Looking at the person running away noisily, maybe this is fate! Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept her for the past two years.
When my benefactor helped me find this place, he only made this one request, which was not really a request.
Now I have finally fulfilled my benefactor's request.
When Song Jinxiu returned home, she touched the pendant in her hand and felt relieved.
The feeling is so wonderful, I don’t know how to describe it.
So she took out a string and hung the pendant around her neck.
Anyway, something as bizarre as time travel has already happened. What could be more outrageous?
As for the village chief, there are still many days to come. This kindness can always be repaid.
Then she took out a pen and paper to write back to Xiaojuan, expressing her warm welcome to her brother-in-law.
Even though the countryside is beautiful, life there is definitely not as convenient as in the city! He should be mentally prepared.
Don’t worry about food, you will definitely not go hungry!
It’s hard to say what to eat, Song Jinxiu thought to herself.
Pheasants and rabbits are running all over the mountain, and wild fruits and vegetables are also everywhere.
Whether you can catch it depends on your own ability. Song Jinxiu would definitely not say this.
There are also snakes, insects, rats and ants all over the mountain. You should be able to imagine this, right? No need to remind me!
Don’t worry about where to live, the village is vast and sparsely populated, there’s plenty of space!
You definitely cannot own a house unless you build it yourself.
In short, I only report good news and not bad news. You still have to experience it yourself after you get here.
If I say too many bad things at this time, I might think that the other person doesn’t welcome me!
Finally, I sent Xiaojuan some preserved radish and dried vegetables from last year. It's a gift for everyone!
Forget about those soupy ones that are hard to carry!
Half a year has passed, and there is still no teacher for the village, which makes Song Jinxiu worried.
Song Jinxiu couldn't just watch the school, which she had worked so hard to build, disband.
However, it was impossible for her to stay here forever. Thinking of those smiling faces who were studying hard, Song Jinxiu felt a little worried.
In the end, Aunt Cuihua said not to worry, there were many literate people in the village who could take over when the time came.
We take turns attending classes and can always hold on until the teacher arrives!
All right, things will work out when the time comes. Song Jinxiu won't have to worry anymore! The world will keep turning regardless of who's missing.
In the blink of an eye, it was the season for harvesting winter wheat, and then Song Jinxiu started to get busy again.
Every day people brought fish and meat to her for processing, and the young cook was forced to continue her business.
With a smile on his face, he felt happy in his heart.
I have to cook every day anyway, and it’s not a big deal.
It feels so good to be able to eat meat openly every day!
After two years in the countryside, Song Jinxiu felt that her round face had become fuller and more elastic!
Fortunately, I have a small face, so I can’t tell if I’m fat!
Unfortunately, there are no scales here, so I don’t know how much I weigh.
Thinking of the way those kids weighed themselves last year, Song Jinxiu shuddered. It was so embarrassing that An An didn't even want to get on the scale.
Last year, we used a large scale to weigh the pigs. We put the child in a basket and then hung the basket on the scale hook. One person held it while the other held the weight.
This is how it was, and it was also a happy time for every child, as everyone lined up to be weighed.
Ah, I seem to have gone off topic. Aren’t we talking about harvesting winter wheat?
The fact that Song Jinxiu was a poor worker was already known to the whole village, so whenever they assigned work to her, everyone would simply give her the easiest one.
For example, the threshing ground, the threshing ground, the threshing ground!
She couldn't cut the wheat, carry it, or bundle it. The only thing she could do was turn the wheat.
Song Jinxiu just wanted to sigh that there are three harvests every year.
After the wheat was stored, Xiaojuan's brother-in-law was almost here.
Did this young man come here at the right time? Is he going to the countryside to get some fresh air?
There are four of them here at once, they really are here for a countryside tour.
But Xiaojuan said that she would not be stingy with their food and accommodation expenses, as three of the four of them were wealthy.
The other one has three other people to cover it.
"Uncle, you said I was going to pick someone up, and I wanted to go to the city to look at houses!" Song Jinxiu discussed with the village chief at his house.
"The education level in the city is much better. I want An An to study in the city for a year to get used to it before going to junior high school."
"Well, that's good. Let Lao Hei accompany you to take a look. He looks intimidating, and most people won't dare to help you with him around!" said the village chief, taking a puff of his pipe.
"No, uncle, don't you plan to let Niu Dan go to school in the city? Let Auntie go with me. If there is a suitable one, we can still be neighbors."
Song Jinxiu paused and continued, "Niu Dan is truly talented. We can't let him be buried here! What about the other children? What do their parents say?"
"Do you think living in the city is that easy?" the village chief asked Song Jinxiu. "What will we eat and drink? Everything costs money in the city, and there's no income!"
"Uh!" Song Jinxiu was speechless. Yeah, she had enough to eat and drink, and finding a job was just a cover-up.
It’s different for others. A whole family may rely on the couple to make a living.
You will never starve here as you live in the mountains.
"Then you can let Aunt Cuihua take Niu Dan. You can go to the city first to check out the situation before making a decision!
This is all for the sake of the child! As long as Niu Dan has a promising future, all the efforts will be worth it!" Song Jinxiu persuaded.
"Okay, let your aunt go with you tomorrow." The village chief thought about it for a long time and finally gave in!
"Uncle, actually, if the villagers don't want to go too far, they can go to the town to find something to do!
Anyway, the farm work is only busy with spring planting and autumn harvest.
"It would be great to get a monthly salary the rest of the time, don't you think?" Song Jinxiu chatted with the village chief.
She knew that in the next 20 to 30 years, the gap between urban and rural areas would be huge!
When the era of bills was implemented, it became difficult to obtain them in rural areas.
"Okay, I've got that in mind and will discuss it with them." The village chief tapped his pipe lightly on the table.
Song Jinxiu tried to hold it in, but couldn't help but say, "Uncle, it's better to smoke less. Smoking is harmful to your health! If you feel like smoking, just eat some candy!"
After saying that, she ran away. "I'm going into the house to find my aunt!"
The village chief looked at the running figure and smiled, "Candy is much more valuable than these cigarettes."
But he still put away the pipe in his hand.
"Aunt, uncle asked you to go to the city with me tomorrow so we can look at houses together." Song Jinxiu said happily to Aunt Cuihua.
"Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow!" Aunt Cuihua said with a smile.
Song Jinxiu came every now and then to persuade them to bring the beef eggs to the market. After the family discussed it, it was not impossible!
With two strong laborers in the family, the annual output from the land can easily support the whole family!
The father and son usually have a team of people to cook for them! If that doesn't work, they can cook for themselves. It's not like they don't know how to do it.
