Chapter 108 The Most Unwelcome Person in the Village
Linjiaba is just upstream of this river!
In the north, when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, ox-drawn sleds are much more labor-saving and stable than ox carts with wheels!
Since the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the ox sleds have been packed every day. If you miss one, you can only slide on the sled yourself and keep going!
"Hey! Driver, wait for me, wait for us! Mom, hurry up!"
The ox-drawn sleigh was already full. The old man Li, who was driving the sleigh, frowned and glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were about ten meters away. He ignored them and flicked the ox whip, "Go!"
The old ox mooed twice, lifted its hooves with anti-slip soles, and sailed away from the shore!
"Hey! Old man Li! What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why are you still hurt? Ouch, my waist!!"
The ice surface was covered with frost, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were rushing to chase the ox cart almost fell down!
"Hey, Jianguo's mother, stop chasing me, there's no room in the car!"
"Who said that? There's room if we squeeze in. Oh, stop minding your own business. Old Li can't hear you because he's wearing a cotton hat. Why don't you tell him to stop?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao curled her lips, turned around and chatted with Grandma Lu beside her, and didn't respond anymore!
Old man Li lowered his eyebrows, and after the ox-drawn sleigh was running steadily, he sat on it and whipped the sleigh to make it go faster!
The only ones left were the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing on the shore, jumping up and down!
"It's only been a short time since Jianguo's mother came to the city, but she has already picked up all these bad habits. She looks down on everyone she sees. If you don't know her, you might actually think that Jianguo is some high-ranking official!"
"That's right. He came to my house yesterday to borrow some soy sauce. He kept saying how the city people are so rich. Why would he borrow soy sauce from them?"
If we talk about who is the most unpopular person in the Sikanzi Brigade now, it must be Li Jianguo's mother at the entrance of the village and his newly married wife!
Originally they were both honest farmers, but because their son got a job in a sawmill in the city, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed him to the city for a few days. They thought they had seen the prosperity of the city, and suddenly they felt superior to others, as if everyone had to flatter them, which made the villagers dislike them even more!
But they have no self-awareness!
Show off to whoever you catch!
"If you ask me, the one who has great potential is Lu Yao. He quietly joined the transportation company and started driving a big truck. Oh my goodness, that's a big truck. Only the most capable people can drive it!"
In this era, the most popular professions are 'stethoscope, fortune teller, labor and personnel section chief, salesperson'. Anyone who has anything to do with these will be looked up to!
Perhaps stimulated by the news that Du Chengyang and Feng Jiangong, two city dwellers, wanted to kidnap his young wife, Lu Yao went to the city for several days in the early spring of that year. In the end, he bought a job as a transport driver from an old businessman for 600 yuan, which he found out from somewhere!
Isn't it just a formal work? As long as you think about it, it’s not difficult!
Since then, his "side business" has been expanding smoothly along with his footsteps from the city of Qishan to the provincial capital, Bei'an City!
A true pig marshal~
"By the way, Aunt Lu, I heard that your Lu Yao bought a house in the county. Is that true?"
Grandma Lu smiled with wrinkles on her face, waved her hands, and said modestly: "No, there is no house for sale these days, I rented it from someone, for five dollars a month!"
"Oh, I rented it!"
Listening to that sound, I felt a little regretful!
"I have space at home, why do I need to rent a house in the county? What a waste!"
The young wife spoke with a bit of jealousy, saying how much money did their family earn throughout the year? The rent for the house was only five dollars a month, which was 60 dollars a year, almost catching up with their income in half a year!
"Aren't the couple going to get married soon? Lu Yao has moved to the city to work. After they get married, they can't live separately like this, one in the city and one in the country. So they just rented a house in the city! It's convenient!"
"Yes, come to think of it, I haven't congratulated little Ji Zhiqing yet, she's going to be a bride soon..."
"Yes, yes! Congratulations! After you get married, give Lu Yao a big fat boy as soon as possible..."
"It all depends on fate... By the way, Aunt Chunlin, your sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
"Yes, yes, the due date is right around the New Year, and I just want to buy some fine cotton cloth to prepare..."
After more than a year of training, she no longer blushes easily when hearing such jokes. She stayed close to Grandma Lu the whole time, eating the melon with great relish. Once the melon touched herself, she would cleverly change the subject!
The people in the car chatted from one topic to another, and soon, they arrived at Linjiaba Dayi unknowingly~!
