As soon as she said this, Xu Chunying stopped counting the money, put the money in her pocket and looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Why don't you plan to raise her anymore? Do you want to go out and work too?!"

Her words were not groundless. Because Li Jianguo had a formal job, he would definitely not resign. The only person who went out to work was Xiuhua.

Xiuhua only makes 30 yuan a month raising chickens at home. That's only over 300 yuan a year. But it's different when she goes to the south to work. There are more female workers than male workers. It's still easy for her to find a job.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No! I just don't want to raise chickens anymore. It's too tiring. I have to stay at home every day and can't go anywhere! I plan to go out again next year."

Xu Chunying thought: You didn't miss out on going out even when you were raising chickens. Didn't she help take care of Ergou when he went to the capital for medical treatment? !

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiuhua might be planning to go back to her hometown. Indeed, after being married for seven or eight years, Xiuhua has never been back to her parents' home once. It is indeed time to go back and take a look! She just kept silent.

Zhang Xiuhua said she would give up the chicken farm quota, but it was a lucrative job for the members.

Thirty dollars a month, three hundred and sixty dollars a year, no need to go out to work, you can do it at home. It is definitely the best choice for rural women.

The brigade accountant said that any member who knows how to raise chickens can come and sign up.

But this sentence is just nonsense.

How many rural people don't know how to raise chickens! Even if she raises laying hens, the feed ratio is different from that of domestic chickens. But the feeding method is always the same. It's just that the feed is different.

To get these two positions, women from all over the village were going crazy. Even the strong laborers wanted to grab the job.

The threshold of the brigade accountant was almost crushed.

The brigade accountant had no choice but to tell everyone that anyone who was interested could sign up and learn from Zhang Xiuhua in the spring. Whoever learned the fastest would get a place.

No one would think of themselves as stupid, and everyone can raise chickens.

So the next day, Zhang Xiuhua found that the villagers began to give gifts to her family.

The gifts were not expensive, but vegetables and fruits grown by the villagers.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't dare to accept the gift, she just said, "We'll see how everyone performs next year. Everyone has a share in this chicken farm. If someone can't learn, but I accept the gift because it's a lot, that would be a disservice to everyone. Just rest assured, I will definitely choose the most meticulous person."

Her words finally persuaded the members.

The Chinese New Year came in a blink of an eye. Li Jianguo finally returned home. He also brought the airplane model that Jilin had been longing for, as well as Zhang Xiuhua's Russian learning books and radio.

Of course he also brought some food, such as imported chocolate from the Friendship Store.

The kids fell in love with it as soon as they tasted it, but it was too expensive and they bought so little that each of them could only get one piece.

In order to save food, the children only dared to take small bites.

While the children were eating, Li Jianguo told Zhang Xiuhua something, "I heard there will be a Spring Festival Gala this year."

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. Spring Festival Gala? So the first Spring Festival Gala is this year?!

At this time in her previous life, she had already gone out to work and had to work overtime during the New Year, so she didn't really notice which year the Spring Festival Gala started.

She smiled and said, "Then we can watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Okay! Let's move the TV to the big house later."

The big room is where the boys sleep. The room is relatively large, and the kang is also large, so it can accommodate more people.

Zhang Xiuhua and Youcai took care of the food, and all the children were also recruited to help. No one was waiting to eat for free.

Li Jianguo was in charge of kneading the dough, Yaoyao was in charge of rolling the dough, Zhang Xiuhua and Baolin were in charge of making dumplings, Zhuzhu was in charge of selecting vegetables, Jidong was in charge of washing and cutting vegetables, Jilin was in charge of lighting the fire, and Youcai was in charge of cooking.

The family was busy from morning to night, and finally it was New Year's Eve.

The whole family sat around the table on the kang, watching the programs on TV.

"The Spring Festival Gala has officially begun!"

When the host came out, Zhang Xiuhua was shocked. Because the Spring Festival Gala she watched later was not so shabby. No! It was not shabby, but lively. This Spring Festival Gala was like an annual meeting held by a company. Everyone laughed and talked casually.

The program list is even more random, as if it was written on the spur of the moment.

"Oh, it turns out I could place orders by phone. It's a pity we don't have a phone at home." Jidong slapped the table, his words full of regret.

"It's okay. Just watch it the same!"

It would be fine if they just sang, but they even asked riddles.

Liu Xiaoqing is a popular movie star. She is responsible for setting the puzzle. "From top to bottom, unity is universal. Guess a word!"

The children were all memorizing her riddles, and after they finished the riddles, they began a crosstalk performance. Some of the children were already attracted by the new program, while others were still frowning and thinking hard.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jianguo to open the door. She was afraid of the cold, but she couldn't stand the cold.

Li Jianguo had no choice but to go open the door, and then brought back a group of people to watch the show.

It turned out that some of the children at home were very talkative and said that there would be a Spring Festival Gala this year and asked them to come and watch the show. These people really came with their families to watch it.

The adults laughed awkwardly, "Coming to watch the show on New Year's Eve is a bit..."

Li Jianguo brought a stool for them, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Come sit down and watch! We're playing crosstalk. It's really interesting!"

At the beginning, only two families came, and they were able to provide tables, chairs and benches, but those who came later had to go home and get chairs.

After that, there was no room for more people to come in. They could only stand on the side and watch. Then... there was no room to stand, so they could only go home disappointed.

When the children didn't like to watch Peking Opera, Baolin would pull Jidong's arm and say, "Brother Jidong, what is the riddle? Have you guessed it?"

Jidong looked at the others, "What about you guys?"

Youcai had already forgotten the riddle, and was still a little confused when he was asked. Baolin repeated the riddle, and he thought about it for a while and shook his head and said he didn't know.

The other children hadn't forgotten it, but they couldn't figure it out.

Others watching TV also tried to think of a solution, but no one could come up with one.

Finally, Jidong revealed the answer, "It's '座'!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Zhang Xiuhua signaled them to stop talking, and the show began again. "Wow, even the giant pandas are performing." This is a big deal.

"Oh! Li Guyi is out again. She seems to have sung a lot of songs!"

Someone grumbled.

"Someone called to request songs. They all love to listen to her singing!" Li Jianguo explained.

Everyone exclaimed in envy. If they had a phone, they would also like to call to request songs and wish the audience a happy new year.

The last show of the year was not "Unforgettable Tonight" but a magic show.

The program was well-organized and full of laughs. Everyone laughed continuously while watching it.

After watching the show and announcing the time, 1983 arrived and everyone stood up and left.

The children's eyes were still bright and no one was sleepy.

Li Jianguo put away the food, turned off the TV, and urged the children to go to bed.

The next morning, when it was bright and Zhang Xiuhua was still asleep, someone knocked on her door. They probably heard that there was a Spring Festival Gala last night, but they didn't watch it, so they wanted to watch the replay.

Li Jianguo got up early, as his work and rest schedule in the army had not changed. However, Zhang Xiuhua was too sleepy to get up at all.

Li Jianguo told them to come back later as the children were still sleeping.

The members had no choice but to leave.
