Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

It was really cold in the Northeast, the roads were covered with snow, the fields were white as far as the eye could see, and the icicles under the eaves of the houses in each village were as long as 30 centimeters, hanging upside down like spikes.

It was cold and dry, and Li Jiandang was wearing a newly bought cotton-padded jacket. In the south, they only needed to wear a coat, so they had to put on the cotton-padded jacket after getting off the train.

The four men were carrying two or three snakeskin bags filled with things they had bought from the south.

Hong Bing's face was filled with excitement. "I wonder if my brat has forgotten me? Has he made any progress in his studies?"

Li Jiandang laughed, "You keep repeating it every day, and you don't find it annoying!"

"Of course you're not annoyed. Your three children have such good grades. You don't have to worry about them. My wife can't control that brat at all."

The captain's son was younger than them, his child was only four years old, not yet of school age, and could not understand their pain. He just wanted to go home and hug his wife, and his steps were fast.

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

Li Jiandang took his son back home.

Xu Chunying was not at home at the moment, she was checking the accounts at Zhang Xiuhua's house.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, we must take stock of the chicken farm’s accounts so that the members can have a better idea of ​​the situation.

The number of eggs collected each day varied. Zhang Xiuhua kept a very detailed account. She had to ask Xu Chunying to help her calculate once, and then she could ask the brigade accountant to help.

Xu Chunying is not good at math and is very slow at calculating.

Just then, Hongwen called her from outside, "Mom! Dad and big brother are back, you should go home quickly!"

When Xu Chunying heard this, she dropped her pen and ran away, "Let Jidong do the math for you. I'm going home first."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little curious about her uncle's experience working in the south, so she packed her things and went to her sister-in-law's house.

When she arrived, several families from the village also came. But this year, there were far fewer people than last year. They probably went to the team leader's house or the team accountant's house.

Li Jiandang is still in high spirits when he returned this year.

When the members asked him whether he had made any money, Li Jiandang did not hide anything and told the truth.

He was not afraid of the members' jealousy, because he was working, not doing business. As long as the members were willing to leave their hometown, they could also earn this much money.

Hearing that he brought back more than 2,000 yuan this time, the members could no longer sit still.

The chicken farm didn't make any money this year. The work points were still as low as last year, and the members were panicking because they had no money. When they heard that Li Jiandang had made money, someone immediately said, "Jiandang, I'll go with you next year."

Li Jiandang said the same thing: they can go and live together. But he won't help them find jobs. It's up to them to do it themselves.

Before, everyone was unwilling to take risks, but seeing that Li Jiandang's life was getting better and better, and his three children were all promising, if they didn't work harder, they would never be able to catch up even if they flattered? !

The man who just spoke said, "Don't worry, as long as you give us some advice, I will find a job myself! If I can't find one, I will just go to the south for fun."

Northeastern people are generous and open-minded because they have a lot of land and their life is better than in the south.

The fare to Pengcheng is not cheap. But so what? They can afford it!

The person who spoke out was not the only one who did so. Some people, after careful consideration, also decided to go out and try their luck.

Zhang’s parents and biological brother are also among them.

When she learned that Li Jiandang had returned, she rushed out immediately.

Her parents were afraid that she would elope with someone, so they chased after her. Then they listened to the whole thing.

After listening to the show at Li’s house, the younger brother returned home and told his parents that he wanted to go to the south to try his luck.

When Zhang's father heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "You wish! Where can I find you?!"

"I will go to the south to work and give you half of my earnings. Isn't that more than the one hundred yuan dowry? Li Jiandang can earn two thousand yuan. I'm not as capable as him, but I can always earn one thousand, right? Think about it carefully, which is more, five hundred or one hundred?" Shengdi had already come up with this idea.

She didn't mention it last year because she knew her parents wouldn't let her leave. And the villagers were also waiting and watching, fearing that she wouldn't be able to find a job in the south. But this year is different.

The two people who went to work with Li Jiandang both found jobs and earned money. Her parents were also tempted.

In fact, she was right. Zhang's father and mother were really moved.

Five hundred is five times more than one hundred! If we consider it from the perspective of benefit, it is indeed more cost-effective to let the daughter go to the south. But they know that they are not good to their daughters, especially with the precedent of the first two girls, they are afraid that the third girl will also run away. By then, there will not even be a hundred left.

"If I wanted to run away, I would have run away long ago. Why wait until now?! The reason I didn't run away is because I want to make money. Money is the only reliable thing in this world!" Shengdi glanced at them indifferently, as if to let them choose.

At night, Zhang's father and mother discussed the matter in bed.

"Old man, do you think the idea of ​​having a younger brother is feasible?"

"This girl has always had her own ideas. She dared to ruin the engagement. There is nothing she can't do." Zhang's father tossed and turned, thinking that his younger brother's words were unpleasant to hear, but there was some truth to them. The most important thing was that no one in the neighborhood dared to marry her.

He still has two girls, Lao Wu and Lao Liu. Even if his biological brother really runs away with someone, he will only lose one. If it really works, he can get 500. It's still profitable to think about it.

When Zhang's mother heard her husband say this, she knew he agreed, but she was still dissatisfied, "This girl is really cruel. She only gave us 500 out of 1,000."

"If she says she'll give me 1,000 for every 1,000 I make, I can't believe her. She only cares about herself. She would never do anything that's not good for herself!" Zhang's father said calmly.

Zhang's mother thought about it and realized that it was true. "They are all debt collectors! They don't even think about how hard it was for us to raise them. If they were born as girls in our hometown, they would have been strangled to death. We raised them with good food and drink, but they are never satisfied! They only know how to run away. They are really ungrateful!"

She cursed and swore, and Zhang's father listened in silence, obviously agreeing with her.

The younger brother, who was eavesdropping at the window outside the house, felt relieved when he heard that they agreed.

The return of Li Jiandang and his two migrant workers created a wave in the village.

When we meet, we ask, “What are you going to do next year?”

Aunt Wang came to Zhang Xiuhua because her husband was also planning to go to the south to work next year, but she was worried. After all, the people who went there were all strong laborers, and her husband was over 50 years old. What if something happened to him if he did heavy physical work?

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "The only job in the world that can earn more work points than working in the fields is on the construction site. Can't you just tell him not to look for such heavy work? Oh, by the way, he can be a security guard!"

Aunt Wang was puzzled, "What is a security guard?"

"It's the gatekeeper. Usually they recruit older men, and the salary may be lower."

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, "It's okay if it's lower. It's better than farming. To be honest, seeing them earn 2,000 yuan a year, I'm jealous! You and I work so hard all year round and don't even make 100 yuan. It's ten times the difference! If the team hadn't issued so many letters of introduction, I would definitely go with them."

The team was afraid that all the strong laborers would run away, so they only issued one letter of introduction to each household.

Jidong came over to give Zhang Xiuhua the account book. Aunt Wang's eyes lit up, "Have you finished the inventory?"

Zhang Xiuhua looked through the numbers and found that the total she calculated was consistent with Jidong's. She stood up and said, "Yes! I'm going to find the brigade accountant and ask him to calculate it again."
