On the third day after Fu Jingyou left, the county sent the money from selling rice fish.
Fu Jingyou was not there, so Hu Zhiyuan came over.
There are receipts. After deducting the transportation costs, more than 1,300 kilograms of fish from six acres of land were sold for 152 yuan.
In the main hall of the He family, He Hongjin and scorekeeper Ma stood by the table counting money and reconciling accounts.
Inside and outside the yard, people were craning their necks to look.
152 yuan!
It may not sound like a lot, but in Dahe Village, there are many people who have never touched so much money in their lives.
On the big table in the He family, banknotes worth a few cents and dimes were piled up into a small mountain.
The people outside who were watching were delighted and praised Lu Miao highly.
Although we didn’t make much money last year, we managed to break even and every household got a share of the fish.
This year, not only did I break even, I also made a ton of money!
Everyone says that it was thanks to Xiaoliu's wife that she came up with the idea. If it were someone else, who could have thought of this method?
Some quick-witted people even started to calculate the accounts on the spot.
This year's fish fry are cheaper than last year's. The investment in six acres of land was 54 yuan.
After deducting the cost from the 152 yuan, the remaining money is profit.
If the team gets a share, every household can get a few dollars!
In bad years, after the food rations were distributed at the end of the year, the remaining work points might not even be worth two yuan.
Many people in Dahe Village feel that rice fish are easy to prepare, and the two dollars they are about to receive are like free money.
"Xiao Liu's wife is really capable! She must be well-educated and have a different perspective!"
"That's right, the kid is well raised! You don't know how many uncles and aunts in the village secretly love him!"
“…”
“…”
He Hongjin kept 54 yuan as capital for next year.
The remaining amount was reconciled with the scorer Ma one by one on the same day and distributed to each household.
The members took the money happily, praising Lu Miao and becoming more determined in their thoughts.
This side business of rice fish is still worth trying!
At about the same time, Xu Yao also returned from the county with a gauze bandage wrapped around his head.
As Fu Jingyou said, Xu Yao had problems with his kneecap.
He walked back from the county after a long and arduous journey. When he arrived at the team, blood had already seeped out of the bandage on Xu Yao's injured leg.
Xu Yao didn't do this job well, and it wasn't fair, but it also caused him a lot of suffering this time, and he almost lost half his life.
When Xu Yao returned to the production team, He Hongjin did not let him rest and directly sent someone to call him to the He family.
There was a big commotion that night. Xu Yao and Zaohua came out from behind the straw stack in disheveled clothes, and most of the people in the production team saw them.
Zaohua's mother has made up her mind that Xu Yao must marry her.
He Hongjin relayed Zaohua Niang's intention, but Xu Yao was reluctant at first.
Xu Yao didn't really want to get married, it was just that life was hard and tiring, and there was no hope.
There are so many girls and young wives in the team. If he just hooks up with a few of them, his life will be much better.
If you can't count on eating meat, it's okay to say some sweet words and occasionally eat a few eggs.
Besides, if he really wanted to get married, he would never marry Zaohua.
First of all, Zaohua is a simple girl with a down-to-earth appearance, and she is not beautiful.
Secondly, besides Zaohua, the only person in Zaohua's family is Zaohua's mother.
Zaohua Niang was a midwife, and every time she delivered a baby, she would get some rich and delicious food.
But what’s the use of just knowing how to deliver a baby?
It’s not like there are pregnant women delivering babies for her every day.
There were only two weak laborers in the family. In the past, the mother and daughter worked in the production team and had a hard time supporting themselves.
Even if he married a wife, it was to change the status quo, not to serve others like a slave.
Want him to marry Zaohua and fill the lack of strong labor in Zaohua's family?
impossible!
Xu Yao's attitude was firm, just two words:
"Don't marry."
"I didn't do anything that day. I was just threshing grain in the threshing ground as usual... Zaohua was the one who shouted there was a snake, so I went over to check it out! I was helping! I was doing a good deed!"
"Not only did you maliciously seize me, but you also beat me up like this and now you want me to marry Zaohua!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Xu Yao was indignant and kept chattering.
Even at this time, you are still thinking about passing the buck.
Can He Hongjin obey him?
"The villagers may not be well educated, but we won't tolerate you being a fool!"
He Hongjin's face darkened and he said harshly:
"This marriage must be concluded, whether or not to!"
Xu Yao was so angry that the wound on his head twitched and hurt, and he roared in indignation:
"You're forcing me into marriage! You're the dark forces! I'm going to sue you!"
"Go, if you want to go, go!"
He Hongjin slammed the table and sneered:
"Let's see whether the commune and the county will sentence you for hooliganism or convict the villagers!"
The three words "hooliganism" are like a gate hanging over your head.
Xu Yao's expression suddenly changed and he didn't dare to argue anymore.
He Hongjin had a sarcastic look on his face and looked down upon Xu Yao's character, but the matter was done and there was no turning back for some things.
Zaohua's future depends on whether she can work hard enough.
Alas...it's really worrying.
He Hongjin frowned and looked displeased, and briefly explained the following regulations to Xu Yao.
For example, arrangements for marriage and matters related to getting a marriage certificate.
Xu Yao was reluctant, and even more reluctant about the marriage certificate.
But he also knew that what he did had angered the public.
If you don't comply, He Hongjin is very likely to be reported!
If the matter really gets out of hand by then, even if he is not convicted, it will still leave a mark on his file!
Then how will he return to the city later?
How can I work after returning to the city?!
Xu Yao felt extremely resentful.
Forced by the situation, he had to do as Zaohua Niang and He Hongjin wanted.
Xu Yao and Zaohua's marriage was forced to go ahead.
Lu Miao secretly inquired about it.
After hearing that Zaohua and Xu Yao successfully obtained their marriage certificate, Lu Miao no longer paid attention to this matter.
Let me tell you another thing.
When it comes to rice fish and raising children, the team members praise them again and again.
Lu Miao listened to Ma Tianzao's retelling at home and didn't think much of it at first.
After hearing it so many times, I feel a little proud and really wonder if I am good at taking care of children.
As a result, as soon as Ma Tianzao left that afternoon, Chen Guifen came over to cook dinner.
Lu Miao was helping to pick vegetables when reality hit him in the face.
The whole story started with teaching Ma Tianzao to read.
Ma Tianzao has been coming over more frequently recently, and every two days Lu Miao would mark a section on the newspaper for her using pinyin.
In addition, she wrote and drew to prepare for Fu Jingyou, and used the pen and notebook every day.
This time Chen Guifen came earlier than before, so Lu Miao put Dabao and Erbao into the cage chairs, rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
He completely ignored the ink bottle on the long table by the window in the room, which had not yet had the lid closed.
It would be fine under normal circumstances, but the problem was that this time the cage chair was too close to the table, and half of the notebook was sticking out of the edge of the table.
