The newly arrived educated youths are okay. They can live a better life with money and supplies from good families. But for those with poor family conditions, their families still want them to receive money and receive food by mail at the end of the year. I hope they won’t need it. Thought.
The old educated youth has been here for several years, and no matter how good the relationship with his parents, brothers and sisters at home is, the relationship has been weakened by reality. In the past, he could often receive things and money from his family in the mail, but now he never sees them twice throughout the year. Of course it cannot be counted on.
The autumn harvest gives more work points than usual. They also hope to earn more work points during the autumn harvest, but they can fight pigweed...
All the educated youth compared the situation in their minds, and no one spoke.
No, there is still someone who wants to talk.
Tao Jingjing, a newly arrived female educated youth from the same batch as Qin Xiaoxiao, had money and didn't rely on work points, so she took a step forward and said, "I'm not short of money."
Su Zhiyuan raised his head and glanced at Tao Jingjing, "You have to participate in the autumn harvest even if you are not short of money. Otherwise, I will submit an application to the Educated Youth Office of the commune, saying that you are not actively participating in labor and have ideological problems. Just don't blame me when the time comes."
Tao Jingjing bit her lower lip, with red eyes, and glared at Su Zhiyuan reluctantly, "I know, I also want to participate in the autumn harvest, but let me tell you in advance that I am not in good health and may not be of much help."
Su Zhiyuan knocked on the table, "What I want is your attitude. Do I expect you to do more work? I'm not telling you, each of you is one of them. No one of you can compare with the young men in the village. If you want If we had turned a blind eye, you wouldn’t even be able to eat.”
The educated youths were even more speechless and all lowered their heads in shame.
After sending these people away, Qin Feng looked at Su Zhiyuan with a smile, "Thank you."
Su Zhiyuan glared at Qin Feng angrily, "I'll go back to your house for dinner."
"Okay, what's the point? When the autumn harvest is over and the grain is delivered, I'll treat you to meat."
Su Zhiyuan and Luo Hongxing looked at each other and agreed with a smile.
"By the way, Mingyu's kid seems to be in a much better mood recently. Didn't his partner break up with him? He was so depressed a few days ago. What's wrong? Are they reconciled again?"
Qin Feng and Su Zhiyuan both looked at Luo Hongxing.
Luo Hongxing is close to the Liu family, and he knows more about the Liu family than they do.
Luo Hongxing waved his hand, "No difference. We said we would break up before, but Mingyu's kid went to his partner's house to inquire. He didn't see his partner the first time he went there, so he asked his partner's mother to kick him out. Later, Mingyu After sneaking there two more times, he found out that his partner had been locked up at home.
It was said that his partner's mother wanted his partner to marry a young leader from a certain committee in the city. The young boss was already in his thirties this year and had three children. A month after his first wife died, he started looking for a wife. She has to be a big girl, and she has to be educated.
His partner's mother wanted to marry her daughter to the city just to get a betrothal gift, so she naturally looked down on Mingyu.
The child didn't want to die, so her mother locked up the girl. If Mingyu hadn't gone, the child would have starved to death. "
Qin Feng took out tea leaves and made a pot of tea for the two of them, then poured it for them respectively.
"What's next? Did the child follow Mingyu to our Qinjiagou?"
This is not okay. Without a matchmaker or a retainer, it is easy for someone to take advantage of him. If the girl’s family goes to sue, Mingyu will be ruined.
Luo Hongxing took a sip of tea and spat it onto the ground, "No, how could Mingyu do that? He just gave the girl a few words of advice and told her to have a good meal, and he would figure out a solution for the betrothal gift, and then he came back.
Well, when Mingyu comes back and tells his mother, you still don’t know Sister-in-law Liu, she has a venomous mouth but the softest heart. Knowing that the child was locked up by the family in order to marry her son, and even went on a hunger strike, he immediately went to the house. All the money was taken out.
This was not enough, so he borrowed some more from me and gave the girl's family 300 yuan plus a bicycle and a sewing machine. Finally, the marriage of the two children was decided. Not waiting for the end of the year, after the autumn harvest. Getting ready for marriage. "
Qin Feng and Su Zhiyuan nodded after listening. Qin Feng said: "Sister-in-law Liu is a good person at work and a good person. She just talks a little bit. Apart from this, she has no other problems."
Su Zhiyuan continued: "Sister-in-law Liu has given us Qinjiagou some face. When she gets married, we will all go that day to give her some face.
By the way, when we pick up the bride, call some of the best-looking young men in our village and give us Qinjiagou long-wave faces. Make it more lively and let them know that our young men in Qinjiagou are no better than those in the city. Poor kids. "
"Of course. When the time comes, let my Qin Ye drive the tractor, and he will have to make Mingyu look bad."
"Speaking of tractors, I remembered. I heard that two more tractors came down from the agricultural machinery station. Do you think we still want them?"
Su Zhiyuan looked at Luo Hongxing and then at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I think I can apply for another one. There is only one tractor in the village. I usually don't dare to drive it for fear of breaking it. I only drive it out once or twice a year, so it won't be of much help.
If there was another one, there would be no need to be so cautious. "
The three of them talked a lot, and finally decided on a tractor. When the meeting ended, Qin Xiaoxiao came back with two baskets of pigweed.
A basket of pigweed is not light, it weighs more than thirty kilograms anyway. Qin Xiaoxiao can carry it on her back, but her character is delicate and frail, so when Qin Xiaoxiao goes down the mountain, she almost drags the basket on her back. , Qin Gouzi, who was carrying a basket bigger and heavier than hers, didn't even look at it.
One basket in the morning and one basket in the afternoon. After two baskets, Qin Xiao stopped going up the mountain. She even said plausibly: "I'm not in good health and I really can't do it. Two baskets is my limit. That's it. I I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow.
Besides, my uncle said that he doesn’t expect me to be able to kill many hogweeds, just to find something for me to do, and is afraid that I won’t be able to help everyone and be sad.
My brother also said, just one basket a day is enough, and he will do the rest. "
Aunt Shen, who was in charge of feeding the pigs: "..."
If you can't do it, do you still have reason?
Qin Gouzi on the side covered his face, "..."
Fortunately, he is much younger than Sister Qin, otherwise if he really married her, he wouldn't be able to support them both by himself!
They must not starve to death?
From this, Qin Gouzi concluded a truth: You cannot marry a beautiful wife, and the more beautiful a woman is, the less good she is at work. In the future, when looking for a wife, he must find an ugly one, who is at least capable and will not starve to death.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that because of her series of naughty tricks, she brought a good child to a wrong place. When Qin Gouzi grew up, he actually married a mediocre-looking daughter-in-law. For this reason, he still despised the parents. It's too beautiful to take out.
