Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

"Why don't you say that my brother is capable, with all kinds of theories, that young man can't wait to learn from his teacher directly.

A few days ago, he came to inquire with me, asking where my brother's home is, and he still didn't understand some things, so he wanted to come and ask for advice. "

Han Limin wanted to laugh at the mention of Li Chengrong's bookworm.

I didn't think that kid was so fun before, and if that energy of study was used in the university entrance examination, maybe he would really pass the entrance examination.

When Xu Shiyan heard this, he also laughed.

"Xiao Li is a pretty good young man, but he just left school, so he is not so smooth in dealing with things.

It's also very good, this kind of person has tenacity in doing things.It's okay, if he wants to come, I don't think he's annoying.

However, it's fine to be a teacher. I haven't even finished junior high school. I'm a high school student anyway, so I don't dare to be a teacher for him. "

When everyone heard it, they all laughed.

"Third brother, that's not right, education doesn't mean everything, there are too many capable people without education.

I think the third brother is quite capable, how good is the lecture?The group of people below were all dumbfounded. "

Everyone talked and chatted while eating and drinking. Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so it was rare to get together and chat more.

While talking and laughing, suddenly a person ran in from outside.

It was very hot in summer, the man must have been running all the way here, his head and face were covered with sweat.

"Brother Xu, that camp called, saying that your grandma passed away.

Let you and Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, hurry over. "

That person may have been running in a hurry, out of breath, and managed to speak smoothly.

Chapter 218

With a "clang", the bowl in Zhou Guilan's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Zhou Guilan didn't realize it, she just stared at the young man delivering the letter with a pale face, "What's going on? Please speak slowly."

It was only after the words came out that I realized that my voice was trembling out of shape.

"Aunt Xu, the other side of Daying called our commune, saying that your old mother passed away, and asked you and Uncle Xu to go quickly."

When the young man saw Zhou Guilan's appearance, he knew that the old man couldn't bear the blow and was too sad, so he repeated it word by word.

Zhou Guilan swayed twice, but fortunately she was supported by Xue Xiulin and Chen Chunling beside her.

"Mom, be careful, grandma is gone, you have to hold on."

The daughters-in-law looked at their mother-in-law worriedly, and began to persuade her.

On the other side, Xu Chenghou also looked shocked, and came over to support Zhou Guilan.

"Don't cry, our mother has suffered a lot in these years, she is suffering in her heart, and now she is relieved to be gone."

Zhou Guilan didn't cry, but she looked a little numb, "Well, is there still a car in the afternoon? We have to leave quickly, we can't delay."

When her mother passed away, Zhou Guilan had to go to see her off for the last time.

Xu Chenghou didn't know if there was a car, so he turned to look at Xu Shide.

"Yes, there is another train in the afternoon, from Quanyang to Songshu Town, at three o'clock."

Xu Shide is in Daying, he has to take the train every time he comes to Donggang, he knows best.

"It's only one o'clock, I still have time to catch up, San'er, hurry up and get the car.

Jianshe, you drive the car and take you Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, and your third brother to the station. "

On the other side, Zhao Dahai raised his wrist to see that it was just after one o'clock, so he quickly ordered his son to drive the car to the station.

Grandma's death is a major event, there is no room for delay, and everyone can understand, so they got up one after another.

Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe hurried to the barn and took the Xu family's horse out to the carriage.

On the other side, Xu Chenghou discussed with his sons who would go.

"Father, all six of us have to go, the daughter-in-law and children should stay at home.

The children are young, so it's not good to go to this occasion. "Xu Shixian is the eldest son, so he has to say that.

Xu Chenghou thought about it, the children in each family were not very old, and it was two generations apart, so there was no need for the children to come to this kind of occasion.

"Okay, then it's settled, old woman, go, go back and pack up, bring two changes of clothes, let's go quickly."

Zhou Guilan's mind was in a mess right now, she couldn't think at all, she would do whatever Xu Chenghou said.

So he followed Xu Chenghou back to his home, dug out some plain clothes from the closet, and put them in a pocket.

He dug out some money from the cabinet and put it in his pocket.

On the other side, when Yang Chunming, Han Limin and others saw this, they all got up and said goodbye.

"Shiyan, it happened so suddenly, we won't stay here for long.

Hurry up and go to the camp, and take care of your parents, they are old and can't stand the trouble. "

Han Wenzhong came to Xu Shiyan and told him.

"Uncle Han, I'm really sorry, I wanted to invite everyone to have a good time."

Xu Shiyan let out a long sigh. To be honest, he really forgot about it.

"Hey, do we guys still need to talk about this? No one here today is an outsider, and no one will care.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, it is human nature to mourn, and we used to make good arrangements for funerals for the elderly.

Let the old man be buried in a splendid manner, which is also your wish as a junior. "

Han Wenzhong patted Xu Shiyan on the shoulder as a comfort.

Just like that, Zhao Jianshe got into the carriage, took Xu Chenghou and his wife, Xu Shixian's six brothers and sisters, and Wu Qiuyan's mother and son, and went straight to Songjianghe Railway Station.

Zhao Jianshe sent the people there, returned directly, and sent the car back to Xu Shiyan's house.

Xu Shiyan and others went to the station to buy tickets, and entered the station along the zero train at three o'clock in the afternoon.

A group of people got on the car, swayed along the zero car for more than an hour, and finally arrived at Xianren Bridge.

Get off at Xianrenqiao and walk towards Daying on foot. On the way, Wu Qiuyan led her daughter and daughter back to the Hebei Brigade.

Zhou Anping's house is in the middle of Daying Village.

After crossing the small bridge and walking west a few steps, I saw a long string of "dumped papers" raised in front of Zhou's house from a distance.

The inverted paper can be made from paper strips, or directly from burnt paper. The age of the deceased can be seen from the length of the inverted paper, and whether it is male or female can be seen from the placement of the inverted paper.

On the right side of the gate of Zhou Anping’s house, there is an upside-down paper, and on the left side is a white obituary. In addition, there is a long row of red cloth with a banner written in white paint.

Write the name of the person who passed away, the year of death, etc. on it.

Although Zhou Guilan felt uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and endured it all the way, but seeing such scenes at this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Tears fell down with a splash, and the crying became a tearful person.

Xu Chenghou helped Zhou Guilan to walk into the yard, and the younger members of the Zhou family came out to greet her, "Second Aunt, Second Uncle, Cousin."

It is under such circumstances that relatives meet, and it is inevitable that they will be sad and cry.

After entering the courtyard, Zhang Luo, who was in charge of the funeral, called Zhou Guilan and the others over before they could reach the coffin, and pulled off the filial cloth.

Xu Shixian and others are grandsons and granddaughters, and they only need to wear filial piety belts around their waists.

Zhou Guilan knelt before the coffin and wept bitterly, and Xu Shiyan and his brothers also wept.

Although their grandma has been crazy for many years, she is not bad for her grandson.

Every time she came to see her, the old lady would smile and give them delicious food.

Now that the old man passed away, everyone thought of what happened to their grandmother in this life, and they couldn't help but feel sad and grieved, and the tears fell down uncontrollably.

The origin of the Zhou family is also in Qingshangou, Kuandian, belonging to the Jiangjiabaozi, not too far from the silver mine.

When Zhou Guilan's father, Zhou Huaimin, was still there, the Zhou family lived a prosperous life.

The family has a lot of land, cooking pots, weaving workshops, livestock and carts, and many long-term laborers are hired to do the work.

Zhou Huaimin has a good personality, he donates money and makes many friends.

Regardless of whether it is an official person or a bandit beard, they all have friendship.

In the past few years, the Kuandian area was occupied by devils, and the local Huzi actively responded to the call for an uprising against Japan.

One of the teams has a deep friendship with Zhou Huaimin, and Zhou Huaimin often sends food and information to this team.

In the end, he was discovered by the devils and took Zhou Huaimin away. He has never seen him again since, neither alive nor dead.

In those years, there were rumors from time to time, saying that Zhou Huaimin's body was seen in front of a certain mountain temple.

Otherwise, it is said that Zhou Huaimin's head was chopped off and hung on the wall of the county town.

Zhou Huaimin's wife, Jiang Shi, is an illiterate woman with little feet. Her husband had an accident, and the youngest daughter in the family is only three years old. What can she do?

It's just that he was worried all day long and washed his face with tears. He didn't even protect his own property, which was embezzled by others.

The only thing Jiang can do is to quickly marry the eldest daughter Zhang Luo and send the eldest daughter away.

Zhou Guizhi, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, was married off at the age of 15, and later moved to Fusong.

Chapter 219

When Zhou Huaimin was taken away, Zhou Guilan was only eight years old, and her younger sister was only three years old.

Nine years later, the Zhou family was in complete decline.

In order to marry Zhou Guilan's third brother, Zhou Ansheng, Jiang's second daughter was married to Xu's family in the silver mine, and she pawned Xu Chenghou's house as fill-in house.

After changing a lot of dowry money, he turned around and married his third son a daughter-in-law.

Later, the devils withdrew and there was another war in Kuandian, so Jiang took her three sons and the youngest daughter to Fusong to join the eldest daughter.

A few years later, Xu Chenghou and his wife couldn't get along in the silver mine, so they received a letter from Mrs. Jiang asking them to go to Fusong too.

In this regard, a whole family of brothers and sisters came here.

The team funded by Zhou Huaimin then became the Anti-Japanese League, and it is said that some people became senior cadres.

So in the past five or so years, the superiors sent down a working group to live in Zhou's house for half a year, to make contributions to Zhou Huaimin.

But at that time, the Jiang family and Zhou Anping had been terrified after experiencing the troubled times. How could they dare to believe it?

No matter how much people persuaded, they just refused to nod.

The working group stayed here for half a year without any results, and then left.

In the [-]s, Zhou Anping did not know where he got a newspaper with the names of a group of cadres in the capital, and there was a man named Zhou Huaimin.

Now, Mrs. Jiang was in a state of confusion, she had to say that it was her husband.

It is said that Zhou Huaimin is prosperous, married another daughter-in-law in the capital and started a family, and abandoned his wife and children and did not want her.

In this way, Jiang gradually became delirious, with good times and bad times.

When it's good, it's almost like a normal person, but when it's bad, don't mention it, and do all kinds of things.

They put chili peppers in the kang holes to burn, shouted to smoke some yellow skins, or ran around the street with disheveled hair, scolding their husbands for their lack of conscience while running, and leaving her to enjoy the blessings.

Anyway, in those years, Jiang's work was very good. Zhou Anping and Zhou Anfu stayed by their mother's side and suffered a lot.

Only Zhou Ansheng, he moved out of town, quieter.

Mrs. Jiang has been working for these years, and she has done a lot of things to hang herself, but no one thought that she really died this time.

It's also very mysterious to say that Jiang's house has a window, and two nails are driven into the two corners of the window frame.

Jiang took a piece of sack string and tied it to two nails. When he put his head up, he lost his breath.

When Zhou Anping found out, everyone was cold, how can he save him?I can only inform my younger siblings, let's do the funeral.

Zhou Guilan and the others cried for a while, and were persuaded to get up by the helpers, and sat down beside them.

Hearing my elder brother and sister-in-law talk about my mother's dying, in the end, I could only let out a long sigh.

"Hey, this is fate. Who would have thought that a sack line could kill someone?"
