The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm: Chapter 379 Housewives in the 1970s 10

 Chapter 379: The House Ruiner in the 1970s (10)

Xu Yin gave the old lady a bowl of rice and pulled her to sit down at the table.

 The old lady reacted and hurriedly left: "No, no, no, I'll go back to eat."

“Grandma, what’s wrong with having a meal at my house? Isn’t my father your son?”

“That’s right, mother, it’s time for dinner, and you leave as soon as you come. How will it look like to be seen by others! You thought I, Mr. Xu, didn’t even give you a meal.”

Chen Huilan saw that the amount of food her daughter cooked was acceptable, so she also said: "Mom, sit down and eat! How long can it take to eat a meal?"

The old lady said to herself: I don’t want to eat it, I’m afraid of dying of your daughter’s cooking.

But her granddaughter forced her to sit down, and she couldn't stand up again.

He bit the bullet and took a bite of rice. Remembering his purpose, he took out the food hidden in his clothes and handed it to Xu Yin:

“Is your family running out of food? Let’s make do with what we have, and let your grandpa think of a way to get some more black market rice tomorrow.”

 She still has a little money.

 Old man Xu has worked in an agricultural machinery factory for more than 20 years and has earned a lot of wages when combined.

It was just that I gave some subsidies to my three sons in the early stage, especially the younger son’s house purchase, which really cost a lot, but I kept saving what I earned after that.

 There will be a pension in the future. Of course it is not as high as the salary, but it will be enough to support the old couple's expenses. After all, the old lady still had food rations, and her private land was not left unused. She planted some seasonal vegetables and cereals such as corn and sweet potatoes. It was definitely enough for the two of them to live on.

Xu Laosan and his wife were accustomed to the old lady bringing rice, flour and other cereals from time to time, but Xu Yin had mixed feelings.

“Grandma, you’d better take it back. You and grandpa also need to eat. I will find a way to provide food for my family.”

"Why are you being polite to your grandma?" Xu Laosan said hurriedly, "Hurry up and take it in, it will be bad if others see it."

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Not only is he lazy, he is also very thick-skinned.

Same, being thin-skinned probably doesn’t make you a lazy person.

Mrs. Xu bravely took a bite of the scrambled shrimp skin eggs that Xu Yin put into her bowl. The next second, she looked at her granddaughter in surprise: "Did you fry this dish?"

"That's right!" Xu Laosan rushed to say, "Yin Yin has been cooking for the past two days. Her cooking is delicious, much more delicious than my mother's cooking!"

Chen Huilan kicked him under the table: "What I cooked is not delicious, why don't you eat it too?"

"Yes, yes, you are doing okay, but is it far behind Yinyin? You said so yourself yesterday."

　　　…”

Mrs. Xu ignored the bickering between the two of them, picked up her rice bowl and started eating happily: "Oh, it seems that Yin girl has made a lot of progress. She should practice her cooking skills, so as not to be unable to have a warm meal when she gets married in the future."

After eating, I remembered the business of my son's family: "I heard someone say this morning that all three of your family are now working in the fields to earn work points? Yin girl is very strong? Is it true?"

"Really, really." Seeing that the three of them had finished eating, Xu Laosan took the bowl of fried shrimp skin and filled it with a bowl of rice. The little oil at the bottom was used to mix the rice. It was very delicious and he ate it all. He said, "Daughter, where did you pick up these wild eggs? I'll go take a look tomorrow and try to pick up a few more. They're so delicious when fried!"

"Are these pheasant eggs?" Old Mrs. Xu reacted, "Yes, your family doesn't even want to raise a chicken because it's too troublesome to feed the chickens. If you want to eat an egg, you have to go and pick up pheasant eggs. Pheasant eggs are so Is it easy to pick it up? I was lucky once, how can I be so lucky every time? "

When it comes to chickens, Xu Yin really has a question to ask: "Grandma, how many chickens can our family raise?"

"Two at most, what? Do you want to raise them? If you raise them, you have to get chicken food for them. You have to clean the yard frequently and shovel the chicken **** into the dustpan to fertilize. If you can do it, I will find two chickens for you. come over."

Don't expect your son or daughter-in-law to behave like a human being. She will be able to clasp her hands and recite the Amitabha Buddha as she earns wages every day.

Xu Yin nodded: "Okay, grandma, please help me find two chickens and I'll feed them."

Mrs. Xu nodded with satisfaction. Before leaving, he secretly stuffed two pieces of money rolled into cigarette shapes into Xu Yin’s hand:

"Your parents don't care. Your eldest sister got married again, and now the family has to rely on you to support it. Don't let your parents know about the money grandma gave you. You hid it secretly. If there is something missing at home, go buy some. Don’t worry about the grain, I’ll ask your grandfather to inquire about it and find a suitable opportunity to buy some black market grain to last until the autumn harvest.”

How can Xu Yin ask for the old lady's money: "Grandma, please take it back, I have money. I can get paid for the matchbox I pasted right away."

 “How much is that worth?”

Does Mrs. Xu still not know how much money she can get for the number of matchboxes? The little girl buys two red-headed ropes every family, but there is not much left.

 She just put the money into Xu Yin's hand and walked back with her little feet.

Xu Yin thought about finishing work in the evening and going to the river to see if she could catch two more fish with the fish food in her hand, and then they would be divided into two.

When I walked back to the house, I saw the pair of dung buckets in the yard. I slapped my forehead and thought, forget it, her father went back to the house to take a nap, so I stopped calling him and went for a run myself.

 She picked up the dung bucket and walked towards Chen Lei's house, walking with the old lady for a while.

Seeing her coming out with a bucket of dung, Mrs. Xu wondered, "Are you going to pick up dung at this time?"

"No, this belongs to Chen Lei's family. He helped me pick two buckets for retting before lunch. I will return the buckets."

“…” Mrs. Xu’s eyes were a little straightened when she heard this, “Then what… Is Qianjin’s little son picking up **** for you? Ouch!”

Thinking of the toughness of Qianjin’s daughter-in-law, who also said that if she found out which house she was in, she would definitely come to the door and scold her, I felt bad. I quickly stopped my granddaughter and said, “Don’t go, don’t go!”

 The little old lady was frightened to death.

 “What’s wrong, grandma?”

“Ouch, I won’t be able to explain this for a while. Give me the bucket and I’ll take it over to you. Don’t come out and go back to the house quickly.”

 She just took the two buckets away and asked Xu Yin to go home.

Then she took steps towards Chen's house.

 In just a few steps, she suddenly took a heroic step.

 Arrived at the door of Chen's house, Mrs. Xu looked around.

 Fortunately, at this time, everyone was eating and taking naps, and no one was outside.

Old Mrs. Xu quickly put the two buckets in Chen's yard and ran away.

I ran home panting all the way and then sat down, stroking my chest.

 “Ouch, I’m so exhausted!”

 Old man Xu was waiting for her to come back and start dinner: "I'm going to ask something. Why did it take so long?"

The frightened old lady Xu waved her hand: "You can eat it. I ate it at Lao San's house."

 “Does his family still have food for you?” Old Man Xu was happy.

　　When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Xu’s nervous mood was calmed down:

"Yin girl is very sensible. She cooks the food. However, it seems that the third child and his wife are more mature than before. They know how to work in the fields to earn work points. They have skipped the meal and gone to take a nap. They said they would go to the fields in the afternoon. Work here.”

The old couple chatted about the changes in their younger son's family. The younger son, who thought he would be lazy all his life, actually worked hard to earn his full work points. When he was happy, Old Man Xu ate an extra bowl of rice at noon, and he was able to survive.

Mrs. Xu was very angry and funny: "I just said that the third family's food is not enough, so we have to find a way to get some. You are still eating yourself up, it's really your fault!"

 Old man Xu chuckled: "I'm so happy!"
