Chapter 204 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-Law (Extra 2)

  Xu Yin got her junior card and was surrounded by neighbors.

   They were all looking at a large cardboard box taller than a person standing at her feet.

   "Yinyin, did you buy something good for the family again?"

  Xu Yin smiled and said, "It's hot, so I bought a refrigerator for my parents."

   Fortunately, small three-wheeled trucks for carrying goods and people can be called in the town now, otherwise, if they are called from the county, the fare will not be low.

  As soon as they heard the refrigerator, the crowd was in an uproar.

   "Is this a bit expensive?"

   "It's more than a little bit, it's very expensive!"

   “More expensive than a TV set.”

   "Tsk tsk! Didn't you just graduate from college, girl Yin? You made money so quickly? It seems that the unit benefits are very good?"

   "What do you know!" Xu's mother arrived, panting and pushing everyone away, "My family Yinyin still has to study. She must have bought the refrigerator with a scholarship again, isn't it girl?"

   "Yes." Xu Yin nodded.

   Didn’t explain it to my parents: Scholarships and bonuses are two completely different concepts.

  The scholarship is worth one hundred and eighty yuan for one academic year, which is not enough to buy a refrigerator for four years.

   But the bonus is different. The solar panel she designed (the idea comes from the solar caravan that the system rewarded her) is already applying for a patent. Once it is done, the bonus amount can exceed five figures.

  I originally wanted to buy a washing machine for my family, but the country has no tap water, so the washing machine is inconvenient to use.

   What's more, her mother scolded her last time to be a prodigal, saying that she still needs to use a machine to wash clothes? What's wrong!

   Just don’t buy it yet.

   But the refrigerator is definitely needed at home. When the farming is busy, buy more meat and vegetables, and put them in the refrigerator if you can’t finish eating, so as not to spoil overnight.

   This refrigerator was bought during the May Day promotion at the No. 1 Department Store in the Imperial City. It has double doors and a large capacity.

   After buying, put it in the system warehouse. When I got to the town and called Xiaosanka, I found an empty corner and took it out. Home appliance counters in Pingyang County do not necessarily have this model.

   Sure enough, Mother Xu was very happy and praised her for buying the right thing.

With a refrigerator at home, Mother Xu was reluctant to go out for a while. First, she found a clean rag and wiped the refrigerator inside and out. , Mixed cold dishes and put them on ice... When I woke up in the afternoon, I took it out and looked at it, "Oh! It is indeed a refrigerator, much cooler than the one in Jingshui Town!"

   "..."

  Xu Yin didn't want to see her mother do this kind of naive refrigerator experiment every day, so she brought an expansion schoolbag, rode the enhanced version of the small electric donkey that was modified for the second time last year, and went out to sneak out.

   On the first day, she went to Da'ao Village to see her grandmother.

  When I went, I brought a bag full of special products of the Imperial Capital, and came back with a sack of premium mountain delicacies.

  Da'ao Village has mobilized villagers to contract the mountain since it earned money from selling mountain products.

  Her uncle earns about the same as other villagers on the surface, but actually has a hidden income from Tongcheng.

  The popularity of Shanhuo in Tongcheng is far higher than that in Pingyang County. In less than two years, she followed in the footsteps of her family and became a millionaire household.

  As soon as the contracting documents for this mountainous area came out, he was the first to respond, and contracted the entire hill behind his house.

   Except for the original chestnut and walnut trees, other shrubs and miscellaneous trees were cleared and peach trees were planted.

  The first year of contracting was fruitful, and it was sold for a good price after autumn.

This year is the second year. I thought it would stop for a year, but I didn’t expect to bear fruit after flowering, which is more than last year. According to the cultivation method of fruit trees taught by his niece, some bad fruits were removed, and the remaining ones were big. It's beautiful, and this year is another bumper harvest year.

   Seeing the happy appearance of the old uncle's family smiling from ear to ear, Xu Yin was sincerely happy for them.

  The next day, she went to Houhai Village to visit her sister-in-law’s family, and stopped by the seafood wholesale market to purchase a batch of fresh local seafood.

  In recent years, more and more villages have set up fishery cooperative organizations, and the number of large fishing boats has exceeded ten. The largest seafood wholesale market in the county has also been built nearby.

  The big seafood, which was not common before, has become a frequent visitor in the seafood wholesale market.

  Xu Yin will come here every year when she comes back from winter and summer vacations.

  The wholesale market closed early, so she went to the seafood market first, and then went to her sister-in-law's home after she came out.

  Li's tidal flat breeding business is booming, business is getting better every year, and more species are being farmed every year.

   Today's Li family has long since shed the poverty of the past, built a new house, and expanded the scale of farming. Now they not only have razor clams and clams, but also raise blue crabs and prawns.

  This is polyculture—the tidal flats are separated into pieces, like paddy fields. In areas with water, blue crabs are raised at the bottom, shrimps are raised at the upper layer, razor clams are raised in the tidal flat mud, and cockles are raised at the surface.

  Polyculture can reduce the risk of breeding, but it is very difficult. Thanks to Xu Yin for sending them the "Seafood Polyculture Technical Manual".

  With the unyielding spirit of the Li family and this technical book, which is comparable to a secret treasure, the Li family's farm has become the leading representative of Houhai Village.

   No, seeing Xu Yin coming to the door, Li's mother immediately called her eldest grandson to the farm and brought back a basket of big blue crabs, knowing that Xu Yin likes to eat this.

   Before the meal was ready, it was steamed, mixed with a plate of minced **** and dipped in vinegar sauce, and let Xu Yin eat while chatting. When I leave in a while, bring her some other seafood.

  During the chat, Xu Yin learned that the fishing boat she participated in was very profitable. Perhaps this was the luck brought about by the courage to be the first to eat crabs.

In the winter vacation of the freshman year, as the Li family said, there was no dividend, but a bunch of foreign seafood: hairtail weighing three to four catties, big squid that couldn't hold five catties, and prawns the size of a palm... In the middle of winter that year, Her family had a super bountiful new year.

   In the next few years, I didn’t share seafood again.

  Everyone likes to share money. No matter how delicious the seafood is, there is no real money to come from.

  The dividends of the fishing industry have been increasing year by year, and by last year's Chinese New Year, it had surpassed her father's hard work for a year's harvest.

   She divided the money into three parts: one part for her parents, one part for her brother and sister-in-law to support the family, and her part was basically exchanged for supplies.

  For example, when visiting the seafood market this time, I bought a bunch of fresh seafood that cannot be found in inland cities. I also bought a lot of dry goods such as dried shrimp, eel, and yellow croaker.

   Before returning to school, I will take a trip to Tongcheng to see my brother-in-law and nephews, and bring them some specialties from my hometown.

Her brother was promoted to be the team leader this year, and the house was moved from the original family building to a separate family courtyard. Xu Yin hadn't been there yet, but her sister-in-law sent letters and phone calls, and invited her over to play more than once. The two nephews also shouted that they missed their aunt. It's also good to check the door.

  After leaving Houhai Village, the sun had not yet set in the west, so Xu Yin was not in a hurry to go home, and rode a small electric donkey to the west of the village.

  Fu Lingling got married last year, and she married none other than Xu Yin's cousin, Xu Jianjun, who is just across the room.

  Because of this matter, Xu Jianjun almost fell out with his family, because his mother did not allow him to marry a woman with two oil bottles, even if the other party was a young girl.

  Ke Fu Lingling doesn't want any betrothal gifts, just this one request—to marry with twins.

  The main reason is that she is worried that after she gets married, the twins will stay in her natal family and suffer grievances, so she declares in front of her partner that she will live with her nephews and nieces after marriage.

   Xu Jianjun likes her, and even Ai Wu and Wu also like twins.

  Xu Dajiao cried and howled for several days, during which time he even came to discuss with Xu's mother.

  Mother Xu didn't say anything, but murmured in her heart:

   Am I on good terms with you? I think back then you and I quarreled in the dark over the fact that the ridges of the rice fields took more or less. Have you forgotten? He even asked me to make up my mind.

   Don’t be afraid that I will give you a bad idea: Let you take a pair of scissors and cut off the Jianjun in your house, all problems will be solved, and your dissatisfied daughter-in-law will run away without a trace.

   But do you dare to say it face to face? Said that the two are absolutely sworn enemies.

  So, Mother Xu curled her lips and said:

   "I can't take it. Jianjun is not my son. Could it be that you want to adopt him to me?"

   "Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Da beriberi spit, "I'm asking if there is any way you can prevent him from marrying."

   "Don't let him marry? You want him to be a widower for the rest of his life? That's not right! The widower has married a wife after all. Your Jianjun is so young, do you want him to never marry for the rest of his life?"

   "..."

  Xu Dajiao regretted it, and came to Geng Jinhua to discuss it when he was dizzy.

  Forget it, forget it, the brat marries whomever he likes. She doesn't care!

  The truth is, she can't control it even if she wants to!

  In the past few years, most of the income of the family has been earned by the youngest son.

  Xu Jianjun himself also strives for pride. In order to prevent his wife from being wronged after marrying, he directly approved a homestead and built a small bungalow similar to Xu Yin's family. After marriage, he lived separately from his parents.

   They are indispensable for the annual pension money and various rituals during festivals, but they cannot interfere in his marriage.

  Fu Lingling was moved by his sincerity, and defected to him with her twins and the manuscript fees she had saved in the past few years.

  Because she insisted on not wanting a bride price, her natal family was so angry that they broke off their relationship with her, and they haven't had any contact with her these years.

   Fortunately, the young couple have a good relationship and are happily married.

  The publishing house that Fu Lingling contributed to is trying a new model, and asked her if she would like to publish a collection of essays with the column articles she wrote in the past few years.

  Of course Fu Lingling agreed, but she thought it was just a collection of books, which would not sell well.

  The purse immediately bulged. Last year, I bought a TV set for my parents-in-law and Xu Yin’s family. Xu Dajiao never said anything bad about this daughter-in-law.

  Seeing Xu Yin coming to the door with a gift, Fu Lingling was overjoyed.

   "Yinyin, are you back? When did you come back? Why don't you write a letter in advance so that Jianjun can go to the train station to pick you up. Oh, look at the mess at home!"

  The twins are less than five years old, the age at which cats hate dogs, and there is no quiet time when they are awake.

  The house was finally cleaned up, but it was messed up again after a while.

  Welching Xu Yin in, Fu Lingling made a glass of honey water for her.

   "I went out to deliver goods a while ago after the founding of the army, and brought back a few catties of honey and caramel. That's delicious. You can bring some back later."

  Xu Yin is not polite, the local honey at this time is real local honey, not a little fake.

  She handed her the accompanying gifts: a package of assorted gift boxes from Imperial Capital, two cans, and two catties of brown sugar.

   "I heard from my mother that brother Jianjun is now a millionaire. I know you don't have to worry about food and clothing, so I didn't bring anything else."

"These are very good!" Fu Lingling held her hand, a little choked up, "Thanks to you for helping me these years, I can publish books and earn manuscript fees, thanks to you; I can know Jianjun because of you. I have been thinking , without you, our aunts and nephews don’t know what would have happened..."

  Xu Yin patted her hand: "We are classmates, if we talk about this, we will see each other!"

  Fu Lingling grabbed Xu Yin's special crisp heart candy from the imperial capital for the twins, and asked them to go to the side to play and chat with Xu Yin.

   When I learned that Xu Yin was recommended to Huada as a graduate student, I was really happy for her.

"I used to think that I would go to the college entrance examination when the twins were older, but now that I am married, it is too difficult to continue studying... Fortunately, you sent me that set of books, so that I can learn college knowledge at home, It doesn’t matter if I don’t have a diploma, I can still write anyway, and I can always earn some money to support my family.”

   When Xu Yin was a freshman, she sent Fu Lingling a set of basic textbooks from the Chinese Department, and she would send a set every semester after that.

  At that time, she was not sure whether this set of textbooks would be of great help to Lingling, so she thought that it was a college textbook after all, and it was always right to learn more.

   Now it seems that the effect is still there.

  Although Fu Lingling dropped out of high school in her third year, her temperament and conversation are not weaker than those undergraduate graduates.

   It can be seen that the saying "knowledge empowers people" is justified.

   "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you. Are you twenty-two this year? Have you got a partner?"

   "..." Xu Yin choked out a sentence for a while, "I'm only twenty-one."

  She is still a little girl.

  Before she passed the book, she was still single after her second year of graduate school. In the era of peasant girls, she was single until the end of her life. In this life, she is younger and has no one to talk to. Can the subject have the fragrance of traveling around the world?

  Fu Lingling pursed her lips and smiled: "You are one year old. We all say that according to the imaginary age here. Twenty-two is not too young. There is no conflict between studying and talking with someone?"

   "I'm busy." Xu Yin complained, "I'm either doing experiments or working on papers every day. How can I have that energy."

   "The major you are studying, there should be more boys, right? After four years, you haven't met a matchmaker?"

  Speaking of closing eyes, a face suddenly appeared in Xu Yin's mind, gentle and elegant. Everyone said that his temperament was as gentle and elegant as a breeze and white jade. Only she always felt the alienation and indifference under his gentle surface.

   "Yin Yin?"

   "Huh?" Xu Yin snapped back to her senses.

  Damn it! How could she think of her tutor's right-hand student, her senior brother who was five years older than her, at this moment, the two of them hadn't met each other a few times.

  It was getting late, Xu Yin politely declined Fu Lingling's invitation to stay with her for dinner, and rode a small electric donkey back home.

   After a few days, she didn't go out again.

  The family has to harvest rice and harvest fish, and the first batch of watermelons planted during spring plowing have reached maturity, so they are very busy.

  She doesn't know anything else, but she cooks well, so she takes care of three meals a day at home and herbal tea snacks in the afternoon.

   Needless to say, this year, the old Xu’s family has a bumper harvest of fish, rice and melons, so they don’t need them to sell them. Buyers from all over the country have come to Xujia Village early to guard, and once they are collected, they will be reported according to the order of payment of the deposit.

   "Our No. 1 Cotton Mill needs 800 catties of new rice, 200 rice flower fish, and 100 watermelons."

   "Our machinery factory needs 300 rice flower fish and 300 watermelons."

"us…"

   They are all sent by the unit to purchase Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

  Following the buyers in front of the queue happily took away the ordered fish melons, those in the back row couldn't help but get anxious.

   "Brother, save some for us!"

   "That's right! Don't lose our turn!"

  Old man Xu cheered cheerfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, except for the new rice, there are still fish and melons, which are enough for your family to share."

  In fact, the purchasers all want to buy some new rice from the old Xu’s house. Even if you don't purchase for your unit, it's good to buy some for your small family.

  Old Xu’s early rice is better than the round-grained rice at the grain station. It’s soft and fluffy.

   No matter what they say, the old Xu family is only willing to sell two acres of new rice at most, and the other two acres are said to be kept for their own food.

  Xu Yin stayed at home for half a month, spent the busy farming season, and the work in the field was relatively leisurely, and it was about time for her to go back to school, and she had to get off the bus in Tongcheng halfway to see her brother-in-law.

  Mother Xu had no choice but to let her go.

  My daughter is going to study for further studies. For her future, being parents can't hold back.

"These four hundred catties of new rice will be checked by your father, two hundred catties will be sent to your brother, two hundred catties will be sent to your school, and another fifty catties of glutinous rice will be brought to you in exchange for Jianjun's family. Don't you like it?" Do you want to eat glutinous rice? Now that the dormitory is open, if you want to eat it, you can steam it yourself."

   While talking, Xu's mother took out the four sacks of rice that were going to be checked in, and packed another fifty catties of glutinous rice for her daughter.

  Xu Yin was speechless: "Mom, how can I eat so much?"

  The mentor helped her get a single-room dormitory, and if she wanted to start a business and buy a coal stove, she just mentioned it, but she didn't expect her parents to keep it in mind, so don't post rice to her.

  The most indispensable thing in her system warehouse is food. When she was a peasant girl, she made enough money with ancient brown sugar and canned fruits, and finally donated half of it, and she exchanged the remaining half for daily necessities such as grain and cloth. Among them, food accounts for the largest proportion.

  But Xu's mother didn't know, she only knew that it used to be a seven-person dormitory, and no grouping was allowed, otherwise she would have sent new rice to her daughter long ago. The rice in the cafeteria is not as delicious as the freshly rolled rice at home.

   "Anyway, you don't need to carry it by yourself. When the rice arrives, you pay some money to hire a mistress to transport it to the dormitory for you."

  After Xu’s mother had settled down, she urged the old man to find a tractor driver in the village and send her daughter to the train station.

  Xu Yin hasn't been to Tongcheng for two years, but she roughly remembers Aunt Xu's tailor shop.

"sister in law!"

  Hearing a familiar voice, Mrs. Xu raised her head suddenly, saw her sister-in-law looking at her with a smile, and stood up excitedly:

   "Yinyin, come in quickly! It's a hot day and you're still carrying so many things. You don't have heat stroke, right? Why don't you tell me in advance so that I can let your brother pick you up."

   "Fortunately, Rice has done the consignment, I can carry these things."

  My sister-in-law rarely came, so Mrs. Xu simply closed the shop, pushed her bicycle, and drove her home for a ride.

"Since you moved, you haven't been here, have you? It's a little way from here, and it takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle. But fortunately, it's quiet, and they are all single-family houses, with yards in front and back. I planted a lot of vegetables. Do you like it?" What to eat, I will make it for you in a while."

   "Are Doudou and Ding Ding okay?"

   "Well, it's just Pi. I can't stay for the summer vacation, and I run around with the kid from the head of the next door Jiang's house every day. Why don't I go to their grandma's house to play today, and I won't see anyone until dark."

  In recent years, Xu Zhinian's small family has also changed every year. After moving into the single-family courtyard, I bought refrigerators, TVs, fans, and washing machines.

   Among them, most of them were contributed by sister-in-law Xu.

The business of her tailor shop is very good. Not only the people looking for her to make clothes line up, but also the nearby garment factories all come to her door, wanting her to go to the factory to make patterns, and even want her to mentor apprentices. Xu Zhinian's allowance is gone.

  But after thinking about it, she felt that the reason why she could make fashionable clothes was all due to the design drawings sent by her sister-in-law regularly.

  Without my sister-in-law, she could at best make clothes, but she would definitely not be able to make such beautiful clothes. Isn't it a Huo Huo person to go to a clothing factory to lead apprentices? This is called virtue does not match.

  Besides, she is a good tailor. She is free and earns money, so why go to a factory to be restricted.

   Talked to Xu Yin on the phone, Xu Yin also said the same thing, Mrs. Xu's waist became stronger, and she refused to go if she couldn't.

Later, the garment factory discussed with her, whether it is possible to say hello to them in advance when a new style is released, and they want to buy the design drawings, and she can still make it in the tailor shop, anyway, the garment factory is mass-produced, sporadic one order or two orders Can't affect them.

   This is no problem.

   Mrs. Xu made a decision after thinking about it.

   She recorded all the money earned from the design drawings in her sister-in-law's name, and she was not greedy for a cent.

  When I got home, I cooked a bowl of noodles for my sister-in-law. Mrs. Xu went in and took out a big thick envelope:

   "Here! Here are the dividends from the tailor shop and the design draft fee from the garment factory this year. Are you counting correctly? The ledger is here."

  Xu Yin refused the first few times, but it was useless. Now it's the fourth year, no longer hypocritical, accept it calmly: "Thank you sister-in-law."

"I also want to thank you." Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "I use my brain to help me draw the design drawings every month. Without these new styles you sent, how could I earn so much with my elm head. I also told your brother that our family depends entirely on your help. Without you, how can we have a good life now. Your brother thinks so too. "

  Xu Yin's face was a little hot from the compliment.

  Hurry up and give the things you brought at home to your sister-in-law.

   There are homemade pickles, stewed meat sauce, and dried seafood and seafood sauce that my sister-in-law’s family asked her to bring.

   Mrs. Xu arranged them one by one, and took Xu Yin to the room specially arranged for her: "It's hot, so I prepared a towel blanket for you, the electric fan is placed on the bedside, and the mosquito coil is under the bed..."

   "Sister-in-law, these two bags are..." When Xu Yin entered the door, she saw two hemp bags stacked in the corner, with her name written on them.

   "Oh, these are eiderdown quilts, one bed weighs three catties, and one bed weighs five catties. Don't worry about the weight, this quilt will keep you warm, and five catties will last you through the winter."

Having said that, Mrs. Xu patted her head, "Have I not told you yet? The family courtyard has set up a collective factory called duck down garments, and also makes quilts. I think it's quite warm, so I'll order it for you too." I made a few. I also have clothes, all wrapped in quilts. Your brother said that you were admitted to graduate school, so the dormitory must be changed accordingly, right? I didn’t send it yet, and I want to contact you before sending it.”

   "Thank you, sister-in-law, for taking your troubles." Xu Yin was really moved.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "I didn't bother, I just made two more beds. Your brother teased me, asking if it was warmed up in advance. After all, when you get married, you have to prepare ten beds and eight beds. But you Don't worry, no matter how many beds, my sister-in-law will arrange it properly and will never embarrass you."

  Xu Yin囧.

  What happened recently? I can't get around this topic every now and then, right?

   Mrs. Xu caught a glimpse of her little expression, and couldn't help asking narrowly: "Is there really no one in school?"

   "..." Sister-in-law, please let me go!

  …

  Xu Yin stayed in Tongcheng for three days, taking her two nephews to eat and drink every day, and hoarding some Tongcheng specialties by the way.

  Huzhou mutton and prairie mutton have different tastes. Grassland mutton is suitable for roasting, while lake mutton is suitable for stewing. Especially in cold weather, stewed with a pot of hot mutton and radishes, the taste is amazing.

  Cashmere products in Tongcheng are becoming more and more abundant.

   I remember the first time I came to Tongcheng, I was satisfied with buying cashmere yarn. Now, besides cashmere yarn, there are also cashmere garments of various colors.

  Mohair has become popular in the past two years. She bought three colors in one go: beige, blue gray, and carmine, and she will wear it in a black woolen coat. Which girl doesn't love beauty?

   As for the food, I didn't miss it.

  The little nephew took her to the mother's house of the head of Jiang's daughter-in-law, and bought the hairy crabs that she could never buy as she wished, all of which were more than eight taels.

  The big hard pliers, Xu Yin wouldn't dare to grab them if they weren't tied with straw ropes. How can the hairy crabs of later generations be so fierce and energetic?

   On the third night, Mrs. Xu arranged a table of noodles for Xu Yin's farewell party.

  Xu Zhinian took out a bottle of Maotai rewarded by the leader, and poured a cup for Xu Yin as well.

  Holding the wine cup, Xu Yin couldn't keep her mouth shut.

  If this Moutai is left to future generations, it will be of great value.

   Looking up, her brother has already drunk it.

   "..."

  Then she is also welcome.

   I don’t know if Moutai is too intoxicating, or the sun is too strong to make her dizzy...

  In short, until the next evening when she got off the train in the imperial capital, she still felt dizzy, and even had hallucinations in front of her eyes:

  The tutor's beloved student—her senior brother who has never seen the end of the dragon, stood in front of her with a dignified temperament, saying that the teacher sent him to pick her up...
