Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

"Why did school end so late today?" Sheng Xiping glanced at it, it seemed that school ended later than before, and asked casually.

"Oh, I watched them finish their homework before school was over.

Li Xue was not at school these past few days, and Li Xue couldn't stop them. These naughty kids were all going crazy.

When I checked my homework today, I found that a lot of it was not written.

Did I ask them not to write? This time they all stayed in school, and whoever finished writing was asked to go home from school. "

When it comes to these students in the class, Zhou Qinglan also feels helpless.

Everything was fine before, but just because she was delayed for a few days because of her wedding, this guy has been herding sheep one by one, doesn't study hard, and writes his homework in a mess.

Today Zhou Qinglan returned to class and got so angry that she scared the students.

"Okay, you, don't get angry with them.

These naughty kids are like that. They still don’t understand what independent learning is, and they all love to play. "

Let alone these years, even thirty years later, few children will be able to take the initiative to learn.

Nowadays, even if it is good, most children can complete their homework regardless of their parents.

Looking back later, those parents who accompany me with reading and writing homework every day will be angry to death.

There are those who break their bones while holding a table, some who have heart disease stents, and some who are so angry that they want to become a monk. The further they go, the more difficult it becomes to manage their children.

Of course Zhou Qinglan understands this truth, but she has just started to be a teacher, and she is still a substitute teacher and has not become a regular teacher. She wants to prove herself with results.

"Mom, what's for dinner? I'll do it."

After entering the house, Zhou Qinglan tried not to think about work anymore. Zhou Qinglan gathered her mood and discussed dinner with her mother-in-law.

"Nothing, just pork stewed with pickled cabbage vermicelli and a pot of pancakes.

You should rest quickly. You are so tired fighting with those naughty kids every day. Wash your hands and go back to the house for a while.

My food will be ready soon. "My daughter-in-law has a job and gets off work late. How can I wait for my daughter-in-law to come back before cooking?"

Zhang Shuzhen doesn't do that kind of annoying thing. She always prepares the meals early and makes them in advance.

This saves the children from going home hungry and the meal is not ready yet.

How can Zhou Qinglan say that she is just waiting to eat without working?

He quickly changed out of his coat, washed his hands, took the shovel from Zhang Shuzhen's hand, shoveled the pancakes out of the pot, and put the pork stewed with pickled cabbage and vermicelli into a basin.

In ordinary days, the meals are actually very simple.

Although this is just one dish from the Sheng family, there is a lot of meat in the dish, and the oil and water are not small, which is quite good.

Zhou Qinglan brought the sauerkraut basin into the room and put it on the table, while Zhang Shuzhen entered the room carrying a basket of dry food.

Sheng Xiping took the opportunity to pull two dried chili peppers from under the eaves outside and put them on the charcoal fire to dry.

When the peppers are slightly black and almost mushy, take them out quickly.

At this time, there was a spicy and burnt smell in the kitchen, which was quite fragrant, but also quite choking.

Sheng Xiping held the paste of chili peppers in one hand and took out a pile of four or five bowls from the cabinet with the other hand, and then entered the house.

Put the pickled cabbage vermicelli in the bowl with soup and water, and then crush the roasted, crispy chili peppers while they are hot and sprinkle them into the bowl.

Just one bite of sauerkraut and one big pancake. I was sweating profusely after eating it, not to mention how comfortable it was.

This is what Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping eat. Others don't dare to eat spicy food, so they just eat garlic cloves or sauerkraut directly. Anyway, they all taste delicious.

After dinner and cleaning up, Sheng Liancheng and his wife pushed the others to the north kang to read their homework, leaving Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping to sit on the south kang and chat.

"There were a lot of people at home the night you got married, and the next day we took a bus to Songjiang River, and there were some things we never got to say.

It just so happens that we should chat about everything we need to talk about at this moment. "

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, she took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet.

The cloth bag was opened, and inside was a stack of money and an account book.

Needless to say, this should be the account book recording Sheng Xiping's wedding expenses.

"This is the account I asked my second brother to help me keep. It's the expenses for your wedding.

This money is what is left over from the money that the boss paid home from last winter to this spring.

I won't go into the details of the accounts with you. You can read the account books yourself. I still have more than 700 yuan left in my hand. "

Since the beginning of winter last year, Sheng Xiping has brought back a total of 1,500 to 600 yuan, including wages for winter mining and transportation, plus pine nuts, skins, bear bile and other items.

After deducting the daily expenses for food and drink, as well as a series of expenses for Sheng Xiping's engagement and wedding, there was still more than 700 yuan left.

This is already very good. How many people work hard for a year, that is, they earn enough to live on.

"I will give half of this money to you as settlement expenses, and I will save the other half for my second son to get married and find a wife.

Do you have any objections to this? "

In the past, the children were not married, so they put their money together and spent it casually without having to worry about keeping any accounts.

But things are different now. When the eldest son marries a wife, he has his own family.

Even though they are still living and eating together without separation, some things must be settled clearly to avoid suspicion between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and conflicts in the future.

"Also, you are getting married, and your family has received a lot of gifts. I will not give these things to you. I will be the one who returns the gifts in the future.

In the future, when the second and third sons also get married and we separate our families, you will have to pay for these favors yourself. "

Even though Zhang Shuzhen is uneducated, she is a good housekeeper and not confused at all.

"You are married but we have not separated. You still live and eat at home.

So from now on, you two will give your family fifteen yuan every month, which is food ration money. "

At this time, based on supply, a pound of corn is only about eight cents.

But the Sheng family has many children and the food supply is not enough, so they have to buy food at a high price.

A pound of food stamps on the black market costs 33 cents. Adding in the grain money, it's 40 cents more than a pound of grain.

Of course, buying grain from the large alkali field is not that expensive, but it still costs more than 20 cents.

Both Sheng Xiping and his wife were young and had big appetites. The amount of food they bought for fifteen yuan was really not much.

"Mom, fifteen yuan is not enough? What about oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar? We can't all take advantage of the family.

Let's do this. Let's pay twenty to the family first, and then we can give more after seeing the situation. "

Before Sheng Xiping could speak, Zhou Qinglan rushed to speak.

Zhou Qinglan is not stupid and would not care about the few dollars on this.

They got married and didn't separate. They lived and ate with the Sheng family. They didn't have to worry about anything at home.

When I get off work at a certain time every day, I don’t even have to cook. It’s so worry-free.

The couple pays 20 yuan a month, and she still has more than 18 yuan left over from her salary, which is enough for odd expenses. Sheng Xiping can save everything she earns.

If they separated and lived alone, wouldn't they have to worry about everything themselves? Don’t you have to pay for all the favors yourself? Where is the expense?
