Bai Xiu didn't fully believe her daughter's words at first, but since she left the first house uneasily and was hurriedly invited out, she has become convinced of her daughter's words.
Then the second and the third...
In two days, she visited most of the houses in the company, and of course there were some new ones who had just moved in. She didn't need to go there if she had no friendship at all.
In the past two days, she had only borrowed two hundred yuan, which was lent to her by Xiao Gou and Gou Jianhua, who were not rich in the first place in the company.
Bai Xiu didn't want to borrow it from him at first, but when she was passing by his house, Gou Jianhua, who was always taciturn, stopped her and without saying a word, asked his wife to take out two hundred yuan from the house and stuffed it into her pocket.
It's in her hands.
"Aunt Bai, don't be dissatisfied if the money isn't much. There's no need to pay it back." After saying that, he pulled his new wife back into the yard, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't want it.
Bai Xiu felt that the two hundred dollars in her hand were extremely hot.
"Hey, so it's not like there aren't good people in this company. Jianhua was bullied a lot when he was a child. He finally got a wife and is now a little better off. This... makes me embarrassed."
When Gou Jianhua was about fourteen years old, his father died of illness. His mother said she was going back to her hometown and there was no news from her.
It was the farm that contacted his mother's family. Li Zhong sent out two letters in succession, but later received only one letter, saying that his mother had remarried and he was old and no longer needed support.
Li Zhong reported to the farm, but he was too young to be employed. However, due to special circumstances, he was given rations according to the treatment of the original employees' families.
At that time, Gou Jianhua was still half a boy, so how could he eat such a small amount of food? The Li family often helped him. Later, when Bo Qing became ill, the Li family had no time to take care of themselves, so the amount of help became less.
When I was young, I worked for other people's houses, so that I could make ends meet. Some people made me work for nothing, and I wished I didn't even have a drink of water.
He was constantly bullied by these brats. Bai Xiu would occasionally look at him and ask him to come to his house for a meal. Sometimes he would give him some eggs or duck eggs.
He became a farm worker only two years ago. It was also last year that Gou Jianhua, who was over 25 years old, was introduced to his wife by someone, but his life was not easy.
"This kid is a repaying person, but what should I do with the two hundred yuan?" Bai Xiu looked at the two hundred yuan on the table with an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
"It's okay. We'll return it to them in a month or two and give them some of our own stuff."
"Favor means you come and I go back and forth. If someone encounters something in the future, we can help him or her."
Feng Taizhou felt that this kind of thing was for everyone. Xiaogou's life was not easy, but he also wanted to help them.
With this kind of favor, when they can take care of him in the future, they will naturally lend a hand to help.
Feng Yanhong nodded and agreed with her father's words.
"Dad, we are going to open up wasteland in the second half of the year, and we will definitely have to do odd jobs then. Let's see if he is willing to do it."
Although it is a part-time job, the salary is not any lower than the wages offered by the farm, and it is not far from home. After half a year, it is not a problem to earn a year's living expenses.
"Sure, I'll call him before we start work." Feng Taizhou nodded and smiled.
This young man Gou Jianhua is not unmotivated and he will definitely do this job.
After those two days, no one came to her house to borrow money. They even hid when they saw the Feng family, just like they were avoiding the god of plague.
During the off-season, there are always people pointing at the Feng family's large yard and saying something about what it has or doesn't have.
The Feng family enjoyed it and ignored it.
Li Boshan originally wanted to start work on the wasteland test field quietly, but unexpectedly the farm was more active than he was. They hung slogans, set off firecrackers, and the equipment of the mechanical team drove to the wasteland with great fanfare.
Li Boshan and Feng Yanhong had moved back to the house where they were married a few days ago, mainly for convenience.
If they live in the city, they would have to drive here early in the morning, which would take at least over half an hour. If they live here, it only takes about ten minutes to walk to the fields.
Li Boshan was very busy on the first day of work. Not only did he have to watch people working, but he also had to change shifts and drive the chain rail car himself.
On Li Boshan's first day of work, when he returned home, his son didn't even recognize him at first sight.
Li Lehang stared at him in the yard for a long time, then rushed back to the house and said, "Mom, there is a monkey in our house!"
Li Boshan laughed angrily at this kid in the yard. Then he looked at himself reflected on the glass. His hair, face, and body were all covered in loess. There was no clean place. He didn't look like a bastard.
Big earth monkey?
Feng Yanhong was forced by Li Lehang to put down the rolling pin in her hand, stuck her head out and glanced at Li Boshan, and couldn't stop laughing.
There is only one eyeball left that is not covered by the loess. Isn't it just a soil monkey?
"Dad is back. Hanghang, hurry up and get a towel for dad." As he said this, he took out a basin and a thermos from the house.
Feng Yanhong and Bai Xiu were also unusually busy, preparing lunch and evening meals for the workers.
After all the workers arrived at their posts, Feng Yanhong and Bai Xiu were too busy. Bai Xiu suggested that Gou Jianhua's daughter-in-law be asked to help and the wages would be calculated in the same way.
Bai Xiu found his home that night. Gou Jianhua had just returned home. He was wearing only a vest and his trousers were full of soil. He was scrubbing in front of the faucet. He heard the purpose of his visit, but he hesitated.
This was the first time that Bai Xiu took a serious look at Gou Jianhua's little daughter-in-law. She was not tall. She had black hair braided into a big braid hanging down her back. She had a round face with a bit of childishness. She looked older.
He was still very young, and his eyes were particularly bright when he stood under the light.
After hearing Bai Xiu's intention, his eyes flashed with anticipation.
Gou Jianhua looked back at his wife and planned to refuse.
"Aunt Bai, why don't you find someone else."
"Uh...uh uh..." Gou Jianhua's wife pulled him behind him and gestured with him anxiously.
Bai Xiu's face went numb for a while, she didn't know that Gou Jianhua's wife was mute.
It's no wonder that she hasn't seen this little daughter-in-law go out for a few months since she came back.
The young couple talked, and the other gestured with his hands. In the end, Gou Jianhua still couldn't defeat his wife.
"Aunt Bai, Fangfang agreed to help you cook. She said she didn't need to pay her any wages, and she just took care of her food."
Gou Jianhua was still worried. Fangfang's situation was special. He wasn't worried that she would be bullied when he went to the Feng family, but he was afraid of causing trouble to Uncle Feng and Aunt Bai again.
"That can't be done. I will take care of the food, and I have to get paid as well. It's not an easy job."
Seeing that the couple had reached an agreement, Bai Xiu let go of her anxiety, looked at Fangfang with a smile and said.
Bai Xiu left the yard, and Gou Jianhua chased him out again.
"Aunt Bai, my family's Fangfang is in a special situation. If she has something... don't talk about her. Can you talk to me later?"
Seeing Gou Jianhua scratching his head and scratching his head at a loss, he gently raised the corners of his mouth and agreed briskly.
"good!"
Unexpectedly, this boy was very considerate to his little wife, but after taking a few steps, she felt a little worried again.
Fangfang can understand what people are saying, but can't speak, so how can they understand what Fangfang is saying?
