On the day of distributing grain, Su Xia came early to get several sacks. As for Dabao, she tied him with a strap and carried him to the old house on her back.
Niuniu went to the old house early to wait.
When Su Xia arrived, Chen's mother was already waiting with a group of granddaughters.
"The elders are here, so let's go quickly, your fathers should be in line."
Su Xia...
"Mom, even if I go, I have to wait until all the food in the village is distributed before I can go to the captain to buy food!"
Mother Chen then remembered that Su Xia had to wait until they had divided their share before buying the rest.
"Then do you want to go later?"
Su Xia....
If you want to go later, she can come now!
"Mom, let's go now, just take a walk. Dabao has grown up so big and has never been to the village for a stroll!"
Mother Chen saw Su Xia's back and looked around at her grandson curiously, "Dabao, do you want to go out and play?"
Dabao heard the words "play" and pointed his little finger in the direction of the door: "Grandma, go-"
Mother Chen saw that her grandson was going to leave, so she didn't consider anything.
"Hey, grandma, let's go...
Let’s go for a walk around here!”
Mother Chen took Dabao and carried him on her back, not caring about Su Xia behind her, and walked away.
Su Xia had no choice but to follow behind with her sack.
After walking for six or seven minutes, when we arrived at the village granary, many people had already left.
Villager: "Auntie Chen, are you carrying your son Jianguo on your back?"
Chen's mother smiled and boasted: "Yes...
This is my eldest grandson, he can already speak!"
Dabao was also shy, but he looked at the group of people curiously and began to grin.
Hearing what Chen's mother said, she kept responding: "Grandma... look-"
Others were also happy, "This child is so well raised! So fat!"
Yes, we have never seen such a fat and fair child in our village! "
They looked at Su Xia again: "Jianguo's wife, tell me how to raise a child?
Yes, my wife is about to give birth, and I want her to be as fat as this too."
"Yes, Jianguo's wife, can you tell me?"
Su Xia looked at everyone in confusion. What should I say? Even if I say it, can they do it?
Seeing Su Xia's difficulties, Chen's mother called everyone over and said, "What are you talking about? My son sends milk powder every month. Do you have any?"
Everyone was silent after hearing this.
Villager: "Your family is really good at this. My family still raises children as before.
Yes, my family too.
.....”
Everyone turned their heads, because grain distribution had already begun in front, and they saw the secretary holding a list and calling the heads of households one by one.
When he was called, he hurried forward and checked his work points on the list. After confirming that there was no problem, the team leader and accountant next to him organized and started to distribute and pack the grain.
Su Xia saw that the team would take some time, so she didn't want to stand there any longer. She said hello to Chen's mother and went to sit under the shade of a tree nearby.
"Mom, I'm going over there. You go see the dads first. Come back after they're done. Help me get back home!"
Mother Chen nodded, and did not return Dabao to Su Xia. She carried Dabao to Chen's side.
Su Xia looked at the children in the village running around in front of her, including Niuniu, who was running and sweating profusely.
Su Xia didn't shout either, and Dabao was even more worried.
Mother Chen was holding Dabao, and when she saw someone wanting to see her grandson, she stood up and stared at him. She was happy when she heard someone praising her.
There are also some who are jealous of the young wife and keep asking how to raise a baby and want to learn it.
Hearing that they feed too much milk powder, many people give up.
Some people even asked, "Auntie Chen, did you ask your eldest son to help buy a bag of milk powder?"
Mother Chen looked at the shameless people and said, "Why, are your men dead or disabled? Why are you looking for other men to buy things?
Do you have money? Do you know how much a bag of rice milk powder costs? That's 10 yuan. Do you have money? "
Mother Chen shouted to the grain distribution team, "Wang Ergou, Zhao Tiezhu, Zhao Shuangxi... Your wives like our eldest brother, is that right? Is that right?"
"Ha ha......"
All the villagers started laughing, except a few who wanted milk powder to marry.
And there is Dabao, who is concentrating on looking at a bunch of big mouths. Why are their mouths so wide open?
Su Xia, who was sitting under the shade of the tree, was also confused as she looked at the situation. She asked, "You just brought Dabao here for a stroll, how did you become the focus?"
As for the men, their faces turned red and they looked around in shame.
The children in the village even shouted "OK!"
Among them, Niuniu and Daya shouted the loudest, "Who are bullying grandma and Dabao brother?"
"Okay, don't laugh. What's so funny? You guys really want to share the food!"
Everyone heard the captain's roar and had to keep quiet. Distributing the food was still the most important thing.
Mother Chen looked at the few people with disdain. With such weight, they dared to act high and mighty in front of her. What were they thinking?
"snort--"
Mother Chen turned around and went to look for her husband. She still had to look after the food at home. The two daughters-in-law were good-for-nothings and couldn't even take care of her own things.
The remaining few people just lowered their heads. They really didn't expect that Chen's mother didn't give them any face and just made fun of them directly.
Several girls felt a little regretful when they thought of their own men's anger. Why were they jealous of Su Xia?
Su Xia still sat quietly. She really liked the way the villagers and the women got along with each other.
So she usually comes and knows how to get along with others. After all, she has the experience of the future. Like them, they gossip about the east and west every day, or they are jealous and talk behind their backs...
If she had that much time, she would have stayed at home to take care of her children, or found ways to make more money. She also wanted to buy a house and open a supermarket in the capital when the reform and opening-up policy came.
But she is the landlady, and it makes me happy to think about it----
"Mom, what are you doing? Hurry up, let's finish everything. Grandma, are you going to buy food?"
Niu Niu kept calling for her mother in front of her, but no one responded and she couldn't run over.
It was just that Su Xia was dreaming about being a landlady and didn't notice Niu Niu coming over.
After realizing it, Su Xia felt a little embarrassed. How could she start dreaming in broad daylight?
Seeing that everyone started to carry food home one after another, she also hurriedly walked to the front with Niuniu to find the team leader.
"Captain, can we buy food now?"
Captain Zhao, the secretary and the accountant, and several other people are waiting for Su Xia. The village also has money to buy food, but it's not much, only a few yuan, because the money is not much, so the more money you get, the more money you have, but you still have to buy more food.
We like Su Xia the most now, because Su Xia's food is an important source of income for the village.
"Uh-huh...
The village has already distributed the money, how much do you plan to buy?"
Su Xia smiled slightly and asked, "Are you going to buy all of them?"
This statement shocked everyone around him, and no one knew what to say.
Su Xia quickly changed her words: "Captain, I'm just kidding, don't mind!"
She looked at them a little embarrassedly, just to tease them.
Chen: "Okay, old man, stop teasing your captain uncle, and buy it quickly!"
Su Xia nodded obediently. She also secretly glanced at the food in the old house. There were a few more bags next to it. It seemed that Chen's mother bought some for her.
This way Su Xia can rest assured.
She glanced at the grain depot behind her and said directly, "Accountant, I need 500 kilograms of corn, 300 kilograms of potatoes, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 50 kilograms of soybeans, 20 kilograms of mung beans, 20 kilograms of red beans, 300 kilograms of cabbage, and 200 kilograms of radishes..."
Su Xia had just finished speaking, and before she had walked far, the villagers stopped working and looked at her.
You bought so much, are you going to finish it?
Su Xia: "Captain, do you think you can buy it? I can buy a little less."
Chen Xiao and his mother began to worry. They both knew what their eldest daughter-in-law was doing. They even helped buy things just now. It seemed that their in-laws would also buy more.
Why...
Captain Zhao did not expect Jianguo's wife to be so generous, so he had to consult with the secretary and accountant before making a decision.
Su Xia had no choice but to wait.
