Qin Laosi was half leaning on the bed teasing Xiao Dou Miao. When he heard her words, he looked up at her.
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I don't know that when Third Sister-in-law taught you how to make mooncakes, you and Old Five were lazy and didn't want to learn at all?
Who would want to hire lazy people like you into the factory?
Look at what you have done these days, and what has your elder sister-in-law and second sister done?
The eldest sister-in-law went to the city with the third sister-in-law and didn't take a penny. The second sister went to collect grain by herself without a single complaint. If it were you, could you do the same?
If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy to let you into the factory either.”
Fourth brother's wife was so angry that she almost cried. She sat on the bed with her back to him, feeling so resentful.
Isn’t he her husband? He doesn’t speak up for her at all.
“I knew that no one in my family looked down on me, not even you.
If you really despise me so much, why did you marry me? "
“If you say that again, who in our family will look down on you?
My sister-in-law is busy at home and outside every day, and you take my salary and do nothing, yet you have a problem with it?"
“I don’t want to work this time, will your family give me a chance?
If I could work in the factory, wouldn't I work hard?"
"The factory only needs ten people, and only the best ones can enter the factory. I don't think you can learn after entering the factory. I think you don't understand.
Besides, didn't my eldest brother go to the city with my third sister-in-law? He didn't get a job at the factory, and he didn't say a word. Why do you have so many complaints?"
Hearing him say this, the fourth brother's wife thought of her elder brother Qin who still had to go to the fields, and she finally felt better.
However, she refused to admit her fault and argued, "Then he can still go to the city to play. If you let me go to the city, I will be happy to do so."
"I see you didn't get any advantage, and you feel unhappy.
I just don’t understand. You don’t have to work at home, so why are you vying to go to the factory?
I told you to stay home and take care of your baby, but you didn't want to go and suffer. I really don't know what you were thinking."
My fourth brother's wife is completely balanced. What he said is true. She has a salary to spend anyway, so why would she stay at home and enjoy herself and go to the factory?
Even if she can enter the factory, it will have to be after she gives birth. Her father said that he would let her enter the factory when there are more people. Maybe she can enter after she gives birth.
"What do you think about the matter I discussed with you last time?"
"What are you talking about?"
The fourth sister-in-law glared at him and said, "Don't play dumb."
"You talk so much every day, how can I remember what you said?"
"What else could it be? It's just about finding a wife for Hammer.
My parents' betrothal gift isn't enough, so why don't you ask us to borrow money? We have just enough on hand, so why don't we lend the money first? I'll definitely pay it back when Hammer has money later."
Qin Laosi never cared about this. As long as he didn't starve to death, he wouldn't worry.
What's more, this is his brother-in-law's wedding, so he has to do his part.
"You decide for yourself. Our baby is about to be born. You should save some money so that you don't run out of money when the baby is born."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
When he heard that his fourth brother's wife agreed, he no longer cared about the matter.
Shen An Nian came out of the shower and passed by the main hall, where he saw Qin's father counting the 500 yuan deposit.
As if he was afraid that he had counted incorrectly, he repeated the count again.
Looking at his cautious appearance, Shen Annian felt inexplicably sad.
Ordinary people also want to make money and have enough food to eat, but how much food can they get from the ground?
Agriculture has not yet been industrialized and there are very few machines.
There is a fertilizer plant in the county town, but the fertilizer production is limited. Special approval is required to obtain fertilizer, and each brigade receives a very small amount.
Without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, the amount of grain that can be harvested in a year depends entirely on the farmers' careful care of the crops.
If a natural disaster occurs, such as a strong wind or a rainstorm, the farmers' hard work for half a year can be destroyed.
Their journey has always been difficult, not only for the farmers but also for the country. However, everyone worked together and got through those difficult years.
In the past, when she read historical materials and watched audio and video of the past, she would sigh that the times were difficult and have no other thoughts.
But only when she herself is in this torrent can she truly empathize.
The farmers have it so hard, and the country has it so hard.
She walked forward and asked, "Dad, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Father Qin suddenly came to his senses and said, "It's the third daughter-in-law. I feel like I'm dreaming. How come I suddenly got so much money?
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but farmers like us can't save more than 20 yuan even if we work hard all year round, and you've earned more than 2,000 yuan in just a few days. I feel uneasy."
"Dad, I understand how you feel. When you were born, our country was in the midst of war. Let alone having enough food to eat, even staying alive was a problem.
By the time of my eldest brother's generation, there was no more war and the country was at peace. Although life was a little harder, at least they didn't have to go hungry.
Our lives will be better with each generation, better year by year, and better in the future. Isn't this the result we all want through our joint efforts? "
Father Qin's heart was filled with emotion when he heard her words. Apart from nodding, other words could not express his excitement at the moment.
"Well said. It's always better to be educated. Your words really hit the nail on the head."
Shen Annian poured cold water on him, "Dad, it's a good thing to get the order, but we only have one week to complete it. If we can't deliver on time, we will lose money."
Father Qin was so frightened that his tongue almost tied. "You want compensation?"
