Xia Mingshuang told Xia's mother his suggestion, "Mom, my little sister's legs may be corrected. I will take her to the provincial capital after the new year."

Xia's mother didn't dare to hold out hope, "Is it possible?"

My youngest daughter's feet were a little bit crooked when she was born. When she started to learn to walk, she had an old Chinese medicine practitioner take a look at her. She applied plasters and massages, but the results were not promising either. Later, I saved up money to go to the county hospital for treatment. The doctor said that there is no cure for this kind of natural disability, just like polio, it cannot be cured.

The medical skills at that time were indeed incapable of curing the disease, so at that time there were two or three people in every village who had trouble walking.

Because there was no prenatal check-up at this time, there were also a few idiots in each village, which brought a heavy burden to their families.

Xia Mingshuang: "After so many years, perhaps the medical skills of large hospitals have made great progress."

Now Minghui's limp is obvious when she walks. Walking and standing for long periods of time puts a lot of pressure on her body. If she can correct it, it should be improved.

After saying that, they went out to help cook.

Minghui was invited by Erzhuang and others to visit their tricycle.

Qiu Guofang looked at Xia Mingshuang and whispered: "Sister, you have met Guowen several times. He is a very nice person."

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said, "It's pretty good." She didn't continue.

Qiu Guofang usually doesn't talk much and just keeps busy at work, but today she came to talk and talk about the good things about her cousin to Xia Mingshuang, "Big sister, he is a good match for our little sister."

Xia Mingshuang frowned slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, did your aunt ask you to say that?"

Before Minghui made the fake collar, the Qiu family had never introduced the young man. Why are you so "generous" now and want to introduce your nephew to Minghui?

Of course, Qiu Guowen is considered to be in good condition in the countryside. He is a young man in his early twenties, healthy, has no bad habits, and can earn full work points every day. As for his personality, Xia Mingshuang has no impression, but I think he is similar to those honest and steady young people in the village.

In the past, if Minghui found such a husband, Xia Mingshuang would have thought it was a good match, but now, the Qiu family would hardly be interested.

Minghui's feet do not affect her life and work. She is young and pretty, has a gentle and quiet personality, is clever and can make money. In Xia Mingshuang's opinion, she is a village beauty from all over the country!

Qiu Guofang's expression showed a hint of uneasiness. When her aunt told her about this, she also asked her, "Why didn't you introduce me before? What are you busy with now?" What the aunt said was, "Well, wasn't your sister-in-law still a child before?" , but in fact, what everyone knows well is to make money for Minghui.

Who is not married to? Wouldn't it be better to marry into your own family?

Seeing Qiu Guofang's nonchalant look, Xia Mingshuang didn't ask any more questions, smiled, and changed the subject.

After a while, Minghui came back to help with the cooking, and Xia Mingshuang took advantage of her sister-in-law's absence to quietly ask her what she meant.

Although Minghui was not interested in Qiu Guowen, she was the older girl who was shy. She blushed and said in a small voice, "Sister, I don't want to get married yet."

She has just been able to make money with her sister, who should she marry? She hasn't had enough close relationships with her parents.

Xia Mingshuang saw that she didn't look like she was telling lies, so he patted her and said, "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."

In order to show respect for Gu Yunshan, his son-in-law, Xia's father invited the village's party secretary, production team leader, and accountant to come over for a drink. They were educated and well-spoken, and they were better at accompanying guests than a boss like himself.

All three of them were empty-handed. Some brought wine and some brought eggs, which was a great honor to Father Xia.

The men except Gu Yunshan all smoked, and the smoke was very smoky. Xia's mother set up another table, and the women and children ate and drank by themselves, and they also poured wine.

Erzhuang ran to the men's room again and sang "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" to them. He learned this from an old man who was transferred to the brigade, which made the old party secretary and others cheer loudly, saying that this kid is really capable.

The old party secretary laughed and said: "This is called a tiger father without dogs. All the children in Yunshan are outstanding. Having more children will also contribute to the construction of socialism!"

Captain Xia also laughed, "No, we villagers have children to repair the earth, and college students have children to cultivate college students for the country."

Song Yanmin smiled and said: "You can't say that. Yunshan's parents are also farmers. It still depends on everyone's efforts."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yes, college students are not born. We must encourage children to learn from Yunshan."

Having said that, they all felt in their hearts that Gu Yunshan was a born college student and had been extremely smart since he was a child.

Especially the old party secretary, his wife is still making sarcastic remarks. His daughter and Mingshuang were originally good friends. They did sewing, mowing, and reading together since they were young. Mingshuang refused to go back after less than half of his studies, but his daughter continued to finish high school. It is said that his daughter is smarter than Xia Mingshuang, but it is Xia Mingshuang who married Gu Yunshan, the proud man of heaven, and is now living a comfortable life.

The old woman also said, "If my daughter marries Yunshan, the children born will definitely be smarter. My daughter is smarter than Xia Mingshuang."

With this in mind, he was extra attentive to Gu Yunshan, hoping to build a good relationship and try to get Gu Yunshan to help arrange a job for his younger son in the future.

Gu Yunshan's expression was indifferent. He was not impatient to socialize. Even at work, he would not go out of his way to have dinner with his boss. It was all business. However, he gave enough face to his father-in-law's family because it was a sign of respect for his wife's natal family.

Song Yanmin saw this and took the initiative to greet him, bringing the topic to the current economic situation, grain production, etc., so that the old party secretary and others would not always ask him how his work was like and how the capital was. Song Yanmin could tell that Gu Yunshan's work was confidential, and he was too busy at work and was not very familiar with places other than the machine factory workshop.

Captain Xia kept saying that it was not easy for farmers to farm the land. “The commune has Dongfanghong tractors, but there are too few of them and the brigade below can’t arrange them. If it doesn’t rain this spring, we have to haul water to irrigate the wheat, cultivate the land, and farm animals.” It’s not enough, we still have to rely on labor. Alas, those who hurry up and work slowly every year often delay the farming season.”

If there are not enough animals, manpower must be provided. Every year when the fields are plowed, men and women suffer.

The ground was still cold when it first thawed, so the members of the commune tied ropes on them and used them as animals to plow the fields. Their legs were so cold that they became diseased, which made him feel very distressed when he saw them.

Gu Yunshan looked at Captain Xia with red eyes as he spoke, and asked, "Does the brigade have sufficient funds? We can buy a small agricultural machine that can pump water, plow the land, and sow seeds."

Captain Xia's eyes instantly lit up when he heard this, and he smiled like a flower, "Brother-in-law Yunshan, we have saved some money in the past few years, but the team is not qualified to buy it. It would be good if you help us tell the leader. Very much."

Most of the agricultural machinery in the country is concentrated on large farms. In rural areas, communes can only have it, but the brigades below have no chance to buy it, and the approval cannot be obtained.

Gu Yunshan nodded slightly: "Okay."
