Chapter 100 (1)

There was a tea bowl, a half-eaten apple, a knitting mat, and a broom.

At the same time, it was accompanied by unbearable curses.

"Xu Changshan, you still have the nerve to come back? Why don't you just die like your mother!"

"My daughter Yulan followed you to show her filial piety. She knelt in the mourning shed for three days in such a cold weather. It's fine if you don't feel sorry for her! But you even colluded with outsiders to bully your own wife. Are you still a human being?"

"You are such a loser! You only dare to keep quiet! Your own wife got beaten up and you didn't even bother to protect her, you coward!"

"That's right! You protect your brother and his wife, why don't you go and sleep with them? Why do you come to our Wang family? Your sister-in-law is not a good person either. She is so shameless at her age and always instigates her brother-in-law to get a divorce!"

"It's a pity that there is no way to fix a broken brick. Xu Changshan is a coward. How can he have the guts to divorce our Yulan? Their house is ours. He will have nothing after the divorce. We won't give him the child either."

"He doesn't dare to divorce Yulan! In recent years, whenever Yulan mentioned divorce, he would cry and beg. I don't know why he was blinded by Zhuyou this time and dared to do this to Yulan!"

“…”

Xu Rushan's face was as gloomy as water, and he patted Xu Changshan's shoulder from behind.

Zhu Meizhen opened her mouth and closed it again.

Some old memories suddenly came to my mind at this moment.

The Xu family has always been poor. When Zhu Meizhen came into the family, her grandparents were still alive, and her uncle and aunt were not married.

It was still the kang of the Xu family, where six adults slept.

At that time, the people sleeping behind the curtain were Xu Rushan and Zhu Meizhen.

For example, my younger sister-in-law is still young, but my uncle is not young anymore and is an adult.

One night, when Xu Qiushi was working with her, Uncle Yi happened to wake up.

Uncle Yi was woken up by the urge to pee. He didn't dare move when he heard the noise, for fear of embarrassing Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen. Even he felt uncomfortable listening to it.

There are three urgent needs for people that are particularly difficult to bear.

Finally, the uncle couldn't bear it anymore and had to get off the bed to pee.

Even though he stood up quietly, it startled Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen.

Zhu Meizhen was so ashamed that she dared not see her uncle and went back to her parents' home to hide for a long time.

It was at that time that the family started arranging a marriage for my uncle.

Uncle Yi never mentioned it, but Zhu Meizhen guessed that Uncle Yi's anxiety to get married must be related to that night.

Uncle Yi didn't like Wang Yulan, who had a mean face, but when he heard that the Wang family could provide them with a house, he agreed without hesitation and the wedding was held very quickly.

It took less than three months from blind date to marriage.

As time passed, Zhu Meizhen had forgotten that awkward night and only knew that her uncle had married a fierce and rude daughter-in-law.

Wang Yulan does not follow the rules and does not support the elderly.

At the beginning, the straightforward Zhu Meizhen quarreled with Wang Yulan and would scold Yishu when she was angry.

Just like the Wang family now, they cursed him.

Now I suddenly understand. At that time, my uncle told Wang Yulan that she didn't want to divorce. She probably just didn't want to live in the Xu family again after the divorce.

At that time, Zhu Meizhen was already pregnant, and with the addition of another child, the house was still so crowded that there was no room to sleep.

At that time, Weizhuang Commune was still called Weizhuang Town, and it was even poorer overall. Were they so poor that they had to eat Guanyin soil and peel tree bark to build houses? It was unrealistic.

Later on, I felt angry and distressed towards my uncle, so I simply stopped interacting with his family.

I didn't expect that Uncle Yi's status in the Wang family would be so bad. He is really not even as good as a live-in son-in-law.

Uncle Yi turned around, and Xu Qiushi pointed at himself, then at Uncle Yi, and then pointed behind him.

It means, come behind me.

Before Uncle Yi could say anything, Zhu Meizhen rolled her eyes and complained about her husband, "Come on! What are you doing up there? You can't even say a word now."

Zhu Meizhen did not lower her voice when she spoke. The people in the room heard her voice and were silent for a moment. Then there was the sound of chair legs moving and cups hitting the table. Then there was the sound of tapping footsteps.

Aunt Yi was the first to jump to the door. She leaned on the door frame with her hands and looked out. Her eyes first fell on Uncle Yi and then looked at the Xu family.

Now she is at her parents' home, her home turf, and she has obviously regained her former arrogance and domineering attitude.

"Xu Changshan, how dare you come to my house when you were so fierce just now? It turns out that you have found a backer! What, you just took advantage of me and think that my Wang family is easy to bully?"

Uncle Yi shook his head, "I'm not like you. I won't bully others by taking advantage of my power. I just want to tell you that we should get a divorce!"

Auntie was obviously shocked, her voice suddenly rose a few pitches, "Xu Changshan, tell me again, what are you going to do?"

"I say, let's get a divorce!"

During that period, in the entire Wei Zhuang Commune, with more than 10 to 30 production teams, there had not been a single divorce in several years.

This shows how shocking divorce is.

The aunt was dumbfounded.

She had talked about divorce many times in the past, just to scare Uncle Yi.

But she was not stupid. Her uncle said this not to scare him.

Auntie was pulled behind an old lady. The old lady had gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, but she still looked 80% like Auntie.

"Changshan. Do you know what you are saying?" The old lady tapped her cane, her eyes stern.

It's obvious that he was definitely not a good person when he was young.

Xu Changshan saw the old lady trembling all over. It was obvious that he was more afraid of his mother-in-law than his aunt.

Lu Yuanzheng calmly took a step forward, stood behind Uncle Yi, and patted him on the back.

Uncle Yi looked back at Lu Yuanzheng, and also saw the Xu family standing behind him. He let out a breath, relaxed his tense body, and nodded: "Yes, I want a divorce!"

"Mom, get out of the way! I want to see how this guy can have the guts to divorce my sister." A man in his thirties squeezed to the door.

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

She had heard that her aunt had a younger brother, but she didn't know that the younger brother was so strong, or to be more precise, fat.

People these days have just had enough to eat, commuting mainly relies on walking, and work relies on raw labor, so there are very few fat people.

In the entire Taoyuan Brigade, Xu Wen had only seen a few people whose weight was obviously over the standard.

Wang Yulei was not among the people he had met.

Of course, maybe because she was either in school or herding sheep, she had little contact with the production team and didn't see many people.

As soon as Aunt Yi saw him, she pointed at Lu Yuanzheng and complained: "Leilei, it's him! He beat me and my brother."

When Wang Yulei heard this, he clasped his hands together and cracked his joints, then twisted the corners of his mouth into a smile and walked out the door step by step.

Xu Wen shook his head slightly. Compared with the mother and daughter, Wang Yuguang and Wang Yulei did not look fierce.

Perhaps he deliberately made this ferocious expression in order to scare people.

Frankly, it's kind of funny.

Just because Xu Wen thinks so doesn't mean others think so.

At least Uncle Yi was really scared. He swallowed and stepped back.

Lu Yuanzheng leaned sideways, waited for his uncle to retreat behind him, and then straightened up to stand in front of his uncle.

Wang Yulei raised his hand and patted Lu Yuanzheng's chest three times with the back of his hand, and snorted coldly: "Boy, you are quite arrogant!"

Wang Yulei has used this trick on many people, and people like Yishu would basically be knocked to the ground by him.

In his eyes, although Lu Yuanzheng was tall but thin, he would probably fall down with one hit.

But Lu Yuanzheng did not fall, not only did he not fall, he did not even take a single step back.

Lu Yuanzheng first lowered his head to look at the place where he had touched him, then flicked his fingers in disgust and said one word: "Dirty!"

Wang Yulei: “…”

Say he is dirty?

Lu Yuanzheng raised the corner of his lip slightly and kindly explained to him, "Don't be confused. I'm talking about you. Besides, there's an old saying that goes 'reciprocity'. You've said hello, so it's my turn now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he imitated what Wang Yulei had done just now, with the back of his hand facing outwards and his fingertips pointing towards himself, and hit Wang Yuguang three times in the same position.

The first two times, Wang Yulei took a step back. With the last time, Wang Yulei lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

The Wang family was shocked.

Wang Yulei is stronger than Wang Yugang and has never lost a fight in the commune.

For a moment, the Wang family was filled with confusion and looked at Lu Yuanzheng. They unconsciously suppressed their arrogance and helped Wang Yugang up.

At this time, several cadres finally arrived.

Before, when Xu Qiushi and his team went to call for help, it was different from the usual way of calling for help at home. This time, they only went to the door of the cadre's house, called the person out but did not go in. After they finished speaking, they ran to Wang's house without waiting for the cadre to come.

Firstly, because I am in mourning, it is not convenient for me to visit other people's homes.

Firstly, they were afraid that if Xu asked them, they would suffer losses.

The cadres all had things going on at home, and I couldn't just follow them. I at least went into the house to say hello and changed my clothes before coming over. That's why I was so late.

Zhu Meizhen saw the captains and went up to them first, "Captain Big, Captain Seven, you're here! You have to help our Xu family today!"

The captain also disliked the Wang family and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"What else can we do?" Zhu Meizhen pretended to be bitter, shaking her head and sighing, "Didn't my mother just get buried this afternoon? Don't my brothers and sisters have to settle accounts now?"

This is a normal phenomenon, and all families in the commune do this.

The seventh captain nodded, but the big captain glanced at the word "filial piety" on Xu Qiushi's arm, frowned and asked, "Then why do you stay at home? Why are you coming to the Wang family?"

Xu Wen said, "Captain, we have no other choice."

The captain likes educated people, especially students from prestigious universities like Xu Wen.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the captain's expression softened a little.

Xu Wen narrated what had happened briefly and to the point, without adding any extraneous details.

So even Aunt Yi and Wang Yugang couldn't say anything.

The captain looked at the brothers Wang Yugang and Wang Yulei sternly, "Do you two want to try prison again?"

Wang Yugang was there first, and Wang Yulei had never eaten it before, so it was his first experience when he went in.

Wang Yugang and Wang Yulei shut up and lowered their heads in silence.

They knew the captain's temper well, and if he got angry, he would send them a letter of introduction to the police station.

Wang Yulei has never been to jail, but he is a frequent visitor to the police station.

Wang Yugang has been released after serving his sentence and is still in the probation period. If the production team accuses him of causing trouble and endangering the village, that would be a bit troublesome.

The captain looked at the aunt who was already behind him, "Wang Yulan!"

"Here." Auntie was also afraid of the captain.

She was usually lazy, and when the team leader caught her, he really deducted her work points.

Wang Yulan couldn't drink dew, so if she wanted to eat, she had to go to the fields and earn work points.

"It's fine if you don't take care of your mother-in-law when she's sick! Don't you want to pay for her medical expenses?"

Wang Yulan muttered, "It's not our turn to pay in the first place. Zhu Meizhen said it herself, I don't have to worry about the old lady's death."

These were the words Zhu Meizhen said angrily when the two quarreled. The original words were, "From now on, Xu Qiushi and I will support our mother! We will not hesitate to use you! Even if mother dies, we will not need you in the future."

"You can ignore it." The team leader nodded, "but Xu Changshan can't. This is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him! When the old lady owed medical bills, the production team signed a guarantee. If she can't pay it back, the village will have to pay it back. I'll pay your share first, and I'll deduct it from your salary in the spring!"

When she heard that they were still deducting money, Wang Yulan got anxious, "Why? I've already given it to them."

Xu Wen retorted: "Who will testify?"

Wang Yugang came out and said, "I testify that I saw it." He pointed at his brothers and said, "They all saw it."

Xu Wen pointed at the people on his side and asked Wang Yugang, "Who did you give it to? Point it out."

Wang Yugang: “…”

An aunt grabbed it and said, "I threw it on the ground."

"You just threw it on the ground and didn't give it to us. It would have been blown away in such a strong wind!"

"You!" Auntie was so angry that her hands were shaking. She wanted to tear Xu Wen apart, but she didn't dare to offend Lu Yuanzheng and the captain.

The captain waved his hands, "That's enough! It's New Year's Day, why are you not at home for the reunion? It's settled. Besides..." The captain looked at Uncle Yi, "Do you really want a divorce?"

Uncle Yi nodded.

"No regrets?"

"No regrets." Uncle Yi said firmly.

I didn’t want him to be single at his age and cause his mother to worry.

Of course the most important thing is that they dare not resist the Wang family, for fear that the Wang family will deal with the Xu family.

Now that my mother is gone, I still have Lu Yuanzheng to protect me. There is nothing I should be afraid of.

"Then why are you all talking so much here?" The captain was puzzled. "If you want a divorce, just come to me and Director Li to write a letter of introduction."

Xu Wen sighed, "We don't want to trouble you. But the Wang family won't give in. If we don't come, they will beat us to the door. We are poor and can't stand being beaten."

The captain's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, your family can't be smashed, but the Wang family can?

So many people coming to the Wang family are definitely not here to wish everyone a happy new year.

However, he would not say anything, and only asked the Wang family members: "From now on, if the Xu family is short of anything, or if anything happens in the yard, I will blame you. The missing items will be deducted from your wages."

As a result, the Wang family would never dare to cause trouble for the Xu Wen family again, unless they didn't want to live anymore.

It is definitely not possible not to earn work points. Even if you don't want the surplus, the population's food is also exchanged for work points, so you can't go without food.

The Wang family members all looked very ugly.

The mother of the aunt pouted in dissatisfaction, "Captain, it's inappropriate for you to take sides like this, isn't it?"

"Auntie," the captain said slowly, "you should act according to your conscience and consider other people's perspectives. Imagine you were sick. Your daughter-in-law wouldn't let her son stay with you, wouldn't pay for your medical expenses, and even refused to pay for your funeral expenses after you passed away. How would you feel, auntie?"

Auntie’s mother: “…”

You are sick and hospitalized!

But the captain didn't scold her, he just said what if.

And she absolutely didn't like this assumption, and she couldn't refute or agree with it.

As for what she said against the captain, she also has a daughter-in-law, and she is also very old. She might really get sick one day, and what if her daughter-in-law uses what she said today to accuse her?

If you agree, then doesn't that mean you are acknowledging that what the captain said is right?

I was so defeated that I couldn't say a word.

"In ancient times, there were seven grounds for divorce. According to this, how many of them did Wang Yulan break? Being unfilial to her parents-in-law was one, being childless was the first, and causing trouble and sowing discord was the third. The Xu family should have divorced you three times and left you speechless. Although modern society emphasizes gender equality, these grounds do not need to be followed.

But we ordinary people live a down-to-earth life. Who would want to marry a female demon and keep her at home? My mother is still alive! What's wrong with her wanting a divorce? Anyway, you don't seem to care much. Just get a divorce, right?"

Wang family: “…”

Xu family: "..."

Xu Wen was also stunned when he heard this.

Before Xu Wen, he rarely spoke to the Xu family and interacted even less with other people. He really didn't expect that his captain was so good at "quoting from ancient times and talking about the present."

Not to mention the Wang family was speechless, even the Xu family was a little dumbfounded.

The Wang family took a while to react and became really anxious.

Divorce causes much greater damage to a woman's reputation than a man's!

An auntie rushed over and said, "Captain! People say 'It is better to demolish a temple than to regret a marriage'. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this? Even though you are the captain, you can't interfere with other people's family life like this, right? Otherwise, I will go to the commune to complain about you."

"Don't worry. The commune will start work the day after tomorrow." The team leader pulled up the collar of his coat, not caring about the threat from his aunt, "Then do you know another old saying? It's 'If I had known it now, I wouldn't have done it then'! Wang Yulan, the people in the commune are not blind. Everyone has seen how you treated Xu Changshan and the old lady of the Xu family over the years. Behind closed doors, this is indeed a matter between you two. As long as one of you is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, no one can interfere. But if either of you is unwilling to go on, come to me, and I will definitely write a letter of introduction. If you are not satisfied, just go and complain to me.

"Also, encouraging reconciliation rather than separation refers to normal couples who occasionally quarrel. But not you! This is one-sided abuse from you, understand?"

The old lady of the Wang family snorted heavily, "Captain, I don't accept it!"

"Old lady, I don't care whether you obey or not. It's Xu Changshan and Wang Yulan who are getting divorced, not you and Old Master Wang."

Sang Xiaoqing sighed and whispered, "I never noticed that our captain's words were so irritating."

It's not Sang Xiaoqing's fault. On weekdays, the teams are divided into different tasks, and they interact most with the team leaders.

The ones who deal most with the captain are the officers and team leaders.

The Wang family found that they couldn't scold or beat the enemy, and the captain was waiting here to stop them, so they were at a loss for a moment.

"It's getting cold. Why are you standing at someone's door and saying this? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for your family to sit on the kang and drink tea and crack melon seeds during the New Year holidays?" The team leader shuddered and left first, saying to Uncle Yi as he walked, "Wait until the people from the commune go to work, then come find me and I'll write you a divorce introduction letter."

Uncle Yi responded and watched the captain walk away.

Lu Yuanzheng held Xu Wen's hand, and felt that her hand was also cold. He said softly, "Let's go home too."

Xu Wen hummed and unconsciously put his hand into his pocket.

The group returned to Xu's house again.

Xu Wen was called away by the captain to go to his home to get money.

Xu Wang comforted his aunt, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about it now. The Wang family will pay for you."

The eldest aunt shook her head, not looking happy, "That's not mine either."

When we arrived at Xu's house, it was already dark.

The elder and younger aunts hurried back to their homes.

Xu Wang called the child back and went back to his own home.

Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng had nothing to do when they got home, so they were in no hurry to leave and stayed home for dinner.

Nothing was cooked for dinner, just the leftovers from the banquet we hosted during the day.

I picked up the ones that were not touched and left them behind.

Zhu Meizhen heated up the food and waited for Xu Wen to come back. Everyone took a bowl and ate something.

My uncle also stayed here for dinner, but no one knew where he went.

Zhu Meizhen served him a bowl of food and said, "Changshan, don't worry, you can eat and live here. Now that your brother, Xiaoqie and I live in these two rooms, it won't be so crowded anymore."

Uncle Yi shook his head, "Then I can't always live at my brother and sister-in-law's house. What kind of nonsense is that?"

He is almost fifty years old, how can he live with his brother and sister-in-law anymore?

Xu Qiushi opened his mouth.

Zhu Meizhen frowned and translated, "Your brother said that you can stay here temporarily until you get your divorce. If you don't want to live here, go to the brigade and ask for a job looking after the cowshed or the granary. Then you will have a place to live, right?"

Look at the granary, there are beds in the granary. Look at the cowshed, there are beds in the cowshed, but the conditions are not as good as at home. But bachelors don't care about this.

Uncle Yi's eyes lit up, "Oh, that's right! Why didn't I think of that?"

Xu Wen bit the tip of his chopsticks and said, "There's something I haven't figured out how to start. Let me tell you about my uncle today!"

When the Xu family saw Xu Wen's serious face, they all looked at her.

"That's right. Although we are in a remote area and the production team still eats from the same pot, some coastal areas have relaxed the control on individual trading. You can do small trade there and work for others to earn money. At least you can earn more than farming at home.

Originally, I wanted to ask my brother if he dared to go and try. If he dared, he could accompany me when Lu Yuanzheng and I returned to the island. But my brother would be gone for several months, and my sister-in-law would be left alone at home to take care of the children. So I hadn't figured out how to bring it up. Besides, my brother and my sister-in-law had to discuss it.

"This incident happened to Uncle Yi today. If you don't want to stay in the production team, you can try going to the south. If you don't have the capital, you can do some manual labor for others. You can earn much more money than working in the production team."

Uncle Yi nodded without even thinking, "Really? Then I'll go!"

Xu Wen knew that Xu Wen would not speak easily, and if he spoke, it would certainly not be nonsense. He was somewhat tempted: "Is it really not illegal to do business?"

Xu Wen shook his head. "It's not illegal. You can make money quickly in the south. If you're lucky, we can pay back the few hundred yuan we owe in two or three months. In addition, I saw in the newspaper that in the summer, a province was hit by a natural disaster that had not happened in a century. In order to encourage the people to fight the disaster, the province gave some land that could not be cultivated collectively to farmers for free. No public grain was collected, and no tasks were set. As a result, the province completed the autumn planting task ahead of schedule and added more than a thousand acres of autumn planting area.

Later, we struck while the iron was hot and started the household contract responsibility system. The household contract responsibility system meant that we were assigned land by the production team, and then we had to pay a certain amount of grain in the autumn harvest, and the surplus could be kept by ourselves.

The higher-ups think this is a good idea and are experimenting with it in some large cities. If it works, within one or two years at most, our production team's land will be subcontracted to each household.

My grandmother's land is gone, and my household registration has been changed. My parents and Xiaoqie are a family of three, and my brother and sister-in-law are also a family of three. The land is not much, but it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing. It is difficult to make money from the land. "

Sang Xiaoqing was also tempted, and asked her: "Ask, can that woman go to the place you mentioned? I'm worried if your brother goes alone."

Xu Wen nodded, "Yes, I can, but what about the children if you go?"

When Zhu Meizhen heard this, she said, "I will take care of Chunsheng."

"It's not impossible. But I don't suggest that you go now. Many policies are just in the works and not so clear yet. Many industries are in the gray area and there will be some risks. What I mean is that you can let my brother and uncle go there first to test the waters and see if you can make money and whether you can adapt there. If you can make money, it won't be too late for you to go there. Going to such a faraway place where you are unfamiliar with the place, someone needs to go there first to explore the way."

Uncle Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then let Xiao Wen stay at home. I will follow you guys to explore the way. If I can make money, then Xiao Wen can definitely do it too."

Xu Wen was unwilling: "Uncle Yi, you have never been away from home before. What if something happens when you travel so far away alone?"

Xu Qiushi knocked on the edge of the bowl.

Zhu Meizhen understood immediately: "Your father said that this matter is not urgent, we can discuss it slowly, let's eat first. Ask Xiao Zheng if he and Xiao Zheng won't leave until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is still time."

Xu Wen knew that Xu Qiushi was unwilling to see Xu Wen leave, so he didn't say anything more.

After all, I don’t know whether what Xu Wen said is reliable or not.

For ordinary people, making a living from the land is the most secure way.

The soil beneath their feet is their root system.

Xu Qiushi was also getting older, and Xu Wen, as the mainstay of the family, had to take on the responsibilities.

It takes time to convince them.

Xu Wen hadn't figured out how to persuade him yet, but he brought it up when his uncle suddenly happened.

This year's Spring Festival was a bit dull for the Xu family.

I just celebrated the Wuma Day on the fifth day of the New Year and made some dumplings at home.

The rest of the time, I just stay at home and don’t go anywhere.

It's not easy for others to come.

During the Chinese New Year, I felt like I was isolated from the rest of the world.

The seventh day of the first lunar month is the seventh day after grandma’s death, and we have to visit her grave.

But there was no need to ask because she was a girl.

Sang Xiaoqing can go because she is the grandson's daughter-in-law, but she cannot.

Sometimes the preference for boys over girls in rural areas is particularly stimulating in such subtle details.

Seeing Xu Wen pouting, Lu Yuanzheng suggested, "How about you come with me to visit my grandfather's grave? You can go as a granddaughter-in-law, too."

When Xu Wen heard this, he threw the melon seeds in his hand at Lu Yuanzheng.

She just missed her grandmother and was angry about the unfairness, but she didn't want to go to the grave.

Besides, tomb-sweeping is usually done on New Year’s Eve and the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

My grandmother is on the seventh day after her death. Who normally would go to her grave on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year?

Straight men are straight men, and they can never coax people to the point.

Lu Yuanzheng tilted his head slightly, opened his mouth and bit the melon seeds that Xu Wen threw to him.

Xu Wen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Are you born in the year of the dog?"

"I belong to you." Lu Yuanzheng grabbed Xu Wen's arm and pretended to bite her.

Xu Qie and Dong Sheng happened to walk in and saw this scene.

Dongsheng suddenly became furious, and like a calf, he bent over, used his head as a weapon, and rushed towards Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng was caught off guard and was hit on the lower back.

Even Wang Yulei couldn't knock him down, let alone the five-year-old Xiao Dongsheng.

The journey was long and the expedition was motionless.

Dongsheng raised his little fist and punched him randomly.

Lu Yuanzheng frowned, grabbed Dongsheng's collar with one hand and pulled him back, "What are you doing?"

Dongsheng snorted: "Who told you to bite my mom?!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

Xu asked: "..."

Xu Wen started to laugh and waved Dongsheng to come over to him.

Lu Yuanzheng felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had raised this kid with great difficulty, and his partiality was so obvious that he couldn't even deceive himself.

After a while, Youyou asked Xu: "I also want a little lover. Please give me a daughter! A daughter will definitely help me."

Xu Wen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Dongsheng in his arms.

Dongsheng snorted, "Mom's little sister is also in the same group with us."

Xu Qie is now a half-grown child, at the age when he is sometimes sensible and sometimes not. He pretended to be serious and patted Dongsheng on the head, "Are you stupid? Can't you see that they are playing a prank? Stop getting in the way and let's get out!"

Although Dongsheng cannot regard Xu Qie as his uncle due to the younger age difference, he can still regard him as the eldest.

After the boss gave the order, Dongsheng could only say "oh" and followed Xu Qishen out to play again.

The two of them hadn't even had a sip of water since they entered the house.

After the two children walked away, Xu Wen finally reacted. He glared at Lu Yuanzheng with a red face, "How dare you talk nonsense while you are watching over your children!"

"Dongsheng will have to accept it sooner or later."

"It's not just Dongsheng, Xu Qie is still here! Just because Dongsheng doesn't understand doesn't mean Xu Qie doesn't understand."

Maybe I don’t understand either.

Xu Wen just feels guilty.

Uncle Yi's divorce was not as smooth as expected. The Wang family made trouble several times, using both soft and hard tactics.

The aunt even called her daughter back.

My uncle and aunt have only one daughter.

It’s not that Uncle Yi doesn’t want a son, it’s simply that he doesn’t want to touch Aunt Yi.

Their daughter is a little older than Xu Wen and got married earlier.

An aunt told my cousin that if they got divorced, my cousin would be embarrassed and would not be able to stay in her mother-in-law's house.

As expected, my cousin came to Xu's house to make trouble.

Xu Wen received his cousin and sent her away with a few words.

I went straight back to my husband's house and left a message saying that if my parents were willing to leave, then I could leave!

Sang Xiaoqing later became curious, "What did you say to your cousin? Why did she just stop interfering so readily?"

"I didn't say anything, just reminisced about my childhood."

The original family has a great influence on a child regardless of the era.

My cousin has half Wang family blood and half Xu family blood.

Most of the time, she is as fierce as her mother, but she also retains a bit of the Xu family's kindness in her heart.

Of course my cousin had an unhappy childhood.

My parents often fight, although it is the mother who beats the father unilaterally.

My cousin was still young at that time and could not protect my father or stop my mother.

I could only cry out in vain, "Stop hitting me!"

Sometimes my aunt would get angry with me and I would get beaten up from time to time.

When an aunt gets angry, she will hit people with whatever she has in her hand.

One time he was holding a fire stick.

By then, my uncle had already run away, and my aunt couldn't reach him, so she took her anger out on my cousin. She swung a fire poker at her, and if it had hit her, my cousin would have been disfigured.

The child is innocent.

Uncle Yi couldn't bear it, so he rushed back and hugged my cousin. He was hit and still has a scar behind his ear.

There are so many things like this.

As long as Xu Wen slightly leads his cousin to recall the past, she will favor her uncle.

She would rather her father escape from her mother's clutches than have her own reputation implicated.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my uncle and aunt got divorced.

If Wei Zhuang had a hot search list, then this month's hot search list would not have the first topic.

During the days when Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi were having trouble, Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng stayed at Xu's house during the day just in case the Wang family came to attack.

Lu Yuanzheng had nothing to do, so he took Xu Qie and Dongsheng to play by the river.

Or dig a hole in the ice and catch fish.

Or go ice skating.

I also made an ice sled myself.

It is to add two smoothly polished and curved iron bars (also called iron sheets) under a small four-legged stool, and then find two thin iron rods, burn them red, hammer them and sharpen them to use as support rods.

The man sat on a small bench, held the iron rod in both hands, pointed it at the ice and scratched it backwards with force, and it could move a long distance.

Very perfunctory and muddled.

But the children regarded it as a treasure.

Dongsheng and Xu Qie were both eager to play, and the other children in the production team also gathered on the ice and watched eagerly.

The people on the production team would rather get together and chat or play cards than play games with these half-grown kids.

In their eyes, adults are adults and children are children. They don’t care if the children want to play, but they don’t need to accompany them either.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen both play with their children, and especially under Xu Wen's teachings, it is particularly normal for Lu Yuanzheng to play with Dongsheng.

He not only plays with them but also acts as a coach, teaching them how to play.

All the children in the production team envied Dongsheng for having a good father and Xu Qie for having a good brother-in-law.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Xu Wen will not appear.

As soon as Xu Wen comes, Dongsheng and Xu Qie will just be sidelined.

Lu Yuanzheng will definitely put Xu Wen's request first.

Dongsheng and Xu Qie were skating, and Lu Yuanzheng just gave the instructions with his mouth.

Whenever Xu Wen went on the ice, Lu Yuanzheng would personally help him. If Xu Wen rode on an ice sled, Lu Yuanzheng would push him from behind.

It really proves the saying that there is no harm without comparison.

But Dongsheng and Xu Qie didn't care. They also liked Xu Wen very much, so much so that the three of them were vying to promote Xu Wen.

However, Xu Wen was not lucky enough to enjoy it. She was afraid of such speed and did not like the cold.

Basically I only come to accompany them for a short while and then go home.

After returning home, Xu Wen, in addition to chatting with Zhu Meizhen and accompanying Sang Xiaoqing to see Chunsheng, has been writing and drawing.

She was thinking about how to improve her quality of life after returning to the island.

To put it bluntly, it is about how to make your salted fish life more comfortable.

She listed a lot of things on the paper.

There are equipment to be updated and activities to be held.

There is also a plan to attract investment, no, to attract unmarried lesbians to actively go to the island.

Zhu Meizhen still couldn't adapt to her grandmother's departure and was feeling a little depressed. She became even more depressed when she thought that Xu Wen was about to leave.

Sang Xiaoqing surrounded Xu Wen and asked about things in the south.

Xu Wen picked out the parts that could be said and spoke about them.

She knew that when the spring breeze blew up from that poor little fishing village on the border, a piece of paper money would be blown away, and it would depend on who could grab more quickly.

She has little desire to make money. She mainly doesn't want to be separated from Lu Yuanzheng, so she wants to help her brother.

Use your golden finger to support him.

Originally, I was still not very reassured that only Xu Wen could go and ask Xu Wen. If Uncle Yi could come along, that would be great, and the uncle and nephew would have someone to take care of them.

The more Xu Wen listened, the more excited he became. Sang Xiaoqing was also excited when she heard that she could make money, but she was reluctant to part with Xu Wen.

"Sister-in-law." Xu Wen put down his pen, flexed his wrist, and wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sang Xiaoqing, "Do you think there is any difference between Dongsheng and Xu Qiebi?"

Sang Xiaoqing nodded, "Dongsheng looks like a city kid, while Xu Che is a native of our country."

When children from ordinary families and children from the city stand together, they can be told apart at a glance.

The rural children not only have haggard faces, but also humility in their eyes.

This is caused by the living environment.

"So do you want Chunsheng to be a city kid when he grows up?"

Sang Xiaoqing nodded without hesitation, "Of course! The city is so nice. It's clean and beautiful."

"Then why do you think there is such a gap between us and the city kids?"

Sang Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said, "They are well-educated and have money. They also have more experience than us."

"But sister-in-law, we were born and raised here. There are only two ways to change ourselves. One is to go to school and pass the exam. This is not practical for my brother."

Xu Wen was once a top student, but he had been away from school for too long and was doing farm work, so it was impossible for him to go back to school.

"There is another way, which is to make a lot of money and become rich with your family and settle down in the city. This is of course risky and requires sacrifice. Not only does my brother have to sacrifice, but you do too. You two are in different places, and it's hard for you to take care of the children alone, and it's also hard for my brother to go out alone.

I can't guarantee that my brother will become a millionaire after he leaves home, but I can guarantee that there are more opportunities outside than at home. As long as you work hard, you can definitely make more money than farming."

Whether you can make money in business depends not only on opportunities but also on your ability.

Xu Wen is not a dull person and has a good eye. Xu Wen thinks his brother is capable.
