good old days

Chapter 4 Where's Chen Yi

Jiang Jianmin ignored the naughty old lady Li, and looked at the old man Jiang who was smoking dry tobacco at the door, "Dad, if mom makes trouble again, we will separate. I am the boss, and you two will follow me. My daughter, you are not qualified either." Marry her to someone else. Now is not the past, there is no such thing as an arranged marriage, you two should think about it carefully. "

Mrs. Li screamed again, cursing her unfilial son.

The eldest married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and he didn't even have a son. Even if the family was separated, they would not follow the eldest.

But when the family is separated, Chen Xiuyun's subsidy will not fall to the public, and Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xinyu's bride price will not be able to subsidize the family in the future. How can it be divided!

Hearing Mrs. Li's "Aww", Old Man Jiang shouted, "Shut up, there's not enough trouble, just let others listen to jokes."

Jiang Jianmin didn't bother to watch his father put on a show.

After so many years at home, he already knew what his father and mother looked like.His mother always takes the lead, and his father is silent behind him, but he knows that his father is the head of the family. Without his father's permission, his mother would not make such a fuss. It can be seen that this marriage, his father was originally the same. No comments.

Jiang Jianmin glanced at the two younger siblings, making them chatter, and then he carried his things and went to the town to withdraw from the marriage.

But after going there, he didn't come back that night, and Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Xinyu saw it in the river when they were looking for someone.

It is cold in winter. There is a river from the town to the village, which is frozen. Many people will dig a hole to catch fish and eat meat. During the day, there are children from the village playing on it. No one thought that the middle place It will crack, and Jiang Jianmin will die quietly in the glacier.

Jiang Jianmin was already out of breath by the time he tried his best to bring him up, and he froze.

The sisters Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu were out of breath from crying.

Mrs. Li and Old Man Jiang also cried.

Selfishness is selfishness, but Jiang Jianmin is the eldest son of the two after all, how could he have no feelings?When the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person, Mrs. Li collapsed.

Mrs. Li beat and kicked Jiang Xinyu, saying that her son would not have died if it hadn't been for her.

Jiang Xinyu blamed herself very much, and she regretted it all the time, if she agreed to the Yao family's marriage, her father would not have brought a gift to withdraw the marriage, and he would not have died.

Except for Jiang Yuzhu, everyone in the Jiang family regarded her as a sinner, and the way they looked at her made her wish she could go with her father.

The third aunt Zhang Fengmei even said bluntly that if she agreed, her father would not die!Jiang Baoqin also said regretfully while comforting her: "Don't feel bad, uncle did all this for you. Although uncle is gone, as long as you are good, he will definitely have no regrets."

How can Jiang Xinyu be better?
Even she herself thought that if she was willing, her father would not have died if he hadn't withdrawn the engagement, and it was all her fault.

On the night of Jiang Jianmin's burial, Jiang Xinyu went to the river north of the village, made a bigger hole in the hole dug by the villagers, and then jumped into it.

Jiang Xinyu didn't know that when she went to the north of the village, a figure followed her, watching someone go there, and stopped them.

When she woke up again, she was the Jiang Xinyu of the modern soul.

Jiang Xinyu only felt that she slept very restlessly this time, and her dream was a mess. Seeing Mrs. Li screaming there, she wished she could give the old lady a kick.

Jiang Jianmin was a good father. Could his death depend on the original owner?The Jiang family didn't dare to blame Mrs. Li, so they caught the original owner and bullied her.

When Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes, it was dark outside.Before going to bed, I was so hot that I felt uncomfortable, but now I feel much more comfortable, but because of profuse sweating, I just want to take a hot bath.

The musty smell from the quilt on her body told her that everything that happened today was not a dream. Her soul traveled to the countryside in 1976, and she became a well-known village girl from all over the world, and her father just died.

She thought of her own grandfather, and didn't know how uncomfortable it would be to hear the news of her car accident.

I don't know where Chen Yi went.

She didn't forget the way he pulled himself over and hugged her head to protect his chest when the truck hit him.

Jiang Xinyu had a urge to urinate, sat up and put on a padded jacket in the dark, ready to solve her physical problems.

Now it is early January in the Gregorian calendar, just a few days after New Year's Day, and the weather is still very cold. Lao Jiang's family is not in high spirits and nests in the house after the funeral.

Jiang Xinyu went out of the courtyard and found the unbearable toilet. She was afraid that she would fall if she stepped on the wooden plank. It was too dark, and she was also afraid that she would step on the wrong place, and went to the toilet tremblingly.

From the memory of the original owner, Jiang Xinyu learned that pig manure and human manure these days are all farm manure, which is to be sprinkled into the fields, and work points will be given according to the amount. Almost every household will dig a hole Put an earth embryo bucket, put two pieces of wood on it, and then surround a fence post, and a simple toilet is ready.

Jiang Xinyu walked out of the latrine holding her breath, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw two people squatting in front of the stove, where sporadic fires were lit, and the scent of sweet potatoes came from inside.

Refined grains are not easy to come by these days, but sweet potatoes are often eaten.

Seeing her, Jiang Yuzhu beckoned, and then used a fire stick to pull out a sweet potato, "Little girl, come here to warm up, and eat the sweet potatoes when they are not too hot."

Jiang Yuzhu hasn't had much to eat at Jiang's house these days, and Jiang Pandi from the second aunt's house left her a bun. The fine food in the house was locked up by Mrs. Li, and only The sweet potatoes piled there can be baked and eaten.

Jiang Pandi looked at Jiang Xinyu, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked, "Fever gone?"

Jiang Xinyu stretched out her hand to bake in front of the stove, and said "hmm".

Jiang Pandi felt that it was cold outside, so she shrank her neck and said, "I'm going back to sleep, you two should go back soon, or you'll be freezing again, and you'll have to spend money."

Jiang Pandi left, and the two sisters roasted for a while, and the sweet potato could be held in her hands. Jiang Yuzhu handed the sweet potato to Jiang Xinyu, and asked her to take it back to the house, and she went back with the tea bottle.

After returning to the house, Jiang Yuzhu took out the peach cake wrapped in yellow paper from the bedside, put three pieces in a bowl, then ran it with the hot water in the tea bottle, and handed it to Jiang Xinyu.

This peach cake was bought by Chen Xiuyun from the supply and marketing agency before she left and secretly put it in her daughter's house. If Mrs. Li found out, they would definitely lose it.

"You must be hungry, drink it while it's hot, it'll be good soon."

Jiang Xinyu saw that Jiang Yuzhu took out another corn bread with many black spots from her arms, which was made of sorghum noodles, sweet potato noodles and corn flour.

This kind of steamed buns belonged to miscellaneous grains in later generations, which are fat-reducing and nutritious, but now, they are eaten by most people. Steamed buns made of white flour are rare items, and they are not willing to eat them several times a year.

The peach cakes softened in the hot water, and the sweet potatoes exuded a sweet smell. Jiang Yuzhu ate the steamed buns bit by bit.

Jiang Xinyu felt really uncomfortable in her heart, the original owner, the second sister, is really a very good sister.
