773 Chapter 773 Five Zero Miserable Sister-in-Law 6
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. As long as there are any good things, he will naturally hold on to them first.
he.
Next is Xu Cui. Firstly, she is the eldest daughter. Secondly, she is more eloquent. She can make her parents happy and get something from them.
Only Yuan Shen, the little daughter, is honest and kind. She knows 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.
Therefore, the body has been weak since childhood. Fortunately, when he was fourteen years old, Grandpa Xu dug a small ginseng in the mountain. He felt sorry for her being so thin and fed her a bowl of ginseng soup behind the back of others.
In that year, her height suddenly increased by more than ten centimeters. Otherwise, she would be 1.5 meters tall now.
Unfortunately, my grandfather, who was the best to me, passed away from a heart attack due to a sudden cold wave the winter before last.
Maybe 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. In that life, her father was still on her side, and she was a polished commander in this life. Whether Comrade Xiaojin will show up has not yet happened.
Learned.
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 you live in deserted woodsheds and shacks?"
?”
Fortunately, the captain was more witty. Facing the enthusiastic villagers, he smiled and said, "Thank you all for your kindness! But we are here to work, not as guests. How can we sleep on the host's kang? Not to mention building a house.
It’s not that we can build it today and move it in tomorrow. It will take a lot of time. During this period, we can’t trouble you every day. You should 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.”
So, the villagers applauded enthusiastically, shouted "welcome, welcome", "warm welcome", and rushed to invite:
"Before the house is built, feel free to come and live with us!"
What's more, the reclamation team members are not staying for free, they will be given some subsidies from above. Even if it's just a token of appreciation and not too much, it's not bad. It's just a place to stay, and the food and accommodation will be taken care of by the reclamation team members themselves, so they don't have to worry about it.
Aunt Fang introduced them to the situation at home along the way:
I heard that the national reclamation team came to open up wasteland nearby, and the villagers welcomed it.
The young people in the village all called this woman "Aunt Fang", and Xu Yin and the other three also called her the same.
Xu Yin can do it.
Xu Yin gave the captain a thumbs up in her heart: This is a beautiful statement!
Xiao Jing and other young women whose fingers were stiff and their feet were numb from the cold said: "..."
The only good thing is that the reclamation point is far enough away from Yuanshan County. The Xu family can't bear to travel so far if they want to find her. Besides, no one here knows her, so just be herself.
"Yes!" Huang Xiaohong nodded vigorously.
However, when we arrived, we discovered that Fang's family only had three rooms in total: she and her wife shared one room, her eldest son's family shared one room, and her two daughters shared half of the room.
The thoughts of running away were pulled back by Xiao Jing.
I don’t believe this myself!
"It's okay, it's okay. Our remote mountain reclamation team is all young people. They are young and energetic, and are not afraid of the cold!"
"...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, and you are all young people.
Well, we can 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, my wife will give it to you tomorrow.
Clean up the kang."
Aunt Fang neatly took away the sundries on the kang, and while cleaning, she said: "I say, you can live with my daughter, and there is no problem for four or five people to fit into the kang in their house. This house has not had a kang for a long time, and it is damp.
Very heavy."
"Our big Kang can sleep a dozen people."
The young boys and girls from the reclamation team were all dumbfounded when they heard this: What? Sharing a bed with the villagers? No way, right?
Xu Yin and the other three followed a woman in her fifties or sixties who had a cheerful personality and went to her house.
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 hasn't been back to her parents' home in the past few years since her husband joined the army. So after the kang collapsed, she didn't even bother to repair it during the cold weather.
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, he and the villagers couldn't speak the same language, so they could discuss anything with each other.
Come on.
The three of them, Xu Yin, faced the narrow room, with a corner of the fire pit collapsed. You looked at me, and I looked at you.
Xu Yin and the three of them looked at each other and said they lived in an empty house.
While distracted, they had arrived at the center of Hewozi Village, where the houses were relatively concentrated.
This kang was not very big to begin with. One-third of it collapsed, and the remaining two-thirds could barely fit two people on it. It was a bit crowded for three people anyway.
Others also formed teams in twos and threes, and were taken back to the villagers who had vacant houses for resettlement.
Xiao Jing happily said to Xu Yin and Huang Xiaohong: "We just agreed to live together!"
"It's the same in our house. It's so crowded that we can get more sleep."
"Xu Yin? Xu Yin? What are you thinking about? We're here!"
When the reclamation team completes its mission and has to return to her 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?
Squeeze in, make some room, and earn some income for your family. Who wouldn’t be happy?
This arrangement suits the wishes of the young women very much. They are new here and like to be together in everything they do.
The liaison officer responsible for the reception has already explained his intention to the villagers here.
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 there for many years, clutter had been piled up. The musty smell in the room was very pungent. It was okay if it was not cleaned. Once it was cleaned, the dust would fly.
It made her sneeze four or five times in a row.
Huang Xiaohong was not much better. Her parents were both working in a large factory, and their family conditions were much better than those of other team members. When she first saw such a living environment, she felt discouraged. She moved her luggage outside and said hesitantly: "
How about we listen to the aunt and 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 more spacious and brighter 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.
Oh! It also saves them the trouble of cleaning and tidying up.
