Chapter 171 Winter Passes and Spring Comes



As soon as I went out, I saw Yang Qing and Yang Tian coming over.

They came to look for Zhou's family.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do and as he was in a hurry to go to work, Hu Xiaoyi left first.

Li Aihua welcomed the two into the house, and the Zhou family looked at them with some trepidation.

Yang Shu and Yang Tian entered the house and sat at the round table with the Zhou family.

Li Aihua poured them some water.

Yang Shu has been very busy lately, so he didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"I am Yang Qing, the leader of the Construction Production Team, and she is Yang Tian, ​​the team scorekeeper."

Yang Shu first introduced the identities of the two people, and then got to the point.

"We are here today to register you. This will be used to record your work points in the future and to distribute food at the end of the year."

Zhou Honggan didn't expect the village to arrange for them to work so soon, and quickly responded: "We will follow the arrangements."

"Okay, tell me your name and age."

Yang Shu was businesslike, not at all as gentle and casual as he was when he came to our house for dinner on New Year's Eve last year.

Each member of the Zhou family reported their age one by one. Zhou Honggan and Xu Mingzhu were 41 and 39 years old respectively.

The elderly couple Zhou Anbo and Jiang Qiao are 68 and 62 years old respectively.

Brother and sister Zhou Huaimin and Zhou Huai'en were ten and five years old.

After the family members reported their ages and names, Zhou Honggan asked, "Captain, I want to ask, what kind of work will my parents be assigned to?"

Because of their current status, he was worried that his parents, who were already so old, would have to do heavy work.

"Looking after the farm, raising pigs, herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs and cattle, etc."

After Yang Shu finished answering, he continued,

“Currently, Mr. Zheng is the only one responsible for the pigs and cattle in the village.

The village held a meeting and decided to increase the amount of sideline businesses this year. When the piglets come out, the two elderly people in your family will follow Lao Zheng to raise pigs and cattle. ”

This was also the result of his discussion with his father.

The Zhou family also has a son named Zhou Huaijing who is serving in the army, so this cannot be treated as an ordinary case.

After hearing this, Zhou Honggan smiled with relief and looked much more relaxed.

Seeing this, Yang Shu added, “But you two have to do the heaviest work.

Otherwise, if our superiors ask us about it, we won’t be able to explain ourselves.

There are also children who are ten years old and above who have to participate in the harvest during the autumn harvest.

This is a strict rule in the village and everyone is treated equally. ”

"Okay, okay." Zhou Honggan looked at his child who still had confusion and gloom in his eyes but pretended to be sensible, and felt very distressed.

Xu Mingzhu's eyes also turned red.

Before this incident happened, her two children used their hands to hold pens and had never even swept the floor at home.

Now they have to go to the fields to work.

When Zhou Huaimin heard that he had to work, he blinked and gave his parents a comforting smile.

His eldest brother told him when he left that he was the pillar of the family when his eldest brother was not around.

Help your parents through difficult times and don’t make them feel embarrassed or sad.

He promised his elder brother that he would do it.

Seeing that the family had no objections, Yang Shu continued, "The educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the production teams all had a training process.

There are only four of you and your situation is special, so it is not easy for the village to assign someone to teach you separately.

So I want my aunt to do this for me. ”

Yang Shu said this and glanced at Li Aihua.

Li Aihua also knew the Zhou family’s true identity and responded with a smile: “No problem.

In the spring, the family's private plot will also be turned over, which is a good opportunity for them to practice. ”

The Zhou family had no problem with this, but they were startled when they heard the word "educated youth".

I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I wasn't sure.

"Okay, one week later, you and Hu Xiaoyi will start working together."

Everything was settled, Yang Shu and Yang Tian were both fine, so they exchanged a few polite words and left.

When Zhou Honggan saw this, he got up and chased after him.

Ask Yang Shu, "We want to build a house next to the cowshed. What is the procedure for this in the village?"

When Yang Shu heard this, he looked at Zhou Honggan in surprise, and at Xu Mingzhu who followed them out, and then looked at Hu Lin who was standing in the room.

Then he replied: “As for this matter, when you have some free time after you start working, go ask the village chief.

This kind of thing is none of my business. ”

Yang Shu didn’t say much about the details.

But he knew what the inside story was.

His dad told him.

After seeing Yang Shu and Yang Tian off, the Zhou couple were a little confused.

But the habits and sensitivity that Zhou Honggan had developed over the years made him realize that things were not that simple.

He looked at Hu Lin suspiciously, and Hu Lin looked at him calmly.

This clear conscience made Zhou Honggan unable to detect any clues for a moment.

But he always felt that this matter was related to Hu Lin.

It was because of Hu Lin that their family was able to temporarily live in the Hu family.

I've been thinking about it, but I still have no clue.

Zhou Honggan put it aside for the time being, and took the old couple with Xu Mingzhu, picked up the hoe, and followed Li Aihua to the private plot behind the house to turn the soil.
