Siheyuan, I am He Yushui's classmate

Chapter 10 As long as there is life, there is hope

In fact, the Zhao family's preparation was purely a habit like most farmers at the beginning, but after being emphasized by Zhao Jinhe several times, they paid more attention to private storage, and the amount increased a lot, and the types of storage I also added some other things from ordinary sweet potatoes, such as dried sweet potatoes, dried potato powder and sweet potato powder. These things are easier to store for many years. In any case, there is always nothing wrong with being prepared. Even if there is nothing wrong, eat slowly Just be full.

"I also collected some wild soybeans from the mountains, which were specially dried. They were sealed in jars and buried underground in the yard."

My mother suddenly spoke to Zhao Jinhe in a mysterious low voice, with a proud smile on her face.

"I collected them when I went to dig wild vegetables, and other people's homes also have some, so I collected too much!"

"Everyone understands that when it comes to holding food in your hand, the most important thing is to say what you want to say and do what you want to do. Who doesn't have a backup plan in private?"

"I also set up a few snares in the mountains and caught rabbits and pheasants several times, and secretly made them into salted bacon strips. Haha, the quantity is not much, so I will save it slowly! Anyway, I have to prepare it now. It’s been a whole winter without any snow, who still doesn’t know what it means?”

Mr. Zhao smiled a little contentedly. Seeing that the two elderly people in the family listened to his words and started making preparations early, they felt more relieved.

After all, he knew that even if he had known about the so-called "Three Years of Difficulty Period" in his previous life and had made plans early, at present, all materials were purchased and sold under a unified system, and everything was in the era of planned economy, so he actually had nothing to do with it. method.On the contrary, it may be more convenient to be at home in the countryside.

Store a little secretly, and no one will report it, because the vast majority of people in the village do this secretly, but the number depends on the individual's thoughts.

Most of the people in the village fled here from other places. Although more than ten or twenty years have passed, everyone's true character is still slowly understood. Only some of the married people are more understanding and trustworthy.For example, Zhao Jinhe’s grandfather’s house.

"Uncle's house..."

"Don't worry about your uncles' families. I went over and whispered the beginning. Not only did they not let me continue, they also scolded me and told me to go home quietly and go to bed. I must not talk nonsense in the future. If your father hadn't said that it meant they were already prepared, I would have been a little angry."

"Why are you angry? This just shows that my aunt and uncle really care for you! They are not outsiders!"

"That's right, didn't you say that you were still raised by your sister-in-law? What's the point of being said a few words by them? Didn't you come back after eating a sweet egg soup in the end?"

"No matter how nice you are to me, isn't it right? Those are my eldest brother and sister-in-law! Dear! You can't envy me even if you want to."

The old lady of the Zhao family retorted with some embarrassment, with a smug look.

Zhao Jinhe understood. In fact, he was treated very well every time he went to his uncle's house.Every time I eat sugar-watered eggs with my cousin.That is a treatment that only they have.Moreover, their family was able to gain a foothold here back then with the help of their uncle's family. Although they were not too wealthy, at least they had their own land and could go to work in the city to earn money during their spare time.

Just like his study, he has received strong support from his uncle's family, otherwise, where would he have a chance?Looking at the ragged clothes of the whole family, I also know that the family had no savings at all, that is, the land was distributed a few years ago.

"Father, brother, we are back."

The second child, Zhao Jinhu, and the third child, Zhao Jinhai, are back with their fourth sister, Lan Xiang!All of them looked like they were licking their breasts and belly, and you could tell at a glance that they had eaten too much.

But it doesn't matter, it is the fastest growing age, no matter how many things can be digested and absorbed, every day is either working or on the way to work, and now the school in the village has become half a day studying and half a day working, and encountering There are also holidays during the busy farming season.Maybe labor is more time than study.

This is also one of the reasons why rural children are generally not as good at learning as urban students!
Hobbies don’t even exist anymore. I just go to work when I have time. Learning is something that happens in school. After you leave school, you need to work hard. In today’s era where labor is the glory, no one dares to be lazy. , unless it’s a second-rate guy.

Looking at the second and third brothers and younger sisters who came in, they all had a very satisfied look on their faces. After eating in the cafeteria for more than a month, their faces had a rosy glow, which was more in line with the appearance they should have at this age.

"Yes, it seems that you are all doing well during this time. I'm relieved that your life is going well!"

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao didn’t feel surprised when they heard this. They have long been used to the appearance of their eldest son, who looks like the head of the family. Anyway, he has always been the one who criticizes and educates younger brothers and sisters at home. On the contrary, they As parents, most of them dote on their children instead of beating and scolding them. The most mistakes they do are to be criticized and educated, and beatings and scolding are almost never.

This way of getting along is not only accepted by them as parents, but Zhao Jinhe's younger siblings are also used to it.

"Old Zhao's children can't become talented unless they are beaten! Go home and give them a good beating so that they can remember better!"

There were many people in the village who couldn't stand it. From time to time, someone would persuade the couple like this, but they always happily did not object or obey. They just laughed a few times and did whatever they should do.

On the one hand, they are all a little old, and they are reluctant to beat and scold their children. On the other hand, Mr. Zhao insists on being reasonable when he can, and never beats a child easily. Beating a child is definitely a habit. It may not have any effect after passing.

And the old lady at home has never been beaten by the old man. This is very unusual in the village where people beat their wives when they have nothing to do.

Uncles Zhao Jinhe could scold Mr. Zhao for not being a good farmer, not even able to support his own wife and children, but they had to admit that Mr. Zhao was really nice to their unreasonable younger sister.

"Erhu, Sanhai, Lanxiang, after the Chinese New Year, I will go to work in the factory. From now on, I will come back even less at home. If you have time, help your parents with more work. Dad is really not young. Now, and my mother is in this situation again. I will send you some of it back after I get paid. Anyway, the school does not have as many classes as before. There is no difference between working in the school and working in the village. Try to pay attention to it. Safety……"

Zhao Jinhe didn't expect that he would be so verbose. He felt like he was in the state of old age in his previous life, while his younger siblings were as young and ignorant as his own children, so they talked a lot without knowing it.

Mr. Zhao and the old lady didn't feel annoyed at all when they heard that. This is what they are really like. The train runs fast because of the headband!
As long as there is a good role model in the family, the other children will not be far behind!
What's so scary about living a tight life?In five or six years, when the children are all grown up, who dares not to admit that their family is enjoying a good life?So what if I'm in rags?People live with hope, as long as they have hope...
