Chapter 117 The production team is proud of Jiang Wanwan
After leaving the military area, Qin Xiao's belly swelled up like a balloon. Roughly speaking, she was already more than eight months pregnant and was about to give birth.
Jiang Wanwan rented a small yard in the suburbs of the county town in the name of Erzhuzi. Qin Xiao was also getting old, so she brought Grandma Bao to take care of her. The care was not in vain, as she was paid five yuan a month. Grandma Bao was very happy that she could still make money even though she was old.
She usually accompanies Qin Xiaoye to the hospital and helps her wash clothes and cook. When Jiang Wanwan came, Grandma Bao cooked millet porridge, and Qin Xiaoye had just eaten half a bowl.
After leaving the army, she changed back into women's clothes, wearing a blue dress, her hair grew longer, and she looked much softer.
Qin Xiao was also surprised to see Jiang Wanwan: "You are here."
Jiang Wanwan bought her an egg cake, and Qin Xiao was craving for it, so she ate two pieces right away.
"How is Cheng Hanzhang's health?"
Recently, she always dreamed of Cheng Hanzhang dying at night. She woke up several times and couldn't sleep well.
She looked like she was eating happily, but she was actually listening with her ears perked up, waiting for Jiang Wanwan's answer.
Jiang Wanwan hesitated and said, "It's about the same as before." She knew that Cheng Hanzhang was in poor health, but she never thought that she would only have two or three years to live. Her child is about to give birth, so she won't tell her about this for the time being.
"When you give birth, I will take some time off and come to accompany you."
Jiang Wanwan's tone was gentle and soothing.
It was Qin Xiao’s first time giving birth, and she had no relatives to take care of her. She was scared, but after hearing Jiang Wanwan’s words, she was not so scared anymore.
She put down the egg cake and thanked him gratefully: "Thank you."
"That's polite."
Jiang Wanwan stayed with her until the afternoon before going back.
In the army, Jiang Wanwan was allocated some food and soy sauce every month. She spent most of her time in the chicken coop and rarely cooked.
...It’s definitely not because I’m not a good cook that I don’t make it.
So she saved up three bottles of soy sauce, several packets of salt, and some seasonings. Recently, when she had some free time, she borrowed a bicycle from the army and went back to the production team with the food.
The second and fourth farms have already sown seeds and cultivated seedlings, and the production team is almost done with their work. After planting the seeds, they have a short period of time to rest.
Dazhu, Erzhu and Sanzhu of the Shen family were busy building the house. When Jiang Wanwan passed by the nice piece of land by the creek on her way back, she saw the men of the Shen family were busy there.
The foundations of the two houses have been laid, with piles of yellow sand and soil and a pile of broken bricks next to them. Nowadays, people rarely use cement and red and green bricks when building houses, as they are only affordable by the rich.
Xu Lan was helping out nearby. She was wearing a gray coat, her hair was covered in dust, and her face was much darker than before.
"Sister-in-law."
Jiang Wanwan called her.
When Xu Lan heard Jiang Wanwan's voice, she ran over in surprise: "Oh, Wanwan, you're back!"
She saw that Jiang Wanwan was more energetic than usual, and had an indescribable temperament: "You haven't gone home yet, let's go back and talk."
"Um."
Jiang Wanwan got off the bicycle and pushed it back with her. Whenever she met old acquaintances from the team on the way, Jiang Wanwan would say hello.
She smiled sweetly and was very polite, calling everyone uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, and auntie, and everyone in the team was flattered.
Everyone knows that Jiang Wanwan is now a big celebrity in the military region. It is said that she bred chicks and even made the newspapers.
Artificial cultivation, newspapers, these words are too far away for the people in the team.
As far as the production team is from Beijing.
They didn't understand and thought Jiang Wanwan was very awesome. Such an awesome person made them have the illusion that they were on the ground and Jiang Wanwan was in heaven.
And this rural daughter-in-law who flew to the sky actually greeted the team with a smile when she returned.
That feeling makes them feel like they have become a fairy, and they can even brag about it when they tell others about it.
They felt that way, but Jiang Wanwan didn't. She was just a drop in the ocean. If she was luckier, she could marry a good man, have a sensible in-law family, and go out and make a living.
That's all, there is no difference.
After Jiang Wanwan and Shen Xingjiang left, they gave Old Lady Shen ten yuan every month, which she could use as she pleased. Old Lady Shen lived a comfortable retirement life in her old age.
All the children and grandchildren are promising. The older ones build houses, and the younger ones study.
When other people's children were yelling at you for money, her grandson began to respect her. When other people's great-grandsons were calling others naughty, the poems her great-grandchildren recited were about the red sun and the little white boat in their dreams.
Old Mrs. Shen had nothing to do, so she sat at the door fanning herself.
Whenever she sat there, the women in the team would come over to chat with her and learn her ways of managing a household.
Today, when we were talking about Jiang Wanwan, a young wife asked, "Grandma Shen, do you know how your fourth daughter-in-law got the chicks?"
Everyone wants to learn. After all, not everyone has old hens. If you learn Jiang Wanwan's method of raising chicks, it will be much cheaper to buy a few breeding eggs.
These people all want to find out secretly.
Old Lady Shen shook her head: "I don't know, that doesn't mean the person has returned, go ask them yourself."
Old Mrs. Shen was very happy when her granddaughter-in-law came back.
She stood up and waved to Jiang Wanwan with a smile.
Jiang Wanwan hasn't seen Old Lady Shen for a long time, and she misses the old lady so much.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
Jiang Wanwan put down her bicycle, walked over and hugged Old Lady Shen: "Grandma, I miss you so much."
This scene made many young girls and wives envious.
If you don’t know, you might think they are the grandmother and granddaughter.
Old Lady Shen's eyes were moist. "It's good that you're back. Old Fourth Wife, our team wants to ask you, can you teach us your method of raising chicks?"
“Yes.”
Jiang Wanwan let go of Old Lady Shen and said to everyone with a smile: "The military district and the nearby communes have reached a consensus. In the next few days, I will lead people to various communes to give lectures on 'artificial breeding and cultivation'. I have already applied to the military district, and the first place to settle down is our production team."
She couldn't help being vulgar, and would always think of her own production team when something good happened.
This is not only convenient, but also makes the team feel proud.
"That's great! It has to be someone in our team, otherwise who would get such a great deal."
Everyone heard that the military district was connected to the commune, and the commune would send people to study and then teach the various production teams, but Jiang Wanwan made an exception and came to their team, and she was the first to come.
This, this is not just teaching, this is also a huge form of favoritism!
Who knows how people outside might envy the people in their team!
There was a young wife who had just married in. She was simple-minded and had tears in her eyes. She said, "My four older sisters all married better-off families than me. When I came here, they laughed at me for marrying poor. I think it won't be long before their eyes pop out of their heads in envy!"
