It's almost July, the hottest time of the year. Jiang Xinyu also has a layer of sweat on her forehead under the straw hat she wears. She has been busy in the drying field for a whole day and stopped before she finished dividing it at noon. The members
I have to go to work in the afternoon and will continue working in the evening.
The food from Jiang Xinyu's family was sent back by Chen Yi. Comrade Chen Xiuyun had not returned yet, so Widow Wang asked her to go to her house for dinner.
During the busy farming season, Widow Wang, a professional pig farmer, also had to go to the fields to harvest crops. After she was busy, she still focused on the brigade's pig farm, which was considered more leisurely than other members on weekdays.
This was Jiang Xinyu's first time to have dinner at Widow Wang's house. These days, having others eat at home is a very close relationship.
While Widow Wang was cutting chili peppers, Jiang Xinyu peeled off a candy and stuffed it into her mouth while she was talking.
Widow Wang was caught off guard and took a bite of something sweet. She was happy in her heart, but she said, "I don't like sweets. You can keep it for yourself and eat it slowly."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Who doesn't like sweet food? If there is something delicious, we will eat it together."
Widow Wang has a beautiful heart. Her future daughter-in-law is good-looking, not stingy, and knows how to care for others. How could she be dissatisfied?
At this time she completely ignored that her son had brought the candy back.
"Go, go, it's too hot in the kitchen. Go under the shed to cool down. The meal will be ready in a moment."
Chen Yi used his bicycle to help others carry food. When he came back on his bicycle, he patted the dirt on his body and washed his face again.
"Are you about to graduate?" He sat next to her and slowly rolled up one of his sleeves, revealing his wheat-colored arms.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I'll graduate next Wednesday."
The teacher also informed that someone would be invited to the school to take graduation photos. Students who want photos should prepare eighty cents. Jiang Xinyu will definitely pay for this money and keep more old photos. Looking back at the photos, she will think of her green years in school.
Pretty good too.
"I went to the county to study before, and I heard that the transportation company was going to open another line and might be recruiting people."
Jiang Xinyu asked: "Can I still be a driver?"
Chen Yixiao said: "You can't be a driver, but you can sell tickets and work as a conductor. I will pay attention to this matter. You are an advanced member who has been published in the provincial newspaper. If you sign up, you will have more advantages than others. This
If it doesn’t work, just ask for other questions. If there’s no job, just hang out in the village.”
Nowadays, all passenger cars are owned by the state, and the transportation companies in the county are under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security, so the reputation of the progressive elements should still be of some use.
Widow Wang quickly fried an egg with green peppers, and fried an eggplant with persimmons and chili peppers. The soup was very thick with gravy, and it was covered with hand-rolled noodles that had been soaked in cold water. The taste was quite good.
.
Widow Wang did not treat Jiang Xinyu badly during this meal. Normally, a stir-fried vegetable and noodles would be enough, but she scrambled an extra egg.
After eating, Jiang Xinyu took the initiative and said, "I'll wash the dishes."
Widow Wang waved her hand, "You go home. It's time to feed the pigs and dogs at home. We've been tired all morning. Go home and rest for a while. Don't worry about bowls or anything like that."
Jiang Xinyu was surprised.
She even took the initiative to work, but Widow Wang refused to give in. She suddenly had great confidence in the future relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Widow Wang actually didn't think about anything else. It was the first time Jiang Xinyu had dinner at her house. She was a spoiled guest, so how could she be allowed to wash the dishes and do the work? Is it decent to let her do the work before anyone even came in?
"How come? I can't just eat and not do anything..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yi interrupted her, "You go back and have a rest. I'll wash the pots and dishes."
Jiang Xinyu glanced at him and asked, has he ever washed dishes before?
"Aunt Wang, the little piggy has diarrhea, go and see what's going on." The secretary's daughter at the gate of the courtyard called Widow Wang.
Widow Wang responded and left in a hurry.
Jiang Xinyu planned to leave, but stayed to watch Chen Yi wash the pots and dishes.
His working posture is skillful and neat, and he doesn't look like a novice at all. It seems that he has done a lot of dishes since he came here.
"In the future, do you want to live in a house inside or in a house in the courtyard?"
he asked suddenly.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the layout of his home, which was very similar to the current courtyard layout of her home.
"I'm in the hospital."
This answer did not surprise Chen Yi. There are three rooms in the front, with the main room in the middle and a bedroom on the left and right. Although the two rooms are separated by one, they are still under the same roof and are not soundproofed.
He expected that she wouldn't like her words to be heard, and he happened to think so too. It was quite embarrassing to make some noise in the dead of night.
Chen Yi was planning to buy some red bricks to pave the mud floor in the house, and then build a small room to have a special bathing area.
Although the two of them will not live in this small courtyard for a long time, they will still live in it for more than half a year, and they need to keep it tidy. It is necessary to improve her quality of life on the existing basis.
The topic suddenly turned to where to live in the future, and some pornographic waste appeared in Jiang Xinyu's mind at an inappropriate time, "I'm going back."
Before he could react, she ran away quickly. Chen Yi looked at her back and chuckled.
Jiang Xinyu went home and fed the mouthed animals at home, then went to bed to take a nap.
While sleeping in a daze, I heard the sound of the courtyard door being knocked.
After Chen Xiuyun settled Jiang Yuzhu, she went to see Jiang Zhenzhen with a piece of meat and informed Jiang Zhenzhen that Jiang Yuzhu had become a salesperson at Xinhua Bookstore.
Zhang Hua apologized to his mother and cooked a few dishes to entertain her. Before leaving, he brought some wild bayberries as a gift from others.
When Jiang Xinyu opened the door for Chen Xiuyun, she took the straw bag and was shocked when she saw the bayberry inside.
She really likes eating this food, it is sour, sweet and juicy.
Chen Xiuyun handed her the straw bag and said, "I'll go to the captain's house to return the car. You put your things in."
Jiang Xinyu's drowsiness disappeared and she couldn't wait to wash a few bayberries and eat them.
There was a bayberry tree in the yard where her grandfather lived, and the fruits she harvested were large and juicy. Bayberry was also one of her favorite fruits.
But the wild bayberry was so sour that her face wrinkled up.
Comrade Chen Xiuyun came back soon. He saw the grain piled under the shed and put the things away. There was not much wheat, more potatoes, and some peanuts. The most was corn. This was last year's reserve grain stock.
, when the corn is ripe in a few days, it will be the big head, and there will be sweet potatoes and other things, which can be regarded as serious rations.
Jiang Xinyu put on a straw hat, ate bayberry and went to the brigade's public room.
In the courtyard of the public house, Zhang Tiezhu was messing around.
"It used to be 70%, but now 60% can make people eat enough. It should be the same as before, otherwise you are also violating national regulations!"
The captain and secretary looked at this shameless person with dark faces.
Seeing Jiang Xinyu come in, Zhang Tiezhu got even more excited, "Did you make a mistake in your calculation? Why is my share this year less than last year? Young people are just not good at it. How can you let a young girl do this kind of thing?"
