169: I can beat both of them alone
According to her original plan, she would wait another ten days or so to collect some sellable things at home before going to the county town, but now it seems that she can't wait that long.
I fell asleep while thinking in a daze.
the next day.
The family did what they were supposed to do. Yu Jiahui went to work, while Xu Ying planted vegetables, fed chickens, dug wild vegetables, and cleaned the house inside and out.
Xu Ying is a very clean person. Although her behavior and personality are more or less influenced by the original owner, becoming fierce and less reasonable, her love of cleanliness has been stubbornly retained.
So now she keeps the house and outside very clean and tidy, especially since the old couple officially moved into the small mud house, the house has been cleaned almost spotlessly, as clean as the city.
Even the chicken coop is cleaner than other people's, and there is no pungent smell.
The couple each performed their duties, and the remaining odds and ends were left to Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye is like the nerve center of this family, invisibly mobilizing the overall situation.
When going to work in the morning, Yu Xiaoye went out with his father. On the way, Yu Xiaoye thought of the roe deer he had cut last night and said:
"Dad, I cut up some roe deer meat last night, and I wanted to give a small piece each to Aunt Wang and Aunt Jinhua. They've always been very kind to our family, so I'd give them a piece so they can try it. I'll say it was a dead roe deer picked up on the road by my aunt's cousin, and he gave me a large piece of meat."
"Well, just send a small piece to your Aunt Wang's house. Don't go to Sai Jinhua's house. Your mother just had a fight with her."
After hearing this, Yu Xiaoye understood his father's attitude. It was obvious that his father was more inclined towards Aunt Wang and always had some prejudice against Sai Jinhua.
This is probably because Aunt Wang is a decent and virtuous woman in the eyes of outsiders. After becoming a widow, she raised her children alone with great difficulty. She possesses the traditional virtues of Chinese women, such as hard work, diligence and thriftiness.
Compared with Widow Wang, Sai Jinhua seemed a little unruly. Not only did her background not seem so respectable, but her style of doing things also seemed bold and unrestrained, making her unpopular.
In addition, Sai Jinhua's family always doted on Yu Xiaoye too much, which made Yu Jiahui feel very uncomfortable. So, how could he possibly give the good roe deer meat to Sai Jinhua's family?
Not to mention roe deer meat, they wouldn’t even want to give that old couple a piece of tofu for free!
Yu Xiaoye hinted:
"Dad, actually, don't look at my mom's rants. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In her heart, she still wants to reconcile with Aunt Jinhua."
Yu Jiahui said lightly:
"It's okay, no need to reconcile, just let them continue. Your mother won't suffer any loss anyway. Even if your mother suffers, I'm still here. I can beat them both by myself."
“???”
As they were talking, the father and daughter came to the open space of the company headquarters, ready to wait to go to work. Yu Xiaoye followed them, mainly because he wanted to find Director Ma and borrow Director Ma's sewing machine to make a quilt cover with the cloth he bought on the black market.
The quilt my parents cover themselves with now is the one from the yacht. The quilt cover is pure white, which doesn’t match the style of that era, especially with the small khaki-colored mud house. It can be seen clearly if there is a little bit of dirt on it.
So Yu Xiaoye wanted to try to get a new quilt cover.
She found Director Ma in the crowd. Director Ma was assigning tasks to a group of female educated youth, who were in the 14th class of the 4th row where Rao Li was.
Yu Xiaoye greeted Yu Jiahui and walked towards those people.
Then Director Ma said to Rao Li:
"Squad Leader Rao, you and the girls in your squad will stay in the company today to take care of the vegetable garden, water it, plant the vegetables that were not planted a few days ago, and weed it as well."
Rao Li agreed very straightforwardly:
"Yes, Director Ma!"
Just as she agreed, Rao Li saw Yu Xiaoye and called out:
"Hey, Xiao Ye is here, Xiao Ye, I just happened to need you for something!"
Yu Xiaoye walked among them:
"What's the matter? Let me tell you first, Director Ma, I want to borrow your sewing machine, is that okay?"
Director Ma said with a genial face:
"Yes, it is just right. I have some needlework I need your help with, and I want you to mend the child's clothes for me."
"no problem!"
Rao Li came over and hooked Yu Xiaoye's arm, smiling and said:
"I came to you to alter my clothes."
Yu Xiaoye looked at the modified work clothes that Rao Li was wearing and said:
"Captain Rao, haven't your clothes been altered? Do you want to alter them again?"
Rao Li: "You didn't do it for me, you did it for a little sister of mine. I have a little sister who grew up with me. She's in the Ninth Company next door. She came to see me yesterday and saw our altered work clothes. She said they looked great, so I wanted to come to you to do some alterations for her today too—"
Yu Xiaoye:? ? ! !
The Ninth Company next door!
Damn, are the people from the Ninth Company next door coming over?
Yu Xiaoye grabbed Rao Li's arm and asked:
"You told the people in the Ninth Company that I could modify their clothes?"
"yes."
"Did you tell them my name?"
"Yes, I told you that there's a talented man named Yu Xiaoye in our company. He's multi-talented and can do everything. He can sing, dance, act, and sew really well. He's a real talent!"
Yu Xiaoye's head buzzed.
Seeing Yu Xiaoye's horrified expression, Rao Li asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Isn't it good for me to help you promote it?"
Yu Xiaoye forced a smile:
"Thank you so much—"
Rao Li chuckled and said:
"Okay, then you go directly to Director Ma's house. When my sister arrives, I'll find you when I have time. You must do me this favor!"
Yu Xiaoye nodded in agreement and turned to go home.
Xu Ying was feeding chickens in the yard. She looked up and saw her usually carefree daughter looking unhappy with a frown. When her daughter came closer, she asked
:
"What's wrong? Director Ma won't lend you the sewing machine?"
"no--"
"Did you have a quarrel with someone?"
"No--"
"What's going on?"
Yu Xiaoye looked down at his altered work clothes and said in frustration:
"I shouldn't have shown off. Now, the Ninth Company next door knows that there's a guy named Yu Xiaoye in the Eighth Company who can alter clothes. They came to me and asked me to help them alter their clothes."
At first, Xu Ying didn't understand why her daughter was worried about this. Isn't this a good thing? People asked her for help, which shows that she has the ability to help others -
Oh, that's not right!
Helping others is a fart! New Novel King
If Yu Xiaoye's name were to reach the Ninth Company, wouldn't the fact that their family was hiding in the Eighth Company be exposed?
Xu Ying was so frightened that he almost dropped the wooden barrel in his hand.
"My goodness, this is terrible. What if someone comes to our door?"
"Isn't that what I'm worried about? If my name gets around in the Ninth Company, I'm worried that Li Dasong's family will eventually find out that we're hiding in the Eighth Company. I'm not worried about my two brothers coming looking for us, I'm just afraid that Li Dasong's family will come looking for us. They're not the kind of people you can mess with."
"What should we do then?"
