Chapter 225: Respect Old Lady Shang
Although Tan Mingshan was quite nice to him, he had no status in the family and could only do superficial work.
No one knew how much he longed for the love of his family elders.
The same goes for Shang Ruoting. Her parents died early in her previous life, and she grew up in her uncle's house. Although her uncle and aunt never gave her a hard time, there was a big difference between how her aunt treated her cousin and how she treated him.
Therefore, she and Tan Chen both have the same desire deep in their hearts, which is to have an elder who loves them.
Now, Mrs. Shang makes them feel all of this for real.
The old man never complains about the hardship or tiredness, and he truly devotes himself to his two children. Even if they are not related by blood, they will take good care of such an old man.
While expressing their gratitude to Old Lady Shang, the two drank hot ginger soup, feeling warm in their hearts. Such a life can be said to be in sharp contrast to the scumbag couple Shang Ruolian and Qiao Yuan.
Now, Shang Ruoting is just waiting for the resumption of the college entrance examination, so that she and Tan Chen can show their talents and become the first batch of college students of this era. In the future, they can develop their careers, have children, and be filial to Old Mrs. Shang.
The next morning, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen set off for Zhuang City again with the letter of introduction, and successfully signed a fruit and vegetable trading contract with the textile factory during the New Year's Day period.
At the same time, I also received a deposit of 500 yuan for fruits and vegetables from the textile factory.
A few days later, heavy snow came to Sihe Village with the cold winter. This was also the first snow in Sihe Village in 1976.
It was freezing cold, and although Shang Ruoting was still responsible for taking care of the chickens in the chicken coop, she didn't dare to feed them spiritual spring water anymore.
After all, the spiritual spring water is too supernatural. If you continue to feed it, the chickens will still lay eggs.
However, in this season, farming has not yet reached the advanced technology of later generations. Using some scientific methods, chickens can continue to lay eggs in winter.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing controversy, Shang Ruoting cut off the spiritual spring water for the chickens, allowing them to grow in accordance with the environment.
Now all the work in the chicken coop is done by Tan Chen, so every morning when Shang Ruoting gets up early, she just needs to go to the tofu shop to take a look.
Apart from the uproar caused by the Baishi earthquake, this year's harvest was pretty good, and Sihe Village had a bumper harvest.
Before New Year's Day, the production team's accountant had already counted all the materials that could be exchanged for work points.
Thanks to the income from the tofu shop, the villagers' income this year is much higher than before.
Although Shang Ruoting only earned less than half a year's work points, she earned the most in the village.
Together with Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen, their family ranks among the top in terms of work points earned in the village this year.
Shang Ruoting, an outsider, was very curious about the exchange of work points for supplies, so she dragged Old Lady Shang and Tan Chen to the door of the production team early in the morning.
There are more items that can be exchanged this year. In addition to some grains, cabbage, potatoes, and radishes, there is also more cash than in previous years.
Shang Ruoting's family has everything they need now, and her main purpose of coming here is to join in the fun and satisfy her curiosity.
The same is true for Tan Chen now. After he knew the existence of his wife's space, he also knew that the family was not short of money, but also of various kinds of food.
But that was not the case with Old Lady Shang. She had already calculated on the way here that this year the three of them would earn a lot of work points, and on the premise of storing enough food, they would also have to exchange it for some other food.
As for cash, for her, who has lived through so many years of hardship, the concept of it has become very vague.
Sihe Village has a few days every year for exchanging work points. For these villagers, this is the happiest time of the year.
Although some families earn few work points, they can exchange them for some resources to temporarily satisfy the family's basic needs.
In the courtyard of the production team, Deputy Captain Wang brought two young men, brought tables and chairs, and placed them at the gate.
The accountant sat at the table with the calculated work points account and called people in the order of the statistical table.
Of course, Shang Ruoting, the production team's number one contributor, naturally ranked first.
When the accountant called her name, she was so focused on watching the fun that she was still a little dazed.
It was Tan Chen who patted her shoulder gently: "Wife, I'm calling you."
Shang Ruoting pointed at her nose and confirmed again: "It's our turn so soon?"
Tan Chen smiled and pushed her: "You are the head of our family, go and exchange it."
Old Madam Shang also urged: "Tingting, go quickly."
Shang Ruoting came here just to watch the fun. Moreover, her space was rich in supplies and she had no idea about exchanging work points for supplies.
Thinking of this, she took Old Lady Shang and walked to the gate of the production team.
"Grandma, you have the final say on what our family can exchange this year."
