Liu Xiulan hurriedly shook her head: "It's good for one person to live alone. Our family can afford it for one dollar."

When Liu Xiulan entered the courtyard, she saw several blue brick and tile houses, and the accompanying rooms were all made of bricks. She thought the villagers were stupid: "Such nice houses are not occupied? They actually rented them to you?"

Jiang Tang didn't dare tell her about the ghost story, and said vaguely: "This used to be the house of an old landlord. All his family members died, and it has been vacant ever since. I happened to come here, and I fell in love with this place.

A brick and tile house, a large yard, and high walls. I feel safe alone."

Liu Xiulan turned around and nodded: "This place is really nice."

Seeing the brand new quilt in the room, he was puzzled again: "Where did you get the new cotton quilt? You just started working, how can you afford to buy a quilt?"

Jiang Tang hurriedly explained: "Ah, the commune gives us subsidies. After all, we are public servants, so we do have some benefits."

"Really? That's great."

The mother and daughter didn't stay at home for long before they were called away by Grandma Sanhua.

It's her family's turn to have dinner today.

Grandma Sanhua's family has three generations living together, with more than a dozen people in the family.

Tonight's meal is not simple either, steamed buns made of two-grain flour, fried beans, and rice porridge with a few grains of rice.

This is the highest standard in Grandma Sanhua's house.

Jiang Tang thought Comrade Liu Xiu Lan would dislike the food, but unexpectedly she enjoyed it very much.

It was Jiang Tang who discovered that the boys and girls in Grandma Sanhua's family ate different food.

Boys can have a steamed bun made of two grains of rice, but girls can have no such thing. They can only have half a bowl of rice soup with a few grains of rice. They can eat whatever vegetables they want, but they are salty.

"Comrade Liu, you gave birth to a wonderful daughter. She is very capable and is now well-known in our village.

He is a good worker.

He is seventeen years old this year. Does he want to take root in our commune?

If a girl of this age wants to settle down, it would be best for her to find a local family first so that they can take care of her and avoid worrying about her as adults.

Our fifth child, a high school graduate, is now twenty-one and is a teacher at the commune middle school. ...Five children, come on and call me Aunt Liu."

"Aunt Liu." After being named, Lao Wu called out, blushing and glancing at Jiang Tang inconspicuously.

Jiang Tang was currently lamenting the deep-rooted idea of ​​favoring boys over girls among the older generation in some places, and she didn't notice Zhang Laowu's gaze that looked like that of a grown-up girl.

Liu Xiulan laughed out loud: "It's not easy for a country to raise a high school student. Auntie is so open-minded.

I am also a teacher, teaching in elementary school.

Let me tell you, our Rong District attaches great importance to education, but there are still a few families who are unwilling to let their children go to school.

Especially the girls in the family, they always feel that it is unnecessary to go to school, and it is more cost-effective for them to help take care of their younger siblings and do housework at home.

I'm telling you, don't underestimate girls.

Take my family for example, I have three children, one son and two daughters.

No matter how rough my son was, I raised him well, but I raised my two daughters very carefully.

He supplemented himself with wheat, milk, and eggs, wore flowery clothes, and could hardly cook.

Otherwise, why would I bother the villagers when I rent such a big house?

Fortunately, there are enthusiastic people like you.

Otherwise, her father and I would be worried to death.

Our Tangtang has been spoiled by us and has developed the habit of spending money lavishly since childhood.

My pocket money for a month is ten dollars.

His father and I have agreed that if we look for someone in the future who can't even provide pocket money for his wife, we will definitely not marry him.

My daughter has been pampered for so many years, she is not meant to suffer after marrying off.

If the marriage is not good, we would rather keep her at home.

Having said that, it’s still the kids who are doing great.

My two daughters have been good at studying since they were young, and both got jobs recommended by the school after graduation.

Make us proud and we will also have pride on our faces.

My aunt has a large family and is open-minded and far-sighted. In the future, these grandchildren will rise up one after another like bamboo shoots after an spring rain.

By then, your family's wealth and status will probably be unmatched by the entire village."

Everyone knows that the most difficult and most patriarchal family in Youcaoling Village is Grandma Sanhua's.

Her eldest son had two daughters.

Since the family has not been divided, Grandma Sanhua scolds her eldest daughter-in-law and two granddaughters the most every day.

In this family, the eldest daughter-in-law and her daughter do the most work and eat the least. Who in the village doesn't know this?

Now, being praised by Comrade Liu Xiulan, Grandma Sanhua's face flushed and she felt light and airy. "Comrade Liu is right. The leaders always say that women hold up half the sky. We women are no worse than men."

Liu Xiulan quickly put down the bowl in her hand, took Grandma Sanhua's hand with both hands, and praised her again: "Auntie, you are open-minded. But this is not the case." After that, she pointed to the granddaughters next to her and said: "These two girls are in school now, right? They are quite smart. I have been teaching for so many years, and I can tell at a glance that they will definitely be good in the future.

With your fifth son, a middle school teacher, tutoring him, your child will definitely get a stable job before other children in the village."

Comrade Liu Xiu Lan was referring to the two daughters of the old family.

The two girls, one twelve and the other eight, were illiterate. But with Comrade Liu Xiulan holding them, they were too embarrassed to admit they had never been to school. They could only smile and nod, "Yes, yes, we have the precedent of Lao Wu in our family, so he must be smart. Comrade Liu is right."

Grandma Sanhua now envisions that her grandchildren will all be successful in the future, have stable jobs, and be given bags of snacks and canned food to send home during festivals. It’s a delightful thought.

Grandma Sanhua and Comrade Liu Xiu Lan hit it off right away. Later, I heard that she wanted to buy two chickens to nourish Secretary Jiang.
