The accountant of the brigade thought that it would take at least two or three days to fully settle the work points, but Su Yue's calculation speed was too fast. It only took half a day to calculate the part of the task assigned to her, and the accountant That part of me isn't quite there yet.
So Su Yue took another half day the next day to help the accountant calculate together, and by noon all accounts were settled.
The accountant of the brigade didn't even know how to thank Su Yue, but this time he really helped him a lot. In previous years, he would have to keep at least ten days' worth of accounts all by himself. It's over, which means that you can distribute things to the members several days in advance, and you don't have to be urged by the members to follow your ass.
Through this incident, the party secretary also looked at Su Yue with admiration. Originally, he didn't like the educated youth who came to the countryside to jump in the queue, because the educated youth, both men and women, were very squeamish and could not do farm work. The gang members have to pay for their rations and housing. This is a burden for the gang, so the members don’t like the educated youths, and the party secretary doesn’t like them either. I usually see these educated youths. I won't be very enthusiastic, I just hope they can make a little less of a moth.
In the past, his impression of Su Yue was that of a very beautiful and squeamish girl. She always liked to ask for leave when she did a bad job. She didn't like it very much. More than can be calculated.
With her help this time, the settlement at the end of the year was easily completed.
As soon as the secretary was happy, he gave Su Yue five catties of meat as a reward for this help, and he gave him five catties of fat.
These days, everyone loves to eat fatty meat. When dividing the meat, we can’t wait to divide the fat meat, because the fat meat is rich in oil and water, which makes it easy to eat, and it can also be used to make lard for cooking. It can be said that the secretary is willing to give five catties of fat.
Su Yue actually doesn't like to eat fatty meat. If she eats it herself, she will definitely choose to eat lean meat, but she thinks that fatty meat can be refined into oil. If you have oil, you can add more oil when cooking vegetables, so she didn't refuse. Fatty went home happily.
Seeing that Su Yue brought back so much fat, Mrs. Han narrowed her eyes with joy, "It's good, now I can make two large cans of oil, and I don't need to search for oil for cooking during the New Year."
It was the time when oil was needed during the Chinese New Year. That afternoon, Mrs. Han happily turned all five kilograms of fat into lard. In addition, she got a large pot of oil residue. Oil residue is a good thing. Adults and children like to eat it. When you take a bite, your mouth is full of oil. It is extremely delicious for the members who have not seen oil and water all the year round, especially the oil residue that has just come out of the pot. Put one in your mouth and chew it. Once you chew it, you will be happy like a fairy. If you can sprinkle some sugar on it, it will be even happier.
Han Aimin received a small bowl of oil residue from the old lady's reward. He was so happy that he couldn't find Bei. He sat under the stove with a bench and ate while burning fire. He couldn't enjoy it.
Mrs. Han wanted to give Su Yue a separate bowl to eat, and Su Yue hurriedly waved her hand, "Mother, I don't want to eat it, I don't like to eat this." She still couldn't eat things like oil residue, and she felt tired and panicked.
The old lady Han said, "You just don't know how to enjoy happiness by nature. You don't like to eat delicious food.
Su Yue is ashamed, old lady, I really don't like to eat such fat and fat.
——
Early the next morning, the production leader shouted on the radio and asked all the members to go to the brigade to gather immediately and start the settlement and distribution at the end of the year.
When the members heard the news, they all grinned with joy. In addition to being happy, they praised the brigade cadres for their quick work this year. It was a good deal so early, unlike in previous years, it was delayed until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month or even the 30th of the new year.
It was snowing outside, and people shivered from the cold as soon as they went out. Su Yue didn’t like to go out because she was afraid of the cold, and she didn’t want to join in the fun. The wife continued to prepare things for the New Year. In addition to making some melon seed candies to entertain guests, the most important thing is to eat on the table. The New Year's Eve dinner in the 30th light year requires a lot of thought.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner is eaten by a large family. There are more than a dozen people. Su Yue thought that at least ten dishes would be enough. In order to make up the dishes, she planned to fry a meatball, and because every family distributed tofu when the team was grinding tofu, Su Yue kept a piece of tofu to fry Chinese cabbage, and the other tofu was going to be used for fried tofu balls.
However, before frying Yuanzi, Su Yue called Han Aimin and Lotus and announced to them: "From tomorrow, we will officially start the annual vacation, which means that your classes will be cancelled from tomorrow, and will continue after the year. "
Although Han Aimin and Hehua are both self-consciously learning children, as students, they all like to have vacations, so when they heard her say that, they both secretly rejoiced.
Su Yue added another sentence when they laughed the most: "But before the holiday, you have to take a final exam, which is also the biggest exam this year. The first place in this exam will receive a reward: a stationery box and two dollars."
The smiles on Han Aimin and Hehua's faces froze, and they turned into nervousness, nervousness and anticipation. The nervousness was that they were going to take the exam, and they were afraid that they would fail. Wake up with a smile.
The so-called exam, that is, Su Yue produced a paper by herself, and the exam questions were all the content she taught them during this period to see how well they mastered it.
Su Yue usually teaches very strictly, Han Aimin and He Hua also work hard, so the teaching progress has been moving fast. According to the textbook, they have now completed the content of the third grade of elementary school, so the test paper Su Yue issued this time should be regarded as Final exam papers for the third grade of primary school.
The content of the Chinese paper test includes forming words, filling in verses, supplementing sentences, small comprehension, and a small composition of 100 words. And math papers are all calculations.
Han Aimin and Lotus were sitting on one side of the table, facing each other, each with a paper and a pen. After Su Yue announced the start of the exam, they concentrated on writing the paper with their heads down.
The Chinese test is two and a half hours long, and the math test is two hours. The Chinese test is followed by mathematics, and the test is completed in one morning.
Su Yue took off her watch and put it on the table so that the two of them could see the time at any time, and control the progress of writing questions by herself, so as not to finish the paper when the time came.
Not only Su Yue and her two children attached great importance to this exam, but the adults in the family also attached great importance to it. Old Mrs. Han would come out of the kitchen every once in a while to quietly look at the two children, and she smiled with relief when she saw that they were writing seriously with their heads down. laugh. The elderly are always happy to see their children study hard.
The second daughter of Han and the second daughter-in-law of Han also attached great importance, mainly to the second daughter of Han, because if Lotus can get the first place in this exam, she will get a stationery box and two dollars. Two dollars can be worth forty centimeters! And the stationery box is also very useful. After Xiaolei goes to school, he can use it, and he will save face when he takes it out.
So Han's second wife also rarely set foot on the old house. Standing next to the lotus flower, she looked more like an invigilator than Su Yue, carefully watching the lotus flower writing on the paper. Although she couldn't understand what was written, she did not forget Explain to Lotus: "Lotus, write well, don't make a mistake, you won't be the first place if you write wrong, and I won't take care of you when the time comes."
The lotus hand that wrote the test question paused and bit her lower lip.
Su Yue's face sank, and she said to Han's second daughter-in-law: "The second child, don't disturb the child's questions here. If you are here, even if you can write lotus flowers, you may not be able to write."
The second daughter-in-law of Han pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she was dragged away by the second child. "Walk around, you don't know how to read. What are you doing here to disturb the child? There are still a lot of things at home."
The second daughter-in-law of Han was dragged away reluctantly by him.
Su Yue rubbed the lotus head, "Don't be influenced by others, only you can decide your own path."
Lotus' eyes firmed, "um", and continued to write the title.
The exam was completed in the morning. There were only two students, and there were four papers in total. Su Yue corrected the papers during lunch.
Because Han Aimin has studied arithmetic, he has always been better at arithmetic than Lotus. This time, he got a perfect score in the math test, but Lotus got 95 points because of one wrong calculation question. However, Lotus's Chinese score has always been better than that of Han Aimin. This time, the Lotus language test scored 95 points, while Han Aimin's Chinese test only scored 88 points, so Han Aimin's total score was two points less than Lotus's. .
Lotus is the first place in this final exam.
When the results were announced, Lotus was so happy that she almost fainted. When she took the beautiful stationery box and two dollars from Su Yue, she couldn't help crying.
No one knows the huge shock in her heart at the moment. This is not a simple first place for her, but the confidence in her future life, which points her to a way forward.
She has not been valued by her parents since she was a child. She always seems to be insignificant at home, as if the only meaning of her survival is to take care of her younger brother and help her younger brother in the future.
But now she realizes that she doesn't exist for her younger brother, she can be very powerful, and can be praised by others, and she can be a great person by herself, she is not a money loser in her mother's mouth!
Su Yue understood Lotus's feelings, patted her back, wiped her tears again, and whispered to her: "Remember, you can be great too, as long as you work hard, you can become who you want to be, no need Don't care what other people say, only you can decide your own life."
Lotus nodded heavily, keeping this sentence firmly in his heart. And when you encounter difficulties in the future, take it out and think about it, and use this incentive to tide over the difficulties again and again.
Han Aimin was a little disappointed that he didn't get the first place, and he was an uncle who lost to his niece. He felt so embarrassed that he was embarrassed to meet anyone.
Su Yue patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter if you didn't get the first place in an exam, just try harder next time. How can a man take this small failure to heart."
Han Aiguo also patted his brother on the shoulder encouragingly and said, "Your sister-in-law is right, listen to your sister-in-law."
Han Aimin: …
Fortunately, on the first day of the official annual leave, the whole family started to get busy. Su Yue wanted to fry the Yuanzi, and Han Aimin was in charge of burning the fire in front of the stove, so he was too busy to lose time.
Especially when he was burning the fire, he could still eat the meat balls and tofu balls that were just out of the pot, so fragrant that he could not wait to bite off his tongue. One bite after another, his mouth was full of oil, and all the loss and shame were left behind. .
Twenty-eight fried dumplings, twenty-nine dishes, and New Year's Eve will come right after.
Early in the morning, the second child Han brought his second wife and three children from the new house to help. The second wife brought half a catty of meat and a bag of brown sugar to the old lady Han, "Mother, This year, the money for building a house has been used up, and there is nothing good at home, so don’t dislike it.”
As long as they have a heart, Mrs. Han is happy, and she doesn't care if it's not something. After taking the things, I turned around and went to the room to get a handful of candy and a few snacks, and a child shared some, making the children jumping for joy.
Han Laosan also brought Han Laosan's wife and Mao Mao over. Han Laosan's wife can also go to the ground now, as long as it is not strenuous exercise. But obviously she was too careful, she sat down on the chair as soon as she came, and didn't even bother to move her mouth. She didn't even say hello to Su Yue and Han Aiguo except for calling old Mrs. Han indifferently. .
Seeing her like this, Su Yue didn't bother to care about her. If she didn't say hello, then she wouldn't take the initiative to go up and say hello. She should be busy with her own business and treat her as if she didn't exist.
Old Mrs. Han was also angry, but she didn't care about her because she still had one in her stomach. Like Su Yue, she thought she didn't exist.
Han Laosan frowned and wanted to talk to her, but when it was a big New Year's day, he had to quarrel. It's okay to quarrel at home. Isn't arguing at my mother's place ruining my good mood for the New Year, so I just held back, myself He went up and asked Han Aiguo, "Brother, if you need any help, just call me."
Han Aiguo was not polite to him, "Mother and the others are going to cook, we will take care of the work, and we have to move some hay and firewood to the kitchen, and also wash the tableware and chopsticks that will be used later."
"Okay, I'll move!" The third Han was very happy that the elder brother was not polite to him, and happily ran to move the hay and firewood.
The third daughter-in-law of Han pouted secretly, this big fool, being ordered to do a job is like picking up a big bargain.
In the kitchen, Chef Su Yue, Mrs. Han and the second daughter-in-law of Han are in charge of fighting.
For this New Year's Eve dinner, Su Yue planned to cook ten dishes. In addition to the existing two dishes of meat balls and tofu balls, she also used extra tofu to cook a tofu and cabbage; this morning, the old lady got up and killed her A chicken, which has been raised for a year, is waiting to be killed during the Chinese New Year, and Su Yue used this chicken to make a braised chicken.
Because the meat was divided during the Chinese New Year, Su Yue also made a plate of braised pork, fried the meat into shredded pork, served with the noodles she made, and made a shredded pork in Beijing sauce.
The remaining four dishes are all vegetarian dishes, namely hot and sour shredded potato, eggplant stew, fish-flavored shredded pork and glutinous rice lotus root.
Han's second daughter-in-law stared straight on one side, and didn't move for a while.
Darling, is this meal made for the leaders
When did their villagers have such good dishes for the Chinese New Year? She has grown up so much, and the best meal in her memory was last year's New Year's Eve. At that time, the family hadn't split up, because the eldest brother had allowances in the army, and the family's conditions improved. The old lady made six dishes during the New Year's Eve dinner. The big dishes, two of which were meat, made her mouth full of oil that time, and it felt like there was never a better day.
As a result, she now realizes that last year's dishes were not so good, but this year's dishes are extremely good. I really didn't expect that the New Year would be so rich. She had never eaten some of these dishes, and the fragrance felt like it was going to get into her stomach.
It turns out that after the separation, the uncle and his mother lived so well together. It's a pity that their family ran out of money because of building a house. Can you have such a good day
She doesn't want to split up.
The old lady Han called the second daughter-in-law of Han several times in a row, "Why are you in a daze from the second family?"
The second daughter-in-law of Han came back to her senses, "Ah? Mother, what did you ask me to do?"
Mrs. Han pointed to the dish that was out of the pot, "The dish is ready, bring the dish to the table, and then let the second child put the tableware and chopsticks on the table. We are ready to eat."
"Oh." The second daughter-in-law of Han quickly put away her thoughts and went to the main room with the dishes to put on the table. It's just that the third daughter-in-law of Han was sitting at the table eating melon seeds and didn't know how to help, and she felt bad.
Why are they busy here and she is sitting and eating ready-made, she is not a Lafayette.
Feeling unhappy, Han's second wife said, "I said the third one is from the third family, go and put the tableware and chopsticks around, it doesn't take much effort."
The third daughter-in-law of Han continued to eat the melon seeds and threw the melon seed shells directly on the clean ground, and said casually: "I'm pregnant with a baby in my stomach. The doctor said that I need to rest, how can I work? Besides, my family loves the party is not here. What do you do, you don't need me to do it?"
Han's second daughter-in-law couldn't stand her acting like she was a queen mother just because she was pregnant with a child, and immediately rolled her eyes, "Is it possible that you can't move while pregnant with a child? You are so squeamish, if you give birth It's a girl movie, I see what you do."
The third daughter-in-law of Han immediately exploded when she heard this, and stood up abruptly, "What are you talking about? You are afraid that you are pregnant with two girls, so you can't wait for others to be pregnant with girls. Are you proud of this? "
The second daughter-in-law of Han was so excited by the 'two girls' movies that she argued with her: "You said that a son is a son? I think Bacheng is a girl!"
The third daughter-in-law of Han pinched her waist, and her voice became louder, "I tell you, our Zhao family girls are famous for having sons. I gave birth to a son in my first child, and this child is still a son! I am different from you. !"
The quarrel of the two people here attracted everyone. Before the second and third Han Han came up to speak, the old lady Han came over with a kitchen knife and slapped it on the table with a slap, "You two. If you quarrel with me again, just go back to me, and don't want to come to my old house for dinner in the future!"
