The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 21 There is hope for the day

Evening in the countryside.

As the last ray of sunlight was pulled down the mountain by the sun, the whole village was immersed in peace and tranquility.

People who went out to work returned home one after another, and smoke billowed from the roofs of every house.

Su Jinshun and Su Manjin completed the transaction from the restaurant, and then went to the hospital to deliver dinner to the Su Yutian brothers. The grandfather and grandson returned home with joy.

Su Yuhui and his wife also came back after discussing things with Bo Xingquan and the village head.

The family sat around and had dinner together.

The food these days is obviously better than before.Since the family went to the sea, there was more seafood on the table, the family's public grocery shopping fund has increased, and there has been more meat.

Even Su Jinyang's little face became rounder, and the complexion of the family members became healthier.

Days are moving in a good direction.The atmosphere at home is also much more relaxed.

Su Jinshun's mood has become more relaxed these days, and he has become more talkative, not as dull and reticent as before.

After eating, it's time to pay the bill every day.

Su Jinshun handed the list made by the back kitchen of the restaurant to the eldest son, "Yuhui, take a look, these are the goods delivered at noon and evening today, and the restaurant compiled the list."

Su Yuhui skipped the details, and first looked at the total amount. The total column read: 599.7 yuan!
He was startled, and quickly went to check the details, only to see that the first line read: "Eel 6.5 catties, 143 yuan!"

"Dad, I'm not mistaken, this eel can be sold so expensive?" Su Yuhui couldn't believe it.

Su Jinshun glanced at his son: "Xiaoman talked to Boss Wang at 22 yuan per catty! This eel is wild, big, very nourishing, and can be used as medicine."

He confidently said what his granddaughter said in the restaurant just now :)

"Besides, I think that Boss Wang probably wants to take it home for his family to eat."

Su Yuhui was silent.If you catch it next time, you will also leave it to your family to replenish your body.

继续看清单：“大青蟹8.3斤，124.5元；大角螺7.4斤，74元；野生鲫鱼3.8斤，57元；文蛤8.7斤，87元；花蛤7.5斤，15元；散螺4.1斤，8.2元；竹蛏4.2斤，63元；小鱿鱼2.8斤，28元。”

Su Yuhui fell silent again after watching it, and changing careers was indeed the right choice!

I dare not imagine that this day's income is worth more than my three days' wages as a quarryman!
Su Jinshun understood the shock of the eldest son, and he felt the same way when he received the money a few times ago.

He said with a smile: "Our Xiaoman has a good vision. The varieties and quantities sent to the restaurant every day basically meet the demand. Boss Wang is also a straightforward person, and we accept everything we send."

Su Yuhui glanced at the smiling daughter: "Xiaoman's suggestion that our family change careers seems to be right, and the income from going overseas is really good."

Su Manjin arrogantly: "That's right! Dad, you can praise me more:)"

Su Yuhui was amused by his daughter: "Our Xiaoman is really good!"

"Father~ I want to boast too~" Xiao Jinyang said coquettishly, not to be outdone.

"Yes, yes, our Xiaoyang will definitely be as powerful as his sister when he grows up!" Su Yuhui responded with a smile.

Xiao Jinyang has always been her sister's number one supporter, and when she heard her father say that she is as good as her sister, she was immediately happy.

It doesn't matter whether my dad is praising me now, or talking about me in the future, as long as I'm as good as my sister anyway :)
Su Jinshun watched his children and grandchildren laughing and joking with each other, and he and his wife also looked at each other with a smile.Zhou Xiuni's eyes are also full of anticipation, there is hope for this day!

"Okay, let's do today's accounts first." Su Jinshun continued.

"Today's total income is 599.7 yuan, and Xiaoman's share is 119 yuan."

"Except for sending the goods to the restaurant, the rest of the goods we catch by ourselves can be used as side dishes, which can be regarded as deducting part of the food expenses. From now on, the daily grocery shopping fund will be deducted at a maximum of 20 yuan."

"In this way, there are 460 yuan left, and the four of us will each share 115 yuan."

Su Yumei cheered: "Wow, this is equivalent to almost four days' wages!!!"

Su Jinshun is more conservative: "This time, the fishing net next to the oyster column intercepted the wild eels, and Xiaoman negotiated a good price, which is why this number came about."

Su Yumei retorted: "Yesterday, one person earned 76 yuan, which is already very good."

Su Manjin smiled and said: "Grandpa, Dad, we have more people now, and the fishing nets on the sea oyster column can be adjusted more."

The two nodded.

"In addition, clams and loose snails are relatively cheap, so we can spend our limited time on things that can generate more income."

"Fishing net interception should maximize the benefits, and the time cost is low. We just need to wait for the ebb tide, go to pick up the gifts from the sea, and then rearrange the fishing nets."

Xiao Jinyang looked at the adults chatting in a daze, and when he heard his sister talk about the gift from Dahai, he immediately became energetic: "Sister~ I also want to receive the gift from Dahai~"

Su Manjin responded with a smile: "Okay ~ Tomorrow, sister will take you there~"

After teasing his younger brother, Su Manjin continued to his grandfather and father: "The work of handling fishing nets every day should be enough for two people to spend half of the four rooms. In the rest of the time, you can also focus on catching crabs and fish on the reef. Conch, these two types of things are also valuable."

"Grandma and aunt, you can focus on digging Meretrix meretrix and razor clams on the beach."

"The way to dig that razor clam, my grandfather had Su Xiaosheng demonstrate it the other day. Although the diggings today are relatively small, you should be able to find the trick gradually. The price of the king razor clam is really good."

Zhou Xiuni and Su Yumei nodded quickly.The granddaughter/niece must have made sense.Happy as long as you can make money :)

Su Jinshun is very satisfied with the arrangement of his granddaughter. With the same amount of time, he can earn more income, so why not do it?
The family discussed the arrangements for catching the sea, and Su Jinshun talked about Su Yutian's injury.

"Yutian's leg is broken. After two days of drip, he said he can go home tomorrow afternoon. He will have to take care of him for at least 3 months."

Zhou Xiuni thought for a while and said: "When Yutian comes back, there must be someone at home, so I will take care of him at home."

"Meiyue's grocery store is slowly getting on the right track, and it has to be busy. If she needs to go out to buy goods, etc., I can help to look after it. I will take care of the housework at home, and you will have a hot meal when you come back. eat."

"Besides, the farm work in the field has been left behind these days, and I have to find time to do it, otherwise the harvest next year will not be good."

After some discussion, it was decided that Su Yuhui would go to the former owner of the quarry to borrow a tractor tomorrow afternoon to bring Su Yutian and Su Yuwen back.

Su Manjin immediately announced the news of her suspension of school and skipping a grade, which shocked the whole family's jaws.Everyone reacts differently.

Su Yumei was proud: "Xiao Man, you are amazing! You are only in the first grade, and you have managed to finish the homework of the third grade. I saw you looking for Lixin for tutoring and borrowing textbooks. I thought you didn't know how to do homework. I went to ask, I didn't expect you to go to preview and study by yourself!"

In fact, Su Manjin was afraid that Aunt Li would lose the used textbooks, and later she would have nowhere to borrow them, so she deliberately took her useless textbooks home to save, and flipped through them by the way.Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law took the initiative to think of an excuse for her.

Su Jinshun was proud: "Xiao Man, you can answer the final exam paper of the third grade of elementary school by yourself, awesome! You are indeed a child of my old Su family!"

Su Manjin:
"At the beginning, your great-great-grandfather said that our ancestors had prime ministers and everyone. Later, with the change of the dynasty, it declined, and our branch moved to this coastal area. It can be seen that our Xiaoman has inherited the legacy of our ancestors. If you are capable, you will definitely have greater prospects in the future! Come on Xiaoman, grandpa is optimistic about you!"

Su Manjin:?Well, in her last life, she had no idea that there was such a historical story.Which prime minister and everyone?Could it be Sansu?Laugh and cry :)
Zeng Meiyue was worried: "Xiao Man, you have only been in school for a few months, why do you have to suspend school? What if you can't keep up by then? Your teacher actually agreed?"

Su Manjin comforted: "Mom, don't worry, the teacher personally watched me do the paper. I have indeed learned all the knowledge in the third grade. I also asked Aunt Li Xin and Sheng Rong if I didn't understand. Uncle."

Uncle Sheng Rong was indeed his first teacher.There is nothing wrong with this statement.

"Our teacher has communicated with the principal and the dean. Although I am suspended from school, I still have to report back to school every Friday afternoon. Moreover, the principal said that in the future, whenever there are organized competitions in the county or school district, I will be asked to represent the school. Participate."

When Zeng Meiyue heard that her daughter had to go to school and participate in competitions, she felt much more at ease and stopped objecting.

Su Xuhui was worried: "Xiao Man, your suspension of school and only taking the final exam will not affect your graduation in the future?"

"No, Dad, the principal and the others expect me to win more awards for the school. Besides, the elementary school graduation exam is not difficult. As long as I take the exam normally, there will be no problem."

After dealing with the family's cross-examination, Su Manjin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was in the mood to tease her younger brother.

"Xiao Jinyang, sister doesn't have to go to school tomorrow, can I teach you how to draw?"

The little baby immediately agreed happily.Su Manjin turned to look at her parents.

"In the future when I don't have to go to school, I plan to teach my mother to read and speak Mandarin. To develop and grow our grocery store in the future, my mother must know how to write and communicate."

Zeng Meiyue was stunned for a moment, and then she became a little worried: "Xiao Man, I haven't gone to school before, and now I'm at this age, can I learn well?"

"Mom, don't worry, I'll teach you slowly. It's never too late to start learning! The most fearful thing is that you don't want to learn. As long as you want to learn, if you don't, let's practice more. It will be fine." .”

Su Manjin analyzed patiently: "Just think about it. With the development of society in the future, it will be inconvenient if you don't know how to read or speak Mandarin. When you learn it, you can not only talk about business, but also travel far and wide. Look at the outside world, you can read books, listen to music, watch movies, life is so colorful.”

Su Yumei who was at the side was moved, "Xiaoman, when you teach sister-in-law to read, can I learn together?" She also wanted to go out and see the colorful world outside.

Su Yumei’s family was poor when she was a child. Only three brothers went to school for a few years. The eldest brother had to help the family. He didn’t finish the third grade. He dropped out of school early and came back to work. After two years of study, I didn't go to school.She herself has to help her parents with farm work since she was a child, and she also has to take care of her younger brother at home, let alone going to school.

Su Manjin felt that it was a good thing that her aunt was willing to study, so she readily agreed.

The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled, a little nervous, but full of longing.

Of course, they would never have imagined that Su Manjin's proposal today would completely change the direction of their future lives.
