As soon as the village bell rang, Father Chen couldn't wait to pick up his hoe and hurried away.
"Old Chen, wait, let's go together, what's the rush?"
Mother Chen looked over and waited there until a few people had amused themselves before following them.
"By the way, why didn't your wife come today?" Carpenter Li asked casually. These were the people who usually went to work together, and the others also went together in groups of several people.
However, there are quite a few people in the village who are almost sixty years old like them. Except for Chen's father who now has 8 points, the others have full points and they all looked the same before.
Now, several people looked at Chen's father. His back was obviously hunched, but his waist was straight now. He was in high spirits and his complexion was rosier than before. What was even more ridiculous was that he actually looked fat before.
Father Chen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and several people immediately became energetic and came over.
"Old Chen, I still have to thank you!" Zhao Dazhu licked his face and laughed.
Father Chen was not stingy and gave one to each person. Then several people took a puff with satisfaction.
"This thing is really good!"
"Well, don't you see that this thing requires a ticket, and a pack costs at least 50 cents?" Carpenter Li said and looked at Chen's father.
"Yes, Jianguo's wife specially exchanged the tickets!" Father Chen did not hide it.
"Old Chen, I didn't expect you guys to get lucky. Who would have thought that the daughter-in-law I least thought of back then would be living such a great life now!" Zhao Dazhu took a deep puff of his cigarette and said something cruel and mean.
Other people passing by were also envious, and the young people were also envious.
Seeing Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun from a distance, they didn't react much, mainly because they didn't smoke.
But seeing that their parents were doing well, they also started to be happy.
Xia Lai Di and Liu Chun Xia didn't say anything. Could it be that their two families gave nothing to Chen's parents? That would only make them despised.
"By the way, Old Chen, why didn't your wife come?" Carpenter Li thought of something curious.
Chen's father said, "Jianguo's wife is going to the county town today, and she needs someone at home!"
Several people were stunned, then said angrily, "No wonder, Zhong Ling knocked and you rushed out directly. Are you in a hurry to go home?"
"It must be that Miss Su bought meat again!" Carpenter Li said with certainty.
Father Chen did not refute. He was anxious to go home for dinner, and he was also worried about his second baby, who had been listless and listless these past few days, and it really pained him to see him.
When the villagers returned home, everyone knew that Su Xia's family had eaten meat again.
The captain's family, Zhao Erlin's wife, once complained, this time in front of her sister-in-law.
"Ren Su girl eats meat again. This is a good marriage. It's good. Whenever you want to eat meat, you can eat it anytime!"
Ignoring the sullen look on the face of her mother-in-law, she continued, "Unlike some people, you will eat for free?"
Snap－－－
"Who are you talking about?" Zhao Yulin put down the things in his hand, looked at his second sister-in-law, and stood up, not wanting to endure it at all.
"Oh, there are people trying to get closer." Bai Lanhua twisted her body and glanced at the girl.
If a good man comes in after a day's work and has to cook, and sees a grown-up girl staying at home, who wouldn't be angry?
"Okay, Bai Lanhua, shut up!" Zhao Erlin saw that his sister's eyes were red with anger, and scolded her angrily.
"Hmph, I'm going to go cook. Otherwise, I'll be starving after a day's work!"
Mrs. Zhao was busy in the kitchen early in the morning. Seeing the girl who was silent, she didn't say anything.
The only people left in the yard were the embarrassed Zhao Erlin, the angry Zhao Yulin with red eyes, and the captain's wife who was not sure what to think.
Zhao Erlin looked at his sister and tried to persuade her, "Your second sister-in-law is not very careful with her words. Don't bother with her!"
After saying that, he said he was going to wash up and leave quickly.
Zhao Yulin then burst into tears and complained to his mother, "Mom, why don't you help me? What my second sister-in-law said was so unpleasant."
Li Xiulian then looked at her daughter and sighed, "You're on vacation now, why don't you cook for the family?"
Zhao Yulin was stunned, then took a step back, looked away, and muttered softly, "It's not like I can do it. Besides, I've already cleaned up the house at home!"
"Sweeping the floor, cleaning up. My family works outside in the hot sun all day, and when we get home we need your two sisters-in-law to cook for us. And you just lie on the kang at home and don't even cook. How can I help you?"
Li Xiulian really didn't know how to treat her daughter. Su Xia didn't go to school, but when she was in the Su family, she did everything, such as cooking, cleaning the house, and taking care of the children. But this girl in her family was just like a landlord's daughter.
Zhao Yulin was not happy about what he said and shouted angrily, "I can't do it. Besides, I can make money, not eat for free!"
With a bang, he closed the door and hid in the room.
Li Xiu Lian sighed again, dragged her tired body, and began to take care of the chickens, pigs, and yard at home.
I really want to marry my daughter off before the end of the year, otherwise, when she grows up, it will be too late.
After Father Chen returned, he looked at Erbao first. Erbao also knew Grandpa, and he babbled to Father Chen and waved his hands and shouted.
Father Chen finally relaxed and said, "It's still a big place in the county. Are you done with the acupuncture?"
Chen's mother said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that I still have to go for two days of injection?"
Father Chen was stunned, then looked at Su Xia, and Su Xia also explained.
Father Chen immediately frowned and said, "How about I go? You must be tired from running around all day."
When Su Xia heard that Father Chen loved her, she was immediately happy. "Dad, today we have cold-mixed pork liver and stir-fried lungs. Would you like to drink some?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen smiled embarrassedly. Niu Niu went straight to the living room and brought the wine to Mr. Chen.
Dabao shook the cup in his hand and said, "Grandpa, hurry up, let's clink glasses!"
Chen's father and mother burst into laughter. Su Xia watched them eat, fed Erbao half a bowl of egg custard, then put him in the stroller and stuffed a bamboo helicopter in his hand. This time he was well behaved.
Su Xia made another dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. There was no other way, as there were too many eggs and tomatoes at home.
"Old man, when are we going to sell vegetables again?" Mother Chen ate a tomato and thought of the eggs and vegetables at home.
Then he said, "If we put the eggs in there any longer, they will go bad, what a shame!"
"Mom, are we going too?" Dabao waved his wife and greeted her hurriedly, and Niuniu was also looking forward to it.
Su Xia looked at the old ones, and the young ones all looked at her, and said, "Niuniu will go before school starts."
Everyone was happy and continued to eat. Su Xia remembered that Niuniu should be in the fourth grade, and she felt that time passed quickly.
"By the way, Mom, don't Erya and Sanya have to go to the county town to study?"
Mother Chen swallowed her food and nodded. "Well, the eldest has been gone for a year, and this year the second and third have been gone. Hey, the burden on the second and third children has also increased!"
Su Xia thought about it, she went to junior high school in the county town and came back once a week, bringing 30 kilograms of food a month, plus 2 yuan for tuition for half a year, and 3 yuan for accommodation. She also had to bring some firewood every day as heating fee.
That doesn't even include the cost of textbooks. With four kids at home, it's a lot of money.
"Don't worry, just wait until graduation!" Father Chen comforted.
"Tsk, do you think it's so easy to find?" Chen's mother said unhappily.
When Su Xia heard this, she knew very well that there were not many job opportunities in the county town. However, many people were moving to the countryside now, and they all belonged to the countryside, so they had no chance to compete.
"Mom and Dad, it's time to graduate!"
"I hope so!" Chen's mother is still confused about whether it is good for her to go to school.
Niuniu, who was standing by, listened to the whole process and made up her mind to study harder.
In fact, Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun from the old house had no concerns.
Anyway, I just had one thought: if I miss you, I'll keep reading. Even if there's something wrong, I'll say it in advance: "If you guys want to go out and play, then come down and earn some points!"
Daya and the others certainly worked hard, because they didn't want to lose the opportunity to study that they had worked so hard to get.
Back in the room at night, Daya encouraged Erya and Sanya, "The county town is not that scary. Let's save some money and start taking good care of the vegetables in the garden tomorrow. When our aunt goes, we can sell them and it will be enough to pay for our tuition."
When the two girls heard this, they excitedly agreed. In fact, life for the two families was not difficult. When Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun separated their family property, the money they received had not decreased, but increased, so they were not worried at all.
