I'm sorry, I can't serve you all.

Chapter 76
Since Li's miscarriage, Zhang and Li have completely broken up.

Perhaps because of rivalry, or because of loneliness, they all showed unprecedented enthusiasm for Jinyue, as long as Jinyue was at home, they would always go to Jinyue for a sit-down.

Of course, no matter what we talk about, we always return to scolding the other party as hateful in the end, as if that can relieve our anger.

Jinyue naturally knows about this kind of gossip behind her back, so it's fine to just listen to it, and she can't talk to her.

The relationship between people is like a jigsaw puzzle, it's normal to separate and rejoin, she doesn't want to be caught.

Su Laoer is getting busier and busier, because the carpentry skills shown in the house repair this time are admirable, and it didn't take long before it spread to the surrounding villages. Several house repairers in other villages invited him to do carpentry. As for work, some people even encouraged him to throw away his crops and concentrate on being a carpenter.

No matter what others said was true or not, in short, these words still made Su Lao Er's heart itch.

He discussed this with Jinyue, and Jinyue agreed that he would go out to pick up work during the slack season, but during the busy farming season, he must focus on the work in the field. If the farmer throws away the land, what is the way out?
So, Su Laoer bought carpentry tools by himself, and made himself a beautiful carpentry box, with different tools in large and small grids, which are pleasing to the eye.

At that time, it had already entered late spring, but there was not much farm work to do for the time being. Weeding and loosening the soil in the nearby fields and other small tasks, Jinyue took time to do it.

Second Su started to try to pick up the job.

The first time I picked up work was in Zhuzui next door, about twenty miles away from their village. They wanted to make a large square table with six chairs in the main room.

Su Laoer went every morning and returned at night, making him exhausted.

In the end, the male owner of the family said that he might as well just live in their house, so as not to have to go back and forth every day.

Jinyue thinks this is also good.

So the second son Su started the days when he often didn't go home, and the family was basically supported by Jinyue alone.

Jinyue is as busy as a spinning top every day, but when she sees the money that Su Laoer brings home from time to time, she feels that all the hard work is worth it, and it is replaced by energy and longing for the future.

Jinyue even thought that when she had money, she could buy a few pieces of furniture for her new home.

Jinyue has always wanted a big wardrobe. Although she doesn't have many clothes, a wardrobe is still what every woman yearns for.

Second Su also promised Jinyue that when he saves money from woodwork, the first thing he will do is buy a wardrobe for Jinyue.

According to word of mouth, Su Laoer became more and more busy, and the jobs he took were getting farther and farther away.

It was originally said that during the busy season of farming, I would do my own work, but just a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, a family in Miao Village offered to do a one-step plow, and the price was high, ten yuan.Su Laoer thought that it would not take long to make the plow, and it would not affect his family's farm work, so he agreed.

Jinyue has been fidgeting for the past few days. The second son Su said he would be back in three to five days. It has been half a month and there is still no news, and there is no contact information. Nothing will happen.

The farm work in the nearby fields has been done by themselves, but the weeds in the wheat field in the distance have not been removed, and their annual harvest depends on the wheat.Hearing the neighbors talking and laughing and walking past the door every day, Jinyue felt like a fire was burning in her heart.

Su's second son came back on the night of May [-]th, his eyes were bloodshot, his head was downcast, and even Su Shen had no interest in letting him see the flowery ropes on her wrists and ankles.

In the end, Jinyue found out that something happened in the process of doing the work.

Su Laoer was thinking about the crops at home, and accidentally miscalculated the size of two logs, so he had to redo them in the end.

This family was also a stingy person, because of this, all kinds of embarrassments, some said it was a waste of wood, and some said it wasted their time.

In the end, the woman even included the cost of eating and sleeping at their house, and reluctantly gave her five yuan.

When Jinyue brought a bowl of poached eggs and a piece of steamed buns, Su Laoer was still lying on the kang, sulking.

"Forget it, don't think so much, get up and eat."

"Father, get up quickly and take a look at the steamed buns I made." Su Shen picked up the triangular pancake on the plate, and pulled Su's second brother's trousers.

Second Su rubbed his eyes, got up and took the steamed bun from his daughter.

It can be seen that this is still the bun of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Here, in addition to hanging wicker on the door and tying flower ropes on the wrists and ankles during the Dragon Boat Festival, there is also the custom of making steamed buns and returning daughters to their natal homes.

I remember that when I was young, the harvest was not bad one year, and the family was given a lot of food. My mother specially saved some flour to make steamed buns for the brothers on the Dragon Boat Festival.

Although the mother repeatedly told them not to eat until their father came back from the field, but at that time he was still young and couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food, so he secretly took a piece.

He was terrified when his mother found out, but his mother, who was always strict with them, didn't beat him that time. Instead, she touched his head and sighed, saying when can the children have a good meal.

The "when" that my mother said at that time should be this time.

Su Er Er felt emotional for a while.

"Father, why did you just eat it? Don't you want to see if the pattern I printed looks good?" Su Shen looked at Su's second child and said angrily.

"Shen'er, Dad is hungry and tired, you go play with your sister first." Jinyue said.

"Oh, Dad, look, um, it's nice, I look like a cloud."

"Hmph, what cloud, it's obviously a flower."

Seeing Su Shen's angry appearance, Second Su felt a lot better. He hurriedly apologized, saying that Dad deliberately teased you, it was just a flower, a beautiful peony flower.

When sleeping at night, when the husband and wife were chatting, the second son Su accidentally mentioned that he had heard that the women in Miao Village secretly took birth control rings.

Just when the family planning trend was just blowing, that is, when Jinyue had a miscarriage, except for the women who gave birth to two women who gave birth to vasectomy, all the women who gave birth to one were given birth control rings.

In order to prevent them from stealing rings, the staff will go door-to-door for routine inspections every month.

"Isn't it being checked every month? Didn't the staff check it out?"

"I heard that Miaocun has not been checked for two or three months, and several women are already pregnant."

Jinyue knows what Su's second child means, but right now she really has no intention of having a child.

No matter what, wait until Su Wei grows up.

In the afternoon of the next day, Su's second son went to hoe the wheat field in the distance, and Jinyue took care of the child's daily life as usual.Suddenly she heard the old five and the six rushing in excitedly, and as soon as they reached the yard, they started shouting: "Mother, the village chief said that the school is going to open in the village."

Jinyue was excited when she heard that, she hurriedly put down the rag in her hand, ran out and called Su Laowu to ask what happened.

It turned out that it was Village Chief Liu's idea that the school was going to be built on the edge of the old wheat field, which is now a batch of new yards - a piece of land that Village Chief Liu tried his best to set aside.
