Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

Han Lijuan asked righteously, and her purpose was obvious-to ask her "unconscionable" daughter for money and benefits.

Seeing her so shameless, Han Mingxiu was very angry, so she wanted to teach her a lesson, so she stopped and looked back: "Auntie, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I've long forgotten their address and phone number. number, but..."

She smiled and continued: "I remember that their family lived on Huaihai Road, Aunt Su's family is a famous family, you can find out where her family is if you go there and ask casually... Otherwise, you and my old aunt and father will find it by yourself..."

Of course, Aunt Su's family doesn't live on Huaihai Road. Moreover, Huaihai Road is a famous street in Shanghai. There are countless shops and houses on both sides. Even if you live there, you can't find out.

Han Lijuan originally heard that Han Mingxiu said she couldn't remember her address and phone number. She was quite disappointed. She was about to blame Han Mingxiu. Later, when she heard that she had provided such an important clue, she smiled again.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and discuss it with your old uncle. If it doesn't work, we'll go there. The girl we raised with great difficulty can't just be lost like this..."

It's like she gave her daughter to Aunt Su for free, and didn't ask Aunt Su for money.

Han Mingxiu laughed and said in agreement, "Yeah, I really should look for it..."

After speaking, I secretly laughed in my heart: Let's go, let's go, the toll and expenses for a trip to Shanghai are more than half a year's salary for the two of you, and you can't find it when you go there. die you...

"Hey, by the way, where does it come from in Shanghai? Look at my memory, it's always so bad. What you just said earlier, I forgot all about it." Han Lijuan said.

Han Mingxiu said, "It's Huaihai Road. Otherwise, you can find a pen and paper, and I'll write it down for you."

"Yes, yes, I should write it down, or I should forget it when I look back..." Han Lijuan strove around, trying to find a place where she could get a pen and paper.

At this time, all the shops on the street were closed. Because today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are not many shops open in the first month of the year. Even if they are open during the day, the black people’s homes will close their doors early and go home to their relatives for the New Year.

"Oh, you see, there is nowhere to find pen and paper, how can I fix this?" Han Lijuan asked anxiously.

Han Mingxiu also looked around, and finally picked up a branch on the ground and wrote the words "Huaihai Road" on the snowdrift beside the road.

"Auntie, I wrote this address here. You can just copy it with pen and paper tomorrow morning. Anyway, no one has moved this word this evening."

"Okay, okay..." Han Lijuan looked at the three big characters on the snowdrift, as if she had seen her daughter, and saw a lot of money, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Then I'll go first, or I won't have a place to sleep when the hotel closes." Han Mingxiu threw away the branches, clapped the snow on her hands, and walked away again.

This time, Han Lijuan didn't stop her, but only gave way symbolically after she walked more than ten meters away.

"Hey, you really don't want to go to my house to sleep?" Before Han Mingxiu could answer, Han Lijuan continued: "Okay, it's fine if you don't go, then I'll go first, you go back to the village tomorrow, don't talk to others. Saying they saw me, so they don't talk to their wives again..."

This is because she is afraid that others will hear that she knows that her old mother is dead and will not go back to the funeral, afraid that they will despise her and call her a jerk.

It seems that Han Lijuan still knows how to be embarrassed, but she has no conscience.

Han Mingxiu ignored her and left without looking back.

After a while, Han Mingxiu found the Red Flag Hotel, which was not bad, and was still open for business.

Since the hostel is state-run, Han Mingxiu just went to work today on the tenth day of the first day. Han Mingxiu was very fortunate. He asked the waiter for a clean single room and stayed in it.

Early the next morning, Han Mingxiu took out some food from the space and ate. After eating, he took the earliest bus back to Harahai.

After arriving at Halahai Town, she hired a donkey cart with a shed next to the station and drove all the way to Sun Aotun in the donkey cart.

On the way back, while looking at the villages along the way, she secretly sighed: The changes in her hometown are so great!

I have to say that it is indeed a great feat for leaders to implement the reform and opening-up policy in China.

In just a few short years, the economy of the whole country, both urban and rural, is developing rapidly, and the appearance of cities (rural areas) has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, all the villages that I passed by from the town were basically adobe houses, and there were very few brick houses. But now, on the way, almost all the houses she saw were brick houses, and it took half a day to see one of the adobe houses.

It can be seen that the life of the peasants is indeed much better than before, and their living standards have greatly improved.

Seeing such a big change in her hometown, Han Mingxiu was very happy, and she was really proud and proud of the growing strength and prosperity of the motherland...

At the gate, she got out of the car, paid the fare, and knocked on the door.

Lily opened the door.

Seeing that Han Mingxiu was back, Xiaoli hugged her happily: "Auntie, it's great that you're back..."

Han Mingxiu took Xiaoli's hand and sprinkled it into the yard, and asked strangely:

"What about people, didn't your great grandma all move in with you? Where is the coffin now? Where are all the people?"

At this time, the yard was deserted, there was no one, and it didn't look like a funeral at all.

Xiaoli said: "Everyone is in the front yard of my grandmother's house. My uncle will not let my grandmother go to the funeral in our house, so I have to let it go out at my grandmother's own house. My father and my mother had no choice but to take my grandmother away. Stop at her own old house, where everyone is."

When Han Mingxiu heard it, he immediately understood what was going on.

Previously, the old lady had said that if the elder sister and his wife were to give him retirement, his house and the two acres of land would belong to the elder sister and them.

When they were giving the old lady old age, none of those aunts and uncles said anything, and they wished to hide in peace, but now that the old lady is gone, they want to work hard and rush to divide the old lady's part. family property.

If the old lady is sent at the eldest sister's house, doesn't it prove that the old lady is raised by the eldest sister's family, and the property must belong to the eldest sister and the two of them?

That's why he made a fuss and asked the old lady to go back to her house. It seems that his uncle and second aunt have a lot of ideas!

Before she could talk to Xiaoli, Han Mingxiu immediately turned around and went to her grandma's house.

At this time, there were not many people condoling at grandma's house. I don't know if it was because the old lady's popularity was not good, or everyone was afraid of the unlucky condolences during the first month. In the huge yard, only the old uncle's family, the second aunt's family and the eldest sister's family .

In addition, there were a few trumpet makers hugging their fellows, smoking cigarettes under the wall, and beaming at the mountain.

Han Mingxiu thought, no wonder why they didn't hear the mourning music when they entered the village just now. It turned out that they were lazy here.

Seeing that Han Mingxiu was back, the eldest sister staggered forward to meet her, hugged her and started to cry.

"Xiu'er, you're back. Grandma will be buried tomorrow. I'm afraid that you won't be able to come back, and you won't be able to catch her on the last trip to the old man's house... woo woo..."

Seeing that the elder sister's eyes were red from crying, her legs were probably numb, and she was staggering while walking, Han Mingxiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The same is the granddaughter, the eldest sister cried like a tearful person, but she couldn't squeeze a single tear out!

Han Mingxiu patted the eldest sister's back and comforted her: "Eldest sister, you have to mourn, don't cry on a cold day, your face should be chapped in a while."

The eldest sister wiped her tears and said, "I don't want to cry either, but when I think about how my grandma has been helping me with my children and housekeeping for so many years, I haven't had time to be filial and filial to her. Her old man is gone. This heart... woo woo... uncomfortable..."

Han Mingxiu twitched the corners of her mouth, unable to argue with the elder sister's words.

Well, the eldest sister has deep feelings for the old lady, and if she wants to express her grief, let her express it.

Han Mingxiu lifted the cotton curtain and entered the house, where the old lady's coffin was parked in the middle of the ground.

Seeing the old lady's coffin, Han Mingxiu took off her hat, knelt in front of the old lady's coffin, put a stick of incense on the old lady, and respectfully kowtowed three times. It can be regarded as a complete feud with the old lady!

When the old uncle and second aunt saw Han Mingxiu finished the salute, they called her and discussed with her:

"Xiu'er, just as you are back, we are still thinking about discussing something with you."

"What's the matter?" Han Mingxiu understood what they wanted to say, but pretended to know nothing and asked deliberately.

The old uncle said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's the question of your mother's burial, and the other is the house and land of your mother. Isn't your mother gone? Who will pay for the funeral expenses? Who should inherit the house and the two acres of ration fields, we must hurry up and decide!"

Han Mingxiu laughed and said, "I remember grandma used to arrange her aftermath in front of everyone in the village. Why, uncle and aunt, you forgot so soon?"

The old uncle blushed slightly, and said sullenly, "It's not that we forgot, or didn't we say this? When a person is old and dead, his son has to carry the spirit banner. Which son will carry the spirit banner and which son will inherit the family. Ye, now, the old lady's words conflict with this old rule, what should you do!"

Compared with the second uncle, the old uncle is still more shameful, and he is not as greedy as the second uncle. Although he wanted to get the old lady's house and land, he didn't go too far.

Han Mingxiu thought for a while, and said, "It's easy to handle. Since according to the rules, the son will carry the spirit flag for the old lady, then you will fight it, and the old lady's house and land will also be inherited by you."

The old uncle did not expect that Han Mingxiu could talk so well, and he agreed to inherit the old lady's house and land without any need for his words.

Before he could laugh, Han Mingxiu continued, "Since you have inherited my grandma's house and land, you will have to pay for my grandma's funeral expenses and all the expenses behind her. After a lifetime of hard work, it's time to come, and you have a falling out with your sons and daughters, although these old ladies didn't say anything, but his heart is bitter."

"In order to comfort her spirit in the sky, this funeral is a grand event. People from the whole village should be invited to mourn. The tomb must be made of bricks, and a marble tombstone must be erected. Uncle, if you can do this, I can be the master of my eldest sister and the other couple, and give you my milk's house and land to inherit, but if I can't, I'm sorry..."

"All of us in the village can testify for my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law. The old lady said that if the house and land are to be left to their couple, they can only inherit it..."
