Chapter 2: The Young Daughter-in-law of the Yang Family in the 1970s
"Third daughter-in-law, you just got married yesterday, so don't go out to the fields today. Rest well at home for two days."
"I'll let Daya stay home with you later. If you have any questions, just ask her."
After breakfast.
Cai Guifen glanced at Lin Wanwan's stomach. She had eaten a large pot of rice before, and although she vomited it all, she ate two large bowls of rice later.
If there was no more rice in the pot, the girl would probably continue to add more rice.
Cai Guifen felt a bit of a headache. The third daughter-in-law looked thin and weak. She had been married for such a long time, but except for calling "Dad" and "Mom" during the wedding tea ceremony, she had never spoken again.
If she hadn't heard her speak, Cai Guifen would have suspected that she had married a mute wife for her third son.
No matter how worried I am, I have already married her and I can't kick her out.
Cai Guifen decided to give Lin Wanwan more time. If she kept snatching food and couldn't work, then their family would not be able to keep her.
Yang Daya is the daughter of Liu Huazhen. Liu Huazhen has been married for many years and has given birth to a daughter and a son.
The younger son was not at home because he had gone to his grandmother's house. The older daughter was young but very capable and could earn six or seven work points every day.
It has to be said that although the Yang family has a bad reputation in the village and cannot get along with other families, every member of the family is very capable.
Even the 8-year-old Yang Daya was comparable to the adult daughters-in-law of other families.
Even though Cai Guifen was still worried, she still took her whole family to go to the fields.
Yang Qingfeng took a last look at his new wife. Because she was in poor health, they had not yet consummated their marriage.
Yang Qingfeng couldn't sleep at all while taking care of a pretty little girl, so he stayed awake almost until dawn last night.
As soon as it was daybreak outside, he went out with a shoulder pole to fetch water.
The purpose is to avoid contact with the new daughter-in-law.
His mother had told him that Lin Wanwan's health was too poor and she needed to recuperate for some time, so he shouldn't rush to consummate the marriage.
Otherwise, not only will it be easy to have a miscarriage, it will also be bad for the mother.
Although Cai Guifen is domineering and unreasonable to the outside world, she is very kind to her family.
Even if it was a new daughter-in-law, he didn't think about rubbing her, but always considered her body.
Lin Wanwan is still a little confused.
Ever since 3628 said he would take her to a place where she could eat, she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would come to this world.
This world is so wonderful!
Not only could she eat delicious food, but she also saw greenery in the distance in the yard just now.
There is no radiation and no pollution here.
Even the grass at the foot of the wall is edible.
Lin Wanwan felt that she was so happy. Anyway, she didn’t have many relatives when she was on the wasteland planet. Now that she came to this world, she just wanted to integrate into it quickly.
Only after the concerned gazes above her head disappeared did Lin Wanwan look up outside the house.
A tall and thin figure gradually walked away and finally disappeared around the corner of the gate.
"Is that my husband?"
Lin Wanwan was thinking about something and unknowingly said what was in her heart.
"Yes, Third Aunt."
"Isn't Third Uncle your husband? Have you not yet come to terms with your life of exile and wandering?"
Yang Daya had been secretly observing Lin Wanwan, and when she heard her speak, she immediately came over.
My mother said that Third Aunt was a poor person and must have suffered a lot in the past.
Grandma also asked her to take good care of her third aunt and make her health better as soon as possible so that she could give birth to younger brothers and sisters for them.
Although Yang Daya felt sorry that she could not earn eight work points today, she still listened to her grandmother and mother and decided to get along well with her third aunt.
Third Aunt must get used to life at home as soon as possible so that she can go out and earn work points.
If you ask why the children of the Yang family are so active, it is because Cai Guifen promised that as long as the children of the Yang family can get 8 work points every day, they can save one work point and exchange it for candy or money from their grandmother at the end of the year.
As long as the adults in the Yang family, regardless of gender, can get 10 work points, they can keep one work point and exchange it for something they need at the end of the year.
These are all calculated in addition to normal expenses, and are also a means for Cai Guifen to manage the family.
You know, other families don’t have this kind of thing. No matter how many work points the family members earn, they all have to be handed over to the public.
Especially families with many children and varying degrees of work ability.
Some people work themselves to death and get full work points every day, while others just eat and wait for death, and are lazy whenever possible.
Cai Guifen established this rule in order to put an end to this phenomenon.
Although she has to give a lot of money to her children at the end of the year, she doesn't mind the loss as long as it can keep the family together.
If there were no big carrot hanging in front of them, how could these children get 10 full work points every day?
Cai Guifen felt that instead of letting her family members live a life of idleness and waiting for death, it would be better to let them face life positively. She really didn't mind saving a little money.
Yang Daya saw that Lin Wanwan said a few words to her and then fell into her own thoughts again, feeling a little worried.
"Aunt San, is there anything you want to do?"
After sitting with Lin Wanwan for a while, Yang Daya felt itchy all over and couldn't stay any longer.
Then his eyes flashed and a plan came to mind.
Anyway, Third Aunt is just sitting at home doing nothing, so I might as well take her out to collect two baskets of pig grass.
Although one basket of pig grass could only be exchanged for one work point, she would usually fill four baskets with it.
There are quite a few pigs in their village, and they need a lot of pig feed.
The remaining work points were earned from other places. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't earn work points for a day.
"I don't know what to do!"
When Lin Wanwan heard the little girl's question, she felt a little embarrassed.
When staying on the wasteland planet, you have to go out into the wild to look for food every day.
Sometimes I can't find anything to eat for a whole day, but when I'm lucky I can find something to fill my stomach.
This is how she has been living since she was a child.
As they get older, the radiation on the wasteland planet becomes more and more serious, and the food they can find becomes less and less.
Before 3628 appeared, Lin Wanwan hadn't eaten properly for a week.
Sometimes she would find some clean soil to eat, and sometimes she would dig out earthworms from deep in the soil. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to dig.
I was lucky enough to find a small patch of wild vegetables, but was killed by 3628.
But now thinking about it, just for that meal she had in the morning, even if it meant her immediate death, Lin Wanwan felt it was worth it.
"Aunt San, we're just staying at home anyway, why don't we go to the mountains and dig some wild vegetables?"
"You should know about wild vegetables, right? You can dig some for them while I collect some pig grass for my work points."
"Grandma said I don't need to earn work points today. How about I give you half of the work points I earn?"
