The Story of the Northeast Village

Chapter 4 Life After Marriage

After passing through the door, the youngest daughter-in-law gave birth to Da Ya and Er Ya.Da Ya squinted her eyes a little.It’s strange that the little daughter-in-law loves to take advantage of small things too much. At that time, there was no electricity meter in his house, so he would light moon lamps (that is, three yuan a month for lighting, no matter how many kilowatt-hours the electricity runs), and even light a [-]-degree headlight during confinement. Cannon, for fear that I won't be able to take advantage of it, but I will suffer a big loss if I am greedy for small gains, and the child will suffer from eye diseases.At that time, someone even jokingly said, "Why didn't you turn on the searchlight at the train station?" The person next to him said, "You think he doesn't want to light it, mainly because the household electricity can't be turned on." After that, everyone laughed. .Boss Zhang and his wife were also worried about this matter and regretted it, but it was too late, so they had to let nature take its course.

After having a child, the days are getting brighter day by day. Boss Zhang is also very satisfied with life, and he doesn't think much about it. He just dawdles around every day. When everyone goes to work when the farming is busy, he also goes to tend the land.During the slack season, like most people, he idled in and out of the village from west to east, drinking tea, chatting and chatting, and lived a life that even gods would envy.They all felt that it was good to keep their wives warm on the kang, and their children around them.Yes, after the reform and opening up, after the pursuit of personal economic interests has been extra protected, how many people have squeezed into the ranks of you fighting for each other, but here is really a piece of pure land, where people do not starve themselves , and if the years are good, they are already satisfied with extra income. In a state that seems to be isolated from the outside world, they don't know that they should have more pursuits, and they don't understand why they lose the warmth of family and family for money. .Their ideological conservatism also kept a piece of pure land in their hearts.I really don't know whether I should be happy for them to keep their kind and simple nature, or feel sad that they don't know how to seize the great opportunity of the new society and waste their time.

Summer is a great season when everything is growing.Up and down the mountain, the fields and countryside are full of greenery.Every morning you go out of the house, take a deep breath, and an incomparably mellow breath from nature will make you intoxicated.What's more tempting is that eating fish here is effortless and cost-effective.There are two rivers at the west end of the village. In summer and autumn, there are swarms of fish and shrimp.Boss Zhang is a good fisherman. He often goes to the river to fish with his bare hands.Sometimes when there are many fish in the river, everyone will touch them, but no one can touch as many as him.Boss Zhang went home cheerfully with the fish in his hand. First he played with his two children, and then he helped his wife clean up the fish. Dinner was a pot of delicious fish soup.When sleeping at night, my daughter-in-law asked him: "Why are you so good at catching fish? Do you have any tricks?" As soon as Mr. Zhang got interested, he told his daughter-in-law: "If you want to talk about tricks, there are a few, such as: If the water is too clear, you can’t catch fish, so mix the clear water and fish in muddy water; if the water is too fast, the fish won’t be able to swim, so they will find a place where the water is slow to stay. You have to find a place where the water is slow to catch fish in fast water; It is a habit not to walk in the middle of the water, so you have to touch the edge of the river with your hands; if it is a water bubble, you have to dig some traps and dig a few deep holes with your hands, fish like to drill there, you should remember the holes You just need to wade back and forth in the water a few times, and then go back to touch, and there will be fish." Hearing this, the young daughter-in-law couldn't help admiring: "You are too good, with so many tricks, no wonder you caught big and big fish. How much?" Seeing his daughter-in-law happy, Mrs. Zhang hugged her in his arms: "Isn't that all for you?" The young couple fell asleep happily.
