Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang wanted the shabby tricycle. It had no frame and only had a wooden board installed, but it could still pull things.

The two brothers inflated their bicycles and tricycles. Xia Mingshuang bought the inflator from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Erzhuang said with a smile: "Mom, my eldest brother and Brother Nianjun are learning to repair tires. From now on, we will cover the air leakage of your bicycle. No need for [-] cents, no need for [-] cents, just give us [-] cents at a time."

Bicycle repair shops under the supply and marketing cooperative charge [-] cents for a tire repair. Some people can repair more than a dozen holes in an inner tube, so the tires sold as scrap are useless.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "Sure, as long as you can make up for it as well as other masters."

Erzhuang said proudly: "Then take a look."

Xia Mingshuang: "You kid, don't expect me to get a tire puncture on my bicycle. Don't be clumsy."

Metal and glass are valuable items these days, so there are very few nails and broken glass littering the roads in the countryside. There are very few things that can puncture tires, but sometimes sharp pebbles on the road can puncture them.

Xia Mingshuang was worried about the two brothers riding a tricycle. The car was really weird, with big wheels, a small body, and a flat bed at the back.

However, the two brothers are still short, so riding is fine.

Da Zhuang rides a bicycle, taking Er Zhuang with him. He sits on a flat platform and holds the silk basket for New Year's gifts.

Needless to say, it was quite popular along the way, making people who were walking back to their parents' home look at it non-stop, not to mention getting jealous.

Happy Mother: "Oh, the great engineer's family has a way, and everyone on three wheels rides on it."

They had never seen a serious tricycle, so they thought this was it.

Aunt Guixiang said with a smile: "How about studying to learn culture? This is called the four modernizations!" Then she started to ask Xingfu how to study and how his grades were compared to Da Zhuang.

Xingfu Niang immediately lost her face. In the past, Dazhuang didn't study, and Xingfu's grades were better than Dazhuang. Xingfu Niang often showed off to the women in the village, thinking that she was more capable than Xia Mingshuang and could educate children.

At this time, Da Zhuang was being chased by Gu Nianjun, and he had to take charge of tutoring the first and second grade students. He was also reviewing the third grade students with Miao Miao, so his grades were naturally improving.

In this year's New Year's final exam, he ranked 12th from the bottom, which shocked his teachers and classmates.

Xingfu Niang curled her lips, "Then... I have a college student father, can he be likened to the children of our villagers?"

After Xia Mingshuang's family passed by, they saw a woman with permed bangs, a red gauze scarf, a red sweater underneath a military green cotton-padded jacket, and cotton leather shoes riding past.

The speed of the car was too fast, and the cold wind brought up hit Happy Mother's face. She groaned, "Who was that just now?"

Aunt Guixiang: "Yulian, tusk, tusk, didn't you see clearly?"

Happy Mother: "I just looked at her wearing a red gauze scarf, a red sweater underneath, and new leather shoes on her feet."

It happened that another daughter-in-law who had returned to her parents' home caught up with her. They were no longer in a hurry to go back to their parents' home, so they couldn't help but murmur on the side of the road.

"Is this coming back from outside?"

"Hey, did you sleep at a man's house last night?"

"Won't you get married in February?"

"Perhaps you have obtained the certificate?"

When Xia Mingshuang and his family arrived at Xiajiagou, the old Xia family was waiting. Sister-in-law Qiu Guofang and younger sister-in-law Tian Huaihua did not return to their parents' home because of her and Gu Yunshan, and were waiting to return tomorrow.

Over the past six months or so, the Xia family has lived a relatively comfortable life thanks to Xia Mingshuang's help.

In the past, Minghui earned less work points because of her lameness and had to rely on her father and brothers to support her. Now she helps Xia Mingshuang make fake collars and earns 30 yuan a month.

This is much more than the members of the farming community earn.

In previous years, the Xia family could get four to fifty yuan in cash throughout the year. This included Xia's father doing carpentry work for the production team and Xia's mother spinning and weaving for the production team. Otherwise, they might not have much cash.

This year they saved 130 yuan by helping Xia Mingshuang do work!

Among them were more than 100 yuan for making fake collars, and the reward from Xia's father who was introduced by Xia Mingshuang to make furniture for Zhong Lian's family.

Zhong Lian was getting married. Last winter, his parents hired a carpenter to build furniture at their home in the county town. They originally hired a carpenter and an apprentice, but when Zhong Lian heard Xia Mingshuang say that Xia's father knew how to do it, Zhong Lian asked him to help. Originally, the carpenter wanted to work as a foreigner for a while, and ate at Zhong's house a lot, taking advantage of the opportunity to ask for more wages. But it turned out that Xia's father was an honest man, and worked hard even if he didn't pay for it, not to mention that he was still paying for his wages, so he couldn't be lazy. Because Xia's father joined in, the carpenter had to show his true skills. The work that was originally impossible to finish in one winter was completed a year ago.

Xia's father also earned around twenty.

The Xia family had a prosperous year this year. They were not only full, but also well-fed. The production team distributed the meat. Xia Mingshuang also sent two kilograms of meat, a dozen frozen fishes, and snacks to his two brothers. .

In addition to food, the big and second bedrooms are also divided into more than ten yuan. In previous years, it was great to be able to divide three to five yuan. This year, we are really rich.

Xia's mother would often tell her sons and grandchildren how to thank her aunt and remember her kindness. If it weren't for them, the family wouldn't have enough food, let alone such good food, and don't dream about new clothes.

At this moment, seeing my aunt and her family coming, my nephews and nieces happily gathered around and paid New Year greetings one after another, shouting: "Happy New Year to my aunt, happy New Year to my uncle, brother, sister, brother..."

Xia Mingshuang asked Miaomiao Dazhuang to give candy to the children, two yuan per person, and also share the new year's money, two cents per person.

She knew that this summer her mother would also give each of her children two cents of lucky money, so she also gave two cents, not exceeding her mother's, to avoid comparison among the children.

Tian Huaihua made money with Xia Mingshuang, and it was legal money that no one dared to catch. She was more active than Xia's mother and Xia Minghui. She stepped forward and took Xia Mingshuang's arm and walked in, "Sister, be careful where you step, slow down." Click away. We are looking forward to your arrival."

Xia Mingshuang saw her holding her huge belly like a greeter, and hurriedly supported her with his backhand, "You are so heavy, come in and rest quickly."

The baby is due in two months.

Tian Huaihua: "My mother came to see me, and I didn't even wait to welcome her out. Isn't this my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law?"

Xia Mingshuang: "..." You really dare to say that.

She quickly changed the subject, "Are you twins? Their bellies are so big."

Pregnancy tests are not popular at this time. As long as nothing happens during the process or the delivery is not difficult, you can do it at home and generally don't go to the hospital.

Xia's mother: "Please ask an experienced old woman to take a look. They are either twins or... older."

Xia Mingshuang was a little worried: "If the baby is too big, I'm afraid it won't be possible to give birth, and I'll have to have a caesarean section." She said to Tian Huaihua, "I think you usually eat less and move more, so that it won't be difficult to give birth."

Xia's mother and Xia's father are both kind people, and they never treat their children harshly. They also treat their daughters-in-law equally. As long as there is food in the house, they will take care of the pregnant women and children first.

Sophora japonica has been eating a lot in the past six months. She looks plump and plump. In this day and age, she can eat so plumply. Her little life is really good.
