Chapter 155 Dispute
The two of them walked and talked all the way, but they didn't feel the cold at all.
Along the way, the two people gained a deeper understanding of each other.
However, Song Moting seldom talked about himself, except that he was the second eldest child in the family.
My mother died very young.
He has an eldest sister above him and a younger brother and younger sister below him.
Needless to say, the younger siblings below must have been born to the stepmother her father married later.
When talking about stepmother, seeing the expression on Song Moting's face, there was some disapproval and disdain. Jiang Xiaoxiao could tell with his arms that the relationship between stepmother and stepson was unsolvable.
This is a natural enemy.
But I heard that Song Moting had a good relationship with his grandparents, and it was his grandparents who took care of him.
To put it bluntly, he and his sister grew up in their grandparents' house, while his father and stepmother lived their own lives.
By the time we reached the educated youth point, the sky was already slightly bright.
The educated youths didn't sleep well all night, mainly because after the field director took Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting away yesterday, everyone was muttering in their hearts, who knows what the situation is like over there? Since you are in such a hurry to see a doctor, the situation must be not good.
This New Year's Eve, everyone was a little absent-minded.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others left, there was nowhere for everyone to eat hot pot, so they hurriedly closed the stall.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting walked in, everyone had noticed.
"You two are finally back. Come in, come in and look at the snow all over your body."
He Aiguo hurriedly patted the snow off their bodies.
Jia Shu hurried to the kitchen.
"We all had nothing to do and made some dumplings with cabbage. You are back. Let's get ready and eat dumplings together for the first meal of the new year."
They didn't come back last night. How could everyone sleep so peacefully? They all woke up early after sleeping for a few hours.
Later, Jia Shu suggested that everyone should do something instead of just waiting around here. The longer they waited, the more anxious they became.
So we used their pickled wild boar and cabbage, chopped stuffing, and made some dumplings.
We are preparing to eat together after Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting come back.
As soon as this was wrapped, they came back.
When the steaming dumplings were served, Song Motingjiang finished washing up.
He also told everyone what happened yesterday, and everyone was still frightened when they heard it.
Everyone knows that when a woman gives birth to a child, she is on the verge of death.
Their parents gave birth to their children in the city. There were hospitals in the city. Even if something happened, at least there was a place where they could get help.
Just like this, sometimes if the baby is not born in time, it will easily lead to severe bleeding and life-threatening consequences.
What's more, this is a forest farm.
Who knows, the forest farm doctor is not at the forest farm at all.
If Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn't been there, something might have happened.
The big guys finally felt relieved.
On the first day of the new year, after they finished eating the dumplings, Jiang Xiaoxiao went back to the house and took a long nap.
This is how the new year begins.
It’s a quiet and quiet New Year.
Here, there are no firecrackers, no lights, no feasting.
There is no bustle anymore, the world has been covered by ice and snow.
The only excitement about the New Year at the forest farm is that they will hold a burning fire.
It was also the first time they met.
Although the family background is average, urban children have never seen this.
Forest farm workers built a fire in front of the house.
Wanghuo means prosperous and prosperous.
Use large pieces of pine wood to build a pagoda shape, which is hollow and filled with firewood, which can be lit when lit.
After the prosperous fire barrier is built, the couplets such as "the prosperity is soaring" are affixed on the outside, and the outer cover is covered with colorful paper-cuts, which is called the "prosperous fire shield".
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, burning a fire in front of the main hall means that life is becoming more and more "prosperous".
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others knew the news, but Jiang Xiaoxiao was still worried about Cuihua and the children, so she went to make a special trip with Song Moting and the others.
It's a simple follow-up visit.
Jiang Xiaoxiao also specially brought a basket of eggs. Their five pheasants have now grown into 45 pheasants. There are at least 60 eggs in the sun every day.
There are no more than 20 eggs in this small basket.
Too much would be a burden to others, but 20 eggs is still considered a thoughtful gesture and not a rude gesture.
Song Moting was also specially asked to bring two hens.
This can be regarded as the sentiment of all their educated youths.
This time, it wasn't just the two of them who went together.
Came to Guo Dongjun’s house.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a voice shouting again.
"She is the only one who has been in confinement. Who hasn't been in confinement? In those days when we were in confinement, we still went to work in the fields. It was freezing cold, and every household could hardly eat food. Our family only had two chickens. , you want to kill her now to give it to your daughter-in-law for confinement.
Is there any father-in-law in this world who loves his daughter-in-law as much as you do? Are you still letting your family members live? "
These words are a bit harsh, easy to say but not nice to hear. If outsiders like them hear it, there will be gossip.
"What are you talking about? You are also a woman. You are a mother-in-law. How can you say this from your mouth? You are still my daughter-in-law, Guo Dongjun. Even if you say it, it will make people laugh. Kill the chicken for your daughter-in-law, Make some chicken soup and drink it. It’s not like you don’t know that this grandson didn’t have enough food when he was born.
You want to starve that child to death? Isn’t that your eldest grandson? Who am I talking about for? Is it for myself? "
Guo Dongjun should have slapped the table, and everyone could hear the sound of the table.
"Mom and Dad, stop arguing. I know it's all for my son and wife. I know what mom is thinking. There are only two egg-laying chickens at home. They laid a few eggs, and we finally saved them to exchange for some oil and salt. If we kill them now, we will have nothing. Okay, mom, I understand. I'll go up the mountain to see if I can catch two pheasants after the snow stops in a few days.
Don't argue about this. If you quarrel at home and let outsiders hear it, they will laugh at our family."
This is Guo Dazhuang's voice. It can be heard that Guo Dazhuang is also very embarrassed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The mountain has been closed due to heavy snow. Even if the snow stops, you go up the mountain. Aren't you afraid of something happening? You caught the pheasants on the mountain, and it's good that you didn't feed them to the wolves. His mother, think about it yourself, is your son's life more important, or those two chickens?"
Guo Dongjun was furious.
"Oh my God, this life is unbearable. My son, are you going to yell at your mother to die?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's face darkened.
To put it bluntly, every household has a hard life. How could I forget that life on the farm is not comparable to life in the city.
Here, even if you have a little money, you can't buy anything, not to mention where the people on these farms can earn so much money. The work points of every household are fixed.
After a year of firewood, rice, oil and salt, the family's food rations are eaten up, and there is no money left.
Raising some chickens and pigs, in addition to completing the tasks, the remaining can only subsidize the family a little.
These are the lifeblood of every household.
