Hard times have room

Chapter 4 Wang Jianjun

The next day, early in the morning, around 05:30, the sky was dimly lit, but except for the two little Wenjun Baozhu who was sleeping and her third uncle Wang Jianjun who was lying on the bed, everyone else was already sitting in the main room At the front of the table, he drank the thin wild vegetable and sweet potato porridge in the bowl.

The morning meals were always made by her milk. The wild vegetables were left over from Pauline yesterday. There were only two or three sweet potatoes. To be honest, it was like vegetable leaf soup. It was tasteless and tasteless. It's not really called wild vegetables.

This breakfast is probably similar to what her milk feeds the pigs in the morning. The great thing is that the wild vegetables are tender, with two sweet potatoes in it, and a little salt added.

To be honest, Pauline wasn’t used to the food here before. In the 21st century, I ate rice, chicken, duck and fish every day, but now it’s three meals a day of porridge with wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, or corn porridge. It's big!
But there is no way, since you can't change the environment, you can only adapt to the environment!
After Paulin was weaned, she was used to the wild vegetable and sweet potato porridge at home, but when she ate all the food she could eat in the space, she was not used to it and ate less, which caused her stomach to burn a lot, and then she was slow for the sake of her stomach. Slowly getting used to the bitter taste of wild vegetables.

To this end, Baolin also practiced a unique skill of drinking porridge, drying the porridge until it was warm, and when she raised her hand, it took three mouthfuls and drank it all in one bowl. It can be said that Baolin is the fastest food in the Wang family. one of the people.

The Wang family divides the porridge according to her labor. Baolin does not have much porridge each time, just a small bowl. Of course, every time Wang Jiandang Su Hongying wanted to share the porridge with her, she refused without hesitation.

Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying worked hard, and they could have more meetings if they ate more.

Every household in the village has to eat the food closely with the family’s strong laborers, otherwise they will not have the strength to work and earn work points.

When Paulin was six years old, she started digging wild vegetables and collecting firewood, and slowly used the space to stock up on wild vegetables and fruits, and she seldom went hungry.

Sometimes he would bring some wild fruits and sweet potatoes to Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, and the family would secretly eat them together in the house at night.

Mrs. Wang is a diligent and agile person. She wakes up early every day in the Wang family, and is the most disliked of lazy people who are dawdling and chattering. It just so happens that the third uncle Wang Jianjun is such a person.

On weekdays, her milk hurts the third uncle the most, but he is the one who usually talks and trains the most at home.

Today, the whole family was together except the youngest and the third uncle. After washing their faces, they sat on the table and drank porridge. Halfway through the meal, her third uncle yawned and rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room on the right.

"Everyone is eating, what are you talking about? The big girl is on the sedan chair. I want to ask for a second request. The old Xu family next door has just gone out. I don't know where the mushrooms are when I go late. What are you picking up?"

"The soldier will go to primary school in two years. You pick up mushrooms for me. If you want to be like before, you won't be able to pay the tuition fee of the soldier. Careful about your skin."

After speaking, Mrs. Wang poured the remaining porridge in the porridge bowl into Wang Jianjun's bowl.

"Understood, Mom, the soldier is my son, can I not care about him!" Wang Jianjun wiped his eyes, pulled his hair twice, stretched out his long legs, and sat down to eat.

The third uncle, Wang Jianjun, looks the most like old man Wang. He is her youngest child. He is only 24 years old now, and he is almost ten years younger than Wang Jian and Wang Ying, the founder of the party.

Since he was a child, the old lady, Wang Lao, has been hurting him, and his elder brothers and sisters let him.

Although Wang Jianjun usually works, he doesn't work hard. He takes women's work points. During slack farming, he occasionally takes time off to go to Linzi Reservoir with like-minded people from the neighboring villages to find bird eggs and fish. Catch a pheasant, rabbit, snake or something and roast it.

Walking around the streets to call friends and friends, the life is so unrestrained.

Anyway, her third uncle's usual behavior, according to the old man in the village, is that he has not grown up, is ignorant, and has no character.

Fortunately, Wang Jianjun's looks are quite bluffing, relying on his thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square and popular appearance, and not being afraid of life, anyone can say a few words, and he can talk to the old lady. Let the aunt in the village take the initiative to go out, match him, and marry Xu Chunsheng's eldest daughter in the village, Xu Qing.

In this village, if the boys want to marry a daughter-in-law, they have to pay special attention to the aunts and aunts. If they think you are good, it is not impossible for them to take the initiative to introduce you.

Xu Qing is Xu Chunsheng's eldest daughter, with an older brother Xu Ziming on top and a younger brother Xu Zihua on the bottom. Since she is only a daughter, she can live well at home, and at most she can only scold her, but if you say how much you love her, that's not enough. .

After all, the people in the village are a little bit more patriarchal. The son belongs to his own family, and he will inherit the incense in the future. Naturally, he should pay more attention to it, and the daughter will eventually marry in the future.

The water poured out by the married daughter will be an outsider after all.

Xu Qing's father and mother hurt her younger brother Xu Zihua the most. Now he is in the second year of junior high at Hongxing Middle School in Shanghongxing Commune in the town. He is a person who will have great prospects in the future and will honor his ancestors.

This matchmaker was made by Xu Qing and her aunt, and the thank-you gift was four red eggs.

When talking about matchmaking at that time, aunt Xu Qing said to Xu Qing like this: "The Wang family has many brothers and many brothers. Although the mother-in-law is strong, she is not unreasonable. The sister-in-law is not difficult to get along with, and the old lady Wang is also the most annoying. Son, you won't be bullied and won't suffer."

"Wang Jianjun's appearance is also lovable. He is not bad, but he is a little uncertain. After giving birth to a child, it will be good for a long time. Live well, and the future will not be worse."

In this way, Xu Qing said that Wang Jianjun was married to the Wang family as his daughter-in-law.

The dowry gift the Wang family gave to the Xu family was eight yuan, a basket of eggs, and three-foot cotton cloth. It was a very sincere dowry at that time, which showed that the Wang family valued Xu Qing.

Although Li Tao was very unhappy for a while after knowing what the betrothal gift was, she naturally didn't feel good about Xu Qing who had just married.

When the Wang family married her Li Tao, they only had 30 catties of sweet potatoes, and nothing else. The bride price for a daughter-in-law was divided into one, two and three.

She didn't even think about what it was like back then. The floods in the south and the droughts in the north were all over the place. God didn't give you food. The 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes given by the Wang family were still squeezed out of the teeth by the Wang family.

Besides, when Su Hongying married Wang Jiandang, she didn't have anything at all. She just walked in the door to live. If she wanted to make it clear, she would be more talkative.

These days, people in the village are not so particular about marriage.

Generally, it is to choose an auspicious day, the bride and groom wear better clothes, invite relatives and friends of the two families to have a meal and a ceremony, and the two families get to know each other, then it becomes a family.

As for the marriage certificate or something, it was not popular at that time, and some people did not have a certificate in their entire life.
