Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

"Hey, Aunt Zhou, you're still doing the dishes."

Old Mrs. Yao had just put away the dishes and chopsticks, but before they were put in the dish rack, she saw Aunt Chen next door walking in with a rolled newspaper.

"Aunt Chen is here, come in quickly."

Old Mrs. Yao quickly put down the bowl and let Aunt Chen into the room.

"Hey, there are guests at home. I'll go back and come back another day." As soon as Aunt Chen entered the room, she saw Yao Yaqin sitting on the kang, and she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

How could Old Mrs. Yao let her go? When she saw her coming with a newspaper, she roughly knew what was going on.

"Aunt Chen, you have met her now, haven't you? This is not an outsider. This is my sister. Have you seen her before? Come sit down and let's chat together."

Mrs. Yao was very enthusiastic and greeted her to get on the kang.

"Then I'm not polite. This is not it. My second son brought the newspaper back from the factory yesterday and told me that this is an article written by your eldest daughter and it was published in the newspaper.

When I thought about it, this is a great thing. I was afraid that you didn’t know, so I brought it to you. "

In the end, Aunt Chen failed to overcome her desire to gossip. She sat down on the edge of the kang, took out the newspaper in her hand and handed it to Mrs. Yao, pointing to an article for her to read.

"Hey, I know. Yesterday, my daughter got back six yuan, which she said was the royalties for publishing the article in the newspaper.

Only then did I know that this kid had written an article for the newspaper. "

Mrs. Yao pretended to casually tell her about the royalties, but she was actually very proud of herself.

"Oh my god, just these few words written in such a big place, and I gave you six yuan?"

Sure enough, Aunt Chen was extremely shocked, as if the six yuan was an astronomical figure.

"Sister, why didn't you tell me, does Jinxin still have this ability?

Then wouldn’t your family just make it? Jin Xin is so capable, so let her write more and write every day. This is six yuan a day, six yuan a day, how much does it cost in a month? "

Second aunt Yao Yaqin's eyes almost turned into gold coins, and they were shining brightly.

"Second Aunt, what are you thinking about? Are you just writing? Besides, there are so many people writing articles, how can newspapers publish what you write every day?"

Xiao Wu, who had just entered the house, couldn't help but yelled at her second aunt when she saw her falling in Qian's eyes.

"That's right, Xiao Wu is right.

The second child in my family said that it is not easy to get published in a newspaper. A comrade from their work unit spent more than a year writing and submitting articles to the newspaper. In the end, one article was published in the middle of the newspaper and was given to two people. The RMB yuan royalties are not enough to cover the envelopes and stamps for this year. "

Aunt Chen nodded in agreement. Writing an article is not as simple as speaking.

"Huh? Only one article has been published in more than a year. That's not good. It's not a loss-making business."

Yao Yaqin quickly shook his head, and the light in his eyes went out instantly.

Old Mrs. Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

She is also quick-tongued, so why are you talking about this?

"Okay, Xiaowu, take Xiaofeng and Xiaoying out to play."

Old Mrs. Yao looked at the two children making noise on the side and said to Xiao Wu.

"Okay, I'll take them to catch grasshoppers."

Xiao Wu glanced at the scorching sun outside and said unhappily.

"I won't go. There are so many grasshoppers in our house that they will jump on people without even catching them."

When Xiaofeng heard that he was going to catch grasshoppers, he pouted and shook his head unhappily.

"I won't go either. What's the fun in catching grasshoppers?" Xiaoying also shook his head.

"They're not going."

Xiao Wuyi spread his hands and said that he had no choice.

"Take them to find someone to lay bricks."

Old Mrs. Yao looked at the two children who were jumping around and searching here and there as if they were looking for some treasure. She frowned and said to Xiao Wu, and secretly winked, signaling Xiao Wu to take them out quickly.

"Let's go and take you out to play. What's the point of being at home? There are always people playing horseback riding and fighting outside. Let's go see the fun."

Xiaowu understood and pulled them away regardless of Xiaofeng and Xiaoying's wishes.

"Go on, go out and play with Xiao Wu, don't fight."

Yao Yaqin looked at the two children and said with a smile.

Children in the village would go out to play all day long, with no adults watching and no time.

Of course, it’s also because there are more children in every household these days.

"Hey, isn't this the fifth child of the Zhou family? Who are these two?"

It was such an unfortunate coincidence that I saw those naughty children from the Sun family shortly after I went out. Each of them was carrying a basket. They had obviously just returned from collecting cinders.

"What does it have to do with you? Get out of the way." Xiaowu pulled Xiaofeng and Xiaoying around without politeness.

"I won't let you go. I heard that your eldest sister has become a cadre? Does she always bring delicious food to the house?"

Sun Xiaoliu not only refused to give way, but also took a step forward to block the way of Xiaowu, Xiaofeng and Xiaoying.

"What does it have to do with you? I won't give you anything to eat. I'm so greedy for you." Xiao Wu took a step back and shook his head at Sun Xiaoliu and said proudly.

"You stinky girl, I let you make me angry, I let you make me angry."

Sun Xiaoliu originally just wanted to ask Zhou Jinxin if he had brought anything delicious home, and see if he could get something.

Who knew Xiao Wu would say that.

Suddenly his eyes turned red with anger, and he rushed forward and pushed Xiao Wu.

Xiaowu took two steps back before he stabilized himself.

"What are you doing? Why do you hit someone?"

Xiaofeng was not happy at first glance. There was no one he dared to provoke in the village. He just arrived here today, and he could see Xiaowu being pushed around.

He rushed forward and pushed Sun Xiaoliu's hand away.

Sun Xiaoliu was also a naughty and mischievous child. He never got angry. When he saw that this boy who didn't know who dared to make a move, he called his two brothers and rushed forward.

Xiao Feng alone was no match for the three of them. Xiao Wu and Xiao Ying couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward to join the battle.

"Aunt Zhou, please go out and take a look. Someone has beaten your Xiao Wu."

Old Mrs. Yao was chatting with Aunt Chen and her sister Yao Yaqin next door when she heard someone outside the gate shouting into the courtyard.

"Oops, it's bad. Did you meet those boys from the Sun family?"

As soon as she heard the shouting, Mrs. Yao knew that it was probably the boys from the Sun family. Xiaowu was usually obedient and had never fought with anyone.

"Sister, I'll go too."

Yao Yaqin couldn't sit still anymore, and her two children also went out. Xiao Wu was beaten, and they were not much better.

"Come on."

Before she even got off the ground, Aunt Chen next door had already walked to the outhouse, faster than the two principals.

"Okay, get out of here, what are you doing?"

When Mrs. Yao arrived, Xiao Wu was still biting Sun Xiaoliu's arm and wouldn't let go.

She didn't move when she heard Mrs. Yao's voice. She just pointed her eyes at Sun Xiaoliu's hand.

"Get away." Old Mrs. Yao looked over and saw that Sun Xiaoliu's hand was still holding Xiao Wu's hair. The strands of hair on the ground had obviously been pulled out.

She rushed up and opened Sun Xiaoliu's hand, and Xiaowu relaxed.
