Not long after, Yan Bugui and Liu Heping came with a stool, and the women from the three families gathered together and sat under the eaves, chatting while doing needlework.
As soon as the rain came, the temperature dropped rapidly. It was very comfortable to sit outside in a single shirt. It was a autumn rain and a cooler one. When the rain stopped, even if the temperature rose, it would not be much hotter.
"Erheng, did you build a toilet in the yard with your new house? I think the work team has dug underground pipes in the past two days."
"Well, I discussed it with Captain Yang at that time and he said he could build it."
"Oh, this is great!" Yan Bugui patted his thigh. People living in the alley have been using the toilet for a long time. They may dream of having a toilet in their yard.
"But Erheng, will that be interesting?"
"I asked it to be washed into water. Although it may taste a little more or less, it should be less. At that time, it will definitely be used by my own family. Don't worry too much about hygiene."
"That's it, that's it, it's all my family members will definitely pay attention to it."
The three aunts and Mrs. Liu also heard what they said here, and they were all envious.
Fang Xiaoya didn't say much. No matter what she said at this time, people would think it was a show-off, and they could only keep giggling.
"Xiaoya, do you still have any extra cotton tickets in your family? I want to make cotton jackets and trousers for each of my two children this year."
"Sister-in-law, how much do you need?"
"Well... just one pound is enough, I still have some there."
"Is it enough, sister-in-law?"
"Enough, it's enough for the child."
"Okay, I'll take it now."
Seeing that Fang Xiaoya put down the work in her hand and was about to stand up, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Xiaoya, wait a moment."
"What's wrong, sister-in-law, what else do you need?"
"I don't need anything else. I want to say that if I return a cotton ticket, it may take a little longer. You also know that we send fewer tickets every year."
She and Liu Heping can send up at most half a pound of cotton tickets every year. If you borrow one pound, you have to pay it back for two years, and they will not use it at all in the past two years.
You have to explain clearly to others in advance, and don’t let the relationship between the two companies be bad for a pound of cotton tickets.
"Well, I think it's a matter. Don't worry, just pay it back if you have it."
"Thank you, Xiaoya!"
"You're welcome, it's just right at home."
The three aunts on the side actually wanted to borrow some, not only cotton tickets, but also cloth tickets, but she was really embarrassed to speak. Their family is Yan Bugui, and although the office will issue households to residents in the jurisdiction every year.
Some tickets, but that's really pitiful.
If their family borrows someone else's ticket, it's really hard to say when they can pay it back.
So even if she was willing, she couldn't open her face and opened her mouth. She could only sigh silently in her heart, thinking that her husband was right, and she still had to deduct it. Where to deduct it, it could only be in her mouth, otherwise the family would be six.
There are so many places to spend money on the mouth.
My family knows my family affairs, and the three aunts also talked about it when they were at home that day, saying that they wanted to make cotton jackets for their children, mainly because the eldest one is a little small, and the few younger ones can borrow one to wear. The eldest one can't do it, so you can't.
Let it go freeze.
When he heard that the Liu family's wife borrowed cotton tickets, his wife didn't say anything. Yan Bugui knew what was going on. He kept talking nonsense and insisted on waiting for Liu Heping and his wife to go home, so he felt a little embarrassed.
He spoke to Li Heng.
"Erheng, I also want to borrow some cloth tickets and cotton tickets from you."
“How much is needed?”
Seeing that he didn't go home for a long time, Li Heng knew that something must be wrong. Look, isn't he coming?
"I have to explain it to you first. You know the conditions of my family. I definitely can't pay it back for you in one or two years like the Liu family. Maybe it will take a little longer, but don't worry, no matter what, the borrowed things
I will definitely return it.”
Li Heng was quite relieved about this. Isn’t it true on TV? Yan Bugui borrowed money from anyone and had to pay it back when he went out to pick up the junk for him. His character was quite guaranteed.
"I understand. Just ask the three aunts to tell my wife, she is in charge of our family."
"Hey, thank you Erheng."
"You're welcome, there are only three of us in the front yard, so we should help each other."
It is already autumn at the end of August, and the guys who have passed the winter should prepare in advance. No matter what they are wearing, you can't be anxious when things are about to come.
...
"Brother, let's make you a cotton jacket and a cotton pants again this year. I think you're all sent by the army."
After collecting the tickets for the three aunts, after the couple left, they returned home and closed the door. Fang Xiaoya asked.
"No, I am a person who is carrying the cold, and it may not be necessary to wear a cotton jacket or not."
"How can I not wear a cotton jacket in winter? It won't be frozen."
"Let's see when the time comes. If my cotton jacket and trousers are cold, it's still the new one I just got last year and I didn't get much of it. Come and wash my face."
Li Heng poured hot water into the washbasin and greeted.
"Then our family has saved it. My cotton jacket and trousers are sent from the bureau, so you don't have to do it. This year I will save trouble for me."
"So should I do it for my parents and Xiao Qing?"
"We don't have to worry about theirs. That's my mother's business. If she lacks anything, she will definitely talk to us."
What else can I say about marrying such a wife? I am all in my own small family.
"Girl, it didn't pass today. Should Xiaoqing go to school to report it?"
"Yes, I heard from my mother that report No. 2 and 3 that day, his household registration and grain book had to be moved to the school."
"That's right, he will definitely have to eat in the school cafeteria in the future, and those things will definitely be passed. It seems that he will increase two kilograms of grain every month in the future."
"Well, I'll give you eight dollars a month. I'll show him a lot when I mentioned this that day."
"You can give our mother a suggestion and ask her to ask Xiaoqing for five yuan every month, which means he is the money for the meal when he goes home for a holiday. Is he still showing off?"
Li Heng secretly gave a bad idea.
"Yes, why didn't I expect this? His food relationship was transferred, but I will definitely come back for dinner during the holiday. If I don't pay the food, how can I get his food? Hehe, brother, you have a good idea. I'll do tomorrow
Tell mom to go."
"Haha... OK, don't make him the eight dollar idea. I'm just kidding, and it's impossible for our mother to want it."
"I know, I'm going to deliberately tell my mother in front of him, and suppress him from being arrogant about eight yuan every month when he talked about that day."
It was not a big deal to go to college these days, and this policy continued until the 1990s.
Not only does it not cost money, the country will also send you money. Is it less than eight yuan? It is not a small amount. The grain relationship has been transferred, so you don’t spend money on eating.
In other words, the eight dollars were left by Chunchun himself.
