Years 48

What do you say about picking up rags?

Make money, you will definitely make money too.

But it’s rare to rely on this family. An old lady can make money by relying on this.

It is not embarrassing to pick up rags when I was a child. For example, the second child picked up sweet potato skins thrown away by others to eat. It is really not a problem to know the taste of hunger and the taste of being poor.

Lin Yutong frowned and said, "Mom, you probably don't know that the old couple who picked up rags must be locals. Otherwise, why would the police look for you if they didn't look for them? You are the blind wandering that the police are looking for..."

Blind flow?

Aunt Jin almost jumped up, "I'm just here to pick up a rag, why is it a hooligan... I'm blindly wandering..."

For her, the blind wanderer and the hooligan are not very clear.

There is a son called a gangster, and she is particularly sensitive to this word.

Lin Yutong explained to her that "people who have no stable occupations or permanent residences are called blind inflows, such as "blind migration". You are migrating from rural areas to cities to make a living, without stable occupations or permanent residences. What is you not a blind migration population?"

I directly ignored my own place, Aunt Jin's home.

Aunt Jin felt relieved, "Oh! You're not a hooligan! That's all. What's wrong with blind wandering? Make money."

Lin Yutong said again: "Then why did the police take you to the police station?" Then she said with her fingers, "In the early 50s, a large number of rural populations flowed into cities every year due to poverty. In April 1953, the State Council issued an instruction to persuade farmers to blindly flow into cities, and then proposed the concept of "blind flow". After the autumn of 1956, the phenomenon of rural population outflow to large cities and key industrial construction areas became very serious. The State Council issued another instruction to prevent blind outflow of population at the end of the year, and

In early 1957, the instructions were supplemented again. In March 1959, due to the prevalence of extreme left lines, the situation of starving people to death was already in large quantities, the Central Committee and the State Council jointly issued an emergency notice on stopping the blind outflow of rural labor. All farmers who left the country without permission were "blindly flowing into cities" were "blindly flowing". This document was tough tone, not only to stop farmers from fleeing, but also instructed provinces and cities to shelter and repatriate farmers who "blindly flowing into cities and industrial mines..."

Aunt Jin looked at her fourth daughter-in-law and opened her mouth. She couldn't remember what she said, but she roughly understood the meaning, "...you mean that this is something that the country is not called to do..."

Right! This is the current policy. The country does not allow it.

Aunt Jin's expression was a little solemn. Is this a violation of the law?

In her consciousness, this country is not meant to do something that must not be done. If it does, it means not listening to the Chairman's words, it is illegal.

The word "breaking" in Aunt Jin's mind is also an untouchable point. My son has already broken the law. Should he have another mother who breaks the law? That person should not say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?

She shook her head repeatedly, "That's not? Let's send me back as soon as possible. If you don't call me, we won't stay there. Send me back." She felt a little uncomfortable.

The old lady glanced at her granddaughter and always knew that her granddaughter had an idea, but she didn't expect that she was such a person. If she changed someone, would she have to say that her mother-in-law was embarrassed and she couldn't make a fuss to make a noise? But what about her granddaughter? She was kind and said nothing of what she thought. Just telling the country how the country stipulates this matter. We don't know whether it is true or not, but seeing how she said it so smoothly, she shouldn't have made it up by herself. But those words were all pierced into her mother-in-law's heart.

I didn't say a word of disagreement, or an inappropriate word, and then I gently pushed out such a difficult and difficult person.

The key is that the person who was pushed out didn't notice it at all.

I heard my granddaughter still say there: "...I've come here, so I don't rush to go back. I'll go out later and ask someone to call my second brother and my sister, and say to them, and say we asked someone to send you a message. Let's go back for a few days. Why don't we just wait for the end of this semester and go back with us..."

"No!" Aunt Jin shook her head repeatedly. Since it was not allowed, what should I do if I stayed too late and affect my son's future? "I will go back tomorrow... I will meet Qingning tonight, see my granddaughter, I will go back tomorrow morning..."

Well!

It seems to be a little overworked.

The Fourth Master said nothing from beginning to end, and then the matter was solved perfectly.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to ask the old man to be too lazy in the city, but the key is that she is in this state and feels comfortable staying in the city?

It was really the same as the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong thought. At night, Aunt Jin almost started arguing with her.

"What? The broken cucumber costs 2 cents and 3 pounds, why don't you grab it?"

Two cents and three kilograms are not expensive in the city. This is still the vegetable market in the afternoon, and the vegetables are not very fresh.

Vegetable dealers come from the countryside, and they are also common in this rural old lady, so they said, "My elder sister, I brought the vegetables in the middle of the night, what are I trying to do? I earn this hard money."

Why is it so hard to get money? Are your sweat beads made of gold?

I finally persuaded me to leave. Isn't it okay to not buy cucumbers? I said that the Fourth Master has gone again because she heard someone say that watermelon is expensive now. The man was looking for watermelons in the market and wanted to buy it. As a result, there was no such thing as before. When I talked to the vegetable dealer, Aunt Jin heard it.

Suddenly, he was in a bad mood: "Spend the bill!"

That's what she said about her fourth son.

The fourth master said: "Yesterday Qingning said he wanted to eat, and said that his children all eat..."

Then Aunt Jin shut up.

Oh! It’s the child who wants to eat it. That’s what he has to buy.

When she went back, Aunt Jin and the old lady went to the kitchen to cook, and talked about what she saw and heard. The old lady listened and laughed. The couple really touched people's weaknesses. Don't talk too much about it. For them, things are not a big deal. She lives with them, and now she doesn't care about anything. She doesn't need her at all.

I was so satisfied with this grandson-in-law that I couldn't stand my mother's son-in-law, and that I was a good son-in-law.

I was happy and became a little more tolerant of Aunt Jin. I said a few words from time to time.

They are already familiar and have no shortage of common topics, so they chatted very well.

However, Aunt Jin was anxious and thought that everything in the city was good. In addition to the price she was not satisfied with, the one who was most dissatisfied with the home was the kitchen. Everything in the kitchen was good and clean enough, but just a little bit, the cooking fire was too small, and it was urgent. Can the pot be cooked? Who can eat enough? That is, three or five people can make a living in the family, and when there are too many people, cooking can kill people. There are also steamed buns, how many can one steam? It’s not a big deal! No wonder you bought the steamed buns, it’s more convenient to buy this thing.

She said, "From the future, I will ask someone to bring you steamed buns at home. I won't say anything about saving money. The steamed buns at home are delicious."

Lin Yutong was worried. It was fine in winter, but she would not grow hair on the balcony for the time being. What would happen if it was summer? What could it be stuffed in the refrigerator now? It can’t be said that the refrigerator is just to put steamed buns on it.

She went in and answered: "I'll talk about it when I arrived at the county town. Whatever you can do when I go back. Maybe I'll still be in the town..."

"Why are you still in the town?" Aunt Jin was puzzled, "What are you doing in school?"

From now on, this identity will definitely be different in town than before.

Now that I am a fixed student, I am willing to go to the countryside, so if I go there, I will be at least a deputy subject. I said that I must be a regular subject at least.

This is a very different from his previous identity. It is considered a cadre identity.

The director and the director in the county town are all at the level of a regular department.

It is estimated that it is unlikely to go back directly to the town. The feed factory and pig farm are operating well now, and the interest relationship involved must have changed. Then, not everyone wants to go back home.

Therefore, when you go back, you will be in the county town. The different levels, the treatment you give will naturally be different. There will be some changes in the house. Both of you know these things clearly. But the matter has not settled, so you can't tell Aunt Jin.

She was not as good as Qingning in some aspects, so Qingning knew very well what words could be said to the outside world and nothing could be said to others.

Lin Yutong had no choice but to say again: "It's just an internship. There is still one year before graduation."

Aunt Jin, who didn't understand, nodded as if she was ignorant and stopped asking.

When Qingning came back, she was so happy when she saw her breasts. "You know, I didn't go to school anymore, so I asked my dad to ask me for leave." She threw down her schoolbag and ran out to call the strictness of the next building: "My breasts are here today, and I won't do my homework together."

Then the fat boy poked his head out of the window upstairs, "I know, I'll call you to school tomorrow morning..."

Qingning came in without responding, holding her breasts' waist and didn't know how to be intimate. Her mouth kept clattering. From everyone in the house to the orchard to see the fruits, she greeted her carefully. She hummed and pestered her breasts, "Let's stay for a few more days, and I will go back when I'm on the summer vacation..."

Aunt Jin's heart was so heartbroken that she was still firm, "...No! Can't you stay in the city?"

Why can't you stay there?

After hearing her breasts' words, Qingning almost blurted out the rebuttal words. What was going on? How could it be that the country people would not be asked to enter the city? Let's visit the family. How could it be so inhumane?

But then I thought about it, these words were not something her breasts could know?

Who can say that?

It must be my mother.

You can't tear my mom's desk.

Gao Jie, the former son, said that her breasts had only been living in the northern suburbs for two days and had a three-game quarrel with her mother.

Alas! It seems that my mother from home may not necessarily like her grandmother.

But when she continued to talk to her grandmother, Qingning understood a little. It was really not that her mother was wrong. Grandma actually wanted to pick up rags.

She was shocked, "My parents don't give you enough money?"

Otherwise, why would you think of doing this?

She went back to the room and took out her piggy bank and stuffed it to her breasts, "You take it home, there is a lot of money here..." The New Year's money is here. There are parents, colleagues, classmates, and their teachers. In addition, relatives of the Lin family gave it to them. The parents and the old lady gave it to them, and the amount was still quite large. She didn't spend it, and she saved up all the money that couldn't spend it.

Lin Yutong knew that there was a little Qian in her daughter's piggy bank.

Of course Aunt Jin won’t take it anymore, “You can keep it for yourself to buy candy, grandma don’t.”

Thinking about it, this matter seems to be really unreliable.

Aunt Jin was sent away the next day, but Qingning felt that her grandmother was pitiful. If she hadn't been able to do anything, how could she think about picking up rags?

Because the Fourth Master called the second son and asked him to go to the station in the county to pick up the person. Everyone thought that Aunt Jin was called away by the fourth son. Even the second couple felt so. They also asked: "How good is it for you to make a call? How worried is it to be a mother who calls people alone."

The old lady is very capable, and there is nothing to worry about.

Of course, I came back with a lot of bags. I don’t know how my fourth wife prepared it, so I prepared it in one night. I brought many things that I had a lot of food. This one came from my family and that made me feel very proud of taking out the things.

This said: "Sister-in-law, you are such a blessing, why don't you stay for more days?"

Aunt Jin had something to say: "Don't mention it, the city is not something we can live in." She exaggeratedly talked about the various disadvantages of the city. It is better to live in the upper floor and surrounded by a room than to be in her own yard. It makes people feel comfortable when going out. Living in a building is like living in a pigeon cage, which is frustrating and breathing is not smooth.

The world is conscience! I live on the first floor. In addition to the balcony, the first floor also comes with a small area on both sides of the outside to make a garden. The old lady used to be an elegant person, so she naturally sang songs in any place. She also raised peonies and chrysanthemums in spring and autumn. She would never say that she could plant some garlic seedlings and green onions, or she would order some coriander spinach. The two households on the first floor were connected, and the area was 300 square meters up. This house is not spacious? Is it a pigeon cage?

Haha! If you really live in a tube building, you won’t go back and say it’s like a pigpen.

But everyone believes this. Because there have been so many people, no one has ever been to Jin Laosi and Tong's home. If you can live in the house, who would spend money to stop outside?

So, when people talk about the Fourth Master and Tong, they all said that the couple had a favor.
