Rebirth of Everyday Life In the 1970s

After eating the running water table, we sent away the guests who came to congratulate me. With the help of relatives and neighbors, the Chen family returned the tables, chairs and chopsticks they had borrowed to the host one after another, and these people who helped us ate dinner... It was late at night when the courtyard door was closed.

With the help of her son and daughter-in-law, Chen Er's sister-in-law summed up the gifts sent by the guests one by one. Among them, the most practical and generous ones are the warm water bottles, enamel basins, and towels sent by the leaders of the second grandson. The second thing is the small stack of red books on the table, which was sent by her second grandson’s colleague, containing more or less fifty or six cents of cash or a small denomination of food stamps or cloth tickets.

The rest is a handful of wild vegetables, five or six eggs, a few crucian carp, a small piece of cloth...everything you can’t handle.

Seeing this, Chen Er's sister-in-law was not annoyed. First, she was already prepared to lose money. This is the second time, there is really no need to care about it in a good day. The most important thing is, who didn't come here like this!

When the old man in her family died of illness, he couldn't even find a copper plate at home, and there were three and a half-year-old children waiting to be fed. She was also cheeky at the time, holding wild vegetables and taking a family of young and old to the house of the wedding affair. Although it was shameless, and there were a lot of people secretly pointing and pointing, no one would really care about anything. .

Thinking of it now, I just compare my heart to my heart.

But now it's different. The time has come. The Chen family is the first wealthy family in Yuexi Village.

Except for her youngest daughter who married a dog and was killed at a young age, her eldest son was the leader of the production brigade in the village, like a snake. The youngest son works as a salesperson in the county's supply and marketing agency. Three of the eight grandchildren went to the factory or the army to eat royal food, and five were still studying.

It can be said that when her old lady kicks her legs, her old Chen family can be considered as a replacement for the courtyard, from the mud-legs of the countryside to the decent urbanites.

The one who married today is the eldest son of her youngest daughter and her second grandson. After her little daughter had an accident that year, she adopted her two sons. This dazzling one, ten years have passed.

Chen Er's sister-in-law was humming the country tune, thinking about whether the pile of hill-like wild vegetables in the kitchen should be pickled or dried. Then he turned his head and saw the second grandson and his wife twisted and looked around, not ashamed.

Chen Er's sister-in-law slapped her thigh fiercely, the pleats on her face turned into a flower, and she reproached herself: "Look at me, patronizing things and sorting things, eh...what are you husband and wife doing in a daze? Why do you go, leave us alone."

The old man said euphemistically. The teenagers next to him instantly beamed their eyes and roared with a small voice: "Oh, the bridal chamber, the bridal chamber..."

Chen Shi blushed and cleared his throat: "The grandmother, the uncle and the aunt, the second uncle and the aunt," he took the new wife's little hand: "We will go back to the room first."

"Go!" Chen Er's sister-in-law waved a big hand.

Several boys jumped off the stool and followed.

After finally dismissing a few cousins, Chen Shi pulled the latch, and looked back at the new wife who was sitting on the bedside with a heartbeat.

He scratched his hair and looked at the oil lamp on the table with burning eyes: "Xiao Cui, let's rest!"

A blush drifted across Liu Cui's face, and her heart was upset: "...I, I, Chen Shi, I'm a little thirsty."

"Then I'll pour you a glass of water." Chen Shi readily agreed, turned around and walked to the table, picked up a small porcelain bowl, and picked up the thermos on the ground to prepare to pour water.

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew over.

Chen Shi shrank his neck subconsciously, and then said to himself: "Didn't I close the door?"

He looked at the door of the room, which was latched securely.

illusion?

Chen Shi shrugged, put down the kettle, and picked up the porcelain bowl: "The water is a bit hot. Drink it slowly."

With that, he turned around and walked towards Liu Cui.

Liu Cui lowered her head, motionless.

"Xiao Cui?" Chen Shi did not doubt that he was there, and brought water to Liu Cui's eyes.

I saw Liu Cui slowly raising her head with an unknown gloom in her eyes. She grinned, looking at Chen Shi, and slowly said with a hoarse male voice: "Zhao Shi, I haven't seen you in ten years, you grow up I'm married to a daughter-in-law!"

At first hearing this voice, Chen Shi's mind flashed through scenes that had happened when he was a child-his violent father, his mother curled up on the ground begging for mercy, and his younger brother who was hiding in a corner shivering in a hug.

The panic from the heart rushed to the cerebral cortex, Chen Shi shook his hands, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a slap, torn apart.

He trembled and said, "Xiao Cui, today is a great day for us to get married. Don't scare me..."

"Liu Cui"'s face sank: "Zhao Shi, don't you even recognize your father?"

Speaking of this, he paused and watched Chen Shi's eyes become gloomy. He said in a cold voice, "That's right, your surname is Chen now, not Zhao. You don't recognize me as a real father. You two little beasts who have forgotten their ancestors."

Chen Shi staggered back a few steps, and was shattered by luck. In this moment of effort, the fear on his face turned into indignation.

Regardless of the others, Chen Shi pointed to'Liu Cui', "Zhao Cheng, you have been dead for ten years, why don't you let us go?"

"I let you go? Have you forgotten how the old Chen family treated me!" Zhao Cheng said viciously, "If it weren't for the old Chen family's lack of affection, how could I be sent to prison and shot. I am. I’m fine if I die, but I’m your own father anyway, and you didn’t even come to collect the corpse. As a result, I was swept up in a ragged straw mat and thrown into the mass grave."

"At that time, my life was not exhausted, and my soul was trapped in jail. As a result, my body was taken away by wild dogs. For two years, I suffered every day until my body was gnawed by dogs. I was finally free when I swallowed it into my stomach." Zhao Cheng gritted his teeth: "Now my life has expired and I am free from the shackles of prison. Before I go to the underworld, I must make your old Chen family pay the price."

Chen Shigai had a crack, "Zhao Cheng, what happened back then is clearly that you deserved your sins, if you didn't kill your mother—"

Chen Shi was furious, and the corner of his eye fell on the bench at his feet. He bent over sharply, raised the bench, and shouted, "I killed you—"

But I didn't want to. At the next moment, the figure of "Liu Cui" sitting on the edge of the bed flashed and appeared in front of Chen Shi, tightly pinching Chen Shi's neck with one hand, and slowly lifting him up.

The bench in Chen Shi's hand slammed on the ground with a thud. He tiptoe, flushed, and beat the arm of'Liu Cui' with both hands, struggling desperately.

'Liu Cui' squinted, "Little beast, you want to kill me. You are not capable of this. I will give you three days. Within three days, I will see your two brothers set up a burial mound for me and return to Zhao's family to recognize my ancestors. Return to Zong, give me two hundred yuan of paper money. From now on, I will honor my tablet honestly, and put up offerings during festivals. Once it's done, maybe I will be kind, so I will let him go. ."

…

In the main hall of the Chen family, under the oil lamp, Chen Er's sister-in-law was wiping the sleeping little granddaughter's buttocks.

Suddenly heard the sound of a broken porcelain bowl coming from the opposite side, Chen Er's sister-in-law stopped her hand movement and shook her face with a smile on her face.

These young people are really...

She wrung out the towel in her hand and put on the pants for the little granddaughter. How could she have thought that after a short while, she heard his second grandson yelling furiously: "I'll kill you—"

What?

Chen Er's sister-in-law was dumbfounded, how could she still be involved in fighting and killing her in a good day?

What's wrong with this young couple!

Chen Er's sister-in-law panicked, stuffed the little granddaughter into the hands of the elder daughter-in-law, and hurried out.

Her two sons were also heard.

Walking to the door of Chen Shi's room, Chen Er's sister-in-law raised her hand and knocked on the door, carefully asking: "Ashi, what happened to the two of you?"

No one in the room spoke, only a violent cough was heard.

"Ashi, Xiao Cui?" Chen Er's sister-in-law patted the door and shouted loudly, becoming more and more panicked.

Seeing this, the two brothers of the Chen family were also flustered. They opened the second sister-in-law of Chen and directly knocked on the door.

After a few clicks, only a bang was heard, the door slammed open, and the sight of everyone was Chen Shi, who was curled up on the ground and clutching his throat, coughing violently. When he raised his head again, Liu Cui half-kneeled on the side of the bed, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"Ashi." Chen Er's sister-in-law looked panicked and quickly helped Chen Shi up.

The Chen family eldest stepped forward to help Liu Cui, only to see Liu Cui's face was green, his breathing was weak, and his mouth was foaming, and he had fainted.

Ignoring the others, he yelled anxiously: "Quickly, go to the clinic and invite Dr. He over, my nephew and daughter-in-law are okay."

Hearing this, the second child of the Chen family turned around and was about to run out, as if thinking of something, he turned around again and said anxiously: "Big brother, Mr. He, my old lady has passed his life. He is going home, now in the clinic. No one is here."

The second sister-in-law of Chen who came back to her senses suddenly saw this scene and became anxious: "Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up, set the car, and send the grandson-in-law to the county hospital."

After having been in trouble for most of the night, he was finally sent to the hospital, and the doctor was brought in for a look. Fortunately, Liu Cui seemed to be weak and not worried about his life.

After a false alarm, the hearts held by the Chen family finally let go.

Chen Er's sister-in-law was relieved and looked at Chen Shi who was also relieved. Her eyes were red. She couldn't believe that the grandson she raised up would be a scumbag who beat her daughter-in-law. She stamped her feet and said with hatred. : "You said, what the **** is going on?"

But I don't want Chen Shi to shake all over, remembering what happened before, and then his face whitened, crying: "Grandma, it's Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng is back."

"Zhao Cheng?" In addition to Chen Er's sister-in-law and her two sons who also lost their voices.

How could it be, isn't Zhao Cheng dead?

Chen Shi stumbled and explained the ins and outs of the matter with the purple pinch on his neck.

"Bastard." Chen's second child punched the wall with one fist.

"What should I do now?" Chen Shi cried a face: "Do you really want to listen to him and get him some clothes?"

"No." Chen Er's sister-in-law objected angrily: "Did you forget, my Xiaoqing, how did your sister die?"

As she said, she covered her mouth, her voice choked up.

"But—" Chen's second child frowned.

At this moment, the boss of the Chen family walked in, clutching his head.

"What's wrong?" Everyone's eyes fell on the **** forehead of the Chen family boss.

"Stop talking." The boss of the Chen family frowned, "I went to the bathroom just now, and one of them fell to the ground and knocked."

"It's so serious, I think I'd better ask a doctor to come and bandage you." The second son of the Chen family said.

Blood?

"The house is restless, the disaster of blood and light, the villain is making trouble!" Chen Er's sister-in-law said in a daze, a little incredulous: "Song San said nothing bad."

"What?" The Chen brothers looked at each other.

Chen Er's sister-in-law subconsciously raised her voice: "At noon today, Song San said that my house is going to be uneasy these days, the house will be restless, and there will be blood and light disasters if I don't get it done well, so I need to beware of villains!"

"Who?" The Chen family's boss frowned.

"Song San." Chen Er's sister-in-law said.
