Chapter 004 No bragging
"What kind of bottle is this? Why are you picking up so many bottles?" Chunyang asked, looking at a dozen plastic bottles that were about the same size.
"It's useful to build an ear room!" Guo Zhien shook an empty bottle and explained with a smile: "Put it in it and pile it up, and apply clay mixed with straw on the outside. Wouldn't the wall be built?"
Chunyang has seen other people's houses and walls build, but it is not the same way. But it is understandable. After all, the Guo family has this condition. If they want to build an ear room without asking for help, they can only think of some other way.
But......
"How many bottles do you need? Are there so many bottles in the town for you to pick them up?" Chunyang said worriedly.
Guo Zhien lowered his head slightly and didn't know what his expression was. He only spoke very confidently: "I can definitely pick it up, don't worry. By the way, I told my mother and grandma about your schooling. What they mean was that you would go if you want to go, and if you don't want to go, you won't go, you can do whatever you want."
Chunyang unconsciously grabbed the old book in his hand and said in a little depressed manner: "I don't want to go anymore. My classmates must know about the affairs of both of us. I don't want them to tell you, so I'd better stay at home."
Guo Zhien didn't advise her, but just looked at her and said, "It's up to you. You can learn wherever you want. If you don't know anything, just ask. You can't teach you anything except Zhili at home, you can ask anyone."
Chunyang felt that he was bragging.
Isn’t the Guo family just Guo Zhien’s father Guo Houze educated? He passed away a few years ago and lived a bad life in those years. He was able to teach his family members how to read and read? He even taught his grandma?
As if guessing what Chunyang was thinking, Guo Zhien smiled and patted her arm, and said vaguely: "Don't believe it, you will know whether I have lie to you in the future."
That night, Chunyang knew that Guo Zhien was not bragging at all.
It is the only family at the foot of the mountain. It has no electricity and is reluctant to waste too much candles and lamp oil, so I slept very early at night. It is quite special tonight. Guo Zhien held an old newspaper next to the candle to read to the family.
Grandma and the others are not just listening to the excitement. The country has a new policy and they will discuss and analyze it, and say things Lao Duo Chunyang doesn’t understand at all.
After reading a few major newspapers, Cao Peiyu frowned and sighed, "These newspapers have mentioned family planning in several issues. It seems that the wind is getting stronger and stronger. 'Family planning is good, the country will come to support us.' The country has to support us. This family planning is definitely not a joke. Yunyun, what are you planning?"
Cao Yun picked up a newspaper that Guo Zhien had just read and looked at it a few times, and smiled and said, "Grandma, mom, don't worry, I have a plan in my heart."
These words did not comfort grandma and Cao Peiyu.
"What's the use of your calculating? You have to say what you say. Do you have to say how many children have? What should you do if you can't give birth to a son or your in-laws' family have any objections?"
They were talking about Cao Yun, but Chunyang thought of her elder sister Li Dongmei.
After getting married, my eldest sister gave birth to a daughter. My in-laws were even worse for her. Now, not only my in-laws’ family, but also my parents’ family are urging her to give birth to a son, as if she would be the sinner of both families if she didn’t give birth to a son.
If, if, if family planning really can’t give birth to a few, what should the elder sister do? How can she live in her in-laws’ house without a son and not be bullied to death?
The more I thought about it, the less I felt, I couldn't help but sigh, attracting the attention of the whole family.
"What's wrong with Chunyang?" Grandma asked.
Chunyang said what he thought, and finally sucked his nose and choked, "My eldest sister is the best to me, she is honest and capable, and she will endure anyone who bullies her. My parents don't care about her, I feel sorry for her."
Every family has a difficult sutra, but even the Guo family's sutras are not clear, of course they can't control the affairs of the Li family. They can only say a few words of comfort to make Chunyang feel a little better.
Just as it was agreed, the village chief and the women's director came over together as the next day, talking about family planning.
Chunyang and the others were all driven out, and only the adults stayed in the house to speak.
The more mysterious they were, the more curious the children became. Zhien took Chunyang and Zhili to hide under the backyard window and listen to the adults secretly.
When the village chief heard that Cao Yun and Li Yonggang were about to get married, they came here to promote family planning for her and asked her to respond to the national call to avoid having to give birth. They focused on what serious consequences would be if the extra child would be.
The cadres in the village are naturally good to the Guo family. No matter what Cao Yun and the others think, they have a good attitude in front of others, and they will listen to whatever they say.
After talking about the serious matter, the village chief left the house first, and the woman director mysteriously sent Cao Yun a booklet and instructed: "This is issued by the county family planning department. You can take it and read it. It's okay if you don't recognize words. There are pictures inside. Don't feel embarrassed and don't look at it. It's good to look at it before getting married."
The two of them left the yard and were about to walk away, Chunyang gritted his teeth and chased after him.
She stopped the village chief and the women's director and asked with courage: "Are you going to my house?"
Chunyang was afraid that they would not go to the Li family.
She hopes that the village chief and the women's director can promote the Li family planning and let their parents not force their elder sister to have children in the future!
Both the village chief and the women's director knew her and knew why she was in the Guo family. She had sympathy on her face and spoke very kindly.
The Women's Director replied with a smile: "I just care about women's affairs, and your family will not go."
Chunyang looked at the village chief, and the village chief also smiled and said, "What the superior wants to promote is the matter of giving birth. Just talk to this person, you don't have to go to your house."
It was a woman who gave birth to a child, so I only told Cao Yun about this, and there was no need to tell Li Yonggang about it.
Chunyang always felt that the village chief’s statement was wrong and was thinking something was wrong. Zhien pulled Zhili over and asked, “Second uncle, this child cannot be born alone, why do you only tell me one person? My sister married to the Li family and the Li family insisted that she give birth to my sister one by one?”
The village chief was stunned, probably feeling embarrassed by being asked by a young man and a half. He cleared his throat and replied, "Don't interrupt your kids, kids, do whatever you should do."
"We really can't control such a big thing. We just think we shouldn't just talk to my family, and we have to go to the Li family to promote it. Look at who is in the village who has a baby is not the final say on the other side of the in-laws' family, and even the mother-in-law's family can't control it." Zhienruan and said with a smile.
The village chief was still able to accept this attitude of speaking, and his tone softened. He smiled and said, "Okay, go back and talk to the Li family. Come home quickly. Don't go to the riverside if you have nothing to do, as it will be easy for something to happen if the river freezes on the river."
The two of them walked a long way and Chunyang and the other three went home. Grandma and Cao Peiyu were making insoles, and Cao Yun placed the kang on the outer room.
Chunyang and the other two came to Cao Yun and asked her what book the director gave her before leaving. Cao Yun's face turned red and hesitated and told the children not to ask questions.
