I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 197 Homecoming
As soon as she stepped into the area of ​​Dalizi Village, Li Xiuhong was discovered.

Although spring sweet potatoes are far from harvest time, and they did not grow wheat, but due to the abnormal weather this year, Li Dazhu decisively led everyone to sow corn, soybeans, and peanuts one month in advance. Most of the corn was interplanted in sweet potato fields, and a small part was The seeds are sown individually, so everyone is busy.

If Li Xiuhong wanted to go home, she had to go through the fields surrounding their village.

No, just after showing up, many people straightened up and greeted her.

Li Xiuhong and Li Xingxing disappeared for a month, how can everyone not ask?

Knowing that the two mothers entered the city through the relationship of Li Xingxing's grandfather, one has a formal job, the other is studying in high school, and they all eat commercial food, everyone is envious, their eyes are as red as if they were sprinkled with chili noodles.

"Xiuhong is back!"

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've come home after entering the city!"

"People in the city are different. They are white, fat, and don't even have a patch on their clothes. Who would believe that she is 40 years old? She is more handsome than a 20-year-old girl!"

"The white shirt and black skirt that Aunt Xiuhong wears is really pretty, and there are actually a pair of leather shoes on her feet!"

"Da Zhuzi, your sister's house is here, don't you hurry up and ring the gong to get off work?"

Li Dazhu happened to be patrolling this field, and he heard the words: "It's twelve o'clock, if you don't tell me, I should tell you to go off work to cook and eat, and come back to work in the afternoon. It's about our rations for the second half of the year, so don't be lazy." !"

The gong was sounded, resounding through most of the village, and those who heard it went home from work one after another.

Li Dazhu and Li Xiuhong walked side by side, "Your nephews work as long as they can without rest, just to get more wages. Today is not Sunday, why are you back?"

"Our restaurant happens to be the busiest Sunday. I need to buy daily necessities, so I don't go to work today." Li Xiuhong said.

Li Dazhu hummed, and then asked: "How about Xing Xing going to school? Tell her not to worry about anything, study hard, get into a good university, don't believe in the nonsense that studying is useless, do you think those comrades who get high salaries are not intellectuals? The old comrades who fight the world have also studied. If your nephews hadn’t all been educated and able to read, how could they find a job smoothly.”

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a shortage of talents. Except for physical labor, the job opportunities of those who could read and write were ten to a hundred times greater than those of the illiterate.

Some people in the village said sour words, thinking that Li Dazhu relied on his connections to send all his sons and nephews to towns to eat commercial food. In fact, what they relied on was not connections at all, but knowledge. As a teacher in a junior high school in Songhua County, the food, clothing and treatment are good.

It is because Li Xiuhong understands these inside stories that she fully supports her daughter in going to school.

"Xingxing has always been very good. She goes to school on time and leaves school on time. She is good at foreign languages. I think she can be admitted to university." Anyway, in Li Xiuhong's heart, her daughter has no shortcomings in her body.

Li Dazhu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you fail the exam, there is Chen Goudan!"

Li Xiuhong curled her lips, "He's unreliable! Xing Xing asked him for something, and the letter has been sent out for several months? I haven't heard back. Although my alimony was sent on a monthly basis, there was no food stamp."

"Now that the food supply is tight, maybe he himself has difficulties." Li Dazhu said a fair word.

While speaking, he arrived at Lao Li's house.

Before her parents arrived home, Li Xiuhong found two hens with two flocks of chicks and a few ducklings at the door of her house. She couldn't help but ask, "What do you raise at home? There must be more than a dozen chickens? The state gave them permission to raise them? "

Li Dazhu nodded: "The poultry eggs are urgent. The state encourages members to engage in breeding. Collective breeding and private breeding are carried out at the same time, and the supply and marketing cooperatives purchase them uniformly. Everyone is afraid of changing the order from day to day, so they dare not raise them. Our family has to take the lead. Parents not only raise chickens Raising ducks and two piglets, it’s just a bit harder for people, and we have to hunt pigweed every day.”
