As soon as the words fell, all eyes around him were focused on Wan Qingliu.
Getting a bicycle ticket is no easier than getting a hundred yuan. If you have bicycle tickets, money will not be such a big problem.
Wan Qingliu had just said that his family couldn't afford a bicycle. I thought he was telling the truth, but I didn't expect he was hiding something.
Thinking about how they were agreeing just now, everyone's face felt a little painful.
Wan Qingliu calmly picked up the ticket and put it back in his pocket, then continued to harvest rice.
In fact, beneath her calm appearance, she was already sweating profusely.
My dear, please don't give all your precious things to me! You are causing me so much trouble!
After cutting for a while, she pretended to wipe the sweat from her head while taking a break.
Without saying a word, he bent down and continued cutting. The sickle moved like the wind, pulling and cutting in one go, one crop after another, flowing like flowing water, with quick and skillful movements.
What are you thinking about? The busy farming season and the double harvest season are no joke. There's no time to waste.
If you have anything to say, you have to finish your farm work first.
The onlookers only glanced at Wan Qingliu and Wang Dajuan, and then everyone lowered their heads and rushed to harvest the rice.
In the Jiangnan region, there are two harvests a year.
Do not plant rice seedlings after May 1st, and do not harvest rice after August 1st. This means that all rice seedlings must be planted before May 1st, otherwise it will be too late.
Not harvesting rice after August means that the mature rice should be harvested before August, and then the second crop of seedlings should be planted immediately.
The busiest time is the period before August, when we have to harvest and sow.
The rush to harvest and plant is commonly known as "double harvest".
But being busy with work doesn't mean everyone's mind is not focused, and Wang Dajuan felt a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Wan clearly had a ticket in her pocket, but she said she couldn't afford it. Wasn't she clearly treating her as a fool?
She herself is actually not very satisfied with Hua Wanli.
Although the Hua family is well-off and Hua Wanli's parents are both working, Hua Wanli has no job!
By then, her son will have to support Hua Wanli, a freeloader, so won’t there be less money for the family?
Hua Wanli's grandparents and her in-laws are from the same village. The other party has the support of her natal family, so it is not easy for her to control Hua Wanli after marriage.
But the eldest son has a bad relationship with his family, and her words as a mother have no weight.
Her son has set his sights on Hua Wanli, and she can't change him. She really won't be willing to give up if she doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits.
It is said that Mrs. Wan favors the eldest and fourth sons. She was so happy that she gave eggs to the second son even though he only gave birth to a daughter. Now that the eldest daughter is getting married, she should not be stingy in buying some dowry.
Now it seems that Wang Dajuan had made a mistake. She needs to reconsider the marriage between her son and the eldest granddaughter of the old man's family.
Wan Qingliu was also thinking about it. Originally, her family had no plans to buy a bicycle, and if the ticket had not been discovered, she would not have planned to use it.
But she doesn't plan to sell it either, and she will definitely keep it for when it is useful.
But wasn't it discovered? The bicycle ticket that the granddaughter signed for was probably given to her grandmother because she didn't need it and didn't want to waste it.
Since everyone has seen it, you might as well use it openly. Even if people are envious, jealous, and hate you, you can't say anything.
Just think carefully about who you’re giving it to.
She and the old man didn't use it very often. There was nothing missing at home, and even if there was, the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have that much to buy.
The daily chores in the fields are so simple that I can't even walk a few steps without using a bicycle.
The eldest son's family is somewhat useful. After all, the children of the older family will come back to the village to stay for a few days every now and then.
Everything in the city is good, except that the space in the houses is really limited.
When the children come to the village, they can each live in a room. The living conditions are good, the food is not bad, and they don’t have to work. Naturally, they are happy to come back and play from time to time.
The second child was simply ignored by her and lived in the village, so why would he use a bicycle?
The third daughter is married, so it’s not impossible for her to have it if she wants it. I can sell it to her at a price that reflects the family’s affection.
The fourth brother is a soldier, so he doesn’t have to worry about these things.
Lao Wu was a teacher in the commune, five miles away from the village. He was lazy and didn't want to walk so far, so he usually stayed at his uncle's house and only went home when he had a break.
Although it is summer vacation now, Lao Wu said that he had something to do and stayed in the commune instead of going home.
The fifth child is already quite old and still unmarried, so buying a bicycle will make it easier for him to find a wife. Compared to the eldest child, the fifth child is actually the one who needs a bicycle the most.
After thinking about it, Wan Qingliu made a decision.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter. After a busy morning, everyone took a break in the fields and waited for their families to bring them food.
The one who brought food to Hua Tiansheng and Wan Qingliu was Hua Wanli.
There were only four people in the family. Zhou Yujiao was in confinement after giving birth, and Hua Xuguo was at home taking care of his wife during her confinement. Hua Wanchi was still in swaddling clothes.
Originally, Hua Xuguo planned to deliver food, but Hua Wanli was bored, so she took on the job.
Originally, Wan Qingliu was responsible for taking care of the wife during confinement. One reason was that it was more in line with the traditional division of labor for a woman to stay at home and take care of her wife during confinement. Another reason was that men could earn more work points by doing farm work.
But Wan Qingliu has been studying in modern times for more than 20 years, and has been browsing a lot of certain platforms and audio platforms, so his thinking has reached the next level.
Since women also have to do farm work, why can't men serve others?
Wan Qingliu didn't want to care about her son and daughter-in-law's affairs. Whoever's daughter-in-law was the one to serve. She only cared about ensuring the material conditions for her daughter-in-law to have confinement after childbirth.
Hua Xuguo can also take care of the children at home, so as to avoid being a hands-off boss with no feelings for the children and favoring boys over girls, which would make Chi Chi feel wronged.
The family doesn’t rely on work points to exchange for food, so the less the better.
Leaving a man at home makes it easier to do any physical work, and it also ensures the safety of other people in the family.
