Because Ji Lan wanted to firmly grasp Xu Xiangqian's heart, she made great efforts on this matter. On the day she returned home, she pestered the captain for a long time, and successfully asked Xu Xiangdong for a pig weed job. In order not to let people talk about it, the captain gave 5 work points a day.
Of course Xu Xiangdong is satisfied, and Su Yuanyuan is also in charge of killing pigweed! He gave Ji Lan a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law is really amazing, this kind of relationship is very good!"
Liu Shuying patted him on the back and said with a smile, "Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly, and go to work tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she pulled Xu Xiaona up and told him, "Nana, go back to school and study hard, don't go out if you have nothing to do. School gate. I put ten eggs and a can of pickles in your schoolbag, remember to eat."
Xu Xiangdong also said: "Don't starve yourself outside, buy whatever you want, don't save, the little girl has to grow fatter to look good."
Listening to their earnest advice, Xu Xiaona nodded repeatedly, promising that she would eat more and not save. Although Xu Xiangqian didn't say anything, he looked at Xu Xiaona with concern. Only Ji Lan, listening to them talking endlessly, her expression froze. This is ten eggs, and I don't know how much money was stuffed. Didn't these all come from Xu Xiangqian? It's really smooth for them to use other people's things to be a good person, but Xu Xiangqian let others take advantage of her, which really pissed her off!
Xu Xiangdong glanced at Ji Lan's expression, and drank the sugar water leisurely. When Liu Shuying finally said enough, everyone went back to each other to have a good rest. The next day Xu Xiangdong sent Xu Xiaona to the bus, and hurried back to work on the back hillside with a bamboo basket on his back and a scythe.
The hillside is very wide, and the hogweed harvesters are far away from each other. Occasionally, they chat and work together with acquaintances, but except for Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan, the others are all children in their early ten years old.
Xu Xiangdong greeted with a smile, "Comrade educated youth, are you busy? Can you adapt to our educated youth site?"
Su Yuanyuan glanced at him speechlessly, "Comrade Xu Xiangdong, I've gotten used to it a long time ago." She glanced behind him, "Are you... are you here to fight pigweed?"
Xu Xiangdong nodded, and said naturally: "I don't know how to farm, so it's good to do this. Hey, I haven't done this before. If you don't know comrades, you can teach me. Good comrades need to help each other, you say Right?"
The children nearby looked this way and walked a little further unconsciously. Such a grown-up doesn't even know how to shoot pigweed. I heard he's a bum, so stay away from him.
Su Yuanyuan picked up the sickle with a smile, and began to teach Xu Xiangdong how to work hard.
"Your gesture is wrong, too loose or too tight."
"The direction of hugging the grass is also wrong, you have to row your legs like this."
"Bend, bend again..."
"No, no... not yet..."
All morning Xu Xiangdong heard her saying "wrong" and "wrong" endlessly, even if he did it right, it would still be "wrong".
After finally filling the bamboo basket, Xu Xiangdong's face was flushed, his head was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were soaked. On the other hand, the little fox was refreshed and smiled beside him. Xu Xiangdong took off his clothes and wiped them with a towel, and said helplessly, "I am satisfied now? How can there be a daughter-in-law like you? You don't even know how to feel sorry for me."
With a pretty face, Su Yuanyuan said solemnly: "Comrade Xu Xiangdong, if you talk nonsense again, I will sue you for being a hooligan! We are just good comrades who help each other, and we have just known each other not long ago."
"Okay, okay, I just met, in order to thank the educated youth comrades for teaching me how to beat pigweed, I'll give you an egg."
Xu Xiangdong took out a boiled egg as if by magic, stuffed it into Su Yuanyuan's hand, and slowly walked back with two baskets of pigweed, "The pigweed is exposed to the wind and sun, and it's still very dirty. I've seen it for a while." Let's search for other clerical jobs, scorekeeper and accountant are all very good, what do you think?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded while eating eggs, "It's good, but this kind of work should not be done by educated youths. Haven't you seen so many educated youths working honestly to earn work points?"
Xu Xiangdong smiled, of course the educated youth can't order those things, but if you marry into Xu's family, wouldn't you be a villager? The two passed by the field, and someone looked at the two bamboo baskets of pigweed in surprise, and asked, "Dongzi, did you hit this? Did you finish it so early?"
Xu Xiangdong nodded, and replied enthusiastically: "Thanks to the educated youth comrades who taught me, the people from the city taught me clearly, and I understood it as soon as I heard it."
Everyone who heard it secretly slandered that beating hogweed is a child's job. Is there anything to be proud of when you learn it? But thinking about it, this is Xu Xiangdong, so it's normal. Xu's bum started to go to work, which made many people talk about it as a joke, joking and betting that he would not be able to last for three days, but it turned out that Xu Xiangdong went to work early every day, neither lazy nor cheating, and did not go around after work Hanging around, he seemed quite honest and diligent.
But the more this happens, the more abnormal it becomes. Since when has this kid been so honest? Isn't it bad to hold back something
After everyone paid attention for a few days, a few daughters-in-law figured it out, "Xu Xiangdong seems to always go to Su Yuanyuan. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Su Yuanyuan?"
At this moment, the big guy suddenly realized that Su Yuanyuan is the most eye-catching girl in this village. She has a tender face that can squeeze out water, a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be able to seduce the soul, and she is also wearing two braids and wearing clothes that do not show her waist. Clothes, only Su Yuanyuan is beautiful at a glance! I don't know how many men in the village are staring at it. If Su Yuanyuan didn't go back to the educated youth spot after killing pigweed every day, and didn't give others a chance, maybe the big guys would all go to show their courtesy.
The youngest son of the Xu family is already handsome, and he never looks at girls in the village on weekdays. Now that he meets a more handsome girl, he must have fallen in love with him. live
After the big guys figured it out, they talked a lot, most of them laughed at the two of them as a natural pair. Ji Lan also muttered a lot, one Xu Xiangdong is ignorant, and the other Su Yuanyuan is coquettish and can't work, how can these two live together and die of starvation? What's the use of being handsome? It can't be eaten as a meal.
But she laughed and thought, this is wrong!
If Xu Xiangdong married Su Yuanyuan home, wouldn't she and Xu Xiangqian have to raise another child to eat? In the future, three people in the family are waiting to be raised. Although the mother-in-law is capable, they still have to provide for the elderly. What is this called? No, Su Yuanyuan must not be let in, Xu Xiangdong is already like this, if he wants to marry, he can only marry someone who works hard and dare not be lazy!
Ji Lan made up her mind, and hurried home to test Liu Shuying, "Mom, when Dong Zi first came back, didn't you say you wanted to show him a wife? Are you ready?"
Liu Shuying looked at her in surprise, "Why did you think of this? I was worried when I mentioned this. I asked someone a few times, but at first glance, I didn't think I was good enough for Dongzi. Our Dongzi is so handsome. The young man looks like a city man when he stops there, so he has to pick a good one, and he can't wrong me."
Ji Lan choked up many words, is Xu Xiangdong not good enough for others? I'm afraid I'm not joking! As far as Xu Xiangdong's virtue is concerned, if someone is willing to be with him, he should be secretly happy, and he dares to pick, this vision, this sense of superiority, it all depends on having a good big brother!
Ji Lan lowered her head and curled her lips, picked a few beans, and said: "There are still a lot of good girls in our village, but Mom, don't blame me for speaking badly. Dongzi only earns 5 work points a day now. Those who want to marry girls People are also worried about the girl's well-being, right? Why don't you see if I go to my dad to change Dongzi's job and let him behave, then it will be easy to say kiss."
"What? Do you mean that others despise Dongzi? Did someone say something to you? Did you scold him back? Why do you say that you, a sister-in-law, look down on your uncle? Even if Dongzi is useless, there is no such thing. What about me? Our old Xu’s family is well-off, and whoever dislikes and refuses to marry will pull them down, as if I begged them not to do it?” Liu Shuying, who had never picked a good daughter-in-law, was immediately annoyed when she heard that others disliked her precious son. It exploded. She knows how capable her son is. If it weren't for the black market or something, she couldn't bring it up, she would like to use the loudspeaker to spread the word all over the village.
The boredom of not being able to share good things with others made Liu Shuying lose interest in talking, so she picked up a pot of beans and entered the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Ji Lan also followed, stood there and said: "Mom, don't be angry, I didn't mean that, I just want Dongzi to find a good girl. He is so old, it's better to work hard in the field than with children." We are better than pigweed."
Liu Shuying frowned and looked at her, "Eh? I said what's going on with you today? You've been beating around the bush for a long time, what do you want to say? Do you think Dongzi earns less work points? You follow the forward The work points are all in your own hands, I don’t want any, so how much work points Dongzi earns is none of your business?"
Ji Lan blushed and hurriedly waved her hands, "Mom, you misunderstood, how could I think that way, then who am I?"
"Then what are you doing, talk about things if you have something to do, get out of the way if you have nothing to do, don't delay my cooking." Liu Shuying didn't save face at all when she was angry, let alone someone she had never liked.
Ji Lan bit her lip, scolding her half to death in her heart, but still said bravely: "Mom, have you heard any gossip these days? They all said, that Dongzi went hunting pigweed all day long, so he fell in love with it." Educated youth Su Yuanyuan."
"What?" Liu Shuying raised her head in surprise, her eyes widened, "Dongzi fell in love with Yuanyuan? When did it happen? Why don't I know?"
"Maybe they were afraid that it would be bad to say in front of you, so they carried your back."
Liu Shuying frowned thoughtfully, picked up a rag and wiped the water droplets on her hands, and after a while, suddenly smiled, "Oh, this is a great thing! Why do you do this behind my back? I want to If I knew it, I would have gone to propose a marriage, no, I have to ask the two of them, it would be great if it could be done."
Liu Shuying walked out in such a hurry that she didn't even hear Ji Lan calling her. Ji Lan stood at the gate of the courtyard with a gloomy face, pondered for a moment, then walked quickly in one direction. Judging by Liu Shuying's appearance, she must want Su Yuanyuan to come in. Considering Liu Shuying's attitude towards Su Yuanyuan like her own daughter, is there still room for her in this family in the future? No matter what, I have to find a way out.
