Wang Zhaozhao was sleeping soundly and didn't hear them come back at all. When she woke up in the morning, the adults were all at home. She didn't know what time they came back.
The rain is still falling.
"Uncle Si, what time did you come back in the evening? Did you sleep at night?" Wang Zhaozhao came back after washing up and met Wang Sibing.
"I didn't get back until two or three in the middle of the night and took a nap." Wang Sibing yawned and walked out with a dustpan. "You study. Let's take advantage of this morning to plant some cuttings in our private plots. We'll go back to work after dinner."
He went to trim the sweet potato vines and came back after dinner. Then he and the old couple Wang Dahai finished trimming them and finished the grafting before the whistle sounded for work.
Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help with this matter, not even with cutting the sweet potato vines at home... there weren't that many scissors at home.
Xie Ailian was preparing pig feed, and at the same time, she was cooking dried sweet potato porridge on the stove.
I dug up some sweet potatoes in the second half of last year and cooked them into real sweet potato porridge, which was very sweet and fragrant.
The rice is not called sweet potato rice. When cooking rice, peel the sweet potatoes and put them on top and steam them. It tastes delicious.
So, everyone's life will be better in the second half of the year. In addition to sweet potatoes, porridge, and sweet potato rice, there are also pumpkin porridge and pumpkin rice, all of which are sweet.
But by now, the pumpkins have been eaten long ago, the pumpkins that were planted are about to bloom, and the sweet potatoes have also been planted, and now we are eating dry sweet potato rice again.
The roads are difficult to walk on when it rains, and it is difficult for children to go to school, but influenced by the adults, everyone looks happy.
Of course, there are also people who are lazy and tired, or who really can't stand it. No one stipulates that they have to do public work and also work on their private plots. They just have to work less and harvest less, and tighten their belts a little bit in normal times.
The rain had not stopped after school that day, but the adults were still there when Wang Zhaozhao and his friends got home.
No need to ask, the sweet potatoes have been planted.
Thank you for your hard work during this period. Xie Ailian cut out a piece of bacon and stewed it with some dried bamboo shoots. The fragrance spread from ten miles away.
After working non-stop for a few days, everyone looked a little thinner, but they were all in good spirits.
For the first time, Wang Baojia did not come to eat the meat.
Xie Ailian felt uncomfortable and complained to Wang Dahai, "I don't know how the third brother made the decision. He needs an explanation, right? He was busy the past few days..."
She suddenly stopped and her face suddenly turned dark.
"I was wondering why it was so strange that the Shi family didn't even chase Shi Haiyan back and let her stay for so long... hehe."
ah?
What does it mean?
Wang Zhaozhao said he didn't understand and glanced at Wang Sibing secretly.
Huh? Her fourth uncle actually understood?
Wang Sibing understood her puzzled look, shook his head and said, "It's just right to leave her at home to plant sweet potato vines..."
ha……?
Wang Zhaozhao was stunned, haha, I understand.
So, Shi Haiyan should be back soon, right? The sweet potato vines in their village have been planted, and the same should be true in other villages.
This incident caused...
Sure enough, the next day when I got home from school, I saw Shi...Shi Haiyan's mother and sister-in-law in the yard.
They didn't come to send Shi Haiyan back, they came to reason with her.
The main idea is: Wang Sanbing has sent his wife back to her parents' home for so many days, he must bring a valuable gift and go to her home to bring her back.
"Baojia, your grandmother's family is quite smart." Wang Zhaozhao couldn't help but said something sarcastic.
So sometimes Shi Haiyan's naive and beautiful thoughts are hereditary, right?
In the countryside of this era, what does it mean to send a daughter back home? Don’t they know?
He actually asked her to stay at home to do some work for a few days, and then ran to his son-in-law's house to give orders. For the sake of the Shi family's face, they had to bring a heavy gift to apologize and take her back?
"Sister Zhao, we are really going to be without a mother in the future." Wang Baojia felt a lump in his throat and was about to cry.
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao didn’t know how to answer this question.
From her selfish point of view, she wholeheartedly supports Wang Sanbing and Shi Haiyan's divorce.
But for Wang Baojia and his friends, having a mother is definitely better than not having one.
"Wang Sanbing, what do you mean? Why don't you speak?" The old lady of the Shi family spitted for a long time, and finally realized that Wang Sanbing had been silent all the time and had not raised his eyes from beginning to end.
Then she looked at the old couple Wang Dahai and Xie Ailian, who had indifferent expressions, as if they didn't take them seriously at all.
"Aunt, I said everything I needed to say that day, and didn't you agree? Then I'm leaving and never going to the Shi family again. I'm leaving and I'll never go to your Shi family again."
Wang Sanbing dodged the old lady's nagging and finally spoke. His expression was cold and his tone was even colder.
"What?" Old Mrs. Shi doubted her ears.
I didn't panic for a moment.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Shi family rushed forward and pointed at Wang Sanbing's nose, "Wang Laosan, are you a man? You and your wife had a quarrel, and you actually sent her back to her parents' home? Over the years, my sister gave birth to two sons for you, and she worked hard for you like a slave..."
"You are wrong, we didn't quarrel." Wang Sanbing interrupted her.
What?
Shi Da's daughter-in-law suddenly couldn't do it anymore.
It's not a couple's quarrel...
"It is true that I gave birth to two sons. Although I didn't work hard and was not like a slave, I did do the work." Wang Sanbing continued.
Shi Da's daughter-in-law was completely stunned. No, aren't we going to have a fight? You are so calm, and you say such things, how can we have a fight?
"You admitted it yourself, so what gives you the right to...?" Return the goods? Return the person?
"Then let me tell you why. I'll just say this once..."
Wang Sanbing is really frighteningly calm.
Wang Zhaozhao pulled Wang Baojia and Wang Weiguo around the side and into the main hall. No matter what, they had to do their homework. Their village still had no electricity, and doing it at night would not only waste oil or firewood, but would also be bad for their eyes.
"To protect our family and our country, no matter what, we must study hard... Baojia, if you really can't concentrate on studying, then at least try to finish elementary school. Then find a way to learn a craft. Think carefully about what you would like to do in the next few years."
This was the first time Wang Zhaozhao talked about life with Wang Baojia so sincerely.
Studying is good, but it is not the only way out. If you can't learn, there is no need to force it.
Well.
Reading as much as possible is not a requirement, it is a hope.
While it's said that all roads lead to Rome, wouldn't knowing more words and understanding road signs on the way to Rome also help you choose the right route? Wouldn't that also give you more options?
"Sister Zhao..." Wang Baojia seemed to understand but was also very moved.
"Hurry up and do your homework."
“…”
Oh, you still have to do your homework now. Try to finish elementary school. It doesn’t mean just finishing the first grade.
Wang Zhaozhao said nothing more, but instead thought of making a plan to skip a grade in study, not only for Wang Xingwen, but also for Wang Weiguo.
