Suisui at Seventy

A few days later, Jiang Suisui, wearing a straw hat and holding a wooden rake, combed the piles of rice that had been hit the other day, and spread them out on the ground.

This was the job she sought for Granny Jiang. After all, she couldn't do nothing all the time and just sit back and reap the benefits, right? And this is natural exercise.

Isn't this? After working for a while, Jiang Sui's arms began to sore, the autumn sun was shining, and his body began to sweat.

"Fortunately, I wore a straw hat," Jiang Suisui shook his arm and mumbled, "It's all autumn, why the sun is still so big..."

There are also many people scattered on the grain field, all busy drying the millet. At this time, the rice harvested by each household must be exposed to the sun for a few days, and then handed over to the commune according to the household’s population share requirements, and the rest can be used as rations for the coming year.

Jiang Suisui heard from his grandmother that the harvest in the past few years was not good, and the harvested grain would only be enough to hand in. There were even a few households who had difficulties. They had to cut back on food and borrow to buy in order to make up enough to hand in. Food.

While spreading the rice, she thought to herself that she didn't know how much food this year would be left after handed in.

"Sui Sui!" Jiang Sui Sui Suddenly heard Grandma Jiang's call not far away.

"Eh, grandma!" She hurriedly greeted her and took the basket from Granny Jiang, "Eat!"

Grandma Jiang raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said distressed: "Aren't you tired? Look at your sweaty head."

"Grandma, how much work other people do, how much work can I do? How can I be tired."

"Oh, how can you compare to others?"

Jiang Suisui: I don't know for a moment whether this is praise or disapproval?

Seeing Granny Jiang still standing watching her, she said: "Grandma, you should go back first. I will take the baskets and bowls back tonight for the sun drying at noon."

Granny Jiang: "I'm not going back, I'll be in a meeting here for a while."

"Meeting?" Jiang Suisui was puzzled. "Meeting in the village? What's the matter?"

Granny Jiang shook her head: "I didn't say anything, just let everyone come to the valley and say there is something to say."

"All right." Jiang Suisui was holding the bowl. "Then let's sit down and make it more comfortable."

She and Granny Jiang were sitting next to a pile of straw. Jiang Suisui was holding a big ballast cake and a bowl of cabbage soup, and began to work out her lunch with difficulty.

Hey, who said the biscuits are too hard... Jiang Suisui took a bite of the biscuits and twisted his face with force.

Seeing her eating hard, Grandma Jiang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why are you eating so badly recently?"

She touched Jiang Suisui's arm, feeling very sad: "Look at you now, this skinny, the previous meat is gone!"

Jiang Suisui: ... Grandma, your tone, it feels like the piglet at home has lost meat.

"Grandma, I'm not thin either." Jiang Suisui retorted, "Look at the other girls in the village, they are all thin, I'm still fat."

"Compare you with others? No matter how thin the girl in the village is, she is accustomed to doing work. She is strong. If you don't even have the meat, you will only be skin and bones."

Jiang Suisui: Doesn't that mean I'm puffy?

She patted her chest and promised: "Grandma, don't worry, no matter how thin I am, I can't be skinny."

In the previous life, she was as thin as a paper man because of her poor health, so now she cherishes her healthy body very much.

As for losing weight, there is no other way. The food has no oil and water, and she is not as greedy as the original body, so she naturally loses weight.

Jiang Suisui squeezed her cheek silently, there was still flesh, but it felt like it was not as fleshy as before.

It seems that the weight loss plan does not need to be implemented, as long as you live in the countryside in the 1970s for a period of time, it is easy to lose weight.

After a while, there were more and more people on the Shai Valley field, and Zhang Shuli, the village party secretary, appeared on the small platform at the front with a big horn.

"Big guy, be quiet! Stand here, there is something to announce." Zhang Shuli yelled twice, and the crowd gathered in the past.

Jiang Suisui followed Granny Jiang, standing behind the crowd, curiously waiting for news.

To be honest, this was the first time she saw so many people since she came.

Jiang Suisui turned around, suddenly his eyes lit up and he found Song Weizheng who was leading Song Yuxue to the field.

Song Weizheng walked out of the crowd, and after a certain distance, he stopped advancing, standing there quietly, holding Song Yuxue, his expression indifferent and alienated.

Song Yuxue was a child, and she was more curious. She raised her head and glanced at the crowd.

When Jiang Suisui turned her gaze to her side, she quickly raised her hand and waved: hello!

Song Yuxue's eyes stopped and stopped.

She pursed her lips, looked up at her brother, and saw that her brother was looking ahead without paying attention to herself, so she turned her head back to look at Jiang Suisui.

After a moment of silence, Song Yuxue finally raised her hand slightly and waved.

Jiang Suisui felt relieved after receiving the response.

At this time, the village party secretary on the stage said again: "There are almost people here, everyone who hasn't come will inform each other when they go back."

"Today we are going to announce something. In order to respond to the call of the country and improve the knowledge level of the broad masses of people, our peasant class must not hold back. Therefore, our village will set up a literacy class in the near future to teach everyone to read and learn knowledge!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a moment of silence on the valley field, and then it began to boil.

"Huh? Literacy? I'm so old, so what kind of knowledge do I still learn?"

"What am I doing? I don't usually need it."

"We work all day, so how can we have time to read and learn knowledge?"

"Oh, this is good, I let my big and second hairs go, saving money for school!"

"I also want to go, go back to the town to go to the market, the supply and marketing agency asked me to tell me which brand I want, then how do I know? I only know the look, but I don't know the words on it! It is still convenient to recognize braille!"

…………

All kinds of voices were heard for a while, and the valley field was full of excitement. Jiang Suisui listened with gusto.

She said to Granny Jiang: "Grandma, the literacy class teaches literacy, will you go?"

Granny Jiang said disgustingly: "Eh, what kind of character do I recognize when I am so old? That character is like a bug in my eyes, twists and turns, don't be awkward, and it's very uncomfortable! I won't suffer it. crime."

"We usually have to go to the ground, and there are endless jobs at home. How can we go?"

She didn't want to go, and Jiang Suisui didn't reluctantly said: "It's okay, anyway, I can read, and grandma has me!"

Grandma Jiang said, "Okay, still my granddaughter is great."

No matter what the attitude of the villagers, the decision of the village still has to be followed.

The secretary of the village requires at least one person from each household to participate in the literacy class. The literacy class is arranged every evening after the end of work, so that the villagers can participate. The teachers in the class will be taken by the educated youth in the village.

After listening to Jiang Suisui, he had a bad feeling in his heart. This educated youth who is acting as a teacher does not have Shen Zhiwen, right? That's really cheap for him...

After the end, the crowd dispersed, leaving only scattered people in the suntan field.

Jiang Suisui continued to stay here to spread the rice, and watch the market by the way.

It takes several days to dry the millet, and it is impossible to guarantee that it will not rain suddenly, so in order to prevent the rice from getting wet by the rain, someone needs to watch the field these days.

It's easy to watch the scene, usually children from the family, Jiang Suisui, as the "child" of the family, is among them.

And Song Yuxue also stayed here to help.

"Brother, you can go back, I can." Song Yuxue said to her brother.

Song Weizheng frowned: "Then you pay attention to yourself, if it gets hot, hide in the shade of the trees and don't do anything."

"I see, you talk more than your mother." Song Yuxue was young and had already started to dislike her brother nagging.

Song Weizheng smiled helplessly, tugged her pigtail, turned and left before his sister couldn't help being impatient again.

Jiang Suisui, who had been watching for a long time, saw Song Weizheng gone, and then walked forward.

"Xiaoxue, are you looking at the venue too? Let's make a group, otherwise it would be boring to be alone!"

Song Yuxue has slowly gotten used to her enthusiasm now, and she can also feel that Jiang Suisui has no bad intentions towards herself, and even that she doesn't seem to approach herself because of her brother.

Song Yuxue nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing her picking up a wooden rake that stood taller than her, Jiang Suisui was quietly and diligently spreading out the rice, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "How do I feel that you are doing better than me?"

Song Yuxue: "You did too little."

Jiang Suisui followed her on the stall, chatting as she stalled: "You are right, so don't I come to accept the transformation? I will try to become a hardworking and capable person!"

Song Yuxue couldn't help asking: "I heard that you used to do nothing at home. Is this true?"

Jiang Suisui was a little embarrassed: "Yes, not... Anyway, I can work now."

Song Yuxue pursed her lips: "If you marry my brother in the future, let's live together, we still have to do some work..." As she said, her voice became smaller and smaller, and it seemed that it would be difficult to follow her. Open the teeth.

"Huh?" Jiang Suisui almost didn't hear it clearly.

Song Yuxue thought she was unwilling, and her face showed some embarrassment. She paused, her voice became louder, and continued: "Our family has only one brother to work. He is very hard. I think... my sister-in-law can help him. ."

When Jiang Suisui saw her talking, her head gradually lowered, and her voice became smaller and smaller. He couldn't help being a little funny: "Xiaoxue, you are like a housekeeper now. Not bad, I'm a little adult, and I will worry about the family. thing."

Song Yuxue blushed, a little shy.

Jiang Suisui suddenly thought of another funny point: "By the way, what did you just say? Sister-in-law?"

Song Yuxue turned her head and said nothing.

Jiang Suisui refused to let her go. He looked at her face and pretended to be sad: "Xiaoxue, we have known each other for so long. You haven't even called me your sister. I don't even call you sister-in-law. Believe it, is this talking about me?"

Song Yuxue raised her head and looked at her. Seeing her sad face, she suddenly felt that she was really bad attitude. Would Jiang Suisui think she didn't like her?

Actually... In fact, she thinks Jiang Suisui is pretty good...

Song Yuxue couldn't bear to see her sad, so she looked into her eyes and shouted earnestly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"
