104, Educated Youth Flower 7
Because Ji Lan wanted to firmly capture Xu Xiangqian's heart, she put great effort into this matter. On the day she returned home, she pestered the team leader for a long time, and successfully got Xu Xiangdong a job of killing pigweeds. In order to prevent others from talking, the team leader gave him 5 working points a day.
Of course Xu Xiangdong was satisfied. Su Yuanyuan was also responsible for killing pigweed! He gave Ji Lan a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law is really awesome, this family has a good relationship!"
Liu Shuying patted his back and said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly and go to work tomorrow." After that, she pulled Xu Xiaona and told her, "Nana, go back to school and study hard. Don't go out if you have nothing to do." School gate. I put ten eggs and a can of pickles in your schoolbag. Remember to eat them."
Xu Xiangdong also said: "Don't starve yourself outside. You can buy whatever you want to eat. You don't have to save money. The little girl has to gain weight to look good."
Xu Xiaona listened to their earnest instructions and nodded repeatedly, promising that she would eat more and not save any money. Although Xu Xiangqian couldn't say anything, he looked at Xu Xiaona with very concerned eyes. Only Ji Lan, her expression became stiff as she listened to them talking endlessly. There were ten eggs in this one, and I don’t know how much money was stuffed into them. Didn’t Xu Xiangqian earn all these? It was so easy for them to use other people's things to be good people, but Xu Xiangqian let others take advantage of them. She was really angry!
Xu Xiangdong glanced at Ji Lan's expression and drank sugar water leisurely. When Liu Shuying finally said enough, everyone went back to their respective sides to have a good rest. The next day, Xu Xiangdong put Xu Xiaona on the bus and hurried back to work on the back hillside with a bamboo basket and a sickle on his back.
The hillside is very wide, and the few pigweed hunters are quite far away. Occasionally, acquaintances chat and work together, but except for Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan, the others are all children in their early ten years.
Xu Xiangdong greeted with a smile, "Comrade educated youth, are you busy? Are you comfortable at our educated youth site?"
Su Yuanyuan glanced at him speechlessly, "Comrade Xu Xiangdong, I have adapted to it a long time ago." She glanced behind him, "Are you... here to kill pigs?"
Xu Xiangdong nodded and said naturally: "I don't know how to farm, so this is a good job. Oh, by the way, I have never done this before. If you want Comrade Ignorant Youth, please teach me. Good comrades should help each other, you say Right?"
The children nearby looked here and walked away unconsciously. Such an adult can't even weed pigs. I heard he's still a second-rate guy, so you should stay away from him.
Su Yuanyuan smiled and picked up the sickle and began to teach Xu Xiangdong how to work hard.
"Your gesture is wrong. It won't work if you hold it too loosely, or too tight."
"The direction of raking the grass is wrong. You have to row your legs like this."
"Bend down, bend again..."
"No, no...it's not right yet..."
Xu Xiangdong listened to her endless "wrong" and "wrong" all morning. Even if he did the right thing, it was still "wrong." This little vixen is really petty. If he had known better, he would not have teased her.
After finally filling the bamboo basket, Xu Xiangdong's face was red from the sun, he was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were soaked. On the other hand, the little fox was refreshed and still smiling white and tenderly beside him. Xu Xiangdong took off his clothes and used them as a towel to wipe them, and said helplessly: "Are you satisfied now? How can I have a wife like you? You don't even know that you feel sorry for me."
Su Yuanyuan put on a pretty face and said seriously: "Comrade Xu Xiangdong, if you continue to talk nonsense, I will sue you for being a hooligan! We are just good comrades who help each other, and we have only just met."
"Okay, okay, we just met. To thank Comrade Educated Youth for teaching me how to beat pigweed, I'll give you an egg."
Xu Xiangdong took out a boiled egg as if by magic, stuffed it into Su Yuanyuan's hand, picked up the baskets of pigweed on both sides and walked back slowly, "The pigweed is exposed to the wind and sun, and it's very dirty. I've seen it for a while. Let’s look around for another clerical job, scorekeeper or accountant, they’re all good, what do you think?”
Su Yuanyuan nodded while eating the eggs, "It's good, but this kind of work shouldn't be done by educated youths. Haven't you seen so many educated youths working hard to earn work points?"
Xu Xiangdong smiled. Of course it wouldn't work for educated youth, but if you marry into the Xu family, wouldn't you be a member of the village? The two of them were passing by the field. Someone looked at the two bamboo baskets of pigweed in surprise and asked, "Did you do this, Dongzi? Did you finish it so early?"
Xu Xiangdong nodded and replied enthusiastically: "Thanks to the educated youth comrades for teaching me. The people from the city taught me everything. I understood it as soon as I heard it."
Everyone who heard it secretly complained that hunting pigweed was a child's job. Is there anything to be proud of after learning? But considering this is Xu Xiangdong, it's normal. The second-rate son of the Xu family started working, which made many people talk about it for fun, joking and betting that he would not last three days. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangdong went to work early every day, neither slacking off nor cheating, nor wandering around after work. Hanging around, he actually seems quite honest and diligent.
But the more this happens, the more abnormal it is. When has this kid ever been so honest? Isn't it bad to hold it back?
After everyone paid attention for a few days, several young wives figured it out, "Xu Xiangdong always seems to be getting closer to Su Yuanyuan. Could it be that he has a crush on Su Yuanyuan?"
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Su Yuanyuan was the most eye-catching girl in this village. She had such a tender face that she could squeeze out tears, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be able to seduce people. She also had two braided braids and clothes that did not show off her waist. Su Yuanyuan's clothes are the only ones that look beautiful at first sight! There were countless men in the village staring at her. If Su Yuanyuan hadn't gone back to the educated youth spot every day after shooting pigweed, and didn't give others a chance, maybe everyone would have gone to show their courtesy.
The youngest son of the Xu family is already handsome. He usually never looks at the girls in the village. Now that he meets a more handsome girl, he must have fallen in love with him. Otherwise, who has the ability to tell a second-rate girl to be honest? live?
After everyone guessed it, they talked a lot, and most of them laughed that they were a perfect match. Ji Lan often murmured, Xu Xiangdong was ignorant and incompetent, and Su Yuanyuan was squeamish and couldn't work. How could these two people live together and starve to death? What's the use of being handsome? It can't be eaten as food.
But after she finished laughing, she thought, this is wrong!
If Xu Xiangdong marries Su Yuanyuan home, wouldn't she and Xu Xiangqian have to raise another breadwinner? From now on, there are three people in the family waiting to be taken care of. Although my mother-in-law is capable, she still has to be taken care of in her old age. What is this? No, we must not let Su Yuanyuan in. Xu Xiangdong is already like this. If he wants to marry, he can only marry someone who works hard and dare not be lazy!
Ji Lan made up her mind and hurried home to test Liu Shuying, "Mom, when Dongzi first came back, didn't you say you wanted to find a wife for him? Are you ready?"
Liu Shuying looked at her in surprise, "Why do you remember this? I get worried when I talk about this. I asked a few people, but at first glance I felt that I was not worthy of Dongzi. Our Dongzi is so handsome, The young man is like a city man, he has to choose a good one, and he can't wrong me."
Ji Lan choked back many of her words. Wasn't anyone else good enough for Xu Xiangdong? I'm afraid you're not joking! As far as Xu Xiangdong's virtue is concerned, if someone is willing to follow him, he should be secretly happy, and he dares to pick, his vision, and his sense of superiority are all due to having a good big brother!
Ji Lan lowered her head and curled her lips, picked a few beans, and said: "There are quite a lot of good girls in our village, but mom, don't blame me for speaking badly. Dongzi only earns 5 work points a day now. Those who want to marry girls People are also worried about the girl’s well-being, aren’t they? How about I go find my dad to find a job for Dongzi and let him behave, then it will be easy to say goodbye.”
"What? Do you mean that others despise Dongzi? Did others say something to you? Did you scold you back? Why do you say that you, a sister-in-law, look down on your brother-in-law? Even if Dongzi is useless, doesn't that matter? What about me? We, the old Xu family, are well-off. If we reject anyone who refuses to marry, why should I beg them?" Liu Shuying, who had never chosen a lovely daughter-in-law, immediately became angry when she heard that others disliked her precious son. Exploded. She knew how capable her son was. If it weren't for the black market and whatnot, she would have used a loudspeaker to spread the word throughout the village.
The frustration of not being able to share good things with others made Liu Shuying lose interest in talking. She picked up a pot of beans and entered the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Ji Lan also came over. She stood there and said, "Mom, don't be angry. I didn't mean it like that. I just want Dongzi to find a good girl. He is so old, it is better to work hard in the fields than with a child." We are better than pigs and grasses.”
Liu Shuying frowned and looked at her, "Huh? What's going on with you today? What do you want to say after you've been beating around the bush for so long? Do you think Dongzi earns less work points? You and Qiangzi The work points are all in your own hands, and I don’t want any of them. How much work points does Dongzi earn have to do with you?”
Ji Lan blushed and waved her hands hastily, "Mom, you misunderstood. How could I think that way? Then who have I become?"
"Then what are you doing? If you have something to say, get out of the way. Don't delay my cooking." When Liu Shuying is angry, she doesn't give anyone face at all, let alone someone she has never liked.
Ji Lan bit her lip, scolding her half to death in her heart, but she still said bravely: "Mom, have you heard any rumors these days? They all said that Dongzi went to hunt pigweed all day long because he was attracted to her. Educated youth Su Yuanyuan.”
"What?" Liu Shuying raised her head in surprise, her eyes widened, "Dongzi fell in love with Yuanyuan? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
"Maybe they are afraid of saying it's not good in front of you, so they go behind your back."
Liu Shuying frowned thoughtfully, picked up a rag and wiped the water droplets on her hands. After a while, she suddenly smiled, "Oh, this is a great thing! Why are you doing this behind my back? I want to If I had known, I would have proposed marriage. No, I have to ask them both. It would be great if it could happen. "
Liu Shuying walked out in a hurry and didn't even hear Ji Lan calling her. Ji Lan stood at the entrance of the courtyard with a gloomy face, thought for a moment, and walked quickly in one direction. Judging from Liu Shuying's appearance, she definitely wants Su Yuanyuan to come in. With Liu Shuying's attitude towards Su Yuanyuan like her own daughter, will she still have a place in this family in the future? I have to find a way to come up with something.
