On the day when grain was delivered to the village, only Chen Jianjun went to the old house, and no one else went.
Su Xia didn't go out either, so naturally she didn't know what the captain would do next.
However, after Chen Jiandang, Chen's father, was called away, Su Xia heard Chen's mother say, "The captain is looking for someone to repair the cowshed."
Chen's mother muttered softly, and Su Xia smiled helplessly, "Mom, you can speak louder. The villagers will know soon anyway."
Mother Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I actually forgot about it!"
When Su Xia prepared lunch at noon, there was no meat left at home, but Su Xia had asked Chen's mother to go to the village to buy a chicken and prepare soup for the family to nourish their bodies.
Holding the 5 yuan given by Su Xia, Chen's mother walked happily towards the chicken farm in the village.
People passing by would curiously ask, "Mrs. Chen, what are you doing here?"
Chen's mother would loudly say, "Jianguo's wife asked you to buy a chicken, saying it would be a tonic for us!"
The person asking the question wants to slap himself and tell you to talk too much.
Chen's mother was still showing off at this time. Walking past her was like killing someone.
When I met other people, they would ask, "Auntie Chen, what are you doing?"
"Auntie, where are we going for a stroll?"
"Ms. Chen, what good thing happened to you today?"
....
Every time, Chen's mother would raise the money in her hand and reply, "He who built the country said he would buy a chicken to supplement our diet."
After hearing this, everyone felt jealous and regretful, regretting why they had said so much.
Mother Chen walked proudly to the chicken farm in the village and called out Aunt Li.
"Li Shulan, hurry up and catch me a chicken. I want a big one!"
"Hey, who did you think you were talking to? Why are you talking to me?" Aunt Li was sweeping chicken shit and didn't hear clearly.
Chen's mother and daughter said, "You are such a jerk. I told you to catch chickens, but you came out empty-handed."
Aunt Li, who was scolded, was stunned for a moment and then rolled her eyes.
"You didn't hear clearly, why are you in such a hurry? I'll catch it for you now!"
"By the way, do you want a male or a female?"
Mother Chen laughed and looked at the chickens in the fence. They were all very small and none of them were as big as the ones at home.
She curled her lips in disgust and said, "This chicken you raised looks like it's malnourished!"
I learned this from Su Xia.
Aunt Li choked, but admitted that the chickens raised by Su Yatou were indeed bigger than theirs, each one weighing at least 5 kilograms, or even 6 kilograms.
Anyone in the village who can eat 4 jin is really lucky. He sighed and said, "Don't be picky. This one is the biggest, it must be 4 jin. It's the best for making soup when I go back. Besides, the meat is not tough."
Mother Chen looked carefully and found that it was indeed the largest. All the chickens raised in the village were raised by the mother because they did not lay eggs in winter and had to be fed grain. It would be better to sell them as meat. She would keep ten hens and save the breeding eggs, so that she could have a flock of chicks in the spring of next year.
Mother Chen nodded happily, "Okay, this is it. Here's the money."
Aunt Li took the money in and wrote down who bought it, how many pounds it was, and how much it cost.
Then he took out 3 yuan in change and handed it to Chen's mother.
"By the way, have you heard that the captain is going to be replaced?"
Mother Chen was stunned, her eyes widened, and she almost dropped the chicken in her hand.
After catching the fluttering chicken again, he asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"
Seeing that no one was around, Aunt Li said, "It seems that we told everyone about the grain delivery this time. Everyone should know about it when the village delivers grain tomorrow."
Mother Chen blinked and said, "Darling?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes. "Who else but him?"
Mother Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "That's fine. We're all acquaintances. Besides, he's done very well in the past few years."
Aunt Li agreed, "Aren't you curious about why Zhao Shuanzhu came down?"
Mother Chen rolled her eyes and said, "I'm old and my teeth are falling out. I'm saving it for downloading!"
Aunt Li choked, then gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "Let's go home and have some soup and meat."
Aunt Li looked at Chen's mother's back and said, "This old woman's life is really enviable."
When Chen's mother went back again, the villagers once again knew that Su Xia was eating meat again and had a hen.
"Hey, you want to eat too?" In the Youth League Home, a group of people were busy with the autumn harvest, and they were all tired and skinny.
Others also secretly swallowed their saliva.
Xia Zhiqing was also greedy, "How about we buy one too?"
The others looked over instantly, and the passion in their eyes almost scalded Xia Zhiqing to death.
In this way, Aunt Li welcomed the educated youth again and sold another hen. Aunt Li grinned with joy.
After putting the money away, I went to clean up the chicken shit, which was all very laborious.
When the villagers saw that the educated youth also bought a chicken, those with better-off families bought one, and two families of poorer families combined to buy one.
By noon, Aunt Li had sold ten chickens.
After counting it several times and confirming that it was 32 yuan, Aunt Li took the notebook and went to the village office to find the accountant.
Chen's mother killed and plucked the chicken. When Su Xia was about to stew it, Chen's mother came back and said that the old house had also bought a chicken.
"Mom, my second and third brothers don't agree with that either, just eat it!"
Mother Chen shook her head. "That's not what I meant. The second son's family came back and said that the grain delivery person has returned, but he also brought back a piece of news."
Su Xia blinked. "What news?"
"Zhao Dalin will be the captain of our village from now on!"
Su Xia paused what she was doing, then returned to normal after a moment.
Mother Chen also discovered this and was still muttering, "When Carpenter Li's wife told me, I didn't believe it at all. I didn't expect it to be true? I don't know what Zhao Shuanzhu was thinking, being so mysterious."
Su Xia understood in her heart that it seemed that it was because of those people who were about to be sent down, and it seemed that it was really related to that Gu Zhiqing.
It seems that it would be better to remind Chen's father when he comes back, after all, they will be in the village in the future.
Lunch was undoubtedly another hearty meal. Su Xia had another bowl of white rice, while Erbao ate his bowl of chicken soup with rice. There was also a large chicken drumstick, which he kept shaking with excitement.
"Today, many families in the village eat chicken. It seems that the villagers in our village are well-off!" Father Chen said with emotion.
Mother Chen just took a sip of the soup, and the golden chicken soup was delicious and fragrant.
Hearing what Chen's father said, he curled his lips and said, "That damn Zhao Shuangzhu, raising chickens and pigs, who doesn't ask our Xia Xia for help? He doesn't pay any wages, and doesn't even see a feather in the chicken."
Then he said, "It's still in the village, otherwise, Xia Xia, how can they make money every year?"
Father Chen nodded in agreement with a strange degree of intensity.
Su Xia....
Erbao also said, "Mom, they are always envious of you!"
"What do I envy you for?"
Erbao said, "I envy your son!"
....
Puff puff....
Chen's parents burst into laughter, and Su Xia could barely hold it back.
Erbao didn't understand the adults' fun and continued to fight for the chicken leg in the bowl.
After lunch, Su Xia expressed her guess before Chen's parents left.
After hearing the story, Chen's parents, who had just warmed up from drinking chicken soup, shuddered.
"Master, is this true?" Father Chen asked seriously.
Su Xia shook her head. "Dad, no one knows, but Uncle Zhao wouldn't come down so soon for no reason, and Teacher Zhao and the others wouldn't move out either. On the contrary, that Gu Zhiqing is quieter than before."
Father Chen thought about it and it was true. Mother Chen was a little anxious.
"What if something happens in the village..."
Su Xia shook her head. "Mom and Dad, we can't tell anyone. But Dad, you can tell the second and third sons privately. They just need to know it themselves. Uncle Zhao in the village will definitely make arrangements."
After a long time, Chen's parents said, "This is the only way!"
Su Xia looked at the backs of the two people. If she didn't care about Zhiqing, it wouldn't be impossible for her to have some contact with him, right?
......
Later, Su Xia wished that time could go back and she could say, "Absolutely not!"
