Today he was like an angry lion, with his eyes wide open and his hair blowing up.
Holding a wooden stick as thick as an egg in his hand, he was sternly lecturing his children: the eldest daughter Rongrong, and the younger son Stinky.
The second daughter Gai Gai and the third daughter Gai Rong of Lao Li's family were trembling with fear and hiding on the edge of the yard, ready to escape at any time...
"Tell me! How many pieces did you steal?"
Lao Li hit his eldest daughter on the back with a stick.
Then he asked her fiercely and sternly, "Greedy, are you so greedy? How many people in my old Li family have ever had dirty hands and feet? Shame on you, why did you raise a person like you just for free?"
, a woman who doesn’t live up to expectations?”
This daughter of Lao Li's family is quite stubborn.
Her eyes were full of tears, and her back was hit hard with a stick by her father.
But little girl Rongrong's lips were pursed tightly, resisting the huge pain.
Not a word!
He neither admits his mistake nor begs for mercy...
"Dad, don't hit my sister. She's greedy and asked her to give me mutton..."
The youngest son of Lao Li's family ran over, trembling all over.
He stretched out his hand to hold Lao Li's hand and begged, "Dad, please stop hitting my eldest sister...I, I don't dare to do it anymore."
Lao Li roared angrily, "Don't you dare? I think you are very brave! If I don't give you a good meal and give you some memory, I think you will go to heaven!"
As he said that, Lao Li raised his leg and kicked his precious son sideways!
"Plop——" a sound!
Lao Li Tou's youngest son screamed "Wow" and flew backwards for more than 2 meters. He fell down in the yard with a "thud!"
Although the ground in Lao Li's yard is not hardened, it is entirely made of compacted loess.
But the winter in Saibei is cold, and the earth has been frozen solid.
This kind of floor is not much harder than cement floor...
How could Lao Li's 6-year-old son be able to withstand such a kick from Lao Li?!
With a sound of "Wow--", Lao Li's youngest son lay on the ground crying with bleeding lips.
"What are you doing?"
Lao Li's mother-in-law Ji turned around, dropped the small broom she was using to clean the kang, and suddenly threw herself on her son, "It's not serious for you to hit someone? If it's broken, let's see how you deal with it!"
Old Li gritted his teeth angrily, "I'll beg you to death! Anyway, his hands and feet are not clean, and when he meets the clan members of Old Li's family in the future, he will be very embarrassed!"
I saw my baby bump being beaten so badly by my own man that her lip was broken.
Ji Zhuanzhuan was so distressed that she burst into tears.
Reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of her son's mouth, Ji Zhuan turned around and scolded her eldest daughter, "You damn girl! You stole it, can't you admit it openly?"
Why do you want your brother to take the beating for you? How old is he and how old are you? Well, you woman, how can you be so heartless?"
The eldest daughter still bit her lip and said nothing.
"Peng——"
Lao Li whipped out his stick and hit the little girl Rongrong staggering!
However, she still held up her stubborn little head and stared at the sky angrily.
Still silent...
This silent resistance and stubbornness made Lao Li even more angry!
I saw him raising his stick high and about to hit it...
"what you do?!"
Zhang Xiaoli ran out of the cave angrily and stepped forward to protect the little girl Rongrong, "Don't hit anyone!"
"She steals!"
Lao Li's chest rose and fell sharply with anger, "Well, if we don't take care of her properly, I don't know who she will become in the future!
If he is taken in by the public for education, my old Li family cannot afford to lose that person!"
Zhang Xiaoli angrily scolded him, "When a child makes a mistake, just talk to her and let her correct it. No matter what, you can't hit someone! Do you know that hitting someone is illegal?"
Lao Li was not convinced, "Well, what kind of law is it breaking if you hit your own child?
Comrade Zhang, just leave it alone. I must teach her a lesson today so that this dead woman will never forget her!"
"no!"
Zhang Xiaoli did not give in, "There is no one in the world who beats children like you! I think you are preparing to beat them to death? Throw the stick away quickly, don't hit anyone!"
Lao Li was out of breath, "I don't know if anyone in the world educates their children like this. But I know: Who in our village doesn't educate their children like me?"
I encountered a stubborn donkey like Lao Li.
Zhang Xiaoli was also helpless, "Captain Dou! The members of the production team treat women and children roughly! Do you care or not?"
In the cave dwelling,
Dou Jiande sighed slightly, "How can we get rid of it? This is a family matter... In Saibei, couples fight at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed. Others really can't get involved."
"Is there anything we can't mix in?"
Peng Yong, who was lying on the kang, suddenly started to do something. "As a cadre of a production team, why can't I take control when my own members treat women and children roughly?"
Said,
Peng Yong quickly put on his clothes and was ready to rush out and give Lao Li a good beating!
At this moment!
I could only hear Accountant Li scolding me from the yard outside the house, "Old Li! You've become more capable. I didn't expect to see you go out to fidget, but when I get home, you are so awesome..."
"Put the stick away for you!"
Accountant Li's voice was very stern, "If you had hurt Comrade Zhang even a hair, believe it or not... I would be able to deal with you now?"
Lao Li is not afraid of his wife, his children, or even his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But he is really afraid of the cadres in the production team...
Especially the one in front of me, Accountant Li, who has always been known for his ruthless tactics in the village.
"Bang bang", Lao Li dropped the stick.
Accountant Li patted the little girl Rongrong lovingly, "Is it okay?"
Rongrong shed tears and shook his head.
"That's good. Do you have any crushed tea foam at home?"
Accountant Li patted the little girl Rongrong and said, "Go, go into the house and boil some water, and make a pot of tea for your uncle."
The little girl still didn't say anything, but she obediently went into the house to boil water.
"Lao Li, you are very capable."
Accountant Li waited until the little girl, Old Li's mother-in-law, and children had entered the house.
Then he glared at Lao Li and scolded him, "Since you are so capable, you can be ruthless enough.
In a few days, it will be our production team’s turn to go to the county supply and marketing cooperative’s food station to pick up manure. Lao Li, since you are so good, I will let you take the lead when the time comes. Go and grab the manure for me!”
Lao Li was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, "Well, how can I do that? When I quarrel with others, I can't even speak smoothly, so how can I dare to lead others to fight with others?"
Accountant Li snorted coldly, "Hey, you still know that you have nothing to ask for? Then why did you hit your own woman so hard just now?"
"She stole the mutton and ate it."
Old Li Tou explained, "If you say it's the Chinese New Year at home, a few kilograms of mutton are stewed. The children are greedy, so they can eat a piece of it. That's fine."
"But the mutton stew she caught is the collective property of the production team."
Lao Li's anger surged: "Captain Dou brought that over for the educated youths to eat! I, a woman, can do no harm.
The shame has been thrown in front of Comrade Zhang, Comrade Luo and the others! I don’t want to give her a good beating... is that okay?"
Listen to what Old Li Tou said.
Only then did Zhang Xiaoli understand:
Early this morning, why did Lao Litou beat the children at home, and they were all jumping up and down...
"Just eat it."
Zhang Xiaoli disagreed, "Don't say that your children are hungry for mutton stew. Even I, who don't eat much meat, think the mutton in Saibei is really delicious."
"Children are greedy, so it's normal to eat a few pieces."
Zhang Xiaoli glared at Old Li and said, "Uncle Li, when I first met you, I thought you were very reasonable and very humble.
I didn’t expect you to be such a chicken-bellied person? We won’t eat that pot of mutton. Let’s give it all to little Rongrong and their brothers and sisters.”
"Ha said."
Old Li Tou didn't appreciate it, "That's what the production team uses to entertain you educated youths. How can we be qualified to eat it?"
Isn’t that embezzling collective property and taking advantage of the public?”
Lao Li was very unconvinced, "Besides, Comrade Zhang, you are good, but you are a woman after all!
What should we do with this pot of mutton? Comrade Luo Xuan and others have to make the decision on this matter."
He despises women so shamelessly?!
Zhang Xiaoli couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Comrade Li, how could you do this? Don't talk about a pot of mutton! Even if it's a group of sheep, I can be the master."
Lao Li did not dare to quarrel with Zhang Xiaoli openly.
But he was probably... very unconvinced!
Moreover, Lao Litou was very opposed to Zhang Xiaoli, a woman, who dared to make independent decisions and overstep her authority.
This way of making decisions for Luo Xuan.
"My mother-in-law and a woman are in charge of the house, but the house collapsed."
Lao Li muttered in a low voice, "For generations, our ancestors have never had the rule of letting the mother-in-law be the head of the house!"
Zhang Xiaoli was furious, "You!
In Bashu, most of the households are headed by women! I haven’t seen anyone’s house collapse. Ignorance, feudalism! It pisses me off..."
Lao Li still muttered in a low voice, "Then you deserve to be poor.
I heard that the poor people over there even eat maggots from the bamboos on the mountain, cicadas, crabs with claws and claws... I heard that some even eat centipedes and scorpions..."
When Zhang Xiaoli heard this, her heart suddenly hurt...everywhere hurt!
A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out on the spot!
Zhang Xiaoli was very angry, but she could not argue:
She couldn't be with the old Li Tou in front of her, who had never even left the borders of Zhizhimi County.
The people who eat these things are only a very small number of people in Bashu, right?
I can’t give Lao Li some popular science: Bamboo maggots are actually very rich in nutrients, right?
You can't say that eating crabs is similar to how people here like to eat melon seeds, just to keep their mouths busy, right?
Seeing Zhang Xiaoli's chest rising and falling with anger, her face turned red...
Accountant Li smiled slightly and said, "Comrade Zhang Xiaoli, please go back to the house first. It's hard to get along with an old man like him."
"call--"
Zhang Xiaoli angrily raised the door curtain and entered the house.
Peng Yong was slapped on the back as he was busy putting on his coat. "You, a gay man, don't know how to turn around when you are putting on your clothes? This makes me so angry!"
Peng Yong opened his mouth but did not dare to say a word.
Dou Jiande smiled honestly and comforted Zhang Xiaoli, "Comrade Zhang, please calm down, this is the custom here.
Men have the final say on all matters big and small in the family... This is a rule passed down from the elders."
rule?
Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong secretly laughed...
In Saibei, I'm afraid 90% of the men don't know how to cook.
No matter how busy and hard-working the aunts and uncles in their family are.
After these gentlemen return home, they will sit cross-legged on the kang and wait for them to cook.
No matter how late they wait or how hungry they are, they probably won't cook for themselves...
No, the man here had his mother-in-law when he was a child, and his sisters helped him cook.
When they grow up and are still very young, the elders in the family help them find a wife.
After these men got married and had children, it was their mother-in-law's turn to cook for him.
There is nothing right or wrong about this.
A place with water and soil supports a person,
Everyone's way of thinking and style of speaking are inevitably affected by the environment in which they live.
Peng Yong was a little angry, "Captain Dou, why don't you take care of things like club members beating and scolding their own children?"
Dou Jiande was startled: "How to solve the problem? When I was a child, I was kicked and beaten by adults like this... I really can't take care of the housework."
Peng Yong was not convinced, "By..."
Luo Xuan pulled Peng Yong and signaled him not to argue with Dou Jiande...it was useless!
Dou Jiande, who is just an honest and honest man, is not aware of the macho attitude of people here towards their children.
is very wrong.
Even if he realizes it, what can he do?
Let Dou Jiande take the lead in cooking, and plan to have a pioneer model take the lead?
If Dou Jiande really dared to do that, not only would the men in Zhuangzi not follow his example.
Instead, they would squat at the entrance of the village and laugh at him while eating!
Just because Dou Jiande did this will harm the interests of all the men in Zhuangzi.
In their hearts, there is a tacit understanding: everyone must look like a big man!
Only in this way can they continue to safeguard their own interests...
If you meet a member of the village and they are fighting... well, in fact, most of them are the men in the family who are attacking their own aunts.
It's not easy for Dou Jiande to interfere...
By accident, Dou Jiande stepped forward to defend the beaten aunt out of good intentions.
I'm afraid it can only lead to two consequences: the couple joins forces and accuses Dou Jiande of being a dog and a rat.
Or in the village, gossip will gradually appear: Is Dou Jiande and so-and-so's aunt... Hehe.
Otherwise, how could he defend that aunt?
If it weren't for that... between them, they would have been fighting...
It’s none of his business!
It is not easy to change the economic outlook of a place.
But if you want to change people in a place, their overall way of thinking and inherent concepts...
That will be harder!
Take your time, haste makes waste...
Just like those people in Laku Village for thousands of years, they have always liked to eat with their hands.
The men over there are lazy...I really can't describe it in words.
But later on, didn’t they slowly change?
The people here in Saibei are at least very hardworking and family-oriented.
And he must be very law-abiding!
With such good basic conditions, Luo Xuan still didn't believe it: anyway, he would stay here for a long time.
As various projects are carried out in the next step, can't we slowly change the thinking here?
