Also known as: Ning Meng, a TCM intern, unexpectedly transmigrates to the impoverished and backward 1950s. She is born into a family that has already given away five of its nine daughters, making h...
The reason Cuihua dared to say this was because she knew that starting in the second half of 1951, urban household registration began to be implemented, forming a household registration system.
Rural epidemiological investigations are more complicated and only gradually began in 1953. She could take this opportunity to register the household registrations of the three sisters under the Tao family.
In those days, the so-called initial household registration was actually just registering a name in a name book at the brigade. This was also the case in cities, where each district and street had an initial set of data. Since it didn't involve any benefits, if you wanted to get a household registration in those days, you could probably just slip in ten thousand yuan and get it done perfectly.
“Cuihua, it’s not that we’re preventing you three from registering your household registration with our family, it’s that if you register with our family, we won’t have any land left. Wasn’t your land allocated to your village? We just redistributed the land here, it won’t be redistributed again.”
"Grandma, we don't need the land. We just want to get our household registration. I'll go help my uncle and aunt. As long as we don't starve, that's fine. Besides, the land isn't set in stone. Maybe it'll be re-planned someday, and then we'll get the land back."
The grandparents exchanged a glance, but didn't think there was anything wrong with what they said. Because there are newborns every year, even if it's not changed every year, it will be planned at least once every five years. At that time, the land of these three sisters can really be transferred. As for settling down, it's not a big deal. At least in the town, there's nothing that money can't buy. Besides, Cuihua really helped Lingli a lot.
Cuihua rested at home for one night, and the next day she walked to the county town. Once there, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and got to work, which surprised Zhao Lingli.
I only found out what had happened to Cuihua after I asked her, and my sympathy for her instantly overwhelmed me.
"Alright, you can stay here and see who dares to mess with you. Your uncle and aunt will avenge you."
Cuihua was also determined to go all out. Anyway, she couldn't go back to that home. She was completely disappointed in them this time, and the last bit of hope she had was extinguished. As long as they dared to come, she had a way to deal with them and was not afraid of not being able to handle them.
She hasn't brought up the matter of registering the household registration yet. Anyway, it hasn't started this year yet, so she'll bring it up when it starts. If it costs a lot of money or she can't register, then so be it, it doesn't matter.
She remembered that when the Tao family was relocated to their village, it would be about ten years before they were finally relocated. What was the rush? They should focus on making money first.
Having money is the only way to secure a good life in the future.
The woman in my dream had a terrible life; she was also cowardly and weak. But after she tried to straighten her spine and shout out, it seemed like nothing was a big deal after all.
How come I never noticed this before?
She couldn't remember how old she was when she started having this dream. In order to change her former personality, she had tormented herself on and off for so many years.
The Tang family has now become accustomed to her assertiveness, which means her transformation has been successful, and her fate should be able to undergo a decisive change.
Tang Cuihua never went to school and only started learning arithmetic when she grew up. Apart from being able to write her own name and recognize a few common characters, she was essentially illiterate.
In this life, she still never had the chance to learn to read. It was only when she was working at the shop that a literacy class opened on the street, and she went to learn. This was also encouraged by her aunt. Usually, when she does some accounting, it takes her a long time to react because she is not very proficient in abacus calculation. So when she is checking accounts, she keeps moving the abacus and practicing.
In her dream, she knew nothing; in reality, she desperately wanted to learn more. Only by learning more could she avoid being looked down upon and suffering such persecution.
Xiao Jiu was initially upset that her older sister had just left, but then she returned the next day. After hearing what her sister said, she felt a deep disgust for her parents. How could there be such awful people in the world? It was even more hateful that she still had their blood flowing through her veins. It was absolutely terrible.
Now that my eldest sister has gone to visit my mother, my father goes home to sleep at night, and things have returned to the way they used to be. My grandfather can still brew a little wine at home, but he only sells it to the drunkards in the neighborhood.
Grandma doesn't need to take care of her. Pandi and Zhaodi basically take care of all the housework. She only needs to give them some pointers when cooking, and they can achieve excellent results. The three sisters have learned a lot of skills from Grandma.
She's had a bit of diarrhea these past few days, so her grandma fried some noodles for her and made a stir-fried noodle soup. The fragrant noodle soup had sesame oil and chopped cabbage in it, and it tasted really good. She ate a whole small bowl of it and even licked the bowl clean afterward because if she didn't, her grandma would lick the bowl, and she couldn't stand that sight, so she decided to take care of it herself.
"Oh my, our little Jiu is so good, she can lick herself clean. She's full today, how about I make her another meal tomorrow? She can't go straight to sleep after eating, go for a walk in the yard to digest her food."
Just as the ducks outside were about to return, Third Brother cracked his whip and went out to find the ducks and geese.
These poultry go out every day, sometimes they come back on their own, and sometimes you have to look for them. They're all on the same street, and the security is pretty good, so there's not much theft. Anyway, you have to be back before dark, otherwise the chances of them getting lost are higher.
These days, raising chickens, ducks, and geese is no easy task, especially for the elderly in the family. They cherish these little guys like the apples of their eye, relying on them to earn some living expenses when they go to the market.
Little Jiu doesn't cry easily like other children, but when the big white goose chases her and pecks her bottom, she still screams in fright.
The heartless guy was still laughing on the side, while the older guy ran to her side, grabbed her, and lifted her up.
After the crisis was over, she said to the big white goose, "Bad goose, bad goose, bit my butt!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously covered her bottom, an adorable gesture that made everyone burst into laughter. The older brother couldn't resist giving her a big kiss on her chubby cheek.
"My little Jiu'er is so cute. You have no idea how fast you were running just now. If I hadn't been holding you, you probably would have run into the wall."
When you first start walking, you usually can't stop, let alone run. It's all out of instinct, so when my brother said she bumped into the wall, that was based on experience.
Ever since her parents started selling braised eggs, the family has been saving up chicken and duck eggs. Grandma simply stewed goose eggs for her, but Xiaojiu felt it was too wasteful to eat them and shook her head, refusing to eat them even when fed. Grandma took a bite and looked at her with a curious expression.
"That's strange, why aren't you eating? These goose eggs are even better than chicken eggs. Is it because the taste isn't to your liking?"
So starting the next day, Grandma stopped stewing goose eggs for her and switched back to chicken eggs, or as she put it.
"It won't make a difference if you eat one or two more. I'll save one for you from now on."
