"Isn't this just ungrateful? Don't give her a good face and let her know that the pot is made of iron. My second uncle used to manage the team very well.
Those who don't obey will all be sent back to the commune and sent to more remote brigades where they can't even get enough to eat. If you treat them too well, they will bite you back. Most of them are ungrateful and can't be tamed."
Xu's mother agreed very much. She was right. Isn't it just that they can't be tamed? The people in the brigade have helped them so much.
Not only did they not thank them, but they also said that they were a bunch of peasants and had no manners.
Bah, every family has been poor peasants for three generations, what do they have to be proud of?
So, is life in the city better than in the countryside? Meals are rationed, but they can eat as much as they want.
After walking around twice, they had a preliminary impression of the brigade. At night, they slept at Xu's house.
Lu Sidi pulled Jiang Yan and asked her to sleep with him. Jiang Yan did not refuse. She handed the baby to Miao Xiuying and went to the Youth League Home.
It has been a long time since she lived in the educated youth dormitory, and she was still sighing in her heart that she used to be considered an educated youth killer.
Those people would get a headache whenever they saw her, but now they feel a different mood.
The two of them lay on the bed, chatting casually. From Jiang Yan's mouth, Lu Sidi learned about the rapid changes in Beijing, which made her more and more yearning for it.
She must settle her family in Beijing, work hard to make a name for herself, and give her children a better life.
As they were chatting, Lu Miaoyan joined in. Jiang Yan was not much older than them, so what she said was something they could understand.
As I was talking, I didn't know when I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside.
Outside, the horn sounded, signaling the start of work. Jiang Yan automatically blocked it out and fell asleep again.
Around eleven o'clock, she woke up, slapped her forehead, and said in frustration: "I've been so lazy at home, it's hard to change my routine. Have you eaten yet?"
Lu Sidi and Lu Miaoyan were dressed up and in high spirits.
Lu Miaoyuan smiled sweetly, "Sister-in-law, just go to sleep. There's nothing to do anyway. My sister and I only go to the fields during the double harvest season. We're too lazy to go out on other days."
She couldn't recognize all the educated youth living under the same roof as her, after all, they were not close and had no connections.
We'll go our separate ways in the future, and you'll be able to use the backdoor when you become successful? Bah, forget it. If he wants to live a good life, he just wants to step on you.
You don't think he'll give you a backdoor, do you? People have such a low mentality.
Therefore, don’t take useless social interactions too seriously. Just let what they say go in one ear and out the other, and keep your mind blank.
Jiang Yan yawned. She didn't get enough sleep. The weather here was comfortable, but it was a bit hot in Beijing, especially in the afternoon. It was like being in a bamboo cage.
Now, don't be too cool.
Lu Sidi smiled gently, "The food at home is ready, just waiting for us to come over. I said hello to Qingshan."
She traveled thousands of miles on the train, and she didn't know how tiring it was. She couldn't eat or sleep well, which made her feel depressed.
Or maybe she married far away. If she married nearby, these things wouldn't have happened.
Jiang Yan took her hand and patted it. "We came to the Northeast and planned to dig some medicinal herbs. After we finish eating, we will go up the mountain. We haven't been active for a long time. This time we will treat it as a trip. A relative is visiting us during the New Year, so we can save on accommodation expenses."
Lu Sidi knew that she was trying to comfort him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, let's go after we finish eating. We will definitely gain a lot today. I even checked the almanac."
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "You are too particular about choosing the right day to go out. I never come down the mountain empty-handed."
Lu Miaoyan didn't believe it, "Is it true? Sister-in-law, are you that powerful?"
Looking at Jiang Jiaodi, he is the type who can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. How can they believe you when you say he can hunt wild game?
This is the pampered young lady.
Jiang Yan snorted and said proudly, "Very impressive. Let's go eat first. My stomach is rumbling and starting to protest."
She has the habit of eating breakfast. If she doesn't eat it, she always feels like something is missing. She has to eat something to fill her stomach to avoid getting stomach problems due to hunger.
With the spiritual spring water, you don’t have to ruin your body like this.
The three of them rushed over and just arrived in time for dinner. Xu's mother made pumpkin pancakes, kimchi, minced meat and beans, and fried ten eggs and three duck eggs.
Probably all that could be used to entertain guests at home was taken out. Jiang Yan's eyes lit up as she ate the sour, spicy and crispy kimchi. It was so delicious.
Xu's mother is such a surprise?
Xu's mother smiled and said, "Do you like it? I made several jars of it. When you leave, I'll pack some spicy cabbage for you. It's very durable."
This is made using our secret recipe, which may be different from yours. The main feature is its sour, spicy and refreshing taste. His father has loved eating it for many years, and I have also gained some experience.
There are also bean sprouts. We have plenty at home, soaked and dried. We can't eat them all. They grow so fast. You can take some back home. It will be enough to last you for a long time."
There are a lot of bean sprouts here. When July and August come, I feel annoyed when I see them. This is probably the problem of people in the north.
Eat so much bean curd until you vomit.
Miao Xiuying did not refuse. She said, "You can make soup with the seafood we brought someday. They are all dried and easy to store. Don't put them in a humid place or they will get moldy.
We also grow cowpeas, which we call cowpeas. The name varies in different places, but you’ll know once you taste them. I quite like them.
I used to be diligent and would do these delicate tasks, but now I’m lazy. If I want to eat, I just go out and buy some and don’t feel like doing anything.”
Xu's mother chatted with her, "You have to do it. If no one in the family does anything, there will be nothing to eat. I want to learn how to do business from you and make a lot of money. I don't want to do housework either.
It's best to leave it to a man. If he doesn't do it, I'll kick him out. We women can't let men control us. Men have to listen to us."
Father Xu and Lu Jianguo looked at each other, both of them thinking that their lives were miserable. Their wives were too fierce and they couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only obey her.
They have never experienced what others say about being the boss of the household. When their wives yell at them, they tremble.
Of course, to the outside world, they do not admit that they are henpecked, saying that this is a manifestation of their love for their wives.
If they love their wives, they will be prosperous; if they don’t love their wives, they will be miserable. They know what kind of life they want to live, because their wives are their lifeblood.
Miao Xiuying said modestly: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just a small business, and my husband needs to help me, otherwise I won't be able to handle it.
The business is stable and the daily income is considerable. I feel happy when I see the wallet getting fatter and fatter.
I was feeling weak at first, but seeing the great unity, I felt revived. Money is everything.”
When talking about making money, her eyes lit up and it was obvious that she really enjoyed doing business.
Xu's mother slapped her thigh and said, "I was so excited after hearing what you said that I couldn't sleep. It was like picking up money."
