80s Taoism

The first grade exam was actually not difficult for Zhang Jiaohua. The old man can remember the incantation, but Zhang Jiaohua can't remember "spring sleep without awakening"? Zhang Jiaohua can calculate the horoscope of birth and birthday, but can he not calculate that one plus one equals two? There are two final exams. Which one of Chinese and mathematics can be difficult for him?

The mute told Zhang Jiaohua excitedly along the way that he had been reciting texts and doing math homework these days.

Zhang Jiaohua looked at the sky, the sky was gray and the sun was gone. The temperature is very low, and when everyone speaks, there is white smoke in front of them.

"It's going to snow." Zhang Jiaohua was still looking forward to the snow.

"Huh? It's going to snow. That's great." The mute was also very excited. He didn't question Zhang Jiaohua's paintings, he believed Zhang Jiaohua's words unconditionally.

The children are looking forward to the snow, but the adults are very worried.

"Recently, I've been hearing wolves making trouble on Meishan Mountain at night. I feel uneasy." Zhang Jiwang, who came out for a stroll early in the morning, said to Zhang Dechun who met on the road.

"That's right. It's going to snow soon. When the snow covers the mountains, these big blue wolves will be hungry. Maybe they will come to the village." As the village party secretary of Meizi'ao, Zhang Dechun felt the pressure on his shoulders increase a lot.

"Dechun, your village cadres have to find a way. I remember that in the past six or so years, before winter, the brigade organized a militia team to patrol everywhere during the day. Now that there are big blue wolves coming, your village cadres have to find a way. Should you also organize a militia team?" Zhang Jiwang thought for a while and asked.

"In the past, the militiamen had work points for patrolling. Now that the land is divided into households, who would do it for nothing? There is no way to get money in the village. Now, if you go to call the militia, who will come? It's freezing cold, and who doesn't want to stay in the warm bed with the wife?" Zhang Dechun shook his head with a wry smile.

Now it is not as good as before, and the power of his village party secretary is not as good as it was back then. In Meizi'ao before, he was a spittle and a nail. Now his words don't work so well.

Zhang Jiwang is also an old man, how could he fail to see the changes in the situation? But he still asked unwillingly: "Don't you guys ignore it? If something happens, can you, the village secretary, feel at ease?"

"I didn't say anything and I didn't do anything. Anyway, I strengthened publicity and mobilized the villagers to organize and join patrols. Of course, the most important thing is to raise awareness of prevention." Zhang Dechun had no choice but to deal with Zhang Jiwang with that set of words.

Zhang Jiwang was so angry that his beard turned up, he snorted and left.

"Is it easy for me?" Zhang Dechun said bitterly, and threw away the butt of the Wild Camellia cigarette in his hand. He strode towards the village.

The last leaf of Zhangjiaohua's peach tree in Meizitang fell off in the cold wind, rolled in the air for a while, and plunged into the ditch under the eaves.

Liu Qiaoye was sitting in the fire cabinet, sewing clothes. There was a pile of clothes on the wooden shelf of the fire cabinet.

Liu Qiaoye and the man have already decided to go to Guangdong to work with Zhang Shicai's mother-in-law Luo Ximei's natal brother on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. This time, I will not return until at least next winter. Liu Qiaoye plans to take advantage of his free time to prepare Zai Zai's clothes for the next year. Zai Zai is now constantly jumping up. None of last year's clothes are wearable anymore. Liu Qiaoye went to the town and pulled some cloth and came back, planning to make some clothes for Zai Zai. In addition, I am going to change some of the men's clothes a little bit for Zai Zai to wear. I heard that the weather in Guangdong is very warm all year round. When they pass, they are not prepared to bring too many clothes. But Zai Zai's clothes must be ready.

Liu Qiaoye thought that Zai Zai would live alone in the next year, so she couldn't help but stop, Zai Zai was still a seven-year-old child. You may soon face a person living independently. But why not go out? More and more people in the village earned a lot of money from Guangdong, and within a year or two, new houses were built at home. Although my house has not been built for many years, the situation has changed too fast in the past few years. This wooden loft is outdated. Now the trend is brick and tile western-style buildings. The brick building is solid and has a grand appearance. When walking upstairs, there will be no ping-pong-pong noise. The sound insulation of the room is also better. The couple didn't have to wait until Zai Zai fell asleep to do that. Thinking of this, Liu Qiaoye couldn't help blushing.

Zhang Youping came back from the outside, but he looked like an old man with white hair.

"Is it snowing outside?" Liu Qiaoye looked at the snowflakes on the man's head, and quickly stood up from the fire cabinet. Get ready to get a dry towel for the man.

"Forget it, don't come out. It's just a little bit of snow. In fact, you don't need to prepare so many clothes for Zai Zai. At that time, we will receive our wages and send them back, so that Dad can go to the town to buy ready-made clothes for Zai Zai. Maybe when the time comes, Zai Zai will grow up again, and these clothes may not be suitable for him." Zhang Youping went to get a dry towel by himself, and wiped off the snowflakes on his body.

"Just now I was worried about Zai Zai. We have been away for at least a year. Zai Zai was alone at home. We didn't know whether he was warmly dressed or had enough to eat. Zai Zai refused to spend time with his parents. How can I feel at ease when you say this." Liu Qiaoye said here, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"It's here again. Didn't I tell you? Even if Zai Zai doesn't go to live with parents and the others, might they not care about Zai Zai at all? Mother told me that she will come over every day to see and cook for Zai Zai. She will never let Zai Zai go hungry or freeze." Zhang Youping looked at his mother-in-law with a wry smile.

Zhang Youping and his wife are not the only ones preparing to go south. People in the village are afraid of being poor. When they hear that Guangdong can make a lot of money, the young people in the whole village are thinking about going to Guangdong. It's just that the people in the mountains have never been out, and some of them can't even speak official Chinese well, and they don't know many words. When I went out, I couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the north. Without someone to take it with me, I really dare not venture out rashly.

Zhang Qigao and his wife originally planned to go to Guangdong to work after the new year. But when eating, Zhang Qigao's wife Xie Chun'e suddenly got up and rushed to the back of the house, vomiting non-stop. As someone who has been there, Chen Meijuan can tell at a glance that her daughter-in-law has it.

For the Zhang Qigao family, the succession of the family line is the core problem that the old Zhang family needs to solve most at present.

"It doesn't matter if you go to Guangdong a year later. Having a grandson is the most important thing." Chen Meijuan directly rejected Zhang Qigao and his wife's dream of going south.

"Chun'e is at home, anyway, you are taking care of me. I have to go out to work. Otherwise, I won't even get the money to buy a new suit of clothes for my son in the future (no: no)." Zhang Qigao's determination to go south is still very firm.
