The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 379 70s Stirring House Spirit (10)

Xu Yin served the old lady a bowl of rice, and pulled her to sit down at the table.

The old lady came to her senses and hurried to leave: "No, no, I'll go back and eat."

"Grandma, what's wrong with having a meal at my house? Isn't my father your son?"

"That's right, mother, it's already time to eat, come and leave, what does it look like to be seen by others! I thought I, Mr. Xu, wouldn't even give you a meal."

Chen Huilan saw that the amount of food cooked by her daughter was not bad, so she also said: "Mom, sit down and eat! How long does it take to eat a meal?"

The old lady said to herself: I don't want to eat it, I'm afraid of dying from the dishes made by your daughter.

But the granddaughter forced her to sit down, and it was impossible to stand up again.

Bite the bullet and took a mouthful of rice, remembering why I came here, took out the food hidden in the skirt of my clothes, and handed it to Xu Yin:

"Is your family running out of food? Let's make do with it first, and let your grandpa think of a way to see if he can get some black|market rice."

She still has a little money in her hand.

Old man Xu has worked in the agricultural machinery factory for more than 20 years, and the wages he earns are quite a lot.

It’s just that I gave some subsidies to the three sons in the early stage, especially the youngest son started a house, which really cost a lot, but I kept saving what I earned afterwards.

There will be a pension in the future, of course not as high as the salary, but it is enough to cover the expenses of the old couple.After all, the old lady still has a ration, and the private land is not empty. She has grown some seasonal vegetables, corn, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains, which is absolutely enough for the two of them to live on.

Xu and Lao San were not surprised when the old lady brought some rice, noodles and miscellaneous grains over from time to time, but Xu Yin had mixed feelings.

"Grandma, you'd better take it back, you and grandpa also have to eat. I will find a way for my family's food."

"Why are you being polite to your grandma!" Xu Laosan hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take it in, it would be bad to be seen by others."

Xu Yin: "..."

Not only lazy, but thick-skinned.

Also, a thin-skinned person may not be a lazy person.

Mrs. Xu bit the bullet and took a bite of the scrambled shrimp skin that Xu Yin put into her bowl. The next second, she looked at her granddaughter in surprise: "Did you fry this dish?"

"That's right!" Xu Laosan hurriedly said, "These two days are all Yinyin's cooking, and her cooking is delicious, much more delicious than that made by my mother!"

Chen Huilan kicked him under the table: "My cooking is not delicious, why don't you eat it too?"

"Yes, yes, you're doing okay, but compared to Yin Yin, isn't it far behind? You said the same thing yesterday."

"..."

The old lady Xu didn't care about the bickering between the couple, she picked up her job bowl and ate happily: "Oh, it seems that girl Yin has made a lot of progress, the girl should practice her cooking skills, so that she won't be able to eat hot food when she gets married in the future."

After eating, I remembered the business of my son's family: "I heard people say this morning that the three of you are now working in the fields to earn work points? Yin girl is also very strong? Is it true?"

"Really, really." Seeing that the three of them had finished eating, Xu Laosan took the bowl of scrambled eggs with dried shrimps to fill a bowl of rice, and used the little oil underneath to mix the rice. He said, "Girl, where did you get those wild eggs? I'll go and have a look as soon as possible, and try to pick up a few more. It tastes so delicious when fried!"

"Is this a wild egg?" Mrs. Xu reacted, "Yes, your family doesn't even want to raise a chicken, and it's troublesome to feed the chicken. If you want to eat an egg, you have to go to pick up a wild egg. Wild eggs are so Is it easy to pick up? One time is good luck, how can it be so lucky every time?"

When it comes to chickens, Xu Yin really has a question to ask: "Grandma, how many chickens can our family raise?"

"Up to two, what? Do you want to raise them? If you raise them, you have to get chicken food for them, and you have to sweep the yard often, shovel the chicken feces into the dustpan and fertilize them. If you can do it, I will find two chicks for you come over."

Don't count on the son and daughter-in-law. If they can make themselves look like dogs and earn work points every day like they are now, she will put their palms together and recite Amitabha.

Xu Yin nodded: "Okay, grandma, help me find two chicken cubs, I'll feed them."

Mrs. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

Before leaving, he secretly stuffed two pieces of money rolled into cigarettes into Xu Yin's hand:
"Your parents are out of tune, your eldest sister is married again, and now the family has to rely on you to support it. Don't let your parents know about the money that grandma gave you. You are hiding it secretly. If there is something missing at home, go buy some. Don’t worry about the food, I’ll ask your grandfather to inquire about it, find a suitable opportunity to buy some black | market food, and just wait until the autumn harvest.”

How could Xu Yin ask for the old lady's money: "Grandma, take it back, I have money. I can get money for my pasted matchbox soon."

"How much is that worth?"

Can Mrs. Xu know how much she can get for the number of matchboxes?The little girl bought two red-headed ropes at home, and there were not many left.

She forced the money into Xu Yin's hand, and walked back with little feet.

Xu Yin thought about going to the small river after work in the evening to see if she could lure two more fish with the fish food in her hand, and when the time came, they would share one with the other.

When walking back to the house, she saw the pair of dung buckets in the yard and patted her forehead. Forget it, her father went back to the house for an afternoon nap, so she stopped calling him, and just made a trip by herself.

She picked up the dung bucket and walked towards Chen Lei's house, and accompanied the old lady for a while.

Seeing her coming out with a dung bucket, Mrs. Xu wondered, "Are you going to pick up dung at this point?"

"No, this belongs to Chen Lei's family. Before lunch, he helped me pick out two barrels to compost. I will return the barrels."

"..." Mrs. Xu's eyes straightened when she heard the words, "Then what... Is Qianjin's little son picking shit for you? Oh, hello!"

Thinking of the toughness of Qianjin's daughter-in-law, she also said that if she knew which one, she would definitely come to the door and scold her. She was in a bad mood, so she quickly stopped her granddaughter: "Don't go, don't go!"

The little old lady was frightened to death.

"What's wrong grandma?"

"Oh, I won't be able to say this clearly for a while. Give me the bucket, and I'll take it there for you. Don't come out, go back to the house quickly."

She insisted on dragging away the two buckets and let Xu Yin go home.

Then she took a step towards Chen's house.

In just a few short steps, she was stunned to take a heroic and righteous step.

At the door of Chen's house, Mrs. Xu looked around.

Fortunately, at this point, everyone is eating and taking a nap, and no one is outside.

Mrs. Xu quickly put the two barrels in the courtyard of the Chen family, and ran away.

Panting all the way home, he sat down while rubbing his chest.

"Ouch, I'm exhausted!"

Old man Xu was waiting for her to come back for dinner: "Go ask me something, why did you go there for so long?"

The shocked old lady Xu waved her hand: "You eat it, I ate it at Lao San's."

"Is there still food for you at his house?" Old man Xu was delighted.

When this matter was mentioned, Mrs. Xu's nervous mood was calmed down:
"Yin Yatou is quite sensible, she cooks the food, but the youngest and the third couple are indeed more accomplished than before, knowing how to earn work points in the field, now they don't have dinner and go to take a nap, and they said they will go to the field in the afternoon work there."

The old couple talked about the changes in their youngest son's family. The youngest son, who thought he would be lazy all his life, actually worked hard to earn full work points. When he was happy, old man Xu ate an extra bowl of rice at noon, but he was supported.

Mrs. Xu was angry and funny: "I just said that the old three's family doesn't have enough food, so I have to find a way to get some. You still eat yourself up, you really have it!"

Old man Xu laughed: "Happy!"
