Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

"I didn't get a penny back from my last shift, so what's the point of celebrating?"

Mrs. Yao said this, but she stopped swiping oil on her hands, of course because there really wasn't much oil in this dish.

"Uh~ah..." Mr. Zhou spoke up at the right time, although he couldn't hear clearly what he said.

"Okay, okay, you are all good people, I'm the only one who's bad."

Although Old Man Zhou didn't say anything, Old Mrs. Yao still seemed to understand and kept talking to herself.

"By the way, I see why I only picked up half a basket of cinders today. Is it because I went late or because there were too few people dumping cinders?"

Zhou Jinxin quickly changed the subject. If her mother was allowed to do whatever she wanted, her mother could talk about it for half the night.

"I met those shriveled kids from the old Sun family. It was like I had never seen them before in my eight hundred lifetimes. They were all throwing everything into the basket. That is to say, my mother is here today, so I won't cut them until I see them."

Lao Sanzhou Jinling was like a tomboy on weekdays, but now she got angry and shouted loudly when she mentioned the brats in Lao Sun's family.

"You can pull me down and give me a break. You're a big girl who spends the whole day either cutting this or beating that, but it's breaking your ability."

Old Mrs. Yao was so angry when she saw her third daughter like this that she slapped her on the shoulder to tell her to calm down.

How old is this girl?If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married.

"Oh mom, why are you beating me? Did I say something wrong? Those boys from the old Sun family just deserve a beating. Do you think they are acting like this today?"

Zhou Jinling was beaten by her mother and muttered unconvinced.

"Say it again..." Mrs. Yao didn't bother to talk nonsense to her, and directly used her trump card to suppress her with force.

Lao Zhouzhou Jinling curled her lips and said nothing if she was not allowed to. He would just wait and see what she would do if they met her again.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. Remember to clean up after dinner later. Don't let a big girl go out to work with a group of old men and let people laugh." Old Mrs. Yao told Zhou Jinxin, but she was thinking about it in her heart. Why don't you go find the leader again? It's not a problem for this kid to always follow him and work like this.

"I know, there's nothing to bring." Zhou Jinxin annoyed her mother the most.

You are always afraid of being laughed at by others, but don’t you live your own life? If people want to laugh at you, if you just eat from a golden rice bowl all day long, people will say that you are showing off.

"There's nothing to bring. You have to bring towels and soap. A big girl can't go out without combing her hair or washing her face. It's ridiculous.

When Old Mrs. Yao heard what Zhou Jinxin said, she was not prepared to bring anything with her. She immediately became anxious. This girl just didn't make people feel at ease when she went out.

"I know, Mom, let's eat quickly." Zhou Jinxin quickly nodded in agreement.

After helping Old Zhou up and sitting on the edge of the kang, Old Mrs. Yao brought the bowl where the oily flowers had been skimmed off, poured all the food into the bowl, and fed it to him one bite at a time.

When everyone saw it, they quickly started moving too.

Most of the meals at this time had little oil and water, so people ate a lot. Even the youngest Zhou Jinhuan could eat two bowls of rice.

Zhou Jinxin cooked more than half a bowl of rice, but it was all gone after a while.

Xiao Wu touched his swollen belly with a satisfied look on his face.

It would be great if the eldest sister could cook every day. Her mother always cooks according to the quantity, one bowl per person, no more.

Zhou Jinxin looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table. They were really clean. The fourth boy had soaked the vegetable soup and ate it.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, Zhou Jinxin carried his small cloth bag and walked out of the yard.

"Ugh!

old man.

Do you think it's right to let the boss take over? It's not good for a big girl like her to always work with a bunch of men. "

As soon as Zhou Jinxin left, Old Mrs. Yao sat up and said to Old Man Zhou who had woken up long ago but could not move.

"Hmm -" Old Man Zhou just hummed, and Old Mrs. Yao stepped forward to help him turn over. She had done this countless times in the past few months, and she knew just by listening to his voice that the old man Tired of lying in one position.

Old Zhou turned over, and his hand happened to be still on Old Mrs. Yao's wrist. He moved his fingers to express comfort.

"I know, there is nothing I can do now, I can only let her do it first. If I can give birth to a son...

Forget it, stop talking, get up, it’s time to cook, there are still several mouths waiting to eat at home. "

As soon as she mentioned her son, Mrs. Yao quickly shut up. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would get into trouble again.

I got up and went to the kitchen, where there were a few small ones.

Old man Zhou sighed silently behind her, life was difficult.

"Captain." Zhou Jinxin came to the gathering place. At this time, most of the people had already arrived and were sitting together in twos and threes chatting.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou is here. Why did your arm hurt when you went back yesterday? Didn't you ask your mother to rub it for you?" One of the 40-year-old uncles saw Zhou Jinxin coming over in high spirits and asked her.

This child has grown up under the eyes of the adults. Just like his own children, he has nothing to shy away from, so he just said it directly.

"It's okay. I'm used to working at home. I went back and did some exercise yesterday. I don't feel too much pain today." Zhou Jinxin heard this question and replied.

She said that, but she really felt a little sore in both arms this morning, and it was better to move around now.

"Hey, who said that girl can't do our job? Look, Xiao Zhou is doing a good job." Another middle-aged man looked at her and stretched her arms as she spoke. It didn't look like she was lying.

"Okay, let's go. Today we have to go to Gao Zhuangzi to work. We have to walk for a while."

Captain Wang saw that everyone had arrived and asked everyone to set off.

"I said captain, we're going so far here, and we didn't even ask for a car to take us there. We have to walk for a long time and have to carry so many tools.

If there is a car here, we can come back today if we are too late. Why bother sleeping there all night? "

A young man couldn't help complaining.

The work they were doing was tiring enough. They had to walk for a long time to get there carrying such heavy tools. When they got there, their energy to work was gone.

He also had to stay there for a whole night, eating and sleeping in the open air.

Going out to work at this time is not like having food, drink and shelter in later generations. You have to deal with it entirely by yourself.

The conditions can be said to be very difficult.

"I asked. There are only two tractors in our section. One of them has been broken down for half a month and cannot run at all. They said they needed a technician to repair it, but they were always unavailable and they haven't repaired it yet.

The other one was driven out by the third team. Their work there was far longer than the construction period.

The rest are all small cars. There are so many of us, how can we drive all the small cars?Besides, there are only two of them, so even if you drive them out, you won’t be able to sit in them. "

Of course, Captain Wang didn't want to walk. He was already this old and had worked hard all his life. He finally caught up with a car. Who didn't want to go by car? There was nothing we could do.
