Song Guifang's biological father had always favored boys over girls, and her stepmother always liked to suppress her verbally. Ever since she lost her job and returned to her parents' home, her stepmother would say some unpleasant words every day.
If it were her biological mother, would her biological mother say that she was misbehaving? Would she also blame other people's mistakes on her?
Song Zhikun had always disliked his stepmother because she was not a good person. He went to serve as a soldier. When his sister was not married and had a job, she could not even eat enough at home. His father was a patriarchal man, so it seemed that he did not have such a problem.
My daughter, I don’t care what she is like.
When the family was unhappy, Zhang Ling, the fuse of the matter, jumped out and said, "Uncle, aunt, don't get angry. It's the Zhu family who are too bad. It has nothing to do with Sister Guifang."
"Brother Song, if you have doubts, go to Zhu's house and ask. I have never done anything. I am not afraid of shadows, and I am not afraid of others slandering me. Let's wait until you find out about our affairs.
"
Zhang Ling took retreat as a step forward, and her stepmother quit, "No more talk! Zhikun is already a big boss. We, the adults, are in charge of your affairs. When he comes back from the city during the Chinese New Year holiday, we will take care of things for you two."
Of course, the stepmother was not doing Song Zhikun's best interests. Song Zhikun didn't want to see her, and she knew it.
Although he doesn't want to see her, in the past, the allowances were sent home to his father. Even if he works in the future, he still has to pay his salary back to his family. Zhang Ling's family is from the commune, and the conditions are not bad. Her family will also be able to benefit from it in the future.
Song Zhikun didn't speak for a while. He was now wondering whether Zhang Ling was involved in his sister's matter, but he was sure that he was probably involved, otherwise Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu would not have said that. The Zhu family must have
If it was really Zhang Ling who did it, he wouldn't want this girl anymore.
But he never imagined how hard Zhang Ling would go to marry him! She would stalk him, cry, make trouble, and hang herself.
After looking at a few people, Song Zhikun said: "I will go to the advance brigade to ask now."
Zhang Ling became more and more calm.
She is not afraid that he will ask, but she is afraid that he will not ask. If he does not ask, she will always have doubts in her heart that she has not tried her best. Furthermore, even if he asks anything, she has no intention of letting go of such a good marriage partner.
Marriage partner, I can definitely help her!
The members of the brigade have been idle recently, and today they are selling pigs with great fanfare.
Many people lamented that their pigs were not collected because they did not meet the weight limit and had to be fed for another year. People who received a sum of money from their pigs were smiling from ear to ear.
The money from selling pigs is the most important income for the members throughout the year.
Zhang Tiezhu has been back to the village for many days. When he walked in the village and heard everyone's heated remarks, no one paid any attention to him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing his careless behavior, everyone felt that this guy was hopeless.
If you have no wife and no children, and you still have some money to play cards, you are destined to have no future prospects.
"Brother Gen, we sold pigs today. How much did they cost?"
Zhang Tiezhu looked at Brother Gen so happy and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Brother Gen always smiled when talking to others. When he saw Zhang Tiezhu in the blink of an eye, he squinted in disgust and said, "It's none of your business how much you sell. You don't do anything about football every day. The shoes on your feet are still exposed.
Look at your face, do you look like a human being?"
After Brother Gen finished speaking, Zhang Tiezhu stood up and left.
Other villagers looked at him with disdain and then went home in twos and threes.
Zhang Tiezhu looked down at his shoes with toes still exposed, and when he looked up again, he was still cursing in a low voice.
His toes were numb from the cold, and he had chilblains. When he went to bed at night, it was so itchy that it would bleed when he scratched it.
But what can he do? He has no money or tickets to buy shoes, and he has no mother-in-law to make shoes for him.
Not only did he have no shoes to wear, the old coat he wore was also in tatters, and the old quilt at home couldn't keep him warm at all.
On this cold day, it was as cold inside the house as outside, but he couldn't feel it anymore.
What does he want to live for?
He couldn't marry his mother-in-law, and when he returned home, he felt cold and had no food to eat. People in the village didn't want to see him, and all their eyes were turned to the sky. He knew that they all looked down on him.
But I haven’t returned to the village for three months, so why is it so different in the village? Chen Xiuyun has a son, and her natal nephew has moved to the countryside and lived there, so what’s the deal with Zhang Tiezhu?
When Zhang Tiezhu was confused, he briefly thought about a philosophical question: Why do others live in this life?
Without a wife or children, what on earth is he living for? Being alone is quite comfortable, but sometimes he feels unhappy.
Passing by the consignment point in the village, I saw Li Danier, a famous silly girl in the village, coming out with soy sauce. She smiled silly at him when she saw him.
Zhang Tiezhu also laughed, "Dannier is here to make soy sauce?"
Li Dani spoke awkwardly and was not very clear-headed. She nodded randomly, grinned stupidly, and shook the soy sauce bottle in her hand. A lot of soy sauce immediately spilled out of the bottle.
After Li Dani left, Zhang Tiezhu cursed: "Idiot."
Jiang Xinyu returned home, Xiaochuan and Chen Zhengyu were rubbing mung bean skins in the back room, and Chen Xiuyun was talking to the neighbors at the entrance of the courtyard, which was considered a break.
There is a roasted sweet potato in the brazier, which can be heated when you hold it in your hand. Jiang Xinyu threw the sweet potato back and forth with both hands, blowing on it.
"You two are quite capable now."
Chen Zhengyu chuckled and said, "Third aunt said, I'll give you fifty cents for a day's work."
Xiaochuan was also happy: "It's just a dime! But my mother said that she would save all the money for me and make me a schoolbag with fabric."
Since the two of them moved in, they haven't said a word about the family business. They have now gained the trust of Comrade Chen Xiuyun. In order to improve productivity, Chen Xiuyun let the two of them work.
The people outside the courtyard left, and Chen Xiuyun entered the house and said: "Li Lei is getting married the day after tomorrow, and the captain's house is going to kill a pig before dawn tomorrow. You guys have to work hard, and I'll see if I can buy ten kilograms of meat back tomorrow."
As soon as he said this, Chen Zhengyu became excited. These days, everyone doesn't like to eat meat!
"Ten kilograms is not enough. Ten kilograms of meat that is free of charge is not enough! I still have the money my mother gave me in my hand. I will give you another twenty kilograms!"
Chen Xiuyun said helplessly: "You think I don't want to buy more? How many kilograms of meat does that pig have? They kill pigs for the wedding. They need the meat for the banquet the day after tomorrow. They have to leave a lot for the bride's family. The rest of the meat will be used by the villagers."
If I buy ten kilograms of it, I don’t even know if it’s enough.”
"After you buy the meat, when you go to the county to study in a few days, you can bring some to your sister."
Jiang Xinyu nodded in agreement, and after finishing the sweet potatoes, she started busy making pastries.
The captain's house had a pig slaughter before dawn the next day. Chen Xiuyun also got up early and carried a basin to collect less than half of the pig's blood.
The pig only weighed about a hundred kilograms. The person who wanted to buy the meat had some financial strength, and the remaining meat was really not enough. Chen Xiuyun bought a little more than seven kilograms of meat, and took more than three kilograms of pigs into the water.
and a pig's pancreas.
After you buy the meat, you have to put it away and eat it slowly until the village kills the pigs and divides the pork. You also have to bring some to Jiang Zhenzhen, so you have to plan to eat it slowly.
On Li Lei's wedding day, the bride arrived on a tractor. She wore red clothes and painted a red face.
The tractor pulled her back from the county and circled the village several times. The little wives in the team were so envious.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't imagine that if it were her sitting on the tractor, would she have to die on the spot?
Chapter completed!
