Chapter 263: Being convenient for others is also convenient for yourself
Zhou Yi hugged Song Xi and patted her shoulder gently with his palm, "Zhou An was sent down, and they should leave here soon. After all, they are not from Ping'an Village, and their registered residence is not in Ping'an Village.
"
"I'm afraid they came to the mountains to hide in trouble and will not go back easily." During this special period, many people did hide in the countryside and in the mountains, because only the countryside is the safest and calmest.
"Even if this is the case, don't worry. I will have people keep an eye on their every move and they will not let them hurt us at all." How could they have imagined that someone would arrange everything faster than them.
That is money for the people.
He asked Wu Zhuhua to call several old ladies with the worst character in the village to keep an eye on Liu Wenya and Liu Wenzhu, and gave them a dollar a day each.
Village regulations cannot control such people, but money can impress them. If you want money, you have to work hard.
They would hang around outside Zhou An's house every day holding the sickles used to cut rice, staring at the pair of sisters. No matter how brave they were, they would not dare to do anything under the power of the sickles.
Since Aunt Li provided the most useful evidence and helped Song Xi and Zhou Yi overcome a difficult situation, after Song Xi adjusted her mentality after two days, she invited Aunt Li and her husband to come home for dinner.
I killed a hare and put two whole basins of lard into it. I also killed a shelduck and burned half of it. The other half was given to Jiang Jiayi.
After all, Jiang Jiayi was pregnant and needed to supplement her nutrition, so she also made pickled fish, crucian carp soup, fried shredded cabbage with bacon, stir-fried seaweed, boiled shrimp, spicy crab, scrambled eggs with green onions, and garlic lettuce.
The lunch for four people consisted of eight dishes, which was more sumptuous than everyone else’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Aunt Li was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Xi, Zhou Yi, you are really too polite, I didn't do anything!"
"Aunt Li, if you hadn't told us that Zhou An had sneaked into our house, we wouldn't have known that he had hidden things at home. When those people came to search for the things, my brother and I would have been taken to a labor camp. Aunt Li
You've obviously helped us a lot, but why do you say you didn't do anything? Aunt Li, you are so humble." If Aunt Li hadn't told them, they might not have discovered that someone had entered the house.
Because when they enter the house by themselves, they will also bring snow under their feet. When the snow melts into water and mixes together, who would have discovered that someone had been there before they returned home!
Aunt Li smiled sheepishly, but she was really happy to be able to help them solve their trouble, because she really liked these two children.
Aunt Li's husband stood beside her and said angrily, "Hey, I really don't know what Zhou An has been doing outside these years. There are so many big yellow croakers. Isn't it good to live his own life quietly? He must be framed..."
He glanced at Song Xi and Zhou Yi and stopped talking, but everyone knew what he was going to say.
Others don't know the reason why Zhou An did this, but Song Xi knows that Zhou An just wants Zhou Yi to marry Liu Wenzhu. As for the ulterior purpose behind it, they don't know.
But these are not important anymore. After all, the culprit will not come back for many years. Now the two women are left in a foreign land with a group of vicious aunts watching, and they can't make any trouble.
"Okay, now that everything has passed, let's not talk about these things anymore. Xiaoxi and Zhou Yi, you two will live a good life in the future. Don't be afraid. If someone wants to hurt you, I will be the first to say no. People in Ping An Village will protect you.
It's yours." Aunt Li said protecting her.
Although Zhou An is also from Ping'an Village, after all, Zhou An has not returned to the village for many years and is no longer considered to be from Ping'an Village.
"Aunt Li, thank you. We are lucky to be neighbors with Aunt Li." Song Xi and Zhou Yi looked at each other, then picked up their bamboo cups and offered tea instead of wine to toast Aunt Li.
After the meal, Song Xi asked Aunt Li and his wife to take the half pot of rabbit meat home. As for why she didn't send it to Jiang Jiayi, it was because Song Xi didn't dare and she wasn't sure whether pregnant women could eat rabbit meat.
Soon, the new year came to an end, and in mid-February, Ping An Village Primary School also started school. All the children returned to the classroom and began to attend classes seriously.
Although it is not yet time for spring planting, the adults have begun to continue to open up wasteland. After all, Ping'an Village is surrounded by mountains. There is not much anything but mountains. If you open up more wasteland, you can grow more things.
However, some people were left to help people in the village build houses. After all, everyone was waiting in line to build brick houses!
Song Xi and the others signed up for the third batch, and it is expected that they will be able to build a brick house by the end of this year.
Song Xi has already drawn the drawing. It can be ordinary on the outside, but it must be the type she likes inside, and she has also reserved the child's room.
After all, they plan to have a baby this year, so they won't wait until the baby grows up and can no longer live in the house, then demolish and rebuild the house, right?
Wouldn't that be laborious and expensive?
There are also furniture, beds, cupboards, wardrobes, utility cabinets... She has drawn the drawings for them all and has given them to the carpenter, asking him to work on them slowly and just finish them before moving.
The furniture of this era is all made of pure wood. It only has the fragrance of wood and no other odors, so you don’t have to worry about it being bad for your health.
Jiang Jiayi's due date is March, but the specific date cannot be confirmed. After all, there are no sophisticated testing instruments these days.
The due date calculated by Song Xi was based on Jiang Jiayi's aunt's period. Besides, the probability of giving birth to the baby on time is very small, and most of them are either advanced or postponed.
Because Jiang Jiayi was about to give birth to a child, Zhou Ping found money to take a month's leave for Weimin. It happened that it was just land reclamation and it was not yet time for spring planting, so Qian Weimin approved him for leave and issued a letter of introduction.
If you stay in the city for a long time, it is better to have a letter of introduction to avoid being arrested as a refugee.
Zhou Ping asked for leave, got the letter of introduction, and came back to tell everyone about this matter. He had to go to the city to accompany him, and the business would naturally not be able to continue, so he stopped doing it this month, and he stopped participating in the dividends.
Wait until next month to continue, just in time to take a month off.
Everyone agreed that what is convenient for others is also convenient for oneself. We will inevitably get married and have children in the future, and we will definitely need to take leave by then.
Song Xi brought two pieces of chocolate to Zhou Ping and filled him with a glass of spiritual spring water, "Zhou Ping, sister Jiayi is about to give birth. You must take her for a walk these days, okay? And before entering the delivery room, let her go for a walk."
She ate this chocolate and drank this water to increase her strength and relieve the pain."
Since she was not sure exactly when Jiang Jiayi was born, Song Xi couldn't take such a long leave to accompany her.
After all, she still has a lot of students waiting to teach, not to mention that these are what Zhou Ping, as a husband, should do.
