Every household celebrated the Spring Festival by slaughtering pigs and chickens. The Mu family also slaughtered their only pig, and the villagers who didn't raise pigs bought some, half of which was sold, and the remaining half was kept for their own consumption.
With so much pork, Lin Xiaoman and Wang Cuifen started to make braised pork together.
The days passed in a flash and it was New Year's Eve. Lin Xiaoman, Wang Cuifen and Mu Weimin, who was helping them, started working in the morning and prepared for the whole day.
At around 3 pm, Lan Yachun and Mu Huaqiang came back with Mu Xiaole and Mu Xiaoxiao who was helping in the grocery store.
The New Year’s Eve dinner was so rich that even Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang had their mouths full of oil.
After a day of rest on the first day of the new year, Lan Yachun and her husband took Mu Xiaole back to her parents' home on the second day. Lan Yachun's parents' home is a typical patriarchal family, so Lan Yachun and her parents' home are not that close. However, it is still a courtesy to bring some gifts back during the holidays.
There was nothing to do at home, so Lin Xiaoman took Mu Xiaoxiao to Linjia Village to visit his former parents-in-law.
Jiang Fengzhen was very happy about the two people's arrival. She enthusiastically invited them to stay for lunch and asked Lin Yue to kill a chicken.
After chatting about family matters for the whole afternoon and having lunch before going back, Lin Xiaoman forcefully stuffed 10 Big Unity notes into Jiang Fengzhen's hands. This action again moved the Lin family to tears, and they felt that their Lin family owed her something.
Lin Xiaoman drove Mu Xiaoxiao back home in a good mood.
It has been half a year since the start of the matter, and Lin Chuan is probably still not married. Lin Xiaoman certainly won't go looking for someone else. If he gives him 600 now and another 200 next year, he can go and find the person the year after next!
If they find the person, Lin Chuan and his wife will definitely come back. Suddenly, there is a sick mother-in-law and five underage siblings. Can Cao Qinfang accept it? Can she work hard and contribute to this big family without complaint? It will definitely be a mess!
No matter what Lin Chuan thinks at that time, in the hearts of the Lin family, she, the ex-boyfriend, will definitely be the perfect "white moonlight"!
Lin Xiaoman: Hey, she is such a scheming old witch!
After the fourth day of the New Year, Lan Yachun, who had been thinking about the grocery store, hurried to open the store, and their family of three returned to the town.
During the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiaoman rarely asked Mu Weimin to work, but continued to study and make pickles with Wang Cuifen and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Weimin, who was on vacation, wanted to play cards, but he had no money in his pocket. In the end, he could only watch others play cards.
After the New Year, life goes on as usual. In the blink of an eye, it is time to raise spring silkworms, and hardworking families begin to raise silkworms again.
Just after I finished harvesting the cocoons, it was already the end of spring and the rapeseed in the fields was ready for harvest, so I continued to be busy.
Lan Yachun was guarding the grocery store and couldn't leave, so Mu Huaqiang rode his bike back early every morning to pick rapeseed. After dinner in the evening, he rode back to the town to spend the night. After all, it was a bit dangerous for three women, two adults and one child, to go with him.
After a busy day, the rapeseed is harvested.
I sold silk cocoons and rapeseed and earned nearly 600 yuan.
After harvesting the rapeseed in his own family, Lin Xiaoman took two strong men, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, to the Lin family to help for two days, thus gaining a good reputation.
Then there were a few days of rest. After burning the gentian, the tractors were used to till the fields, release water, and plant rice seedlings. It was another busy day.
After all the seedlings are planted, the next step is to wait for the autumn harvest.
Taking advantage of the slack season, Lin Xiaoman continued his pickled vegetable and meat business, and even pretended to be self-researching and started making sweet and spicy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut butter, sesame paste, seafood sauce...
Time flies, and it is June again, the time for the high school entrance examination.
At noon on the day of the high school entrance examination, Mu Xiaoxiao took Lin Yue back to the grocery store.
Mu Xiaoxiao is in the first grade of junior high school, and Lin Yueyue is in the third grade. Because they are relatives, they have a good relationship. The school is not that big, and they talk to each other from time to time.
Since Lin Xiaoman returned to the Mu family, Mu Xiaoxiao's life has been getting better and better. She went from bringing her own lunch to eating in the restaurant, and even went home for lunch after the grocery store opened. Seeing Lin Yue still pitifully bringing her lunch box, Mu Xiaoxiao felt sympathy and took her back to the grocery store.
Lin Yue is a sensible person. She won't bother them when the weather is hot. But when the weather is too cold, she will bring lunch boxes to heat them up. After all, eating cold food in winter is bad for the body.
During the high school entrance examination, Lin Yue was afraid of getting a stomachache, so she shamelessly came to eat for free. Lin Xiaoman happened to be in the grocery store, so she cut some extra braised meat for her. Acting like a "good sister-in-law", Lin Xiaoman gave her a lot of meat and expressed her concern by saying "eat more" and "do well in the exam".
While eating hot rice and braised meat, and listening to Lin Xiaoman's concern, Lin Yue felt more and more sad. Finally, she couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears. She lay on the table and cried so sadly.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoman pretended to be confused.
"Sister-in-law, I, I can't go to high school!"
"How could that be? You've always been smart and your grades are so good, you'll definitely pass."
"No, I..." Lin Yue's face was filled with pain. She was not stupid. Her family's current situation definitely could not afford to support her to go to high school.
Lin Xiaoman seemed to understand and sighed.
As expected.
In the original owner's previous life, Lin Yue had excellent results in the high school entrance exam, reaching the score line for the city's key high school. Lin Dahai and Jiang Fengzhen originally wanted her to stop studying and stay at home to help, but the original owner gritted her teeth and insisted on sending her to school.
Now it's her turn, this double-faced black-hearted lotus, to support her education? She is only responsible for paying off the remaining 200 yuan!
Lin Xiaoman pretended to be sincere and said some high-sounding words such as "come to me if you have any difficulties". After comforting Lin Yue, she went back to school to take the exam.
