reborn peasant mother

Chapter 8

Feng Yujiang is actually the child bride-in-law of the Zhong family.

No one kept these stories from her, and in this small village, even if the Zhong family kept them from her, the seven aunts and seven aunts would let her know in detail.That was before liberation, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was a fair in the town.A man from Xixiang passed by carrying a rattan basket, and casually took out his two-year-old daughter and sold it for two foreign dollars.He bought a pack of rice cakes with one of the foreign coins and left after eating. No one saw him again.

Zhong's mother saw the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were straight, and she looked pleasing to the eye, thinking that the four sons in the family would grow up and hire a wife, and the bride price was far more than two yuan, so she bought her home and named her Zhong Xiaojiang, and gave it to her six-year-old son Zhong Jipeng. Be a child bride.

Not long after I bought it, the local area was liberated.The cadres came to the door to do work, saying that they were not allowed to raise children and daughters-in-law, and told them to send them back to their natal homes.But Feng Yujiang doesn't even know the names of his parents, so where to send them?The shrewd mother Zhong turned a corner and gave Feng Yujiang to her own sister to raise. She took her brother-in-law's family name Feng and changed her name to Feng Yujiang. .

Father Zhong was killed by a Kuomintang plane on the way before the Huaihai Campaign.Zhong Jipeng is tall and strong, full of strength. He has studied for several years. Later, he was taken care of by the government and arranged to work in a supply and marketing cooperative.It's just that his temper is relatively irritable, and with the child bride's previous relationship, Feng Yujiang has never been out of Zhong Jipeng's hands in his life.

Feng Yujiang is used to cowardice.

The eldest daughter was widowed early, the second daughter was poor and sick, and two children died successively.Each of the three sons also has a hard-to-recite sutra, and Feng Yujiang spent his whole life worrying about it in his previous life.Unexpectedly, if she lived half her life, she would still have to watch her eldest daughter marry into the Wu family.

Feng Yujiang said to herself in her heart, these days, I really can't live like this anymore.

All morning, Feng Yujiang hid in the west room and did not show up.Maybe it was because they received a lot of gift money yesterday, or maybe it was because they heard that the Wu family's wedding was decent and lavish when they sent their daughter back home. Anyway, Mother Zhong was in a good mood, so she ignored Feng Yujiang's lazy behavior.At noon, Feng Yujiang led the family to have lunch, cut some red peppers, fried a bowl of pickles, wrapped a thick stack of sweet potato pancakes, packed up, and sent away Shanzi, who was in middle school in the town.Shanzi usually lives on campus, so he has to bring enough food for a week.

In the evening of the same day, Feng Yujiang went to burn a pot of sweet potato paste, cut two shallots and mixed a plate of pickles, and Zhong Jipeng just came back from get off work.

"The rice is in the pot. You and Mom will eat first. I'll go and see the vegetable garden."

After Feng Yujiang finished explaining, he didn't care about Zhong Jipeng's frown, and called Erya to go out with her.

She went to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden by the river.The production team allocated more than one point of private land to each family. Feng Yujiang's family used it to grow vegetables. It was not far from the east bank of the river. Feng Yujiang remembered it clearly.

Feng Yujiang thought about it, took one step at a time, and took care of the food and drink of the big family in front of him.Although Zhong Jipeng earns a salary of 38 yuan and 6 cents per month, the population is large. Look at the house, rice and white noodles are not common, the land is thin and the village is poor, and the family has a large population. Fresh sweet potato seedlings and pickled vegetables are always on display. at the dinner table.I didn’t think much of it when I experienced it before, and it’s not uncommon for people in the village to be hungry. Let’s compare it!But now Feng Yujiang always felt sad.

She thought, take good care of the vegetable garden in this subdivision, reclaim the river beach next to it, and plant green vegetables, so that a few children can eat well first.

Feng Yujiang really doesn't have extravagant expectations for the "husband and wife relationship", but he can't let go of the relationship between children!
