Chapter 202 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (Extra 1)
The annual graduation season.
Luggage packages can be seen everywhere in the dormitories of graduating students. As job assignments are approaching, everyone is about to go their separate ways.
Xu Yin's physics major has only seven girls in three classes. They are jokingly called the "seven fairies" by the outside department. They just fit into a dormitory, and she is the only one studying for graduate school, and she is recommended.
Really, the achievements in these four years are too remarkable.
As soon as she entered the freshman year, many freshmen were still in the adaptation stage. She entered the college laboratory with the design drawings of a solar farm machine, and was led by her professor to participate in a national key investment project to convert old and new kinetic energy.
In the next three years, I don’t know whether it was the laboratory that took her away, or she took her away from the laboratory. Everything related to solar energy - such as the portable farming machine that she came up with for her parents to work easily, and other things like the
She knows everything about solar generators that can survive power outages, as well as the solar car design drawings that were submitted recently.
Studying as a research fellow seemed to be an easy task for her, and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences wanted to recruit her to work there in advance.
Going in and out of the same dormitory, it seems that she has had a smooth life in the past four years, and even before she graduates, prestigious institutions like the Chinese Academy of Sciences are rushing to get her; as for others, they can only wait for the school to arrange it - if they are lucky, they will be assigned a good institution.
If you are unlucky, you may go to a poor place where the economy is far inferior to that of the imperial capital. How can you not be envious?
But it's only limited to envy. If the gap is too big, you can't even be jealous.
Dormitory director Ye Mei was helping Xu Yin pack her luggage and move to the dormitory of the institute, while sighing:
"Sister Yin, I don't know when we will see each other again. Spring City is far away from here. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come to the Imperial Capital again. If my child is admitted to a school in the Imperial Capital in the future, you have to help me.
ah."
Xu Yin was thinking about which ones to take home and which ones to take to the dormitory. Before she could react, Chen Mei'e on the side chuckled and said:
"Boss, you are thinking too far ahead. You have just graduated and already want your children to go to college. Where is my brother-in-law? Did you catch him flying in the sky?"
Everyone in the dormitory is happy.
Ye Mei herself couldn't help laughing: "I just said that, who asked us seven sisters to stay in the imperial capital? Who can I entrust her to?"
"Then it's possible to get admitted to Hehai. Why don't you leave it to me?" Lu Chunqun, who was assigned to the Hehai Machinery Factory, joked.
"That's right, that's right. No matter where my child goes in the future, as long as it's in the city where you are, I have to help him. The same goes for me. Your child can come to Chuncheng to study or live in my house."
A bunch of people were laughing and joking, and Xu Yin's luggage was packed.
She bought a train ticket for this evening and went home to visit her parents.
There was an industry seminar in late July, and the instructor asked her to follow her to attend. Then, as expected, she would follow her instructor into the laboratory.
Therefore, this summer vacation is not as enjoyable as two months, and it lasts for twenty days.
Most of the luggage was moved to the graduate dormitory, and I only had a duffel bag with a change of clothes on hand.
The expanded schoolbag has been lying in the system warehouse for most of the past few years. If I don't change it for four years, I am worried that my classmates will find out.
And she was reluctant to spend thousands of energy points on other styles of expansion backpacks.
In the past four years, she had earned some energy points by riding a bicycle and helping the agricultural college drive tractors and farm machines, which was enough to redeem an expansion backpack.
But I just can’t bear it.
With those energy points, what’s not to do with it?
Wouldn’t it be delicious to add more watermelon seeds or other vegetable and fruit seeds to Dad?
Before leaving, I hugged my roommates one by one.
Ye Mei is right about one thing: this farewell is far away, and we don’t know how long it will take to see each other again.
The most common thing during the graduation season is the sadness of separation.
"I like traveling and will visit you when I have time." Xu Yin patted their shoulders.
In the past four years, she has been running away a lot.
In addition to going home during the winter and summer vacations, and during short holidays such as May Day and National Day, unless the professor takes me to the laboratory, I usually go to surrounding cities for sightseeing.
Firstly, let’s take a look at the northern towns in the early 1980s, and secondly, satisfy your own collecting habit.
God knows where the novel world that will welcome her next will be.
Since the system warehouse is following her, it would be a fool not to make preparations.
When you encounter good supplies, stock them up. If you stock up too much, sell them appropriately to earn some pocket money.
In short, don’t treat yourself badly no matter where you are.
She has been to the grassland closest to the imperial capital, and tasted and bought many grassland specialties, including cheese, milk slices, and beef and mutton.
In the system warehouse lay a steaming roasted whole lamb, and hundreds of kilograms of beef and mutton, both raw and cooked.
I have been to the busy Jinshi Port, tasted the twists, steamed buns, pancakes and fruits there, and bought many sea crabs, Pipi shrimps, tongue soles, white pomfrets, and large prawns that are not seen in Houhai Village;
I also visited Chengde, the favorite summer resort of ancient emperors, and stocked up on a batch of delicious and hunger-resistant donkey rolls, flower rose cakes, and cakes made with mineral water and almonds. It is said that in ancient times, only emperors, concubines, and princes could eat them.
Almond syrup that only nobles can afford;
I have also been to Luancheng Ancient Town, where the donkey meat barbecue is a must-have, as well as donkey hide gelatin, lotus leaf chicken, braised chicken, and sheep intestine soup. If you are tired of it, try the local pickles...
In short, she has visited almost all the tourist towns around the imperial capital in the past four years.
Apart from buying some gifts for my parents, the rest of the bonuses and scholarships given by the school are basically used on this.
It’s unclear whether other people’s college careers are fulfilling. Anyway, her four years of college were fulfilling and satisfying.
Next, I want to go to the south for a walk, but I don’t know if the instructor is willing to give her a long vacation.
"Yinmei, come to Hehai during your next vacation, and I'll take you to eat Hehai's special snacks!" Lu Qunchun said.
Others also invited Xu Yin to the city where they worked.
"Okay, okay." Xu Yin agreed, "When the holiday comes, as long as I don't go home, I'll go to your place. Just don't bother me then."
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Yin said goodbye to them.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
Xujiacun has changed a lot in the past four years.
Every household raises rice croakers and has two crops of rice a year, and the rice croakers also harvest two crops.
Other villages were jealous and started raising them the next year. Unfortunately, they were not as plump and tender as those raised in Xujia Village.
The same goes for sandy watermelons. Other villages and towns obviously have sandy land, and they also follow the example of Mr. Xu and use pond mud to fertilize, but the watermelons grown are not as delicious as those in Xujiacun.
Gradually, rice fish and watermelon became the characteristics of Xujia Village.
Whenever rice fish and watermelon are ripe, countless buyers rush to the village to buy them.
The villagers in Xujia Village sold the things in the fields without even leaving the village.
Including rice - early rice, a symbiosis between rice and fish, is soft and fragrant, nourishes the stomach and is easy to digest; late rice is crystal clear, has a soft and waxy texture, and is many times better than ordinary local rice sold in the market.
Even if the purchase price is five cents or ten cents higher, there will still be people buying it.
Xujia Village became the first village in Pingyang County to become wealthy.
The government saw the potential of Xujia Village. After receiving the road construction task assigned by the superiors the following year, it gave Xujia Village priority in building a hardened cement road that runs through the entire village and leads directly to the county town.
After that, the output from the fields in Xujiacun became more marketable.
Xujia Village has become a famous Xianfu Village in Pingyang County. So far, it has been rated as a model village for two consecutive years.
If Xujia Village was the first to become wealthy in Pingyang County, then the old Xu family was the first to become wealthy in Xujia Village.
An exquisite two-story foreign-style building stands on the north side of the hardened cement road, with a blue brick courtyard wall, a red painted door, and two gold and silver osmanthus trees at the door.
This was built the year before last.
Originally, they could build a new house in the first year of raising rice flower fish, but they suddenly contracted twenty acres of sandy land. Xu's mother was worried that the seeds would be lost and the harvest would be lost, so she saved her money and was reluctant to build the house.
Unexpectedly, in the following summer, the watermelons on the 20 acres of sandy land were sold out, and the rice fish on the three acres of paddy fields also had a bumper harvest. The old Xu family stood out and became the first 10,000-yuan household in Xujia Village.
Who would be satisfied with renovating an old house when they have a lot of money in their pockets? They just demolished it and built a western-style building with red bricks and black tiles.
A projecting balcony is also designed on the second floor, with part of the center extended to form a large terrace - a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer.
The original main house and wing rooms were replaced by three large two-story buildings. The foundation was half a meter higher than the courtyard, and three steps were set up to prevent rainwater from pouring back during heavy rains.
The yard has been poured with cement. When the rice is ripe, you no longer have to rush to the drying field to grab a seat. You can dry it at your doorstep.
The ancient well was changed from the original throwing bucket type to the pressing type. A cement sink was installed not far from the well for convenient washing of vegetables.
Entering the building, the entire west room is designed as a granary. The windows are relatively small and are more than two and a half meters above the ground, ensuring dryness and ventilation in the warehouse.
The main room is a large living room that is transparent from north to south. It is made of solid wood, has a four-person couch with fabric cushions, two sets of single sofas, a large coffee table made of the same color wood, and a set of multi-functional food cabinets against the wall, displaying items from Xu Yin’s travels.
Decorations as well as tobacco, alcohol, candies, etc. for entertaining guests.
On the chest of drawers facing the sofa, there is the latest Panda TV set. Even though it is only 17 inches, it is already the largest on the market.
The number of people in Xujiacun who can afford this TV cannot be counted on the palm of their hand.
In other villages, there are still only a few owners of 14-inch TVs.
Behind the building is still the private land of the old Xu family, but the plan was redesigned when building a new house: a clean path paved with cobblestones leads from the building to the backyard, dividing the backyard into east and west halves, with a dazzling vegetable garden on the east side and chickens and ducks on the west side.
Shed and tool room.
The traditional latrines have been converted into biogas pools. When you come here, there is no longer an inexplicable smell that always fills the air.
Not far from the backyard is her family's rice field. Although it is only four acres, as she becomes more and more experienced in rice fish farming and all the rice seeds are replaced with hybrid rice, the yield per mu has almost doubled.
The breeding volume of rice flower fish has also expanded from the original three to four hundred fish per mu to about 800 fish today.
No matter how much, it's not impossible, but Xu Yin feels that an acre of land filled with fish may not be a good thing for the fish's ecological environment.
On the 20 acres of sandy land contracted by the old Xu family, the annual watermelon output per mu has increased from 8,000 jins in the first year to 15,000 jins now, making the old Xu family the first ten thousand-yuan household in the village.
How could no one be jealous of this unique and luxurious bungalow?
But who made everyone dislike this barren sandy land where no grass can grow? When Father Xu took the contract, he secretly laughed at him, wishing that he would contract for a few more years so that every household could share some money. Now, even if they make a fuss about redistributing the fields, this
Twenty acres of sandy land will not be classified as farmland. A contract written in black and white is no child's play.
"Jinhua, your girl Yin graduated this year, right? Where is her job assigned? She graduated from a key university, so she won't go back to Pingyang, right?"
Early in the morning, Xu's mother came to the rice field to see the rice fish as usual, and met Li Laogen's mother-in-law.
"My family, Yin Yin, has been recommended to graduate school, and she still needs to continue her studies. She has work early." Xu's mother puffed up her chest proudly.
"What? You still want to go to school? Isn't university the highest academic qualification?"
"Who said that? There are others above. In addition to graduate students and doctoral students, what else is there? I don't remember, but there must be some. Otherwise, what is the meaning of endless learning?"
Li Laogen's mother-in-law clicked her tongue after hearing this: "Good boy! Does your family, Yinyin, want to continue reading? How much will it cost?"
It is not easy to raise a college student, and the old Xu family still has to support their daughter to continue her education.
"Yinyin studied well, and the school waived her tuition fees. In turn, she received various bonuses and subsidies. During the four years of college, not only did she not spend any money from her family, but she also bought things for her family. She bought the TV set for her.
When I came back, I said I wanted to buy a washing machine for my home, but I scolded me."
While she was scolding, Xu's mother's expression didn't mean she was scolding at all. On the contrary, she was very proud.
Whose child is as talented as her Yinyin? Not only does it cost nothing to go to college, but she also makes money!
Xu Laogen’s mother-in-law: “…”
This is the first time I heard that not only does it cost nothing to study, but it also brings money back home.
But what can she say? Just praise her.
Having said that, the daughter of the old Xu family is indeed promising. Not only does she study well, but she also provides the family with a job to make money. She came up with the rice flower fish, and she also came up with the method of fertilizing the sandy land. Without her, Xujia Village would not be possible.
There is current development momentum.
"Aunt Jinhua——"
Across two acres of land, someone's young daughter-in-law was calling her.
"What's going on?"
Xu's mother raised her voice and asked.
"Your Yinyin is back!"
"What? Yinyin is back?" Xu's mother immediately ran home.
Li Laogen's mother-in-law also followed.
She originally wanted to test Geng Jinhua's story and see where Xu Yin was assigned. If she returned to Pingyang County, she wanted to find a matchmaker for her natal nephew.
Her maternal nephew graduated from technical secondary school and was assigned to the county's electrical machinery factory. Although he is currently only a small technician, it is a state-owned unit after all and has a bright future. No matter how smart and capable Xu Yin is, she is still a girl, and she will always find someone to look for when she gets older.
The object is getting married.
Although her natal nephew is only a technician now, he will become an engineer in a few years. Wouldn't he be a good match for Xu Yin? Unexpectedly, she was recommended to graduate school and would go on to study further.
Oh my God! If you continue reading, you will become an old aunt. Jinhua is actually not in a hurry...
If Xu's mother heard her slander, she would definitely reply: The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
Her daughter is a literary star who has come to earth, and she will achieve great things in the future! She is not in a hurry about her marriage. Who has seen gods get married and have children in a hurry?
