Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Materials are scarce these days, and the only reason to have money is to buy delicious food, so the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative do not want to sell meat for money.

Most of them have already bought bicycles, sweaters, cotton-padded clothes, etc., and some even have sewing machines and watches. Naturally, they don't want to make such a small amount of money anymore. It is better to take the meat back and eat it as a family.

Xia Mingshuang had already taught the fat aunt, so she started to do the beatings. Most of the work was done by the fat aunt, but in the end, the fat aunt wanted to give the big credit to her, so that Director Gao and Deputy Director Li would give her an extra piece of pig head meat. and braised pork sausage.

Xia Mingshuang was not polite. She did not charge tuition for teaching the fat aunt this recipe. Moreover, the fat aunt is now secretly going to the county to make braised pork sausages for others. She also secretly buys sausages from the slaughtering group and braises them herself, and then takes them to the county. For sale.

She wasn't jealous, and of course the fat aunt didn't hide it from her. She always brought her something delicious or useful.

Xia Mingshuang felt that Fat Auntie was a person who repaid her kindness and had plans and actions, which was better than most people. After re-opening, the business would definitely grow.

Comparatively speaking, Wang Jinling's situation is a bit worse than Fat Aunt's. It's not that Wang Jinling is ungrateful. She is also very grateful to Xia Mingshuang for teaching her how to make snacks. She serves tea and water every day and rushes to do chores. She regards Xia Mingshuang as her master. .

But this person is not very motivated. After she can make cakes and biscuits, she doesn't want to make progress. She doesn't want to learn more. She always feels that this is enough for her.

She also taught Xia Mingshuang, "Sister Mingshuang, don't do too many things. If you do three things, the leader will let you do three things. If you can do ten things, then the leader will want you to do ten things. Every day How tiring it is to do so much, right?”

She felt that if she could do two things, keep her job, pay for her monthly expenses, and not be tired, that would be a good iron rice bowl.

Xia Mingshuang didn't have to give her this understanding. Everyone has their own pursuits and must respect the diversity of species.

Besides, Wang Jinling’s thinking is now the mainstream, and most people adhere to this understanding.

It’s Chinese New Year in a blink of an eye, and the most delicious meal this year is dumplings.

The production team divided the meat, and with some thin noodles, they could make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat to feed the whole family.

Many families in the village do not have fine flour. After all, the wheat is harvested in May. Most of the wheat distributed at that time is replaced by coarse grains to eat until the autumn grains are available. Those with better conditions will save some for making dumplings during the New Year and festivals, but most families do not. That condition remains.

At this time, you have to go to the production team to exchange wheat, and then grind it, but the production team does not have that much wheat to exchange. If you can switch to one, two or even ten homes, how can you afford dozens of homes? Finally, if we average it out, there is no need to count the heads. Each family will be given one and a half kilograms of wheat.

How much flour can a pound and a half of wheat make? It’s not enough to eat. Who doesn’t have a family of at least five or six people?

Someone came to Xia Mingshuang's house to borrow white flour. They planned that Gu Yunshan would eat in the city and get food stamps directly in exchange for flour. Xia Mingshuang now worked in a supply and marketing cooperative and could also get flour from home. If her family can’t finish the food themselves, shouldn’t it be appropriate to lend them a few kilograms?

The first person to come to the door was Xingfu Niang, who wanted to borrow a five-ten-pound dumpling, but Xia Mingshuang only lent her two pounds, which, together with what the production team gave her, was enough for a big meal of dumplings. She gave her the thickest noodles in the house, not because she was stingy, but because the villagers grinded wheat with wheat, and the noodles they sifted out were thicker than this. If she gave them to Fuqiang powder and Jianshe powder, it would be a huge loss.

One hundred pounds of wheat produces 80 pounds and 90 pounds of flour. The difference is huge.

Xingfu's mother was very happy and thanked her profusely. Thanks to Xingfu and Da Zhuang being in the same class, Xia Mingshuang gave her face. She promised to pay back the wheat she shared next year.

Gu Heping also came to borrow a pound. The unit where he worked as a temporary worker gave him a pound. In addition, what the production team gave him was not enough to feed the family, so he and Xia Mingshuang borrowed another pound.

Xia Mingshuang lent it to him without saying a word. These people would definitely pay it back. Those in the village who borrowed it but refused to repay it also knew the virtues. Xia Mingshuang made excuses to push it away.

Aunt Guixiang specially exchanged eggs with Xia Mingshuang for two kilograms of construction powder. She was reluctant to exchange for Fuqiang powder. Construction powder was also very good.

Zhao Juying didn't need to change. The county cadres came to express condolences and brought her ten pounds of flour. She also gave two pounds to Xia Mingshuang, but Xia Mingshuang naturally refused to take it.

Gu Liangshan came over and borrowed three kilograms of construction powder. He also paid back the money Zhao Peihong borrowed to give birth to his child. "Sister-in-law, the money for the bicycle will be paid back next year."

You can still make some money by working until spring plowing.

Xia Mingshuang told him not to worry, "You have just separated, so don't be in a hurry to pay it back. Keep your wife and children close to you first."

Gu Liangshan: "Sister-in-law, take it. If you don't pay back the money and borrow flour, Honghong won't be able to eat well. The temporary job you and your elder brother found for me is very good. I can make more money than going to the brigade to make mats. Don't worry. Well, I know it well and I won’t wrong the two of them."

Zhao Peihong said that they don't have it now, and they can actually live in poverty. But since the conditions of the sister-in-law's family are good, lending them some will not affect their lives, so they will borrow some and pay them back when they have it. Zhao Peihong also calculated very clearly that Gu Liangshan was strong and worked a lot, so he could earn full work points in the production team. In the past, he was dragged down regardless of the family. Now that the eldest brother of the family has introduced temporary workers, he can earn more. .

Gu Liangshan is skillful and willing to learn, and he can also endure hardships. He learned to weave mats and frames from Old Man Gu, and he has been busy in the production team during the winter.

The materials for a mat are from the production team. After the mat is made, members will be given a craft fee ranging from RMB [-] to RMB [-]. Gu Liangshan is good at his craftsmanship, so he can get RMB [-] every time.

But making mats is not that fast after all, and the materials are limited, and there are many people making mats. Each person can only make two or three mats in one winter, so how much money does it cost?

It's different now that he's working as a temporary worker, it's so beautiful!

Xia Mingshuang knew that Zhao Peihong had a strong self-esteem, and even if she borrowed something, she had to pay it back, otherwise she would not feel at ease, so she would accept it.

Xia Mingshuang asked Gu Liangshan to bring a pound of thin noodles to his parents-in-law, as a token of their filial piety. In the past, the three girls had to come back before the Chinese New Year to give New Year's gifts to their parents' families. In fact, there was nothing good. Every household did not have fine noodles. The eldest sister and the third sister could only give a few kilograms of coarse grains, one yuan, and Gu Yanni gave five yuan. , and give half a pound of sugar and snacks.

The third sister got divorced this year, so she only had a small amount of rations in hand. She didn't set up another household. The household registration was with Gu Yunshan's family. Naturally, the production team would not distribute wheat to her alone.

Xia Mingshuang decided not to let her send food and money to her parents like she did in previous years, and wait until she earns work points next year.

Of course, Third Sister Gu also has money now, more than when she was at Zhan's house.

She helped Xia Mingshuang make jam, knit sweaters, and make hairpins and hairpins. Because the cost and materials were all paid by Xia Mingshuang and she only contributed, so she didn't agree with Xia Mingshuang's [-] or [-] points and had to knit sweaters and hairpins. She thought it was too easy to make jam, so she only wanted [-]%.

Xia Mingshuang couldn't resist her, so he let her go. Anyway, she and the third sister could get along. As long as the third sister didn't marry, they would always be a family.

Even so, the third sister and Miaomiao counted and found that she actually had eight dollars and thirty cents!

She has never received so much money in her life!
