Hard times have room

Chapter 9 Eccentricity
At eleven or twelve noon, Su Hongying was already busy preparing the meal.

I don't prepare breakfast at home when I don't go to work today, only lunch and dinner.

"Paulin, your milk hasn't come back today. Go to the pigsty to see if your milk is done. If you are not done, you will help your milk. When you are done, call your milk to come back for dinner." Su Hongying Said while filling corn and wild vegetables.

It's raining today and the team can't work, but the pigs have to be fed, so her milk is still busy in the pigsty.

Although her milk work every day is to pick and chop wild vegetables, feed the five pigs, clean the pigpen regularly every two days, and compost it.

Life is not tiring, but it is broken, and there is quite a lot of waste time every day.

The pig grass is distributed to three poor families in the village. It is a simple job. Two of them have four boxes per day, and one family with less people has two baskets per day. The work points are calculated to have strong labor for one or two months of work points throughout the year. At the end of the year, I can share a lot of money.

Five pigs, ten frames of hogweed every day, and two frames of hogweed for one work point, so it counts as five work points, mainly the children in the family can do it, and the pigs do not choose to eat, one or two frames are still easy to lay, and hogweed is regarded as part of the team. Take care of people with poor conditions!
"Hey, I'll go right away." Paulin responded, put on her shoes, put on a bamboo stick, and took a bamboo hat, and went to the pigsty of the brigade in the west of the village.

As soon as they went out, the muddy dirt road soaked Pauline's rags.

The rag shoes were really broken. The uppers were covered with patches, exposing the big toes. The soles were worn out, and there was yellow mud left over from the last rainy day.

No way, there are no rubber shoes at home, after all, those are things that require tickets, and there is no such ticket issued in the village.

I can only use broken shoes, I can't wear them full-time in rainy days, and they don't feel so distressed if they are dirty and broken.

On a rainy day, the soles of her feet slipped. Paulin almost fell on a downhill slope. She was barely able to hold on to the bamboo sticks. She walked to the place with stones or weeds, and finally reached the pigsty safely.

When she arrived at the pig sty, she saw that her milk was busy cleaning up the hog grass delivered today in the small house next to the two pig sties, and the pigs in the pig sty were humming and eating the hog grass.

"Honey, the family's meal is ready, my mother called you to go home for dinner." Paulin said as she entered the house, leaning the bamboo stick and hat against the wall.

"Pauline, why are you here? It's not easy to walk on a slippery road when it rains."

"Today, when the rain stopped, the pig grass was delivered early. Anyway, it was all right, so I chopped up the pig grass. It would save a lot of trouble in the afternoon. It took a while, so why did you come?"

Madam Wang held a rusted kitchen knife with a missing hole in her hand, and said as she moved, "You can't help much here, hurry back before the rain starts."

"Damn, don't, my mother asked me to come out and call you. It's a tough road. I'll go back with you when the time comes." Pauline squatted down and helped her mother put the chopped and scattered pig grass on the ground into a In a broken basket.

Originally, the old lady came back late, so her mother was worried and asked Pauline to go to the pigsty to take a look, because she was afraid that the road would be slippery in this rainy day, and the old lady would not accidentally fall.

Of course Pauline couldn't say that she should go back first. In case the old lady slipped, it would be useful for Pauline to be by her side.

"Well, I'll go back after I chop this." Madam Wang looked at Bao Lin's movements and didn't say anything, but her eyes softened when she looked at Bao Lin, but she didn't know what to think, her eyes changed. , eventually moved away.

The old man has become sophisticated, not to mention the shrewd and capable old lady Wang, who knows the thoughts of Paulin's mother and daughter, but she can't tell through it, so as not to face it.

At first, Mrs. Wang was satisfied with the second daughter-in-law, Su Hongying. She knew from the beginning that she was a stubborn, strong, shrewd, capable, and grateful daughter-in-law.

When Su Hongying first came to Shanghe Village, it was the Wang family who left her. After marrying the second child, Wang Jiandang, she was not scolded and scolded, and she was very grateful to the second elder of the Wang family and Wang Jiandang.

It's just that the children are not satisfactory. Although Baolin is smart, she is still a girl, and she cannot pass on the line to the second child. Just this, Mrs. Wang is very dissatisfied.

Besides, the three brothers of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang, love the third child the most. Old man Wang values ​​the eldest brother the most. It was because of the gap between Su Hongying and his sister-in-law and his elder brother Wang Jianguo.

On this point, no matter how good Su Hongying is, Mrs. Wang is not uncommon, and Bao Lin is usually treated coldly.

People's hearts are biased, and old man Wang and old lady Wang are no exception.

The eldest son is the eldest son, and he will be the eldest son in the future, and the old couple will not be too strict with the big house. In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law Li Tao gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Wang family, Wang Wenhui, and the second grandson Wang Wencan. He is usually mild-mannered and caring.

The third child is the youngest son. In the countryside, it’s not just talking about the old man’s love for the youngest son. Even if they are both biological sons, they will be divided into three, six or nine by their biological parents, even if the difference between the elder brother and the younger brother is only the time of birth Just different.

In the Wang family, there is no doubt that Wang Jianjun is the one who the old couple loves the most.In the Wang family, he was the only one who went to school. Although he was reluctant to go later, he was the only one who could deduct pocket money from Mrs. Wang, and he was the only one who could make Mrs. Wang open a small kitchen from time to time. Euphemistically called the body is not good enough to make up.

Although the old couple suffered from eccentricity when they were daughters-in-law and sons, it would make them look good, but eccentricity is eccentricity. The whole family lives under one roof, and nothing can be hidden.

No one is a fool. After a long time, it will hurt people's hearts. If they are disappointed, their hearts will be cold. The rest is just a little face, tearing their faces, making a lot of noise, and the family is always ugly.

The only person Erfang can count on now is himself, he usually works harder than anyone else, and he doesn't dare to spend the private house he saves, except for the tuition fee for Baolin, the others are saved.

The big three-bedroom has subsidies for the old couple, and it will be easier to live in the future than the second-bedroom.

Paulin and Mrs. Wang returned home safely and had lunch.

After the lunch break, I woke up and suddenly found that the gloomy sky seemed to be scattered by the wind, revealing the blue sky hidden behind the scenes.

When Baolin woke up, she was called by Dongmei to pick up snails and small shellfish from the tidal flats of the Daqing River. Occasionally, she was lucky enough to find loach.

These things are quite fishy, ​​and people who can't handle it or find it troublesome will not eat it at all.

But Pauline can do it. Although it is a little troublesome, it is still good to eat it once in a while.

Dongmei and Baolin each picked up a basket of snails and snails and went back home. They raised them with water at home and spit out sand. After two days, they would be much cleaner.
