Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 184 The Little Four Being Beaten

Si Ni said something to San Ni, and without caring whether she agreed or not, she ran over there.

"Third sister, I want to go too."

Wu Ni turned her head to take a look and wanted to follow.

"Don't go! Otherwise, mom will be worried." Sanni scolded.

"Oh."

Wu Ni pouted and her eyes followed Si Ni's back.

Seeing Si Ni playing with Chou Dan and the others, laughing and joking, it was so fun that Xiao Wu couldn't help it any longer, "Third sister, I'm leaving now."

Then, regardless of Sanni's dissuasion, he ran away unsteadily with his short legs.

Sanni paused for a moment before reacting and quickly shouted, "Don't go over there...run slower! Don't fall!"

Then, she carried Xiaoliu on her back and walked over there.

Boys are generally more active than girls and often crawl around on rocks.

They jumped around and played games of chasing and fighting, but they didn't expect that Si Ni was even more active than them!
Every time she would climb to the top of the stone first, and then she would jump down from the stone screaming.

Children aged four or five have very good body flexibility. In addition, the stone is not high and there is soft snow underneath.

He was wearing a thick cotton jacket, so even if he fell down after jumping from a high place, he would not get hurt. At most, he would roll on the ground twice like a dung beetle and then stand up again.

When the other children saw Si Ni dancing, they started to dance too.

A child accidentally hit his head on the ground. Although there was no bleeding, a big swelling appeared and he cried loudly in pain.

When the adults heard this, they all looked over here.

The child's mother ran over, checked the child's injuries, spat into her palm, and then rubbed the place where the child was hit.

The child cried out in pain.

"It's so painful! Following a wild..."

The child's mother glanced at Si Ni. If it were in the past, she would definitely say something unpleasant.
But now, Chen Weidong is a capable man in the village, and when he thinks of Wu Xiuqin's cursing figure,
She immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and changed her words, "Come back with me. If you dare to run around again, I will break your legs!"

The child was dragged away.

Si Ni and the other children continued to crawl around and jump around. Without Er Ni's supervision, the little girls seemed to be completely letting themselves go.

Xiaowu also wanted to climb up, but because he was too small, he couldn't climb up, so he shouted from under the stone: "Fourth sister, I want to climb up too! Fourth sister, help me!"

"Okay! Come here quickly, I'll pull you over!"

Sanni came over at this time, carrying Xiaoliu on her back, and shouted, "Si Ni, come down quickly, or I will call for mom."

"do not want!"

Si Ni made a face at her.

Seeing that Si Ni didn't listen to her, San Ni immediately ran to find her mother.

"Mom, Si Ni is not listening and is climbing up the big rock! I asked her to come down, but she refused."

Sanni complained in a baby voice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xueting followed Sanni and walked over. Not far away, she saw Sini standing on a stone, and she jumped down with a whoosh.

Liu Xueting was startled. Now this little girl, Si Ni, is too brave! If she hits something on such a high stone...

Chen Weidong is not at home, and Liu Xueting is usually too gentle to the children. Since Da Ni and Er Ni went to school, Sini has become more and more wild!

A little girl is wilder than a boy. Is that okay?
Liu Xueting thought to herself: As a mother, should I be stricter with my child? It's time to give her a good beating!
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the children in front. It turned out that a little boy of three or four years old was running over with a little sparrow. All the children gathered around to see the curiosity.

When Si Ni heard the noise, she immediately ran over.

Xiao Wu shouted at her from behind, asking her to slow down, but it was no use. When she got to the front of the group of people, she saw that she couldn't squeeze in.

Si Ni said to the little boy next to her fiercely, "Get out of the way!"

The kid was stunned. When he saw that it was Si Ni, he knew he couldn't beat her. He reacted and ran away immediately...

Finally, she squeezed in front of the boy who caught the sparrow.

No one knew what she said, but the boy gave the sparrow to Si Ni in fear and anger.

Si Ni immediately laughed happily, took the sparrow and left, and behind her was a group of boys who dared not speak out!

The boy who caught the sparrow first was so angry and afraid of Si Ni that he turned around and went to look for his parents.

Liu Xueting watched the whole process and was surprised that Si Ni, who used to be such a cute and obedient little girl, suddenly became a "king of children".

She also felt guilty for her overbearing behavior. The child's father often went up the mountain to hunt, and it was all because of her, as a mother, she neglected to discipline him!

What will happen if we allow her to continue growing like this?

It seems that this beating needs to be a little harsher!
Thinking of this, Liu Xueting felt a little reluctant. After all, whether it was Si Ni or the other little ones, they were all her flesh and blood.

But no matter how reluctant I am, there is no other way. I have to beat her, otherwise she will make a big fuss.

Sanni was running the fastest in the front: "Si Ni, mom is here, you are in trouble!"

Si Ni didn't take it seriously. Instead, she ran towards Liu Xueting as if she was offering a treasure, "Mom, look, I caught a sparrow!"

Liu Xueting did not beat or scold her directly, but asked with a stern face, "Si Ni, did you really catch this?"

"Yup!"

Si Ni didn't notice the change in Liu Xueting's expression and continued to boast, "I saw it from a distance and I pounced on it..."

"Si Ni, didn't mom always teach you to be an honest child? Si Ni, are you an honest child?"

Liu Xueting frowned and asked quickly.

"what?"

Si Ni was stunned for a moment.

Liu Xueting asked again, and Si Ni said in a weak voice, "I am."

"Then why did you lie? I'll give you another chance. Did you really catch the sparrow?"

Liu Xueting looked at the little girl with her big eyes, clear black and white.

"Mom...I..."

Si Ni lowered her head. Her mother was usually very gentle, but she was also most afraid of her mother getting angry: "It wasn't me who caught it, it was Donkey Egg who caught it."

"Then why did you lie to mom?"

"me…"

It was the first time that Si Ni saw her mother so strict, and she was almost scared to tears.

"Say!"

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing Si Ni's pitiful appearance, Liu Xueting felt soft-hearted, but she also knew that she couldn't let her go so easily, otherwise the child would think that everything could be solved by crying.

"There's no point in crying. Children who lie are the worst! Are you wrong?"

"I…wuwu…I…wuwu…was wrong."

"Should I be punished for my mistakes?"

"..."

"Tell me! Should I be punished?"

"Yes……"

"Then stretch out your hand, I'm going to hit the palm of your hand!"

"..."

"Stretch out!"

Liu Xueting's expression became serious, and Si Ni reluctantly extended her hand.

This time, Liu Xueting was determined to teach her a profound lesson, so she picked up a small stick from the side!

Snapped!
Gave her a stick!
"Wow wow wow..."

Si Ni burst into tears due to the pain. The beating hurt her daughter, and Liu Xueting felt the pain in her heart. She used to watch Chen Weidong beat the children, and she tried her best to protect them. She never thought that she would beat the children too!
This scene also frightened Sanni, Wuni and Liuni. They stood aside, not daring to breathe.

"Does it hurt?"

Liu Xueting asked Si Ni.

“Ouch…it hurts…Ouch…”

"It's right to hurt. I want you to remember that a child who lies is not a good child!" Liu Xueting said, "Next, let's talk about the second question. Why did you steal Donkey's things?"

"I...I...didn't rob..."

"Lying again?!"

"I...I really didn't steal it, he gave it to me himself!"

"Then why would he give it to you?"

"Because I said, if he doesn't give it to me, I'll play his birdie like I did before!"

"you……"

Liu Xueting was speechless.

Last time when I took photos, I warned this little girl not to pull down other people's pants, not to pull down other people's pants, and not to flick other boys' birds. This...

"Tell me yourself, is this right?"

"No...no..."

"Should I be punished?"

"I…I don't!"

"If you are wrong, you must accept the punishment, you must recognize your mistake, and don't make it again next time! You must also apologize to Donkey Egg and return his things to him!"

"I…"

"Hands out!"

"..."

Si Ni slowly stretched out her hand, and Liu Xueting hit her with the stick again, making her cry again.

Just at this time, Donkey's mother came over and saw Liu Xueting beating Si Ni until she cried.

She didn't know what to say.

Liu Xueting pushed Si Ni in front of Lu Dan and said, "Si Ni, talk to Lu Dan yourself."

Si Ni said with a twitch, "Donkey Egg, I'm sorry, I'll return the sparrow to you."

Donkey Egg took the sparrow.

"Si Ni, you have to remember that you have to play with your friends and you can't steal other people's things. Do you understand?"

Liu Xueting regained her gentle look and wiped Si Ni's tears.

"Mom, I understand."

"Okay, go ahead and play!"

Liu Xueting then said to Donkey's mother, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, the child is a little naughty."

"It's okay! All children are like this," Donkey's mother smiled and left.

After Liu Xueting finished teaching Si Ni a lesson, she told San Ni next to her, "Mom is going to go back first. You can play here with your sisters. Remember not to go too far!"

"Ok!"

Sanni nodded.

After saying that, Liu Xueting went back. After being beaten, Si Ni became much more obedient and was no longer so domineering and naughty.

But seeing her like that, Liu Xueting thought that she would forget this lesson in a couple of days and go back to her old ways.

However, Liu Xueting knew that educating children was a long process and could not be accomplished overnight.

Of course, we can't just ignore it, otherwise the child will become lawless.

"Wait for Weidong to come back and discuss with him how to educate Si Ni. It would be great if this little girl could be like her elder and second sisters!"

Liu Xueting thought to herself.

~

After Chen Weidong and his two companions returned to Heishong County, Chen Weidong did not go home directly but went to the black market in the county town and bought 9 rounds of 1910mm Browning M (Hua Pai Revolver) from Li Dashan.
Fifty rounds of 7.62mm bullets. I bought a Type semi-automatic rifle from the gun dealer Li Dashan last time.
The thirty bullets given have been almost used up. Chen Weidong still has some pistol bullets at home, but he wants to buy some more as backup.

"Brother Chen, wait a minute!"

Chen Weidong and his two companions had just bought the bullets and were about to leave when a middle-aged man called him.

Chen Weidong knew this man, a middle-aged man named Wang Jun, who was a ticket dealer on the black market. Chen Weidong had approached him to get radio tickets before.
However, he didn't get it at that time, so Chen Weidong bought it in Hajiang City.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Chen Weidong asked.

"Brother, weren't you looking for a radio ticket? I got it!"

Wang Jun said.

"Uh~ Brother Wang, it's been so long, I bought the radio a long time ago! If there's nothing else, we'll leave first!"

Chen Weidong said.

"Don't worry, brother! Take a look. I've got a bunch of tickets here recently: radios, bicycles, sewing machines, even TV tickets. I have them. If you buy them, I'll give you a discount!"

Wang Jun said hurriedly, he knew the man in front of him was a rich man,
According to Li Dashan, this man spent several hundred dollars to buy a gun and bullets from him.

Chen Weidong already has a radio, but he doesn't want to buy a bicycle and he has no use for a TV. However, when he heard about sewing plane tickets, his heart was moved.

Now that he has money in his hands, he naturally cannot forget his wife. You know, Liu Xueting not only has to do housework and take care of the children on weekdays,

Whenever she had free time, she would sit on the kang and sew clothes stitch by stitch. Even now, when it was dark, she would still work for a while under the kerosene lamp.

I had just finished knitting a sweater for myself a while ago, and I asked Chen Weidong to get more cloth so that I could make clothes for him.

That’s fine, considering that the season will change in a while, the six little girls will have to change clothes again, and Liu Xueting will be busy again.

Chen Weidong saw all this and felt pain in his heart. He told Liu Xueting but she didn't listen.
Of course it's not just Liu Xueting. In fact, most women of this era are like this, regardless of whether they are intellectuals or illiterate. Of course, this is also because women of this era are hardworking.

Also, because there is not much entertainment in the countryside these days, making clothes and shoes is something women prefer to do.

Especially women with children like to do some sewing and mending whenever they have time, and at the same time they can make a contribution to the family.

Otherwise, how could a sewing machine become one of the three most important wedding items these days? After thirty or forty years, whoever gives a woman a sewing machine when she gets married is looking for scolding.

In fact, Chen Weidong had long planned to buy a sewing machine for Liu Xueting. Nowadays, when getting married in the city, which girl doesn't want a sewing machine as a dowry? Having a sewing machine is a very prestigious thing, and the girls in the countryside can only envy it.

Moreover, he didn't give any dowry when he married Liu Xueting, and Chen Weidong always wanted to give Liu Xueting a surprise.

A sewing machine is the best choice, because in this era there are few girls who don't like sewing machines.

Liu Xueting probably likes it too, and it can also make it easier for Liu Xueting to sew clothes.

However, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy a sewing machine.

Just like the radio, in those days, you couldn’t buy a sewing machine without a ticket. Even if you had money, you couldn’t buy one.

Moreover, in Heisong County, large items such as sewing machines and bicycles require not only tickets but also industrial coupons.

Moreover, tickets for large items such as sewing machines are often issued by public institutions.

For example, if you want to buy a bicycle, for an ordinary family,

It was definitely a big item. In addition to costing several hundred yuan in RMB, it also required more than forty industrial coupons.

Generally, each adult seems to only have a few industrial coupons per year, and buying something costs at least 20 to 30.
It takes years to save up. If you need it urgently, you have to borrow from friends and relatives.

For important industrial products like sewing machines, people had to line up and draw lots in the unit to see who was lucky enough to draw the quota allocated to the unit and then get a sewing machine ticket.

These days, if an employee in the county town gets a ticket for a sewing machine, it is no exaggeration to say that when the whole family returns home it is as if it is New Year's Day.

Last time, Wang Jun couldn't even get a radio ticket, let alone a sewing machine. Although Chen Weidong could get a sewing machine ticket in Hajiang City, a sewing machine is relatively large, unlike a radio.
It is not easy to transport it back, so Chen Weidong kept it in his heart and waited for a chance to buy it in the future.
