Chapter 195 It Wasn’t Easy for My Mother to Raise Me
After the autumn harvest, everyone officially starts storing food for the winter. Every household is stocking up on things in preparation for the coming cold winter.
Aunt Luo brought her old man to Lin Yinyin's place and worked hard for a whole day before returning home.
This busy schedule lasted for another two days. Only after the sky cleared up did the team leader start beating gongs in the village and calling on everyone to take their belongings and prepare to distribute the food.
This is a really exciting day. Within ten minutes, every household, young and old, lined up in front of the brigade office. No one dared to cut in line. This was all thanks to what the brigade leader had said before.
It is said that anyone who cuts in line or causes trouble will be arranged to be the last one to receive food, and then they will get whatever is left!
When this was first said, it was not so effective. Some people turned a deaf ear to it, and there were endless people cutting in line and causing trouble. It was only when the team leader took tough measures and arrested a few typical people to serve as "examples" that these people became so self-aware today.
This also made Lin Yinyin a little disappointed, because there would be a good show to watch today. The villagers didn't just quarrel with words like the educated youth like them.
Most of the time, people start to fight after cursing. It is very common for them to resort to violence when they can't win the argument. If two middle-aged women fight, you can even see them pulling each other's hair.
But... what a pity.
"Yinyin, how much coarse grain and fine grain are you going to exchange for? I'll keep some for myself, and the rest can be exchanged for cash."
Cai Yanhong kept muttering along the way. She had worked hard for half a year and finally waited for this day. She looked forward to this day more than anyone else. This was achieved with her own ability.
The black market business still depends on her uncle, which is somewhat different.
"I discussed it with my brother and decided that we don't need the money. Let's exchange it all for food. I'm also planning to send some back to my mom and her family."
Lin Yinyin thought for a while and said, but now that the day has come, she can finally send things back to her mother openly.
"Oh! You still want to send food back to your parents? That's right, your mother is so good to you, it's only right that you send them food. Unlike me, I don't send any at all. I am the only one who can feed the whole family."
Cai Yanhong said this with a relaxed look on her face and shrugged nonchalantly, showing that she didn't care at all.
However, Lin Yinyin still saw a hint of loneliness in Cai Yanhong's eyes...it was loneliness.
"It's good for you this way. You live without pressure and spend as much as you earn. It's good."
Lin Yinyin tried hard to comfort him, but she didn't seem to know what to say except this. No matter when, the damage caused by the original family will take a lifetime to heal.
A little girl like Cai Yanhong, who has been pampered since childhood, will definitely feel sad when she discovers the true faces of her biological parents.
Just when Lin Yinyin and her friends were still queuing up to get their food, they saw a tall and very strong female comrade walking towards them, accompanied by a petite male comrade. They looked like a couple.
The burly female comrade was pushing a cart filled with food, which showed that there was a capable person in this family.
Then look at that skinny man, he only has a small bag of food in his arms, which probably weighs only about 20 kilograms...
"Xiaohui! Listen to me, it's not easy for my mother to raise me, and we can't finish all the food. Can you send some food back to my family?"
The thin man holding the food trotted behind the woman, and his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to reach the ears of Lin Yinyin and the others.
Only then did Lin Yinyin realize that this man was an educated youth?
It’s just that her figure doesn’t look like she can do farm work. I guess she’s not as capable as she is!
When Xiaohui heard her husband say this, she stopped moving and simply put the cart down. She turned around, pointed at the man's nose and started cursing.
"Lv Zhiyong, you are bullshitting me. What does your mother's hardship have to do with me? Don't you forget that when I married you, I gave your family 50 yuan as a betrothal gift?
You are now a member of our Li family. Every year when you go back to visit your parents, I always bring you something. If you mention this to me again, I will beat you.
If you really want to send food back, that’s fine. I’ll just deduct it from your own rations!
With those few work points you earn every day, you can't even support yourself, and yet you still send food to your mother? I think you have been living a good life for too long and have forgotten the days when you couldn't even afford a steamed bun to eat.
If I hadn't been so kind as to let you in, the grass on your grave would be three meters high by now!"
Li Xiaohui's voice was exceptionally high, scolding Lv Zhiyong so much that his chin almost hit his chest. Even so, Lv Zhiyong couldn't help but retort:
"She's my mother after all. She wrote to me saying we were running out of food and asked if I could help out. You know I have a lot of brothers and children at home, and the little ones are starving me to death. Life is tough."
"Do you have a pig's brain? Don't you understand why your parents chose you to go to the countryside as an educated youth? You have so many brothers, but they chose you, a weak one. Isn't it because they don't want you to go back?
They are planning to send you here to die. You don't even understand this, yet you are still thinking about helping them?
If I hadn't been attracted by the fact that you have many brothers and a large family, I wouldn't have wanted a man like you who is as good as a little chicken.
I’m telling you, if I can’t have a baby this winter, you’d better go back to the educated youth camp and stop being an eyesore at home. What do I need a man who can’t even give birth to a child?
Useless stuff! "
After cursing, Li Xiaohui pushed the cart and continued forward. Lu Zhiyong followed behind without saying a word, and had to jog a few steps from time to time to keep up.
Lin Yinyin looked at the two of them, her mouth opened involuntarily, and her eyes widened.
"This...this...this woman is from our village?" How come she'd never seen her before? Was her speaking style so sharp?
"Yes, they are from our village. You don't go out much, so of course you don't know them. Li Xiaohui's family is in the same team. Everyone in their family is capable. The whole family has full work points. They do whatever work points give them the most!
It's normal for the family to have more food than they can eat. It's just that her family isn't very large, and she's the only daughter her parents have. So they've found a son-in-law, Lu Zhiqing... He's found a golden nest, he doesn't have to work, and he doesn't have to worry about food and drink.
Wang Meiling had been here for a long time, so she naturally knew some of the stories of the educated youth. The year she came was exactly the year that Lu Zhiqing got married.
