It was the first time for the sisters-in-law to ride a tractor, and they looked around curiously. They were very surprised.
Lin Jinxing is also very curious. Although she has ridden on tractors many times in her previous life, this is the first time she has seen a tractor in 1966.
In her previous life, Lin Jinxing suffered from severe car sickness, so before going to college she was very afraid of riding in cars. She even dreamed of riding a tractor or a tricycle to go to college.
That's outrageous.
Lin Jinqing drove the tractor very quickly and arrived at the home of the Red Flag Brigade in more than half an hour.
Others came here for the first time and looked around curiously.
Lin Jinyu walked around and came back and asked: "There is a pig pen in the backyard. Do you want to raise pigs? It seems that they are not allowed to raise pigs."
Lin Jinqing explained: "I asked the team leader before that I can raise them, but I have to hand over mission pigs to the village. If I pay enough, I can raise them."
"How much do you pay?"
"There seems to be a weight requirement. Some people raise two pigs. You can eat one and hand it in. If it's not heavy enough, you have to pay. If it's overweight, you'll be paid. I didn't ask for details."
"I see there is a chicken coop, are you planning to raise chickens?"
"Yes, we raise them based on population, one for each family."
Lin Zhengqing heard their discussion and added: "If you live in a town, you have to come back to work during spring plowing and autumn harvest, so you can be considered a member of the brigade and can raise one chicken per person.
This kind of rations can also be divided into rations every year. If you don't work in the fields to earn work points, you will get a small ration."
Hu Zhiyin said to Lin Jinyu: "If you live here, if your grandparents raise pigs and chickens, remember to help feed them."
"Okay, do we want to come back to help when the farming season is busy?"
"No, our household registration is in the town, and only your grandparents' household registration is in the Red Flag Brigade. But you can come and experience it, and the work points will be calculated on your grandparents."
"OK."
After chatting for a while, a few people started to clean up the room.
Because there are so many people today, we plan to clean out the rest of the free rooms.
Everyone worked together and quickly moved everything off the tractor.
The brothers first moved their grandparents' things to their small living room, and asked them to pack up their personal belongings. They also moved some food to the kitchen and put the rest in the warehouse.
Several sisters-in-law went to clean the spare room. The window sill and the edge of the bed were all polished. They just waited for the bedding to be put in before they could move in.
Hu Zhiyin and Lin Jinxing helped spread the kang. The kang mats were laid out before, and they were briefly wiped today. Then the felt, kang quilt, and kang sheets were all laid out, and the mattresses and quilts were folded up.
Lin Jinyu's room was also paved with a kang, while the two rooms of Lin Jinxing and Lin's father and mother had only kang mats and felts, and the kang quilts and beddings were placed in the kang cabinets.
There is strength in numbers, and everything was sorted out by three o'clock.
Since they didn't have lunch, Hu Zhiyin and Lin Jinxing went to the kitchen to cook. They didn't cook anything complicated today, just stew and rice.
Lin Zhengqing went to the brigade to borrow farm tools. They planned to dig up the land in the backyard in the afternoon. When he came back from borrowing the farm tools, the meal would be ready.
Lin Jinxing tasted the stew and it was the taste of his dreams.
Lin Jinxing likes stews very much, especially the Chinese cabbage and tofu in them, which are so delicious.
When she was drifting to the north, because she wanted to eat stew, she made it herself, including cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, and potatoes.
And the strangest thing is that Lin Jinxing cooks the same ingredients on a gas stove. What she cooks in the village is more delicious than what she cooks in Kyoto.
