Chapter 307 The 70s (5)
Unable to figure it out, Wangyou put it aside and went straight to her room to rest.
Qian Xiaohua nervously told the rest of her family about it. The old man and the old woman were heartbroken and kept saying that Wangyou needed to be nourished. As for Qian Xiaohua, she was punished by being made to cook something delicious for Wangyou.
There used to be a lot of these things in Hongxing Village. In the summer, the croaking noise at night was incredibly loud. When Wangyou was little, she would cry whenever she heard that sound. After it happened many times, the Qian family caught all the ones near their house. When the villagers found out, since most of them were from the same clan, they helped catch them.
The children were constantly warned by the adults, so no one dared to bring this thing to Wangyou. As a result, Wangyou had hardly ever seen it when she grew up, and the toads and frogs in Hongxing Village were almost hunted to extinction.
When Wangyou woke up, she was greeted with loving and concerned looks from her family. To be honest, she couldn't bear it, so after dinner, she fled back to her room.
Afterwards, when Wangyou took her nephews and nieces out to play, they were repeatedly warned to keep the toads out of her sight.
After the brigade handed over the grain, the exciting moment of distributing the grain arrived, and Wangyou also joined in the fun, running around in the crowd.
Wangyou and her family were large and strong, and they basically had full work points. They received a lot of grain, but it was only enough for the whole family to live frugally until the next year, and they still needed other subsidies in between.
After that, the brigade started organizing people to go hunting in the mountains, which was a way to give everyone some income and let them eat meat together.
Wangyou secretly wanted to go too, but the adults unanimously rejected her. Her family's reason was that she was too young, and the brigade leader's reason was that if something happened to Wangyou, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Would Wangyou easily give up her idea after being rejected? Of course not, and she wouldn't let the adults worry either. So, Wangyou took her nephews and nieces to smoke wild rabbit.
Qian Xiaohua has been going out with Xiangyang a lot lately, and she always brings back a lot of things. He's quite generous, no wonder his resentment lingers even after Qian Xiaohua's death.
As a soldier, he didn't die on the battlefield, but indirectly died at the hands of his cousin, which is truly lamentable.
As for why this cousin is in Xiangyang's family, this cousin, Xiang Kui, is actually the daughter of Xiangyang's uncle. However, Xiang Kui's parents lost their assets while trying to save the brigade, so she was adopted by Xiangyang's parents.
Because Xiangyang's parents and Xiangkui's parents had a good relationship and pitied her for losing her family at a young age, they spoiled her a bit. She took a fancy to a female educated youth, but that educated youth didn't like Xiangkui and argued with another female educated youth. During the argument, the two fell into the river, and then Xiangkui's body was possessed by that female ghost.
Actually, Wangyou was quite curious to know whether Xiang Kui would still like that educated youth after experiencing someone taking her body.
That day, she was so distracted by a frog that she completely lost interest in watching the show, which is a little regrettable.
However, Duobao has a playback function, but Wangyou is too lazy to watch it.
Xiangyang and Qian Xiaohua's relationship developed rapidly, and they got their marriage certificate in just a few days. After getting the certificate, the two families started to hold the wedding.
After the wedding, Qian Xiaohua went to join Xiangyang in the army. In her previous life, Qian Xiaohua did not go, so she suffered a lot of trouble from the transmigrated woman. Therefore, before getting married, Qian Xiaohua asked Wangyou and decisively agreed to go with Xiangyang in the army.
When Qian Xiaohua left, her family was quite unaccustomed to it. The Qian family had few girls and many boys. Her eldest brother's family only had Xiaohua as a daughter, her second brother's family didn't have any, her third brother's family had a four-year-old daughter, her fourth brother's family had two naughty boys, and her fifth brother wasn't married yet. However, since Xiaohua's marriage was settled, it was estimated that his marriage would be next.
A week later, a letter was delivered to Wangyou's doorstep.
When Wangyou opened it, she saw that it contained money notes that Old Zhao had applied for for her, as well as five job openings at the machinery factory. It was quite a generous gesture.
"Since everyone is here, I have some good news to tell you today."
"Little sister, what's the good news? Don't stand, sit down and tell me."
"Old Zhao gave me five job openings at the machinery factory. I thought about it, and one for each of my five older brothers would be just fine," Wangyou said with a grin, pulling out five letters of recommendation.
"Am I dreaming?" the old lady exclaimed, pinching her thigh hard.
"Mom, don't pinch yourself, it hurts so much!" Wangyou watched the old lady pinch herself, and it looked painful.
"Mom, this feels like a dream!"
"Stop dreaming, it's real!" Wangyou said with a grin.
Everyone in the family is literate, and they took the book one by one to look at it. It all felt unreal; it seemed like their family was going to produce workers, and five of them at once.
"Let me tell you, this job was given to you by your sister because she loves you. You'd better remember how good my darling is to you, or I won't let you off the hook." Seeing how happy everyone was, the old lady felt sorry for her little girl.
"Mom, what are you saying? When we get paid, we'll give half to our little sister," the older brother said with a smile.
"Little sister, I probably can't do this job. I'm thinking of joining the army." After thinking for a long time, Qian Xiaoye still wanted to join the army. The military uniform is so cool. Besides, he has learned martial arts from his little sister over the years. He can make a greater contribution by joining the army.
"Fifth Brother, being a soldier is tough. I support you if you can persevere," Wangyou said with a smile.
This left one job vacant, and in the end, the old man and the old woman decided to let their eldest son, Qian Duoduo, who was only seventeen years old and not yet married, take over the position.
The work was given to them, and they kept quiet, sitting leisurely under the eaves basking in the sun.
As for the money and tickets, Wangyou didn't mention it, and no one in the family asked. After all, Wangyou provided the job, and the money and tickets belonged to her; they didn't covet them and dared not.
For the first time in her life, Wangyou had more than a thousand yuan in bills, and the next day she kept pestering her family to let her go to the county town to play.
Actually, Wangyou wanted to go alone, but none of her family members agreed.
"Mom, I just want to go to the county town for a visit. Please let me go. I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back."
"You can go, but you can't go alone. Protect the family and the country. You two go with your aunt, but don't make her carry heavy things!"
"Okay, Grandma!" Baojia and Baoguo ran over excitedly. They were twins from the second wife's side, looking almost identical and with similar temperaments. They were fifteen years old this year and were overjoyed to hear that they could go to the county with their aunt.
And so, the three of them arrived at the village entrance and set off in Grandpa Niu's oxcart.
Once the other family members had their jobs assigned, they took their recommendation letters to the brigade leader to obtain their introduction letters.
There's not much to see in the county town. As for the junkyard, which is a must-visit for time-traveling women, Wangyou didn't go there at all. Most of the items that can be put in the junkyard are probably junk. Nobody's stupid enough to leave treasures there for you to collect at will.
Instead of going to the junkyard, she might as well stroll around the entrances of the various committees; she could collect everything there.
