How to Thrive in the ’60s

The leek in the old lady's hand hit the ground with a 'slap', her face was gloomy and scary, "Do you think I look like fine grain? How about taking apart my old bones and giving you fine grain?"

Li Hongmei was startled, she leaned back, and said, "Mom, I didn't mean that, I just... it's hard work to carry a baby..."

"Who doesn't have to work hard to conceive a baby? You go around the village to inquire, see who still has fine grains to eat, how about I go out of my old face and kowtow to borrow it for you?" The old lady interrupted Li Hongmei The words continued. bookmark our website

Where can I raise stinky bugs!

Other people's daughters-in-law eat coarse grains and still give birth to strong babies. Why can't Li Hongmei eat coarse grains?

Pooh! In April, she had to eat fine grains, so why didn't she say that she wanted to eat a full feast?

The old man was also answering, "Hongmei, it's only April, and the new grain hasn't arrived yet. Where do you want us to find fine grain for you?"

Li Hongmei: "..." Didn't you give me cornmeal pancakes two days ago? Why is there no fine grain?

The old man also thought of the cornmeal pancakes he gave Li Hongmei a few days ago, coughed uncomfortably, and continued, "I bought those cornmeal pancakes from outside..."

As soon as the words fell, the old lady's face became even darker. She glanced at the old man and said to Li Hongmei, "Last year's harvest was not good. The wheat and corn planted in our village were not enough to pay the public grain. Which of the eight production teams in the village do you see?" Did the production team keep fine grains?

Some time ago, the family could have some fine grains to eat, and it was because the child tried to fill up Changnan's mouth. You see that Tian'er doesn't give Changnan a good face, and now you are not a member of our old Yun's family. Where did you get the face to grab Changnan? food?

You are pregnant with Erchuan's child and you can't eat fine grains, so just blame Erchuan for being worthless, but don't think that our Laoyun family owes you, let alone that Changnan, who has been separated from Laoyun's family for a long time, owes you too. "

The old lady said these words quickly and urgently, Li Hongmei's face was flushed with embarrassment, but she didn't know how to refute.

She blamed Yun Erchuan for being worthless, but Yun Erchuan divorced her because of this incident. If she dared to say that Yun Erchuan was worthless now, maybe Yun Erchuan would be cruel enough to let her fall into her stomach baby.

At that time, how could she use her heavy body as an excuse to do the lightest work.

As she is supervised by the village and is a bad person, maybe she has to do the work of building roads and carrying water to irrigate the crops.

Besides, Yun Erchuan has already entered the city, and he is about to be successful. If she behaves better, for the sake of the two children, maybe Yun Erchuan can let her go back to Lao Yun's house.

You can't make Lao Yun's family unhappy at this juncture.

Thinking of the people in the village seeing Tian'er pointing and gossiping about her, making fun of her for ruining her good life, Li Hongmei felt very regretful in her heart.

He looked up at the old lady, suppressed the shame, anger and grievance in his heart, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Mother, that's what I said, it's not that I have to eat fine grains, I, I just find an excuse to come and see Let's see how you are..."

The old couple: "..." Oh my god, this Li Hongmei must have hit a ghost, right?

Such a big change, it's so scary that people can get goosebumps all over the floor.

The old lady didn't even want to look at Li Hongmei anymore.

If Li Hongmei said she wanted to see Shuanzi, she would be able to fool people, but after Li Hongmei entered the door, she didn't even mention Shuanzi, but first came over to ask for fine grains. .

Even Shuanzi couldn't be fooled by such flattering nonsense, and I don't know why Li Hongmei had the nerve to say it.

The old man couldn't help turning dark at the moment, and asked Li Hongmei, "Don't you want to see how Shuanzi is doing? Since you entered the door, you haven't asked Shuanzi a word. Are you a mother like this?"

No wonder Er Chuan wants to divorce Li Hongmei. Li Hongmei is so heartless, pouring dirty water on a man's head, not even thinking about his son, and only thinking about his good wife, a man can't stand it.

Li Hongmei probably didn't expect that the always good-tempered old man would say coldly that she,

She froze there for a while, until the old man snorted coldly and entered the room carrying a bench, Li Hongmei hurriedly asked the old lady:

"Mother, how is Shuanzi? Have you grown up recently? How is the food in Fenyang..."

"Li Hongmei, you should call me Aunt Yun." The old lady corrected Li Hongmei's address again, "Don't worry, Shuanzi is not cared about by his mother, and his father, his grandpa and grandma are protecting us. We can't lose Shuanzi."

Li Hongmei wanted to say something else, but the old man walked out of the house and threw a small cloth bag into Li Hongmei's arms, "Okay, this is two catties of white flour mixed with cornmeal, it's the ration that Changnan gave to Shuanzi, take it quickly Let’s go, don’t come here if you have nothing to do in the future.”

The old lady gave the old man a dissatisfied look, then looked back at Li Hongmei's stomach, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and said:

"Shangnan has a quota of one catty of fine grains per month. This is the ration of fine grains for the two of Changnan Kenian and his son for a month. Now I give it to you. After eating it, I think about my Changnan's goodness. Think about it Should you eat the rations!"

But in front of outsiders, the old lady still maintained the old man's face very much. She didn't stop the old man's actions, nor scolded the old man. Instead, she followed the old man's wishes and beat Li Hongmei.

Li Hongmei's face was flushed, and she was holding the grain bag, wondering whether she should put it in her arms or not.

Seeing that the old lady was also moving the bench into the door, Li Hongmei quickly followed and said, "Mother... Yun, Aunt Yun, I, I want to see Shuanzi."

"Wait here." The old lady put the bench next to Li Hongmei, went into the room and touched Shuanzi's head. Seeing Yun Erchuan's face was so dark that she sighed, "Is it my mother after all? Still holding your child, let's go out with Shuanzi to have a look."

Yun Erchuan saw and listened to Li Hongmei's words and deeds after entering the door, and his heart was already on fire. Hearing the old lady's words now, he felt even more aggrieved and couldn't bear it:

"Mother, where did she miss Shuanzi? It's better not to have such a mother! Our Shuanzi has no shortage of people to love..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady's face turned cold, Yun Erchuan quickly got up, and went out with Shuanzi in his arms.

Seeing Li Hongmei, Shuanzi shrank subconsciously into Yun Erchuan's arms. After Li Hongmei hugged Shuanzi wiping her tears, Shuanzi stretched out her small arms and wrapped them around Li Hongmei's neck.

The old lady sighed as she watched in the house. She couldn't even pick the leeks in her hand. She poured half a bowl of cold water in one go and asked the old man, "Old man, how is the village doing recently? Have you planted all the cotton and corn?"
