Long years (2)

Not to mention that Mrs. Qi thinks life in the Jin family is worrying, even the Fourth Master looks really sad.

Went home all at once, cheering and cheering to the five young men.

There are advantages to being able to work hard, such as working, especially physical work done at home, such as fetching water, etc. The brothers take turns, so it is really not very tiring.

Although there are five brothers, only the third brother is doing the work.

The boss doesn't have to do it. He's too weak. I won't ask him to do it. The youngest, despite being big, is only sixteen years old.

Therefore, the only ones doing the work were the second, third, and fourth children in the middle. The Fourth Master thought, in Tongtong’s words, it’s called loving the older ones and loving the younger ones, and everyone in the middle will suffer.

Although I complain like this, when it comes to favoritism, it is really too much to say that there is no favoritism. There are a bunch of boys who don't have time to think about who loves whom.

With the third brother working, it shouldn’t be too tiring. But it depends on how you calculate it. The second brother is really honest when working. The third brother is very slippery. When it is his turn, he will either squat in the toilet and be unable to get out.

, or the person who went out to wander around the night before didn’t know which friend he stayed with, and they didn’t come back at all. Whoever wanted to do the work in the morning did it, he wasn’t at home, he didn’t care!

Then it's just him and the second child.

Because he wanted to talk to Tongtong, he had to borrow a bucket early and carry water. However, the second brother was pretty good at his job and never let him suffer.

He only came over to ask him to go when he got home. Sometimes when he saw that he was tired, he would ask him to do the work himself, and it was not just the Tongtong family that he was responsible for.

Speaking of which, young men are used to doing this, so it doesn't matter how tired they are.

He is willing to do this kind of work. What kind of work is he most afraid of? What should I do if there is a rip in my clothes? Let me sew it up?

dream!

Mrs. Jin is considered a tyrant at home. From the rooster crowing for the first time, she scolds Mr. Jin to get up, then she bangs the porcelain basin to get up her sons who want to stay in bed, and finally goes out to borrow things. First, she

Borrow a bucket, and then borrow something else. This includes a lot of things, such as a handful of salt and half a cup of vinegar, or you can go out and borrow a bowl of cornmeal or corn stubble when cooking. In this case

In this era, especially in rural areas, it is still common. I am in a hurry to use it, but I don’t have it. I grind the grain myself. I can’t take care of this meal, so I borrow some first. It’s common! There is a quota for grinding grain, so I’m afraid of eating it.

If you can't keep it, you won't be able to keep up with the grain in the end. The amount is fixed, so you have to eat sparingly. It's better to prepare less than to hide. In this way, in the end, the most common thing is the grain that is not ground at home.

What should I do? Carrying the bowl, I walked from house to house and went to the west. I borrowed it before putting it into the pot. I returned it after grinding the grain! This happened to other families, but it only happened once or twice a month, three or four times.

But in the Jin family's life, it is normal to live by borrowing money. Not to mention half of a month, ten days are spent outside borrowing money.

Anyway, if I borrow this or that, my life will never be smooth!

Think about it, there is not even a bucket for fetching water at home. They are all borrowed from other people's homes. Some people will lend the buckets, and some people will not lend them. A situation like Tongtong's is that the family does not have a bucket.

Those who are strong laborers. Whoever uses the bucket is responsible for fetching water for them. There is only one well in a village, and you have to walk another five or six hundred meters after exiting the alley. Those who have buckets and labor are not willing to lend them out.

.I feel that the shoulder pole and bucket are just a family property, and there is absolutely no problem in using them for two generations.

If you live your life carefully, you can live a good life. On the contrary, if you don't care about anything, you will be scolded for being careless when you ask others to use things.

Jin Lao Niang does this kind of judging people's faces every day, you think she can be in a good mood. Swearing is just to vent her emotions. The young man eats too much and gets angry when he sees it! It is also because of this that she curses from morning to night.

It hovers over the Jin family, rarely stopping.

You said that under such circumstances, if the clothes are torn or torn, how dare you take them over? I can jump to the roof! I also cursed! What is called a donkey, what is a prodigal, what is ugly, what is the curse! Half a piece

You can hear it in the alley. I am afraid of being scolded. I have learned how to thread a needle and thread. The stitches are not good-looking, and my clothes will not be torn and exposed.

Who washes the clothes when they are dirty? Mrs. Jin scolded her and said, "...you guys are going to be dirty and smelly... Anyway, I won't wash them... If not, just run away with your butt naked... I'll take care of the old and the young."

, I owed you something in my previous life or it was your turn, debt collectors one by one..."

The curses couldn't stop within two hours.

The younger ones - her sons, hid in a daze.

The old one - her parents-in-law, was paralyzed on the kang. They had nowhere to hide. They had to endure it!

The Fourth Master has never been scolded like this before. At first, the Fourth Master washed his own clothes, put them in the water, twisted them, and carried them out. But after washing, he found that the clothes were not dry yet, so he was changed by the Third Brother and put them on.

The dirty clothes are still thrown there.

No! If you wear it, you will wear it. Wearing clothes that are not dry will make you sick.

And he discovered that since he started washing clothes, his clothes were always dirty, while the other four brothers were all neat and tidy when they went out.

Come on! He won't wash it either. If you want to get dirty, just get dirty. Let's get dirty together.

As a result, he stopped washing, and just like the other brothers, he dropped the bowl and ran away. Looking at the pile of dirty clothes, Mrs. Jin ran to the alley and yelled, but no one came back.

Instead of scolding his son, he scolded the old man in the family, Old Man Jin. He couldn't bear it anymore, so his father started to do it again.

It is rare for men to do such work in other families, but in today's Jin family, there is nothing strange about it.

Anyway, Old Man Jin actually did most of the work at home. For example, cooking. When Old Man Jin was young, he served as a company commander in the Kuomintang. Later, in April of 1949, he joined the army.

There was an uprising. In the 1950s and 1960s, the army seemed to have been dismantled and reorganized. The former company commander of the national army became the squad leader of the army's cooking class. In the army, that was in the cafeteria.

I have cooked before. Jin Lao Niang also joined the army. Later, not only did she have more children, but the army was also very miserable and she couldn't take care of her. So Jin Lao Niang came back with her children. In fact, she had an allowance for one person.

, raising children in my hometown, I can still live a good life. But when it came to the "Three Antis and Five Antis", Old Man Jin was fired and sent home because he was reported to have embezzled half a bowl of mung beans. Originally, this man who had revolted before the founding of the People's Republic of China was

Some people were later paid according to the old revolution. Just because of that half bowl of mung beans, they ended up in a disgraceful way. They didn't get any treatment.

In the National Army, when he was young, he was an officer. He didn't dare to do any work, so he spent his days playing mahjong. Later, after liberation, the first job he learned to do was cooking. Therefore, in

At home, the cooking work was Old Man Jin's. Now the laundry work has also become his.

What Old Man Jin always talks about at home is, "I have also lived the life of a young master for a few years..."

Why do you say that?

Counting up the Jin family, they are really from landlords.

Old Man Jin’s name is Jin Ximin, and now we call him Old Man. In fact, at this age, in terms of average life expectancy, he is considered an old man at the age of fifty. If we talk about thirty years from now, he will still be considered a middle-aged man at the age of fifty.

ranks.

Old Man Jin, who can barely be considered an old man, his father is still alive, but he is not very mobile and is lying on the kang. He is almost 70 years old. He can't see his eyes and can't move his body, but he is still strong.

Living. If old man Jin can be regarded as a young master, then his father is an authentic young master.

His father was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. At that time, the Jin family was considered a first-class family in this town. Not to mention half of the shops in the town were owned by the Jin family, but a third.

It belongs to their family. The alley where they live now, together with the house behind it named Jinjiaxiang, all belong to the Jin family. Moreover, this old man who is still strong and alive is the only child in the family.

One of them happens to be a boy. He has such a huge family property, dozens of acres of houses, covered with pine trees, and built with dang-dang pavilions. As a result, this child didn't learn well. What's wrong? He learned to smoke cigarettes.

!

Old Man Jin and his grandfather, that is, the old man of the Jin family and his father who are lying on the kang now, are the ancestors who made this big business. When they saw that this was not going to work, they would definitely not be able to learn well if they continued like this. What should I do?

?I told my son about a powerful wife. This wife, Mrs. Jin, who is still alive today, is the daughter of the thieves. The thieves are bandits! The world was in chaos at that time, and bandits were semi-public.

Live your life as you should, the police and criminals are all members of the same family. They are also powerful families in the local area.

I spent a lot of money in gifts and hired someone else's daughter. At that time, this girl was riding on a big horse and walking around the streets with a whip around her waist. Such a powerful wife should be able to control her son.

Come on. Besides, when this girl came in, the dowry was spread out. It was even more than the original betrothal gift.

This daughter-in-law is well married! It’s a good deal to marry!

A year after I entered the house, another male was added to the family. This male is the old man Jin Ximin who now washes clothes for his sons. The ancestors were very happy. It has been passed down from generation to generation. With a male, the family will be safe. For this

How can the ancestor Jin Sun not be pampered? He wants the stars but not the moon!

Old Man Jin remembered what happened when he was a child, and how much his grandfather doted on him at that time. That's why he always said that he had lived through the life of a young master for several years.

However, the good times of the Jin family did not last long. After the daughter-in-law, who was born as a thief, added a granddaughter to the family, something happened to the family.

Where to start? Let’s start with the story that the daughter-in-law of a thieves family brought a granddaughter to the Jin family.

The child is one month old, and the child's grandpa's family is here to have a wedding banquet. The ancestor is actually quite happy to be a grandfather again. Regardless of whether she is a daughter or not, for several generations of the Jin family, there is only one single child.

Genmiao. Now that she has a daughter, she is very happy. She said that there will be relatives in the family in the future.

Four plates and eight bowls were placed on the table, and the two in-laws drank.

The bandit grandpa talked about going out to sell goods, saying this goods and that goods, what is the price there, what is the price here, and how much money can be made on this trip... When Patriarch Jin heard this

, my heart is so hot. After one transaction, my family has been working hard to save for three years.

Just as he was thinking about how to say this, his bandit grandfather was very generous and said, "In-laws! Who among us is following whom? If you really want to do it, I will give it to you by the way."

When Patriarch Jin heard this, he slapped his thigh. This is good! There is nothing better than this. He was born as a thief, so he didn't have to worry about the safety of the goods on the road. He was a man of justice, so he couldn't be vague. He was also very sincere and paid for the goods.

All given to others.

Speaking of being a family, our son, his daughter, and his grandchildren are our own, but they are also his biological grandchildren. What can we not trust in such real relatives? Besides, do they lack money?

Not bad!

I didn’t look at the whole process of marrying off a girl. It’s just that the dowry is a complete package, and the shop and the land are also included in the dowry. Whoever is short of money is also short of money. If you don’t have money, just rob it, just rob outsiders, and you can also attack your own family.

Start?

Hey!

It was only a matter of seconds before the old man took the money and sent his men and horses away, completely running away.

Where did it go?
