Su Yue was originally making egg pudding in the kitchen. Not that It was just for points, but she was greedy and suddenly wanted to eat it, so she made some to try when she had time after the meal.
Li Xiaoqing had something to do today, and there was no one to light the fire. Han Aiguo took the initiative to sit in front of the stove and light a fire for Su Yue. While burning, he talked about what Mrs. Zhao threatened to report with cake today.
After listening to this, Su Yue’s face turned cold.
Han Aiguo asked: “What are you going to do about this matter?”
Su Yue kept moving her hands. After a while, she sighed deeply, endured the heartache and said: “What else can you do? The business in the town must stop, we can’t do it anymore.”
Han Aiguo was not surprised by this answer at all. He knew she would make such a decision before coming. The town is too close to the village. Now the Zhao family obviously knows that their family sells cakes in the town. If they are really jealous because they can’t get the cake recipe and report it, and want to catch evidence, they can just follow the fourth child secretly. So they can no longer blatantly sell pastries in town.
Su Yue also knew this fact, so she had to give up the business in the town. In the future, Aimin could not be allowed to go to various family homes in the town to sell cakes, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
It seems that this money can no longer be earned.
But thinking of losing so much money in a month, Su Yue’s heart ached and bled. Fortunately, there is still business in the city. There is no problem in sending cakes to Sister Jiang’s house. Even if others see it, just say that it is for relatives, and others can’t say anything. Sister Jiang will cover her lie.
Han Aiguo thought for a while and said: “In the future, I will ask Aimin not to go when sending cakes to town during the day, but to go at night instead. It will be safer and less likely to be spotted.”
Su Yue thought about it too, to ensure nothing goes wrong. , it is better to avoid people and deliver cakes at night, but it is very dark to deliver cakes at night, and it takes more than two hours to walk back and forth. It is too uncomfortable for Aimin, a 14 yr old child, to walk on the road for such a long time and you can’t go to the brigade every now and then to borrow a mule cart, otherwise it will easily make people suspicious.
At this time, Su Yue thought about the bicycle she saw in the town again, and her desire to buy a bicycle rose again. If there was a bicycle for transportation, it would not only save effort to transport cakes, but also be safe and fast when delivering cakes.
She couldn’t buy it before because she had no money and no tickets. Now she has enough money, but she don’t have the tickets. These days, even if she have money, she can’t buy anything. Having tickets is the key.
For big tickets like bicycles, most people don’t buy them. It’s impossible to get it, and she can’t even get it with her current relationship.
Su Yue sighed dejectedly and muttered to herself: “Why do you need a ticket to buy everything? What kind of system is this?”
Han Aiguo heard what Su Yue said about tickets and asked, “What ticket do you want? What do you want to buy?”
Su Yue sighed, “I want to buy a bicycle. It will be convenient for traveling. It will also be convenient for Aimin to go to town to deliver cakes in the future. But I don’t have a ticket, so I can’t buy it even if I want to.”
Han Aiguo raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, “I’m going to town tomorrow. Then I would ask my comrades who were discharged and transferred to other places if they have tickets. If so, I will ask him to send them to me. ”
That comrade professionally went to the Public Security Bureau. This kind of department will issue such tickets during the Chinese New Year. You can almost get it.
Su Yue’s eyes lit up when she heard this. Han Aiguo never spoke without aim. Since he said it might be possible, then most likely she can get it.
So she can buy a bicycle?
“Why are you so great!” “Su Yue was so excited that she leaned forward and kissed him hard on the cheek.
Han Aiguo had gradually become accustomed to Su Yue’s passionate behavior that would pounce on him at every turn, and he liked her little moves like this very sullenly. Every time the corners of his mouth would turn up involuntarily, and everyone could notice his happiness. If the soldiers under his command saw it, they would definitely doubt that the person in front of them who smiles from time to time is not their cold-faced battalion commander.
The two of them spent time chatting and laughing together. It seemed that before even a few words were said, the egg pudding in the pot was ready. Su Yue took one out and gave it to Han Aiguo, “Try one. ”
Although he didn’t really like eating these small snacks, he didn’t want to refuse when Su Yue gave them to him. He stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them like he usually eats.
Su Yue held her forehead, this person really eats snacks. The way to eat jujube is to swallow it whole. I don’t know if he can taste the specific taste. It’s a bit wasteful to give it to him. But he is a soldier and has a habit of eating big and fast. Su Yue didn’t tell him and wrapped extra bags in oil paper.
After Han Aiguo left, Su Yue returned to the room with egg pudding and was about to ask the other four to eat. Who knew as soon as she entered, she was surrounded by four people.
Wu Xiaoxiao took the plate from Su Yue’s hand, then pushed Su Yue to a chair and sat down, preparing to “torture her to confess”.
Li Xiaoqing looked serious: “Say, is there any improper relationship with Comrade Han Aiguo? ”
Wu Xiaoxiao also had a sullen face, “No need to ask, a man and women staying in the kitchen for so long must not be a pure relationship.
Li Xiaoqing felt the same way and asked tentatively: “Su Yue, are you talking about being friends with Brother Han?”
Su Yue was dumbfounded by their interrogation, but since Han Aiguo had just been let in, she no longer wanted to hide her intentions from them, so she took the initiative to admit: “I admit that I am indeed in a relationship with Comrade Han Aiguo. ”
Seeing that Su Yue really admitted it, the other four people looked at each other and felt a little uncomfortable. Mainly, no one expected that Su Yue would talk to someone in the countryside. Among all the female educated youths, Su Yue was the prettiest and the most beautiful. She is a temperamental person, and her appearance is something that few people in the city can match. In their opinion, any educated youth can take root here, but it is impossible for Su Yue, because her future seems to be infinitely broad, even if It seemed that it was easy to find a rich and powerful man in the city.
Unexpectedly, the person who was least likely to take root in the countryside was the first to fall in love here.
Wu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and asked Su Yue : “Su Yue, don’t you want to go back to the city? ”
Su Yue knew what she meant. Many female educated youths who go to the countryside cannot bear the life.
After studying, they found a man in the countryside to get married and have children, which was considered to have given up all hope of returning to the city. However, those educated youth who always wanted to return to the city were unwilling to take root here because they did not want to let this place slow them down,
Although Li Xiaoqing has been here for several years, she is reluctant to get along with someone here because she still wants to return to the city one day.
Wu Xiaoxiao and the others were not willing to find a partner from a rural man here. In fact, they looked down on the men here, so they didn’t quite understand her relationship with Han Aiguo.
Su Yue smiled and said, “Meeting Han Aiguo for a partner does not mean there is no hope of returning to the city in the future. I believe the policy will change in the future. We can go back to the city if we want.”
Wu Xiaoxiao continued to ask hesitantly : “Then, if you could go back to the city, wouldn’t you want to find someone from the city?Why would you be willing to find someone from the countryside? ”
Su Yue: “Whether you are in the countryside or in the city, as long as it is what you like, you will be happy if you can live a good life. Finding someone in the countryside does not mean that you will not be happy. On the contrary, looking for someone in the city doesn’t mean that you can live a good life, don’t you think?”
Li Xiaoqing and the others pondered for a moment, feeling that what Su Yue said made sense, and Han Aiguo was handsome, and his leg could be cured now, and he could return to health. In the army, they heard that he is still a battalion-level cadre. Thinking about it, the conditions are not much worse than those of men in the city. Su Yue will not live bad if she finds him.
After figuring this out, several people stopped worrying and expressed their blessings to Su Yue.
————
After two days of this, it was time for the village to share the harvest.
This is a happy day for the village. All the members are in high spirits and their eyes are shining. Even Li Xiaoqing is extremely excited. After all, the food before was not enough. During this period, if Su Yue had not often helped them and fed them well, Yes, I’m afraid they would be left hungry.
Because everyone has long been looking forward to the autumn grain distribution.
On this day, everyone in the village did not have to work and all gathered in the field in front of the brigade headquarters. The person in charge of food distribution from the production team distributed autumn food to the members here.
The brigade asked one representative from each family to come out and line up in front of the venue, one by one. The scorekeeper and accountant of the production team report the amount of grain distributed at the front. The other two people from the production team are responsible for weighing the scales on the side, and the accountant is responsible for holding the weight.
When Su Yue and the others came, there were already many people queuing up. Old Mrs. Han was standing in line not far from the queue. When she saw Su Yue coming, she quickly waved to her, “Yueyue, come over to Auntie’s side, lets go together.”
Li Xiaoqing and others poked Su Yue’s arms teasingly and laughed softly: “Su Yue, go quickly, your future mother-in-law is calling you.”
Su Yue was not a shy little daughter-in-law, and she didn’t even blush when they teased her, walked over generously and stood with Old Mrs. Han.
The aunt behind Old Mrs. Han didn’t say anything when she saw this, but seeing that Old Mrs. Han was so kind to Su Yue, she smiled and joked: “Sister-in-law of the Han family, do you want to adopt a goddaughter?”
Old Mrs. Han smiled deeply, thinking that this was not just my goddaughter, but the eldest daughter-in-law of our old Han family.
Mrs. Han patted Su Yue’s arm and said: ”I’ll ask Ai Guo and the others to help you transport the food back later. Your small body can’t carry that much food.”
Su Yue turned around and saw the four sons of the Han family waiting not far away. Even Han Aiguo was there. When he saw Su Yue looking over, there was a smile in his eyes.
Su Yue winked at him quickly, then turned her head and chatted quietly with Mrs. Han.
This was the first time Su Yue experienced the scene of dividing autumn grain. She was very curious and asked Mrs. Han: “Auntie, how is this autumn grain divided? How many kilograms of autumn grain can one work point exchange for?”
Old Mrs. Han hesitated after hearing this. She waved her hand and said: “We don’t divide grain according to work points every time. That would be too troublesome. Like this time, we divide grain according to population. Coarse grains like sorghum. This year’s brigade rule is that one kilogram per person, children over ten years old will get fifty grams, and children under ten years old will be divided into thirty grams each. When the unified settlement is made at the end of the year, all the work points for the year will be calculated, and then the settlement will be made with the brigade at once. More refunds, less supplements.”
It turns out that’s the case, Su Yue suddenly realized.
The two people were talking and soon it was the Han family’s turn. The accountant glanced at Old Mrs. Han and found the part of the records that belonged to the Han family. He saw that the Han family had six adults, one twelve-year-old child, and four ten-year-old children. For the children below, the accountant once again raised the abacus in his hand and flipped it around in front of Mrs. Han. It took a while before he reported the numbers: “The total amount of sorghum is 560 kilograms, and the fine grain is 200 kilograms.” Forty kilograms of soybeans…”
The weigher weighed the grain according to the number he reported, but Mrs. Han was afraid that they would tamper with them during the weighing, so she kept her eyes on the scale and refused to give them the missing kilograms less chances.
Su Yue saw Old Mrs. Han staring at the weights so carefully, and she couldn’t laugh or cry in her heart. Just looking at the weights is not very useful. The account at the source is wrong. The sorghum distributed by the Han family should be 590 kilograms, not five hundred and sixty pounds.
It seems that the accountant made a mistake.
Su Yue must take care of this matter. Thirty kilograms of grain is not a small amount. This is the ration for a child under ten years old. You can’t give less because of a miscalculation. But with so many people present, if she said in public that he was not good at calculating accounts, the accountant would definitely not be able to stand up. Wouldn’t this offend people?
Rolling her eyes, Su Yue said to the accountant: “Oh, uncle accountant, you got the population of Aunt Han’s family wrong. There are six adults, a twelve-year-old boy and four children in Aunt Han’s family.”
The accountant was confused. He knew that the Han family consisted of six adults, one teenager, and four children. This was how he calculated it, and that was correct.
The accountant was about to say that he was not mistaken when Su Yue came up and whispered: “The sorghum of the Han family should be 590 kilograms, uncle accountant, you must have got the population of the Han family wrong. Make up for it quickly.”
The accountant had a sudden thought and quickly dialed the numbers on the abacus carefully. The result was really five hundred and ninety kilograms. He had just calculated it wrong.
Looking up at Su Yue, the accountant knew what Su Yue meant. This girl deliberately said that he had got the population wrong, just to give him face and avoid embarrassing him.
This girl is really good at being a human being.
The accountant will follow.
He said: “Oh, look at my brain. I miscounted the Han family’s population. I quickly added that the Han family’s sorghum is five hundred and ninety kilograms.”
Old Mrs. Han also understood what was going on and squeezed Su Yue’s hand tightly, feeling glad that Su Yue discovered this problem here, otherwise she would not have expected that the accountant would calculate the accounts incorrectly.
Like most members, she is not very good at calculating these complicated accounts. All are accountants. It’s as much as it says. How can I think that the abacus can be wrong? If we hadn’t discovered it this time, we would have lost thirty kilograms of food, which makes me feel sad just thinking about it.
This girl Su Yue is so smart, she can calculate the accounts correctly without using an abacus, and she can even remind the accountant calmly. Her eldest must have used all their luck since childhood to find a wife. Patriot has always had bad luck growing up. She used to worry that he would have bad luck finding a partner in the future, but now it seems that his luck in finding a partner is very good, and no one can compare with him.
Mrs. Han felt happy as she thought about it. She took Su Yue’s hand and said with a smile: “Today we will share the autumn grains. Our family will have a good meal. Yueyue, you can come to my house after you transport the grains back. Let’s eat, I will cut off some meat today.”
Su Yue did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
There were no mistakes after that. After the Han family’s food was divided, the Han family took them aside. After Su Yue’s food was also divided, Mrs. Han asked Han Lao Er and Han Lao San to distribute the food at home. Transport it back, while Han Aiguo and Han Aimin help Su Yue transport the food back to the educated youth point.
Su Yue didn’t have much food, so Han Aiguo and Han Aimin transported the food to the educated youth point in one trip. They also helped Li Xiaoqing and others transport their food back, causing Li Xiaoqing and the others to tease behind them.
After the food was transported, Su Yue would go to the Han family for dinner with Han Aiguo. After arriving at the Han family, she discovered that the Han family had already started cooking separately. The old lady still used the original stove, while Han Lao Er and Han Lao San were cooking separately in the back. Start the stove and fire it alone.
