Su Xia wanted to take Erbao back the next day after the autumn harvest. The kid had already been delayed for 20 days, and if he went back again, it would take another month.
But Chen's mother's words made her stay for another day, "Will you come back when the food is distributed?"
Su Xia choked and forgot about it. She then decided to stay for two more days. The one who was most happy about this decision was Erbao.
The little boy, with a dark face, smiled brightly, "Yeah... I can stay for two more days!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes, and Chen's mother was happy too.
The next day, Su Xia was glad that she didn't go back, it was still pretty good.
Chen's mother came back excitedly and said, "Old man, did you know that Teacher Zhao is pregnant?"
Su Xia was stunned, then she realized who it was, the captain's daughter, so being pregnant was normal, right?
Mother Chen was discouraged, and then continued, "I haven't finished yet!"
Su Xia looked over curiously, "Mom, what the hell are you talking about?"
Chen's mother came over and said excitedly, "Teacher Zhao was kicked out by the team leader!"
.....
Su Xia.....
After a long time, Su Xia asked, "Mom, what did you just say?"
Chen's mother repeated, "We were kicked out by the captain and his wife!"
Su Xia scratched her ears to make sure she heard correctly, "Why?"
Chen's mother sat down and told Su Xia what happened in the captain's home. Su Xia listened for a long time.
Suddenly realizing it, he asked in surprise, "After Teacher Zhao got married, has he always lived with the captain and his wife?"
Chen's mother nodded. "Indeed, at that time, everything was done at the captain's house, and we thought they were live-in sons-in-law. But later we saw that one of them continued to be a teacher, the other still worked, and they were divided among the other educated youth, so we didn't pay much attention to it."
After Su Xia heard this, she knew that Gu Zhiqing must be targeting the captain.
"Mom, why are you moving out now?"
Mother Chen rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and said disdainfully, "Teacher Zhao has been doing this since she came here. Later, under the threat of Li Xiulian, she slowly started to do some housework. But after getting married, she lives with her husband in her parents' home. She should be more considerate."
"They ate at the captain's expense, acting like landlords and their mistresses. Li Xiulian, feeling sorry for her daughter, didn't say anything. But ever since she got pregnant, Teacher Zhao has gone even further, saying whatever she wants. She even has her own mother wash her men's clothes, eats ready-made meals every day, and still cries out for good food like meat and eggs."
"Finally, she even wanted to give her teaching job to a man and keep herself at home."
Su Xia stopped what she was doing and listened to Chen's mother's story. After listening, she wanted to say, "Fuck..."
This daughter is really her biological daughter. She is exactly the same as the later generation of people who rely on their parents for support, but that is a person who relies on his parents for support.
After marriage, they rely on the elderly on both sides, but that is when both parents have pensions and are not short of houses and cars. Also, the other party has a job and is post-wage. The housing prices, commodity prices and living costs are particularly high, and most young people have to bear the cost, so the saying of "relying on parents" comes into being.
This was an era where people had to rely on their husbands and children to support their parents, or they had to rely on work points to starve to death. If they had one child, the whole family would be supported by the team leader and his wife. Think about it, how could the work points of two elderly people in their 50s be enough to feed a family of five?
Su Xia looked at Chen's mother's angry expression and went over to her. "Mom, can you help me with Gu Zhiqing's family?"
Mother Chen glanced at Su Xia and shook her head. "I know clearly what the situation is. I really know it. Gu Zhiqing said that when the house is built, Teacher Zhao will move out."
Su Xia was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Does that mean Gu Zhiqing is rich? Then why did he move out in the first place?"
Mother Chen curled her lips. "What else could it be? There's a free place to stay, who would be willing to spend their own money?"
Su Xia could still understand the thinking of modern people. It would be great to live on your own. Why live with the older generation?
"Then Captain, do you agree?"
"Why would they agree? They're both already desperate for Teacher Zhao, how could they be more desperate? They're virgins before marriage, and they don't have a betrothal gift. They're just marrying someone directly, and they still want to eat their cake and flatter them?"
Su Xia...
I understand now. The captain and his wife want to work themselves to death.
"Mom, who will be the teacher in the end?"
After hearing this, Chen's mother continued, "It was Teacher Zhao. The team leader said it was Teacher Zhao who wanted to give the job to Gu Zhiqing. He would directly find a junior high school student from the village."
After hearing this, Su Xia couldn't help but admire the captain, but it was a pity for Chen's mother.
"Hey, how good is Mr. Zhao's persistence?"
Su Xia looked over and asked, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Mother Chen said, "This is just right for Daya to be a teacher!"
Hearing this, Su Xia looked at Chen's mother unhappily and said, "Mom, please calm down. After Daya graduates, she will be a high school student. If she becomes a teacher, she will die in the county town. Why do you want to go back to the village?"
Chen's mother heard the old lady's tone and trembled, "Am I afraid of the difficulty of finding a job?"
Su Xia waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, a high school student can still find a job!"
Mother Chen knew what to ask, and after hearing Su Xia's words, the stone in her heart seemed to fall.
The captain's house on this side was dead silent. The two brothers and two sisters-in-law of the Zhao family stood aside, looking at the captain smoking and their mother lying on the kang with a weak look on her face.
Zhao Ersao couldn't help but said angrily, "I told you that those educated youth had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but my sister-in-law just didn't listen."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao blocked her mouth in hatred for her second brother's wife, saying that these words were just adding fuel to the fire.
The brothers Zhao Dalin and Zhao Erlin expressed their approval of Zhao Ersao for the first time.
Zhao Dalin looked at his father and said, "Dad, it's good for my little sister and her family to move out. It's just right for the young couple to live on their own."
Zhao Erlin added, "Yeah, besides, we're from the same village, and we're all right next to each other. I don't think he'd dare bully my little sister."
Li Xiulian's eyes were hollow, and no one knew what she was thinking. Captain Zhao's face was also unclear, as it was all smoke.
The two brothers looked at each other, then looked at their wives, and they knew what their mother meant.
After a long while, the captain put down his pipe, knocked it on the ground, and said, "The first and second wives should go out first. The children at home are still young."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she thought it was a way to get rid of them, so she pulled Mrs. Zhao out willingly.
"Sister-in-law, why do you think they sent us away?" Zhao Ersou said impatiently after going out.
Mrs. Zhao looked behind her and pulled the people away. "If Daddy let us know, he would die for our own good."
Zhao Ersao curled her lips. She knew her father-in-law's temper, so she didn't dare to provoke him again.
The Zhao brothers in the room looked at each other, feeling that what their father was going to say next would have a huge impact on the family.
Captain Zhao looked into the smoke for a long time before saying, "This time, the rations will be delivered. Big brother, follow me. Second brother, follow your accountant uncle."
Zhao Dalin and Zhao Erlin were stunned for a moment, and finally asked carefully, "Dad, what do you mean?"
Captain Zhao continued, "This time when we go to the county, I'll tell the higher-ups I'll leave it to you. I'll tell the village when we distribute the grain!"
These words were like a huge rock hitting the roof. The two brothers looked at each other in surprise, and finally looked at their mother at the same time.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, why don't you want to be the captain when you are so old?" Zhao Erlin also said.
"Yes, Dad, what's wrong with you? Tell us what's going on. We are here for you." Zhao Dalin.
Captain Zhao tapped his pipe and said, "I've made my decision. As for why, you all should remember, this is for the good of our family!"
Zhao Dalin, Zhao Erlin....
