Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Second Update

Zhou Chuntao came home swearing. Xu Wei had prepared dinner and was waiting at home. When she saw Zhou Chuntao coming in, she stood up immediately and said, "Mom, how is it?"

Xu Qi was sitting at the small dining table, wolfing down his meal. When he saw Zhou Chuntao, he shouted, "No meat, Mom, I want meat!"

Before his mother left, she said that she was going out to do some work. When the work was done, they would not only have a spacious house to live in, but also eat white rice every day and meat from time to time.

Zhou Chuntao's face didn't look good, but she comforted her son immediately: "Yes, there will be some in the future, dear, just wait a little longer."

Xu Qi snorted, put the whole bowl of steamed egg into her own bowl, and continued to eat without even looking at the bowl of cabbage next to her.

Seeing that her son was only concerned about eating, Zhou Chuntao pulled Xu Wei aside and said, "That naughty girl from the Shen family is hard to deal with. She has ruined my good deeds. It seems that Shen Shaoyuan is not so easy to deal with. Xiaowei, it seems that the family still has to rely on you for the time being. You see, during the New Year and other festivals, your brother only ate meat on New Year's Eve, and he hasn't eaten anything good in the past few days. He is in the period of growing up, and this can't go on. You should go find Zheng Zhiqing tomorrow and borrow some meat tickets from him."

Xu Wei hesitated: "I'm afraid the meat tickets are..."

Zhou Chuntao: "Of course you can't just ask for meat tickets. You said that your brother and I are not in good health."

Xu Wei gritted her teeth and nodded: "Yeah."

On the other side, Fu Mingze came out of the stove with dishes, and saw Shen Shaoyuan riding a bicycle into the yard as if there was a dog chasing him.

"..."

Fu Mingze looked behind Shen Shaoyuan and didn't see Shen Moer, so he asked, "Dad, where is Moer? Didn't she go to look for you?"

Shen Shaoyuan parked his bike and said, "She's behind."

Fu Mingze wanted to ask why you didn't let someone bring your bike back, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words and went into the kitchen to get a basin of warm water for Shen Shaoyuan: "Wash your face first."

Not long after, Shen Moer came back and the family of three sat down to eat. Fu Mingze then realized why his father-in-law looked like he was bitten by a dog when he came back.

The fact that his father-in-law was almost entangled by a widow was incredible at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed quite normal.

The original Shen Laoqi was very inconspicuous, honest, and average at work. Although there were only father and daughter in the family, their living conditions were relatively poor in the village. After all, they were often fooled by their brothers and sisters-in-law. He looked good, but because he often did not eat enough and was very thin, it was not obvious. Besides, in the countryside, the old men did not look at appearance.

But now Shen Shaoyuan, because the food has always been good, like Shen Moer, the body that was forcibly changed to be similar to the original owner has slowly recovered to its original appearance. In addition, Shen Shaoyuan's own knowledge and temperament, even if he did not deliberately show it, always look very different from ordinary farmers.

Of course, everyone in the village thinks that Shen Shaoyuan is different because he has become a worker.

What's more important is that he has a job now and is an official.

He looks good, is not too old, has a job, and has only one daughter. For a single man with his conditions, let alone in Yangliu Brigade, even in Liuqiao Commune, there are probably people willing to marry him.

Fu Mingze never thought about it before, but now he thinks that it is entirely possible for his father-in-law to have a second spring.

When there were only two of them at night, Fu Mingze couldn't help asking Shen Moli, "Will Dad want to find another one?"

His father-in-law is only in his forties, so it's normal for him to find another one. But if he really finds someone like Zhou Chuntao, it will probably bring unrest to the family.

Although Shen Shaoyuan seemed quite smart now, and shouldn't be fooled that easily, Fu Mingze was not so sure when he thought about how he and his daughter were fooled and almost starved to death.

Shen Moer huddled in his arms, rubbing her head against his chest, and said in a daze: "My father doesn't want to look for another one. He said that he loves my mother deeply and his love is as deep as the sea and as strong as gold... But I think he is actually bothering me."

What does this mean now? In the past, when it was very cold, he was a pampered and idle prince, and now he is the closest brother. There were so many wild bees and butterflies who wanted to throw themselves on him, but he slapped them away with his own hands.

Her father had said before that he was willing to be controlled by her mother. After her mother passed away, he no longer wanted to be controlled by others. It would be great to be a widower, free and easy.

Fu Mingze: "..."

All right.

Shen Moli hadn't gone to work yet, but a group of people from the commune came to the brigade. At first Zhou Mancang thought that the people from the commune were looking for Shen Moli, but after talking to each other, they found out that they were looking for Fu Mingze.

Their brigade had been doing trial fields according to the method figured out by Fu Mingze. It wasn't much, just five mu of land, all planted with potatoes. At the end of the year, when they harvested, they harvested 20% more than other plots. When the commune asked the teams to report their work at the end of the year, Zhou Mancang reported this matter. Later, an official from the commune asked him about the details.

Zhou Mancang thought that since it was only five mu of land, he could not explain any problems. He would expand the experimental field a little bit in the spring plowing, and get three or five mu. If the harvest increased, he would talk to the leaders of the commune.

But the commune sent people down at the beginning of the year.

The deputy director of the commune in charge of agriculture led the team personally, and there were several officials and agricultural technicians from the agricultural technology station. A group of people went to the experimental field to take a look, and asked Fu Mingze to introduce them to the experimental field. They also got some soil and celery planted in the field and went back.

A few days later, Zhou Mancang and Fu Mingze were called to the commune.

Fu Mingze stayed in the commune for a day and came back to tell Shen Moli that the commune had set up a crop production increase working group and he had been absorbed as a member of the group. He had no position and no organization, but the commune would give him a salary subsidy every month according to the standard of agricultural technicians.

Through his own efforts, Fu Zhiqing got a non-staff job that did not require political review, and finally had a legitimate way to make money.

Moreover, this job has another advantage. It often requires in-depth investigations and research in various brigades. Not only does it have subsidies, but it also has the opportunity to swindle materials from various brigades, which gives Fu Mingze greater convenience.

The family's overall income increased significantly, and Shen Moer and Shen Shaoyuan were naturally very happy. They cut a piece of wild boar that day, stewed it with fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and had a good meal.

The next day was Sunday, and the whole family slept in lazily.

There was no other way. It was cold in winter, and the quilt was naturally attractive. Shen Moer couldn't get up, and Fu Mingze was hugged by his wife and couldn't get up even if he wanted to. Shen Shaoyuan got up early every day and finally had a day off, so he was naturally reluctant to get up.

Unfortunately, someone banged on the gate of their house. Fu Mingze listened for a while, but he didn't see the person outside stop. He could only hold his wife's hand and move her back to her own pillow, saying, "I'll get up and take a look."

When Fu Mingze got up, the quilt quickly cooled down. Shen Moer shrank up and wanted to sleep a little longer. Hearing the noise outside, she had no choice but to get up.

Putting on a cotton jacket and cotton shoes, Shen Moer combed her hair casually with a comb, tied it with a hair tie, and walked out of the house.

In the yard stood Yang Da Niu, who was pregnant. Zhou Xiaoshuan carefully supported her arm, and next to her was Zhou Zhaodi, who was angry.

Yang Da Nv cursed at Fu Mingze: "Do you think Shen Moer is meddling in our business? We are studying well in the brigade, why should we go to school in the county? We don't care about being arranged for dormitories and eating in the cafeteria! If she is away from home all day, who will do the housework at home?! Since it is a reward, we will study in the brigade, and the rations can be given to us directly, right?!"

Fu Mingze said indifferently: "This is a decision made by the county, why are you coming to our house to make trouble?"

Yang Da Nv snorted coldly: "Zhou Mancang said that this was fought for by Shen Moer for the two children. Bah, we don't need her to meddle in our business!"

Zhou Xiaoshuan chimed in: "Yes, we don't need it."

Zhou Zhaodi's eyes were red.

Shen Moer told her that the teaching conditions in the county were better, and that she could receive a better education and continue to learn painting by transferring to Dongfanghong Primary School. They promised that not only would she not have to pay tuition, but they would also give her a subsidy. As long as she studied painting well, she could continue to study and could go to Qianjin Middle School in the future.

The captain came to tell them last night and asked her family to prepare to send her to school. Yang Danu didn't react at first, thinking that they were going to give her a subsidy, and she was quite happy. But when she realized that she was going to transfer to the county, she immediately stopped.

Yang Danniu scolded her all night last night. In the morning, she supervised her to do all the housework, and then dragged her here, asking her to tell Shen Moer that she didn’t want to go to the county to study.

But she wanted to go!

Zhou Zhaodi couldn’t help crying: "Why don’t you let me go, I want to go, I want to go!"

Shen Moer glanced at the door. She hadn’t washed yet and didn’t want to go out to see people. Zhou Zhaodi cried and hiccuped, so she had to go out and said, "It’s useless for you to come here to make trouble. The county has already transferred your student status. This is an important decision made by the superiors to cultivate special talents, just like the army selecting people to join the army. Once selected, you can go. You must go. This is all for the sake of better construction. Are you making such a fuss to deliberately hinder the socialist construction in the county? "

Yang Danu was stunned, not understanding how a girl going to school could be related to the socialist construction in the county: "Don't try to fool me, I don't believe it."

But think about it, it is true that ordinary people have to pay tuition to go to school, and they are exempted from tuition and given subsidies. Where have you heard of such a good thing?

Shen Moer curled her lips: "Why would I lie to you? Do you think I can exempt my tuition and provide subsidies just by talking to others? Am I that capable?"

Yang Danniu was skeptical and said timidly: "Then, then as parents, can we not make decisions for our children?"

Shen Moer: "Of course we can't do that. Have you ever seen a soldier who joins the army obey his parents' orders? Of course, I will listen to the dispatch of the troops."

Yang Da Nv hesitated and said, "Since it is construction, can't my Wu Jiabao go? What kind of construction can a little girl do? !" Shen Moer

said calmly, "If you keep making trouble, I will call the militia to take you to the police station."

Don't think that Yang Da Nv dared to make trouble at home. In fact, she always got nothing in Shen Moer's hands, and she was quite afraid of Shen Moer in her heart. She

was also making a fuss in a pretentious manner. When Shen Moer didn't show up, she was still scolding happily. As soon as Shen Moer came out, she immediately became weak. Now when she heard Shen Moer say that she would send her to the police station, she quickly calmed down.

She just kept repeating in her mouth: "What kind of construction is this little girl doing? Our Jiabao should go there."

After hesitating for a while, she saw that Shen Moer ignored her and went to wash up, so she could only leave unwillingly.

Yang Da Nv knew that Shen Moer was not just talking when she said she would send someone to the police station. Shen Moer dared to send several people from the old Shen family to the police station, let alone them? If she continued to hesitate, she would really cause trouble for others, and she would not have a good ending.

"Oh, why is my life so hard? I'm about to give birth, and there won't even be anyone to help wash diapers!" Yang Da Nv immediately cried out after leaving the Shen family.

Halfway through her crying, she suddenly covered her stomach: "Ouch, ouch, my stomach hurts——"
