With a bang, the door of the old house was locked.
Su Xiaoman glanced left and right, and there was no other
movement around except for the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests
and the sound of rushing streams.
The sun was a little warm, so Su Xiaoman walked under the shade of
the tree. When the wind blew, the dense tree shadows on the ground sway back
and forth, she took a deep breath, she liked this kind of windy day. It was a little cool and refreshing.
She walked in the direction of her uncle's house, pulled the
branches and climbed the slope, her field of vision became a little higher, and
she happened to see a middle-aged woman walking in front with a large basket on
her back, the woman was about forty or fifty. Aged and bulky, she suddenly fell
while walking down a small steep slope.Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com.
Zhou Yanzi held her waist, and the severe pain engulfed her
body, causing the mourning in her mouth to continue one after another, and
there were tears in her eyes, then she vaguely saw the figure
of Su Xiaoman walking over.
Su Xiaoman put the things she was holding aside and slowly
helped her up.
Zhou Yanzi was astonished, she was a big loudspeaker, she heard a lot of gossip about Su Xiaoman in the village before, and often choked with
Liu Shufeng. She originally thought that Su Xiaoman would come to sneer when
she saw her distress. But Su Xiaoman came to help her without
thinking.
"Aunt Zhou, what's the matter? Do you want to go to the clinic?"
Although the bones were not broken, but the basket was
broken, these pumpkins were not convenient to take back. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com.
Su Xiaoman followed her line of sight then picked up the pumpkins
that rolled out one by one,. Zhou Yanzi endured the pain, and held the basket of pumpkin in her arms.
"Aunt Zhou, let me help you go back. I am going this way to meet my uncle ."
Aunt Zhou used to think that Su Xiaoman was bad, but now she felt her heart was burning, and her affection for the person
in front of her was rising. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com. Report if found anywhere else.
She felt that Su Xiaoman had changed and became more likeable. As the two walked forward, the desire to communicate and talk could not be
restrained.
Aunt Zhou's tone became warm and kind, Su Xiaoman smiled
softly and spoke a few words to her.
"Xiaoman, did you cut Xie Mingtu's hair?"
Su Xiaoman nodded and said "um".
Aunt Zhou gave her a deep look, and suddenly came over and
whispered, "Are you planning to live with Xie Mingtu?"
Su Xiaoman: "…"
This scene made her smile.
Aunt Zhou caught a glimpse of her smile, as if she had
understood something, her eyes kept flickering.
Su Xiaoman realized what she was thinking about, and she
couldn't help laughing after she was stunned. She always wanted to keep cute
animals such as cats and dogs when she was a child, but Mrs. Su didn't like it,
so she could only say that with him she felt like Raising cats and dogs…
Aunt Zhou patted Su Xiaoman's arm, "Xiaoman, you ask Xie Mingtu to shave his beard. He will look very good. He was very beautiful
when he was a child."
After that, she thought of something and sighed: "Xie Mingtu is a child with a miserable life,
and my aunt knows that little girls like you all like Jiang Zhiqing, a
cultural person from the city... If Xie Mingtu was born in the city, he would
also be a cultural person."
"I remember it was more than ten years ago..." Aunt
Zhou narrowed her eyes and fell into memory, "When he was a child,
there was a teaching school outside the village, and Mrs. Xie didn't allow him to go.
When I went there, he secretly listened to the class by the window. At that
time, I asked him, 'Can you hear them reading here?', he could hear it, whatever was read in class, and repeat it word for word."
"I'm thinking, if this kid can study seriously, he will
definitely not be worse than the city people, maybe he could be more literate than
that Jiang Zhiqing."
"Really?" A pitiful uneducated child appeared in her mind, Su Xiaoman felt a little sad. The snow-white dog even whimpered
and pulled down his furry ears.
Aunt Zhou lowered her voice a little bit again, "It's
also the four evils at this time, and you are not allowed to talk about those
strange things. There were strange things about Xie Mingtu when he was a child,
and many people were afraid of him."
"The old man said that children of a few years old are
easy to hear and saw some unclean things." Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com
Su Xiaoman: "...?"
—unclean thing?
"At that time, there was a family surnamed Ji whose
daughter-in-law died, saying that she ate rat poison by mistake, and the family
was planning to do the funeral. I heard that the father-in-law poisoned his
daughter-in-law..."
"He was still young at that time, four or five years old,
and he recounted it well."
"Many people believe him."
"At that time, there was a little disturbance. The
mother's family collected the body and took the Ji family's money. Because of
this, there was an extra amount of commotion. They didn't come to make
trouble immediately, but soon after the incident, Ji's family went to Xie's family to make
trouble, saying that Xie's family taught the children to talk nonsense to frame
their family... Sun Mei beat up Xie Mingtu. "
"I don't know if it's a guilty conscience, the family
moved away."
"Xie Mingtu got quieter and quieter, with his head
down, and he didn't like to talk much."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoman's heart was a little heavy, and she
couldn't tell what it was like. It happened that she and Aunt Zhou had already
arrived at the destination. The two said goodbye. Aunt Zhou insisted on giving her a pumpkin. Su
Xiaoman didn't take it.
The door of the house was open during the day, Su
Xiaoman went straight into her uncle's house, and first met her aunt Wang
Qiaoxiu who was washing vegetables outside.
Wang Qiaoxiu is a middle-aged woman with short hair. As soon
as she saw Su Xiaoman, she gave her a hearty smile, grabbed a handful of
vegetables, and shook off the water on it, "Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, I came to find uncle."
Su Xiaoman's relationship with her uncle's family is not bad.
She often came to play when she was a child, and her uncle Wang Qiaoxiu loved
her very much.
"Your uncle is chatting with Secretary Liang...huh, why
haven't I heard a sound now, they shouldn't have left right?"
"Auntie, I'll go in and have a look." Su Xiaoman
handed over the bag she brought to Wang Qiaoxiu.
"You! It's okay for you to come alone, why did you bring
something." Wang Qiaoxiu shook her head and reimpranded a few times.
Su Xiaoman stuffed something into Wang Qiaoxiu's hand, and soon she went inside, leaving only Wang Qiaoxiu, who was still
washing vegetables, and calling her several times from behind. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com.
Secretary Liang had already left, and as soon as Su Xiaoman entered, she saw her uncle, smoking a cigarette and sighing.
Uncle Liu Zhaoqiang saw that it was Su Xiaoman, and he forced
a smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's Xiaoman, you're here, your
mother said you've become sensible recently."
"Uncle, I heard you sighing outside, why are you
worried?"
Liu Zhaoqiang exhaled a puff of gray-white smoke, the air was
a bit choking, he patted his thigh, and the whitened soot fell to the ground
rustling, "It's the matter of the adults, about the team."
Thinking about the purpose of her coming today, Su Xiaoman
said: "I heard that you have been very busy with the production team
recently, and the members are all grateful to uncle, our production team
will definitely be able to make a difference."
"When I came, I heard people say that our production team
will lead women comrades to do side jobs and liberate production. We have
mulberry trees here, which are suitable for silkworm breeding. Silkworms are
another income and earn more work points.”
"You bought the tractor, and it saves a lot of effort
in the field... These are all good things."
Liu Zhaoqiang rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly:
"Some things can't be done so quickly, we have no experience in raising
silkworms, the idea is good, but Uncle is having a headache
now, No one else in the village is willing."
"Pig farms, fish ponds, silkworm raising... all are good
things, but if they are not raised well, it will be a waste of time and nothing
will be harvested."
"The people don't know how to raise silkworms. We haven't
raised silkworms before, what should we do if we raise them to death?"
"I have to take it slowly."
Liu Zhaoqiang sighed and put out the cigarette in his hand,
"Now everyone has come to persuade me, and Secretary Liang had also
come, saying that I am too radical, and might easily screw
things up."
"One can't be too radical, I have to take it step by
step. Now the most worrying thing is that people in the village won't believe
me, and they want to stay the same."
"I went to other people's production team before, they
have mills, bought internal combustion engines, machines grind beans, oil and
rice, what a hassle."
"The productivity is high, the women raise silkworms and
sew, there are fish ponds, they also buy several tractors, and cooperate with
the state-owned factories in the county... One day can be worth one yuan and
five cents a day!" Liu Zhaoqiang's voice unconsciously
increased several times.
The next second, like a punctured balloon, it collapsed
instantly.
"It's a pity that our production team has less money, and
everyone's income is low. Even if I have a heart, it's not easy."
"I finally got a batch of good seeds from someone, but I
don't want to plant them. The uncles and the third masters of the Sun family
came to scold me for not wanting to plant them, saying they were high-yield,
and I didn't believe them. "
…
Liu Zhaoqiang sighed a few times, looked at his blackened
fingers, and lit another cigarette, "Xiaoman, you came here today—"
Before Liu Zhaoqiang's words were finished, Su Xiaoman
interrupted him first: "Uncle, I heard people say how to raise silkworms
before, and I know how to raise them."
"Uncle, don't worry about it, now many people don't
believe you, because you are the only one who has seen the situation of the
advanced demonstration team. , and refused to plant the good seeds that people
say."
"Believe me."
"Let our production team go with the educated
youth."
"We have many leafy mulberry trees, and we can graft the
leafy mulberry trees over there... Uncle, we can form a study team and go to
other people's production teams to study."
Liu Zhaoqiang's eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot,
forming a study team?
He never thought that his niece Su Xiaoman could say such a
thing.
"Xiaoman, why are you suddenly...? You used to be..." Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com.
Su Xiaoman immediately seized the opportunity to show herself,
"Uncle, I have changed now, I have been working hard recently to read,
study books, learn various knowledge, and make my thoughts positive. In the
future, I will actively participate in labor construction.”
"Uncle, look, I am gifted in embroidery, although I
can't go to the ground, but look, this is the dress I made for my sister-in-law
before, look at the above embroidered."
"I have also read about grafting in the book, uncle, let
me join the study team to learn advanced production technology, we women must
also develop suitable labor, liberate productive forces."
"You, you..." Liu Zhaoqiang's expression became a
bit indescribable, it was hard to believe that his niece would actually say
these words, but his eyes couldn't help falling on what Su Xiaoman handed over
on a small dress.
No need to say, the embroidery on the top is really good, the
stitches are fine and neat, it must be made by a skilled and careful girl.
Their family, Xiaoman, is not only beautiful, but also good in
cooking and sewing.
But this kid was making a lot of noise about "Jiang
Zhiqing" before, but now she promised him to devote herself to production
and construction.
Liu Zhaoqiang was worried whether the sun was coming out of
the west, or he was dreaming, or why did Secretary Liang, who supported him in
the past, persuaded him to give up, while his niece was "ambitious"
and encouraged him to do it.
—Is this the reverse?
Forming a study team, let alone, this idea is somewhat
beneficial. It is not that other production teams have done this in the
newspapers. There is still encouragement in the province. Su Xiaoman, this
child, should have seen it in the newspaper no ?
"You and Jiang Zhiqing..." Uncle Liu was hesitant to
speak, Su Xiaoman's current change should not be for Jiang Zhiqing. Those
educated youths who went to the countryside were all intellectuals. Su Xiaoman
had also heard of things such as textbooks and other things she found before in
order to have a good relationship with those educated youths.
Perhaps under the influence of the educated youth, what she said today, must be after reading the relevant reports. Although it was an sudden, and can not be regarded as extremely abnormal, but...
What is the idea of his
niece?
Su Xiaoman said: "Uncle, I am married now and have
nothing to do with Jiang Zhiqing. My purpose now is to make myself happy in the
future, only our production team with the development of productive forces,
everyone's living standards will improve, and each member of the community will
be able to live a happy life."
"If our production team's working day is worth more than
one yuan a day, why worry about a bad day? You will have enough to eat,
warm clothes, and meat from time to time."
Liu Zhaoqiang was moved by the other party's words, and he
thought the same before, yes, if the output of their production team increases,
the dividends of each family will be more at the end of the year.
It's just the other folks who couldn't turn their minds
around, but he didn't expect that it was his niece Su Xiaoman who turned
around first. Read only on fluffyedits.blogspot.com.
Su Xiaoman's tone was extraordinarily sincere, "Uncle, I read some books recently, and I have come to understand that a good life is created by one's own hands."
The previous setbacks had reduced his impulse, "Xiaoman, your
idea is good, I will think about it again and discuss it with others."
