After Wei Mo was carried back by Li Xiuxiu, Wei Xiaomin immediately put down the fish basket she was weaving, stood up and ran towards the supplies, taking out three spears from the kitchen!

"Aunt Xiuxiu, little brother, let's go catch some toads!"

Wei Xiaomin didn't want to wait a moment longer, but Li Xiuxiu hesitated, since she had played all day yesterday and hadn't woven any fish baskets.

Since she wanted to work with Sister Wang, she had to earn work points. Otherwise, what kind of person would she be if she slacked off? Just as Li Xiuxiu was about to refuse, Wang Zhenhua interrupted her!

"Xiuxiu, you take these two naughty kids with you. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. They can help you get the frogs without having to run back and forth."

Wang Zhenhua had thought it through very clearly. Now, his family's grain didn't rely on the brigade's work points at all; it was all thanks to the rewards his precious son received from the Dragon King!

Does the family lack Li Xiuxiu's work points? Not at all. This way, they can keep an eye on this mischievous boy, and since he always brings back so many, Li Xiuxiu can be of help.

"Sister Wang, I, I, I'll just weave fish baskets instead."

Li Xiuxiu felt somewhat guilty, but Wang Zhenhua pushed her aside.

"I'm leaving the child in your care. With you here, I can rest assured."

Wei Mo and Wei Xiaomin each grabbed one side of Li Xiuxiu's clothes, and Li Xiuxiu had no choice but to obey Sister Wang's arrangement.

Wei Xiaomin happily handed the spears to Li Xiuxiu, and she and her younger brother also carried the spears on their shoulders and headed towards the paddy field.

Looking at her well-behaved eldest daughter beside her, Wei's mother felt a pang of sympathy and patted Wei Xiaohui's little head.

"Eldest daughter, stop weaving fish baskets and go play with your younger brother and the others."

Wei Xiaohui shook her head, her voice soft and sweet.

"Mom, I like knitting. I think this is the most fun. I'll ask my little brother to teach me to knit other things later."

Wei Xiaohui was sensible from a young age, partly because she genuinely liked it, but also partly because it allowed her to earn work points. Thinking back to the taste of wild vegetable dumplings she used to eat, Wei Xiaohui was particularly interested in hoarding food.

For lunch, we had rabbit stew with frog legs! After the meal, Wei's mother filled a huge bowl (two large bowls, several sizes larger than a regular rice bowl) with the food and took it to her godparents.

When Wang Zhenhua arrived at the old village chief's house, no one was home. Smoke was rising from his own house next door, so Wang Zhenhua hurriedly went over to check.

He saw two elderly people heating the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) in their new home! Looking at the elderly people in front of him, Wang Zhenhua was so moved that he wanted to cry.

"Godfather, Godmother, stop it. You haven't eaten yet. Come home and eat, or the food will get cold."

The old village elders, a married couple, smiled broadly as they watched Wang Zhenhua standing at the doorway with a large bowl in his hand.

"Let's hurry up and burn the fire, and try to get the kang (heated brick bed) dry before tonight, then you can move in."

Seeing that the two elderly people completely ignored his advice, he put the bowl by the kang (a heated brick bed) and began to pull them towards the house.

"Hey, hey, hey, girl, stop pulling me! We'll go, we'll go, okay? The meat you brought is still on the kang (heated brick bed)!"

The elderly couple had no choice but to agree. Wang Zhenhua didn't take the meat back, but instead ran to deliver it to his godfather's house. Then he pulled his godfather and godmother towards the old house.

When Wang Zhenhua brought the two elderly people over, everyone rushed over to greet them warmly. Wei Mo immediately threw herself into her grandmother's arms, and Wei Xiaomin also ran towards the old village chief.

The dinner table was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation. The old man felt a little guilty looking at the female educated youth eating in front of the stove, so he went to find the old carpenter in the village that afternoon to make a larger table.

After the whole family finished their meal, they chatted on the side. The old village chief said that it would be about time to move over today.

"Uncle Yu, you said we can move this afternoon?"

Wang Ling stared wide-eyed, "This is too fast!" She couldn't help but ask the old village chief.

The old village chief nodded and began to give instructions to the crowd.

"You guys pack your things in a bit, I'll go borrow an oxcart, and we'll move everything over this afternoon."

Everyone nodded, no longer wanting to rest, and began packing up Wei Mo's belongings. After moving Wei Mo's things, they would have to go to the educated youth compound to move more.

Moving was a real problem for these girls, but luckily Li Xiuxiu was there, otherwise no one would have been able to move so many things.

Wei Ma led everyone to empty the water from the water vat, and then Li Xiuxiu carried the vat to the yard by herself.

In those days, the house was practically bare, with nothing of value, so they quickly tidied it up.

One pot, two vats, two cabinets, and a few quilts.

This is the majority of Wei Mo's family's possessions, along with some stored grain.

When the old village chief arrived with the oxcart, everyone loaded their things onto the cart and headed towards the new house in a lively atmosphere. Before leaving, Wei Mo took a good look at the old house.

Kang Mian hadn't dried his clothes yet; the quilts were all on the cabinet. After unloading the things, he went to the female educated youth's place again.

In the educated youth compound, Zhao Qingshan, who was worrying, had his eyes light up when he saw several female educated youths enter.

"You educated youth, you're back!"

Zhao Qingshan was unusually enthusiastic, since they would need his help later. The group didn't want to talk to him, but he kept following them!

Qian Manman was annoyed by Zhao Qingshan following her, so she turned around and angrily spoke to him.

"What do you need? We're busy, don't take up our time."

Because she had companions with her, Qian Manman spoke with great conviction!

Zhao Qingshan stammered and didn't speak. Originally, he wanted to talk to a few people one by one so that he could ask them for money. But since things had already come to this point, he simply said it directly. He didn't even see the old village chief walking behind him!

"Um, could you lend me some more money? I'll pay you back in a while."

Li Xiuxiu recalled what Wei Mo had said back then and couldn't help but speak.

"Pay back the 10 yuan you owe me first before you ask me for money. If you can borrow and pay back easily, it will be easy to borrow again in the future!"

"That's right, that's right, you still owe me 10 jin of grain, you should pay it back as soon as possible."

"And my 5 jin of cornmeal."

"And my 3 yuan and 2 jin of grain coupons!"

As Li Xiuxiu spoke, Qian Manman, Wang Ling, and Yu Juan, who were standing nearby, also joined the ranks of those collecting debts.

"Um... I'll wait a bit longer. Lend me some more, and I'll pay you back together later."

That's why people say Zhao Qingshan is shameless; who would believe him if he said something like that!

The old village chief heard everything clearly. Despite his age, he was still quite skilled. In addition, it was a sneak attack. He kicked Zhao Qingshan from behind, knocking Zhao Qingshan to the ground.

"You're a grown man, and you're always borrowing things from women. Don't you have any shame? Get out of here! If I see this again, I'll hold a big meeting and criticize you!"

As Zhao Qingshan was kicked to the ground, he was about to get up and retaliate when he saw the old village chief in front of him. He hurriedly got up and ran outside.

As Zhao Qingshan ran away, Qian Manman and the others thanked the old village chief.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu."

"Uncle Yu, you're really skilled! You took him down in one go!"

"That's right, Uncle Yu, teach me a few moves later."

Grandpa Yu smiled happily as he listened to the children's praise.
