The family happily waved their fans and set up a dragon gate formation.
Liu Lihui and his three children were very curious about life in the city. They gathered around Zhang Xiuying and asked questions. Especially the university life, which made Liu Lihui and Liu Lihui yearn for it. However, this year's college entrance examination, Liu Lihui had nothing to do.
Hope.
Because Liu Lihui's grades were average, she is now studying in high school in the County No. 5 Middle School not far from Dingxin Commune. Originally, the school was relatively average, but her grades were even more average.
In this era, those who can be admitted to college are all top students, and they must be at least among the top ten in the class to have any hope. However, Liu Lihui's grades are average, and she can only get into more than thirty places in the class of sixty.
So Liu Lihui didn't hold out much hope, but now she has some ideas, that is, to come back and learn to grow medicinal materials from her elder brother. If she gets married in the future, she can also plant medicinal materials.
After chatting for a long time, Zhang Xiuying smiled and said: "Li Hui, tell me what happened to your eldest brother when he was a child. I think he was definitely not like this when he was a child!"
Liu Lihui smiled and said: "Do you really want to say it? I'm afraid that my eldest brother will beat me!"
This made Liu Limin extremely embarrassed, because he had a lot of scandals when he was a child, and if he said this, he would make his junior sister laugh out loud.
Wang laughed and said: "Lihui, just tell Xiuying and nothing will happen to your elder brother."
Liu Lihui smiled and said: "Okay then, think about it, our family was really poor at that time. We didn't have enough to eat, let alone clothes."
Speaking, Liu Lihui seemed to have returned to that era.
When Liu Limin was young, he remarried to the Liu family with his mother. Later, his mother gave birth to Liu Lihui, Liu Lixia, and Liu Lixin.
More than ten years ago, it was the 1960s. Although the natural disasters of several years have passed, people's lives in Dingxin Commune were still very poor. At that time, they had to eat from a big pot, and their children had to be sent to kindergarten.
.
It's just that there is nothing to eat in the kindergarten. They eat porridge every day. They say it is porridge, but in fact there are only a few grains of rice. It is just rice soup.
It's the time when children are growing up, so they can't stand being hungry.
Therefore, the smarter children would run out to steal food, while the more honest children could only sit and starve.
At this time, the land contract responsibility system had not yet been implemented. All members of the commune were paid for their work, so the crops in the fields belonged to the collective.
In this case, the motivation of the members is actually seriously insufficient. Many people are working as foreigners, so the output of food is low. In addition, some people will steal from the fields, so the final output is even lower.
In fact, in addition to children who steal, some adults also steal.
Honest people can only go hungry.
When Liu Limin was a child, he was quite clever and courageous. He was not willing to go hungry, so he often ran out secretly and stole food from the fields.
One year, before the broad beans in the field grew full, Liu Limin secretly ran into a field and stole several handfuls of young broad beans. Of course, eating them raw was not allowed because raw broad beans were poisonous.
Liu Limin was young and didn't know this. He was really hungry, so he ate a few pills, then ran to the bamboo forest, poured the broad beans into the bamboo tube, and lit a fire to cook the broad beans.
Because he was afraid that someone would find out, Liu Limin didn't know whether it was cooked or not. When he felt it was almost done, he put out the fire, poured out the broad beans and ate them.
Something bad happened this time. After eating half-cooked broad beans, not long after returning to the kindergarten, something happened to Liu Limin.
The little guy was poisoned by broad beans and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. The kindergarten teacher was horrified when he discovered that the little guy's vomited food contained broad beans.
Quickly call someone to notify Wang and Liu Limin's stepfather to come over.
Ms. Wang was also frightened. The child was already in poor health and had become so thin. Now he was poisoned by eating broad beans. If he didn't get treatment quickly, his life might be lost.
Mrs. Wang thought of her last husband and felt sorry for him. He only left such a child. If there was no child, how would she see him when she went downstairs.
The production team also knows about this, and the consequences are very serious. If you steal collective crops and food, the punishment will be very serious. If you are an adult, you may have to be sent to the police station.
Liu Limin's stepfather was extremely angry. This was something that was going to affect their whole family. Deductions from work points were nothing. How could he see anyone in the future?
So this time, although Liu Limin was sent to Barefoot Doctor by his mother and his illness was cured, he still received a beating when he returned home.
Beating the child at this time was a real beating. Liu Limin's stepfather hung him up and beat him severely with bamboo. No matter how much Wang tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
In the end, Liu Limin was beaten to the point of dying, and his stepfather threw away the bamboo that was covered in blood. At this time, the bamboo was broken into strips, which shows how hard the beating was.
Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son, but there was no way. This time Liu Limin secretly ate broad beans, and the production team knew about it. This was very detrimental to their family. Not only was it a shame, but they would also be severely punished.
, I’m afraid I’ll be even more hungry for a while.
When Liu Lihui told this story, she couldn't help crying, let alone the people listening.
Mrs. Wang has been crying for a long time. It was too hard at that time, but now she is finally living a good life. This is all thanks to Liu Limin. Only when you are successful can you live in a small green tiled house and have enough to eat.
Zhang Xiuying couldn't help wiping her tears and said: "Brother Limin, I didn't expect that you were so miserable when you were a child. Compared to you, I was so happy when I was a child. I really don't know how you got here after so many years."
Liu Limin choked up and said, "It's okay, that's all in the past. I wasn't sensible when I was a child and did a lot of scandalous things. I'm sorry for my family. Now that I think about it, I really deserve a beating!"
Later, Liu Limin did not dare to steal the collective food, but he would often steal mulberries with his younger brothers and sisters. This was no problem, because everyone planted mulberry trees to collect mulberry leaves and raise silkworms. There were no mulberries.
People want it.
Children often climb up to the mulberry trees to pick mulberries to eat, but the adults always don't let them eat them because eating too many mulberries can lead to diarrhea.
So whenever a child in a family ate mulberries without wiping his mouth clean, and was discovered by an adult when he got home, he would be beaten again.
Liu Limin was also very emotional. He was a reborn person, and he felt even more deeply. People of his generation all grew up being beaten. As the saying goes, good people emerge from under the stick.
As for the generation born in the 1990s and 2000s, they have become family treasures and cannot be beaten or scolded.
The family chatted until twelve o'clock, when the cold began to subside, and then everyone went back to their houses to sleep.
Zhang Xiuying thought about it over and over. Tomorrow she would officially start her teaching internship. She didn't know if she would be able to teach. It took a long time for her to fall asleep.
