Chapter 63: Chapter Sixty-Three: This Kind of Thing
Chapter 63 Chapter 63: Taking advantage of others
Xu Yinyin washed herself fragrantly, sat on the bamboo bed that night, and took out the peacock blue box from the space.
The box has a hard-shell matte texture with exquisite patterns. When you remove the lid, you will find a complete set of skin care products in the same color series as the box, including exfoliating cleanser, moisturizing water, eye cream, essence, lotion, and facial cream.
"This packaging is quite beautiful!" Zhang Xiulan poked her head from the other side of the curtain and exclaimed.
Xu Yinyin nodded, "Use it with me?"
Zhang Xiulan retracted her head and said, "Have you forgotten? I haven't used the set of skin care products you gave me before. It's been rough for most of my life. Why do I use it? I can't even remember the bottles.
Order, don't bother, I can't bear to use it."
Xu Chunshan spoke from the side, "Your mother is beautiful even if she doesn't use that!"
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
Xu Yinyin smiled and started to do skin care.
The three of them were staying in the room on the left side of Uncle Zhang's house. Naturally, there were no candles to use at night. They had to provide food first and did not dare to waste lamp oil casually.
She muttered: "Who wants to grate?" But she didn't refuse in the end. She glanced over from time to time, waiting for her granddaughter to finish grating.
Of the twenty families in these sixteen refugee villages, only one family was alone and no one knew them.
Mrs. Liu became more excited, "What do you say?"
With her sharp ears, Xu Yinyin heard Mrs. Xu muttering. She looked over from the hair curtain and grinned at Mrs. Xu: "Mistress, I'll grate it for you later!"
You think this is so unlucky. It was such a cold day. She fell into the river. She was shaking from the cold. She finally got up. On the way back, she stepped on dog poop. Obviously there was no dog poop in this area on the way out.
ah.
Ms. Liu felt that she was really unlucky today and wanted to take advantage of it and grab the basket of wild vegetables that the woman had dug. After all, in her opinion, the other party was just an adult and a little girl. They were also two people and they were on the hillside.
It's a long way from the village, so the village can't hear any commotion, and there's no one else around, so the wild vegetables are easy to grab.
Mrs. Liu came back to her senses and said sadly: "What kind of doctor are you asking for? Where did our family get the money?"
"I heard that the fifteen villages next door all took their names and elected their village chiefs! Our village doesn't have one yet, so what if this village doesn't have a village chief?" Mo Dazhuang said.
Mrs. Liu's eyes were weak, and she couldn't help but think of what the woman had scolded her before, and her whole body trembled.
Mo Dazhuang's eyes rolled, "I think those families over there should be rich, especially the family named Xu who came to the village. They brought back so many things yesterday, which is a lot of money! There are also several other families.
After we divided things, didn’t we still smell the aroma of meat and rice last night? The relationship between these families is really close!”
She covered her mouth and endured the pain. She had to stay and continue looking for wild vegetables. Otherwise, the whole family would be hungry again today.
That night, the thirteen families in the 16th refugee village reached a consensus to choose the village chief! The old man of the Xu family was chosen to be the village chief!
…
That look frightened Mrs. Xu.
If you do your skin care in front of the mirror, that's fine.
I won’t talk about the seven Xu families, but for the other twelve families, at least two families are together, and at most there are four families.
When I got home, I quickly changed into wet clothes and lit a fire to warm myself up, but I still caught a cold. The good thing was that I didn’t have a fever, but the bad thing was that I had diarrhea. I had to go back and forth, which made her lose all strength.
I couldn't poop, and ended up lying on the bed unable to get up, and my face turned pale.
This is really a heavy topic.
Of course, you can't see it in the dark, so Xu Yinyin gritted her teeth and bought another mirror, the one with its own light.
But after fighting for a long time, she couldn't get it, so she scolded her. According to her temper, she just scolded her back. Who has she ever been afraid of?
The Mo family happened to be one of these four families. The other three families came from the same village as him. They all walked together and had someone to look after them. They queued up to register together, so they happened to be in the same village.
Mo Dazhuang grinned, "That's what I mean! You rest first, I'll go find Dacheng and the others to discuss it!"
Of course, two years earlier, she would have been able to work in the fields, but now she can't. It would be good if she could still be alive after escaping from a famine. She doesn't have the energy to do heavy work.
After protecting her skin, Xu Yinyin put all her things back into space, lay down on the bamboo bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, went over the hundred words she had learned during the day in her mind, and slowly fell asleep.
These two hens are now the big treasures of the family. There is no third hen in the whole village. If they run away and someone catches them and secretly kills them and stews them, they won't be able to cry.
Mrs. Xu moved a small chicken and sat in the yard, watching the two hens that had just been released from the henhouse and pecking around in the yard, watching them leave the yard.
…
But the wild vegetables were not found, and she fell into the river.
She couldn't help but mutter, "When will these grates be clean? Just wash them twice more and it will be fine. The water is enough now, so I have to ask her father to buy a grate for five cents! It takes half a day to carry it."
It’s all covered.”
Ms. Liu was just thinking about the woman today. She was from that family! She seemed to be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. It was really bad luck to compete with her for wild vegetables when there was meat to eat!
"So what if we have money? That's not ours! We're not familiar with them, how can we still benefit from it?" Thinking about the basket of wild vegetables, she became furious!
Mo Dazhuang's eyes rolled rapidly, his face was full of little Jiujiu, "It's not like he can't take advantage of it."
Her man, Mo Dazhuang, saw her mumbling and couldn't help but said: "What are you mumbling about? Is it better? If not, you still have to ask a doctor?"
While she was looking at the chickens, she watched her granddaughter Siya move a small stool out and sit in the yard, spreading lice in her hair.
At this moment, Mo Dazhuang took the lead and told the other three families about this idea. Immediately, the four families agreed and got together. Then they went to find the heads of the other nine families one by one to vent their feelings.
Early in the morning, people who went to work in the city set out.
But he tripped and fell to the ground, knocking out his teeth and not grabbing the wild vegetables.
"My mother, does that mother-in-law have some magical powers?"
So she had to keep a close eye on it.
We didn't wait until we arrived, but we waited for a group of people from outside the courtyard to come in.
Mrs. Liu was also smart and grabbed the man's sleeve, "Oh, what a great idea you have! The village chief has to take care of the people in the village! Otherwise, what kind of village chief would he be? Let's elect the old man from the Xu family to be the village chief! Wait.
If he becomes the village chief, we will also benefit from it!"
She has nothing else to do. She has a daughter-in-law sowing vegetables, a son to clear the wasteland, a grandson to collect water and firewood, and a granddaughter to look for wild vegetables. She is the most leisurely person in the family.
You may not see any effect on the first day of skin care. This kind of thing needs to be persevered.
"Is Brother Xu at home?"
Old man Xu was at home, and it was still early. Those who were not busy going to the fields would only be allocated three acres of land, and it would not take much time to finish it.
He was treasured a brand new cigarette rod in the house. This was given to him by his little sister, along with a large bundle of tobacco leaves. The cigarettes that had been out for a year were finally renewed. For a while, he was still a little reluctant to part with them.
It's time to smoke.
Leng Buding heard someone shouting. Old man Xu looked up and saw a lot of people coming outside. They seemed to belong to people from the same village. He couldn't help but wonder, what are so many people doing at his house looking for him?
