Chapter 132 The whole family goes to the farm!
In just two days, Xu Lan looked much more haggard. She sat there, wiping her tears and speaking in such a tone. Jiang Wanwan couldn't stand it instantly.
"Sister-in-law, why are you being so polite to me? Guoguo is my niece, how can I not love her?"
Jiang Wanwan pretended to be angry: "If you do this again next time, I will ignore you."
Xu Lan would never believe such words, but she also understood that Jiang Wanwan didn't care about these things, and couldn't stand such a scene. Xu Lan burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
"Hurry up and eat."
Jiang Wanwan continued to eat. After the meal, she and Shen Xingjiang called all the family members to Old Lady Shen's room.
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mr. Shen were sitting at the east end of the kang, while Gounuo, Guoguo, Suisui and Huunuo were playing beside them.
Wei Shufen and Shen Jianjun hadn't slept well these days and sat leaning against the west wall.
Wang Cuifen and Shen Hongjun were worried that Liu Yeju was the one who did it. Although Shen Erzhu had divorced Liu Yeju, he could not get rid of the fact that Liu Yeju was once a member of the second wife. They had not had a good rest in the past two days, so the couple pulled a stool and rested by the windowsill.
Xu Lan and Shen Dazhui were also sitting on the kang, talking to Guoguo from time to time. Everyone was still a little frightened.
Shen Sanzhu and Shen Erzhu sat on stools against the wall. Shen Sanzhu felt a little sleepy and yawned from time to time, while Shen Erzhu fell into deep self-blame, so ashamed that he dared not look up.
Shen Xingjiang and Jiang Wanwan, who had gathered everyone here, sat against a box on the ground. Shen Xingjiang rested his elbow on the old wooden box in a leisurely manner, while Jiang Wanwan half leaned on him. They were the only ones in the family who had caught up on some sleep, and they looked in good spirits.
When everyone was gathered, Old Lady Shen asked, "Fourth son's wife, why did you call us here in the middle of the night? What do you want to say?"
The second wife was the first to blame herself, thinking that Jiang Wanwan wanted to say something about what Liu Yeju had done.
Wang Cuixia had never made things difficult for Jiang Wanwan like Liu Yeju did before, but she had also misunderstood her. She thought Jiang Wanwan was going to say something to her, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
A candle was lit next to the box, and the light of the candle fell on Jiang Wanwan. The dim candlelight seemed to have coated her with a layer of tea background color unique to ancient paintings.
Jiang Wanwan's eyes softened: "I called everyone here not because of Liu Yeju's matter."
The second room all breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Cuixia asked cautiously: "No...it's not because of Liu Yeju...what do you want to say?"
Jiang Wanwan's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she spoke slowly, "The military farm is expanding, and the factory director has assigned me a project. We are short of manpower, and this project is very important, so we must hire people who know us well."
When everyone heard this, they all started to worry.
What does it mean?
Knowing everything about him, do you want to pick someone from your family to go to the military region to help?
Everyone thought about it, but no one dared to really think about it.
Ordinary people have no qualifications to enter military farms. It is a great honor for a family to have one or two people enter.
Glory is glory, and it is not something you can have just by thinking about it.
Jiang Wanwan kept it a secret for a while: "The factory manager said that since everyone in my family is honest and kind, we should all come to the farm and help me with the work!"
Plop, plop…
My heart is about to stop.
How desperate I was yesterday, how excited I am today.
Shen Sanzhu swallowed his saliva: “Sister-in-law, my ears seem to be problematic. What did you just say? You said…we can all go over, does this include me?”
When he was instigated by Liu Yeju, he wanted to covet the fourth brother's house.
The fourth son’s wife definitely won’t take him with her, right?
Jiang Wanwan glanced at Shen Sanzhu: “Including.”
Chen Sanzhu is an okay person, not particularly cunning, but he is a little anxious to find a wife.
Shen Sanzhu swallowed hard, "Oh my God, Dad, Mom! Did you hear that? I can go too."
Wang Cuixia and Shen Hongjun were both dumbfounded. What did it mean? Is that what they meant? Can they all go?
Seeing that no one had reacted, Jiang Wanwan said, "Everyone can go. Everyone here can go. Guoguo, Suisui, and the dogs Niuhuo can all go. The farm kindergarten is pretty good. Even the kindergarten is divided into small and medium classes, and the elementary school is also divided by age."
Old Mrs. Shen slapped her thigh and said happily, "This is great. The school in our brigade has first and fifth graders sitting in the same class. It's inconvenient for children to go to school and they are confused in class. It's great that they can get a good education in the military region!"
Wei Shufen couldn't help but grab Shen Jianjun's hand: "Jianjun, pinch me, I want to see if I'm dreaming."
How did she hear that their whole family was going to the military farm?
Oh my god, how could an old lady with half her body buried in the ground be blessed like this?
Shen Jianjun's square face was expressionless, and his inner feelings were no better than hers, but he still pinched her: "Does it hurt?"
Wei Shufen covered her arm and said, "It hurts."
Shen Dazhu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He gave Shen Xingjiang a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you have good taste. You married a good wife."
Shen Erzhu expressed great affirmation.
Liu Yeju and Jiang Wanwan are contrasting examples.
Shen Sanzhu secretly decided in his heart that he would work hard to marry such a wife in the future. No, he couldn't be greedy. It would be enough if he could be one percent as good as the fourth brother's wife.
Shen Hongjun and Shen Jianjun were very envious of Shen Yejun because their son was promising and their daughter-in-law was capable.
Shen Yejun rubbed his face, fearing that the corners of his mouth would stretch to his ears.
The children don’t know that their lives will undergo drastic changes in the future. They are happy to see the adults happy.
Gou Nao and his brothers and sisters said, "The military district is great. We have millet porridge to drink and white eggs to eat in the morning."
Old Lady Shen patted her arm twice, not too hard or too lightly: "Don't talk nonsense. We may not be able to eat this every day over there. The kids are greedy."
Gou Nao realized that he had said something wrong and shut up obediently.
Jiang Wanwan then dropped another landmine: "Don't worry about that. You don't need a ticket to eat there."
Xu Lan had been so bombarded with thoughts that she had forgotten the sadness of having her daughter lost once before: "You don't need a ticket, you need money, right?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded: "Yes, but each of you will be paid according to your physical strength and the work you are assigned. The prices in the military area are much cheaper than outside. Although the children will not receive wages, the adults in each room will receive money. For example, Uncle Zhu who works in the chicken coop, although he is old, he works more and can get more than 30 yuan a month."
"My grandparents are old, so they probably only make 18 or 19 yuan when they first start working, but if they do a good job, their salary can go up in the future. A laborer like Dazhu can probably make 20 or 30 yuan. These are set by the factory director, so it's hard for me to say for sure. I'll give you an example so you can understand."
The expressions of the entire family, young and old, men, women, and children, were all stunned.
That’s right, all of them!
Although I just received a piece of great news, this news is even more devastating than the previous one.
Jiang Wanwan spoke again: "The farm has good treatment. You are considered farm employees and cannot live in the military district family compound, but the farm has a yard exclusively for employees, and the whole family will live together. I will discuss with the factory director and try to group everyone together. During the holidays, the farm will also distribute eggs, flour, oil, or vinegar. It's different every time, and everyone can get a share."
