Chapter 31

So it is said that people are unlucky, and they will get stuffed between their teeth when they drink cold water.

The results of the autumn harvest really made every household in the village anxious. Those who were lucky could still make up the amount they handed in. Most of them didn't even collect enough to pay taxes, let alone support a large family.

Li Dahua's stomach has been nine months old, and it is so big that the midwife in the village has already touched it, and it is a double stick. At this time, it is not good news - there are two mouths at home!

Liu Datie was going out to work, and Li Dahua was getting older, so he was really worried, so he went to take Li Dahua's old lady here to live for a while.

"...The harvest in the field this year is poor, and they all stare at the ones in your old lady's pocket like black corns..."

"They can still go against the sky, mother, take care of your money bag, don't let them coax you..."

"...Your old lady is a double-faced person. After all, you are a person who has a daughter-in-law. I'm afraid I still feel that we two old people are biased here and there..."

Jiao Gousheng said that these old people just can't think about it, and they are not waiting for big families who are afraid of breaking up the family property. The daughter-in-law and children are crowded together, and there will naturally be conflicts and disputes when there are too many people, not to mention that the old couple still hold the family's money in their own hands-whoever doesn't have the money in their own hands can feel at ease!

"Mother, don't think about it too much, after all it crawled out of your stomach... By the way, what happened to the third family's stomach?"

When Li Dahua went back to her natal home in spring, she realized that her younger brother and daughter-in-law had just been pregnant for more than a month, and it finally made Mrs. Li let go of a big worry!

"Please, Mrs. Wu, I touched it. Everyone in the village also looked at the sharp ones. It must be a son..."

……

Liu Datie was kicked out to sleep with the dog left outside, and the mother and daughter slept with grass and eggs in the inner room. The two women almost talked about it in detail when it was dawn, and Mrs. Li couldn't hold it anymore before going to sleep. for a while.

In the morning, when Gousheng and Liu Datie left, they didn't ask Li Dahua to get up at all. Gousheng cooked some vegetable porridge and asked the mountain officials to eat something together.

Shanguan has been away for more than half a month. A little girl called Huaya lives alone with nine little dolls. No one can feel relieved. As usual, she brings the two little guys here and puts them outside with Dacao. Sleep with the stigma.

Liu Datie went into the room, spoke to Mrs. Li and Li Dahua, and set off.

Because the dog fell and broke his leg last night, Li Dahua specially cleaned it up this time, and asked Liu Datie to pull the cart, put hay on it, and brought a raincoat and an old mattress.

In the dark, there was a sound of wheels getting farther and farther away...

"You go and sit in the car, and come down when you go up the mountain." The mountain official said while holding the frame of the car.

"Go up!"

Just as Gou Sheng was about to speak, Liu Datie put down the handlebar and said.

In fact, the leftover dog's leg has healed up long ago, but he still involuntarily avoids exerting force on his left foot when walking. Originally, there was only a slight lameness, but it became obvious when he walked like this.

Darong said it a few times, and Gou Sheng understood it in his heart, but he couldn't change it for a while, and there were many people in the village who regretted that a good boy was so disabled...

Gou Sheng hesitated, pushed the back basket to the side, and climbed up.

It is a poor family, and it is only a six-year-old child. It is hard work to walk the mountain road for a few days. It is natural to be willing to have a car for a while...

"Here, I'll wait for you guys to come. After finishing this season, Brother Chen will find another job. I'm afraid you won't be able to do this job in the future!"

When I arrived at Brother Chen's house that night, I got such bad news.

"What, what's going on here?" Liu Datie's face turned pale.

"There are capable people who pushed down the entire North Wharf. In fact, it's not a bad thing for the coolies in the city..." Chen Ge said while "ding ding bang bang" binding a piece of wood.

The Su family opened up the relationship between the upper and lower levels, subdued all the existing coolie leaders on the pier, and brought all the men who relied on carrying on the pier for a living into his family, and unified organization and deployment were indeed not good for the porters in Jiaxing City. It's a bad thing, at least there are fewer things like bullying and embezzlement, and there is no more fighting for business, but for Liu Datie, it is undoubtedly cutting off the biggest income of the family.

"... Now I am also a person who takes care of my family. It is not a solution to keep doing this. I will not starve to death when I am old..."

What Brother Chen meant was that he had some power in his hands. He had an old friend in the government office. The old government servants should retire for a while, and he planned to ask Brother Chen to step up. Cao Ren tidied up his yard and faced him in the wing room. At the intersection, a half-open shed was built, intending to sell some food...

There was a rare look of envy on the face of the mountain official who had hardly changed all year round.

Gou Sheng saw that Liu Datie's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his body was shaking slightly back and forth, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Datie, "Father! Father, it doesn't matter, we didn't go to the city to ask for a living a few years ago, life is still the same Come over!"

Liu Datie recovered his composure, and then forced a smile--that's true, but these few years, if the eldest son hadn't been digging food in the wild and taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, how could the younger ones in the family be together? It grows so big!

The idea of ​​spending a few days to come to Jiaxing City after Gousheng and Shanguan went to sell the small baskets was completely gone. In other words, the people in the city are smarter than those in the village, but after selling them a few times, they are already gone. Some people have taken a fancy to this small business, figured out how to make small frames, and turned over patterns, not only wicker, but also reed leaves, thatch... There are even those who are willing to weave colorful ones with silk rope The basket is more beautiful than the one planted with real flowers, delicate and not dirty, and not easy to break...

When they went back, the faces of the three of them were not very good, and they had nothing to say along the way.

Gou Sheng rubbed his hungry stomach, just after two greasy years, he had to start working hard again - no matter how many things were in his mind, he couldn't make money and food out of thin air!

"Chi-chi-chi-"

"Father, Shanguan, stop!" Gou Sheng yelled excitedly, patting the bottom of the scooter.

"What's wrong? Leg hurts?" Shanguan habitually looked up at the sky, thinking that the sky was about to change.

The bone was injured, and the head was hurt for more than a year. Whenever the weather changes, it will hurt, and the wound will get better after a long time.

The dog jumped out of the car quickly, and quickly glanced around.

A middle-aged man was carrying a carrying basket with a sad face, and the voice came from there.

"Uncle! Uncle, is there a rabbit in here?" Gou Sheng chased after him and asked.

"No!" The man nodded.

"Can I have a look? How many are there?" Seeing that the man didn't respond much, Gou Sheng added, "My dad wants to buy rabbits!"
