If Yingzi didn't step forward, Lin Yutong wouldn't even step forward.
Jin Laoer had already peed away when people came in. The fourth master turned around and pretended to be busy to entertain the guests.
This attitude has already been made clear.
Old man Jin was a little embarrassed for the in-laws who showed up.
We were thinking about how to talk to each other? We don’t know each other, but they just offered incense to my mother and kowtowed to me. Most of the time when this happens, they just have a hard time with their faces. If you can’t do it, it’s really rude.
People's affairs.
Are you in trouble? Jin Mancheng got up and hurried over, saying with great enthusiasm: "Uncle is here! Hurry, sit in the room, where is the second brother? Why are you running around?" As he said that, he helped Lin Jiacheng towards him.
He went to the house and shouted towards the backyard: "Fourth brother - fourth brother - hurry up, my uncle from the Lin family is here..."
Lin Yutong: "..." What does your uncle of the Lin family have to do with you!? Can you just wink?
Lin Jiacheng followed Jin Mancheng and left. Li Xianer stood up and followed closely. He turned around and nodded at Yingzi and Lin Yutong with his fingers, looking like they were both "ignorant".
Outside, you can still hear Li Xian'er's voice entertaining Lin Jiacheng: "...Uncle came here on leave. It's not easy to get back from the county seat early in the morning..."
In fact, the old sister asked her second nephew to rush to the county town last night and asked him to go back and talk about the matter. The women in the family were so troubled that they refused to admit it, but the old sister insisted that she must admit it. She said that if she
No, she does.
What are you talking about?
Now that person is still on hunger strike at home, but he still came.
They are all people who are mixed up in the scene. Don't look at it in the county. Many people talk about themselves. Others will not be considerate of your difficulties. You don't want to admit it. If you admit it, your wife will make a troublesome life at home.
I just say you are cruel! Back then, a widower who lost his wife could not raise a daughter who had just returned home and two newborn children. But now that the children are older, your life has become easier. Why don't you recognize her?
? Just admit it? How much trouble can I trouble you? In other words, when you build a house and have a baby, you may have to subsidize it. But now your salary is not comparable to before. What can you do to subsidize the child? Besides, you
Isn’t the second daughter quite capable? If I ask around now, who hasn’t heard of her name?
Then Mingguang can be regarded as a veteran commune director. After WG, he was not affected but had a tendency to go further. It is said that he protected several very influential old leaders in the past. It is inevitable for such a person to move up. This person
Nowadays, when you come to any county town, you have to bring your son-in-law with you. What does this mean? It means that your second son-in-law has caught the attention of others.
Don’t bully young people into being poor!
How can I treat you badly if I admit it?!
He didn't know how many times he had heard the gossip in front of his face and the gossip behind his back.
But ask him to say, why should I admit it? Now that things are going well, I am even more reluctant to admit it. Didn’t Yingzi’s mother-in-law not tell him when he got married?
But he knew this. The two villages were separated from Ersan Road. People from his own village had to pass through the other village to go to town. They were all people who had lived in this area for generations, and they must have been in-laws and old friends.
.People talk nonsense when they are free, and it has already spread to the village.
The eldest nephew sent two hundred yuan to the old sister, and the old sister sent 100 yuan that night, "You go and give the child 100 yuan to add makeup. I heard that the Jin family is not rich, and they will wait for the division of the family."
Then I can make a living with this little money." I didn't know it was such a coincidence at that time, but another person also mentioned the Jin family and said that he was going to meet Yingzi.
Good guy, this is really serious. Deng Chunhua drank the pesticide that night and never let go of the bottle.
Can you still watch her really die?
That’s it!
Sister Qian didn't take it back, so she just asked her to send it to her secretly when she came out. Don't let the family know about it. She refused to admit it openly, and secretly asked her to help her when the child was in trouble. She said, "You owe it to that person."
children's."
Acknowledge this to yourself!
Who is still young and confused? I really didn't withhold Yingzi's rations and asked Deng Chunhua to deliver them there. He was not often at home. But he left by himself, and the old sister also watched her go out with the food.
, and ended up secretly sending them all to her parents' house. This was something she didn't know until many years later. When she came back, Deng Chunhua told her that Mrs. Cai over there was the most useless person. She took advantage of her absence to mess around and come to her door all day long.
She and her children were so forced to ask for food that they couldn't be happy. How could she not be angry? After all, they had been sending messages back and forth like this for several years, and they had completely become enemies. By the time the old sister said something was wrong, there was no way to deal with it.
Deng Chunhua has given birth to three more children here, what else can she do to her?
Nowadays, the family's money is all managed by my elder sister, and everything given to Deng Chunhua is well-measured.
No matter what the fuss is this time, the old sister said that we must go!
The eldest nephew is now prosperous, and the life at home is not tight anymore. On the one hand, he is more generous in doing things. The elder sister is very shrewd in her own right. She told herself what she said for half the night last night, and she also said, not to mention that she was raised by others.
Having a child in our family is a favor to us, and we only consider it in terms of reputation. It is absolutely impossible to be so rigid. Now it is nothing to lower your head, but if you don't lower your head, don't admit this mistake, and don't say soft words
, just wait, there are a lot of unpleasant things to say in Shiliba Village.
As for people, there are people who hate them and people who laugh at them don't. The Lin family's two-room life is getting more and more prosperous, and there are more people who hate it.
Once you become more capable, you can leave this hometown.
That's fart!
In the words of the old sister: "My parents are still buried here. We will have to be buried here when we die in the future. Don't let people poke our spines. This country has a good character. Whenever you talk about us, don't let people criticize you."
…”
In fact, even if the old sister didn't say it, he knew it.
The eldest nephew's side is at a critical moment. Don't just look at the driver, it also depends on whose driver it is. If the arrangements are well made, you can also go to a good department. This is considered to have taken root in the provincial capital. Old sister
He has always been very cautious in doing things, leaving nothing to be said.
Even his own child's biological uncle still speaks with a grain of salt.
Old sisters who have a lot of money are never picky about money and are very generous. Therefore, no matter who the children are, they can really treat this mother as their own mother.
I was busy all night yesterday making arrangements for the sacrifices. The elder sister came first with her children. She went around to Su Youde's place and inquired about the Jin family in detail before coming over.
Face to face with the two children, his heart was somewhat shaken. When the second girl was sent out, she was only one foot long and weighed four kilograms. Now she is standing there slim and graceful. He really believes what the old man said. He has seen so many things.
Girl, no one is as good as yours. It has nothing to do with looks, it’s just that once you stand there, you will have a certain momentum.
In Su Youde’s words: He is a character!
When I saw Yingzi, I still felt a little sad. As the first child, every time she went home, she always managed to bring a few feet of flower cloth and asked her mother to make new clothes. It was rare to see her child once when she went home.
It's amazing...
Thinking of those past events, I couldn't help but sigh.
The tea was brought to his hand diligently. He took it and took two sips before he found his own voice: "...If there is anything that is missing at home, just speak up. You are not an outsider."
"There is nothing missing!" Jin Mancheng said with a smile on his face: "Just say hello and someone will deliver it..."
He Xiaowan passed by the door, curled her lips after hearing the sound, and came over to say hello to Lin Yutong and Yingzi: "... Say hello? What a face! Those who don't know think it's how capable he is."
The person involved in this kind of thing didn't say anything, so why are you trying to get involved?
It depends on whether the old Lin family recognizes their cheap daughter and son-in-law, you might as well recognize them.
Anyway, it's quite embarrassing for such an unexpected person to come to the door. As for not saying hello in the past, it's impossible to talk about it now, because these filial sons and grandsons have begun to get busy.
There are grave diggers in the cemetery, and the filial son has to go there with wine and greet the filial son first, and then the filial daughter brings a water bottle and delivers water. They are building a house for the elderly, so they have to treat them with respect. When they come back, they have to eat three meals a day.
There was wine, meat, delicious food and good drinks.
I run back and forth to the cemetery several times a day. Most of the time, I am on the way back and forth.
No matter who the guest is at home, the owner does not care about it. There is a deacon in charge, and he will handle it.
Sanlanzi was not allowed to wear filial piety, but they did not go back either, so they took their whole family to stay here. When it was time to eat, they ate and drank when they should. They also had to arrange a place for them to sleep at night and wait for their daughter.
When it was time for the filial son to go out, she followed behind him, wearing the same clothes except not wearing white.
You can't chase people away yet.
Aunt Jin had a droopy face the whole time, very unhappy.
There is also a certain etiquette in greeting those who dig graves at the cemetery. They will ask for money for "road construction" from the daughter of this family.
The tomb is not dug, but a large slope is dug down, and the hole is dug along the slope. This slope is called "road construction". Once the road is built, the coffin will be placed smoothly when it is lowered diagonally, and it will not disturb the person lying on it.
If the people inside are not properly repaired, it will be a disaster. They will be tumbling around and unable to be buried. There are also those who are unscrupulous. When repairing the tomb, they will simply cut off two inches or leave the edges untouched.
If you smooth it out, the coffin won't be able to go down and only a few inches will be exposed. In the end, the last 'door' won't be able to be closed.
Not to mention that some people actually believe in Feng Shui, but if they let their relatives in the future see it, they will feel less uncomfortable. In the end, they will not leave any peace to others, and they will feel uncomfortable whenever they think about it.
So usually, when someone asks for money for 'road construction', the daughter will quickly come up with it.
Of course, these people don't want too much.
The old lady's three daughters are here. I won't talk about the third one, but I will give the money to the other two.
The leader said, if Da Meizi's family has a capable son, please pay more and give him two yuan. Erju's family should pay less, just give him fifty cents.
The two of them haven't spoken yet, and San Lanzi quit, "You are so poor that you are robbing money!"
This is hard to hear.
In the coldest month of winter, the ground was frozen solid. Unexpectedly, all these young men took off their cotton-padded jackets and their sweaters were soaked through.
Aunt Jin stared, "What's the matter with you? What do you do!"
When Lin Yutong saw her face change, she quickly called her "Uncle", "Why bother with her?" He kept saying it was a hard work, and took out ten dollars and handed it over, "Uncle! You should pay whatever you want to build the road for us. This money is what I deserve."
Not much, just buy some wine for everyone."
The man pushed him away and said, "Tong, you shouldn't have to pay for this money. I know you are a good boy. This time, it's you and the fourth child who are taking the trouble. I want the money that should be taken away from the general ledger."
, Uncle went directly to the ceremony room. This old man is not the elder of his son and grandson, so he is not the elder of his daughter's grandson?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have set so many details, all for his daughter.
That’s the truth!
Without saying a word, Da Meizi took two large bills and handed them twenty yuan without saying anything else.
As soon as the man saw it, he accepted it.
The big plums can be taken out now, and she should take them too.
Erju's face turned red and she asked her eldest sister to compare with her. She was a little embarrassed to take 50 cents, but it was really not much more.
He took out a fifty-cent piece and two two-cent pieces. Anyway, he didn't have enough to get together and handed them over, "...I don't have any more, that's what I want..."
This person didn’t ask for fifty cents, but only took a two-cent piece, “That’s enough! It’ll be fine as long as Sister Erju’s wishes come true.”
Lin Yutong Yingzi and several granddaughter-in-laws lit cigarettes and poured tea for others. Finally, they lined up in a row and kowtowed respectfully to others as a thank you.
Li Xian'er got up and joked with these people, especially the young ones, "...you have to dig carefully, or the old lady will pinch your noses at night..."
This one said: "Sister-in-law, be careful with yourself first, but you have to cry loudly, or else my breasts will pinch you first."
The one said: "Sister-in-law, you don't dare to shout without shedding tears..."
He was laughing and joking.
The unpleasantness disappeared instantly.
Sanlanzi supported her eldest sister all the way back. Wasn't Da Meizi hunched over? It was a bit difficult to walk. She supported her eldest sister all the way and said: "...the eldest sister also gave so much. Twenty yuan is enough for our family to live for half a year."
That’s right. My children here don’t even have enough to eat, but my eldest sister is very generous to outsiders..."
Da Meizi was not being generous, but just wanted to make herself feel better.
For this funeral, she originally thought, but it really didn't work out. She would have to pay for it. The second nephew asked for a funeral, so this matter had to be done decently. But who knew that this time it would be such a big deal, just to have food.
Even if we come back to do it, we won't be able to do it like this.
How to do it?
I gave you fifty as a gift, and you have to step up when it's time to step up elsewhere, otherwise you'll really get stabbed in the back.
It's just that now, the couple have not returned yet. She is very anxious. If she is not generous at this time, she is afraid that the whole production team will scold her.
Not wanting to talk to Lanzi, I simply pushed her away. I thought, if it didn't work out, I would have to ask Youyou to go to the county town at night. Even if the sky fell and she had food, she would have to come back.
As a result, after breakfast the next day, it was almost time to start mourning, and Zheng Youliang came back.
What is a funeral? It is preparing to bury someone.
The coffin must be covered with a mattress, and then the person must be carried inside. The coffin must be tidied up one last time, and the quilt must be covered. Get a towel, ask the daughter to wash her face one last time, and then stuff bundles of straw into the coffin.
There are other gaps inside. I am afraid that people will stir inside when the coffin shakes.
What Lin Yutong meant was to put all the old lady's original bedding, clothes and other things inside, and it would be almost stuffed. But Aunt Jin was reluctant to part with it, "What are you afraid of after using the milk? You can use it just like it has been washed."
There are also seven or eight pairs of new shoes, all packed in?
Prodigal!
Take a look at these remaining clothes, there are many people who want them.
Everyone here has entered the coffin, and the old lady’s eldest grandson just came back. This is very ugly.
Stationmaster Qiao and Director Ming, who could only be regarded as friends, all arrived and were sitting under the shed built outside before he rushed back.
It's just the county town, and it takes more than an hour to walk there.
It doesn't make sense.
He was born and raised in this alley, and they are all acquaintances.
This one said: "Is this the case where the president of our court is back? Hurry, we can't catch up soon."
The one said: "You know our dean is busy, why are you talking so much?"
One mouthful at a time made Zheng Youliang unable to talk to anyone.
The filial sons didn't care about anything, they just knelt there and cried in mourning.
Aunt Jin was babbling and crying, but her ears were tingling. Now she began to 'welcome the table', which is the most lively part of the burial, asking everyone to see what sacrifices the relatives had brought with them.
Yingzi and Lin Yutong have definitely made a big splash.
Not to mention the double gift from the Lin family, plus the double gift from the little old lady, and the double gift from Grandma Cai. Because I didn’t buy a pig head, I just used two slings, both of which were four.
pound of pork substitute.
It is equivalent to two daughters-in-law receiving six gifts.
The gifts are all placed on the table, one gift per table. Six gifts are six tables. They are placed at the front of the mourning hall, usually in a row.
This was a big deal at the time. Everyone praised it, whether it was the little old lady, Mrs. Cai, or the Lin family.
He Xiaowan's natal mother came, not so many, but quite satisfactory. The key is that He Xiaowan has many uncles and uncles, as well as cousins. There are more than a dozen families in total, and each family is not shabby. This adds up to a lot.
Missing. Anyway, one table has not been set, and two tables have not been gathered together, but they are still counted as two, which is very embarrassing for He Xiaowan.
As for Aunt Jin herself, she is the eldest daughter, with six younger brothers and three younger sisters. The family can afford three tables together.
Lin Yutong heard Aunt Jin say to Yingzi, "Don't think that I subsidize your uncle's family. Now look, it's not used."
The three daughters and Sanlanzi were not prepared at all. The other two each set up a table, and the whole yard was filled with the sacrifices.
The entire Ping'an Town has not held such a dignified funeral in many years.
When they arrived at Li Xian'er's parents' house, Aunt Jin's face turned green with anger. Li Xian'er's own face also turned red.
No one can imagine what the Li family got.
People used a piece of lard weighing half a kilogram instead of the pig head. Lard is actually not easy to sell nowadays. Sometimes pigs are killed, the lard is refined and saved, and then sold to snack makers during the Chinese New Year.
So the least valuable thing is lard. Half a pound of lard is about the size of a palm.
Forget it. Shouldn't there be four kinds of fruits in the end? There are few fruits nowadays, and when they are unavailable, canned fruits are used instead. No matter what kind of canned fruits they are, four bottles count... Li's family can do it well, put it
What came up were four and a half bottles. It must mean that I bought two bottles and then found the empty bottles and divided them into four parts.
There are also dried fruits, so-called dried fruits, dates, walnuts, persimmons, these all count, as well as snacks. Each one counts.
Good guy, among the four kinds of dried fruits, there are two plates of dates, which are the kind of wild wild dates that grow everywhere. Only the date cores are left withered. No one eats these things. Nowadays, when I go to the wild, I can still pick half a bag.
.It’s this thing. There are two plates, which are two kinds of dried fruits, and the other two things are two plates of snacks. They are covered with green hair. I don’t know how long they have been there.
The faces of everyone in the Jin family are turning green. If you really don’t have any, you’re just like He Xiaowan’s natal family. They don’t have pig heads, so they steam a flowered steamed bun weighing four or five kilograms. Don’t care whether the steamed bun is made of corn flour or white flour, it’s still good to eat.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to put it in. If I can't get four things together, I can just use two. Two bottles of cans, two packs of snacks, and the rest are all replaced by steamed buns. This is not rude, but it is used.
Thoughtful.
Erju's husband's family is not always so prepared when they come, Aunt Jin also knows what kind of life it is there, and the sacrifices are just a thought.
There is no fucking way to bully people like this, especially bullying dead people.
The butler didn't wait for the person to speak, but said first, "Remove this table, my old aunt has too many offerings, and she can't eat this."
This is very embarrassing.
From beginning to end, the Li family did not even show their faces outside.
This is just a matter of anger, can you say it out loud? Besides, the spirit is about to be awakened, and people should be carried into the ground.
The coffin was carried into the Eight Immortals' sedan. The sedan was also very heavy. According to Lin Yutong's estimate, the coffin weighed not less than 1,000 kilograms but also 800 kilograms. Fifty or sixty young men carried it up, followed by dozens more.
Can be replaced at any time.
What people often say is, maintain more people, otherwise no one will care about you even if your parents die.
That's what I'm talking about.
The five sons of the Jin family usually help others carry out funerals. Plus the second brother Jin and the third son Jin are people who like to socialize outside, so there are many people. There are also friends with the fourth master, so they get together.
,A large group.
Liu Zhuang and Qian Cuicui's brothers at the animal husbandry station followed them. The person in charge made a special note and asked someone to tell Lin Yutong quietly.
It is a great favor that someone is willing to come and carry the coffin of an old man at home. Of course, it must be conveyed to Lin Yutong.
It was truly a funeral. It was truly a joyous occasion. Although the crying and howling was loud, to be honest, it could only be described as lively.
After the old lady was buried, those who came back to help took their seats at the banquet. Normally, it was a tofu banquet. The tofu dishes had a bit of a meaty flavor because the commune sent dozens of kilograms of meat.
After that, the filial son had to carry the wine. Lin Yutong only followed the fourth master to pay respects to those who were involved in official matters. She didn't go to the others at all. She didn't sleep much for three days and two nights. Even a good person can't bear it, let alone the stomach.
Still carrying it.
She took Yingzi and went directly to the firewood shed at the back. She sat on the firewood pile and leaned against the wall, so that she could be confused for a while.
Unexpectedly, he was so confused that he fell into a deep sleep.
It was dark when I woke up, but it was already the night of the second day.
She didn't know what happened next. When she got up, the yard was quiet, and the fourth master was sleeping soundly. He must have been catching up on his sleep.
She rubbed her sore eyes, and when she got up, she saw that the stove was very hot, so she cooked the porridge lightly.
Fourth Master smelled the fragrance.
Lin Yutong looked outside through the window. Except for the room where Mr. Jin lived, the lights in other rooms were on. He must have woken up.
The fourth master was leaning on the kang and couldn't get up, so Lin Yutong handed the porridge to him and he could just drink it on the kang.
While eating, Lin Yutong asked about the follow-up, "...Is it going well? Nothing happened?"
The fourth master closed his eyes and chuckled, "The Li family turned over the table in order to return the gift."
There are particularities to giving back gifts. For example, if you take a pig's head, four kinds of dried fruits, and four kinds of fruits, it is considered a gift. Half of the gift in return should be returned. Break the pig's head open and return half, and the same goes for dried fruits. After that, the host's family will decide how far or near they are according to the distance.
Return eight flower buns or sixteen flower buns.
When we arrive at Li Xian'er's parents' house, how do we calculate this gift?
Aunt Jin is not a person who is willing to suffer losses. She wants to give me a piece of suet as big as a palm in exchange for half a pig's head. It's so cheap for you. Don't even think about it! Just return the gift from the Li family exactly as it is!
This was also a moment of anger, but Aunt Song, who was helping to return the gift, only glanced at Aunt Jin, and actually wrapped it in the basket she brought and put it aside.
There were a lot of people talking, and before the meal was finished, the Li family overturned the table and asked what the Jin family meant? People who are rich look down on their poor relatives. My daughter married into the Jin family to show mourning for the elderly.
Yes, why do you mean to break off the relationship?
According to the old rules, sending the gift back as it is means that there is no intention to interact with the person.
Aunt Jin had such a bad temper. But Aunt Song acted with ulterior motives, and the good guy got into trouble.
Peach Blossom Lady secretly said to Aunt Jin: "You and Lao Song have not dealt with each other for a day. Why do you still ask her to get involved in everything?"
Aunt Jin hated Aunt Song to death, but unfortunately, she said what she said, and they just followed it.
Originally it was the Li family who was at fault, but as soon as this incident came out, people secretly said that the Jin family was too strict and unforgiving.
Or Peach Blossom Lady secretly stuffed eight more flower buns into it, and then she took out the gift and showed it to others, saying that the Li family's in-laws had made a mistake, wasn't this just a gift?
Aunt Jin could only endure this. The Li family didn't give a penny as a gift and returned all the things they brought. The family had a meal and took away eight large steamed buns. This was the only thing that happened.
Stop like this.
Lin Yutong heard Fourth Master say this so vividly that she couldn't help but want to laugh. She actually felt it was even more ridiculous than the thing itself.
The Fourth Master tapped her bowl with his chopsticks, and then he couldn't help but want to laugh. Really! This life was much more exciting than the stories compiled by the Qingping Department.
After eating and cleaning up, I was just about to lie down and go back to sleep when I heard my mother-in-law calling her sons and daughters-in-law.
No need to ask, you all know why, it must be a discussion about gift money.
The room was not big, so everyone was packed in as soon as they entered. Old man Jin put the gift book there and motioned to his sons to take a look, "What should I do with this gift money?"
Just as Boss Jin was about to take it, Second Boss Jin held him down, "Everything about Nai's funeral was not done by Fourth Brother from beginning to end? Most of the human relations here are from Fourth Brother's side. Don't look at it.
It's a lot of money. If someone has something to do with their family in the future, Laosi and Tong will have to repay the gift." He said, feeling a little dissatisfied with his parents in his words, "This thing shouldn't be brought out to us at all. Give it to us.
The fourth child, the breast is even buried by the fourth child. The future affairs of the grandfather, including the funeral affairs of the parents, have nothing to do with the fourth child. The fourth child can bury an elder in the same room. We will do the rest.
It’s about the four brothers.”
That’s right.
Old Man Jin glanced at the old woman. The first hundred yuan in the gift book belonged to the fourth son, and the ingredients used in the service were also obtained by the fourth son and his wife. No matter how much gift money was received, 99% of it was
That part was all directed at the fourth son and his wife. So it is correct to say that this matter was done by the fourth son from beginning to end.
Jin Lao San had no objection, "Let's just leave it all to Lao Si. We don't care and we don't ask any questions."
The amount of gift money actually exceeds a thousand yuan. After excluding the funeral expenses, there is still more than 800 yuan left.
Before Old Man Jin could say anything, Aunt Jin handed Lin Yutong all the money wrapped in newspapers, "You two can do the math on your own when you go back."
Lin Yutong looked away from Li Xian'er who kept pinching Jin Mancheng's hand, and actually took it.
When rice rises and rice falls, rice falls short of grace, and some people still can't give her a chance to take advantage.
After going back and looking through the gift book twice, Lin Yutong took out the book and sorted it all out again.
This thing must be kept well. If something happens to someone's family in the future, they will have to look through the gift book to see how much gift they gave me, and they will have to pay it back.
It's divided into categories and organized.
There are only three categories here. One category is official. Many gifts are given in the name of the company. Don't look at the ones without personal names. This kind of favor is often more difficult to repay than the personal one. Just this one
The total gift money for each category is 800 yuan. It is not a small amount. The second category is the Lin family. The gift money is taken separately because the gift money is large. The Lin family’s two houses add up to a total of 250 yuan. Fifty yuan of which is for the provincial capital.
The gifts given by the eldest cousin who did not show up were one hundred each for Aunt Lin and Lin Jiacheng. Because the eldest son of the eldest son got married, it was counted as a separate gift. The third category was relatives and friends, which did not add up.
When it reaches one hundred, there is also fifty yuan from Da Meizi.
The fourth master took out three hundred yuan from it and said, "Give these to the second brother tomorrow."
The gift money from the Lin family, plus the gift money from the second child's friends, the little old lady, and Mrs. Cai because of Yingzi, it's not much less than three hundred.
Lin Yutong took it and understood what Fourth Master meant.
When she gave it to Yingzi, Yingzi definitely didn't want it. This is what she said, "...Tell the second brother to keep quiet. In two days, I will find a way to get some food from the grain station. It's not good, but it should be fine to pay off the debt. That food will be enough
Seventy-one pounds of hair, three hundred can buy more than 1,700 pounds. They are all wheat. I remember that most of the things I borrowed were corn. We paid nine pounds of wheat for ten pounds of corn, so this grain is almost the same.
That's enough. Let's pay back everything else first, and then let's talk. We have enough left to pay off our debts. Besides, this is almost all given by the Lin family, and it's not just for me."
Yingzi hesitated for a moment, but accepted it, "...I will return it to you in the future, one yard at a time."
When Jin Lao Er came back, she told Jin Lao Er, "... Lao Si and Tong Tong both have good intentions. They left enough to pay off the debt, and they also asked us to pay off the debt... I thought about it, what is the debt owed to others?
I owe, I owe them, and we are brothers and sisters... It's not easy to force them back... They have no debts, they have wages, and their money is not so tight... We can't pay back fifty or three in a year.
Ten, I can always pay it off..."
Jin Laoer was speechless for a long time. He opened the bed sheet on the kang and took out a shoe shape cut out by Yingzi from underneath. It was the only writing paper he could find in the house. He burned it with a firewood stick and blew it out.
, I used the black end to pay the IOU, took it and went directly to Lao Si next door.
There was a knock on the door, and Jin Lao Er's voice came, "Fourth brother, have you slept? I want to ask you something?"
The fourth master started to do it but didn't get off the bed. "Come in, second brother. What's the matter?"
"I wonder if there is any work available at the commune?" Jin Laoer said and came in.
Lin Yutong was getting off the kang, said hello, and poured tea for Jin Laoer. First he rinsed the tea bowl, opened the door and poured water into the yard. As soon as he stepped out, he saw a figure flashing on the opposite window.
Hey! It must be the eldest couple who are looking over here from the window.
The only disadvantage of living in a courtyard is that others can hear your farts.
He closed the door as soon as he came in, and the fourth master held a shoe-shaped IOU cut out of a piece of paper in his hand, dumbfounded, "Second brother, you really don't need it..."
Jin Laoer waved his hand, "Brothers will settle the accounts tomorrow, otherwise the money will be returned to you."
This person!
Okay! Fourth Master gave the IOU to Tongtong, and then told Jin Laoer about other things, "...the land will be divided in the spring, and the breeding farm will definitely not be able to work. When the pigs and sheep are killed at the end of the year, the members will take the meat."
Well, I definitely won’t raise them next year. Why don’t the second brother go find someone and ask, what will happen to the house in the breeding farm?”
Jin Laoer slapped his thigh, "That's right!"
Don't look at the livestock shed as a shed for livestock. All the available materials are good. Although there are only three walls, they are all made of blue bricks and tiles. After this batch is taken down, only one wall is built with adobe, and the remaining
Windows and doors will suffice. At most, Li will build two more partition walls to separate the kitchen and bedroom. There will be no need for outsiders to sit down, and just the brothers at home will take care of it in two days.
There are two sheds in the east and west of the breeding farm. The yard is large and separated in the middle. There are exactly two yards.
The fourth master said: "You and my third brother live in one house. If the boss doesn't want to move, then don't move. It's easy for me and Tong. We can either live in the animal husbandry station or in the commune compound..." Or I can find another way.
Woolen cloth.
It's better than being crowded together like this.
