Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
As the sun set, it was time for work to end in the workshop. Groups of workers chatted and laughed and walked out of the workshop leisurely, embarking on their way home.
The workers in this village are close to each other and only have a few steps to go home, so they always subconsciously lag behind and let other workers go first. After everyone has finished, they will check again whether the stove fire has gone out and whether there are any things.
After putting it away, he helped Old Zhou check and close all the doors and windows. Then they all left the workshop and watched Old Zhou lock the outermost door.
They have long been accustomed to the big wolf tied at the door. The big wolf will not hurt people casually, so they are not afraid.
Mao Dan Niang was the last one, and instead of going home first, she headed towards the Xu family in front of the village.
When she arrived at the door of Xu's house, she happened to meet Xixin who was returning with a basket of wild pears. Maodanniang rubbed her hands and said to her: "Miss Xixin, can you pass a message to me? I want to meet Mr. Jiacheng Township."
The child was so innocent that he always used to call Sister Si Ya, Sister Yin Yin, but most people in the village would subconsciously call Xu Yinyin Jun Jiacheng when they met her.
Xixin nodded, strode into the yard, and returned to the backyard of the third room, "Girl! Look at the wild pears picked by the slave. They have thin skins, are juicy, and are sweet! The slave has washed the hanging well. Girl, will you eat them tomorrow?"
Xu Yinyin smiled and said: "Okay."
Xixin picked up the basket and was about to turn around. Then she thought of something and said hurriedly: "By the way, girl, Mao Danniang is waiting outside the gate, saying she wants to see the girl."
Xu Yinyin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard Maodan Niang looking for her.
The Chen family had a big incident at the beginning of the year, but it was eventually resolved. However, Mao Dan Niang, who had a relationship with Chen Xiaotian, did not do anything to her. Mao Dan Niang did not say anything about the workshop that should not be said, personal matters.
The workshop has no business dealing with private life issues. Besides, there is nothing wrong with Mao Dan Niang's work.
When Maodan Niang came to her, all Xu Yinyin could think of was that the workshop had just informed the factory school yesterday.
Mao Danniang and her son Mao Dan depend on each other for life. As a mother, she is naturally dedicated to her children. Speaking of which, Mao Dan Niang is really a good mother. She saved food and expenses last year and didn’t even take a single day off. She didn’t even take the usual salary.
During the festival, I cut meat and sold it for money. With a year's salary, plus one tael of silver from the year-end bonus, I collected seven taels of silver. At the beginning of this year, I sent Maodan to study in the county town.
Mao Dan went to and from school every day, and even asked the Xu family's motorcade to help him give him a ride.
She has only been studying for half a year now. As soon as the news came out that there was a school here at the factory, Mao Danniang must have come to see her because of this.
Xu Yinyin immediately asked Xixin to invite Maodanniang into the main hall outside to talk.
Sure enough, this is what Maodanniang came for.
"Mr. Jiacheng Township, I'm really sorry to trouble you for this matter, but I have no choice. Only you, Mr. Xiang, can help me with this matter. Please consider that we are from the same village."
For my sake, could you help me?"
But it turns out that as soon as Maodan Niang learned yesterday that the workers of the school run by the Xu family were sending their children to study without being restrained, she couldn't sit still. Although school only started in August, there were still several months before the Chinese New Year.
So this morning she asked Old Man Zhou to take a whole morning off, and went to the city specifically to find the teacher at the school, and wanted to withdraw Mao Dan from the school and withdraw from the school for a few months.
Not only in Yiyang Prefecture, but also in almost all schools, Shu Xiu is required to be handed in from one year to the previous year. No school will withdraw from Shu Xiu midway, unless it is because the teacher no longer teaches, then there are other Possibility of retreat.
Otherwise, when we were in Dawang Village, the year was bad and the Xu family had no food to eat. They wanted to quit Shuxiu in the middle, but they just couldn't quit. At that time, Xu Liulang was so hungry that his feet were shaking. Everyone has to go to school, and they have to finish the remaining two months. If they don’t go, it will be in vain. They paid the money.
Therefore, Maodan's husband will definitely not withdraw. No, Maodan's wife wants to ask Xu Yinyin to help find that husband to withdraw. Xu Yinyin is the village monarch, and if she comes forward, the husband has to withdraw.
When Xu Yinyin heard this, she was silent for a long time, and then said: "As long as the quota in the factory school is not used, it will always be there. The same applies to registration next year."
Even though she was the country king, there was no reason why she had to ask her husband to retire and cultivate because of her title. She couldn't do this.
Maodanniang rubbed her hands, then rubbed her hands again, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay."
In fact, she wanted to withdraw, but she didn't want to read Shu Xiu's book. If she could withdraw with these few words, she could at least get two taels of silver back. Two taels of silver was a lot.
But Jiacheng Xiangjun didn't accept her words, so she couldn't say any more. If Xiangjun got angry if she said too much, he would be in big trouble if he fired her.
She just begged, it would be better if it worked, but if it didn't work, it would be fine.
Just pretend that these seven taels of silver have not been earned this year. If you want to be more liberal, everything will be fine. Next year, the year after, and the next year, Mao Dan will not have to hand over the money to study. She will save the money. For Mao Dan to take the imperial examination!
Maodan Niang's eyes were looking far away in one direction, and there seemed to be a little water in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
At the right time, Mao Dan returned home from the Xu family's mule team and saw her from a distance. He ran over sweating profusely and shouted: "Mom!"
Maodan Niang came back to her senses, looked at her son, grinned, and pulled him home, "Is it hot? Come on, go home with mom, and mom will steam egg custard for you!"
"It's not hot! Mom, I want to play with Goudan first!"
"Don't just think about it. What did Mr. teach you today? Do you know everything?"
Mao Dan stumbled and answered with a slumped face: "Mom, I really don't like studying. Sitting in the school is not fun at all! Can I stop studying?"
"My mother is saving money for you to study, how can you not study? You have to study! Mao Dan, only by studying can you be successful!"
Maodan drooped his head and was pulled home by Maodan's mother. The setting sun made the shadows of mother and son grow longer.
It was getting dark, and dinner was served at the old Xu family. In the main hall of the main room, Xu Yinyin, Xu Chunhe, Zhao Wenshan's family of three, Zhou Shi, Wu Ya, Luo Shi, plus Asarum and Linglong, sat full A full table.
The weather was hot, so I had porridge and steamed buns for dinner. The porridge had been boiled early and left with only a little residual heat. It tasted just right. The steamed buns were soft, and paired with vinegared courgette strips and grilled eggplant, it tasted very comfortable.
There is no shortage of meat to eat now, but I don’t like to eat meat all the time, especially on such a hot day, eating meat is not as flavorful as eating courgettes with root sauce.
Only Luo Shi, who was twin, needed nutrition, but she couldn't eat meat either, so she ate an extra bowl of custard.
After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and relax. The night wind blew away the heat waves during the day, and it was obvious that they felt cool and comfortable.
It was late at night, and everyone went back to their respective houses to sleep. Xiaohei lay under the window of Xu Yinyin's room, which was particularly comforting. After a tiring day, Xu Yinyin's mind was full of thoughts about some things during the day, and soon she
Fell into a deep sleep.
The chirping of cicadas, accompanied by the chirping of frogs and the chirping of insects, is the only music in the summer night.
The epiphyllum on the window sill quietly turned up, and the purple coat was peeled away layer by layer.
Tongzi's urgent voice kept waking Xu Yinyin up from her sleep. She slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, her head was about to explode.
Xu Yinyin subconsciously wanted to scold the dog Tongzi, but when she heard what it said clearly, she suddenly became excited.
I turned over and got up from the bed. No one was there, so I took out the flashlight from the space and shined it on the window sill. Sure enough, I saw that the epiphyllum was in full bloom, and it was incredibly beautiful.
"Wow!"
It took Hu Pingye a lot of effort to find this pot of epiphyllum for a month. She looked forward to it every night, but she didn't expect it to bloom tonight when she returned to the village.
The epiphyllum was so beautiful that it was rare to encounter it like this. Xu Yinyin stopped falling asleep and sat in front of the window, admiring its beauty carefully with the light of the flashlight.
Until Tongzi broadcast again, she thought that if she didn't collect it, the epiphyllum would wither and wait for the next time, and she didn't know when it would be. Then she sighed with regret and put her hand over it. In the blink of an eye, the beautiful epiphyllum disappeared.
