Soon, the Lei family started eating. After the head of the family, Lei, started to eat, the children could not wait to reach out for the fish.
"Awooo...the little fish are so delicious, one bite at a time, crispy and fragrant."
"That's right. The fish cakes your mother makes are unique in the team. No one else can make them taste this good."
"Mom is the best!"
"The fried fish made by sister-in-law is really delicious. Next time we go to the river to catch fish, sister-in-law will fry them for us."
"Blast, blast, blast. Believe it or not, I will blow you up, you loser."
"Hehehe...blast my uncle."
Lei Jun patted his smiling little son.
"When you can earn ten dollars a day to give to your mother, I can fry fish for you, and even meat for you every day."
"Mom, you don't want your son to eat fried fish. How can I earn ten dollars a day? My eldest brother can't even make that much."
Lei Jun: Why are you involving me again?
"It's not just Big Brother. No one in our team can earn ten dollars a day. Your request is too high."
"Why not? I only earned 10 yuan a month. No, it's 10.7 yuan, and I also got a food coupon."
"Who? Yueyue? Sister-in-law?"
"My second sister-in-law? How is that possible? She is at home recuperating after giving birth. How can she earn money without even leaving the house?"
Old Man Lei sat aside and watched. The old woman was not the kind of person who spoke without thinking. Since she said that, she must have taken the money.
"Tell me more about it."
"Didn't I tell you some time ago that Yueyue was going to write an article?"
"Yeah." That's true.
"The last time Zhenzhen came back, Yueyue asked her to send out the article she had written before she left.
The postman came to deliver the letter, and Yueyue's article was accepted and she was given 10.7 yuan as a fee."
Zhang Guihua was shocked: "Oh my goodness, I earned 10.7 yuan just by writing?"
Si Yueyue: My sister-in-law, this is not as simple as just writing.
"Of course not."
"Yueyue is so capable. She doesn't even have to go out. She can even get money for her confinement. It's great to study."
Old Lady Zhao glanced at the children in the house.
"See? Reading is very useful. You can earn money just by sitting at home. Yueyue said that there is...what in the book? There is gold..."
After hearing this, Lei Qingshan immediately shook his head and began to recite: "Books contain golden houses and beautiful women."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Do you guys study hard for me? If you don't study hard, I'll make you watch out."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Lei said nothing. He has always encouraged his children to study hard and at least get a junior high school diploma.

The next morning,
It's not daybreak yet.
The team leader led the young and middle-aged men in the team and loaded bags of grain onto tractors and ox carts.
The cars were loaded with food, so there was no room for everyone to sit, so they all walked downstairs.
The dirt road was difficult to drive on at that time. The tractors and ox carts moved slowly after being loaded with grain, so the team leader arranged two people to follow the vehicles.
The rest of the people walked behind the car, being careful to prevent the grain bags from being damaged and the grain from falling.
When encountering big potholes or steep slopes, the young guys need to step forward and lend a helping hand to the two cars.
The journey was full of hardships and challenges. After an hour or so of being cautious, we finally arrived at the grain station.
After arriving at the destination, they are not done yet, they still have to face the acceptance work of the grain station.
At this time, there was already a long queue outside the grain station. They were waiting, one after another, for the grain station to inspect and weigh them one by one.
Zhang Guihua looked at the team that was still some distance away and said to Lei Jun next to her.
"You and the others stay here to watch over the food. I'll go to the post office to mail a letter and then buy some meat. Zhenzhen, I'll go deliver the message directly, so you don't have to go back and forth. I'll wait for you at the town entrance when I'm done."
"Okay, be careful."
"Well, let's go."
Lei Jun watched his wife leave and continued chatting with Lei Jianguo next to him.
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
"Well, it's the one-month anniversary of my two nephews' birthday. Our family is poor, so we can't hold a big celebration.
So I asked your sister-in-law to come up and see if she can buy half a pound of meat, so that the whole family can have fun together."
After hearing what Lei Jun said, Lei Jianguo sighed softly. He used to envy Zhenzi so much, but who could have thought that something like this would happen.
"Hey, look at my memory, I almost forgot, I saw my mother making tiger-head shoes a few days ago and asked about it."
