As the twelfth lunar month approached, Su Xia decided to discuss something with Chen's mother.

After breakfast that day, Su Xia gave Chen's mother 100 yuan.

Mother Chen was shocked and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

"Mom, in the last six months, you and Dad worked so hard, and I didn't do anything. I still feel that giving you this is not enough!"

Chen didn't say anything. He just kept telling the boss that at worst he could give some of the money to Niuniu later.

Mother Chen was a little excited, "Then I'll take it..?"

Su Xia nodded and said, "Take it! Put it in your little treasury."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother grinned. All the pigs in the family were sold yesterday, and two were also handed in. When the old man came back, he brought back two bags of feed, 126 kilograms each, because there was no standard for the task pigs, as long as they reached 140 kilograms.

The two youngest in his family weigh about 280 kilograms each.

In this way, each pig weighs more than 140 kilograms, and the county policy is that the excess weight will be compensated in cash and meat coupons.

So the two pigs weighed over 280 jin (approximately 160 kilograms), and the county purchasing station sold them for 0.7 yuan. So when the old man returned, he had 126 yuan in cash, 30 jin (approximately 100 kilograms) of meat coupons, and two bags of pig feed.

Su Xia also gave the remaining 50 yuan to Chen's mother, so Chen's mother received 150 yuan in the past two days.

This year, the village work points earned them 28 yuan. Later, they also earned money from potatoes and sweet potatoes, and later from the pigs and chickens in the village. All together, the old couple earned 22 yuan.

There are 52 households in the village, and two of them have just been divided.

However, when the money is divided, it is divided according to each family.

Next year, we can divide the money among each household.

For convenience, the chickens and pigs raised in the village were paid according to household income, and work points were counted for those who worked in the pig and chicken pens.

Excluding the money, work points are wages. I got 16 points in total from selling chickens and pigs. There was nothing I could do, after all, I only sold 77 chickens and 8 pigs, leaving two task pigs and two more for the pork distributed by the village.

So it seems that they are making money, but who can blame them for the increasing number of accounts in the village?

Since the beginning of winter, the family has been dividing up. Even those who are most reluctant to separate and still want to be mothers-in-law are defeated by reality and have to separate.

Mother Chen put away the money and told Su Xia about fortune telling.

"There are more and more split-up families in the village, and there are quarrels every day!"

Su Xia saw the look of excitement on her face and laughed in her heart.

"Mom, isn't it better to separate the family? We can live together as a family and not have to worry about trivial matters like chicken and beer every day."

Mother Chen sighed, "Indeed, but when you are young, old man, can you even look at me?"

"You don't know, as soon as the family was divided, my parents came over the next day, and they left with a lot of bags."

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she smiled disdainfully and began to speak.

"This morning, Su Xiulan got into an argument with her mother-in-law. She got beaten black and blue."

The corners of Su Xia's mouth twitched. This was her first impression. It was the first time there was a quarrel in the village. It was his son Goudan who snatched Niuniu's candy.

We met a few times later, but in the past two years, I saw her staying away from me.

Unexpectedly, the family finally split up this year. Miao Cuihua is Su Xiulan's mother-in-law, a typical sarcastic old lady in the village.

Of course he wouldn’t allow it, but I didn’t expect him to agree to split up the family!

"Hmph - we didn't divide the family before. When the money was distributed last year, the team leader distributed it according to the household. That damn old woman was not happy about it and went to the village office to make a scene. In the end, she was fined after points were deducted." Mother Chen curled her lips.

Although the mothers-in-law in the village were not particularly good, they were not as unreasonable as Miao Cuihua.

It is said that she does nothing at home, and all the housework is distributed to her four daughters-in-law, who also have to wash her feet and bring her water every day.

Even the landlord’s wife doesn’t get this kind of treatment.

"Mom, why didn't she separate from the family earlier this year?"

"What else can I do? I'm not just enjoying my mother-in-law's addiction, but the captain is a fool. He divided the money and the family, and just gave it back to you as a share. What if after taking the money, we share it together?"

Su Xia nodded affirmatively. Distributing money according to households is indeed fair. Unlike work points, the more you earn, the more you get.

Su Xia listened for a while and then stopped listening because today was the day when the village distributed pigs.

It was almost time for the separation, and Su Xia's house was boring, so naturally she followed Chen's mother to take a look.

"Mom, sister-in-law, here!" Xia Lai Di shouted, and the others also looked over.

Then Su Xia began to be greeted warmly.

"Su girl, come here, come here..."

"Jianguo's wife, please come out and walk around more often. It's so boring to be home!"

"Auntie, please come over more often. There's no one at home anymore."

Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Chen's mother and said, "Isn't she more cool and stylish?"

Chen's mother also retorted, "Of course, no need to say anything."

Su Xia....

The other kids were also having fun watching this; the two of them had always been noisy from their youth to the present.

Su Xia also saw Su Xiulan in the group, who kept her head down and didn't look at her.

There were a few exceptions, but Su Xia didn't mind.

After looking around, except for the educated youth and Xiao Fang, everyone else was from the village.

"Su girl, are you curious why there are no educated youth?" asked an aunt.

Su Xia nodded.

My aunt didn't hide anything and said directly, "Because each generation of educated youth was worse than the previous one, they were doing the farm work in a muddled way. The team leader and his men decided that they couldn't let them take advantage of us, so apart from work points, they didn't give us anything else."

Chen's mother added, "Don't blame the captain. Those educated youth didn't do their job well and they kept asking for leave. Who could stand it?"

Su Xia...Everyone around her looked down on the educated youth, but in Su Xia's opinion, those educated youth might not lack those work points.

Why....

"Sister Chen, what kind of meat do you have at home?"

Hearing this, Mother Chen glanced at Su Xia, and Su Xia realized that they had arrived.

Then she saw that the others were also looking at her, so she had to go forward and take a look at the pork on the chopping board. The best meat was the white meat.

Su Xia didn't dare to look at it, because it was really disgusting.

"Mom, let's eat ribs!"

When Chen's mother found out, she said, "One pig liver and pig lung, the rest are all spare ribs."

The captain nodded, so that other villagers could get more.

The other villagers were also happy. Since Chen's mother and her family didn't share any of the spoils, they could get more of the leftovers.

Finally, Chen's mother Su Xia came with a pig's liver, pig's lungs, and 4 pounds of spare ribs in her hands. They were all good spare ribs, and according to later generations, they should be top-notch spare ribs.

Finally, I went back with Xia Lai Di and Liu Chunxia.

On the way, Xia Lai Di held the 5 kilograms of pork she had allocated to herself. This year, it was also worth two work points, but there was a lot of pork. In previous years, one pig would also weigh 2 kilograms.

Liu Chunxia also had two 3 jins of special meat from the two families, 2 jins of which were fat and lean.

He was not jealous of the ribs in Su Xia's hand.

"Sister-in-law, I heard from Jiandang that you are going back to the county town?"

Su Xia nodded. "Yeah, Jianguo has to run back and forth all the time. It's too much!"

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, and then Liu Chunxia asked in a low voice.

"During the Chinese New Year..."

Before Su Xia could say anything, Chen's mother said, "Of course I'll come back. Besides, your father and I are just going to stay for a few days and we have to come back!"

After saying this, he looked at his two daughters-in-law with annoyance.

"There are chickens and geese at home. I'll leave them for you. Will you still be angry when you come back?"

Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia were stunned for a moment, and then they were speechless.

What does "out of breath" mean?

Could it be that they were murdered?

Do you have the courage?

Phew....

Su Xia looked at her stunned sister-in-law, her shoulders relaxed, and she almost laughed out loud.

After returning to my home, I started to post...
