Even when Chen Jianguo came back, Chen's mother would work half the day, earning enough for four days, and then pick a lot of pig food, carrying a full basket on her back, and walk home excitedly.
She was now very proud of herself. Before, she had three sons. When she had no sons, the villagers said that her family would be extinct, and the old couple was so worried that they couldn't eat or sleep.
Although the eldest brother had a respectable job at that time, he often did not come home. Even Niuniu did not come home within three days after her visit.
In addition, the old man didn't earn any money, so he just stayed at home with Niuniu every day.
In fact, if she hadn't caught up with the three famines, she wouldn't have hated the old lady so much.
But starting from that summer, the eldest head of the family suddenly came to his senses and insisted on building a house and moving out. Although he was not happy about it, his son sent a telegram saying that he wanted to build a house.
Well, ever since the house was built, Chen's mother found that Su Xia started to become diligent, planting the yard and digging a well. Although their old house strongly opposed it, Su Xia was rich, so he still dug a well.
Mother Chen sighed, and then she had to admire the old man's luck. The well water had never dried up, and it had become the life-saving water for the entire village and several neighboring villages.
Work, food, and money, those two were almost catching up with the money they had saved in their old house.
Then they fed the pigs and chickens, and sold eggs and pigs, which shocked her and her husband. They were terrified, but also surprised. They didn't expect that the old man would keep silent, but when he did, it shocked the whole village.
The most important thing is Dabao, so she and her husband don’t have to worry about the Chen family being extinct.
A few days later, the eldest and third sons had sons, and the baby was just born. The most important thing was that they lived together in a loving way. The eldest and third sons had some small thoughts, but the two sons were in charge of the family and knew their limits, so there was naturally no need to worry.
The one who lived the best was the old family, who had a house in the county town, a son and a daughter. Mother Chen was completely relieved and didn't care whether they lived or not in the future.
Moreover, although the people in the old family spoke bluntly, they were generous and always treated her and her husband equally, with good food and clothes.
Now the eldest brother is back, and his new job is the first in the village. Not only does it bring honor to the Chen family, but the most important thing is that the family is reunited.
This time, Mother Chen didn't feel any pain in her waist or legs, and she felt lighter than before.
She walked to the center of the village with her head held high. When she reached the school, she took a look inside. She would be even happier if she saw her granddaughter. Her daughter Niuniu was famous for her good grades. After skipping a grade, she ranked first again, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
However, at this time, everyone was at work, so naturally there was no woman to be seen. He was not disappointed and continued walking forward. Then he ran into Captain Zhao who had just come out of the Youth League Institute.
"Eh? Captain, you're not going to work, why are you slacking off here?"
Captain Zhao was stunned, then realized it was Chen's mother. He said angrily, "Why are you being lazy? The Youth House doesn't have a pot, so I came to deliver one. This is business, okay?"
The five educated youths behind her came out, and Wei Qiaolan took the initiative to greet them.
"Auntie, I'm Wei Qiaolan, from Lin City."
Others followed suit and said hello. Since they were staying in the village for a long time, they had to take the initiative.
"Auntie, I'm Zhou Jingyun, from Lin City."
"Auntie, I'm Cao Zhen, from Jing City."
"Auntie, I'm Zhao Song, from Jing City."
The last one, Song Wenyu, followed closely, "Auntie, I'm Song Wenyu, from Jing City."
Captain Zhao nodded with satisfaction. At least a few people took the initiative to integrate into the work, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Mother Chen was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly formally introduced by several young people.
Then he nodded shyly, and then said enthusiastically, "Just take care of me, Aunt Chen. I live at the easternmost end of the city."
After Chen's mother finished the introduction, she saw a few young people looking surprised and a little confused, but since she was not familiar with them, she did not ask.
Just as I was about to go home, I was startled by a scream.
"Auntie, who is Su Xia to you?"
Mother Chen looked over and found that it was the fattest girl among them who asked the question, with her big eyes full of curiosity.
Mother Chen didn't think much about it and didn't notice the other girl's eyes, which were both expectant and calculating.
"That's my eldest daughter-in-law, how come you know her?"
Not to mention Wei Qiaolan, even Zhou Jingyun and the others didn't expect to run into Chen's mother when they went out. In fact, they had been chatting and waiting for the iron pot this afternoon, from when Carpenter Li delivered the furniture to the village office and the captain's house.
Among the few people, Wei Qiaolan was the most shameless and followed her aunt, that aunt, sister, aunt and aunt. In the afternoon, she met many more relatives.
Naturally, I knew about the village, the health department, the treatment of even simple colds and minor illnesses, whose family was a carpenter, whose family had more vegetables, whose family had more grain, whose family was still married, whose children were teachers, whose children were studying...
The most talked about family is the Chen family, and how Su Xia raised three children alone, while her husband was often away from home and never went to work.
But raising pigs and chickens, she earns a lot more than her husband, and more importantly, the richest family in the village is Su Xia.
Bicycles, watches, sewing machines, a big house, a big yard, fine grains at home, meat to eat, and the best clothes...
The five educated youths didn't believe it at first, but after hearing it many times, they knew it must be true.
Then there was the shock, Wei Qiaolan, who came from a relatively well-off family. She lamented, "Although my family has a watch sewing machine, we don't eat fine grains, let alone meat. Even if we eat 2 kilograms a month, it's good!"
Zhou Jingyun and the others' mouths twitched. They were from ordinary families with both working parents, so they naturally wouldn't starve. But if they had to eat fine grains and meat.
Shake your head, it’s not that you don’t want to eat, it’s that there is nothing at all, okay?
Mother Chen kept staring at them. Wei Qiaolan quickly shook her head, "I don't know them. I just heard from others that Sister Su Xia has a lot of chickens at home, and she wants to exchange them for some eggs!"
The captain standing by was speechless. They couldn’t even cook, and they wanted to eat good food?
However, he felt guilty because several educated youth were going to the county town the next day and did not have many tickets. He blurted out that Su Yatou had some and could exchange them.
Captain Zhao was a little afraid to look at Chen's mother. Chen's mother didn't notice it, but she got excited when she heard about changing eggs.
"Okay, if you want to eat, you can come to my house and find me."
Then he wanted to leave, but looking at the others and the captain, he did not move.
Curiously, he said, "Captain Zhao, what are you doing? I want to go home!"
Captain Zhao followed suit and made way, but his steps seemed to be in the same direction.
"I'm going to look for Su Yatou, so we can go together."
Mother Chen looked at him in surprise when she heard this, then walked ahead. She knew that it would take more than once or twice for her eldest daughter-in-law to die.
But he still said with disdain, "I don't know how you can be a captain. You don't even know as much as my old man."
Captain Zhao was immediately choked and his face flushed red. He really didn't give any face to the educated youth at all.
Mother Chen ignored him, and then noticed the several educated youth following behind her.
"Where are they going?" he asked the captain.
Captain Zhao immediately didn't dare to look at Chen's mother, "They heard that Su Yatou has a lot of tickets, so they want to exchange some."
Chen's mother immediately glared at the captain and said unhappily, "You must be the one who said too much!"
Captain Zhao touched his nose awkwardly, and followed the few people behind him without leaving.
"Well, is it okay for us to come here like this?" Zhao Song asked casually, but the five people were a little far away, so Chen's mother and the captain naturally couldn't hear them.
Zhou Jingyun and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that it was indeed impolite to visit without saying hello.
"Zhou Bozhi, should we go back?" Wei Qiaolan backed out.
Several people stood there, Song Wen bit her lip, she really didn't want to be with four idiots.
But seeing the captain walking away, he reminded them, "We are following the captain. Besides, we are exchanging, so we are not asking for it for nothing."
Zhou Jingyun looked over and then took the initiative to walk forward. "Let's go and take a look first. We may not have tickets yet. Besides, the captain still owes us an iron pot."
In this way, five people successfully followed the captain, and the first one to come went to the famous Su Xia's house in the village.
Su Xia acted like a master at home, directing the men to work, completely unaware of the trouble the captain had caused.
