Zhengkang didn't expect his mother to ask him for money.
Sun Daqin got angry when she saw his stupid look. He had no manliness at all. She wished he would die of cowardice.
Zhengkang felt ashamed and embarrassed by his mother's contemptuous look, and ran back to his room quickly.
After entering the room, he hesitated for a long time before telling me the money for the chicken.
Liu Fang is so famous that she almost died. "I have to pay for eating my own chicken? What kind of parents are so cruel?"
Zhengkang's face turned red, but he still spoke up for his mother, "We have already separated. The team is only allowed to raise three chickens, and those chickens are our mother's lifeblood. Keep them for next year's eggs!"
Liu Fangming was not willing to listen. Her wound was burning with pain and she couldn't even eat anything delicious.
She came out of the house and yelled at Sun Daqin, "I'm in this state, why do you, as an old lady, want money?"
Sun Daqin was also unhappy. "You got hurt because of yourself, not me. I even paid you a hundred dollars, but I haven't asked you to pay it back. You still want to eat chicken, why? You don't have broken arms or legs, so you need to drink chicken soup to replenish yourself." She must not ask for this, otherwise they will not treat her as an outsider in the future. If you want to separate, you must act like you are separating.
Liu Fangming couldn't win the argument with her and was so angry that he didn't even eat and just lay down on the kang.
During dinner, Zhengkang called her, but she refused to come out. He left the room with a sad face. He wandered aimlessly in the production team and unknowingly walked to the chicken farm.
Seeing so many people busy, he went over to help. Deng Yunping was standing under the awning, holding Fengchan and watching them busy.
When all the chicken cages were loaded onto the truck, Deng Yunping looked back at Zhengkang. Seeing him waving at them expressionlessly, she looked at her mother with a smile on her face, and she felt a mixed feeling in her heart.
After the truck drove away, Qian Shulan turned her head to look at Zhengkang, "Why are you here when you're not at home taking care of Xiaofang?"
Zhengkang looked embarrassed and said nothing. Sun Daqin glared at him and said, "Why else? You just want to get the free hens?"
Qian Shulan frowned and gave Sun Daqin a fake look, "What are you talking about? Even if Zhengkang is stupid, he would never do such a stupid thing."
Zhengkang blushed with shame, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Grandma, can I buy a hen?"
Qian Shulan looked at him with a half-smile, and Zhengkang couldn't raise his head anymore. Seeing his face flushed and his head almost lowered to his chest, Sun Daqin asked in a disheartening tone, "Did you bring money?"
Zhengkang was about to suffer from embarrassment.
Qian Shulan, however, seemed not to notice and shook her head to refuse, "Every household in our production team can get three hens, and your grain and oil connection is not in the county. You can't buy them."
Zhengkang lowered his head, hummed, and turned to leave.
Qian Shulan stopped the man and said, "Wait a minute, I want to tell you something."
Zhengkang turned around, looking a little silly, "Grandma, what's the matter?"
Qian Shulan looked at him and said calmly, "Don't you want to go to the city? I'll give you a chance."
Zhengkang was so shocked that he took a long time to come back to his senses. He stared at his milk eagerly and swallowed nervously, "What chance?"
Sun Daqin also stared at her.
Qian Shulan sat on the chair and wrote a few words on the notebook, "Your aunt is a salesperson like you, I'll let her switch with you."
Although they were both salespeople, the salary in the city was three dollars more than in the countryside. So how much should she ask for
Zhengkang obviously didn't expect to have such good news. He really wanted to reunite with his family, but he didn't expect to have such a chance. His voice began to tremble, "Really? Does my aunt agree?"
Qian Shulan waved her hand. "Your aunt is old and needs some money. If you can give her a hundred yuan as compensation, she will trade with you. Her salary is three yuan more than yours. You can consider whether it is worthwhile or not."
It only took Masahiro three seconds to reply to her, "I want to change!"
Sun Daqin poured cold water on him, "You should ask Xiaofang! It's only one hundred yuan, can you decide?"
Being looked down upon by his own mother, Zhengkang was already extremely embarrassed, "Okay, I'll go back and ask."
After saying this, he waved to Fengchan and ran away as fast as he could.
Sun Daqin stamped her feet in anger, "I didn't raise a son, I raised a girl, you'd better die like a coward."
Qian Shulan shook her head slightly, "Put him in the county town, out of sight and out of mind." She didn't want to come over every day to stop them fighting. Both of them were troublesome people, so it was better to separate them.
After Sun Daqin calmed down, she hesitated, "Mom, this is not a good idea. Yun Ping still needs to find a partner!"
The partners you look for when working in the city and in the town are definitely different.
Sun Daqin didn't want her mother-in-law to let her sister-in-law suffer because of that unfilial son. It was really not worth it.
Qian Shulan certainly wouldn't tell Sun Daqin what Deng Yunping was thinking. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Sun Daqin, saying earnestly, "You and Xiaofang don't get along well. If I don't separate you two, sooner or later you'll cause a big mess at home. Should I still go to work?"
Sun Daqin was speechless because of what her mother-in-law said. She obviously didn't expect that her mother-in-law was doing this for her. She felt touched and embarrassed.
Zhengkang ran home in one breath and opened the door of his room. Xiaofang was lying on the kang pretending to sleep. When she saw him coming in, she scolded him, "Where's my meal? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Zhengkang leaned against the door frame and panted heavily, "I'll serve you some food later. I have something good to tell you."
Liu Fangming put away his cold face and became interested. "What's the good news?"
Zhengkang sat on the edge of the kang and repeated Qian Shulan's words.
When Liu Fangming heard that it would cost one hundred yuan, she felt very distressed. But when she thought that her family could be together in the future and Fengchan would never leave her again, she struggled for a long time and finally decided to make the change.
Seeing that she agreed, Zhengkang immediately smiled and said, "I knew you would agree."
Liu Fangming put away his smile and looked at him seriously, "Now that our family has arrived in the county, you will be responsible for receiving the bumper harvest every day. My factory always requires overtime work and it is difficult to ask for leave."
Zhengkang agreed without thinking twice. He was a salesman and rarely worked overtime.
When Xiaofang's arm wounds were all scabbed, Deng Yunping and Zhengkang had completed their work handover, and the exchange process was very smooth. Fang Yonglin had a good relationship with the manager of the county department store, and Zhengkang sent some eggs to the town leaders, so the deal was done.
On the 20th, the educated youths had a dispute over who should go back for the annual leave. Because it was the first year, there were three quotas for going back.
Everyone wanted to go home, but there were only so many places available. They could hear them arguing from a distance. Some of them were more thoughtful and tried to please Wang Shouquan and Qian Minghua by giving them gifts. These educated youth had no other valuables, so they could only give money. But their money was very limited, so they gave very little away.
Xu Cuilan kept complaining while chatting with Qian Shulan, "Do they have brains? Even if they really want to bribe us, they should ask if our family is interested in this little money, right? It's just three cents, it's a pity they can afford to give it to us."
Qian Shulan was also amused. She patted her shoulder and said with envy, "It's better to be a team leader. You can get 30 cents for one position."
Xu Cuilan gave her a glare, "If you're really envious, why don't you sell the chicken farm quota? You can probably sell more, there's always 50 cents."
Qian Shulan laughed, "If I sell this, I will probably never see anyone again. Your family is good at guarding the spring, and you can resist temptation. You are a good cadre."
Xu Cuilan waved her hand modestly, "Don't praise him so much, he just doesn't want to be criticized by the villagers."
Qian Shulan nodded in agreement.
No matter how the educated youth bribed, the final result was the same as before.
This time, the ranking was still based on the work points. In addition to Su Aiguo and Ge Xiaoyun, the other quota was for a male comrade. No one made a fuss this time. Everyone else looked at the three people with envy. Shen Yanhong's eyes turned red with jealousy. Kong Qiuyun comforted her, "As long as we earn more work points next year, it will be our turn next time."
Shen Yanhong hummed heavily.
Ever since Ge Xiaoyun got the quota, she has been feeling very upset. She doesn't want to go back at all. Her home is very far away and the round-trip train ticket costs more than ten yuan. Why should she go back
After careful consideration, she decided to give the spot to someone else. Of course, it couldn't be free. For this spot, everyone else was vying to please her.
In the end, it was Hao Xiaoqing, who usually had the least presence, who got the quota. Ge Xiaoyun got five yuan. Everyone else guessed that Ge Xiaoyun had taken advantage of Hao Xiaoqing, but no one expected that there would be so much money. Ge Xiaoyun himself was still confused. You can't judge a person by his appearance.
On the 26th, all the cloth coupons were distributed. The educated youths did not expect that there were so few cloth coupons. They all sighed, "What can we do with these three feet of cloth? We can't even buy a jacket."
"Could it be that someone stole our cloth coupons?" Shen Yanhong began to speculate maliciously.
Ge Xiaoyun shook his head quickly, "I asked the aunties at the chicken farm, and they used to have this much."
Shen Yanhong was even more desperate. If it was the brigade cadres who had embezzled the money, it would be fine. They could go to the commune and make a scene and maybe they could get the money back. But now, there was just so much money. It was too hopeless.
"Let's get together. Two people make a piece of clothing, and then the other person will take over next year." Kong Qiuyun gave everyone advice.
Shen Yanhong was dejected and gave her cloth coupons to Kong Qiuyun, "I'll give you mine, and we can wear the clothes together."
Kong Qiuyun gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Your idea is better."
Ge Xiaoyun also joined others to buy clothes. The person she was buying clothes with was Liu Xiuli. Since everyone else was already taken, she had no other choice.
After the cloth coupons were issued, everyone went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth. There were so many people that it was not easy.
Qian Shulan did not go, as her cloth coupons had been brought back by Deng Yunping. Qian Shulan made clothes for Xiaomin and used the remaining cloth to sew a schoolbag for Yuan Zeyang, who was so happy that he thanked her repeatedly.
After buying the cloth, Li Chunhua was very busy. In recent years, people's lives have been getting better and better, and they are willing to spend money on their families. Her business has been booked until March.
She wrote down everyone's name list, and then measured the sizes of the people in the last seven days. She had a bad memory, so she wrote down the sizes she had measured every time. Then she started to work. Seven days was a cycle, which was very fast.
