Chapter 263

From the village radio came the voice of work. The two daughters-in-law of Zhang's family had finished their dinner. Now the food in Zhangjia has improved. The corn dregs were gone. After two yards have been built, the whole family will have enough coarse grain to last until next spring.

Originally, Zhang's father planned to go to the market to prepare some coarse grain before the year, and to replace the fine grain with coarse grain at the end of the year. There will be no shortage of food in the coming year. By Zhang Guoqing such a good table from time to time to eat down. Well, the adults can't swallow the corn dregs, let alone the children?

Zhang's father thought in a twinkling of an eye that several children in his family would not be able to get rations next year. Now the money is loose, immediately bought a lot of fine grain coarse grain.

Now, in addition to the grain purchased and the rations distributed at the end of the year, the warehouse in Zhangjia is full. Zhang Guoqing beat wild boar and other wild things, adding the cellar full. There is no shortage of meat, not to mention fat and oil at home. Nowadays, Zhangjia no longer insists on filling the stomach when cooking, and gradually improves the food.

After dinner. Listen to Mr. Zhang. All the women went to Zhou jiaonala's home to do needlework.

In the living room outside the west chamber, a kerosene lamp lights up. Mai Miao and her sister-in-law take care of the peace on the Kang. Zhang's mother-in-law keeps holding the soles of her shoes. Huang Cuilan and her sister-in-law are wearing sweaters and talking about what they saw at the market.

Zhou Jiao sits beside Zhang's mother in boredom, watching them busy and looking at her hands. She only feels her hands itching. She has a lot of work to do, too. She can't stand it. Feel the room and take out the wool.

Lin chrysanthemum saw her secretly aimed at her mother-in-law, hehe straight smile, "leisure of uncomfortable? Knitting is OK, knitting is not. Are you afraid of not working in a few days

Mother Zhang said with a smile, "silly. What a fool. I'm afraid there's no work to do. Let's make a ball of wool

Zhou Jiao declined to help. He took a chair and put it in front of him, happily rolling the thread. Listen to my sister-in-law in the team selection.

Hearing that the eldest son of Uncle Zhang is fighting for the accounting position, he smiles. In my heart, I think it's better not to go up and recommend Xiao Dashi directly, but also leave a favor.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting about their daily life. They all stopped to look at each other when they heard the sound of talking at the gate of the yard.

Zhang's mother stood up and patted her clothes. "It's Qingshan's daughter-in-law. It seems that Jiaojiao has come back to look for you." With that, he picked up the basket and went out.

Zhou Jiao didn't wait for Zhang's mother to go out and quickly picked up wool to hide in the house. Listen to the voice of many people, these big and small daughter-in-law mouth is not strict, can less one thing.

Zhang's mother saw that Zhou Jiao was ready and lifted the curtain to go out.

Huang Cuilan two people laugh, every time see Zhou Jiao, as long as outsiders hide things, especially fun. They are little brothers and sisters who are afraid of publicity, but everyone has eyes.

Qingshan's daughter-in-law brought a group of women in and heard them laugh, "what's so happy about? We don't come out to meet you outside. "

"I'm glad you're here. Sit down quickly. There is no stool on the Kang. " Lin Ju pulls her to sit down and greets everyone.

Seven or eight little daughter-in-law sat down, Jiji how a person a sentence.

Zhou Jiao was busy greeting them, pointing to the candy and melon seeds on the table, "you are free. Why are you so good today

"Didn't you come back? Is the county town fun? I calculate that you should come back today, and tomorrow their men will go up the mountain. You can't stay in the county. " Leaf a face complacent say.

Zhou Jiao didn't know she was going to hunt tomorrow. Don't talk about her, even Zhang Guoqing doesn't know. The two of them thought they had already gone up the mountain. It's been a long time.

"Great. You know that. Why didn't you come here with your children? "

A little daughter-in-law nearby listened, "the children are too noisy. We can't talk. It's going to be dark. I'll just stay at home. Jiaojiao, you are not at home these days. You have missed a lot. "

Zhou Jiao looked at several people with a smile and said something about the village. This time, all of them are living in Beishan. What happened to the people in the village was a joy to them. There are regional differences.

Lin Ju is talking to her little daughter-in-law. Zhou Jiao knew her and Wang Xiaohua, who had been married before and after her. I can't believe it. The shy little daughter-in-law doesn't look red when she talks about meat.

Qingshan's daughter-in-law approached Huang Cuilan and asked her in a low voice whether the warm room was busy today? Look at Huang Cuilan nodding. He looked at her with envy. It's good if you don't have to divide your family.

As they said this, they talked about the selection of women directors in the village. Everyone looked at the leaves.

The leaf stares at them awkwardly, "don't talk nonsense. My man says I can't. You have to take care of your family and find out what's going on at home

"Your man can live, your Lord? Who doesn't know you men love you the most. Ye, tell us how your man loves you A daughter-in-law said something, which made everyone laugh.

"I'm not serious. Look, I won't tear your broken mouth. "

Zhou Jiao was afraid that they would say anything dirty next. She quickly changed the topic, "xiu'e, did your brother-in-law like the object?"

Everyone looks at xiu'e and waits for her to talk about her brother-in-law.Chen Xiue burst into laughter. "The last time this kid thought that other girls were fat. Oh, my family is so happy with him. He said that he wanted to find a thin one who didn't occupy the Kang. This time, she took a fancy to Zhou Xiaoling of the next village. The two families agreed to get married at the end of the year. I think my brother-in-law has been paying attention to other girls for a long time. As soon as the matchmaker said that, he agreed

"That girl's market is very good, and she's asking for a wife. How much betrothal money did your family give? "

Chen Xiue pointed out that there is no shortage of daughter-in-law in our Zhangjia village, especially at the foot of the north mountain. Two hundred dollars in betrothal money. People like our yard. I know we have a good neighborhood. "

Everyone nodded and agreed. Everyone came from the girl's house. At the beginning, family background was the main reason for visiting relatives, and then it was the young man. Compared with those rustic houses and a large family living in east-west houses, they have a large yard and a spacious living room. They are not afraid that they can not marry a good daughter-in-law. There are a lot of betrothal gifts of 200 yuan. Needless to say, even the girls in the county will marry in.

Zhou Jiao looked at them and said nothing about the betrothal money. Her eight hundred betrothal gifts are among the best in the county. She wished everyone would forget it.

In fact, Zhang's second wife was able to give 500 betrothal gifts. Originally, the two sides agreed to bring back 300 yuan. Who knows it will be broken. When Zhang Guoqing got married, her father-in-law and her mother-in-law could pay 800 yuan. First, they took a fancy to her. Second, Zhou Xue's bride price was five hundred yuan.

Zhang Guoqing added 200 yuan to Zhang Guoqing. In fact, the betrothal gift given by Zhang's family was only 600 yuan. One hundred yuan more than the second.

Thinking of Zhou Xue's five hundred yuan betrothal gift, Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing. She didn't feel guilty about what happened to the Wang family. She was not a good person to give so many betrothal gifts based on the position of village head.

Can we have so much savings by farming in the countryside? Where does Zhang Jia's money come from? Zhang Laoer's five hundred yuan gift money was earned by Zhang's father and his two sons in farming and private work.

Listen to mother-in-law said that at the beginning of the home money is not enough, in addition to the elder sister and second sister secretly subsidies, also borrowed money to make up. Seeing that there was no money at home, Zhang Guoqing went crazy like he went up the mountain to hunt wild things and sell money every day. Only then did his family have savings. It took six or seven years for the whole family to reach 800 yuan of betrothal money. The two brothers and sisters in law did not object to it, but also knew that the biggest income of the family was made by Zhang Guoqing. According to her mother-in-law, her family can be one of the best in the village, it really depends on small five. So no one dares to say anything even if she is more partial.

She really believed her mother-in-law. After marrying into this family, the rough calculation, regardless of the eldest brother's bricklayer work, or the second brother's carpentry work, are not as good as Zhang Guoqing's income. In the early years, Zhang Guoqing should have given all the money to her family. In the last one or two years, she left her private money. After marriage, she gave her 300 yuan, plus 200 yuan to collect the bride price. A private person has 500 yuan to know how much he has made.

Ye asked her curiously, "that gave 200 betrothal gifts, how many do you have in your father-in-law's hands? I think your family has got a lot of dividends this year

Chen Xiue shook her head. "I really don't know. The old couple should have a lot of money. There's no spending these years. My sister-in-law doesn't want to subsidize her husband's family. How much money does my brother-in-law spend on school? "

A little daughter-in-law looked at her enviously and said, "your man has two brothers, and the family has money. You have a good day. My man has five brothers, and there are still two who are not married and have to endure. "

Qingshan's daughter-in-law looked at her strangely and couldn't help but ask her, "last time I heard your mother-in-law say that you and the second son should be separated. I've divided the family equally. What else should I do? That's your father-in-law and mother-in-law's business. "

"She did. She wanted the second and my man to move out and didn't say to build a yard for us. My man is so worried these days. A few days ago, I saw the chrysanthemum and the delicate yard and said that it would cost at least 100 yuan. I really want to split up and let his parents give me some money to make up. No, I'm going to ask them how much it cost? Seeing that the old man is moved, he still knows how to plan early. "

Huang Cuilan and Lin chrysanthemum all look to Zhou Jiao. Zhou Jiao smile, "we are not clear, let him personally ask small five how good they are. Some time ago, several families have already made an appointment to build a courtyard together. I'd like to estimate how much it doesn't cost, just manpower. The biggest expense is the bricklayer, then the carpenter and some tiles. In terms of manpower, you can prepare big Bluestone, earth embryo and wood by yourself. If you start building houses in April and may next year, you should prepare food before that year. "

"Ha ha I don't know. I don't know. I know what you say. Back then my mother-in-law said that separation, what should be prepared, the bottom of my heart has spectrum. "

The leaves should be on the foundation as soon as possible. Don't build in the village. It is said that several families have begun to inquire about our foundation. "

Qingshan's daughter-in-law nodded, "listen to the leaves. Many old people really like it here. Uncle Youtian's houses are all open and will not be repaired. We will build a yard in front of my house in May next year. The foundations have been approved. "

"Thank you for reminding me. Alas At the beginning, no one wanted to come to the foot of the north mountain, but now they are all staring at it. The village is not very good. "

They joked and asked her to live in the village. Women talk a lot together, and soon they talk about what they sell and how much they earn. Talk about which bazaar has the most people and how much more insoles are sold.Zhou Jiao listened to their gossip with great interest and found that there were still many people who could make money. I wonder if I should come up with an idea to make some headdress and sell some red couplets and window decorations. Let the two sisters in law earn some pocket money. Now the situation can still make money. After next year's market is closed, it will be difficult to make money. Three days ago, the bazaars were not conspicuous. Secretly do it at home, the bag in winter is very strict, and I'm not afraid that someone will turn the old scores in the future.
