Show of Goodwill

The two of them chatted and worked, and by the time they got back it was already too late.

The bell rang for work, and each of them kicked three sweet potatoes and ate them.

Ordinary members of the cooperative are never active in work. They sit on the field ridge and wait for everyone to come before they get up to work.

Since Song Yi became the production team leader, ten model members will be evaluated every month, and the members will vote collectively, and the prizes will be practical daily necessities.

The money is all paid from the public account of the production team, and the purchaser goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it back and enter it into the account.

Last month, the prize for the model evaluation was a piece of soap, two ounces of sugar, and two ounces of sliced ​​noodles.

Soap that costs 35 cents a piece may not tempt the members.

The white sugar and dried noodles that require sugar stamps and food stamps are enough to make the members jealous.

Song Yi got the tickets from the brigade secretary. The production team didn't have any. The enthusiasm of the members for work was unprecedentedly high.

Some members of the commune were already greeting people in the field when the work bell rang.

The people who work in Lin Yuzhu's area work according to the clock. It's not that they don't want to fight, but they don't dare to fight.

When it was almost noon, the sky became brighter obviously, with a faint golden light.

The sun is about to rise.

As soon as the noon break bell rang, the members rushed home like a charge.

It had been raining for five or six days in a row, and mold began to grow on things in the house. I had to go back to wash and dry them quickly.

The water channels, wells and ditches in the village are full of women and children washing furniture.

It was very lively while talking about family issues and working at the same time.

Surrounded by the well at the bottom of the slope of the Lin family were the young men and young girls of the Song family, laughing and cursing constantly.

"San Dou! Do you want to be beaten?" Song Zhaodi threw the rag in her hand to the ground, covered her head and angrily got up and chased after her.

"Greedy ghost~long-tongued woman~shameless~a little bit~"

Song Sandou turned around and made a face while running, and bumped into Lin Yulan with a clang.

Snap!

A small clay pot fell on the gravel in the mud and broke into several pieces. The brown bits inside were scattered all over the ground.

"I'll beat you to death..." You naughty kid!

Lin Yulan stared angrily and grabbed Song Sandou's collar, swallowing the rest of the words back into her mouth, gritting her teeth in anger.

This broken jar made the already poor family even worse. It cost money to buy it!

Song Sandou knew he was in trouble, so he grabbed the thin bamboo tube in his hand and did not dare to make a sound.

"Oh, San Dou, you're dead. You're going to be tickled by a cow when you go back..." Song Laiyun stretched his neck and glanced at the debris on the ground, grinning with gloating.

"He deserves it! He should be beaten to death!" Song Zhaodi covered her head and gloated just like her brother.

If you break other people's things, your second aunt will definitely take off your pants and spank you with a cow-scratcher until your butt explodes!

The cattle scratcher is a tool used by farmers to drive cattle.

Choose a forked branch from the top of the bamboo, trim the excess branches, leaves and length, and use it to help the cattle drive away the bullies who specialize in sucking cow blood, so it is called Niuzizi in Hakka.

It can be used to drive cattle forward and turn when plowing and raking, or it can also be used to beat your own naughty children.

"Forget it, it's not intentional." Lin Yuzhu patted Song Sandou on the head, "Sandou, how can you hit someone on the head with a beep tube? What should I do if I blind my eyes? You know the ones who can't be cured."

If you are ten years old, you should pay attention to safety when playing. If you really hurt someone's eyes, their parents will come to the door and fight for their lives.

"I...have never hit anyone in the eye." Song Sandou retorted in a low voice.

The second brother said that Lin Yuzhu will be the brother-in-law's wife in the future, so don't offend her.

Otherwise, I will be kicked to death by my uncle.

I feel like I'm dead now...

Song Sandou trembled and ran away, "I, I will go home and ask my mother to pay you for the jar!"

He would rather be scolded and beaten by his mother than to be kicked to death by his uncle and given the hardest work.

Lin Yulan angrily grabbed the tea powder into a broken jar that could barely hold a little, squatted by the ditch and started washing the dustpan covered with mold.

For rural people who cannot afford soap, tea leaves extracted from Camellia oleifera fruit are the best detergents.

Lin Yuzhu put the fence into the ditch and soaked it, grabbed a handful of tea powder and sprinkled it on the stool board, then brushed it vigorously with a bamboo pot sweeper.

I was thinking that if the rainy season was over, I would find an early morning to take all the quilts, sheets, pillowcases, and pillow towels at home to the river to wash.

Song Zhaodi came early and had almost washed her things, so she secretly glanced at Lin Yuzhu.

Unexpectedly, after I scolded her and pushed her again yesterday, she actually helped her give her three fights.

I felt awkward and embarrassed.

She carried the bucket and walked to her side as if nothing had happened, quickly put down the jar of camellia oleifera, and ran away quickly.

When Song Laidi saw her sister placing the jar, she licked her lips nervously, rushed over and put down her jar of tea powder, rushed back, picked up the wooden table stand and ran away.

"What kind of operation is this?" Lin Yulan looked at their running backs with a confused look on her face, "Are you a sand sculpture..."

"You can understand it as a sign of goodwill." Lin Yuzhu continued to wash things calmly, "I can't help but apologize, so I look very stupid."

"Hey~ Who cares about these idiots?" Lin Yulan curled her lips.

Based on her experience of living here for a day and a half, there are three types of people in the village: the Song family who have a good attitude towards her, the Liu family who have a bad attitude towards her, and others who are lukewarm.

The washed items were placed on a bench and set up on a long bamboo drying rack to cool down.

The sun dam in front of the house is made with more care than the house.

The floor at home is still mud, but the mud floor is tamped down for the sunba, and sand, gravel, broken porcelain pieces, and broken tiles are mixed with lime slurry to harden it into a smooth sunba.

After all, it mainly serves food.

Food crops such as rapeseed, beans, rice, and potatoes must be dried on the field.

While the two sisters were busy, a woman of about thirty-five or sixty-six years old came over from the other side of the path.

She has curved eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, a small mouth, and a shiny black braid on her chest. Her skin is paler than that of most women in the village. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are only more noticeable when she smiles.

She looks petite and exquisite, and full of energy.

She is only a few years younger than Fang Shuhui, but their status is completely different.

He was wearing a pair of lake blue khaki clothes that were still new, with creases that had just been taken out, and very few patches.

This is a formal outfit that is only worn when going out, something I would not wear on a daily basis.

"Showing things, you are so diligent~" Sister-in-law Song has crooked eyebrows and a brisk tone of voice. You can tell at a glance that she is a sweet-tongued woman.

"Yes, Sister-in-law Song, have you had dinner?" Lin Yuzhu put down the things in her hands and greeted her with a smile.

"Have eaten early. I came here to talk to you about something. Where is your mother?" She smiled broadly, and looked at Lin Yuzhu with a pair of smiling eyes. She walked straight to the main room without stopping.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask you, a young lady like you, this matter directly, but I can't help it. I won't tell you so many rules. Just let your mother sit aside and be present."

"Oh, by the way, my debt collector broke your pot. Can I buy a new one to compensate you when I go to the fair? I've already beaten him, and he's kneeling on a pole at home right now.

!”

Lin Yuzhu sighed in her heart that Song Ersao and Song Erdou were indeed mother and son. Chatting with them didn't have to worry about being left out in the cold.

"It's an old jar, it's not a big deal. There is another one at home, let's use it first." Lin Yuzhu politely refused.

Regardless of the grain that the Song family donated to her family, yesterday she got half a liter of rice, so why bother arguing with the child about that jar?

"That won't work. I'll take him to the mountains to chop alfalfa seeds at night. If I don't earn enough money for a jar, I won't let him sleep!" Sister-in-law Song snorted angrily, "Don't he like to play with beeps? Let him chop as much as he can.

!”

Lin Yuzhu raised her eyebrows in surprise, there was something in Song Ersao's words.
Chapter completed!
