But Su Wan was not afraid. The land would be distributed to each household soon anyway. She would then take care of herself and divide the land among the households, and no one would be able to interfere with her.
After Su Wan saw Su Xiaogou stuff the last bite of cake into his mouth, she gave Su Xiaogou a piece of each of the other cakes and pushed him out.
She is going to tidy up the room now, but it is a little difficult for her to do it with Su 꺘 dog around because some things are still in the space and she has to take them out at any time.
Xu Guixiang has not allowed anyone to live in this room since she came back with Qin Li last time.
Because she heard from Su Wan that after Qin Li went back home, her adoptive parents in the city treated her worse and worse, and even said that they wanted to come back and live with them.
She didn't know whether Su Wan was just saying it casually or was serious about it. Anyway, her daughter had come back to recognize them and said that she would come back to visit them often in the future. So Xu Guixiang kept this room so that her daughter would have a place to stay when she came back.
The room was filled with Qin Li's things, clothes, things she used, and things she used to cover her bed...
Su Wan picked up the bed sheet and put all the things Qin Li had used on it. Then she picked up the four corners and tied them together, then carried them out to the yard.
If her mother wants to keep these rotten things, she can keep them. If not, they are all gone. She doesn't want to see them again anyway.
Su Wan took out her own bedding from the space and spread it on top again.
I stuffed two thick quilts into the shabby closet.
No one saw it now, so I just took it out. If I take it out again later, I'm afraid I'll have to explain it for a long time.
The next step is to take out the clothes and put them in piles.
The table next to the bed was a little too old, so she tore off part of an old checkered bed sheet that she had changed earlier and spread it on it.
I took out the toiletries from the space and placed them upwards. I took two books and placed them on the bedside to add a little literary atmosphere. The broken table immediately looked brand new.
She looked around. The light in the room was a little too dim. The main reason was that the windows were covered with newspapers. After being exposed to wind and sun, the newspapers had turned yellow and brittle. There was a lot of dust on them, making them look dirty.
Looking at the remaining sheets, she climbed up to the window on a stool and measured it. Unexpectedly, the length was just enough for a curtain.
Su Wan directly tore off the newspaper pasted on it, and then took out the needle and thread from the space.
She was not very good at sewing, usually she just sewed buttons and the like. Su Wan folded one of the edges, and then used the fine needle and large thread to draw a straight line, put on the rope, and a simple curtain was made.
There were no nails in her space, but such things are very common in the countryside, and she found several of them by just walking around the yard.
Knock one end of the nail into the wall, then wrap the ropes at both ends of the curtain around the nail, pull the two ends tight and tie them, and the curtain will be hung up.
She pulled the curtain back and forth and it was quite smooth.
When the curtains are opened, the light in the room immediately becomes brighter, and when the curtains are closed, it becomes a private space.
With just such a simple tidy up, the room has completely changed. The curtains and tablecloths complement each other, making it look quite warm.
The only flaw is that the walls are made of mud. Although they are very smooth, they are not as beautiful as white walls. If she has the chance in the future, she will definitely repaint them.
Su Wan fell on the bed and looked around the room she had cleaned up. Although it was not as spacious as the Qin family's room and there was no electric lighting in the room, this was the countryside. In such a large family of more than ten people, she had a bedroom to herself and she was already very satisfied.
Su Wan was busy in the house. Su Xiaogou took the snacks she gave him and ate them while walking to the fields, then went to look for Xu Guixiang.
When Xu Guixiang heard from her son that Su Wan had returned with a large bag of luggage and was going to stay at home, she was so anxious that the hoe in her hand was about to break.
After finishing the assigned work, he left work early.
When she and Su Wan ran home, Su Wan was lying on the bed admiring the fruits of her labor.
Hearing some movement at the door, she quickly stood up from the bed. Before she could open the door, Xu Guixiang pushed it open and came in.
"Mom"
"Wanwan."
Xu Guixiang just called out Su Wan's name and then she was stunned.
Why is everything in front of me different from before?
Now it looks tidy and warm. She never thought that such an ordinary room could be decorated as beautifully as the rooms of people in the city.
"Wanwan, this... was all caused by you?"
"How is it? Is it much better looking than before?" Su Wan looked at Xu Guixiang proudly.
"Yeah, it looks good, very good." Xu Guixiang nodded in approval.
After that, she suddenly remembered something important and her expression immediately became serious.
"Wanwan, Dog said you want to stay and not leave. Is this true?"
Su Wan nodded, "It's true, Mom, I won't go back to the city anymore."
"What about your job? What do you do every day when you go to work?" Xu Guixiang asked cautiously.
"I sold my job, and I won't have a job anymore. But don't worry, Mom. I won't stay at home and eat for free. I will find a way to make money. You don't have to worry about me."
"What? Sold it? You kid, that's a stable job, right? How could you sell it?"
Have you ever thought that if you have a job in the city, you can always find a partner in the city, but now that you don’t have a job, you may only be able to find a partner in the countryside.”
Xu Guixiang became more and more anxious as she spoke. She didn't know how to persuade Su Wan.
As a rural person, she knows too well the hardships of rural women.
He had to get up before dawn to prepare breakfast for the elderly. He worked in the fields during the day and had to serve the elderly when he came back.
Not to mention the washing, sewing and mending work at home, all the work is done by women.
It's like living like an ox or a horse, with no leisure even for a day.
With my daughter's body weighing less than 1 kilogram, I'm afraid she can't even carry a hoe, let alone work in the fields.
If she marries a farm man and has to work hard day and night, she will cry every day!
But now Su Wan hasn't cried yet, but Xu Guixiang is about to cry out of anxiety.
The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.
Su Wan didn't take Xu Guixiang's words seriously at all. She walked over and pulled Xu Guixiang to make her sit down on the bed.
Xu Guixiang refused. She had just come back from working in the fields and was covered in sweat and mud. She was afraid of dirtying her daughter's clean bed.
Su Wan had no choice but to pull the stool next to the table over for her to sit on.
"Mom, don't think that workers are popular now. In a little while, city dwellers won't be so popular anymore. Some even envy us rural people."
Xu Guixiang didn't believe this at all. City people had jobs and a stable income every month. Why would they envy us, the peasants who had to scrape together a living and couldn't even get enough to eat?
Su Wanxiao didn't dare to say too much. Anyway, it wouldn't be long before China would usher in a great change. When the spring breeze of reform and opening up swept across China, many people would seize the business opportunities, take a gamble, and quickly accumulate wealth, becoming the first group of people to become rich.
In addition, the coastal cities in the south began to open up to the outside world. Many foreign businessmen came to China to set up enterprises and processing plants, which solved many employment problems. A wave of rural people going out to work began, and they flocked to the south without hesitation to make money.
Rural people got jobs, their lives improved greatly, and the whole country was thriving.
"Oh my! Who is this sin? How did such a big bag of good clothes and bedding come to the yard? Did they prepare it or what?"
Suddenly, the sound of Old Lady Su yelling and cursing was heard outside.
Su Wan and Xu Guixiang looked at each other and hurried out.
