Lin Meiyu didn't know what to say now. She remembered that Wu Dejun seemed to have studied for one or two years. Even if he didn't study well, he shouldn't be illiterate.
"I heard that there are people in the city who pick up coal and sell it to make money. It seems that this does not distinguish between urban and rural residents. If it really doesn't work, let Jianjun do this job first. Picking up coal is quite profitable." Lin Meiyu said.
Every time a coal train passed through their county, many people would go to the railway crossing with sacks to pick up the coal. Some children would pick up the coal with baskets, so that they wouldn't have to spend so much money to buy coal in the winter. Some would pick up the coal themselves and then sell it secretly, which was also a job.
Although doing so is definitely not in compliance with regulations, since the people will not report it and the officials will not investigate it, everyone just turns a blind eye and acquiesces.
"No, this job is too dangerous. What if Wu Dejun gets arrested?" Lin Meishuang was the first to deny.
She also knew about this job, but she was not confident in letting Wu Dejun do it. Wu Dejun was a blockhead, and his mind would not work when he encountered anything. Although this job was not very dangerous, if Wu Jianjun was unlucky and was reported, he would not be able to make up a lie.
If this doesn't work, Lin Meiyu will have no other options. After all, she is a country girl and doesn't have much experience. If you ask her to give Lin Meishuang some constructive advice, she won't be able to say it.
Lin Meishuang thought about it and found that Wu Dejun's personality was really not suitable for him to do anything. Finally, she could only sigh, "Forget it, it's safe and sound. It's Fujian Jun. Although he is a little bit simple-minded, at least he is willing to work hard and is also a good hand at farming. Let's talk about the future later. I'll take my time to find a wife."
"That's right." Lin Meiyu was glad that Lin Meishuang could think it through. "After all, we are marrying a wife for the German army. If the wife we marry doesn't get along well with the German army, then we are no longer sisters. Wouldn't that mean we have a grudge? We still have to marry a girl that the other side is willing to marry."
"Actually, I know what you said. I understand that the girls I wanted to see before didn't want to marry here. I would also be unhappy if my Wu Juan married into an environment that is not as good as mine. But when I think about it, I feel a little uncomfortable. You said that my family is pretty good, but the conditions at home are a little worse. I originally thought that if I couldn't find a particularly good one, I could at least find a down-to-earth one. But look at this, it's been delayed until now and there is still no sign of it. I feel bad about it." Lin Meishuang said.
What it all comes down to is that no matter how you look at other people's children, it's wrong, but no matter how you look at your own children, it's fine.
She thinks so, and so do other people in her family. To be honest, she can't blame others.
After thinking about it this way, Lin Meishuang became more open-minded. She was not as anxious as before and decided to take it slow.
They put all the prepared food into basins, then went to the east room and busied themselves setting up the table for a while before finally bringing all the food to the table.
There were really a lot of people in the house, including Grandma Lin. She had three daughters, but each of them brought their sons-in-law and children home, so there were three full tables.
After finishing the meal, everyone cleaned up and sat for a while before going home or going to bed. Lin Meishuang was worried about her old lady at home, so she left early.
On the morning of the third day of the New Year, Lin Meiyu and her friends went home after breakfast.
As soon as Tian Zhuo entered the house, he ran to play with Tian Mu. He had been feeling bored at his grandma's house for the past few days.
Zhang Lanru and Zhang Yan came to visit, and Tian Lili also chatted with them at home.
Tian Lili did not go back to her grandmother's house for the New Year this year, but instead spent the New Year with her second uncle and his family.
Also because Li Jianjun did not come back this year, Tian Lili's old mother-in-law can no longer control Tian Lili. She lets Tian Lili go home to take her share of pork and then return to her parents' home.
"Sister! Sister!" Zhang Yan was so excited when she saw Tian Tian coming back. She slid down from the kang and ran towards Tian Tian in her little shoes.
Zhang Yan is three years old now, and she speaks very crisply. Tian Zhuo, whom Tian Tianji remembers, spoke unclearly when he was five years old, but Zhang Yan speaks like spitting out beans, lightly and neatly.
She was also very clever, and dared to get off the kang by herself at the age of three. When Tiantian saw Zhang Yan getting off the kang for the first time, she was worried that she would fall, but she didn't expect that she would slide down by herself by holding onto the edge of the kang with her butt facing outward.
The kang they were using at that time was not low. At least when Tian Tian sat on it, her feet couldn't reach the ground, which was about one meter. However, this height was like a cliff for a child. It was really courageous of Zhang Yan to come down by herself.
"Oh! Let me see who's here. It's our little swallow." Tian Tian happily picked up Zhang Yan who was running towards her.
Tian Tian has to take classes outside for more than half a year every year, so she doesn't see Zhang Yan very often, but Zhang Yan still likes Tian Tian very much.
There were quite a few children in the families living near them, but they were all about the same age as Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo. Children of this age were unwilling to go out and play with children younger than them, so Zhang Yan'er had no playmates.
Although Tian Tian rarely came back, she often played with Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan liked her very much.
Tian Tian didn't hate Zhang Yan either. Although Zhang Yan was still a child, she was already very sensible. Even if things didn't go her way, she wouldn't cry or make a fuss, but would sit next to her and play by herself. Not long after, she would come over to play with her as if nothing had happened.
Sometimes Tian Tian didn’t want to play with the children, and Zhang Yan didn’t bother her.
Sometimes Tian Tian felt a little sorry for Zhang Yan and played with her, which made Zhang Yan become even more attached to Tian Tian.
Moreover, Zhang Yan was very cute, fair, tender, chubby and soft. Zhang Lanru and Aunt Huang took very good care of Zhang Yan. She was not dirty at all and was always clean. That was why Tian Tian was willing to play with Zhang Yan.
"Sister! Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhang Yan said while hugging Tian Tian's neck.
"I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to my grandma!" said Tian Tian.
"Grandma? What is a grandma? Do I have a grandma too?" Zhang Yaner asked.
