The years in the ravine are quiet and long, except for the glory of the sun and the moon, everything is a little gloomy.
Entering the barren land is a unruly, Juanzi's hometown, there are really many such unruly.
Juanzi's mother is such a person.
Juanzi gives the impression that her mother's face is cold and her high cheekbones are a little mean. She always wears a gray jacket and can't tell the old from the new.
The neighbors frowned at the mention of Juanzi Niang, and everyone was afraid of her. If anyone in the village annoys her, she will stand on the high slope of the village entrance and scold for three days and nights, just like beating chicken blood.
At home, Juanzi Niang also complains all day, complaining that she doesn't have a good child and complaining that her man is incompetent. Most of the time, she is cursing and rarely smiles on her face.
Only when Juanzi's father came back from working outside and handed a pile of money to Juanzi's mother, Juanzi's mother would have some smiles on her face. That smile was like a blooming chrysanthemum, without any aesthetic feeling, just a philistine.
Such a smile won't last long, and it will become an endless quarrel.
Juanzi Niang's tone is extremely high, so high that people tremble in their bones.
However, in the quarrel, before the first month, Juanzi's father left again.
On the day of leaving, the war was over, and Juanzi Niang was busy in the kitchen, serving a bowl of fried rice with eggs.
This bowl of fried rice with eggs is Juanzi Niang's specialty, a bowl of rice, an onion and an egg.
The egg is yellow and light, and the onion leaves are lined with white rice grains, which is particularly attractive.
Even the fragrance seems to spread for a long time. Juanzi will smell it from a distance and then run home in a hurry.
When she entered the room, Juanzi's father touched her head and put some into her bowl. At this time, Juanzi's mother would frown: "This child can't eat at home. If you go out, don't let her. "
Juanzi was wronged in her heart, but she and Niang couldn't eat anything. All the year round, there was only steamed corn bread and pickles.

The results of the senior high school entrance examination have been announced.
Juanzi was admitted to a key high school. The high tuition fees made Juanzi mother swear it again, and the rude words made Juanzi feel desperate.
Yes, she knows that the tuition fees of key high schools make families like them stop. Their family only depends on their father, and their mother watches and studies at home. The only two acres of fertile land in the family is only enough for the couple's rations. It's good to eat according to the weather and not be hungry.
After a long hesitation, Juanzi said, "Mom, I don't want to read!"
"What?"
Juanzi niang zheng, almost couldn't believe my ears.
Juanzi tried to swallow the bitterness in her throat: "I told you, I don't want to study. If I go out to work and save money, life at home will be better ... "
Juanzi's words haven't say that finish, Juanzi niang slap then shout to come over, straight Juanzi braid on the head.
Juanzi's brain "om", everything, all blurred, even the ear niang sonorous voice, can't hear you.
How did that day come about? Up to now, Juanzi is still a little vague. Mother has been scolding, scolding Juanzi for not being sensible, and scolding herself for her hard life. ...
Although I have been scolding for so long, I still continue to learn.
Juanzi Niang waited for a day in front of the principal's office with the poverty certificate issued by the village. Finally, she applied for day study.
So, Juanzi ran back and forth on the way from home to the city, a bicycle, her and her mother, and twenty miles of mountain roads.
No matter whether it is windy or rainy, my mother always stands there with a cold face when she leaves the school gate. The gray clothes make the whole person lose spirit.
At noon, Juanzi managed to have a lunch in the school cafeteria, where the food was varied.
Juanzi, steamed bread and pickles.
Can eat this, Juanzi has been very satisfied, she knows the situation at home, mother at home at this time, eat or the rest of her cold steamed corn bread in the morning.

After graduating from high school, the university admission notice arrived as scheduled.
Juanzi Niang was very happy and praised Juanzi for the first time.
The breakfast before leaving is Juanzi Niang's fried rice with eggs. The whole room is fragrant, and Juanzi Niang's nose and forehead are covered with sweat.
"Mom, you also eat some!"
Juanzi Niang shook her head: "When you have a future, mom will eat this every day!"
As he spoke, he picked up the hard steamed corn-bread put aside, took two bites, drank a mouthful of cold water, and said piece by piece, "Eating steamed corn-bread is good for your health. When did you see me? Are you sick? "
Seeing that Juanzi didn't eat, mother Juanzi urged, "Eat quickly, don't miss the bus. Today, mom put an extra egg! Mom is happy today! "
Juanzi was choking, with a mouthful of rice in his mouth, which had no memory. I couldn't help feeling sad in my throat and almost threw up.
The smile on Juanzi Niang's face froze.
Juanzi quickly pushed the bowl in front of her mother: "I feel sick to my stomach. This is too difficult, mom, you eat! "
Juanzi sighed: "Stop eating, wait for me, there are still some uncooked rice, I'll cook some porridge for you, and you can have some."
Juanzi hurriedly motioning with his hand: "No, no, I'll eat steamed bread. I am used to it. "
Said, grabbed the steamed corn-bread, bite two, cool steamed corn-bread is a bit thick, when swallowing, throat cut some pain.
During the summer vacation of junior year, Juanzi went back to his hometown because he had to participate in practical activities organized by the school. This is the first time that Juanzi went home for the New Year abroad after he went to college.
Pushing open the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar door, Juanzi Niang's high-pitched voice came: "If you want to marry me, Juanzi, I will bah! My family is a college student, and there are not hundreds of thousands of bride price. Can I marry her to you? "
I vaguely heard each other's voice, and then Juanzi Niang's loud voice began again: "If I don't change the bride price, I will have a daughter, and I will take advantage of you for nothing?"
Juanzi's footsteps, hundreds of thousands of bride price? In the mother's mind, was she born for the bride price? There was a sudden bitterness in my nose.

When the neighbors saw Juanzi, they were shocked and pushed Juanzi's mother. Juanzi Niang turned around and looked at Juanzi with a little surprise: "How did you come back?"
Juanzi ignored her with a cold face and entered the room.
The neighbor whispered, "Juanzi, I'm afraid I heard you."
Then came Juanzi's mother's voice: "What if I heard it? What if the girl I have worked so hard to raise wants a bride price? " I am still the same sentence, I want to marry my daughter, without hundreds of thousands, there is no way! "
Juanzi felt a chill in her heart, and the sultry weather failed to warm her gradually cooled heart.
One afternoon, Juanzi was sitting in her room. Juanzi asked something from time to time, but Juanzi didn't hear it. She snorted and passed.
The next day, Juanzi was about to leave, and Juanzi was a little surprised: "How did you come back so soon?" How much money was wasted going back and forth? "
Juanzi sneer at in the heart, money, money, or money, over the years, niang's eyes, really nothing, only money? Even she is the capital of the bride price!
Juanzi's mother stopped talking and went to the kitchen to get busy. Juanzi said with a cold face, "Don't do it, I won't eat it."
Juanzi's mother is busy beating eggs: "Eat before you go! It will be fine soon. "
When she spoke, Juanzi's hands danced up and down. Soon, the steaming fried rice with eggs was ready. Juanzi's mother regarded it as a treasure. Juanzi didn't answer. She turned her head and said, "I'm leaving."
Juanzi niang stood on the spot.
When Juanzi went out, there was a crunchy sound behind him, which was a precursor for Niang to start losing her temper.
Then, the head and face scolded one after another: "What daughters I raised here have learned to be angry with their mothers now!" No ability, no temper! What have I done? Don't come back if you dare! "
Juanzi left, more determined!
To Juanzi's surprise, things didn't end there. (Novel title: "Mother says girls need to exchange bride price", written by Mang Xiaomang. From: read some stories every day and watch more exciting content)
