When Mrs. Xu went back, she had a quarrel with her husband.
Then everyone in the Xu family also knew that Xu Shiyan was very good at making money and could earn a lot of money by catching fish and buying them.
Xu Chenghou regretted a little, but what he said out loud would throw water away. A manly man would never take a shit and then sit back down.
"He who is capable is like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
I don’t believe it. How much money can he make from selling fish? You can’t sell that thing every day, otherwise he will starve to death without earning work points.”
Xu Chenghou refused to admit that he was wrong and remained stubborn.
"Yes, you can go ahead and give it a try. The third child is a good boy and you scold him all the time. This time, he will be separated from you.
In the future, when your child becomes successful, do you think he will care about you?"
Zhou Guilan was very angry with her husband, but she couldn't imitate other people's curses, so she had to gouge her husband twice with her eyes and turn her head to ignore him.
"Do I need him to take care of it? It's a joke. I can still move. Even if I can't move, there will still be these four.
With his virtue, if I were to rely on him, I might as well hang myself on a tree."
Xu Chenghou sneered at this, with a look of disdain on his face, knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang, put on his shoes, got off the ground, and left with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Guilan looked at her husband's back, shook her head and sighed.
The two sisters-in-law, Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong, were flirting with each other, having their own thoughts, envy, jealousy, and various emotions. They wished they could separate their families immediately.
Xu Shiyan didn't know about this, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.
After working for a long time, I was tired and hungry, so I ate three bowls of big lump porridge in one go, and then I felt comfortable.
After dinner, the couple put together the things they bought today.
Su Anying was moved to tears when she saw the things her husband bought specially for her. Xu Shiyan was so frightened that he thought he had done something wrong and coaxed him clumsily for a while.
"By the way, this is the remaining money. There are still more than thirty yuan, so you should keep it."
Seeing that his wife stopped crying, Xu Shiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over the remaining money to his wife for safekeeping.
"No, no, I don't want it, you should keep it." Su Anying was so frightened that she waved her hands.
Before getting married, although Su Anying worked in the fields to earn work points, her stepmother was in charge of the family's money.
When she married into the Xu family, she originally thought that her mother-in-law would take care of the house. Su Anying never thought that she would have to manage money by herself.
A few dozen yuan was already a huge sum of money in her eyes, and she didn't dare to ask for it.
"We are husband and wife, we are one person, so of course you have to take care of the money." Xu Shiyan smiled, but also felt a little distressed.
"This is just the beginning. From now on, I will send fish to the Songjiang River every week, and I will make some profit."
"If there is work in the team, I will earn work points. If there is no work, I will go into the mountains to collect herbs and do a side job. In a few days, when Honglangtou City comes, I will go into the mountains to dig sticks. I can still hunt in the winter."
Now when I look back and think about it carefully, I realize that he had a bad life in his last life. It was not because he was lazy, but because he was unlucky.
There was an accident at the Da'an Coal Mine in 1979, and it took more than half a year to recuperate. Since he was both a worker and a farmer, he was not a formal worker, and it was impossible to support Xu Shiyan in the mine.
After being given some symbolic compensation, Xu Shiyan had no choice but to go home and work on the farm.
In this small and remote place along the Dongjiang River, the entire village has only about 700 acres of cultivated land, and even less ginseng land. The only available land is yellow smoke.
At that time, there were no tobacco companies placing orders, so they were all retailing in the market during the winter. There was no way to form an industry, and naturally they didn’t make any money.
In 1987, I moved to Donggang and missed the ginseng field assigned to me by the team. I could only go to the mountains to dig soil for people, look at ginseng, and do a side job. Finally, it gradually developed.
As a result, the price of ginseng plummeted in 1991 and 1992, and the days when I had just regained some vitality fell to the bottom again.
At any rate, the price of ginseng increased in 1995, which gave me some relief.
Unexpectedly, in the autumn of 1998, the couple went to work in the mountains and got into a car accident. Su Anying died of severe injuries on the spot, and Xu Shiyan was seriously injured and was hospitalized for a long time.
This time it was definitely a fatal blow. The Xu family's entire property, as well as the ginseng and ginseng fields in the fields, were all gone. There was still a lot of famine outside.
The two daughters, one a senior in high school and the other a freshman in high school, both dropped out of school and worked to earn money to support the family.
It's a pity that his two daughters are both very good at studies. If nothing happened at home, both children could go to college. How great would it be?
"Daughter-in-law, I dare not say that I can make you rich and powerful, but I will definitely treat you well in this life and will never let you suffer."
Thinking of the hardships the couple had endured in their previous lives, Xu Shiyan felt sad, stretched out his arms to hug his wife, and made a solemn promise.
Su Anying snuggled into her husband's arms and showed a satisfied smile. "As long as you treat me well, I'm not afraid of hardship.
I am very capable. I work in the fields to earn work points, which is no worse than that of men. Together, we will gradually get better."
Xu Shiyan chuckled lightly and raised his hand to help his wife tidy up the hair on her temples, "The most important thing is to take good care of your body. Leave the money-making to me."
The two of them have lived together all their lives, how can Xu Shiyan still not understand the person next to him? His wife cannot be called capable, she is too capable.
When he was working in the coal mine, Su Anying stayed in the Xu family, and the two sisters-in-law were playing tricks on Su Anying.
Even so, Su Anying did not delay working in the fields to earn work points.
The year their eldest daughter was born, Xu Shiyan was recovering from an accident in the mines. Su Anying was pregnant with the child and was about to give birth. She was stunned to carry thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes home with her big belly.
Later, she moved to Donggang, and Su Anying followed her up the mountain to dig soil and plant ginseng. No matter how hard it was, she never complained.
If she hadn't followed him to work in the mountains, how could his wife have died in a car accident?
In his previous life, he was incompetent and caused his wife to suffer a lot and suffered a lot of grievances.
In this life, Xu Shiyan hopes that his wife will be well, safe and healthy, and can grow old with him.
The two of them can see their daughter go to college, find a good job, marry a good man, and be happy.
"Well, I'll leave you to make money in the future and leave everything at home to me. I don't believe it. How can we live together as a couple if we work together?"
Su Anying naturally trusts her husband wholeheartedly.
The newly married couple cuddled together and chatted as if they had endless things to say. The two of them were thinking about the future, as if a beautiful life was right in front of them.
Old Mrs. Li in the east room heard it and couldn't say anything. She just shook her head and laughed.
You young man, you are too naive, life is so easy. If you can have enough food to eat and not go hungry or cold, then that is a good life. What else are you thinking about?
"San'er, we don't have much firewood at home. Please help aunt chop some firewood. It's time to make dinner again later."
The old lady really didn't want to disturb the young couple in the west room, but when she went out, she found that there was not enough firewood.
When Xu Shiyan from the west room heard this, he immediately let go of his wife and came out of the house.
"Auntie, let me do it. When I come back tomorrow, I will go to the mountain to pick up more firewood. Don't worry, I won't let you freeze in the winter."
