The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

Chapter 19 Family Meeting
  He was not wrong. Based on the current situation, he was basically accurate in everything he said, and he was afraid of being more truthful in everything.

"Okay, okay. Today is my happy day... Oops, I made a mistake. Marriage is the only happy day, right?" Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, Mo Bin made a joke, making everyone laugh. laugh.

How do people in this era laugh? Those who work in marketing are good at grasping the rhythm, and things like controlling the market couldn't be easier for him.

"Today, there are several happy events in our family. The first one is that I returned from my job. Although I have scars all over my body, I am lucky compared to my comrades who sacrificed their lives. Secondly, the organization has arranged for me to serve as the chief of the third procurement section. I will work hard. Complete my job. Thirdly, in order to support the country in repaying its debts, and in response to the call from superiors, I did my best and bought several houses. Even if I couldn’t live in them, I could share them with my brothers and sisters, which was a small way of supporting the country. Fourth, the factory leaders considered my situation and gave me a reward. They gave Lao Wu a car apprenticeship, which can be considered a small happy event! Dear fellow villagers, for the sake of our country and the common revolutionary cause , Cheers!" Mo Bin gave an impassioned speech, and from now on no one in the courtyard would dare to raise an opinion with jealousy.

A group of adults started drinking, and young people came over to have a drink while laughing and scolding. Some women also drank two drinks, but Mo Bin didn't care.

He also took the opportunity to propose that he would invite the first aunt, the third aunt, and Qin Huairu to help cook a Chinese meal tomorrow. The three of them would eat with the three children. They would give two eggs and two kilograms of cornmeal as thank-you gifts every day. They could not give money, but the neighbors would help. .

The weather was cold, and the banquet ended quickly. Everyone helped clean up. Under the persuasion of her son, Meng Xiumei reluctantly distributed some leftovers to each family.

The entire Mo family was crowded together in the east room. The children were very energetic and did not sleep even after eating. The room seemed very crowded.

"Dad, stop smoking. There are so many children and the house is small. Look how uncomfortable it is." Mo Bin frowned and said to the old man.

Mo Zhendong saw that it was indeed the case. A small room was filled with smoke. He carefully put out the cigarette. He still had half of it left but was reluctant to throw it away. It was a good cigarette and it was his first time to smoke Zhonghua.

"Sister-in-law, younger brother and sister-in-law, this is the first time for us to meet each other. We are all a family, and we are getting along slowly. If you have any questions, I will ask my eldest brother and fourth son tonight. Don't worry about your work. I know what I know, and I will try my best to do it before the end of the year. I'll help you get a regular job, and it will be easier if you change to a better employer." Mo Bin said to his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law Ye Lan is a temporary worker in a food factory, with a monthly salary of 18 yuan and 22 kilograms of grain. It is still the most tiring job.

The fourth daughter-in-law is also a temporary worker in the cotton factory in the north of the city. It is also very hard. The high temperature in the cotton factory workshop is fine in winter, but she suffers in summer.

"Sister-in-law, thank you in advance. The children are getting bigger and bigger, and they will soon have to spend money for school. I can't count on your brother. I am not afraid of hardship, but the salary is too low and the food rations are not enough." Ye Lan is a real person. People are outspoken and outspoken.

"Thank you, second brother. I work far away from home and am quite tired from work. It's okay to be a little bit tired. But I didn't feel well two days ago. I went to the hospital for a checkup. I got the result today and said I'm pregnant. I'm also worried. What should I do? If I am seven or eight months pregnant, how can I go to work in the workshop?" Feng Xianglian, the fourth daughter-in-law, followed.

"So our family has another happy event today. The fourth child is also going to be a father. In this way, work matters cannot be rushed. They cannot be solved at once. I don't have the ability." Mo Bin told the truth.

"That's the problem. There are many leaders who are older than you, and not everyone in the family can solve it. If it really doesn't work, let your mother retire early and give the job to Chunlan. I originally thought of giving it to Lao Wu, but now he has a better job. No more work." Mo Zhendong said aloud. "No, my mother is only 46 years old. She doesn't care about the salary. Retiring at such a young age and raising children at home? How boring is that? I have arrangements for work. Besides, the scrap station is not a good job. This is the bicycle ticket given by the leader. , I don’t need it anymore. Fourth brother, you can take leave tomorrow to buy a bicycle and pick up your younger siblings every day, or you can simply buy a women’s model and let her ride it by herself, and wait for me to arrange it for a while.” Mo Bin took out his bicycle ticket and 180 Dollars are placed on the table.

"That won't work. Bicycle tickets are so rare. If you can't buy a women's model, just buy the Forever 28. I'm not short, and I can ride it with the seat in the end." Feng Xianglian was the first to object. Loaded bicycles are more practical. But it’s a big item in the house!
  Bicycles in this era are basically still a luxury for ordinary families, mainly because bicycle tickets are unavailable.

"You two make up your mind. Anyway, I don't care. Once we get the tickets, we can talk about the boss and Hongli. This thing won't be that difficult." Mo Bin said nonchalantly.

"Second brother, you give us the tickets and we will pay for it. We have saved a little money over the years. Now that you have taken care of your house and work, your mother and I will buy you a bicycle." Mo Zhendong drank. After one sip of tea, the couple saved two to three thousand yuan.

"Okay, that's it. We are all here. You probably know it. I will explain some of the things you don't understand. My parents bought these two houses and the penthouse. I will separate the eldest brother's house and the fourth house on the west side. I bought all the time..." Mo Bin told the story again.

"Do you all understand? We have agreed on the house and pension matters. It is about work. The boss, Hongli, and the fourth child are all regular workers. I will also take care of the fifth child, and I will also take care of the sixth child after that. Sister-in-law, I will try my best to arrange a good job for my brothers and sisters, at least full-time jobs. I will also transfer my brother-in-law to the steel rolling mill. The fifth daughter-in-law will tell me when the time comes. If it doesn't work, she will take over my mother's job. The sixth daughter-in-law is still early." Mo Bin said one by one. Roll call arrangement.

Before everyone could express their opinions, Mo Bin waved his hand to stop him, "You don't need to talk anymore. It's useless to talk. You all listen to me. But let me make it clear that we are brothers and sisters of the same mother-in-law, including your partner. I will help You guys give me one, and it’s the last time. Do you understand that I don’t owe you anything?
  I tell the ugly things first, so as to save everyone's heart. You raise your children by yourself and make arrangements for yourself. Don't expect me. That is your responsibility as parents! Not to mention your relatives, who have nothing to do with me, don't open your mouth to me, it will save everyone embarrassment. "Mo Bin directly blocked their future access. He worked so hard to help just to make it easier in the future.

One is the current environment, and the other is opportunities. There will be great changes in the next ten years. It will be very difficult for him to do these things. What will he do then? We are all a family, brothers and sisters. How can we watch them lie down tiredly and not care about them when they are hungry?
  "The second brother has done everything he can. As brothers, you know it in your heart. Helping you is a matter of affection, and not helping you is a duty. How many people plot against their brothers just to get a few more dollars to separate the family? , a few rotten dishes and bowls, causing brothers to turn against each other, not to mention rural areas, there are many around us, right?" Mo Zhendong took the opportunity to hit them.

"Dad, don't worry, we know it well. Even though my second brother is providing for you in old age, we can't ignore it. Meeting a brother like Binzi is a blessing we have accumulated in our eight lives. We can't rely on him for everything. Then there is still life. What do you mean!" Mo Yongcheng said hurriedly.

"Yes, the second brother has done enough. We can't be dissatisfied. It would be useless if both of us were working full-time and didn't need to provide for the elderly and couldn't even take care of our own children." Mo Yongtai, the fourth child, also said Followed by talking.

"Let alone a married woman like me, I have never heard of my brother buying a house for me from all over the country. We don't dare to trouble the second brother anymore." Mo Hongli also said.

"I will find a wife with a formal job in the future, so I don't need to bother my second brother." Mo Yongqiang, the fifth child, interrupted.

"I..." Mo Hongling, the sixth child, didn't know what to say. She had many troubles for her second brother.

"Sixth brother, you are still young. Study hard and try to get into college. Second brother will take care of you until you get married and work. Fifth brother, put on your gift later and follow dad to become a master and learn skills. This is a good job. I'll go to Dongxu's place and come back to take Hongli and you home. The children are sleepy and have to go to work tomorrow." Mo Bin stood up and said.
