All-round way to money

"His family is even more famous." Brother Chu also knows Carpenter Xiao's, "Grandma, do you know Shijingzi Xiao's family?"

As soon as he mentioned it, the old lady knew, "Ah, Xiao Laolu's family? Oh, mom, then this kid's background is hard enough, who is he from?"

"Old Qi's family."

"Oh...then how many children are born in this family?"

"Five. This carpenter is the fifth. The eldest married the daughter of the neighbor in the front yard. When she entered the door, her parents-in-law and younger brother-in-law were all driven out to live in the shack. The special care of the commune allowed the second child to enter the fishing ground and take the back ditch of our brigade. The eldest daughter of the Wu family, the third child married into the Wu family and became the second son-in-law. The two families changed relatives. The fourth child has not yet said that she is married. She is a stonemason in the village. The fifth child earns money at the age of 11. Raising a family, the brain is really clever. I learned it by watching other painters paint furniture, and then I thought about carpentry work by myself. As far as the Xiao family is concerned, those sons are really good, but they didn’t get a job. Good family. When we go back to the meeting, Captain Chen said it was a pity. We are brothers and sisters, his team has an old Xiao’s family, and I have an old Wu’s family. They are all worried about each other.” Big Brother Chu also had a stomach full of words when he mentioned it.

Chu Ran was amazing.

Speaking of which, she really knows a little bit.

The main reason is that these two are too famous.

The Wu family, the worry is that the parents are lame and the mother is blind, and they gave birth to five daughters in a row.Now that my daughter is grown up, it's better.Don't mention the early years, those days.The house is out in the open, and there is no food or clothing.The blind mother couldn't see, and the daughter almost drowned in the washtub at home, not to mention the injuries on her body.How can a large family support a cripple?He only earns so little work points a year, and he can't support himself.That's the food owed to the team every year, piled up every year, and it can kill a person.The team can't just watch, right?Who can bear it?After all these years, the owner borrowed a bowl of rice and the family borrowed two vegetables. At any rate, the daughter is getting older. The eldest daughter really does everything from washing to cooking at the age of seven or eight.Several daughters are very capable.It's just that the burden is too great, and no one has dared to marry.

Besides, the Xiao family is more famous than the Wu family.At any rate, the daughter of the five families has grown up and has a leader.The Xiao family is really a bottomless pit.

The Xiao Laolu that the old lady mentioned was Xiao Carpenter's grandfather, of course his real name was not that, the reason why he got such a nickname was because he was so prolific.Twelve children were born, nine sons and three daughters.But in that era, people were still supporting them, which was also amazing. The children in the back were really catching up with what to eat outside, relying on paozi to support them, similar to those chickens and ducklings.But they did survive.

If she survived, the girl is much better. When she grows up and gets married, she will be done. If she has money, she will accompany her.

But son, it doesn’t cost money to marry a wife, who will marry you.How about nine sons?I can't even eat.Either marry the daughter of a landlord with a bad status, or find someone with a disability, or remarry and have another child.It is rare to be able to marry all beards and tails.Not to mention how I lived in those days, I borrowed a lot every year, and the debts I owed were layered upon layers, and I probably didn't know how much I had.What makes the brigade cadres want to scold their mothers the most is that all these sons follow their fathers one by one, and they are so capable of giving birth.At least five children.You say it's like planting potatoes, how do you fix it?Except when driving, no one dares to bully, so what's the use?Or why did his family dare to marry the daughter of the landlord's family?But these days, how many fights are there?What do you need to look at?

Chu Ran really didn't know what was going on with this old seventh.I asked Brother Chu again.Only then did I know that this Xiao Laoqi married the daughter of a landlord's family, and that Aunt Seven's family was a famous landlord before liberation.Not only is he a big landlord, but he is also a Manchu. It seems that he belongs to his ancestors or some kind of prince. Most of the land in Anyuan County belongs to his family.That is to say, she married into Xiao's family. Otherwise, in the special period a few years ago, she would have been beaten like this.Isn't it, outsiders didn't do anything to her, and the eldest daughter-in-law was bullied to live in a chicken coop at home.

He gave birth to five sons, all of whom were good.It is because we are too poor that we live in a state of aggrieved life.The boss is really not a coward, but if the daughter-in-law is like that, it can't be called the daughter-in-law's trouble.

There is also the second and third child, is there really no other way, can change marriages and let the third child go out to marry, what a burden for the Wu family.It's just two big worries, don't dislike anyone, that's why they get along like this, and they will all be in the family anyway.

After Chu Ran heard this, her head grew bigger.

How can this be done?

With this condition, everything has become a scene, who in the family can agree that she will be with the master!Like Chu's mother, Huang Nvxia, she had to be tough. Chu Ran felt that if Chu's mother could chop her up with a knife, it would be better than her incessant fuss.

At night, Chu Ran couldn't sleep.No matter how you think about it, you don't know how to solve the current predicament.Wait another two years for Master to take the university entrance exam?If you go to a particularly good university and go out, it will probably be delayed by then.If when the time comes, Laba will let his brothers live a better life, and someone can share the burden, maybe Chu's mother will not be so objectionable.There must be no problem at all for Master to enter the university.But the question is, it will take at least two years, how will the two years go?Run away from home?That was too heartless, there was nothing wrong with her at home.

What else can I do?As long as his family is still in this situation, Chu Ma will not be able to pass that test.

Hey……

Worry to death Worry to death.

Until the master came to open the locker for her, Chu Ran didn't think of a good way.

Nowadays, this work is not done in a day or two. The master has to take care of the food, and if he is far away from home, he has to take care of it.It's summer now, so it's easy to live in. A few poles and a plastic shed can accommodate people.Either go to the educated youth courtyard of the production team, where there is a big kang, and you can live there.

"Come on, child, drink some water, take a rest. Don't rush to do it." The old lady knew that this was a child from a hard background. She was kind-hearted, and she probably felt distressed. Sometimes she asked Xiexie to drink some water, and sometimes she asked Xiexie to eat A melon.There are three meals a day, and they keep filling them.The life of the Chu family is much better now. The eldest brother and sister-in-law all earn wages and don’t need to be managed by the family. Chu Ran also earns a lot. Chu’s father and his wife are in the prime of life. When they are capable, it is not easy to support themselves and the old lady.What's more, if the children earn more, they are willing to subsidize them.Seriously good day.The kindness of the old lady couldn't be restrained.

Not only is the old lady distressed, but Chu Ran is also distressed.After doing this every day, calluses appeared on his hands.I have known Master for so long, when did I see him working so hard, his skin was tanned, and no matter how good-looking his face was, it was almost unreal.A smile with big white teeth is called black and white.

"Can't you get some things out and change jobs or something? You can't find a way out?" Looking for a chance, the old lady went out, and when she was finally able to say a few whispers, Chu Ran asked.Why is it so real?Just do it?I don't believe it, he can't even arrange a job for himself?

"What are the arrangements? What is my current mother? Do you dare to take things out? That's a disaster." People who dare to collect things to do things these days, if they feel that their family has something, the whole family will suffer. Also have to be implicated. "Besides, how did I meet you when I was doing other things?"

"Now that we have met, what should we do? In your family's situation, my family will definitely not agree to our marriage. Elope?"

The master looked at her helplessly, "What are you thinking? I've gotten to the point where I have to elope to marry a wife? Just wait until the end of the year."

Chu Ran was curious, "What's your plan?"

"Then you don't have to worry about it, you just live your life well and staying single is a great achievement."

That's fine, it's not difficult at all, and no one is willing to introduce me to a partner now.

"Shall I get you some money?" You have to use money to do things, right?

The master raised his forehead, "Do you think I will be short of money?"

They all came from the same place. I gave you the space. I can arrange it for myself, don’t you understand?

Okay, okay, then just wait.

The old lady's footsteps approached, so she couldn't say any more, Chu Ran hurried back to the house, picked up the scissors, and pretended to be doing work.The old lady came back so soon because she was afraid that being alone would hurt her reputation.

I usually don't give the chance to talk alone at all.If it wasn't for her old best friend who was going to die today, she would go to deliver things and take a look, she wouldn't have left.

But that's enough.After the master gave the correct words, Chu Ran had confidence in her heart, and waited obediently with peace of mind.I can believe in Master's ability.

The locker was made in five days, and it was finished, and it was made very finely, otherwise it could be faster.It took two days to polish and polish.Four layers of drawers, the upper two layers are divided into two, and the lower two layers are a large drawer.There are also small wooden boards that are divided into small grids, which are made according to the size of the drawer, and it is very convenient to put lines and so on.The cabinet is 1.5 meters high, and there is a small compartment on the top floor that is as wide as a finger, which can be used as a dressing table, where small things can be placed without fear of falling.Not all the wood was used up, and there was a little left, which was used to make two wooden stools.

The cabinet is log-colored, only painted with a layer of oil.No paint, no coloring, no painting.It is not the popular red style with antique patterns.But it looks like atmosphere, pleasing to the eye.

Once the cabinet was finished, the women in the family liked it for something.The sister-in-law kept talking about it, and asked the little carpenter to make one for her later. When the child is born, it will be more convenient to put small clothes and so on.The old lady is also curious, so she touched it with her hands when she was free, opened it to have a look, and felt it, the craftsmanship is really good.

Isn't that good, let alone how much education he has received in the Fantasy Continent.It's just that I have been working as Lord Qianlong for decades in my previous life, and I haven't seen any good things. It was the most advanced technology in the world at that time. If you use it casually, it is enough to open your eyes in this small remote village.

Chu Ran didn't know what Master would do next.But he gave time, so she could work and wait at home with peace of mind.I secretly made two clothes for him, but I didn't have a chance to give them to him, so I put them in the space.

There are so many things this year.There are many major events in the country, and that is too far away from her life to reach.There are also many things at home.The most important thing is of course the sister-in-law's belly, the first grandson of the Chu family, no matter how important she is.Mother Chu knows many people. After the autumn harvest, the food and money are divided, and the family can have less than 100 yuan left. This is considered a rich brigade.Go to places where water and land resources are not abundant, and ask, can there be [-] left in a year?After the money was divided, Chu's mother would go to the public marketing agency every now and then to buy some snacks, some meat, and so on. Except for the old lady, it was for her grandson.Chu Ran occasionally got two pieces of fruit candy, sweet mouth.

The wedding between Li Xiaohuai and Liu Qingshan was organized by Dongyue.Chu Ran was a bridesmaid, and she was busy with her for a few days. The bride couldn't cry when she was crying, and she was shamelessly laughed at behind the back by the aunts in the village.At the wedding, it can be seen that the bride is really happy, and the groom's face is also rosy and complacent.Regardless of what happened to the Liu family, Chu Ran felt that at least the two of them were in love with each other.

After Xiaohuai got married, the Liu family lived in the town. Chu Ran often went to the town in the name of looking at Xiaohuai and buying materials, looking for opportunities to inquire about Master.

When it was the twelfth lunar month, there was finally a letter.It was said that during the celebration, a handmade product sent by Anyuan County was taken by the big cadres in the capital, and asked the county dignitaries to enter some research institute.

Years later, there was definite news that the leader said that the little carpenter's education level was not enough, so he asked him to go back to the province to make up the transition and make up the transition, and work as an officer for the parts factory affiliated to the automobile factory hanging in the province.

After the commune developed such an ability, it spread throughout the commune within a few days.

At home, my sister-in-law mentioned it when she was chatting.I only worked at home half a year ago, and in a blink of an eye, I became a worker in the factory, and I even went to the capital to meet the big cadres, what a legend.

The whole family sighed with emotion, saying that the little carpenter just let that family be delayed. He didn't study for a day, even if he graduated from junior high school, he might stay in the capital this time.

"I heard that the little carpenter allocated a house in the factory, and took his parents to the provincial capital. It is said that Xiao's fourth brother will also enter the factory to work as a worker in spring." Brother Chu also knows something.

The old lady sighed with emotion: "Oh, there is really nowhere to look at this matter. Old Xiao's family, maybe, it is really going to turn over from the little carpenter."

Chu's mother also sighed: "But let's talk. The little carpenter is a brother of the Kenlaba, and the Wu family can follow suit. Now the eldest daughter-in-law should be in trouble. She treats her parents so well, and they can take care of them ?”

Who said no.

"The blisters on the feet are all gone by themselves. Captain Zhao said, the brigade cadres, the production team leader, who hasn't educated her? It's useless to say that it's useless, and the new parents won't listen. There is no way. The old branch secretary of the brigade is her own uncle, and he beat her with a crutch, and there are purple marks on her legs, and she didn't listen." Brother Chu talked about the strange sister-in-law of the Xiao family.

Everyone listens to the story.

At this time, except for Chu Ran, no one thought that his daughter would become a sister-in-law with someone like that!

The first month just passed, Brother Chu went to the commune for a meeting to arrange production tasks for the new year.Captain Zhao from Shijingzi sat next to him on purpose, and when he said he was going to introduce someone to Chu Ran as a matchmaker, he didn't expect that the carpenter was mentioned. Captain Zhao said Xiao Yu, but he didn't know who he was talking about.

"Old Five Xiao, Carpenter Xiao, the one who works in the provincial capital, do you know which one it is?"

Captain Zhao is also impatient.

What?

"Introduce my little sister to the little carpenter? They all work in the provincial capital now, can they fall in love with our rural women?" Brother Chu didn't believe it.

Captain Zhao rolled his eyes, "Then where do I know where to go? It was his aunt who came to my house and asked me to ask for help. She said that the fifth child had done work for your house and fell in love with your little sister. I didn't dare to mention it before. , I’m afraid your family won’t like it. Now that I have a job, don’t I dare to ask? How is it? Brother, we are also in an old relationship. Let me tell you the truth, the fifth child is really a good person, and he lives well. It's perfect. After the fourth child gets married, he will live his own life. That is, the old couple can be tired, your sister knows how to make money, and the couple can make money. How difficult is it? As long as it's human, everything else It's not a problem, what do you say?"

It doesn't matter what he said, Brother Chu of course understands this truth.But I can't agree like this, "I'll go back and ask, it depends on what the little girl thinks. The girl in my family has a stubborn temper, so if she doesn't like it, no one will say it. She didn't like it herself, so it didn't work out. Now she can't do it all, right?"

"It's up to her to be willing. You can persuade and give our sister a good analysis. This marriage is really not a choice. I also know about your family's situation. It's great if it's not the fifth child. I can mention it."

"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Zhao, I'll treat you to a drink."

When Big Brother Chu came back, he told Captain Zhao about introducing a partner to Chu Ran and the little carpenter.

The old lady first expressed her opinion, "That is really a good boy, with good craftsmanship and sharp eyes. After a few days at home, I didn't see any bad things about his child." She said and looked at Chu Ran. Well, her old man lived in her [-]s, and she couldn't see anything with her eyes. The two of them thought it was well concealed, but the old lady couldn't tell that it was tricky, but she could tell it was eight.

Father Chu is still the same, he doesn't like to talk, "I think it's pretty good too, I have no objection."

Chu's mother got angry, "You have no objection to anything, as long as there is food and drink, you have no objection to anything."

The family is already used to the relationship between Chu's mother and Chu's father. If they don't say something to Chu's father for a day, Chu's mother will not eat well.

"My father is right. It's pretty good. I think it's pretty good too. What Captain Zhao said is right. He lives on his own. No matter how many brothers he has, can he support him? It's amazing. It is to support the old couple. Then it is enough to support the parents. Is it right to support the parents? The little carpenter has a brain, and the disadvantage is that he has no education. Now he is paid for work and has a house. A few words, I can still go up in the future. Even if I can’t go up, it’s better to earn a salary than our old commune members to farm at home, right?”

Eating a red book means having an urban household registration, receiving wages, guaranteeing income during droughts and floods, and not having to depend on the weather for food. This is the most enviable life for farmers.

The sister-in-law didn't speak until the elder brother finished speaking, and she said, "Little sister, what are you thinking?"

When she asked, it all depends on Chu Ran.

What am I thinking?I would love to. "Listen to the mother."

Chu's mother pinched her with her eyes, and she gave birth to herself, so she couldn't understand what it meant.In the past, she had to listen to her, but now the child is almost gone.I'm happy to listen to her now.

As far as the little carpenter is concerned, he can't find any faults just by looking at people.You need to be tall and well-rounded, and you need to be good-looking, who is smart, sweet-mouthed, and able to speak.If it doesn't matter any more, then she will have to wonder if her daughter has something wrong with her eyes.

But that family...

It is said that they live their own lives, as long as their parents are still alive, can they really live their own lives?

Sighing in my heart, I am not [-]% satisfied after all.

But what should I do, my daughter is twenty, and I am still happy, what can I do if I disagree?

"Then let's see each other."

After all, he was relieved.

It was mentioned over there because it was because of Chu Ran, and the girl here is also happy. The so-called acquaintance is just a formality.

The Xiao family got the letter, so the master specially asked for a day off to go home and go through the engagement process.Giving Chu Ran a red scarf, just the boxy, thread-woven headscarf, is considered a made-to-order gift.Knowing the conditions of the Xiao family, Chu Ran didn't choose this side, no matter how sighed in Chu's mother, she could only admit it.When mentioning the dowry gift, there is no way to mention it, just say it is based on the reward, and it counts as much as you give.The Xiao family seemed to be afraid that the marriage would go bad, and on the grounds that the two children were not young, they set the marriage on August [-], the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I gave half a year to prepare for marriage.My sister-in-law is a month old, and the family is busy welcoming the newborn and preparing Chu Ran's dowry. Chu Ran's work is still too busy. Doesn't she also want to earn more before the wedding?

Chu's mother said that no matter what the Xiao family prepares, the family will send four beddings with them, and the sewing machine has already been said, let Chu Ran take it away.The eldest brother and sister-in-law said to buy watches and radios.Don't worry about furniture, that's what a carpenter does. If he can't even arrange this for him, he won't be able to enter the factory.Chu Ran bought thermos bottles, enamel washbasins, mirrors, etc., but they were nothing.

On the fifth day of May, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu's mother was worried because her sister-in-law was not yet born. When the master came to pick up Chu Ran and go home to celebrate the festival, she went to Longcheng with her, saying that she would give her a gift. To buy a dowry, I just want to see the allocated house.

It's just a [-]-square-meter tube building, with the east gable wall on the first floor. This is because he was arranged by the capital, and he took care of it specially, so he allocated such a large area.There are two bedrooms separated by about ten square meters, one for the old couple and one for the master himself.In the middle is a living room of eleven or twelve square meters. There is a shoe rack against the wall when entering the door. In the living room there is a long wooden sofa, a dining table, and nothing else.Simple and simple.The house in Bashan is hot in summer and cold in winter, but one advantage is that there is an open space of about ten meters between the first floor and the pedestrian passage on the east side outside, which can be used to build a small warehouse or something.Windows can also be covered.But this is the shaded side, and if it is covered, the lighting will be even worse.The deputy director of the factory lived in Yangmian, and they set up a small vegetable garden just outside the window, growing cucumbers, beans, eggplants, onions, etc., which saved the whole family's vegetable money.The east wall was also covered. It was said to be a warehouse, but it was basically a room, about [-] square meters. His son's family lived in it, and it was spacious.

This shady house was said to be owned by the old accountant. He made a mistake and was transferred to work. The house was repossessed.On the shady side, vegetables cannot be grown, and the population is small, so there is no need to cover it, but after having children, I am not afraid that I will not be able to live.

Chu's mother is very satisfied with this house. Upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, her daughter is about to live a life in the city.The first floor is also a building.

After walking around, I measured the size of the windows, and when I got back, I bought floral cloth for curtains according to the size.I also made two pairs of cotton shoes for my uncle.

Not two days after she came back, her sister-in-law gave her a fat grandson weighing seven catties, and she was even happier.

Before the wedding, four quilts weighing ten catties and mattresses weighing six catties were made.The quilt noodles are all forged noodles.Just these four quilts cost more than 200 yuan.At the time of the wedding, those who came to pick up the relatives, and those who came to watch the ceremony in the village, no one would say that the Chu family loves the daughter.This escort is enough for half a lifetime.

The wedding was held in the canteen of the work unit. There was a table with a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, a plate of candy, and there were no seats.As the officiant, the leader read a quotation or something, especially a set of procedures with the characteristics of the age.

There is nothing to make trouble in the bridal chamber, it is not allowed.The city is much stricter than the village.In the evening at home, she changed her name to Mom and Dad, and Mrs. Luo gave her one hundred and one yuan to change her name, all secretly.I am afraid that people will report to engage in feudalism.

After entering the bridal chamber, the wedding is considered complete.

It's finally together.I can live a good life.
