Sitting on the tractor, the late autumn wind blows towards me.
There were five of us in the group, and we were all in a good mood.
"A total of 470 yuan." Accountant Zhao Xiangyang said in disbelief, "With that much money, we can do a lot of things."
Tian Youliang also felt like he was dreaming.
He never knew that making money could be so easy.
In the village, collecting 300 yuan to repair a diesel engine is harder than climbing to the sky, but in the city, earning more than 400 yuan is so easy.
Faintly, his heart seemed to be torn open by something, and he had some understanding, but it was not clear.
The tractor drove briskly all the way to the commune.
Tian Youliang got off the tractor and dragged down the remaining dozen pounds of grass carp, which was only four fish, and stuffed them all into the hands of the driver Tang Guohui: "This is for the commune canteen to add to the meal. Thank you for the strong support of the commune for our brigade's work. And this is the salary for driver Tang."
He handed over fifty cents.
The daily work points for an adult male laborer in the brigade were only 20 or 30 cents, so 50 cents was not a small amount.
Tang Guohui waved his hands quickly: "The public society pays me wages, how can I take yours? Take it back quickly, Secretary Tian, please don't make things difficult for me."
Tian Youliang scratched his head.
If the other party doesn't accept it, it will be difficult for him to live...
Jiang Wanyue said, "It's okay if Brother Tang doesn't want to take it. Uncle Tian, please buy some diesel to fill up the tractor later."
Tian Youliang nodded immediately.
The tractor followed them back and forth and burned a lot of diesel, so it really needed to be filled up.
Tang Guohui knew that if he continued to refuse, it would be a bit meaningless, so he had to agree: "Okay, I'll let your team fill up the tank, and I'll take you back."
Originally, his mission was completed when he arrived at the commune.
But people insisted on refueling him, so he had to drive again and send Jiang Wanyue and his group back to Xiaojing Brigade.
It was noon time at this moment. The team had just finished work and everyone was carrying hoes and other things to go home and make lunch.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from far away.
The workers' attention was drawn to it.
I saw a tractor slowly driving over from the other end of the village road, with several people sitting on both sides of the tractor.
"It's the secretary and the others who are back!"
"Wow, he actually came back on a tractor, that's amazing!"
"Look, my daughter-in-law is on the tractor. No woman in our village has ever ridden a tractor before!"
Zhou Xiugui stood on tiptoe and looked in that direction. She saw the only woman on the tractor at a glance and felt proud of her immediately.
A group of women and children stood on the roadside and watched the tractor slowly stop.
Anyone in the village who saw the tractor gathered around it immediately.
"Good news, good news!" Tian Youliang shouted while standing on the tractor, "We sold the fish from our brigade for more than 400 yuan. We have enough money to repair our diesel engine!"
“That’s great!”
"Our branch secretary is so amazing. He accomplished such a great thing!"
"It's not my credit!" Tian Youliang pointed at Jiang Wanyue and said, "This was accomplished because of Teacher Jiang. On behalf of the entire Xiaojing Brigade, I would like to thank Teacher Jiang for his contribution to our brigade!"
He was so formal that Jiang Wanyue felt a little embarrassed: "I am also a member of the Xiaojing Brigade. This is what I should do. I think the credit belongs to everyone..."
Lin Jin stood there in the crowd, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Before, she looked down on Jiang Wanyue because she only relied on men and would commit suicide after her man died. She disdained to have any dealings with such a woman.
But now, the person she looked down upon solved a big problem for the team.
She pursed her lips, walked out, interrupted the secretary's praise of Jiang Wanyue, and said, "Next, are we going to repair the diesel engine?"
"Oh, yes!" Tian Youliang said, "The county machinery factory can't repair it, so we have to go to the provincial capital. The sooner the better."
"Why don't I go?" Lin Jin volunteered. "I'm from the provincial capital and I'm very familiar with the place. It will be easier if I lead the way."
Tian Youliang frowned.
His son has been pursuing Lin Jin, an educated youth, and now they are about to get married, so he should really give his future daughter-in-law a chance.
But for some reason, he always felt that there should be a more suitable candidate.
He paused and said, "Let's talk about this later. It's noon now, everyone should go back and cook."
The tractor drove away and the crowd dispersed.
Tian Youliang and Song Dahai did not leave. They stood at the edge of the field, looking at the endless fields.
"Old Song, your fourth daughter-in-law is really good." Tian Youliang said, "Now that our brigade has obtained the permission of the commune to run a fishery, we should find a person in charge to take charge of this matter. Who do you think is the most suitable person to find?"
Song Dahai smiled and said, "Before you asked me, you specifically praised my daughter-in-law. It seems that you already have a candidate in mind."
Tian Youliang sighed, "But she is a teacher. I specifically asked Principal Zheng. She has been a teacher for less than half a month, but she is already liked by all the students in the school. She is a qualified teacher."
Song Dahai nodded: "But I have to ask her opinion on this matter."
Jiang Wanyue didn't know that the two were discussing important matters, she had already returned home.
The three children were at home, and the fire in the stove had already lit up. Just as she was about to take the spoon, Song Yunying pushed her to sit down and said, "Brother said that mom has worked hard, so he will cook, and mom just needs to wait and eat."
After the little girl finished speaking, she went to the kitchen to help add the fire.
Jiang Wanyue got up, went into the room, closed the door, and checked the supplies in the house.
She saw that the wooden box was empty except for a few eggs in a treasure bowl. The space under the bed was also clean. For a moment, she really had no idea where the household supplies had been hidden.
After looking around, I found that the bed at home had been moved about 20 centimeters outwards, and a wooden board had been erected against the wall, forming an enclosed space. The space was filled with supplies, separated by partitions, so the contents were clearly visible.
Jiang Wanyue couldn't help but laugh.
Telling Song Huaizhi about the treasure bowl was the best decision she had ever made.
With a good older son to help her, what else does she have to worry about?
After a while, the food was ready.
Song Huaizhi actually fried some pork belly, stewed bones, a steamed egg, stir-fried vegetables, and rice. The dishes were very rich.
Jiang Wanyue couldn't believe it: "I remember that you only knew how to steam sweet potatoes and cook porridge before, how come you can even cook all of a sudden?"
"I had dinner at my grandma's house last night. She fried eggplant and lettuce." Song Huaizhi said, "I stood by and learned a little bit. It's easy to cook like this anyway."
Jiang Wanyue tasted the pork belly with a skeptical attitude and was immediately stunned.
This tastes much better than what she cooked.
Originally, she was an adult and did not want to do labor for minors.
But, her abilities are really limited.
She said shamelessly: "Huaizhi, from now on you cook, and I'll be responsible for chopping vegetables, adding fuel to the fire, and washing dishes, okay?"
