Chapter 90 Brothers
Not to mention that Zhen Xiaoer was worried that his family was short of food and could only drink to fill his stomach, even Zhao Lanfang frowned when he saw that half of the house was piled with food.

In previous years, there were two laborers in the family, Zhen Dahai and Zhen Youqin, plus the winter melon, pumpkin, cabbage and radishes in the family's private plot, it would have piled up the hall of the family to the full and couldn't fit it.

Now that Zhen Youqin's food for a season is missing, the family is half short. In addition, when the son gets married and needs to serve wine, it will cost another sum of money.

It seems that we can only buy food quietly.

At this time, Zhen Baoqiang came in pushing a wheelbarrow, and shouted with a smile: "Mother, Meili asked me to bring all her rations."

Zhao Lanfang was overjoyed at first, but when she saw that the coarse grain on it would not exceed two hundred catties, she almost couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Just this little wheat? Are you sure the accountant did the calculation correctly? How can there be enough grain for the next season? "

Now it can be said that most of the officials are very clean and honest, and they follow the example, and the vast majority of the village cadres in the team dare not act recklessly.

The accountant in the brigade was even more worried that he would accidentally miscalculate the number, so he specially asked a few male educated youths to help check it, and he would never make a mistake.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't hear her sarcasm. Zhen Baoqiang said with a smile: "Mother, how could you make a mistake? Meili has only been here for a few months, and she has paid a lot of rations and less work points. How much do you think you can get?" Food?"

Although he was telling the truth, Zhao Meili still raised her hand and slapped her, her watery peach eyes slanted, she was very charming and charming: "What are you talking about, do you dislike me for not being capable enough? You can also talk to me The work points are about the same, but the other party didn't mention her."

"Hey, I didn't say that you have less work points!" Zhen Baoqiang still liked her very much, and quickly coaxed her with a smile: "Besides, I have a job, and even if you don't have to go to work in the future, I will eat rice every day." Can feed you."

Although his salary is less than [-] yuan a month, the rice now only costs about [-] cents a catty, and he can indeed afford rice.

But when Zhao Lanfang heard this, she felt that the old saying was good, married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother, and their family often ate Erhe noodles steamed buns or sorghum rice. It's not that they don't like rice, but they are reluctant to eat it. cooked rice.

But the son only thought about the vixen.

This daughter-in-law didn't take herself seriously before she entered the house. It was really annoying.

She didn't even think about why her mother-in-law didn't like her when she entered the door.

"Seeing that your wedding is about to be held, the food is not enough, Baoqiang, you and I will go to the neighbor's house and ask."

After Zhao Lanfang finished speaking, she directed Zhao Meili: "Go and tidy up the vegetable field behind, and put the hoe over there."

Although Zhao Meili was not very willing to work and wanted to go out for a walk with them, she still didn't dare to disobey her future mother-in-law's words, so she agreed and went to work.

Zhen Baoqiang asked, "Where's dad?"

"Go to the mountain to saw trees." Zhao Lanfang looked at her son worriedly: "Your father is getting older every year, and now you have to be sensible to drive your elder brother out of the house for you. Your father should do more work, he is busy making charcoal now, isn't it for you?"

"You see, our family never had to buy food before. Now that he leaves home, he has less labor, so he can only go out to buy food with the cheek."

"When you get married, you will have to support another person in your family. I think Meili is so delicate, and she doesn't seem to be able to work. I won't embarrass her even for your sake."

"However, you have to pick up the burden of the family, lest your father regret his original decision in his heart, and lest he say that I didn't teach you well."

In fact, Zhen Baoqiang is willing to listen to his mother most of the time. It can be said that he lived to be 19 years old, and he still clings to his mother because he likes Zhao Meili so much.

Now after listening to her words, I instantly felt that I was the pillar of the family, and said with a straight chest: "Mother, don't worry, I will hand over to you when I get paid."

"Hey, my old son is really sensible." Zhao Lanfang praised her son all the time, and while there was no one around, she told him in a low voice: "Son, mother told you, when you get married, don't drink too much wine, lest..."

Zhen Baoqiang didn't expect his mother to tell him these unspeakable things, he was ashamed and annoyed, and blushed instantly: "Mother, what are you talking about! Beautiful, she is not the kind of casual person!"

"Mother also hopes that you are well, but you also know that she is good-looking, but unfortunately her temper is too lively. Mother is worried that you will be fooled by her if you don't understand."

Zhao Lanfang glared at her son: "I'm your mother, can I still harm you? Remember what I told you."

"I know it's okay!"

...

Winter has not yet arrived, and the fields look bare.

Although they have a lot of desolate flat land and relatively few deep mountains and wild forests, Lu Dazhu's hometown can be regarded as a deep mountain and wild forest with steep mountain roads. There are blind bears, wild boars, roe deer, and wolves.

Just like near Nanshanwu, there are continuous high and low hills. It is not easy to grow food on the hills, but there are a lot of wood and so on.

A few years ago, the hungry eyes of the team members were all green, and the hares, pheasants, and wild fruits that could be found on the mountain had long been filled by everyone.

Even the hares and pheasants that were not caught were frightened by humans, and now they have become much smarter, and it is not easy to catch them.

However, if everyone wants to eat meat, their brains are flexible, and they use ropes to set traps or dig traps, so that they can occasionally hunt pheasants and hares to add to their dishes.

If you are lucky, you can still pick up some mushrooms, but the weather is too cold now, so there are not many pine mushrooms and meat mushrooms.

Now after the autumn harvest, there is nothing else to do except digging ditches or digging the ground. When everyone is free, they run up the mountain more diligently.

In order to avoid them, Zhen Youqin would usually go further away to cut trees in the mountains.

When he and Zhen Xiaoerzi were sawing trees, they heard someone snort coldly: "Zhen Youqin, you really are restless again! Didn't you hear the captain say that you are not allowed to cut down trees? You want to live in a free house for a few days Did you eat free meals?"

Zhen Xiaoer turned his head to look at the sturdy man approaching with a straight face not far away, he trembled with fright, and recognized him as Zhen Weigang, a militiaman from the village, and looked at his brother in panic.

"What a coincidence, I was looking for you!" Zhen Youqin patted his younger brother on the shoulder, wiped the sweat on his face with a towel with several holes hanging around his neck, and walked towards the road where he couldn't see him at all. : "I want to ask you to help me with something!"

According to the requirements of the above, Nanshanwu selected two militiamen to maintain the law and order in the village, and also to manage some educated youths and devolved personnel.

Zhen Weigang's uncle was an accountant in Nanshanwu. His son died a few years ago, and his two daughters were married, so he adopted his younger brother's youngest son, Zhen Weigang, as his son.

Accountant Zhen loved his little nephew originally, but now that his little nephew has become his own son, it was naturally for him, so he left a spot in the militia to Zhen Weigang.

The reason for the conflict between Zhen Weigang and Zhen Youqin is because of jealousy.

Zhen Wei just liked Liu Yanyan, the niece of the captain's wife, but Liu Yanyan fell in love with Zhen Youqin.

Although the relationship between them failed due to various reasons, the suffocated hatred was always remembered in his heart.

In the past two years, when the two met, either Zhen Weigang would be sarcastic or sarcastic, and Zhen Youqin would say whatever he wanted like a deaf person.

Or if you saw it, you pretended you didn't see it. Now that Zhen Youqin was talking to himself, it was Zhen Weigang's turn to become vigilant, and he took two steps back: "You, what do you want to do? Do you want to bully the few with the more, and bully the weak with the strong?"

It's not that he's timid, it's that he knows in his heart that he can't beat him, and he can't go too far here. What if he can't stand his provocation and is ready to kill him?
Although he knew that this possibility was very small, the possibility of him beating himself up was very high.

At this time, he regretted why he was so curious and followed them into the mountain secretly. Because he didn't dare to get too close, he searched for more than half an hour before finding them.

Damn, curiosity killed the cat, this is terrible.

Zhen Xiaoer was originally planning to run away, but seeing him as a big man, he seemed to have turned into a little lady facing bullies.

The scene changed too fast, and it was very eye-catching to watch. Zhen Xiaoer also became curious, picked up the saw and started sawing the trees, and listened to them with his ears up.

"Look at you, it's just because of that little thing at the beginning, why have you been arguing with me for so long?"

Zhen Youqin took out a pack of cigarettes from the open pocket of his clothes, took it out and handed him one, and took one for himself, then lit him first with a match and then lit yourself.

Zhen Youqin took a deep breath of the cigarette, and after exhaling a string of smoke rings, he stared at him and said, "I was very sad at the beginning, because you didn't understand me so much! You are sorry for me!"

"You fart!" Zhen Weigang was so angry that he forgot that he couldn't beat him, and stared at him angrily: "I'm sorry for you!"

"How dare you say that!" Zhen Youqin also stared at him, his eyes were much sharper than his: "It is said that brothers and wives should not be bullied, just because you like her, I won't look at her more, or I will become someone Already!"

"And you, you came here to threaten me with our brotherhood to marry her? Tell me, who do you think I am?"

"Even if I'm a bachelor all my life, I won't marry her! You don't treat me as a brother because of a woman, tell me, are you right for me!"

"You still fight with me because of her. You said, who do you think of me in your heart? Is she more important than me after she has only known you for a few days? "

"For the sake of a woman, you don't want brothers, you are really promising!"

"..." This word, every sentence, made Zhen Weigang feel moved, regretted, and guilty when he heard it. He didn't expect Zhen Youqin to ignore him because of this.

He also felt very wronged, Liu Yanyan was his first love, but he liked her to death, but she fell in love with his good brother.

God knows how shocked and sad he was at that time, and he couldn't help but secretly cried several times under the covers.

In the end, he still felt that he wanted to fulfill them.

At the beginning, I obviously wanted to be a good person and do good deeds, why did he say that, as if I had become sorry for him?

He couldn't help but defend himself: "At the beginning, I also had good intentions, thinking of the beauty of adults, I..."

Zhen Youqin looked angry: "So you want me to do something that I'm sorry for you? As long as you like her, I will treat her as your wife. Do you know that your behavior is to stab a knife in my chest!"

In his accusing eyes, Zhen Weigang said weakly: "It's my fault, don't be angry, okay?"

She looked at him with resentment again: "Hmph, then why have you ignored me for so long?"

"Didn't I go to help you marry a wife?" Zhen Youqin seemed to remember something sad: "But you ignored me, my family was in the same situation at that time, and you adopted your uncle again, I'm afraid it will drag you down!"

He raised his head and looked at him again: "Now that I can be the master of my own family, and you have a family and a career, I will ask you, do you still think I am your brother!"

"It's necessary!" Zhen Weigang didn't expect him to think so much, and his eyes were red: "We are good brothers for a lifetime, and I will never be self-righteous again in the future!"

In the past few years, they were still young and vigorous, with wild tempers, relying on their strength, they often fought with others.

And Zhen Baoqiang was beaten up several times by him, and Zhao Lanfang frowned when he saw them, which made the relationship between the two families not good.

It was true that Zhen Youqin was scorned by Zhao Lanfang on the beach of Zhen Dahai, and was threatened by Lao Tzu not to play with Zhen Weigang.

He didn't agree, but the stepmother said that she went out to fight when she was full, and even the second girl couldn't get enough to eat after every meal, so he compromised.

Zhen Xiaoer was stunned when he saw the man hugging his eldest brother from the side.

Haohaojie told herself in private that her elder brother was not allowed to have close contact with other women. Now it is a man who is in close contact with her elder brother. I don't know if she minds?

Zhen Youqin patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, I watched you give birth to a son, and I was very happy for you, really!"

False, he was jealous at the time.

After all, I didn't even have a partner at that time, but he married a wife and gave birth to a son. The road ahead was paved for him, and he didn't need anything. I was so sore.

Zhen Weigang couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, my daughter-in-law is pretty good, and my eldest baby is also pretty strong!"

Looking at him again, he said, "Aren't you going to marry Jia Zhiqing? Don't you have the money in your hand? I have saved more than 100 yuan, and I will send it to you later."

"By the way, do you have enough food for your family? My family has distributed more than 500 catties of wheat, so you can take a few bags if you want!"

He is so happy now that he doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't care at all when his food and money will be returned: "Also, I heard that the village will exaggerate the number of militiamen, so you will count as one when the time comes? Earn money without delay." Work points, a few dollars can be subsidized every month, and some food can be subsidized every season, which is really good.”

This made Zhen Youqin hear it in his heart: "Okay, I will go to the captain's house and your house later, and ask the captain and the accountant to pay attention to me."
