60s Splendid Life

The sun set in the west, and the commune members who were working in the field also called it a day and went home to eat.

Now the work in the village is divided according to the production team. A production team has several teams under its jurisdiction. For example, their Lu family has three production teams, and each production team has its own farming land and production tasks.

Except for the busy farming season, the working hours are generally eight hours a day, from 8:12 am to 2:6 am, with a two-hour break at noon, and generally from 02:30 am to 06:30 pm.In winter, work will be done half an hour earlier, and it will end half an hour earlier; in summer, the sun is too strong, and work will be delayed until [-]:[-], but it will also be delayed until [-]:[-].

The remuneration for work is calculated according to the work points of the individual. Generally, the full work points for an adult male is 10 points, and the work points for women are slightly lower, 7-9 points, and about 3 points for children. Generally, they often work in rural areas. Most of the male labor force in their prime can get 10 points, and some women who work hard can get the same 10 points as men.Of course, there are some people who can't get a passing grade.

At this time of year, it is time to prepare for spring plowing. Young adults in almost every household in the village will go to work in the fields. Generally, the labor force in the family is relatively large, and the women stay at home to take care of the children and do some chores instead of going to the fields.

Take Lu Laogen's family as an example. Lu Laogen and his two sons went to work in the fields. The old Dalu Jianguo had three sons and two daughters. The two sons and a 14-year-old daughter, Lu Xiaomei, have already gone to work with adults. up.But Erfang gave birth to three daughters and a son. The third son was only 12 years old, the eldest daughter Lu Xiaolan was 16 years old, the second daughter Lu Xiaoxin was 15 years old, and the youngest sister was nine years old. None of the three sisters went to the field. go to work.

Lu Laogen and Mrs. Lu also have a young son and a young daughter. The two siblings, Lu Jiankang and Lu Jianhong, have never worked in the fields.

This is why Wang Meili, as the eldest wife of the big house, is dissatisfied with this family. She feels that her husband and children earn the work points of this family. If a family eats with more than a dozen mouths, their big house will leave. When five people go to work, they do the most work, but they eat the least at home.

Wang Meili wanted to raise the family separation countless times in her heart, but she dared not bring it up with her husband every time the words came to her lips, because he knew that a filial husband would not want to separate the family, and they were the eldest, even if they were the old man who separated the family. He and the old lady will live with their big house.She is very envious of the nephew who is resolute and determined to separate the family and successfully separated. Today she heard outside that several nephews and nieces came back from outside.

It's just that the old lady doesn't like them to associate with their nephews, and they don't have any friendship with them, so Wang Meili doesn't want to offend her mother-in-law because of this, so she hasn't had any contact with her nephews and nieces.

The old lady in the family does not work, so the task of cooking at home is that she and her aunt Chen Aihong take turns cooking.Today it was Wang Meili's turn to cook. The 11-year-old fourth daughter Lu Xiaohui didn't go out with her brothers and sisters, but stayed at home to help her cook together.

In the past, there was a subsidy sent back by the three-bedroom couple. The life of their family was better, and they could see the meat twice a month.But since Sanfang and his wife left, without the subsidy money that Sanfang gave back, their family's life has gradually become more difficult.In addition, a few nephews and nieces came back and made a fuss for a while, and took hundreds of dollars from the old lady. They haven't seen any meat on the dining table for several months, and they eat it every day. Steamed buns made of whole grains and wild vegetables, and sweet potato porridge.

In the past few days, it has improved a little bit. Cornmeal was put in the steamed buns made with noodles.

People who went out to work came back from the outside one after another, and their dinner also started.

"Let's eat." Mrs. Lu's face was as heavy as ever, and the more old-fashioned her face looked, the meaner she looked, and there was never a smile on her serious face.

The food at home is divided by the old lady, and no one dares to have any opinions.

But everyone does not include Lu Jiankang. Lu Jiankang looked at the table with a few steamed buns and a large pot of wild vegetables, and cursed, "I eat these pig food every day", dropped his chopsticks and left, the old lady was so angry His tone was almost out of breath.

The old lady Lu pointed to her youngest son who carried the bicycle out the door, and rode away on the bicycle. Even so, she was not willing to use those vicious words to scold the young son who was raised by her in the palm of her hand, and stared back at him. She scolded her daughter-in-law and granddaughters who looked at her: "Put down the chopsticks for me if you don't want to eat, eat whatever you want, I only know how to eat every day..."

"Okay, let's eat, why are you talking so much?"

In the end, it was Lu Laogen who made a sound, and the old lady Lu stopped talking, and ate with a cold face.

Lu Jianhong looked at her brother who had left, and although she was very reluctant to eat such a thing, she was still hungry, so she could only grab the steamed buns in the bowl and start eating.

However, what happened in the old Lu family house had nothing to do with the Lu Jin brothers and sisters who lived in a separate small courtyard at this time.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Jin brought their three children to Captain Lu's house.They came at just the right time, just when other people finished eating and cleared the table, they arrived, and they would not affect other people's meals.

"You children are here. Have you eaten yet?" Seeing Lu Jin bringing her brothers and sisters, Mrs. Qin asked them to sit down with a smile, and asked her daughter-in-law to pour out a pot of water.

Lu Jin replied with a smile, "I've eaten."

Captain Lu married Aunt Qin and had three sons. The eldest son Lu Bowen is 22 years old and married. He and his wife Wang Xiumei have two sons. The eldest son is 4 years old and the youngest son is 2 years old.The other two sons, Lu Bocheng and Lu Boli, are 18 and 15 years old respectively. The 15-year-old Lu Boli went to the town to go to high school and was not at home, so only two of Mrs. Qin's three sons were at home.

They didn't see Captain Lu's two sons when they came last time, but they only saw brothers Lu Bowen and Lu Bocheng this time.Lu Bowen looks more like Captain Lu, with a Chinese character face, and looks a bit serious.And Lu Bo grew up more like Aunt Qin, his eyes seemed to be naturally smiling, and he greeted them when he saw them coming.

Lu Jin led his younger siblings to say hello to Aunt Qin and the two elder brothers, and also thanked this elder brother who sent something to them last time, "Thank you, Brother Bocheng, for sending us something last time."

"You're welcome, my aunt asked me to send it. You just have to thank my aunt." Lu Bocheng was a cheerful young man. Looking at the boy who came over to thank him, Lu Jin brothers and sisters came back to the village like this. A long time ago, he had only seen Lu Jin from a distance a few times before. He looked like a thin young man, not like someone who dared to break up with his grandparents and ask for money.Until now, when he met the young man with resolute and clear eyes, he knew that this young man's bones were far stronger than his appearance.

Upon hearing her son's words, Aunt Qin said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, you don't need to thank me, when will the thank you come and go be the first."

Lu Bowen's wife Wang Xiumei went into the house and brought out a pot of water and cups. After pouring water for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she poured water for her husband, brother-in-law and young guests who came to the house.Lu Jin took the water and thanked him: "Thank you sister-in-law."

Wang Xiumei pursed her lips and smiled, saying no thanks.

The two grandsons of Captain Lu's family saw someone coming to their house to look for their grandfather. The two brothers looked at the guest very curiously.One of the brothers is named Lu Zhanpeng and the other is named Lu Changze, but they also have a nickname, the elder brother is Da Mao, and the younger is Xiao Mao.

The two-year-old Lu Xiaomao is already walking very steadily, and his two short legs are walking fast. He is standing beside Lu Jin, tilting his head and curiously looking at the little brother who is held in the arms of the big brother, wanting to Pull the little brother down to play with him.

Seeing that little Bao'er was unwilling to go down to play with the little brothers, Lu Jin took out a handful of fruit candies from his arms and gave them to the two little guys, asking Chenchen to play with the two little brothers.

Chenchen is very sensible and took her two little brothers to play.

"Grandma, grandma." Four-year-old Lu Damao went over to show his grandma the candy in his hand.Aunt Qin was still a little strange, and asked, "Hey, where did you get the candy?"

"Brother here." Lu Damao pointed to the brother who gave him candy over there.Aunt Qin found that the two grandsons not only had candies in their hands, but also had candies in their pockets, and hurriedly asked the grandsons to return some, "How can I take so much from others?"

"No need to return it. I still have a lot here. If you don't have enough, come get it from me." Lu Jin took out another handful of fruit candies from his pocket. These colorful-coated fruit candies were stuffed by the old lady to bring them back.

Even brothers Chenchen and Xiaobao had a lot of candy in their pockets, and Chenchen took out some to share with the two younger brothers.

Lu Damao and Lu Xiaomao had sweet candies in their mouths, and the two little brothers smiled so hard that their eyes narrowed.

Aunt Qin had no choice but to let her grandson return the sugar.

After dinner, Captain Lu had the most leisurely time of the day. He saw his two little grandsons eating sweets and kissing Lu Jin brothers. He had a rare smile on his face. Jin held the child in his arms and asked, "How is your brother's feet?"

"This time we went to the town to find a Chinese medicine doctor to see his feet. After a period of treatment, it was better than before." The child was wearing long trousers to cover up his pale feet, and Lu Jin didn't deliberately stand in front of so many people. Lifting up the child's trousers to show everyone his little feet, he knew the child would be upset.

"That's good." Captain Lu nodded and said.

"We moved to live in the house here today. Thank you, Captain, for arranging a place for us to live in, and getting someone to clean up the yard for us." Lu Jin came to Captain Lu's house today, and he came here specially to thank him.

Captain Lu waved his hand, and said indifferently, "It's fine for you to stay here. If you have anything to do, you can come here to find me, or talk to your aunt."

"Okay. Thank you, Captain." Lu Jin got up, and took a few brothers and sisters to bow to the captain and Aunt Qin.
