Su Yuanyuan walked around the house and found nothing that shouldn't be there, so she felt relieved.
At this time, Ma Changshun was already calling outside. Tan Shaoting agreed and went out.
Zhao Qingxiang and the others already knew along the way that Su Yuanyuan was living with a boy here.
The five brothers and sisters didn't understand it very much. In their minds, living together was like a couple.
No one gave them the answer to this idea. So the five brothers and sisters were very entangled. How old is Su Yuanyuan? Why did she get married?
Zhao Yanli was very confused. When she saw Su Yuanyuan coming out, she immediately ran over and said, "Yuanyuan."
"Xiao Li, why are you here? Brother, let's go inside and say it's too cold outside." Su Yuanyuan greeted the five brothers and sisters.
"Xiao Tan, Xiao Su, I've delivered the people. I'll go back first."
"Team Leader Ma, come in and drink water before leaving?"
Ma Changshun waved his hand and left.
Su Yuanyuan invited the five brothers and sisters to come into the house. "Everyone get on the kang. It's too cold here."
"No, I almost wanted to go back when I got off the train." Zhao Yanli and Su Yuanyuan were the most familiar, so she didn't hesitate and got on the kang directly.
"Brother, you all also get on the kang, and I'll get you hot water to drink."
There was no cup at home, so I had to drink water from my rice bowl.
"You just sit down and I'll go."
Tan Shaoting went out for a while, brought in five bowls of brown sugar water, and then sat next to Su Yuanyuan.
"Brother, why are you all here? Are my uncle and the others here too? Where are you assigned?"
"Yuanyuan, five of us brothers and sisters are here. We arrived yesterday and were picked up by the farm here.
Our team leader Tian had all packed up yesterday." Zhao Qingxiang said with a smile.
"Brother, why do you want to come here? What's here is not as good as home."
"Yuanyuan, there is no way to survive if we don't come." Zhao Yanli snorted.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the girl speechlessly. "No matter how difficult it is at home, it's still better than here. There wasn't a drop of rain last year. That means I have a big puddle here, so I can gain something."
"Yuanyuan, it rained at home last year." Zhao Xiaojing sighed and said. When they got here, they realized that it was really too cold here. They really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Yuanyuan, we can't survive at home. The village canteen only provides vegetable porridge every day, which is okay, but we all know that there is not much food.
So I thought about what you said about the Japanese melons on the mountain, so we decided to go up the mountain to have a look.
We asked my dad not to tell my uncle, and my dad agreed. Who knew that the next day, he still told my uncle.
At that time, I felt that it was not worth the fatigue and fear on the mountain.
Even so, we didn’t say there were Japanese melons.”
Su Yuanyuan picked up the brown sugar water and handed it to her, "Drink it first, otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Zhao Yanli took it and drank it. After finishing the drink, she put down the bowl and sighed comfortably.
"We used some pine nuts to cover up, but we didn't expect that shameless Zhao Yanmei to come to my house and want to rob me. Of course I couldn't agree. So the two of us fought together. Her sister also came to help. We fought together.
Already.
My dad actually helped outsiders. I couldn't stand it anymore. So I told my elder brother to come here.
It’s days like this everywhere anyway, so come here and you’ll be less angry.”
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "You are too impulsive. Life is not easy here.
Okay, now that we’re here, let’s do that. By the way, is there water in the well in your yard?”
Nothing is as important as draft.
"Yes, but the amount of water is really not large."
"As long as there is water to eat, where is the food?"
All five people shook their heads.
Su Yuanyuan sighed, "I will give you a bag of cornmeal first, as well as some pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. I also have sauerkraut and pickles at home. You can take some back."
Why should we live a better life? Newcomers like them would be given a hundred catties of grain per person, but why haven’t they been given one yet?
No matter what, let’s have something to eat first.
"Thank you Yuanyuan, we will definitely pay it back." Zhao Qingxiang said, but he still thought it was too simple, and only then did he regret it.
Su Yuanyuan nodded and did not refuse. She knew human nature.
"By the way, this is a letter from Blacksmith Yang in the county. Yuanyuan, are you literate?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "This is Tan Shaoting, I already know how to read with him." She took the letter and put it aside, not reading it now.
"Yuanyuan, I also want to be literate." Zhao Yanli envied Su Yuanyuan.
"Okay, it's okay now. If you want to learn how to read, just come here."
Zhao Yanli was happy now. Anyway, it was a bit difficult to come here, but she felt that she was in a much better mood.
Zhao Yanping looked at the shoe soles on the kang, picked them up and began to put them away.
Su Yuanyuan suddenly remembered. "Sister, it will take nearly two months for your and second sister's skills to be developed. During this time, why don't you collect soles and make shoes to sell in supply and marketing cooperatives?"
Zhao Yanping's eyes lit up. "Is it really possible?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I don't know either, but it's better than waiting. I have a lot of old clothes here. You can take them back. Anyway, if you are idle now, you will be idle."
"Yuanyuan, we just brought a set of needlework."
"It's okay, I have it here. I'll find it for you."
With this way of making money, the five brothers and sisters are now very motivated.
"Yuanyuan, you don't know that Su Daqiang and the others are having a hard time right now." Zhao Yanli was the most gossipy.
"What else can they have to say about it?"
"You don't know, and you don't know why, the two of them are always fighting. And they are too lazy, so the land you opened up is all deserted.
Originally, every household planted some food on their own land, and everyone did the same. They also planted it, but they didn't take care of it at all. I heard that even the sweet potatoes were not harvested much."
Su Yuanyuan frowned, Su Daqiang wasn't that lazy?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anymore.
"Yuanyuan, there are a lot of them in our village. Ever since they started earning work points, they are so lazy that people can't stand it." Her uncle's family is like that.
So that’s it, it’s really hopeless.
Zhao Yanping's hands were very fast and she didn't stop at all. In a short while, the half of the sole was finished.
Su Yuanyuan thinks this is really okay. At least let them support themselves.
"Yuanyuan, you are really good-looking, taller than me, and fairer." Zhao Yanli looked at Su Yuanyuan with envy.
She just smiled. It was really hard to answer this. What could she say?
After that, Zhao Yanli kept talking about things in the village, who was lazy and who had no food to go to the brigade.
