good old days

Chapter 68

Amidst Chen Xiuyun's endless warnings, dinner was served at home.

Wild vegetable pancakes with sweet potato and sorghum rice porridge, and a small bowl of shredded radish and pickled vegetables.

Wild vegetables can not only be used to make wild vegetable dumplings, they can be made into various shapes, as long as they are mixed with coarse grain batter, they can be shaped.

Although Jiang Xinyu was full at the state-run restaurant, she was afraid that Comrade Chen Xiuyun would find out, so she drank another bowl of porridge.

"Why don't you eat pancakes?" Jiang Yuzhu asked, and Chen Xiuyun also looked up.

Jiang Xinyu was confident and confident: "Eating wild vegetables makes me want to vomit."

The two had nothing to say, who didn't feel sick after eating wild vegetables?

Xiao Hei has been eating wild vegetables recently, and he has lost a lot of weight.

At night, Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu squeezed into the bed, but it was warm.

"Sister, what are you doing these days?"

Jiang Yuzhu was about to fall asleep, and said in a daze, "Go to work."

Jiang Yuzhu fell asleep quickly, and Jiang Xinyu was not in the mood for a few minutes, and soon fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after the team leader whistled to call the commune members to go to work, the mother and daughter three ate wild vegetable pancakes and went to work.

Although Comrade Chen Xiuyun is a teacher, not only does she have a few dollars a month, but she also gets full work points for every class, but when she is not in class and on holidays, she also goes to work like the team members in the brigade.

In two or so months, the winter wheat will be harvested. The land that was just opened by the brigade last year will be used to grow peanuts and soybeans this year, and other land that does not grow wheat will also be planted with corn and sweet potatoes.

At this time, the crop yield was generally not high, because they still depended on the sky for food, and there were no mechanical tools. At most, there was only one tractor for pulling things back and forth and plowing the land.

The tractors in the brigade were bought after two years of good harvests, and they still owe money to the farm airport.

Jiang Xinyu dug the ground with a hoe, but couldn't straighten up after a while.

God, Jiang Xinyu felt hopeless when she thought that she might come back to do farm work to earn work points after graduating from high school this semester.

At school, I only work half a day a day, earning work points in the brigade, and I only rest for two hours at noon every day.

Of course, the sun at the beginning of March in the Gregorian calendar would not be too strong, but Jiang Xinyu was sweating all over.

Seeing a group of young men helping Su Qingqing dry her small piece of land while Su Qingqing was sitting on the ridge to rest, Jiang Xinyu was really envious.

Chen Yi, come quickly, I need you!

Jiang Xinyu let out a silent cry in her heart.

It's just a pity that she didn't wait for Chen Yi to come home until noon.

Jiang Xinyu dragged her heavy body into the courtyard gate, and Xiao Hei circled around her and Jiang Yuzhu excitedly.

Chen Xiuyun said: "You two don't go tomorrow."

Jiang Xinyu's eyes lit up, and she heard Comrade Chen Xiuyun continue to say: "Tomorrow, you two go to dig up your private land, and I will plant all the seedlings that have been raised in a few days."

Jiang Xinyu's bright eyes dimmed instantly.

Don't do collective work, but also work for your own family.On this piece of land, can only be surrounded by farm work?

In recent years, only food crops can be grown in private plots, and cash crops cannot be grown. The crops grown in private plots of every household are basically vegetables. In summer, there is no shortage of vegetables such as eggplants, peppers, beans, and cucumbers.

The radishes and cabbage grown can be pickled into pickles, which can be eaten for a year in jars. Jiang Xinyu’s jars still have a lot of pickles.

"Last year, we kept cantaloupe and watermelon seeds. Let's see how many melons we can pick up this year." Chen Xiuyun mentioned the melon seeds with anticipation in her tone.

At noon, it was wild vegetable pancakes with porridge and pickles. Jiang Xinyu's stomach started to growl before the afternoon's work was done.

Her life is really bitter.

When she was crying, Chen Yi came to the field, holding a tea mug in his hand, and came to bring water to Widow Wang.

"Chen Yi, why did you come back so early today?" an old lady asked while working.

Chen Yi picked up the hoe and did the work for Widow Wang who was drinking water. He said, "Recently, we went to interview good people and good deeds, as well as typical people who know their mistakes and can correct them..."

He was not a talkative person, but he deliberately talked about the things of these days.

Movies are not shown every day, as long as there are no movies, he can come back sooner.

The team members were surprised when they heard it. They know good people and good deeds. Someone in their village has been praised before. What is it that they can correct their mistakes?
Mrs. Li, who was working there, was tense all over. She lowered her head and worked harder.

The members of the team asked questions, and Chen Yi laughed and said, "Next Friday night, there will be a movie in the town. Anyone who wants to watch it will see it. After watching it, you will know what's going on."

Some people regretted, "It costs money to show movies in the town, Chen Yi, you belong to our brigade, when will you show new movies again? You have to take care of our own brigade."

Chen Yi said with a smile: "I will definitely strive for it. Within a month, I will definitely let everyone see the newly delivered video." coming video.

Mrs. Li's head was pressed even lower, she was full of thoughts, how could she be a human being when she was thrown to the far and wide?What is so good about the movie, you must watch it!A group of people who have never seen the world just want to kill her old lady.

A group of people chattered at one another, even though they were all doing work, Jiang Xinyu felt that Chen Yi was surrounded by people.

With this time to talk, can't you come and work for her?The villain in Jiang Xinyu's heart is on her hips.

After Widow Wang finished drinking the water, she took the hoe again. Before she could speak, she heard Chen Yi say: "Mom, I'm going to help Xinyu."

Widow Wang nodded, no dissatisfaction could be heard in her tone, "Go."

After Chen Yi left, a woman who was at odds with Widow Wang said, "Chen Yi is so kind to Jiang's girl before she is married. When she enters the door, will your Chen Yi's heart be more biased?"

Widow Wang squinted at the speaker: "If a man is not good to his own wife, who do you expect him to be good to? My Chen Yi, I know, is a filial man, and it's useless for you to be jealous. Do you think you provoke two people?" If I say that, I will be angry with that girl? This trouble is going on, it is the whole family who is angry, can you live a good life?"

The provocative female comrades curled their lips and stopped talking.

Widow Wang snorted, turned around and worked with her back facing the woman.

In the morning, Su Zhiqing told her that Chen Yi had bought a scarf for Jiang Xinyu. She felt a little distressed, but she was not angry because Chen Yi bought her a scarf during the Chinese New Year.

Her son is filial.

Recalling the scene of being tortured by her mother-in-law in the past, Widow Wang felt that if she treated her daughter-in-law the same as her mother-in-law treated her, then what is the difference between her and the old woman?
Widow Wang looked up and saw Chen Yi took the hoe in Jiang Xinyu's hand and started to work dully. She curled her lips and changed direction.

Don't look at her eyes, don't worry about her heart, she feels so distressed before she has married a daughter-in-law. The Widow Wang who "understands righteousness" still feels a little sad in her heart.
