The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 178 The first settlement of accounts

If there was anything that was most lively in the countryside in the 60s, it was the scene of a large family sitting around a table eating.There was no family planning in this era, and children were born with great effort. Every woman seemed to be unable to stop the car, and a family was very strong.

Since Bai Meixi got married, the atmosphere at the dinner table has been much better than before.Bai Meixi has a good personality and is kind, and her family quite likes her temperament.If there is anyone I don't like, one is my sister-in-law and the other is my second sister-in-law.

However, Bai Meixi doesn't care. There are two types of people in the world, those who like you and those who hate you.Bai Meixi knows that she is not a god, and it is impossible for everyone to like her.

After finishing the meal, the sister-in-law was just about to clear away the dishes. Bai Meixi waved her hand and said to the sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy cleaning up now. Sit down. While everyone is here, I have something to say."

Seeing Bai Meixi's serious look, the sister-in-law couldn't help but feel a little confused. She raised her head and looked at everyone, who also had confused looks on their faces.But no matter whether they were doubtful or not, everyone sat there tacitly without moving.

Bai Meixi is now the head of a family. If she says she has something to say, it means there will be a family meeting.But this is out of season, and it’s not time to pay living expenses, so why is there suddenly a meeting?

The sister-in-law put the bowls and chopsticks in her hands back on the table and sat back obediently.

Bai Meixi stood up and said, "Everyone, wait for me for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."

After saying that, Bai Meixi hurriedly walked out of the room, went to her own room, and took her accounting book.

When Bai Meixi came back, she sat back in her seat again, put away the dishes and chopsticks next to her, wiped the table with a rag, put the account book on the table, and then said to everyone:

"Time flies. It flies by so fast. I have been in charge of the business for a month. Today, while everyone is here, I will check the accounts for everyone."

"Ouch! So that's what happened!" The sister-in-law said suddenly, "My third daughter-in-law, I have already said it. There is no need to reconcile the accounts. We all believe in you as the head of the house."

"No, no, the accounts still have to be correct. Sister-in-law, don't rush around now. Reconciling the accounts is not a hassle. It will be done in a while." Bai Meixi faced the sister-in-law who stood up again and wanted to clean up the dishes. said.

My sister-in-law is an honest person, and she doesn’t have so many thoughts in her heart to be suspicious of others or jealous of others.She felt that she knew Bai Meixi very well now, and she also believed that Bai Meixi would take charge of this family.

The sister-in-law paused in her movements, and glanced at Chengmu, only to see Chengmu nodded to her and motioned for her to sit down obediently.

The sister-in-law also obediently put down the things in her hands and sat back down again.Bai Meixi spread out the account book and said to everyone: "When I first took charge of the business, Haiyi's passbook contained 120 yuan, and my mother gave me another 26 yuan and 140 cents. We remember it very much here. To be clear, in this case, the total living expenses are 24, six yuan and thirty-six cents. From here on, it is the living expenses for this month, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. I have recorded all the expenses here. The total is [-] yuan, three cents and two cents. Money. I won’t talk about this one by one. Everyone will take turns to look at the account book later. If you don’t understand anything, you can point it out. If there is anything wrong, you can correct it. "

Bai Meixi looked at the silent people in front of her. Everyone had their own expressions. Bai Meixi no longer wanted to guess what they were thinking in their hearts.No matter what they think, it is no longer important to Bai Meixi.Now that she is in charge of the family, she must fulfill her obligations and do what she should do.Just do your duty and don't let others find fault.

Bai Meixi paused and continued: "Here it is! It's mom's expense for buying medicine. This month's total is 28 yuan and 53 cents. Including living expenses, the total monthly expenditure is 140 yuan. Zero and eight cents. Using the total of 93 yuan and [-] cents, deducting one month’s living expenses and mom’s medicine expenses, the total credit is [-] yuan and [-] cents.”

As Bai Meixi spoke, she picked up the account book, handed it to her father-in-law who was sitting next to her, and said, "Dad, you are the head of the family, please come and take a look first!"

Cheng's father didn't want to look at it at first, but the eyes he looked at Bai Meixi were full of sincerity, and he didn't want to shame Bai Meixi, so he took the account book over, looked at it for a while, and then She returned the accounting book to Bai Meixi and said, "The third daughter-in-law remembers the account clearly and clearly. I think it's pretty good. There's nothing to correct her. Besides, the third daughter-in-law is also capable and knows how to run a household." , when your mother was in charge of the family, she only had more than 90 yuan left after a month. When the third daughter-in-law was in charge, she had more than [-] yuan left in a month! This disparity is huge."

Cheng's father actually didn't look carefully, he just looked at a rough number. Bai Meixi had already explained it very clearly just now, so there was no need for him to pursue it in detail.He still believed in Bai Meixi very much, and these words gave Bai Meixi enough face.

After Bai Meixi took it, she wanted to give it to Cheng's mother. Cheng's mother saw Bai Meixi's intention. Before she came over, she said with a smile: "Your father represents me. Your father saw it." , it’s like I watched it.”

Bai Meixi smiled slightly, and then handed the account book to her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law waved her hands repeatedly and laughed and said: "This account book, it knows me, I don't know it. If you show me the wheat and corn in the field, I know it." , only when I look at this thing, my eyes go dark and I don’t understand anything.”

When Bai Meixi saw her elder sister-in-law being so generous, she didn't bother her and gave the account book to her elder brother.

After that, everyone took a look at it one by one. Originally, the second sister-in-law was thinking of picking out some explanations from the account book, but what Bai Meixi recorded was so clear that there were no flaws to follow. In the end, So I gave up.

"Let me say something." After reading the account book and seeing everyone preparing to leave, Chengmu spoke up and said: "Actually, the job of being the head of the house is really hard, and it takes a lot of effort and brainpower. The third daughter-in-law If she can keep this house in order, we should all give her great support and never hold her back."

When Cheng's mother said this, she paused again, sighed deeply, and said: "Hey! Having the third daughter-in-law planning really saved the family a lot of money. It's just that I, an old woman, am useless and spend too much money. ”

"Mom, it's common sense to treat illnesses. Don't think so. From now on, you can just treat illnesses with peace of mind." Bai Meixi was very grateful for her mother's support and comforted her.
