Travel through 1972 with a space mall

In May here, everything is full of vitality. All the production teams in the village are busy with spring planting, and the family's private plot is also busy planting beans, eggplants, peppers, leeks and other vegetables.

"Mom, come here and have a rest. Mingyuan said he would come back to plant in the afternoon, so please stop working." Su Jiao shouted while holding her waist and standing on the private plot of land at home.

Su's mother had been busy planting vegetables and sowing seeds on the Ye family's private land since she arrived in the morning, and Su Jiao couldn't stop her.

It's past ten o'clock now, and I have been busy for more than an hour.

"It's okay. Mom will be done soon. You go home and rest first. Your legs will swell again after standing for a long time."

Mother Su straightened up and wiped the sweat from her face and said.

The two mothers were more stubborn than the other, but in the end neither one persuaded the other. Su's mother continued to finish planting the vegetables. Su Jiao did not go back to the house, and kept standing on the ground waiting for Su's mother.

"Look at you kid, you didn't listen to me when I told you to rest. After standing for such a long time, look at your calf, isn't it swollen again?"

Su's mother squeezed Su Jiao's calf distressedly and began to mutter.

"Mom, I'm fine. You've been busy all morning. Take a rest." Su Jiao said as she pulled her legs back.

"Just be patient. Mom knows what she's doing. It's not tiring to just plant some vegetables. It's much easier than going to work." Mother Su pulled Su Jiao's legs to prevent her from pulling back, and kept massaging her hands. .

Su Jiao didn't dare to say anything.

"I don't know how Mingyuan will do in today's exam." Mother Su said.

Today is the day when Ye Mingyuan takes the agricultural tractor driving license test.

"It will definitely work. Mingyuan's academic performance was very good before. Now that he has studied for such a long time, it is no problem to get the tractor driving qualification certificate." Su Jiao said a little proudly.

Su Jiao is not worried, she still believes in Ye Mingyuan's learning ability.

Mother Su looked at Su Jiao's proud expression when she talked about Ye Mingyuan, and she felt blinded.

"Okay, let's see how proud you are of it. You can rest on the kang for a while while mom makes lunch." After saying this, Mother Su went to the kitchen.

"There is no meat at home, can you please have some scrambled eggs for lunch?" Mother Su walked around the kitchen and the east room, then shouted to the west room.

Of course, Su Jiao wouldn't say anything bad. She had finished eating the meat at home and there were not many eggs left.

Speaking of eggs, Su Jiao thought of raising chickens.

"Mom, have you bought chickens at home? Please help me ask who has chickens. I also want to raise two chickens this year." Su Jiao stretched her head and asked Su's mother who was beating eggs in the kitchen.

Mother Su stopped what she was doing and said, "Okay, in two days I will go to your Aunt Wang in the west of the village to buy them. I have already bought them at home, and I also bought them from your Aunt Wang. Then my mother will buy four for you. I’ll definitely pick some hens for you.”

Su's mother had no objection at all to raising chickens at home. Raising chickens didn't take much time. When they were raised, they could lay eggs and eat meat.

"Mom, there are three people in our family, and we can only raise two." When Su Jiao heard that Su's mother wanted to help buy four, she thought that Su's mother had forgotten that there was a limit.

Mother Su smiled and said: "Chickens die easily, so buy a few more. When they are half-grown, kill two and eat them."

Su Jiao didn't object. It was indeed the case. This kind of behavior was the default practice in the village.

When many villagers catch chickens, they will deliberately catch more chickens so that they can eat more meat when they are half-grown. It can be said that the villagers have tried their best to eat meat.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back." At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Mingyuan came back beaming with joy. He put the oil paper bag he was carrying on the stove and came to the west room. Mother Su didn't even bother to say hello. She called out as soon as she entered the door. Su Jiao.

When Su Jiao saw Ye Mingyuan's proud look, she knew there was good news. It was probably that the tractor certificate was settled, but she still cooperated and asked: "Mingyuan, why are you back so early today and still so happy? Is it possible?" What a good thing."

Seeing Ye Mingyuan's expression, Su's mother also guessed it, so she said nothing and watched the young couple's interaction with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law, look what this is!" Ye Mingyuan took out a small red rubber notebook from his pocket with a smile on his face and waved it proudly in front of Su Jiao.

Su Jiao reached out to take the red book and found that the eight golden characters of "Agricultural Tractor Driving License" were clearly written on the cover.

When you open the red book, the first page is the leader's quotations, and the second page is the identity information issuing authority and other information.

"I knew you could do it. My Mingyuan is great." Su Jiao closed the red notebook in her hand and praised with a smile.

Hearing Su Jiao's compliment, Ye Mingyuan squinted and became even more proud. If he had a tail, he would probably be able to swing it and fly.

"The webmaster asked me to go to work on time tomorrow. From now on, our family will have a fixed income every month." Ye Mingyuan was happy.

Although Su's mother didn't say anything to her, I understood her clearly. His son-in-law was really getting state food, and he would be considered a commune cadre in the future.

The corners of Su's mother's mouth could not help but turn up. If it weren't for the child in front of her and the majesty of the elders, she would have jumped for joy. Now let's see what those talkative people in the village have to say. .

After Ye Mingyuan shared his joy, his mood slowly calmed down, "Mom, I bought some meat today and put it on the stove. Let's eat dumplings tonight."

"Okay, let's eat dumplings." Su's mother agreed with a smile. She now looked at Ye Mingyuan as her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Not long after he came back, Ye Mingyuan couldn't sit still on the kang and started to get off the kang to clean up the house, fetching water, sweeping the floor, chopping firewood, and was very busy.

After finishing all this work, she learned that Su Jiao planned to raise chickens at home this year, and went to build the chicken coop with great enthusiasm.

Ye Mingyuan was at home in the afternoon, and Su's mother went out to visit Su Jiao instead of watching over her.

Su Jiao knew that Su's mother must have gone to show off, so she didn't stop her. It was rare that her mother was so happy, so she just let her go.

In less than half the afternoon, most people in the village knew that Ye Mingyuan was going to work at the agricultural machinery station, especially those who were waiting to see the joke. Mother Su went door-to-door to inform them.

At night, Ye Yao next to her was already asleep. Su Jiao snuggled into Ye Mingyuan's arms and said softly: "Mingyuan, now that you have decided to go to work at the agricultural machinery station, let's find an opportunity to find a way to get a bicycle ticket and buy a bicycle. Otherwise, you It takes nearly three hours to commute to and from get off work every day, which is so tiring.”

"Well, don't worry. Buying a car just after work is too eye-catching. I'll go to Meng Long on my day off later to help me think of a way to see if she has any way to buy it." Ye Mingyuan patted her head. Su Jiao put her shoulder on her shoulder and said in a low tone as if to coax her to sleep.

"Yes." Su Jiao nodded slightly. Seeing that Ye Mingyuan had his own plans, she didn't say anything more. She just moved a few times and found a comfortable position to sleep.
