This morning, after Song Ruan went out, an uninvited guest came to the house.
Not long after Song Ruan went out, there was another knock on the door. Song's mother thought that her daughter had forgotten to bring something and came back to get it, so she quickly ran over to open the yard door.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, the person coming was Song Jin.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Hongmei frowned.
"Aunt, I came here to tell you something important."
Song Jin also knew about the conflicts between his uncle's family and his own family, and he put on a smile.
"Don't call me aunt, our two families don't have any contact now."
Song's mother spoke in a bland tone, not understanding what important thing he could have to say, but the environment outside did not allow her to ask in detail.
"If you have anything to say, please come in." Song's mother opened the door a little.
"Okay, that's fine." Song Jin said with a smile and followed Song's mother in.
Walking into the living room, Song Jin was stunned.
In the living room, the three Song Wen brothers and a child were reading and writing, and their uncle was sitting next to the child, giving him some guidance from time to time. Song Wen's wife was lying comfortably on a recliner, with a plate of red dates next to her.
The whole family gets together, but everyone is doing their own things without being disturbed.
Such a harmonious and warm scene is hard to destroy.
Unlike the anxiety of other families, and also different from the confrontational atmosphere in his family, the atmosphere here made him feel calm.
Song Jinlian even spoke in a much softer voice.
"Hello uncle, Song Wen, Song Wu, Song Cai, long time no see."
Song's mother said, "Song Jin, didn't you just say that you had something important to tell me? You can tell me now."
"Yes, it's something important. I'm an apprentice in the factory, and there happened to be a vacancy recently, so I thought I could let Song Wu go. The apprenticeship quota is very limited, and it was not easy for me to get it."
Song Jin was confident because his father had spent a lot of effort to get him a place there, and he could receive an allowance every month, so he was a very popular person.
"However, if Song Wu wants to go, he will have to spend some money to arrange for him to go. In addition, my family's 100 yuan work points..."
"I'm not going."
Before Song Jin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Song Wu's buzzing sound.
"What did you say?" Song Jin paused, suspecting that he had misheard.
"I don't want to be an apprentice." Song Wu repeated.
If it were in the past, he might have considered going, but now he definitely wouldn't.
What's more, his sister had specifically told him that if anyone asked him to be an apprentice, he must refuse.
"Song Wu, being an apprentice in a factory means you can get a monthly allowance! This kind of work is usually done by people in the city. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us peasants to get in. You..."
"Stop talking, I really don't want to go." Song Wu frowned.
"You should introduce this good thing to other people. As for the 100 work points, every penny counts."
Although Song Wu is not smart, he is not stupid either. The two families have never had much contact with each other. If it is pie in the sky, he will never let Song Jin give it to him to eat.
Seeing the attitude of this family, Song Jin knew that the apprenticeship would not be possible, so he had to talk about another matter. ..
"By the way, about the 100 yuan work points. My wife was just joking with Song Ruan. Just talk to the village chief and ask him not to deduct my family's work points."
Seeing that he spoke so lightly, Song Wu suddenly became a little angry.
"What are you kidding? Zhang Caihong is going to report us. She wants to kill our whole family!"
He was present throughout the whole process and saw with his own eyes how excessive Zhang Caihong was.
"Song Jin, you can go back. There is nothing to discuss between our two families."
Seeing that the two had finished talking, Song Wen added coldly, "Song Jin, please take good care of your wife in the future and don't let her cause any more trouble."
The direction of things was completely different from what he had imagined when he came. Song Jin lowered his eyes and said nothing. He thought a few things in his mind and turned around and walked out without saying a word.
After he left, everyone started talking about this matter.
Song's father asked, "Why is Song Jin so eager to find a job for our Song Wu?"
Song's mother was also confused: "Yes, this job is as good as he said, so many people are rushing to get it, why would he ask us?"
Song Cai chuckled: "Mom, nothing comes without hard work. Others always want something."
"What does he want? Our money?"
"Maybe. Didn't he just say he wanted money to take care of it? He also wanted the 100 yuan work points."
Song Wu waved his hand: "Who cares what he wants? Anyway, we just ignore him."
"really."
After discussing it, the family stopped caring about it and started reading the book again.
When Song Ruan came back and heard about this, she was a little angry, but when she heard her second brother's reaction, she felt relieved.
The fate of her family changed.
The locusts retreated on the third day.
Because the crops were all eaten up, the locusts also migrated.
For several days in a row, people in Dongshui Village took tools and sprayed water mixed with medicine powder onto the dry mud to kill locust eggs.
This powder was distributed from above to help control the locust plague.
However, because food was in short supply everywhere, the affected villages did not have to pay public grain, but they could not allocate grain to them either. The food still had to be provided by the commune and the villagers themselves.
To use the original words above, be self-sufficient and bear your own profits and losses.
Many people who were slow to realize the situation only then remembered to stock up on food.
But it's too late. It's basically difficult to buy food outside now.
