Wu Ya blinked and looked at her mother who had just finished tidying up the kang. Seeing her nod at her, she began to eat in small bites.
It was just half of the egg, but she ate it for a long time. After finishing it, she licked her fingers and said with envy, "Dad, it turns out that the eggs that Third Uncle likes are so delicious..."
Chu Tian said lovingly, "Dad will let Wu Ya eat eggs every day in the future..."
Wu Ya shook her head and said, "If Wu Ya doesn't eat, grandma will scold my parents..."
Chu Tian couldn't help but tighten his arms around her as he listened to what she said. He looked up at Wu Xiujuan, who was smiling, and the smile on her face instantly froze a little, and he felt distressed.
He discovered in his memory that the Chu family was not that poor. Not to mention the pension left by his father, he and his elder and second brothers had received about two hundred yuan every year in addition to food rations from the production team since he started earning full work points at the age of fifteen. By the way, last year the Chu family received more than two hundred yuan, nearly three hundred yuan!
We haven’t distributed any money this year, but I think it won’t be too little!
If you calculate it this way, from the age of fifteen to now, twenty-two, for a full seven years, he should have earned at least a thousand yuan. Even if he spent some of it during those seven years, his family should have at least a few hundred yuan, right? However, regardless of whether the family had money or not, Chu Tian's family couldn't expect to take advantage of it, even if some of it was earned by the couple...
On the other hand, the third son of the Chu family, Chu Wen, has never paid a penny to his family since he started teaching at the Tuanchang Primary School. Every year when the money and grain were distributed, he had to take away some grain and money from home. But even so, Liu Zhaodi still doted on him the most. The eggs, flour, and meat distributed every year in the family all went to the third son's family.
Of course, the other two rooms can also get a share, but the fourth room can forget about it!!!
Liu Zhaodi stood at the doorway of the main hall, feeling angry. She shouted towards the dugout, "Daya, you damned girl, are you infesting the house with maggots? It's already so late, and why haven't you come out to light the pot and cook?"
The door of a room on the opposite side of the cave was quickly opened, and Daya came out hurriedly in a thin cotton coat, "Grandma, are we going to start cooking now?"
Liu Zhaodi was angry, but she didn't dare to cause trouble for Chu Tian for the time being. However, she didn't have that concern for her eldest granddaughter. When she saw Daya coming out, she strode over and pinched her arm hard, not forgetting to scold her.
"What? You silly girl, I can't even order you around now? You still have to ask me to cook? Don't you want to eat dinner?"
"Have you all grown wings? Are you all starting to rebel against me? Why don't you all go to heaven? Why doesn't God take you away?"
Daya was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. "Grandma, I, I didn't disobey..."
"I don't usually cook at this time..."
Liu Zhaodi's anger grew even stronger, and she pinched her arm again, "You dare to talk back? I'll strangle you to death, you damned girl, strangle you to death..."
Daya was crying breathlessly, while Ma Cuihua and her other two children in the big house listened to Liu Zhaodi's scolding of Daya outside, but pretended not to hear it and continued to sit on the kang without moving.
"Mom, please stop talking about the heavens and the earth all the time. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. I'm sending you to the Revolutionary Committee for a chat..."
Chu Tian walked out of the dugout when he heard the noise. Looking at what Liu Zhaodi was doing, he had an undisguised look of disgust in his eyes. Although he hated his eldest sister-in-law Ma Cuihua, among Ma Cuihua's three children, only Daya had a kind heart. Whenever she saw him and Yao Xiujuan, she would call them Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and would also help take care of Fifth Ya.
So when he saw Liu Zhaodi taking her anger out on the child, he felt very disdainful.
Liu Zhaodi was so angry that she stretched out her finger and pointed at Chu Tian tremblingly, "You, you, you unfilial son..."
What kind of place was the Revolutionary Committee? It was a place where people were killed. Over the years, countless people from the five black categories had come from Beijing, Haishi, and other places. The Revolutionary Committee would often drag them to various production teams for parades and struggles. The sight of such misery made her shudder.
