Li Xiulan answered: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the West Courtyard don't know what they are arguing about all day long. They have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. They are really energetic."
Liu Yuemin curled her lips: "Then Liu Dabao can't change his habit of eating shit. Any woman who marries him will be unlucky for the rest of her life. I heard that the team leader just paid her salary and went straight to the card game without even going home."
In the end, he lost all his money in two hands. It must have been Widow Liu who was protecting her again, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to pinch him."
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, smoking, any one of them would make it difficult for the family, not to mention that Liu Dabao also had a lot of problems.
Everyone sighed for a while and then continued to work on their hands.
…
In the Liu family, Widow Liu pointed at her daughter-in-law Yue Hongmei and yelled: "Don't take a pee and take care of yourself. With your virtues, our family Dabao will burn high incense if you ask for it, not to mention you have a bottle of oil."
, I told you if you want to live it, just let it go. If you don't want to live it, just get out of here."
It was wrong for Liu Dabao to play with money and lose, but Yue Hongmei actually beat Liu Dabao directly. Her son had never beaten her before. This prodigal old lady actually bullied her own father. She must not be allowed to tolerate it.
Yue Hongmei replied rudely: "How do I look? I think it's okay. I'm definitely a hundred times prettier than you. What about raising a child? If the man hadn't died and I had a child, how could I have looked for that wimp Liu Dabao?
Don't put too much pressure on your face. I just want to find a man to live my life. Look at the dirty things you did. I'm ashamed of you if you tell me! If you want to raise a man, go out and look for him.
If I see you bringing the man back, I will kick you out together."
Being pointed at and scolded by her daughter-in-law, Widow Liu was very angry: "This is my house and it's not your turn to be the master of the house. Hurry up and pack up your pile of rags and get out of here."
"Your son is sleeping with me and you still want me to get out? There is no door. If you can't bear it, just leave. There really is a son like a mother. How much has Liu Dabao been spoiled by you?"
Don’t tell me that if I beat him today, I’ll chop off his fingers if I see him gambling again!”
"Why did our old Liu family marry such a loser like you..." After scolding and scolding, she was no match for this daughter-in-law in a fight. Widow Liu slapped her thigh angrily and started howling.
…
The Gu family and several sisters-in-law prepared dinner, the men also came back after collecting the grain, and the children who were playing wildly outside were also called back home.
Looking at Ruirui's rosy face, Chen Lishu took off his hat and scarf and wiped his head, face and hands with a hot towel before inviting him to the table for dinner.
Because there were so many people, the whole family was divided into two tables. The adults were on the floor, while the children used the kang table.
"Today, my dad and my fourth son, I went to the commune next door to collect grain. I heard that they have officially notified us that the land will be allocated. I guess our end will be soon." Gu Xingguo shared the good news with his family with some excitement.
Zhang Xiaoju: "I met my dad and Uncle Sun at work today. They drove the carriage early in the morning and said they were going to the commune for a meeting. The results should be available tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Now that there is news from the commune next door, those things are very close to each other, and the whole family is very excited.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, Liu Yuemin couldn't wait to go back to the house to inquire about the harvest situation.
"How's it going? How much grain did you harvest today?"
Gu Xingmin was lying on the kang teasing his daughter when he heard her ask and immediately sat up straight: "Guess how much grain I collected today?"
Liu Yuemin was a little unsure: "Two hundred catties?"
Gu Xingmin shook his head: "Guess again, guess too much."
"Dad and eldest brother collected less than 400 kilograms. Could it be that you collected 500 pounds?"
Gu Xingmin lay back with some pride: "That's about right."
Originally, he thought that Liu Dashan had a sneaky character and did not want to cooperate with them at all. Who knew that the several companies he contacted this time had a lot of food in their hands.
Liu Yuemin couldn't see his arrogant look, so she stretched out her hand to push him: "I was unwilling to let you work alone at the beginning, and I didn't want to think about whose credit it was."
"Of course it's yours. By the way, didn't you like a pair of silver earrings? I'll buy them for you as soon as I make money this year."
Now that gold is not allowed to be traded privately, it is already very good to be able to buy silver jewelry.
"You want to get rid of me with just one pair of earrings? You need to buy another pair of silver bracelets so that you can save them for our Feng'er's dowry in the future."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
On the other side, Zhang Xiaoju was also discussing matters with Gu Xingye.
"This morning when I was cooking, I mentioned the supply and marketing cooperative. The third sister-in-law said that we could contract the supply and marketing cooperative, but I always feel that this matter is not justified. You said that the sales are not good now, let's add more money to it.
, isn’t it just compensation?”
"Now that Third Sister-in-law has said it, I think we can definitely make money from this. If you don't have time, you can ask Third Sister-in-law again. The work in the fields is too tiring and I can't bear to let you do it. If you can contract the supply and marketing cooperative, you can always do it."
Done."
Zhang Xiaoju was quite reluctant to quit. After listening to Gu Xingye's words, she nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Sister-in-law San carefully when I have time tomorrow."
…
It was already dark when Zhang Changhe and Sun Yuzhu returned from the commune meeting. Although they were tired and hungry, they both looked very excited.
The matter of household responsibility has finally been settled!
The two of them went home and had a quick bite, then summoned the other two team captains and the village accountant to sit together and discuss the specific matters of land allocation. It was not until about ten o'clock at night that they went home to rest.
In the afternoon of the next day, the radio that Murakami had not used for a long time suddenly rang: "Attention all villagers. After hearing the radio, everyone came to the brigade headquarters to discuss the land allocation. Neighbors on the left and right who heard it or not were notified.
Dividing land is a big deal..."
"Mom, did you hear what was being shouted on the loudspeaker outside? Let's go to the brigade headquarters to discuss the land allocation." Liu Yuemin dropped her work excitedly and ran out of her room.
What is the most important thing for farmers? It must be the land. When the land is about to be divided into their own hands, no one can be excited.
Soon Zhang Qin and Chen Lishu also came out of their room.
"Your father and the others are not here, let's go over first and see what the explanation is." Li Xiulan said, putting on her shoes and getting off the kang.
When other families in the village heard that their land was going to be divided, they suddenly exploded.
In the early years, the landlords and Lao Cai were criticized not only because they took the land as their own, but now times have changed, and they did not expect that one day this land would still be theirs.
"Did you hear it? The loudspeaker said that the land was going to be divided. This is something I never even dreamed of."
"No, let's go there quickly. We still don't know how to divide it up. If it's a first-come-first-served basis and we're late and all the good lots are given to others, we'll be blind."
"Haha, then run away quickly."
Soon the villagers arrived at the brigade headquarters chatting and laughing. When Chen Lishu and others arrived, the courtyard of the brigade headquarters was already full of people.
