Chapter 19 The best sister-in-law of eight zero (19)
After returning from her grandma's house, Xu Yin went back to school to get her report card.
The enlarged schoolbag contains the clothes that Mrs. Xu has made these days.
In addition to Teacher Qu's daughter's dress, there are also two dresses ordered by the English teacher, and two really good pinch-waisted, round-necked, short-sleeved white shirts requested by the girls in the next class.
I have to say that in the past month or so, Sister-in-law Xu’s skills have become more and more exquisite.
In the past, everyone only thought that the styles were novel, but now the stitches are finer and the details are handled particularly well, no less than those old tailors who open shops in the city.
After hearing these feedbacks, Xu Yin rubbed her chin and wondered if she should persuade her parents to come to the city to buy a storefront and let her sister-in-law open her business in a serious manner.
After thinking about it, I might as well forget it. My sister-in-law is going to give birth safely, and she might follow the cheap brother to join the army in the future. She would rather not be the villain who breaks up the couple.
"Xu Yin, did you fail anything?"
Tong Guihua glanced at her report sheet, turned away unbearably, and asked Xu Yin quietly.
Xu Yin shook her head.
Russian is just above the passing mark, and she is not afraid of the other subjects.
Tong Guihua glanced at her report card and sighed: "You have made great progress in math and English! You couldn't pass mine before in math, but now you have perfect scores. How did you learn it? Please teach me."
"..."
How to learn? Do you suggest she also change her soul?
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Do more questions, practice makes perfect."
Tong Guihua threw herself on the table in annoyance: "Come on, please spare me!"
After taking the report form, Xu Yin carried her schoolbag and went to the office to deliver custom-made clothes to the teachers.
Teacher Qu's daughter happened to be there too, and when she saw the seersucker dress and the cute headdress, she pursed her lips and smiled so happily.
Xu Yin felt quite satisfied, as it was far easier for children to be happy than for adults.
Seeing that his daughter liked it, Teacher Qu was very happy to give her the remaining money, and even ordered two sets of autumn clothes on the spot. He didn't know which fabric to choose, so he simply gave Xu Yin money to help buy it.
Not only Teacher Qu ordered autumn clothes, most of the other teachers also had this idea, and some even brought thick fabrics.
So much so that at the end of the half-day recess, other students received their semester report cards and certificates of merit. In addition to these, Xu Yin also received a bunch of orders and fabrics, and oh, there was also the balance of the previous batch of orders.
It can be said that we returned home with a full load.
As soon as I left the county town, I encountered a team of tractors leaving the city.
She pulled over to the side of the road and let the other person pass first.
Unexpectedly, the leading tractor stopped when it approached her.
"Hey! Little classmate, is it you?"
The person in the driver's seat was not the old master who had taken care of her on the day of farm work.
Xu Yin recognized him and waved to him with a smile.
"Hello, Master Yu!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going home for the holidays? Where is your home? Come up here and give you a ride."
The other party was very enthusiastic and jumped down to help her carry the bicycle onto the carriage.
"Thank you, Master Yu." Xu Yin got on the passenger seat and took a pear from her schoolbag that Tong Guihua gave her to eat and gave it to the master.
"Thank you. I'm on my way."
The tractor team was on their way again, and Xu Yin also learned from the old master's words: they were going to the countryside to earn extra money.
"There are a few villages that don't have enough tractors, so they come to our farm to borrow them. Of course, the borrowing is not free, and you have to pay two yuan for every acre of land plowed." The old master said with a smile.
"As for us, we can get 50 cents per acre as hard work fee. 50 cents is not a lot of money. The family is short of strong labor. In order not to affect the progress of the two-party robbery, they would rather pay us to plow the land. The total number of acres is hard to say!"
When Xu Yin heard this, her heart moved: "Master, let me plow for you. I don't want a commission. You just want to lend me the tractor for half a day after plowing. I'll pay for the diesel myself."
Her early rice is about to be harvested, and after harvesting, she will plant late rice.
In the past, you would either draw lots and wait for the oxen from the production team to pull the plow, or if you couldn't wait, the strong laborers at home would pull the plow.
It's not that there are no tractors in the brigade, but there are so many families, not to mention that even the government has to use one tractor. If we wait in line, who knows whether we can finish planting the rice seedlings before the beginning of autumn.
As the old saying goes: rice seedlings planted after the beginning of autumn cannot be harvested and can only be harvested to feed cattle. This shows how important double harvesting is to farmers.
The old master had seen Xu Yin's plowing skills, which were so skillful that even he couldn't match them. She had no problem plowing, but...
He hesitated: "You really don't want money?"
"I really don't want it."
“Are you sure the plow is going faster than expected?”
"Sure!"
"Okay, you come and replace me first, and I'll lend it to you for half a day when I'm done. If it works, others will probably be willing to let you replace me."
It's like hiring a laborer for free, it saves more time than plowing the plow themselves, so why not do it.
"Thank you, master!"
Xu Yin got off the bus at the entrance of the town and made an appointment tomorrow to plow the fields for them in Xiangfu Village, the first village in the next town to start harvesting.
When she got home, she told Xu's mother that she was going out tomorrow. Xu's mother thought she was going to hang out with her classmates in the city, so she didn't ask any questions.
Anyway, the family only has this little farmland, so there is no need for her to work in the fields.
"Mom will give you some more money. You can make yourself a piece of silk yarn and let your sister-in-law make a beautiful skirt."
Xu Yin didn't ask for it: "Mom, I have money."
Xu's mother finally gave her the money and said that if she saw free meat while shopping, she would bring some back.
"Give your father and uncle some replenishment. I'm afraid the skin will peel off due to fatigue in the next few days."
Xu Yin: "..."
If she really wasn't going shopping, where could she get some meat?
There must be a reasonable way to get things out of the system warehouse.
"Meat? We have it on the farm!"
When we arrived at Xiangfu Village the next day, the old tractor owner heard her muttering about where to get some free meat and grinned.
"You asked the right person. I haven't used my meat purchase quota for the second half of the year. I can give you two kilograms, so I consider it as a return of the favor."
He originally felt embarrassed to ask a little girl to help him plow the fields, but instead he sat in the shade of a tree, smoking and chatting.
Now that's good, since his family has many people working on the farm, excluding his pork quota, his son and daughter-in-law each have five pounds, so they don't have to worry about running out of pork during the Chinese New Year.
In previous years, I would always let someone go out as a favor at the end of the day, so why not let this little girl weigh two pounds?
"Really?" Xu Yin frowned upon hearing this, "Thank you very much!"
"Why are you so polite? Just plow the land well."
"That is required!"
Xu Yin turned on the "scene simulation" function and divided the land to be plowed into ridges for a single task.
The tractor body had already been removed and replaced with a plow, which was plowed at full power.
The scene simulation shows the completion time, making people more focused.
And for every half acre plowed, 50 energy points will be awarded.
Achieving intermediate or advanced driving skill achievements will also provide additional rewards, giving people a unique sense of accomplishment.
The greater the sense of accomplishment, the more efficient the plow will be.
No, she had already plowed one acre of land, while the veteran tractor who started at the same time as her had only plowed three thirds.
