reborn peasant mother

Chapter 23

Zhong Chuanxiu silently followed Wu Shuanggui away.

Feng Yujiang withdrew his distant gaze, looked at Dongzi, and asked, "Dongzi, how is your grandma?"

"When it's cold, my legs won't work anymore, and I'm still panting. I don't know if I can survive this winter..." Dongzi lowered his eyes.

Feng Yujiang comforted: "When people are old, their health will not be very good. With you taking care of them, it will be fine until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom."

"Yeah. Aunt, uncle, grandma," Dongzi looked down at his toes, called Mother Zhong and Zhong Jipeng, and said, "I'm going back first."

"Go back quickly!" Feng Yujiang said.

Watching Dongzi walking away, Mother Zhong snorted through her nose and scolded Feng Yujiang: "Don't talk to his family, you are full of poverty, and the master borrows money and the west borrows food all day long, but I don't see it and return it to others." Bar!"

Feng Yujiang didn't answer, turned around and went back to the house.

After sending Chuanxiu away, Feng Yujiang went to the Westinghouse to search for a long time, and finally found a bag of spinach seeds.She called Erya to plant spinach on her private plot.

"Mom, won't you freeze to death?"

"It won't freeze to death, and spinach is frost-resistant. You have nothing to do with Gangzi to plan more grass, and when the vegetables grow out, cover them with hay. They won't freeze to death. You can eat them as soon as spring begins."

Feng Yujiang planted a piece of land in his private plot, then went down to the river beach, leveled a large piece of land neatly, sprinkled a few handfuls of spinach seeds, and then covered it with soil.This kind of species may not be willing to grow now, it is cold after all, but as long as it does not freeze to death, there will be vegetables to eat when it turns green in spring.

"Mom, it's useless for you to plant here. If it's not in our field, others will dig it." Erya called again.

"Let it go, anyway, there are a lot of seeds, and others dig a little, but it's not as good as the ones left at home." She changed the subject while talking.

"Ah, you go to school tomorrow."

Feng Yujiang had never been to school, and not many girls in the village who were about the same age went to school, let alone a child bride bought for two yuan.After liberation, she went to the lamp school for a while, which is a literacy class run by the government. Because the lamps are always lit for teaching at night, the common people vividly call it "the lamp study".

Let's learn from this lamp, the ages are uneven, there are half-grown children leading younger siblings, and a young daughter-in-law is holding a baby, and the room is noisy, and the effect can be imagined.Feng Yujiang persisted in learning for a long time, and only knew some simple and common words, even guessing and guessing, and could barely understand some simple short articles, such as notices in the village.

Da Ya went to school until the third grade, and she couldn't go to school, so she dropped out of school to work with her.Er Ya entered the first grade at the age of nine and studied for two years, but Mother Zhong was not happy.Once when she came home to ask for 8 yuan for tuition, she was scolded by Zhong's mother, and the stubborn girl simply stopped studying.Feng Yujiang was not in charge of the family, and Zhong Jipeng didn't care.

At that time, few rural girls went to school, and there was no age limit.The daughter of Lao Liu, the neighbor behind her house, was 16 years old when she was in the fourth grade. She went out to her husband's family within a few days after dropping out of school.

Erya is 12 years old, Feng Yujiang wants to enroll her in the third grade, and talk to the teacher at the school, she should be able to have her.

Feng Yujiang was determined to send Erya back to school.She can't let her daughter be as blind as she is, marry a farmer who is also uneducated tomorrow, and live in a pot.Whoever stops her, she will fight desperately!

"I want to send Erya to school tomorrow. Gangzi should also be sent along. I'm a thief at home."

When I went back at night, Feng Yujiang said so at the dinner table.

Mother Zhong rolled her eyelids, looked at Zhong Jipeng with a cold face, and said angrily: "Little girl, after two years of school, it's not good? What's the difference between studying at home for a few more years and getting married in the future? It’s a good way of life. The eldest is her age, and she has learned to bake pancakes. The second is so old, but she can’t do anything. When she goes out to her in-law’s house, she can’t do this, she can’t do that, and she won’t beat her up. kill her."

Er Ya put down her chopsticks, cocked her neck, and confronted Mother Zhong boldly.
