After talking to his sister for a while, Zhang Huawei thought that his mother had not come back from going to the market, so he wanted to pick her up, so he said to his sister: "Sister, I will go to the farm to pick up my mother. The sun is too strong, and it will be too hot to walk back."

"Well, you go ahead. Come back early." Zhang Huawei went to the main room and pushed out the bicycle. This bicycle was bought by his family for more than 100 yuan last year. When he bought the bicycle, he went to his aunt's house and his uncle's house.

We borrowed some money to buy it. The economic conditions of my aunt's family are much better than my own. My eldest uncle is a cadre of the township government. In fact, my eldest uncle looks down on my family and almost never comes to my home. At that time,

When my father went to borrow money from his eldest uncle, he borrowed money from his eldest uncle. After all, he was his eldest uncle. It was rare for him to open his mouth. Although he borrowed money, he also said harshly to his father: "No."

You can buy a car with the money, you have to make a fool of yourself." My father was made red-faced and ashamed. It was my mother who went to my uncle's house to borrow money. My grandparents passed away when my mother was very young, and my mother was my uncle.

Growing up, my uncle was more than ten years older than my mother, so he always loved her as much as my father did. My uncle worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the family's economic conditions were relatively good. As long as my mother asked to borrow money from him, my uncle would lend her money.

Since it’s so easy to borrow money from your uncle’s house, why don’t you just borrow money from your uncle’s house instead of your eldest uncle’s house? Because the wages at this time are not high. For uncles and eldest uncles who live in rural areas, although it is better than ordinary people,

Rural families are much better off, but in general they don't have much money. It's still difficult for one family to borrow hundreds of yuan, so they have to borrow it into two families.

Having said that, let’s talk about the economic situation of Zhang Huawei’s family. Although the economic situation of Zhang Huawei’s family is relatively difficult, it is only from a relative perspective. In the overall environment of this era, the overall economic conditions in rural areas are very bad, except for farming.

There is no other extra income. Nowadays, there are very few people going out to work in rural areas, and there are very few places where they can work. Just relying on the few acres of responsibility farmland at home, not only do they have to pay public grain, taxes, and other trivial matters.

There are expenses such as epidemic prevention expenses, militia training expenses, movie expenses, etc. that no one in the future has ever heard of. Add in the cost of buying seeds and fertilizers, and there will be no money left at the end of the year, only some food.

Well, if there is no labor force in the family and the voluntary labor is not enough, at the end of the year when the collective settlement is made, the family will have to make up for the overspending. Zhang Huawei's family has better labor force and can earn dozens of dollars throughout the year. In this era

Families in rural areas who can eat meat three times a month are definitely considered good. This is only a small part. Most families can eat meat once a month. There are also many families who cannot eat meat once every three months.

Peasants who were born in this era were very miserable, really very miserable! Not only did farmers in later generations not pay food or money for farming, but they also received various subsidies from the state, which was something that was unthinkable at this time.

It’s been two years since I bought the bicycle at home, but it has been well maintained. Now it looks like it was just bought. Even the protective layer of plastic bubble wrap is still there. My brother went to the village processing house to get some.

The used engine oil came back and polished the steel rims and steel bars of the bicycle until they were shiny. When Zhang Huawei was riding his bicycle to the countryside, he saw his mother walking back hurriedly with a basket. When he came to his mother, Zhang Huawei stopped the bicycle and called:

"Mom, I'm here to pick you up." The mother looked at Zhang Huawei who was sweating profusely and said distressedly: "It's such a hot day, why don't you rest at home? I'll see how hot you are. Mom will be back soon."

"It's gone." Zhang Huawei touched his head and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm fine anyway, so it's only natural that I come to pick you up. Mom, come on, get in the car, let's go home." When the mother and son returned home, their father and brother also

They all came back. My mother took out a piece of pork from the basket in her hand and said, "I bought two kilograms of meat on the street today, and I will eat twice-cooked pork at home today."

While eating at noon, my mother suddenly said to my father: "Lao Zhang, today I met Wang Sanniang, who specializes in being a matchmaker. She said that he has a cousin in Huangsha Township next door, who is the deputy mayor of the township.

I have a son who is 21 years old this year and has relatively good family conditions. She wants to tell her cousin’s family about the beauty of our family. Lao Zhang, what do you think about this matter?" The father looked at his mother and then at his sister.

, My sister's face was already flushed at this time. "It doesn't matter what we said about this matter. You have to be gorgeous and willing to do it." My sister said with a blushing face: "Dad, Mom, you can make the decision for me." Father.

Then he said to his mother: "Then go and tell Wang Sanniang one day and bring her to see."

At noon, Zhang Huawei took a nap and then got up. When he went out and saw the white sun, he was dizzy. His parents were still taking a nap, and he didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, it might as well be nothing.

I went to talk to my cousin Zhang Huaming, and I went out after thinking about it. To get to my second uncle’s house, I had to cross two fields of about 100 meters. After a few minutes, Zhang Huawei arrived at the door of my second uncle’s house.

The dog barked immediately when he heard a sound outside the door. Zhang Huawei just barked "Big Black", and the big black dog immediately became silent. The big black dog was afraid of Zhang Huawei, because once the big black dog tried to bite Zhang Huawei, but Zhang Huawei mentioned it.

He chased him for several kilometers with a stick before giving up. From then on, whenever the big black dog saw Zhang Huawei's people or heard his voice, he would immediately run away with his tail between his legs and not dare to say anything. Maybe the big black dog was also thinking about this.

You can't afford to offend a villain! Then you won't chase me anymore if I hide far away.

Hearing the barking of the dog, the second uncle Zhang Shaowu walked out of the house sleepily. It seemed that the second uncle was also taking a nap. "Who is it?" "Second uncle, it's me, Huawei." "It's Huawei."

, come in, you are here to take care of your brother, right? This kid is still sleeping, go and call him, I will go and take a rest."

Zhang Huawei came to Zhang Huaming's room in the side room and opened the door. He saw his cousin wearing only a pair of big pants and sleeping on a bamboo mat. He didn't know what he was dreaming about. There was a trace of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

There was no reaction at all to Zhang Huawei coming in. Zhang Huawei walked to the bed and kicked the edge of the bed with his foot, shouting "get up". Zhang Huaming sat up with a start, and lay down again when he saw it was Zhang Huawei. "Oh, brother,

What are you doing? You scared me." "I have nothing to do at home, so I came to talk to you. Get up quickly." Then my cousin sat up and sat cross-legged on the bed. "Brother, if you don't pass the exam,

What are you going to do after college? I plan to go to the south to work. I heard one of my classmates say that his brother was working in the south. He went there last year. His brother wrote back and said that he could earn a month by working on the construction site there.

It's one or two hundred yuan. I'm afraid my family won't be able to afford that much in a year. My classmate is also planning to go there. He asked me to go with him. When I go, I'll find his brother. There must be work. Brother, how about you?

You go with us." "Well, this is also a way. If there is no other way in a few days, I will go to the south with you." At this time, Zhang Huawei thought that his second uncle would not agree.

My younger brother is going to the south because he is the only son in the family and has an older sister. Zhang Huawei asked his cousin: "Hua Ming, you want to go to the south. Does your second uncle agree?" "I haven't told my dad yet. If he doesn't

If you agree, I will run away. Anyway, I must go to the south." The cousin's eyes were full of yearning and longing for the south.

"Hua Ming, you'd better have a good talk with your second uncle first, and try to get his consent for you to go. Running away is only a last resort." "Brother, I understand, don't worry, I

I'll have a good talk with my dad." "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the river and see if we can catch some fish." When he heard that he was going to catch fish, his cousin suddenly became energetic.

."Okay, let's go quickly."

The two brothers went out and walked towards the river that was seven or eight hundred meters away from the village. It was more like a ditch than a river. The river was only five or six meters wide. The water was usually not deep and generally not deep.

The water depth will be more than one meter. Now there is not as much pollution as there will be in later generations, and there are still a lot of fish and shrimps in the ditches. If in later generations, the fish and shrimps in the ditches will disappear, leaving only the smelly water filling the ditches.

Because it is not the rainy season yet, the water in the river is very shallow, only 40 to 50 centimeters deep. When the two brothers arrived at the river, they took off their clothes and trousers and went into the river wearing only a pair of underwear. They were already familiar with how to catch fish.

, since they were young, a large group of children would play in the creek for a long time in the summer. The two of them first walked to a bend in the river. At the bend, the river was washed out of a small beach by the river. When they reached the bend,

The two of them separated and walked in opposite directions. After they had walked about a mile each, they both came to the middle of the river and started slapping the water, making a lot of noise. At the same time, the two of them moved the frightened fish and shrimp toward the small corner of the river.

Rushing to the river beach, when they almost reached the small river beach, the two of them threw their bodies into the water in the direction of the small river beach at the same time, pushing the water towards the river beach, so that the fish and shrimp were pushed to the river beach with the river water. But today's effect

But no, the two brothers did it twice and only saw some kittens, cats, fish and shrimps. The two brothers were discouraged. The cousin scratched his head vigorously: "Did any of them get all the fish?"
