Chapter 79 Accountant Lin



Chapter 79 Accountant Lin

Lin Shu didn’t want to hide the fact that she met Lu Shaotang this time from her parents-in-law and the children. The key was what should she say?

Her parents-in-law and the children asked her what she had said to Lu Shaotang? What

had she said to Lu Shaotang? She

said nothing.

What had she done? She

couldn’t say it!

She was really confused.

She thought about bribing her sister-in-law not to tell her parents.

But her sister-in-law went home, changed her clothes, and went to the brigade to drive a tractor to plow the land.

So after Yao Naiwen left, Lin Shu washed clothes at home while thinking about how to explain to her parents-in-law and the children.

Her mother had been out for two days and two nights before she came back. Tiantian and Panpan missed her mother, so they didn’t go out to play, but squatted by the washbasin to help Lin Shu wash clothes.

Seeing Lin Shu in a daze, they looked at each other.

Tiantian: "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Panpan: "Are you thinking about my dad?"

Lin Shu's cheeks were visibly red, and she felt her face was hot. She looked into the water and was shocked.

The two children laughed.

Mom was thinking about her dad so much that her face turned red.

Just like the cowherd and the weaver girl that grandpa talked about, the weaver girl would definitely blush when she saw the cowherd. Grandpa also said that if

you hide under the grape trellis on the seventh day of the seventh month, you can hear the cowherd and the weaver girl whispering, and you can also see the magpies building the magpie bridge.

Unfortunately, the grape trellis in their house has not grown yet. This year, the three of them hid under the grape trellis for a long time and didn't hear anything. In the end, they were carried back by grandpa to sleep.

In order to save herself from being embarrassed in front of the kids, Lin Shu began to brainwash them, "What if someone peeks at you while you're bathing and takes your clothes?"

Tiantian immediately said in a baby voice, "Beat the hooligans! Catch them! Parade them through the streets!"

Panpan: "Beat him till his teeth are all over the floor!"

The two kids were filled with righteous indignation for a while, and looked at each other, suddenly realizing that the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was not fun anymore?

Tiantian whispered, "Is the Cowherd a voyeur?"

Lin Shu taught them to be a voyeur. She told them that if someone was peeping or eavesdropping on them through the back window of their house, or if someone was peeping at them when they were using the restroom, they must shout loudly. The two kids remembered it well.

Panpan: "Ugh~ Damn it."

The two kids instantly lost their favor for the Cowherd.

At noon, Fang Dihua came back to bring lunch.

The daughter-in-law's cheeks were red, and she was speechless after being asked by the two sons.

Tiantian: "Mom, did you really see Dad?! What did Dad say to you? When did he say he would be back?"

Panpan: "What does Dad look like?

" Lin Shu: "The same as in the photo."

Panpan: "Then he looks exactly like Grandpa?"

Lin Shu: "Dad and Grandpa are different."

The two sons: "How are they different? The photo looks exactly like Grandpa!"

Lin Shu: "..."

Obviously they are different.

They kept asking what Dad was doing, what he said to Mom, and what you guys were doing...

Lin Shu's face turned red like a shrimp.

She can fool people without any scruples in front of Zhao Meifeng and others, but she is very shy in front of her own children.

Fang Dihua is an experienced person, what doesn't she know?

As soon as she called out, the two children immediately came to greet her with joy. The two children

whispered, "Grandma, has my mother seen Dad?"

Fang Dihua smiled, went into the house and said to Lin Shu, "Did he meet him in the city? Did he say when he would be back?"

Lin Shu took out the note and showed it to her.

The two children said, "Wow, there's another letter?"

They stood on tiptoe and were so anxious that they were screaming.

Fang Dihua sat on a small stool and read them together.

The two children looked at the kiss on the letter, and Tianbaoer and Panpan were so excited that their big eyes could not smile.

They took turns to kiss and kiss Dad.

Tiantian: "The words are exactly the same as the last time!"

Panpan immediately ran to the big wooden box in the grandpa's room to get Chen Yanming's letter.

The two kids wanted to read the letter every now and then. Fang Dihua didn't even lock the big wooden box, because she had saved all the money anyway.

Other valuables were locked in a small wooden box and hidden in the closet.

Lin Shu: "..."

I am the little ugly one. Everyone is convinced that this is Lu Shaotang's handwriting, but she doesn't believe it.

Fang Dihua smiled and said, "It will probably take two months to come back."

The two kids were so excited that they started looking for clothes to dress themselves up and give their dad the best image.

Children have no concept of time. Whether you say two months or a few days later, it's the same to them, it's tomorrow.

Lin Shu: "..." No need to be so grand.

Fang Dihua understood the interests of young couples, so she didn't ask Lin Shu what she talked about and did with San'er when they met. Just read the note.

For her, as long as her son was alive, she didn't care much about the rest.

Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Really, if her parents-in-law asked again, she would have to make up some nonsense to fool them.

It was so embarrassing.

After that, Lin Shu didn't go anywhere, and Mrs. Lu also devoted herself to the autumn harvest.

For the production teams of each brigade, everything had to give way to harvesting and planting crops. So during the period of spring planting, summer harvest, autumn harvest and autumn planting, unless there was a death, no marriage or house building, everything had to wait until the end of the autumn harvest.

The strong laborers were busy working in the fields, and the children followed to pick up the fallen grain. The elderly were watching the field, peeling corn, braiding corn cobs, or drying cotton, drying corn, and threshing corn with a roller. In short, the elderly and children were busy.

As a result, the number of members who came to see Old Man Lu for treatment decreased. Only seriously ill patients who had no choice would continue to ask him for injections. Others who could bear it endured and participated in the labor until the autumn harvest was over.

Old Man Lu concentrated on making ointments for the hospital.

He went to stay with Doctor Yan for a few days to make a batch of Baohe Pills, Sanhuang Paste, Lithospermum Officinale Paste, and Cough Syrup.

The Sanhuang Paste he made was effective, and the raw materials were easy to obtain and the cost was low. The hospital planned to promote it vigorously.

Lin Shu also received two orders of clothes in the past few days, both of which were brought by Zhang Sigu.

Although Lin Shu didn't like Zhao Meifeng, she made clothes for Zhang Sigu with her heart. Not only did they fit well, but they also corrected some of Zhang Sigu's body shortcomings.

She was very considerate of people's eagerness to wear new clothes, and agreed to make them two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then have Zhao Meifeng deliver them.

That morning, Lin Shu made the clothes, trimmed the threads, put the dough-kneading table under the shed, spread the clothes on it, and put a piece of white cloth on it.

While cooking, she heated up the iron to iron the clothes.

While she was busy, Fang Dihua came back with her two children, followed by Lu Shaocai.

The two children filled a broken bottle with half a bottle of bean worms!

Each one was green and fat, and could hardly move. They would turn into pupae when the weather got cold.

No matter how poor the years were, no matter how hungry people were, the worms were always fat and big.

There are many bean worms and locusts in autumn, so Lin Shu is not so afraid of them because she sees them every day.

At this time, Lu Ping and his brother started to catch bean worms because they didn't have cicadas or monkeys to catch. They brought them back and roasted them to make delicious fat.

Children are not afraid of insects. As long as adults don't scare them with insects, they have no concept of fear.

The two children put the bean worms in water to wash them, and saw that Lin Shu was cooking, so they wanted to roast them.

Lin Shu: "Put them aside, I will roast them for you after I finish ironing the clothes."

Tiantian: "Mom, roast them."

Lin Shu told them before that they could string them together and roast them, and the children remembered it.

Panpan went to get the bamboo sticks, which Lin Shu had sharpened herself using the teeth of a broken bamboo rake. She had originally wanted to keep them to make wool for knitting sweaters, but wool was an industrial product and difficult to buy, so she had never been able to buy any.

Panpan strung more than twenty bean worms into several strings with a "squeak".

He and Tiantian, two strings each, sat in front of the stove, helping Lin Shu light the fire and roasting the bean worms.

While Lin Shu was ironing clothes, she had to watch out for the two children so that they would not get burned, and she also paid some attention to what Lu Shaocai and Fang Dihua were saying.

Fang Dihua was picking vegetables there, and Lu Shaocai was chattering non-stop.

Lu Shaocai: "It's been several days, and my uncle hasn't come back yet?"

Could he have been held back by the old lady in the city?

Fang Dihua: "Why are you looking for him?"

Lu Shaocai: "There's nothing to do in the infirmary now, and my uncle can't be idle. I'll arrange something for him to do, so that he won't feel uncomfortable."

Fang Dihua: "Your uncle doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, and there's no need for you to arrange work for him. Just arrange your own work."

Don't ask his uncle to help with the accounting.

Humph, dream on.

Of course, Lu Shaocai's ability is not enough to be an accountant? It's okay to fool around at ordinary times, but he starts to fumble around when it comes to the busy farming season.

The busy farming brigade and production team have a lot of incoming and outgoing accounts, and the total amount of work points every day is large. If you can't finish the calculation in one day, you can't finish it every day, and later many accounts will be messed up.

What's more, he would make mistakes.

In the past, when Laodie Lu was the accountant, he didn't care about anyone else after he calculated. Everyone's work points were what they were, and no matter how they calculated,

they couldn't get it right as he did. When Lu Shaocai became the accountant, the members were worried, and in the first year, they miscalculated the work points for Laodie Lu's family, so Fang Dihua went to find him in person.

Others also found out that they had made mistakes, and every family that had studied for two years and could do addition and subtraction picked up stones and fire sticks to calculate their own work points.

Just because Lu Shaocai was the accountant, the members' accounting skills improved a lot, and those who didn't want their children to go to school sent them to study for at least the third or fourth grade.

After finishing the fourth grade, they can do accounting, and they are just old enough to work in the fields.

Lin Shu also understood what Lu Shaocai meant, so she asked, "Cousin, will you pay us if we ask someone to do the accounting for you?"

Lu Shaocai laughed and said, "We are all family members..."

Lin Shu immediately said coldly, "You are cheating your family members, right? The captain asked my father to do the accounting and he gave us soybeans and work points."

It's okay to give us food instead of money, because food is hard currency.

Lu Shaotang was a little embarrassed, because he couldn't stand this young widow who was so aggressive every day.

He wanted to educate Lin Shu in the manner of an elder, but he didn't dare to do so because Fang Dihua looked unhappy.

If Fang Dihua wasn't around, he would have dared to teach Lin Shu a lesson by virtue of being the eldest uncle.

Let her be a good wife!

Lin Shu: "If you give me a full day's work points and two pounds of beans on another day, I can consider helping you sort out the accounts." She

was not joking with Lu Shaocai. She could calculate Lu Shaocai's accounts for a month in one day.

Of course, there were many people in the team who were better than Lu Shaocai, but it was a pity that there was no such opportunity. After all, it was not the time for the competent to take the position.

Lu Shaocai remembered that during the wheat harvest season, when Lu Laodi helped him. It was almost the same.

He could not finish calculating the work points for a day for several days, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but Lu Laodi could sort it out easily.

He had already told the brigade secretary and the brigade leader that he could not handle it alone and had to find someone to help during the busy farming season. The brigade also agreed.

There was no way he could disagree. If he didn't make the accounts, the brigade couldn't hand over the public grain, couldn't calculate the surplus grain for the production team, couldn't calculate the work points for the team members, and couldn't distribute the autumn grain.

The distribution of food grain was a very critical moment.

Moreover, after the autumn harvest, each family had to clean the pig sty and dig out the manure that had accumulated for half a year or a year and hand it over to the production team as manure, which also counted as work points.

Wouldn't he have to calculate it all?

Fortunately, each production team had its own accountant, and he only had to manage the brigade's total accounts, otherwise he would really be exhausted.

Humph, the accountants in the production team are either the team leader or the secretary or someone’s family connections. They are not as good as him, and they are not very good at accounting, which makes him even more tired.

It really makes him angry!

At least he has a father who is a high-ranking military officer to protect him. What do those accountants in the production team rely on? They can be

accountants without even finishing elementary school?

Are they qualified?

There are students who have finished junior high school, why don’t they be accountants?

Aren’t you holding on to the position and not willing to give it up?

After all, accountants are also cadres and can get salaries.

Lu Shaocai can become an accountant by relying on his connections, but he doesn’t allow others to be accountants. He hates the world every day.

He looked down on Lin Shu and didn't think that she was good at keeping score. He wanted to transfer Lin Shu out and teach her a lesson to vent the resentment he had received from the second wife.

He was really mad at Zhao Meifeng for repairing Lu Shaotang's tomb, buying paper money, and entertaining guests every day.

Every day, he had to listen to Zhao Meifeng trying her best to introduce a date to Lin Shu, but the young widow didn't appreciate it and always asked the second aunt to threaten her.

Damn it!

The young widow deserved to be punished!

He said to Lin Shu, "Since that's the case, after lunch, come to the brigade office and find a few people who want to help. I'll test you."

Fang Dihua looked at him in surprise. Are you testing my third daughter-in-law?

How old are you? Are you qualified?

She was taking classes with Ma Shenxian.

Lin Shu said, "Okay."

Lu Shaocai left proudly, thinking that he must humiliate this young widow in the afternoon to let her know that she must behave herself when she goes out.

Lin Shu ironed the clothes, and Fang Dihua packed up the food.

The two children also roasted the bean worms, one for the nurse, one for the mother, and one for themselves, and then gave the rest to their brothers.

Fang Dihua: "Don't go to the fields, leave some at home for them to eat when they come back."

The fields are now either harvesting beans or sorghum, and the stubble is sharp. Children have delicate skin and can be easily hurt.

Especially the bean stubble, which is particularly sharp.

The two children are very obedient and decided to accompany their mother to the brigade after dinner.

Lin Shu passed the clothes to Zhao Meifeng. She was not afraid that Zhang Meifeng would do something bad, because her craftsmanship was a face-saving project that Zhao Meifeng boasted about outside, hoping to win over Zhang Sigu.

Now Zhao Meifeng also vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she was being ordered around by Lin Shu.

As soon as this thought came up, she immediately suppressed it. How could it be possible?

She wanted to use Lin Shu to find a job for her son!

Lin Shu locked the door and took the two children to the brigade accounting office.

Lu Shaocai was scolding the accountant of the Lujiazhuang production team.

Lu Shaocai spitted, "How did you calculate it? You can't figure out such a number? How are you an accountant?"

He completely forgot that he couldn't figure it out and had to clean up his mess with his father Lu.

The accountant of the Lujiazhuang production team is called Lu Changgong. He is in his early thirties and younger than Lin Shu. He has to call her Auntie.

Seeing Lin Shu coming, Lu Changgong felt embarrassed and hid in a corner.

Lu Shaocai didn't care and scolded him even more.

Lin Shu interrupted him: "Didn't you say you came to take the test? Why don't you meet the branch secretary and the team leader?"

Lu Shaocai said unhappily: "I'll just test you."

He threw Lu Changgong's uncalculated account book to her, "You calculate this."

Lin Shu raised her eyebrows. Let me calculate your account for free?

Do you think you are a free trial period for those black-hearted profiteers?

At this time, Song Chunfang, Sun Guafu and three other men came over.

They all wanted to apply for the position of accounting assistant. Helping with the accounting during the busy farming season not only earned work points, but also some food subsidies.

Widow Sun half-hid her face and secretly gave Lu Shaocai a wink, thinking that no one knew.

Lu Shaocai almost fainted, staggered, and quickly held on to the back of the chair.

He turned to a page of accounts, "Whoever calculates faster and gets it right will be used."

Song Chunfang snatched the abacus away. Although she had forgotten how to use it, she didn't want to give it to Lin Shu.

Widow Sun didn't know how to calculate at all. She smiled at Lu Shaocai and silently asked him what the answer was and asked him to write it down.

Lu Shaocai enjoyed it very much, but he pretended not to be tempted by women. He coughed and said, "Calculate carefully."

He was swollen.

He saw Lin Shu standing there motionless and snorted. You little widow, do you think I will give you a chance just because you are pretty?

Humph, can you stand a little straighter? Like a stick!

If you are willing to flatter me, I may be willing to give you a chance and teach you.

The five people were arguing and discussing, and they were clacking on the abacus, but they still couldn't get it right.

Lin Shu took the account book while they were not paying attention, calculated with a pencil, and wrote the answer at the end.

Lu Shaocai took a look and said, "What are you doing... Is this the answer? Did you calculate it?"

Lin Shu: "Did I guess it?"

The team leader and the old branch secretary were watching outside. Seeing Lu Shaocai's behavior, they really wanted to kick him out.

The team leader said with a stern face, "Go and kick that widow out."

He looked so frivolous and flirted with Lu Shaocai with his eyes several times.

If the widow Sun was allowed to stay, Lu Shaocai would not be able to work with peace of mind.

The team leader just laughed.

Lu Shaocai is a fool. He can't do the accounting himself and needs to find someone to help. Why does he want to choose someone who can't do the accounting and can only lick him?

Lu Shaocai was so absurd that he would definitely leave his widow behind and cause some scandals in the future, which would directly annoy the members. Wouldn't it be better if the commune ordered him to be removed directly?

The old branch secretary snorted unhappily, "Don't mess around."

He walked in with his hands behind his back, while Lu Shaocai was still there, spitting and testing this and that.

The old branch secretary looked through everyone's answers and said directly: "Shaotang's wife will stay and help for a few days."

Song Chunfang: "Why? I have calculated it too."

The old branch secretary: "You are panting and groaning, are you sure you fainted from exhaustion?"

Song Chunfang's face flushed.

Although the other men were not convinced, they had nothing to say because Lin Shu was better at accounting than them. At most, they could continue to work in the fields.

The old branch secretary asked Lin Shu a few more questions and asked her to calculate on the spot. She calculated quickly and correctly, and she made Lu Shaocai look like a piece of trash.

The old branch secretary decided on the spot to let Lin Shu help.

He thought that if he could take Lu Shaocai away, it would be good to let Shaotang's wife be the accountant.

The old branch secretary was a man of experience and vision.

He noticed something was wrong with the Lu family. When they first heard about Lu Shaotang's death, the old couple collapsed visibly.

Although they were holding on, Fang Dihua's eyes were swollen and old man Lu's shoulders were slumped.

They looked like they were holding on despite the grief.

But one day... it should be the day when old man Lu agreed to repair the tomb, he found that the old couple's spirits were different. They had changed.

From then on, the old couple talked with a smile on their faces. Although they restrained themselves from talking and laughing loudly, there was laughter in their eyes. This could not be faked.

The old branch secretary felt that there was an 80% chance that Lu Shaotang's situation would turn around, and maybe... it would be fine.

Since Lu Shaotang is fine, it would be perfect to let his wife be the accountant.

Seeing the old branch secretary speak, Lu Shaocai was so frustrated that his face turned blue, and he slammed the account book on the table, "You do the calculation."

Lin Shu said to the old branch secretary: "Uncle Secretary, it is best to clearly separate the accounts I calculate from those of Accountant Lu, so that if there is a problem

, it will be difficult to define who is responsible." Lu Shaocai: "Whose responsibility? Anyway, it is not my responsibility. Whether you can do it or not is still a matter of debate."

The old branch secretary really assigned the task.

He gave Lin Shu the most urgent and important accounts at the moment, such as public rations, work points and food rations.

Lu Shaocai's first thought was to steal the wedding gift, which was the most troublesome and difficult to calculate, and if there was any mistake, he would be scolded by the branch secretary, the team leader and the members.

Hehe, there is a little widow who has to bear it!

Lin Shu is not afraid of difficulties or heavy tasks, but she is afraid that the responsibilities are not clear and she will be blamed by others.

If the tasks are divided well, there will be no problem.

The old branch secretary also talked about the treatment, just like Lu Shaocai, full work points plus a daily subsidy of 30 cents.

Lin Shu discussed with the old branch secretary whether she didn't want the money, but could she exchange the money for food.

The money was given to supplement the lack of cash at home. Since she wanted food, the branch secretary would naturally be more willing.

The old branch secretary decided to exchange 30 cents for two kilograms of soybeans or one kilogram of seed cotton.

Lin Shu was of course happy to do so. Soybeans can be ground into tofu, bean sprouts, and soybean paste, and cotton is also very useful.

When the old branch secretary left, widow Sun couldn't help but say to Lin Shu sarcastically, "The thousands of yuan in pensions are not enough to spend, and you still come to snatch these three melons and two dates from us."

We are all widows, why does Lin Shu live so comfortably?

Lin Shu said indifferently, "I am doing it for the three melons and two dates? I am doing it for everyone to get food as soon as possible."

Count on Lu Shaocai, a piece of shit, when will he settle the accounts and get food?
