Chapter 27 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-law (27)

  Xu Yin's third grade in high school had a city-wide joint exam a few years ago, and after the exam, she had to make up classes for nearly a week before going on winter vacation.

  After the eldest sister-in-law gave birth safely, her heart sank, and then she devoted herself to the final review. This time, she performed very well in the final exam.

   On the way home, I met Xu Jianjun.

  He held a big grass carp in his hand: "Yinyin, I'm going to your house."

   "Send fish to my house?" Xu Yin joked with a smile.

   Unexpectedly, the fish was really given to her. Not only the fish, but also ten yuan.

   "Your drawing, the teacher of my mechanical class said it was very useful after reading it, and applied for a scholarship of 20 yuan for me, but I can only give you 10 yuan." Xu Jianjun scratched his head and said embarrassingly.

  There are ten yuan left. After paying the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the next semester, I will buy cakes and candies for my nephews and nieces at home.

  Xu Yin took the fish, but didn't ask for money.

  She is now rich in the small treasury. The elder brother not only took the initiative to reimburse all the expenses of the sister-in-law when she was hospitalized, but also gave her an extra fifty to buy a new set of clothes for the New Year.

  Including the clothing commission for the past six months, it's less than two hundred.

   "Whoever wants to ask about this blueprint in the future, just don't mention me."

  Xu Jianjun was puzzled: "Why?"

   "I don't want to be famous." Don't want to be investigated, don't want to be studied.

  But Xu Jianjun couldn't figure it out, isn't being famous a good thing?

   "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!"

   "..."

  He was speechless for a moment, paused, scratched his hair and said, "But I seem to have told the teacher about you modifying the bicycle. So what should I do?"

   "Cold salad!"

   "..."

  Xu Yin had a bit of a headache, but luckily she had thought of a way to deal with it beforehand, so she wasn't too worried.

  Whether it is her or the original owner, physics has always been good.

  The original owner was not good at mathematics, and now she has caught up.

   This looks like a typical science student, with an online IQ, interest, can understand blueprints, and successfully refit a bicycle. Who says it can’t be done?

  When I got home, I saw Mother Xu bought a jar of maltose.

   "Mom, is our family going to make rice candy? When will we make it?"

   "Your brother will do it whenever he is free."

  Oh, her elder brother is either chopping firewood or making briquettes these days, and wants to stock up on more firewood for the family. When spring begins, his wife is going to join the army.

  About joining the army, Mrs. Xu is actually a little undecided.

  If it was half a year ago, she would have gone without saying a word.

  Can now...

   "Little sister, if I leave, will we still accept the clothes order?" Wouldn't it be worthless if I didn't accept it?

   "Then I definitely won't answer it."

  The most critical node in the plot has been passed safely. After joining the army, there will be no chance to be tortured by the mother-in-law. What is there to worry about?

  The main purpose of letting the sister-in-law make clothes is not to make money.

   "Sister-in-law, if you want, you can continue in the army. As soon as you put on the newly made woolen coat, someone will definitely come to ask you, and the business will come."

  After hearing Xu Yin's analysis, Mrs. Xu no longer hesitated, and happily prepared for the New Year, and packed the luggage to be brought after the spring.

   Xu's mother was very unhappy with her daughter-in-law's joining the army.

Called my daughter into the room, and wanted to twist her ear: "You silly girl! Why did you agree to your sister-in-law to join the army? She made clothes at home and gave most of them to the family. When she went to the army, she didn't earn a lot of money making clothes. Was pinched by her?"

  Xu Yin picked her ears: "Mom, don't say it so loudly, be careful that my sister-in-law heard it."

"What's the matter? I still want to say it in front of her! Our family is not separated, and we should have handed over to me the more we earn. You shouldn't have started that and let her take a cut. It's good now." It's time to draw out her ambition! I think she doesn't want to go to the army to take care of your brother, she just wants to earn money! She doesn't want to give it to the family after earning it, but wants to hold it in her own hands!"

  Xu Yin twitched the corners of her mouth.

   To be honest, she doesn't understand the thinking of the older generation. Isn't it a good thing that sons and daughters-in-law earn more and live better?

She patiently explained to her mother: "Look, who in the village has a capable sister-in-law? Whose wife earns more than ordinary workers every month? The more the sister-in-law earns, the easier life is for my brother. He sent the allowance to Come here, you don’t have to worry about him having no money to spend. What a wonderful thing! It’s like sister-in-law earning money to support the family, and brother earning money to support your two elders... and me."

  Xu's mother was still not reconciled: "I'm afraid that she won't give it to your brother, and Hu Lang will hold the money by herself."

"No, she still has two children to raise! Stay at home, and you have to help her take care of the baby. If you go to the army, you and your father can relax. When I am admitted to university, I will take you and my father to my university If you want to play for a few days, you don’t have to worry about no one at home with your baby, isn’t that good?”

  Xu's mother gave her a funny look: "It seems that you will definitely pass the exam."

   "Success is certain! It depends on whether you are going to the big capital or Haicheng."

   Xu's mother was coaxed by her: "Okay, then mom will wait!"

   "You still don't believe me!" Xu Yin pretended to be annoyed, and stomped her feet, "Hmph! I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find my sister-in-law to learn how to make clothes!"

   "Go, go! It's best to learn all her crafts. If you don't pass the exam, you can still make money by making clothes at home."

   "..."

  Her mother really doesn't believe that she can pass the exam?

  Anyway, thanks to Xu Yin's enlightenment and comfort that day, Mother Xu no longer objected to Mrs. Xu's joining the army.

  Old Xu’s family had the most prosperous and harmonious reunion year ever.

  On the first day of the first lunar month, the whole family put on new clothes. When I went out, I was envious of all the aunts, aunts and daughters-in-law.

  Men are far less sensitive to new clothes than women are, but they can’t stand the women at home nagging in their ears, and when they meet Xu Zhinian, they can’t help grinding their teeth—they all think they bought it with the salary he contributed.

  Xu Zhinian was blamed, and he didn't know why. He was stared at by the elders of the village throughout the first month, and he just felt baffled.

   On the second day of junior high school, Mother Xu took Xu Yin back to her natal home, and Xu Zhinian took Doudou to Aunt Xu’s natal home.

  Sister-in-law Xu’s family is not very far away, but it is close to the sea, either tidal flats or saline-alkali land, and the bus is not available. It takes at least an hour to ride there.

poverty! Poorer than Da'ao Village! The return gift is usually a handful of kelp, a handful of mud snails, etc., which is very unpopular with Xu's mother.

  If it wasn’t for Uncle Tang’s eldest daughter-in-law who was the matchmaker, she would have bragged about Mrs. Xu, saying how outstanding she is, how capable she is, and the most important thing is that her buttocks are big enough to give birth. Mother Xu would never have thought of finding such a poor in-law.

   After Mrs. Xu married into Lao Xu's family, she was tortured by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and almost didn't dare to go back to her mother's house.

  Because I had a son this year and saved some money, I couldn't help but want to see if my mother's family is okay. When I go to the army in the future, it will be even more difficult to see.

  But she had just given birth and was still breastfeeding her second child, so she asked the man to come.

  Mother Xu curled her lips when she saw this, but the fireworks she brought to her daughter-in-law's natal house were not her money anyway, so she didn't say anything.
