For two consecutive days, they were busy grabbing talisman paper everywhere, and the Wang family's original plan to cut down trees was postponed for two days.
It just so happened that it was Sun Daqin's turn to cook today, so she got up before dawn.
She wanted to ask Xiaomei to come over and light the fire, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law would punish her if she found out. Punishment was secondary. The key was that her mother-in-law would poke her in the heart. What? You have three sons, how dare you order other people's children around? Whenever Sun Daqin thought of what her mother-in-law said that night, she wanted to vomit blood.
She gritted her teeth and pushed her eldest son, "Zhengkang, get up quickly, you still have to go to school."
Zhengkang was in a deep sleep, and was a little impatient when he was woken up. He muttered, "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer."
Sun Daqin pushed him again and said in a more serious tone, "Hurry up and help mother light the fire."
Zhengkang waved his mother's hand away and answered in a half-asleep state, "Your name is Zhengguo, he is only in junior high school, and his school is much closer than mine."
Sun Daqin listened to his words and thought it made sense. She hurriedly called Zhengguo who was sleeping inside.
Zhengguo was similar to Zhengkang, also extremely sleepy and could not be woken up no matter how much he was called.
Sun Daqin was a little angry. She slapped the edge of the kang and yelled at the two of them, "Hurry up and get up!"
The roar woke the two sleepy people up immediately.
When they saw that it was his mother, they were both a little annoyed.
He was originally a carefree boy, and was spoiled by his original body and Sun Daqin since he was young. He had no idea what respect was.
Words started to come at him like a machine gun, "Mom, what are you doing? I'm so sleepy! Why are you yelling?"
"Yes, mother, can you be reasonable? It's not even daybreak yet, why did you wake us up?"
Sun Daqin held her breath and said unhappily, "I'm calling you to get up and light the fire."
Zheng Kang was stunned for a moment, then he pouted and vented, "Mom, are you getting old and confused? There are so many girls at home, and you actually called us?!"
Sun Daqin was still irritated by what happened before, and was a little unhappy. "We will separate the household chores in the future. Didn't you listen to what your grandma said before? Are you deaf or what?"
Zhengkang and Zhengguo were both stunned.
What does it mean
Do they have to work in the future
Sun Daqin threw the quilt aside and threw it to the end of the kang, saying harshly, "Hurry up and get dressed. If the meal isn't ready by the time your grandma wakes up, we'll all be hungry in this room."
Zhengkang and Zhengguo couldn't believe it. Could his grandmother really do this to them
But looking at his mother's cold face, and remembering that his mother had been starved for a day by his grandmother before, this didn't seem to be false. He felt very aggrieved, but he still put on his clothes and pants.
After they put on their shoes, Sun Daqin took them to the kitchen to start working.
One makes the fire, one washes the vegetables, and one kneads the dough.
Sun Daqin was better off, as she was used to doing these things before she got married. But Zhengkang and Zhengguo were not so good. They had never done this before they were in their teens and didn't even know how to start a fire. It took them a long time to finally light the fire.
Zhengguo, who was in charge of washing vegetables, went to the private plot to pick vegetables, but he picked the wrong place. He was caught and scolded severely. Zhengguo was worried about being hungry, so he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything back, and it took him more than ten minutes to come back.
When washing the vegetables, he made another mistake. It turned out that Zhengguo didn't know to separate the vegetables before washing. When Sun Daqin cut the vegetables, he found that they were full of mud, so he washed them again.
The two of them kept making a fool of themselves, waking up all the others who were sleeping soundly.
Even with such a rush, we were still more than an hour later than before.
Qian Shulan watched them frantically bringing the dishes to the table, and her face darkened slightly.
"Next time you're late, you'll have your private plots turned over."
Sun Daqin wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded in agreement. She would do anything as long as she could eat.
Zhengkang and Zhengguo frowned when they heard this. If they were still skeptical about his mother's words before, now they are sure of it.
His grandmother really didn't take any special care of them.
This realization made them feel as if the sky was falling.
Sun Daqin soon realized that it was not just about cooking for three days, she also had to work in the fields with Li Chunhua and Zhou Xuemei to earn work points. She wanted to refuse, but her mother-in-law gave her a glare and she immediately kept silent.
Sun Daqin felt somewhat reluctant when she thought about having to live like this for the rest of her life.
However, she was lucky because she didn't have to cook dinner today because she had to chop trees and prepare a large amount of food.
After breakfast, Wang Shouli went to report to the county town.
Only the two brothers Wang Shouren and Wang Shouyi were left to cut trees on the hillside. This hillside was actually a river bank. The river was relatively wide, about 30 meters. It led directly to the reservoir, and the reservoir would release water every year when the land needed to be irrigated.
Trees are planted on both sides of the riverbank because tree roots can stabilize the soil and prevent the slope from collapsing.
These trees are quite old. They were planted by Wang Guangfu, a former landlord in Wangjia Village before the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the land reform, Wang Guangfu was shot. His son and grandson were sent to labor camps.
Wang Guangfu's land, together with the trees on the slope, were divided into the Wangjia Village Production Brigade as collective property.
These trees are already twenty or thirty years old, and they are all straight poplars. Although this material is very common, it is better to have it than not to have it later.
Qian Shulan only cuts the thick ones.
For convenience, Qian Shulan also approved the twenty-eight legs that Wang Danna was going to prepare for her when she got married, and the thirty-six legs that Zhengkang was going to prepare for her when she got married.
This batch consists of fifteen trees.
When building a house now, the roof requires a lot of wooden boards, and the beams also require wood.
The eldest brother, the third brother and Qian Minghua went to the mountain to cut wood together, and brought some brothers from the same family who had a good relationship with them to help.
All the tools are ready-made in the team.
After the tree was felled, Qian Shulan asked her daughter-in-law, who had just returned from work, to drag the cut branches back. The children also went to help.
Qian Shulan didn't go, she cooked some delicious food at home to entertain those who came to help. Wang Danna helped her light the fire, wash vegetables, and steam buns.
What surprised Qian Shulan was that Wang Danna's hands and feet were very quick and nimble, and it was obvious that she was used to doing this.
By the time the two of them finished cooking, it was already evening.
They didn't come back for lunch because the hillside was a bit far and it wasn't worth the trip. So they all brought their own steamed buns.
Since the help was only for one meal, no one complained.
At night, Wang Shouquan kept muttering to Qian Minghua while walking on the road.
He was also called over by Qian Minghua to help.
Wang Shouquan is the branch secretary of Wangjia Village and is a close relative of Qian Shulan's family.
He is the youngest son of Wang Liwei, the elder brother of Qian Shulan's husband Wang Liyong. He is 32 years old this year, the same age as Qian Minghua.
Because the original body had some conflicts with Wang Shouquan's mother (sister-in-law) in the early years, Wang Shouquan had no good feelings towards his third aunt. When they met, they were just polite and called her third aunt. There was no friendship at all.
The reason he came to help this time was purely because Qian Minghua called him.
Wang Shouren and his brother were a little surprised to see their cousin coming over. Their two families had not had any contact for more than ten years.
It is truly a blessing that Wang Shouquan can come here.
Ten strong laborers were all sitting at the big round table in the main room.
Seeing Qian Shulan directing her three daughters-in-law to bring the food over, they all swallowed their saliva.
Even Zhengkang and others who had already eaten were staring at them eagerly.
Qian Shulan was afraid that they would make a fuss, so she had already fed them, but the amount of food she fed was not as much as what was on the table.
But she obviously underestimated the power of meat.
Qian Shulan cut up all the bacon that her original body had dried, and cooked bacon stewed with potatoes and bacon and cabbage stewed with vermicelli.
I also took two fish from the team’s fish pond and made a braised fish.
The rest are vegetarian dishes: shredded potatoes, stir-fried green beans, stir-fried bean sprouts, mushrooms, Chinese cabbage and stir-fried celery, making a total of eight dishes and one soup.
The portions of meat and vegetables were generous, and the other dishes were served on plates. Of course, the tomato and egg soup was also served in a large bowl.
Because there were not enough bowls and plates, Qian Shulan asked Li Chunhua to borrow a few from next door.
When all the dishes were served, Qian Shulan hurriedly asked them to eat, "They are all ordinary dishes, please feel free to eat."
These people's eyes sparkled, and they kept shaking their heads while swallowing their saliva. It was obvious that such food shocked them.
Qian Minghua is a somewhat introverted person and usually has a stern face, but at this moment everyone can see that he is in a good mood.
Originally, he was worried that his aunt had not prepared the meal well, and wanted to invite Wang Shouquan to his house for dinner. However, Wang Shouren insisted on inviting them over, saying that his mother had instructed them to have dinner at their house.
He was still worried just now. His aunt had done this kind of thing before.
At that time, the roof needed repairing, and Qian Minghua brought Wang Shouquan to help.
But the aunt only treated them to brown rice cakes and pickles.
He was afraid that his aunt's reputation for being stingy would spread. He could only take a few brothers to their house to eat, and these people would not get angry. But since then, his aunt's reputation, which was already bad, has become even worse. People said all kinds of things. He was also very troubled.
Finally, eight years had passed and people had forgotten about it.
If this continues, Qian Minghua believes that Xiaomei and the others will never be able to marry into a good family. Oh, there is no need to wait until later, isn't it just that Wang Danna has never been able to find a suitable family
Fortunately, this time his aunt did a very reliable job, and he felt slightly relieved.
Wang Shouquan, who was sitting next to Qian Minghua, did not have any greedy expression at all. He was the brigade secretary and the coordinator, and he earned 3,600 work points a year.
Others could earn 60 or 70 yuan a year, but he could earn 130 yuan a year. Naturally, his family lived a comfortable life.
Other families only eat meat once or twice a year, but they can eat it once every two or three months.
However, this time, he was really surprised that his third aunt was willing to invest so much.
Qian Shulan saw Wang Shouquan glancing at her face, so she smiled at him generously, "Shouquan? Is the food not to your taste?"
Wang Shouquan was not embarrassed to be caught peeping, and shook his head naturally, "Aunt San's cooking skills are very good, I am so surprised."
Qian Shulan didn't know that he hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, and thought he was praising her. She smiled and nodded, "If it tastes good, eat more. Don't waste it." After saying that, she asked her three daughters-in-law to take the children out.
Wang Shouquan looked away and found that everyone else had started to eat voraciously, so he quickly picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat.
I thought to myself that even if it didn’t taste that good, it was still meat after all.
After searching left and right, Wang Shouquan finally found a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
My God! This tasted so good. Better than anything he had ever tasted before.
It is sweet, fragrant and refreshing. You can tell at first glance that it has been fried in soybean oil, but it is not hard at all and is very fragrant.
Wang Shouquan immediately stuffed the meat on the chopsticks into his mouth and continued to look for it.
The group of people no longer cared about drinking, chatting and bragging, and all started looking for meat.
After a long while, when all the meat was found, they started to drink and chat.
The group ate very well and came to help again early the next morning.
After three days, they finally cut the required wood and cut it into sections.
Qian Minghua drove a horse-drawn carriage to drag the wood to the farm tool factory and asked them to help process it.
Qian Shulan thought that the wood had to be left at home to dry for a period of time before it could be used.
But Qian Minghua said no, the farm implement factory would process it. So except for some for the upper beam, the rest were dragged to the farm implement factory to be processed into furniture.
Since Qian Minghua wrote the note and Qian Shulan gave the processing fee, this matter was easy to handle.
I heard that it would take more than a month to complete, but Qian Shulan was not in a hurry.
As for building a house, Qian Shulan thought of starting before the autumn harvest.
Otherwise, I will be busy when the autumn harvest comes in June.
Because the building was done in a hurry, all the strong men in the village came to help. Qian Shulan knew that her original body was not so popular, probably because of the good food she had eaten for three days.
So, she still adhered to the previous route and began to entertain them attentively. Presumably, because the food was delicious, they were willing to come and help.
When the bacon at home was finished, she would exchange it with the villagers for other things.
Everyone knew that their family was building a new house, and she said she would exchange twelve pounds of wheat for one pound of meat.
Now, wheat is sold at 6 cents per catty at the grain station, and bacon is sold at 70 cents per catty at the purchasing station. Twelve catties of wheat is 72 cents, so they still make a little profit.
Naturally, no one was unhappy.
At that time, one dime was considered a lot of money, not to mention that two cents could buy a box of matches.
Qian Shulan's reputation improved overnight. Most people said that she was not as stingy as before.
In the past, she considered herself to have a conscience if she didn’t take advantage of others. But if she suffered the slightest loss, she would go to their house and make a scene, and even run to their doorstep to curse.
Qian Shulan also wanted to save some of her reputation, so she did this. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. Although it was only two cents, her reputation improved a lot.
The most obvious thing is that when she walks on the street, people will say hello to her.
In the countryside, as long as someone's reputation is not too bad, most people will say hello when they see him.
But in her memory, her original self was always avoided by others. Even if they had to meet her, they would pretend not to see her. It can be seen that her character was so bad that everyone hated her.
