Passionate.
With a bang, the door of the old house was locked.
Su Xiaoman glanced left and right, and there was no other movement around except for the chirping of birds in the mountains and forests and the sound of rushing streams.
The sun is a little warm, Su Xiaoman walks under the shade of the tree, when the wind blows, the dense tree shadows on the ground sway back and forth, she took a deep breath, she liked this kind of wind with green leaves , a little cool, refreshing.
She walked in the direction of her uncle's house, pulled the branches and climbed the slope, her field of vision became a little higher, and she happened to see a middle-aged woman walking in front with a large basket on her back, the woman was about forty or fifty Aged and bulky, he suddenly fell while walking down a small steep slope.
Zhou Yanzi flashed her waist, and the severe pain engulfed her body, causing the mourning in her mouth to continue one after another, and there was a burst of fire in front of her eyes, and she vaguely saw the figure of Su Xiaoman walking over.
Su Xiaoman put the things he was holding aside and slowly helped him up.
Zhou Yanzi was astonished, she was a big loudspeaker, she said a lot of gossip about Su Xiaoman in the village before, and often choked with Liu Shufeng. She originally thought that Su Xiaoman would come to sneer when she saw her distress After a few words, Su Xiaoman came to help her without thinking.
"Aunt Zhou, what's the matter? Go to the clinic?"
Although the person was not broken, but the back basket was broken, these pumpkins are not convenient to take back.
Su Xiaoman followed her line of sight to pick up the pumpkins that rolled out one by one, put the hole in the back basket up, and put the pumpkins back up again, Zhou Yanzi endured the pain, put a basket of pumpkins hold in his arms.
"Aunt Zhou, let me help you go back and meet my uncle by the way."
Aunt Zhou used to think that Su Xiaoman was a nose, not an eye, but now she felt her heart was burning, and her affection for the person in front of her was rising.
She felt that Su Xiaoman had changed and became more likeable. When the two walked forward, the desire to communicate and talk could not be restrained.
Aunt Zhou's tone became warm and kind, Su Xiaoman smiled softly and made a few words to her.
"Xiaoman, did you cut Xie Laowu's hair?"
Su Xiaoman nodded and said "um".
Aunt Zhou gave her a deep look, and suddenly came over and whispered, "Are you planning to live with Xie Gouzi?"
Su Xiaoman: "…"
Almost.
.
This scene made her smile.
Aunt Zhou caught a glimpse of her smile, as if she had understood something, her eyes kept flickering.
Su Xiaoman realized what she was thinking about, and she couldn't help laughing after she was stunned. She always wanted to keep cute animals such as cats and dogs when she was a child, but Mrs. Su didn't like it, so she could only say Raising cats and dogs…
Xie Gouzi Xie Gouzi, after listening to it a lot, it is easy for her to have such an association now.
Aunt Zhou patted Su Xiaoman's arm, "Xiaoman, you let Xie Laowu shave his beard. He must be a good-looking baby. He was very beautiful when he was a child."
After that, she thought of something and sighed: "Xie Gouzi is a child with a miserable life, he just gave birth to the wrong child, and my aunt knows that little girls like you are all I like Jiang Zhiqing, a cultural person from the city... If Xie Gouzi was born in the city, he would also be a cultural person."
"I remember it was more than ten years ago..." Aunt Zhou narrowed her eyes and fell into memory, "When Mr. Xie was a child, there was a teaching school outside the village, and he didn't give it to him. When I went to study, he secretly listened to the class by the window. At that time, I asked him, 'Can you hear them reading here?', he could hear it, what was read in it, and he could repeat it word for word."
"I'm thinking, if this kid can study seriously, he will definitely not be worse than the city people, maybe he is more literate than that Jiang Zhiqing."
"Really?" A pitiful uneducated child appeared in his mind, Su Xiaoman felt a little sad, and the snow-white Samoyed even whimpered and pulled down his furry ears.
Aunt Zhou lowered her voice a little bit again, "It's also the four evils at this time, and you are not allowed to talk about those strange things. There were strange things about Xie Gouzi when he was a child, and many people were afraid of him."
"The old man said that children of a few years old are easy to hear and see some unclean things."
Su Xiaoman: "...?"
—unclean thing?
"At that time, there was a family surnamed Ji whose daughter-in-law died, saying that she ate rat poison by mistake, and the family was planning to do the funeral. I heard that his father-in-law poisoned his daughter-in-law..."
"He was still young at that time, four or five years old, and he recounted it well."
"Many people believe him."
"At that time, there was a little disturbance. The mother's family collected the body and took the Ji family's money. Because of this, there was an extra amount of corruption. They didn't come to make trouble, but soon after the incident, Ji's family went to Xie's family to make trouble, saying that Xie's family taught the children to talk nonsense to frame their family... Sun Mei beat up Xie Laowu. "
"I don't know if it's a guilty conscience, the family moved away."
"Xie Laowu is getting quieter and quieter, with his head down, and he doesn't like to talk much."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoman's heart was a little heavy, and she couldn't tell what it was like. It happened that she and Aunt Zhou had already arrived. The two said goodbye. Aunt Zhou insisted on giving her a pumpkin. Su Xiaoman I don't want to.
The door of the countryman's house is open during the day, Su Xiaoman went straight into the uncle's house, and first met his aunt Wang Qiaoxiu who was washing vegetables outside.
Wang Qiaoxiu is a middle-aged woman with short hair. As soon as she saw Su Xiaoman, she gave her a hearty smile, grabbed a handful of vegetables, and shook off the water on it, "Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, come to find uncle."
Su Xiaoman's relationship with her uncle's family is not bad. She often came to play when she was a child, and her uncle Wang Qiaoxiu loved her very much.
"Your uncle is chatting with Secretary Liang, hey, why haven't you heard a sound now, shouldn't you have left behind?"
"Auntie, I'll go in and have a look." Su Xiaoman handed over the bag he brought to Wang Qiaoxiu.
"You came as soon as you came, why did you bring something." Wang Qiaoxiu shook her head and excused a few times.
Su Xiaoman stuffed something into Wang Qiaoxiu, and as soon as her legs were fast, she went inside, leaving only Wang Qiaoxiu, who was still washing vegetables, and called her several times from behind.
Secretary Liang had already left, and as soon as Su Xiaoman entered, he saw the sad uncle, smoking a cigarette and sighing.
Uncle Liu Zhaoqiang saw that it was Su Xiaoman, and he forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, "It's Xiaoman, you're here, your mother said you've become sensible recently."
"Uncle, I heard you sighing outside, why are you worried?"
Liu Zhaoqiang exhaled a puff of gray-white smoke, the air was a bit choking, he patted his thigh, and the whitened soot fell to the ground rustling, "It's the matter of the adults, the matter of the team."
Thinking about the purpose of her coming today, Su Xiaoman said: "I heard that you have been very busy with the production team recently, and the members are all grateful to the uncle, our production team will definitely be able to make a difference."
"When I came, I heard people say that our production team will lead women comrades to do side jobs and liberate production. We have mulberry trees here, which are suitable for silkworm breeding. Silkworms are another income and earn more work points.”
"I bought the tractor again, and it saves a lot of effort in the field... These are all good things."
Liu Zhaoqiang rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Some things can't be done so quickly, we have no experience in raising silkworms, the idea is good, and the same is true, but Uncle is very headache now, No one else in the village is willing."
"Pig farms, fish ponds, silkworm raising... all are good things, but if they are not raised well, it will be a waste of time and nothing will be harvested."
"You guys don't know how to raise silkworms. We haven't raised silkworms before, what should we do if we raise them to death?"
"I'm going to take it slow."
Liu Zhaoqiang sighed and put out the cigarette in his hand, "Now everyone has come to persuade me, and Secretary Gang Liang has also come, saying that I am too radical, and that too radical will easily screw things up."
"You can't be too radical, you have to take it step by step. Now the most worrying thing is that people in the village can't believe me, and they want to keep the same."
"I went to other people's production team before, they have mills, bought internal combustion engines, machines grind beans, oil and rice, what a hassle."
"The productivity is high, the women raise silkworms and sew, there are fish ponds, they also buy several tractors, and cooperate with the state-owned factories in the county... One day can be worth one yuan and five cents a day!" said Here, Liu Zhaoqiang's voice unconsciously increased several times.
The next second, like a punctured balloon, it collapsed instantly.
"It's a pity that our production team has less money, and everyone's income is low. Even if I have a heart, it's not easy."
"I finally got a batch of good seeds from someone, but I don't want to plant them. The uncles and the third masters of the Sun family came to scold me for not wanting to plant them, saying they were high-yield, and I didn't believe them. "
…
Liu Zhaoqiang sighed a few times, looked at his blackened fingers, and lit another cigarette, "Xiaoman, come here today—"
Before Liu Zhaoqiang's words were finished, Su Xiaoman interrupted him first: "Uncle, I heard people say how to raise silkworms before, and I know how to raise them."
"Uncle, don't worry about it, now many people don't believe you, because you are the only one who has seen the situation of the advanced demonstration team. , and refused to plant the good seeds that people say."
Believe it."
"Let our production team go with the educated youth."
"We have many leafy mulberry trees, and we can graft the leafy mulberry trees over there... Uncle, we can form a study team and go to other people's production teams to study."
Liu Zhaoqiang's eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot, forming a study team?
He never thought that his niece Su Xiaoman could say such a thing.
"Xiaoman, why are you suddenly? You used to be..."
Su Xiaoman immediately seized the opportunity to show himself, "Uncle, I have changed now, I have been working hard recently to read, study books, learn various knowledge, and make my thoughts positive. In the future, I will We must actively participate in labor construction.”
"Uncle, look, I am gifted in women's labor, although I can't go to the ground, but look, this is the dress I made for my sister-in-law before, look at the above embroidered."
"I have also read about grafting in the book, uncle, let me join the study team to learn advanced production technology, we women must also develop suitable labor, liberate productive forces."
"You, you..." Liu Zhaoqiang's expression became a bit indescribable, it was hard to believe that his niece would actually say these words, but his eyes couldn't help falling on what Su Xiaoman handed over on a small dress.
Don't say, the embroidery on the top is really good, the stitches are fine and neat, it must be made by a skilled and careful girl.
Their family, Xiaoman, is not only beautiful, but also in cooking and sewing.
But this kid was making a lot of noise about "Jiang Zhiqing" before, but now he promised him to devote himself to production and construction.
Liu Zhaoqiang was worried whether the sun was coming out of the west, or he was dreaming, or why did Secretary Liang, who supported him in the past, persuade him to give up, while his niece was "ambitious" and encouraged him to do it Production construction.
—Is this the reverse?
Forming a study team, let alone, this idea is somewhat beneficial. It is not that other production teams have done this in the newspapers. There is still encouragement in the province. Su Xiaoman, this child, should it be in the newspaper See the idea on ?
"You and Jiang Zhiqing..." Uncle Liu was hesitant to speak, Su Xiaoman's current change should not be for Jiang Zhiqing. Those educated youths who went to the countryside were all intellectuals. Su Xiaoman had also heard of things such as textbooks and other things he found before in order to have a good relationship with those educated youths.
Perhaps under the influence of the educated youth, after reading the relevant reports, what she said today, although it is an accident, can not be regarded as extremely abnormal, but...
What is the idea of his niece?
Su Xiaoman said: "Uncle, I am married now and have nothing to do with Jiang Zhiqing. My purpose now is to make myself happy in the future, only our production team With the development of productive forces, everyone's living standards will improve, and each member of the community will be able to live a happy life."
"If our production team's working day is worth more than one yuan a day, why don't you worry about a bad day? You must have enough to eat, warm clothes, and meat from time to time."
Liu Zhaoqiang was moved by the other party's words, and he thought the same before, yes, if the output of their production team increases, the dividends of each family will be more at the end of the year, He Chou will not have a good life Pass?
It's just the other folks who couldn't turn their minds around, but they didn't expect that it was his niece Su Xiaoman who turned around first.
Su Xiaoman's tone was extraordinarily sincere, "Uncle, I read some books recently, and I have come to understand that a good life is created by one's own hands."
The previous setbacks reduced his impulse, "Xiaoman, your idea is good, I will think about it again and discuss it with others."
