Li Yuzhen hesitated.
Obviously, she didn't expect that Shi Ji's mind would be so precocious.
Shi Ji looked at Wen Da, then at Wen Zhong, and saw Wen Zhong shaking his head slightly at him, which made Shi Ji lower his head and remain silent for a moment. Read the book
Finally, Shi Ji raised his head, looked at his mother, and asked, "Can mom also take my brother away with me?"
Shi Ji is still a child after all.
Wen Da coughed.
Li Yuzhen shook his head quickly, but had to bite the bullet and said, "Mom can only take you."
Shi Ji thought about it seriously and said, "I am willing to go with my mother."
Wenda kept his word and not only did not stop him, he also gave the mother and son 200 yuan.
Before leaving, looking at Shi Ji who was suppressing his joy and Li Yuzhen who was frowning, Wen Zhong suddenly said: "I'll see you off."
Wen Da still didn't stop him, he just said that Wen Zhong should leave early and come back early.
On the way, Wen Zhong was in front, and mother and son were behind. Shi Ji chattered and asked Li Yuzhen many questions. For example, where has my mother been for so many years, why did she come to me now, where are we going next, and asked Li Yuzhen if anyone has hit her in the past years, etc. Li Yuzhen couldn't answer a single question.
When he reached the foot of a large mountain at the entrance of the village, Wen Zhong suddenly stopped and pointed to a path winding up the mountain in front of him: "Let's go from here over this mountain. There is a road that can take you back to the south faster. "
Li Yu was really distracted and didn't think much about it: "Then let's go here."
Shi Ji, however, held his mother's clothes and stood still, his eyes full of vigilance but looking at Wen Zhong fearlessly.
Wen Zhong smiled and said to Li Yuzhen: "Mom, you take a few steps first, and I will say a few words to my brother. After you leave this time, I don't know if my brother and I can see each other again."
Li Yuzhen had no doubts about him. Seeing Shiji's strange expression, he thought he was reluctant to leave Wenzhong.
"Then I'll wait for you at the front."
After Li Yuzhen finished speaking, he knelt down and faced Shi Ji face to face and said, "You have grown up. If you have anything you want to say to your brother, just say it."
After standing up, she sighed inexplicably.
After Li Yuzhen walked up the path up the mountain, he sat under a big tree and waited for Shi Ji.
Wen Zhong is two years older than Shi Ji, and is more than half a head taller than Shi Ji. Wen Zhong turned his back to Li Yuzhen, completely blocking Shi Ji from his figure. This made Li Yuzhen unable to see their expressions and unable to hear what they said.
The two brothers talked for a long time, for more than half an hour.
When Shi Ji appeared in front of Li Yuzhen again, there were two traces of tears on his face, obviously reluctant to let go of Wen Zhong.
Li Yu really wanted to hold Shi Ji's hand, but Shi Ji took his hand away and asked with sobs, "Mom, have you ever been hungry?"
Li Yuzhen had certainly suffered from hunger, but Shi Ji's sudden question made her confused and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
But Shi Ji choked and continued: "Being hungry... is more terrible than being beaten. I would rather my father beat me than deny me food."
Li Yuzhen finally felt a sore nose, and realized that Shi Ji was not only punched and kicked at Wenda, but also starved on purpose. Shi Ji also suffered from hunger when he was younger, but that time was in Vietnam. He was too young at the time and seems not to remember what he felt at that time.
Then, Shi Ji asked, "Mom, when you go back to the south, will you often have no food to eat?"
When Vietnam pursues an expansionary policy, the Vietnamese people suffer the most. The protracted Vietnam War has displaced Vietnamese people and plunged them into poverty. After the war, the Vietnamese authorities attempted to implement regional hegemony, but were beaten up by the "teacher", or in other words, the "big brother", which made the already difficult people's livelihood even worse.
In the 1980s, Vietnamese people suffered from food shortages and lack of clothing. Many people do not have stable homes and have to live in air-raid shelters with harsh conditions. Li Yuzhen's third husband has his own rammed earth house and is already considered a wealthy local.
People in some poor areas are forced to
Eating spoiled food. As for basic daily necessities such as sugar, oil, and soap, they were already considered luxuries to the Vietnamese at that time.
Many Vietnamese, forced to make a living, ignore the authorities' ban and secretly go to the China-Vietnam border to do business in exchange for daily necessities. It has become common for Vietnamese women to cross the border and marry into China.
At that time, Vietnam's poverty plight was not only reflected in the starvation of the people, but the situation of the Vietnamese army was not much better.
Due to tight military expenditures, lack of supplies, and chaotic management, the Vietnamese army faces serious logistical problems. It is the norm that "soldiers do not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes" and "life in the armed forces is very difficult".
During a routine inspection, it was discovered that every 17 kilograms of military rations for the Vietnamese army was adulterated with 2 kilograms of straw, sawdust, and other debris, and normal supply could not be guaranteed.
During the war against Vietnam in a broad sense (1979-1989), Vietnamese soldiers secretly ran to the enemy positions and ate canned food, dry food and other military supplies. This shows how hungry the Vietnamese soldiers were.
Li Yuzhen finally realized what problems he would face after taking Shi Ji away.
So she wiped her tears and said, "Xiaoji, why don't you just stay with daddy."
If Li Yuzhen really came to see Shi Ji, he would definitely not ask him to stay at this time.
Shi Ji's face suddenly turned cold, and the tears in his eyes disappeared. He turned to look at Li Yuzhen coldly: "Mom, you really didn't come to see me."
Li Yuzhen was speechless. At the same time, looking at the child's cold eyes, she suddenly felt a little scared.
Shi Ji coldly changed the subject: "Mom, you shouldn't have left me in the first place. Since you didn't come to see me now, you shouldn't have come back again."
Seeing that Li Yuzhen was still lost in thought, Shi Ji stretched out his small hand to hold her big hand, lowered his head, and said in a gentle tone: "Mom, let me see you off..."
His eyes were as cold as frost, and he secretly turned back and glanced at Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong smiled.
"Mom, I'll see you off too... I'll guide you." Wen Zhong walked up with a smile.
Li Yuzhen only heard his son's tone of voice being gentler, and thought that his son had decided to stay here, so he didn't think much about it. He held Shi Ji's hand and followed Wen Zhong step by step.
That day, bad news came back to "Landmine Village". Li Yuzhen accidentally stepped on a landmine on Panlong Mountain at the entrance of the village. Because the trail where the mine was located was on the edge of a cliff, Li Yuzhen was blown away by the mine and fell into the cliff, leaving no trace of his body. The bottom of the cliff is a no-man's land, wild animals roam wild, and there is no way to go.
The village sent people to the scene, but they only saw a dark hole blown by a mine on the edge of the cliff.
Fortunately, both children were unharmed.
Half a year ago, a landmine exploded in Panlong Mountain. There were no casualties at that time, but when the Wen Da family's two cubs were herding sheep on the mountain, one of them accidentally hit a landmine while grazing.
This second exploding landmine alerted the village committee. They quickly organized the village's "bomb disposal unit" to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the accessible places in Panlong Mountain. As a result, they worked for more than half a month without finding a single hair.
This year, Wen Zhong was 12 years old and Shi Ji was only 10 years old.
The water flows eastward, the leaves fall one after another, and the passing time passes quietly and slowly. We wear new clothes and light firecrackers. With each passing year, we gradually approach and sneak away.
When the cooperative in the county was also preparing to start large-scale land reclamation and plant tea trees, Wenda, like a dog with a keen sense of smell, immediately found the person in charge of the cooperative, rubbed them hard, cried bitterly, and asked them to buy his Tea tree hilltop.
Considering that direct acquisition can save a lot of time investment and shorten the production cycle, and Wenda's tea tree hills are far smaller than the scale they plan to cultivate and plant. Therefore, the cooperative just gave in and "complied" with Wen Da without losing its arrogance.
As a result, Wenda finally packaged and transferred his tea tree hilltops to the county cooperative.
At the same time, Wenda also learned a seemingly inconspicuous piece of news through the cooperative: the cooperative is committed to utilizing the local climate advantages to operate various agricultural products, especially various types of cash crops.
Such as tea and fruits, but purchasing crop seeds in large quantities is a hassle.
In a word, there is no professional agricultural seed wholesale company in our county, or even in Qinghe City, that has a full range of products and can supply large quantities of seeds.
Wen Da immediately thought that when he planted tea trees, he had indeed traveled to several places to buy all the seedlings.
As a result, Wenda, who had completed the accumulation of original capital, realized that the cultivation and sales of tea would only increase and become more and more large-scale and professional. He, a nouveau riche in a small mountain village, mainly engaged in scattered wholesale, just like A small shrimp, facing a "behemoth" like a cooperative, can only fall behind in terms of sales channels and sales scale. Sooner or later it will be "swallowed up". After transferring the tea mountain, it decisively started agricultural seeds again. wholesale company.
While Wen Da's career was booming, Ruan Xingzhu also became pregnant.
In the early years, Wenda seemed to have spent most of his "energy" on domestic violence, which is why Ruan Xingzhu's pregnancy came so late.
At this time, Wenda's family of five moved to Qinghe City.
Wenda's father passed away in the city, so he returned to his roots and naturally returned to "Landi Village" to hold the funeral.
The funeral held by local tycoon Wenda for his father was extremely grand.
There are almost no interruptions for the three meals a day. The chefs in charge of cooking simply divided into three shifts, each responsible for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Fireworks, firecrackers, and gunfire continue for a long time, as if they are free of charge.
A large stage was set up in front of the memorial platform.
When Wen Da paid a lot of money to hire someone to perform the unique trick of changing faces in Sichuan Opera on stage, few people were watching off the stage. A folk band from Henan participated in a national performance in Qinghe, and Wen Da also spent money on it. When "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" was played on the stage, there were only a few villagers in the audience, yawning and muttering "it's too noisy."
