Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:

This fall, Zhen Zhen fell directly to the ground ten meters below the ground, and fell on a large rock. Fortunately, what Zhen Zhen came out of was the consciousness of the soul, otherwise she would have to bleed and pat her head in fear, Zhen Zhen sat up on the stone, thinking about walking around to the farmhouse here, and by the way to the mountain have a look.

Zhen Zhen's consciousness just took a few steps when suddenly the surrounding soil trembled slightly, as if she wanted to talk about something, Zhen Zhen stopped, closed her eyes and merged her consciousness with the soil. After a while, she opened her mouth in surprise. Open your eyes and look back at the stone that caught you just now.

It was pitch black under the ground, and she couldn't see anything with her eyes. Zhen Zhen wrapped the stone with her consciousness and carefully explored its color, size and texture. I saw that this stone was the size of a watermelon, and the oddly-shaped whole was golden. Almost instantly, Zhen Zhen guessed what it was: Goutou Jin.

Goutou gold is mostly produced next to gold mines. Apart from increasing the production of crops, Zhen Zhen seldom sinks her consciousness into the ground. She suddenly realized that there may be more resources and treasures under the forest of Mount Yidong than on the mountain. Leaving Gootoujin, Zhen Zhen felt the guidance of the earth, about two or three miles away, she found a gold mine.

Zhen Zhen didn't go deep into it. First, she was too young to do anything even if she discovered gold mines. Second, she had to wait until the ten years of catastrophe had passed if she wanted to mine. Slowly floating up from the ground, Zhen Zhen walked back all the way to increase the income of the crops on both sides. After her consciousness returned to her body, Wang Sufen's sister-in-law He Dongmei had already cooked and set up a kang table in the south of the East Room. On the kang, Wang Sufen's parents and elder brother accompanied Mrs. Li's family to dinner, and He Dongmei took the children to eat at the Westinghouse.

As soon as everyone sat down, Zhen Zhen also turned over and sat up, Mrs. Li quickly put down the wine glass she had just picked up, got off the kang and put on her shoes, then went to the north kang opposite, and took Zhen Zhen into her arms: "Treasure Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Zhen Zhen rubbed her eyes and yawned, her bright eyes seemed to be misted with water, Mrs. Li hurriedly hugged her and got off the kang, walked around the room twice, watching Zhen Zhen's spirit After a while, I took her to the table and sat down.

Father Wang looked at Madam Li holding Zhen Zhen in his palm, and couldn't help but say, "Mom, you have no end to hurt your child, let Sufen hold her, you can eat quickly."

Old Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "We Zhen Zhen are still not in good spirits, I'll hold her for a while, and then let Sufen feed her when she wants to eat. My family, I'm not afraid of your jokes, after the birth of my granddaughter. Ah, I can't leave her without a single step, and if I don't see her for a while, I'm going to die. I went to work in the mountains a while ago, and I really couldn't put Zhen Zhen at home for her sister-in-law to watch, I felt like I lost my soul on the mountain all day. ."

Dad Wang looked at his granddaughter, but he really looked at Bai Bai and Nen Nen, but he really couldn't think of this person who loved his granddaughter more than his grandson? However, the family has a way of living, and Father Wang was worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask any questions. But she didn't despise Zhen Zhen like she used to, thinking in her heart that this child only sent some eggs when he was born, and he didn't go there for a while, this is the first time he came to the house, so he had to give a red envelope, or else Just because the mother-in-law dotes on this child so much, I am afraid that she will be unhappy in her heart.

Zhen Zhen leaned against Mrs. Li's arms for a while, then reached for a spoon to eat. Wang Sufen hurriedly took her over and scooped the boiled rice porridge for her to eat. Zhen Zhen's little tooth usually chews all the wild fruits that are soft and juicy, but if she eats vegetables, she can't bite. Wang Sufen can only take a piece of potato and crush it with a spoon for Zhen Zhen to feed her.

Old lady Li took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. It was very soft and succulent, not to mention the stew. The fragrant Mrs. Li said repeatedly: "Your eldest daughter-in-law is this braised pork. The stew is fragrant, we usually stew at home, but it doesn't smell like this."

The old lady Wang said quickly: "My eldest daughter-in-law's father used to be a pig butcher before liberation, and the other side's cooking was average. This pork alone tasted the best, especially the blood sausage in his house was unpleasant. Absolutely. It's a pity that these days are not good. We can't fatten our pigs by relying on wild vegetables, and I can't bear to feed sweet potatoes. I haven't eaten his family's blood sausage for several years."

Mrs. Li sighed: "I see that the rain in the past two months has been more frequent than the previous two years. I only hope that next year will be better."

Zhen Zhen listened to her family's short talk, and quickly drank half a bowl of porridge. Her stomach was full, but Zhen Zhenzui didn't want to be idle, she stretched out her hand and took a cucumber from the basket with wild vegetables, put it in her mouth and chewed it hard, but she was able to bite down bits and pieces. I don't eat cucumbers less, but it is the first time to eat cucumbers like this. She used to hear the old man say that cucumbers don't taste like cucumbers, but she still didn't understand it, but now she knows that, compared with the pure natural and pollution-free cucumbers of today, the cucumbers grown in the greenhouses of later generations can be considered radishes at most.

He Dongmei ate a piece of pancake with potatoes in the Westinghouse and hurried over to see if there was anything that needed to be added. Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to be busy, these dishes are old and young, let's eat them. Not much, can you sit down and eat?"

"I'm full, auntie." He Dongmei quickly resigned, she saw that Zhen Zhen was full, she reached out to hug her: "My sister, I'll take care of the child for you, how do you have a good life with our father? Naughty girl."

Zhen Zhen didn't love to sit here all the time, she hurriedly stretched out her hand, He Dongmei took her into his arms and said with a smile, "Zhen Zhen is more worry-free than my stinky ball when I was a child. ."

Zhen Zhen thought that she had four older brothers and one sister-in-law and it was already very lively, but when she went to the Westinghouse, I saw, my mother, five boys and three girls, Zhen Zhen looked back at He Dongmei in shock, she really couldn't think of it How did this aunt give birth to so many children?

Eight children surrounded a kang table, all their heads were lowered and they were trying to cook vegetables in their mouths. He Dongmei hugged Zhen Zhen and sat down on the edge of the kang, Zhen Zhen took a look at the table, a small pot of potatoes There is no soup left in the braised pork, and several children are desperately grabbing the eggplant to eat. If Lao Wang's family used to be reluctant to put oil in cooking, just boil it with water and eat it. Today is a distinguished guest, and He Dongmei is cooking with oil.

The five boys eat like wolves, picking up large pieces and stuffing them into their mouths, while the three girls obviously hesitated, only one of seven or eight years old stretched out his chopsticks again, and the other two only dared to She lowered her head and ate the cake, so He Dongmei didn't forget to mumble: "Okay, what are you doing with so much food, and you can't pull wood to work, just make sure you don't starve to death."

Zhen Zhen saw that they forgot to eat the cucumbers. Although the old Li family had a difficult life, Zhen Zhen had already ripened the crops just in time when they were about to run out of food. What, it seems to be stronger than the average person. And Mrs. Li treats her better than her grandchildren put together, Zhen Zhen almost forgot that this was an era when there was some preference for sons over daughters.

The oldest of the three girls is only ten years old, the youngest is only three years old, and Stinky Balls are twins. They heard He Dongmei talking, and they hurriedly ate two mouthfuls, and hurriedly drank the paste in the bowl. Just got off the table.

In the end, it was born by herself. Although He Dongmei was distressed about the food, she didn't say anything more, she put Zhen Zhen in the arms of her eldest daughter Chun Ni, and instructed her: "Take your little sister to the garden to play for a while, I'll go and wash some wild vegetables for you, be careful not to drop her, she is the golden lump of your old aunt's family."

Zhen Zhen almost didn't choke on the cucumber when she heard the word "Jin Gang", she handed the cucumber to He Dongmei with lingering fear, He Dongmei took the cucumber and went to the kitchen to get a small piece of leftover persimmon stuffing in her hand.

Chun Ni carried Zhen Zhen and took Shani and Qiuni to the garden. The old Wang's garden was at the west end of the earthen house, and crops such as corn, eggplant, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage that could fight hunger were planted. Ni sat down against Fang Gen, looked at the things in her own field, and looked enviously at the string of red persimmons planted by the neighbor next door through the fence.

Qiuni put her finger in her mouth and drooled: "I want to eat!"

Xia Ni sighed: "It's like you can eat it if you grow it? By then, it won't be all iron eggs and stinky balls. Besides, I won't let you grow those things. I'm not too hungry. It's a waste of space, it seems that the seeds are not easy to buy, and I heard that the seeds planted next door were brought by relatives from other places."

Chun Ni touched Qiu Ni's hair: "That stuff is not delicious, wait another month or so, if you want anything on the mountain, then my sister will take it off for you."

Zhen Zhen looked at the persimmon she didn't eat in her hand, then looked at the three sisters with yellow faces, carefully controlled a seed to be planted next to the fence, and quickly took root and blossomed under the shelter of the eggplant seedlings As a result, in an instant, three bright red persimmons hung on it.

The three of Chunni were still staring at the fence, but no one noticed that there were three ripe persimmons under the fence. Zhen Zhen was helpless and could only control the butterfly to circle around Shani's head. Shani immediately forgot the persimmon when she saw the butterfly, and ran to catch it. After a few steps, she ran into the ground. In a hurry, Chunni shouted: "Don't step on the seedling, be careful that mom hits you."

Suddenly Shani stopped. She quickly turned her head and glanced into the yard. Seeing that no one was outside, she quickly peeled off the eggplant seedlings, and picked off the three persimmons that were behind her. Back in a hurry.

Chun Ni hurriedly hugged Zhen Zhen and dragged Shani and Qiu Ni to the back of the room, and whispered to Shani: "What's the matter, why are there foreign persimmons?"

"I don't know either." Shani shared the persimmons among Chunni and Qiunii, and said in a low voice, "It's growing on the back of the eggplant seedlings, it's probably because the seeds were planted next door. right?"

"Can't you?" Chun Ni estimated the distance: "Unless the wind blows."

Xia Ni gave her a grin: "It doesn't matter how long it is, eat it quickly, and let Mom see that it's gone." She took a bite of the one in her hand, and the sweet and sour persimmon juice flowed. Into her mouth, Shani couldn't help squinting her eyes: "It's delicious."

Chunni wiped the persimmon on her clothes twice, and just about to put it to her mouth and then took it down, Shani and Qiuni were all over their faces. Seeing that Chunni didn't eat it, she couldn't help but ask her: "Sister, why don't you eat? Mom will come out in a while."

"Why don't I keep it for the two of you." Chun Ni said hesitantly, "Actually, I don't really like this stuff."

"You can pull it down." Shani rolled her eyes at her, snatched Chunni's persimmons and stuffed them in her mouth: "Hurry up and don't implicate us, if you say you're stupid, you can steal it. You have to keep a tail, don't you want to be beaten?"

After being scolded by her younger sister, Chun Ni was not only angry but happy. She ate the persimmon in a few bites, and then scooped a scoop of water from the bucket behind which was prepared to water the ground. The three of them washed their hands and faces. It was clean, and they checked each other's bodies for no traces, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time the foreign persimmon seedling quickly shrank into soil and fell to the ground.

He Dongmei washed the wild vegetables and sent them into the house, then kicked a few boys out to play, and cleaned up the tableware and chopsticks, and then she remembered Zhen Zhen. Sure enough, a few people were found behind the house.

He took Zhen Zhen from Chun Ni's arms and couldn't help but glared at her: "I didn't let you play in the yard and let me find you for a long time, I thought you lost the whole child, I I told you that selling the three of you together is not as valuable as a girl."

Xia Ni looked at He Dongmei unconvinced, and couldn't help but ask her, "Did we give birth to you? Why does my aunt love her daughter so much, why don't you love us?"

He Dongmei laughed angrily when she heard it: "I don't hurt you, but I still give you food and drinks all day long? What do you think I'm raising you for, white-eyed wolf!"

Chun Ni was frightened and hurriedly grabbed Shani, Shani threw Chunni's hand off and stared at He Dongmei unconvinced: "Anyway, you know how you treat us, you can eat as much as you want. Those boys eat, and my sister and I do all the housework."

Seeing her shouting loudly, He Dongmei was afraid that the sound would spread to the house and let others hear it, so she didn't dare to yell at her, so she suppressed the fire and explained: "We are all men who pull wood to earn wages, and I won't let them. After your brother and your brother are full, how do they go to work and earn money? You just clean up at home, what does it matter if you eat more and less, and why do you even starve to death?"

"I won't be able to feed myself if I don't starve to death." Shani lowered her head and her eyes turned red: "You are all born and raised by you, so you should be biased. Anyway, my uncles who go out of the family haven't seen how much filial piety to me every year. How much milk do I have, and my aunt has brought the meat to the house for the past few years." Shani turned her head and walked out, leaving a vicious sentence: "Anyway, if you treat me badly, don't do it in the future. Count on me to honor you."

He Dongmei couldn't be mad at her. She grew up like this at home when she was a child. She couldn't do it when she raised a daughter. She was so angry that she chased after her and wanted to slap her. It seemed that she had sensed He Dongmei's intention. , Shani turned her head and stared at He Dongmei fiercely.

He Dongmei was taken aback and took a step back involuntarily. Although she didn't value the girl, she didn't want to leave her heart just like that, for fear that the girl would really hold grudges and could really cut off contact with her in the future.

He Dongmei didn't know what to say when she stood holding Zhen Zhen for a long time, but looking at Chun Ni and Qiuni with a little terrified expressions, she finally felt a little uncomfortable, she tucked her hair behind her ears, and said something after a while : "I'll give you two pieces of meat when you nurse the rest of their table. If you have more meat, your father should find out."

Chun Ni lowered her head and tears fell, He Dongmei sighed, and walked back in embarrassment: "It's not a mess."

Old Mrs. Li ate and chatted again and again, she would rush back with her family. By the time she got home, Mingxi had already cooked a pot of gooey and a pot of pork and cabbage vermicelli.

Wang Sufen put the sleeping Zhen Zhen on the kang and asked casually, "Your sister-in-law hasn't come back yet?"

"No." Mingxi said, "Her home is so far away, my sister-in-law left so late this morning, she might have to stay overnight before coming back."

Old Mrs. Li sat at the door and took a puff of cigarettes. She couldn't help muttering, "Old Wu's house has only one room in total, so there is no place for her to sleep. Last time she came back from her parents' house, I saw that all her clothes were It was soiled, and after careful inquiries, I found out that she was sleeping on the kitchen floor."

Wang Sufen glanced at the sky and said, "It's still early before it gets dark, and I guess I'll be back in a while."

Old Mrs. Li took another puff of cigarette, looked at Wang Sufen and asked, "I thought I'd do the wedding of Dongzi and Osmanthus this winter, and now I'm free. You can go to the street tomorrow and see, what should I do? Buy everything you buy, don't delay it until the end of the year, it will be difficult to buy anything at that time."

"Okay." Wang Sufen said cheerfully, "I told Carpenter Xu in front of me a few days ago that he should pack a big box, or I'll send two catties of meat to his house and urge him to hurry up. hit."

"In!" Mrs. Li nodded: "I asked your younger brother and sister to leave me some cloth tickets. Last time, your fourth brother also got a few back, and went back to make a new cotton coat for Guihua and Dongzi. , I also made a set for Zhen Zhen, Ming Bei's padded jacket and trousers when he was a child have been removed, and they are long gone."

After the two negotiated, Sufen, the King of Heaven, began to go back and buy things. As for the furniture, it is even easier. The wood in the mountains is ready-made, although it is owned by the state, but as long as it is not taken out for reselling, like building a house, building a cabinet, etc. as usual, just talk to the management. Just do whatever you want.

Xu Carpenter also moved faster when he saw the meat, and the rural wedding box didn't need any style, just a square and sturdy one. A month later, two boxes and a kang qin were ready, so I quickly borrowed a cart to pull it over to Lao Li's house.

Since Mingdong left, Osmanthus has been a little unsettled. She often gets distracted when she talks, and her face is also a little gloomy. After seeing it, Mrs. Li didn't say much, until the house was pulled back and placed, she hurriedly pulled Osmanthus to see, and Osmanthus' face became a little more joyful.

Ms. Li took a look around with the cigarette bag, pressed the box and nodded with satisfaction: "This thing is sturdy and can be used for decades without any problem." I can't help but feel a little dissatisfied. I usually like to draw some flowers, grass, etc. on the Kangqin in Beicha. It's good to see the festive meaning. In previous years, the kangqin made in the early years had these things. In recent years, there is no paint and no one willing to paint, so this step is omitted

Old Mrs. Li was a little unwilling. She always felt that her eldest grandson's marriage would be better. She smoked a few puffs, but remembered one thing: "Osmanthus, I remember that your mother used to be a lady from a big family. Come on, will she draw these things?"

Gui Hua hesitated for a moment: "My mother knew how to paint when she was young, but she hasn't touched anything since the liberation. She hides all the paints, banknotes, etc. at home, and I don't know if she can paint now. "

"Drawing two strokes is better than being bald." Mrs. Li took down her cigarette bag: "Tomorrow you will go and invite your mother."
