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

Zhang Xiuhua rode her bicycle all the way back to the village, returned the bicycle first, and then went directly to the threshing ground for a meeting.

The team leader was indeed assigning farm work. Zhang Xiuhua and the other two were scorers. It was an easy job, which was to supervise the members' work, see if they were doing their work seriously, and then give them scores.

After the meeting, I went home to eat and started working in the afternoon.

They returned home and the children went to school.

Zhang Xiuhua told the story that the tofu from Hongxin Commune had also been stolen.

Zhou Pandi was really shocked this time. "The tofu in Zhoujia Village is made by grinding. The Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative produces 50 kilograms a day, and the Red Heart Commune produces 80 kilograms a day. They also have to supply several surrounding villages. Can they handle it by grinding?!"

They use a grinding machine, which takes six hours a day. The grinding speed can grind three kilograms per hour. It is far inferior to them.

"Did they also buy a crusher?" Li Xiaoying guessed.

Zhang Xiuhua told them not to guess and just ask Li Jianxin directly.

So she ran to Li Jianxin to ask.

Li Jianxin shook his head, "No. Zhoujia Village only has a stone mill. The tofu in their village is very fake. They say it's old tofu, but it's actually all tender tofu. It's not real."

After asking about the situation, Zhang Xiuhua went straight home.

She told Zhou Pandi about the situation, and she was delighted. "I was thinking that when the weather gets colder, we can sell tofu again and then go to the general manager to discuss cooperation. We will have to give him some benefits. Now it seems that it is totally unnecessary."

She sneered, "These people must have spent a lot of money to get the general manager to sell their tofu instead. But they can't make that much, and they're taking our business away. If they send all the tofu to the supply and marketing cooperative, they won't be able to run the villagers' business. So where do they get the soybeans for making tofu?"

Li Xiaoying also laughed, "I guess they only want to grab business and never thought about their limited production."

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it carefully and it was true. Their tofu was all bought from the villagers in the countryside. The soybeans they got in exchange every day were almost equal to the tofu. These people only spent money and never earned anything, so the soybeans at home would run out sooner or later.

She found a man in the commune to help sell tofu. "He is also engaged in speculation. He has a wife at home to support. He will not sell us out. I will pay him 30 yuan."

Zhou Pandi couldn't help but admire Daming, "Aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

Zhang Xiuhua told him about her experience in the black market yesterday, "Don't worry, they are still counting on us to make a fortune."

Zhou Pandi was indeed relieved. "Okay then. Take me to identify the person tomorrow, and I will deliver the tofu from now on."

There is no need to take a detour to get to Hongxin Commune.

After chatting about these things and finishing their meal, Zhang Xiuhua sent her three children to her eldest brother's house and asked her mother-in-law to look after them, and then went to the fields to supervise the team members' work.

She was strolling around the field. She was in the same group with Li Jianxin, but she looked left and right and didn't see anyone.

Just when I was wondering, An Rou came over, holding her belly, with a notebook in her hand.

Zhang Xiuhua walked over and asked, "Why are you in the field with such a big belly?"

An Rou looked depressed. "The two kids are so troublesome. Jianxin asked me to be the scorekeeper while he went to work in the fields. It's not easy to support a family."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't expect Li Jianxin to give up such a good job. She couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "He must be tired after selling tofu?"

"Selling tofu is not that hard. The work is not hard. Just shout a few times and the villagers will come over." An Rou held her stomach, "The work in the fields is not easy."

This is true. Now in the spring, all members have to plow the land. The team has only one hand tractor, which can only plow six to eight acres of land every day.

It is not realistic to rely entirely on hand tractors, it still has to be done manually.

Digging the ground manually is quite hard work. You have to use a rake with teeth and use a lot of force.

Capable people will be given high salaries, while incompetent people will have their scores reduced appropriately.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "When we have money in the future, the team will buy another walk-behind tractor, and our team will be able to relax a little more."

An Rou nodded and took out the notebook to score the team members.

After work, Zhang Xiuhua handed the notebook to Li Jianshe and took the three little kids home.

When she got home, the children came back too.

They were chattering in the kitchen, washing vegetables, cooking, and talking about school.

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-May, when all the crops in the field were finally planted: wheat, corn, soybeans, rice, sweet potatoes, and so on.

Zhang Xiuhua also planted sweet potatoes in her own plot. These sweet potatoes were the sweet potatoes from her space. They looked a bit similar to the sweet potatoes of this time. The only difference was that one had a red skin and white flesh, while the other had a red skin and yellow flesh. You couldn't tell them apart from the outside.

In addition, Zhang Xiuhua also planted three trees, namely, a conker tree, a jujube tree and a mountain red.

The reason why pear trees are not planted is because pear blossoms are white, which is unlucky.

She was reborn, so she paid special attention to these things.

The fruit tree she bought is three years old and will bear fruit this year. Zhang Xiuhua cut off all the extra branches and followed the practice of more than ten years later, keeping the saplings as short as possible so as not to affect the plants under the tree.

If the branches are allowed to grow, they will soon grow into towering trees and vegetables will not be able to be grown beneath them.

**

Zhang Xiuhua hadn't been able to get to the commune that day, so she borrowed a bicycle from the team leader and went to the commune after finishing her farm work.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Song Lianhua was not unhappy this time and sent him out with a smile.

She went directly to Zhou Boda's house. Bai Su came to open the door. After two months of not seeing each other, her complexion was much better, and she was even a little flushed. She could even come to open the door for her.

"Are you okay?"

Bai Su smiled and nodded, "I've been eating well these days and I feel much better. We have to get on with life!"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "That's good!"

"He went out for something. Please wait a moment." Bai Su poured her some tea. Zhang Xiuhua told her to just go ahead if she had something to do and there was no need to entertain her specially.

Bai Su was making clothes in the main room. There was no sewing machine at home, so she sewed by hand, which was much slower.

But looking at Zhang Xiuhua's stitches, they are so delicate, she must have learned it before.

As they were talking, someone pushed the door open. The two were startled and looked over. The person was none other than Zhou Boda. But what happened to his face?

Bai Su was startled, and quickly put down the needlework in her hands and rushed out, "Who beat you? Was it that gang?"

Zhou Boda shook his head, "Not them!"

Seeing Zhang Xiuhua, he sighed, "The commune's direction has changed again recently. The two shook hands and made peace."

Zhang Xiuhua asked uncertainly, "Are you talking about Fatty Wang and Xu Dongshan?"

The quarrel between these two men before caused chaos in the black market.

Zhou Boda nodded, "Yes! I don't know what Xu Dongshan did. The two of them had dinner together in a state-owned restaurant, and then Fatty Wang stopped interfering in the black market. But Xu Dongshan tripled the entrance fee."

Zhang Xiuhua frowned. Three times? Only 30 cents per time! This is really expensive.

But she was soon relieved. "The black market entrance fee has tripled, so it's a bit more expensive. But it's safer, and it's good for us too. This way, the patrols won't come here to buy things for no reason. How about this, I'll pay the entrance fee."

Zhou Boda wanted to refuse, but he was short of money and ultimately did not say anything.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Zhou Boda smiled bitterly, "They not only collect entry fees but also protection fees. Xu Dongshan has contracted the entire old city area. I had no money, so he ordered his men to beat me up!"

Bai Su was so angry that he was shaking all over. "This is absolutely lawless! Let's call the police!"

Zhou Boda sighed, "With our status, how could they possibly support us!"

Having known each other for such a long time, Zhang Xiuhua also knew the identities of Zhou Boda and Bai Su. Although they were not capitalist-roaders, they were disciples of Chou Lao Jiu.

If they dare to make trouble, those people will dare to send them to the farm for reform, so they can only accept being bullied. Most people in this area of ​​the old city are like this.

Zhang Xiuhua thought that this year was over and couldn't help but feel happy for them. "Forget it. Just give them the money. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. These people are so arrogant, they will eventually get their comeuppance. Their glory won't last long."

Zhou Boda nodded. Fortunately, Su Su is now well and doesn't need to take medicine anymore. But when will this hard time end?
