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

Erzhuang smiled and said: "Mom, the autumn harvest has begun. I have no homework now. I have autumn vacation in two days."

The autumn break lasted for more than a month, and I was so happy.

Xia Mingshuang: "Then continue to make sorghum, and we have to wait for the broom to be tied."

Kerosene is so expensive, so you can’t waste time lighting it up anyway.

Liu Xiaoxia saw that Xia Mingshuang refused to take the hard way, and didn't care that her parents-in-law fainted because of her anger, which would seriously damage her reputation, so she had no choice but to leave.

She did not leave from the front street, but went around to the back of Xia Mingshuang's house to eavesdrop, hoping to hear Xia Mingshuang say bad things about her to her children.

After listening for a while, I heard that Xia Mingshuang asked the children to read more books, and asked Xiao Zhuang to learn literacy from his sister.

Liu Xiaoxia curled her lips, you look stupid, what's the use of studying now that you're going to the countryside?

When she was going east, she happened to meet Zhang Lezi.

When Zhang Laizi saw her, he turned around and ran away.

Liu Xiaoxia was immediately alert: Xia Mingshuang wouldn't have an affair with Zhang Lezi, right? Could this leper want to have a private meeting with Xia Ming? Otherwise, why would he be afraid of himself and run away when he saw him?

Oops, it turns out that Xia Mingshuang was not having an affair with Song Yanmin, but was having an affair with Zhang Lezi?

Liu Xiaoxia felt that she had discovered a great secret, and immediately rushed home to discuss it with Gu Yulian.

After Liu Xiaoxia left, Xia Mingshuang thought about it. It was a bit unkind to let the two children dig straw. After all, she was a modern person and could not see child labor. But it's not worth it to ask Zhao Juying to help clean it up. After all, the straw is not of much use to your own family. After you take it back, you will exchange it for others. You won't earn many work points and still have to pay for it. It's really not cost-effective.

Finally, Xia Mingshuang came up with an idea, and she immediately went out to the production team room to find Accountant Liu.

Accountant Liu can usually get full work points without working, but he has to be on duty in the office during the day and night. He has to convey all the instructions and work arrangements from the commune and the brigade. He is also busy every day with the village accounts and work points integration.

After dinner, he returned to the office and was busy recording the work points for the past few days.

When Xia Mingshuang passed by, he saw a kerosene lamp made of a drip bottle burning in the office. The wick was very thick and the flame was brighter, but the soot was also rising up.

Gujialing hasn't received electricity yet.

Only the public are willing to burn kerosene like this, while ordinary people are reluctant to light kerosene lamps at night unless there are special occasions.

In the dim light of the office, Accountant Liu was crackling his abacus.

The production team leader and several other men were also talking nearby, talking about topics such as the weather, autumn harvest, fertilizers, work points, and commune rewards.

Suddenly seeing Xia Mingshuang appear at the door late at night, the men were all shocked.

This woman is so handsome. Standing at the door so late at night, it feels like you are seeing a living goblin. It is really thrilling.

Xia Mingshuang was neither humble nor overbearing, and directly stated her purpose of coming. She wanted to exchange the sorghum straw from her fifth plot to those who needed it, and she could exchange work points or grain according to everyone's market conditions.

Now that the autumn harvest is in progress, no one has much leftover food, so they all pay for it with work points.

Although Captain Gu didn't like Xia Mingshuang, he still agreed to help her ask.

Gu Heping happened to come over, and he came just because of the matter about the rice straw. The roof of his wing house was damaged by heavy snow last winter and had a hole in it. After half a year, it was no longer enough and the roof had to be repaired.

If you want to repair it, you have to tear off the roof and tie the rafters with straw again, and then cover it with mud grass. Of course, the best thing is to cover it with tiles. Without tiles to protect against rain and snow, the roof made of wheat straw and thatch will easily rot when it rains or snows. If it is exposed to the sun, it will become crispy and useless.

He came to the team room and told him that this year's production team's straw would be lined up for him and he would buy it with work points.

Hearing that Xia Mingshuang wanted to change, he smiled and said: "I just need it, sister-in-law, please change it for me."

His family also saved some last year, and together with Xia and Ming's family's savings, it was almost enough.

The work points exchanged are clearly priced, and according to the production team, no one takes advantage.

Xia Mingshuang: "You can change it, but it's all in the ground. You can cut it yourself."

This way she also saves money on finding someone to collect the straw.

Everyone: "..." This bitch!

Gu Heping didn't mind. He was young and strong, so half an acre of land was nothing to him.

Gu Heping didn't waste any time. He asked Liu Hui to plan the work points on the spot. He turned around and went home and asked his two brothers to pull a wooden cart and go to their own fields to dig straw under the moonlight.

Country people are reluctant to light oil lamps. It is common for them to work by moonlight, and there is nothing wrong with doing it out of habit.

The next day, Xia Mingshuang got up and opened the door, and found a lot of stubble roots next to the courtyard door.

The roots of sorghum and corn have many fibrous roots, which look like many forks. They are good firewood, and no one wants to waste them these days.

Gu Heping's family had no shortage of firewood, but he thought that Xia Mingshuang's share of firewood was limited because she didn't have a job, so he gave this part to her. His family only needed straw.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and saw that outsiders were so polite and reasonable, but his parents-in-law were full of despicable calculations.

After looking after him like this, Gu Heping is as worthy of friendship as the third aunt!

Da Zhuang had originally planned to go digging straw today, but since it had been replaced by someone else, he had no choice but to give up.

Soon after the autumn break, Dazhuang led Erzhuang to work in the production team.

There are many autumn harvest projects, and there are many activities suitable for children.

Children can participate in picking cotton, cutting livestock grass, picking mung beans, picking peanuts, etc., and strong children like Da Zhuang can follow in breaking corn and cutting sorghum.

Gu Nianjun can earn six work points a day, Da Zhuang can earn at least five, but Er Zhuang can only earn three or four.

Xia Mingshuang refused to let Miao Miao go. She had never done any work in her previous life, so she naturally refused to let her daughter suffer physical hardship.

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang also agreed, but Miao Miao refused to stay at home. She went to pick up cotton. Girls have an inherent advantage in picking up cotton.

When Old Mrs. Gu and Old Man Gu knew that Xia Mingshuang took it upon herself to exchange the straw for Gu Heping, they were naturally angry again.

Mrs. Gu got angry and asked Gu Yulian to send a telegram to Gu Yunshan, telling him not to send any more money to Xia Mingshuang, but to send all the money to her!

Speaking of which, it took seven or eight days longer than usual this month and I still haven’t received the remittance. Is something going to happen?

Two days ago, she asked Gu Baoshan to call, but it turned out that the long-distance call to the capital was very difficult, and the call failed for a long time. The call finally got through the next day. It turned out that Gu Yunshan was not in the unit, saying that he was on a business trip, and he had been very busy recently.

With no choice, Mrs. Gu could only ask her daughter to send a telegram to her son.

It seemed that he could vent his anger by sending telegrams to his son, forcing him to go home, divorcing his wife, and not giving Xia Ming double money.

As a result, as soon as Gu Yulian went to the post office to send out the telegram that "my parents are very angry with my sister-in-law and my parents are not allowed to send money to her anymore", the remittance slip came from the post office.
