Hard times have room

Chapter 716 ancestor worship
Li Tao's incident can only be regarded as a small episode, and it will be over after it has passed. There is no one who is picking up trouble and trying to expand the situation. Naturally, the transition will pass smoothly soon.

The most likely candidate, Xu Qing, has already faded away. More than 20 days ago, what she did was finally exposed. In the next half month, she will have a miserable life. As long as she gets up together every morning, Mrs. Wang The queen will make her like a spinning top, spinning all day long, that is, it is now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it will stop a little.

Now Xu Qing can't wait for everyone in the room to treat her as an invisible person. It's better to ignore her completely, forget her completely, and don't think of her existence, because the domination of Mrs. Wang is really terrible. .

Xu Qing, who used to have some flesh on her face, is now completely dry and thin, and there is no flesh on her cheeks. The previous face was slightly rounded, so Xu Qing who looked particularly gratifying completely disappeared from the current Xu Qing's face.

Apart from being thin, Xu Qing's cracked face, blown by the cold wind, and chilblains, swollen like a pig's hoof, and cracked in some places are the most conspicuous. If you look closely, you can still see those The red flesh and blood in the small slits will feel very scary after looking at it for a long time.

When she was first caught, Mrs. Wang gave her a choice, and asked her to go to her parents' house to get the food back, or convert it into money, and she would not pursue it. Unfortunately, she chose the other one, so Then there is Xu Qing, who is now embarrassed.

Xu Qing's life was not good. The most worrying thing was her children. She cried a lot for her, but to no avail.

As for help, they thought, unfortunately, Mrs. Wang and Xu Qing were not allowed either.

After Li Tao softened, the whole kitchen fell into a brief silence. At this time, no one has the intention of joking, even the two youngest children in the family, who can see the faces of adults, kept silent. During this time , they have grown a lot.

Of course, there are no very young children in this room. After all, the youngest Wang Wenjun is also eight years old, followed by Baozhu, ten years old, and then Baolin. She will be fourteen this year, and fifteen next year. But because she was born in November, she was still fourteen after the college entrance examination.

Wen Jun Baozhu is not too young, but she has never been to school. It's not because they don't want to go, but because the conditions don't allow it. The environment has not been good for the past two years. Chenjiazhuang Primary School has been closed for more than a year. But the family is not at ease. It takes several hours to go back and forth. They are still too young, so they have to wait until now.

The family is not in a hurry, but this kind of thing is obviously not urgent, and their stomachs have always been half-starved and half-full. They thought about it at first, but they couldn't care less about it later.

Forget it, almost forgot, after all, in the face of survival, everything has to stand on the sidelines.

The silent time did not last long, and the family started to move, and began to prepare things for ancestor worship later.

These two things, yellow paper incense candles, are must-haves. Today’s people still attach great importance to these things. As long as they have conditions, they will not ignore these two things. Affected by the environment, adults in the family will be more or less superstitious.

The second is the meat food such as tea and boiled egg meat. This will not be wasted. The tea can be poured directly. The bowl that can hold the egg meat only needs to pour some soup out. The food is divided among the males of the family. It is said that eating this kind of meat and eggs sacrificed to ancestors is good for the health and can bless them.

This year's new year is not good, but Mrs. Wang still took out the bacon that she was reluctant to eat and treasured for a long time, cut it into two or two, and cut it into small pieces, which were very cherished. You still have to have a piece, or you can't divide it.

As for the eggs, they were laid by the old hen at home, and they took out three of them, so that they could get points later, so many people!
The ancestor worship is basically not Pauline's share. There are too many people around, and she can't squeeze in.

In the end, after everything was set up, I followed my cousins ​​and sisters, and a few people went in together to bow and worship the ancestors. Of course, if there is anything you want to pray for, you can pray while praying in your heart. It's impossible to say that the ancestors will help to realize it!
Although Pauline didn't quite believe this, she couldn't stand her family's belief, so she listened to her mother's voice beside her ears that she wanted her ancestors to bless her with a good university entrance exam next year, and bless their family with good health and success next year.

The aunt and aunt next to her are also talking about reading to seek safety, all for their children.

Now Baolin's two cousins, Wang Wenhui and Wang Wencan, are both in junior high school. They are already in the second grade of junior high school. Next year, Baolin will take the college entrance examination, and the two of them will take the high school entrance examination. , to see next year.

Of course, in fact, secondary school is also a very, very, very good choice at this time. I heard that it includes food, housing, and work assignments. However, secondary schools have higher requirements for students’ grades. Can these two people be admitted to high school? All hanging, let alone secondary school.

Paulin had the opportunity to go to a secondary school back then. The second class teacher had already asked her about it, but after many struggles, Paulin chose high school. For nothing else, she just wanted to go to a university. If she wants to do something successful, she doesn't want to give up halfway, and she still has a lot of confidence in herself.

Besides, this college student is worth more than a technical secondary school student. If you take it out, the name is much easier to use. Not to mention, you are still a college student in the 60s. .

At this time, the college entrance examination is really a single-plank bridge with thousands of horses. In the future, it seems that since the expansion of the university enrollment, the college students of this ordinary school are not worth much.

Another point is that at that time, Paulin felt that she was too young. When she graduated from junior high school, she was only twelve years old. She was really too young. She will be bullied, so she made a choice.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang also struggled with each other at that time, but they also stopped when they thought of Pauline's age.

When they were in high school in the county, they wanted to see Pauline, and they could go there from time to time. Paulin would come back to live for two or three days a month, but when they went to the city, it was really a long way to go.

They have been living in this small Shanghe Village all their lives. After leaving Jiangning County, they don't know where their feet are going. If Paulin goes to the city secondary school, they can't help at all, so, The idea of ​​persuading Pauline also faded.
