The old days(46)

I thought that the life of this exploration team would not be very good, but I did not expect that it would be so difficult.

These people returned to the village and stayed at the brigade headquarters.

The brigade headquarters was pretty good, and the bungalow was left to the exploration team for their daily work. Two other thatched cottages were built not far from the brigade headquarters for temporary use.

In the brigade headquarters, we sleep on wooden beds.

In fact, it’s not really a bed, it’s just a door panel. I don’t know whose door panels were contributed. A pile of broken bricks of different sizes were used as brackets to prop up the bed. But maybe because there were few bricks, the bed was not close to the ground.

The distance is only two turns high, which can only guarantee that it is barely protected from moisture.

The room was as cold as an ice cellar. But there was no way, there was no firewood to burn!

In fact, there was no shortage of firewood in the countryside in previous years. But this year is different. There is no straw in the field, and even the grass roots are sticking out. What else are you burning?

When the fourth master came, several people's lunch boxes contained clean thatch roots. They chewed the thatch roots in their mouths, but their eyes were fixed on the drawings on the ground, and they discussed what they were saying.

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind came in, blowing up the drawings. Only then did a few people raise their heads.

I thought it was a child from the village who came over to play out of curiosity, but who knew it was an unexpected visitor.

"Metalworker!" Han Tiexin stood up and pushed the lunch box in his hand into the arms of his colleague, "You are the first person to come to us this year to pay New Year's greetings. If you come one day later, we will go into the mountains again.

.”

Fourth Master handed over his hands to several people to wish them New Year greetings. Looking at the obviously swollen people, he felt unspeakable in his heart.

Swelling, caused by hunger.

But despite his physical condition, he still insisted on exploring.

The fourth master said: "How can I come home empty-handed to celebrate the New Year? I have brought something with me. Help me move it."

I also brought something.

But after the things were brought in one by one from the car and several people saw what they were, they realized what they were.

"This...this..." This is too precious.

As the team leader, Han Tiexin held Fourth Master's hand: "I won't say anything anymore! We all understand in our hearts."

There were meat and vegetables, and several people were making dumplings. I dreamed of eating a meal of meat and egg dumplings.

A few people were busy, so the fourth master went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a phone. He first called Tongtong and asked her to find an acquaintance and bring some dry food. It would be easier to take these people with them when they go into the mountains. Then he asked the brigade leader to borrow firewood!

The borrowing is not in vain. When the planting begins after a while, Fourth Master promised that he can send people to 115 to pull sweet potato seedlings. It is estimated that other crops will not be planted this year, but sweet potatoes can still be planted. As long as

I tried to find a way to make the seedlings survive, and the harvest was not bad, but it was enough to feed the big guys. Now in the village, even if they want to plant land, they don't even have seeds.

Last year, Lin Baichuan brought a cart of sweet potatoes, which were thin and small and not suitable for seedling cultivation.

After the fourth master said this, what else did the captain have to say? Don't worry, this time is also the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect that the people in the exploration team didn't go home. They came back suddenly, so they didn't take good care of them. Now we know their

According to the situation, everything must be fully prepared. Whether they are there or not, firewood and other things must be arranged.

Then find someone to cut down the tree and chop firewood! Now that the tree has been peeled off, where can it get wet? Anyway, the branches are relatively dry. You can use them after cutting them down.

With firewood to burn and food to eat, this is a good life.

The fourth master sat down to light a fire for them and chatted about the progress during this period. Until Lin Yutong found an acquaintance at the post office and brought the uneaten dried steamed buns that had been stored before, as well as the steamed buns and buns that had been steamed at home years ago.

After they were packed and sent to the place, Fourth Master picked up the things and left them with the exploration team before driving back.

When leaving the village, Li Yuefen was waiting at the entrance of the village with Lulu. The fourth master did not stop the car and left directly.

Liao Da asked him: "Didn't my uncle see us?"

"Yes!" Li Yuefen nodded: "Didn't you see...?"

"Then let's go to my uncle's house?" Liao Da asked again.

"No!" Li Yuefen pretended that her eyes were blurred by the sand and wiped away her tears. She held her grandson's hand and walked back, "Go home! We are not going anywhere."

When she arrived at the door of her house, Li Yuefen was stunned.

The people standing at the door of the house are... Gao Xiulan's natal family!

"You...how did you get here?" Li Yuefen hid her precious grandson behind her and asked with a wary face.

The dozen or so people all had smiles on their faces, and the old lady at the head of the group said, "It depends on what the in-laws say... We are here to pay New Year's greetings to the in-laws."

"What in-laws?" Li Yuefen frowned: "We are no longer in-laws."

"This is not right!" The daughter-in-law of the Gao family spoke up later, "Our aunt from the Gao family gave birth to a son for your Jin family. This golden knot in your family jumped out of the belly of the Gao family woman.

? Come out. We are serious uncles. They say that uncles are as big as the sky! My in-laws, you must let your children recognize their uncles!"

Li Yuefen felt timid when she saw all the Gao family members acting like wolves and tigers.

In the past, the Gao family did not dare to make trouble because the fourth child was there to control it. Now that they see the fourth child coming and going back to the village, but never coming back to see their mother, they are no longer afraid and dare to come and make trouble.

I was just stunned here when two little daughters-in-law from the Gao family came over to pull the knot and cried in a high-pitched voice: "My nephew! Poor my nephew who died of his own mother! You have to ask your aunt to take a good look at it.

, what kind of life is my nephew living in this house..."

The lump was so frightened that he burst into tears: "Get out of here! I don't know you! I'm not your nephew! My mother is not dead, she is at home."

Although Li Yuefen doesn't like Liu Lingdang, she dislikes Gao Xiulan even more than Liu Lingdang.

Therefore, I never told the child that his biological mother died.

When Liu Lingdang came in, Lunda was only one year old and was still holding her in her arms. She didn't remember anything at all. When the child was three or four years old, Li Yuefen would always scold her: "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather..." This way

But when the child got older and started to remember things, she stopped yelling like that.

There is a father and a mother in the family. The child's subconscious mind will naturally not think about who is the biological mother and who is not the biological mother. And he is the only child in the family, and there is no comparison. Therefore, he should be well fed and well clothed.

, he would not think that way. What about Liu Lingdang? She is also a good person, and she has never blushed with anyone in the village. She is very enthusiastic towards everyone, and in the past few years of marriage, she has not been pregnant with a child. Everyone thinks

, if you don’t want to make enemies with others, you shouldn’t say anything about your mother-in-law and step-mother in front of your children. You left a son behind, and the child is still young. If you raise him like this, it will be different from your own.

For this reason, no one in the village really said: Liaoda, your mother is actually your stepmother.

There is no such thing!

So, the appearance of this Gao family frightened Liao Da.

He shouted outside at the top of his lungs: "The bad guys are here to catch me."

Liu Lingdang's heart trembled every time she called "mother".

The child is still young and adults teach him what to do. What is his biggest sin?

We are so small, living in the same yard, no matter how much we have objections in our hearts, we still watch our children grow from being so small to being so big.

She got off the kang, picked up the sickle hanging on the wall and went out.

He opened the door violently, held up the sickle, and stared: "What are you doing? Who are you? Come to our door and yell at us, and scare my son? What do you want to do?" After that, he said to Liao Da: "

Son, come here, come to your mother. Let’s see who dares to do anything to you.”

This appearance gave Liao a backbone in his heart. He broke away from all the hands holding him and slipped behind Liu Lingdang.

The people of the Gao family were startled and did not react for a while.

Liu Lingdang didn't give them time to react. She snorted softly, pulled her knot and entered the house, then locked the door from the inside. No matter how you scolded her outside.

Following the bell into the house, Qiao Dao was still a little cautious. He lowered his head and did not dare to raise it: "The milk is still outside."

"It's okay!" Liu Lingdang said, "They are here to find you. If you are not here, they will not make it difficult for your grandma."

"Then why are they looking for me?" Lulu raised his head, "They said you are not my mother, and my grandma won't let me call you mother..."

"That's because your mother is afraid that you will kiss me instead of her. It doesn't matter, no matter how I cry or not, I am your mother. As long as you listen to your mother, she will give you delicious food. This is for you

Okay." Liu Lingdang said to the child.

The knot was a little confused, but the general meaning was understood. It's not that my mother didn't love him, she just liked her breasts and liked him, so that he could live a good life.

He said "Oh" and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the noise from outside came in.

It was the Gao family who was scolding Li Yuefen.

"He's cruel! He's vicious! He didn't let my daughter eat, and it cost my daughter's life. She was so cruel that she didn't even let men eat, and she killed the man too..."

Jin Dashan's death was a knot in Li Yuefen's heart that she couldn't untie.

No one can mention it, and she will get angry with anyone who mentions it to her.

At this moment, the Gao family said this again, and she rushed towards these people desperately: "I will fight with you who can kill a thousand swords..."

Naturally, the people of the Gao family did not dare to confront Li Yuefen.

After all, his son is a cadre who eats commercial food, and his in-laws are still high-ranking officials. It's okay to have a small fight, but if it really hurts someone, then the matter cannot be over.

Li Yuefen's fierceness scared the Gao family back.

She sat slumped on the ground at the door, leaning against the closed door, sobbing.

After listening to what the Gao family said, the inner child asked: "Is that my uncle's house? Why do you think my milk killed his daughter..."

Liu Lingdang glanced at Liaopa in surprise. This child was not stupid, and he didn't just know how to eat and play silly.
