Chapter 387 Disturbing Housewives in the 1970s (18)

   Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Xu Yin took a deep breath:

   "Father, mother, I'll say it again, if you have something good at home, don't talk about it! You can't control your mouth, I won't buy anything for you in the future, let's go back to the old days of eating bran and swallowing vegetables!"

  As soon as he heard that braised pork and roasted knives and filters were going to stay away from him, Xu Laosan hurriedly expressed his opinion:

"I must keep my mouth shut! Really! Why don't you just keep your mouth shut? It's not easy? Girl, don't worry, your father and I will only open your mouth if you want it to open your mouth. If you don't want it to open your mouth, use a saw to saw it Don't let go!"

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Huilan also patted her chest and assured, "We will never tell anyone about it in the future. There are delicious foods, and we can eat them secretly at home. But girl, you promised me that you can't just wear the new clothes at home, right?"

   This is too embarrassing for her, new clothes can't be worn out, what's the difference with old clothes? People don't know that she has new clothes.

"..." Xu Yin rested her forehead and sighed, "You can still wear new clothes, but you have to wait until after the autumn harvest, when you get the money from the work points to make them for you! This way everyone will know that they are earned by work points, and whoever wants to be jealous, you will be angry." Go back and let them earn full work points!"

   "That's right! It's a truth!"

  As soon as she heard that the new clothes were not lost, Chen Huilan regained her energy in an instant, and the girl could do whatever she wanted.

  The villagers couldn’t help but wonder when they didn’t see Mr. and Mrs. Xu coming out after dinner to brag about the mountains for several days:

   "What has the third child been doing lately? He hides at home when he doesn't go to work. When did he like staying at home so much?"

   "Isn't the third daughter-in-law the same? These two couples have been very mysterious recently. Ask them, and they don't say what they are doing. It's strange! It's so strange!"

   "Didn't you see that the third child has been working hard recently, and the former one actually took the initiative to ask the captain to assign him a job of digging the ground."

   "Really? Did the third child really take the initiative to **** the ground? Didn't follow his wife to pull weeds?"

"I was right next to the captain at the time, and I heard it clearly. No, I was assigned to his second daughter's group yesterday. Anyway, I can't finish the job, and his second daughter is responsible for it. The father and daughter earn 20 work points a day. I'm so envious! "

   "The third daughter-in-law also gets 7 work points every day during this period, and she is considered diligent among women."

   "What did the family of three eat? Suddenly changed sex?"

   What else can I eat?

   Every now and then it's either fish or meat!

Since catching her parents to go to the farm to earn work points, Xu Yin has credited about twenty energy points every day. She is happy and generous. Sometimes she catches a fish, scoops a bowl of shrimp, and sometimes goes to the city to find the aunt who shared her meat tickets last time and ask her for help. Get some meat tickets, not a catty, half a catty, or two taels are fine, and occasionally stew a meat dish for the couple as a tooth sacrifice.

  No, Xu's family is eating meat again today.

  But this time it was not Xu Yin who bought it, but Xu Sangti.

Xu Sang put together the matchbox, and asked her man to deliver it to the match factory this morning, and got back a dollar. She tried to exchange it with someone for a half-jin meat ticket, cut off a small piece of buttocks, and brought it back. natal family.

  She came here specially to take advantage of the good weather, thinking that she would definitely help the house with cleaning.

  Dirty clothes and bed sheets changed by parents are estimated to have piled up in several pots.

   There is also a private plot at home that needs to be weeded, fertilized, and summer vegetables are planted again, so I specially wear old clothes that are fully patched.

   Stepping into the yard, Xu Sang was a little confused: Is this her natal family? Are you right?

  The back foot did not dare to get off the ground.

  Take two steps back with the meat in hand, confirm the gate and wall of the courtyard, it’s my mother’s family!

   "Sangsang is going back to her mother's house? I haven't been here for a while, what are you busy with?"

  The old lady next door leaned out of the wall to greet her.

  Xu Sang was even more sure that he had gone the right way.

   This is my mother's family!

  How has it changed?

  After entering the door, she saw the difference from before:

  The yard was swept clean, and the laundry was hung on the drying rack built of bamboo poles;

  The vegetable field along the courtyard wall is surrounded by stones. The green onions, garlic and peppers are growing very well. In the corner, two azaleas, which are in flowering period, are transplanted, which are bright red.

  There are no messy piles of dirty clothes in the room, the chairs are arranged neatly next to the wall, and the table on the ground is clean.

  I used to clean the wall surface with cobwebs every time I came here, and now it’s also clean.

  Looking at the kitchen, the stove was polished brightly, and the cupboards showed the original wood color. The dishes and chopsticks were washed and placed in the bowl sink and chopstick cage.

  The rice jars, water jars, and pickle jars in the corner are all spotless.

  Xu Sang couldn't believe his eyes.

  When did parents become so diligent?

"sister?"

  At this time, Xu Yin finished the morning work as usual, and came back from work early to make lunch. She was not surprised to see Xu Sang.

  Seeing the meat she brought, I guessed it: "Did you hand in the matchbox?"

"Handed in!" Speaking of this, the smile on Xu Sang's face became brighter, "Your brother-in-law came back and said that the eldest sister who checked and accepted was very satisfied with my pasted matchboxes, and this time she gave me 2,000 matchboxes just like before. "

  Xu Yin felt relieved: "That's good! From now on, this job will be yours. But you'd better not tell the outside world, brother-in-law should go and come back quietly when he goes to the city."

   "I know! It's up to you to say that, we both hope that no one will know that I am pasting matchboxes, otherwise people who come to inquire about it will not be driven away."

  The two sisters were talking and started making lunch.

  In addition to a small piece of meat, Xu Sang also brought some other things, including the wild vegetables she dug early in the morning, and the dried bamboo shoots that Grandma Zhou dried herself.

   "Didn't you bring a bag of chicken cakes last time? I gave it to Grandpa Yongjun, and they knew you bought it, so they forced me to bring a bag of dried bamboo shoots and vegetables. When it's hot, you can drink it with soup to quench your thirst and eat."

  Xu Yin saw that the dried bamboo shoots and vegetables were well dried, so she said: "Then let's eat steamed and braised pork today! Give parents a change of taste."

  It is mainly half a catty of meat, and the stewed braised pork is too small for one person. It's better to cut it thinner and steam the meat.

  Xu Sang found out that most of the housework was done by the second younger sister, but it was the parents who washed their own clothes. This is also a big improvement.

   Put it aside, I dare not even think about it.

  And now my father and mother go to the field to earn work points every day, my father has earned 10 work points for several days, and my mother also earns 7 work points every day.

  Xu Sang was pleasantly surprised by this.

  Last month, when she went back to her natal home, her parents were still lazy in bed all day long, even if they had to go to work, they would sneak back to sleep within half a day. How did the second sister persuade them to work full-time?

   And the third and third Xu didn't know until they came back from work: the second daughter handed over the work of the matchbox to the eldest daughter.

"Sangsang, how is Yinyin treating you? I will miss your second sister more in the future." Youngest Xu took a sip of his wine contentedly, ate a peanut that his second daughter fried for him, and said, " Hurry up and meet a suitable partner, ask him if he wants to marry, and introduce him to your second sister."

  Xu Sang's eyes widened in surprise: "What? The second sister wants to recruit a son-in-law?"

   "What are you making such a fuss about! Your second sister nodded on this matter."

  Xu Yin followed her father's words and nodded: "That's right, big sister, but I have to choose a partner by myself. I don't have high requirements, as long as I have a good eye, but I don't want crooked melons, delicious and lazy ones."

  Xu and his wife: "..."

   Feeling projected.
