Xiao Yu: "I don't know about this. You can set a price, or ask the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative when you go to work on Monday. They are in this position and they must know something."

Lin Yiyi: "That's a problem, why not give 500? It's equivalent to Xiaoling's salary for two years. If their family can't come up with 500 yuan at once, we can give 200 yuan every year."

Xiao Yu: "Okay, you decide."

When Xiao Yu cleaned up the table and was about to leave, Qin Xiangju came. She had cooked in the morning and returned to the old house. Knowing that the couple had been separated for a few days, they must have a lot to talk about, so the old woman was more interested.

Qin Xiangju saw her son pushing his bicycle out, and she asked, "Are you going out? You don't have to go to work today, right?"

Xiao Yu: "Go to Xiao Ling's house and talk to her about work."

Qin Xiangju: "Work matters? What work matters? How can your work matters involve her?"

Xiao Yu: “No…” Then he explained how he resumed his business and how Lin Yiyi followed the army.

Qin Xiangju: "Oh my God, there is such a thing?"

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, do you think it's appropriate to sell this job to my sister-in-law for 500 yuan?"

Qin Xiangju hesitated, not because of the 500 yuan, but because her daughter-in-law's previous job was taken by Daqiang, and this job was actually for sale. This surprised her and made her puzzled: "This job is sold directly, not let Xiaoling take it?"

Lin Yiyi: “Yes, I will sell it.” In addition to selling it to the Xiao family, this job can also be sold to Lin Zhen’s family. It is impossible to sell it to other unrelated families. If there are no relatives, then it will be sold to others instead.

Between the Xiao family and the Lin Zhen family, the Xiao family is naturally the closest. If it is sold to the Lin Zhen family, what will the elders of the Xiao family think? So the Lin Zhen family does not need to consider it at all.

But there is still a problem. Lin Yiyi thought for a while and asked: "Mom, if I sell the job to Xiaoling, my eldest brother and third brother..."

Qin Xiangju said: "This is a difficult matter for me. No matter who they are, they are all family members."

Xiao Yu: "How about this, this job costs 500, and we'll sell it to whoever can gather 500 at once. If there are more than two people who can gather 500, we'll draw lots." Just like the house incident before.

Qin Xiangju: "Okay, then you go and call Xiaoling, I'll go back to the old house and tell everyone."

After Qin Xiangju left, Lin Yiyi said, "It was because I didn't think it through at first. I thought about Xiaoling but forgot about my eldest brother and third brother."

Xiao Yu: "Drawing lots is not bad. No matter who draws the lot, they will not

What can I say? "To him, brothers and sisters are the same, and it is good enough that his wife can think of his sister.

Qin Xiangju returned to the old house and told Grandma Xiao about this.

After hearing this, Grandma Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "The second daughter-in-law is still lucky. Now the eldest and third daughters-in-law have gone to work. Let's tell them when they come back at noon." In Grandma Xiao's heart, Xiao Ling, a married granddaughter, is certainly not as important as the first and third wives. After all, the money earned by the first and third wives goes to the children of the Xiao family, and Xiao Ling is already married. But she would not say such selfish thoughts.

Xiao Yu picked up Xiao Ling and she already knew about this. She was very happy that her sister-in-law thought of her. But...

Lin Yiyi entertained Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, have some tea."

Xiao Ling: "Thank you, second sister-in-law." She picked up the enamel cup and took a sip. "I haven't congratulated second sister-in-law yet, but the baby is already three months old."

Lin Yiyi: “Thank you.”

Xiao Ling put down the enamel cup and said, "Sister-in-law, regarding your work, I have some troubles here too."

Lin Yiyi asked, "Is it because of the 500 yuan?"

Xiao Ling said, "The money is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that we haven't separated yet. We don't have 500 in our personal savings. Assuming we borrowed 500 and we won the lottery, what about the money we earned from work? We haven't separated yet, so we have to hand it over. But if they knew we had jobs, it would be impossible for them to separate. Second sister-in-law, what do you think we should do?"

This question stumped Lin Yiyi: "What kind of person is your mother-in-law?"

Xiao Ling: "She's a pretty good person. My husband is the eldest son, but she prefers the youngest son."

Lin Yiyi: "Even if I favor my youngest son, there is no reason to ask you to give up your job. Which in-laws would ask their daughter-in-law to recognize the job given by her parents?"

Xiao Ling: "Even if they don't ask me to give up my job, what if I have to hand over the money I earn from work?" Just in case.

Lin Yiyi, a modern person, could not imagine such a bizarre thing as handing in wages. In fact, in their family, her father and mother both share finances in an AA system. Her mother saves the money she earns, and her father gives her mother household expenses every month. In other words, all the expenses of the family are paid by her father, and her mother can buy things she likes with her own money. Her mother does not have much savings. She has saved about 1.8 million yuan in her lifetime. After all, her mother's wages were relatively low in that era. Her mother's biggest investment was to buy a house in Xiamen. At that time, the real estate prices in Xiamen were not as high as they are now.

So whether it is the modern people's ideas or Lin Yiyi herself

She doesn't agree with the idea of ​​handing over wages. Based on her own ideas and according to her family, women spend and save their own money, and men pay for all household expenses.

However, the thinking of this era constrains the women of this era.

Xiao Ling: "Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?"

Lin Yiyi: "According to my idea, you should just force them. If they don't split up, you don't have to hand over your wages. Of course, even if they split up, you don't have to hand over your wages. If they make trouble, just let them do it. The law doesn't stipulate that not handing over wages is a crime. As long as you can stand their troubles, it's fine. Once or twice, they won't make trouble anymore after a few times."

Xiao Ling had a straightforward personality, like Qin Xiangju. Although she was asking Lin Yiyi, she already had the idea in her mind. It was absolutely impossible for her to hand over her wages.

Lin Yiyi: "But there are some things that you need to talk to your brother-in-law about. After all, you are a family. For a woman to do something, she needs the support of the man in the family. Otherwise, if there are conflicts between two people in the family, it will not be good after a long time. The man still needs to keep his heart stable."

Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Second sister-in-law has captured my second brother's heart."

Lin Yiyi didn't agree with what she heard: "Your second brother is very stubborn. He has a hold on my heart."

Xiao Yu sat in the yard, listening to them chatting inside. When he heard his sister's words, he wanted to refute them. Even if some things were true, they could not be said out loud, otherwise he would lose face. But when he heard his wife's words, he couldn't help but curl his lips. His wife's heart was with him.

Xiao Ling sat in the second room for a while, then went to the Xiao family's old house. After Xiao Ling left, Xiao Yu walked into the room and sat down in front of Lin Yiyi. He opened his legs, slightly bent his waist, and looked at Lin Yiyi at eye level.

Lin Yiyi raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Xiao-Woo: "I want to tell you something."

Lin Yiyi: “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Yu licked his lips and wanted to say it, but he was a little embarrassed. Even the most intimate things have been done, but sometimes, it is still embarrassing to say intimate words. Xiao Yu thinks this is a daytime relationship.

Lin Yiyi looked at him and said, "I'm asking you a question. Why are you blushing? Are you thinking about something naughty?"

Xiao Yu chuckled: "Actually..."

Lin Yiyi: “Hmm?”

Xiao-Woo: "Actually, I hope you join the army because I want you to go with me."

Lin Yiyi reached out and patted his face: "Deputy Director Xiao,

You are so cute. "

Xiao Yu grabbed Lin Yiyi's hand and held it in his palm.

Lin Yiyi: “What are you doing?”

Xiao Yu looked at her with a smile.

Lin Yiyi blinked and suddenly said, "The child kicked me."

Xiao Yu was stunned, then he touched Lin Yiyi's belly and asked excitedly, "Really?"

Lin Yiyi laughed out loud: "That's fake. Normally, it takes a pregnant woman four months of pregnancy to feel the fetal movement, idiot." Then she stood up.

Xiao Yu stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Yiyi: "Xiaoling will eat here at noon. I'll go and prepare lunch."

Xiao-Woo: "Mom will come and cook."

Lin Yiyi: "We have to prepare some food. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if they have any pork."

Xiao Yu: "Don't you like eating pork recently?" His wife likes to eat lighter food recently, and pork is a bit greasy.

Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes: "Your sister must like it."

Xiao-Woo: "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Lin Yiyi gave him the meat ticket, which was obtained by the Lin family's younger brothers.

Xiao Yu rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Lin Yiyi followed him around the village. Xiao Yu went back and forth very quickly, and he came back in less than an hour. Seeing Lin Yiyi sitting at the entrance of the village, he got off his bike and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lin Yiyi: “Come and sunbathe. Is there no meat today?” She saw that the basket he brought was empty.

Xiao Yu: "The commune didn't kill pigs today."

Lin Yiyi: “Then let’s steam some bacon slices.” The New Year’s goods distributed before the New Year were pork, and the Lin family’s younger brothers used meat coupons as rewards to exchange for some pork, which was all made into bacon.

Xiao-Woo: "You decide."

When they returned home, they saw Qin Xiangju and Xiao Ling sitting in the yard.

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, Xiaoling, you are here."

Qin Xiangju: "I came but didn't see you. Are you out?"

Lin Yiyi: "Brother Yu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat for lunch, but the commune didn't kill pigs today, so there's no meat." Some things you do need to be known to others. If you don't let others know, they won't know. What's the point of being good to others if you don't let them know?

Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. I'll just eat something casually."

Qin Xiangju was very happy to see the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law.

When they were almost done with lunch at noon, people from the first and third rooms arrived.
