Chronicle of Rebirth 60
"Da Ni, Er Ni, we've finished cutting pigweed."
A group of women who were washing clothes gathered beside Daqing Lake, looked at the sisters who came down from the mountain, and greeted them kindly. What kind of life is the life of the girls, they all live in the same village. Although they like to talk about the Jiang family's affairs on weekdays, still have a little pity for those little girls in their hearts.
Jiang Dani had just come down from the mountain after cutting pigweed. She was wearing a dusty dress. The clothes were a bit too big, and it looked like a sack was wrapped around her thin body. The pannier behind her was almost bigger than half of her body, and the hemp-woven back rope was deeply pulled into the flesh on her shoulders, and a two-year-old child was fixed with cloth strips on her chest, and her withered yellow hair tied two Braids were hanging down her chest, and beads of sweat were dripping from her black and thin face.
When the two-year-old was restless, he waved his hands and kicked his legs in front of her indiscriminately. The people who watched were panicked, for fear that Jiang Dani would fall in the next second.
The little girl next to Jiang Dani is her younger sister Jiang Erni. She also has a big backpack on her back. Unlike Jiang Dani's docile and shy appearance, Jiang Erni's eyes are a bit rebellious, and her face is as big as a palm. Because of long-term starvation, her cheekbones are slightly protruding, and her eyes are terrifyingly large. Everyone who has seen her said that this girl will definitely have a great future. This sentence is not a compliment, but a bit of derogation. The little girl is too assertive and refuses to be disciplined. Who will want her in the future.
Jiang Erni held a three or four-year-old girl in one hand, she was Sanni from the Jiang family, her clothes had already been patched, she was held by her elder sister in one hand, and she put her hand in her mouth, happily pointing her fingers, just now they On the mountain, I found a clump of Dixie fruit. The small black fruit is sweet and sour, and tastes good. Unfortunately, that clump of Diren fruit has long been harmed by the children who went up the mountain, and there are only a few sporadic ones left.
Jiang Dani and Jiang Erni were reluctant to eat, so they gave the few wild fruits to the youngest Sanni and Sini. Sini was still young, so she sipped some sweet juice, and it was Sanni who ate the most. At this time, she He touched his fingers, still savoring the smell of the wild fruits left on his fingers.
Seeing her younger sister like this, Jiang Erni felt a little sad. Obviously her family's conditions were the best in the village, so why should her sisters have to live like this, while the two fat pigs of the second uncle's family can eat their food. They also wantonly bullied their sisters. Just because they are daughters?
Sooner or later, she has to prove to others that daughters are no worse than men.
Jiang Dani is nine years old this year, and she is considered a half-adult in the countryside. Grandma Miao Sanfeng and her mother Gu Dongmei are usually busy earning work points in the team, and she does all the work at home alone. Later, Miao Sanfeng took advantage of the prestige of her old man in the village to help her take over the job of feeding pigs in the team. Although she was young, she could still earn three work points per day.
Now each production team is based on the village as the unit, and each member needs to participate in collective labor to earn work points. Male labor generally earns 10 work points, and female labor generally receives 7 work points. Jiang Dahai and his wife Gu Dongmei are the main force of the production team. The two work hard, and their work points are relatively high. Jiang Dahai can get eleven work points a day, and Gu Dongmei can also get eight work points. For those who do not participate in labor, although Miao Sanfeng is getting old, she is hardworking and willing to work, and can get seven work points every day.
