[Transmigration + Portable Space + Child-Rearing + Retirement]
Modern white-collar worker Su Xia had the same dream for several consecutive days. A few days later, after acquiring a portable ...
When Su Xia woke up, she knew what time it was. She turned around and quietly took the watch and alarm clock from the space to the old couple's room to check them.
Niuniu is here. She must be going with the kids from her family to dig wild vegetables.
No, Su Xia went to tidy up the space first. Looking at the full house in the space, she felt confident that she could survive in this time and space, at least she wouldn't starve to death.
Looking at the supplies on each shelf, I felt relieved.
The lower layer contains rice, flour, various grains, oils, and tap water.
Net 껗 clothes and pants, quilt fabrics...
I want to put all the things that can appear on the inner shelf.
They are all my fashionable clothes, cosmetics, packed snacks, milk tea, drinks, etc.
My own hardware, small appliances, and various small materials I bought are placed on a shelf.
Then I sorted out the money and receipts I bought and put them into two boxes according to the period of issue. One box contained 2,000 yuan in cash for the 1960s.
500 jin of grain coupons, 500 jin of meat coupons, 5 bicycles, 5 watches, 5 sewing machines, and 5 radios were put in a box.
The remaining two boxes will be sorted when the deadline comes.
The bicycle and sewing machine I bought were placed in the innermost middle aisle, which also took up a lot of space.
After looking at the supplies, Su Xia was completely relieved. So many people would starve to death. They would really die by looking for a piece of tofu.
Thinking about what I can use now, a watch, an alarm clock,
2 pieces of underwear, 2 pairs of socks, and wear them inside and outside to pay attention.
For the two pairs of small pants and vests for the children, take out the cloth bag you bought and put 5 jin of cornmeal, 2 jin of millet, 10 jin of sweet potatoes, 10 jin of potatoes, and 5 jin of miscellaneous grain flour in it. This one turns black when it is made.
He took it out from the space and put it in the kang cabinet, and then took out a lock.
Su Xia lay down and sorted out the family relationships in her memory.
The original owner's family was all honest and straightforward. She went back yesterday to borrow some food.
Provoked by the words of her two sisters-in-law, she was so angry that she threatened to come back later. What's more, she packed up all the leftover clothes, pants, quilts and other things in the room where she lived before she got married and carried them back.
Su Xia looked at the package and was glad that the original owner had such a temper, so that she could leave some room for maneuver.
The original owner had a stubborn temper, was willful, proud, didn't like to do farm work, and loved to talk too much, so they probably didn't have any common topics.
Not only did he suffer a loss, he even argued with his own parents. Although the Chen family's child was only three years old, he was too ignorant of the master. The original owner thought deep down that he was good-looking and a junior high school student, so he didn't want to gossip with them.
Su Xia quite likes the original owner's personality, not getting involved, taking care of herself, not suffering losses, making decisions, and continuing to maintain them.
Going to the fields to do farm work is to his liking. Su Xia may want to subvert the original owner's setting, so it's good to maintain it.
Let’s talk about Lao Chen’s family.
Chen's father, Chen Haisheng, is a parent who makes decisions and generally does not say a word about other matters.
Chen's mother, Bai Qiulin, was a skinny old lady with unkempt hair. Her clothes were patched but clean.
She is the boss of the Chen family. Everything from money to wild vegetables has to go through the old lady's hands.
The old couple has three sons.
Old Mr. Chen Jianguo, building railways all over the country, returning home depends on God's will.
Married to Su Xia, the original owner, they have a daughter, Chen Jinxuan, nicknamed Niuniu.
The elder Chen Jiandang married Xia Zhaodi, who lived three villages away from him. They both had:
꺶's daughter Chen Chun, 7 years old, nicknamed 꺶 Ya.
괗My daughter Chen Qiu, 5 years old, nicknamed Sanya.
The third daughter, Chen Dong, is 2 years old and her nickname is Wu Ya.
The third brother, Chen Jianjun, married Liu Chunxia from the neighboring village. They have:
꺶's daughter Chen Xia, 6 years old, nicknamed 괗Ya.
The youngest daughter, Chen Xue, is 4 years old and her nickname is 눁丫.
The younger generation of the Chen family is ranked according to age. Logically, Niu Niu is three years old, so she should be ranked fifth. It’s just that the original owner was arrogant and didn’t like names like Yaya Ya, which she chose herself.
The Chen family has no boys in this generation, and has always been the after-dinner entertainment for other villagers in the team.
In rural areas, not having a son is like having no descendants, with no one to carry on the family line.
Because of this, the old couple always raised their heads, rarely went out for a walk, and basically stayed at home.
Mother Chen gave birth to three sons herself, and she always felt that she was a hero, and she boasted about it at home.
The girl, who looked at her grandchildren all the time, never smiled and her temper became more and more irritable. If anyone at home did a good job, she would definitely scold them, and the old lady could scold from today to tomorrow.
The old lady would treat her granddaughter harshly, but she was also a fair lady without a smile on her face.
At that time, my third brother's wife looked down on me and I was so angry that I directly bit the hen that laid eggs.
The two younger brothers and sisters kept their heads down and had sleepy eyes. They felt insecure in the countryside without a son.
Chen's mother was okay with the original owner:
First, the original owner was asked to marry by Chen's mother herself, and her son was also willing.
However, her son was often away from home, and the original owner basically lived as a widow. Sometimes she didn't even have the confidence to speak out.
The third and most important thing is that Su Xia's mother, Su Mu, gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The old Su family has three grandchildren, and Chen's mother placed all her hopes of having grandchildren on the old family.
So the original owner did farm work and housework. Chen's mother also said that she had agreed to it before the marriage, but for the sake of family harmony, she separated the original owner's family.
The original owner took the monthly salary of 35 yuan sent by Chen Jianguo, and bought food directly from the team when food was distributed. In addition to the occasional food coupons and other bills, and without having to work, the original owner lived a very comfortable life.
It's because of the famine that people are forced to spend their money on food. The original owner might die.
There are three rooms in the front of the Chen family. The bedroom on the west side is where Chen's parents live. In the middle is the kitchen, which is connected to the west bedroom. There is a stove and an iron pot. Next to the stove is a clay stove for boiling water.
There is a row of cabinets against the north wall, half of which are used to store tableware, and the other half are locked up to contain food. The valuables are kept in the kang cabinet in Chen's mother's bedroom.
To the east is a bedroom occupied by the three sons of the Chen family.
Su Xia lives here now. Thanks to the later connection, the door opens separately, and it is basically an independent space.
The yard is very large, with a row of rooms on the west side, two of which belong to the families of the first and third oldest brothers.
The roofs are all tiled, so at least when it rains outside, it will drizzle inside.
A small yard is built on the east side to grow seasonal vegetables.
Passing by the house, go around to the backyard. There is a firewood shed on the west side and a toilet behind the shed.
There are two sheds next to the toilet, which were originally used to raise pigs and chickens, but are now empty. The rest of the space is used to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbages, etc., and it will take another month to harvest.
There is a well in the middle of the backyard. Chen's father dug it himself with San'er. This well is convenient for drinking water.
The Chen family's living conditions are pretty good, after all, they have many strong laborers. The room they lived in was much more spacious than that of other people in the team. Many families even lived on one kang.
