On the second day after the grain was distributed, Su Xia wanted to take Erbao back, but because she asked the village to make vermicelli and potato and sweet potato flour, she was delayed for a day and went back on the second day.
After teaching for an afternoon, Su Xia did not go in the afternoon, and her two younger brothers and sisters from Chen's mother's old house followed her.
There are also Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun, because it was Su Xia who came up with the idea and helped the church, but they still got nothing.
The new captain discussed with the old captain and threw this opportunity to earn work points to the two remaining brothers of Chen Jian.
The former captain, smoking a pipe, repeatedly told the boss, "You must be polite to the Chen family from now on. Do you hear me?"
Zhao Dalin nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry. I've already thought about it. When everything is better, I'll send some to Brother Jianguo and Sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao looked at his boss with satisfaction. This son was indeed better than himself.
Zhao Dalin didn't notice his father's sigh, but said something else: "Dad, my little sister is here to see me!"
"What's the matter?" Captain Zhao frowned when he heard the name of his daughter.
"He wants me to arrange an easy job for my brother-in-law."
"Humph - it's easy work, you didn't say the work points are low!"
Zhao Dalin also had a headache when he thought of his sister. "Dad, I told you, but you don't know. You said we are all family, so why can't you be nicer to Gu Zhiqing? And you said we have this relationship, so why let Gu Zhiqing work so hard...?"
When Zhao Shuanzhu heard this, his heart still ached. He still wanted to understand why the girl who hugged his neck and called "Daddy..." became like this.
"Why-
"As for your sister, you should take care of her. You've just been appointed captain, so don't cause any trouble!"
Zhao Dalin nodded and said, "Dad, I'm just reminding you not to let my younger sister come back and say something."
"Got it. Oh, by the way, start making the vermicelli and flour tomorrow. It's best to make them before they come down."
"Got it, Dad!"
Thinking of something, he whispered, "Dad, is there really my brother-in-law's family among these people?"
The former captain glanced at him and didn't respond, but even so, Zhao Dalin understood what he meant.
Then there was no more tension, "Dad, we..."
The former captain said directly, "Since you asked us to take care of it, then we should take care of it. You go back and keep an eye on the people living in the cowshed. It's okay to keep them outside. Just let them freeze to death inside."
"Also, hold a meeting in the village and tell them to stay away as much as possible. We've offended you, but if anything happens, we'll be there to help you!"
After hearing this, Zhao Dalin understood what to do.
The former captain also instructed, "Whenever you need to make a decision in the future, go ask your brother Jianguo. He's been out there for a long time and knows more than anyone else."
Zhao Dalin was delighted when he heard this, "I know, Dad!"
After saying that, he went out to work. Now he is the team leader, but he can't be lazy. He has to keep an eye on the vermicelli shop and keep busy.
The former captain looked at his sons' backs, feeling comforted. At least both of his sons were developing in a good direction.
As for the villagers, they all participated actively. After all, it was related to how the money would be divided. Besides, there were so many potatoes and sweet potatoes left at home, which were indeed enough to eat. Our country usually relied on growing coarse grains and corn, which had a much higher yield than fine grains.
In addition to the educated youth who came to the village, there are now 2 female educated youth and 15 male educated youth in the educated youth home, including Gu Zhiqing who got married and left.
The number is quite large compared to other villages.
Due to the large number of people, we divided into two groups, half male and half female, and the other half cooked for the female educated youth.
The other half are male educated youth, and the female educated youth cook while the male educated youth fetch water and chop firewood.
After we came back, we agreed to exchange vermicelli and flour.
"Tell me, how come Su Zhi is so capable and knows everything? And why do the villagers trust her so much?" a female educated youth asked curiously.
In an instant, he looked at the old educated youth. After all, they had just been here for half a year, and Su Xia had just moved to the county town during this period, so they knew everything very well.
But among the villagers, they are indeed most curious about Su Xia.
An old educated youth told all he knew, and the group of people who heard it were shocked.
"You mean that during the famine, the villagers survived by relying on the well in Su Zhi's house?" a male educated youth shouted in disbelief.
"Well, this isn't a secret. It's only been a few days."
"It's strange that the villagers trust her so much, and she never works, and the villagers also say so."
"That's one thing. There's also the watermelon seeds that Su Zhi cultivated himself, and the cantaloupe seeds that he later developed. He donated them to the village free of charge, and taught everyone how to grow them."
Another old educated youth continued, "Now the village has so many chickens and pigs. The feed is also provided by Su Zhi, who also taught the village for free. He does everything himself."
The educated youth who heard all the stories were so surprised that they swallowed their saliva.
Xia Zhiqing, the leader of the female educated youth, looked at the crowd and said, "So in this village, if you offend anyone, you can offend Su Zhi."
"That's true. If you offend her, you basically offend the entire village." The new educated youth added.
"By the way, should we switch?" an educated youth reminded everyone.
Qi quickly said, "Of course we'll change it. Winter potatoes, cabbage, and radish. When we're done eating, it'll be great to add more vegetables."
"Yes, I also want to ask the village if I can buy some separately and have them sent home when the time comes."
"Now that you mention it, I'm thinking of buying two chickens, freezing them, and sending them home."
"Count me in"
.....
The educated youth in Zhaojia Village had already made their way through life and were short of money. However, things were scarce in the market now, and even their families couldn't buy them even if they were pawnshops. Since there were some in the village, why didn't they send them home? If they still wanted to go back, they would definitely need their families' help.
Can you say that everyone is simple?
When the village was busy, Su Xia had already taken the village's ox cart and finally returned to her home in the county town after a month.
Because of many things going on at home, Su Xia did not let Chen Xiaochen's mother come this time, and hired the village ox cart.
Erbao looked a little depressed sitting in the car. Zhao Dazhu saw the little one pouting, but the corners of his mouth had not fallen since he came out.
"Erbao, why do you want to go back?"
Erbao heard this, glanced at Su Xia, and pouted, "Grandpa Zhao, I want to learn."
Su Xia rolled her eyes and Zhao Dazhu laughed.
Seeing this, Erbao looked at Su Xia again and said aggrievedly, "Mom, can I go to the village to accompany grandpa and grandma?"
Su Xia glared at him. The little brat was itching to play tricks again. He had been making trouble for the past two days because he wanted to learn from him.
"Okay, you have to learn it. If you keep nagging, I'll give you a plate of stir-fried pork on a bamboo board."
When Erbao heard this, the hope in his big eyes disappeared, replaced by loss.
Zhao Dazhu burst out laughing. Children always want to play.
However, I give a thumbs up to the school. I think about the fact that more and more children are going to the school in the village in recent days. That's because everyone has food and money, and half of them were brought by Su Yatou.
I was touched and patted her butt gently with my hand.
"Su Yatou Erbao, sit tight, I'm going to speed up!"
After hearing this, Su Xia hugged Erbao to prevent him from falling. However, Erbao couldn't hold back his tears as he looked at the village getting farther and farther away.
