Vol 2 Chapter 9: Father and mother


   Chapter 9 Good Father and Loving Mother
"Grandpa, father, mother, are you in heaven? I now have a son. You must be good. I think our family can cross here. You should guard us. Our family will live happily. ."
Zhou Jiao looked at the corner of Zhang Guoqing’s red eyes, stretched out a hand to pull his hand, and said coquettishly: "Brother, do you think your son looks like a pig and ate and fell asleep? You help move it to the left , You lie on my right, take a rest early, and there will be things tomorrow."
"Well, I'll go to the main room and say, let my mother rest and not use it here. Feed it every 2 hours at night. You can take out the newborn baby with milk powder and the bottle to try to eat it at night? By the way, you Take out a dozen diapers. There are also 2 pig trotter, red dates a catty, milk powder and two packs of milk bottle, you also need to prepare a bottle, you can take the other meat, you will take less, I will go out and go around before dawn tomorrow Minglu back.
   Those rags are my mother’s treasure, don’t throw them away, wrap them up and give them to me. I guess the children of Ersao’s family will use them. "
Zhou Jiao knew that his second brother’s little daughter had just turned 2 years old, and the diaper was just ready to use. In the impression that the little girl was ruined by Lin Chrysanthemum, she had never cleaned up, and had no milk to feed. She was still a grandmother. Mother Zhang was soft-hearted and fed her with rice porridge. Several times the family stewed the egg custard to feed her, Lin Juhua took advantage of Zhang's mother to turn around and ate it all by herself, angering Zhang's mother only to curse. It's like a little chicken, and it's very extensive. Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.
   When Zhang Guoqing arrived in the main room, the kerosene lamp was still on. The kerosene in the kerosene lamp costs a few cents a night to light, and the kerosene lamps in the countryside are dark unless necessary. So Zhang Guoqing is still a little surprised, is he planning to be on duty in the middle of the night?
   "Mother, the baby has already slept with milk just now. Today you and my father didn't rest. This time you go to bed and don't need to get up at night. Be careful and freeze it. I wake up at night and you can rest assured."
   Mother Zhang nodded in a daze, and instructed Zhang Guoqing to call her if the child cried, because she was afraid they would not take care of her. Dad Zhang undressed and went to sleep with him without seeing anything. Zhang Guoqing carefully blew out the light and came out and closed the door.
   At 2 o'clock in the morning, the baby woke up crying, Zhang Guoqing immediately picked up and soaked the milk powder, and the little things to eat also calmed down. He didn't wake Jiaojiao either. It would be good if he was weak after childbirth and could sleep a little longer. Change the diaper and the little villain feels comfortable and then sleep. He didn't cry like other people's children, he was really his son, he was smart.
   I took breast milk at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, and later adjusted to midnight milk powder. Add milk powder once during the day, so I don’t worry that Jiaojiao will not be able to eat it.
   Feeling stupefied in the yard. Zhang Guoqing got up and watched the daybreaking dawn outside, and cleaned himself up with the faint light.
   walked toward the kitchen. The older sister in the kitchen was making breakfast. The people in the countryside got up early. It should be more than 5 o’clock without a watch. As the elder sister, it’s not easy to be busy for more than ten years.
   As for the second sister-in-law, she has to get up to cook pig food later, otherwise, when the pig is hungry and barking, his mother will clean her up.
   In the past, the family had breakfast, and the man in the family would go to the backyard to take care of the vegetable garden, or to clean up his own plot. No one is hanging around, that's a second-rate job. Women have to wash their clothes and clean up the house and yard before starting work at 6:30. In the afternoon, when I come back from work, I have to harvest pig grass.
   Zhang Guoqing could not find his mother, and was not used to shouting loudly. We greeted his sister-in-law, and took two dishes and came out early. At this time, Mother Zhang just picked vegetables from the backyard and walked to the kitchen.
   "Mother, I first go to the city to see if there is any breast-feeding? My sister, then I will go directly to announce the good news, and when I come back, I will go to Zhou's home to announce the good news.
   After finishing speaking, Zhang Guoqing blinked at Mother Zhang. Mother Zhang knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "You stinky boy, you are naughty, you are a dad."
   "Mother, if the baby wakes up later, you remember to let Jiaojiao feed once, and he eats once at 2 in the morning."
   "I see, mother prepares her breakfast first, the old hen soup simmered last night, just waiting to get up and get the noodles."
   "Oh, mother, your old son has fallen out of favor~ You don’t need an old son, you are sad. Haha, mother, see if I have anything to bring in the city?"
"Go, who cares about your skin boy, go early and return early. There is nothing to bring, brown sugar and eggs are ready. I haven't eaten this morning, take a few wowotou on the road. I saw steamed buns in the city Remember to buy something to eat."
   "Understood, I'm leaving first." Zhang Guoqing shook his hand and rode away on the bicycle. Mother Zhang watched him turn the path and returned to the kitchen without seeing his back.
   Zhang Guoqing likes this mother very much. She understands things and is unambiguous. You must know that the rural women live very meticulously and live a lot.
   After all, just a few years after liberation, the problem of food and clothing has not been solved. Even if Zhangjia Village has a good geographical location, rich soil and abundant mountain forest resources, every family in the village does not have much savings. The best thing is that they don't worry about eating enough.
  Many people in the village who rely on centimeters really have two meals a day. It is snowy every year. Everyone, young and old, digs wild vegetables to survive. Nowadays, money cannot buy food, and no one can afford high-priced food.
   The Zhang family eats porridge for breakfast and lunch for three meals a day. For dinner, sweet potatoes and dried rice are already regarded as wealthy people. They are closed when they eat, and they don’t want others to see the discussion. Those who came over from that year knew that they didn't show their family background.
   Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are smart and capable, plus two sisters subsidies, UU reading www. Every year, uukanshu.com distributes fine grains to the city and replaces them with coarse grains. The two pigs in the family are sold at the end of each year, which is an income excluding the centimeters. At the end of the year, when you kill pigs and sell pork, you can get rid of your greed, and leave another 20 kilograms for Chinese New Year and gifts.
   There are more than ten chickens laying eggs that are replaced by household necessities at home, and there are a few small supplements every other way. Of course, Zhang Guoqing is also in the small supplement, in his mother's eyes, how old the younger son is.
   Had it not been for Zhou Jiao, I wouldn't have gotten married so early. The 18-year-old Zhang Guoqing is a tall man close to 180. No matter how his mother is raised, he has tendons all over his body. Coupled with his strength, he often makes a lot of private money from hunting in Daqingshan and often brings it back. Open meat at home.
There is no way to live this day. Zhang Guoqing’s parents separated and the children were young. In those few years, they were either little devils or bandits. They were able to escape in the mountains as the backers of Zhangjia Village. The elderly, women and children in the village hid in the mountains. Picking mountain products, Zhang's father and his brothers and the village chief hunted together, and then secretly sold wild things and mountain products in Heishang City. Compared with other places, this place is also a good feng shui place.
After finally getting rid of the devils, the whole village can finally go down the mountain with peace of mind. The houses under the mountain have long been used by those devils. They have made money by relying on the unbalanced world in those years. Every household belongs to the same village, helping each other. Open the house to clean up the land and reclaim wasteland.
   After liberation, the People’s Commune was established and most of the landlords and rich peasants’ land properties were liquidated. Zhangjia Village has fewer people and more land, and the conditions are much better than other villages.
Other villages are all thatched houses, and occasionally there are blue brick and tile houses. Zhangjia Village relies on Daqingshan and uses stones on the green hill to build houses directly. It costs manpower and saves money. If conditions permit, they will buy tiles. If you have no money, you can build a thatched roof.
