Chapter 487 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 31
That afternoon, Xinghua Village was as lively as New Year's Day. Every household stewed meat, and the whole village was filled with the rich aroma of meat.
Su Li's family of five sat around a square table. On the table were a pot of braised pork, a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a stir-fried chicken offal, and a dish of vegetables, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. There was also a bowl of rice in front of each person.
Such food may not be a big deal in the 21st century, and it can even be said to be extremely simple, but in this era it is the best.
Liu Xiaomei first served Su Li a bowl of fragrant chicken soup, then put a chicken leg in her bowl, then served half a bowl of soup to each of the twins, and gave the remaining chicken leg to Su Xiaomei.
Looking at Xiao Shitou's expectant eyes, Liu Xiaomei paused with her chopsticks and smiled as she picked up two chicken wings and put them into his bowl.
"Come on, Little Stone, haven't you been clamoring for meat? There's so much meat today, you better eat it quickly."
When Little Shitou saw that there was more meat in his bowl than in his older sister's and younger sister's, he grinned at them, then skillfully picked up a piece with his chopsticks and started eating.
"Mmm, it smells so good, the meat is so good."
Su Li glanced at his silly brother who looked very satisfied, and felt it was too much to bear to watch.
Seeing that her son did not notice her favoritism, Liu Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief and told the three siblings to eat slowly before she put the chicken head and chicken butt from the bowl into Su Jianshe's bowl.
"You've worked hard, eat more!"
"Thank you, my wife. You've worked hard, too. Eat more meat to replenish your body!"
Su Jianshe looked at the extra chicken butts and heads in the bowl and smiled happily, eating them with big mouthfuls without any disgust.
It's good to have meat to eat these days, so why would he be dissatisfied? It's just that his wife loves him. If it were any other mother, she wouldn't even be willing to give him a chicken butt.
The meat is so delicious!
However, when I thought about the origin of this meat, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In the prophetic dream, Xiao Li did not have the protection of him and his wife, and under the torture of his mother and Su Baozhu, he grew up to be a timid but extreme person.
Since they separated early in this life, Xiao Li never suffered any hardship or grievance, but he grew up to be a fearless person.
In the past, he just ran around the village alone and fought with some children in the village, but now he is brave enough to go into the mountains.
No matter how strong she is, she is just a child. Today she only encountered a wild boar. What if she encounters a blind bear or a tiger one day?
The more Su Jianshe thought about it, the more worried he became. He felt that he could not let Su Li continue like this. He had to find something for her to do so that she would not have time to think about going into the mountains.
Xiaoli is only six years old. What can a child of this age do?
He would definitely be reluctant to let her go with them to work and earn work points, but he couldn't take her to play in the fields.
"Xiao Li is six years old this year, so he can go to school when school starts in the fall!"
Going to school, he has teachers to supervise him. Going home, he has to do homework, and he and his wife are watching over him. Xiao Li probably has no time to think about going up the mountain.
Liu Xiaomei nodded immediately after hearing this: "Okay, Xiaoli is going to school, so she needs to dress well. Tomorrow I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth and make Xiaoli two new sets of clothes. I will also buy some coarse cloth to make Xiaoli a school bag. Notebooks and pens should also be prepared in advance."
Su Li listened to her parents' brief words and decided that she would go to school in the fall, and she did not object.
Although she doesn't need to go to school at all, her current status requires it!
How to explain her literacy if she doesn’t go to school?
Not to mention that she also had a mission to stand high up and let Su Baozhu look up to her.
Although she can do it even without going to school, how can she explain her literacy if she doesn't go to school?
It just so happens that Su Baozhu is going to elementary school this year, so let’s start everything with studying!
At the same time, in the old house of the Su family.
There was a burst of banging sounds coming from the Su family's kitchen. Lu Zhaodi was cursing while cooking dinner.
"What a bunch of heartless bastards! If I had known you were so unfilial, I should have thrown you all into the toilet and drowned you, so you wouldn't have to piss me off now."
"They've divided up so much meat, but they don't even bother to honor their parents. They only think about their own families. What a bunch of conscienceless beasts! They'll be struck by lightning sooner or later."
When Lu Zhaodi smelled the aroma of meat in the air, she knew that her sons' families had already prepared dinner. She was so angry that she slammed the kitchen knife in her hand.
What a heartless bunch of people. Isn't it just that we gave them a little less when we divided the property?
She lost her food and money, who else could she ask for it from if not them?
Besides, they didn't give her much. Each family only gave her five kilograms of food, and didn't give her a penny.
For such a small matter, they actually held a grudge against her, their biological mother, and even built a wall in the yard, completely isolating their small family and completely separating them from the old couple.
It sounds nice to say that you can reduce friction by separating the yard after dividing the family, but it’s because you don’t want to be filial to your mother and don’t want to continue working for the family!
Thinking about the past few years, Lu Zhaodi regretted her decision.
If she had known that dividing the family would lead to the sons losing control, she would have said she would never divide the family.
After the family split up, all the housework fell on her. She had to cook, wash clothes and take care of Baozhu every day. She hadn't done so much work in 10 or 20 years. How could she bear it?
She regretted it within two days.
She didn't want to split up the family anymore. She wanted the eldest and second sons to tear down the courtyard wall and then reunite as one family and continue living like before.
Unexpectedly, they were all unfilial sons who forgot their mothers after getting married. No matter how she cried and made a fuss, the two daughters-in-law refused to give in. The two unfilial sons just watched their mother working hard at housework.
Things were a little better in the past few years. The fourth and fifth sons could come back after work to help cook, cut grass for pigs, feed pigs, and take care of their younger sister.
She has grown older in recent years and doesn't want to work anymore, so she wants to marry off her fourth and fifth sons and let them take over the household chores.
But marrying a wife requires money, and there is no money at home!
Although the deceased wife left a lot of money to her unfilial sons, it was all lost when the family was divided.
She had no extra money, so she could only ask a matchmaker to find a family for the two brothers that would not ask for a dowry, or even give them some money.
Under such conditions, she originally thought that finding a young widow with children would be the best she could hope for.
Unexpectedly, there were two blind young ladies who were attracted by the looks of the fourth and fifth sons and were willing to marry them without any gift or dowry.
She thought that as long as she married a daughter-in-law, she could enjoy the wealth of her mother-in-law again and live a good life with food and clothes provided for her.
As a result, these two daughters-in-law were both very stubborn and even more pretentious than her. They cried and screamed, and as soon as they entered the house, they started to make a fuss about dividing the family property.
She didn't want to agree, but the families of her two daughters-in-law were unreasonable. A large group of people came and stood in the yard with ferocious looks, forcing her and the old man to agree to divide the family.
It was also at that time that she understood why the two daughters-in-law agreed to marry into her family. It turned out that the two families were too difficult to deal with, and the girls were notoriously fierce, so it was impossible for them to get married.
The people from her daughter-in-law's family were arrogant and unreasonable, and her two younger sons were like dumb and didn't say a word. No matter how much she cried or played the emotional card, they still had to separate in the end.
She originally thought that separating the eldest, second and third brothers would be her most difficult days.
Unexpectedly, after the fourth and fifth children were separated, her life would become even more difficult!
The old man only had to go to work to earn work points, but she not only had to go to the fields to earn work points, but also had to go home to do laundry, cooking, and housework. She was so tired every day that she could not even straighten her back.
Lu Zhaodi cut the meat quickly and poured it into the pot without blanching it. While she was lighting the fire, she continued to curse!
