At the east end of the village, there is a small river bend!
Li Youwei and her three sisters-in-law were cutting pigweed together, and each of them had cut two large baskets full.
Since the ground was too muddy, it was impossible to do anything else, so today the men were still busy in the livestock shed, while the women were assigned to the fields to weed pigs.
The production team is like this. Unless it rains heavily, they generally won't take a break.
Whenever there is some free time, the captains have to arrange tasks for the members.
It is said that three women make a show, but now that four women are together, it will be even more lively.
What's more, the relationship between these four women is sister-in-law, which makes it even more different.
Looking at Li Youwei's slender figure, the second sister-in-law Sun Lu couldn't help but joked: "Xiaowei, I feel that you are more beautiful. No wonder my brother-in-law is becoming more and more attached to you now!"
Li Youwei's face turned red and she said, "Really? I didn't think so!"
In fact, Li Youwei also noticed that her man was different. Ever since her brothers beat Zhou Yang up that time, he had changed!
But she didn't dare to admit it. Her sisters-in-law liked to tease her the most.
If she admits it, they don't know what nonsense they will say later.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard her third sister-in-law Wang Lixia say with a smile: "You still don't admit it. Judging from your lack of energy these days, my sister-in-law will want you a lot tonight!"
"Third sister-in-law, why are you asking this?"
Li Youwei said coquettishly, her face couldn't help but turn red, like a ripe apple, very tempting.
"Hahaha, we are all a family, there is nothing bad to say!" It was sister-in-law Lin Aizhi who spoke this time.
"Seriously Weiwei, Bao'er is already over three years old, it's time for you to have another child!"
"Yes, if you become a fat boy again, my brother-in-law will be unable to live without you..."
Just as they were talking, several women saw Zhou Yang coming from a distance, and they immediately made fun of Li Youwei again!
For a time, the small river ditch was full of laughter and laughter!
From a distance, Zhou Yang heard the teasing laughter of several women, and when he saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help but walk faster.
When he came to the small river ditch, Zhou Yang first said hello to several sisters-in-law, and then said: "Is it enough to complete the task? If so, let's go back and eat!"
Li Youwei immediately said: "Enough is enough, but I want to earn more work points!"
Zhou Yang didn't say much, although he really didn't care about three cents a work minute. If he had that time, he might as well let his wife rest for a while.
But he knew he couldn't say this. Xiao Nizi was always worried about gains and losses. If he said this, she wouldn't know where to go.
"Well, let's eat first and then do it after eating!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, Li Youwei said hello to her sisters-in-law, washed her hands in the river trough, and then went to have lunch with Zhou Yang under the big willow tree.
Because he didn't cook enough, Zhou Yang didn't invite his sisters-in-law to eat together.
And they don't mind. Everyone is having a hard time these days, and even relatives don't treat each other to dinner often.
Under the willow tree, Li Youwei looked at the golden and fragrant fried rice in the lunch box and swallowed subconsciously.
"Does it smell good?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"It smells good, but isn't it a bit too luxurious? If we continue to eat like this, our family will be poor sooner or later!" Li Youwei said worriedly.
"Haha, there's so much to eat!"
With that said, Zhou Yang took out the envelope from his pocket and put it in Li Youwei's hand.
"Where did the letter come from? Is it from my parents-in-law?"
"See for yourself!"
While Zhou Yang was talking, he was pouring water for Li Youwei.
With doubts and curiosity, Li Youwei opened the letter.
When she saw that the envelope contained money orders and various bills, she was immediately shocked.
"What is this money for?"
"Well, this was sent to me by the bookstore, totaling 58 yuan!" Zhou Yang explained.
"Is this all what you earned last time?"
"Yes, I made a total of 190 yuan last time, but some of the manuscripts were not reviewed, so the balance has been postponed until now!"
"hiss!"
When Li Youwei heard this, she suddenly took a breath of cold air.
She knew that the last time her man went there for three days without even taking it home, he actually earned so much.
Doesn't that mean that if you work hard, you can earn 1,900 yuan a month?
Thinking of this, Li Youwei's first reaction was not happiness, but a strong sense of crisis.
"Why are there so many...you..."
Looking at the girl's expression, Zhou Yang knew that she was no longer confident again, so he immediately smiled and said, "Don't think nonsense, no matter how much money I make, I am still your man, and..."
"And what?" Li Youwei said nervously.
"And now that I have the ability to make money, my family's conditions are not as difficult as before, so I won't think about returning to the city!" Zhou Yang said.
Hearing this, Li Youwei also felt that Zhou Yang was right.
The educated youth in the village clamor to return to the city every day, isn't it because of the hardship in the countryside?
If the food and drink in the village are better than those in the city, and the work is easier than in the city, who would want to return to the city?
If my man's translation job is really good for a long time, he might really be able to live with me in the village forever.
Thinking of this, Li Youwei felt a little relieved, but the sense of crisis in her heart was still not eliminated.
Zhou Yang didn't explain much. He knew that it would be useless to say anything about this kind of thing. People's hearts will change over time!
After dinner, Zhou Yang did not go home, but carried the pigweed prepared by Li Youwei back to the brigade headquarters, saving a while for the girl to take over the task herself.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yang had been translating manuscripts at the brigade headquarters. At four o'clock, when the members handed in their tasks one after another, he had finished translating 8,000 words.
If this continues, Zhou Yang will be able to translate all the more than ten journals brought back from Ning City in a week at most.
But in order to avoid a gap, Zhou Yang decided to go to the county town to send the manuscript tomorrow.
At six o'clock, the last member of the commune handed over the task and after counting the farm tools returned, Zhou Yang locked the door of the brigade headquarters.
Then, he went straight to the Li family's old house!
Since he was going to have a dinner at the educated youth spot in the evening, Zhou Yang decided to go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to buy some bulk wine.
Unity Commune is five kilometers away from Babao Liang Brigade. It takes an hour and a half to go back and forth on foot.
So in order to rush for time, Zhou Yang decided to borrow his father-in-law's bicycle.
When Zhou Yang came over, everyone from the Li family was there.
"Xiao Wei just picked up Bao'er!" Li Fengnian thought Zhou Yang was here to pick up Bao'er and said immediately.
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not here to pick up Bao'er, I'm here to borrow a car from you!"
"What car?"
"Bicycle, go to the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"In the main room, go push it yourself!"
"okay!"
After pushing the Phoenix Brand Erba Dagong out of the main room, Zhou Yang said again: "Dad, I won't return it today. I'm going to the county town tomorrow to hand over the manuscript!"
"Okay, be safe!"
"Um!"
After saying that, Zhou Yang rode his bicycle and rushed to Unite Commune!
