Chapter 369 Disease
It’s not that I think thirty yuan is too much, it’s just that Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu live with Liu Mingyuan’s family.
Not to mention Liu Mingyuan, the eldest brother Liu and the second brother Liu each gave 30 yuan, which is 60 yuan a year.
There's not much use for money in the countryside.
Liu Ersao was afraid that the old couple would use the money to subsidize Liu Mingyuan's family.
She opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.
It was Brother Liu who took the initiative to propose giving her thirty yuan a month. If she didn't agree, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
Besides, Second Brother Liu is now a wage earner, so his situation is better than that of the Third Brother's family.
Huang Xiaoyue also had some thoughts...They worked in the countryside to earn work points, but all they earned throughout the year was just enough for their own food, so it was good enough to fill their stomachs.
Giving 30 yuan a year to support the elderly couple? It's quite difficult for them.
However, Huang Xiaoyue didn't say anything. She divided the family property first and discussed the retirement arrangements later.
Anyway, how to make money is Liu Mingyuan's headache.
Jiang Cuihua could tell at a glance that the two sisters-in-law had their own thoughts. She sighed in her heart and said, "Don't think that the money is too much. When we get old, we will have many illnesses, both major and minor. This money should be used for our medical treatment."
It's okay to hold on to the money first. No one knows what will happen in the future. She and Liu Lai Fu also have to make plans for the future.
Now that things have come to this, how can anyone else dare to have any opinions?
Neither side had any objections, so the division was considered a good one.
Mrs. Liu must want to go to the island as early as possible.
As soon as the family was divided, Liu Ersao took Liu Yinyin by the hand and said, "How about I go to the island with you guys after the New Year? Just like last time, we can rent a house in the village first."
If you settle down on the island, you will have to choose a site to build a house.
Brother Liu is busy at work, so if she wants to come, she can just handle some things.
Liu Yinyin had no opinion: "Second sister-in-law, as long as you make it in time."
"It's definitely in time." Second Sister Liu said hurriedly, "There aren't many things at home, just clothes and quilts, we can pack them up in a day..."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This year the harvest is good.
Moreover, Liujia Village now has side businesses. In addition to raising rabbits, the village has also built several houses to raise pigs.
This year it was just a trial, and the number of piglets caught was not many, only twelve.
With the help of Jiang Zhiqing, all twelve pigs were raised. After almost a year, each pig was quite big, with the smallest weighing at least 250 to 260 kilograms.
By the beginning of next spring, the scale of pig farming in the village will definitely expand.
Apart from anything else, raising pigs and selling meat is really profitable.
Pork is always in high demand.
Of the twelve pigs, ten have been sold.
There were two pigs left. One was killed during the autumn harvest and distributed to the villagers who had come to grab the harvest to replenish their bodies.
The other end is saved for eating during the Chinese New Year.
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, sounds of slaughtering pigs were heard in the village.
Next, the meat was distributed to the villagers...
The last pig was raised the longest and must be the largest. I heard it weighs about 320 kilograms.
It's a real big pig.
The villagers also received a lot of pork.
In addition to pork, the villagers generously killed twenty fat rabbits and distributed them to the villagers for the New Year.
Liu Yinyin's family did not participate in the village's agricultural affairs, so they definitely did not get any pork.
I did get a piece of rabbit meat. When I first started raising rabbits, most of the rabbit breeds in the village were given by Liu Yinyin.
Now, it can be considered as a dividend to Liu Yinyin's family.
Today is New Year's Eve, the day for eating dumplings.
Liu Yinyin is also preparing to make dumplings... If you want to make more, make more. It's just right that it has been snowing these few days, so the dumplings can be frozen outside.
There were three or four pounds of fresh pork at home, and Liu Yinyin was thinking about making dumplings with two kinds of fillings.
Mushroom and bamboo shoot meat filling.
The food we eat on New Year's Eve is dumplings.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Yinyin's family was thinking about returning to the island.
In the cat winter, there is nothing to do at home.
It's snowing outside, so we can't go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables or look for mushrooms at this time.
Gu Cheng's hand has almost healed, and he also wants to return to the army as soon as possible.
Gu Cheng: "Go back in two days."
I'll use these two days to tidy up the house.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "I will go to the village later to see when my second brother and his wife will return."
The proof of relocation of Liu Erge's family's residence has been obtained, and the only things left are the trivial matters at home.
Mrs. Liu was very happy: "I have made up my mind. I want to go to the island with you."
The journey was long, and I was a little worried about bringing too much. Apart from the important food and clothing, there wasn't much else.
She and Brother Liu Er can lift it together.
Liu Yinyin said, "Sister-in-law, we will set out the day after tomorrow morning."
There was no need for her to explain anything else, as this was not the first time that Liu Ersao had returned to the island.
Knowing that they were about to leave, the people in the Liu family were helping them prepare good things.
Jiang Cuihua brought a bag of dried vegetables to give to Liu Yinyin: "I just dried them, they are still fresh."
Liu Yinyin confiscated it: "Mom, you can keep it for my second sister-in-law. I also dried some myself."
Having nothing to do at home during this period, she did dry a lot of vegetables, mainly dried radishes and lettuces.
Whether Liu Ersao goes to the island or not, she has no land and no job, and she needs these things more than she does.
Jiang Cuihua curled her lips when she heard this: "Don't worry, she won't be left out. Her parents have given her a lot."
With Liu Ersao's personality, she can't stand losses.
Liu Yinyin could only accept it. Thinking of something, she worried again: "Mom... I will go to the county town tomorrow to buy two more boxes of stomach medicine for Dad. If Dad has stomach discomfort, he can take some medicine."
Liu Yinyin only found out a few days ago that Liu Laifu had been suffering from stomach discomfort in recent months.
I took him to the county hospital, and they said he had gastritis and prescribed him a box of medicine.
Liu Yinyin was still a little worried. Medical technology was not well developed at that time, and she was afraid that the examination would not be thorough and the disease would be delayed.
She originally wanted to take Liu Lai Fu to visit Qing City, but Liu Lai Fu was unwilling to go.
He said his symptoms were not serious and he would be fine after taking some medicine.
Jiang Cuihua, on the other hand, is not too worried: "As people age, they tend to have some minor health problems. This is also the case with other elderly people in the village."
Liu Lai Fu only felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach when he was eating, but otherwise he was fine, no different from a normal person.
It doesn't delay your work.
Besides, I've already gone to the hospital and got the medicine, so what else could go wrong?
Liu Yinyin sighed: "Dad is old now, he just needs to do some light work in the future, it's okay if he earns less work points."
Liu Lai-fu is now working and still gets full work points. He also gets a lot of food, but he is really tired.
It's not so easy to get full work points.
She wanted Liu Lai Fu to stop working in the fields, but he would definitely not agree.
