I have 1 after wearing the chronology

Xu Kongshan remembers things long ago, before Xu Laiqian was born, Sun Dahua treated him sincerely, perhaps because he knew that Xu Youcai was unreliable and pinned his hopes on him.

He still remembers that spring afternoon more than ten years ago, when Sun Dahua sat on a chair and sewed a schoolbag for him: "Mom will send you to school when you are seven years old."

The schoolbag made of rags is not good-looking, and Sun Dahua's needlework is so-so, but Xu Kongshan is still very happy. He sleeps with the schoolbag at night, thinking about his classroom life after school.

However, at the beginning of the summer of the same year, Sun Dahua became pregnant, and the family's financial conditions were tight, so the work that Sun Dahua could not do fell to Xu Kongshan.

"Dashan, I will send you to school after mom is born."

Xu Kongshan nodded obediently, and put the schoolbag in the cabinet as a treasure.

Sun Dahua's belly gradually became pregnant, and the experience of the village said that her child must be a son. Xu Kongshan saw a bright smile on Sun Dahua's face that he had never seen before.

Later, Sun Dahua did give birth to a son. Xu Youcai shouted excitedly in the yard when he heard what the midwife said: "I, Xu Youcai, finally have a son!"

The villagers were busy with spring plowing, and his words only fell into the ears of Xu Kongshan who hurried back after receiving the news of Sun Dahua's birth.

Why did Xu Youcai say that he finally had a son?Isn't he Xu Youcai's son?

Xu Kongshan faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it, and his mood was quickly replaced by the joy of having a younger brother.

After Xu Laiqian was born, Xu Kongshan became busier every day. He had to wash diapers for Xu Laiqian.The younger brother is really troublesome, the seven-year-old Xu Kongshan's hands turned white from soaking in the water, but he doesn't dislike it.

He is an older brother, and he wants to give in to his younger brother.

Xu Laiqian has to change diapers countless times a day, and the clotheslines are covered with blue or gray diapers.There were not enough diapers at home, so Sun Dahua unpacked Xu Kongshan's little book.

"I'll sew another one for you when my brother doesn't need it."

No matter how slow Xu Kongshan was, he could still realize that Sun Dahua's attitude towards him had changed. Otherwise, how could he say that he used Xu Laiqian's diapers to sew him a schoolbag.

But what he didn't expect was that what he lost was not only his schoolbag, but also the opportunity to go to school.

I can't even afford to eat, so I have nothing to take to school.

Xu Kongshan didn't blame Sun Dahua for making him hungry. He was not the only one who was hungry during the Great Famine of [-]. Sun Dahua and Xu Youcai couldn't eat. Sun Dahua had no milk, and Xu Laiqian was so hungry that he cried.

There were news of people starving to death in the village one after another, and there were also people who sold their sons and daughters. Sun Dahua raised him and did not sell him. This kindness is rare.

So even though Sun Dahua treated him more and more later, Xu Kongshan accepted it silently. He always held the hope that if he worked harder, Sun Dahua would like him like before.

But this expectation gradually faded as he grew older and matured.

People's hearts are fleshy, so Xu Kongshan can no longer treat Sun Dahua and others with the sincerity of eight years old.

He learned to love himself.

The work of the family is in the hands of Sun Dahua, and Xu Kongshan cannot control the food distributed every year. In order to improve living conditions, Xu Kongshan began to go to the mountains to cut firewood.

Sun Dahua asked others how much a load of firewood sold for, but Xu Kongshan's bundle of firewood was larger and of better quality than others, and he could sell half more than the market price.

Xu Kongshan didn't tell her about this, every time the firewood was sold, he gave it at the market price, and the rest was quietly hidden in the cracks in the wall beside the pillars.

Besides firewood, Xu Kongshan also sells the pheasants and hares he caught, which are rare meat nowadays. Although the pheasants and hares have many bones, he doesn't need a ticket, so he sells them at the same price as pork.

Sun Dahua also didn't know about this money. Every time Xu Kongshan saved too much money, he would exchange it with others for a big unity. From now on, the money he has saved adds up to nearly three hundred.

What is the concept of 300 yuan? Nowadays, rice is 30 cents per catty, and pork is more than [-] cents per catty. The villagers only get [-] to [-] yuan when they are busy all year round.

To use another analogy, if Xu Kongshan told the outside world that he had 300 yuan in his hand, he would immediately be able to talk about his wife.

But he can't publicize it to the outside world, or even spend it on the bright side.

Sun Dahua was also counting on him to take more money from the family, and if she knew about the 300 yuan, she would try her best to snatch it from Xu Kongshan.

With the current situation of the Xu family, it is unrealistic for Xu Kongshan to want to separate the family and live alone. He is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to escape smoothly without leaving any future troubles.

Others are not rough-hearted, and they have endured it for so many years, so it won't be a while.

Xu Kongshan looked away from the place where the money was hidden, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The thick quilt kept the cold air out, and Chen Wan was reluctant to get up because of the warmth in the quilt.Chen Yongyang's third sibling had been in school for a while before he slowly put on warm clothes under the quilt and got out of bed.

The yard was quiet, Zhou Mei and Chen Qianjin were not there, Chen Wan lifted the lid of the pot, and there were two steamed buns and a bowl of steamed eggs inside.Before Zhou Mei left, she added firewood to the stove, and the steamed buns were still hot.Chen Wan put the steamed buns into a bowl, and the steamed eggs were served out with a handkerchief.

Zhou Mei is a pure southerner, and her skill in making pasta is average. The steamed buns are dead noodles, not risen, and they are heavy in the hand, with a solid and chewy texture.

Chen Wan chewed until her cheeks became sour. She switched from left to right, ground it finely with her teeth, and then swallowed a spoonful of steamed eggs together.

The aroma of wheat and eggs spread in the mouth, a steamed bun and a bowl of steamed eggs were enough to fill Chen Wan's stomach.He wrapped the remaining steamed buns in oiled paper and put them in his pocket, locked the door and went to Liu Qiang to inquire about Xu Kongshan's movements.

"Xu Kongshan, I saw him go out with a hoe in the morning. He probably went to his private plot." Liu Qiang pointed Chen Wan in the direction, "Do you need something from him?"

"It's nothing, I asked him to bring me two gardenia trees next time I went into the mountain last night, but I forgot to ask when the next time is."

Chen Wan is so smart, he has to divide the questions that can be asked in one time into two, so that he can make excuses for Xu Kongshan one more time.

The private plot of the Xu family was dug by Xu Kongshan while he was free, and the location was a bit remote. Chen Wan walked for a long time before seeing him squatting in the field and digging weeds.

"Brother Shan." Chen Wan called out, Xu Kongshan turned his head, threw the grass in his hand and stood up: "Why are you here?"

It rained last night, the ground was muddy and slippery, Chen Wan walked carefully, Xu Kongshan was afraid that he would fall, so he stretched out his arm for him to support.His hands were dirty and it was inconvenient to touch Chen Wan.

Chen Wan's soles were covered with a thick layer of mud, which was as heavy as a shot put. He grabbed Xu Kongshan's arm to stand firm, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"It rained last night, so don't go into the mountains anytime soon." The roads in the village are so difficult to walk, and the situation on the mountains must be even worse.

"I know." Xu Kongshan noticed the soles of Chen Wan's shoes, "Put your feet up, and I'll scrape the mud for you."

Chen Wan raised his foot and shifted his center of gravity, Xu Kongshan bent over to deal with the mud on the sole of his shoe, and he put his hand on Xu Kongshan's arm onto his broad shoulder.

Xu Kongshan's hairy head appeared under Chen Wan's vision, with dead grass on it, and Chen Wan helped him pick it up with his fingers.The strands of hair rubbed against his fingertips, and it turned out that even Xu Kongshan's hair was as thick and hard as everyone else's.

There is quite a lot of hair volume, and there should be no worries about hair loss in the future.

Chen Wan's action of grasping the grass seemed to make Xu Kongshan a little itchy, he shook his head: "Liu'er, change your foot."

Xu Kongshan quickly scraped off the mud with the tip of a hoe, and then asked him to step on the grass and not stand where there was mud.

"Brother Shan, do you eat steamed buns?" Chen Wan took out the steamed buns in his pocket, "Sister-in-law made them."

The smell of steamed buns floated into Xu Kongshan's nose through the oil paper, and he swallowed: "Don't eat it, you can eat it."

Liar, Chen Wan clearly saw his Adam's apple rolling.

"I've eaten it." Chen Wan moved the steamed bun closer, "This is for you. If you don't eat it, then I'm ashamed to accept your flowers."

"Wild flowers don't cost money." Xu Kongshan continued to swallow. In the morning, Sun Dahua accompanied Xu Laiqian to school, and breakfast was made from last night's leftovers. Xu Kongshan was not full, and the steamed buns in Chen Wan's hand were disgusting to him. Full of great allure.

"The steamed buns you make yourself don't cost any money," Chen Wan said, finally convincing Xu Kongshan.

The steamed buns were solid, and he didn't bring any water, so Chen Wan worriedly reminded Xu Kongshan to eat slowly, it tastes better when he eats slowly.

He kept chanting, Xu Kongshan reluctantly narrowed the curvature of his mouth, changed the mantou that could be eaten in three mouthfuls into six mouthfuls, and chewed each mouthful for a few seconds longer.

Well, at least there is progress.

Chen Wan's goal of delivering steamed buns was achieved, worried that Zhou Mei and the others would find someone at home, so she waved goodbye to Xu Kongshan: "Brother Shan, keep busy, I'll go back first."

"Go back on the grass, slow down and don't fall." Xu Kongshan told him behind his back, and waited for Chen Wan to disappear before continuing with the work at hand.

On the way back, she had more experience than when she came here. The soles of Chen Wan's shoes were much cleaner, the door was still locked, and Zhou Mei and the others hadn't come back yet.

Chen Wan went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then changed into slippers, took off the things on the desk and spread out the cotton cloth, ready to start making Xu Kongshan's clothes.

He used a self-made measuring ruler to measure the length on the cotton cloth, and made marks with a sharpened pencil from time to time.Although the design of this dress is simple, it is not difficult to make.

Zhou Mei bought a little more cloth than Chen Wan's figure, but Xu Kongshan and Chen Wan's are not in the same order of magnitude at all. Under normal conditions, his materials are [-] times that of Chen Wan.

Chen Wan had never used fabrics so frivolously, and never wasted a single bit of it, so it was still not enough.

"It's nothing, why are you so tall!" Chen Wan threw the ruler on the table with a headache. He didn't allow himself to make clothes that didn't fit him. After racking his brains for a long time, he turned over all the rags in Zhou Mei's sewing basket. out.

The rags are of different colors and sizes, so it won’t work if you just sew them on, but they have to look good.Chen Wan's design draft changed from version to version, and it was not until Xu Kongshan dug the gardenia back for him that the final plan was made.
