The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

Chapter 204: The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (Extra 2)

Chapter 204 The best sister-in-law in the 1980s (Extra 2)

Xu Yin got off the miscellaneous card and was surrounded by a group of neighbors.

They were all looking at a large cardboard box that was taller than a person standing at her feet.

Yinyin, what good things have you bought for your family?

Xu Yin smiled and said, Its hot, so I bought a refrigerator for my parents.

Fortunately, you can now get a three-wheeled truck that pulls goods and people in the town. Otherwise, if you call it from the county town, the fare would be quite high.

When hearing about the refrigerator, the crowd was in an uproar.

Isnt this a bit expensive?

Not only is it a bit expensive, its also very expensive!

More expensive than a TV set.

Tsk, tsk! Girl Yin, didnt you just graduate from college? Did you make money so quickly? It seems that the unit efficiency is very good?

"What do you know!" Xu's mother arrived, panting and pushing through the crowd, "My Yinyin still needs to study further. She must have bought the refrigerator with her scholarship, right, my daughter?"

Yes. Xu Yin nodded.

I didnt explain to my parents: scholarships and bonuses are two completely different concepts.

The scholarship costs 180 yuan a day for one academic year, and even after four years of saving, it is not enough to buy a refrigerator.

But the prize is different. The solar panel she designed (the idea came from the solar RV that the system awarded her) is already applying for a patent. Once it is approved, the prize amount can exceed five figures.

Originally I wanted to buy a washing machine for my home, but there was no running water in the countryside, so it was inconvenient to use the washing machine.

Not to mention that her mother scolded her for being a prodigal last time, saying she used a machine to wash clothes? What's wrong!

Just dont buy it yet.

But the refrigerator is definitely needed at home. When the farm is busy, buy more meat and vegetables. If you don't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator to avoid it going rancid overnight.

This refrigerator was bought during a sale at the Imperial City No. 1 Department Store on May Day. It has double doors and a large capacity.

Put it in the system warehouse after buying it. When I got to town, I called Xiaosanka and found an uninhabited corner to take it out. Home appliance counters in Pingyang County may not have this model.

Sure enough, Xus mother was very happy and praised her for buying the right thing.

There was a refrigerator at home, and Xu's mother was reluctant to go out for a while. She first found a clean rag and wiped the refrigerator inside and out. After turning on the power, she cooked mung bean soup and let it cool, then put it in ice, and steamed cold cakes in it. , mixed the cold dish and put it in ice... When I got up from my nap, I took it out and looked at it, "Oh! It is indeed a refrigerator, much cooler than the one in Jingshui Town!"

Xu Yin didnt want to see her mother doing such childish refrigerator experiments every day, so she took her expanded schoolbag and went out for a walk on the enhanced version of the electric donkey that was modified for the second time last year.

On the first day, she went to Da'ao Village to see her grandmother.

When I went there, I carried a bag full of specialties from the imperial capital, and came back with a sack full of high-quality mountain treasures.

Since Da'ao Village earned money from selling mountain products, it mobilized villagers to contract the mountain.

Her uncle's apparent income was similar to that of other villagers, but in fact he had a hidden income from Tongcheng.

The popularity of mountain goods in Tongcheng is much higher than that in Pingyang County. In less than two years, he followed in her footsteps and became a household worth ten thousand yuan.

As soon as the mountain contracting documents came out, he was the first to respond and contracted the entire hill behind his house.

Except for the original chestnut and walnut trees, other shrubs and miscellaneous trees were cleared and peach trees were planted.

The first year of contracting was completed, and it was sold at a good price after autumn.

This year is the second year. I thought it would stop for a year, but I didnt expect that after flowering, it would bear fruit again, more than last year. According to the fruit tree cultivation method that my niece taught him, I removed some bad fruits, and the remaining ones were big. Its beautiful and this year is another good harvest year.

Seeing her uncles family smiling happily from ear to ear, Xu Yin was sincerely happy for them.

The next day, she went to Houhai Village to visit her sister-in-laws family, and stopped by the seafood wholesale market to purchase a batch of fresh local seafood.

In recent years, more and more villages have set up fishery cooperative organizations, and more than ten large fishing boats have been raised to raise funds. The largest seafood wholesale market in the county has also been built nearby.

Large seafood that was not common in the past has now become a frequent visitor in the seafood wholesale market.

Xu Yin would come here every year when she came back during the winter and summer vacations.

The wholesale market closed early, so she went to the seafood market first, and then went to her sister-in-law's house.

The Li family's tidal flat breeding industry is booming, business is getting better and better every year, and more and more varieties are cultured every year.

Today, the Li family has long since shed their former poverty, renovated a new house, and expanded the scale of breeding. Now they not only have razor clams and hairy clams, but also blue crabs and prawns.

This is polyculture - the tidal flats are divided into areas, like paddy fields. In the water area, mud crabs are raised on the bottom layer, shrimps are raised on the upper layer, razor clams are raised in the tidal flat mud, and clams are raised on the surface.

Polyculture can reduce breeding risks, but it is very difficult. Thanks to Xu Yin for sending them the "Seafood Polyculture Technical Manual".

With their unyielding spirit and this technical book that can be compared to a secret treasure, the Li familys breeding farm has become the leading representative of Houhai Village.

No, when she saw Xu Yin coming to the door, Mother Li immediately called her eldest grandson to the breeding farm and picked up a basket of blue crabs, knowing that Xu Yin liked to eat them.

Before it was time to eat, it was steamed, mixed with a plate of **** paste and vinegar sauce, and let Xu Yin eat while chatting. When you leave later, bring her some other seafood.

During the chat, Xu Yin learned that the fishing boat she had a stake in was very profitable. Perhaps this was the opportunity brought about by the courage to be the first to eat crabs.

During the winter vacation of my freshman year, there was no dividend as the Li family said, but they were given a bunch of overseas seafood: hairtail weighing three to four kilograms, giant squid weighing five kilograms, and palm-sized prawns... In the middle of winter that year, Her family had a very prosperous New Year.

In the next few years, I didnt share seafood again.

Everyone likes to share money. No matter how delicious the seafood is, there is no practical way to make money.

Dividends from the fishery industry have been increasing year by year. By last year's New Year, they had already surpassed her father's harvest from a year of hard work.

She divided the money into three parts: one for her parents to support her in old age, and one for her brother and sister-in-law to support the family. Her share was basically converted into supplies.

For example, when I visited the seafood market this time, I bought a lot of fresh seafood that is not available in inland cities. I also bought a lot of dry goods such as dried shrimps, eels, and yellow croakers.

Before returning to school, I will take a trip to Tongcheng to see my brother-in-law and nephews, and bring them some local specialties.

Her brother was promoted again this year, and his house was moved from the original staff building to a separate staff courtyard. Xu Yin has not been there yet. Her sister-in-law has sent letters and phone calls, inviting her to play there more than once. Her two nephews also shouted that they miss their aunt. You might as well go and identify the door.

When we came out of Houhai Village, the sun had not yet set in the west. Xu Yin was not in a hurry to go home and rode a small electric donkey to the west end of the village.

Fu Lingling got married last year, to none other than Xu Yin's cousin Xu Jianjun, who was living just a room away from her.

Because of this, Xu Jianjun almost had a falling out with his family, because his mother did not allow him to marry a woman with two wives, even if she was still a young lady.

But Lingling doesnt want any betrothal gift, just this requirementto get married with twins.

Mainly because she was worried that after she got married, the twins would be wronged if they stayed in her natal family, so she made it clear to her spouse that she would live with her nieces and nephews after marriage.

Xu Jianjun likes her, and Aiwujiwu also likes the twins.

Xu Dajiao cried and howled for several days. During this period, he came to Xu's mother to discuss the matter.

Xus mother didnt say anything, but murmured in her heart:

Do I have a good relationship with you? Have you forgotten that you had such a heated argument with me over having one more share of the ridge in the rice field and one less share? He actually came to me for advice.

Dont be afraid that Ill give you a bad idea: let you take a pair of scissors and cut off your Jianjun. All problems will be solved, and your dissatisfied daughter-in-law will disappear.

But do you dare to say this to your face? It was said that the two families were absolutely mortal enemies.

So, Xus mother curled her lips and said:

"I can't take it. Jiang Jun is not my son. Could it be that you want to adopt him to me?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Xu Daji spat angrily, "I'm asking you if there is any way to prevent him from marrying me."

"Don't let him marry? Do you want him to be a widower for the rest of his life? That's not right! The widower has married a wife after all. Your family is so young when it was founded, so you want him to stay married for the rest of his life?"

Xu Dajiao regretted it and came to Geng Jinhua to discuss it after he got dizzy.

Forget it, the brat will marry whomever he likes. She doesn't care!

The fact is, she cant control it even if she wants to!

In recent years, most of the familys income has been earned by the younger son.

Xu Jianjun himself was also motivated. In order to prevent his wife from being wronged when she married, he directly approved a homestead and built a small bungalow similar to Xu Yin's house. After marriage, he lived separately with his parents.

They are indispensable for the annual pension and various rituals during holidays, but they cannot interfere with his marriage.

Fu Lingling was moved by his sincerity and went to him with her twins and the royalties she had saved over the past few years.

Because she insisted on not wanting the bride price, her natal family was so angry that they broke off the relationship with her, and they had no contact with her in these years.

Fortunately, the couple has a good relationship and they are happily married.

The publishing house where Fu Lingling contributed her articles is trying a new model and asked her if she would like to publish a collection of essays from the columns she wrote in the past few years.

Of course Fu Lingling agreed, but she thought it was just a collection of books, so the sales would be unexpectedly good.

My wallet suddenly bulged. Last year during the Chinese New Year, I bought my parents-in-law a TV set similar to the one used in Xu Yins house. Xu Dajiao never said anything bad about his daughter-in-law again.

Fu Lingling was very happy when she saw Xu Yin coming to the door with a gift.

"Yinyin, are you back? When did you come back? Why didn't you write a letter in advance so that Jianjun could pick you up at the train station? Oh, look, the house is in chaos!"

The twins are less than five years old, which is the age when cats hate dogs and there is no quiet time when they are awake.

The house was finally tidied up, but soon it became messy again.

Welcoming Xu Yin through the door, Fu Lingling made a glass of honey water for her.

"Jianjun went out to deliver goods a while ago and brought back a few kilograms of local honey and caramel. That one is quite delicious. You can bring some back later."

Xu Yin is welcome. The local honey at this time is real local honey, without any adulteration.

She handed her the souvenirs: a pack of Imperial City specialty assorted gift boxes, two cans, and two pounds of brown sugar.

I heard from my mother that Brother Jianjun is now a millionaire. He knew you had enough food and clothing, so he didnt bring anything else.

"These are very good!" Fu Lingling held her hand, a little choked, "Thanks to you for helping me these years, I can publish books and earn royalties, thanks to you; I can get to know Jianjun because of you. I have been thinking about it. , I dont know what would have happened to our aunt and nephew without you..."

Xu Yin clapped her hand and said, "We are classmates, so if we say this, we will be strangers!"

Fu Lingling gave the twins a handful of imperial candies, a specialty of the Imperial Capital, brought by Xu Yin, and asked them to go aside to play while chatting with Xu Yin.

I am sincerely happy to learn that Xu Yin is recommended to be a graduate student at BGI.

"I used to think about taking the college entrance examination when the twins are older, but now it's too difficult to continue studying after getting married... Fortunately, you sent me that set of books, so that I can learn college knowledge at home. Even if I dont have a diploma, I can still write now and I can always make some money to support my family.

When Xu Yin was a freshman, she sent a set of basic textbooks from the Chinese Department to Fu Lingling, and she would send a set every semester thereafter.

At the time, she was not sure whether this set of textbooks would be of much help to Lingling, so she thought that it was a university textbook after all, and it would be a good idea to learn more.Now it seems that the effect is still there.

Although Fu Lingling dropped out of high school in her third year of high school, her temperament and conversation are not inferior to those of undergraduates.

It can be seen that the saying that knowledge arms people is reasonable.

Lets not talk about me, lets talk about you. You are twenty-two this year, right? Do you have a partner?

Xu Yin held back for a while, Im only twenty-one.

She is still a little girl.

Before she read the book, she was still single after her second year of study. She was single until the end of her life as a peasant girl. She was even younger in this life, so she had no one to talk to. Can the object have the inclination to travel around the world?

Fu Lingling pursed her lips and smiled: "You are one year old at that time. We use fictitious age here. Twenty-two is not too young. There is no conflict between studying and talking to someone, right?"

Im busy. Xu Yin complained, Im either doing experiments or writing papers every day, so I dont have the energy.

The major you study should have more boys, right? You havent met anyone youre compatible with after four years?

Speaking of closing eyes, a face suddenly appeared in Xu Yin's mind. He was gentle and elegant. Everyone said that his temperament was as gentle and elegant as white jade in the breeze. Only she always felt the alienation and indifference under his gentle surface.

Yin Yin?

Huh? Xu Yin suddenly came back to her senses.

What the hell! How could she think of her mentor's most beloved disciple at this time, her senior brother who was five years older than her? The two of them had never met each other several times.

It was getting late, so Xu Yin declined Fu Lingling's invitation to stay for dinner and rode a small electric donkey back home.

She did not go out again for a few days.

The family has to harvest rice and fish, and the first batch of watermelons planted during spring plowing have reached maturity, so they are very busy.

She didnt know much about anything else, but she was pretty good at cooking, so she provided for the familys three meals a day as well as herbal tea and snacks in the afternoon.

Needless to say, Old Xus family had a good harvest of fish, rice and melons this year, so there was no need for them to sell them out. Buyers from all over the country came to Xujia Village early to wait, and as soon as the harvest was harvested, they quoted the amount in the order in which the deposit was paid.

Our cotton spinning factory needs 800 catties of new rice, 200 rice fish, and 100 watermelons.

Our machinery factory wants three hundred rice fish and three hundred watermelons.

"us"

They are all sent by their work units to purchase Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

As the buyers at the front of the queue happily took away the fish, rice and melons they ordered, those at the back could not help but become anxious.

Brother, leave some for us!

Thats it! Dont let it be our turn!

Daddy Xu comforted me cheerfully: "Don't worry, don't worry, except for the new rice, there are still fish and melons, enough for you and your family to share."

In fact, the purchasers all want to buy some new rice from Lao Xus family. Even if you don't buy for your company, it's still good to buy some for your own family.

The early rice from Lao Xus family is more delicious than the japonica rice from the grain station. Its so soft and fluffy that I still want to eat it.

No matter how hard they talk, the old Xu family is only willing to sell two acres of new rice at most, and the remaining two acres are meant to be kept for their own consumption.

Xu Yin stayed at home for half a month to get through the busy farming season. The work in the fields was relatively free. It was almost time for her to go back to school. On the way, she had to get off the car in Tongcheng to visit her brother and sister-in-law.

No matter how reluctant Xus mother was, she had no choice but to let him go.

My daughter is going to study for further education. For her future, how can her parents hold back her.

"Let your father check in these four hundred kilograms of new rice, send two hundred kilograms to your brother, send two hundred kilograms to your school, and bring you fifty kilograms of glutinous rice in exchange for the Jianjun family. Don't you like it? Do you want to eat glutinous rice? The dormitory is open now. If you want to eat it, you can steam it yourself."

As Xu's mother muttered, she took out four sacks of rice for consignment, and packed another fifty kilograms of glutinous rice for her daughter.

Xu Yin was speechless: "Mom, how could I eat so much?"

The instructor helped her to get a single -earth dormitory. She wanted to buy a coal stove. She just mentioned it. I didn't expect her parents to remember it.

The most indispensable thing in her system's warehouse is food. When she was a farm girl, she made enough money with ancient brown sugar and canned fruits. She finally donated half of it, and the remaining half was exchanged for grain, cloth and other daily necessities. Among them, food accounts for the largest proportion.

But Xus mother didnt know that. She only knew that it used to be a dormitory for seven people and no groups were allowed. Otherwise, she would have sent new rice to her daughter. The rice in the cafeteria is not as delicious as the freshly rolled rice at home.

Anyway, you dont need to carry it yourself. When the rice arrives, you can pay some money to hire a mistress to transport it to your dormitory.

After Xu's mother put the things away, she urged the old man to find the tractor driver in the village and take her daughter to the train station.

Xu Yin hasnt been to Tongcheng for two years, but she roughly remembers Mrs. Xus tailor shop.

"sister in law!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sister-in-law Xu suddenly raised her head, saw her sister-in-law looking at her with a smile, and stood up excitedly:

Yin Yin, come in quickly! Its such a hot day and youre carrying so many things. Are you suffering from heat stroke? Why didnt you tell me in advance so that I could let your brother pick you up?

Fortunately, the rice has been checked in, so I can carry it.

Since it was rare for her sister-in-law to come, Sister-in-law Xu simply closed the shop door, pushed on her bicycle, and took her home to ride.

"You haven't been here since you moved, have you? It's a little way away from here, it takes about ten minutes by bike. But fortunately it's quiet. They are all single-family houses with yards in the front and back. I've grown a lot of vegetables. You like it. Whatever you want to eat, Ill cook it for you later.

Doudou and Dingding are both okay?

Its okay, its just Pi. I cant stay any longer during the summer vacation. I follow the boys from the Jiang family next door around every day. Not only did I go to their grandmas house to play today, I wont see anyone until dark.

In the past few years, Xu Zhinians small family has been changing every year. After moving into a small independent house, I bought a refrigerator, TV, fan, and washing machine.

Most of this was contributed by Sister-in-law Xu.

The business of her tailor shop is very good. Not only are people queuing up to ask her to make clothes, but also nearby garment factories are coming to her door, wanting her to work in the factory to make patterns. They even want her to be an apprentice, and the treatment will be as good as hers. Xu Zhinians allowance.

But after thinking about it, she realized that the reason why she was able to make fashionable clothes was all because of the designs that her sister-in-law sent regularly.

Without a sister-in-law, she would at best be able to make clothes, but she would never be able to make such beautiful clothes. Wouldn't it be a great person to go to a clothing factory to take apprentices? This is called moral mismatch.

Besides, her tailoring business is well established, she is free and makes money, so why should she go to the factory to be constrained.

With Xu Yin, Xu Yin said the same, Xu Dazhen's waist and pole was even more tall, and he would not go if he couldn't go.

Later, the clothing factory discussed with her whether she could tell them in advance when new models were released. If they wanted to buy the design, she could still make it at the tailor shop. Anyway, the clothing factory was mass-produced, with sporadic one-two orders. It doesn't affect them.

This is no problem.

Sister-in-law Xu thought about it and made a decision.

She recorded all the money she earned from the design drawings in her sister-in-law's name, and was not greedy for any of it.

After getting home and cooking a bowl of noodles for my sister-in-law, Sister-in-law Xu went into the house and took out a large, thick envelope:

Here! This is the dividend from the tailor shop and the design fee from the garment factory this year. Are you counting correctly? The ledger is here.

Xu Yin declined the first few times, but it was useless. Now that it's the fourth year, I no longer pretend to be pretentious and accept it calmly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"I want to thank you too." Sister-in-law Xu said with a smile, "You use your brains to help me draw design drawings every month. Without these new styles you sent me, how could I make so much money with my stupid head. I also told your brother that our family depends entirely on your help. Without you, there would be no good life now. Your brother thinks the same way."

Xu Yins face felt a little hot after being praised.

Hurry and give the things you brought home to your sister-in-law.

There are home-made pickles and meat sauce, as well as dried seafood and seafood sauce sent over by my sister-in-laws family.

Sister-in-law Xu put everything away one by one and took Xu Yin to the room specially decorated for her: "It's hot, so I've prepared a towel and blanket for you, an electric fan at the bedside, and mosquito coils under the bed..."

Sister-in-law, these two bags are... Xu Yin saw two hemp bags stacked in the corner when she entered the door, with her name written on them.

"Oh, this is an eiderdown quilt. One is three pounds, and the other is five pounds. Regardless of the weight, this quilt is very warm to cover. Five pounds can survive the winter."

Having said this, Mrs. Xu patted her head and said, "Didn't I tell you yet? The Workers' College has set up a collective factory called Duck Down Clothing. It also makes quilts. I think it's very warm, so I ordered it for you too." I made a few pairs. I also have clothes, all wrapped in quilts. Your brother said that you recommended a graduate student, so the dormitory must also be changed, right? I didnt send it yet. I wanted to contact you before sending it. "

Thank you, sister-in-law, for your trouble. Xu Yin was really touched.

Sister-in-law Xu smiled and said: "Why did I bother? I just made two more beds. Your brother teased me and asked me to warm up in advance. After all, when you get married, you will prepare eight out of ten beds. But you Dont worry, no matter how many beds there are, my sister-in-law will arrange them properly and will never embarrass you.

Xu Yin.

Whats going on recently? This topic comes up at every turn, you cant get around it, right?

Sister-in-law Xu caught a glimpse of her expression and couldn't help but asked in a narrow-minded manner: "You really have no one to date at school?"

Sister-in-law, please let me go!

Xu Yin stayed in Tongcheng for three days. She took her two nephews to eat and drink every day, and stocked up on Tongcheng specialties.

The tastes of Hu mutton and prairie mutton are different. Prairie mutton is suitable for roasting, while Hu mutton is suitable for stew. Especially when the weather is cold, stewing a pot of hot mutton and radish will taste so delicious.

Tongchengs cashmere products are also becoming more and more abundant.

I remember that when I first came to Tongcheng, I was satisfied with just buying cashmere threads. Now, in addition to cashmere threads, there are also various cashmere garments.

Mohair has also become popular in the past two years. She bought three colors in one go: off-white, blue-gray, and carmine red, and then wore them under a black woolen coat. Which girl doesnt like to be beautiful?

As for the food, I didnt miss it.

The nephew took her to Jiang's sister-in-law's natal house, and she got her wish and bought hairy crabs that she could never buy, all of which cost more than 8 taels.

Xu Yin wouldn't dare to grab those big hard pliers if they weren't **** with straw rope. How can the hairy crabs of later generations be as fierce and energetic as this?

On the night of the third day, Sister-in-law Xu prepared a table for a farewell party for Xu Yin.

Xu Zhinian took out a bottle of Maotai that was awarded by the leadership and poured a cup for Xu Yin.

Xu Yin was holding the wine cup and couldn't hold her mouth.

If this Maotai was left to future generations, it would be extremely valuable.

Looking up, her brother had already drank.

Then she wont be polite.

I dont know whether the Maotai wine was too intoxicating or the sun was too strong and made her dizzy...

In short, until she got off the train in the Imperial Capital the next evening, she still felt dizzy and even had hallucinations before her eyes:

The mentors beloved disciple, her uncanny brother, stood in front of her with a dignified temperament, saying that the teacher sent him to pick her up...
