Chapter 1226 Mercy
“Second aunt, this is for you.”
“Sixth uncle, take this wine.”
“Eh? Where is fourth aunt? You The family wants to pay back the Yanghe River Is it Quanxing? "
In the Yang family house, Ni Yinghong was like a philanthropic landowner, stuffing things into the hands of relatives, and carrying out poverty alleviation and condolences activities that were loved by the villagers.
However, because there were too many people, she was smart and could only treat them differently. For the elders like the second uncle and the third uncle, she would get some tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, while for the younger ones, she would get them. Each of those people was given something, either a cigarette or a bottle of wine. As for the village cadres who were not related to each other, it was Chu Heng who came forward and gave each of them a box of Pegasus cigarettes.
In this regard, no one in the room complained at all, and everyone was smiling happily.
As mentioned before, when dividing things, it is important not to worry about the scarcity but the inequality, but there is a prerequisite for this, and that is status.
Although the younger generations get far less than their elders, do they dare to say anything?
If they dare, they will be greeted by their third uncle and grandpa’s big dick, and then they will be scolded.
What's the level of your special girl? Dare you accept the same thing as me?
Similarly, the same is true for those village cadres. They are neither relatives of Chu Heng nor friends of Chu Heng. They can enjoy themselves secretly if they can get a pack of cigarettes.
At this time, the room was peaceful.
The men or women from each family who had just received the gifts happily looked at the things in their hands, and threw baskets of good words out. Xiao Ni was dizzy after hearing this, and almost lost his way, with a face on his face. on The smile has not faded, and it is like a flower. This makes Chu Heng very worried. If this continues, when they return from attending Yang Qing's wedding, will his wife's face have a lot of wrinkles? .
We chatted like this for a while, and at about six o'clock, Mrs. Yang Qing, who lived in the kitchen of the outhouse, showed a rough face full of joy at the door and shouted: " Stop chatting and put the table on the table. Let’s start dinner soon.”
"Boom!"
In an instant, the women sitting around the Kang got off the ground one after another, some went to set up the table, and some went to get the dishes and chopsticks. The division of labor was clear, the chaos was orderly, and the cooperation was very tacit, as if It seemed like it had been practiced countless times.
But the men should still drink tea and smoke without moving.
Women also take this for granted.
In this small mountain village where farming is the main source of income, men are the backbone of the family. Their hands are used to earn grain for the family, not to dry laundry or cook. of.
Even now women can work in the fields to earn work points, and the economic value they create is enough to make them equal to their husbands. However, the idea of male superiority and female inferiority inherited from thousands of years of history has been deeply ingrained, so they have not realized this, or It is said that the mind has not yet been liberated, and it is still doing what women should have done thousands of years ago without complaint.
The women moved very quickly. Within a short time, three large tables were placed in the Yang family house. As the delicious dishes carefully prepared by the third uncle and grandpa for Chu Heng and Ni Yinghong were served, people in the house were busy. Take a seat, pick up your wine glass and start talking.
This went on until after seven o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and the open-air movie on the threshing floor was about to start.
As a result, the old and young men in the room quickly ended the drinking party, left the Yang family in a hurry, ran back to their homes, picked up the mats and benches, and rushed to the threshing floor to watch a movie.
“What movie will be shown today, Lingling.”
"The first tunnel battle ended at Military Station No. 51."
"Oh, I really like tunnel battles. Let's go quickly, don't run out of good positions in a while."
"Don't worry "Sister-in-law, Yang Qing asked someone to take a good seat early."
On the way to the threshing floor, Xiao Ni was surrounded by women, and a group of Yingying Yanyan chatted, which attracted many people. Less eyes.
Chu Heng was following behind them, and he was also the center of the men. Even his third uncle and second uncle had to stay with him.
A group of people walked for a while, talking and laughing, and then came to the threshing floor. "Ouch!"
Chu Heng and his wife were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw a huge curtain held up by two pine poles in front of the earth wall on the easternmost side of the threshing floor. The curtain was darkly filled with people, almost filling the entire threshing floor. The field looked like a freshly opened can of soybeans, with no trace of the foot left.
There were men, women, and children in the venue. Because the movie hadn't been played yet, everyone was chatting and swearing. It was a mess.
The arrival of Chu Heng and others quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Knowing that the Yang Qing family had relatives in Beijing, they looked over curiously. No matter men, women, old or young, they were all amazed by this golden couple.
“Are all the people in Forty-Nine City so good-looking?”
“Hey, have you seen that woman? She looks like the one in the painting.”
“That The men are so handsome. I have never seen such handsome men in my life.”
“Look at the clothes they wear.”
During the discussion, Yang Kai, the eldest grandson of the second uncle's grandfather's family, suddenly stood up from a vacant space in front of the curtain and waved to them vigorously.
"Brother, sister-in-law, this way!"
He didn't drink today. After dinner, he came over with a mission to occupy the space.
When Ren Lingling saw it, she quickly and several women carefully protected Ni Yinghong and squeezed into the crowd. They were wary of men whose eyes were about to fall out, especially those who had gone out of business in eight villages. The famous second-rate people are afraid that if they get hot-headed and take advantage, some terrible things will happen.
“Give it all, give it all.”
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs."
Such a posture directly scares away those who have other ideas. They are afraid of being torn apart by these old ladies!
Under heavy protection, Xiao Ni arrived at the open space smoothly, and then was arranged to sit down at an angle at the end.
Soon Chu Heng also squeezed in and took a seat next to his wife.
It just so happened that the movie was put on at this time. As the familiar music sounded, the originally chaotic threshing floor suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked attentively at the big curtain in front of them.
But Ni Yinghong, who loves watching movies the most, did not pay attention to the curtain at this time. She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at the children around her who were either poorly dressed, some were sallow and skinny, and they were even almost ten years old and still had their butts bare.
She is not Sima Zhong who doesn't eat minced meat. She knows very well that the reason why these children don't wear pants is because the family is too poor and they really can't bear to give up cloth to make clothes for the children whose bodies almost look the same every day.
Ni Yinghong's eyes turned around and finally landed on a little girl very close to her. This little girl looked about five or six years old and was wearing a dress sewn with scraps of cloth. , just like the Bai Nie Yi in the play.
Due to long-term malnutrition, her body looked as thin as if it were built with firewood sticks, and her hair was sparse and yellow, like withered grass.
“Suck!”
The little girl, like Ni Yinghong, did not go to the movies. Instead, she bit her fingers and drooled as she looked at a child not far away who was nibbling on a bun while watching a movie.
Seeing her look like this, Xiao Ni was convinced that this little girl probably didn't eat at night, or only ate very little.
Ni Yinghong held her husband's big hand, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.
This rural area is more difficult than she imagined.
