After resting for one night, Qin Lingling woke up early the next day.

It rained in the middle of the night last night, and it was cool for a while in the morning.

She first got up and went to the kitchen, ready to make some breakfast.

However, Gu Yao got up earlier, cooking porridge, and cooking corn.

Gu Yao planted corn on the edge of the vegetable garden. After planting for almost two months, she ran off to pick a few corns this morning, intending to let her sister-in-law try it.

"I can smell the scent of corn." Qin Lingling entered across the threshold and said with a smile.

Gu Yao quickly stood up, "Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

"I thought I woke up early enough, but I didn't expect you to wake up earlier than me."

Gu Yao smiled and said, "No way, I will have to go to the fields later. Recently, I have been rushing to harvest. It has been too busy. It has rained. Sister-in-law, the corn is going to be better. Come and eat. The porridge is almost there. "

"Well, you eat first." Qin Lingling said, "I'll go brush my teeth first."

Gu Yao was not polite, nodded, took a corn from the pot and let it cool in the water, and then ate it directly.

While eating, she asked about Qin Lingling's brother, "Sister-in-law, you said last night that my brother will be back in a while?"

"Um."

"Is going to change jobs, right?"

"Transfer, it can be regarded as a job change!"

There is always a time for soldiers to retreat, but even if Gu Zheng retreats, he is also a soldier, but in other positions, fighting for the prosperity and prosperity of the country.

Gu Yao didn't know what to transfer, and just said, "As long as my brother comes back early, I can still eat the corn I planted."

Qin Lingling smiled. When she ate the corn that Gu Yao had cooked in the pot and found that the corn was too old, she couldn't help thinking, when Gu Zheng came back, the corn could break its teeth when it was old. ? It's a little funny to think about Gu Zheng's good tooth burst.

Except for Qin Lingling, everyone else in the family went busy. Even Li Dani was not idle. If she was going to be lazy, she would come back earlier to cook for her family. Sometimes Gu Chunhua would also be called for help. At other times, I will work more. This kind of diligence can be reflected in their vegetable garden.

Qin Lingling first went to the vegetable garden to get acquainted. The pepper planted at home was better than the army’s. Probably because the pepper tree was bigger, and the family’s farmhouse had a lot of manure, so there should be rice stalks on it. Fat.

On the top of the peppers, there are red and bright mature peppers.

Qin Lingling brought a lot of small baskets, and picked cucumbers, bitter gourd, beans, etc.

After returning home, she first went to see the jars used for bubble pepper and sour bamboo shoots last year.

There are still a lot of beans in one tank, and a lot of it in the other tank.

Qin Lingling looked at the contents of the house carefully, and she was well organized by Gu Yao. Knowing that there are fewer bamboo shoots now, Gu Yao is making capers.

When Gu Yao came back in the evening, she saw a dish of capers and fried pork froth at home, only then did she think of the kitchen and the pots in the back of the house.

"After the Chinese New Year, spring bamboo shoots have grown. I dug a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain with Aunt Chunhua Dani. I adjusted the ingredients in advance and added two pickles jars borrowed by my third aunt next door, so there are bamboo shoots. When I just soaked it in, I quickly sold a lot of money. Every month, I listened to what you said. I added a meal of meat to the family and saved a lot of money. I saved it all. I didn't touch it."

As Gu Yao said, she hurriedly took out the money she had saved and handed it to Qin Lingling.

The money is not much, but there are hundreds of dollars, all left over by Gu Yao's money for eating meat.

Gu Yao said, "Last year we sold well, so this year we have increased it, and I have also increased the price. Then the lady boss is willing to do too much, so I don’t dare to make too much, so there is only that. I am afraid to let People found out."

Gu Yao is not very courageous by nature, and it is not easy for her to earn money by secretly selling sour bamboo shoots and capers.

However, she also found that there are more people selling things outside, and there are people selling vegetables, baskets, and eggs.

Qin Lingling said to her, "It's fine to do it as best as you can. If you are scared, don't do so much. If you are brave, do more. Don't just sell one family. You can also find a few more, and the price is also high. Sell ​​higher and do more. In the future, our family can be made into a larger scale so that we can make more money."

Gu Yao shook her head when she heard that it was going to be scaled up, "Sister-in-law, if we are caught, we will be criticized."

"No, it's okay."

Seeing Qin Lingling being so serious, Gu Yao felt that her sister-in-law didn't need to make her lie to her.

She remembered a family she met when she went to town before.

"Sister-in-law, don’t tell me, there are still a lot of big people. I met a man in the town. They lived in the mountains and raised a lot of chickens. People know how many chickens he raises. What his family eats is all from the mountains. The eggs they lay are big and proud. The prices are high, and many people want them."

"Yeah. That's normal."

"He said that he has made hundreds of yuan by relying on eggs. He has other income. He will do whatever makes money. He said that he was afraid of being poor before, but now he can make money. He will not let it go. "

"Yeah." Qin Lingling nodded hard. Most people have no food to eat and are really hungry. They can only find various ways to make money, which is understandable.

Later, when she went to university and even went out to society, she learned that most of the 10,000-yuan households in the 1970s and the businessmen who went to the sea to make money in the 1980s were due to poor family conditions. There was really no way, but Bite the scalp to make money. And those who are used to ease, even if there is a big advantage waiting for them in front of them, they will be afraid of the instability of the evidence, and they will resume the life of those cautious lives as they did in those ten years.

Therefore, in those days, bold people were either people who saw the situation clearly, or people who simply struggled for a bite.

Obviously, those people just bet on the right time at that time, so they made a home. Later, they have better conditions to make their lives better step by step. And such a group of people, if they live after two thousand years , May not have such a big opportunity.

"How many beans do we grow now?" Qin Lingling asked.

Gu Yao said, “It’s quite a lot, because I want to make tamarind beans, so I plant more. I have them in the vegetable garden. I plant them wherever I can plant in the corners. Every time I take them off, I put them on the back of the pool. , I’ve waited a few times, and I’ll be soaking together again.”

"Um."

Because Gu’s family doesn’t have many fields, even if Gu Yao has the courage to develop these soaking bamboo shoots and beans, I’m afraid the family’s fields will not be able to bear it. many.

Thinking that the household contracting system will take some time, Qin Lingling feels that this period is a bit long. After all, it started in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang, Anhui in 1978, and then began to be tried out in many places across the country.

And the trial is not so easy. Many people get used to it and don't change it casually. After all, if the change is not good, it will be the family's ration for the whole year. This is a big problem.

However, Qin Lingling was not too worried about this, because she still had money-making business, such as her work of weaving hand ropes.

In the evening Gu Yao came back after a busy day, and it was getting dark. She had been tanning for a summer, and her young face was black and red.

Looking at her face, Qin Lingling felt uncomfortable for her.

After eating, Qin Lingling talked to Gu Yao about her thoughts, and wanted Gu Yao to go to the provincial capital.

Anyway, when the time comes, she and Gu Zheng will rent a house, and then rent a house to Gu Yao. Even if they do something, it will be better than sunbathing in the countryside.

"Will you come with me to help me in the city?"

When it comes to going to the city, Gu Yao naturally wants to go, after all, the city is the place she yearns for.

When she went to the army to find her brother, she passed through the provincial capital. The prosperity of the provincial capital was beyond her reach, and she wanted to experience it.

But thinking of my identity...

"Sister-in-law, can I go? I can't do anything if I go. I have to eat and drink and spend money. That's not good? I can't go."

In the countryside, Gu Yao feels that she can at least do some work to reduce the burden on the family. After all, she is considered a labor force at home. It is good in the city and she yearns for it, but she is even more afraid of being dragged down.

And what she worries about is what Qin Lingling is least worried about.

"Don't worry, in the city, you can work and earn money."

"Work?" Gu Yao still didn't believe it, "I don't know anything, what can I...what can I do?"

"You will, you don't have to go to a factory to be a worker in the city to be considered a job, you can come and help me." Qin Lingling said.

She told Gu Yao about making money by making hand ropes at school. She told her that the price she earned from a rope may be the work points she earned back in one day, or even more. After all, in the countryside, the village’s annual income The benefits are different. If there is a bad weather due to natural disasters, and the food harvest is not good, everyone will not have that much income, and even food will be a problem.

After listening to Qin Lingling's words, Gu Yao believed half of it. After all, she didn't think her sister-in-law would joke with her about such things.

"Then... can I really go? Can I make money?"

Qin Lingling didn't answer, she took out a braided hand rope from the placed bag, took up other ropes on the other side, and handed them to her.

Gu Yao took it suspiciously, and did not understand, "Sister-in-law, this is..."

"That hand strap is a finished product. Take a look, let you weave this, can you?"

Gu Yao looked at it in both hands and thought for a while, "Sister-in-law, will you teach me how to make it?"

"I will definitely teach you how to speak, what should I do?"

"If this is the case, I think I should be." Gu Yao replied.

"Well, it will do. When you go to the provincial capital, you can help me. Then you won't have to be outside in the sun."

"But sister-in-law, can you really make money like this? The girls in the provincial capital like these?"

Qin Lingling provocatively looked at the hand **** her left hand, "How about you, do you like this hand strap?"

Gu Yao nodded without hesitation, "I like it."

Jiang Xiaoben bought these similar things for her in the past, and they look good on her body, but she usually does farm work, and she is afraid that she might not see them if she wears them, so she simply put them at home and didn't wear them.

"You like it too. Girls in the city will like it. After all, this hand strap made by your sister-in-law is not ugly. Wearing it out is better than wearing gold and silver, don't you think?"

For the No. 1 fan girl, this is only a crazy nod in agreement.

"Hmm, sister-in-law, you are the best."

"Then you have to believe that your sister-in-law can make you live a better life, instead of dealing with the land in the countryside all your life."

"Well, I see, sister-in-law."

"In fact, I don't just want to take you out of the countryside, I will also take Guoqiang, take Chunhua them out, let them help me, I also need your help, and let you accept more and better lives."

Whether it's Gu Guoqiang or Gu Chunhua, because of her appearance, they didn't go on a crooked road step by step like that. On the contrary, although they still have minor problems, they are all normal minor problems. Laziness doesn't have too many bad ideas, it's good.

That night, Qin Lingling taught Gu Yao to make a hand rope.

Although Gu Yao was a bit slow to get started, she was still serious. But Gu Guoqiang and Gu Chunhua next door did not take a break after a busy day, so they came to look for their sister-in-law. Seeing that Gu Yao was learning to make hand ropes, the two also said they wanted to help.

Gu Yao watched her brother want to learn, and smiled and said, "Guoqiang, you are a man, do you want to learn this too?"

Qin Lingling corrected: "Guoqiang is nothing to learn. This is not something that only women can do. It is something everyone can do. Don't think that sewing clothes and making hand straps are done by women. In fact, men and women are the same. , The same equality."

Qin Lingling's words made Gu Yao dare not say those words anymore, but she still felt a little weird just watching Gu Guoqiang take the rope.

Qin Lingling can understand Gu Yao's thoughts, not just her, most people think so, even in later generations, when boys like to do things that are considered to be female talents, they will be surprised. For many people, although men and women are equal, there are still disagreements in the division of labor.

However, Gu Guoqiang didn't have the talent to do these delicate things. After studying for a long time, those few good ropes finally became a big knot.

Gu Yao laughed at him again this time, "I said I could do it before, but I didn't make up anything."

Gu Guoqiang did not believe in evil, so he tried again, but unfortunately he failed.

This made Gu Guoqiang a little anxious, "Sister-in-law, what can I do if I can't learn?"

He just heard what his sister-in-law said, and he will take them to the city one by one. If he can't do anything, how can he go to the provincial capital?

Thinking of this, Gu Guoqiang was a little frustrated.

He felt that he was too useless. He couldn't do anything well. He felt like a useless person.

He thought more and more, and finally he anxiously looked at Qin Lingling with a grievance.

Gu Yao said back to him, "When the time comes, you can watch the door and show us the door."

Gu Guoqiang looked frustrated, "I don't watch the door, I want to help my sister-in-law."

Seeing him like that, Qin Lingling laughed first, "Don't worry, no, there are many jobs in the city that are suitable for you, you just don't know how to make hand ropes."

Qin Lingling always assured him, but Gu Guoqiang didn't dare to rest assured at all, just trying to do a good job.

However, compared to Gu Guoqiang's lack of talent, even Gu Yao's aptitude is mediocre. It can only be said to be a normal level, but Gu Chunhua, who has not spoken seriously and busy all the time, is quick and good at making up.

Gu Chunhua's talent quickly manifested in the next few days. She was not familiar with it at first, and the editing was not fast, but after being familiar, the editing was beautiful and fast.

Qin Lingling also praised her, but she pleased her and kept asking Qin Lingling, "Then can I follow my sister-in-law to the city?"

"Yes, you can. You will all be here then."

As a result, a family who was already tired with two guns had to help weave a hand rope when they went home at night.

Gu Guoqiang's talent couldn't be reflected, so he could only watch them busy from the sidelines.

In the end, Qin Lingling was considerate of their tiredness, so that they didn't need to help, and waited until after finishing the farming work to make plans.

At home, Qin Lingling's main job every day is to prepare lunch and dinner for the family, and then go to the vegetable garden to water the vegetables and manage the vegetable garden. When the family’s food is mature, Qin Lingling will also help. They will also help together after finishing their work on the production team, but they will no longer divide you and me.

After mid-August, this rural double rush is over.

Qin Lingling ate lychee and longan for a while, and this time the acne appeared on her face. Two acne, big on her forehead, is the beautiful-aged Qin Lingling. Every time she looks in the mirror, she will be caught My acne "cries" with anger.

Gu Yao comforted her, "Sister-in-law, you are still very beautiful, just wait for the acne to dissipate, I have it too, I am not afraid."

Gu Guoqiang also ran and said, "I am not afraid of my face, sister-in-law, don't be afraid, there is nothing to worry about."

Gu Chunhua nodded because she also had acne.

This summer, in addition to the busy farming, there are a bunch of tropical fruits waiting for them to enjoy. These are some fruits that get irritated. No, you can eat acne directly. Plus one or two are young adolescents.

Qin Lingling didn't care about them, but felt uncomfortable, so she found a lot of green herbs to make herbal tea and drank it.

After drinking too much, the two acne on this forehead went down, but this body really got angry, but another fake fire came, so two bigger acne appeared on both cheeks, and they were still symmetrical. Gu Guoqiang and the others had a couple of jokes, and they were pretty good-looking.

Qin Lingling gave them a big roll of eyes, thinking about rubbing some cucumber to remove acne.

Before getting rid of it, Gu Zheng came back.
