Chapter 773: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (6)

 This small body is actually quite weak.

There are three brothers and sisters in the family. There is no doubt that the eldest son Xu Yong is the most loved one by his parents. He is the only male in the family and the eldest son. In the future, he will be beaten by the two of them. Whenever there are any good things, they will naturally stick to him first. .

 The second one is Xu Cui. Firstly, she is the eldest daughter. Secondly, she is more eloquent. She makes her parents happy and gets some things.

Only the youngest daughter, Yuan Shen, is honest and kind. She knows that she is at a disadvantage and does not fight for it. The clothes on her body and the shoes on her feet are all leftovers from her brothers and sisters.

 Hence, your body will be weak when you are young. Fortunately, when she was fourteen years old, Grandpa Xu dug a small ginseng in the mountain. He felt sorry for her because she was so thin, so he fed her a bowl of ginseng soup behind the back of others.

That year, she grew taller by more than ten centimeters. Otherwise, a height of 1.5 meters would be too much now.

 It’s a pity that my grandfather, who was the best to me, passed away from a heart attack due to a sudden cold wave last winter.

 Perhaps this is the foreshadowing of the plot. After all, if his old man were here, he would never sit back and watch Xu Cui abandon the triplets and run off to work in the city.

Xu Yin sighed in her heart, her family in this life seemed to be worse than in the 1960s. After all, Father Xu was on her side in that life, and she was a polished commander in this life. It is not yet known whether Comrade Xiaojin will appear.

 The only good thing is that the reclamation point is far enough away from Yuanshan County. The Xu family couldn't bear to travel so far if they wanted to go back to her. Besides, no one here knows her, just be herself.

When the reclamation team completes its mission and has to return to its hometown, it will be at least three to five years later. By then, she will be in her twenties and a real mature woman. Isn't it normal for people to change?

 "Xu Yin? Xu Yin? What are you thinking about? Here we are!"

The thought of running away was pulled back by Xiao Jing.

 While distracted, they had arrived at the center of Hewozi Village where the houses were relatively concentrated.

The liaison officer responsible for the reception has already explained the purpose of his visit to the villagers here.

I heard that the national reclamation team came to open up wasteland nearby, and the villagers welcomed it.

What's more, the land reclamation team members will not stay for free, but will be given some subsidies from above. Even if it’s just a meaning, not too much, that’s not bad. It's just a place to stay, the food and accommodation will be taken care of by the reclamation team members themselves, so they don't have to worry about it.

　Who wouldn’t be happy if you squeeze in and make some room to earn some income for your family?

So, the villagers applauded enthusiastically, shouted "welcome, welcome" and "warm welcome", and rushed for invitations:

“Before the house is built, feel free to come and live in our house!”

“Our big Kang can sleep more than a dozen people.”

“It’s the same in our house. It’s so crowded that we can sleep a lot more.”

The young guys and girls in the reclamation team were dumbfounded when they heard this: What? Sharing a bed with the villagers? No way?

Fortunately, the captain was more witty. Facing the enthusiastic villagers, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness! But we are here to work, not as guests. How can we sleep on the host's kang? What's more, if we build a house, It doesn’t mean that we can build it today and move in tomorrow. It will take a lot of time. I can’t trouble you every day during this period. You might as well give us a woodshed or a shack. It doesn’t matter if the conditions are almost the same. The key is not to affect your normal work and rest.”

 Xu Yin gave the captain a thumbs up in her mind: This is a beautiful statement!

Sure enough, the villagers were very happy after hearing this. They smiled from ear to ear and said, "You have come all the way here to reclaim wasteland. It is a great thing for the country and the people. How can we let you live in deserted woodsheds and shacks?" ?”

"It's okay, our remote mountain reclamation team is all young people. They are young and energetic, and are not afraid of the cold!" Xiao Jing and other young women whose fingers were stiff and feet were numb from the cold said: "..."

 I don’t even believe this myself!

As the captain, Fu Rongxing discussed with the liaison officer and decided to let the team members live in the villagers' homes in groups of three or two, so that they could take care of each other. After all, we can't communicate with the villagers, so we can discuss anything with each other.

This arrangement is very much in line with the wishes of the young women. They are new here and like to do everything together.

Xiao Jing happily said to Xu Yin and Huang Xiaohong: "We just agreed, let's live together!"

 “Yes, yes!” Huang Xiaohong nodded vigorously.

 Xu Yin can do it.

Other people also formed teams in twos and threes, and were taken back and resettled by the villagers who had empty houses at home.

Xu Yin and the other three followed a cheerful woman in her fifties or sixties to her home.

The young people in the village all called this woman "Aunt Fang", and Xu Yin and the other three also called her the same.

Aunt Fang introduced the situation at home to them along the way:

"...There are seven people living in our family now. My wife and I, my eldest son's family of three, and two unmarried daughters. You can live with my daughter if you want. Their house has a kang. You are all young people. , can we talk about it together, right? There is an empty house, which my sister-in-law lived in before she got married. The area is a bit small, and the kang has collapsed and has not been repaired. If you want to live in it, let my wife give it to you tomorrow. The kang is ready."

Xu Yin and the three of them looked at each other and said they lived in an empty house.

　　However, when we arrived, we discovered that Mrs. Fang’s family only had three rooms in total: she and her husband lived in one room, the eldest son and his family lived in one room, and the two daughters lived in half a room.

 Aunt Fang’s sister-in-law lived in the other half before she got married. After she got married, half of her boudoir was divided into a barn, leaving only a place for a fire pit, so as not to have no place to stay when she returned to her parents’ home.

It’s just that my sister-in-law has not been back to her parents’ home in the past few years since her husband joined the army. Even after the kang collapsed, she didn’t even bother to repair it during the cold weather.

 Xu Yin and the other three were facing a narrow room with a corner of the fire pit that had collapsed. You looked at me, and I looked at you.

This kang was not big to begin with, and one-third of it collapsed, leaving the remaining two-thirds barely big enough for two people. It was a bit crowded for three people anyway.

Aunt Fang neatly took away the sundries on the kang and said while cleaning: "I think you can live with my daughter. There is no problem with four or five people in their house. The kang has not been burned in this house for a long time, and it is damp. Very heavy."

It's more than just the humidity...

Xiao Jing looked around and saw that the corners of the wall were covered with spider webs and there was a mouse hole at the base of the wall. Since no one had lived in it for many years, clutter had been piled up, and the musty smell in the room was very pungent. It was okay if she didn't clean it, but when she did, the dust flew up and made her sneeze four or five times in a row.

Huang Xiaohong was not much better either. Her parents were both working in a large factory, and their family conditions were much better than those of other team members. When she saw such a living environment at first glance, she felt discouraged. She moved her luggage outside and said hesitantly: " How about we listen to the aunt? Let’s squeeze in with her daughter for a while? "

She just took a look at the boudoir of the aunt's two daughters. It seemed to be much more spacious and bright than this one. The big fire bed was also very clean. If there were several people sleeping together, it would be better to choose a larger room with a neat fire bed. Woolen cloth! It also saves them the time to clean and tidy up.
