"teacher?"
How did Du Rantong interact with other sisters-in-law? She actually knew that Captain Xu's sister had applied for a teacher position.
The most important thing is that Du Rantong became pregnant not long after she came to the island, and she wanted to go to work after she gave birth to a child.
Logically speaking, it would be easy for her to find a job with her education, but she wanted to be an elementary school teacher because the children were too young, undisciplined and noisy, and she also didn't want to do a job that didn't require any technical skills.
After waiting for a long time for a junior high school teacher recruitment opportunity, she did not pass the examination. Qin Ren was admitted through trickery, so she passed anyway, which meant she was qualified.
Shi Hong saw that she was stunned, and smiled proudly, "So don't look down on the country people, they are not much worse than the city people."
But he also knew that there were very few girls in the countryside who could go to high school like Xu Bing's wife, and she must have come from a well-off family.
But this didn't prevent him from curbing her prestige. In the past two years, this woman's temper has become more and more irritable.
"You just study hard!" Du Rantong took the book and went straight back to the bedroom.
Shi Hong snorted and laughed, thinking that he had won.
He waved to the child who was still holding the book, "Shitou, stop reading. Dad will take you out to play."
He married Du Rantong because she was from the city and well-educated, no matter how much she wanted to marry a vulgar country boy like him, now that she was his wife and had a child, they had to live together.
In late May, Xu Sui received the package.
Calculating the time, it would take her another two days to get to the Qingshan team after finishing the letter she wrote earlier.
This time, she received a letter proving that Xu Changgen had completed all the formalities for her.
In addition to a letter and some bills, the package also contained some homemade pickled vegetables and dried meat.
The letter was long, and the gist of it was to make her happy after finding a job, to let her work hard here, and to send her a check for pocket money here, and to give her sister a share of the income after she got her salary.
They were all trivial matters, written in the simplest words, but they made Xu Sui feel the warmth from home.
In addition to these, the letter also mentioned that a troop had come to the commune to recruit soldiers, and Xu Weiguo decided to give it a try.
Xu Sui felt relieved. She calculated that the conscription result should be out and her letter would arrive soon.
She would surely receive more letters from her hometown by then, so she planned to wait for some time to confirm that Xu Weiguo had been selected by the army, and then write to her family to inform them of Jiang Paner's situation.
Xu Weiguo loves his family very much, but he is young and passionate, and he is most afraid of teenage impulsiveness. Xu Sui hopes that he can go to the army safely, so she is not in a hurry to deal with Jiang Paner.
As for Xu Changgen being able to be the captain and having lived for so many years, he is much more tactful in dealing with things and has the life wisdom that is unique to people of their age.
Now is the time when Jiang Pan'er is at her weakest. In the short play, her development starts with a successful rise to power. Xu Sui changed her sister's fate, but she is worried that if she changes her own family's fate, will it be replaced by someone else?
Xu Sui hasn't read many novels in modern times, but she also knows that sometimes in this kind of world derived from the plot, everything is controlled by a predetermined fate.
She knows what the world is like, but she can take precautions.
Xu Sui is the type who knows the plot and fights alone silently. Jiang Pan'er is a girl, but it is not worth it for her to put all her energy on her, but it is more convenient for her parents to do things.
There is no need to say too much. Shan Jiang Pan'er tried to harm her three times, which was enough for her family to avenge it.
Xu Mian came back from outside, "Sui Sui, come over and help."
Xu Sui hurried away.
Xu Mian was pulling a cart with a grape tree on it.
She put the cart down and wiped the sweat off her head. "There is a family in our courtyard who is going to be transferred to another unit. He has three grape trees planted in his yard for many years. If they grow well, he will take them away and give one to me, your wife Wang, and your wife Zhang."
"A lot of people are jealous. There's also someone who has a good relationship with that family, but unfortunately he lives in a building. He can at least grow a vegetable garden."
"Sui Sui, put the grape tree somewhere shady. I'll go return the cart. We'll plant the grape tree together and build a trellis later."
"Okay, sister, do you want to drink some water first?" Xu Sui was about to go into the house to get a cup of water.
Xu Mian waved her hands, "It's only a few steps away, let's drink when we get back."
Although it is already the end of the month, the sun is still very bright on the island.
Xu Sui went into the house to heat the water slightly and added some honey.
Drinking some warm water is also good.
Xu Mian was very energetic. He came back, drank the water, and then took a hoe and started digging a hole.
"I feel like I'm getting better and better. Now I can eat and sleep well."
"Every day when you get enough sleep and eat enough, you will feel better. Even your brother-in-law is so rude, I look better now."
Xu's skin was tanned by the sun on the island, and his face was covered with a layer of yellow, which looked dark and dull.
It's still white, but it looks like a healthy wheat color.
Xu Sui put a hat on her. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful to the skin. Not only will it cause spots, but it will also cause skin aging.
Although Xu Mian understood, she didn't care too much. She let her sister put it on her and started to work.
The two of them worked together for more than an hour and finally successfully made a home for the grape vines.
Xu Mian was very satisfied. "We will be able to eat grapes next year. Her family gave me a bunch of them a while ago. They are green and taste sweet and sour."
Grapes are difficult to transport and are generally sold in bulk on the island.
She had been here for several years and had only eaten grapes that one time.
Xu Sui also likes the sweet and sour taste. "If there is more, we can also make wine."
With farming genes passed down from her Chinese ancestors and nothing to do on the island, Xu Sui gradually became interested in growing crops after she came here.
It would be nice if there were some flowers. It's such a nice yard. I could plant some flowers along the walls on both sides. They will be very beautiful when they bloom.
There was a row of clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard, in gray, blue, and white, which even added a touch of decoration to the yard.
Xu Sui also wanted a sewing machine.
She knew how to make clothes and how to make patterns, but there must be corresponding books to learn from. It was really difficult for her to sew clothes stitch by stitch.
She can finish a math test in an hour, but she can only sew a vest in an hour.
If possible, she would even like to make some underwear for herself.
Most of the underwear nowadays are small vests and simple bras, with crude workmanship and simple styles. There is no concept of measurements in China nowadays.
After her body was nourished by the spiritual spring, her measurements had changed, and it was really uncomfortable for her to wear her original underwear.
Unfortunately, we still have to endure it for a while.
