This period of time in the village is a busy time for farming. Every household goes out early and comes back late, and they are all busy earning more centimeters.

The two daughters-in-law of the Su family originally did not work in the fields, so they went to the village to get some hemp rope and rubbed it at home, earning some work points.

Anyway, the Su family doesn't live on centimeters. Just a few men in the family work in the fields. If they weren't afraid of attracting too much attention, they wouldn't even do the work of twisting hemp rope.

Some time ago, the captain of the village came to the door and wanted the Su family's sister-in-law to help look after the children in the village.

This summer, the weather is hot, and there are many children in every household. The adults are working outside, and the children must be running around.

Some time ago, a few children from the next village sneaked into the river to play in the water. They fell into the water without noticing and were long gone by the time adults found out.

Their village was also worried about something like this happening, so they discussed whether to find some people to watch the children and prevent them from running to the river.

I held a meeting with the villagers and most of them agreed to do this.

Although there are many children in every household, and they are often beaten and scolded on weekdays, no one wants to see something happen to their children.

It was originally agreed that each family would take turns to see the children, but there were definitely not as many people working there as there were fewer people doing the work.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, someone would become unhappy.

"Captain, there are several people in this family waiting to eat and drink. If the centimeters are missing, the food will be missing."

"Yes, everyone works so hard just to earn a few more centimeters."

When it comes to food-related matters, some people are dissatisfied, especially those with few children.

This made the captain very angry, since the child didn't even have any food, right?

It doesn’t matter how others resist.

"That's what we agreed. Anyone who talks too much will be deducted." The angry captain put down his words and left.

Others said they were unhappy, but they didn't dare to say more.

As a result, after only a week of this, something happened again.

The four or five-year-old child was so preoccupied with playing that he ran to the river without paying attention and fell into the water.

Fortunately, I was discovered in time, and other than choking on a few mouthfuls of water, nothing serious happened.

The person who looked after the child that day was a gangster from the village. He was not active in work on weekdays and earned less work points than a woman.

The family saw that he didn't earn much, so they asked him to take care of the children while the others worked in the fields to earn more.

The man was so happy that he fell asleep under the tree and didn't care about the child at all.

Fearing that such a situation would happen again in the future, the captain had to think of another way. After much thinking, he thought of the two daughters-in-law of the Su family.

When they first heard that they were asked to see the children, their families did not agree.

The weather is so hot outside, and there are five children at home who need to be looked after. This job is still thankless. How can children be so easy to take care of?

But the captain really had no choice. He also saw that the Su family didn't care about centimeters, and his daughter-in-law was also more careful than some people in the village.

"You go back to your house and decide whether to go or not." Su's father knew clearly what the captain had planned.

They have been here all these years, and others have taken care of them so as not to be disturbed. Now if someone comes to beg you, it is not good for him to refuse, and let his daughter-in-law and son discuss it among themselves. If they don't want to, he won't force it.

Finally, Wang Xiujuan and her mother-in-law thought about it and agreed.

The captain helped the Su family live in the village without being disturbed by other people in the village.

Nowadays, people have a hard time opening their mouths. They can't really say no, and it doesn't sound nice to say it.

"Daughter-in-law, if anything happens, just call me." Su Jianguo was afraid that his daughter-in-law would be bullied, so he gave many instructions.

Wang Xiujuan is so funny, it makes her look like a young lady who never leaves the house. There is nothing to worry about.

Before getting married, Wang Xiujuan worked as a teacher in the village for a while. Although she did not work in the fields, she often interacted with people in the village.

That is to say, after getting married, she stayed at home every day, doing some housework and looking after the children.

Her brother and sister were originally worried that she would have a bad life after getting married, so they secretly stuffed her with a lot of private money the day before the wedding.

"If you are having a hard time, tell your family and we will take you back."

Unexpectedly, after getting married, her life would be better than before. She had gained a lot of weight and her skin had become much whiter and more tender.

Knowing that they agreed, the captain finally felt relieved.

"Why don't you agree to this? Isn't such an easy job free of charge?" His wife didn't know what he was so happy about.

If it weren't for a few centimeters, she would have done it.

The captain took a puff of his cigarette, and when he heard his wife's words, he tapped the edge of the table with his cigarette pole.

"What do you know? People stay at home well, and the Su family doesn't lack this. Why do they have to go out to bask in the sun and suffer."

"It's not good to have too much food." His wife muttered. Who wouldn't want to share more food when the end of the year comes?

The captain didn't speak and couldn't explain to this man. It was just a woman's opinion.

The Su family asks for leave from time to time, but you can see that their lives are still better than theirs, and the children in the family are better raised than the children in the village.

At first glance, he doesn't appear to be an ordinary person, except for the fact that he doesn't want to have more contact with the village.

"It doesn't take much effort. People from the village will bring the children over later. Just watch them and don't run to the water to play."

"You don't have to worry about anything else. Just watch and don't run into the river."

People in the village were coming over one after another with their children, and saw the captain and two people talking there.

"Captain, whose wife is this?" The gossip-loving mother-in-law began to inquire. These two little wives were a bit unfamiliar.

Wang Xiujuan was no stranger to these things. Everyone in the village was like this. She smiled at her and said without hesitation, "Hello, Auntie."

However, Xu Mei was a little uncomfortable with it. She had never met anyone in the village when she first came here, and she rarely went out, so she was very unfamiliar with these things.

Seeing my sister-in-law calling for someone, she also smiled slightly and said, "Hello, aunt."

"This is the wife of the Su family. I'm looking for someone to look after the child." The captain knew the temperament of this group of people.

He added, "Everyone has studied and is literate."

Sure enough, Xu Mei found that the eyes of these people changed immediately, and their attitudes became much better than before.

"Hey, you are a scholar." When she heard that she had read, the smile on the woman's face became more sincere.

The people gathered around to join in the fun also became much quieter.

No matter what time it is, everyone has an innate favorable impression of scholars. Who doesn’t hope that their children will learn more and read more books?

"Come, Erniu, learn from your aunt. Don't you want to learn how to read? If you don't know how, just ask."

The mother-in-law took her granddaughter in her hand and said, "Where's your brother? I'll call you back later. Don't run around in the hot weather. Learn more about other people's words."

"Call someone quickly."

"If you don't know it in the future, just ask if you know."

People with children around them all said this to their children, and those who didn't have children were looking for their children to come over.

Being able to read without having to pay tuition is such a huge advantage.
