PNB Chapter 314 The Weaned Baby
Chapter 314 The Weaned Baby
Before leaving work at noon, they made a decision and called the team leaders, "The eldest child of the Jiang family is in fifth grade. Send all the children over the age of eight in the village to school."
The team leader had another idea. "Let's go to other villages and find the female educated youth. Their work points are almost set. Each person can do six per day. They can continue to work in the fields. We will teach them from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We will go and see. If they are not serious, they can continue to work in the fields."
"That's fine. Although we're not blind, the children are almost all like this now. How can we send them? Several children from each family, all of them? There's too much room. The Jiang family yard is so small."
"Just buy a blackboard and go to the old locust tree in the village. It's cool. We'll do it ourselves, not through the government."
"Row."
The next day, the children in the village and the educated youth were called together. The blackboard was also set up. It was a stone slab. People wrote with a wooden stick and erased with soil.
The female educated youth who went to the countryside in the first year took turns giving lectures, and finally chose two, Chinese and arithmetic.
The children sit cross-legged and study.
The team leaders stood behind the class. Some of the children listened, and some didn’t. Those who didn’t listen were pulled out and kicked a few times. Gradually, the children behaved themselves.
The crops in the yard at home were also harvested in the morning, and they were finished in two days, on the 19th and 20th.
Early in the morning on the 21st, Jiang Wen started picking dates.
The dates fell one by one as they were hit with stick after stick.
Except for Jiang Xiu and Gu Lixia, the whole family squatted in the yard to pick dates. Gu Lixia called Huaibei, "Go, there are so many people in the yard, call the boys and girls who play with you to come and pick dates. Once you pick them all, each of you will get a pound."
Huainan went out for a while and brought back four children.
Gu Lixia called Jiang Wen to go up and take out the hot water bag.
Soon, Jiang Wen finished unloading and handed it down. Gu Lixia folded it and put it under the wardrobe in the empty room.
Wash your hands and watch Huai Xu turn over.
Huaixu is very active and learned to roll over first. Huaizhou also learned it, but he just didn't move.
Gu Lixia didn't care about these things. She fed the baby delicious food and drinks. It would happen sooner or later. There was no need to rush.
Two days at the end of the month, Jiangjia Village paid its public grain tax.
Jiang Wen provided Jiang Maocai with food and drink in advance, and everything went smoothly and ended in one day.
Jiang Wen sent two bags of 50 kilograms of cornmeal.
Jiang Wen didn't give it to Jiang Maocai, so there is no shortage of people.
On November 4, the couple went out of town and brought back 48 more photo frames.
A basket of celery with pork belly underneath.
There are almost 300 kilograms of cabbage.
On November 5th, I brought back the photos taken at the Children's Palace.
On the 6th, Xu Jiang arranged for the delivery of three trucks of charcoal.
The grid for storing charcoal was filled up completely.
In the morning, Jiang Wen
The Beginning of Winter is on the 7th. The Beginning of Winter is not important. Gu Lixia wants to eat dumplings.
Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to chop the stuffing as soon as she got up in the morning.
Add cabbage and seasoning.
Make dumplings.
The Sunday classes at the Children's Palace are still going on.
Swimming lessons were suspended in November.
The others continued, and the martial arts class was moved to the morning.
On the 12th, Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu took care of the children’s birthday party.
As soon as the light snow fell on the 22nd, Gu Lixia started soaking the cabbage.
Pickled diced radish.
Put on winter clothes.
The snow was falling heavily.
Jiang Wen continued to help his nephew move.
The school notified that classes at the Children's Palace were suspended.
On the 26th, the public grain store notified people to collect grain and oil.
We only received the grain and oil for October and November on the 30th.
I received my salary on December 2nd, and went to collect food and oil on the 3rd.
Jiangjia Village sent two pig heads and offal.
Gu Lixia started to stew.
He also went for a bike ride with Jiang Wen and brought back another pig's head.
34 pounds of spare ribs.
2 bags of millet and mung beans, weighing 80 kilograms each.
On the 5th, 5 packages were packed.
Qin Wenlong from Shacheng, Lu Yi from Yucheng, Xiao Dajun from Qincheng, Yun Dahai from Lucheng, and Ji Xiaojun from Yucheng.
Uniform drawstring bag with drawstring top.
20 jin each of millet and mung beans, 10 jin each of peanuts and drunken dates.
The braised pork head weighs about 15 pounds and is wrapped in several layers of oil paper.
These are all the results of this year's letter exchanges. It is sufficient to send them once a year.
Gu Lixia is not stingy at all.
After Huainan and the others got out of school, they asked Huainan and Huaixi to look after the children while Gu Lixia and Huaibei pushed the flatbed cart to go mail the items.
Gu Lixia did not forget to buy stamps for Huainan.
A few days later, I received a letter from Lu Yi. He got married. The mudslide killed all the family, so he married the girl and sent 300 yuan with the letter.
It was fake in the first place, so let’s cancel the agreement and not disturb each other.
After reading the letter, Gu Lixia laughed. The others didn't understand and read it one by one.
Jiang Wen also had the same thought: "As expected."
Lu Yi never took the initiative to write to Jiang Xiu, and really treated Jiang Xiu as his sister.
Gu Lixia thought for a moment, "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Next year I'll start looking for outstanding young people for you. They're only 17, don't need to go to the countryside, and don't have much work to do at home. Look at the two cross-eyed people in the Wu family next door. How are they doing?"
"They are brothers. If you avoid each other and walk away, will there be deep hatred between sisters-in-law? No, you did more and she did less. She cheated, she was lazy, she was domineering..."
Gu Lixia continued while feeding Huaizhou egg custard, "Cherish your present life. If you marry into a family like this, you'll just be a punching bag. Divorce, but you're afraid of bringing shame to your family."
"If you don't divorce, you'll be mad at yourself to death. Giving birth to a girl is like giving birth to a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. Giving birth to a boy means you'll only give birth once. What's the point?"
"My mother-in-law would cry and say, 'I'm sorry to your ancestors. What sin have I committed to marry such a thing? I'm guilty.' Then she would drink some harmful folk medicine to give birth to a son."
"They've completely forgotten the principle of reap what you sow. They think it's all about their daughter-in-law. They swallow their bitterness and wipe their tears, like the walking corpse. One day, when they can't get over it anymore, they jump into the river or hang themselves."
Jiang Wen concluded, "So, neither the Wu family next door nor any of the families in the family compound are acceptable."
The couple cooperated very well.
Jiang Xiu looks at the nose with his eyes and the heart with his nose.
Don't worry about it.
After I started working, some people asked me about it, but they always said I had to wait until June of 73.
This was Jiang Xiu's plan. Although waiting for her father for three years was just an excuse, she was sincere about it.
I received my report card on the winter solstice and had a holiday.
Not bad, Huainan and Huaibei continue to make progress and are first in the grade.
Huaixi is also good, ranking third in the grade.
There were also two mistakes in the Chinese language test.
It coincides with the winter solstice.
Making dumplings in Huainan.
Gu Lixia makes soup.
This has been my habit since the beginning of winter, drinking soup every day.
Today I had kelp and pork ribs soup.
Take off your hat as soon as you enter the door.
Gu Lixia also scooped soup out of the pot.
Three young men, each had a bowl.
As I warmed up, I started taking off my coat.
Go in and play with your brother.
Today is the first day of weaning for my two children. They have been drinking milk powder for half a month. They drink less, but they still drink.
