Chapter 395: House Ruiner in the 1970s (26)

Xu Yin went into the city after seeing the little sister.

 Master Li has to repay the favor of lending her meat tickets.

But by this time, the meat stall had already closed, and Xiao Zhu was leaning against the wall and taking a nap.

 “Xiao Zhu.”

“Ah! It’s Comrade Xiao Xu! Why come here at this time? We’ve run out of meat for a long time!”

 “I’m not here to buy meat this time, where is Master Li?”

 “He went to the pig slaughterhouse to order tomorrow’s meat.”

Xu Yin took out the paper bag she brought and said, "These are the wild eggs I picked up on the mountain, and there is also a jar of wild honey. Please help me pass it to Master Li. Thank you for sharing my meat tickets."

 After saying that, he gave Xiao Zhu another handful of wild raspberries: "Sour and sweet, refreshing!"

Xiao Zhu repeatedly waved her hand and refused to take it, so Xu Yin put it down and left.

On the way home, she was thinking about the fact that Xu Yuanyuan was annulled by the Wang family, which made her unexpectedly and a little stressed.

 The plot has gone round and round and returned to its starting point.

From now on, he won’t be involved with the son of the director of the agricultural machinery factory, right?

Unexpectedly, her words turned out to be a prophecy.

 Before the busy farming season came, Xu Yin took some time to visit her little sister at school.

 The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so I brought her a basket of red bean rice dumplings and candied date rice dumplings made by myself.

Meat rice dumplings and egg yolk rice dumplings are not popular these days. Not only are they expensive, but you can’t buy so much meat.

The same goes for egg yolks. Before the busy season, I had a few eggs at home, and they were all used for cooking to replenish nutrients. How could I save them to pickle salted eggs?

Xu Lan took a bite, and it turned out to be sweet. She said happily: "Second sister, have you left out the ingredients? The auntie steamed only one small white rice dumpling in the morning, which is not enough for me to eat one bite."

Xu Yin pinched the tip of her nose: "Okay, just eat what you have. I brought you ten bean rice dumplings, ten date rice dumplings, and glutinous rice. Don't eat too much at once. Just pad your stomach. It's cool in this weather." If you can’t live with it, take it back and let my aunt steam it to heat it up for breakfast tomorrow.”

"I know." Xu Lan ate one candied date rice dumpling with satisfaction, and then another red bean rice dumpling before she felt full. "Second sister, you don't know, right? The eldest cousin is getting engaged soon, and the conditions of this time's partner are It’s even better than the one last time. The aunt is always smiling and satisfied.”

Xu Yin's heart skipped a beat and she asked tentatively: "My cousin's new partner won't be from an agricultural machinery factory, right?"

"Eh? Second sister, do you know? The eldest uncle went back to my grandma's house and told her? Isn't that right? He is still the son of the director of the agricultural machinery factory! From now on, the eldest uncle's family and the factory director's family will be in-laws. No wonder the eldest uncle doesn't blame me and Tao Tao Tao, if it weren't for us, there would be no chance for the cousin to marry the factory director's son. I think the aunt should give me and Tao Tao a matchmaking gift of a big pig's knuckle..."

 Xu Yin: “…”

 You are a primary school student, why do you want to take over the job of a matchmaker? What do you want the matchmaker to do?

 After complaining about the little girl, I started to think about the plot: Is it bypassed or not?

Let’s avoid it. Just like in the novel, Xu Yuanyuan fell out with her first blind date, and the factory director’s son came to propose marriage;

It's not a bypass, this time she didn't interfere with it, the factory director's son successfully proposed marriage, and the two families are about to become in-laws... Looking at it this way, it seems that the plot has been bypassed again.

Xu Yin thought about it over and over again, but she couldn't figure out the ugly Yin Mao.

never mind! Anyway, just don’t get involved!

 She should go back to her countryside and plant her fields! Farming makes her feel safe!

On the Dragon Boat Festival, she was seen by her second uncle because she gave a bunch of rice dumplings to her second elder. Within half a day, the news spread throughout the brigade that her family used glutinous rice to make rice dumplings, and the rice dumplings were made with candied dates and red beans.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 That's the bad thing about the countryside, trivial things are immediately known to everyone. Li Chunxiang suspected that the second elder had either given money or grain to the third elder’s family. Otherwise, how could the third elder’s family, which suffered from famine last year, afford glutinous rice dumplings this year?

So he started arguing with Xu Laoer again: "Your parents are partial! A bowl of water is not fair! The oldest has become a worker, and the third is so lazy that he still has spare money and food to eat meat and glutinous rice dumplings. What about you? Caught in the middle, It’s better if you don’t fall behind!”

Xu Laoer was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He also had to listen to his wife's murmurings. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated: "Don't always say that Lao San is lazy. He has been earning full points for his work every day recently, and he earns no less than me."

“That was also recently. What about before? What about last year? Isn’t the grain he eats now the same as last year? Where did he get the surplus grain to exchange for glutinous rice?”

 “Maybe I borrowed it from someone.”

 “You stupid idiot! I’m too lazy to tell you!”

Xu Laoer turned over: "Then don't say, it's time to go to bed, we have to go to the ground tomorrow."

“…” Li Chun was so fragrant that his teeth itched, “I went down to the ground! I was thinking about that little bit of work all day long, and in the end I couldn’t even eat some minced meat...”

Before she could finish muttering, a man's snoring could be heard beside her, which made her beat the bed board angrily.

In the other room, Xu Laosan was leaning on the bedside, picking his teeth and savoring tonight's dishes with satisfaction.

The second daughter didn’t know what method she used, so she caught two eels and fried them with garlic sprouts sauce. It tasted great with wine and rice.

“Not to mention, the food made by Yin Yin is much more delicious than Sang Sang’s. Why didn’t you notice it before?”

"It used to be that she was lazy. How often did you see her touching the stove? She even didn't want to help the oil pot when it fell over."

 Chen Huilan blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down on the bed.

Of course, if the daughter is said to be lazy, she herself is not much better. She still knows this.

"That's true." Xu Laosan laughed out loud as he thought about it, "I didn't expect that my family's lazy people would live better than other people's families. In these small days, hey... you have to feed me well every day, don't As for the full work points, I will earn even 12 work points."

“Just blow it, I won’t be able to open my eyes in the morning, and I won’t want to get out of bed.”

 “Hey! That’s you, I haven’t stayed in bed lately.”

"What am I? Xu Laosan, tell me clearly! Where did I stay in bed?"

　　"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay, we're okay. Wife, I can't sleep anyway, or something like that, hehe..."

 “…the sign of death!”

The voices of the couple talking became quieter, and were soon covered by the creaking sound of the bed board.

 Xu Yin expressed her frustration at the poor sound insulation effect of the old house, took out a pair of noise-cancelling earplugs, put them on her ears, and fell asleep...

 After entering the busy farming season, Xu Yin no longer ends work early.

 Others worked exhaustingly for half a day, and only completed half a day's work; Xu Yin worked for half a day, and could do as much as others did in one day, and it looked very easy.

 This is because she withdrew her strength and did not use her full strength. Otherwise, the efficiency would scare people to death.

 The fatigue during the double grab is what really makes people fall down from exhaustion.

 After only two days, Xu Laosan was too tired to get out of bed.

　　"It can't be done, it can't be done, I have to take it easy. My daughter, please take a leave for me. Your father, I really can't bear it."

Chen Huilan also beat her shoulders and complained: "My arms are numb and my **** bones hurt. How can I squat down to plant rice? Yin Yin, can you not go tomorrow?"

Xu Yin took out a bottle of medicinal wine to relieve muscle soreness: "Father, mother, you can use this medicinal wine to massage each other, and you will be fine tomorrow."
