Chapter 46, Everyone is Equal
"Does dad have any relatives at home?" An Qianqian didn't really want to do anything, she just wanted to hear it.
An's mother did not hide it, "Yes, your father has two older brothers, but their relationship with your father is not very good." Her daughter is grown up, and it is time for her to know.
"Your father and his two older brothers have different mothers, and your grandmother died of illness not long after giving birth to your father. After that, your grandfather remarried a wife who was not very kind to your father. Later, the country intended to send young people to the countryside for construction. Your father was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, and he was sent to the countryside by your step-grandmother."
When An Qianqian heard this for the first time, she was still a little overwhelmed.
The sending of educated youth to the countryside began as early as 1955, and it was neither voluntary nor involuntary.
And Father An was the one who volunteered.
After leaving that home, An's father's life was hard, but he became much more cheerful.
Later, I met An's mother in the countryside.
And An's mother also went to the countryside voluntarily.
They went to the Northwest that year.
After that I was transferred again, and somehow I came to Xiaxixi Village.
Originally they were assigned to Xiaxixi Village, but the population of Xiaxixi Village was too large and the land was too small.
In the end, the people had to be divided into two groups, and the current Shangxi Village came into being.
Decades passed in the blink of an eye.
"Then uncles and uncles weren't nice to dad either?" An Qianqian was hearing these things for the first time and was a little confused.
Actually, there is not much difference in age between An Fu and the two brothers of the An family.
The relationships are very good.
An Fu was forced to go to the countryside by his stepmother.
At that time, the eldest brother of the An family was not at home. An's father knew about it, but he was reluctant to make his wife sad because he had many sons.
So he nodded and agreed to let An Fu go to the countryside.
After so many years, An Fu also missed his two elder brothers.
I've been to letters, but they're all as deep as the sea.
Then those things happened (ten years later), and we lost contact.
"Qianqian, if you have the chance, you can go to Haicheng. It's your father's hometown and there are people he misses there." Mother An sighed.
If possible, she would also like to go home, but she is afraid that the people in her family don't want to see her.
It’s over, it’s all over.
She no longer missed that home and just pretended that she, the unfilial daughter, did not exist.
For the sake of her brothers and sisters, her parents wanted her to marry an old widower as a concubine, but fortunately, she escaped.
Going to the countryside was supported by the state at that time. She heard it would be hard, but it was her only way to escape.
It is said that if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. This old saying is true.
But no one expected that she and Ango, two poor people, would end up together.
But An Ge was unlucky and didn't live to see Qianqian grow up.
If Ango were still alive now...
"Haicheng." An Qianqian remembered the name in her heart. If she had the chance, she would definitely go and see it.
She will also look for the people her mother mentioned. Those who are good to her father are all good people.
"Okay, these things happened more than 20 years ago. Help mom take these preserved eggs to the warehouse." Just throw them into the millet, wait a few days, and then you can eat them.
"good."
She hasn't made the gift she promised to give to Han Meng last time, and she has nothing to do at home.
She planned to go to the mountains to look for herbs to see if she could make it herself.
In a month or so, the autumn harvest will begin, and the family will be busy, so she will have no time.
Mao family.
Liu Ying counted the money on her bed at night, and spread out the folded corners of the coins one by one.
"Haha, three hundred and eighty yuan." This was the money she earned in the past six months. Liu Ying counted it over and over again.
Mao Jianxing was also excited.
"Wife, how much meat can we buy with this much money?" Mao Jianxing held a few ten-yuan big unity notes in his hand.
When Liu Ying heard what he said, she glared at him and said, "You good-for-nothing, just eat by yourself." She didn't expect that she could earn so much money.
"Then what else are you thinking about?" Mao Jianxing was unhappy: "It's so good to eat meat." After saying that, he looked at his wife, "When there is meat on the table, you grab it faster than anyone else."
Liu Ying was furious, "What? I'm so tired every day, what's wrong with eating some meat? Can't I eat it?" This man always makes her angry.
"You can eat it. I didn't say you can't eat it." Mao Jianxing was a little confused as to why his wife was so angry.
"snort."
After counting for a while, the couple put the money away.
Mao Jianxing was still saying that he would go buy meat tomorrow.
As for Liu Ying, she was thinking about how to thank her younger brother and sister-in-law.
From the next day, Liu Ying talked to her mother-in-law about the money matter.
Li Yulan was shocked, "It's really that much." Hundreds of yuan, my God, that much money, it must be several months' salary for the workers.
"Well, Mom, tell me what I should buy to thank my sister-in-law." Liu Ying came to ask for advice.
Hearing what her eldest daughter-in-law said, Li Yulan felt relieved. She knew that the idea of raising chickens was agreed by her second daughter-in-law.
She was still worried about Liu Ying, but unexpectedly, she still remembered her feelings.
"No need to buy anything. Qianqian doesn't need it. If you're interested, you can help her family harvest rice during the autumn harvest." Li Yulan is happy that her family is harmonious.
"This is what I should do. How can it be considered as a thank you?" Liu Ying was not happy.
We are all family, so it is normal for them to help out during the busy farming season. How can it be considered as a thank you gift?
Li Yulan choked up. In the end, it was she, the mother-in-law, who was wrong.
"So what do you want?"
Liu Ying told her mother-in-law about her idea. "I see many young girls wearing that beautiful skirt. Do you think I should buy one for Qianqian?" She had never worn one in all the time they had been together.
Li Yulan choked again.
This daughter-in-law, even though she has money, doesn't know how to be filial to her mother-in-law.
"what ever."
Liu Ying is also a generous person, she is not stingy.
He is stingy only because his family is poor.
The next day, she took Mao Jianxing out.
Today I'm going out not only to buy a thank-you gift, but also to buy a chick.
Mao Jianxing was not happy at first, but when he heard his wife say they wanted to buy meat, he happily followed her.
The son was thrown directly to his mother.
The couple worked in the supply and marketing cooperative and found everything new to them.
In order to make her man work harder, Liu Ying bought him meat as soon as she arrived.
But Mao Jianxing was very happy.
"How much is this dress?" Liu Ying looked at the beautiful dress and didn't even dare to touch it.
The salesperson glanced at Liu Ying without even raising his butt.
There was contempt in his eyes. "Eighteen dollars a piece." After quoting a price, he went back to his own business.
Eighteen yuan is indeed quite expensive. She only charges a few yuan for a piece of skin.
"What about this?" However, she could accept the price. The things Qianqian gave to her family were not cheap.
The man raised his eyelids and said, "Twenty-two."
Liu Ying wanted to ask for a few more pieces. If they were suitable, she wanted to buy two for Qianqian to wear alternately.
But the salesman was not happy. Before she could even open her mouth, he started to hit her and said, "Can you afford it? If you can't afford it, get out of the way and don't get in the way here."
What he said was very impolite.
The data has regressed recently, so everyone please keep working hard and let’s get the votes moving.
Asking for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, collections, comments, and investments...
