Chapter 13
Li Wen came back too late last night and woke up to a knock on the door.
Awen, get up, you will be late for work soon.
I glanced at the clock in the room and saw that it was already six o'clock in the morning, so I quickly got up from the bed.
After walking out of the room, others had already started eating. Li Wen scratched his head and said with a smile, "I overslept."
"I know, wash your face and eat quickly. I was late for work later. My mother, Wang Chunmei, knew what happened yesterday. She glanced at Li Wen and said with a smile."
Li Wen washed his face a few times under the apricot tree in the yard, and quickly got up to eat. Breakfast had been placed on the table. The meal was good this morning, semi-dry wild vegetable cornmeal, and two steamed buns per person.
Li Wen ran around all night yesterday. When he came back at night, he fell asleep again without eating. When he got up in the morning, he felt hungry from the front to the back. He picked up a pottery bowl the size of a human head and started drinking.
"Brother, you are just like Dahei. You are snoring while eating. At this time, the little guy Li Juan who has finished eating is smiling."
Go, go, go! What do children know? Your brother is hungry and in a hurry to eat. How can you compare your brother with Da Hei? Mother Wang Chunmei scolded softly.
Li Wen was also eating and didn't want to talk to this little guy!
"Humph! I went to play, and the little guy jumped off the bench and ran out the door.
"Don't run too far, and don't go to the reservoir. Be careful that the kidnapper takes you away. Mother is scaring the little guy from behind."
"Mom, we also went to play. We saw little Li Juan running out the door. Li Yong and Li Tao were still playing in the yard, but they wanted to run away after seeing her."
"You're not allowed to go. You two and your mother-in-law are going to hunt pig grass later. The pigs are getting fat during this time. Be careful because they are too thin due to hunger. The team has taken the pigs back and won't let us raise them. Second Aunt Cui
Yanzi stood up and stopped him."
"Ah! That's not possible. We raised these pigs every day by killing pigs and weeds. I still hope to kill Dahei and the others during the New Year to eat the meat in exchange for firecrackers." Li Yong immediately quit after hearing this, and pulled Li Tao and Li Tao to lift the baskets.
Run outside.
Life has been difficult for every household in the past two years. The spare money they have has been used to buy grain, and they can no longer afford to raise pigs. How can farmers raise pigs?
The two pigs at home are not actually theirs, but were placed at his home by the production team and asked to help raise them.
There is a small pig farm in the village, and the orphans in the village are arranged to raise pigs. However, they are too old to cut pig grass, so the village can only buy pig grass for feeding.
The work points given to pig grass in the village are too few, and the adults don't like it, and the children often don't cut enough, causing the pigs in the pig farm to go hungry all day long.
The old secretary came up with a way to ask qualified farmers in the village to help raise them. If one pig is raised, it will be divided into 20 kilograms of pork at the end of the year. If two pigs are raised, half of the pigs will belong to the farmer. This can greatly mobilize the farmers' enthusiasm.
It's positive, but there are risks. If you raise a pig to death, you will have to pay compensation.
If a piglet dies, the farmer will catch the piglet privately for 15 yuan a head, and the pig raised on behalf of the pig will be compensated for 5 yuan based on the internal price. After all, the piglet is bred by an old sow on the pig farm, so the cost is relatively low.
Moreover, for the pigs raised on behalf of the village, each pig in the village received a monthly subsidy of ten kilograms of bran. This is not a small figure. One hundred and twenty kilograms a year, two pigs equals two hundred and forty kilograms. During the famine the year before last, the Li Wen family
There was a shortage of food rations, so I also ate a lot of pig rations.
Nowadays, many families have nothing to eat, so the subsidized bran goes into their stomachs. The village also knows this situation and turns a blind eye. After all, the whole village has the same ancestors and is related by relatives.
Anecdotal.
Although the village turns a blind eye, it will regularly check the growth of the pigs and weigh the pigs. If the weight of the pig does not meet the standard, the qualification to raise pigs will be revoked and other farmers will be allowed to breed. This is equivalent to the previous several
All the breeding for months was used to make wedding dresses for others.
Generally, all the strong laborers in the family work, so the burden of raising pigs falls on the elderly and children of the family. The children come home from school every day during the day, and rush home to hunt pig grass after school in the afternoon. The adults rarely help, so the family
It is absolutely true that pigs are raised by children.
There are two old sows and one big boar in the village. They give birth to two to three litters every year, and there are almost thirty piglets. Except for six or seven piglets left in the village pig farm, the other twenty or thirty piglets are given to farmers.
Adopted.
The Li Wen family has more children, better family conditions, and less pig-eating subsidies. Moreover, the old party secretary and Grandpa Li Wen are brothers, so they take better care of their family.
His family applied to raise two piglets. When the piglets were delivered at the end of the year, the weight of the pigs was always the best, so no one in the village dared to say anything.
Many people who adopt piglets are only fed pig grass and no bran, which cuts off the subsidies for the production team, so they are all blacklisted.
After eating, everyone hurried to the wheat field. At this time, the wheat field was already full of people. The accountant's wife was the one who counted the work points. When she saw several people hurried over, she smiled and said: "His fifth aunt, thirteenth aunt, so
What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Aunt Chunyan, aren't you almost late?" she said with a smile as she looked at the second aunt, the accountant's daughter-in-law, and her mother who were holding gongs in their hands.
At this time, there were no clansmen in the fifth server in the village, and the men were ranked according to their age. In Li Wen's family, his father and second uncle were ranked fifth and twelfth respectively, so their wives would also be called according to this ranking.
"Not yet. We just finished the roll call and saw you two rushing with your children."
"Then we came just in time. Please remember her eighth aunt carefully and don't dare to miss us," said her mother, Wang Chunmei, with a smile.
"Awen, I heard that you got a pair of fishing lines from your classmate, and your fishing skills are not bad. I asked my aunt to try the fish you caught that day. Looking at Li Wen behind me, the accountant's wife Song Chunyan said with a smile."
Li Wen was stunned when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "Aunt Eighth, am I just feeding you? It's this. After work is over in the afternoon, I'm going to go fishing. I'll ask your tiger to come to my house in the evening."
"Haha, that's a good relationship. Thank you in advance, aunt," he said, not interrupting your work, and walked towards the village committee.
"This Song Chunyan really followed the accountant, and his calculations are really good. Doesn't he just want to eat fish? He's beating around the bush," Second Aunt Cui Yanzi complained as she walked away.
"Second Aunt, it's okay, it's just two fish. Even if we eat meat, we have to let others drink the soup. There are many eyes in the village. Why don't the village cadres unite? In the evening, not only the accountant, but also several cadres in the village will have to give it. Li
Wen said with a smile."
The second aunt stopped talking after hearing this. It is true that everyone is living the same life these days. If your family is different, then I will knock you down and make you the same as everyone else, so be careful in everything.
In the blink of an eye, the work gong rang in the afternoon, and Li Wen secretly supplemented his nutrition. His body had recovered a lot in the past few days, and he had adapted to the intensity of labor.
After work, he left with his mother and others. He was afraid that adults would stop him and ask for fish!
When I walked to the door of the village supply and marketing store, I saw Li Shoucai chatting with a few young people and shouted: "Brother Shoucai, where are my fishing gear? I am going to go fishing tonight. If you still need it, I will give it to you in a few days. Li Shoucai
Wen shouted."
Li Shoucai looked up and saw that it was Li Wen. He scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's Wenzi. Can you borrow this fishing gear for a few more days? I didn't go fishing yesterday?"
Li Wen's face suddenly fell, "Brother Shou Cai, when you borrowed it yesterday, you said you would pay it back today. Last night, many people in the village saw you going to the reservoir together. How could you not go fishing? You are
It’s not that you don’t want to pay me back.”
Seeing Li Wen being aggressive, Li Shoucai simply stopped pretending and yelled: "You little brat, you're still making noises with me. It's just a pair of fishing gear. I won't give it to you. What do you guys say?"
Didn't you say that and slapped Li Wen?"
Li Wen saw that Li Shoucai was such a scoundrel and knew that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he turned and left the door of the store, leaving Li Shoucai and others laughing behind him.
"Ah! What's wrong with Awen? What's wrong with his face? Who hit you? Back to the crowd, the second aunt Cui Yanzi said sharply, "My mother and second sister also pulled Li Wen and looked at his face, and the people in the village also
People gathered around to watch.
"Mom, it was Li Shoucai who did it. Let's go home first. He was afraid that his mother and second aunt would suffer a loss if they went up to fight with Li Shoucai."
"What are we afraid of in Sanxing Village, you coward? I'll go home to find your brother and your father. My mother, Wang Chunmei, pointed at Li Wen and walked home angrily!"
With a bang, the door was pushed open by my mother!
"Lao Wu, boss, are you there? Come out," Wang Chunmei said loudly in the yard.
What's wrong, what's wrong with the boss's wife? The old lady walked out of the kitchen first, and at this time everyone in the family came out!
"Our Awen let Li Shoucai beat him so stupidly, and the second aunt was also furious. He is an adult and still beats a child, and he is still a clan brother who has not been blessed with five blessings. This is simply too much."
"I'm going to go to Li Shoucai to argue. Why is this guy Awen so timid? He actually asked me to go home. I'm really angry. My mother, Wang Chunmei, put her hands on her hips and said fiercely."
"Awen, what are you talking about? Why did Shou Cai hit you? Li Deyou pulled Li Wendao over."
Li Wen beat Li Shoucai even after he took the fishing gear. He was afraid that his mother and second aunt would be beaten if he tried to argue with him, so he asked everyone to come back to discuss it first so as not to suffer the immediate loss.
Does the family know the importance of fishing gear? As soon as Li Wu and Li Quan heard this, they ran straight to pick up a two-meter-long wooden stick and walked out.
It was so outrageous, "The one who eats shit also entangled the one who took shit," Father Li said angrily after hearing this.
"Boss, the second brother and his second uncle are leaving. Let's go and seek justice for Awen. Mom, you can watch the younger ones at home and don't let them come and go. Let's go and talk about the five men and the second uncle.
A daughter-in-law walked out of the courtyard carrying a stick.
