Sun Qing stared and said, "Of course they can get married. My son-in-law said that after they get married, he will introduce my son to the factory and let him do his job. He will teach him personally. It's more than 100 yuan a month, more than 100 yuan. If you are like me, your son will work with Xie Linan, do some hard labor, and be exploited by the family."
Old Lady Liu stared at him, "What's wrong with my son working for Xie Linan? He is helping our village. Outside masters charge seven yuan a day, but Xie Linan of our family charges us eight yuan a day. You are here to instigate and try to get rid of my son's job. No way. I won't be fooled by you."
"Well then." Old Ma, who knew the situation, said, "I heard everything. Her son Ye Zhengguo wants to go, but he wants to go."
"Oh, so it's like eating sour grapes."
A few old ladies mocked Sun Qing for a while. Sun Qing was so angry that he scolded them and then went home angrily.
Ye Zhengguo looked at her as if someone owed her some money, "What's the matter?"
Sun Qing kicked the broom away and said angrily, "What else can I do? It's all your good son-in-law's fault."
"What's wrong? Did you cause trouble for them again? Hey, we agreed to keep quiet for a while, wait until everyone's anger has subsided, and then visit relatives in peace. Why did you cause trouble again?"
"How could I have troubled them? I didn't go there. I heard from old lady Liu and others in the village that Xie Linan bought a new motorcycle and said he took care of the people in the village. Other bricklayers charge seven yuan a day, but he charges eight yuan a day for the people in the village."
"What? Eight pieces?"
"Yeah, if there's money to be made, you know to ask your father-in-law to go. Tell me, have we been supporting that damn girl for so many years in vain?"
Ye Zhengguo was heartbroken.
He knew that this silly girl was tough and could still be silly, so he couldn't treat her like that no matter what he said.
"Oh, it's all your fault. You think she's my ex-wife's daughter, so you've always been nice to her."
Sun Qing was happy to hear this.
"Ye Zhengguo, listen to what you are saying. She was left by your ex-wife, and also by my ex-wife. Why should I be nice to her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I right? You, as her biological father, are good to her, why should I be good to her?"
"I..." Ye Zhengguo said in annoyance, "I didn't expect that she could be so stupid."
"That's a hit on the head. When I loved her before, you protected her and said she could have a head injury, so she wouldn't have become even more stupid. She would have been lying on the bed and needed you to take care of her shit and piss. Look, she hit her head on the table and became stupid. If I had known, I should have hit her head earlier. I think she would have recovered a long time ago."
"Hey, what's the use of these?" Ye Zhengguo was also annoyed. How could he not feel uncomfortable when he was looking at a gold nugget, seeing it and touching it?
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now. We'll be nice to her from now on, so it's normal for her to be angry. After a few days, the anger will slowly dissipate. After all, I'm her biological father. Can she still recognize me as her biological father for the rest of her life?"
"That's true." Sun Qing said.
"By the way, how's the matter with Xiao Qiang going?" Ye Zhengguo asked again.
"Alas!" Sun Qing sighed and said, "The girl from the family thinks he is not serious."
Ye Zhengguo frowned and said, "He is ready and can do it. Let him do it."
"How can that work? You know, the girls in the city look up to the farmers in the city. What they mean by going to the city is that you have to have the respectability of the city."
"How can it be so easy to find a decent person in the city?"
"Don't worry, wait until Xiaochun and Qianjian's relationship is settled, and let Qianjian introduce him. Just do Qianjian's job, let Qianjian personally train him, and be his apprentice first, and then get a full-time job after two years. A month is over 100 yuan, isn't it better than that?"
Ye Zhengguo nodded, thinking this idea was wrong.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way. Send the eggs you collected at home to 仃春 and have her cook them for Qian Jian."
"Hey, let me count to see if I have reached ten."
…
Xie Li bought ten chickens, picked up some vegetable leaves for them to eat, and watched them frolicking in the yard.
Lin Xinghua came back from outside carrying a hoe and took one look at the yellow chickens. "Who bought these chickens?"
Xie Li said, "Grandpa, I bought it. I discussed it with Xiaozhen."
"Why are you thinking of raising chickens? They are hard to raise and it's a waste of money."
They had raised chickens before, but he had three grandsons, all of whom were rough and sloppy. The chickens they raised would die every time they were raised. They would buy a dozen chickens, but only one would die within a month. So they just stopped raising them.
Xie Li said, "Grandpa, chickens are easy to raise. I have more than a hundred of them in the mountains."
"Ah? More than a hundred? What about the chickens?"
"I sold it. I brought Hongxia down the mountain. No one was there to take care of it. I sold it all."
"Then you know how to raise them. It would be nice to have a few, but ten is too many."
"I think we have too many eggs at home now, and we need to eat eggs. If Xiaozhen gets pregnant, she will need chicken to nourish her body, and she will need old hen soup after giving birth. Ten eggs will definitely be enough. I'll keep them first, and we'll buy more when we can."
After hearing what she said, Lin Xinghua suddenly understood.
"You're thoughtful. Let's raise a few more."
Thinking of the chicken coop at the neighboring house of Old Lady Liu, Lin Xinghua asked again: "Should we prepare a chicken coop?"
"Yes, the chickens are still young now. I'll just need a broken basket to wait for them. They'll need a chicken cage when they grow bigger."
Lin Xinghua had an idea in mind, so he went to the bamboo forest in the afternoon, picked out some suitable bamboos, and took them home to build a chicken coop for the chickens.
…
When there was nothing to do at home, Lin Xinghua would carry a hoe and walk around the mountains to take care of the few acres of land at home.
Their house was the cleanest in the whole village. Not a single weed could be seen; all had been pulled out cleanly by Lin Xinghua.
He inspected the house and picked up any dead branches or firewood he saw on the roadside.
I went out in the morning and came back at noon carrying a large bundle of firewood.
Their woodshed is always full.
For him at this time, he actually said it was hard work, which was a half-playing state.
To Ye Xiaozhen, seeing how he limped and hunched over, and how idle he was at such an old age, it was really hard for him to go out every day carrying a hoe.
You know, in her time, grandpa would have retired long ago in this situation.
After lunch the next day, Ye Xiaozhen said to him, "Grandpa, you should rest at home if you have nothing to do. Don't go out."
Lin Xinghua said, "I have to go to the back mountain. There is a lot of firewood to be found in this season."
"Our woodshed is almost finished."
"Save more now so that you can stay at home during winter."
I took a nap and went out again. The sun is still quite bright at this moment.
Xie Li said to her, "Grandpa has always been like this, idle."
It's okay to be a little old.
