In the early winter of 1985, the cold and frost were heavy.

It was so tired after a day of hard work that it took to hand over the public food, but the Li family was not sleepy at all.

Old Man Li squatted in the corner between the kang and the wall, smoking his pipes, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't speak, and Li Guangzhu and his wife Li Guilan didn't speak either.

In the low and cramped space, there is a thick and choking smoke that makes people suffocate.

Finally, the one who opened was Li Yonggang sitting on the stool at the entrance of the window.

He frowned, and his intact left hand gently stroked the right hand of the two fingers, and sighed and said, "Grandpa, parents, if the Guo family doesn't agree, let's wait a moment. I'm only twenty years old. I'll save some money in a few years. Let's talk about it in a few years. Chunyang is not happy, so don't force her. Besides, it's not nice to say this. You can't even let our Li family raise their heads for me."

Li Yonggang is the first son of Li Guangzhu and Li Guilan. He has an older sister who married to Xishan Village next door two years ago, and has two younger brothers and a younger sister at the bottom. Chunyang, whom he just mentioned, is her sister, and he is only fourteen years old this year.

His right hand was cut off when he was a child by naughty using the production team's guillotine to cut grass incorrectly. One middle finger and the other index finger will have more or less impact when doing fine work.

Since he was beaten to the point of his finger, his family has been afraid that he will not be able to marry his wife because of this. Fortunately, he is successful. Last winter, when he went to the mountain to do a side job, he met Cao Yun, a girl from the same village who was cooking there. The two young people have been secretly hiding for more than half a year.

Cao Yun is the same age as Li Yonggang. He is a beautiful and diligent girl, but the situation at her family is quite complicated.

She was picked up by her mother Cao Peiyu while washing clothes by the river. At that time, Cao Peiyu was widowed and his mother who was paralyzed in bed depended on each other. A few years later, Cao Peiyu remarried Guo Houze, an intellectual sentencing in the city, and gave birth to a pair of two-stick sons, named Guo Zhien and Guo Zhili. Among them, Guo Zhili was born stupid, but Guo Zhien was a normal child. Five years ago, Guo Houze suddenly passed away. The fifteen-year-old Cao Yun and his mother Cao Peiyu took care of their grandmother and younger brothers together, and life was very difficult.

The Guo family is poor, and when Guo Zhili and Guo Zhien are old, I still don’t know if they can become a wife. Especially Zhili, a natural fool, who would like to marry a girl to him?

When Cao Peiyu knew that Cao Yun and Li Yonggang were having sex, he had the idea of ​​a girl from the Li family.

Li Chunyang is fourteen years old, one year younger than Zhien Zhili, and is quite suitable for age. If the Li family agrees, then change their marriages. Cao Yun married to the Li family, Chunyang comes to the Guo family, and get married after a few years.

Their place is not very good, with many mountains and few lands, and it is still far from the town, so they are poor since then. There were many years ago when they changed their relatives. I haven't heard of anyone changing relatives for many years. The Li family has been hesitating for fear of being stabbed by others.

After being silent for a long time in the room, Li Guilan Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Silly boy, who doesn't know the girl from the Guo family looks good? There are so many people who are thinking about it. The son of Captain Zhao of the production team originally fell in love with her. What are the conditions of the Zhao family? If... we have no place to cry."

Li Guilan also knew Li Yonggang, a boy from the Zhao family whom Li Guilan mentioned. They worked together when they were working on side jobs. They were tall and strong and capable, and their family conditions were good. If they didn't get married, the Guo family would definitely choose the Zhao family boy.

Thinking of this, Li Yonggang lowered his head in a depressed manner, his attitude was obviously not as firm as before.

Old Man Li took out a cigarette bag from his chest and squeezed out a cube of tobacco and pressed it into the pipe. After lit it, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Chunyang? Call her in and tell her that if you want to continue school, you should go to the Guo family. Our family has no money to support her."

Chunyang, who had been squatting with his second brother in front of the stove pit in the outer room with his second brother, chewing roasted potatoes when he heard this, and half of the potatoes rolled to the ground, covered with dirty things like a pot of ash beans and other dirty things.

"Second sister, are you still eating?" Li Yongming, a seven-year-old younger brother, reached out and picked up half-pulled potatoes, and was about to send them to his mouth.

Sixteen-year-old Li Yongqiang frowned and reached out to grab the potatoes. He hesitated for a moment, stuffed half of his clean potatoes to Chunyang, and ate the half dirty potatoes in two or three bites.

When Li Yongming pouted and was about to cry, Li Yongqiang said softly: "You have eaten two of them, and you will swell your stomach if you eat them again. Your second sister didn't eat anything at night, and you will still snatch her."

I don’t know if I really listened to it or was afraid of Li Yongqiang, but Li Yongming sniffed and tears fell down.

Chunyang was staring at the potato in his hand, and Li Guilan pushed the door out, walked over and pulled Chunyang and said, "Your grandpa has something to tell you, hurry up and go in."

Chunyang didn't get up, and lowered his head and slowly started eating potatoes. She ate very quietly, so quiet that it made people feel distressed.

Li Guilan was upset and pulled her back: "Hurry up, it's too late, don't delay the family's sleep."

"Mom..." Li Yongqiang was about to say something, when Chunyang suddenly stood up and handed Li Yongqiang a small piece of potato left, and whispered: "Second brother, I can't eat it anymore, you can eat it."

The sound is very light and trembling, and the hearing makes people's nose sore.

"Chunyang, don't blame your mother for being cruel. If the Guo family had not liked you, you wouldn't have given you to their family. How nice your elder brother is to you? Do you have the heart to see that your elder brother can't marry a wife? In the future, your sister-in-law will be your elder sister-in-law of your in-laws and will be closer, so you will definitely not treat you badly." Li Guilan said in her ear.

Chunyang walked into the inner room without saying a word.

Old Man Li still said the same thing just now. If he wanted to go to school, he would go to the Guo family. If he didn't agree to change his bride, the Li family would not support Chunyang to continue his studies.

Chunyang was just in the first grade of junior high school and had to get up at around 4 o'clock every morning to clean up. He walked for nearly two hours before he arrived at school. His parents and grandparents said that it was useless to study as a girl, so they asked her to come down to help the work at home. She carried several broom bumps before she persisted until today.

Thinking about it now, it's a bit ridiculous.

Chunyang did laugh, and started crying while laughing.

The crying sound was sobbing, it was really heartbreaking.

Li Yonggang couldn't bear the heavy sigh and went straight to the yard. He didn't see him or her heart was not upset, and he couldn't hear him or her spirit was not upset.

When Chunyang was crying, Li Guangzhu and Li Guilan both talked a lot, but she didn't listen while crying.

I stopped crying, rubbed my eyes and wiped my tears and looked at my parents and grandpa. Chunyang said stubbornly: "Two years ago, Dad, you drank a big drink and almost beat me to death. For the sake of justice, you married my elder sister to the Wang family in Xishan Village. Now you marry my wife for my elder brother and send me to the Guo family. You are a girl who has less birth. If you have a few more, you don't even have to do work. You can live by selling girls!"

"Chunyang!" Li Guangzhu shouted angrily and stared at his turbid eyes, "You dare to say anything if your wings are hard. Your elder sister is willing to marry into the Wang family. How good is your life now? What can parents do if you can harm you? If the Guo family is not good, we can force you to go there. It's easy to say that you don't listen, then you'll decide if you don't discuss it!"
