"Xinghua, look at your family. Your uncle's family is the most comfortable. They live in the city and don't have to work in the fields. If they don't come back, they don't even need to be in old age."
Cao Xinghua gave the man a blank look, "That's because he's capable of going to the city. Besides, my parents-in-law are taking care of themselves now. It's not time for them to retire yet. But what happened when your family almost got into a fight last time?"
Several women who were leaving work together also heard it clearly and couldn't help laughing.
The person who just spoke is Yu Xiujiu. Nowadays, every household has a large number of people, and their family is even more impressive. The old man and the old woman have raised five sons and three daughters in total.
The old couple is too old to earn work points now. Last time they had a big fight over the pension issue and made a lot of people laugh at them.
Yu Xiujiu failed to sow discord and instead brought trouble upon herself, being laughed at for no reason. She pouted and glanced sideways at Cao Xinghua.
"Xinghua, I'm speaking in your favor, why are you still being so mean?"
Cao Xinghua rolled her eyes silently, thinking to herself, our family and my brother-in-law's family are one family, and it would be disloyal to follow you in speaking ill of my brother-in-law's family.
But everyone was polite and didn't say things too bluntly.
Cao Xinghua was a rare woman of large build in the team. Gao Xiaoe recognized her from a distance and smiled sweetly, "Sister-in-law, are you off work? You've worked hard. Mom's cooking at home. I'll wait for you to eat!"
After saying that, he took the sickle from her hand.
Everyone in this production team was related to each other, and they were almost shocked to see that the city girl was actually giving things to the peasant sister-in-law.
The person involved, Gao Xiao'e, didn't feel anything. She admired the members who looked pale and thin from the bottom of her heart.
Everyone works hard, but the rewards farmers receive are pitifully small.
"Oh my, you're Jianguo's wife, right? You're so handsome. You came back at this time because you felt sorry for your brothers and sisters-in-law who were working hard on the farm, so you bought some supplements for them?"
Yu Xiujiu looked at Gao Xiaoe's delicate and fair face, and felt sour in her heart that she couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words.
How could people's fates be so different? If she had married Yu Jianguo, she would be the one enjoying a comfortable life without having to work in the fields.
Unfortunately, she was blinded by greed and did not like the fat and round Yu Jianguo. Instead, she married the good-looking Liu Tiezhu. She had to dig for food in the fields every day, and no matter how good-looking she was, she could not handle it.
The people nearby were watching the fun and nodded seriously, "Yeah, your brothers and sisters-in-law work in the fields every day, but you guys are having a good time in the city~"
Gao Xiao'e always felt that the way this person looked at her was uncomfortable. She glanced at Yu Xiuju up and down and said, "Hello, sister-in-law? Is it right for me to call you that? You are about the same age as my eldest sister-in-law, so I call you that."
Yu Xiujiu was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
She was one year younger than Yu Jianguo, and a full seven years younger than Cao Xinghua. How could they be about the same age?!
But looking at Gao Xiao'e, who was fair-skinned, beautiful and charming, she still didn't say it, otherwise wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
"Sister-in-law is right. We are usually busy with work in the city, so we rely on my brothers and sisters-in-law to take care of the family. Now that the farming season is over, I'll quickly use the meat coupons I saved to nourish my brothers and sisters-in-law!"
Gao Xiao'e kept calling Yu Xiujiu "sister-in-law", which made her face turn pale. She wanted to cover her mouth.
"Jianguo is back?"
"Why is Xiao E back? Isn't she going to work today?" Second sister-in-law Cao Meihua and third sister-in-law Cao Songhua also came back from work. Seeing that there were people gathered here, they squeezed Yu Xiujiu away without saying a word.
"Ouch--" Yu Xiujiu was almost squeezed into the field. After she stood firm, she was about to curse, but when she looked up, there was no one there!
The three sisters of the Cao family surrounded Gao Xiaoe and walked to the front!
Thinking of the fierce Cao Meihua and Cao Songhua, Yu Xiujiu decided not to go and bring bad luck upon herself.
"What? Our dad is in the newspaper?" On the way home, Yu Jianguo told the news to his brothers and sisters-in-law. They all opened their mouths wide and maintained the same shocked posture, expressing disbelief.
Yu Jianguo was puzzled, "Dad didn't even tell you?"
Didn't his dad just look like he knew all along? Why didn't he share this great news with his family?
"Let's go, let's go home and have a look!"
......
"Really? What I wrote was really published in the newspaper?" Qu Hua had just returned to the educated youth point when he received a big surprise and a "huge sum" of two yuan.
This is not just ordinary money, it is proof that her article has been recognized!
"Thank you, Xiaoning. If it weren't for your encouragement, I would never have thought that the insights I casually wrote down could be published in the newspaper.
I want to give you these two yuan."
Qu Hua solemnly handed the money to Ning Xi with both hands.
"Sister Qu, you are talented enough to be reported. Besides, we are comrades who support rural construction together. We should help each other. Just like last time you carried me to the clinic, I haven't thanked you properly yet!
This is the first two yuan. I believe you will have the second, third, fourth, and even thousands of more in the future!"
Ning Xi's bold words touched Qu Hua's heart. She had never believed that she could achieve such an achievement, but this success made her mind involuntarily start to fantasize...
"Well, I hope everything will get better and better for us!" Qu Hua took back the two yuan and carefully put it in his little notebook.
The atmosphere at the educated youth center was lively because of the reports of Ning Xi and Qu Hua's works. Even Yuan Yin, who had always been at odds with Ning Xi, looked at her with a bit of envy.
Liu Yang, an older educated youth who went to the countryside with Qu Hua, generously took out a small piece of bacon sent by his family, cut the whole piece into pieces and stir-fried it, and finally gave each person a thin slice.
