004: Same Surname, Different Fate!

Xia Xiaolan's biological father, Xia Dajun, is a fool who can do anything but never speak.

Fighting for water canals and fields, Xia Dajun is strong and strong, and it is a good gun that the old Xia family points to.

Xia Xiaolan thought, Xia Dajun is almost a big head and has no brains. He only cares about the big family and doesn't care about the small family. It really is a big club. Of the three brothers of the Xia family, Xia Dajun came in second and was the only one who did not have a son. Xia Dajun felt that he couldn't raise his head without a son.

Even Xia Xiaolan, her own daughter, is also a loser in his eyes.

Don't blame Xia Dajun for not having the ambition of "exotic goods to live in" for Xia Xiaolan. The aesthetics of the times are limited. Xia Xiaolan is good-looking, but her charming appearance is only liked by young descendants, but the elders of the descendants don't like Xia Xiaolan's appearance. At first glance, it is uneasy at home, and the whole family who gets married and disturbed is uneasy.

On the contrary, Xia Xiaolan's cousin Xia Ziyu, with an oval face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks dignified and dignified, who doesn't say she looks like a good girl?

Xia Xiaolan is a scumbag. Xia Ziyu was not particularly smart when she was a child, but she suddenly became enlightened after finishing junior high school. He hates his biological daughter, but he loves his niece very much.

Xia Jiaqingzhuang went to repair the river embankment, but also to earn living expenses for Xia Ziyu... Xia Ziyu took the more than 500 yuan that the Xia family put together to go to Beijing. The Xia family was afraid that she would spend a lot in Beijing, and the whole family was like an old scalper. Just as hard work to support Xia Ziyu, a college student.

Xia Xiaolan was miserable, she didn't even go to the hospital when she hit a pillar, and let the barefoot doctor at the health station wrap her wound casually.

It's really the same surname.

Thinking of the original owner, President Xia wanted to sigh.

Her cousin, who is excellent in both character and study, is very difficult to deal with. The country people have no knowledge or understanding, but President Xia knows that there is no tuition fee for college in this era. Instead, the state will give each college student a monthly living allowance. This money There is no problem in solving personal life... In 1983, I went to school with 500 yuan, which is definitely Bai Fumei's treatment.

Xia Ziyu enjoys the treatment of Bai Fumei, and Xia Xiaolan has no objection.

But I saw a group of Xia family members just now, none of them are as thin as Liu Fen, who can't squeeze two taels of oil into the pot, but Xia Ziyu's mother, who is also wearing patched clothes, has a very ruddy face, and her hands are not like Liu Fang's. Thin as a wood full of small cracks.

The one who was squeezed the most was the Xia Xiaolan family.

Xia Dajun is willing to be an old scalper, but Xia Xiaolan is not convinced for Liu Fen.

"My dad is back, let's see how he chooses, whether he wants a niece or a daughter."

I don't know if Xia Dajun heard the news about Xia Xiaolan's collision with the pillar. This man will always come back after finishing his work. Xia Xiaolan decided to give the original owner's father a chance.

Liu Fen heard something wrong, afraid that Xia Xiaolan would fight against her father: "Of course your father loves you, your cousin is..."

Xia Xiaolan smiled, and Liu Fen lost her confidence in her own words.

The nephew is more hurt than the daughter, and there are often in the countryside. But Liu Fen has never seen her love her niece more than her own daughter. Xia Dajun really didn't like Xiaolan, because the birth of Xia Xiaolan made Liu Fen's body hurt and could not continue to give birth, so Xia Dajun blamed his daughter.

The mother and daughter fell silent.

Xia Xiaolan looked at the dilapidated house, "I'll go pick up some firewood and come back."

She wanted to observe Dahe Village by the way, to see where she could get some money. Without money in her pockets, she would have no confidence, and even the best plan could not be implemented.

Dahe Village is very poor.

Of course, in 1983, there were no two impoverished villages in the country.

Poverty is a deep-rooted legacy left over from the geographical environment and history, and it is also a limitation of the times.

The sun was setting, and there were several women washing clothes by the river.

Dahe Village, as the name suggests, a big river flows through the village. When it comes to resources, it is reasonable to say that the fish in the river belong to no owner, and they can be sold for money when they are picked up. It is not that the villagers dare not go to the city to sell fish... fish are Naturally raised, this section of the river belongs to the village and is the collective property of the villagers. Occasionally catching a few fish to satisfy their cravings is fine, but not selling them.

Xia Xiaolan has no psychological pressure to secretly catch fish to sell. The only thing she and Liu Fen have is the 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes. What is the moral habit of starving to death?

It's a pity that she doesn't have tools, and she doesn't have the skills to catch fish with her bare hands.

The banks of the river are covered with white reeds with thick poles and tall plants. In May, Xia Xiaolan might be able to squeeze some reed leaves and sell them to people in the city to make rice dumplings. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is over, this is not something the people urgently need. Not even money.

Weave mats, weave baskets to sell?

In the memory of the original owner, the people of Dahe Village knew a lot of this craft, and every family would make straw mats and baskets during the slack farming season. In the countryside, the price is definitely not high, and in the city these things are also uncompetitive. People are not interested in folk handicrafts these days, and the urban people are eager for meat, eggs, milk and other agricultural and livestock products.

Xia Xiaolan stared at the river in a trance. Could it be that she was sitting among the executives of a big company, and could she starve to death in 1983? If she wants to leave the Xia family, she must have the ability to support herself and Liu Fen. Before she runs out of 20 catties of sweet potatoes, she needs to get a starting capital.

The country is no good, she has to go to the city to find opportunities.

Only the circulation of goods can bring benefits, and the rural people have no oil and water. Except for industrial products such as matches, soap, and fertilizers, the rural people in 1983 were completely self-sufficient... Several women by the river pointed at Xia Xiaolan.

While thinking about making a living, Xia Xiaolan picked up dry branches by the river, how could she have time to talk to those long-tongued women. She doesn't want to waste her energy fighting people

Noisy, I took a few more steps to the reed beach next to the cowshed. The smell was so strong that the villagers who cut the reed poles were reluctant to come.

Xia Xiaolan walked a few steps deeper, and two wild ducks flew out from the reeds.

They flapped their wings and quacked again, as if they were leading Xia Xiaolan to chase them. Xia Xiaolan's eyes lit up, how could she be deceived by two wild ducks?

Sure enough, she carefully searched in the reeds and found a very hidden duck nest.

In the nest made of soft grass, duck eggs with green shells are crowded into a pile. Mr. Xia, who has signed hundreds of millions of contracts, smirked at a nest of wild duck eggs, picked them up one by one and lit them to the light, all of them were fresh eggs that were not half hatched.

There are 12 in total!

That's right, she relies on the reeds on this beach, and she will be able to survive in 1983. Resisting the urge to continue sweeping the reed field, she carried 12 wild duck eggs and returned to the old house with a pile of dry wood.

"Mom, shall we bake sweet potatoes?"

When you are full, you have the strength to work.
