Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

"Tch, I want to introduce someone to my sister. I don't want to see who she is talking about. She doesn't even have a job yet. It would be strange if my sister could like her."

Zhou Jinling curled her lips and whispered to Zhou Jinjie.

"No, she thinks it's a good thing. Let the eldest sister stop her proud look."

Zhou Jinjie agreed, and she annoyed her second aunt. She felt that nothing she said was wrong, not to mention the matter of introducing someone to her eldest sister. The person she introduced did not need her eldest sister to tell her, but she felt that it would not be much better.

"Mom, I'm leaving first."

Zhou Jinxin's mood was not affected at all. He simply took two bites of rice and went to work.

"Ah, be careful on the road and come back early from get off work."

It was rare for Old Mrs. Yao to say so much while watching Zhou Jinxin go out.

"Sister, the unit in Jinxin is quite far away. It takes a long time for her to walk to work every day. My brother-in-law used to say that she had to walk for several hours."

Yao Yaqin watched Zhou Jinxin go out and asked back.

"No, sometimes the work is busy and it's completely dark when I come back. I'm from a girl's family. I'm really worried. But what can I do? We don't have money to buy a bicycle for our child."

Old Mrs. Yao was still thinking about buying Zhou Jinxin a bicycle, but she also knew what her family's conditions were. Not to mention the bicycle, she didn't even have anything to do with her second child.

"Oh, that bicycle is not something our family can afford. I heard that not only does it cost a few hundred yuan, but even the bicycle ticket is more than 100 yuan. It's not easy to buy and exchange."

When Yao Yaqin heard Mrs. Yao talk about bicycles, she was so excited, as if she had heard something big.

"That is to say."

Mrs. Yao shook her head. How could she not know? She was just thinking about it.

"By the way, has your team gone to educated youth this year? The second child is about to graduate. Seeing that there is no way to find a job, I thought, if it doesn't work out, I'll look for connections and see if I can arrange for her. If I become an educated youth in your place, you can take care of me."

Old Mrs. Yao thought about her second daughter again and started talking to her sister.

"Oh, don't mention it. In the past two years, we have had two batches of educated youth. One is more squeamish than the other. They are not good at work and have a bad temper. They are not well received by others."

When Yao Yaqin heard her sister ask about this, she started talking.

"Ah? What should I do if I don't earn enough work points to exchange for food?" Old Mrs. Yao didn't expect that the educated youth who went to the countryside could still be like this, so she asked in confusion.

"Those male educated youths probably have good financial conditions at home. There are always people to write letters to send things, and they probably brought a lot of money and tickets, so they are not hungry," Yao Yaqin said.

"What about the female educated youth?" Mrs. Yao was even more puzzled when her sister only mentioned male educated youth. What should the female educated youth do?

"Those female educated youths don't seem to be from our area. They are all skinny and can't be carried on their shoulders or carried by their hands. But they have good faces and can talk. When they meet someone, they have a big brother who provokes the young men in the village. He seems to have lost his soul. Not only does he help others with work, but he also always subsidizes others with his own things.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you ask me, it’s almost mind-blowing. "

When Yao Yaqin mentioned some female educated youths, her mouth was raised to the sky, and she couldn't even look down on them.

"That's just some individuals. There are always those who are conscientious and down-to-earth in building rural areas."

When Mrs. Yao saw her like that, she knew that although her words were not necessarily false, there was definitely a lot of moisture in them. She probably couldn't bear to see her and was adding more fuel to her words.

"I've seen that several people in the past two years have been like this. The ones before were fine. They were all down-to-earth and willing to work. They have been here for a long time and have no hope of returning to the city. Some of them have started families locally. "

Yao Yaqin seemed to only have strong opinions on the new educated youths, and when she mentioned the previous ones, she was somewhat complimentary.

"Okay, it doesn't matter what you do. You and the educated youth are not close to each other, so if you don't like them, have less contact with them.

You all should eat quickly and go to school as soon as you finish eating. "

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Yao went to the kang to help Old Zhou get up and sit down for a while.

"I'm full, let's go first."

As soon as Mrs. Yao finished speaking, Zhou Jinkun put down her chopsticks, picked up her schoolbag and walked out.

Just now they were talking about the educated youth, which made her feel even more upset. There is still no conclusion about her matter, so she is very anxious.

But according to her second aunt, the educated youths in their village were not easy to mess with. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, but she had no intention of going there.

"Mom, we're leaving too."

When Zhou Jinling saw her second sister leaving, she quickly dropped her chopsticks and ran away dragging Zhou Jinjie, who wanted to take a few more bites.

"Hey, these children, how old they are, are still so rude, and they don't ask to help your mother take care of them after they eat."

Yao Yaqin frowned when she saw the three sisters put down their chopsticks and left.

"Okay, they all left early this morning. I can just collect these bowls myself. You sit down and talk to your brother-in-law, and I will pick up the bowls right now."

Old Mrs. Yao watched as all the girls left, leaving Xiao Wu, Xiao Feng and Xiao Ying to finish their meals and start cleaning up after going to the ground.

"Mom, you should also be on the kang, I'll take care of it."

Xiao Wu took the initiative to help clear the table.

Who said their children are ignorant?Her sisters are busy, she is fine, she can help her mother with work.

"Sister, just sit down. Xiaowu is so old, he can do any kind of work in the countryside."

Not only did Yao Yaqin not feel embarrassed about sitting and letting a child take care of her, she even persuaded her sister to sit with her.

"It's better for me to go. There are only a few in this bowl. It won't be enough to beat them."

Old Mrs. Yao followed out worriedly.

“Brother-in-law, my sister is so spoiled, and you don’t talk about her.

Our Xiaoying can help me light the fire and cook at home.

And we, Xiao Feng, who is only two years older than Xiao Wu, go to the fields with his father to dig stubble, which only takes half a day. "

Yao Yaqin was not embarrassed at all when he praised his children.

Old man Zhou didn't say anything, but looked at the certificate of merit on the wall.

Yao Yaqin followed his gaze and saw a bright certificate posted on the wall.

"Why is there a certificate? What does it say?"

Yao Yaqin recognized the certificate but didn't know the words, so she looked at her son.

Xiaofeng, who is also a child who has just entered elementary school, looked at the certificate for a long time.

"That's right. It's just for praising the new sister. It should be given to me for doing a good job."

He couldn't read all the words on it, but he recognized Zhou Jinxin's name and the red seal on the signature.

I guess, this award is usually given to outstanding people, it should be for a job well done.

"Ah, this Jinxin is really promising."

Yao Yaqin heard what her son said, looked at the certificate again and said with emotion.

Looking back at Old Man Zhou, I suddenly felt that although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was clearly that his children were better.
