Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

"Put it down, my son is also a formal worker. I have three sons and two daughters. One of the three sons works, one goes to school. The two daughters are also married. They live a good life. No one around them would envy them.

Let me tell you, although Xiao Zhou himself is good, his family conditions are not good, and Lao Zhou and his wife have no sons and only have five daughters. In the future, they will have to rely on their uncle to provide for themselves in old age. "

Although Uncle Zhao disliked Zhou Jinxin very much, his words still contained contempt for the fact that the Zhou family had no son.

"If you ask me, if a daughter strives for success, she is no different from a son. Neither of my two sons can become a model worker and advance as an individual."

Captain Wang felt envious when he thought about those people who stood on the stage today to receive certificates from their leaders.

He has worked all his life and thinks that he is conscientious and diligent, but he has not been taken seriously by his leaders.

"That's different, my son can still take care of things.

Oops, it's already o'clock, I have to go back. My second brother also said that he wants to go home and have a drink with me at noon today. I have to leave quickly. "Uncle Zhao said hello to Captain Wang and ran away quickly.

When Zhou Jinxin returned to the team with the certificate and prize, he happened to hear the conversation between Captain Wang and Uncle Zhao.

He's not unhappy either. What others want to think is his own business, so why should he be angry about such things.

"Captain, I'm back."

She pretended not to hear, and just said lightly and came back.

"Xiao Zhou, there is a commendation meeting today, so there is no work scheduled. If you have nothing to do for a while, you can go back early and tell your dad about you getting the certificate, so that he will be happy too."

Captain Wang glanced at the direction Lao Zhao was leaving and thought to himself, luckily he left at the right time, and it wouldn't be good if Xiao Zhou heard him.

"Okay, Captain, I'll go back first."

Zhou Jinxin said goodbye with a smile and took the certificate home. Her father would definitely be happy. Zhou Jinxin thought to herself and walked faster and faster.

The graduation exam was coming up in two days, and she had to find time to review when she got home.

……

"Hey, Aunt Zhou, why are you still here picking up coke? I heard that your daughter made a big splash today. She gave a speech in front of all the workers, and she said it well.

Chief Duan also personally gave her certificates and prizes. I heard that she had made some great achievements. "

Old Mrs. Yao was dumping cinders at the back door of the cafeteria under the bright sun, picking up the unburned cinders and taking them back to burn them for a while.

Even if you don’t care about it at ordinary times, you can save a lot of coal in a year.

"What kind of meritorious deeds? She is just a girl, but she is also a hard worker who does hard work. What kind of meritorious deeds can she accomplish? I couldn't help but made a mistake."

Mrs. Yao was stunned for a moment after hearing what the man said. Her daughter, which daughter in her family?

Oh, for the above-mentioned matter, it’s a big girl.

Her eldest daughter worked hard in the engineering team, so what achievements could she make?

"Ah? Really? How did I hear that she is the eldest girl of your family? Maybe they are misunderstood."

Seeing that Mrs. Yao didn't care at all, the man thought that if she really was the mother, how could she not know about it? He must have misunderstood.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Mrs. Yao returned home carrying a heavy earthen basket.

"Mom is back, please don't pick up the charcoal on this hot day." Zhou Jinxin advised Mrs. Yao when she saw her sweaty head and flushed face.

"Is that possible? If I pick up some coal every day, I can burn it for a few months. How much less coal will I buy in winter? How much money can I save?

You have to live your life sparingly.

By the way, when I was just picking up jiaozi, I met your Aunt Li. What do you think she said to me?

She said that she heard that you attended Duan Shang's commendation meeting today and gave a speech about your achievements. The Duan leader even personally gave you a certificate. "

Mrs. Yao entered the room, took a sip of the cold water that had been left to dry in the tea vat, and took a breath before continuing.

"You said this person, I told her that she must have seen it wrong, and she said she shouldn't.

I still don’t know about my own daughter? "

After saying that, he got on the kang, helped old man Zhou up who had been lying on the kang for most of the day, put a pillow on his back, and let him sit on the kang.

"Mom, Aunt Li heard you right, it's me." Zhou Jinxin watched her mother help Old Zhou up, quickly took off her shoes and got on the kang, and said while massaging his father's legs and feet.

This leg is prone to muscle atrophy if it is inactive for a long time. It needs to be moved several times a day to maintain muscle activity.

"I'll just say it.

What?

It's you?

you you you……"

Mrs. Yao didn't react at first, but when she did, she was shocked.

What the hell?Her daughter said that was her.

Did she give a speech in front of hundreds of people?

No, she just heard Aunt Li say that her daughter was commended for her meritorious service.

I have only been working for a few days, what achievements can I make?

"You kid, why didn't you tell me?

Tell me what's going on. "

Old Mrs. Yao couldn't wait any longer. She patted away Zhou Jinxin's hand that was still massaging Old Zhou's legs and asked anxiously.

"Didn't I tell you this morning that you wouldn't go?

It was nothing, I just went out to work that day and happened to catch a tractor that broke down at a railway crossing.

At that time, the phone line was broken, the dispatcher could not be contacted, the tractor could not move, and the train was coming soon, so the time was very urgent.

I moved the tractor away with the people in our team and the guys from the team over there who came up to help. "

Zhou Jinxin simply told what happened, and deliberately downplayed his important role in this matter.

What she was talking about was that she helped the people from their engineering team and the people from the production team over there to move the car.

"That's it?" Mrs. Yao looked confused.

From what she heard, by following the big guy and helping move the tractor away, she, a girl with thin arms and thin legs, was just shouting out for cheers, right?

If you cheer well, can it be regarded as meritorious service?

"Where's the certificate? What prize was given?" Old Mrs. Yao looked at Zhou Jinxin and asked.

The certificate is in the kitchen, and the prize is on the table.

Novice Zhou Jin pointed at the enamel cup that Mrs. Yao used to drink water just now.

"Huh? Just, this is it?"

Mrs. Yao picked it up and took a closer look. She saw that the back of the white printed enamel jar had big red letters "Awards to Advanced Workers" and a railway logo printed on the back.

Old Mrs. Yao touched it curiously, quickly poured all the water in the teapot into another large teapot, and placed the enamel teapot upright on the cabinet, then turned back to the kitchen, thinking Find a certificate of merit.

"Where is the certificate? Where is it?" Mrs. Yao looked around and couldn't find it, so she turned around and asked.

"Put it together with the newspaper." Zhou Jinxin looked up and answered.
