Zhang Chunnuan is actually a little worried about whether there will be any problems with using money to buy work points.

After all, the situation she had learned before seemed not allowed in this era.

"Is this in compliance with the regulations?"

Hearing Zhang Chunnuan ask this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Lixue was asked by the deputy secretary to fill out a form. He turned to her and said:

"You know you are worried now? What did you say when I said that it was not in compliance with the regulations for a family to dig ditches!"

Zhang Chunnuan curled his lips, you said it didn't comply with the regulations, why didn't I come to the team to solve it?

Upon seeing this, the deputy secretary smiled and said: "Comrade Zhang Chunnuan, you can rest assured that we will not do anything that does not comply with the regulations.

The organization has always encouraged members to engage in side jobs to generate income in addition to completing production tasks.

I remember that your Shanjiao Village production team was burning charcoal and selling it last winter, which was also a form of income generation."

Zhang Chunnuan said, "I understand."

In short, cultivate the land during farming time and make money during leisure time.

Also, if farmers really don’t have any money on hand and can’t afford needles, thread, matches, and salt, how can they still live?

Last year, because only Father Shen worked in the fields to earn work points, the Shen family only received basic food rations for two people.

I heard that some families with a large and capable labor force were allocated more than 100 yuan in addition to the basic rations.

Where did that money come from? It came from the production team’s sideline business!

Now Zhang Chunnuan signed up for Father Shen and handed over 30 yuan to the production team. The team will record 10 work points for him every day throughout the year, and they will calculate it again when the grain is distributed at the end of the year.

After figuring out what was going on, Zhang Chunnuan simply shoved the money into Zhou Lixue's hand in front of the brigade leaders and walked out as if nothing was wrong.

As he walked, he said goodbye to the cadres of the brigade one by one: "Secretary, deputy secretary, village director, deputy director, thank you. I have to go back and make breakfast for my father. You guys are busy first."

After saying that, he just walked out of the brigade office.

When she saw Yang Lihua, she smiled and said hello: "Where is Sister-in-law Lihua waiting for the captain? He is still busy inside, I will go back first~"

Yang Lihua: "..."

The couple were obviously here after her, but why did they seem to have nothing to do with her?

Zhang Chunnuan was anxious to go home and tell Father Shen and his mistress the good news. He didn't look at Yang Lihua's expression seriously, walked away, and walked anxiously towards the mountain foot village.

At the same time, Father Shen, who had suffered from insomnia and squinted for a while until dawn, woke up from his dream.

After waking up, he lay in bed in a daze for a while. When he heard the sound of someone going out, he got up and went out to check.

Just in time, he saw Zhang Chunnuan's figure disappearing outside the courtyard gate and then returning to the house. The cold pot and stove in the kitchen made him feel worried.

Nuan'er prepares breakfast at home as soon as she wakes up every morning. When she is worried about food, she always chants "Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner."

What made her go out without eating breakfast?

Father Shen was anxious and wanted to catch up to see what was going on, but he was also worried about breaking Zhang Chunnuan's secret.

He always knew that Nuan'er had a secret, but he didn't dare to tell it openly, let alone explore it.

Father Shen had a premonition that once he knew Zhang Chunnuan's secret, he might lose this family forever.

Although this family has no blood relatives, it is an extremely warm home.

Father Shen sat on the threshold of the hall door, took out his pipe, stuffed tobacco into the pot, and looked out from time to time.

After filling up the tobacco, he took out a box of wrinkled matches from his pocket.

"Bah——" The fire light lit up.

He put the pot close to the slightly blue flame of the match and was about to light the tobacco when a disapproving voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Grandpa, you secretly smoke again! Auntie said last night that you are not allowed to smoke again in the future, why do you light up again!"

The mistress appeared behind Father Shen and snatched the pipe while muttering:

"Grandpa, I won't tell my aunt this time, but if I see it again, I will definitely tell her!"

After the third son took the pipe away, he realized that the smoke of fireworks and the aroma of food that used to be there every morning were missing from the house.

He trotted into the kitchen, showing no sign that he had just started cooking.

Then he ran to the door of Zhang Chunnuan's room and asked in a lowered voice: "Aunt, are you awake? Aunt..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Father Shen: "Your aunt went out for something."

Although the third son is not yet 9 years old, at this age, he may only play with toys and mobile phones in future generations, but after experiencing the suicide of his only relative and being adopted and abused, he also understands some things in the world.

Knowing that Zhang Chunnuan had gone out for something, the mistress immediately reacted: "Did Aunt go to see Uncle Shuan Zi about digging ditches?"

"It's possible!" Father Shen slapped his thigh and stood up, "Why didn't I think of it? My mistress, you stay at home and look after your younger brothers and sisters, while I go find your aunt!"

"What are you looking for me for?"

As soon as Father Shen finished speaking, he was overheard by Zhang Chunnuan who came through the door.

She walked toward her grandfather and grandson, who were sitting in rows on the threshold of the main room, with a questioning look on her face, "What are you doing sitting here?"

When Father Shen saw that she was back, he was about to speak when the excited mistress preempted him:

"Auntie, let's sit here and wait for you! Grandpa was about to smoke again just now. Fortunately, I saw it. Look, this is Grandpa's pipe!"

The mistress reacted very quickly and stood up and walked to Zhang Chunnuan to offer the treasure.

"Dad, how did you promise me?" Zhang Chunnuan looked at the pipe filled with shredded tobacco in the mistress's hand, and looked helplessly at Father Shen: "Dad, I don't really want you to smoke, but you can't smoke anymore.

So much."

She picked up the cigarette and walked up to Father Shen and handed it to him, "I have already agreed with the team and the brigade that you and the third son can go to Xiahe Village with me.

When the time comes, I will dig the ditch, and you guys will help me take care of Shiqi and August. The brigade said that it will only take a month to dig the ditch, and we will come back then. The younger brother will go to school, and Dad, you can continue to take care of Shiqi and August at home.

August."

Father Shen took the pipe and paused. He did not expect that Zhang Chunnuan would go out early in the morning and come back with such news.

The third son followed Zhang Chunnuan step by step. Hearing this, he asked worriedly: "Auntie, where should we live? Also, what should we do with our old hens, lambs and pigs?"

Zhang Chunnuan thought of it on the way back and answered with confidence.

"I will go to Xiahe Village soon to see if I can find an empty house and pack it up for us to live in.

As for the livestock at home, I will stew the remaining old hens tonight, and I will leave the pigs and lambs to someone to take care of them for another month, so don’t worry!"

Father Shen & Mistress: "..."

We are not worried!

Why should you live in someone else's house for a month if you are told to live there for a month?

There are also several sheep and two pigs at home. How can we entrust others to take care of them? Don’t they have to work?
