Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Wang Tianxiao came to the next door, kicked them away, walked to Yu Xiaofeng who was huddled in front of the pot, picked up the rag next to him, and swiped it back and forth twice.

The rag was wet, and Wang Tianxiao was so strong that it was visible to the naked eye, and Yu Xiaofeng's face immediately turned red and swollen.

"Ah! You...you dare to hit me!"

Yu Xiaofeng jumped up, pointed at Wang Tianxiao and was about to scold him, but seeing his vicious look, she was frightened and lost her confidence.

"Keep your mouth clean. If you hear shit and pee coming out of your mouth again, I will hit you once."

After speaking, he threw the rag on Yu Xiaofeng's face and turned to leave.

Back on the cliff again, Li Wanfu asked him to push the things back and unload them, and he had to go back.

"Uncle, go down and sit for a while."

"No, no, no," Li Wanfu shook his head timidly, "Go down and embarrass you and Lili..."

"You're my dad, what's the shame? If anyone wants to talk about you, see if I don't smack her mouth." Wang Tianxiao said happily.

Li Wanfu looked at his son-in-law in surprise, wondering why the child had suddenly changed his temper, he was not so tough before.

"Forget it, I came here secretly, they don't know at home..."

Wang Tianxiao sighed inwardly.

Every family has its cupboard.

There are also a lot of problems on the wife's side. The uncle and brother are mean and mean. If they know that the father-in-law gives food and firewood to the married daughter, they don't know what will happen.

According to the custom here, the girl who gets married is the water that is thrown out.

How can it be reversed!

The kind old man in front of him is his wife's father. He doesn't know where his parents are, so he loves his poor daughter wholeheartedly.

But he didn't even have a chance to enter his daughter's house.

If it's just the reason here, Wang Tianxiao can still handle it, but when it comes to the uncle, he has nothing to do for the time being.

I had no choice but to take the wheelbarrow in my hand and let my father-in-law wait.

The wheelbarrow was a bit difficult to steer. Wang Tianxiao hadn't pushed it for decades, so his skills were a little rusty. In addition, the weather was cold and slippery. When he pushed the wheelbarrow downhill in the kang courtyard, the wheelbarrow turned over and all the contents spilled out.

The wheat straw on the top fell to one side, revealing two cloth bags for grain, one bag of corn and one bag of ground flour.

There is also a Chinese cabbage and a small bag of potatoes.

Wang Tianxiao saw that the overturned car was not far from his own cave, so he didn't load the car, and carried the bags back to the cave.

"Ask my parents if they are okay later." The ground was too slippery, and Li Yali felt that she was not feeling well today, so she didn't dare to get off the kang.

"Okay, let uncle come over after we move up."

Both of them tacitly avoided the embarrassing truth.

"Is it grandpa?" Little Wang Fang was lying on the bed with her legs crossed, flipping through the missing comic books. It was the half volume of "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" picked up by Wang Tianxiao.

Children like to read stories very much, but Wang Tianxiao has no extra money to buy them. Later, she grew up and became a writer, perhaps to make up for the regrets of her childhood.

"It's your grandfather, do you want to see him?"

Wang Fang shook her head, "I don't know him well, didn't you say you shouldn't greet strangers casually?"

Wang Tianxiao and his wife looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless and bitter.

It's not the child's fault that the child doesn't know grandpa, and they can't blame her for being childish.

When she went out again, her mother, Zhang Meifeng, opened the curtain and came out, saying coldly, "A man has to be honest. Whether your surname is Wang or Li, you don't feel ashamed to take food from beggars."

The mother's voice was always loud, and she didn't have any scruples about the face of her father-in-law on the edge of the cliff.

Speaking of which, although the two families are in-laws, there are many inextricable contradictions.

First of all, there are irreconcilable contradictions between Wangjiacun and Lijiacun.

The people of the previous generation in Wangjiacun, that is, the grandfather of Wang Tianxiao's great-grandfather was a big landowner, and the entire Wangjiacun and Lijiacun were almost all land owned by the Wang family ancestors.

Later, Mrs. Wang liked to gamble. Not only did he lose money to a man surnamed Li, he even lost his concubine to the Li family.

Thus formed the later Lijia Village.

Because Lijiacun is the descendant of the concubine, and Wangjiacun is the main house, so the Wangjiacun children of Wangjiacun not only hate Lijiacun, but also look down on them.

The two villages have gone through several generations, and they have long since changed from person to person, but this kind of conflict between villages still exists, and I don’t know how many times there have been fighting in the village.

As the eldest of Wangjiacun's generation, Zhang Meifeng naturally inherited the grievances of the previous generation. Even Yu Xiaofeng, the third daughter-in-law, would scold Li Wanfu for this reason.

Because of this, the Wang family basically didn't like to see Li Yali, no matter whether she was a good person or not.

Wang Tianxiao and Li Yali met through someone from a forest farm. One of Li Yali's uncles worked in the forest farm. Seeing Wang Tianxiao's hard work and steadfastness, he introduced them to each other while his niece was visiting him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yali fell in love with Wang Tianxiao at a glance, and they finally got together under the help of her uncle.

The two elders of the Li family were very kind and simple. Although they felt that their daughter might suffer if they married, they just agreed and did not interfere with the matter of living as a young couple.

But the Wang family did not agree with this marriage.

From the very beginning, Zhang Meifeng obstructed her in many ways, and at one point even did not allow Wang Tianxiao to go home, forcing her to sever her relationship with her son.

But Wang Tianxiao already liked Li Yali very much at this time, and he was willing to give up no matter what. He was also stubborn. Since his mother didn't want to see him, he took his wife to stay in the mountains for more than a year, and only returned home when his daughter Wang Fang was born. Zhang Meifeng had no choice but to see Li Yali.

There is another more subtle reason why Zhang Meifeng doesn't want to see Li Yali.

When Wang Tianxiao's father, Wang Fusheng, was buying hair in Lijia Village, he accidentally fell into an abandoned pit yard and found that he had been cold for more than a day.

Zhang Meifeng poured this resentment into her hatred of Lijiacun, thinking that her husband was killed. Therefore, he didn't like Li Yali, the daughter-in-law of the Li family village.

In short, it was a mess, even though she knew in her heart that it had nothing to do with Li Yali, there were always knots that couldn't be solved.

"Mother, I live my own life. It's my business whether I lose face or not. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

Wang Tianxiao said lightly, and added: "Also, I hope that in the future, I don't want to say anything about my father-in-law. I don't like to hear it. He is my wife's father, that is, my elder. He married his daughter to me, but It's not here to be angry."

"Second, you..."

"That's it, mother, don't force me, you know my temper, if you do this again, I don't know how to get along with you. I have always been filial to you, if you love your child, don't make things difficult for me. "

After finishing speaking, he left regardless of what his mother said.

Pushing the small wheelbarrow back to the edge of the cliff, his father-in-law was still waiting for him alone. After taking the car, his father-in-law said, "Then I'll go back." After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something. Trembling in his pocket, he took out a black handkerchief.

Layers were uncovered, and there was a piece of ten yuan, a few pieces of one yuan, and some small change.

He kept Mao Mao and the cents for himself, and stuffed all the above ten yuan to Wang Tianxiao, "Lili is about to have a baby, she needs to eat more delicious food, she will be in poor health when she is young, so don't leave anything behind." root cause."

Looking at the money in his hand, Wang Tianxiao had mixed feelings for a moment.

Li Wanfu learned from others as a carpenter, making money by making farm tool handles and weaving some baskets for others. He was exiled in Lijia Village.

He counted all the money he could earn, and he wanted to secretly give it to his daughter without telling the children of the family. He did not know how long he worked so hard to save it.
