In the age of rebirth, the female supporting role was cleaned up again

Chapter 44 Envy
But it's a pity that Shen Yuling's thinking is completely different from that of Shen Laosi and his wife. She couldn't convince her father or mother, so this matter ended up being nothing.

The days went on like this day by day, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the new year again, because the crop harvest this year was not very good, almost all of Fang Youshun's allowance was bought for food, so he was unable to buy a new life for any of the Shen family brothers and sisters. Clothes, I just reluctantly bought some candy to reward Shen Yuxiu and Shen Yulin for getting into the top five. After dividing the two, the rest was divided equally between Shen Yuwen and his brothers and sisters like last year, and these few pieces of candy It became the only sweetness for these brothers and sisters this year.

After the Chinese New Year, everyone was one year older. At the beginning of February, a child's crying and howling sounded in the courtyard of Shen's house, and Shen Yuxiu had a younger sister since then.

Her father named the younger sister Shen Yusui, the ear of the wheat ear, because it didn't snow too much last year, and her father hoped that this year the wheat would be better and still produce good ears of wheat.

Shen Yuxiu was stunned at the time.

Is the name so casual?Just for a good harvest?

Shen Yuxiu stared at the little sister who looked like a red monkey in the swaddling baby, and couldn't help asking Grandma Fang: "Then what about me, why am I called Shen Yuxiu? What does this sleeve represent?"

"What does that mean? When you were just born, the small one could be wrapped with a sleeve of your mother's clothes. Your father thought you were born with a small baby, so he called it a small sleeve." Grandma Fang said with a smile. The origin of her name.

Shen Yuxiu grinned when she heard that, and couldn't believe that she named her name so casually.

Fortunately, when she was in school, she was very proud of her name for a few days. After all, her name was very eye-catching among the big girls, second girls, Zhaodi, Laidi, and flowers and plants in the village, but it turned out that it was only because When I was born, I was able to wrap it up with only one sleeve?

This is too easy, right?
Shen Yuxiu was a little upset, but children are very forgetful, and she forgot all about it after a few days. At the same time, another shocking news came from the village.

One night, her father Shen Jinggui and grandparents suddenly started talking at the dinner table.

It is said that the farms in the east have been mechanized this year, and several tractors and water pumps have been introduced. Now the farms in the east are diverting the Yellow River for irrigation and water conservancy.

It is said that with these machines, even if there is another drought in the future, as long as there is water in the Yellow River, the crops will no longer be short of water or even die from drought.

Although Shen Yuxiu was ignorant and didn't know what these so-called machines looked like, she could see how excited and envious her father was.

Of course, Shen Jinggui is not the only one who envies the farm in the east, but almost everyone. This way, you can irrigate the crops without waiting for the master to rain. Who wouldn't be envious? .

Although the tractors and water pumps belonged to other people's farms and had nothing to do with them villagers, people still couldn't help talking about the days, and some even secretly calculated how much their team would harvest. , How many days of frugality can I afford to buy such a machine.

If their own team also had these two things, would they no longer have to look at God's face to eat?
And this news touched not only the hearts of adults, but even the children in school were chattering excitedly every day.

They imagined what the so-called tractor looked like, and what the water pump looked like, but they exhausted their imagination, and they couldn't come up with the specific appearance of those things.

And as the days went by, when people were tired of talking about the big news, the sky became dry again, and the seepage pit where people drank water in the back of the village could no longer supply the whole village, and even the Yellow River Fortunately, even if the flow is cut off, the water in the river is still enough for people to eat, otherwise, the people here may not even have water to drink.

When the wheat was harvested, because the wheat was not supplied with enough water when the ears were eared, the summer grain production of each team and brigade was seriously reduced. On the contrary, in the farms in the east, the summer grain harvest was bumper. During this time of drought everywhere, a large batch of patriotic food was donated.

Not long after the summer grain was collected, a notice was issued in the commune to disband the cafeteria.

Just to let you know, each team quickly distributed the food to each family according to the method of seven labors and three labors. From then on, people no longer have to touch the spoon in a big pot.

At the same time, each team also allocated some private land to the commune members. The commune strongly encouraged and supported people to open up wasteland in those idle wastelands, and strived for each team to grow more land and collect more food at that time.

In this way, Shen Yuxiu ended the days of digging wild vegetables and bringing them to school every day, and changed to go home after school for lunch at noon.

And Fang Youshun, who originally planned to take the children to escape again during the summer vacation because of the bad harvest this year, also concentrated on tinkering with the private land.

The basin of melon seedlings he brought back in the yard last year produced tens of catties of sweet potatoes in autumn, and the yield was much higher than that of wheat. I didn't dare to plant too many, so I only left a few pieces of sweet potatoes as seeds, and let the children eat the rest.

But now that the cafeteria has been disbanded and he has private land, he must plant as much as he can. Of course, in order not to delay the planting season, he did not wait for the sweet potato seedlings to grow branches slowly, and then cut them down and plant them in the ground. Instead, he went directly to the place where he had bought sweet potato seedlings on three rounds, bought a third round of sweet potato seedlings, and planted them in the private plots of his family and his daughter and son-in-law.

Fearing that these sweet melon seedlings would be dry, Fang Youshun always got up early every morning, and took the pots and cans at home to bring water to the Yellow River to irrigate the field, hoping that these sweet melon seedlings would be more prosperous and produce more sweet potatoes.

Early in the morning, Fang Youshun rode a tricycle to the Yellow River to bring water to the Yellow River as usual after eating, and Grandma Fang asked Shen Yuxiu and his siblings to lock the door when they went to school, and went to the daughter's house. While going to hug the five-month-old Shen Yusui, he called Shen Yujun along the way, so that the couple could take their two older children to work.

Now Shen Yuwen and Shen Yuzhen can already earn five work points. Today’s work points are not as useless as when they were eating in the cafeteria. Now one more work point means one more food. Why not go there?
Now Fang Yan, his wife and children no longer eat breakfast in Fang's yard, mainly because Shen Yusui still needs to breastfeed, and Fang Yan is tired of taking care of the children all night, so she is not willing to rush here early in the morning.

Moreover, Shen Jinggui can cook, and Shen Yuzhen's cooking skills are not bad, so they simply eat at home in the morning.When they are full, send the two little ones to Grandma Fang, or Grandma Fang comes here to pick up the two children, and they can go to work directly.

Shen Yulin didn't know what was going on today. After the two adults left, she wolfed down a few mouthfuls. Seeing that Shen Yuxiu was still eating at a leisurely pace, she asked her to eat and go to school by herself later. One step hurried away.

This kind of thing has happened more than once, and Shen Yuxiu has long been accustomed to it. She looked at his back in a hurry and continued to eat her meal slowly.
