Chapter 63
"We just finished eating. Aunt Jinhua, do you want to take a break first? After a while, have a drink of water and then we'll go." Bai Xiu Xiu invited her into the house.
At this moment, the two children were already dressed neatly, and each of them brought a small cloth bag containing their own toys.
The Women's Federation of their village worked in the brigade, and the yard in the brigade was not small, which was just right for the two children to play there.
Chen Jinhua quickly refused: "I won't drink water today. Director Wang is waiting to hand over to me. We Women's Federation members can move around. We have a lot of things to do. Let's go first."
"Then I'll lock the door and we'll leave. Mingming, Yueyue, it's time for us to go out."
Bai Xiuxiu took the two children out and locked the door.
Chen Jinhua looked at Bai Xiuxiu's two children and thought about her own sister who had been pregnant for several years and still hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy. Although she was not being bullied by her husband's family, she still felt insecure.
If her sister had a child, wouldn't life be smooth?
In the yard, the Wang family members who were working saw Bai Xiu Xiu following Chen Jin Hua out, and they felt unhappy.
The work of the Women's Federation is respectable no matter how you talk about it.
How nice it would be if it could fall on my own wife's head?
The one who felt the most uncomfortable was Liu Xiao'e, who was hiding in the kitchen.
Liu Xiao'e looked at Bai Xiuxiu, who was dressed neatly and walking with her two children following Chen Jinhua, and her nails that were holding on to the windowsill almost broke.
Sister-in-law...how could she be so lucky? She has a son, a sister and a mother who love her, her brother listens to her, and she doesn't have to work!
Everything is so good, why did this job fall on her?
"Second son's wife? Hurry up and boil some water so that everyone in the family can make some salt water to drink. It's a physical job, how can we do it without salt water?" Wang Shoucheng's voice could be heard through the kitchen wall.
In the kitchen, Liu Xiao'e felt even more sad.
Why is her life so miserable?
She is the only one in the family who takes care of the elderly at home every day and also has to take care of the whole family.
Everyone else has serious things to do.
Liu Xiao'e felt aggrieved in her heart, but she dared not show it on her face, and she just vented her anger.
Bai Xiuxiu followed Chen Jinhua out of the door. When they found themselves in a place where no one was around, she quietly took out the small cloth bag that Wang Qinghe had prepared for her from her big cloth bag. The bag contained a pound of brown sugar, ten eggs, and the cloth that her sister had brought her.
She cut three feet of cloth from it. It was not enough to make a big dress, but it was enough to make something small.
"Aunt Jinhua, you've been running around for me this time, and my husband and I have nothing to thank you for. Take these things, and we'll thank you later when we have something better." Bai Xiuxiu stuffed the small cloth bag into her hands.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Chen Jinhua said this, but she was not prepared to refuse.
She had indeed spent a lot of time and effort on Bai Xiu Xiu's trip, and had also offended other people. After all, who wouldn't want to do a job that required no work and paid well?
It's decent to say it out loud, and those who are ambitious will think about it even more.
The brigade formed by the merger of three villages has the most abundant thing in the world: people.
She had offended other people, so she felt comfortable taking this thing.
Chen Jinhua accepted the things and felt around to find out what was inside. As expected, Xiuxiu was a very nice wife, and she put things that were in short supply.
Looking at Bai Xiuxiu again, she seemed to be even more friendly: "Xiuxiu, I won't refuse this thing from you, I will accept it. But if you thank me this time, I will know that you are grateful in your heart, so don't thank me again in the future.
If you give me something again, I will feel embarrassed to accept it."
Chen Jinhua was carrying the cloth bag, and she felt that Bai Xiuxiu was a very well behaved person. The way she held it made it look like she was carrying it herself, without having to hide it.
The two of them arrived at the brigade. There were not many people in the brigade. Except for the accountant and the brigade leader who came every day, everyone else was busy with their own family affairs, or went to the commune for meetings, or did housework.
The commune's brigade consisted of six tiled houses with neat courtyard walls two meters high.
The yard is also flat.
Seeing Chen Jinhua coming over, the captain saw his wife bringing the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bai family over and nodded: "Xiao Wang is waiting for you, go over quickly."
"Okay, I'll go over there now. By the way, the rice in our pot is still hot. Mom was feeling unwell and didn't eat when I was out. Please take some time to go home and take care of her and have dinner." Chen Jinhua said a few words to her husband and took Bai Xiuxiu into the house.
There is a big table in the room which is made up of four small tables put together.
There are three people in the room now.
One of them was a tall woman who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing an army green outfit and had short hair.
She was the busiest. She showed this to the other two people, then talked about that.
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu coming with Chen Jinhua, she also greeted them: "Sister Chen, you are here? I have been waiting for you. I have almost handed over everything that needs to be handed over. This is yours. The commune is still waiting for me to go and complete the employment registration, so time is a bit tight.
It's just right that you're here. As for the rest, you can take care of it on yourselves, right?
If there is anything you are not familiar with, come back to the commune to find me."
Chen Jinhua was very happy when she heard this.
What she feared most was that Director Wang would leave with a bunch of demands.
She is leaving now, that's great.
Chen Jinhua took all the things that Director Wang handed over: "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely manage our Women's Federation well in the future and will not cause you any trouble. You have to make sure everything goes well in the commune."
"Thank you, Mrs. Chen. I'll be leaving now."
Director Wang works just like Chen Jinhua, in a hurry and aggressive manner.
After everyone left, Chen Jinhua felt more at ease and looked at the other two people: "Let me introduce you, this is Bai Xiuxiu from Xiahe Village."
"Just call me Xiu Xiu." Bai Xiu Xiu smiled very friendly.
"Xiu Xiu, the one on the left wearing a blue shirt is Liu Xiaohui from Shanghe Village. She is a little older than you and is 26 years old this year. She took my previous position. You can just call her sister. The one on the right wearing a green shirt is Xiao Miao, the daughter of the village chief of Zhonghe Village. She just turned 20 this year.
Just call her Miaomiao, she does the same job as you.
When we go to mediate family disputes in the future, you and she will follow us.
When the time comes, the recording will depend on you two."
Chen Jinhua introduced the three little girls in the room to each other.
Liu Xiaohui is now the second in command in this room.
She looked like someone who was not easy to bully, but she was very friendly.
Miaomiao was full of curiosity about Bai Xiuxiu. The brigade was located in Xiahe Village, and she was also walking around in the village.
Bai Xiuxiu's mother-in-law often said that she was lazy and gluttonous, but this rumor was only recently broken by Aunt Jinhua.
The people in the room greeted each other and became familiar with each other.
We are all in the same team, so we get to know each other quickly.
"We don't have any big problems every day. If a daughter-in-law or mother-in-law comes to complain, we can go over and mediate."
