Chapter 84 June

The Su family has only three bedrooms in total. The largest one is divided into two rooms for Su Jieru and her family to live in. Originally, Niu Baozhu had some complaints about Su Jieru and her family living together. Now that she has a baby, she has opinions about Su Jieru and her family.

"Brother Qiang, there is no such thing as a married girl living in her parents' home forever. Your sister has been occupying the largest bedroom in our house. It would have been fine if it was just you and me, but now our family is going to have a new member. We can't let the child live with the two of us forever." Niu Baozhu said.

"Do you want your sister and brother-in-law to move out? But my parents probably won't agree. Besides, where do you want your sister and brother-in-law to move to? Rent a house outside? And your brother-in-law is a semi-married-in-law, so this is not a good idea." Su Qiang said.

Niu Baozhu pinched Su Qiang: "Your Su family doesn't have no sons, so why do you want a son-in-law to marry into your family? I know your parents love your sister very much. They didn't want your sister to suffer in the countryside, so they let your sister and brother-in-law live at home. But now we have a baby, don't you want to consider your own child in the future? Now your brother-in-law is also a small leader, and it only costs a few dollars to rent a house outside. Can't you afford the rent?"

Su Qiang also felt that there was some truth in this: "Then I'll discuss it with my parents later."

"That's more like it." Niu Baozhu had long coveted the house where Su Jieru's family lived, but she had just married in, so she couldn't say much. Now that she was pregnant, of course she could legitimately ask Su Jieru and Shen Xiangbei to move out.

Su Jieru didn't know that Niu Baozhu was planning to drive her family out, but she was genuinely happy for her brother.

It was getting late, and Shen Xiangxi came to pick up Shen Ruoqing. When Shen Ruoqing left, Shen Xiangbei asked her to take two canned fruits back.

After returning home, Shen Ruoqing told Old Lady Ji that Niu Baozhu was pregnant.

"I'm afraid there won't be enough space for my in-laws to live in." Old Mrs. Ji immediately thought of the housing problem. "It's okay in the first few years, but when Su Qiang's wife's children grow up, the house may not be enough. Your fourth brother wants to have another one."

Shen Ruoqing hadn't even thought about this question yet, "What should I do then?"

"Then you can only rent a house. Housing is so tight right now that it's hard to find one. And renting a house is expensive. It'll cost you an extra four or five dollars a month. And your fourth brother and his wife's unit hasn't given you any news about housing allocation."

"Maybe in two years there will be news about housing allocation."

"That's right, Su Qiang's wife just got pregnant."

In the following time, Shen Ruoqing's attention was focused on the high school entrance examination. There were two candidates in the family, and nutrition had to be kept up. Eggs were not sold, and each person had two eggs a day. Of course, the most important thing was to supplement nutrition for her baby, and Shen Hansong was just a supplement. There was also wild boar meat made into bacon, all of which were made during this period. Every night, the two of them also had a cup of milk.

Wang was jealous: "Mom, you should treat everyone equally. Why do you only give special treatment to eldest brother's son? Hanwen and Hanwu are also your grandsons."

"Are they going to take the high school entrance exam? If they can, I'll give them special lessons every day." Old Lady Ji glared at Wang and said, "You're the only one who has too many things to do. Why don't you go and make a few more egg trays?"

The time for the high school entrance examination soon arrived. The examination was held at the No. 1 Middle School in the county. Shen Ruoqing and Shen Hansong had already been taken to the examination venue by Shen Xiangxi driving a tractor.

Shen Ruoqing was confident, but Shen Hansong was a little nervous. He actually wanted to apply to the No. 1 Middle School in the county and continue to be classmates with his aunt. But Liu Xinyi said that her grades were OK for a country school, but average for a county school, and she would only hold her aunt back. Because of his worries, Shen Hansong didn't sleep well last night.

Shen Ruoqing noticed the faint dark circles under Shen Hansong's eyes. She handed the kettle to Shen Hansong: "Drink more water and relax first, then go to the bathroom. Think carefully about what I taught you during this period of time, and believe in yourself."

Shen Hansong has always believed in Shen Ruoqing. He took the kettle and gulped down the water. Strangely, after drinking the water, he seemed to be less nervous.

Liu Xinyi watched from the side, silently cheering herself up in her heart, believing that she would definitely be able to get into the No. 1 Middle School in the county.

The tense exam was over quickly.

There was also news from Brother Biao. He had already obtained Dalong's identity and was just waiting for Shen Ruoqing's grain. The country wanted a lot of food, so Shen Ruoqing first gave 200,000 kilograms of food. The people who received the food were very satisfied. They knew at a glance that the food was new. They were originally worried that such cheap food must be old food and there might be other problems, but they didn't expect the quality of this batch of food to be so good.

Brother Biao revealed that the higher-ups wanted to give a reward and asked Shen Ruoqing what kind of reward he wanted.

Shen Ruoqing said that as long as he could be helpful in the future, no other rewards were needed.

During this period, Brother Biao also sold a small batch of grain, but he didn't make much money, so he was quite happy. The county official was promoted and transferred to the city. But the new county official said that he would also take care of the patriot Dalong after hearing the words from above. Before leaving, the county official also arranged a job for Brother Biao, because the county official got the news that the higher-ups would suppress the black market in a while.

It was time for the double-grabbing competition again. Everyone in the team was very motivated at this time, and Liu Xinyi also joined the double-grabbing team. She deliberately asked the scorekeeper to assign her to the same team as Mu Bai.

Mu Bai frowned slightly.

"Mu Zhiqing." Liu Xinyi's face was slightly red. "Don't look at me as a lesbian. I can also harvest rice."

Mu Bai didn't say anything and continued to harvest the grain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Liu Xinyi gritted her teeth. She volunteered to take over the job of harvesting the grain from the scorer, not to watch Mu Bai harvest the grain.

"Mu Zhiqing, why do I feel like you have misunderstood me?" Thinking of the last time she heard that it was Mu Bai who saved Shen Ruoqing, Liu Xinyi was so angry that her teeth itched. Could it be that Shen Ruoqing said something? "Comrade Liu, you think too much. I don't have any misunderstandings about you. I just want to finish the work quickly." Mu Bai's words were polite and distant. Obviously, his attitude towards her was not like this before.

After that, Liu Xinyi kept trying to find an opportunity to talk to Mu Bai, but Mu Bai ignored her. Later, Mu Bai felt a little annoyed and took the initiative to tell the scorer that he had changed the rice field.

This made Liu Xinyi very angry.

What on earth did I do to annoy Mu Bai?

Shen Ruoqing cooked a big pot of mung bean soup at home. She bought some ice cubes from the system mall, melted them in the soup, and then went to deliver the mung bean soup to Old Lady Ji and the others.

In fact, the double harvest was too hard work, and the family was not short of food. Shen Ruoqing didn't want to let Grandma Ji do it, but Grandma Ji felt that she was in good health and wanted to earn these few cents.
