.

Bai Xiaohua was so angry that she pulled out the needle all over her body, and stabbed at the quilt for a while, and didn't stop until her piercing hands were sore.

Picking up the glass beads with a cold face, Bai Xiaohua was too lazy to try again, and stuffed it under the pillow.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Bai Xiaohua scolded impatiently: "Are they all dead, don't you know how to open the door?"

She could put on a show at first, but she didn't have enough food and clothing for days, her life was not as good as when she was not married, and her temper also came up.

Liu Aihua, who was busy next door, flinched when she heard this, and hurried out to open the door.

She lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable. She thought that her eldest brother married a good sister-in-law and his temper would be better, but who knew that this was marrying a tigress.

When her eldest brother was around, Bai Xiaohua would put on a little bit of pretense, but when her eldest brother wasn't around, Bai Xiaohua treated them like servants.

Liu Aihua felt wronged in her heart, she didn't understand why Bai Xiaohua changed so much before and after.

How did the little girl know that Bai Xiaohua was someone who had read the books, and she came here with all her heart and soul. In her eyes, only Liu Dazhu was valuable among the four members of the Liu family. As for the others, the book said the relationship between Liu Dazhu and them neither cold nor hot.

Bai Xiaohua didn't bother to attack people who couldn't influence Liu Dazhu.

Liu Aihua opened the door, but didn't see anyone.

She poked her head out to look, only to see a letter on the steps of the house.

Liu Aihua walked home with the letter: "Sister-in-law, there is no one outside the door, but there is a letter."

"A letter?" Bai Xiaohua frowned, "Bring it to me to have a look."

Liu Aihua didn't go to school, didn't know how to read, and didn't know what was written on it, so she obediently handed the letter to her.

Bai Xiaohua took a look - Liu Dazhu took it.

Who will write to Liu Dazhu?

Bai Xiaohua frowned, and opened her mouth directly, she paused: "It's for me, you go out first, I need to read the letter."

Liu Aihua let out an oh and went out.

Only then did Bai Xiaohua pull out the letter paper, but just looking at it, her whole face twisted, only to see that the first sentence on the letter was: Dear Da Zhu...

Bai Xiaohua trembled and continued to look down. The more she looked, the angrier she became, and her eyes turned black with anger.

"I already guessed that you two had an affair!" Bai Xiaohua said viciously.

If Du Pingping was still in the Shanghe Village production team at this moment, Bai Xiaohua would rush out immediately, grab the girl by the hair and beat her hard, and make her parade in straw sandals.

But Du Pingping has already left, and now there is a quarrel, except for making Liu Dazhu hate her, she can't get any benefits.

Bai Xiaohua was also patient, she tore up the letter in twos and twos, went out, stuffed it into the stove and set it on fire.

Liu Aihua was taken aback by her actions, and looked at her new sister-in-law tremblingly.

"What are you looking at, you lose money." Bai Xiaohua cursed.

Liu Aihua clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to start a fight with her, because after Bai Xiaohua came in, she had a good relationship with her eldest brother, and even her mother-in-law dared to confront her directly.

Bai Xiaohua snorted coldly, turned around and walked out, before leaving, she left a sentence: "Take out the quilt in our room to dry in the sun, I don't have any vision at all, do you want to freeze me to death this day?"

Liu Aihua had no choice but to go in and take out the quilt to dry.

Bai Xiaohua was still not satisfied after seeing it, she sneered and said, "If you are asked to dry the quilt, you only dry the quilt, I don't know how to dry the sheets and pillows together."

"It's really an abacus bead, move it a little bit, what's the use of raising you?"

After finishing speaking, she walked out angrily. She had to find Liu Dazhu and follow him all the time so that he would not be hooked up by other women in the village.

Liu Aihua had to enter the door again, at this time Liu Xiaozhu ran over to help: "Second sister, I will help you."

Liu Aihua sniffed, and the two carried the pillows and sheets to the yard and hung them on the bamboo poles.

The two children didn't notice that a glass bead rolled down from the quilt and rolled to the corner of the yard before stopping.

Liu Xiaozhu couldn't help muttering: "Sister, sister-in-law is not good, she always orders you."

Liu Aihua said helplessly: "Whoever makes her a sister-in-law, my mother will only let me bear it when she sees her."

"Mom is right. We are young, and we still have to rely on our elder brother and sister-in-law to eat. Usually, we can endure these trivial matters. At least she didn't beat me and prevent me from eating at the table."

"It would be great if I grew up earlier. When I grow up, I can support you and mom. We live by ourselves instead of living with elder brother." Liu Xiaozhu said.

Liu Xiaozhu drooped his head, he had no status in the family, even worse than Liu Aihua, he was of no use except to help his sister fight the injustice.

"Xiaozhu is so good, my sister is waiting for you to grow up."

Like a little adult, Liu Aihua patted her younger brother's head: "Forget it, she just ordered me to do some small things, anyway, I was doing these things."

"While they are not at home, you can go and play for a while, or you will be cursing again when they come back."

As soon as Liu Xiaozhu heard it, he really started playing in the yard. When his eldest brother and sister-in-law were not at home, it was a rare time for him to relax.

Suddenly, Liu Xiaozhu saw something shining with colorful lights in the corner of the wall. He ran over to have a look, and picked up a glass bead from the grass.

How could there be marbles here? Liu Xiaozhu suspected that they were thrown away by the guests who held a banquet some time ago.

Liu Xiaozhu looked at the sun, and he liked it very much from the bottom of his heart. He never had his own marbles since he was a child.

"Sister, I'll go out and play for a while." Liu Xiaozhu shouted, and ran outside. Now that he has marbles, the children in the village would definitely be happy to take him to play with him.

Liu Aihua didn't know what he took away, so she just told him to come back early so that her elder brother wouldn't catch her.

Bai Xiaohua didn't know anything about what happened behind her. As she walked, she cursed Du Pingping [-] times in her heart. Only after she finished cursing did she realize that Du Pingping was no longer a threat to her, and there was no way for her to come back except to write a few letters.

Du Pingping is gone, but there are other girls in the village, who knows if Liu Dazhu will fall in love with others.

"Why!" Walking halfway, Bai Xiaohua became angry and jealous.

After Sun Shumei got married, she was friendly with her mother-in-law, her sister-in-law and uncle treated her like a sister, and Liu Dazhu was even more obedient to her.

But what about her?Don't mention the dowry gift, Widow Liu is holding her face all day long, as if someone owes her, the two little ones don't have enough to eat, and they don't know what to do, and they always look at her with strange eyes, not at all. intimate.

What's worse is that Liu Dazhu treats her like that, warm is warm, but there is a hundred pages away from the obedience and obedience in the book.

Shocked by this letter today, Bai Xiaohua's insecurities burst out. She secretly scolded herself for being too stupid.

Whether the old Gu's family cares about her life or death, she has to deal with her own man first, and it is better to get pregnant early, and she will have two children in three years. She doesn't believe that she can't hold Liu Dazhu's heart after giving birth to a son.

Just when Bai Xiaohua was gearing up to tie up Liu Dazhu tightly, a heavy snow fell, painting Shanghe Village with a layer of white.

The weather turned cold all of a sudden, and everyone didn't like to go out. This weather can't be stopped without a thick cotton coat.

After the mission pigs were handed in this year, the production team had no extra pigs to kill. Fortunately, the wild boars were hunted earlier, and those who live a little more meticulously will keep them for the New Year.

Although there is a shortage of supplies, Chinese New Year is still a big event. You can do whatever you want in normal times. During the holidays, everyone tries their best to get some delicious food and drink to enjoy themselves.

The same is true for the old Gu's family. Early in the morning, Gu Simei dragged her elder sister to get busy, cleaning the house, and preparing snacks for the New Year.

Gu Mingdong doesn't have many memories of the New Year, he only remembers that the taste of the New Year will disappear after many years.

Seeing the younger sisters rushing in and out at the moment made me a bit more interested.

Especially on the day of New Year's Eve, when the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up at noon, the kitchen of Lao Gu's family became busy. One by one, all six people were helping in the kitchen.

Gu Mingdong is still the chef, with Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei helping each other, while Gu Erdi is in charge of watching the children and tasting.

A year ago, the old Gu's family had a poor year. At that time, Li Lijuan was dying of illness, and sold all that could be sold in the family. The only rice cakes were brought by Gu Xiuxiu when she returned to her mother's house.

A year later, the old Gu's family didn't worry about it. There was a lot of pork allotted a year ago, and Gu Mingdong kept the granary in secret. There was less wild meat, but it was all meat.

Gu Simei is very handy. After the small vegetable patch in the backyard grew up, she cleaned it up clearly. The small earthen pots with pickled vegetables in the house filled the corners of the walls.

I even dried the dried radish by myself, which tastes really good, and it can be used as a meal or as a snack.

Plus the white sugar, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the snacks sent by Secretary Wang.

Across the door, the smell from the old Gu's house also spread far away, making the next door miserable, and the Liu's house, which only pretended to be a piece of bacon, was not at peace.

Gu Mingdong didn't care what others thought, he tried his best this day.

Braised wild pork, stewed meat with pickled vegetables, boiled chicken, fried vegetables, fried radish, dried bamboo shoots and wild duck soup... In addition, I also made four dry dishes, which contained melon seeds, peanuts, biscuits and snacks, which Gu Simei hid In the end, he took out all three pot helmets.

In addition, there are a few big oranges in the most conspicuous place, which are the "stocks" that Gu Mingdong brought back from the mountain.

Cooking is expensive, not to mention snacks, candies and fruits. Seeing Gu Mingdong's generous spending makes Gu Simei feel distressed, but the New Year's Eve dinner has to be sumptuous, so she can only accept it.

When cooking, the twins were reluctant to leave the kitchen, so they wandered around the boiler, hoping that a piece of meat would fall from their father's hand, so that they could taste it first.

When the sun was setting, the old Gu's family had already filled the Eight Immortals table to the brim.

The meal was enjoyable, and the twins even danced and danced. Their eyes and mouths were not enough.

There are a lot of dishes, but the appetite of the family is big enough. Except for the "more than every year" specially prepared by Gu Simei, everything else is eaten clean, and even the oil star at the bottom of the bowl is eaten by Gu Erdi's bibimbap. clean.

"Comfortable." Second Brother Gu sat open on the chair and patted his belly.

At this time, Gu Mingdong took out the prepared New Year's money from his pocket: "Everyone, come here and share the New Year's money."

The second brother Gu stood up, and then said embarrassedly: "Brother, I have it too?"

Gu Mingdong smiled and said: "If you are not an adult, you are a child, of course you have all."

Gu Mingdong didn't prepare much money, a few big fifty cents, which is already a huge sum of money for new year's money these days.Two small dime, enough for them to go to the supply and marketing agency to exchange for ten fruit candies, the unpackaged ones.

The younger ones flushed with excitement, and carefully put away the money.

Gu Mingdong looked funny, and secretly thought that with the work points of Gu's second brother and Gu Sanmei, he could earn more than the fifty cents a year.

Now I am very happy when I get fifty cents, and it is easy to be satisfied.

"You all have to go to school when the new year starts, and then work hard in school, and I will give you rewards after you get [-] points." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Mentioning this, Gu Erdi suddenly had a bitter face: "Then I must not be able to play, not brother, do I have to go to school together?"

Gu Mingdong glared at him: "At least you have to get your junior high school diploma."

When he gets his diploma, the school still doesn't know if he can study.

"OK then."

After the New Year's money was distributed, several people felt very happy, and they watched the New Year around the stove while eating orange snacks.

Smiles filled their still immature faces, and the old Gu's family no longer had the lifelessness of the past, but was filled with the vitality of young people.

Gu Mingdong held his chin and looked at the children in the flickering flames. After raising them for a year, they seemed to have gained weight and become more energetic.

He is also worthy of the original owner.

When the twins couldn't stand it any longer, Gu Mingdong drove them to sleep.

Getting into the warm bed, Gu Mingdong always felt that after eating and drinking, he seemed to forget something important.

Suddenly, he remembered that tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and by the second day of the Lunar New Year, my aunt would have to go back to her natal home.

Gu Xiuxiu didn't know about Li Lijuan's death yet.

Gu Mingdong looked at the dark night and suddenly felt a headache.
