Only then did the couple notice their second daughter following behind them.
"Do you really want to go to work?"
Chen Huilan was so surprised that she almost touched Xu Yin's forehead to see if she had a fever.
There are still people who take the initiative to come to work these days? Are you stupid?
How easy it is to make matchboxes at home. It’s a pity that the number of matchboxes that my grandpa received from others was not many, otherwise she would have wanted to stay at home. When she was tired, she could lie down on the bed at any time. How comfortable!
"Is your matchbox burnt out?"
"Then light the matchbox and it will be ready in a while in the evening." Xu Yin said.
The original person didn't want to go to the ground, so he hid at home all day long using the excuse of pasting up matchboxes.
Just light a matchbox and a woman with quick hands and feet can do it in less than two hours.
However, even though this was a small amount of matchboxes, Grandpa Xu asked his old colleagues who were transferred to the match factory to help keep them. Otherwise, with so many housewives in the city trying to make extra money by pasting matchboxes, who would get the country people?
When Chen Huilan heard what her daughter said, she glanced at her in surprise: The sun came out from the west? This was not what this girl said before. She used to complain that she was tired every day, saying that so many matchboxes were so thick that her eyes hurt, her hands hurt, and her back hurt.
Xu Laosan also felt that this daughter was a bit abnormal: "Yinyin, are you interested in a youngster from the production team?"
Xu Yin's face was expressionless: "Nothing, I'm just here to earn some work points."
"real?"
"real!"
This family is so poor, what will they eat if they don’t earn work points?
The couple looked at each other: Why are you so disbelieving!
"We are almost out of food." Xu Yin reminded them.
"Oh, then I'll go to your grandma's house after work to scoop some." Xu Laosan is used to it.
Chen Huilan: "I'm going to take a leave tomorrow and go back to my parents' house to see if there are more, so we can share some."
Xu Yin: "..."
She was reminding them that they were about to run out of food, so work hard to earn work points! What were the two couples thinking? One wanted to go back to Lao Xu's house to earn money, and the other wanted to go back to her parents' house to beg for money?
I couldn't help but want to raise my head and say, "Mom, Dad, if you work harder, the work points you earn will definitely be enough for our family."
"..." The couple were extremely surprised, "Didn't you say that before?"
"...What did I say before?"
"What do you mean by earning work points? You have to work so hard to get such a small amount of food."
"..."
No! That's not what she said!
She is a hard-working woman who loves peace and likes farming (cross out)!
A family of three arrived at the task field of the production team where the Xu family was located. There were already many people sitting under the shade of the trees waiting for the production team leader to assign the afternoon's work.
Seeing Xu Yin, everyone was surprised: "Third brother, why are you willing to bring your second daughter out today?"
Xu Laosan didn't believe that his second daughter was really here to earn work points, but as a parent, who wouldn't like to mold their children to be sensible, filial, and diligent?
She said, "Yinyin saw that we two were feeling unwell, so she insisted on coming over to help."
Chen Huilan also smiled dryly and said: "This child is just worried. How can we use her help? But if she insists on coming, there is really nothing we can do about her."
"Yin Yin is such a filial child."
"Sure enough, my daughter is considerate. That brat of mine doesn't know where to get into all day long and doesn't leave home every day."
Everyone praises Xu Yin, but in their hearts they all know:
The two of them are competing against each other for being lazy. Why are they not feeling well? Bah! This excuse has been used from the age of 20 to 40, and they don’t know how to change it. As long as they go to work, they say that they don’t feel comfortable, and that they don’t feel comfortable.
No such problem.
As for the second daughter of the Xu family, she has never been seen on the ground before. Who knows whether she is really filial or fake.
But her eldest sister Xu Sang is a real hard-working person. There is no girl in the entire brigade who is more diligent than Xu Sang.
It's a pity that last year, he was spotted by a young man from the team next door. In order to save food rations, it took less than half a year from the time when the man proposed marriage to when the woman came to marry him, so he gave such a good girl away to get married.
Those who have a son at home can't help but feel it is a pity, but then they think of the laziness and virtue of Xu Laosan and his wife. Marrying Xu Sang may be equivalent to marrying Xu Laosan's family, and they can't help but feel grateful that their son did not fall in love with Xu Sang in the first place.
"Are they all here? Let's start work! Third brother, no one is allowed to leave early today! These two ridges of land belong to you, third daughter-in-law... Oh, this is the second daughter of the third son's family? Her name seems to be Yin Yin, right?
Are you here to earn work points today? Okay, okay! This is how it should be!" The production team leader saw Xu Yin and nodded with satisfaction, "Yinyin, just follow your mother and go to the soybean field to pull weeds!"
"Uncle, my dad is not in good health, let me switch with him." Xu Yin said, "I will dig the ground and let my dad pull the weeds."
"..."
There was silence.
Everyone glanced at Xu Yin first, and then turned to look at Xu Laosan.
Xu Laosan had just dozed off against a tree. A lazy man wants to sleep wherever he goes.
Suddenly feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, he opened his sleepy eyes and said, "What's wrong? The distribution is over? Where should I go?"
"You and your wife are pulling weeds." An old man teased him, "Your filial daughter helped you with the job of plowing the land."
"..."
Why is Xu Laosan so disbelieving?
It wasn't until he saw his second girl, swinging a hoe and going straight to work, that he suddenly opened his eyes and even the sleepyheads ran away.
"Oh my god! Is this really our second daughter? Wife, please pinch me. Am I awake?"
His wife was even more shocked than he was, and she was so stunned that she couldn't even speak.
It took a long time to say: "Yin, Yin Yin, you are so strong, don't let your waist slip. If you suffer from back pain, it will affect your future childbirth."
Xu Yin went down with the hoe and almost hit the instep of her own foot.
She glanced at the couple faintly: "Father, mother, you go about your business! Remember! You are not allowed to leave before the end of work. I will cook today when you have received full work points."
The couple looked at each other: Do you want to listen or not?
If you listen, you have to work diligently for half a day. If you don't listen, you have to cook your own dinner when you go home.
These two options are only half as good as each other, so tiring!
I don't want to choose either, I just want to lie in bed and sleep.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
"What about you? Earn work points or cook?"
"How about earning work points? At least I still have food rations."
"Okay, then let's work for a full day. As promised, you are not allowed to leave in the middle."
"You're just talking about me? What about yourself? Is it true that a woman can run away faster than a man..."
"..."
When Xu Yin heard the conversation between the couple, she felt a black line.
Just this little bit of work, still need to be discussed for a long time? Give them both a scale, do you want to weigh which one sweats less before deciding which one to choose?
She looked at the sky, feeling a little desperate inside. What was going on?
I originally thought that this start, although not a good one, was not as bad as the last small world - disfigured at the beginning, but now that I think about it - this seems to be too early...
