In 2004, food was taken care of, and income was guaranteed during droughts and floods, with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan.
How could You Lijun not be moved?
Including Ye Guimei's salary, the couple worked more in one year than in two years in their hometown.
If my son You Rui is admitted to college in two years' time, tuition plus food expenses will cost at least six to seven thousand a year.
Half of the families in the village have built buildings, but theirs is still the red brick bungalow he built the year he got married.
If the eldest daughter wants to introduce him to other jobs, he will still worry that he will not be able to do it, but he is really good at growing vegetables!
Yougoubian Village is located near the Qingyi River, only six kilometers away from the center of Jiang County.
The Qingyi River is a tributary of the Minjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and a tributary of the Dadu River.
When it reaches Jiang County, the river bed is 1.5 kilometers wide at its widest point, and the largest sandy beach covers an area of 1.3 square kilometers (nearly two thousand acres).
Except for the Chengdu Plain, most places in Sichuan Province are dominated by hilly landforms.
Because of this water area, Yougoubian Village in Jiang County has accumulated a large area of plain fertile soil over thousands of years.
There are two types of land allocated to the village, one is sandy dry land, and the other is large and flat paddy fields that are very convenient for water diversion for irrigation.
When the household responsibility system was implemented, each villager was allocated six points of paddy fields and eight points of dry land.
There are seven members of You Lijun's family in their household registration. They currently have just over four acres of paddy field and five to six acres of dry land.
Sandy dry land is perfect for growing vegetables: the soil is deep, rich in organic matter, has good drainage, and is also loose and ventilated.
Ordinary lotus flowers can grow as big as a millstone, radishes are as big as your head, and cowpeas can grow longer than your arms...
However, growing these worthless vegetables has become a thing of the past. In the past five or six years, villagers have gradually learned the techniques of growing vegetables in greenhouses.
In the entire village, every household has at least two greenhouses.
You Lijun was one of the first batch of people who went out to learn greenhouse planting techniques, and he can be regarded as the best vegetable grower in the Seventh Production Team.
You Lijun is very happy to be able to earn wages using his skills.
Moreover, the eldest daughter You Ci was still in the key high school where she taught, and helped her younger son You Rui obtain the qualifications to be a transfer student.
Even the best Jiangxian No. 1 Middle School cannot get into several of the top ten key universities in the country in one year.
I don’t know how much effort it took to transfer my younger brother, who had been studying in high school for one semester, to a key high school in Beijing!
You Rui himself has good grades and has the same demeanor as You Ci did back then.
You Lijun privately thought that with good training, his son could be admitted to Beijing University.
It was such a great thing that the whole family, except You Yu, all raised their hands and feet in approval.
The reason for not taking her to Beijing is also very practical. You Yu's grandma gave birth to two daughters, and her father, You Lijun, is the only son.
According to the rules of rural people, married girls do not have to support their parents.
The son who stays at home to pass on the incense must bear the responsibility of providing for his parents in their old age.
Therefore, no matter what, one person must be left at home to take care of the old couple.
But You Yu, who has graduated from high school less than a year ago, can’t live without her mother!
Her mother, Ye Guimei, is a good worker at home and abroad.
She also likes to be clean and tidy, and she can make even ordinary meals taste delicious.
Because her original body always complained, saying that Ye Guimei had mistreated her when she was pregnant, so she was born and suffered.
She usually has to choose the good things at home first. Even You Rui will help with the household chores, but You Yu has never done it before.
I was too lazy to even wash my underwear by hand, so my mother helped me wash them.
To use an old saying, it’s: I can’t do anything well, I’ll be the first to eat whatever I want, and I’ll try to find ways to ask for pocket money from my elders when I have nothing to do.
You Ci opened her mouth to take her parents and younger brother to the capital, leaving two old people behind for her to take care of.
How could You Yu, who had been the family's little bully for more than ten years, suffer such a big loss?
I scolded You Ci on the phone for an entire hour. Maybe You Ci couldn't bear it anymore and vented the grievances he had suffered for many years on the phone:
"You Yu, you just have dwarfism, not your intellectual development!
Whose 19-year-old adult can't take care of himself? You Rui and I gave in to you in the past, but look at how selfish you are now?
You won’t let my mother help me with confinement, and you won’t let my father come to Beijing to make money! Are you worthy to be our relative? You are more evil than the devil..."
An astonishing curse!
No family member has ever said such harsh words to You Yu. He will never (expletive) win the fight.
During the Chinese New Year, I had several quarrels with You Ci, You Lijun and his wife, and You Rui.
It was impossible to cry, so I finally came up with a hunger strike.
He threatened to die and wanted to keep his parents.
This year has been quite "wonderful", but Grandpa You couldn't stand it any longer, so he angrily decided.
Let the son, daughter-in-law, and grandson go as they please, and leave the house to them.
More than half of the villagers from the three nearby production teams who live in the houses on the left and right have the surname You.
He and his wife are both strong and strong. Is it possible that they can't take care of a nineteen-year-old granddaughter?
The eldest granddaughter is absolutely right. The younger granddaughter who can finish high school is not a fool.
He was just so used to it by his family that he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Hunger strike? Grandpa You is well-informed, and the shrews in the village like to use this trick to scare the men in the family.
He thought in his heart: Most of the people who cried, made trouble, and hung themselves were just acting for others to see. How many of them were really brave enough to commit suicide?
Don't you just want them to be soft-hearted?
If you don’t eat, you will fall down! The little granddaughter should be punished!
Besides, it’s just the New Year, and there are a lot of candies, snacks, and fruits at home. Even if you don’t eat, you won’t starve to death.
But how could he have expected that his little granddaughter would be so weak and energetic!
I was really cruel and starved myself to death in bed.
Recalling this, I know that when you meet such a master, you just say it’s terrible, isn’t it terrible?
Seeing that the full-length mirror was on the door in the middle of the closet, You Yu climbed out of bed, stood at the end of the bed, and looked at himself in front of the full-length mirror from a distance.
After mustering up the courage to look at it for only twenty seconds, I fell back on the bed.
It’s really indescribable, oh my god!
At 1.3 meters tall, she is a head shorter than she was before.
The proportions of the limbs are extremely uncoordinated: the belly is bulging, the neck is almost invisible from the front, and the head appears to be larger than ordinary people.
The hair is surprisingly voluminous, not long, slightly yellow and naturally curly.
I don’t know if it’s because dry weather tends to cause static electricity, but it actually gave her an afro while sleeping.
Her facial features are not ugly, her eyebrows are her eyebrows, her nose is her nose, and her skin is even fair and tender.
As long as you don't speak and pretend to be a third- or fourth-grade elementary school student, most people will be able to deceive you.
But what made You Yu collapse was that in the mirror, her legs in tight long johns were short and she had to endure it, but they were not straight yet!
O-shaped legs are undoubtedly!
