The rooster outside had already begun to crow for the second time, and after the third crow, it was about to dawn.Zhang Xiulan looked at the date on the calendar, August 1, 1980, blinked, twisted herself again, and after confirming that it was not a dream, she turned off the light before lying down again.Zhang Xiulan didn't feel sleepy at all, convinced that she was really eighteen years old, not forty-eight, and the calendar on the wall mentioned that all this was true.I woke up hungry in the middle of the night, knowing that I was dead, how could I feel hungry?
When she turned on the light and saw that it was her room in the village, she was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to determine that this was not a dream.The calendar was given to her by Zhao Xinghua, Zhao Xinghua's parents are teachers, Zhao Xinghua took over his father's class after graduating from junior high school, and taught the second grade in the primary school in the town.In this day and age, where can rural people afford to buy calendars, the production team has just been disintegrated, and the contract system for each person has been implemented, and some families still can't afford to eat, let alone calendars that ordinary people in the city can't afford.So when Zhao Xinghua gave her a calendar, she believed how important she was in Zhao Xinghua's heart, but unfortunately it was a big irony.Through the window, Zhang Xiulan could faintly see that although her hands were not very white and tender, they were a thousand times better than her forty-eight-year-old hands that were tired and rough because of working on the construction site.This day in the previous life was the day when Zhao Xinghua and Zhang Zhihong had a ceremony, Zhang Xiulan liked Zhao Xinghua in the same village, this is something that everyone in the village knows, the two are like each other, but in the end, Zhao Xinghua married Zhang Xiulan's cousin Zhang Zhihong.Looking back now, how could the Zhao family get rid of the relationship at the beginning of that tragic life.After the rooster crowed for the third time, it was already dawn, and she heard a faint sound in the yard, knowing that it was the parents in the east room who got up, Zhang Xiulan also looked at her room, the same as in her memory.The kang mat made by the reeds, since she remembered, there was this kang mat, the place where the kang head has been ground out of a hole, and the hole was put on the quilt with a cyan cloth, in fact, not only that piece was made, this one can sleep four people on the kang, has been made up in four or five places, and you know what life at home is like.There is a big red cabinet on the top of the kang, on which are the quilts and mattresses that she covers on weekdays, and the cabinet is filled with Zhang Xiulan's clothes, which are in it all year round, but it is also half filled, and it is not full at all.The north wall on the opposite side of the kang is blocked with the food that the family eats for a year, and it is only two generations of bud rice ballast and half a bag of millet, looking up, there is also a bunch of dried chili peppers, hanging from the beam of the house, the house has no hanging shed at all, you can know how cold it will be in winter.Although she had a very hard life in her previous life, she was better off than the day in front of her, but it didn't make Zhang Xiulan feel happy, and she couldn't help but be happy when she saw everything familiar and unfamiliar in front of her."
Lanzi hasn't eaten for two days, let's steam two chicken cakes for her."
Zhang Tiesheng's voice came from the back room, and he could tell that he was talking in a suppressed voice.The Zhang family lives in two earthen houses, the middle is the door, and there are two cauldrons on the left and right as soon as they come in, which are used for cooking on weekdays, which can be regarded as kitchens, and the left and right rooms are inhabited, Zhang Tiesheng and his wife live in the east house, Zhang Xiulan's sister is married, and now only Zhang Xiulan lives in the west house.The three children of the Zhang family, the eldest daughter is married, the second is a son, and he is also married, and he is single when he gets married, Zhang Xiulan is the youngest, and he talked to Zhao Xinghua in the village when he was in junior high school, and the people in the village thought that the two would get married after graduating from junior high school, but as soon as he graduated from junior high school, it was rumored that Zhao Xinghua and the village chief's daughter Zhang Zhihong had a ceremony, which made the village people surprised and sympathized.Zhang Xiulan found out that she went to Zhao Xinghua to make a fuss, and after returning home, she hid in her house and cried for a long time, and did not come out to eat for two days, and after waking up in the middle of the night, she was replaced by Zhang Xiulan, who was reborn."
She can't even keep her own man, she still has the face to eat?
Now eggs cost eight cents a piece, two eggs can still be sold for a dime and six cents, and she is blind to eat, such a shameful girl, it is better to die, waste my eggs in vain. ”Lin Huiping's scathing voice was sharp, and the ears of the piercing people were itchy, "Yuejin's daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, now is the time to need nutrition, but what she is pregnant with is your grandson, your grandson doesn't hurt, it hurts to marry in the future, I don't know what you think."
Besides, you don't know what the situation of our family is, just two old hens, and the two chickens don't lay eggs every day, and I want to use the eggs saved for Yuejin's daughter-in-law for confinement. ”"Yuejin's daughter-in-law just has a body, where can I use it, you make two eggs for Lanzi."
Zhang Tiesheng squatted at the mouth of the stove and lit the fire, "This matter is not done by the Zhao family, where is it to blame our family's Lanzi, this child is already bitter enough, don't scold her anymore." ”"She's bitter?
So what do I say when I am laughed at by the people in the village?
This dead girl, I also followed her in the village to embarrass people, you don't know how the old lady of Tiansheng's family laughed at me when I went out yesterday, no matter how thick-skinned I was, I was embarrassed to go out.She is still there to die or live, to whom will she be seen?
If you really have that ability, go to the Zhao family envoy, and Zhao Xinghua can't see it in his own family. ”Lin Huiping has a pungent temperament, and is patriarchal, with three children in the family, she only likes her second son."
You don't steam the chicken cake, just boil an egg."
Zhang Tie was soft and begged in a low voice.Lin Huiping is in charge of the family, and he has no status at all.Lin Huiping snorted coldly, "Don't say one, I won't let her stick to it at all, this dead girl has been lying in the house for two days, she doesn't do any work, she still wants to eat, and there is no door." ”After saying this, Lin Huiping was still angry, Lin Huiping simply scolded Westinghouse, "Dead girl, don't think that you can hide from the house by pretending to be dumb in the house and not working, men can't keep it and want to be lazy, do you think you are a daughter?"
Get up immediately and clean up with me, other people's potatoes are about to be harvested, and you still want to hide in the house and eat good, and don't see if you have that life. ”"You keep quiet, Lanzi is already uncomfortable, what are you forcing her to do like this?
Isn't that all there is to it?
I'll do it myself. ”Zhang Tiesheng was sweating anxiously, and he was afraid that his wife would scold him again, "Okay, okay, if you don't get it, you won't get it, since the child is uncomfortable, don't let her go to the ground first, I'll call Yuejin for a while, he stays all day, just do some work, save being laughed at and lazy." ”"You don't pull on Yuejin, his daughter-in-law has a body, where can you get away from people, you think of Yuejin when you have a little life, why don't you want to Yuejin when it's delicious?"
Lin Huiping was immediately unhappy, "Don't talk about other people's families, at least you can let your son eat enough, look at our family, how many times have you eaten fine grains over the years?"
Serious people don't want to marry a girl into our family, if his daughter-in-law is not a girl in the family, we can't marry a daughter-in-law today.If you care about the life or death of that dead girl, you might as well think about how to make the family have enough to eat.It was divided into two acres of land, and the wheat planted on three acres of land produced less than 500 catties, sold for 400 catties, and left more than 100 catties for his own family, and he could grind less than 100 catties of noodles, so many mouths waiting to eat, how many meals can he eat?
Besides, don't you have relatives at home?
Let's see who lives as hard as our family, right?
When your father died, the debt was 1,200 yuan, and the interest was 15 cents a year, which could not be repaid, and the annual interest was 180 yuan.In such a home, you still think about the girl who is going to die or live, I really don't know what you think. ”Lin Huiping's words made Zhang Tiesheng's head unable to lift up, and if he was replaced by any man, he was accused of saying that he couldn't support his family, and he didn't have the face to see people.Lin Huiping couldn't help but twist her head in annoyance when she saw the wretched appearance of her man, she was raised by her brother since she was a child, if she had a father and a mother, how could she marry such a poor man, only blame her own bad life, but fortunately, this man is honest and listens to her everything, which makes her heart more parallel.For mobile phone users, please go to read.
