Quick Transmigration: The Harvest God, I'm Very Busy

Chapter 7 The Female General in the 70s (7)

The aroma of ginger and garlic exploded in the oil pan. Gu Zhen poured the chopped pork belly into the pan and stir-fried it for a few times. Then she added water and covered the pan: "My dear, add some firewood and increase the heat."

Stir-frying over high heat and simmering over low heat, Yan Qinghun learned a few cooking skills after eating from his stepmother for several years.

She had never washed her hands to make soup in her previous life. In this life, due to the lack of supplies, even if she sneaked up to the mountains to hunt, the family would add some meat from time to time, but these years she did not dare to do it at home with great fanfare. She was so hungry. The nose is smarter than a dog, and her family is not bad, far away from the east and west neighbors, cooking with the door closed, it is not too noticeable, and the neighbors on both sides are also from the same family, so they can provide cover for her family.But even so, after her father passed away, Yan Qinghun didn't dare to make meat at home. When she got meat, she simply cooked it in the mountains and brought it back to eat.It is because of this that Qinghun learned how to cook from his stepmother.

Speaking of which, the east side of her house used to be the house of the grandpa of the second bedroom, but the grandpa of the second bedroom passed away early, leaving behind two sons, the eldest son married into the Su family in the same village, and the second son worked as a worker in the city .The old house was in disrepair for a long time, and after it collapsed, it was flattened and turned into a field, and now it is growing wheat.

About twenty meters away is the second and third grandfather's house in the second room.

To the west of her home is a small bamboo forest, which originally belonged to her family, but later became a collective bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is 70 meters long from north to south and [-] meters wide.Further west is the brigade department and grocery store.Behind the head of the brigade is the village primary school, and the educated youths who go to the countryside live in the north of the village primary school, beside the grain drying field.

Qinghun's family is the eldest family in their family. She has two grandfathers and two brothers. Her eldest uncle and grandfather died early, leaving behind a son and a daughter. At that time, Yan Qinghun's grandfather was only 16 years old and had not yet married. Just such a young man lived with his six-year-old nephew and three-year-old niece left by his elder brother. In order to support his nephew and niece, he delayed getting married until his nephew went to study in the city and could support himself.

Grandpa's nephew and niece are Qinghun's uncle and aunt.

At first, my grandfather was reluctant to let his niece get married, and his nephew was not around. After hearing that his nephew was participating in the revolution, he simply asked his niece to find a son-in-law at home. My eldest uncle had many brothers in his family, and he was too poor to get a wife. After someone introduced him, he got to know Yan Considering the situation at home, I agreed.

During the years of natural disasters, life on the farm where the uncle’s family lived was better than in the ordinary village, so the uncle brought his aunt, son and daughter back home, and settled down on the farm. My uncle and my cousins ​​all died of illness one after another.

Qinghun's father, Yan Qian, is a capable person. Although he is not as good as her legendary uncle who has a photographic memory, he has been good at learning since he was a child. Qinghun has seen her father's calligraphy skills, which are very impressive. Her father only After graduating from junior high school, he returned to the village. At the age of 16, he became the village accountant. Later, he became the captain of the production team and the secretary of the village branch. Before his death, he had become the director of the town grain station.He is a well-known capable person from all over the country.

Otherwise, if she continued to marry, she would not be able to marry such a beautiful, kind and honest young lady like her stepmother.

Gu Zhen waited for the braised pork to finish cooking, and then started soaking vermicelli again, cutting Chinese cabbage, while asking Qinghun: "I heard from your grandma, do you want to pick up your aunt's house?"

She was chopping vegetables in front of the chopping board, with her back to Qinghun. Qinghun couldn't see her expression, and didn't know if she was happy or not. She is alone... my aunt is about ten years older than my father, and she is almost fifty. The farm work on the farm is much harder than that in our village. I am afraid that she will be too old to do the work. She will be alone again. Who will take care of her if she has a headache? If something happens to her, how can I explain it to my dad? Well... I was young, and it was not easy for you to take care of us, so I didn't mention it. , Now that I'm grown up, grandma mentioned you... I just wanted to take over the family and help me take care of Erdan and Yaya, so I can take care of her anyway."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you have to give a New Year gift to your aunt. You and your aunt can discuss it and take her home. You and I have something for us to eat, but there is no need for her. We used to be too busy. Come on, your second grandpa’s sister-in-law can still help us take care of Erdan and Yaya, but I heard that your sister-in-law wants to go to school after the new year, and you will also go to high school in the fall of the next year, so that’s not good. Just like the junior high school in the town, you study at home and only go to school to take a test. If you go to the city to go to high school, I can't handle it alone. "

Qinghun has been skipping grades in school. She is now in the second year of junior high school. Because she has to take care of her family, she negotiated with the school and only goes to the exam and does not usually go to class.In fact, in the past few years, she secretly went to the first few old people who went to the countryside to reform through labor behind her house to take classes every other night or two, and she learned more than school.So whether to go to school or not is really not a matter for her.Besides, the school is very chaotic now, what can we learn?
But as her mother said, high school is no better than junior high school. She has to go to the city to study. People may not agree with her not going to class and only taking exams.The reason why the junior high school agreed was that the principal was the nephew of the grandma from the third bedroom and had a good relationship with her father. After her father passed away, this cousin took care of her and only agreed.

It's about forty miles away from home in the city. If I really want to study, I have to live on campus.

But in the situation of her family, it is impossible for her to leave the house for studying.But if she doesn't study, she is not reconciled.

Qinghun frowned: "Okay, then I went to my aunt's house years ago. As for studying in high school, I want to go to the neighboring county. The county seat is only twenty miles south of our village. The city is It's more than 40 miles north. Although our village is directly under the city, wasn't my third cousin from my aunt's family assigned to work as a secretary in a textile factory in a neighboring county after he retired? I'm going to visit my aunt during the Chinese New Year. By the way, I asked my third cousin if he could find some connections and arrange for me to go to the county high school, where I would only take exams and not go to class."

The aunt Qinghun was talking about was her biological sister. She had no brothers, only this one sister. The relationship between the two families had always been close.

When her father passed away, this aunt fainted from crying twice, which left a particularly deep impression on Qinghun.

She only had one son from her father, but her aunt was blessed with many children and gave birth to five sons.The eldest son, the second son, works at home as a farmer, the fourth son works as the director of a brick factory in the town, the younger son graduated from agricultural college and now works in the provincial capital, and the third son became a soldier and passed the military academy in the army. Had he not been injured and demobilized, his future would have been brighter. Not bad.

Gu Zhen always knew that this eldest daughter was a successful person, so she didn't object to what she said, because she wouldn't listen if she objected.Isn’t it the half-grown children who decide everything at home?
Gu Zhen thinks this is good. The eldest daughter is the backbone of the family.
