Chapter 21： The first generation of talents

Zhou Xiaofeng introduced to Su Xiaoman the rules of their production team for sericulture. The team was divided into groups, and Sister Shun led a sericulture group by herself. Their group had the highest output for three consecutive years. It is also of the best quality. After a year, if you can raise thirteen or fourteen batches of silkworms, the benefits of their group are also the best. At the end of the year, the dividends will be distributed, and every woman who raises silkworms can get a lot.

"Many people in our village want to join Sister Zan Shun's group. Some time ago, sister-in-law Gu had a problem and asked someone to replace her..."

There are more than 30 bungalows, and there is a small house of more than 10 square meters on the side, and the houses are covered with black tiles.

"This village was built three years ago, and several expansions were made at that time."

…

While Zhou Xiaofeng was talking, a woman with a dustpan walked out of the Jamsil. When Zhou Xiaofeng saw her, he immediately shouted in surprise, "Sister Shun!"

Sister Shun is a woman in her thirties, her hair is meticulously combed, at this time her brows are wrinkled, her complexion is extremely poor, the circles of blue and black under her eyes, she sees Zhou Xiaofeng, her face is not welcoming The look on his face made his face even more elongated.

"Your surname is Zhou again." Sister Shun complained in a low voice.

"Sister Shun, what's wrong with you, what happened." Zhou Xiaofeng was stunned. In the past, she had a good relationship with Sister Shun, but she never thought that the other party would treat her coldly today.

"It's not that Zhou Xiaohong from your Zhou family. A good batch of big silkworms has been raised for her, but she is lazy and skillful, cleaning silkworm sand and those mulberry leaves... It's already a big silkworm. Yes, there is a pus."

"After so many days, it's all in vain!!" When she said this, Sister Shun's eyes were a little red.

, it can't be cured, and the hard work that I have paid before has come to nothing.

How can I make Sister Shun not resentful.

Zhou Xiaohong pretended to be clever in front of her, one thing in front of her, and another behind her back. When Sister Shun explained to her about silkworm farming, Zhou Xiaohong assured her that she was very good and obedient, but in fact she was very perfunctory, lazy and did not clean, and the silkworms were not found when they were sick. Infection, by the time Sister Shun came to check, she was already ill.

Sister Shun held back her tears and picked out the sick silkworms. Before she could question Zhou Xiaohong, Zhou Xiaohong cried and cried in front of her, "I'm sorry", "I regret it" and "I will correct it later".

—Zhou Xiaohong admits to being the first, but never changes.

Sister Shun was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

Sister Shun is a married woman. Although she has heard of the reputation of "Zhou Xiaohong", she does not know how powerful Zhou Xiaohong is.

Before there was a vacancy in Mrs. Zhou's house, the Zhou family said all the good things, and Sister Shun agreed to arrange Zhou Xiaohong in. Now with this result, Sister Shun just wants to go back to half a month ago A kick to wake himself up.

The people who saw the Zhou family at this time inevitably became angry.

"It's your family who asked Zhou Xiaohong to come over and tell her to learn, look at my fine silkworms..."

Hearing the name "Zhou Xiaohong", Zhou Xiaofeng's face also had some indescribable expressions.

He smashed his teeth into pieces and swallowed blood in his stomach.

However, she should make the same mistake next time.

I will tell her to do whatever she wants, but she will never do it once you leave.

The village chief has nothing to do with her.

This is a habit she has developed since childhood. Her parents were cheating and cheating, making the family impoverished, and Zhou Xiaohong's temperament also grew crooked. When I was a child, when I passed by other people's fields, I always took something with my hands. Even if someone found out, Zhou Xiaohong cried and apologized, saying that he would never dare again.

So much so that Zhou Xiaohong can always use the same method to avoid blame, this is good, it has become a habit.

Even if a person is beautiful, the men in the village dare not marry her. Of course, there are also many who covet her, but once a young boy has such thoughts, his mother will not He took the broom and pulled him out of the village.

"If you dare to marry Zhou Xiaohong, you will no longer be my son, and you will sever the mother-son relationship with you."

…

So that Zhou Xiaohong is twenty-two years old and has not been able to marry yet, and finally met the "educated youth" sent by the state into their village. Zhou Xiaohong thought it was an opportunity to approach the young educated youth. She had a criminal record and was almost married to her, but unfortunately Zhou Xiaohong couldn't keep it up, and the educated youth who knew her past history "crazy" joined the army to the frontier.

Zhou Xiaohong still didn't get married and stayed in the village. The village chief broke her head. Some time ago, Zhou Xiaohong cried and said that she wanted to correct herself and work, and the village chief arranged for her to come and support her. silkworm.

Who knows the result...

"Sister Shun, I'm sorry." Zhou Xiaofeng apologized to Sister Shun, but Sister Shun's face was still not very good, "What are you bringing people for now?"

Sister Shun's eyes fell on Su Xiaoman. When she saw that face that was more beautiful than Zhou Xiaohong, she felt disgust in her heart. Women are excluded.

"Sister Xiaoman wants to learn silkworm raising, please take her with you, Sister Shun."

Sister Shun snorted coldly, "Take her away, I don't have time to lead people now, things are so busy here."

"You two go, don't disturb me."

Zhou Xiaofeng was a little overwhelmed by her blocking, Su Xiaoman said: "Sister Shun, let us both help."

"Help? You? Didn't you come to learn how to raise silkworms? What do you know?"

Su Xiaoman: "Sister Shun, now that there are diseased silkworms, it is even more necessary to do a good job of cleaning and timely ventilation and disinfection."

"I read some books on silkworm raising when I came here. I'm not someone who doesn't understand anything."

Zhou Xiaofeng said quickly: "Yes, Sister Shun, we are here to help you clean up the Jamsil together."

Sister Shun's eyes were still on Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman let her scrutinize her openly.

"Xiaofeng, go to the mulberry leaf house, you, come with me to clean up the silkworm sand."

Zhou Xiaofeng nodded and went to work, Su Xiaoman followed Sister Shun to the Jamsil, where there were round dustpans, countless silkworms gnawed on the green mulberry leaves, and the silkworms ate the mulberry After the leaves, black silkworm sand, which is the feces of silkworms, will be excreted.

Like human feces, if the silkworm sand is not cleaned up in time, the environment in which silkworms live will be polluted, and it is easy to get sick and die.

Young silkworms are very fragile and must be handled with care so that they are not frightened.

Kong climbed onto the net cloth and feasted on the fresh silkworm leaves so that he could clean the silkworm sand underneath.

After sister Shun and Su Xiaoman worked together for ten minutes, Sister Shun looked at the other party's movements and felt that this person was agile and could not help but feel relieved.

She is really afraid of another beautiful "Zhou Xiaohong".

Su Xiaoman feeds the little silkworms like her, and Sister Shun's complexion is slightly better, and she even starts to talk to Su Xiaoman, telling her how to raise silkworms and some experience of the production team.

"Family raising silkworms is the best way. Each family raises their own family, and whoever has a problem will be responsible for it."

"It's her own business if she doesn't raise her well."

"Like when I was a child, each family raised silkworms by themselves. In our village, almost every household raised silkworms."

Sister Shun sighed: "Now the team raises silkworms together, which is also beneficial, everyone only needs to be responsible for their own part, saving effort, division of labor, and others picking mulberry leaves Yes, it is also a little trouble-free.”

"But it is also prone to problems, especially with 'people', so we must choose a good silkworm breeder and be responsible."

"Zhou Xiaohong does this, she can't do anything to her, it's her family's loss, it's everyone's hard work."

Su Xiaoman nodded, "We raise silkworms by ourselves. Although we work hard, we will try our best to make fewer mistakes and bear the output."

"Raising silkworms together, if one of the chains falls, it is easy to make mistakes."

Sister Shun nodded, "I have raised some in my own home, and there have been no major problems, but if everyone works together to raise them, if there are no problems, the overall output will be higher."

"The output has been good in recent years, and the dividends of each company at the end of the year are quite large, but it is better than before."

"Our cooperation group has the highest dividend every year."

Su Xiaoman: "Sister Shun, you take care of it well."

Sister Shun smiled, "As long as there are fewer people like Zhou Xiaohong in the team, the efforts of others will not be wasted."

Sister Shun reminded: "If you want to raise silkworms in your commune, you must focus on good personnel and choose those who are solid and willing to work, or else the silkworms will be tossed to death before they are well raised. output?"

"There are always some foreigners, so let's not harm these little guys."

"I want Zhou Xiaohong to come to me to get work points for nothing, and see if I don't scold her to death."

Su Xiaoman and Zhou Xiaofeng followed Sister Shun for a whole day, feeding big silkworms and small silkworms, and disinfecting a silkworm room.

Sister Shun changed her opinion of Su Xiaoman a lot. The batch of silkworms that were going to be cocooned in grids recently developed abscesses, and the rest of the silkworms were not in good condition. Even if it can spin silk and cocoon smoothly, the quality of this batch will not be too good.

So Sister Shun handed over part of the batch of silkworms to Su Xiaoman and Zhou Xiaofeng for feeding and management, allowing Su Xiaoman to try to accumulate experience.

"The two of you are feeding, and you should learn how to set up the grid at the back."

Su Xiaoman is naturally grateful, "Thank you Sister Shun."

"The concrete road is being built in that section of our village." Zhou Xiaofeng said, "Dad said it would be better to go with a concrete road."

Su Xiaoman nodded, thinking, if you want to get rich, you must build a road first, and building a road is definitely a must.

The two were walking side by side on the road, but they heard a car approaching behind and honked the horn twice. Su Xiaoman didn't take it seriously at first, and pulled Zhou Xiaofeng to the side to avoid, who knows The next moment, he heard the familiar "Man Man".

It seems to be Xie Mingtu's voice.

Su Xiaoman looked back and saw a blue transport van, a four-wheeled truck with a canopy at the back, which is rare in the village, and looked at the driver's seat.

The man in the driver's seat was a bit familiar, the man holding the steering wheel looked very much like a man surnamed Xie.

"Man Man."

Su Xiaoman was shocked: "???!"

Xie Mingtu went to learn how to drive a tractor yesterday, and today is the second day, so he upgraded his car and drove a transporter.

—Xie Gouzi, are you driving without a license? ? !

The transporter stopped beside the two of them. The driver of the car invited them to get on the bus. Su Xiaoman was in a very complicated mood at this time, and didn't really want to get into this unlicensed car.

Su Xiaoman: "…"

I don't know if I need a driver's license in this era?

"Manman? I'll drive you back."

Su Xiaoman felt that Xie Gouzi was a little overconfident, and with an inexplicable worry, he got into the car with Zhou Xiaofeng. After getting in the car, he found that there was another person in the car, that is Zhou Xiaofeng's fiance, Yang Changgui.

Yang Changgui just hid in the car so that they wouldn't find out, until Zhou Xiaofeng got into the car, and then deliberately made a sound, which startled Zhou Xiaofeng.

Zhou Xiaofeng: "???!! Why are you here?"

"Go back with Brother Xie, Xiaofeng is so nice to see you again."

"This is Sister Xiaoman. She looks so beautiful. Of course, in my eyes, you are the best looking, Xiaofeng."

Go back and talk to Zhou Xiaofeng.

Su Xiaoman felt relieved when she saw Yang Changgui in the car.

At least Xie Gouzi, who is not an unlicensed driver, is driving freely, and there is a person who knows how to drive next to him.

Yang Changgui and the others wanted to deliver a batch of cement and sand on the truck. It just so happened that Su Xiaoman and Zhou Xiaofeng were not in a hurry to go back, so they simply accompanied them to deliver the goods.

In fact, Su Xiaoman wanted to stay away from this unlicensed car, but the unmarried couple was reluctant to part, so she "saved herself" to let the couple feel their hearts.

Although Xie Mingtu in the driver's seat did not have a license, he still drove in a similar manner, and there was no major problem.

Say it publicly.

The fiancée then cast their curious eyes on the other couple in the car.

Yang Changgui turned his head and glanced at Xie Mingtu's profile, especially the "Hu scum" who was slightly mature and vicissitudes of life, and then turned to glance at Su Xiaoman, who was beautiful.

Yang Changgui: “…”

The couple who are about to get married are curious about what a real young couple will look like?

Xie Mingtu and Su Xiaoman in front of them don't look very close.

Yang Changgui is also very curious about how Xie Mingtu, who looks like this, married Su Xiaoman, a beautiful and virtuous wife.

Of course, after getting along this day, Yang Changgui admires Xie Mingtu's ability. He learns things too fast, he is also literate, understands accounts, and has a very fast mental arithmetic ability. He is a very talented man.

Seeing that he counts so fast, the manager of the factory wants to keep him as an accountant. Today, Xie Mingtu is helping as a driver to run and transport, and also part-time clearing and accounting. One person is two people. For this reason, the people in the factory paid an extra sum of money.

The factory manager thought he was a talent and let him take a special job, but Xie Mingtu was not from here at all, so the factory manager sighed, feeling that such a good talent was lost.

—Sister-in-law Xiaoman must have taken a fancy to Brother Xie's talent.

Xie Mingtu: "…"

Their marriage is a bit absurd, it is the same unlicensed marriage as he is now driving without a license.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingtu involuntarily grasped the steering wheel in his hand, and a strong tension suddenly appeared in his body.

"It hasn't been three months yet." Su Xiaoman replied casually, in front of the fiancé who was about to get married, she had no self-consciousness.

Sometimes men like to chat more than women Ask them about the couple.

"It was not long after the wedding."

Yang Changgui smirked a few times. He is about to be the groom, and he is happy with everything. When he sees two sparrows on the roadside, he can feel that they are a couple.

He really wanted to talk about these things.

Especially stories of pairings between men and women.

According to him, the newly met Brother Xie is a very talented man. He grew up in the same village as sister-in-law Xiaoman. so…

Xiaoman's sister-in-law is about the same age as their Xiaofeng, she is only 18 or 19 years old, and has just reached the legal age of marriage for girls.

In fact, they don't pay much attention to this in their village. Some girls get married early. Zhou Xiaofeng's family loves their daughters and always wants to stay with their girls for a few more years, so the two of them are talking about marriage now.

The Xie family in front of them...

Yang Changgui still focused on Xie Mingtu's face. The man's hair was neat and tidy, and the hairstyle was particularly beautiful, which was very attractive to young people. A young brother secretly came to ask Yang Changgui where his companion's hair was cut, and they also wanted to shave it.

Yang Changgui asked Xie Mingtu, and Xie Mingtu answered casually, saying that the old master at the entrance of the village cut it casually.

I heard that it was cut by an old master from the hometown of the village. Even if these transportation guys want to find a place to shave their heads, they can't find anyone, and they can only sigh with embarrassment like the factory manager.

Brother Xie and his village are really talented.

Forget Xie Mingtu, a hairstyle that attracts the attention of young people, in Yang Changgui's opinion, the eyebrows, eyes and nose of the other party are very marked, and they are well-born and good-looking. At this point, The two of them are very compatible.

Uncle Friday.

Yang Changgui guessed that Xie Mingtu's age should be twenty-six or seventeen, maybe it was delayed by the family, maybe it was to wait for Xiaoman's sister-in-law to grow up. Because of other reasons, he is only getting married now.

Compared with him and Zhou Xiaofeng, the age difference between the two is a bit big.

Yang Changgui is just 20 this year, and Zhou Xiaofeng is 18 years old. The elders joked that the two of them are the perfect age.

"It's best to have a difference of two years. Otherwise, why does the country let men in their 20s and women in their 18th get married?"

Yang Changgui was very proud of this, so he turned and asked, "Brother Xie, how old are you this year."

He actually wanted to ask why the other party got married at this age.

Xie Mingtu, who was holding the steering wheel, no longer wanted to stay with Yang Changgui, so he replied, "It's almost twenty."

He added a little age to himself.

—Wait a year and a half, and it will be twenty soon.

If Su Xiaoman hadn't been sitting in the back, he would have added more to himself.

"Cough cough cough..." Yang Changgui choked on his own saliva and stared at Xie Mingtu in surprise.

He Yang Changgui is already twenty, but Brother Xie in his mouth actually said that he is almost twenty?

It means less than twenty.

"Brother Xie, what year are you from?"

Xie Mingtu had a dark face: "…"

Xie Gouzi himself does not want to answer this question at all.

"He belongs to the sheep, almost nineteen." Su Xiaoman answered for him at the back.

Su Xiaoman feels that age is not a secret that cannot be known to outsiders.

What's more, they are all eighteen or nineteen years old. When they are in their prime, there is nothing to say.

"Then I'll be bigger!" Yang Changgui finally corrected himself, "It turned out to be Brother Xie and younger siblings!"

He called him "brother" for nothing today.

Yang Changgui didn't really care about this kind of "calling brother", he reached out and patted Xie Mingtu's shoulder, and looked at the other's face, that "brother" was not very suitable for calling Export.

The beard looks too mature.

"Brother Xie, why don't you shave the beard on your face? You're too mature." Yang Changgui touched his bald chin.

Su Xiaoman at the back felt that Yang Changgui was right, and she couldn't figure out why Xie Mingtu didn't shave.

Xie Mingtu shook his head and refused: "No shaving."

"Why?" Yang Changgui raised his voice, he felt uncomfortable with a beard, and a moustache in his 50s or 60s was almost the same.

"Because Manman likes it."

Yang Changgui was stunned, and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

Zhou Xiaofeng looked at Su Xiaoman dully, thinking that Sister Xiaoman likes this...

Su Xiaoman: "????!!!"
