Chapter 1153 Stepfather 64
After eating and drinking, Yuanchun and Shen Yi sat on the kang together to keep watch until midnight. They ate some dumplings before going to bed.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the couple did not go anywhere and stayed at home all day.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the couple went to the Shen family to pay New Year's greetings, carrying sugar, white wine, pork belly, etc., and stayed there for the whole day.
From the third day of the Lunar New Year until the spring plowing season, the young couple went up the mountain to hunt every day. They destroyed all the prey in the back mountain and even destroyed two wild boar dens, making a lot of money quietly.
When the spring plowing season came, Yuanchun continued to work in the fields to earn work points.
Shen Yi continued to go to the pig farm and clean up the pig manure.
Originally, he married into the Xu family and his household registration was moved to the Xu family. He was also considered a local of Hongqi Village and did not need to do the dirty and tiring work in the pig farm. But if Shen Yi did not do it, this job would fall on the heads of other people in the Shen family.
Shen Yi couldn't bear to see his grandparents shoveling pig manure at their old age, so he discussed with Yuanchun that he would stay in the pig farm and continue to earn six work points a day.
The young couple had a large sum of money, no longer had to rely on work points to survive, and could also help the Shen family, so Yuanchun of course agreed readily.
Because of this, Shen Yi was often ridiculed by villagers, who said that he, a grown man, did not earn as many work points as his wife and relied on women to support the family, and that he was a gigolo.
But Shen Yi was strong inside, no matter how the villagers mocked him, he didn't take it seriously and pretended not to hear them. He wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he was laughed at, so how could the Shen family benefit from it?
In May, seven more people came to the village, including an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young woman in her twenties.
When this group of people arrived at the village, they were arranged by the team leader to live in a thatched hut next to the cowshed. This was the house where fodder for the cows was stored in the winter. Now that winter was over, the house was empty and was perfect for these people to live in.
Three old men were responsible for cleaning the cowshed, and the others were arranged to work in the fields with the villagers.
One hay shed can't accommodate seven people at all. Hay needs to be stored until the autumn harvest, so this hay shed is only a temporary place for these people to live in.
After the spring plowing was over, the team leader arranged for the villagers to urgently repair a large and dilapidated brick house that had collapsed in the village.
Half a month later, these people moved into this house.
This house is just in front of Yuanchun's house on the left, separated by a dirt road.
"Ah Chun, I know that elderly couple. They are old friends of my grandfather. The middle-aged couple are their eldest son and daughter-in-law. The young woman is their youngest daughter. I call her my aunt, Yuanchun. I want to go over tonight and give them something."
On the first day these people arrived, Shen Yi secretly discussed it with Yuanchun.
Yuanchun was of course happy to help these people secretly.
In fact, even if Shen Yi didn't take action, she would do it secretly.
So, late that night, the young couple carried large and small bags, walked in the moonlight, and quietly went to the hay house. They delivered the old quilts, old clothes, old shoes and other items that they had specially bought from Lao Qi.
After that, they delivered food and vegetables several more times quietly.
Later, the reason why the team leader arranged for these people to live in the abandoned brick houses in the village was because Grandpa Shen quietly greeted the team leader.
In August, five educated youth came to the village.
Three men and two women, all came from the south.
This was the first batch of educated youth sent by the country. Since the village did not have a place for educated youth to live, the team leader arranged for them to live in the villagers' homes.
