Xu Yin's third grade of high school took a city-wide joint exam a year ago. After the exam, she had to make up for nearly a week of classes before going on winter vacation.
After her sister-in-law gave birth safely, she was devastated, and then devoted herself to the final review. She performed well in the final exam this time, and even she felt that she was doing very well.
On the way home, I met Xu Jianjun.
He was holding a big grass carp in his hand: "Yin Yin, I'm going to your house."
"Bring fish to my house?" Xu Yin joked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, this fish was really given to her, not only the fish, but also ten dollars.
"The teacher in my mechanical class saw your drawing and said it was of great use. He applied for a twenty yuan scholarship for me, but I can only give you ten yuan." Xu Jianjun scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
The remaining ten yuan will be spent after paying the tuition and fees for the next semester, and then buying cakes and candies for my nieces and nephews at home.
Xu Yin took the fish but didn't ask for money.
She is now very rich. Her elder brother not only reimbursed her sister-in-law for all her expenses while she was hospitalized, but also gave her an extra fifty to buy a new set of clothes for the Chinese New Year.
Including the commission on clothes in the past six months, it's a little over two hundred.
"If anyone asks about this blueprint in the future, just don't mention me."
Xu Jianjun felt puzzled: "Why?"
"I don't want to be famous." I don't want to be investigated, I don't want to be studied.
But Xu Jianjun couldn't figure it out. Isn't being famous a good thing?
"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong!"
"..."
He was speechless for a moment, paused, scratched his hair and said, "But I seem to have told the teacher about your modification of the bicycle. What should I do?"
"Cold salad!"
"..."
Xu Yin had a headache, but fortunately she had thought of a way to deal with it in advance, so she wasn't too worried.
Whether it is her or the original owner, physics has always been great.
The original owner was not good at math, and now she has caught up with him.
From the looks of it, he looks like a typical science student. He has an above-average IQ and is interested. He can understand blueprints and successfully modify a bicycle. Who says it’s not possible?
When I got home, I saw Xu's mother returning from buying a jar of maltose.
"Mom, are we going to make rice candy? When will we make it?"
"Your brother will do it whenever he has time."
Oh, her eldest brother has been either chopping firewood or making briquettes these days, and wants to stock up on more firewood for the family. When spring comes, his wife will go to join the army.
Regarding joining the army, Mrs. Xu was actually a little undecided.
If it was half a year ago, she would have gone without saying anything.
But now...
"Little sister, if I leave, will we still accept the clothes order?" If we don't accept it, won't we lose money?
"Then I definitely won't answer it."
The most critical point in the plot has been passed safely. After joining the army, there is no chance to be taught by the mother-in-law. What else is there to worry about?
The main purpose of letting my sister-in-law make clothes is not to make money.
"Sister-in-law, if you want, you can continue after you go to the army. As soon as you put on your newly made woolen coat, someone will definitely come to ask you, and business will come."
After hearing Xu Yin's analysis, Sister-in-law Xu no longer hesitated and happily prepared for the New Year and packed the luggage she would bring after the spring.
Xu's mother was unhappy with her daughter-in-law's joining the army.
He called his daughter into the room and wanted to twist her ears: "You silly girl! Why did you agree to your sister-in-law to join the army? She made clothes at home and gave most of her money to the family. When she went to the army, she didn't earn much from making clothes. Did she pinch her hand?"
Xu Yin picked her ears: "Mom, don't speak so loudly, be careful that my sister-in-law hears you."
"What's wrong? I wanted to tell her in front of her! Our family is not divided. Whatever you earn should be handed over to me. You shouldn't have started that way and let her take a commission. This is good Now, her ambition is here! I don’t think she wants to go to the army to take care of your brother. She just wants to make money! After making money, she doesn’t want to give it to the family, she wants to keep it in her own hands! "
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth.
To be honest, she doesn't understand the thinking of the older generation. Isn't it a good thing that her son and daughter-in-law earn more and live a good life?
She patiently analyzed it for her mother: "Look, which family in the village has a capable sister-in-law? Whose daughter-in-law earns more than ordinary workers every month? The more my sister-in-law earns, the easier my brother's life will be. He sends the allowance to Come here, you don’t have to worry about him having no money to spend. What a great thing! It’s equivalent to my sister-in-law making money to support the family, and my brother making money to support you two...and me."
Xu's mother was still unwilling to give in: "I'm afraid that she won't give your brother flowers, and she will waste the money by herself."
"No, she still has two children to raise! If you stay at home, you have to help her take care of the children. If you go to the army, you and your father can relax. When I get into college, I will take you and your father to my university. Isn’t it nice to play in a city where you want to play for a few days without having to worry about no one at home to take care of the kids?”
Xu's mother gave her a funny look: "It sounds like you will definitely pass the exam."
"I'm sure I'll pass the exam! It just depends on whether I go to the big capital or the sea city."
Xu's mother was coaxed by her: "Okay, then mom will wait!"
"You still don't believe me!" Xu Yin pretended to be annoyed and stamped her feet, "Huh! I won't tell you anymore. I'll ask my sister-in-law to learn how to make clothes!"
"Go, go! It's best to learn all her skills. If you don't pass the exam, you can still make money by making clothes at home."
"..."
Does her mother really not believe that she can pass the exam?
In any case, with Xu Yin's enlightenment and comfort that day, Xu's mother no longer objected to Sister Xu's joining the army.
The old Xu family had the most prosperous and harmonious reunion year in history.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the whole family put on new clothes. When I walked out, I was envious of all the aunts and daughters-in-law.
Men's sense of new clothes is far less strong than that of women, but they can't stand the women at home nagging them in their ears. When they met Xu Zhinian, they couldn't help grinding their teeth - they thought they were bought with his salary.
Xu Zhinian took the blame, but he still didn't know why. He spent the entire first month of the new year being looked down upon by the elders in the village, and he just felt baffled.
On the day of the second grade of junior high school, Xu's mother took Xu Yin back to her natal home, and Xu Zhinian took Doudou to Sister-in-law Xu's natal home.
Sister-in-law Xu's parents' house is not very far away, but it is close to the sea, either on tidal flats or saline-alkali land, and there is no public transportation. It takes at least more than an hour to ride there.
poverty! Poorer than Da'ao Village! The return gift is usually a handful of kelp or a handful of mud snails, which is very unpopular with Xu's mother.
Back then, if it hadn't been for the marriage matchmaker of the uncle's eldest daughter-in-law, who praised Sister-in-law Xu so much that she was so outstanding and capable, and the most important thing was that she had a big ass and was good at giving birth, Xu's mother would never have thought of finding such a poor in-law.
After Sister-in-law Xu married into Old Xu's family, she was so criticized by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law that she almost did not dare to return to her parents' home.
This year, because I had a son and saved some money, I couldn't help but want to see if my parents' family was okay. When I go to the army in the future, it will be even harder to see him.
But she had just given birth and had to breastfeed her second baby, so she asked a man to make a trip.
Xu's mother curled her lips when she saw this, but the gifts she brought to her daughter-in-law's parents' house were not her money, so she didn't say anything.
