Chapter 372 The House Ruiner in the 1970s (3)
Thinking of this, Xu Yin sighed quietly.
“Eh? Yin Yin, why are you here too?”
The couple noticed that their second daughter was following behind them.
“Do you really want to go to work?”
Chen Huilan was so surprised that she almost touched Xu Yin's forehead to see if she had a fever.
There are still people who take the initiative to come to work these days? Stupid or not!
How easy it is to make matchboxes at home. It's a pity that the number of matchboxes that the old man received by someone was not many, otherwise she would have wanted to stay at home. When she was tired, she could lie down on the bed at any time. How comfortable!
“Is your matchbox burnt out?”
"Then light the matchbox and it will be ready in a while at night." Xu Yin said.
I didn’t want to go to the ground, so I hid at home all day long by making a matchbox.
Just a woman with quick hands and feet who can light a matchbox can do it in less than two hours.
However, even though this was a small quantity of matchboxes, Grandpa Xu asked his old colleagues who were transferred to the match factory to keep them. Otherwise, there would be so many housewives in the city trying to make extra money by gluing matchboxes, and who would get the country people?
When Chen Huilan heard what her daughter said, she looked at her in surprise: Did the sun come out from the west? This girl didn't say that before. She used to complain that she was tired every day, saying that so many matchboxes were so sticky that her eyes hurt, her hands ached, and her back ached.
Xu Laosan also felt that this daughter was a bit abnormal: "Yinyin, are you interested in a youngster from the production team?"
Xu Yin said expressionlessly: "Nothing, I'm just here to earn some work points."
"real?"
"real!"
This family is extremely poor. If they don’t earn points, what will they eat?
The two of them looked at each other: Why are you so disbelieving?
“We are running out of food at home.” Xu Yin reminded them.
“Oh, then I’ll go to your grandma’s house after work to scoop some.” Xu Laosan is used to it.
Chen Huilan: "I'm going to take a leave tomorrow and go back to my parents' house to see if there are enough. Let's share some."
Xu Yin: “…”
She was reminding them that they were about to run out of food, so work hard to earn work points! What are these two couples thinking? One wants to go back to old Xu's house to beg for money, and the other wants to go back to her parents' house to beg for money?
I couldn’t help but want to hold my forehead: “Dad, Mom, if you work harder, you will definitely earn enough work points to feed our family.”
“…” The couple were extremely surprised, “Didn’t you say that before?”
“…What did I say before?”
"You think there's no point in earning work points? You have to work so hard to get such a small amount of food."
…”
No! That's not what she said!
She is a hardworking girl who loves peace and likes to farm (cross out)!
The family of three arrived at the work field of the production team where the Xu family was located. There were already many people sitting under the shade of the trees waiting for the production team leader to assign the afternoon work.
Seeing Xu Yin, everyone was surprised: "Third son, why are you willing to bring your second daughter out today?"
Xu Laosan didn't believe that his second daughter was really here to earn work points, but as a parent, who wouldn't like to mold their children to be sensible, filial and diligent?
He said: "Yin Yin saw that we two were not feeling well, so she insisted on coming over to help."
Chen Huilan also smiled dryly and said: "This child is just worrying. How can we use her help? But she insists on coming, and there is really nothing we can do about her."
“Sure enough, my daughter is considerate. That brat of mine doesn’t know where to get into all day long, and he doesn’t leave home every day.”
Everybody praises Xu Yin with their mouths, but in their hearts they know very well: One of them is lazy and the other is lazy. What's wrong with you? Pooh! I used this excuse from the age of twenty to the age of forty, and I didn’t know how to change it. As long as I go to work, I complain about this discomfort and that discomfort. If I don’t go to work, I won’t have this problem.
As for the second daughter of the Xu family, she has never been seen on the ground before. Who knows whether she is really filial or fake.
However, her eldest sister Xu Sang is a real hard-working person. There is no girl in the entire brigade who is more diligent than Xu Sang.
It’s a pity that last year, Xu Laosan was spotted by a young man from the team next door. In order to save food rations, it took less than half a year from the time when the man proposed marriage to when the woman got married, so he gave such a good girl away to get married.
Those who have sons at home can’t help but feel it is a pity, but then they think of the laziness and virtue of Xu Laosan and his wife. Marrying Xu Sang might be equivalent to marrying Xu Laosan’s family, and they can’t help but feel lucky that their son did not fall in love with Xu Sang in the first place.
"Are they all here? Let's start work! Third brother, no one is allowed to leave early today! These two ridges of land belong to you, third daughter-in-law... Oh, this is the second daughter of the third brother's family? Her name seems to be Yin Yin, right? Today My son also comes to earn work points? Okay, okay! This is how it should be!" The production team leader saw Xu Yin and nodded with satisfaction, "Yinyin, just follow your mother and go to the soybean field to pull weeds!"
"Uncle, my dad is not in good health, let me switch with him." Xu Yin said, "I will dig the ground and let my dad pull the weeds."
…”
The scene was completely silent.
Everyone glanced at Xu Yin first, and then turned to look at Xu Laosan.
Xu Laosan had just dozed off against a tree. A lazy man wants to sleep wherever he goes.
Suddenly he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes and said, "What's wrong? The distribution is over? Where should I go?"
“You and your wife are pulling weeds.” An old man teased him, “Your filial daughter has taken on the job of plowing the land for you.”
…”
Why does Xu Laosan not believe it so much?
It wasn’t until he saw his second girl, wielding a **** and going straight to work, that he suddenly opened his eyes and even the sleepy people ran away.
“Oh my god! Is this really the second daughter of our family? Wife, please pinch me. Am I awake?”
His wife was even more shocked than he was, and she couldn't even say anything dumbfounded.
It took him a long time to say: "Yin, Yin Yin, you are so strong, don't let your waist slip. If you suffer from back pain, it will affect your future childbirth."
Xu Yin brought down the **** and almost hit her instep.
She glanced at the couple faintly: "Father, mother, you go about your business! Remember! You are not allowed to leave before the end of work. I will cook today when I have received full work points."
The couple looked at each other: Should they listen or not?
If you listen, you have to work conscientiously for half a day; if you don’t, you have to cook your own dinner when you go home.
These two options are the same, so tiring!
I don’t want to choose either, I just want to lie in bed and sleep.
“Daughter-in-law, what do you think?”
“What about you? Earn work points or cook?”
“How about earning work points? At least I still have food rations.”
"Okay, let's work for a full day. As promised, you are not allowed to leave in the middle."
“You’re just talking about me? What about yourself? A woman can run away faster than a man. Is it true?”
…”
Xu Yin heard the conversation between the couple and felt a black line.
Just this little work, still need to discuss it for a long time? Give them both a scale. Do you want to weigh which one sweats less and decide which one to choose?
She looked at the sky, feeling a little desperate. Why?
I originally thought that the start of this time, although not a good one, was not as bad as the last small world - it was disfigured at the beginning, but now that I think about it - this seems to be too early...
