This street is like the administrative service center of later generations. All functions are concentrated here, making it very convenient to do things.
I took the children and my younger brother to the post office. Because I was with three cute and clever triplets, I attracted the attention of everyone in the room as soon as I walked into the house.
"Look at the triplets!"
"Really?! It's really pretty!"
"Those eyes are rolling around, and you can tell at a glance that he's very smart."
......
Not to mention giving birth to triplets in that era, even in the 21st century, giving birth to triplets would be big news in the surrounding area. Wherever you go, you will be the most eye-catching beautiful mother and adorable baby.
Huang Yuelan walked to the counter very skillfully and took out the remittance slip and household registration booklet, one for withdrawing money and the other for proving that she and the remitter were husband and wife.
Because it was not the first time Huang Yuelan came to collect the money, and she had a stunning and recognizable face, people would be able to recognize her at a glance the second time they met her once. The clerk took the certificate, looked at it symbolically, and then gave Huang Yuelan the money according to the amount on the remittance slip.
This time I have five yuan more than last time. According to the market price in the supply and marketing cooperative, a pound of meat is fifty cents. Five yuan a month can buy an extra ten pounds of meat, which is really a lot.
But they can't eat so much, so even if they have so much money, it will be useless without so many tickets.
At that time, a salary increase of one dollar felt similar to a salary increase of five hundred dollars in later generations. I felt a little elated as I walked on the street.
As they were about to leave the post office, Huang Yueqiang asked Huang Yuelan, "Sister, my brother-in-law is amazing. He makes so much money now. I estimated that I can't make so much money by picking rice ears for a year. It's just like what sister said. You can't make money by brute force and hard work. You have to choose the right path."
Huang Yuelan: "You two should study hard. When you grow up, you will definitely be as promising as your brother-in-law. Find a stable job and get a good salary every month. Then no one will dare to look down on us anymore."
Not only do they have to dig for food in the fields and work hard all year round, but the key is that the effort and reward are not proportional.
They do the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest work, but what they eat is not much better than pigs. Sometimes they encounter climate disasters and the harvest fails, which means all their hard work is in vain, as even tree bark and grass roots may not be enough to eat.
Unless you own several hundred acres of land, have machines, and perform mechanized operations, then it is possible.
Even so, if you encounter floods, the money for seeds and fertilizers alone will be enough to break the bank, so it's really not easy.
"Sister, now we finally know. Sister has a good eye. Brother-in-law made a good choice. I like him!"
Huang Yuelan smiled.
On weekdays, Wang Jianguo treats them two like his own brothers, so they have a deep relationship.
But to them, brother-in-law is more than just a family member, he is also their life role model and idol.
If they have a positive role model to guide them, their lives will not easily go astray.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." If they follow a brother-in-law like Sun Gousheng, they will probably not achieve much when they grow up.
It was a rare opportunity to come to the county town, and as her pregnancy progressed, the chances to come would become even smaller, so Huang Yuelan planned to take her brother and sons to stroll around the county town.
When I came in the morning, I asked the tractor driver, and he would not be able to return until around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so I could take advantage of this time to play in the county town for a while.
"Yue Qiang, do you two want to see the train?" Their town is a very backward town with no tourist attractions, but there is a large arsenal in their town and a specially opened railway track.
During the war, China's arsenals were subjected to large-scale bombing. In order to avoid being found by the enemy, the arsenals were built in their remote town. In order to facilitate the transportation of weapons, a special railway was built.
"I want to see it! I want to see it! I really want to see it!"
"Sister, I want to see it too. I haven't seen what the legendary train looks like. Is it the same as the one in the Railway Guerrillas, making a 'whoosh' sound and puffing out smoke?" The most interesting entertainment activity in the brigade is watching movies.
The movies shown mainly included The Feather Letter, Tunnel Warfare, Mine Warfare and Wang Erxiao, etc. Whenever a movie was shown, almost everyone in the village would go, taking a small stool and reserving a good seat in advance. Some people went too late and there was no good seat, so they would climb up the wall or tree to watch.
The Yueqiang brothers had never seen a real train, but they had seen it in open-air movies and felt very novel about it and wanted to see it very much.
Not to mention the three brothers Wang Aiguo, Wang Aijun and Wang Aimin, who, seeing their two uncles so excited, also joined in the fun.
"have a look!"
"Look! Look!"
The way they speak now is like jumping beans, you never know what will come out of them. Because they have two lively and talkative uncles, the language talents of the three of them are fully tapped and new words pop up every day.
Seeing that her son and brothers were so eager to see the train, Huang Yuelan decided to take them to see it.
Since there was no rush to travel at this moment, Huang Yuelan let Wang Aiguo and the other three run on the road by themselves to exercise more.
After walking for a while, we finally arrived.
"Sister, this is a railway track, where is the train?" After arriving at the location, everyone saw the railway track but no train, and felt a little disappointed.
Huang Yuelan: "Don't worry, maybe he will be here soon."
"It would be nice to look at the train tracks. It turns out that the trains in the movies run on them!" The two brothers were quite optimistic and quickly adjusted their mood.
I had just been playing for a while when I suddenly heard a very rhythmic "clang clang" sound coming from the distance.
"Sister, the train is coming! I heard the sound!" Huang Yueqiang and the other person said excitedly.
Huang Yuelan took her brother and son away from the train tracks and watched from the side of the road.
After a while, the train came over.
When the train passed by them, Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu waved at the train, and the three little ones also learned to wave along.
The train carriage was very long, longer than an ordinary passenger train, and they stood there watching for two minutes before the train passed.
"Wow! The train is so long. It's even longer than in the movies."
“This train is so beautiful!”
The children were very happy to see the train of their dreams. They felt that the trip was worthwhile.
This train only runs once a day, so they were lucky today and caught it early. Then Huang Yuelan took everyone to Xinhua Bookstore and bought some books.
As soon as you enter Xinhua Bookstore, you will see red everywhere, as well as some eye-catching slogans, which give it a strong sense of the times.
After selecting some good books for her younger brothers, Huang Yuelan took the children back to the First Production Team.
Ask the tractor driver about the location and time in advance to avoid missing it.
Huang Yuelan found a clean stone to sit on, took out the dry food she had brought in the morning, and shared it with the children.
Three o'clock passed, but the tractor driver had not arrived yet.
Huang Yuelan knew that the tractor driver was a man of his word, so she continued to wait there.
After waiting for another half an hour, the very cool "beep beep beep" sound came as expected.
The tractor driver came closer and said, "I'm sorry, my relatives asked me to buy something, and it took me half a day to find it, so I was delayed for some time."
"It's okay, it's okay. We're not in a hurry." Good things are worth waiting for. Hitchhiking is always better than running. Half an hour at night is nothing.
Besides, who doesn't have relatives and friends? A tractor driver like this goes to the county town every now and then, and if his close relatives ask him to help carry something, he will definitely lend a hand. This is the way of the world.
These things are understandable.
Sun Gousheng’s wife was named Xiaoxi. Because she had three older sisters, her mother hoped to have a son. But now she had a younger brother. So even though she was a girl, her mother loved her very much.
Her mother firmly believed that it was because of this daughter that she was able to welcome her first son.
So after giving birth to a son, she gave her fourth daughter the nickname "Xiao Xi", which means bringing joy.
This Xiaoxi was not called that for nothing. She had three younger brothers in succession, which made her mother very happy. Her grandmother also treated her mother much better.
When Xiaoxi first got married, she was worried that she would be like her mother, with several children in a row being girls. However, she never expected that her fate would be much worse than her mother's.
According to my mother-in-law, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, my mother laid eggs, and laid several.
But looking at myself, let alone looking forward to having a son, I haven't even laid an egg. I have to endure the ridicule and sarcasm of my mother-in-law every day. My mood is up and down all the time.
That day, Xiaoxi was troubled by her mother-in-law again. She couldn't eat and ran to her little room to hide and cry.
I thought Sun Gousheng would come to comfort me, but I waited and waited, but he never came.
At first she thought he was eating and would come over after finishing his meal.
But after dinner, when the dishes had been cleared away, he still hadn't come in. After a while, he returned to the room.
After entering the house, he didn't say a word of concern, but directly asked: "Why don't you go to work?"
"What do you mean? Am I just a tool for your family to earn work points?" Xiaoxi asked back.
Sun Gousheng was embarrassed for a moment, "How could that be? Everyone else went there."
Xiaoxi then asked, "Your mother is always looking for trouble because she just can't stand me. Don't you even say a few words for me?"
"She just wants a grandson. Besides, she is so old, isn't it normal to want a grandson? You should be more considerate of her and stop giving her a cold shoulder all the time." Sun Gousheng not only did not comfort his wife, but instead felt that she was wrong.
After hearing this, Xiaoxi's last line of defense completely collapsed: "Okay! Sun Gousheng, today I finally see through you. I was so blind to fall in love with you in the first place. Let's go to the captain now and get a divorce!"
