Dashan Makes a Living 1984

This is the custom here. The wife calls her husband the shopkeeper, which symbolizes the dominant position of the man at home.

"It's been a while." Wang Tianxiao touched his wife's forehead, and the fever subsided a lot.

His wife, Li Yali, has a typical round face, with full cheeks that look like two apples. Her eyes are big and bright, and because of her kind heart, her eyes are always soft, like a clear spring that makes people peaceful.

At this time, she still had long black hair, twisted into braids, as thick as a child's arm, and reaching to her waist. Every time after washing, the hair is scattered on the pillow, which can cover the whole pillow.

Later, because of the difficult life, she sold the braids to the children to pay the tuition fees, and changed it to a haircut.

Thinking of the old and haggard face of his wife in the previous life, Wang Tianxiao felt distressed for a while, and gently stroked his wife's beautiful hair, helping her comb it neatly.

The efficacy of the medicine in this era is good, just half a tablet is already very effective, unlike the later generations who take a few pills and take half a month as if they didn't take it.

"You haven't eaten, I'll get you something to eat..."

Li Yali struggled to get up, Wang Tianxiao hurriedly held her down, "What are you doing, your body is still moving around like this, besides, I'm not hungry, just lie down."

"How can I do it... You must not have eaten in the afternoon, your stomach is not good..."

"It's really fine, I'll make it myself if I'm hungry."

Wang Tianxiao said sincerely that even if he wanted to eat, he couldn't get anything to eat. He looked at it just now, and the house was empty, except for half a bowl of cornmeal, there was nothing else.

This is also impossible.

He only needs thirty-six yuan and fifty cents a month, and it is really hard to feed a family of three.

If some are deducted, it becomes less.

At home, the wife mainly relies on her mother-in-law's family for support.

As for my brothers here...

He smiled lightly, except for the fifth child, there really is no one with a conscience.

Wang Tianxiao's parents had six sons and three daughters.

The sons are loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and integrity, and the daughter is Mei Lanzhu.

Originally, I thought that the children could maintain the traditional virtues, support each other, develop and grow the Wang family, and live a prosperous life.

It's a pity that the sons can't explain it in detail.

Not to mention helping each other, if you don't fall into trouble and use a knife secretly, you are already considered Amitabha.

If there are few brothers, they are brothers. If there are too many, interests will inevitably be involved, and they will form cliques. Everyone has their own positions, but it just depends on how much they have gone too far.

"Well, if you're really hungry, don't hold on," Li Yali put her face on her husband's heart, and said softly, "You are the pillar of our family, the sky of Fangwa and me, you can't collapse. "

Wang Tianxiao remembered that his wife in his previous life often said this to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it before, and was even a little proud and satisfied.

After being reborn, he has gone through vicissitudes of life and understands that the family does not pay less to his wife than himself, and that the gentle and virtuous she has to bear his anger due to the hardship and incompetence of life.

She is a very good woman.

I am ashamed of her.

"Everything you say, even if you don't watch TV, women hold up half the sky."

"What is TV?" asked the wife curiously.

Wang Tianxiao realized that there is no electricity at home now, let alone a TV. He reacted a little supernaturally.

"It's an electrical appliance. I'll buy it for you when I have money."

"Okay." Li Yali still didn't understand, but she felt that her husband must have said something good. Her husband is a person who eats at the public house, and he is well-informed, unlike herself who doesn't understand anything.

Wang Tianxiao was chatting with his wife, worrying about his wife's stomach all the time.

In the early morning of the previous life, his wife gave birth prematurely due to the too cold weather, and his son Wang Peng was invited to this world in advance because he still had half a month to go into labor.

As a result, Wang Peng's health has been poor.

Fortunately, the gears of time did not turn on the original track.

This night, because of the presence of her husband, the wife, who was born prematurely at three o'clock in the morning, slept soundly and spent it peacefully.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark.

Wang Tianxiao got up early, quietly came to the flat ground, hid behind the neighbor's corn stalks, and looked at his own chimney.

This is the architectural style of the pit yard.

People live below, and the chimney will directly lead to the flat ground and be built with adobe (foundation) or bricks.

Because the terrain is high, the draft effect is very good. Once there is a problem with the chimney, the kang and pot table below cannot be used at all.

If the smoke cannot go out, not only the smoke makes it impossible for people to live, but more importantly, the fire cannot be ignited, and life cannot be maintained normally.

Therefore, when people in the village quarrel, they often threaten each other that if they talk too much, they will fill up the chimney of your house. This kind of threat is no less than murder and arson, and it is a matter of conscience.

However.

On the morning of December 12, 1984, the chimney of Wang Tianxiao's house was filled.

Once the chimney is filled, it is necessary to use a special iron rod to smash the sundries into the kang barrel from above.

It’s okay if the filling is something that can be crushed, but if it can’t be crushed, you can only fiddle with it slowly. It is difficult to apply force at a depth of more than ten meters, and sometimes it takes several days to get it through.

There is no way to light a fire in the winter, and people can freeze to death at minus 20 degrees. In their previous lives, they had no choice. The family of four had to go to the child's grandmother's house and wait for someone to fix the chimney here before returning.

At that time, the wife gave birth in a hurry, and when she was bleeding heavily, she was already very weak, and she went to her mother's house in the wind and snow, leaving irreparable sequelae in her body.

At that time, I didn't know who could do such a wicked thing. It was not until many years later that I accidentally learned that it was none other than my third sister-in-law Yu Xiaofeng who blocked the chimney.

This woman is a typical femme fatale.

My natal family is a typical bandit den. Two older brothers and one younger brother were arrested for robbery and cable theft. My father also ran an underground gambling den and was dealt with during the crackdown.

After she married into the Wang family, she didn't stop for a moment, and kept encouraging the third child to do things inside and out.

The reason why the chimney was filled was because their daughter was growing up and it was inconvenient to live with her parents, so they discussed with the old lady that if the second child Wang Tianxiao's family could move out, they would give Wang Tianxiao's cave to their family.

With this promise, Yu Xiaofeng bullied Li Yali whenever he could.

For example, in winter, Li Yali deliberately splashed water at the entrance of Li Yali's cave, causing Li Yali to fall, and almost did not cause a miscarriage of the child. Three chicks were secretly thrown into the slop bucket and drowned...

In short, the big evils cannot be said, and the small evils emerge in endlessly.

There were more than a dozen people, large and small, living in the courtyard of the pit. She refused to admit it, and had no choice but to say it was her.

And she has been pretending to be a good person for a long time, Li Yali still doesn't know that she is the real devil, and treats these things as accidents.

The youngest king, Tianren, doesn't even have a taste of half-benevolence.

He always valued interests very much, and he was a strict wife, so he absolutely supported what his wife said. Even because of his wife's viciousness, his black heart was covered up a lot, and many things were pushed on his wife, choosing himself completely.

In his previous life, Wang Tianxiao attached great importance to brotherhood, and he really thought that brothers had their own difficulties. After a series of more unsightly things happened later, he discovered that these people were all wolves who ate people without spitting out their bones.

Brotherhood is nothing to them.

Not only did they treat Wang Tianxiao like this, but they also fought openly and secretly with each other, especially after gaining some benefits, they all showed ferocious faces.

In this life, I will never give in any more. Since brothers are ruthless, it doesn't matter if they don't become brothers.

His feet were numb from the cold, but Wang Tianxiao did not give up. Compared with the pain of more than 30 years in the previous life, this short wait is nothing.

The only thing he doesn't lack is patience.

At 5:36 in the morning, he finally heard the sound of the laneway gate, and someone had gone out.

On a snow-covered winter day, people usually wake up very late, and they have nothing to do when they get up anyway. They go out before dawn after five o'clock. Apart from doing bad things, they can't think of other reasons.

Sure enough, he soon saw that his third sister-in-law Yu Xiaofeng was wearing a big padded jacket without a smock, so he sneaked up to the cliff.

Slipping to the chimney behind, he pretended to look around again, and after confirming that there was no one there, he took out a bunch of things wrapped in plastic paper from his corn stack, ran to Wang Tianxiao's chimney, lifted the lid, and threw it down.

Wang Tianxiao didn't expect this woman to move so swiftly. He originally planned to stop her the moment she was about to throw her away and catch her.

"What are you doing!"

He yelled fiercely, ran over with big strides, and kicked Yu Xiaofeng on the back. Yu Xiaofeng was about to run away after doing bad things, but was kicked to eat shit.

Wang Tianxiao caught up and shouted loudly: "Yu Xiaofeng, what did you throw into my chimney just now?!"

Yu Xiaofeng never expected that Wang Tianxiao would be outside at this point, she panicked for a while and didn't know what to do, subconsciously retorted: "Second brother, what are you talking about, I don't know."

As he said that, he was about to get up and run away.

"Hmph, I don't know, are you going to tell a lie, then let's ask everyone to get up and see what's in the chimney." Wang Tianxiao held her arm tightly, not letting her leave.
