The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

That night, Xiaoxi did not go back to Li's mother's room, but slept with Li Chengye.The child was emotional before, cried again, and soon fell asleep, Li Chengye put him on his left side, and he also lay down.

He didn't fall asleep immediately, and he was still thinking about the future arrangements in his mind. He originally planned to work in the county alone for a while, and after he stabilized, he would find a way to move the household registration of the two children and Li's mother there. I can find a job for Li's mother.

However, the county is far away from the village, and it takes nearly three hours to walk there. If he goes to work, he will definitely not have time to go home.In Xiaoxi's current situation, he didn't dare not go home for too long, and he didn't feel at ease.

The Li family has some money now, and they can go to the county to buy a house, but now the house is really hard to buy, and they don't know how much it will cost.He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still didn't come to a conclusion. He thought it would be better to discuss it with Mother Li tomorrow.

Li Chengye thought too much at night and didn't sleep well at all. On the contrary, Xiaoxi next to him fell asleep very comfortably.In the morning, he was woken up by Tokyo next to him. Li Chengye opened his eyes and looked to the side. Xiaoxi had already woken up and was lying on the bed playing marbles.He was happy playing alone, with a smile on his face, and he looked more cheerful than yesterday.

Seemingly feeling Li Chengye's gaze, Xiaoxi looked over and saw Li Chengye woke up and quickly called "Father".

"Well, let's get up!" Li Chengye glanced out the window, it was already bright, and he got up a little late today.

When the father and son packed up and left the room, Mother Li and Xiaobei were already having breakfast. Mother Li knew that the father and son had a fight late last night, so she didn't wake them up. Besides, it's hot now, so she doesn't worry about breakfast. cold.

"You guys are up, hurry up and have breakfast."

"Okay." Li Chengye nodded, took Xiaoxi's hand to wash up, and rubbed Xiaobei's head as he passed by, receiving a bright smile from the other side.

Under Li Chengye's strong request, the Li family's food has improved a lot now. The porridge in the morning is very thick, and half of it is rice.After breakfast, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei went outside to play. Since Li Chengye bought toys for them, many children in the village rushed to play with them.No one dared to bully them again. You must know that Li Chengye was a soldier before, and he will be a cadre in the future. The adults in these children's families have told them to have fun with Xiaoxi and Xiaobei.

The seedlings in the village are almost finished, and Mother Li will only have to take care of the pigs for a while, so she will not rush out at this meeting.

After Li's mother cleaned up the kitchen, Li Chengye pulled him to sit down, "Mother, I thought about it, why don't we move to the county?"

"What?" Li's mother was still thinking about where to cut pigweed later, but she heard Li Chengye drop a big bomb, which almost didn't scare her.

"I want to buy a house in the county, and our family will move to the county." Li Chengye repeated, this is a decision he has thought about.

"No, no, the house in the county is so expensive, how much will it cost?" Mother Li shook her head in a panic. She had never thought about buying a house in the county. Although she had more than 2000 yuan in her hand, This is reserved for the son to marry a daughter-in-law, so how can it be spent indiscriminately.

"Mom, the county is so far away from our home. It will be inconvenient for me to come back when the time comes. I won't be able to catch up with you if something happens to you. How can you rest assured?" Li Chengye has already made up his mind, and the medical education in the village is not very perfect. , it is better to go to the county.

"There is nothing to worry about. I am only 46 this year. I am in very good health. There is no problem in taking care of my two children." Although Li's mother wanted to be with her son, she did not have a job and could not get a job in the county. Supplying food will only drag down his son, so he might as well stay in the village and earn some food.

"Mother, I..."

"Okay, don't talk about this matter anymore, I'm used to it here, but I'm not used to it when I go to the city." Li's mother directly interrupted what Li Chengye hadn't finished, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.

"But……"

"There's a lot of grass growing in the vegetable garden. I'm going to get it done. You won't talk to you anymore." Mother Li stood up straight away, and then went out the door, and the conversation ended.

"Sigh." Li Chengye sat helplessly on the chair. He had prepared a lot of reasons to persuade Mother Li, but he didn't expect that he didn't even say it. He didn't expect Mother Li to be so firm.Sitting there and thinking for a while, since Li's mother is doing it because of money, then he will go to the county to work for two days first, and wait until he finds out how much it will cost to buy a house.

He sat for a while, and was about to go back to his room to continue writing. When he walked to the door, he heard a noise coming from outside. He felt a little strange, who would come here.As soon as he turned his footsteps, he walked towards the door.

At this time, there was already a commotion outside the yard, and it was the Hu family who came here. Hu's mother thought that Li Chengye had served as a soldier, and her sons would not dare to come here, so she brought her two daughters-in-law over. Dare to touch a woman.

When they came over, the momentum was quite high, and Hu's mother would say that by the time Li Chengye came home, she had already fabricated a story to the people in the village that Li Chengye had messed with men and women outside, and faked news of death to force her daughter to divorce. Out.She spoke with a nose and eyes, as if she had really seen it, and some people really doubted it.

At this time, there were still some women in the village who did not go to work in the fields, and many of them followed the Hu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law far away. By the time Li Chengye came home, many people had gathered.

Mother Li was working in the vegetable field, when she heard a familiar voice from a distance, before she had time to wash her hands, Mother Hu and the others had already arrived in front of her.

"Hey, you're at home too, that's just right! Ask Li Chengye to come out for me too, your family is really doing a good job!" When Hu's mother saw Li's mother, she put her waist in her waist, looking angrily, like How sorry the Li family is to them.

As soon as Li's mother saw her, she immediately pulled her face down, "You still have the face to come here, our Li family hasn't gone to your house to make trouble, but you are uncomfortable running here by yourself?"

"Hey, why am I ashamed, but your surname Li is sorry for us Xiuqin."

"Oh, your girl has abandoned her husband and son, and said that our surname Li is sorry for her?" Li's mother almost laughed angrily, and she didn't know how this person had the face to bring someone over to call, and took a look. Around, many people have come over, they are all like to gossip in the village, all of them are watching the excitement, it is not a big deal, maybe they are here to ruin their family's reputation.

"I think your family, Li Chengye, is messing around outside. Otherwise, why did you suddenly say that you were sacrificed, and within two days, you said it was a misrepresentation?"

"Maybe it's your conspiracy to drive my daughter out and ask Li Chengye to come out." Hu's mother spoke louder and louder, and she looked confident in her clothes. Now, in her opinion, this is the truth.

"Aunt Li, let Chengwazi come out!"

"Yeah, what's the matter, come out and make it clear!"

"Yes, yes, why did you say that you were sacrificed before? Who spread the news?"

"..."

At this time, the people who watched the excitement around also spoke one after another.

"I'm here." At this moment, Li Chengye came out. Under the eyes of everyone, he walked quickly a few steps, and arrived in front of Li's mother, blocking her behind.

Li Chengye was dressed in black today, and when he came out, his face was dark and he looked a little unfriendly, and the person who was shouting just now suddenly became quiet.Everyone in the village has met Li Chengye before, but today they feel as if they don't know each other at all, and their aura is a bit strong.

The hearts of the aunts and aunts who were watching were moved. The son of the Li family is really good-looking. He is still a cadre. They have a daughter in their family, so they can try it.Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, if you marry, you will be a stepmother for two children, and your daughter will be married for the first time.

Some people are reluctant, and naturally there are those who want to return their daughters for a good price. They feel that as long as they give more gifts, the first marriage and the second marriage don't matter at all.The onlookers were honest, but Mother Hu was not. She came here today to make a fortune.

"Yo, it's considered to be out. I thought you were going to hide. You can't hide other people in your house, right?" Mother Hu was a little shy at first, but the money of the Li family seemed to be poisonous. Generally, let her forget to be afraid.

"Hu family, what do you mean by that, how do you ruin my son's reputation?" Li's mother was so angry that she wished she could not scratch her face. The Hu family wanted her son's life. Knowing that messing with men and women in this era is a crime of hooliganism, and if it is serious, you will be arrested and imprisoned for a lifetime, or even the death penalty.

"Auntie, you must speak with evidence." Li Chengye had never seen such a messy person before, and he felt a little impatient.

"Evidence? What evidence do you need? When you said you sacrificed, your mother kept all the money in her hands and didn't give any money to our family Xiuqin. Didn't she just force her to leave on purpose? She is a woman, and she still needs money." Bringing two children, aren't you a bully?"

"I knew your mother couldn't get used to my daughter and had always treated her badly. You give your mother most of your salary every month. What do you think of your wife?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did your son and daughter bring up two children? My son gives her ten yuan a month. She doesn't even buy candy for her son. Isn't all the money moved back to her mother's house? Child, she runs to her mother's house every day, and some days she really works at home, every time I buy something, it disappears the next day."

The more Li's mother talked, the more angry she became. She really didn't like her daughter-in-law. She didn't know it before. When she introduced her, she only said that she was good-looking and hardworking.After getting married and living a life, I realized that hard work is good, but it is a pity that I worked so hard that I went back to my mother's house every day to work, and there was no work point in my village. On the contrary, my mother's family was full of work points.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hu's mother was a little guilty by what Li's mother said.

"I'm talking nonsense, who in the surrounding villages doesn't know that the daughters of Hu Wansan's family are all first-class filial people, that is, they are only filial to their mother's family, and they take things from their husband's family to be filial to their mother's family." Li's mother snorted coldly, His tone was full of disdain.

"That's right, the daughter of the Hu family is the most filial..."

"First class filial piety..."

"I don't want such a filial daughter-in-law..."

There are voices of discussion all around, but this time they are all on Mother Li's side. Mother Hu immediately became a little anxious, and turned her head to stare at the two daughters-in-law who would just stand silently, thinking that they were very useless , will not help her speak.

The two daughters-in-law of the Hu family have been oppressed by their mother-in-law for a long time at home. They are like responders. How can they help her? It's time to stand in front.

"Let's not talk about this matter, what happened to the news of your sacrifice, did you deliberately collude and spread false news?" Mother Hu had no choice but to go up by herself.

"Also, do you have someone outside? Let me tell you, it's impossible to get rid of our Xiuqin. If you don't pay me 500 yuan today, I will write to the army to report you!"

Li Chengye's face was as heavy as water, and he was really impatient to pester her, "Fake news, can the news about the army be fake news? I can still collude with the army. Are you slandering the army? You framed the army defending the country. You are really capable. I still want 500 yuan, and let me tell you, I don’t have a penny. If you have the ability, go to the army, and when you see it, who will you arrest?”

"Also, my two sons, Xiaoxi and Xiaobei, are enough for my whole life. I don't plan to remarry. Naturally, I won't calculate your daughter's divorce. It's impossible!"

Li Chengye wasn't afraid at all, the army had found out everything about him before, the Hu family was just talking nonsense, and they would only be the ones who would suffer.

"You..." Mother Hu was immediately frightened by Li Chengye. She didn't know that she had slandered the army with her words, but she didn't dare.

"The Hu family, do you have any evidence in your hand, why don't you really go to the army and try?"

"Yes, yes, the army can still collude with the Li family, isn't it funny?"

"I think Chengwazi is absolutely innocent..."

"That's right, that's right, I'll tell you that I won't get married in the future."

"That's right, Chengwazi is a soldier who defends his home and country, can the head of the human army misunderstand someone?"

"..."

Everyone around the meeting started to speak out for Li Chengye, and they naturally knew that the Hu family was just making up things for the purpose of asking for money, it was really shameless.

"Mother, let's go first!" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Hu family was also very flustered, and quickly pinched her mother-in-law's wrist, trying to drag her back, because she must be out of money now.

"Let's go." Hu's mother is very scared now, how dare she go to the army, she didn't know that the news came from the army, and she insisted that it was Li Chengye who asked someone to spread the fake news.After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait." Li Chengye uttered immediately as the bitch was about to leave.The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and many people still thought that Li Chengye would not really send his ex-mother-in-law to the army to go to jail, right?

Hu's mother also froze, and her mind was similar to those people's thoughts.

"In the future, your Hu family will be farther away from our Li family. Since Hu Xiuqin has already married someone else, let's live a good life and don't disturb my two sons. And your Hu family will have nothing to do with our Li family in the future." Li Chengye didn't want to There will be troubles next time, and I don't want the two children to be injured.

"No matter what Xiaoxi and Xiaobei say, they are still my grandsons..." Hu's mother was not reconciled, and she was still thinking about finding a way to win over the two grandchildren in the future.

"Heh, Aunt Hu, you will have new grandchildren in the future, let's forget about these two, so as not to drag your daughter down." Li Chengye still remembered what Hu's mother said to Xiaoxi.

Hu's mother really didn't dare to say anything else, and left without saying a word.

As soon as the people left, Li's mother entered the house with an ugly face, and the neighbors around did not respond to her talking.

Li Chengye doesn't have a good impression of these people, but even if they want to move, they still have to live here for a period of time. After barely coping with these people, they enter the house after a few words. These people didn't ask him how his future job is, and the salary is about How many are there, just to persuade him to find another one in the future, which is very noisy.
