Niu Xiaoqiang's four sisters have very distinctive names, from oldest to smallest, they are Niu Chunxiang, Niu Xiaxiang, Niu Qiuxiang, Niu Dongxiang, and the names of the four people are just the same for the four seasons of the year.

If the names are chosen according to their generation, their names should be a small character like Niu Xiaoqiang. Because Niu Dazhuang didn't like his daughters, he didn't rank the four of them into the family generation system, but named them according to the season in which they were born.

Not to mention, this makes the names of the four girls much better and saves a lot of trouble, otherwise they are really named according to their generation, and with the cultural level of Niu Dazhuang who did not graduate from elementary school, it is estimated that they will want to break their heads.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest daughter is like a mother, Niu Chunxiang usually loves this youngest brother very much, although Niu Xiaoqiang is stupid, but he can still distinguish between good and bad, he nodded very movingly: "Big, big sister, I'm still, it's okay." ”

Seeing the eldest sister's tanned and rough skin because of her perennial work, Niu Xiaoqiang handed the straw hat back to the eldest sister very sensibly: "I'm not hot, this, this straw hat is still worn by the eldest sister." ”

Niu Chunxiang hurriedly excused herself: "The eldest sister is not hot, so you should wear it." ”

As soon as Niu Chunxiang's words fell, the fourth sister Niu Dongxiang snorted angrily: "If the old man smokes two packs of cigarettes less, do we still need to push back and forth for a straw hat?"

Among the four sisters, Niu Dongxiang is the most pungent and the most motivated. Since she was a child, she has been determined to study hard and change her destiny through knowledge. Although her grades have always ranked first in the grade, this performance has not been recognized by Niu Dazhuang, and he strongly opposes his daughter's study, the reason is very simple: "Why do girls study so many books? No matter how good she reads, she will not be from other families in the future?"

Niu Dongxiang has a lot of opinions about his father because of his studies, and he has always called Niu Dazhuang an old man in private, and he can't see respect at all. In order to leave the small mountain village, she had a long-term struggle with her father, and when the trouble was at its worst, she even threatened to commit suicide by drinking pesticides, which frightened the whole family.

In the end, Niu Dongxiang won the struggle, finished elementary school and junior high school steadily, and then was admitted to the key high school in the county with excellent results.

Even at the critical juncture of the college entrance examination, Niu Dongxiang has to help the family do farm work every time she comes home. In order to get good results, Niu Dongxiang would bring his textbooks every time he went to work in the field, and took advantage of the time to review during the work. Her diligent and hard-working energy made Niu Xiaoqiang very admirable.

The second sister Niu Xiaxiang heard the words of the younger sister and immediately echoed: "The younger sister is right, my father is the most generous to himself and the eldest brother, and he will be stingy with a few of us, if he smokes less, I and the eldest sister and the third sister will not drop out of school before finishing primary school." ”

Niu Xiaxiang is currently working in a cotton mill, and she couldn't get in with her academic qualifications, but thanks to the help of the fourth uncle, she got a good job.

Now it is the height of summer, the weather is very hot, and the working environment of the cotton mill is very closed, so the workers can not bear it, every summer, the leaders of the factory will give the workers half a month of summer vacation.

In the past, Niu Xiaxiang was very obedient and honest, and never dared to speak ill of her father behind her back. But since she saw the world outside, she has gradually become dissatisfied with her father, and even with her father's favorite big brother.

The third sister, Niu Qiuxiang, works as a small worker in the canteen of the town's technical school, helping the cook chop vegetables and do chores. If you really want to talk about it, Niu Qiuxiang is the smartest person among the four sisters, but in order to give her little sister Niu Dongxiang a chance to get out of the mountains, Niu Qiuxiang took the initiative to drop out of school, so Niu Dongxiang is the most grateful to her, and the relationship between the two sisters is also the best.

After listening to the words of the two sisters, Niu Qiuxiang wiped her sweat and smiled: "Okay, okay, don't complain about my father and eldest brother, as long as we work hard, we may not be unproductive in the future." ”

Mother Sun Mei likes the virtuous and sensible third daughter the most, and when she heard this, she smiled and nodded: "The third girl is right, as long as we work hard, life will definitely get better and better." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Niu Xiaoqiang and sighed: "The rest is nothing, what I'm most worried about is the old man, it will be a problem for him to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and when I am old, what can he do." ”

Sun Mei is a typical loving mother with a relatively docile personality, otherwise it would be impossible to live with the grumpy Niu Dazhuang for so many years. Thinking that her little son would have no one to take care of her when she was old, Sun Mei felt uncomfortable in her heart.

The eldest daughter, Niu Chunxiang, hurriedly comforted: "Mother, if it really doesn't work, you can agree to the family affairs of the lame Wang's family, so that the younger brother will be taken care of in the future." ”

Wang Cripple, who lived in Dawang Village, more than 30 miles away, was a disabled man who later passed on the disability to his son.

Wang Cripple has a son and a daughter, and because his son was born with a disability, he has not found a daughter-in-law in his twenties. After hearing about Niu Dazhuang's family situation, Wang Lame took the initiative to propose marriage, promising that as long as Niu Dazhuang married one of his four daughters to his son, he would marry his only daughter to Niu Xiaoqiang, so that the problems of both parties could be solved.

In rural areas, this practice is called "tandan". Both sides take what they need, and it is not up to them to say who suffers, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with doing so.

As soon as Niu Chunxiang's words fell, Niu Dongxiang objected with an impassioned face: "Eldest sister, why do you have to practice yourself? Wang Cripple's son is not a good thing, he is completely a lazy and lazy rotten thing, if you marry him, the rest of your life will be completely ruined!"

Rural people don't discriminate against the disabled, but they look down on the lazy guys, Niu Xiaxiang, who has seen the world, heard this and immediately echoed: "My sister is right, if the son of the lame man is just a disability, it's nothing, but he doesn't study well, he is lazy all day long, if you marry him, how will you live in the future?" Eldest sister, you don't look ugly, you don't have any problem finding a good mother-in-law, if you really can't do it, I can help you introduce a partner in the factory, the regular workers in our factory are very popular, and the salary can be more than 30 yuan per month, if you marry a regular worker, you will be designated to eat and drink spicy food in the future!"

Niu Xiaxiang is somewhat ostentatious, she is currently the best of the four sisters, and she will be able to change from an apprentice to a regular worker in the second half of the year. The reason why she said the regular job so well was mainly to show her superiority.
