After dressing as a widow

"If you can't live your own life well, what are you doing here?" He looked too old, his face was full of dimples, and his skinny hands seemed to be covered with a layer of skin. Although he was only in his 60s, he looked 80 age is possible.

Moreover, his curved back made him tilt his head even when looking at people, and look at them from the corner of his eyes.

On the way Lin Zhen came here, did I hear Father Lin say that this grandma is a hard-working person who has not conceived for a few years after marriage, was scolded by her in-laws, pointed at by villagers, and had to do the most work every day? Less than half of the respect, hungry meal full meal.

Later, Father Lin was born, but because he was a brother, the situation did not change. People began to say that my brother was useless, and that he was going to marry someone else in the future, and the Guo family had to cut their roots.

Therefore, he could only lead a more difficult life with the neglected Father Lin. According to Father Lin, Father Lin was still young and hadn’t weaned at that time. He cut his finger and gave him blood to drink.

Later, uncle Guo Fu was born. Although the situation was a little bit better, the Guo family's family situation was not good, and they were still in a situation where they had just had enough to eat.

After so many years, Grandma's waist has been bent due to years of hard work, and she has become a person who is almost folded in half.

Father Lin felt sorry for his father, and stretched out his hand to support him: "I come here once or twice a year, and seeing you and my younger brother and daughter-in-law makes me feel at ease."

"Father, this is my third son, named Lin Zhen, Zhener, is this your grandma?"

"Grandma." Lin Zhen stood up holding Guo Yu's child and greeted the grandma.

Guo Amo tilted her head, and looked at Lin Zhen with eyes that he could only look from below: "This kid doesn't look like you at all, go home quickly after this meal, I'm fine here, your brother he It’s also good, live your life well, don’t keep thinking about running here.”

He also said that he didn’t want others to help him. With a stick he picked up randomly from the mountain, he put the firewood in his arm next to the fire pit, and then scooped water into the basin tremblingly. He leaned against the wall to wash his face, wash his hands and wipe his arms. .

In fact, father Lin understood that his father just didn't want his elder brother to subsidize the family, and it would be difficult for Lin Zhen and his father to be caught in the middle. The life of the Lin family has not been easy for so many years, and he is afraid that he will not live well.

Father Lin looked at his father, turned his back and wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and poured out the washing water first: "I will stay for two more days when I come back, and I want to teach my younger brothers how to compost and flush the excrement water. "

"Father, my family has used compost for the past two years, and we have harvested a lot of food. There is no shortage of food."

Guo Ama didn't know what compost and manure were, but he had eyes, so he naturally saw his brother and grandson wearing them.Clothes are fine, no patches, just looking better.

He was very happy, but also worried: "Whether you need to pay for the compost and manure, does your family know?"

"I don't need money, I just need my little brother to contribute," Father Lin said to his father while the iron was hot, "After my family used compost in the first year, one mu of land yielded more than 300 catties of sorghum and buckwheat, a total of 49 bags. You don't know that at that time, many people in the village went to watch the excitement, and we couldn't even make tea."

Guo Amo's hands trembled, and her sunken eyes stared closely at Apa Lin: "How much, how much do you say!"

"It's more than three hundred catties, and a little less than four hundred catties."

"I really don't want money to buy expensive things!? Impossible, it is impossible to have such a good thing!"

"Father, how could I lie to you and my younger brother? I asked Uncle Ping in the village to give you a message last year, but my younger brother didn't follow suit."

Not to mention, Guo Fu's intestines are already remorseful. If he takes Uncle Ping back seriously, the family will have more than half of the food in the autumn harvest last year, and now there is no need to worry about how the family will live until the autumn harvest this year. .

Father Lin repeated what he had just said to his younger brother Guo Fu to Amo Guo. After a while, the food was ready.

Guo Ah, Guo Fu and Guo Fulang, Guo Yu, Guo Xiaohua, and Guo Fu's son Guo Cheng's two sons plus a brother. Daddy Zhenlin had ten people in total, and there was no room for the table, so he had to ask Guo Yu, Guo Xiaohua and the brother of Guo Cheng's family to put the food on the rice and take it to the side to eat.

Auntie Lin picked up food for Amo Guo, and said in a low voice, "The youngest...he won't come to eat..."

Guo Amo's voice didn't fluctuate at all: "I fell in the twelfth lunar month, and I can't get up now. I just asked your sister-in-law to bring it to him to eat."

Suddenly, there was the sound of things being smashed inside the house, accompanied by curses that almost knocked the house down.

What kind of bastard, little rotten bastard, mother bastard, can be called the most complete curse words that Lin Zhen has ever heard, every sentence has no repetition, and it is all directed at Guo Ama.

Immediately, Apa Lin was so angry that his neck hurt, Guo Amo said: "It's like this every day, before I eat enough, I don't cry or make trouble, and when I'm full, I have to find someone to vent my anger."

"But it's better than when I was able to run and hit people."

It's been so many years, it's impossible for Guo Ah to let go of those things in the past, and it's for the sake of the children at home that he can make the youngest Guo have something to eat.

But it is absolutely impossible to ask him to serve him with all his heart and soul. He is not a bodhisattva and can tolerate the past.

When Father Lin heard that he had tortured his father for decades, Guo Lao Yao was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't get up, and some thoughts arose in his heart that might make others think he was disrespectful.

Everyone in the room pretended not to hear the youngest Guo's yelling and scolding. They ate and drank soup. After eating, Father Lin casually asked Guo Fu's eldest son: "Where's Guo Cheng, won't you come back for lunch?"

Guo Fu said: "There is someone in the village who wants to build a house, and he went to help out. He doesn't take money to manage two meals."

Anyway, food is consumed at home, so it's better to go out to find something to eat and save some rations.

But such a good thing can only be turned to a strong man like Guo Cheng who works hard, and a middle-aged man like Guo Fu is rarely called, and the owner is afraid of losing money.

Several people were talking here, and Lin Zhen saw that Guo Yu was absent-minded, and his hands on his knees were twisted into twists. He took the initiative to move the stool and walked over, teasing the brother in Guo Yu's arms: "Brother Yu!" What's the matter? I see you seem to want to say something?"

Guo Yu is married in the village. He came to pay New Year's greetings in the morning and will go back later. He looked at Lin Zhen, gritted his teeth, and said what was in his heart: "Brother Zhen, the method of composting and watering manure, Can I... can I also use it in my house..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. It's just that the family's income is too little, and we will run out of food in half a month. If we can collect more food this year, my family won't have to look for work everywhere. I haven't been at home for more than ten days."

Guo Yu is two years younger than Lin Zhen. He is seventeen this year, but his skin is dark, and two fine lines have already appeared in the corners of his eyes. He looks ten years older than Lin Zhen.

He is also short, half a head shorter than Lin Zhen, with thick bones but no flesh.

Lin Zhenxin felt a little uncomfortable, he straightened his waist and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, Dad and I planned to teach you how to make compost and manure, not only you, but also other families in Xiaogang Village, Teach them all."

Lin Zhen felt that he was not a good person to save the poor, but he never wanted to hide the methods of composting and watering manure from the beginning, he just came up with the method, and others did the work.

The other people chatting in the room looked at him abruptly, even Guo Fu, Guo Fulang and Guo Amo didn't expect that he actually had such a plan.

"Brother, are you really planning to teach these methods to us people in Xiaogang Village?" Guo Fu stammered.

Lin Zhen nodded: "It's better for everyone to have more food. There's nothing wrong with it. I just need to ask uncle to go to the village and ask other families. If you want to come and listen, we won't force you if you don't want to."

Just like in Liyu Village, the Lin family made compost in the first year. They didn't see the actual effect, and very few people dared to make a decision. In the second year, they realized that compost was indeed a good thing, and they rushed to do it.

Guo Fu's heart was trembling, he couldn't tell Lin Zhen any other feelings, he just felt that his nephew was different from them, although he was a brother, he was really promising.

He stood up excitedly and said, "I'll go and tell them right away!"

As soon as the voice fell, the man walked down the mountain road to other houses along the mountain road.

Guo Fulang said: "Your uncle is a warm-hearted person. There are a few people in the village who are having a good time. When I have something good at home, I can't help but want to talk about it with others."

It is indeed as Guo Fulang said, Guo Fu is very popular in the village, and he has good friends with several families. He thought before that his family won the elder brother’s family and collected more grain. If asked by friends, what should he say? .

It's all right now, Lin Zhen promised himself, he doesn't have to think about it anymore.

Guo Fu strolled around the village, walking quickly, and soon climbed up a small hill seven or eight minutes away from his home, and shouted loudly to the people in the house: "Old man Fang, I have something good for you! "

The voice was so loud that the people in the room shook, and they came out to look at him with their hands behind their backs. Seeing his flushed face, they were a little surprised: "It must be that something good happened to you, why do you look like you want to give birth to a big fat boy?"

"Hey!" Guo Fusan stepped up and patted him on the shoulder, "It's a great thing for you and me!"

Old man Fang's wife poured water for the two of them with a bowl, and sat next to them to add firewood. The two families are not far away, and they communicate a lot on weekdays, and their relationship is closer than ordinary neighbors.

Guo Fu picked up the bowl and drank two sips of water, his voice couldn't hold back the excitement and excitement: "My brother married to Liyu Village, you know, he brought his brother back today to celebrate the New Year."

"I know. I was still in the sending team back then. Why, the good thing you said has something to do with your brother's family?"

"That's right!" Guo Fu kept his face in front of Father Lin and Lin Zhen, and couldn't care less in front of his old friends. He danced and said, "My brother and his brother brought a food that can increase food production. Method, one mu of land, three hundred catties of grain!"
