Chapter 4 Suppressed

Chen Li was so frightened that she shook her head at him, "Don't go. If you go to the creek, you will not only have to work, but you will also get scolded. It's not worth it..."

Shen Yu was startled, then lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

The youngest, Shen Mingxue, was nicknamed Yaya because of her poor health. She felt that the third sister was reluctant to eat, so she said this because the third sister had done this before, saving half of her portion for She saved it for when she was hungry.

Yaya handed over half of the steamed bun in her hand, "Third Sister, eat from me, I'm not hungry..."

Before he finished speaking, his shriveled belly grumbled a few times uncooperatively.

Shen Mingxi touched her little sister's head, with a warm smile in her eyes. Yaya was only six years old, but she was the most sensible. She was thin, small and had a big head, a bit like what her father read to her. The little carrot head in the text.

Shen Qingshan ate quickly. A bowl of rice water and a steamed bun were gone long ago. He looked at Shen Mingxi sheepishly, scratched his head, and said naively, "Xiaoxi, when I have time in the afternoon, my second brother will go to you." Catch grasshoppers and grasshoppers, roast them and eat them deliciously..."

Shen Mingxi stood up and stared at everything in front of him.

The mud and thatched house was in disrepair and was dusty. The family members wore patched clothes and trousers, which were unwanted by the second uncle and third uncle's family...

Their faces are sallow and their bodies are thin, and they work non-stop from morning to night.

But their eyes are very bright, and they have a suppressed spirit that desperately wants to fight against fate.

Like the weeds pressed down by the stone slabs.

Life is difficult, but never give up hope!

"...My throat is indeed uncomfortable. It may have something to do with the fever. But my illness is better. Don't worry. I'm going to drink some water. Dad, we will go to work together in a while."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, Shen Mingxi quickly left the dilapidated and crowded mud and thatched house.

Her heart felt extremely uncomfortable, but she had no time to think. The pig food in the kitchen was almost warm, and she had to feed the pigs.

If she doesn't go, my mother will go too.

Shen Mingxi works quickly and always makes the best use of the time he has.

After a while, she washed the big pot, cleaned the kitchen, and poured the pig food into the pig trough.

The two pigs were received from the brigade at the beginning of the year. One was turned in for repayment, and the other was kept for himself to eat.

Mrs. Shen was very strict and wanted to feed fat pigs weighing more than a hundred pounds. Therefore, when the wild vegetables first sprouted, she drove her younger brothers Goudan and Yaya to cut pig grass and dig wild vegetables.

The pigsty is just south of the woodshed where they live. In order to make it easier, Shen Mingxi and his eldest and second brothers clean it almost every day, so the smell is not great.

Perhaps due to the careful care, the two pigs grew very well.

Looking at the pigs lowering their heads to eat, long-standing memories suddenly became clear.

She remembered that at the end of this year, both pigs weighed more than 150 kilograms. One of them was turned in and received praise from the captain because the pigs raised by the Shen family were the biggest and fattest.

Mrs. Shen was very happy and always praised Shen Baozhi for being lucky, big-hearted, good-hearted and capable. With her around, the family's life would get better and better.

At that time, people in the village thought that the pigs were fed by Shen Baozhi.

But she obviously didn't do anything.

But she and her family only drank the broth on the day when the pig was slaughtered, and they didn't even eat a few pieces of meat.

The remaining meat was made into bacon by Mrs. Shen and put away.

He said it was reserved for Shen Baozhi and his filial second and third sons.

In short, they have no share. Shen Mingxi frowned, her eyes filled with coldness.

She must take her family and leave this disgusting Shen family as soon as possible.

And if you want to leave, you have to separate!

At this time, the second uncle Shen Hai walked out of the main house, wearing an 80% new half-sleeved shirt and trousers. He was the only one in the family who ate commercial food.

He works in a supply and marketing cooperative.

Earn a monthly salary.

His job was given to him by his father. Mrs. Shen said that the second son was not in good health and could not farm, so she asked Shen Yu to hand over the job.

But Shen Yu obeyed and went home to farm.

Shen Mingxi stared at the second uncle, and when he got closer, the second uncle even burped. As if he didn't see Shen Mingxi, he went to work without hesitation.

There was a noise from the woodshed. Shen Mingxi turned around and saw that it was his second brother Shen Qingshan.

He and his eldest brother are twins, they look about ten minutes apart. Their eyebrows are similar, but their expressions are different. The second brother looks tougher.

He took a piece of straw rope and tied it around his waist. He tied a slip knot hard and showed a big smile to Shen Mingxi. "Xiaoxi, tie it tighter and you won't be hungry. It really works..."

Shen Mingxi stared at her second brother in confusion, unaware that her hands were trembling.

"...Second brother." She didn't know what to say next.

Shen Mingxi covered her eyes with hatred, suppressed her crazy thoughts of destroying everything, and quietly followed her father and brother to the brigade headquarters to gather.

Today it is still a collective system. We work together and share the food together. The same goes for farm tools. There are dedicated people at the brigade headquarters to record work points and distribute farm tools.

Shen Mingxi received the sickle, and she wanted to cut wheat with everyone.

The weather station in the county came to inform that there may be a storm in the next week. Therefore, the winter wheat in the backing village must be rushed into the warehouse before the heavy rain comes, because this is the crop they have worked hard to plant and the ration to survive.

Sixteen-year-old Shen Mingxi was a good worker. She walked with a heavy step toward the endless golden wheat fields.

Behind her is Aunt Zhang in the front yard, who also has to go to work, but she is older and has been assigned to work in the threshing floor by the brigade captain.

She followed quickly and asked with concern, "Xiaoxi, are you feeling better?"

Shen Mingxi was silent for a moment, and the feeling of suppressed sinisterness had faded a lot. She smiled at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."

Although the little girl is thin, she is good-looking. Her eyes are like a puddle of water. She makes you feel soft at the sight. She grins and says, "Xiaoxi, although you haven't studied, I think you are educated. Your grandma is so biased." Damn it, it doesn’t hurt to let such a good child go, she will regret it in the future.”

Shen Mingxi didn't answer, and curled up her lips, "Aunt Zhang, I'm going to work. The sun is too hot today. Please slow down and don't walk too fast..."

"Hey, good boy, go quickly." Aunt Zhang said with a cheerful smile.

Shen Mingxi speeded up and quickly caught up with the Shen family in front.

Aunt Zhang, on the other hand, obeyed and slowed down, and kept sighing with regret. This child is good-looking and a good worker. He is also sensible and filial, and he has reached the age of marriage. She knows that there are many people in the village. People fell in love with her, but no one dared to propose marriage.
