60s Splendid Life

However, Mrs. Lu quickly remembered that she still had a daughter who had no family and was still in this family.

Yes, she has a daughter!

When she realized that she still had a daughter who could work for her, Mrs. Lu seemed to have found the motivation to live. She quickly put on her shoes and walked out with her little feet at a speed that young people did not have. Outside the door of my daughter's house, seeing that the door was still closed, I felt angry for a while, raised my hand and started banging on the door.

"Who, who is knocking on the door! Are you crazy, knocking on the door early in the morning!" A distraught voice came from inside.

Lu Jianhong, who was sleeping in the room, was hit by the knock on the door. She wanted to continue sleeping even though she was covered with a quilt, but the sound of the door slamming outside continued. She was so angry that she lifted the quilt and put on a coat and stood up with an angry face. to open the door.When she saw that it was her own mother who knocked on the door, Lu Jianhong didn't put away the anger on her face, and asked angrily, "Mother, what are you doing knocking on the door of my room so early in the morning? Let no one sleep!"

Said that Lu Jianhong scratched her hair irritably, opened her mouth and yawned, she didn't sleep well these days because of the troubles at home, she managed to sleep well today, and her mother knocked on her room early in the morning The door woke her up.

"It's still early? Don't look at the sun outside. Get up quickly and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes." Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter who had only woken up until now, and then remembered that she had raised this daughter For more than ten years, this daughter has never washed a bowl or a piece of clothes for her. When this daughter is married, it will be difficult for her to call someone back to work for her, so she has to take advantage of her daughter's return. If you are not married, send your daughter to work more, or you will make others cheaper in the future!When thinking of this, Mrs. Lu felt that she was so smart. She hadn't remembered the person who was right in front of her eyes!

When Lu Jianhong heard her mother call her to wash the dishes, her eyes widened, and she looked at her mother with the expression "Are you crazy", "I won't go back! If you want to wash it, you can do it yourself!" He closed the door of the room.

"Boom bang bang-"

"Open the door for me! Open the door, open the door!"

Soon there were banging on the door outside, and the voice of old lady Lu cursing. How she used to scold her two daughter-in-laws and several granddaughters, now she is scolding her own daughter.

Lu Jianhong, who was listening in the room, couldn't bear her mother's insults, so she opened the door and came out to argue with her mother.

Sitting in front of the mirror, Chen Aihong, who was dressing up, listened to the sound of the bitch biting the dog, the corners of her mouth curled up in pleasure, she snorted, and called her man to come over and help her comb her hair, "What are you looking at, come and comb my hair."

"Daughter-in-law." Lu Jianqun took the comb that his wife had stuffed into his hand, glanced towards the door, then looked into the mirror, met his wife's eyes, and quickly took the comb to help her comb her hair. His mother and sister were all forgotten by him.

Lu Jiankang, who was still sleeping in another room, was woken up by the noise. He pulled the quilt over his head and continued to sleep as if he couldn't hear him.

The people living next door heard the old lady Lu arguing with her daughter, and within a long time the story spread throughout the village, and there were many people who laughed behind their backs.

***

At this time, Wang Meili, who moved out of the Lu family's old house, lived with her three sons and two daughters in the old house borrowed from the brigade. The house they borrowed was originally a house for a mother and daughter in the village. The house used to be a widowed mother with her daughter, but later the widowed mother died and the daughter married to another village, so the house became vacant and was just lent to them.

It’s just that the house has not been lived in for a long time, and the doors, windows and roof have been broken. After the family moved in, they cleaned the house, installed an old door, and found something to block the wind from the window. The two sons went up to repair it. The family lived on the roof.

There is only one bedroom and one main room here. The main room is still connected to the kitchen for cooking, and the place is very small. Wang Meili and her two daughters live in the inner bedroom, and move the cooking stove outside the room to cook. After leaving the main room outside, a bed was made for the three sons.It's just that the husband still lives in the old house and didn't live with them.

When they were kicked out on the first day of the Lunar New Year, their mother-in-law didn't even allow them to take away the quilts they slept on, let alone the food at home. .Fortunately, the three sons were also willing to follow her mother, so Wang Meili became hardened. As long as her sons are willing to follow her, she will not be afraid of being helpless for the rest of her life.

Later, the eldest son went to the head of the brigade to set up a new household, and moved their household registration from the old house to the new household. From now on, their grain household registration will follow the new household. As long as they go to work, they will not be afraid of lack of food. Don't be afraid to go hungry.

The matter of their separation has been noisy for several days. After several captains came forward to help them speak, the mother-in-law at home asked them to take out all the bedding and clothes in their own room, and refused to give them the rest. Take more.Wang Meili still remembers what her mother-in-law scolded them when they went to move things, called them thieves, and went to their house to steal things. Every time she thought of this, her hatred for the old lady deepened in her heart.

Fortunately, the elder brother of her natal family knew about their separation and sent them some food and bedding from her natal family. Wang Meili knew that it was her mother who cared about her, so she asked her elder brother to send her these things.

The husband brought them a few bags of food one night, saying that the father-in-law asked him to bring it.If it wasn't for the children, Wang Meili wouldn't want anything from the old house at all, but for the sake of the children, even though she hated the old man and the old man, she still accepted the things her husband sent.

Although her husband is not around, but she can move out, and her children are willing to follow her, Wang Meili has nothing else to ask for.She has been married for nearly 20 years and has been tortured by her mother-in-law. Now that she is free from her mother-in-law's control, she seems to be a few years younger, with a smile on her face.

It wasn't until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year that Lu Jin asked Lu Bocheng for help, and brought a cart of things to his aunt's side.

Wang Meili was squatting in front of the small stove at the door to light a fire, and when she heard the sound of wheels, she turned her head and saw her nephew and someone pushing a cart towards them. nervous.

The car they pulled stopped in front of his aunt, and Lu Jin called out, "Aunt."

"Hey, Xiao Jin is here. Can you sit in the room?" Wang Meili forced a smile on her face, and waved her hands for her nephew to come in and sit down.Just remembering that the sons in the main room had made beds to sleep there, Wang Meili looked a little embarrassed, and was hesitating whether to invite someone in.

Lu Jin glanced into the room and saw his little cousin standing at the door looking at him. He shook his head and said, "I won't go in. There are some old things at home. I don't know if my uncle can use them here. I will send it to you, auntie, if you need it, you can use it, if you don’t need it, you can give it away.”

"This..." Wang Meili looked at the things on the cart, saw several large packages on it, and didn't know what was inside.

"It's a few old quilts and some old clothes. I washed them all." Lu Jin asked Lu Bocheng to move down with him.After getting a new quilt this year, he replaced all the old quilts from last year, as well as some old clothes his parents had already worn. It was useless to keep them, so he sent them to his aunt.

People nowadays don’t pay much attention to saying that the clothes of a dead person cannot be worn. Many people’s family’s cotton padded clothes are worn by three generations. To throw away.So in the past few days, Lu Jin packed up the unnecessary things at home and sent them to his aunt.

"It's useful, thank you so much, Xiaojin." Wang Meili didn't expect her nephew to send them so many things. The weather is cold now, and they brought out an old quilt and gifts from her mother's family. One bed was also an old quilt, and it was still shivering at night under the cover.

Not to mention clothes, originally they didn't have much clothes, and the mother and daughter took turns wearing a thick coat in winter, and whoever wanted to go out would wear it, and those who didn't go out would hide in the house.

At this time, someone brought them bedding and clothes, which was tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Lu Jin could see the excitement of his uncle's mother. The reason why he sent these things to his uncle's mother today was to repay the bag of sweet potatoes and a few old clothes that their uncle sent them back then. He doesn't like to owe favors to others. Now that he has the opportunity, he will come and pay them back.In addition to food, he also sent some food over, "These two packs are some food, there are some dried sweet potato powder and dried sweet potato, and my pickled radish and sauerkraut."

Last year, he exchanged a lot of sweet potatoes with others. Most of the sweet potatoes were made into potato flour and dried sweet potatoes. Except for those sold, some of the sweet potatoes were kept at home, so the fresh sweet potatoes at home It wasn't too much, and he didn't send it.

"Just give us the bedding and clothes. You don't need the food. You can take the food home." Wang Meili knew that the lives of her nephews and nieces were no better than theirs, so she gave them clothes now. She also sent food for what she used, and she felt very guilty. She felt guilty that when the nephews and nieces were divided out, she didn't send anything to the nephews and nieces.I didn't even want to upset my mother-in-law, and I didn't have any contact with my nephews and nieces.

Unexpectedly, Wang Meili felt ashamed and regretful in her heart when her nephew knew that they had a difficult life and sent them so many things, her eyes were red.

However, Lu Jin shook his head, and after delivering the things, he thanked his aunt, "Xiaobao and the others are still waiting for me to go back at home, and brother Bocheng and I will go back first." Brother pulled the scooter and left together.

Standing in the wind, Wang Meili watched her nephew and others pull the cart, and then pulled the cart away.
