The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 9 Eight Zero Best Sister-in-Law (9)

   But no matter how delicious bacon and bacon are, you will get tired of eating them for more than half a year. They are not as attractive as fresh pork!

   No, even though we didn’t have time to cook braised pork at night, the family ate an extra bowl of rice on this topic.

  Mother Xu, under the influence of her daughter's slapstick...

  Of course, it’s more because the eldest daughter-in-law made pants and clothes in her free time and earned money for the family to catch up with the monthly salary sent by the eldest son, so she was not as harsh as before.

  Although she still didn't give her any good looks, she was still full with three meals a day, rice porridge and steamed buns.

   What the girl said makes sense: only when you are full can you do more work! Raising a mule has to be fed.

   No, seeing my daughter take out the balance of the previous batch of clothes and the deposit for the next batch of orders, Xu's mother was so surprised that she couldn't hold her tongue from ear to ear:

"so much?"

   "That's right! The style I think, the workmanship of my sister-in-law, not to mention all over the world, all over our little Mingyang County, I am sure to be invincible!"

   "Hey, who can't do needlework? It must be my daughter's credit!"

  Mother Xu didn't want to praise her daughter-in-law.

   Mrs. Xu did not object.

  She feels that the current life, compared with before, is like heaven—

   No need to go to the village to pick up dung, no need to get up early in the dark to chop firewood, chop firewood, and only need to wash clothes and sheets.

   Less work is not the most important thing, the most important thing is—

   She can eat enough!

  Ever since my sister-in-law left her a bowl of thick porridge, she has never been hungry again.

   A few times I felt full and my stomach was bloated.

   And not only can I eat enough, since I earned money for the family, my mother-in-law has less scolding.

   Days like this gave her hope.

   Full of joy, my sister-in-law stuffed a big union into her hand.

   "Sister-in-law, this is your commission."

   "Why is she still there?" Xu's mother's face sank, "She is your sister-in-law, shouldn't she help you with some work? What does it look like to take the money! Take it back!"

"Mom, I'm just talking about it. My sister-in-law is doing most of the work. She has worked much harder than me. Of course, my parents have also worked hard, so let's share the money you earn! Here, Dad, this is yours! Take it! Buy cigarettes, stop smoking local cigarettes, buy a pack of filters for a change of taste. This is mother, mother is the hardest among us, not only to housekeeper, take care of the daily life of the family, but also to take care of housework, so that we can live in There are no worries when working and studying, so it should be more.”

  Xu Yin kept five yuan for herself, and gave the rest to Xu's mother.

  Xu's mother was coaxed into a smile: "Give it all to mother? Or should you keep it yourself?"

   "As long as I have enough, why do I need so much money! Besides, we don't have a separate family, so it's my mother who will take care of it."

  Mother Xu felt very comfortable when she heard the words.

   Such a large amount of money, the girl will give it to her if she says so, what does that mean? My daughter is filial!

  Xu Yin was relieved to see that her mother no longer struggled with the ten yuan she gave to her sister-in-law.

   Originally, she wanted to give it in private, but she was also afraid that if one day she leaked her words, it would be better to make it clear from the beginning than to quarrel with each other at that time.

  Anyway, the big head was given to Xu's mother. As the main laborer's sister-in-law, it's okay to share a small head.

  Lowing her head, she saw her nephew sitting obediently on the small bench and playing with the paper frog while listening to the adults, Xu Yin frowned and smiled slightly:

"Oh, I forgot about our Doudou. I heard that Doudou has been very good during this period. He helped the master collect firewood, help the grandma sweep the yard, and even competed to wash the dishes after dinner. Such a good child, how could he not?" Rewards! Come on, aunt reward us Doudou with 20 cents!"

   "I, I have it too?"

  Doudou was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it, and the little claw pointed at herself.

   "Of course there is! As long as you contribute to our family, everyone, regardless of adults or children!"

  Xiao Douding was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

  It was completely dark. In order to save electricity and kerosene, everyone went back to their respective rooms to sleep after washing.

  In the east room, Mother Xu held a thick envelope, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find where to hide it.

  In the past, she always took a roll of rubber band, put it in an iron box, and stuffed it into the hole in the wall beside the bed.

  But today, my daughter gave too much money, and the iron box couldn’t fit in the box after it was rolled up, so I just hid it in a hole in the wall and was worried about being bitten by rats, so I wanted to find a suitable iron box.

   While looking for it, he chatted with his wife: "Old man, look at how sensible my daughter is! So much money, I will give it to me if I say so. By the way, I also gave you ten yuan. Where did you hide it? Bring it!"

  Father Xu: "...that's what my daughter honors me."

   "Xiao Jing, you have to leave it to me for safekeeping. Is it possible that you really want to buy those filter cigarettes?"

  Old Father Xu blushed: "It's not a big deal to try something new."

   "Don't spend your daughter's money if you try something new! Earn it yourself if you have the ability!"

   "I gave you all the money I earned in the past. When did I see you buy me cigarettes? My daughter treats me better!"

   "You old man, you don't want to sleep in bed anymore, do you?"

   Father Xu hurriedly begged for mercy.

  Xu's mother laughed and scolded him for being old and unscrupulous.

  In the East Wing, Mrs. Xu carefully put the ten yuan she received into the yellowed cowhide book that looked like a treasure.

   That was the prize that the natal uncle won as an advanced laborer in the early years. When she got married, she added makeup to her, saying that after taking charge of the house, she could put cloth tickets, food tickets and so on.

  Unfortunately, there have been no tickets available, and now I finally have a place to use them.

  After closing it, I opened it and looked at it a few times, feeling very happy.

   This is the first money she has earned by herself.

  My sister-in-law said, there will be more in the future, even more than today, as long as you work hard!

   Of course she will do a good job!

   This is my sister-in-law trying to provoke her!

   "Mom, Mom, and mine!"

  Xiao Douding stood on tiptoe, wanting to give her the two cents in his hand.

  Sister-in-law Xu laughed: "Your money will be kept by your mother alone. When you need money, ask your mother for it."

   "I don't spend it, I want to save it. If I save enough, I can buy the most delicious snacks and candy for my aunt. She gave me another candy today!"

   "I only buy it for my aunt? Doesn't my mother have one?"

   "Yes! Yes! Sister-in-law said, everyone has it!"

   "Hahaha, Doudou is so good!"

  I could vaguely hear laughter and laughter from the east room and the east chamber.

  Xu Yin looked at the top of the yellowed mosquito net, closed her eyes with a smile and fell asleep.

  Early the next morning, Mother Xu got up and started cooking the meat.

  After the busy farming season, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It didn’t change its taste when it was hung in the well last night, but it didn’t last long.

   Five catties of fat and thin pork belly is far less cost-effective than five catties of fat meat in Xu's mother's opinion.

  If she was asked to spend money to buy it, she would never buy streaky flowers.

  But the meaning of the prize the girl got is different.

  Mother Xu raised the knife and cut the meat into three pieces—

   One piece of salted bacon is ready to be salted, adding a meat dish to the double grab in July;

   One piece of braised pork at noon to satisfy my daughter's hunger;

  The rest of the treaty weighed half a catty, tied it with a straw rope and handed it to the daughter to send her to the grandmother's house in Da'ao Village.
