Chapter 48 The Taste of Poverty
On this day of the young year, the Lin Chen family lived a prosperous, happy and warm life, but in Linjia Village, more than 90% of the family did not do well.
As I said before, Linjia Village is one of the poorest villages in Guang S County, and it is also the most famous poor village in GY City. This name is not for nothing.
How poor it is, readers who have not experienced it may really be unimaginable. The younger brother wears the older brother's clothes and the younger sister wears the older sister's clothes. This is the norm. In many families, even if the clothes are too worn to wear, they are reluctant to throw them away, because the cloth on the worn clothes can still be used after cutting. Put another clothes on.
Hunger, not enough to eat, that's the norm. If there is another patient in the family, then the life of the family can be imagined. In addition, in this era, every family has many brothers and sisters, and those who have not experienced the pressure of raising a family cannot understand it.
Don't think that Lin Chen's family has earned millions of dollars in a few months, and that it is easy to make money. If you really think so, then you are very wrong, it is not easy to make money at any time.
It's easy for their family to make money because Lin Chen cheated. He is a rebirth with a plug-in on his body. Without this plug-in, he doesn't know the future development. You ask Lin Chen to try it, let alone an eight-year-old. The ignorant child is a 28-year-old strong laborer. In this era, given him ten years, he will not be able to earn millions of dollars.
Have you ever seen someone who was ill and committed suicide in order not to drag their family down? Have you ever seen a family of more than a dozen people who can only drink thin porridge that can see people's shadows? Not a meal, but a whole lot. Have you ever seen a father starve himself to death in order to feed his children?
There are too many of them. Don't think it's 2000, everyone can have enough to eat, things are not what you think.
In the previous life, the Chinese people on earth could have enough food, clothing, housing, medical insurance for sick people, and pensions for old people. Why?
That's because the government has worked so hard for decades. That's it, there were many keyboard warriors on the Internet in previous lives who were ignorantly spraying the government, blackmailing their own country, saying that their country is not good, that's not it. OK
They also didn't think about it, no matter how bad their country was, they didn't let him be hungry, cold, or sick, and they didn't let him walk on the street and risk death at any time. That's it, they're not satisfied.
I always feel that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China, but they don't realize that after they go abroad, they realize that the foreign countries that are advertised on TV are false, and the reality is not like that at all. The domestic ones are good, and if I want to come back again, I'm sorry, it's too late.
People like this, to use the words of netizens in previous lives, is to make them too full to eat, and they are all idle.
People who have not experienced poverty really don't know what poverty is like, and this kind of taste cannot be described in words.
Early in the morning on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Chen got up and heard the conversation of his parents. The object of discussion was about the Lin Dashan family, one of the poorest families in Linjia Village.
Lin Dashan, if you really think about it, he still has some relatives in Lin Chen's family. He still has to call Lin Dashan his uncle. Usually, he doesn't have much contact, but whenever the New Year is coming, they will pay each other New Year's greetings together. , According to Lin Yuanshan's statement, their family and Lin Dashan's family are considered one room.
Lin Chen also knew something about their family's situation. There are many children in the family, and the old man is sick again. The key is to get sick when he is sick. This old man is still relatively active. How should he do it?
Lin Dashan has eight brothers and sisters, six brothers and sisters, and two sisters. Lin Dashan ranks sixth. He is also married and has two children, a son and a daughter.
According to the custom in the countryside, married sons are to be separated, especially in families with many brothers.
Because if you don't separate your family, you will often have conflicts and don't talk about it, and you will also delay the marriage of the children behind you.
The family is also divided. Lin Dashan is young, diligent in his hands and feet, and also knows how to make mud tiles, so he can't get hungry wherever he goes.
The bad thing is that Lin Dashan is too diligent, honest and filial. When the family split, the old lady saw that her six sons were so honest and easy to bully, so she gave her six sons a quilt and two basins, in addition to this There is nothing more than that.
As for the house and field, that is not to think about.
Lin Dashan's daughter-in-law is also a filial person. Seeing this situation, she didn't say anything, but left the old house with her things and her husband.
The elders close to the family and the cadres of the village committee who are responsible for the separation of the family have also seen this situation a lot, and they have not said anything.
The family is divided, but there is no place to live. What should I do? I can only find the village committee and ask the village to give a piece of wasteland. The husband and wife reclaim the wasteland and build a shack on the wasteland, which is made of thatch. kind.
At this time, Lin Dashan and his wife had no children yet, so the two of them were willing to endure hardships. They were not afraid if they had nothing to eat. They dug wild vegetables and went hunting in the mountains. Gritting his teeth, he shamelessly went to borrow seeds for farming.
Everyone is poor. Who has extra seeds to lend him? Lin Dashan borrowed half of the village, and finally he borrowed enough seeds from Lin Chen's house. Lin Chen was six years old that year, and he remembered it very clearly.
The seeds were planted, and the land was planted. Because Lin Dashan knew the craft of clay tiles, he gave the fields to his daughter-in-law to take care of them, and he followed the construction team in the village to make clay tiles for people to make money. Subsidized household.
God will not treat those who are willing to endure hardships and struggle badly. That year, the husband and wife worked hard for a year, and the food was harvested. After paying the public food, the remaining food was enough for the husband and wife to eat for a year. As for Lin Dashan, he also earned some money by working outside. Therefore, the family's house was also built. There were not many houses, and three tile-roofed houses were enough for the couple to live in.
The pots and pans at home are also available, and the daughter-in-law is also pregnant. The old Chinese medicine doctor in the village told them later that it was a pair of twins.
This will soon have both sons and daughters, and Lin Dashan and his wife are more motivated. He does not need to manage the work in the field. He is only responsible for working and making money. It is his daughter-in-law who is doing the digging and sowing.
Don't think that you can't do anything when you are pregnant. In those poor times, even if you were about to give birth, there were many people still working in the fields. There were even many pregnant women who were working, and their children were born in the fields. . If this happens now, I am afraid that my husband and mother-in-law's family will be sprayed to death by netizens.
But in those days, this situation was too normal, it was all about survival, to eat enough.
In order to ensure that the nutrition of his daughter-in-law can keep up, Lin Dashan also gritted his teeth and bought more than 20 chickens to keep in his own yard. Killed and boiled soup for the daughter-in-law to drink.
It would be better if the days passed, but this time something happened. Their old lady saw that her son was eating better than her, and her eyes were hot. She called her several married sons together. How much does a son give himself each year and so on.
As for Lin Dashan, he is also filial. After all, she is his own mother. Give it to him. If it's a big deal, he will just work harder in the future.
As a result, things were given, but things were not like that. Lin Dashan was the only one who gave things. The other sons did not give a grain of grain. It was eggs, and eggs were a rarity at that time.
Of course, this situation was hidden from Lin Dashan and his wife, because all this was specially designed by the old lady to target Lin Dashan, so how could he know.
Half of the family's harvest was given to the old lady. Those days were definitely not as good as before, but fortunately, they were still able to live. In this way, Lin Dashan's son and daughter were born.
Although Lin Dashan is also very happy about the birth of his children, he has to face one thing, that is, his daughter-in-law is going to have confinement, and the work in the fields can no longer be done. He is going to work in the fields. Who will take care of it? His daughter-in-law is confinement.
Her mother-in-law is definitely not good, because she still has her own daughter-in-law to take care of, there is no way, Lin Dashan can only find his own mother.
The old lady agreed very readily, and Lin Dashan and his wife were also very happy, but they didn't know that this was another time the old lady was playing tricks. Eggs that their family has stockpiled during this time.
Killing a chicken in two days, making soup for his daughter-in-law to replenish her body, the chickens raised at home are enough for her to give birth, but the fact is beyond Lin Dashan's expectations. The twenty chickens at home are less than half a month old. They were all killed, and his daughter-in-law didn't even drink a mouthful of chicken soup, so his two children didn't have enough milk to drink.
This time, Lin Dashan didn't want to. It's okay to bully him, but not his wife and children.
So he went back to the old house and asked. It's not hard to imagine the outcome of the matter. How could the old lady do what he wanted? Not only did Lin Dashan not get the answer he wanted, but he was also given the reputation of being an unfilial son by the old lady. He was beaten by his brothers together.
Why beat him, because those eggs and chicken were all divided by their brothers, and they were eaten by their own wives and children. Even if there were still unfinished ones, how could they be given to Lin Dashan? As for Lin Dashan's wife and children Well, what's up with them.
Rural people have strong hand strength, and at that time, their legal awareness was weak, and they were not serious in fighting people. As a result, Lin Dashan was seriously injured and vomited blood.
When the old lady and her sons saw the situation, they were also a little panicked. There was a difference between beating someone and killing someone, so they hurriedly arranged for someone to be sent to the hospital.
As a result, when I arrived at the hospital, I heard that it would take a lot of money to cure Lin Dashan. The old lady and her sons were also wonderful, and they threw Lin Dashan to the hospital and ran away. Regardless of him, it was the village committee of Linjia Village notified by the hospital. This shook things out.
Early in the morning, Lin Chen's father went to the hospital with the money. After all, the relationship between Lin Yuanshan and Lin Dashan was still good, and he couldn't just watch Lin Dashan die in the hospital.
Lin Chen's mother wasn't angry about this, she was angry that the old lady joined several of her sons to beat the younger son like this, and left the younger son aside to die. She even said in the village that her younger son Lin Dashan No matter how unfilial to himself, Lin Dashan is now his retribution.
Lin Dashan is currently in the hospital, but fortunately his daughter-in-law has a sister-in-law close to his family looking after him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After hearing this, Lin Chen could only shake his head speechlessly, what can he do? Even if he wants to manage these things, he can't manage them, but an idea has arisen in his heart.
The first update, I'm late, sorry, I'm at work, I'm busy, please recommend, please collect, thank you!
