Chapter 29 Xie Family Relatives

Liu Baiquan's cousin is Xie Chengshu, the second son of his uncle's eldest son, who is more than teenagers younger than Liu Yujin. Liu Yujin took his wife and younger brothers and sisters to join him. He was only five or six years old at that time, which was between being sensible and ignorant. At that time, although their family was different from the mountains, each family had a lot of taro for food. As long as they dared to venture into the mountains and get some wild vegetables, fruits, edible leaves, mushrooms, and wild animals, and a few gangsters could always support their family easily. However, with the seven people of Liu Yujin's family, all kinds of people joining, although several families were carrying them, it was also a heavy burden. Adults could always bear it, but it was difficult for them to endure it willingly with the hungry children.

So one day, Xie Chengshu was regarded as a first bird by everyone and pushed Liu Yuyin, who was about the same age as him. After the fight, he still scolded them for begging for the whole family in front of Liu Yujin, who was already an adult. Liu Yujin wanted to endure it at that time and went back when his uncle came to pick him up, but Liu Yuyin couldn't bear it. He wanted to leave and starve to death and would not beg for people here. All the uncles and grandpas knew about the starving people at the foot of the mountain, so how could they let them go? But Liu Yuyin didn't eat for two days in a row and just wanted to leave. There was no way, so the uncles and grandpas gathered three bags of taro for them to take them home.

This incident was unpleasant. Although more than ten years have passed, Wang Hongying has never forgotten it, and Xie Chengshu is even more unforgettable. At that time, after the Liu brother and sister-in-law left, he was beaten hard and boiled wild vegetables for three consecutive days. Not to mention corn paste, even taro scalp did not make him fall in love with him. He was so hungry that his eyes were blurred, his ears were beeping, his legs were weak, and he couldn't even cry, so he allowed him to eat with everyone.

Today, when he saw this cousin's wife, even when she was ignorant, he would inevitably feel embarrassed. She stood beside the table embarrassed, with a stiff smile on her face. If he had any choice, he would not want to leave this trip.

In previous years, when they were in large groups, each person could get more or less two kilograms of rice and five kilograms of white flour every month. However, this year they also divided the land on the mountain and divided the tea garden to households, and these subsidies were gone. They could only eat their own corn and taro.

These young people can still withstand coarse grains and fine mothers? As long as they can carry enough, it’s enough. But his grandfather and uncles and grandmothers occasionally want to drink white rice porridge, and the more they can’t drink, the more they think about it. In addition, every child can’t see anything in a short time. If you eat coarse grains for a long time, you can see that the children are suffering from malnutrition. The adults dare not drag them down like this for the sake of the children. Because his niece got married at the foot of the mountain, he thought of carrying a few loads of corn particles, and got down the mountain with his nephew, and asked his niece to help him take some white rice with the people below the mountain to go back.

But I knew that people at the foot of the mountain did not eat corn, and only a few families would change their way home, waiting for the New Year to fry popcorn for the children who wished them New Year. He and his nephew and son-in-law carried three loads of down the mountain, and it took two days to replace them to carry corn particles. They could not carry them back again, so they had to take their nephew and carry corn to find their cousin's house with shamelessness.

Wang Hongying is a discerning person. When he saw this cousin uncomfortable, he smiled and said, "Cousin Chengshu, we should have visited a few uncles and uncles for so many years, but we always want to earn labor points and allocate more food to the family. We really can't bear to leave. I originally thought that we could finally go to the mountain to see the elderly during the Chinese New Year this year, but I didn't expect that we would come first. We were really rude!"

"Don't say that, my grandfather, my second grandfather, and my third grandfather have thought that your family hasn't gone alone for so many years. It must be that the production team will not allow me to leave. My grandfather is old and can't walk far away. In early summer, he would think about coming and have a look. If my cousin can go and see, I don't know how happy my grandfather will be."

Since I said this, Liu Baiquan next to me quickly continued: "I can't go before the New Year this year, but after the New Year, it may be the fourth or fifth day of the lunar month. As long as it doesn't rain or snow, I will designate to take your cousin to wish you a few uncles a happy New Year."

It is difficult to walk in the mountains. It is dangerous to catch rain and snow, so it can kill people. Liu Baiquan dares not show off this hero.

"Hey! OK! Cousin, you like to eat sour bamboo shoots. I'll ask my mother to keep a few jars and bring them back to you to eat."

Zhu Linglong was a little anxious when he saw them talking: "Chengshu insisted on waiting for everyone to come and eat. It's not in a hurry to wait for the cold. You can eat quickly. Lao Liu is going to buy meat later. My eldest daughter-in-law and I want to kill geese and chickens. Chengshu, don't worry about the corn, my eldest daughter-in-law and I stayed with me. We have many relatives here, and the family let them stir-fry and stir-fry for the children to make snacks, but it's not enough. I guess you're afraid you'll have to run again and send two packs of rice. For this rice, don't do anything to measure three liters of corn. As long as you and your nephew and grandson can carry it, you can carry it back as much as you can. After our family handed over the public grain, the surplus grain is still too much, not a few loads."

Zhu Linglong dared to be so generous because the elders wanted to rely on them as much as they wanted. Back then, this uncle's family saved their lives. Now, let alone the family has this support, even if they don't have it, they have to borrow a few tans of rice to bring back as much as possible for their cousin and nephew.

"How can this work? It's absolutely not possible. I can only change it with others, otherwise I will beat me to death if I go back."

"Stop talking about the tree, just listen to your cousin. You will have another day tomorrow and take a break. I will send you out of Shiqiao Town the day after tomorrow. There are many small roads, so I can save some effort when I come back next time!"

When Liu Yujin arrived home, the food at home was not ready, so he was a little anxious. Xie Chengshu and the others were talking about the situation of each family for so many years. Liu Yujin had not seen anyone from home, and of course he didn't know the situation. He shouted at his wife: "Why are you not ready yet? What are Guixiang and Minghua eating?"

"What are you shouting? You can still make them hungry! You cooked two dishes and sent them away."

Knowing that he was not hungry, Liu Yujin had nothing to say, and his eyes turned around and found out: "How do you cook so many dishes today? Who are you at home?" Looking at the small square table in the kitchen, there were six plates filled with meat and vegetables, and I was very sure.
