1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

She was lucky to have such a good time. In 1955 or 1956, Shandong Province had just opened a mechanical college. She was one of the first students and after graduation she was assigned to work in a machinery factory in Changde.

Just as Du Yimeng was daydreaming, they arrived at the third row of the family compound, the Du family.

"Sister, you're back. I missed you so much. Mom, Dad and sister are back..." A shirtless young boy in shorts was sitting at the door. When he saw Du Weihai and Du Yimeng, he suddenly stood up and shouted into the house.

When Du Yimeng saw Du Yibei, the fifth son of the Du family, say this, a faint smile appeared on her face involuntarily. He was sitting at the door waiting for her in the hot weather. It seemed that he really missed her.

This brat still has some conscience, it's worth it that I love him so much.

The last time she came back was during winter vacation. Lao Wu seemed to have grown a little taller, but he looked thinner.

Speaking of names, Du Yimeng was very glad that she was the eldest. Her younger brothers were named East, South, West, and North respectively. If she were the fifth, she would not be called Du Yimeng, but Du Yizhong. It was scary to think about it.

The next move by Lao Wu froze her smile on her face, and the outstretched hand of Akang was also messed up in the wind.

"Mom... hurry up and make the dumplings..." The fifth brother Du Yibei shouted while running. As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed back into the house.

Du Yimeng: ...

He thought he was waiting for her, but it turned out that the clown was herself. Is this what he called wanting?

Sure enough, that saying was right, it’s better to beat your brother as early as possible.

"You little brat, don't you know to help your sister get something?" Du Weihai cursed with a cold face.

If someone asked him who his favorite child was, it would of course be his daughter.

Not only is his daughter his first child, but more importantly, she is sensible and filial, has good academic performance, and brings him honor.

Ever since his daughter was admitted to technical secondary school, he has been the most handsome guy in the entire machinery factory and the envy of everyone.

When someone said that he should love his son, he scoffed. The last thing he lacked was his son. What was there to love about him?

When Du Yimeng heard her father's words, her heart, which had been hurt so much by Lao Wu, felt a little warmer. In fact, she only had two small bags in her hands, and her father carried all the other things.

"sister……"

"sister……"

Two more people rushed out of the house. They were the third brother Du Yinan and the fourth brother Du Yixi.

The third brother was a bit introverted. When he saw Du Yimeng taking the things from her hands, the fourth brother became a bit jumpy and kept circling around her. The two brothers both ignored their father who was walking in front.

Instead of being angry, Du Weihai nodded with satisfaction.

The Du family had only three rooms, one of which was divided into two smaller rooms, where the four Du brothers lived. Du's father and mother lived in one room, and the other was a combination of the living room and dining room.

The room where Du's father and mother lived was also divided into two small rooms, and the other small room was Du Yimeng's room.

As for the kitchen, a small house was built outside with wooden boards to serve as the kitchen, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in the house in the summer.

"Sister is finally back. If she hadn't come back, the threshold of our house would have been trampled down by the fifth brother." The fourth brother joked.

"Fourth brother, didn't you go out and take a look twice?" The fifth brother was not happy and retorted immediately.

As a result, the fourth brother just glared at him, and he immediately became timid again. The fifth brother's personality is the kind that is naughty, likes to talk, and is very timid.

It’s no wonder he’s timid. After all, he has three older brothers, any one of whom can beat him up.

"Okay, everyone, shut up. If anyone keeps nagging me, I won't let them have dinner tonight." Du's mother Wang Yanhong yelled, and everyone became quiet. Even Du Weihai trembled subconsciously.

"Da Meng, are you hot? You must be tired. Mom made some dumplings for you and you can eat them soon." Du's mother, who had a ferocious face just now, immediately changed her face in the next second. She could perform Sichuan Opera face-changing without any props.

No one was surprised. Mother Du yelled at everyone she met, but when it came to Du Yimeng, she remembered that she was a kind mother.

"Meat-filled..." Lao Wu muttered softly. His family hadn't seen meat for two or three months. His mother bought half a pound of meat early in the morning.

He usually loves to play with his friends, but today he especially likes to make matchboxes.

"Mom, I'm not tired. Where's Xiaodong?" Du Yimeng looked around and found that the second child Du Yidong was not there.

"Sister, my second brother is now an apprentice in a machinery factory and hasn't finished get off work yet." Du's mother was about to speak when the conversation was interrupted by the fifth brother.

"When did it happen?" Du Yimeng asked. Xiaodong did not mention this matter when he wrote to her last time.

Du Yidonggang is eighteen years old this year. He failed to get into high school and has graduated from junior high school for a year. He has no job and can only do odd jobs outside.

He worked tirelessly, earning only ten yuan a month at most. Fortunately, the forced relocation of educated youth to the countryside took place in 1966, otherwise Du Yidong would have been unlucky.

The Du family had siblings every two years, which meant that their mother had been busy for more than ten years. As the saying goes, a pack of sanitary napkins can be used for more than ten years and still not be used up.

"More than a month ago, our family lost all its money because of my second brother's job. We used to be able to eat three steamed buns for one meal, but now we can only eat two. Mom... why did you hit me?" Du's mother was about to speak, but was interrupted by the fifth brother again.

Du's mother was so angry that she kicked him. Why is this brat so rude?

All her words have been taken away from her, what did she say?

Lao Wu's face was full of grievance. Every day, he would feel hungry right after he finished his meal and before he even left the family compound. He wanted to take a bite of everything he saw. Why wasn't he allowed to speak up?

The family chatted and joked, and after the dumplings were cooked, Du Yidonggang just got off work.

"Sister..." The tall and thin young man showed a silly smile on his face when he saw Du Yimeng. Don't think that Du Yidong is a simple and honest person, quite the opposite.

He appears to be simple and honest, but he is actually quite cunning. Otherwise, how could he, a teenager working as a temporary worker, compete with other adults?

His sister is finally back. He doesn't know if his mother is in menopause now, but she scolds everyone she sees and is only gentle to his sister.

Du's mother: Now that the food rations have been reduced, she's responsible for the family's food, clothing, and shelter. The problem is that food prices have gone up, and she's worried...

The family gathered around the table, happily eating dumplings. Du Yimeng picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. Even though there was some cornmeal mixed in the flour, it still tasted better than the noodles in later generations.

Suddenly, she felt a fiery gaze falling on her, or to be exact, on the bowl in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was Lao Wu.

Her gaze moved down to Lao Wu's bowl. The large bowl of dumplings was empty. She only ate two dumplings in the bowl, but he finished them all.

When Du's mother served the dumplings, she always counted them, twenty per person, no more.

Her eyes fell on the bowls of the third and fourth brothers, and she saw that they had finished eating, except for the second brother Du Yidong, who still had two pieces left in his bowl.
